When Santana's alarm went off on Friday morning she quickly silenced it as to not wake Rachel. Breakfast in bed wouldn't be a surprise if Rachel was awake to watch her make it. Santana quietly slipped out from underneath the covers and grabbed her robe before making her way downstairs. Her stomach fluttered with nervous jitters, today was finally the big day. Hopefully by tonight she would be an engaged woman and she couldn't be more excited. She had been really worried after yesterday evening that all the plans she had made for today was going to fall through.

After their little spat about Jasper, Rachel and Santana had spent the evening enjoying each others company and hanging out. Well they done more than hang out, even a little spat could justify some pretty awesome make-up sex. She truly didn't mean to make Rachel upset, she trusted her more than anything, it just Jasper she didn't trust. The thought of her maybe just being paranoid still lingered in the back of her mind. Maybe it was just something ingrained in her that kept her wary of new people, a self protection mechanism of sorts. However, once she officially met Jasper and figured out more about him, her current opinion of him could change. If that was the case then she welcomed that change, like Rachel had said, she couldn't hang around the studio all day if he got the job.

For now she was going to push all of that out of her mind, because she had a breakfast to cook and then once Rachel was gone she had a cabin to set up. Santana gathered all the things that she would need to make what had became Rachel's favorite breakfast, torrijas. Really she thinks Rachel just likes the fact she can justifiably eat something fairly sweet for breakfast. Along with the torrijas there was a fruit salad and obviously orange juice and coffee. It wasn't a huge breakfast by any means, but they don't really do heavy breakfasts that often. Heavy breakfasts were saved for hangover mornings.

Santana moved around the kitchen as quietly as possible. Why was it that when you were trying to be quiet everything seemed to sound a thousand times louder? Oh, you want that pan off the rack let's make these other two pans clang together first. You want that one bowl on the top shelf, how about this invisible force almost pushes all of them out onto your head. Now all the plates make noise! It was like a never ending battle. Maybe she should have stuffed some ear plugs in Rachel's ears before she came down this morning.

Dax came barreling into the kitchen when he heard all the ruckus that Santana was making. Considering Dahlia was in her play pen, she settled for howling to get Santana's attention that she too was hungry. Quickly putting an end to that nonsense, Santana sat Dax up with a bowl of food and took Dahlia a little bowl of her favorite kibble. She was in a time crunch now, both dogs always had to go to the bathroom roughly thirty minutes after breakfast. They were like clock work.

Santana grinned at her handy work proudly. She knew she could cook, if painting ever failed her she could easily transition into a master chef. The food tray was set up very carefully and neatly, finished off with a little flower in a vase. Now she just had to make it up the stairs without tripping, dropping or sloshing anything. That was a task within itself. Dax and Dahlia were both playing with their toys in the living room. It was nice that Dax had someone to play with him now, he didn't have to depend on his master all the time to throw his frisbee.

Laughing at Dahlia who was eagerly trying to take Dax's rope toy, Santana made her way slowly up the stairs to the loft. Rachel was still snoozing away or at least pretending to be snoozing. Santana didn't need to know that she had been awake for roughly ten minutes just laying there thinking about proposing. It needed to be perfect, there were so many ideas running around in her head.

"Rachel." Santana called quietly as she reached the top of the stairs. She bit her lip in thought about how she was going to open the gate with her hands full. Stepping over it seemed to be the most logical option, except her legs were kind of short no matter how hard she denied it. She didn't have to think long before Rachel decided to open her eyes. Smiling when she saw Santana looking at the gate like it was a bomb she was trying to defuse, Rachel got out of the bed to open it for her. Santana smiled gratefully and then ushered Rachel right back into bed.

"What's this for?" Rachel asked as she climbed back under the covers and Santana sat the tray down.

"Just wanted to make you breakfast in bed before you had to get ready." Santana shrugged her shoulders bashfully like it was no big deal.

"Are you going to eat with me?" Rachel held out a fork with a piece of pineapple on it.

"I snacked while I was cooking. But I will join you." Santana carefully climbed on the bed and laid down beside Rachel. Rachel bent over and gave Santana a lovely good morning kiss and thanked her for breakfast. Santana was doing a happy dance internally, Rachel appreciated her breakfast and the morning was off to a great start. Leroy had messaged her after he left the lodge and let her know that the dress was there and waiting. Her mental check list was looking good so far.

Rachel moaned around a mouth full of torrijas. She always loved when Santana made this or churro's for breakfast. Any time that you could start your day off with something sweet was a great day. Rachel wondered what was going on with Santana. Breakfast in bed wasn't an outlandish thing for Santana to do, but the way Santana was acting is what had Rachel puzzled. She looked nervous but excited, like she was dangling on the edge of some fascinating new thing for the world to marvel at.

"What's going on with you?" Rachel asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

Santana shrugged her shoulders from where she laying propped up on her elbow on the bed. "Nothing, just in a really good mood today."

"Did you almost blow something up again?" Rachel narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"What?! No, of course not. Why would you think that would put me in a really good mood anyway? That was one time and it's not my fault the cap slipped and the wires accidentally touched." Santana sat upright ready to defend herself. She knew what she was doing when she worked on her solar panels and battery storage system. It wasn't her fault that Rachel had came out there in nothing but her robe and Santana had gotten distracted and didn't double check that the cap was on a wire while she worked on the other. Rachel was exaggerating, it wasn't anything close to an almost explosion. It was simply a medium sized spark...which result in some dead batteries she had to replace but that was it. "Like I said, I am just in a really good mood. You're going to have a lovely day with your dad and I am going to paint you something magnificent."

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us? I mean he treats you like his daughter too."

Santana shook her head. "Today is all about you two."

After giving Santana a more proper thank you for breakfast, Rachel finally went to get in the shower. She had to be quick considering her thank you had taken a little longer than she had anticipated. Sometimes when she was beyond loved up leaving Santana was like temporarily detaching one of her limbs. Reluctantly she had made her way into the shower while Santana waited upstairs for her turn. Rachel didn't know why they just didn't take a shower together in the first place and then she remembered that yeah they would have gotten carried away again and Leroy was supposed to be there in just over a half an hour. She really did need to hurry.

Rachel was just about to put her shoes on when there was a knock on the front door. Santana's eyes went wide as she quickly darted towards the hadn't even bothered to look at the time when she came down the stairs. Leroy didn't need to have any idea about the things that Santana had done to his daughter this morning, it was just too embarrassing.

"Hi Dad!" Rachel greeted in her most innocent voice as she pulled the door open.

"Hi, honey. How are you this morning." Leroy responded placing a kiss on Rachel's cheek.

"I'm great." Rachel sighed happily as she leaned against the front door for support. Leroy eyed her warily. He really didn't want to know.

"Are you ready to go?" Leroy asked as he glanced around the cabin, presumably looking for his other daughter.

"Yeah, just let me go say bye to Santana, she was getting ready to take a shower." Rachel stepped away from the door and headed in the direction that Santana had went.

"I'm leaving now babe." Rachel called as she knocked on the bathroom door. Santana opened the door a crack so that Rachel could see her face.

"Okay, I love you and have fun. I will see you tonight when you get home." Santana gave Rachel a dopey grin. The woman still had no idea what had put Santana in a really good mood. Now however, she was in a super lovey good mood which could mean great things for Rachel.

With a goodbye kiss, Santana stepped back into the bathroom and shut the door. Rachel waited until she could hear the water running before she made her way back into the living room making sure she was quiet as possible before grabbing the barn key off the hook by the door. Leroy watched her curiously with amusement in his eyes.

"I have to run to the barn and get something really quick before we go." Rachel said as she practically sprinted across the yard, not giving Leroy any time to respond. Leroy just watched her go as he made his way back to his car to wait.

Rachel unlocked and opened the side door on the barn, it would take too long to open the main doors by herself. Counting in her head she walked down to the stall that contained the hidden ring. Grinning triumphantly when she found it. She marveled at the ring that she had picked out, it was simple for the most part. Rachel had never seen the style of ring before, a black diamond princess cut with a 18k black gold band. When she saw it, Rachel knew it was all she could ever dream of giving Santana in the form of a ring.

She closed the box quickly and stuffed it into her pocket before she sprinted back across the yard and into the cabin to put the barn key back. She could just barely hear the water still running over the sound of Santana singing. It was nice to hear Santana sing, she had a beautiful voice but she didn't show it off nearly enough. Maybe she could try and convince Santana to sing on a song with her one day. She had asked before and Santana remained strong with her firm answer of no, it never hurts to ask again.

Leroy watched Rachel skip out of the cabin and finally make her way into the car. He had so many questions that he wanted to ask, however he knew that Rachel would tell him soon enough. You could feel the energy starting to crackle around Rachel, whatever was going on.. it was going to be big.
