''Oh no.'' Brittany breaths out with wide eyes as Puck and Amelia both stand up with shit eating grins after they enjoyed their dinner and talking with their friends and family.
Santana giggles as she watches her slide down her chair and shakes her head as Puck and Amelia just smirk, Amelia gently taps her spoon against her glass and looks around with a grin. ''Hey all, I am Amelia one of Britt's best friends.''
''And I am Puck, well Noah for her, her other best friend or well her brother.'' Puck breaths out chuckling, he locks eyes with Brittany and smiles. ''Britt and I grew up together and she is really one of the people, who will walk through fire for her friends and family never thinking about the consequences for herself.''
''I can only agree with that.'' Amelia breaths out. ''Best example I can give you is the second year of college, we both just got called regulars for the first time after being benched for over a year because our grades weren't really satisfying and during the first game I was so stressed that I messed up so many pisses that everyone but B was mad.''
''Our coach was known to pull the girls playing bad off of the field during half-time and a nasty speech, so twenty minutes in Brittany used a water break to pull me aside and talk some sense into me.'' She locks eyes with Brittany and tilts her head. ''Do you remember what you told me?''
''Yes.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''And it's definitely not child appropriate.''
''A big part of it isn't.'' Amelia agrees. ''But one quote still enters my mind whenever I have a bad day.''
''Do you remember the two words I uttered, that almost made you kick my butt in front of god knows how many people?''
''You can't.'' Brittany breaths out as she hears Santana's soft snicker knowing that she still hates those words, Amelia nods her head and chuckles.
''And what was your reply?'' She tilts her head as Brittany just raises an eyebrow, knowing she is going through their conversation back then and smiles lovingly. ''Let me just tell everyone that part, because that conversation, was and still is on loop whenever we train and I feel like I can't give all.''
She looks around and smiles. ''I was quite nervous because it was our first match as regulars and whereas Brittany immediately fought and showed our coach that it was a mistake not to pick her out sooner, I stood back, watched her play the magic that appears whenever she hits the field and doubted every single pass, shot or tackle which caused me to give away the ball very often.''
She nods her head to Brittany and smiles. ''Brittany used a water break and pulled me aside by my ear.'' She smiles slightly as everyone laughs and locks eyes with Brittany. ''You all had to see her face, the second I told her that I can't play like she does, that I am not made to play soccer as a regular.''
She bites her lip and shakes her head. ''I think I had to be glad we were surrounded by so many people, because if I had told her that in our dorm, she surely would have found something to torture me like she always did with Justin Bieber music.''
Brittany just laughs and shrugs. ''You disliked him as much as I did, thank god for earplugs while you suffered.''
''Anyways.'' Amelia continues after shooting her a soft glare. ''Instead of kicking my butt, she just tilted her head and took a deep breath.''
''After contemplating for several minutes.''
''More like calming myself down and telling myself that I need you out there with me.'' Brittany muses, she laughs as she shoots her another glare and raises her hand in surrender keeping the other intertwined with Santana's. ''Hey sue me for wanting to kick your butt for doubting yourself, I still have that feeling now but not only with you also with.'' She nods her head to Press and Emslie and snickers. ''Snake and Dragon.''
''Can you be quiet so I can continue?'' Amelia just asks with an eyebrow raised, Santana laughs softly as Brittany clamps her mouth shut and kisses her cheek.
''Just listen, mi amor.'' She murmurs softly.
''Thank you San.'' Amelia breaths out in relief as Brittany just nods her head with a sheepish grin, she runs her hand through her hair and chuckles. ''Alright, so after contemplating for a few minutes.'' She tries again.
''She just locked eyes with me and told me that.'' She locks eyes with Brittany and smiles lovingly. ''Some people want it to happen, some wish that it would happen and others make it happen.''
''She pointed at the field while keeping our eyes locked and showed me the dedication, fight and trust in her eyes.'' She continues. ''She told me that we both fought hard to reach the team regular and that our first match won't be my last as regular, I had to get my head back in the game and concentrate on the ball and not on everything around us.''
''No more I can't.'' She continues as she locks eyes with Brittany. ''You can and you will, that is what she told me.'' She breaths out. ''I just had to concentrate on her and our team, leave everything happening outside of the field out of it.''
''That talk took maybe five or six minutes, minutes where she just ignored our coach to make sure I would be fine on the field and our coach wasn't happy at all.'' She adds chuckling. ''The second we entered the field again, with her still ignoring our coach, I managed to score twice after she made two beautiful assists.''
She turns back to Brittany and raises an eyebrow. ''What happened during half time?''
Brittany laughs and shrugs. ''I got benched and had to sit for three weeks because I ignored our coach.'' She watches Amelia walk around the table and smiles slightly. ''It was so worth it though because those three weeks, allowed me to watch you find your fight back on the field and kick it to captain.''
Amelia just shakes her head and sighs. ''We both know you would have been captain, if that hadn't happened B.''
''So?'' Brittany asks with an eyebrow raised. ''I still returned back as a regular after those three weeks and under your command we won two out of three competitions.''
''This is just a tiny view on how Britt is as a friend.'' Amelia just breaths out as she places her hands on Brittany's shoulders with a grin. ''She never complained that I took her spot as captain, her decision to ignore our coach caused her to lose the title she surely would have received and just played with us not once doubting the decision she took that day.''
''She did it back then and she still does it now.'' She continues. ''After college I didn't receive a draft because I graduated one year earlier and started my career as referee, one day the little Angels.'' She nods her head down at Nic sitting beside his parent and smiles. ''Had to play against Orlando Pride and I received the call that I had to whistle, I knew Britt was the assistant coach so I texted her knowing one of her old teammates was coach of Pride and warned her to stay fair.''
She looks down at her and chuckles. ''That was the first time in three years that I contacted her again, we both lost contact along the years but the second we started writing again, we picked our friendship back up almost immediately.''
''Thanks to her I now kick butt on the field again with her right by my side.'' She breaths out. ''A three year break, a quite rusty start and many verbal beat downs later, we currently fight hard to keep our position in the first division and enjoy our lives like we always dreamed of.''
''They say that friendship is like paper, once it's crumpled, it will never be the same.'' She continues. ''That is not true.'' She adds as she squeezes Brittany's shoulders. ''After three years we picked our friendship back up and are as crazy as ever and same goes for Britt and Puck, just because we lost contact or got forced to give it up for a while, doesn't mean that the person is forgotten.''
''Good friends would pick it back up and start from the beginning, the best friends continue where they left off.'' She breaths out. ''I thank god everyday for bringing her back in my life and watching her fall deeper and deeper in love with Santana, walk down the aisle to say yes to a life filled with happiness and experience the amazing mommy she is, just the overall happiness permanently shown in her eyes makes me not only grateful to have her back in my life but also that two amazing guardian angels let them together because we.''
She mentions her hand to herself and Puck. ''Have never seen her this happy.'' She turns to Santana and smiles. ''I am so insanely proud and happy to welcome you into our makeshift little family Santana, it's clear how happy you make Brittany and thinking back to how she was during college and how she is now, I notice the huge change but it's a very positive change.''
She leans down and kisses her cheek. ''Along the years you quickly became my best friend too and watching the both of you looking this amazing and happy, will always be my favorite memory.''
''We wish the both of you nothing but a lifetime of love, filled with nothing but happiness, excitement, laughter and family fun!'' She takes her glass Puck holds out for her and lifts it. ''Let's toast on the newlyweds!'' She exclaims stepping back as she feels Britt's chair move.
''Not so fast sis.'' Puck breaths out planting his hand on her shoulder before she can stand up, he locks eyes with her and winks. ''Ames was the person who had to do the speech because we all know I can't talk unless it includes teasing you a lot.'' He smiles as she chuckles and licks his lips.
''Hell I would have never managed to memorize and write my own vows if it wasn't for you sitting down with me and stomping them into my brain.'' He muses, he shoots his wife a loving grin as he hears her laugh above all laughter and locks eyes with Brittany. ''During our wedding four years ago you surprised me with a recording from our childhood and a few days after I remembered I had a few too.''
''I wanted to show them to you but.'' He places his hand on Santana's shoulder and smiles lovingly. ''I knew this day would come, so I held on to them until now.''
''Oh no, which one?'' Brittany whispers as she bites her lip, Puck chuckles and leans down to kiss her temple.
''Just watch.'' He breaths out as he pushes play on the remote control in his hand, he plants both of his hands on her shoulder as the clip starts, showing Brittany and Emily sitting in the middle of the living room back in Ohio.
''Ready sunshine?''
Brittany burst out laughing as she notices her young self peaking around the corner, immediately knowing what is coming and covers her face as she hears Emily's excited voice and her wildly nodding her head. ''Oh no, you recorded that?''
Puck pauses the video and nods his head with a soft chuckle. ''Yeah because it shows what kind of person you are B, even though you embarrassed the hell out of yourself and I did too, you could and still can think quick on the spot to brighten someone's day.''
''I don't know if I love or hate your right now.'' Brittany muses, Puck snickers and kisses her head.
''Watch the video and decide after.'' He breaths out as he pushes play.
Brittany just covers her mouth as the intro to Barbie Girl sounds through and watches herself walk out into the living room wearing a suit, tie and a cardboard with a six pack drawn on it. She covers her mouth, tilting her head back to look at Puck as he walks out wearing a bright pink tutu and laughs as she notices him covering his own face.
''Oh my god.'' She turns to Santana as she hears her laugh and chuckles as she notices her trying to bite her fist to muffle herself as they start dancing crazily on screen, she glances around, noticing their whole family trying to control themselves and tugs Santana closer.
''The best is yet to come.'' She promises the amusement clear in her own voice, she nods her head to the screen as Santana turns to her, the curiosity clear on her face and sucks in her lips as Puck dances out of the room.
She bites her lip as she watches herself jump onto the couch behind Emily, hearing her loud sweet giggles and gulps thickly as tears burn in her eyes the second she sees nothing but happiness and joy in her eyes.
''Oh babe.'' She laughs as she hears Quinn spit out her drink and laugh loudly as Puck drives back into the living room using a pink bobby car decorated with glitter and the balloons under his shirt blown up a bit more to create bigger boobs.
''Dios mio.'' Santana laughs out as she watches her wife acting all macho while still dancing behind Emily and Puck acting like a dumb blonde, Brittany just snickers as she completely loses it the second Puck turns around shaking his ass and shakes her head hearing Emily's happy laughter and squeaks above the loud laughter around them.
She covers Puck's hand on her shoulder with her own as she watches the both of them collapse into fits of laughter as the song ends and squeezes his hand softly. ''You made a bigger idiot out of yourself.'' She breaths out chuckling as she watches Quinn struggling to catch her breath and wipe away her tears of laughter.
''To steal your words.'' Puck breaths out. ''The best is yet to come.'' He murmurs against the back of her head while pointing at the screen watching as he walks out of the room after catching his breath to bring the bobby car back to the neighbors he borrowed it from.
Brittany frowns in confusion and turns to look at the screen, she bites her lip as she watches Emily use all her strength to climb on top of her and smiles lovingly as she hears her soft sweet giggle the second she managed to touch one of the bruises she had that day because of football training.
''You and Noah, are so crazy Blaze.''
''You know we will do everything to cheer you up, sunshine.''
''Did it cheer you up?''
Brittany drops her head with her eyes closed, quickly remembering the conversation and gulps thickly. ''Fuck.'' She whispers softly as she intertwines her hand with Santana's.
Puck hands Nic a dollar bill as he calls him over and nods his head to Brittany silently telling him to crawl in her lap, he watches him do so, declining the money and smiles lovingly as Santana also understands the silent message and scoots closer to hug Brittany close.
''What do you mean Em?''
''Aren't you sad that, that girl you took to the dance a few days ago ignores you now and doesn't want to hang out with you anymore?''
Brittany slowly looks up to focus on the screen and gulps thickly as she watches herself wrap her arms around Emily while shaking her head. ''No, not at all.''
''But why? She made you happy right?''
She smiles sadly as she watches Emily's cute frown and sniffles softly.
''She did for a few weeks yes, but she could never make me as happy as you and Noah do, Sunshine.''She wipes away her tears as she watches her younger self lick her lips knowing she had to think of the right way to explain her dating situation back then and blows out a slow breath as Nicolas and Santana just run their hands up her back to comfort her.
''Dating someone or being in a relationship with someone, is something really intimate and causes happiness Em's.''She intertwines her hands with Santana's on Nicolas's back and watches Emily cutely tilt her head in confusion. ''Noah and I both explained what a physical reaction is right?''
''You mean what you did with the fluid egg whites and air?''
''Exactly, that I whipped them so long until the egg whites formed peaks.''She hears herself agree. ''A relationship is a physical reaction too, if you meet someone, your body, heart and mind feel things and that causes our body to release dopamine and serotonin.''
''The two chemicals that causes you to be happy.''Emily breaths out with a grin.
''That's right.''Brittany whispers as she taps her forehead. ''Good job, Brainiac.''
''Didn't she make you happy?''
''No she didn't, she tried but she didn't understand that I want to be home with you and spend most of my time with Noah too.She was jealous of two people belonging to my family, so that quickly caused me to step back and turn my entire focus back on you and Noah.''
''But Blaze, why was she jealous of our family?''She smiles sadly as she watches Emily snuggle close and leans her chin on Nicolas's head. ''The love between family and a stranger, is different right?''
''It is yes and it takes a while for us to love a stranger, the way she acted quickly showed me that I don't need her in my life.In the end she was a friend but not my date to the dance, Noah was my date and that made her angry.''
''She was angry because our big brother was your date?''She breaths out a tearful chuckle as she watches Emily lean up with a look that should have screamed incredulously, but was just a frown and a cute pout and exhales shakily.
''She was yes and that is why Noah and I came home so early from the dance, we both didn't want to be around her or her sister and rather enjoyed the dance here at home with you.''
''But don't you need a relationship to be happy?''
''Not at all, sure when I am a bit older and maybe not as crazy as I am now, having someone who understands me, loves me and holds me if I need it would be amazing but right now you and Noah are all I need to be happy, Sunshine.''
''I really thought she would be the girl that would be the reason you would wear a white dress, white flowers in your hair and have a ring on your left finger Britty.''Brittany sucks in her lips as she hears several soft chuckles around her, knowing her face on screen screams Are you fucking kidding me and chuckles softly.
''You thought I would marry her?''
''Well yeah, that is what you do if you meet someone you like right?''
''Oh no Sunshine that is only in movies the case, in real life it will take a long while getting to know someone before you can even think about wedding bells and crap.''She glances down at Santana knowing what will follow and pushes back her tears.''A person can have lots of relationships in their life but in my eyes, you have one person that not only enters your life but also settles deep within your heart.''
''That one person, will cause so much happiness that your heart expands and the second you look him or her in the eyes, you just know.''She watches herself pause on screen and licks her lips as she notices the deep breath and furrowed brows knowing she was thinking what to say next.
''If you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you don't feel a zoo filled with butterflies in your tummy.''She smiles lovingly as she hears Emily's soft sweet giggle through the speakers as she watches herself tickle her little sister and slowly runs her thumb over the rings on Santana's left hand. ''You will feel at peace and really calm, it will feel like coming home after a long school day or a long day visiting doctors.What do you feel the second you enter your room after appointments?''
''Happiness and calm.''
''Exactly, you are happy that you are home and you feel safe within these four walls.''She hears herself agree. ''And that is what bumping into your soulmate feels like, it's like walking into your own room and immediately feel at ease.''
''But it might happen with two or more people too right?''
''Yeah it could happen that you feel it around more people but I am quite certain that Noah and I both will only marry once, there is only one person that could put up with our craziness and the fact that we are two peas in a pod.''She sucks in her lips as she hears Puck hum in agreement and locks eyes with Santana.
''There will be only one special woman walking this earth that will cause me to fall so deep in love with her that I will think about marriage, wearing a dress, dance in the middle of many people and say yes to spending my life forever with her.''
''But we are still young, with almost sixteen I am thinking about a lot of things but not about that.''She hears herself continue. ''I think it will happen when I hit the mid twenties…'' Her head snaps up with wide eyes, not remembering uttering that and blinks in surprise. ''Or maybe a bit older, but that will be the perfect age to say yes to forever, dance the night away and enjoy a day filled with love.''
''Oh holy shit.'' Puck breaths out not having seen that last part either. ''You were so on point back then.''
''That sounds amazing.''They both hear Emily gush cutely. ''I am sure I will watch from above and watch you dance with a big smile and see nothing but love Blaze.''
''Em..''
''Don't Em me, we all know I don't have that long Blaze.''They both gulp thickly knowing Emily always talked very adult like whenever they were alone and instinctively grab each others hand to ground themselves not noticing Quinn also walking up to them to comfort Puck.
''But I will enjoy watching you dance with your wife and watch your love grow with each step, your wife will be the most beautiful bride and you will be too Blaze.''Emily continues cutely. ''Maybe a rainbow will color the sky during your dance, maybe I can ask my angel friends to help me paint the sky so you will know that I am there.''
Brittany drops Puck's hand knowing Quinn is right beside him and covers her eyes as tears stream down her cheeks.
''Babe, look.'' Santana just whispers softly as she gently grabs the hand covering her eyes, she points to the screen as Emily cups both of Brittany's cheek, noticing tears well up in bright blue orbs she fell in love with and gulps thickly as she watches the younger version of her wife clench her jaw knowing she is biting back her tears.
Brittany slowly looks at the screen, breathing out a soft sob as she watches Emily lean their foreheads together and clenches and relaxes her jaw trying to push her tears back.
''I sadly won't be there in person Blaze, but I will follow you wherever you go and you know that.''She blows out a shuddering breath, closing her eyes as she imagines Emily's soft touch and gulps thickly. ''The happiness in your blue eyes will be so bright and your wife will love that, your day will be a bit sad but happiness will be so much bigger and that is what is important.''
''Can you promise me something Blaze?''
''What Sunshine?''
''Will you promise me that you will enjoy your wedding day and not be sad all the time?''
''You know I can't promise that now Em.''
''Please promise me that.''She hears Emily plead softly. ''Your wife needs to see that beautiful big smile Blaze, I want to see you happy and Noah does too, so please, smile on your special day?''
Brittany gulps thickly as she watches Emily place her fingers on the corner of her mouths, forcing her to grin and chuckles tearfully. ''See, that smile!''She hears her happy squeak as soon as she starts laughing on screen.
''You are such a clown, Sunshine.''
''Yes, but I am your and Noah's little sister.''She hears her giggle. ''The two of you are the biggest clowns.''
''I agree.'' Santana and Quinn both murmur in unison.
Brittany chokes out a soft snicker and watches herself hug Emily tightly on screen. ''Yeah but we are only acting like the biggest clown around the people we love the most.''
''That we do.''She hears Noah agree, she smiles lovingly as she watches him hug them from behind and grabs his hand again as she feels it on her shoulder.''We love you the most Em's, but I love Blaze too. The both of you are my little sisters and I am proud to have you as my family.''
''We are happy to have you as our big brother Noah.''They both smile sadly as they watch Emily's big smile and sniffle softly as Noah joins them on the couch, Brittany leans her head back against Puck's abs as she feels him step closer and gulps thickly as they both watch Emily snuggle in their arms. ''I love you Blaze, I love you Noah.''
''We love you too Sunshine.''They hear their teenage self murmur. ''To the moon and back Em's.''She hears herself add as they both kiss her head.
She softly taps Nicolas's leg, kissing his head as he slides onto Santana's lap and stands up. She pulls Puck in a bear hug right after Quinn just pulled the chair back and buries her face against his shoulder. ''Thank you.'' She just chokes out as tears fill her voice. ''I love you Noah.''
Puck just cups the back of her neck and kisses the side of her head. ''Anytime sis.'' He murmurs softly. ''Love you too Blaze.'' He adds not noticing the photographer snap a picture of them and their wives watching them with loving smiles.
