''And the Oscar winner of the actor in a leading role is…'' Santana smiles lovingly as she feels her wife and kids grab her hand into their hold and swallows thickly as she watches Jamie Lee Curtis open the envelope.
''Santana Lopez!''
She laughs as her kids pull her up in a group bear hug with loud squeals and closes her eyes as they all congratulate her with big proud smiles, her heart fills with love as she feels her wife's soft lips on her forehead, the soft heartfelt whisper filled with love and pride reaching her ears 'So proud of you Santana' and nods her head as they all tell her to go down.
She jogs down the steps after pecking Brittany's lips, hugging Dionne tightly as she notices her standing at the first row and smiles as she congratulates her. She steps onto the podium hugging Jamie as she hands her the award and takes the offered microphone after thanking her, she turns to the audience after placing her award beside the microphone and just shakes her head.
''Wow.'' She breaths out. ''I don't know what to say but I want to thank everyone for believing in me and for voting, without you I would have never dreamed to stand up here.'' She licks her lips as she looks around and smiles. ''I also want to thank my parents for supporting me with my dreams and making sure I wouldn't be too overwhelmed, same goes for my best friend Quinn and everyone else I count to my group of friends and family.''
''Most of all though.'' She breaths out as she locks eyes with her wife. ''I want to thank my wife because I would have never dreamed of playing the main role in this movie if she hadn't accepted Dionne's call and planned a surprise meeting with her.''
''I can talk hours about how lucky and grateful I am to be able to call her my wife of almost nine years but it would only cause this show to run till midnight.'' She cracks a grin as everyone snickers and looks down at Dionne slowly holding out her hand. ''So instead of holding a speech, Dionne and I decided to sing a song and my four children will join us up here.''
She smiles as her kids stand up easily joining Dionne to help her up on the stage and mentions her hand to them. ''Please give it up for Dionne Warwick and my children Nic, QT, Oli and Ash.''
She smiles as her kids walk over to the instruments after kissing her cheek, hearing the cheers around them and hugs Dionne after taking the microphone one of the stagehands brings over.
She grabs her own microphone as Dionne says hello to the audience and turns to her kids, she nods her head as she hears Dionne announcing the song they will sing and smiles as they immediately start playing their respective instruments and the screen behind them springs to life with pictures of her and Brittany throughout their relationships mostly related to Britt joining her to shows and standing backstage with their children.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
She smiles lovingly as she watches Brittany pinch the bridge of her nose with a loving grin as she easily joins in, her voice perfectly matching Dionne's and walks over to their kids. She easily pulls herself up onto the piano Ashlynn plays and crosses her legs as she hears Dionne's strong voice fill the venue, she picks their twins up as they walk over knowing the loudness around them makes them nervous and rubs their backs as they lean against her sides.
She glances at the screen behind her as she hears the audience coo and smiles as she sees the picture of Brittany standing on set of New Directions, holding both of their twin boys with Nic leaning back against her and turns to her wife as she notices her proud grin on the picture.
''Go to mommy, mi corazóns.'' She whispers as she slides off of the piano, she helps the boys off watching them immediately jog off of the stage after waving shyly and walks over to Dionne easily joining into the last verse of the song.
She hugs Dionne as soon as the song ends, hearing nothing but claps and cheers around them and kisses her cheek. ''I can't thank you enough for giving me this chance Dionne.''
''You deserved this and so much more Santana.'' Dionne replies as they both place their microphones down the second Jamie walks back onto the stage. ''Congratulations.'' She hugs Jamie once again as she praises her speech and follows the teens off of the stage after they hugged Dionne and Jamie.
She jogs up the steps shaking several hands on her way and smiles as she sees the twins sitting on the free chairs beside their mommy, both cuddling into her sides. She shakes her head as QT tries to slide off of her chair, she kisses his head and smiles. ''Stay seated mijo.'' She tells him softly as she drops into Brittany's lap, she chuckles as she grunts in surprise and wraps her arms around her shoulders as she feels her arms wrap around her waist. ''Hi.''
''Hi.'' Brittany murmurs as they lock eyes knowing the teens will distract the twins, she lovingly cups her cheek and tilts her chin up to kiss her softly making sure to keep it quick but still sweet. ''I am so incredibly proud of you Santana.'' She murmurs. ''You deserve this.''
She smiles as she feels Santana's hold tighten around her shoulders, cupping the back of her neck as she just hugs her and nuzzles her nose in dark locks. ''And your speech was beautiful.'' She adds in a soft whisper. ''I loved watching you and our kids up there with Dionne.''
She runs her hand up her back as she just cuddles close knowing she had enough compliments for today and turns to their teens kissing their cheeks after calling them over also complimenting them on their awesome instrumental music, she tightens her hold around Santana's waist as Jamie announces a commercial break and kisses her shoulder as the red light turns off knowing they still have an hour before the show is over and they can head home to enjoy an familia filled evening.
Six hours later
''Dios mio.''
Brittany chuckles softly as she slides up her wife's body leaving kisses on her way and hovers over her with her right hand planted beside her head, she dips down to kiss her softly, her left hand lovingly cupping her cheek and smiles into the kiss as she feels a full body shiver coursing through Santana's body. ''You okay?''
''More than okay.'' Santana replies softly as she wraps her arms around her waist, she nuzzles her nose against her toned shoulder after tugging her down on top of her and sighs contently. ''Even though the whole award thing still feels like a dream.''
''You are not only a Grammy nominee but also a winner love.'' Brittany whispers as she slides off of her, she hugs her close as she turns on her side and kisses the top of her head. ''I am so proud of you.''
''I can't thank you enough for everything you did to support me on this path Britt-Britt.'' Santana murmurs as she wraps her arms around her waist, just enjoying their loving embrace and their body heat.
''You never have to thank me for supporting you San.'' Brittany whispers softly as she slowly rakes her fingers through damp dark locks. ''I absolutely enjoy watching you get the recognition you deserve, you deserve this and so much more baby.''
She turns her head to kiss her temple and lovingly runs her hand up and down her side. ''How does your schedule look the coming month?''
''I didn't take any other offers yet, so free till now and I will keep it like that seeing summer break starts before Nic has to focus on his exams.''
Brittany hums softly and pulls back to look at her with a grin. ''What do you say to a three week long vacation with, one week just the five of us and the following two with Beth, Q, Liv, Abi and Soph?''
''Where to?'' Santana asks curiously.
''Well Liv and I thought that Niagara falls would be a nice vacation for all of us, or we all travel a bit further, spend a week alone somewhere and the other two weeks together in a hotel on the Bahamas.''
''Or we just spend all three weeks in the same hotel but also spend family days and couple days together.'' Santana breaths out. ''No need to book different hotels, we just all take the kids for a couple of trips but also spend time alone as a couple and I am sure you want to spend a day or two with Liv alone too.''
''We can talk to the girls about it.'' Brittany murmurs. ''Do you have something planned for the coming weekend?''
''Not yet but probably now I will.'' Santana muses, Brittany rolls her eyes and laughs.
''Chris will turn 38 next Saturday and she invited us to spend the weekend in Cabo with her Claire and Ethan, just the nine of us.'' Brittany murmurs. ''They will make sure we have enough food and drinks, Chris only asked if I could make a cake and some cocktails as soon as the kids are down.''
''That sounds perfect, any gift ideas?''
''One.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''And she will kill me for that one.''
''What is it?''
''Shoes, Chris is an absolute fan of Nike air max 1 and I wanted to gift her a personalized one.'' Brittany breaths out. ''Will be quite pricey tho because I will gift myself and Claire one too.''
''Personalized how?''
''All with different colors so just our favorite colors and triple danger 1, 2 and 3 on the side.'' Brittany murmurs. ''We all grace the sidelines as coaches now and I know they both will wear it every match like I will, it will just be a thing to show off that our friendship holds even though we barely see each other.''
''That sounds like a perfect birthday and friendship gift.'' Santana breaths out. ''You just gave me the best idea for another gift for her.'' She chuckles as Brittany just raises an eyebrow and pecks her lips. ''I still have that amazing picture of the three of you during the first time you won the championship.'' She breaths out. ''I will ask a canvas painter to copy it so they can hang it up, I will also make one for us we still have a spot beside the door in the family room.''
''That sounds perfect.'' Brittany murmurs as they both sit up to slide a long shirt on in case their kids barge in, she lays back down smiling as Santana immediately cuddles close and kisses her head. ''So Cabo next weekend and the Bahamas with the girls?''
''Yeah and dinner with mami and papi this Thursday, they will leave for their three month long trip to Spain on Friday so we all want to get together beforehand.'' She tilts her head up and raises an eyebrow. ''What about the Angels?''
''Ames will take over coaching the big Angels and Samantha will coach the little ones, Nic will have his last match with the little Angels before summer break and after that I want him to concentrate on graduation after summer break ends.'' Brittany murmurs. ''QT will be excused for his matches for the mini Angels and after summer break he will slowly start training and playing for the little ones.''
''Lots of changes after summer.'' Santana breaths out, Brittany hums in agreement and smiles.
''Hm beginning December we will have two teens in college, a house in the backyard as soon as we offered them that option, QT training and playing for the little angels and Oli kicking ass on screen with you from time to time and kicking ass at school and during recitals.''
''We have four sporty and talented kids.'' Santana whispers as she nuzzles her face against her shoulder. ''I am sure as hell a lucky woman to have you as my wife and to have four amazing kids.''
''I am the lucky one Santana.'' Brittany murmurs as she nuzzles her nose in dark locks. ''I went from having no one in life to having the best life I could have dreamed off, I have four awesome kids with a very bright future and an amazing wife who is storming the ladder of fame continues making a name for herself and I couldn't be prouder.''
''I love you Brittany Lopez.'' Santana whispers as she cups the back of her neck, she leans their foreheads together smiling as sparkling blue orbs lock on her own and lovingly nuzzles their noses together. ''Always have and always will.''
''And I love you Santana Lopez.'' Brittany replies sweetly as she pecks her lips, she smiles as Santana dips her head down to kiss her deeply and easily flips them over bracing her hand beside her head.
She slowly pulls back as she feels warm hands slide up her back and bites her lip as her eyes lock on quickly darkening brown orbs, she smiles slightly as Santana just raises an eyebrow understanding her silent question and dips down to kiss her deeply silently replying to her unspoken question.
She leans up as she feels her hands run up her back under the shirt she wears, easily pulling it over her head after leaning up on her knees and bites her lip as Santana just whips her own shirt over her head. She hovers back over her, humming into the kiss as she feels blunt nails scratch down her back and tilts her head to deepen the kiss knowing they won't sleep anytime soon.
