Sorry for taking so long to update this story. I've been lazy about typing chapters. I'll try not to take as long for the next one.
"I'll see you tomorrow at the wedding." Santana says giving Brittany a kiss.
"Be careful and don't do anything stupid." Brittany says.
"I promise you be careful too." Santana says.
"We'll be just in the hotel suite." Brittany says giving her one last kiss. "Be safe."
There's a bunch of honking out front as the guys have arrived to take Santana.
"I love you." Brittany says waving as Santana leaves.
Santana doesn't want to leave her but her brothers have insisted on throwing her a "bachelorette" party.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Santana shouts coming out as the honking hasn't stopped.
"Hurry up!" José shouts at her.
"Shut up!" Santana says getting in the car. "So, where are we going?"
"You'll find out when we get there." Antonio says.
"Come on, tell me." Santana says looking at the weakest link her brother-in-law, Sterling.
"I swore to your dad I wouldn't say." Sterling says holding her hands up.
"We'll be there shortly." Mario says.
"You're going to love this." Diego says smirking.
"Great, what have you all planned." Santana grumbles.
Aside from her brothers, brother-in-law and dad, there are few other male relatives with them. Amelia who often joins the "men" decided she would stay with her wife on this one. Santana wishes she could have stayed too.
They pull up to their stop.
"Really?" Santana groans as they're parked outside a higher end strip club. "Britt's going to kill me."
"No, she won't," Antonio says as they all get out.
"All we're doing is looking, not touching." Diego says.
"Speak for yourself." one of her unmarried cousins says.
All the married men shake their heads.
Heading in, Mario leads them over to a VIP section.
"This is your last night of making your own decisions." Mario says. "Enjoy yourself, just not too much."
"I will," Santana says.
"First round is on me." Diego says.
A couple of the strippers head their way. Santana gulps, nervous still that Brittany is going to be pissed. She gulps down her drink, needing the courage to not bolt.
"Ladies, pay extra attention to our bachelorette, it's her last night of freedom." José says.
"We'll put on an extra good show for you." the blonde one says swaying her hips as she walks to Santana.
She gulps, thinking this is going to be a long night unless she gets her drink on.

"Brittany!" Christina shouts arriving first with several bottles of expensive vodka. "Are you ready to party?"
"You do remember that I'm pregnant, right?" Brittany says.
"Of course, that's why the rest of us are going to get drunk for you." Christina says.
The rest of the women arrive not long after. In addition to the Lopez women, four of Brittany's colleagues are also here. They quickly make friends with the Lopezs.
"Are you excited? Tonight, is your last night as a free woman. I know I was nervous and excited." Asia says.
"Honestly, I'm just excited." Brittany says rubbing her small bump.
"So, I know normally we'd get some strippers." Amelia says having taken control of planning the party. "But knowing my younger sister, thought it wise to not have her trying to murder someone on her wedding day."
Everyone even Brittany's co-workers, laugh at this. They all know that Santana is a very jealous person. No good would come from strippers being here.
"Instead, I thought we'd drink, dance and play a few games." Amelia says.
"If I'm going to play any games, I'm going to need a few more drinks in me." Maria says.
They break apart into smaller groups, chatting and drinking. Dawn turns on some music. Brittany is talking to Amelia and Louise.
"How are you doing?" Louise asks nodding to her belly.
"Okay, a little moody sometimes." Brittany says. "I do wish I could drink right now."
"That's one reason I'm glad we adopted." Amelia says.
"Do either of you wish or think about giving birth?" Brittany asks her.
"No," Amelia says.
"Sometimes, but I love the twins." Louise says.
Cross the room, Christina, Dawn, Katherine and two of Brittany's co-workers are having a drinking competition. Slowly, they are getting drunk.
"I say we switch to beer pong." the taller of Brittany's co-workers says.
"I'll ref the first round." Christina slurs.
Maria and Asia are talking to the other two co-workers of Brittany.
"So, how do you two know Brittany?" Maria asks.
"We work with her." the brunette says.
"What exactly do you do?" Asia asks.
"Well, I teach with her." the brunette says.
"And I've worked on several projects with her." the other one says.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The strippers are dancing and stripping practically in Santana's lap and all she can think about is how much better Brittany would be at this. Now she wants Brittany here, stripping for her. She takes another long swig of her beer.
"Relax honey," Mario says. "You're not doing anything wrong." he tells her. "Only looking, no touching."
"Brittany would be so much better." Santana weeps.
"And there is our weepy drunk." Diego says laughing at his sister.
"Another round!" Antonio shouts to their server.
"Really bro," José says, surprising everyone that he's being responsible.
"Since we can't enjoy strippers like most men do, we need to get wasted. This is the last wedding for a while." Antonio reminds them.
All the men nod, none are willing to do something to piss off their wives. Or Maria. She scares them all, especially her husband.
"To the last wedding!" Mario shouts raising his glass.
"To the last wedding!"
At this point they are all drunk and have lost the single relatives.
"You're the bride to be." a stripper says approaching Santana. "One last dance before you're married."
"You're pretty." Santana says hiccupping. "You look like Brittany." she says momentarily thinking maybe this is Brittany.
"San," Sterling says falling next to her. He turns to the stripper. "Her wife to be is way prettier than you."
"I want Brittany!" Santana ugly cries.
00000000000000000000000000000000000
"My daughter is so lucky to have you." Maria slurs, flopping down next to Brittany.
Brittany just smiles, rubbing her baby bump. Even though she can't drink, she's having fun watching everyone else get drunk. It's really funny to see her soon to be mother-in-law drunk with everyone else.
"San is damn lucky." Christina says taking a swig of her beer.
Cross the room the rest of the group is enthralled in a drunk beer pong game between Asia and Amelia. Both women are so drunk that they can barely bounce the ping pong to the cups.
"I think it's time for everyone to go to sleep." Brittany says turning to see Maria already zonked out.
"I'll get the rest of them to bed." Christina says not as drunk anymore as she had cut back about an hour ago and ate some carbs.
"I don't want you to leave you alone with them." Brittany says nodding to the rest of the drunkers.
"I'll be fine, you need your beauty sleep tonight." Christina says. "You did have fun right?"
"Yeah, I did." Brittany says giving Christina a hug. "Thanks."

Santana's head is pounding as she opens one eye. She doesn't see anything as her hair is in her way. Whatever she's sleeping on is hard. She doesn't remember much of last night after thinking that Brittany would have been better.
"What the hell happened?" Santana drowsily says not getting up as her head still hurts.
"We're still at the strip joint." José says having been up for a few minutes.
"Britt's going to kill me." Santana shouts sitting up fast, only to have her head start throbbing.
"Fuck, you're mami's going to kill us all." Mario groans.
Santana's yelling has woken up the whole group.
"Don't worry," a stripper, fully dressed says coming from backstage.
"Our wives will kill us." Antonio says wide eyed.
"One, you didn't do anything wrong. None of you married or going to be married "men" even touched us. Two, your wives paid the owner to let you sleep here." the stripper tells them.
"Shit, they're good." Diego says.
"Shouldn't you all be heading out, the wedding's only a few hours away." the stripper says.
"How would you?" Santana groans, sobering up some since she is getting married in a few hours.
"I'm friends with Brittany, the women you were crying about half the night." the stripper says.
"Oh," Santana says.
"She asked me to make sure you didn't drive home drunk or try to go see her. She wasn't worried about you being around strippers at all. She mentioned that you are super loyal." the stripper reassures her.
"Honey, we need to go. Everyone needs to get dressed and ready for the wedding." Mario says.
With that they all start getting up.
"Come on Sterling," Antonio says. "We need to go."
"Five more minutes." Sterling says not wanting to get up.
"Do you want me to tell your wife that we're late to the wedding because of you?" Diego asks.
"Fuck no," Sterling says jumping up.
"Hurry up!" Santana says having sobered up at the thought of marrying Brittany in only a few hours.
"Calm down, we still have time." José says.
"I have a lot to do, everyone in the cars now!" Santana orders.
Santana's insistent gets everyone moving. Less than five minutes later they are driving back to the Lopez house where they'll all be getting ready.
"Are you ready?" Antonio asks hanging back with Santana as everyone rushes to take a shower.
"Wait if she doesn't show up?" Santana nervously says.
"San," Antonio says.
"I know, I know, but I'm still nervous." Santana says before he can continue.
"That's normal, just remember that she loves you and I'm sure she's ready to marry you." Antonio says.
"Thanks Antonio," Santana says giving him a hug.
The pair heads into the shower before changing, Santana scrubs herself a little extra to make sure to get any smell from the strip club off of her. Brittany deserves her to be at her best on this day. It takes her a half hour to blow dry her hair and comb it out. She's just putting on her red and black suit when there's a knock on the door.
"Come in," Santana says.
Mario pushes the door open, walking in.
"Hi honey," Mario says.
"Dad," Santana says.
"Before your mom, Brittany and the rest of the bridal party arrives, I wanted to talk to you." Mario says.
The women are getting ready at the hotel and will kick the guys out once they arrive to finish getting ready about thirty minutes before the wedding.
"Thanks for walking Brittany down the aisle." Santana says.
"I'm happy to," Mario says. "You know I already see Brittany as part of the family. But I came in here to give you some advice."
"Okay," Santana says paying complete attention to him.
"I know that you'll treat Brittany like a queen and be an amazing mom to your unborn daughter. But I wanted to give you some advice of being a great partner to your wife. Just a few things I've learned over the years being married to your mami." Mario says.
"I could use it, Britt confuses me some times and I don't want to upset her." Santana says.
"You will upset her sometimes. But what you do when this happens is important. One, never go to bed angry. Work it out before. Two, she's always right. The sooner you realize this, the easier your life with be. And third, know when to fight her on being right yourself." Mario tells her.
"Thanks dad," Santana says giving him a hug.
"Just know you can come to me with any questions. I know that I'm harder on you, being my number two, but this has nothing to do with work. This is family." Mario says.
"I know," Santana says smiling.
"Good, now I'm going to go wait for your bride. Get everyone out to their places. Guests will be arriving any minute." Mario says.
"Yes sir," Santana jokingly saults.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Ladies!" Maria shouts waking them all up. "Two hours till the big day!" she says.
This wakes the whole group up.
"Mami, two hours is barely enough time." Christian says jumping up.
"It's plenty of time. The men are getting ready now and we'll head to the house in a half hour." Maria says shaking her head.
"Britt," Asia says shaking her awake. "You're getting married today."
"I know, I can't wait to be married to San." Brittany says rubbing her baby bump.
"Of course, you're not nervous." Amelia says. "I was a nervous wreck before my wedding."
As "I thought it was cute honey." Lousie says. "Come one Britt, let's get you ready."
"You all have to get ready yourselves, I'll help Brittany." Maria says.
Maria walks Brittany into the bathroom. All the other women are scrambling around. All of Santana's siblings and their significant others are in the wedding. Her co-workers left to go get ready at their places.
"How are you doing?" Maria asks starting on her hair.
"I'm excited, so is our little one. I can feel flutters." Brittany says all smiles.
"I wasn't nervous before I married Mario either." Maria says.
"I'm just ready to marry her." Brittany says.
"First, we have to get you ready." Maria says.
Forty minutes later, Maria has Brittany's makeup and hair done.
"You look great." Dawn says.
"Just wait till you see her in her dress." Asia says fully dressed.
Asia is the only other one who has seen her dress. Brittany wanted to surprise everyone so she only wanted Asia to go shopping with her. Maria had fought it until Mario convinced her that Brittany deserved this.
"That will have to until we get to the house." Maria says. "Louise, check to see if the guys are done."
"They are, Mario is clearing them out now." Louise says.
"Okay, let's go, make sure to not ruin your dresses." Maria says.
"The nanny has the kids ready." Dawn says.
"Great, everything is going smoothly." Maria says ushering everyone out.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Mario knocks on the door, waiting to hear the okay.
"Where's Brittany?" he asks his wife.
"Her and Asia are getting her dress on." Maria says. "None of us have seen it."
Just then Asia opens the door, moving aside as Brittany walks out.
"Oh my,"
"You're so beautiful."
"Amazing,"
Maria ushers the women out, they need to get to their places. "You are gorgeous." she says to Brittany. "Take care of her." she says to her husband.
"I will, go get everyone in their places." Mario says waiting until the door is closed before focusing on Brittany. "You look amazing."
"Thanks," Brittany says still a little nervous to be around him.
"I hope you know how happy I am that you're joining the family." Mario says surprising Brittany. "You've really settled Santana, the same way Maria did for me. I can see how good you are for her. Just know that whatever you need, we'll help you. You are family and I protect my family."
"I appreciate that. Thank you for walking me down the aisle." Brittany says.
"I'm honored to, just hold on to me tightly, I won't let you fall." Mario says as they head to the backdoor.
"Good, I just know that my knees will go weak when I see San." Brittany says.
She's feeling much more confident around him now.
"No nerves?" Mario asks.
This is the most that he's talked with her alone.
"Nope, I'm so ready to marry San." Brittany says.
Mario smiles, his daughter got damn lucky finding this woman. He holds out his arm for her to take a hold of.
At the altar, Santana is impatiently waiting for the wedding to start. She can't wait to see Brittany and be married.
"Don't wrinkle your shirt." Maria says heading to her seat.
"Why are you out here? I thought you were staying with Britt too." Santana says suddenly nervous.
She knows that her dad still makes Brittany nervous.
"I came out to make sure everyone is ready for the wedding." Maria says. "Your dad has everything handled with bringing Brittany down. He is walking her down the aisle."
"Britt is still nervous around dad." Santana says.
"She'll be fine, your dad loves her the most as she reminds him of me." Maria says.
Before Santana can say anything, the music starts. Santana straightens up and looks down the aisle. Her breath catches when she sees Brittany. She looks drop dead gorgeous in her simple wife dress. It shows off the blonde's baby bump which to her makes her even more gorgeous. She stares at Brittany as she walks down the aisle towards her.
Brittany stares at Santana as Mario leads her down the aisle. She doesn't notice anything but Santana.
"Take good care of her." Mario says to his daughter.
"I will," Santana promises. "You look breathtaking." she says to Brittany taking her hands.
"Thanks," Brittany says blushing. "You look dashing."
"If you're ready, let's get married." Santana whispers.
"More than ready." Brittany says.
They turn to the priest and the wedding starts. Both women are impatient as the priest speaks. They just want to be married. He speaks nearly fifteen minutes before saying.
"They've decided to write their own vows."
"San," Brittany says having decided to go first. "When we met, I never imaged that we'd be standing here less than a year later getting married. I couldn't be happier though. You are the best thing to happen to me. I can't wait to have our baby. I know you'll be a great mom. You're a great partner, always protecting me. I love how protective you are and that your close to your family. Simply put you are the best. I can't wait to be your wife."
Maria is sniffling in the first row. Santana is staring lovingly at her. She loved hearing all those amazing words.
"Britt Britt, I love you. You are the love of my life. I would do anything for you and our baby. The best day of my life was finding out you're pregnant and you saying yes to marrying me. Though today will probably beat it out." her family chuckles at this. "I love how sweet and caring you are. That you could careless about my anatomy and what I do. Simply put you are the best person I've ever met. I'm so happy to be marrying you." Santana finishes.
"Lovely vows, now let's get you married." the priest says.
"Finally," Santana whispers.
"Do you Santana Marie Lopez, take Brittany Pierce to be your wife? To love and cherish until the day you die?"
"I do," Santana says, putting the ring on Brittany's finger.
"Do you Brittany Susan Pierce, take Santana Lopez to be your wife? To love and cherish until the day you die?"
"Heck yes," Brittany says causing everyone to chuckle and puts a ring on Santana's hand.
Both women are itching to kiss.
"I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may-"
Before he can finish the sentence, Santana dips Brittany kissing her.
"You're mine now forever." Santana whispers.
"And you're mine." Brittany says wrapping her arms around Santana's neck.
"Always," Santana says.
"Ladies! We're hungry!" Dawn loudly says.
Brittany blushes and Santana growls but turns to face all their guests.
"It's my honor to present for the first time, Santana and Brittany."
