I hope you all enjoy. Don't forget to review. :)
Song: Speechless by Dan & Shay.
TW: SA
The group remained still as they looked toward the blinding white light, realizing that Santana was right. Everyone's faces began to feel relieved and started to light up at the idea that they were finally saved. No more anxiety. No more worries. No more fear.
"Well why the hell are we still standing out here for, come on!" Daryl says as he runs in the building while others follow him.
Everyone had started moving inside the building but Santana. She hadn't moved, her body remained still. Hadn't even moved an inch, however there were tears running down her face.
Quinn, who was already inside the building, felt something missing and started looking around. Quinn looks back outside and sees Santana motionless. Quinn runs over to her Latina and gently caresses her face, while wiping the Latina's tears with her thumb and redirecting her eyes.
"You did it love! We're safe now. Come on, let's go inside."
"We're safe?" Santana asks quietly, looking down deeply at the hazel eyes that she always loved.
"Yes, mi amor. We're safe." Quinn quietly says knowing that Latina feels comfort when she speaks Spanish. Quinn then goes on her tippy toes to kiss the brunette's forehead, then grabs her hand and leads her inside with the others.
As the rest of the group looked around the C.D.C, they saw how huge the building was. It had so many huge windows and fancy marble flooring. Along with stairs and elevators leading up to numerous floors. They had hit the jackpot.
"T-Dog, watch the door." Santana directs, as she starts finding her voice again. She starts to move up to the front of the group to find whoever had opened the door. "Hello?! Anyone?"
The sound of a shotgun clicking startles Santana, making her pull out her pistol in the direction of the sound.
A man, dressed in a lab coat, slowly appeared from a distance holding a shotgun slightly aiming it towards Santana.
"Anyone infected?!" The man shouts
"One of our people was…h-he didn't make it." Santana replies.
"What do you want? Why are you here?" the man asks, still having his finger on the trigger.
"A chance."
"That's asking a lot these days." the man says lowering his gun, "You all have to submit a blood test, in order to enter-"
"We can do that." Santana says cutting him off and puts her pistol down.
"If you have anything else outside, go get it because once these doors close, they can't be opened anymore." the man says as Finn and Glenn both nod and go out to retrieve a couple more things from the cars.
Santana slowly walks up towards the man and extends her hand to him.
"Santana Lopez."
"Dr. Edwin Jenner." the man says as he shakes her hand.
Dr. Jenner had taken the group to an underground laboratory filled with workspaces containing rows of computers, whiteboards, chemicals, microscopes, you name it. He had started setting up and had asked everyone to line up as he proceeded to blood test them.
"I don't get why you are doing this." Tina speaks up as she is next in line, "If we were infected, wouldn't you be able to see the fever that we would be running."
"Well, with this pandemic, I think anything is possible. You could have a fever, you could not, we just don't know yet." Dr. Jenner replies as he proceeds to take a sample of blood from Tina.
As soon as Tina stood up, she felt extremely dizzy and stumbled down on the floor. Mike ran to the rescue and asked if she was okay, leaving Dr. Jenner worried about the young women's condition.
"I'm okay, Mike. I just lost my balance."
"She hasn't eaten in a while. Actually none of us have." Mike says, looking at Jenner, who looked at everyone, especially the kids who were in the back playing with the microscopes.
"Follow me then. We can continue this later." Jenner says as he leads Santana and the group to a cafeteria and kitchen. "Help yourselves," Jenner says as he excuses himself. Once Jenner had left the area, the group looked at each other in awe, as Glenn, Daryl, and T-Dog started running towards the pantry to see what they had in stock.
Santana looked around at all the smiles and laughs of everyone and couldn't believe it. She had given this group hope. Hope that they no longer have to be hungry, worried, or in any more danger, ever again. They were finally all safe.
She turned to Quinn and kissed her passionately. Her soft lips against her blonde's. They had stayed in that position, until Santana broke the kiss and looked at a confused Quinn. Santana just stared into Quinn's eyes, then pulled Quinn into a heartfelt hug that lasted a while.
Lucas, however, was not happy that he was left out. He had walked over to his mommies and stood in front of them with both his arms to his side displaying a frustrated look that resembled the Latina perfectly.
"What about me?" he says, now extending his arms in the air, signaling to Santana that she was supposed to pick him up. Santana and Quinn started laughing as Santana eventually gave in and picked him up, while placing many kisses on the top of his head.
After having prepared different meals for everyone to have a second meal, Quinn, Kurt, Rachel, and Santana finally began to eat. Quinn and Kurt had made a classic, fettuccine alfredo, with some garlic bread made by Rachel, while Santana made her family's traditional Enchiladas. As everyone was about to dig in, Santana quickly excused herself as she forgot to bring out something and walked back to the kitchen. When she returned she set down a small plate of chopped bacon bits next to Quinn for her pasta and gave her a small kiss on her head.
"WHATTT! WHERE WAS THIS?!" Quinn shouted excitedly and dumped the bowl on her plate and began eating rapidly, releasing a few moans and 'this is soooo gooood' that caught Santana's attention. And Puck's.
"Anything for you darling." Santana laughs.
"You guys won't believe what I found." Finn says as he walks back to the dinner table, earning confused looks from the group. "DRINKS!"
"Choice is yours." Finn lifts up a bottle of wine and a case of beer, as the group starts to cheer. Drinks started to be shared among the group, besides the kids who had a glass of juice instead.
"You know, in Italy and France, children have a little taste of wine." Dale says as he prepares a cup for Lucas and Ella, but is stopped by Quinn.
"Well, if Lucas is in Italy or France, he can have a little then."
"Momma, can I try please?" Lucas asks as he shows his puppy eyes, a technique that Santana taught him to only use against Quinn.
"Me too. Can I try Papa? Ella asks Blaine, who is hesitant.
"I don't think you are gonna like it sweetheart." Quinn warns him.
"What's it gonna hurt? Come on my love. Have him try a bit. You know, I had my first glass of beer much younger than him." Santana says smirking as she takes another sip of her beer.
"Okay. Okay. Give it to him Dale."
Dale sets down two shot glasses of wine, one for Lucas and Ella. Everyone had stopped eating and started watching the two.
Lucas and Ella both looked at each other as they took their first ever sip of wine together. And in an instant, 'ew's were released.
"That's nasty." Lucas says as he and Ella stick their tongue out and start shaking their heads to get the taste out.
"I know, baby. I know." Quinn says laughing as she pats his back and dumps his cup into hers.
"You better stick to your orange juice there bud." Puck says as he opens another bottle of beer.
From a distance, Santana looked over to Dr. Jenner, who had been sitting alone, and proceeded to make a toast.
"It seems we haven't thanked our host properly." Santana says
"He is more than just our host." T-Dog says as he takes another sip of his beer.
"Cheers!" the group says, but Santana quietly mouths the word 'thank you'.
"So when the hell are you going to tell what happened here doc? All the other doctors who were supposed to be here figuring out what happened. Where are they?" Puck says looking at his drink.
"We're celebrating Puck. We don't have to do this now." Finn says as he looks over to Dr. Jenner with an apologizing look.
"Ohh wait a second. This is why we are here, ain't it. This was her move." Puck says as he points over to Santana. "To find all the answers. But instead, we found him."
"Well, when things got bad, many fled to be with their families. And when things got worse, when the military got overrun, people lost hope. Many had opted out. Ending their lives. It was a tragic time."
"You didn't leave. Why?" Rachel asks
"I just kept working," he shrugs, "I hoped to do some good, maybe find a step to solve all this." Jenner replied as he looked down at his drink.
"Dude. You are such a buzzkill." Glenn says looking at Puck
After a quiet dinner, Dr. Jenner led the group to the C.D.C. 's housing area.
"Most of the facility has been powered down besides the housing unit underground, so you'll have to make do here. There's a rec room down the hall that you kids might enjoy. But, just don't plug in the video games, okay?" Jenner states as he turns around to face the group once more. "There's a gym, kitchen, and cinema, but then again please don't plug in anything that draws power. The same applies..if you shower, go easy on the hot water. Well, I think that's all. I hope you all enjoy your night. See you in the morning." Jenner excuses himself and heads back upstairs to his lab.
"Hot water?" Glenn says as a smile begins to creep in.
"That's what the man said." T-Dog laughs and starts running to the nearest shower.
Once Santana and Quinn chose their room, Santana decided to stay back while Quinn helped Lucas for his bath time and filled the bathtub with lots of bubbles, just the way he liked it.
"Alrighty, sweet boy, you think you can take a bath by yourself? Or do you want me to stay for a bit?" Quinn says as she sees her son shake his head yes.
"Okay then, sweetheart. Let's shampoo that curly hair of yours."
A few minutes later…
"Okay Louie, let that hair dry for a bit before you go to bed, okay?" Lucas nods, "Go over to Mami so she can give you some PJs. Momma is going to shower next, okay?"
"Okay momma. Can I go play with Ella?"
"Sure baby, but go get dressed." Quinn says as Lucas, who ran in a towel over to his parents room and knocked on the door.
"Hey buddy, let's put some clothes on you." Santana says as she grabs his pajamas, "Where's your momma?"
"Momma is in the bathroom. Can I go play with Ella until my hair dries?"
"Sure kiddo, I think Uncle Blaine said she'll be in the rec room."
After Santana had taken Lucas to the rec room, where he reunited with Ella, she asked if Blaine could make sure they went to their room they were sharing, at a reasonable time. And with that, Santana was off to find Quinn.
After making her way to their bathroom, Santana quietly entered and instantly heard humming. The humming drew similarity to the same song that Santana sang to Quinn when she proposed to her.
Flashback
"I don't think this will work, Brittany. What if she gets freaked out? What if she realizes she never really loved me? What if-"
"Sanny, you are being ridiculous. Quinn loves you and I'm 1000% sure she will say yes if you do this. Trust me, I'm a genius."
"I hope so, Britt. Do you think she's already here?" Santana says as she starts tensing up.
"I'm not sure, let me call Kurt." Brittany says as she pulls out her phone and walks off the stage.
Santana was then standing alone with a million thoughts running through her head. But they all faded once Mike approached her.
"Hey San, she's here. It's go time. Good Luck!"
"Thanks Mike, but I don't need it." Santana says as a smirk appears when she signals him to lift the curtain.
Once the curtain was lifted, Santana looked directly at Quinn, who sat next to all their friends, in the same auditorium that they would perform in everyday. Santana smiled at her "girlfriend" for the last time and began strumming her guitar.
You say you'll be down in five
The smell of your perfume,
Is floating' down the stairs
You're fixin' up your hair like you do,
I know that I'll be a mess,
The second that I see you
You won't be surprised
It happens every time, It's nothin' new
It's always on a night like tonight
I thank God you can read my mind
'Cause when you look at me with those eyes
I'm speechless
Starin' at you, standin' there, in that dress
What it's doin' to me, ain't a secret
'Cause watchin' you is all that I can do
And I'm speechless
You already know that you're my weakness
After all this time I'm just as nervous
Every time you walk into the room
I'm speechless
"Why was I so nervous before?" Santana thought, "This song was the perfect choice. I have to thank Brit for choosing it. Gosh, she really is a genius." Santana flashed a small smile when she saw Quinn with tears in her eyes, smiling back.
You already know that you're my weakness
After all this time I'm just as nervous
Every time you walk into the room
I'm speechless
Oh, you know it baby
Once Santana had finished the last verse, she received numerous applauds, as she gently set the guitar down on the stand. Quinn, however, stood up and made her way on to the stage to hug Santana.
"Tana, that was beautiful. Thank you. You have no idea how much I love you."
"I love you too Quinn. There's no way I can express it all, other than this-" Santana says as she gets down on one knee and pulls out a small box. "Lucy Quinn Fabray, from the first time I met you, I knew you were the one. The one I could spend the rest of my life with. The one I will always love until the very end. You have been my best friend, my girlfriend, and now, I ask for you to be my fiance. So Lucy Quinn Fabray, will you marry me?"
End of flashback
"You already know that you're my weakness" Santana slowly sang, "After all this time I'm just as nervous.."
"Everytime you walk into the room-" Quinn sang back softly
"I'm speechless." The two then finished off.
"Come in, Tana, the water feels amazing." Quinn giggles
"I'm still surprised you remembered the song." Santana says as she starts to take off her clothes and joins Quinn.
"Of course I do! It's the song my lovely wife proposed to me with."
"Lovely wife? Come on babe, "lovely" is killing my street cred. You know, there's other ways to describe me." Santana says as she places kisses on her wife's shoulders. "Sexy, maybe?," she says whispering in her ear.
"Yes sweet love, you are extremely sexy." Quinn says as she throws her head back offering Santana more access to her neck. Santana happily accepts and moves in closer to Quinn's body, leaving no space in between them. Quinn had started to feel something familiar touch her from below and started to slowly sway her hips to create friction. Quinn then turned to face Santana and looked straight into her eyes.
"Take me."
"Yes darling." Santana nods as she passionately kisses Quinn against the wall, refusing to break the kiss. Santana then roams her hands on Quinn's body, first touching her hips, then traveling farther south. Santana then picks up Quinn and runs her hardened member along Quinn's entrance, getting her ready.
"Go nice and slow, love. Please." Quinn whispers to Santana.
"Of course mi amor." Santana says as she fully enters.
After having one of the best shower sex in her life, Santana tells Quinn that she will join her in bed after she personally thanks Jenner for everything.
"Okay, but come quick Tana." Quinn says as she sees a smirk appear from Santana's face.
"I'll try."
As Santana makes her way to talk to Jenner, she decides to pick up two beers for the both of them. Once she arrived, Santana saw that Jenner had been analyzing the bloodwork he had recently taken from her group.
"Hey doc, anything we need to be worried about?"
"Not from what I see, so that's good." Jenner says as he realigns his focus to Santana, "How can I help you?"
"I just came by to say thank you." Santana says as she takes a drink, while offering the other to Dr. Jenner who declines.
"You did?.."
"You have no idea what it's like. You don't know what it's like out there. You may think you do, but you don't." Santana says as she takes a seat across from him. "We would've died out there. It was only a matter of time…there's just too many of those damn things."
"My boy, m-my wife..I never told them what I really thought. I never hinted anything. I just kept it in..kept us moving, you know, I just kept it in. I had woken from a coma, woken to this. To the fucking population dead. To humanity gone. I just..I don't know-" Santana voice breaks as she just crying.
"It will all be okay. You will be okay." Jenner reassures.
"Tana?" Quinn says, turning to face the shadow who had opened her door, "I swear, everytime you drink, you get hornier by the second." Quinn laughs, "Come lay with me Tana."
The shadow proceeds to take off their shoes, shirt, and pants to join Quinn in bed. The shadow then plays the role of the big spoon inching closer and closer to Quinn, while finally wrapping their arms around the blonde. Quinn turns her head around to face the shadow, once she feels something poke her from below.
"Tana!" Quinn laughs as she nears in for a kiss, but stops once she smells the excessive alcohol, "Nope, no more sex until you sober up, okay?" However, the shadow doesn't obey and starts to claim dominance over Quinn by moving on top and pinning her down. The smell of alcohol started becoming stronger and stronger, until Quinn could taste it as the person above roughly kissed her.
"This isn't-." Quinn thought, now starting to panic.
A screech, that soon turned into a cry for help, was released by the blonde below.
"Puck?! What the hell are you doing?"
"I want you." Puck grins as he stares down Quinn with lust in his eyes.
"Stop it! Get off of me." Quinn cries as she tries to push Puck off of her, but fails due to Puck's military strength and experience. "Please, stop! Don't do this Puck! Please!" Quinn's voice breaks.
"It'll be over soon, gorgeous. Just hush up. I know you want this." Puck says as he moves one of his hands to cover her mouth, while the other begins to travel down south. "Man, Quinn, is this what I do to you? You naughty, naughty girl. See. I knew you loved me more than her. You always have." Puck then proceeds to remove the last piece of his clothing and gets closer and closer to Quinn.
Quinn starts to dig her nails deep into Puck's back and deeply scratches him, drawing blood. Puck pulls out as he yells out in agony. He looks down at his position and realizes what he has done. He looks over to a terrified and trembling Quinn who had moved to the corner of the bed and covered herself in the sheets.
"Quinn, I-I d-don't know- I don't know what to say… I'm so so sorry. I'm drunk..I didn't mean-." Puck says as he sits next to her and attempts to apologize to Quinn. He tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, knowing that it calms the blonde down, but instead leaves her furious.
Quinn grabs at Puck's neck and pulls back, ultimately scratching him. "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" she yells out as Puck quickly puts on his boxers and shirt and exits her room.
After an hour, Santana returns back to the housing unit and quickly checks in on Lucas and Ella. Santana goes over to Lucas and kisses him on the head.
"I love you so so much baby boy." Santana whispers, as she moves the hair from his face, "Sweet dreams, Cariño."
Santana slowly and quietly closes their door and makes her way over to Quinn, but stumbles into a few walls along the way. Santana slowly opens the door and quickly turns on the lamp to see if Quinn was asleep too, which she was.
Santana unbuckles her belt and slowly takes off her pants to avoid waking her blonde up. She is then left in a white shirt and boxers and calls it a night, turning off the lamp and hopping in the bed.
"I love you so much, mi amor. We're safe now, you, me, and Lucas, I'll make sure of it. I promise. Goodnight my love." Santana mumbles quietly to her "sleeping" wife, while slowly putting an arm around her and falls asleep.
As soon as Quinn felt the same set of arms that she was once comfortable in, Quinn tenses up. An action she had never done before. She loved the physical touch of her lover, she always craved it, she felt safe under Santana's touch. But not anymore.
What were your guy's thoughts? Don't forget to review, it helps a bunch. I hope you guys have an amazing day. Much love! :)
