She's seen and done things that her family, friends and soulmate wouldn't want to go through. She was doing this to for her country but it's very doing this every day of her life.

She's just so glad to be on leave for awhile. Everybody in her unit told her that she was crazy for being married and was surprised that her wife hasn't divorced her yet. Santana just told them her relationship is stronger then ever and they talked about how hard it would be when they decided to get married. Even if she's been married for a few years she still stayed in the barracks to get the full experience of what it's like to be in the Marines.

It was their Junior year of high school in Lima Ohio and Rachel just got dumped by her boyfriend Finn Hudson who never treated her right a week before that.

Junior Year 2011.

16 year old tom boyish, Santana Lopez stood at her locker watching her adorkable best friend/long term crush Rachel Berry and McKinley own Broadway diva talk to her good friends Kurt Hummel and Mercedes Jones. She looked so cute in her high waist black shorts, pink v neck sweater with a cute black dog on the front, white knee socks and her mary janes.

Nobody deared to slushie her best friend in the face or insult her or else they had to deal with her. She's always been in love with Rachel but she's just to scared to do something about it until now. She takes a deep breath and walked over to her.

"Hey Rae can we talk for a few minutes?" Rachel, Kurt and Mercedes stared at her.

"Alone." Santana said wanting Rachel's side kick friends to leave. They take a hit and told Rachel that they will see her at lunch.

"Why have you been ignoring me for the past few days? did I do something wrong?" Rachel said softly.

"No you didn't do anything wrong. I'm sorry for ignoring you." She hugs her which makes Rachel smile.

"Oh god I'm not all for this mushy bullshit. You know me better then anybody in this god awful school." Rachel giggles pulling away.

"Yes I do know you and I know that you like to swear when your nervous. What's going on?" Santana grabbed ahold of her hand and pulled her into the choir room.

"I didn't want to say my feelings in the hallway because there personal and nobody needs to hear our conversation." Rachel just stared at her.

"Alright I'm rambling. I've been in love with you for a long time, I know it's shocking but I can't see myself without you by my side. Your not only my best friend but your also my soulmate. I'm not happy when your away from me, I miss you all the time we're apart, I dream about kissing you and calling you mine. God damn it I want to be with you. Do you want to go on a date with me? " Rachel gasped.

"Please say anything. I don't like that your so quiet." Rachel saw tears forming in her best friend's eyes. She walked closer to and wiped her tears.

"Santana what took you so long? of course I love you as my best friend and my future wife. Yes I would love to go on a date with you." Santana let a girlish squeal and pressed her lips against Rachel's who of course responded to the kiss.

They ended up going on their first date the next night enjoying it.

Present Time.

Santana got shot out of her memories by the cab driver telling her that they were at her house. She pays him and gets out of the car and gets her bags.

"Thank you Sir. Have a good day." She closed the door and looked at the house she hasn't been in two years. She's visits but it's been two years since she's been able to come home and stay home for awhile. She wasn't even home for the holidays due to working.

"Here goes nothing." She whispers fixing her bag on her shoulder.

The front door of her house suddenly opens and her beautiful wife runs out at the speed of light. San drops her bag before Rachel jumps into her arms, wrapping her legs around her. She held her close listening to her wife's happy sobbing. Santana was also crying. She missed her wife so much. It's been a long two years.

"Oh my god I've missed you so much." Rachel said through her tears. They stayed like that for a few minutes until they heard people yelling their names and asking for pictures. The paparazzi were having a field day now that Santana has returned. Santana puts her wife down wiping away her tears.

"Come on baby let's go inside." Rachel picks up her bag. Santana looked back at the paparazzi and waved hi before going into her house.

Santana took a long steaming shower 20 minutes ago and now was laying on hers and Rachel's bed in just a towel drying her hair. Rachel was staring at her with her hand in hers. They haven't let go of each other since they got into the house. The whole time they really let go was when Santana took her shower.

Rachel smiled when she heard the blow dryer turns off. Santana looked at her placing her hand on her cheek.

"I love you." Rachel leans in kissing her sweetly. They pulled back slowly.

"I love you too baby. I'm so glad your home." Rach said softly.

"You have no idea how hard it was being away from you. I hate being away from you." Rachel climbs onto of her and kissed her passionately. Santana deepens the kiss and felt the towel leave her body. She took off Rachel's dress and they stared at each other before kissing each other once more.

Three and a half hours later. Santana stared down at her sleeping wife. She ran her fingers through her silky brunette hair. This is her life and she was going to cherish the time she has with her.

"Sanny are you still here?" Rachel mumbles in her sleep.

"Yeah babe I'm still here. Go back to sleep." She opens her eye and looked up at her.

"No I want to be awake besides I want to catch up on everything." She says sitting holding the sheet against her naked body.

"Trust me there is a lot to tell you and I can't tell you in just one day." Rachel looks at her.

"Alright are you hungry? I could make you anything you want, even non vegan food." Santana chuckles.

"Okay let's get dressed and we can get some good in us and then we can watch a movie." Rachel kisses her sweetly. Santana held her close deepening the kiss. This is what she came home for.
