Whoa thank you so much for all the reviews and follows/favorites. I honestly didn't know that so many people were still interested in my story! Thank you so very much!

Also if you are reading this, you have survived 'the end of the world' :D

"Brittany, stop scratching!" Brittany slowly lowered her hands onto her lap and pouted up at Santana. "But it itches San."

"Yeah I know baby but that means that it's healing, try patting it softly but don't scratch." Brittany tried to pat the scar on her back but it just looked awkward. Santana couldn't help but let out a giggle as she told Brittany to scoot forward in the hospital bed so that she could lend a helping hand.

Brittany had to receive a few stitches in her hands and on her back. Luckily the glass piece that was lodged in Brittany's back wansn't as large as Santana thought it was and once the glass was removed the cut only needed a few stitches.

After patting Brittany's scar for a few seconds Santana fluffed her pillow and guided Brittany to lie back. Santana took a seat next to Brittany on the hospital bed and took her hand. "So I talked to mike." Santana drifted off and Brittany's brow furrowed, she had no idea why Santana would be talking to Mike. "He is giving you a month off work, you know, to recover." Brittany was about to protest, saying she was fine and that it was unnecessary to be away from work that long but Santana squeezed her hand telling her that she wasn't finished talking.

"So I decided to take a month off work as well. I have spoken to Quinn and she told me that she could hold the fort on her own till I'm ready to get back to work. And I thought it would be a really good time to work on us. A whole month to ourselves."

Brittany thought about it for a moment and then she nodded, "yeah that sounds perfect, thank you." She wrapped her right hand around Santana's neck and pulled her into a long sweet kiss. The kiss was starting to get a little heated when they heard someone clear their throat awkwardly. Both girls glanced up and saw Brittany's doctor standing at the foot of the bed.

"Sorry to interrupt your little moment there but I just want to go through a few things with Ms. Pierce."

Santana nodded and took a seat on the chair next to Brittany's bed. She looked on as the doctor asked Brittany as few questions, like how her scars were feeling, were they tender, itching etc. He told Brittany that she would be able to go home in two days and after being there for four days Brittany couldn't help but do a little fist pump. That caused Santana and the doctor to laugh at Brittany's antics. Santana knew the blond couldn't wait to get out of this hospital.

The doctor then proceeded to check the bandages on Brittany's hands and nodded to himself. That had to be a good thing, right? He told Brittany that he would see her tomorrow for the last time and with a smile and a wave to both girls, he left the room.

Brittany barely had time to breath out a sigh when Rachel came running through the door dragging an annoyed looking Quinn behind her. She pointed her hand toward Brittany and Santana in a stop motion and bend down, taking in deep gulps of air. Quinn just rolled her eyes and let go of Rachel's hand. Yup she and Santana were definitely thinking the same thing. Drama queen…

"Oh my gosh Brittany! How are you feeling?" before Brittany had the chance to answer, Rachel grabbed Brittany's face between her hands and inspected her face from left to right.

Brittany took Rachel's hands off her face and just laughed at her friend. "Like I told you on the phone, I am perfectly fine." Santana took Brittany's hand in hers. "Yeah just a few bumps and bruises." Santana joked.

Brittany laughed along but Rachel turned towards Santana with a glare on her face. "Bumps and bruises don't get stitches! This is your fault, you dragged Brittany into this mess."

Santana felt a pang of guilt in her chest and was prepared to fire back but Quinn quickly stepped in between the two brunettes and Brittany pulled Santana next to her on the bed. Brittany shook her head at her friend's behavior, "you know that isn't true Rachel. Santana didn't mean for any of this to happen and it was most definitely not her fault, she didn't know one of her ex-boyfriends was going to go all psycho on us." Brittany directed her gaze to Quinn after seeing the ashamed look on Rachel's face. "So Q how was your visit with Rachel's dads?"

Quinn blushed and pulled Rachel into a hug, kissing her on her forehead, "it went really well, it was almost cut short when Santana called us to tell us what happened but luckily you both were okay so we decided to stay."

"yeah they loved her, dad was so impressed with her when she actually knew was going on in the football game they were watching and daddy loved her from the moment she praised him on his vast collection of Broadway posters."

Brittany had a huge smile on her face, "I'm really happy for the both of you." Brittany felt a pain in her chest when she realized that Santana would never get the chance to meet her parents.

4 days later

"Britt, baby wake up." Brittany stirred in her sleep but didn't have any plans to actually wake up. "I brought you some tea and your meds. You know you have to take them." Brittany opened her one eye to look at Santana and groaned, pushing herself up she took the tea from Santana and drank her medicine.

They were at Santana's apartment and to be honest the place gave Santana the creeps, but she knew that she will just have to suck it up. She knew that Eric was locked up for good, Puck made sure of that.

Santana couldn't help but notice that Brittany had been awfully quiet these past two days. Santana sighed and took a seat on the foot of her bed, she reached out and started to massage Brittany's feet. "Are you going to tell me what's on your mind?"

Brittany looked up from her cup of tea and shook her head, "it's nothing." Santana didn't believe that for one moment, "is it the apartment? Is that what's bugging you?"

"No San, it really isn't. I'm fine with being here, really. Though I'm really glad you replaced the coffee table and the carpet in the living room."

Santana scooted closer and looked in Brittany's eyes. "Then what is it Britt? Please talk to me, don't close up."

"Okay don't be mad San." "I won't be."

"It's just that I'm so scared that you'll leave me again. When we broke up I was so hurt from the things you said to me and then I was just angry. I couldn't believe that you chose something materialistic over me. But then seeing you tied up in that chair broke my heart and I forgave you right on the spot. I knew at that moment that I would do anything for you, even risk my life for you San. And I'm just afraid that now that I finally have you back, something is going to happen and separate us again. I won't be able to live through that again."

Brittany was now in tears and Santana knew from the wetness she felt on her cheeks that she was too. Santana took a deep breath and gave Brittany an honest answer.

"I promise you that nothing is going o come between us again, I will cherish and protect you just like you protected me. You mean the world to me. I will always love you the most." Santana pulled Brittany into a hug after softly kissing her on the lips.

"I love you too."

The next evening Brittany and Santana were busy preparing dinner. Okay well actually Brittany was trying to prepare it and Santana was trying her best to make Brittany forget about the food.

"Leave it baby, we can order takeout. But first I want to taste you." Santana was sucking on Brittany's neck while trying to pull down Brittany's jeans. "Eager much San? You know you have to unbutton them first."

Santana just growled and quickly kneeled down to unbutton Brittany's jeans. When she finally pulled them down she helped Brittany step out of them. Too turned on to wait any longer Santana pressed a kiss to Brittany's clothed center. Just when she was about to pull Brittany's lacey panties down her phone started ringing.

"Fuck! Really?" Santana couldn't help but feel extremely frustrated. Deciding to ignore it she went on with what she was previously planning to do.

Brittany, getting really curious felt the urge to glance at Santana's phone that lay on the counter behind her. Glancing over her shoulder she felt her eyes go wide and she quickly closed her legs, receiving a wine from Santana. "Really Britt? First the phone and now you?" Still looking at the phone, Brittany just blindly reached forward and tapped Santana several times on the head. "San, it's your father."

Confused Santana stood up and reached for her phone, she hadn't heard from him since the whole choose between Brittany and the agency incident. "Can I help you?" Santana growled into the phone.

She heard her father clear his throat awkwardly and sigh. "Hello Santanita, your mother and I were wondering if you and Brittany would like to join us for dinner tomorrow night."

Santana looked shocked at Brittany and couldn't think straight. Did her father just invite her AND Brittany to dinner? "Uh... yeah we'll be there."

Santana could hear her father sigh a sigh of relief. "Great, thank you. I will email you the details tomorrow morning. Have a good night." And with that the phone called ended.

Santana slowly lowered the phone from her ear and stared at Brittany. "I guess we are going to have dinner with my parents tomorrow night." Santana placed her phone back on the counter and stepped out of the kitchen. Brittany pulled her pants back on and smirked at what she heard Santana muttering to herself. "Cockblock of a father."

Santana stood leaning against her bedroom door, she was watching silently as Brittany was fidgeting with the back of her dress. "You look beautiful."

Brittany jumped a little and turned to smile at Santana. "Thank you, but I can't get the dress to cover up the bandage." Santana took a step forward and wrapped her arms around Brittany's waist. She placed a gentle kiss on the backside of Brittany's neck and then laid her head on Brittany's shoulder. They stood there in silence, just staring at their reflection.

"Please don't try to hide them Britt, they are a reminder of how brave you where. Something terrible happened to you but you stood up, held your head high and you came back for me. The more I see them, the more I fall in love with you."

Brittany blushed at Santana's words and turned around in her arms. "Besides scars are badass Britt." Brittany leaned in and gave Santana a gentle kiss on the lips. "You ready?" Santana gave her a nod and walked over to the bed to pick up her handbag.

Santana and Brittany sat in Santana's car in front of a mansion of a house. Brittany's leg keeps bopping up and down and she keeps nibbling on her lower lip. Suddenly she turned around to look at Santana, "what if they hate me? I'm after all the woman who turned their daughter into a lesbian. And from what I've learned from past experiences, your father doesn't like me at all."

Santana was also a little bit nervous but she didn't want to show it, she didn't want to freak Brittany out anymore than she already was. "They are going to adore you Britt. I can tell that they want to get to know you, otherwise my father wouldn't have invited us over." Santana gave Brittany's thigh a gentle squeeze and got out of the car. Seconds later Brittany's door opened and Santana held out a hand for her, "now c'mon."

About ten seconds after they rang the bell the door flew open and Santana was being pulled into a hug by a petite Latina.

"Ah my baby girl, I'm so glad that you are okay! I have missed you so much!" Maribel held Santana by the shoulders and gave her a once over, "you look good!" Santana smiled at her mother's happy mood and saw that her mother's eyes trail down to the pale hand still intertwined with hers.

Maribel smiled at the beautiful blond woman holding hands with her daughter. "And you must be Brittany! I'm Maribel, Santana's mother! It's nice to finally meet you dear!"

Before Brittany could reply she was being yanked into a hug by the older woman. A soft 'thank you' was whispered in her ear and after pulling back and seeing the look in the look in Maribel's eyes, she knew exactly what the thank you was for.

"Well what are you waiting for? Come in, come in!"

Santana took a few steps into the house but instantly halted when she saw who stood in front of them.

Mr. Lopez felt a flash of guilt wash over him when he saw how his wife interacted with his daughter and the woman who protected his daughter from a man he shouldn't have trusted to begin with. He felt ashamed for the way he treated the two women and all the heartache he directly and indirectly caused them both.

After having a long discussion with his wife about a week ago, Mr. Lopez finally stated to accept that his daughter was in love with a woman. When he saw his daughter halt in her footsteps and the blond haired woman frown in confusion, he decided to say something.

"Mija, you look as beautiful as always." He then stepped forward with his hand stretched out. "Brittany, it's a pleasure." Brittany quickly let go of Santana's hand and wiped her hand on the side of her dress before taking Mr. Lopez's hand and giving it a firm shake, "the pleasure is all mine Sir."

After watching some embarrassing home videos of a very young and naked Santana, the dinner was ready.

They all made their way to the big dining room table where Brittany pulled Santana's chair out for her and placed a quick kiss on her cheek. Mr. Lopez saw the sweet gesture and couldn't help but feel guilty again for judging their relationship before he even got to know Brittany, before he even saw them together.

"Before we eat, I have something to say." Everybody around the table's eyes was on him. He gestured with his hand towards Brittany. "Brittany, I would like to say how terribly sorry I am for judging you and for not respecting your relationship with my daughter. You really are an outstanding woman. And after what you did for my daughter and after I have seen how you treat her, I can honestly say that I wouldn't want anyone else to be with my daughter." Brittany nodded and said 'thank you sir' through a teary smile, Santana took her hand under the table and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Mr. Lopez then directed hi attention to Santana. "Mija I know I haven't been a good father and the things I did in these past few months is unforgivable. But I hope you can forgive me and whatever you and Brittany decide to do in the future, you have my full blessing." Santana stood up and gave her father a sweet kiss on the cheek and a long hug. "Thank you Papi, it really means a lot to me."

When Santana took her seat next to Brittany again, Mr. Lopez directed himself to his wife, he took both her hands in his and kissed them both. "And thank you my beautiful wife for blessing me with almost 30 years of marriage and a beautiful child. Also thank you for opening my eyes." Maribel pulled him into a hug and gave him a chaste kiss. "I'm so proud of you."

Mr. Lopez then turned forward in his chair and clapped his hands together, "alright let's eat." After about a minute of utensils clinking against plates, Mr. Lopez broke the silence, "So Brittany, tell me more about yourself."

After dinner Brittany offered to help with the dishes, Santana and her father was watching a football game that Mr. Lopez missed during the weekend. "Sooo… I have your blessing for anything?" Mr. Lopez gave Santana a quizzical look, "yes Mija." Santana then turned to her father and whispered. "Will you still give me you blessing if I told you I want to ask Brittany to marry me?"

Mr. Lopez looked shocked at Santana, but a good kind of shocked, and then whispered something back that made Santana's stomach flutter.

"Only if I can help you choose a ring."

Brittany and Santana were lying in bed together later that night. They were giggling about all the embarrassing photos of Santana and how her father tried to cheat when they played monopoly. Luckily Maribel saw him and took over as the bank. The night was perfect and Santana's parents loved Brittany. Santana was really glad that her father had come around.

"See I told you they would love you!" Santana was pinning Brittany to the bed and gently tickling her. Brittany grabbed Santana's hands and pushed them down so that they were flat against her stomach. She then reached up to cup Santana's cheeks and pulled her down for a long passionate kiss. After a few long minutes of tongues slowly dueling with each other and lips caressing each other, Santana pulled back.

She stared into Brittany's beautiful blue eyes and quickly pressed her wet lips against Brittany's pulse point. She kissed her way up to Brittany's ear. "Let's go away for a while."

Brittany pulled back for a moment and stared at Santana, a grin broke out on her lips as she slowly started to pull Santana's dress' zipper down. "Where to San?"

Santana leaned down to kiss Brittany. "Anywhere you want to go babe."

Okay so where do you want them to go? Please review and give me a place and why you want them to go there if I choose your destination, I will use your name or a name you want as the Hotel manager? I was thinking South Africa, we have the wine, wildlife and variety of cultures?

Also a name for Mr. Lopez? I don't know any Spanish names

Thank you guys!
