AN Soooooooo... yea... I can not even explain how sorry I am. There are no words for how bad I feel. I hit a wall and it turned out to be the great wall of China. I am still not really happy with this but I wanted to at least give whoever is still reading some kind of end. Its not proofread at all, I barely had enough time to write this honestly but I got started and I had to finish. It is probably riddled with mistakes.. though after rereading this story a few times to try and get my muse back to keep writing I am realizing just how badly written this thing is and I am sorry for that.. but this is probably going to be worse then in the past lol sorry

Thank you all for continuing to read and those of you who just started.. This ride was insane and I can not believe how much this story changed my life. I am disappointed that I messed up so badly with it with the extended hold it was on but it was so hard to give an end to something so important to me. I hope you all are not disappointed with it :/

Epilogue

Santana's POV

I wake up with a loud grunt as a heavy weight lands not so gently onto my stomach. I don't even need to open my eyes to know what, or rather who, it is since the wakeup call is immediately followed by a giggle that can only be from Skylar.

"MOMMA!" She yells in my face when I do not immediately open my eyes, "Wake up! It's time for breakfast! Mommy told me to come get you." She says in a quieter voice while also squashing my face between her two little hands.

I open my eyes and see her little face only a few inches above mine. "But I want to sleep more" I pout. "We don't have any plans today so just tell Mommy that I am just going to stay in bed ALLLLLLL day long."

I try my hardest to keep the smile off my face and I close my eyes age and pretend to go back to sleep.

"But…" Sky starts as Rae walks into the room.

"Sky, if she doesn't want to wake up then let her sleep. She will just miss all the yummy pancakes I made for us." She explains to the girl as she lifts her off my abdomen.

"But..." I hear the little girl say a bit further away and I open one eye to see Rachel is very slowly walking towards the door with Sky on her hip.

"What do you want to drink?" Rachel's voice gives away her smile.

"But it's my birthday! I want Momma at breakfast." I can hear the pout and I know for a fact that this has been taken to far now and Skylar is very close to tears.

I quickly jump out of bed and swiftly grab the birthday girl out of her other mother's arms. "It's your birthday? Are you sure? I thought that we just had one of those last year for you!" I joke as I lay kisses all over her face before picking her up and putting the final one on her tummy as always. I move to put her back down on her feet but she's too quick for me and wraps her arms around my neck to tell me that she still wants to be held.

"I get one every year! DUH!" She says exasperated. "Last year was my fifth birthday and this year is my sixth!" she explains. "Next year will be my seventh and the year after that…" I know she will continue until someone cuts her off.

"OHHHH. But how was I supposed to know? No one told me and I didn't get you a present." I continue to joke as I walk down the few stairs that lead to the lower level of the apartment.

"I've been telling you for weeks," she sighs as I place her down in the chair that is decorated with balloons and streamers. "But that's ok I don't need presents," she says even as she slumps her head down on her fists with a sigh.

"Oh so you don't want the presents that I got you?" Rachel asks and then sticks her tongue out at me jokingly. I give her an affronted look before passing by her with a kiss to get to my seat and my pancakes.

The newly turned 6 year old immediately perks up. "Of course I do! But we should wait until after pancakes. We don't want them to get cold." She says seriously as she digs into the precut pancakes Rae must have laid out for her before coming upstairs.

I finally look at the clock and realize that it's nine o'clock in the morning and I actually got more sleep then I thought I would this morning. "Babe, you could have woken me up earlier. I would have helped you get everything started."

She just waves me off as she sticks a forkful of pancakes into her mouth.

We finish up our pancakes and are in the living room in record time. Skylar climbs up onto Rae's lap and giggles as Rachel lovingly tickles the girl in her arms. I use the girls' distraction as a way to grab the present Rachel and I bought the girl from the place we always hide the presents; not wanting her to find out the hiding spot and have her ruin future surprises.

"So Mommy is a big fat fibber because these presents are from both of us." I joke while making a face at my wife.

Yep! That's right! We're married. I would love to tell you that I had the whole engagement thing planned out and asked her in this ridiculously romantic way or something but that would be a lie. Though it was all planned out and ridiculously romantic, Rachel beat me to it. I still don't know how I let her get it over on me, but the day of graduation she asked me if we could go for a walk before going to dinner with our parents because she wanted to have some alone time before everything got crazy. It had been a hard few months leading up to it what with her dads showing up and all and the shit storm they brought with them, but in the end graduation day still saw us all as strong as ever. We walked for half an hour before we landed in my front yard.

"Santỉ, I Love you so much. More than I could have ever imagined in fact. I do not know how I would have been able to get through this school year without you." Rachel stated as she turned towards Santana.

"Oh come on Rae, we are so much better then sentimentally, cheesy, graduation day confessionals." Santana says with a chuckle as she brings her girlfriend in for a kiss."Especially since you are never getting away from me so there's no need for goodbyes." She joked.

"I know, and I never want to get away from you." Rachel answered as she grabbed a hold of Santana's hand and started leading her into the backyard. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Well that's good because that's the plan. If you wanted something different then we'd be having problems." Santana grabbed a hold of Rachel's hips and backed the girl into her chest to hold her close as they shuffled further into the back yard.

The minute the Latina took in her backyard however her arms fell from the petite girl's hips and she let out a small gasp. The backyard was set up pretty much the same way as it was for their first date, except where the blanket the girls had laid on originally had been there was a group of their closest friends and family with Skylar in Papi's arms even as the girl tried to wiggle out of his grip to get over to her mothers. She was so thrown off by the scene that she hadn't even realized that Rachel had slipped away from her and was now a few feet away on one knee. When she did notice though her hand flew up to her mouth and her eyes filled with tears.

"So I know that you totally going to be pissed that I am doing this before you get a chance to but we wouldn't be us if I didn't." Rachel joked even as tears filled her eyes as well, "And I know that it's not really traditional to have everyone here, but it seemed only right. We have all been through so much together and…"

Quinn could not help but roll her eyes with a chuckle as she pointedly cleared her throat to stop the upcoming nervous rant from the scarlet. What did she even have to be nervous about? No one here was doubting the answer Rachel was about to receive.

"Santana, will you marry me?" Rachel asked as she pulled out a ring box.

Santana for her part barely let the question fully form before she was nodding her head and falling over herself to get to the other girl. "Yes of course! Do you even have to ask?" She sobs as she pulls Rachel back up onto two feet and kissed the girl soundly.

Rachel pulled back from the kiss after a few moments and smiled widely at her new fiancé before slowly slipping the ring that Santana immediately recognized as he mother's onto her finger. "Papi gave it to me when I told him my plan." She said with a wink and a cocky smile. Santana didn't know how she had known that Papi had told her awhile ago that she could have the ring when she planned on asking Rachel to marry her but she was not really complaining right now either.

We were married a year after that with everyone we love, along with almost all of the cheerios, present. It was seriously the happiest day of my life. I know, I know, Rae turned this bad ass into a cheese factory, but whatever this life is worth it.

As Skylar rips through the paper of the first present she eyes the little envelope excitedly knowing what those envelopes usually held. "BROADWAY TICKETS!?" she squeals. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, like mother like daughter. Funny enough this one was my idea, obviously when I told Rae of my plans she was pretty much as excited as Sky is now.

"Yup! We're going to see Wicked!" Rachel tells her excitedly earning another squeal from the birthday girl.

I roll my eyes with a fond smile. We've seen Wicked four times already. The first few times were because Shelby was playing Elphaba and we were supporting her, after that however both my girls fell in love with the show and so we continued to go see it even after Shelby had moved onto new shows.

I lay the other gift onto the girls lap and she brightens up further if that's even possible. She starts ripping into it and yet again squeals as she sees the American Girl Doll that the wrapping was hiding. She looks so happy and excited that I cannot help but smile widely at her. I seriously cannot believe that years later we are still as happy and close as ever. Sure there were stressful times between then and now, the complications from high school never truly going away really. Both Rachel's fathers and Jesse tried to make reappearances but neither had really changed so both ended the pretty much the same as they did the first time around.

"Ok sweets go get ready for our day. You can wear whatever you want but remember that you are choosing what we do today so choose your outfit accordingly." I tell her and she quickly jumps up and wraps her arms around my neck and gives me a kiss before repeating the gesture with Rachel.

"I have the best mommy's ever!" She says before running off to her room as quickly as her little legs can take her.

"Today is going to be tiring" I laugh as I grab Rachel's hand and bring her into me for a quick kiss.

"Yeah, but her birthdays are still one of my favorite days of the year." Rae smiles at me. We have been letting Sky choose her birthday plans since she was old enough to tell us what she wants to do. I agree with her before we drag ourselves upstairs to get ready also.

"So where's our first stop Princess?" Rachel asks as we walk out of the apartment and I lock the door.

"Let me guess… the park?" I ask with a smirk pretty much already knowing the answer. One of Mi Princesa's favorite places is the park.

"Yeah!" She says excitedly. "Breakfast in the park with Aunt Britt-Britt and Auntie Quinn!" She explains jumping up and down.

I laugh because of course with Britt and Quinn, the couple was some of her favorite people. Although it's hard to not be one of Skylar's favorite people. Her list includes everyone of the Trouble Tones and her grandparents obviously, along with her teacher and our mail carrier among others. But the two blondes are at the top of the list right under her grandparents.

"Ok well I can call Quinn and see if she is free, but they may have plans Princess," the scarlet tells her.

It is actually kind of funny how close Quinn and Rachel became over the years. If I wasn't so secure in our relationship and if Quinn wasn't so whipped by Britt I would be afraid of the two running off together.

"Talking about us?" Quinn asks with a coy smile as she and the blonde dancer walk up the stoop.

"How?" I ask with a chuckle as I hug both of them. The birthday girl was immediately in Brittany's arms giggling wildly.

"She told us yesterday when we were at dinner." The shorter blonde answers as if it was obvious.

"To the duck pond," Brittany yells with her hand out before starting to run down the block with Skylar now on her back. The rest of us start laughing before following after them.

Rachel's POV

Santana runs after the two goofballs leaving me and Quinn behind alone.

"So…." Quinn starts and I look over at her only to see a shit eating grin. I raise my eyebrow at her and she laughs and shows me her left hand. I immediately stop walking and squeal.

"OH MY GOD, how are you just showing me this!?" I ask as I grab her hand and look at the huge rock on her finger.

"Today is about Sky not me and Britt. We will announce it tomorrow; I just couldn't not tell you today," she explains with a huge smile.

"Everything ok?" Santỉ asks as she jogs back to us and immediately sees what I am looking at. "About freaking time she asked your mom's permission like 2 months ago, she's been calling me constantly as if you would tell me before her."

"Why wouldn't she call me? Why didn't you tell me?" I ask pouting.

"Please, you can keep a secret from Quinn almost as well as Brittany can say no to Sky. So can we hurry up and get to the park before Skylar and Brittany end up in the Central Park Zoo without us again and we have to spend hours on end trying to find them." She says with a roll of the eyes. Sky loved the park because of the zoo and last time she and the dancer got to the zoo before us they went to the zoo before we caught up. Brittany wouldn't answer her phone and we ended up having to call the over the speakers five times before they heard it and found us.

We hurry up to get there before it happens again and find the two in question running around after ducks. Me and Quinn lay down the blanket that she and Britt bought while our significant others ran around with Sky.

I look around the city I have always dreamt about and for the millionth time today smiled. We moved to the city the year we graduated. No matter what Santỉ said there was no way that I was going to let her duck out on her scholarship. She started at Columbia that year and with a bit of help from Shelby and her contacts I was enrolled at NYU by the spring semester. I am now in my fourth year and am planning on graduating next year if everything works out. I could have actually graduated on time if I wanted to but it would have taken a lot of work and I wasn't willing to take that time away from Sky.

I already have connections in the theatre thanks to Shelby and have actually been offered a few ensemble roles but have opted to finish school before taking any on. It may seem weird but I want to get my degree and I really don't have the time right now to take on a show on top of everything else. San managed to graduate on time and is now working towards her law degree.

The hardest part of moving to the city was definitely leaving people behind. Tony was by far the hardest. Our separation did not last very long though because within the first year of us moving here he got a job at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital and moved down with us. He lives about 30 blocks away and we have dinner with him, Shelby, Beth, and Ben, Shelby's boyfriend of three years, every Sunday. Brittany had secretly applied to Julliard our senior year without telling anyone until she got in because she was afraid of getting rejected and Quinn got into Yale and then moved her once she graduated. The rest of the TroubleTones were scattered after graduation, the nationals win helped almost everyone get great opportunities after graduation, but we all try are damndest to get together at least once a year. Honestly though with all the marriages though we manage to get together more than once a year; in fact Brittany and Quinn had been the hold out, even Puck had settled down with a great girl he had met in LA.

We spent a few more hours in the park before we taking Skylar to her second stop across the street where the girl was absolutely spoiled by all four of us. At around five we grabbed the birthday girl and made our way towards Skylar's party at Ellen's Stardust. I personally hate the place but Sky loved it so it was a no brainer for the party, especially since Shelby and Papi offered to buy out the entire restraint for us.

As soon as we walked in everyone started yelled happy birthday and Sky excitedly went around and said hi to everyone. After greeting the birthday girl all of the TroubleTones, who manage to come down every birthday, came over and we spent the night taking leaving Sky to hang out with all her friends and her aunt (still weird to call her that). By the time the party started dwindling down Skylar was exhausted. She was having a hard time keeping her six year old eyes open as she snuggled into my mom.

I look over to Santana who seemed to be having as hard a time staying awake as Skylar was and send her a loving smile. I don't know what my life would have been like if she hadn't brought my cell phone to me that day years ago; if she hadn't found out about Sky. I don't know where I'd be today if she hadn't given me her heart and put up with all my issues. I know without a doubt that none of this would have been happening and Sky's and my life would not be as good as they are.

The End
