The Words || Christina Perri 

All of the lights land on you The rest of the world fades from view And all of the love I see please, please say you feel it too And all of the noise I hear inside Restless and loud, unspoken and wild And all that you need to say To make it all go away Is that you feel the same way too And I know the scariest part is letting go Cause love is a ghost you can’t control I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now So let the words slip out of your mouth And all of the steps that led me to you And all of the hell I had to walk through But I wouldn’t trade a day for the chance to say My love I’m in love with you

And I know the scariest part is letting go Cause love is a ghost you can’t control I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now So let the words slip out of your mouth I know that we’re both afraid We both made the same mistakes An open heart is an open wound to you And in the wind of a heavy choice Love has a quiet voice Still you mind, now I’m yours to choose And I know the scariest part is letting go Let my love be the light that guides you home And I know the scariest part is letting go Cause love is a ghost you can’t control I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now So let the words slip out of your mouth

Santana’s trip to New York had been a successful one, for more than one reason. It was her first time in the city having a positive experience in years, and she’d been asked to be Finn’s Maid of Honor in his wedding, which she was more than excited about. But more than that, she was happy, really happy that she’d gotten the chance to talk to Brittany. They spoke for the first time since the reunion, and from what Santana understood, their conversation, or rather, blow up at the reunion had been the result of many old feelings, and the result of not having seen each other in years. The two of them talked about the past and about whether or not they were going to move forward in each others lives, and ultimately came to a conclusion that Santana was happy about: starting fresh. Yes, they could never erase history of the past or the pain that either of them had felt, but Santana was honestly happy that both of them could start fresh, and form a friendship with each other like they might have formed years ago. So the two of them stayed in contact, which started with them texting from time to time. Dani encouraged the whole thing really, and was proud of Santana for getting back in contact with Brittany. Eventually the texting turned into Santana visiting Brittany in New York on occasion to just meet her for dinner, or to spend time with her in a totally platonic way. Santana rekindled her love of Disney movies through one of those occasions, and the two of them just took the time to enjoy each other’s company again, which even Charming seemed happy about. And being in New York seemed to become easier and easier, especially because Santana was working quite a bit out of New York with the release of her fourth album. And even if the visits were less frequent when Santana went on her fourth tour, she still stayed in touch with Brittany, and with as many as she could. Things began to really look up for Santana as she realized more and more with the passing of time that she didn’t have to be so self destructive towards herself. The past might have been bad, but that didn’t mean the future couldn’t be good, even if bad would probably eventually come back later. But she wasn’t afraid of the bad anymore. She was learning that life was about the whole up and down thing, and that she didn’t have to hate herself for feeling things, because if she was feeling, she was living. Experiencing losses, time, and maturity had taught her those things. And as Santana finished her fourth tour, she really just wanted to live in the moment, and take things was they came with her. Which proved to be decently successful, because her and Brittany became pretty smitten together once again, and started officially dating at the end of 2020, just after she was the maid of honor in Finn’s wedding. Which really, was one of the proudest moments of her life. She never really expected herself to get so overwhelmingly proud of Finn when she actually was there and saw him get married, but she was nonetheless. And Santana was finally so more than okay with opening herself up to love. She didn’t have to use her crazy bitch powers to tear people down or to tear herself down, she could use her strengths and her brutal honesty to support the people she cared about and to be that hardcore best friend she always knew she was, to so many people. Friendships and love seemed to breeze through Santana’s life at this point, and it really was an incredible feeling.

Santana and Brittany made it a point to keep their relationship out of press, and really made the whole thing about rekindling their private life instead of letting it become a public spectacle again. Once Santana returned from her tour, she found herself visiting New York more and more frequently to visit Brittany, to the point where it was getting ridiculous. It was becoming clear that New York was coming back into her life again, and that it really was her home all along, when Beverley Hills had just been a substitute. So in the spring of 2021, Santana sold her Beverley Hills house off and moved once again back to New York, where she planned to stay. She purchased a penthouse sized apartment of her own in the city for herself, and for a number of months, Brittany just came to visit. Santana at this point dropped Adam Greenburg as her main manager, working with another manager through Columbia when she finally decided she couldn’t deal with him anymore. She took her sweet time to work on her next album in the studio, and her and Brittany took their sweet time to allow their relationship to grow together. They’d still managed to keep everything out of the press in the way that they’d wanted to, and really, everything seemed like it was falling into place. So at the end of that year, Santana took the bold move to propose to Brittany once again, to which she accepted, much to Santana’s relief and happiness. The two eloped in a small church in Columbus, Ohio in the presence of only immediate family on August 18th, 2022, and both of them couldn’t have been happier about the small ceremony that they’d had. After all, they already had the wedding of a lifetime years before, and even with all the bad that had come after, they would always remember that original crazy wedding as one of the best days of their entire lives. The two continued to keep their marriage out of the press for a while, until they’d really settled into it, only announcing it months after they’d eloped and once they really were in fact, ready for the world to know. Of course friends and family had known before that, but they still didn’t want anything in the press prematurely, Santana had learned her lesson about that. Everything about settling into their marriage once again felt right, and it felt good to move slow and to make her priorities with Brittany about how they were doing privately and as people before it was about some spectacle or false idea of what marriage really was. Santana had learned a lot about marriage through Brittany, and she liked to think that Brittany had too. Marriage wasn’t about the huge wedding or reception, it was really about joining your life with another person and giving your all to them, no matter what the setting. It is about growing into a relationship, and compromise, and it isn’t about true love or lust or any of the things that teenagers get so caught up in. Santana was proud to say she’d learned that, and really, even if everything was kept under the radar and she was much more private about her personal life, she’d never been happier, truly. There was really at that point, only one thing missing. 

Conversation of children came up once again months after they’d been married. And really, from what Santana understood they both wanted to try, or to at least have at least one baby, but were afraid of the whole idea. Santana for one wasn’t sure what she would do if she miscarried again, and she didn’t know if she could really handle going through that again. Which was why after both of them thought about it long and hard, they decided to adopt their first baby. And to Santana’s surprise, upon hearing about their desire to adopt, Gloria, her crazy godmother and mother’s best friend rose to the occasion. She’d split from her “gold digger” husband and had found a new man, but neither of them really wanted to have kids of their own. But Gloria was young enough to have them, and something had brought her to offering herself to Santana and Brittany. And while Santana was at first weary of her first child having elements of Gloria in them, especially if it was a girl, she couldn’t deny that it was incredible of Gloria to even offer herself, and she really didn’t know where else she would find a latina family willing to do the same thing for them. Of course her mom was supportive, considering it would give Gloria an actual familial tie to their family, so eventually, Santana agreed. Gloria was the official biological mother of her and Brittany’s first baby, and nine months later, in-between Santana releasing another album, the baby came. And really, from the second that Santana held him, she knew that everything about this was meant to be. They named him Cristian, almost in tribute to a name that Santana considered for a while that had to do with Finn, but Cristian seemed to fit best. Cristian Antonio Lopez, born November 14th, 2023, slowly became the light of Santana’s life, and as she and Brittany adjusted to their lives as new mothers, it almost felt like all of the things that Santana used to hold onto and bottle up and attack other people with didn’t seem to matter. All the sudden, in the midst of Santana’s crazy career and the people who continued to surround her, the only thing that truly mattered to her was keeping her wife, and her new son happy and healthy, and that was it. She knew she could let go of the past, and of all the rest, and suddenly, she completely began to understand why her mom was who she was today when she claimed that she’d been just like Santana when she was younger. Kids had done Santana in, and maybe at this point in her life, she was okay with that. As much attention as she and Brittany received when they finally released to the public all the details about their second marriage and child together, she just wanted to be happy with Brittany and her new and perfect son. All the other stuff just didn’t really matter to her anymore.

Santana and Brittany later went onto try for a second child, finding a surrogate father that wasn’t related to either of them by blood or friendship, because of how hard it had been for them after the miscarriage knowing Finn faced the blow as well. Luckily however, this time around things worked in their favor. Brittany gave birth to their second child, a baby girl named Haley Joyce Pierce, on February 14th, 2025, giving them a Valentine’s day baby, which really was emotional for Brittany and Santana for a number of reasons. Santana kept close ties to the friends she’d kept in high school, especially Finn, Jeff, Sugar, Nick, Quinn, Tina, Harmony, and Artie, but really, she hardly considered herself enemies with anyone anymore. She even had an occasional conversation with Rory. Bristol eventually got arrested for spiking a 17 year old girl’s drink in New York, who just so happened to be the daughter of an incredibly wealthy CEO. Dani and Rita remained close friends of Santana’s as well, and Dani was Santana’s lead guitarist for two more tours following her “The End” tour until she got picked up by another smaller record label for her own music. And Santana? Well, everything seemed to be falling into place for her, Brittany and their family, and all the people Santana cared about and really, so all Santana could honestly say was that she was excited for her future, and the life she’d created with Brittany and their gorgeous children. After all, they were Brittana, and now they had their own little family, they could do anything.

So... I guess you could say I had an amazing weekend in New York.

Did a ton of promo stuff for my album, cleared the air with someone important, and I was just asked to be the Maid of Honor for my best friend's wedding. I'd say they're lucky a superstar like myself said yes, but come on, I couldn't have denied that offer for anything in the entire world. I can't wait. Really.

*BEEP*

Santana: Britt? Hi.... I know you probably don't want to talk to me, or see me... but I'm in New York doing promo stuff for my album this weekend... and I really wanted to talk to you in person if you're free. Call me back, or text me... please?

-hangs up-

[spicyx--latina]

Noted. And like I said, I'm working on it. 

But this conversation desperately needs a subject change, so how are you? I swear it feels like you've been hiding under a rock for forever now...at least whatever that means for you. 

It's Official. [Private]

There’s nothing wrong with you. Some things take time, you have the right to take that time. It’s not like you haven’t had reason to stumble a little and question things. But you’re getting there, that’s what matters. Just don’t lose sight of who you are becoming for who you used to be.

[spicyx--latina]

Good. You deserve way more credit than that. 

Do I ever do anything else? I never let myself stop, I swear sometimes I'm running on caffeine highs. But I'm guessing it's the same for you. 

It's Official.

[spicyx--latina]

Okay, not even I can try to take the adorable out of any of that. And it's not like I would anyways, you're the only person in the freaking world I'd ever approve of him marrying at this point. I can't wait. 

Save the date!

Finn and I have finally set a date for our wedding, so don’t make any plans on December 13th of this year unless they’re with us! That’s when we’ll be tying the knot, and we hope to see everyone there. I’m so excited that I’m literally jumping up and down as I type this…

Which makes it a bit difficult to do. But anyway! I’m very lucky to be the future Mrs. Hudson.

[spicyx--latina]

Not wanting to puppy-sit is an understatement. I've dealt with having a slobbery puppy in my face enough for an entire life time. 

Sooo excited!
