December. 

"Okay, who's gonna sit next to Tina?" Santana turned to me. I was on the floor playing with the twins and I shrugged. "Artie, maybe Mike. I don't know."

"You like the truck?" I played with Gabriel in a baby voice and Santana groaned. "Moni, come help me with this."

"Duty calls, boys." I stood up and walked away from the twins to Santana.

"Who's sitting next to Sugar?" She asked and I shrugged. "Rory." I put a chair next to Sugar Mottas chair and Santana looked at me confused. "The Irish kid?"

"Yeah, i mean, he was our friend."

"Didn't you like him? You're inviting someone you liked to our wedding?" She asked and I rolled my eyes. "You're inviting Quinn and I know for a fact that you two had sex."

"I-" Santana started and immediately shut up.

"Okay," I backed up and stared at the seating chart. "I think this is perfect."

"Yeah, except for two things. One: why is Sue here." Santana threw away Sue's chair and I shrugged. "I just thought that if we didn't invite her then she'd sabotage it."

"She won't. Oh, and second: why is my abuela here?" Santana asked and I smiled. "Well, you love her and I thought that maybe she'd change her mind when she sees that you're getting married."

"No, no, no. She won't change her mind. Trust me. Listen, if I could change her mind: i'd love for her to come. If my abuela was there while i was marrying you...it'd be the perfect wedding times ten. But that's not happening. Sorry but she's not invited." Santana threw the chair away and I looked down at the trash can.

"But Moni," Santana lifted my head up. "this is already gonna be perfect because in the end of the day, i'll get to call you my wife."

I smiled and leaned in but Santana stopped. "Oh my god." She covered her mouth looking behind me and I turned around. My eyes landed on Peter who was walking. He was standing on his two feet and took a step. "Oh my god. Santana call Sam."

I got on the floor and patted it. "Come here."

As soon as he tried taking another stepped he fell over and I went over to pick him up. "That was great, bud." I put him on his feet again and Santana sat across from him. "Come to Mami." Santana patted the floor and Peter began walking.

All of a sudden Gabriel came to Santana walking too and I gasped. He fell before he got to her and I started crying tears of joy. I had been doing that a lot.

"Come here." I reached over to Gabriel and hugged him. He laughed and I kissed his head.

We and Sam had practiced walking that day. The twins just walked to us from short distances. They hadn't got the full hang of it but i didn't care. I was just so happy I got to see their first steps.

The next day I went over to Brittany's house to talk. Me and her managed to stay friends after breaking up. She knows how to not make things awkward and that's what i liked about her.

"I just- I want our wedding to be perfect. After everything that i've done to her...i owe her that." I said and Brittany nodded. "Then go see her."

"Who?"

"Abuela Lopez." Brittany said and I looked at her confused. "I'm pretty her name is Alma-"

"Pretend to be a nurse or something. Maybe you can get to change her mind." Brittany smiled and I laughed. "You really are a genius."
