This is it the final chapter...I promise you it will be a fun a lighthearted one to bring everything together nicely!

(Three Years Later)

(Santana's POV)

We took a long engagement but Britt and I decided we wanted to travel the world with the kids, do things we have always wanted to do. So we did, we covered almost every corner of the planet over the last few years and it has been amazing. We had a private tutor for the kids whilst we jet set around the globe, so they didn't miss out on their education. 

Mateo took a liking to a girl from France and her to him. They met on our first summer away when we went to Annecy, so every summer since, Mateo has gone over there to stay or she has come to us, her name is Celine. And she is here today as his plus one. Izan and Sofia are growing up so quickly too, their personalities shining through brighter than ever. Ella is now just a little over three years old, she wasn't always with us. Jax got out of the hospital just a little over two years ago and has been a constant in her life. She is the most gorgeous and joyous little girl. 

Something else has also kept us busy, Britt and I had another baby! Gabriela is now 18 months. Our family and friends think we are absolutely nuts, but Britt and I just want a big family, it is something we have always talked about and we didn't want to wait. Travelling around the world with a baby wasn't an easy task. But my Mami and Papi joined us for a good majority of our travels and sort of became our in house baby sitters. My father is semi retired now, he said he wanted to make more time for what was important in life. He still holds his position on the board at the hospital and is doing a great job, but we just seem him a lot more now and it's lovely. Him and Britt are back to their old banter-ish selves and I often get ganged up on and my Mami is just...well she is Maribel Lopez! Is there anything else I can say!?

Today is my wedding day, I am marrying my soulmate for the second time. I take a moment to stand in front of the mirror in my hotel room, all the memories from the past three years and beyond play through my mind, causing me to smile. I have a full feeling in my heart, it's bursting at the seams with love for Brittany and our family.

"Are you ready Princess?" My father appears behind me, making me jump a little, he hasn't called me princess since I was like 6 years old, but it makes me smile. "I'm ready" I smile at him and loop my arm around his. We are getting married in Italy, right on Lake Como.  We found this gorgeous manor on our travels one year, got in touch with the owner right away and put a deposit down for our wedding venue. 

It's August 5th and it's a scorching 28 degrees and all of our guests are sat outside in their finely pressed best, waiting for Brittany and I to walk down the aisle one by one. We have all the usual here, family, all of the hospital gang and of course our New Direction's buddy's!
