"Rachel," Santana shouted pounding on the bathroom door. "Hurry the fuck up!"
"I'm coming," Rachel yelled back.
"That's what she said," Santana laughed hearing the water shut off.
The door opened and Rachel came out, clad in a towel. "Shut up...are Kurt and Blaine here yet?"
"No," Santana said shaking her head. "They called saying they were running late. They're on their way now, Little Elliot started acting up."
Rachel nodded her head making a mental list. "Okay, okay don't panic...did you put the food in the oven?"
Santana chuckled at Rachel's predictableness. "Yeah...Kurt and Blaine are bringing everything else. The wine bottles are set and so are the refreshments...only thing you have to do is be ready and also the dessert."
Rachel paused, "I thought Shelby was bringing the dessert."
"Right," Santana mentioned. "Now go get ready, I still have to shower!"
"Why did we agree to host the winter/Christmas/your birthday reunion?" Santana asked as she frantically rushed from the door to the window.
Rachel wasn't fairing any better as she checked her phone then the oven then also like Santana looked out the window to the sort of heavy snow fall. Kurt chuckled from the kitchen of the Lopez-Berry household as he stirred the sauce for food. Blaine laughed quietly from the living room piano, baby Elliot on his lap.
"I don't know," Rachel replied. "Do you see anybody?"
"No, not yet...whose coming again?" Santana said.
"Mercedes and her husband Sean with Mason. Can you believe he's two? Tina and Mike texted me saying they were running late. Umm Sam and Penny were stuck waiting for a cab with Kitty and Ryder. Jake, Puck and Finn are gonna be here...Kurt who else?"
"Marley, Joe, Adam and Elliot should be coming. Did Jesse say he was going to come?"
Santana nodded, "He was going to come with Brody and Dani."
"Artie and his wife Lilly should be coming," Blaine supplied. "And Sugar and Harmony along with their daughter Amanda should be here."
"And we agreed that Unique wasn't coming right?" Rachel confirmed. "She's stuck in Milan."
"Right..." Santana trailed off frowning as she checked her phone.
"Has she not called yet?" Rachel asked.
"No," Santana sighed. "I just miss her."
"I bet she misses you too, San," Rachel said coming behind Santana and hugging her.
"Q miss you too," Santana rebutted.
Rachel scoffed. "If she missed me she'd call or at least write me an email."
"She'll come around," Santana whispered as they heard the doorbell ring.
"You're here!" Kitty shouted as she saw Sugar with her daughter and wife walk in. Harmony rolled her eyes at her sister, yes it was weird, but Harmony Wilde happened to be Kitty Wilde's older sister.
Rachel who had been catching up with Kitty and Marley covered her ears at Kitty's declaration before walking over to greet her guest.
"Sugar," Rachel smiled as she hugged the younger girl. Before turning to look at Harmony and Amanda. "Harmony, good to see you again. And you pretty girl, look how big you've gotten!"
The one year old cooed. As she was taken away from the arms of her brunette mother into her godmother's arms.
"Kitty," Harmony hissed. "Be careful, she's-"
"A baby," Kitty replied. "I know, but I'm her godmother. I know how to take care of her so let me."
Rachel observed the scene happily and laughing Santana chuckled as she stepped closer. Dani and her girlfriend Riley, followed closely behind.
"How old is she now?" Dani asked looking over as Kitty showed off her goddaughter.
Sugar pulled Harmony closer, and smiled into her wife's neck. Harmony giggled as she replied to Dani, "She's fourteen months."
"Congratulations," Riley commented.
Sugar questioned, "I don't think we've met, who are you?"
"Sugar! Don't be rude!" Harmony chastised.
"What?" Sugar asked, and Santana and Rachel laughed.
Riley blushed, "I'm Riley, Dani's girlfriend. You must be Sugar and.."
"Harmony," Harmony supplied. "I don't remember you at the wedding."
"That's because I was still with Santana," Dani intervened. "I met Riley a few weeks after San and I broke up."
Harmony nodded and Sugar smiled as Santana got up to get more drinks. Rachel excused herself as Dani and Riley started talking to Harmony about her job.
The doorbell rang while Santana and Rachel were in the kitchen getting dinner ready. As the pair moved through the kitchen they didn't notice how the living room became quiet. It became apparent to them a few minutes later.
"Did it suddenly get very quiet to you?" Rachel asked as she pulled out the main course from the oven.
They could still hear noise from the living room and the music was still going. "Yeah...weird."
"Should we get Puck and Finn to and help us," Rachel asked.
Santana shook her head before nodding. "PUCK, FINN GET YOUR ASSES HERE!"
"SANTANA! THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE!" Rachel shouted after that.
"What are you doing here?" Sam asked as he saw Brittany and Quinn sneak in.
"Jeeze, Sam," Quinn whispered. "Way to make us feel special."
"Sorry," Sam frowned.
"Girls what are you doing here," Mercedes questioned as Mason toddled over to Quinn and Brittany.
"Really guys, what's with the hostility?" Brittany questioned.
Kurt sighed, "We aren't trying to sound hostile...its just Santana and Rachel...they've been..."
He trailed off and Brody took over pulling Kitty closer to him. "They've been different...they understand that it's hard to have a long distant relationship, but even that turns to shit when the girls stop talking..."
"Brody," Kitty hisses at her boyfriend.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Quinn growled.
"What do you think?" Jesse adds.
"I think you all need to calm down," Shelby interrupted. "Beth can you go help Rachel and Santana in the kitchen."
"Beth?" Rachel asked.
"Mom sent me in here," Beth replied. "Probably doesn't want me around curse words."
"So she sent you in here, with Santana and Puck?" Finn commented.
"That's mom," Beth shrugged.
"What are they discussing that they thought the kitchen would be a better place to send you?" Rachel questioned playfully.
"Umm...Brody and Jesse started yelling about how upset you two," Beth signaled between Rachel and Santana. "After Quinn and Brittany..."
"...why would they bring them up?" Santana asked.
"Cause they're in the living room," Beth replied nonchalantly.
The shatter of the plate stopped the conversation in the living room.
"Shit, Rae you okay?" Puck asked.
"Oh shit, Puck, she's bleeding..." Finn added.
"Oh shit boys..." Beth added, "stop saying shit...and maybe we should get Rachel a towel and Santana...out of shock...but wait...let me take a picture of myself with her like this...and maybe steal twenty dollars from her wallet."
"Dammit...why didn't I think of that?" Puck commented.
"Beth Corcoran Fabray don't you dare steal money from her wallet!" Shelby answered as she rushed into the kitchen. Brody, Quinn, Brittany, and Kurt on her heals.
"Jeez mom," Beth replied. "I wasn't going to actually steal her money."
"Rachel," Shelby asked ignoring her younger daughter. "Rachel, honey, can you hear me?"
Rachel sat unresponsive and Santana much the same. The boys had manage to move them over to the table.
"Rae," Quinn mentioned rushing to stand in front of her girlfriend.
Brittany did the same, "Sanny?"
"Quinn?" Rachel whispered.
"Britt-Britt?" San murmured.
The other occupants of the kitchen slowly backed away not wanting to get stuck in the cross-fire.
"Are you okay, baby?" Quinn asked. "Let me look at your hand."
"You're scaring me, Sanny..."
"What the hell are you doing here?" Rachel asked once she came to.
"I'm coming home," Quinn replied slightly taken aback.
"After not calling me for the past three weeks...jeeze Quinn, you sure know how to make someone happy..." Rachel muttered standing up and going to rinse her hand off.
Santana at hearing that snapped out of her own daze.
"Sanny?"
"Brittany, when did you get here?"
"Umm tonight..." Brittany replied sheepishly.
"Rachel," Quinn mentioned. "Please we can talk about this."
"Can we Quinn!"
"Why didn't you tell me, Brittany!"
"Surprise?" Brittany smiled.
"No...not a surprise...a surprise would be if I knew that my girlfriend was still my girlfriend..."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Brittany asked.
"Rachel, please..."
"Please what Quinn!"
"I missed you...I couldn't stand being in Vienna one more night." Quinn pleaded. "Please, Rae...listen to me."
"I means that a phone call would have sufficed..." Santana sighed. "Something that would have made me feel like we were still close."
"We still are close," Brittany pleaded. "What can I do to make fix this?"
"What can I do to make this better?" Quinn asked.
"I want a kid," Rachel stated. "I want a family Quinn."
Santana nodded, "I want to get married."
"What?" Quinn asked.
"You're sure?" Brittany mentioned.
"Let's get married," Santana ordered.
"I want a family, Quinn." Rachel pleaded. "Make my birthday wish come true."
"Then," Quinn said. "That's what we'll do. I'll have my p.a. make a doctors appointment tomorrow."
Rachel grinned and for the first time in a long time she kissed her. "Thank you."
"Okay then," Brittany nervously mentioned.
She slowly got down on one knee.
"Santana will you love me for the rest of your life and will you make me happy by becoming my wife?" Brittany asked me pulling out a ring.
Santana was shocked, "I didn't think you had the ring."
"I bought it in England after my first semester at the Royal Academy, when I saw it...you were still with Dani at the time, but I loved it. I knew it was for you. I just had to wait for the right moment."
"Wow Brittany, it's beautiful."
Brittany couldn't help but smile uneasily. Her knee was starting to hurt.
"San..."
"Oh right," Santana said looking down. "Yes. Yes a million times yes!"
"We are never hosting the annual glee club Christmas party again," Santana sighed sinking into the couch once everyone had left.
Brittany smiled snuggling into her fiancée. Rachel agreed from the love seat, Quinn's head on her lap. Quinn chuckled at the exasperated tone in her best friend's voice.
"Well congratulations, it was amazing." Quinn commented purring at the sensations from Rachel's hand in her hair.
"Alright lovebirds I think its time for all of us to head to bed," Santana said standing up and pulling her blonde to her room.
"I couldn't agree more," Rachel said as she pulled Quinn to her. "Night San, Britt."
