A/N: So this popped in my head and won't get out. I'm so sorry about Things Change and After School Escapades, but I'm like a one-track writer and can't balance two stories at once. Again, I'm sorry. And there will most likely be about seven, eight more with this, and will posted under one thing. I planned this one out a little. And it's future fic, they're both, 33. And I should have next part up sometime later tonight. Please R&R! :)

It was that time of year again. Quinn and Rachel could feel it, and so could their two kids, Allie and Jared.

Lima was beginning to look festive as well. Snow had begun falling, lightly dusting the ground and rooftops. The shops, what few there are in Lima, began stringing lights, hanging wreaths, and advertising for sales on various things.

The kids were all hyped up on holiday spirit as well. Hanukkah had just ended a couple days ago and they were ready for Christmas, and the presents. Allie was eight and Josh was seven They were ready for Christmas to happen right then and there. Hell, they were ready for this year's the day after last year's. But there was only a little less than a month left, so they were extra excited. Also, Quinn and Rachel had promised that the two could help with most everything this year, and they could not wait.

Rachel, ever being Rachel, had made a list of what she wanted to have done, and first thing was to do was to decorate the outside of the house. And since Rachel was always into competition, she was determined to make this the year that their family won the annual Lima Decorating Contest.

Rachel decided to get things started bright and early in a Saturday morning, the kids of course already being awake. Quinn needed a little more incentive, however.

"Mom, Mom come on, time to start decorating!" Jared said, jumping in the space of the bed that Rachel had vacated. Allie decided to join him, just because it was one time she could get away with jumping on a bed. Rachel just looked on, looking and feeling amused.

Quinn just groaned and rolled over onto her other side, looking at the clock on the beside table. The neon green light said it was a little past seven in the morning. Quinn groaned again.

"Rachel, baby, it's only seven a.m. Can't we like, wait another three, fourhours?" she asked in a somewhat whiny voice, putting on the pouty face that she had learned from the diva. Rachel thought it was sometimes better than hers, and there were rare occasions where it did not work. But those were very rare occasions.

This was one of those. The only reason it did not work was because both kids looked at Rachel with equally good pouty faces, and two worked against one.

"Quinn, you promised. And if I may remind you, you were the one who wanted to stay up late last night." Rachel said with a wink.

Quinn had to grin at that one, especially with the kids completely oblivious.

"That is very true. Although I didn't exactly hear you complaining."

"What were you up late for?" Jared asked, moving to curl up next to Quinn who had moved into a sitting position.

"Your mommy was busy telling me how amazing I was." Quinn answered with a slysmirk in Rachel's direction.

"And she very much is." Rachel said, taking Quinn's hand and gently pulling her off the bed and into a light kiss.

"Ewww okay okay we'll leave c'mon Jared run!" Allie said, taking his hand and running out of the room, him stumbling after her, much to both women's amusement.

"Baby, if you really want to go back to sleep I'm sure I could figure out a way to keep them placated long enough." Rachel said, her hands on the taller woman's hips. She rubbed circles with her thumbs over the smooth skin.

"No Rach, it's okay. I'm up now. But you may have to give me some type of reward later tonight for my waking up this early." Quinn replied with another smirk.

"And it's the return of Quinn, the everlasting horndog." Rachel said with a dramatic sigh, bringing a hand up to her forehead like she was in distress. Quinn laughed, and moved to circle her arms around the brunette's waist and pull her close. "Oh you know you love it." she said as she kissed her once again.

"I do. But I do not love the morning breath." Rachel said with a playful smile as she pulled out of the kiss. "So get in there and brush your teeth, and then get your sexy ass in something warm yet flexible so we can start decorating. And as a little more incentive for you to get ready and downstairs, I have bacon that I'm going to cook just for you, only if you get ready."

All Quinn heard was 'downstairs', 'bacon', and 'going to cook' before she was running to get ready. Rachel smiled internally. Even if she hated the thought of a poor little pig sacrificed for food, she had to admit it definitely got her wife motivated in the morning. She made her way downstairs to kitchen to cook the bacon while Quinn hurried herself to get ready.

It was now eight o'clock, and the snow was a few inches deeper than it had been yesterday. Quinn could tell it was good building snow so she sent the kids to build snowmen.

She stood outside with a plastic bag half filled with bacon, eating it slowly and savoring the taste as she tried not to stare at Rachel's ass as she climbed higher on the ladder and onto the roof. The jeans were some type of design that made them tight and fashionable, yet very warm.

Quinn loved whoever designed them. She would send them a thank you note. Or maybe not. But still.

She was standing under the ladder, in case Rachel fell, of course. But it also did give her the best possible view.

"How does it look?" Rachel asked, oblivious to Quinn's staring.

"Really nice...mmpf..." Quinn answered, still staring at Rachel's ass.

Rachel looked down to see Quinn's staring. "Quinn, the lights are up here." she teased, laughing when Quinn did a double take and finally looked at the lights.

"Damn babe, I missed all that while staring at your amazing ass. That means your ass is that amazing. But the lights looks amazing."

Quinn was not lying. Rachel had installed the hooks on the roof over the summer when Quinn had taken the kids to the Berry's to go swimming. All she had to dowas wrap the lights around them in a very thought out zig-zag, horizontal, and vertical pattern. Rachel had climbed down and flipped the switch, and even though the colors were faint in the morning light, Quinn could tell it would look really cool.

She held out her hand and Rachel took it, and Quinn drew the brunette into her arms. "We're totally going to win this thing baby." she said, kissing her forehead.

"I hope so. And I just have one more section to do. Why don't you go make sure Allie hasn't buried Jared in a snow drift?" Quinn laughed. "Good idea." she said, and with one more kiss to Rachel's forehead she walked around the corner to the side of the house.

Thankfully, Allie had not buried Jared in a snow drift, and both were busy working on the snowman. The base was about two feet tall, and the second ball three fourths of that. They were done with the head but could not lift it, so Quinn, ever being the superhero to her kids, stepped over and picked it up - Damn this thing is heavy, she thought to herself - and placed it on top, packing in the snow around the neck to secure it.

"Thanks Mom." Allie said, reaching in the plastic bag she had filled with things to decorate the snowman. "Can I start decorating?"

"Just a sec, honey. Let me get Mommy so she can help us." Quinn walked around the side again back to where Rachel was putting the finishing touches on the lights. She walked stealthily to the ladder and stood at the bottom. Rachel was unaware, and started down the rungs. When both feet were flat on the ground, Quinn wrapped her in a giant bear hug. Quinn felt her jump and tense, until she realized who it was and relaxed into the embrace.

"You scared me." Rachel said with mock anger, turning to face her.

"You're scared by my affection?" Quinn asked innocently, a smile threatening her

lips.

"You're impossible, you know that?" Rachel asked, kissing her.

"Yet you love me anyways."

"Yes I do. Now did you have something to ask, or did you just want to scare me?"

"Yes I did. Will you come help me and the kids decorate the snowman?"

"Of course baby. I just finished up." Rachel said, gesturing to the now completely covered front roof.

"Looks amazing babe. Can't wait to see it tonight with everything we're putting up this afternoon. But time for snowman decorating, and then a break, lunch, and some well-deserved hot chocolate." Quinn said, taking Rachel's hand and leading her to the construction site.

An hour and a half later, the snowman was finished to Jared's exact instructions.

Everyone thought it looked good, so they all trudged into the house, peeling off the layers of clothing. Allie and Jared plopped onto the couch to watch Rudolph while the two women made their way into the kitchen. Rachel grabbed the milk, organic, of course, out of the refrigerator and poured it into mugs. She placed the first in the microwave while Quinn grabbed the box of instant cocoa mix.

They made enough for the four of them, and went to sit on either sides of the kids on the couch, Rachel to Jared's left and Quinn to Allie's right. They watched the end of Rudolph, and made it halfway through Frosty the Snowman before the kids nodded off, as well as Rachel.

Quinn ran a hand through Allie's dark hair, almost the exact color of Rachel's. She gave thanks once again that Allie and Rachel were both still here. Rachel had gone into early delivery, and both had had complications. After a week in the hospital for Rachel, and two for Allie, both had been able to come home, and eight years later they were both okay.

When Quinn had Jared fourteen months later, everything had gone smoothly, much to both women's relief.

She thanked God once again and snuggled closer to their daughter, drifting off herself.

Rachel woke up around twelve thirty, and silently moved into the kitchen to make everyone lunch. The other three woke to the smells of lunch, and came into the kitchen.

After finishing, everyone layered back up and went back outside, and Rachel had the kids set up the manger scene while Quinn set up the light covered frames that looked like gift boxes, reindeer, and polar bears. Then the four of them strung up lights around the trees, and then the kids hung plastic ornaments off the branches.

They finished at about four o'clock, and then played in the snow for another hour until it was dark enough to turn on the lights. With a dramatic flourish, Rachel flipped the switch.

The lights were dazzling. The roof was covered in the multicolored lights, the trees draped in gold, and reindeers and polar bears in shining white. The manger scene was spotlighted by a gentle gold light, and the ornaments reflected off the tree's lights.

Quinn wrapped her left arm around Rachel's waist, pulling her close, and drew Allie and Jared under her right arm.

"It looks amazing." Allie said, sounding awestruck. Jared just nodded, his mouth hanging slightly open.

"I think so too." Quinn said, hugging her family close, thankful to have them all with her, and excited for what the rest of the month would bring them.

Please R&R! :)
