"You ready Kiddo?" Santana asks holding the wooden sledge steady at the top of the hill.
Ellie bounces over to the sleigh and grabs the rope at the front.
"Ok, now remember, hold onto the ropes, don't move your hands off the sledge, and-"
"-Steer towards Mommy." Ellie whines. "I know Mama, can I go!?"
Santana tuts and adjusts the sledge, pushing lightly. She can hear her laughter all the way down.
"You ready to go?" Santana says turning to Caleb who is standing quietly behind her.
Caleb's eyes dart between Santana and the sledge and he nods.
"C'mon then."
Caleb makes his way over to her slowly, and sits down gingerly on the sledge.
"I will go down with you if you like" She smiles gently taking his hand in her own.
"I'm Ok." He said quietly nibbling his lip.
"You don't have to pretend not be frightened Cale, If you don't want to do something you don't have too."
"But I want to try." he tells her.
"Well then we can both try, I didn't like sledging when I was your age."
"…Ok."
"Ready?" Santana whispers in his ear settling on the sledge next to him.
"Yes"
Santana digs her foot into the snow and pushes them so they speed off down the hill, Caleb lets out a scream of laugher as they go faster.
Hitting the bottom of the hill a few feet away from Quinn and Ellie, they both went fly off the sleigh and into the snow, Santana holding her son protectively to her.
"Cale?" Santana asks when she regains the breath that whooshed out of her on the way down.
There are a few seconds of silence before Caleb bursts out into laughter.
Santana sighs in relief, realizing her son isn't hurt, then joins in with his infectious giggles.
The both laugh even more when they see Quinn's bemused face looking down at them holding a camera.
