This is just a short Christmas chapter and it will also be the last one for this year. There will probably be a second Christmas one in the New Year I'm still writing it but it's not finished and I wanted to get something out before I go on holiday. So here is it!
Happy Holidays everyone!
~~~ First Noel ~~~
2034 Christmas Eve
Hannah loved Christmas. It was her favourite holiday and this year it would be extra awesome because it would be Max's very first Christmas and it would also be Hannah and Becky's first Christmas together. The Aussie had been nothing but excited and joyous since the first of December. She couldn't explain it but she just loved the concept of Christmas. She wasn't very religious but she liked the story of Mary and Joseph riding all the way to Bethlehem and Jesus being born in a stable and everything else. She liked that aspect of Christmas but she loved all the other stuff. She loved the idea of jolly old St. Nick bringing presents and flying reindeer, she loved the decorations, she loved the food and she loved the music.
Becky just found her girlfriend's enthusiasm for the holiday amusing and oh so adorable. Hannah was usually quite calm and laid back so this side of her was kinda unexpected but not unwelcomed. Since Max's birth Hannah had pretty much moved into the Berry-Fabray house too. Though her parents weren't all that happy about their daughter entering a relationship with a girl who just had a baby, they didn't want her to have to take on that responsibility when the child wasn't even hers and they wanted their daughter to get back together with Grace instead. Hannah wasn't all that pleased with her parents opinions on the subject so she spent more time with the Fabray's than she did at home.
Because the basement had been delegated as Becky and Max's room Hannah had helped them decorate it accordingly. She had placed tinsel and all things Christmassy all around the place. Becky herself had never really liked the holiday much. Growing up with her parents, well she was kind of deprived of that warm and loving feeling Hannah seemed to think Christmas was all about. But after living with the Berry-Fabray's for nearly a year now and being with Hannah, Becky could see herself liking the holiday a lot more. Becky was also looking forward to creating new and loving memories with her new family.
It was Christmas Eve and like every year before the Fabray's and the Pierce's were all cramped in the living room eating pizza and watching Christmas movies. Maya was there too because she wasn't allowed to stay for Christmas Day, she had to spend it with her family so she and Toby were making the most of their first Christmas together. In fact this Christmas would be host to a lot of first times for the new couples.
They were on their third movie an old favourite the Muppets Christmas carol, Brittany's choice. All the couples in the room were cuddled up as they watched in relative silence. Judy and Marcus were there as well as Leroy and Michael and Maria and Beth. It was a full house and they could barely all fit in the living room comfortably but it was just awesome being surrounded by so much family and friends.
Hannah and Becky were snuggled up on one of the bigger beanbags with Max resting on Hannah's chest fast asleep and making those baby noises as he slept. Rachel had bought him this cute little elf onesie and Hannah had absolutely loved it. Becky just rolled her eyes but secretly she loved it too.
Rachel and Quinn were cuddled up on one of the couches with Rachel pretty much on top of Quinn with half of her body lying in her wife's lap with Quinn gently running her fingers through Rachel's long brown hair. Santana was in a similar position on the other end of the couch with Brittany gently running her fingers along her wife's arms as she quietly mumbled along to the songs in the movie never taking her eyes off the screen. Santana craned her head up to look up at her wife and just smiled at how adorable she was. She leaned up to quickly place a kiss on her chin...it was as high as she could go without having to strain anything or move too much. Brittany just smiled at the action and wrapped her arm around Santana's torso holding her tight.
Ben and Charlie were sharing the other beanbag together Ben had offered it to her and he would sit on the floor but Charlie wouldn't let him. It was a tight squeeze but they found a comfy position with Charlie resting her head on his shoulder. Toby had wiggled his eyebrows as he offered his girlfriend his lap to sit on but Maya just giggled and shook her head she just pushed his legs open and sat between them instead resting back against his chest. Toby didn't mind he could still wrap his arms around her. Grace was sitting on the floor next to the beanbag that Hannah and Becky were on with Sofia resting her head in her lap as she played with Grace's hands.
It was halfway through the movie when people started to get sleepy. Santana had giggled at her Mami who was fast asleep with her mouth hanging wide open and softly snoring. Marcus and Leroy were already off to sleepy land. Max was gone hours ago and Quinn was fighting a losing battle.
"I think I'll put this little guy to bed." Hannah whispered to Becky
"Mmkay...want me to come with?" Becky yawned.
"S'ok. I'll be right back." Hannah replied giving Becky a quick kiss on the lips before she got up out of the bean bag and headed down to the basement.
Due to her movement Max had woken up with a big yawn and stretch. He looked like Littlefoot when he was a baby at the beginning of the movie he even made that cute sound when he yawned. Max opened his eyes blinking several times looking around until he looked up to see Hannah smiling down at him.
"Hey little man, sorry I woke you up." Hannah softly spoke as she gently rocked him.
She moved down the stairs flipping the lights and dimming them quickly so they wouldn't be too bright for his eyes.
"Guess what Maxie? It's Christmas Eve and that means that Santa will be here soon to give you lots and lots of pressies." Hannah smiled brightly
Hannah sat herself down on the small double bed that she and Becky shared holding Max close to her heart.
"You're gonna love Christmas Max it's the best holiday ever and me and your mummy will make sure that every Christmas will be better than the next." Hannah promised
Max sighed happily and snuggled into his mama's embrace.
"I hope one day I can take you to Australia for an Aussie Chrissy it's a lot different to New York that's for sure. It's like opposite land. Instead of snow it's boiling hot and we could go to the beach and have a barbie for lunch. Even if it's not for Christmas I hope I get to take you sometime." Hannah continued to speak softly to the boy in her arms
"I have a little confession to make Max. I know its early days and me and your mum only just started dating for six months or so but...I am so in love with her it's not funny. I think of her and I just...and then there's you Max, I love you so much. I love you as if you were my own. I know I might be jumping in head first but I just know that this is it. That it's gonna be me you and your mum against the world." Hannah added with a small smile
Max just grabbed her finger wrapping his hand around it and holding it tight as he closed his eyes. Hannah leaned down to gently kiss his soft head and carefully stood up to place him into his crib. Once he was settled Hannah just stood there watching him for a few moments and couldn't help but picture the next few years of her and Becky and Max together. This little family she had found herself to be in was probably the best Christmas gift ever.
After a few moments Hannah turned around to head back upstairs but stopped and nearly screamed when she saw Becky standing there.
"Geez Bec you scared me half to death." Hannah whispered
"Sorry." Becky chuckled quietly
"How long have you been there?" Hannah asked as she came up to her girlfriend
"A while." Becky shrugged
"How long is awhile?" Hannah asked with a nervous look.
"Long enough to know that you are awesome and that I love you so much too." Becky smiled bringing her arms up to rest around Hannah's shoulders gently pulling her in a little bit closer.
"You heard all that?" Hannah asked feeling a little embarrassed and shy.
"I did, you were gone for a while so I came down to see if everything was alright, if Max needed feeding or something. But when I got down the steps I heard you talking and I just couldn't interrupt you." Becky replied pulling Hannah in even closer.
Hannah looked down still feeling a little embarrassed about Becky hearing all that, but even still she couldn't help but place her hands on Becky's waist closing the gap even more that was between their bodies.
"I hope we can go to Australia too one day." Becky added
"You do?" Hannah looked up a little surprised
"Of course, I would love to be able to take you back home and to show our son where his mama came from." Becky added with a smile.
Hannah just looked at her girlfriend in awe it still made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside when Becky would say things like that referring to Max as theirs and that she was his mother too. She never thought she would be a mother at 16 and it wasn't always easy but she wouldn't change it for the world.
"Do you want to go back upstairs or do you want to go to bed?" Becky then asked running her hand down Hannah's arm linking their fingers together while her other hand gently stroked the fine hairs behind Hannah's neck.
"Well...I am pretty tired." Hannah replied with a fake yawn.
Becky giggled at that and nodded.
"Yeah me too."
"I feel kinda weird doing stuff with Max in the room though." Hannah whispered
"Yeah it is kind of a mood killer...but we don't have to...you know...do it. But we can make out a little." Becky replied blushing lightly.
"That we can." Hannah grinned and led them towards the bed.
Upstairs the only people awake were Grace, Sofia and Brittany who was still completely focused on the Muppets movie. Everyone else was asleep by now. Beth and Maya had left about twenty minutes ago, Beth had offered to drive her home and once they had gone Toby headed upstairs to go to bed he had picked Charlie up too and put her to bed as well.
Sofia let out a big yawn as she tried to stay awake but her eyelids were getting droopy. She shuffled around a little getting comfy turning on her side with her head facing Grace's body. She couldn't help but smile when she realised where exactly her head was. She let out a small giggle making Grace look down to see why her girlfriend was laughing. Sofia looked up with a smirk on her face. Grace mouthed 'what?'
Sofia didn't reply she just shuffled forward a little bit making her nose bump up against Grace's centre making her shiver at the touch. Grace gave her girlfriend a warning glare to which Sofia just chuckled. She then brought her hands up to rest under her head to 'get more comfortable' but the look in her eye told Grace otherwise. Grace was contemplating whether it was a good idea or a bad idea that she had changed into her thin cotton pjs meaning she could feel any touch that Sofia was no doubt going to make.
With her pinkie finger Sofia gently ran it down the seam of Grace's pants making the girl squirm and suck in a small breath at the touch. Grace quickly looked around the room to make sure no one had heard or saw but thankfully everyone was asleep and her Aunty B was still watching the TV and hadn't noticed a thing.
"Sofia" Grace hissed
"What?" Sofia asked innocently and ran her finger against her girlfriend once again.
"Stop" Grace pleaded weakly but also shifted to move her legs apart just a fraction making Sofia smile
"Stop what?" Sofia whispered before she moved her head to place a lingering kiss to Grace's centre
It took a lot of restraint for Grace to hold in her moan though that failed when Sofia pushed her tongue against the spot where her clit lived and then Sofia added the brush of her teeth against her making things worse...or better depending on your preference.
Once again Grace looked around to make sure no one had noticed them and once again thankfully no one did.
"I can totally smell you through your pants Gracie" Sofia gave her a wicked smile
"Oh my god." Grace groaned quietly
"Let's go to bed so I can give you an early Christmas present." Sofia whispered as she sat up totally invading Grace's personal space.
"Kay." Grace submitted easily.
Sofia stood up holding her hand out for Grace to take. She helped her girlfriend up threading their fingers together.
"Mom we're going to bed." Sofia whispered to her mother
"Ok honey, merry Christmas girls." Brittany replied finally taking her eyes off the movie.
"Merry Christmas" Grace and Sofia said back before they headed for the stairs
"Oh and girls?" Brittany called out now standing up and walking over to them
"Yeah?" Sofia asked
"Next time make sure everyone is asleep, you're not as subtle as you think you are." Brittany told them with a knowing look.
"Oh my god Aunty B I am so sorry." Grace whimpered in embarrassment and hid behind Sofia
"It's ok...you know I'm ok with you two...doing stuff as long as you're safe but just...keep it in the bedroom kay?" Brittany replied
Grace nodded as her cheeks burned while Sofia looked slightly mortified.
"Ok well good night." Brittany gave them a smile and kissed them both on the check before heading back into the living room.
The movie had finished by now and so Brittany had the task of waking everybody up and sending them all off to bed so Santa could come. Brittany knew Santa wasn't real anymore but she still loved the idea of it and still thought it was all kind of magical. Brittany turned the TV off and flipped on the big lights and went to wake Santana up first. She gently shook her wife's shoulder to get her to wake up, when that didn't work Brittany kissed her. Sometimes when they were younger Brittany liked to pretend she was Prince Charming and Santana was Sleeping Beauty and that she had to kiss her to wake her up. Mostly because whenever she did kiss her Santana would in fact wake up just like she had right now. One time Brittany actually made Santana dress up as a princess and Brittany dressed up as prince charming just so they could recreate that scene…they were ten at the time.
"Mmmm hey hot stuff." Santana grinned and stretched her arms out a little.
"Hey sexy lady." Brittany grinned back
"What time is it?" Santana yawned as she sat up.
"Nearly midnight, everybody feel asleep." Brittany replied
"We should get home...where's Ducky?" Santana asked as she looked around the room.
Brittany just pointed upstairs telling her that Sofia was staying the night tonight. Santana just rolled her eyes and nodded in understanding. She was a little more relaxed than Quinn was on the whole physical aspect of their daughters relationship and she does make fun of Sofia about it on occasion mostly to just embarrass her but even still Santana didn't like to think about it too much because she was still her little girl. But she will admit that it eased her mind significantly that Sofia was dating a girl because ever since Sofia became a teenager Santana had this fear of her daughter telling her that she messed up and got pregnant.
"Come on help me wake your Mami and the rest, I'll carry Ben home so don't bother waking him." Brittany instructed
"Okie dokie" Santana yawned again then reached over to gently shake Rachel's leg to get her to wake up.
It was well past midnight when Quinn and Rachel said a final goodnight to everyone because they didn't have any spare rooms Rachel's dads were going to be spending the night at Judy and Marcus's place that night. They quickly went around locking everything up and checking on their kids. Quinn went down to the basement to check on Max and his two mommies. They were all sound asleep. Rachel checked on Toby and then Charlie while Quinn checked on Grace only to regret it the second she opened the door because as much as she loved Sofia she did not want to see her asleep in bed naked with her little girl who was also naked.
When they had checked in on everyone Rachel and Quinn grabbed all the presents and placed them under the tree. All the kids knew Santa wasn't real but Quinn and Rachel still did the presents on Christmas Eve just to keep that little bit of magic in their Christmases.
It was late by the time they finally got into bed the couple were exhausted. As much as they loved Christmas it was also very stressful with having everyone over and making all the food and the big clean up on Boxing Day. Add to the fact that they still did some of the Jewish rituals and traditions. Rachel and Quinn had let their children decide which faith they wanted to be a part of and didn't push them to be either Jewish or Christian. But out of their children Grace was the only one who identified as being Jewish. Toby believed in god but he didn't believe in or agree with the dogma of certain religions so he was more agnostic than anything and Charlie was just a free spirit at heart she just believed in loving everyone and being kind to each other.
"I'm so tired...I think I'm too tired to sleep." Quinn groaned as she cuddled up to her wife
"Me too...and we haven't even started Christmas Day yet." Rachel yawned
"We need to talk to Grace and Sofia." Quinn told her
"Why?"
"They're naked again." Quinn grumbled
Rachel just chuckled and nodded. They've had to speak to them several times reminding them of their rule. That they were free to express their love with each other as long as no one is in the house when they do it. It was the same rule for Hannah and Becky.
"It's Christmas honey...we can let it go just this once." Rachel yawned again
"But it's icky...she's my little girl." Quinn mumbled as her eyes began to droop.
"Shhh Quinn...let's just sleep now." Rachel gently patted her wife's arm
"Kay...merry Christmas Rach." Quinn murmured placing a sweet kiss on her lips before settling down next to her wife.
"Merry Christmas Quinn." Rachel replied and then drifted off to sleep.
