Hi! Here is chapter 11 :)
It was Christmas Eve. Jeff had asked Quinn if she wanted to spend Christmas with his family, at his grandparents. Quinn had said yes, and was actually really excited to finally get to meet Jeff's family. Jeff had four younger siblings, and Quinn was especially excited to meet them; she loved kids. They got to his grandparents house around 7. Their house was a few miles outside of Westerville. Quinn was just staying over one night, so she and Jeff had to drive in separate cars. They knocked on the front door and Jeff was engulfed in a ton of hugs. Jeff's little sister, Sophie, was 5. She had light blonde hair, and bright green eyes. Quinn could tell just by how Sophie hugged Jeff, that she loved him and they were very close. Jeff also had twin brothers, Andrew and Austin, and a baby brother named Harry. The twins looked nothing alike; one was rather tall and skinny, whilst the other was a few inches shorter, and a little chubbier. Quinn guessed they were 12 or so.
"She's pretty, Jeffieeee," Sophie whispered loudly into Jeff's ear.
"Yeah, I know," Jeff whispered back, making sure Quinn could hear.
….
Jeff introduced his mother and grandparents to Quinn.
"It's so nice to finally meet you! Jeff never shuts up about you," his mom said. Jeff blushed. She looked just like Jeff, but her hair was brown. She walked them down the hall and showed Quinn Jeff's room. There was a twin bed and a small desk. Quinn could tell Jeff didn't come home often. Quinn set her small bag, and the presents she had brought on the floor. Jeff sat his stuff down next to hers.
"We have an air mattress we can blow up for one of you, if you want," Jeff's grandma said.
"Oh, no, that's ok," Jeff said, blushing.
"Oh, well ok, now come back out to the kitchen, Sophie wants Quinn to help her bake cookies for Santa!" Jeff's grandma chuckled. Jeff looked at Quinn and asked,
"Do you want to?"
"I'd love to! I haven't baked in ages! C'mon, Jeff, you come too!" Quinn said, grabbing Jeff's hand and pulling him along with her to the kitchen. Sophie had a little apron on and was spreading out dough on the counter. She saw Quinn and Jeff and stopped what she was doing. She ran over to them handed them each and apron. Quinn put hers on, but Jeff hesitated.
"Aw, c'mon, Jeffie!" said Sophie.
"Yeah, c'mon, Jeffie!" Quinn agreed. Jeff put it on; Quinn and Sophie both giggled. Sophie grabbed Quinn and Jeff's hands and walked them over towards the counter. They took cookie cutters and made all kinds of shapes in the dough. Quinn carefully put them in the oven. They sat down at the kitchen table and talked about what they wanted for Christmas.
"So, Sophie, what did you ask Santa for Christmas?" Quinn asked her.
"Well, he already gave it to me! I asked for him to bring Jeffie home and for him to be happy. And he is! Aren't you?" Sophie asked Jeff. Quinn looked up at Jeff's face, and saw he was smiling.
"Yeah, I am," he said. Quinn smiled at him, as Sophie yawned.
"You can't be tired yet! We still have to frost the cookies!" Quinn said.
"I know, but its 9:00. Past my bedtime!" Sophie said.
"There are no bedtimes on Christmas Eve!" Jeff said. Quinn walked over and took the cookies out of the oven. They watched Frosty the Snowman, and then started frosting the cookies. Quinn made one that looked like Jeff, blazer and all. Jeff laughed at it and started making one to look like Quinn… but it didn't. Quinn thought it was adorable though. She took the cookie he made and set it next to hers on a plate, so it looked like they were holding hands. Sophie decorated one to look like Santa and put it on a different plate. They decorated the rest of them quickly; they were all tired. By the end there were four cookies on a plate for Santa. And the rest were sitting on the kitchen counter, besides the ones Quinn and Jeff made of each other. Those were still on the plate, "holding hands." Sophie was really getting tired now; it was 10:30. Jeff picked her up and gave her a piggyback ride all the way to her room. He lay her down on her bed. She rubbed her eyes and said,
"Will you guys sing me to sleep? A Christmas song pleeeease!" Quinn looked at Jeff and nodded.

Sophie clapped for them and said,
"You guys are soooooooooo good! You should do American Idol!"
Quinn giggled and said,
"I don't think so." She gave Sophie a hug, and then Jeff did as well.
"Goodnight, Sophie," they said in unison. They closed her door and walked to Jeff's room. The rest of the house was already in their bedrooms. Quinn grabbed her overnight bag and walked to the bathroom. She changed into one of Jeff's shirts and a pair of his boxers that she had. She walked back into Jeff's room, but he was already lying on his bed, asleep. Quinn giggled and lay down next to him. The bed was small, but comfortable. Quinn was cold, so she snuggled closer to Jeff. He was breathing heavy; she laid her head on his chest so she could feel his heartbeat. Quinn fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
…
Jeff woke up the next morning to the sound of his siblings running throughout the house. Quinn was still sleeping. Jeff put his hands on her hips and rolled onto his back so she was lying on top of him. She woke up and set her head on his chest. She heard the running outside their room and giggled.
"I like your family," she said.
"They like you too. Mom didn't know what to expect. Since you're uh—my first girlfriend," Jeff said, his face turning red.
"Nuh uh," Quinn said, putting her hands on his cheeks.
"Yeah huh," Jeff said. Quinn sat up and Jeff sat up along with her. She got off of Jeff and got his present. Jeff opened his present; inside was a Mcfly collection CD, with all of their songs, and some new bright pink American Eagle boxers. He set them down on the bed and kissed Quinn on the forehead.
"C'mon, that's all I get?" Quinn teased, leaning in for a real kiss. Jeff kissed her, resting his hands on her hips. She put her hands on his shoulders, deepening the kiss. Jeff squeezed her hips before pulling away. He got off the bed and grabbed Quinn's present. It was a tiny square box, with a green bow on top. Quinn opened it and looked at it in awe. Inside was a necklace with a diamond heart in the center, and a matching ring.
"Jeff I-, it must have cost a fortune!" Quinn said, putting the ring on; it was a perfect fit.
"Nah, besides, you're worth it," Jeff said, grabbing the necklace, and putting it on Quinn.
"Thank you, Jeff," Quinn said. She stood up next to Jeff and held his hand. She stroked his thumb.
"Thank you."
…
"Ah, here they are!" Jeff's grandpa said as Quinn and Jeff walked into the living room, holding presents.
"Presents!" Sophie exclaimed, walking over to Quinn and Jeff,
"Which one's for meeee?" Quinn handed her a present wrapped in pink paper with a blue bow on top. Sophie opened it with lightning speed. It was a One Direction CD.
"Trust me, you will fall in love with them," Quinn told Sophie. Quinn gave the twins gift cards to American Eagle, and she gave the baby a new teddy bear. Quinn got Jeff's mom and grandparents each gift cards to different stores. They all thanked her, and told her she hadn't needed to get them anything. Quinn soon realized she had to get back home to celebrate with her family, so she went and grabbed her stuff. She told Jeff's entire family goodbye, and that she hoped to see them soon. Jeff walked her to her car, but ran back inside. He came back out with the cookies they had made of each other. Jeff set the cookies inside her car and kissed her goodbye. Quinn mouthed,
"I love you," at him. He made a heart sign with his hand and winked. Quinn smiled, and ate their cookies.
