Next June

Finn brought in a gigantic tub of popcorn and passed it to Quinn.

"Do you guys think they're freaking out yet?" he asked, smiling over at Beth.

"Santana more than Rachel," Beth agreed.

"I'm surprised you aren't going crazy too," Abby said as she rocked Corbin-Finn back to sleep.

"I don't need to worry. You all know she's going to win," Beth stated.

Meanwhile, at the Tony's, Santana was panicking. She was panicking because she knew Rachel should win, she just didn't know if she would win. She'd been panicking since they'd gotten dressed earlier that evening. Next to her, Rachel was a picture of elegant tranquility. That was lucky - one of them needed to be calm tonight.

When Hugh Jackman announced Best Female Lead, Rachel let out a quiet breath and took Santana's hand.

"The nominees are..."

The world went fuzzy for a moment. This was the moment they'd both been picturing since... Well, forever for Rachel and since junior year of college for her. What would she do if Rachel lost? In fact, what would she do if Rachel won? She hadn't planned anything big. She should have planned something!

"And the winner is… Rachel Berry, A Kind of Delirium."

Rachel leaned over to kiss Santana before walking up to accept her award.

"RACHEL!" Beth yelled, launching herself at them as soon as they came through the door later that night.

Santana laughed as Beth did her best to tackle both of them at once. She looked up and spotted Quinn grinning brightly in the doorway. She smiled back. "I'm guessing Abby and Finn took off with the little dude?"

"Yeah. They said congrats, and they'll see us tomorrow for brunch."

"We have to celebrate!" Beth said.

"We will," Rachel said. "In fact...we're going to Disney to do just that."

Santana, Quinn and Rachel had to put a hand over Beth's mouth to stifle the excited scream.

"Beth!"

"Hush!"

"They're going to call CPS on us!" were the three adult responses.

"But Disney!" Beth said again, in a quieter voice. "And…" She made a little half turn to Quinn, but stopped.

"Yes, Quinn is coming with us," Santana said, smiling and correctly guessing the girl's question. "You two can sing Frozen stuff to your hearts' content at Magic Kingdom."

"YAY!" She hugged each of them, Rachel the longest and tightest, before dashing upstairs to her room.

"Weird...you'd think she wouldn't be able to sleep after all that," Quinn said.

"She's not going to sleep," Rachel answered.

"Nah, she's researching how to get through the lines for rides the fastest. And which places to eat. And probably the cast schedules for all the characters. And putting all of that into a spreadsheet and/or Powerpoint."

"...and we're absolutely sure that it was Puck that got me pregnant, not Rachel?" Quinn asked.

Santana cackled and Rachel rolled her eyes.

"Anyway," Quinn said. "I'll see you guys tomorrow at brunch. And maybe you can fill me in on this trip I just found out about."

"It's late, Quinn," Rachel said. "You don't have to go. Stay in the guest room."

"Yeah," Santana agreed.

Quinn grinned at them. "No way. The kid's going to be passed out in less than thirty, and I don't want to listen to your private 'celebration' afterwards." She hugged both of them as they laughed. All three knew it was true. "Congratulations, Rachel. You are amazing."

"Thanks, Quinn. You sure you won't stay?"

"Nope. You two go have fun." With a wink, she strode out of the house.

Santana pulled Rachel into a hug. "Well...you heard her. Though I think we're both about to experience an adrenaline crash."

Rachel laughed as they climbed the stairs. "About to? I'm in the middle of mine. I can't think of a more perfect day. Finding out the adoption's going through, the Tony's, Disney in a month, and…. I really think Quinn's here to stay."

"Me too. But seriously? If she and Beth sing Let It Go the whole time we're on vacay, I'm feeding both of them to Hook's alligator."

"Crocodile, love," Rachel said.

Santana pulled Rachel into her arms again. "Yeah, that. I love you."

"I love you back. Come on, let's go to bed."

FIN

When you come around,

I'll be there for you.

Don't have to be alone with what you're going through.
