(I apologize last month was a difficult month. Thank you for sticking around, while this story is almost complete there will be others in this 'What if' universe)

Lima/pool house

"How do I look?" Santana asked brushing off her shirt before looking up, "Eyes up here Pierce." Santana chuckled, Brittany was leering at Santana's chest, her red button up was opened enough to show off a large amount of cleavage, not exactly Santana's fault.

"Not my fault you're hot." Brittany shrugged smirking and wrapping her arms around Santana's waist she pulled the Latina close lowering her face to hers.

"Button up or get a room." Quinn rolled her eyes, shaking her head Santana planted a quick kiss on Brittany's lips before stepping away from the pouting blonde.

"Tell me again why you're here and not at the party with your mom and Beth?" Santana tilted her head. "Or at least lie and make it believable, you know, tell me you had to get away to grade papers." Santana smirked taking in the red and white dress and sweater combo that Quinn was wearing. "Festive Q, but you still look like a kindergarten teacher."

"I hate you." Quinn rolled her eyes shaking her head "And she's in a sweater too."

"And pants that show off her ass." Santana winked at Brittany checking her out again, Brittany was keeping it simple a fuzzy white sweater paired with tight red pants.

"You like them? I wore them just for you." Brittany giggled giving a spin, shaking her head Quinn sat at the kitchen counter.

"I do." Santana smirked, she knew they were pissing off Quinn.

"You're in leggings, she's in jeans and I'm in a dress yet I'm the one getting picked on?" Quinn huffed.

"You're a MILF and you're hiding in..." Santana gestured to Quinn's outfit "that."

"She's hiding from Sam." Brittany clapped excitedly understanding, Santana smirked, Quinn was trying to pick a fight, Quinn only picked fights when she was nervous.

"I am not!" Quinn glared.

"Are to." Brittany and Santana said together laughing.

"I hate you both." Quinn muttered as they both hugged her.

"I thought you told Trouty how you felt yesterday?" Santana asked.

"Not something you bring up at breakfast with your mom and her boyfriend." Quinn shook her head, her breakfast with the girls had been canceled. "It was slightly awkward but we made it through breakfast, Mom took me shopping for a dress, Sam hung out with Geoffry and then it was dinner and never alone."

Santana shook her head rubbing Quinn's arm. "You need to tell him, he kissed you back, he has to like you."

"You don't kiss people you don't like." Brittany agreed."At least I don't because that would be weird and San would get mad." Brittany rambled.

Santana smirked gently interrupting Brittany."Come on Q you know what you have to say," Santana's eyes sparkled mischievously as she teased Quinn in a light breathy voice "I love you so much Ken."

"I hate Rachel for that." Quinn muttered.

"What's the worse that can happen?" Brittany asked.

"He could say no." Quinn shook her head moving away from Santana she froze hearing Sam say.

"Or Ken could say he still loves his Barbie."

Brittany squealed clapping, "Yay!"

"We'll be going now, you two talk." Santana pulled her leather jacket on before picking up Brighton and the babies backpack, Brittany smiled picking up Isabelle. " No sex on my bed." Santana warned heading out the door with a giggling Brittany close behind.

Quinn blushed slowly turning around to face Sam, he was grinning. "Um...hi." Quinn bit her lower lip.

"Hi." Sam stepped closer taking her hand in his.

New York

Popcorn and Christmas movies, it wasn't perfect, she knew her dads were trying to make their marriage work, they were sitting next to one another on the couch talking about the different things they had seen earlier in the day. She wondered if they went to visit Christopher together, so far the photos she'd seen had them together with Christopher. "I hear you thinking." Jesse wrapped around her from behind.

Rachel sighed "I wonder if they're just pretending."

"Don't think about it, they're here to spend time with you, just think about that." Jesse kissed her temple.

Laughing LeRoy asked "Sweetie where did you find this movie?"

Hiram agreed amused "A singing Ebeneezer Scrooge."

"Oh it's Brittany's," Rachel slipped from Jesse's embrace going to her dads "she lets us borrow movies, Sam brought up all the Christmas ones before he left."

"How did we miss this one." LeRoy asked Hiram, both men chuckling as Scrooge danced and sang, it didn't matter that it was a Christmas movie, it was a musical.

"Probably because he's not Barbra." Jesse chuckled.

"This could be true." Hiram nodded pointing at Jesse before turning his attention back to the screen.

"Brittany loves musicals, she calls them live action Disney." Rachel explained going back to the kitchen to check on dinner again. Chewing her lip Rachel asked the question that she really wanted an answer too "Does Finn really let you see the baby when ever you want?"

LeRoy smiled nodding "Yes, he's letting us see him when we ask, he's invited us for Christmas but we told him we were coming here, he's not leaving us out."

"Have you told Shelby?" Hiram asked, Rachel nodded.


Lima/Finn's place

Skyping was easier then he thought it would be, holding Christopher so he was visible Finn smiled talking "I wasn't sure you would answer."

"Rachel let me know you'd be calling." Shelby smiled.

"Marley showed me how to Skype and Rachel gave me your Skype stuff and with everyone busy tomorrow..." Marley's hand on his shoulder made Finn realize he was rambling. "I thought you'd like to see your grandson."

Shelby chuckled "Thank you Finn, Michelle come see your nephew." Shelby called, moving out of screen Shelby picked up the toddler, when Quinn decided to keep Beth she'd aimed Shelby at another teen little brunette toddler smiled at the baby on the screen. "That's your nephew Christopher, he's your sister Rachel's baby." Shelby explained.

"We see him?"

"Oh...um." Shelby was taken by surprise.

"Any time you're in Lima." Finn promised.

"Thank you Finn."

Finn shrugged with a grin saying "You're his grandma." like it explained everything. "Oh if you give me your address I can send you pictures if you'd like, we took Santa pictures."

"That would be nice." Shelby smiled.


Lima/Pierce house

Coming in through the back door didn't get them out of a thing, they were pounced on the moment they stepped in the house. "There's my grand babies." Whitney held her hands out, Brittany handed her Isabelle while Santana handed Brighton over to Pierce, the baby liked him best, "You girls put your things in Brittany's room."

After putting the bottles in the fridge Santana nodded following Brittany up the back stairs "This is going to be as bad as Thanksgiving, I'm going to running around asking people if they've seen a Latina baby and her blonde twin." Brittany giggled, it had been slightly different at the Lopez house, it had been '¿Has visto a mi bebé blanco y su hermana?'

"Looks like my room is the purse room." Brittany didn't like people in her room.

"Just Q." Santana said throwing her jacket on the bed, she recognized Quinn's jacket and Beth's backpack, the man's jacket she was guessing belonged to Sam.

"Okay then." Brittany saw two play pens leaning against her dresser. "That's okay."

Linking pinkies they closed the door behind them before heading down stairs, "Are you sure you want to tell everyone tonight? I mean we don't have to." Santana glanced up at Brittany.

"Is it because some of yours reacted weird when we told them?" Brittany asked softly. Santana tried not to let it show, her parents were happy, Abuela was concerned but that one she knew was going to happen, some of the others just ignored, "Baby, the relatives I care about love you, I don't care what the others think, pretty sure they're just jealous." Brittany shrugged "You're hot, I'm hot, plus my parents and grandparents love you, they can't say that about their husbands, wives, girlfriends and boyfriends. And I don't mind sharing cutest grand babies with Quinn, Beth's adorable."

"That she is." Santana agreed giving a small smile, all the girls were wearing the dresses they wore for their Santa photos. "Well, let's wait for Q and Trouty, I don't know if he knows."

"Okay, oh don't forget we promised Lord and Lady Tubbington a plate." Brittany peaked around the corner at the top of the stair case.

"I'll sneak them a plate." Santana promised.

"Ready?" Brittany asked.

"I'm okay." Santana promised lifting her chin up. "I'm just as good as they are."

"Better, much sexier." bringing Santana's hand up to her mouth Brittany kissed her knuckles, giving Santana a wink she lead her down the stairs and into the sea of Fallons and Pierces.

"At least with your dad's side here I don't stick out like a sore thumb." Santana glanced around the room, Quinn looked like she belonged, like she was born into the Fallon family, mostly blonde with an occasional light red head. Santana knew she could almost get lost in the Pierce side, they were her height and shared the same black hair. It was nice to see that not all Pierces and Fallons got along, Santana could see they were separated into groups. Geoffry and Judy were talking with Brittany's parents, Brittany felt Santana tense up seeing Brighton sleeping in Geoffry's arms, Beth was in Judy's.

"Baby it's okay."

Santana shook her head, it didn't matter that she'd been telling Quinn he was a nice guy and to give him a chance, men just made her uneasy. "Sorry sweetie, it's just the neighborhood I grew up in, not every nice man was a nice man." One too many grown and drunk man grabbing at her when she lived in Lima Heights Adjacent, even family friends.

"I promise Uncle Geoffry will not hurt the girls, he was like a second dad to me, when I came out to my parents as liking girls too, they were like okay." Brittany shrugged then smiled, "When I came out to Uncle Geoffry about liking girls, he just laughed and said 'Me too.' some of the others," Brittany nodded to the group of blondes keeping to themselves "were not as nice, Uncle Geoffry told me just be me and I would find who I was meant for and ignore mean people."

Santana shook her head asking "If you were supposed to ignore mean people how in the hell did I end up with you?"

"You weren't mean to me," Brittany shrugged "you smiled at me and you were mean to the people that were mean to me."

"I smiled at you because you smiled at me." Santana admitted.

"Locker door closed and my angel appeared, how could I not smile." Brittany winked.

"Such a smooth talker." Santana lifted her face to Brittany who instantly kissed her.

"Again? Get a room."

Santana smirked looking over her shoulder, Sam was grinning and holding Quinn's hand. "About damn time." Santana reached back for Quinn's hand. "Come on Lucifer let's go meet the family." keeping Sam's hand Quinn took hold of Santana'a free hand, smiling Brittany lead the way to her parents, Geoffry and Judy.

"Hey it's us." Sam looked around for the speakers the music was coming from.

Brittany listened and simply nodded only giving an answer when Santana looked at her confused when she heard it too "So as part of a Glee fundraiser Finn sold Christmas music CDs with songs from us and the new kids, Mom and dad bought one of each, a lot of people bought them."

"Way to go Finnocence." Santana nodded.

"Yea way better than the calendar." Brittany nodded.

"Calendar?" Santana stopped causing everyone else to as well "Please tell me there isn't a calendar with a scantily clad you in it? Because I will track down everyone..."

"Calm down baby." Brittany shook her head giving Santana's hand a squeeze, trying to call down Santana she explained "I only took the pictures, it was the boys."

"The boys?" eyebrow arched Quinn looked back at Sam, who gave an embarrassed smile.

"Oh please, all of New York has seen his half naked self on the side of the bus." Santana scoffed, Brittany giggled at the duos possessiveness.

"Let's get something to drink then see mom and dad." Brittany tugged the group towards the bar, Santana was surprised to find an actual bartender behind it. "Four waters." Brittany held up four fingers, Santana released Quinn's hand passing two waters to her. "Look up." Brittany squealed pointing, Santana grinned, mistletoe hung right above them, Brittany grinned, leaving her water on the bar she grabbed Santana by the shirt pulling her forward for a kiss while Quinn and Sam exchanged a quick chaste kiss behind them.

"Awe, young love."

Brittany blushed releasing Santana's shirt, clearing her throat Brittany pointed up "Mistletoe."

"Like you need any help getting kisses." Susan Fallon laughed.

Adjusting her shirt Santana didn't look at all ashamed for her part in the near make out, she just opened her water and took a drink while Brittany asked. "Where's grandpa?"

"With the babies." Mrs. Fallon gestured to the kitchen, the Pierces were in there too.

"We should do it now, they're all in one spot." Brittany bounced grabbing Santana's hand, Santana shrugged.

"Totally up to you B."

Brittany squealed pulling Santana to the kitchen with her, not wanting to be left alone Quinn followed with Sam, Mrs. Fallon smiled bringing up the rear calling to her husband when they were close enough "My dear see who I found under the mistletoe." Quinn blushed, Sam gave an embarrassed smile but Santana smirked still pleased with herself.

"I'm glad you're all here, we have news." Brittany beamed.

"What is it sweetie?" Whitney asked.


New York

"Good night honey." Hiram kissed Rachel's forehead "We'll see you in the morning." she'd given up her bed to her dads while Jesse took the couch, she was bunking in with Kurt, who wasn't home yet.

Part of her nightly ritual was checking Facebook, she nearly dropped her phone seeing Brittany's status update "Holy crap! Jesse!"

"What? Everything okay?" Jesse and her dads met her by Kurt's drape.

"I'm reading this right, right?" Rachel held her phone out to them to read.

It was a picture of two left hands with rings captioned with 'My hottie said yes.' with a like from Tina.


Lima/ Finn's place

"They did it." Finn grinned looking at Santana's Facebook post, it was a picture of Santana and Brittany's left hands with their engagement rings, slightly out of focus behind their hands was the duo kissing and a beaming Quinn.

"Yay." Marley smiled. It was no longer a secret, now everyone knew the duo was engaged.

Standing up Finn decided to take his cue from the girls, taking Marley's hand he walked her over to the couch having her sit next to him, a nervous smile sat on her lips as he ran his thumb over her knuckles. "I love you." yep, he just blurted it out surprising himself and Marley.

"Oh."

"Don't run...please." Finn didn't know what she was thinking but her eyes were darting around in a panic.

Biting her lower lip Marley blurted "I love you too."

A crooked grin slowly appeared on Finn's face "Really?"

"Really." Marley shyly smiled back.

"Wait, is that why things have been weird?" Finn asked.

"Yea." Marley nodded "I kinda blurted it out to our parents right before we went caroling."

"Oh." Finn nodded still grinning "I thought I did something wrong."

"No." Marley shook her head "It just scared me that I felt this way this fast."

"We go at your pace." Finn promised.
