Thanks for waiting guess, I really hope you enjoy this one.

Quinn's POV

"Quinn what are you doing?" Brittany asked from where she was standing, exactly opposite of me in the kitchen. The newly renamed Snow was running around, trying to elude me, but I wasn't going to give up any time soon. I finally grabbed him and lifted him up in the air, giving him a kiss on his nose before reaching on the counter and grabbing a bow tie.

"Dressing him up, duh." I told Brittany who laughed and took a sip out of a wine glass filled with orange juice.

"I've never understood why this is your favorite holiday. Like Halloween or Christmas, those can be favorite holidays but New Years Eve? Come on, weird much." I ignored Brittany and tied the festive bow tie around Snow's neck.

"I like new starts, they make me feel determined and happy, don't judge me." I said setting Snow back down on the ground and checking the time. "People should be getting here soon…did you get white wine too? That's Kurt's new thing, remember." Brittany nodded and picked up the bottle out of the crate of many bottles filled with liquor to show me.

"Don't worry, I took care of all the liquor, Rachel's got the snacks, Sugar clearly covered the decorations." We both looked out into the living room which was covered in party favors, and streamers, balloons and everything else Sugar had bought. "And you and Santana have the food." I checked my watch again, it was 9 o'clock.

"Speaking of which she should be back…" The door opened and in came Santana followed by Sam and Mike.

"Guess who I picked up on the way in." Santana walked over and put all the groceries on the counter. We now had enough food to feed a militia, but I couldn't even focus because Santana looked so cute. She looked like she got in a fight with a snowman and lost. Her nose had a reddish hue, and when I covered her cheeks with my hands, they were freezing.

"You should've worn a ski mask out there." I joked. "Come on, let's get this snow off you." I pulled her into the guest bathroom and pulled off her hat, she tugged off her jacket.

"Oddly enough winter is my favorite season." She said as she shook all the snow off her body in a couple of rapid shakes. She pulled off her boots and gave me a smile. "All clean."

"You look adorable; I wanna keep you all to myself." I said as I held on to her fuzzy sweater.

"In this tiny little bathroom? It's a little small for some lovin'." Santana said as she moved closer to me.

"That didn't stop us before." I said before kissing. Santana pulled back as a laugh escaped her lips.

"That was a little different." Santana assured me. "Rachel and Sugar wouldn't leave, Beth was asleep in our bedroom, and you were so fucking horny that I had to do something about it." I blushed and pushed her playfully back against the sink. "What?"

"Nothing I just…am really happy that I get to spend my favorite holiday with you. Even if you are wearing my sweater." Santana smiled and leaned into another kiss, this one felt different, chaste, sweet, longing. I felt like I was missing something, or she was, we were interrupted by the knocking on the door. I could tell that Santana didn't want to open it, but she did anyway.

"Yes." Santana said.

Rachel and Kurt stuck their heads in the room, both their eyes going down to Santana's hat and discarded jacket. "Well, well, well, couldn't kept it in your pants for-." I tossed Santana's hat at Kurt head and he ducked under it. "Anyway, we were wonder two things, one is it kosher to start eating without our hosts present, and when should we wake up Beth?"

"We're coming now." I told them.

"Wanky." Santana muttered behind me, earning a hard nudge in the stomach from me. Santana grabbed her jacket and hat and followed me out into the living room. I didn't realize that Blaine, Sam, Buddy, and Sugar were already here. Sam and Buddy had already started on eating the wings so their was no use in telling them to wait on the pizza.

"I'm gonna go wake up Beth." Santana said. I walked into the living room and sat down in front of the TV next to Sugar.

"Hey there girly, big day huh?" Sugar asked me.

"Yeah, kinda, I hope Santana won't be upset." I said quietly. "I mean I know it is a big deal, for both of us."

"Are you kidding? She's going to be so happy, if it's even possible she'll love you even more." Sugar assured me. There was a knock at the door and I moved to get up, but Beth came running through the room still wearing her onsie pajamas, yelling I got it I got it as she rushed towards the door.

Santana came running from Beth's room with and exasperated sigh. "I tried to stop her, but she kicked me." Santana said as she wrapped her arm around my waist. Beth opened the door and in came Mr. and Mrs. Lopez. I could feel Santana's grip tighten around me, I didn't know if she was shocked, angry, or excited. "Mom, dad." Santana walked over and engulfed them both into a hug. I could tell that some people were watching, others weren't trying to intrude so they pretended to watch TV.

Beth was looking up at Santana just begging with her eyes for an explanation. "What are you doing here?" Santana asked them with this adorable little grin on her face. The only thing I could imagine, was a younger Santana, wearing glasses, and smiling at her parents just like she was doing now.

"Pregunta a su novia." Mr. Lopez said with a small nod towards me. Santana looked over her shoulder and waved me over. I walked over and she took my hand.

"What'd you do?" Santana asked me.

"I may have invited one or two extra guests." I said before squeezing her hand.

"Que hermosa! Ella es perfecta!" Mrs. Lopez grabbed onto my other hand and gave me a warm smile. "Santana, you never told us how gorgeous she was."

"Si, si mama soy un idiota." I looked over at Santana and beamed, I don't know what was sexier, her speaking Spanish or her doing everything else.

"Hey!" Beth said nudging Santana's leg. "Who are they?"

Santana bent down and lifted Beth up into her arms. "These are my parents." Santana told her. Beth's jaw practically fell off her face.

"They're your parents! Can they play with me? Do they like ice cream?" Beth climbed out of Santana's arms and grabbed onto Mr. Lopez's hand. "Wanna see something cool?" Beth asked him.

"Of course sweetheart." Mr. Lopez said following Beth towards my mini art studio.

"That's Beth, Quinn's daughter." Santana explained to her mom.

"How precious, Quinn you should've told me you had a daughter, I would've bought a gift for her." Mrs. Lopez said with a smile.

"Watch out Quinn, if you think I spoil Beth, my mom does that times ten." Santana explained. "Mom I know that look on your face, don't even start-."

"Does Santana treat you right?" Mrs. Lopez asked me. Santana rolled her eyes and wrapped her arm around my shoulders.

"Of course she does, she's perfect to me." I told her.

"Does she spend enough time with you and your daughter? Sometimes she goes overboard when it comes to work, and thing like that."

"She spends more than enough time with me, I love her." I kissed Santana's cheek and her mom beamed. "Want me to get you something to eat?" I asked Mrs. Lopez.

"Sure." She replied already walking towards the kitchen, I was about to follow when Santana grabbed my hand and pulled me back towards her.

"What did I do to deserve someone so special?" She asked me quietly.

"You didn't have to do anything, it might help that you're so cute." We kissed, today felt so different between us. Everything felt ten times more intense. Buddy's cat calling forced us to pull apart and I grabbed on to Santana's belt buckle, pulling her towards the couch where I sat her down. "Relax, have fun tonight."

Santana's POV

This was so perfect, this might actually be my favorite holiday at this point. I loved having everyone around, especially my parents. I hadn't seen them for awhile, we'd talked on the phone on occasion, but Quinn went above and beyond here. I loved her so much, that why this whole night was going to be the best night of my life.

"Next year where gonna go and see the ball drop live." Blaine said.

"Maybe when Beth is like…18." Quinn said as she handed me a beer and sat down on my lap. "What do you think Santana?"

"Whenever you want to go babe." I told her. "Ten minutes until show time." I whispered in her ear. "You know how this is your favorite holiday?" Quinn nodded. "Well I have a tradition of my own, wanna join?" Quinn stood up and grabbed the front of my shirt pulling me up to my feet.

"Where to?" Quinn asked. I pulled her closer and whispered in her ear.

"Bedroom." Quinn seemed more than happy to follow me and as soon as we walked into the bedroom Quinn pushed me down onto the bed. "This is not what I meant."

"Are you complaining?" She teased as she straddled my hips.

"I am complaining, complain, complain…see that's me complaining." I lifted her up and sat her back down on the ground. We walked out onto the balcony and looked out towards the street below. It was snowing and although I was wearing a sweater, Quinn only had on a long sleeve shirt. "Let me grab you a jacket." I went inside and grabbed a winter coat, holding it out for Quinn to pull on.

Quinn put on the puffy winter coat and I laughed at how adorable she looked. "Keep laughing, I'll beat you up later." She joked. "So what's your typically tradition? Freezing your butt off with an amazing view?"

"It's not actually a tradition; I just…want to start something new with you. Coming up here, starting the New Year up here alone with you." I grabbed onto her hands and kissed each one of them. "I didn't think that we'd ever make it here. When I first saw you, that night, you were flustered and I was just doing my job and then…"

"We fell in love." Quinn said with a smile.

"Time?" Quinn held up her countdown clock to the New Year, and I saw that we had 3 minutes and 37 seconds left. "Thank you for inviting my parents here, it means a lot to me."

"It was kinda selfish actually; I wanted to meet them too." Quinn explained. "They're sweet people, perfect people, now I know what made you the way that you are."

"A lot of things made me the way that I am." I told her.

"And I love that about you. I will never understand why there was any hesitation about me moving in with you." Quinn said. "I can be dumb like that sometimes."

"Not dumb, just nervous. We were both scared, we've been through so much in our lives, it's nice to finally crash land." I checked my timer, 30 seconds. "This year is going to be different, I can see it already." 20 seconds. "You, me, and Beth against the world." 15 seconds. "Quinn I love you more than anything." 5 seconds. I pulled her towards me and kissed her like I never have before. I wanted her to feel the fire, I wanted her to understand that this moment would change us forever. As I pulled back I reached into my back pocket.

"You're supposed to wait till midnight to kiss me goober." Quinn said laughing.

"I couldn't wait. I can't wait for a lot." I pulled the tiny velvet box out of my back pocket and kneeled in front of her.

"San what are you-."

"Don't speak, that's an order. It's my turn to tell you what you mean to me." Quinn nodded her head and let me to continue. "You changed my life. You changed the way I do my job, every time I think about us, I think that I don't even come close to deserving someone like you. But I have you, and I want to have you forever." I opened the box and showed her the ring. "Lucy Quinn Fabray, will you-."

"Yes!" She said without even letting me finish.

"Yeah?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll marry you." I put the ring on her finger and smiled marveling at how it looked on her hand. "I'm so totally ready for a new year with you."

Tell me what you think.
