A/N: SO SORRY FOR THE SLOW UPDATES! I was having what my school calls a 'hell week'. Über sorry people! However on a happy note: 36 CHAPTERS! AHHHHH!
"Kiss me?" Rachel suggested as she put her socked feet into Quinn's lap. Quinn jotted it down on a notepad and bit her lip. Her pink lipstick getting onto her teeth a little
"Everything by Buble" Rachel nodded eagerly and Quinn wrote it down. Santana and Noah entered, the Cheerio stopped short but Noah pushed her forward to keep walking.
"It's out house still" He assured her and his glares never left Rachel and Quinn who were ignoring them and he sat across from them
"Not since they invaded it," She said pointing at Quinn and Rachel with her feet. The two girls ignored their (step) sisters jeering and continued discussing song names for the dinner/party after the vows.
"How about the thong song?" Santana said waggling her eyes. Noah snorted as he pulled out the footrest with a lever. It popped up and he placed his stinky feet on top of it
"Nah, Blame it on the boogie. MJ people, c'mon" Quinn snorted now although Rachel tried to non-verbally give her a warning with her eyes.
"This is why you should join New Directions," Quinn said and the room grew silent. It was like she had pushed a switch that just sucked any possible nice confrontations with Santana and Noah out the window. Rachel sighed and picked up the wedding binder that sat on the table next to the couch
"Let's go," She said and Quinn linked arms with her and walked out.
"Wait" Santana called and she ran towards them, stopping them from leaving. Noah jumped up and ran to push his sisters side
"If the dorks wanna leave, let 'em" He said and then recoiled as Santana jumped up and smacked him on the arm. "OW! This was your idea! Why are you smacking me?"
"I like making fun of RuPaul and Q too but enough is enough" Santana said "If they don't think of real songs then the wedding is gonna suck with old Yiddish tunes and stuff" Noah thought about that for a moment before stepping to the side "Thank you" Santana said stepping to the side as well "Sorry" She muttered under her breath and Quinn barley caught it, Rachel didn't at all
"Gee, thanks" Rachel said sarcastically and left. Quinn followed but she turned her head towards Santana and sent her an almost not there smile which made Santana's heart swell with joy. But she was still gonna make fun of Rachel's reindeer sweater tomorrow
ooOOOooooOoo
"I HAVE IT!" Noah yelled as the girls ate breakfast that morning. Shelby was showering and Russell left for work already. Quinn and Rachel were sitting centimeters apart while Santana quietly ate her cereal on the other end. Noah ran down the stairs with a frame in his hand and a picture inside of it. He waited until all eyes were on him before turning the picture to face the front
It was a collage of old pictures of Shelby. There was one on her wedding day and her bat mitzvah. There were also pictures of her with Noah, Santana and Rachel as a baby, the newest one when Rachel was 10. Rachel gasped and fingered the wooden frame
"Noah, it's lovely and mom will love it as a present" Rachel exclaimed, a smile stretching from cheek to cheek
"Present? This is something old" Rachel looked up at Noah and snorted.
"N-Noah" She stuttered while Quinn and Santana giggle snorted behind her. He placed the picture on the counter and crossed his arms.
"What's so darn funny?" He asked clearly annoyed. He was never good at hiding his emotions that's why he held the highest record of visits to the principle office (There was no detention in elementary/middle school) ever in Lincoln Elementary School history because he was always getting caught.
"The 'something old' is an item of clothing like a piece of fabric from her first wedding dress or bat mitzvah dress" Noah's eyes grew wide like saucers and his cheeks flushed red. Rachel felt bad for her brother; knowing too many time what it was like to be humiliated "B-but I'm sure mom will love it as a present" Noah nodded less eagerly though
"Ya just slap a bow on it and it'll be fine" Quinn assured him picking up on Rachel's idea. Noah looked over their heads and full on stared at Santana until she looked up from her Cheerio's. She put the spoon down and shrugged her shoulders
"I can gift wrap it if you want" She offered and Noah smiled.
"Thanks" He said before taking off back up the stairs. Rachel smiled; everything was going in her favor this week.
OoOOOooooOoo
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T COMPETE?!" Rachel screamed at her gymnastic team, each holding an icepack or cane. They were all in brutal condition except for Mercedes who wasn't a Cheerio. Each one scattered on the bleachers trying to avoid looking at their murderous captain
"Sue put us through a vigorous practice. I'll be sore all week," Mindy said and she leaned on Paris (Another Junior). There were mumbled agreements and Rachel looked close to tears
"Where is Sue?" She asked and the mumbles grew silent
"Are you insane? Your just a freshman Corcoran, you have time to live!" Paris exclaimed and there were small titters scattered around the room. Rachel rolled her eyes
"Where is she?" She asked again but with more force and this time she got an answer.
"In her office" Santana told her and Quinn smacked her with the arm not currently held in a makeshift sling from the nurse "OW! What?"
"I want my sister to live through the wedding" Quinn said and Rachel hid her beaming smile behind her clipboard. Quinn and her had decided to drop the 'step' thing weeks ago, which for some reason was the same week Santana spent all her allowance on slushies.
"Mercedes, follow me" Rachel snapped and Quinn groaned in pain as she stood up. However she was too slow and Rachel and Mercedes were already out of the gym
"I feel bad, like I just sent a gazelle in the path of a lion" Brittany said and for once she actually made sense.
