Chapter 50

Today was the day. Lily was due for a sound-check at 6:45. AM. Rachel willingly set her alarm and was given the daunting task of saving seats after dropping Lily off. The parade is pretty insane in itself, days before—let alone hours before. They had been a few times but had taken some time off and just enjoyed it from Kurt and Blaine's apartment. But since Lily would be at the end of the parade performing, they were going to make the effort to go watch her, of course. Rachel grabbed the clothes she had set out the night before and her make-up bag and silently left the bedroom so she wouldn't wake Quinn. She went down to the girls bathroom where she was surprised to see her 10-year old already applying her stage make-up.

"Lily," Rachel whispered as she entered the bathroom. Lily jumped on the counter and her hand went directly to her heart until she realized it was just her mom.

"Hi," she whispered back, loudly. Rachel shut the bathroom door and situated herself next to her daughter by the sink.

"How long have you been up?" Rachel asked as she brushed her teeth. Lily shrugged and looked at the clock on the counter.

"Since like…..4:30?" Rachel nearly choked on her toothbrush. It was 5:45.

"What? How?"

"I'm just SO excited!" Lily exclaimed. She jumped off the counter to wipe her hands on a towel by the shower. "This is better than any show, ever. Oh my gosh it's gonna be awesome." Rachel smiled at the enthusiasm but internally realized that Lily's adrenaline sure wasn't going to last all day and all night. Rachel quickly fixed Lily and herself a piece of toast to eat as they walked down into town. The streets were already bustling with crowds of people and Rachel grasped Lily's hand so she wouldn't lose her.

"I see Kristy!" Lily exclaimed, pulling Rachel's arm down a busy sidewalk. They reached a small group of Lily's cast mates and once Rachel got the high sign from the producer she said good-bye to Lily and off to stake out their position.

"Rachel!" Rachel spun around at the sound of her voice and saw Kurt and Trevor waving at her from a spot on the bleaches, not to far from the main stage where Lily was. They had taken over two sections of two rows and were huddled together with warm drinks and blankets.

"Morning guys!" Rachel said approaching them. "Happy Thanksgiving."

"Happy Thanksgiving Aunt Rachel!" Trevor said through sips of his hot chocolate. Rachel reached down to give him a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Will this be enough you think? I haven't watched this parade from this close in at least 8 years." Rachel scanned the rows and mentally counted the number of people they would be saving for.

"I think it should be good…you, Trev, Blaine, Me, Mom, Quinn, El, Abs, San, Britt and Maddy…."

"It's already getting pretty bad," Kurt began looking around at the crowd that was slowly beginning to form. "Can you get San and Britt to come down early?" Rachel shrugged and pulled out her phone from her coat. She took off her gloves and sent a quick text to the group telling them of their location in hopes they would come down and help relieve Kurt and Trevor of holding the spot. The last thing they wanted to do was lose it. Kurt handed Rachel a cup of steaming coffee, just the way she liked it, and Rachel happily sipped it as the three watched Lily's sound check.

. . . .

"Mmm it smells so good," Ella said walking into the kitchen. Abby was sitting on the counter mixing a large bowl of apples in cinnamon as Quinn prepared the pie crust.

"Morning El," Quinn smiled. Ella walked by and kissed her cheek before grabbing herself. "Can you grab the pumpkin pie mix from the pantry and start making it? The recipe is on the fridge under the calendar."

"How many pies are we making?" Abby asked. She took the spoon out of the bowl and began to lick the apple filling off. Quinn looked up and grabbed he bowl before she could transfer any more of her germs into it and Abby whined in protest.

"We're making two, Auntie Britt has made peach cobbler and nana is bringing cookies."

"Good lord," Ella muttered. "I think we're set until Christmas."

"You try entertaining for a dozen people, one of who is a die-hard vegan…" Quinn replied. Ella glanced to her mom and smiled as Quinn rolled her eyes. Her apple pie was vegan and Shelby was preparing a special Tofurky for Rachel. Other than that, she politely told her wife after they had volunteered to host Thanksgiving this year and that she was cooking for the majority and if she didn't want it she had to figure it out herself.

Quinn, Ella, and Abby enjoyed some waffles as their pies baked, filling the apartment with the scents of fall. The girls were off getting dressed for the parade as Quinn was doing her make-up in the bathroom. She heard the oven ding signaling that the pumpkin pie was done. The apple was already finished.

"I'll get it!" Ella called as Quinn set her eyeliner down.

"Thanks," Quinn called picking it back up. She was carefully tracing her lid and her hand jumped when she heard a crash and scream in the kitchen. She braced herself and looked at the eyeliner that had just gotten all over her eyelid.

"Mom…?" Ella's voice was small and shaking but Quinn could still hear her. Quinn hastily wiped her eye-make up off with a wipe and tossed it in the trash on her way into the kitchen. There was pie everywhere; apple and pumpkin. Abby came sprinting into the kitchen behind Quinn and knocked into her in the doorway, where Quinn stood with her mouth open. Ella's eyes were cast downward as she stared at the mess she had caused.

"Ella," Quinn said as calmly as possible. "What…happened?"

"I took the pie out of the oven but when I went to put it on the stove there wasn't much room so I went to move the apple," she began. "But when I went to move it, the tin was really hot still so I accidently dropped it and when I was trying to catch it I kinda dropped the other one that was in my hand." Quinn let out a deep, frustrated sigh and Ella stepped back as Quinn went to pick up the fallen pies. "I'm sorry mom."

"I know you are," Quinn muttered, beginning to clean up.

"Good job Ella," Abby whispered from the doorway.

"Abby," Quinn snapped. The little girl straightened up and went back to her room.

"I can stay home and just make both of them again if you want," Ella said quietly as she helped her mom clean up the mess.

"That's okay, I think we'll have enough time to do it when the parade is over. And I know you want to go." Ella was surprised Quinn was reacting in the way she had.

"Are you mad?" Quinn glanced over from washing her hands and gave a soft smile, shaking her head.

"A little frustrated but what would a holiday be in this family without something going wrong?" Ella smiled as Quinn kissed her forehead. "But Ella," Quinn said pulling away. "Prepare the area before you take anything out and use oven mitts on both hands." Ella nodded and Quinn poked her on the nose before going back to fix her make-up.

. . . .

Somehow they had managed to make another pumpkin pie before leaving, they would worry about the apple one later. They were now clad in coats and scarves, making their way down into the busiest city in the world on its busiest day. Luckily they had done this once or twice so they knew the ways to go to avoid the most crowds.

"Do not let go of my hand," Quinn said to Abby. Ella latched onto Quinn's arm simply to just keep up with her long legged mother. They had received the instructions as to where Rachel and the boys were and unfortunately it was quite a ways from where they lived. The parade had already started but they were ahead of it so it didn't matter. And they would see everything because their seats were at the end. Ella's eyes were scanning the hundreds of thousands of people for her girlfriend. She sighed, there were probably a million of people here….like she was going to find one in particular. She would try and meet up with her after.

"Momma," Abby called up to Quinn as they cut through behind a restaurant to get to the other side of the street. "I need to go to the bathroom."

"I told you to go before we left, Abby," Quinn said, not stopping in her strides.

"I know but I have to go again," she whined. Quinn let out a small groan and looked around. She could see Macy's a few blocks away so they were close. There was a Starbucks on the corner of the street and she could use some tea to calm her down.

"Okay but you need to go very quickly," Quinn replied. Abby nodded and the family walked closer to the Starbucks.

"Ella!" Ella's head snapped and her grasp from her mom was gone when she heard the voice of her girlfriend. Chloe ran over to her from where her family was sitting and Ella engulfed her in a hug.

"Happy Thanksgiving," Ella whispered as their arms were wrapped in each other's warmth. Chloe pulled away smiling and gave her lips what she had been missing for a few days.

"I'm so thankful for you," Ella said as they held each other.

"That was really corny but really sweet," Chloe giggled. "And I'm even more thankful for you."

"Do you want to come sit with us? We're going to sit by the stage."

"My little cousins are here," Chloe said pointing to some little kids who were being hoisted in the air by Chloe's dad and uncle. "So I should probably stay. But tomorrow we're going shopping?" Ella nodded. "I'll pick you up at 4:45." Ella rolled her eyes.

"These sales better be worth it. I don't get up that early for most things."

"But for me you would?" Chloe winked and Ella leaned in to give her one more kiss. They pulled away and Chloe's eyes darted to someone behind Ella.

"Happy Thanksgiving honey," Quinn said leaning in to give Chloe a hug. "Ella we gotta go, your mom called me screaming asking where we are because Lily's going to be performing soon." Ella and Chloe shared a hug goodbye and Ella waved to Chloe's family as she, her mom, and her sister power-walked the rest of the way to the bleachers

...

"My god I thought you were going to miss it," Rachel muttered as Quinn sat down into the spot she had been having a hard time saving. The girls said their hello's and Abby and Trevor had to move to sit on laps; people were crowding and taking up their attempt to reserve seats. Santana and Brittany were sitting a few feet away as the crowds wouldn't let them through.

"Sorry," Quinn replied grabbing Rachel's shaking hand. She was either shaking from caffeine or because she was nervous for Lily…or a combination of both. She nuzzled into Rachel's scarf and Rachel turned and kissed the top of her head. Quinn spied a small group of young girls being led out onto the stage and getting into position. She spied her little girl front and center, dressed in her first costume from the show. She was looking around and smiling with her friends.

"Please welcome, the cast of the hit Broadway show, Annie!" The girls dropped to the ground with their buckets and began performing "It's a Hard Knocked Life" just as if they were on the stage—with one major exception.

"Are they…"

"Yep," Rachel responded, glancing at Quinn sighing. They were lip-synching. It was incredibly common because of all the technical difficulties that could occur. But Quinn hadn't even though of the possibility that Lily would have to do that. It wasn't incredibly hard to tell and as talented as these girls were, they weren't very good at it. The girl who played Molly missed her first whistle cue and they weren't good at their cut-offs. But they did look like they were having the time of their life. Quinn and Rachel both grinned when Lily would have a solo and they could hear their daughter's studio voice. It sounded like Rachel's in high school and it made Quinn's heart flutter.

"She sounds like you," Quinn whispered into Rachel's ear. The brunette smiled and leaned into her wife as they watched their daughter perform for the entire nation. The girls finished their song and took a bow together waiving to the TV cameras that were placed at the front of the stage. A man with headphones called "cut" and the girls' producer came over to get the ones whose parents weren't nearby. The performance was over so quickly it felt like it never happened. There was a break in the parade so Lily was excused and ran over to her family in the stands.

"Lily that was incredible!" Quinn hugged her tightly.

"I didn't get to sing," she frowned pulling away. "But that was the first time we got to hear the CD and it sounds so cool!"

"You sounded beautiful," Rachel said kissing her on the top of the forehead. Lily reached up to take her wig off carefully and Rachel placed it in her purse so it wouldn't get dirty.

"Wait, your hair isn't really red?" Blaine joked from behind Rachel. Lily rolled her eyes at her uncle and he held out his arms for her to go give him a hug. She carefully climbed over her moms to greet her uncles and cousin and the family sat enjoying the rest of the parade. Once it was over they said a short goodbye to the others who were going to spend some time with each other before coming over for dinner tonight.

. . . .

They had to make a pit stop after the parade was over at the theater to drop off Lily's costume and for her to change and once that was done they decided to detour into the south end of Central Park that was nearly empty. If this didn't scream stereotypical New York Thanksgiving afternoon they weren't sure what did. But they loved it anyway. Whenever they had gone to the parade they took a long walk before the big feast. Lily and Abby were walking ahead of Ella and their moms crunching the huge yellow and orange leaves with their boots and long coats. Quinn and Rachel were walking hand in hand and Ella was walking next to Quinn, her mom's arm draped over her shoulder.

"What time are you going shopping tomorrow?" Rachel asked as they sat on a bench when Abby and Lily ran over to one of the playgrounds and hopped onto the monkey bars.

"Chloe's coming at 4:45," Ella replied sighing.

"Oh so then you'll get dinner together?" Ella glanced to her mother and shook her head.

"No mom, Chloe is one of those people that takes Black Friday like, very seriously," Ella replied. "4:45 in the morning."

"Don't wake me up," Quinn muttered leaning into the bench and closing her eyes, taking in the crisp fall air. "Hey Rach we need to stop by the store on the way back and get a few more apples. We had a pie incident this morning." Rachel laughed.

"What did Abby do this time?"

"Nothing…it was my fault… I dropped it," Ella replied. Rachel looked over with a raised eyebrow.

"You? Causing trouble? Never." Ella's face fell into an exaggerated frown. Rachel gently shoved her. "I'm just kidding, honey. You're the best."

"Yeah, yeah I know," Ella said smiling. After letting the girls play for a little while longer they went on their way, remembering all the food they had to prepare. They were coming to the last turn of the park before they could exit and make their way to the apartment before the girls started gasping and froze. There before them was a young man and a woman with 6 golden retriever puppies. They heard the girls' reaction and watched them walk towards them.

"Can we pet them?" Ella asked. The woman nodded and the girls crouched down, the puppies attacking their hands as they pet and coddled them.

"Oh boy," Quinn muttered as she and Rachel approached the dogs. "Hello," she said to the man. "You've got yourself quite the litter here."

"Yeah they're all up for adoption," the woman replied. "We've got 3 at home already so we're just looking for good homes to take them." Rachel nodded in understanding and looked down to Abby who had a puppy nestled up in her laugh, licking her cheek.

"We're a good home! Mommy we need to get one!" Quinn couldn't hold back her smile. The puppies were very adorable and add in three cute girls… it was a sight to be seen.

"Not today Abby," Rachel replied. Abby frowned and looked down at the puppy muttering some sort of apology to it. "That's something momma and I have to think long and hard about."

"We promise we're not criminals or anything, we just had too many puppies and we don't want to give them to a pet store. They're getting tests and shots done this week so they're nice and healthy. I can give you my number if you want."

"That's okay," Quinn started but was immediately cut off by their precocious 10-year old.

"YES!" she stood up carefully with one of the dogs in her arms. Rachel leaned down to pet the dog on the top of the head. The puppy had a pink ribbon around her neck and reached to lick Rachel's hand as she tried to pet it.

"Quinn," Rachel muttered looking at how happy the girls were with the little balls of fluff. And she herself was getting sucked into the cuteness.

"Rachel, it's Thanksgiving," she whispered.

"Right," Rachel replied. She straightened up and looked to the man. "We'll take your number." The girls painfully let go of the dogs, muttering their goodbyes.

...

"I can't you believe you just almost agreed to our daughters that you would get them a dog," Quinn said to Rachel as they were checking out at the store. Ella, Lily, and Abby were sitting at a table by the front entrance to the store discussing potential puppy names.

"I'm sorry," Rachel replied. "I got sucked in. You can't say they weren't the most adorable things in the entire world." Quinn swiped her card and the check out clerk handed her the receipt and her small bag of apples.

"Oh no, they were. I want like four of them. That's the problem. We get a dog and then what next? Abby has been asking for a cat since she could say the word 'cat'."

"Are we getting a cat?" Ella asked coming over when she saw her moms were done checking out.

"Noo, shush," Rachel said quickly as Lily and Abby walked over.

"Let's go home," Quinn said leading them out of the store.

"Momma we made a great list on Ella's phone," Lily said as they entered their building. They all said hello to the doorman and Quinn listened with sarcastic anticipation as Ella handed Lily her phone and she began to read off the list.

"Okay for a girl we have Lucy, Maggie, Annie…that was my idea, Elphaba…"

"That was my idea!" Abby said raising her hand. Rachel looked down and winked at her before Lily continued.

"And for a boy…Linus, Simon, Duncan, and…Frederick."

"And if we got two we could name them Linus and Lucy!" Ella added.

"Aw," Quinn replied. "That would be really cute." Rachel beamed at her wife for finally beginning to soften. "But we aren't getting two and even if we get one it won't be any time soon." Rachel sighed. Maybe not so soft, yet. The elevator arrived at their floor and they went into their apartment.

"Alright girls," Rachel said as they took their coats off. "Rooms and bathroom need to be spotless. Trash taken out. No snacking, we'll have plenty of food tonight. And no more discussion of puppies or kitties or fish or any animal until that's all done."

"LET'S GET A FISH AND NAME IT NEMO!"

"Abigail, go clean your room."

. . . .

Festive, classical piano music was playing in the background, the fire was burning, the house was cozy, table was set, and almost all of the food was prepared. Now all that was missing was the guests. Rachel adjusted her necklace and applied her lip gloss.

"Hey babe," Quinn said sticking her head in the bedroom doorway. "The girls want to show us something up in the loft." Rachel looked at her though the mirror with a confused look and Quinn just shrugged. Rachel turned around and the two walked to the loft.

"We made a point power!" Abby said once her moms were present.

"No Abs," Ella whispered. "Power point." Lily was holding Quinn's laptop on her lap clicking a few things. She set it down onto the coffee table and motioned for Quinn and Rachel to take a seat on the large beanbag chair. They dig and sunk into each other immediately.

"These are nice," Quinn said getting situated against her wife. Rachel squinted her nose and leaned into Quinn's shoulder.

"We've made a power point of all the reasons we should get a dog," Lily began turning the computer around so it was facing Quinn and Rachel. Ella clicked the mouse pad to get the first slide up. The slide split it two on the screen and spun in a circle.

"Do you like the spinny thing it did?" Abby interjected before Lily began speaking. "That was all me." Quinn and Rachel glanced at each other reading the words on the screen.

"Reason number 1. We are all very responsible. I work, and Ella babysits and Abby…Abby cleans her room really well and puts away all her toys." Rachel looked to Abby who seriously nodded at her moms. Quinn couldn't stop smiling at the lengths her daughters were going right now. The reasons went on and on ranging from the fact that Rachel would be home with it all day to the girls claiming they would "bond on walks in the park with the dog". As they reached their last slide the doorbell rang.

"Saved by the bell!" Rachel announced, standing up and kissing the girls on the top of the head. "Great effort."

"So can we get one?" Lily asked shutting the laptop.

"We'll see," Quinn answered following Rachel out of the loft.

"That means no," Ella muttered.

"With that attitude it does!" Quinn called back. She and Rachel looked at each other and shook their heads going over to the door. They opened it and found Santana, Blaine, Maddy, and Shelby.

"B, Kurt and Trevor are bringing up the rear," Blaine announced handing Rachel the Turkey to which she gave a disgusted look.

"I find it so revolting that America has a holiday devoted to eating meat."

"Rachel."

"Quinn."

"What's going on with you two?" Santana asked as they entered the kitchen and began to unload the various items of food.

"The girls are trying to convince us to get a puppy," Quinn replied. "They made a power point and everything."

"Cute," Shelby chimed in.

"See, nana thinks it's a good idea!" Rachel looked over her shoulder at Lily and Abby who were standing in the doorway. Rachel raised an eyebrow in hopes to get the girls to keep quiet about it and move on with the evening. Kurt, Brittany and Trevor came in and the conversation quickly changed to the adults talking about the parade and Lily beaming at the compliments about her performance. Brittany and Rachel managed to make another pie whilst holding conversation with everyone else. Maddy was getting fussy so Brittany made her a small plate of food before putting her down for a nap during their early dinner.

The entire counter was filled with delicious food. They went down in a line filling their plates before going off into two tables, the kids' table and the adult table. Ella begrudgingly was seated at the kids' table after multiple requests to be with the adults. However there just wasn't really room for another chair. The kids' table was in the middle of the living room, 8 or 9 feet from the adult table.

"You seem upset to be sitting with us," Lily announced as they were eating their dinner. Ella leaned on her elbow and gave Lily a pointed glare.

"No, not at all. Why wouldn't I want to sit with you and tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum?" Abby and Trevor looked up from their game of tic-tac toe on the paper tablecloth.

"Am I tweedle-dum?" Trevor asked. Ella shook her head and smiled.

"Of course not, Trev." Abby squinted her eyes for a moment in thought before realizing what Ella had said.

"HEY!" Ella smirked a little and Lily high-fived her under the table. She grabbed a crayon from the middle of the table and started her own game with Lily.

"So we have an announcement," Kurt said setting his fork down and wiping his face with his napkin. Blaine looked over and did the same, grabbing Kurt's hand across the table. "We're thinking of adopting!" The girls all gasped in excitement.

"That's so amazing Kurt! From where?" Quinn asked.

"We're looking into either China or Nigeria."

"That's so awesome," Brittany replied. "San and I are thinking about another but not for a few years."

"Are you two done?" Blaine asked Rachel. Quinn glanced at her with raised eyebrows and Rachel caught her glance.

"Definitely with children. We've got everything we could want and more." Quinn smiled and winked at her and Rachel smiled back. She glanced over to the table where the two pairs of kids were quietly eating and playing tic-tac toe. Rachel watched Abby pick up a spoonful of mashed potatoes and flung it right at Ella's face. She was too shocked to take any action.

"ABBY!" Ella in response took a spoonful of her casserole and tossed it at Abby, most of it landing in her hair.

"HEY!" Quinn looked over now and she and Rachel jumped out of their chairs so fast they fell to the ground. Quinn caught Abby's arm before she could fling anything else at her sister.

"Really?" She asked looking down at the girl whose hair was covered in vegetables. Abby looked across the table to where her other mom was standing.

"She started it!"

"Food fight!"

"Trevor, no thank you," Kurt called in response. Trevor deflated and went back to eating his croissant.

"I'm done eating, I'll get them cleaned up," Rachel said motioning for Ella to get out of her chair. Abby followed but Rachel kept them at a distance. Quinn could hear them muttering something about being called dumb and just rolled her eyes as she made her way back to the table.

"I'll clean it up later," she muttered sitting back down. The other adults just looked at her, trying to contain their laughter. "What?"

"Yeah, I think a dog would be perfect for you guys," Santana muttered taking a sip of her wine. Quinn rolled her eyes and playfully shoved her friend seated next to her as they continued their dinner.

. . . .

A few people ate dessert but most were too full from the turkey and decided to take some home. The kids had gone up to the loft to watch the parade on DVR from this morning and the adults were sipping coffee and discussing potential Christmas holiday plans. Rachel and Quinn had decided earlier that night while getting ready that they were going to cancel their trip to Hawaii and surprise the girls with a puppy. They knew they would freak and they couldn't wait. Everyone was going to have a specific responsibility with it and it was going to be a good for everyone. They bid their goodbyes to their extended family and were finishing up some dishes. The girls wandered into the kitchen.

"Can we have our pie now?" Ella asked as they went to get plates.

"Lily, you already had some…"

"Yeah I only had pumpkin though. I have to try the apple." Rachel sighed and took both of them out of the refrigerator. Quinn and Rachel decided to share one more piece of pie—if you are going to indulge on food it might be the day of Thanksgiving, right?

"So….given any more thought to the puppy?" Ella asked as they sat around the untidy table. Quinn glanced to Rachel.

"Yes," Rachel replied for her. "We'll let you know after we think it over for a few days." Quinn watched each girls reaction. Ella rolled her eyes, Lily sighed and took a big bite of her pie, and Abby frowned. She couldn't help but smile at them. Tricking them into this was going to be very humorous. She took another bite of her pie, her expression staying the same.

"Momma?" Quinn snapped out of her thought and looked to her daughter.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"You have this funny look on your face. Are you thinking about the puppies? They make everyone happy." She shook her head. Rachel took a bite of her pie and turned to face Abby.

"It's called love. She's just overwhelmed with love." Quinn gazed at her wife and nodded.

"It's true... I love you Abby," Quinn answered batting her eyelashes at her youngest. Abby grinned in response. "And you." She glanced to Lily. "And you." She looked to Ella. She looked to the end of the table to her wife. "And you. And maybe a little puppy that might be joining the family." The girls' eyes got wide. "Might." They all nodded but their eyes remained bright and sparkly.

"Love you too mom," Ella replied smiling.

"Love you more-er!" Lily added.

"That isn't a word Lily," Abby snapped. "I love you MOST!"

"I LOVE YOU MOSTEST."

"NO I DO!"

Quinn met Rachel's eyes. They couldn't hold back their laughter this time. They looked at the three girls they had brought into this world and raised. They had a lot to be proud of. And soon they would have a new addition to the family that would be showered with love, just like they all did with each other.

the end.
