Or will someone try to change her to their will? Or will someone try to change her but just to help her get out of her shell? Read on to find out.

-Chapter-31-Christmas has come!-

-Judy pov-

Being in a home full of musically talented people has taught me one thing...be ready for songs. Even a day like Christmas you can't be too safe. I'm awake early and ready for anything.

I know something is coming. Maribel is gonna regret being in bed late. After a few minutes I think I'm starting to be wrong. Can they actually be quiet for once?

I mean I enjoy their singing but sometimes it's too much. Since they aren't singing I think I'm gonna sleep. I start closing my eyes when I hear a hum. I knew it was too good to be true.

-Santana singing-

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

And I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

And I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

"Remind me to hit her" Maribel sits up with wild hair "I'm gonna kill them all"

"Well I think it's done" We get up and open the door to see our moms "Hello"

"I'm gonna kill your future daughter in law" Marisol looks at us with wild hair that looks like Maribels "Why would anyone think singing is how you wake up?"

"That was your granddaughter actually" Marisol sighs "It usually is just one song and that's it"

They groan and we all head downstairs. I'm immediately wrong when Lucy opens her mouth. Why does it have to be my daughter? Why couldn't it be Rachel?

-Lucy singing-

Happy Christmas

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance

But you still catch my eye

Tell me, baby

Do you recognize me?

Well, it's been a year

It doesn't surprise me

Merry Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I love you"

I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now

I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Oh, oh, baby

A crowded room

Friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you

And your soul of ice

My god, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover, but you tore me apart

Now I've found a real love. You'll never fool me again

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year

To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

I gave you my heart

A man under cover, but you tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone—

I'll give it to someone special

Special

Someone

Someone

I'll give it to someone—

I'll give it to someone special

Who give me something in return

I'll give it to someone—

Hold my heart and watch it burn

I'll give it to someone—

I'll give it to someone—

I'll give it to someone special

I thought you were here to stay

How could you love me for a day

I thought you were someone special

Gave you my heart

I'll give it to someone—

I'll give it to someone—

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

You gave it away

I'll give it to someone—

I'll give it to someone—

"For the love of god!" Diana walks over toward them "You started with out me!"

"I haven't sang the old song" Shelby looks at her mom "Can mom join?"

"That sounds great" Diana grabs Alice's hands "Let's do this!"

Alice looks at us for help as she gets dragged away. I was not gonna get dragged in too.

-Shelby-Diana-Alice-All-

Out of all the reindeers you know you're the mastermind

Run, run Rudolph, Randolph ain't too far behind

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run, run Rudolph 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"

"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"

And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run, run Rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run, run Rudolph 'I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round'

Said Santa to a girl child "What would please you most to get?"

"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet"

And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run, run Rudolph I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

"Alright!" Marisol runs a hand through her hair then smiles "Are we ever opening presents?"

"PRESENTS!" The teenagers run over to the tree "We got presents to open!"

"You'd think they were little kids" I chuckle and pull Maribel into me "I'm glad everyone is having fun though"

"Agreed" I give her a chaste kiss "Let's go over and make sure no one gets the wrong thing"

-Time skip-Sugar pov-

We went through all the gifts the moms gave. We are about to start on special gifts when I see the trio talking. They pull out a square box that looks familiar.

"We got two gifts!" Brittany smiles brightly "We may be stepmoms in the future so..we wanted to get Rachel and Beth something!"

"Aw" Shelby smiles "Thank you three"

They hand out the two boxes and I watch Beth get helped. I look at the trio confused when I see the cup I bought. What's in my box then? When did they switch them around?

"I told you I'd help" Brittany gives a small smile "You were so happy when you saw it"

"I" I smile and shake my head "Thank you"

She nods and I look back at Beth. She smiles and shakes the cup around. We all laugh and I look over at Rachel. It's the bracelet they got for her.

It has music nite charms on it. It looks so beautiful. It has nothing on the wearer though. Nothing has a chance of beating her beauty.

"You hearts are showing" I jump and look up at Elaine "You love her dont you?"

"Yeah" I smile and look back at Rachel "I love her a lot"

"I can tell" Elaine takes a sip of her coffee "She loves you too..you can see it"

I smile wider hearing that. I know she does but it's great to hear it said. It's always great to know you're loved. It's even better to know others can see it too.

"Alright!" Shelby stands up "Special gifts now!"

They cheer and I smile. Beth gets the teddy bear and hugs it tightly. I look to see Rachel holding my handmade star sign. It has hearts all over it.

"Sugar?" I feel nervous now "Did you make this?"

"I didn't know if you'd like my other gift" I rub my hands together nervously "Do you like that one?"

"It's wonderful" She smiles brightly "I'm gonna hang it above my bed!"

I smile and bring her into a hug "I'm glad you like it" She wraps her arms around me and I sigh "I love you"

"I love you" Theres some cheers and we pull apart blushing "Jerks"

Everyone laughs and I look down at the ground. I smile when I feel a hand in mine. I look up to see Rachel smiling. This Christmas has been the best one yet.

I hope we are together for many more in the future.
