-Chapter 53-Grandma and Chicago-
-Rachel pov-
I am back at nationals! I am so happy mom got us here! I mean Broadway is not my future right now but still. I really do love singing still so this is great!
"Alright kids!" I look over at mom who has a clipboard "I have all of the bunks on the list!"
"Bunk list?" Mom nods looking over if "Why can we not just pick our own roommate?"
"Cause I said so" I share a knowing look with sugar before looking back to her "Cherry and Sherri! Amber with Molly.."
"She is separating us on purpose" I nod and lay my head on sugars shoulder "We still on for our walk?"
I smile remembering the plan "Of course" I give her a peck on the cheek "I would never miss a chance to see you"
"Chatty Cathy with Santana!" I point to me and she nods "Which leaves sugar with me!"
"What?" Sugar is slowly being lead away from me which causes me to stumble "Rachel!"
"What is going on?" Santana shrugs and I narrow my eyes "Are you behind this?"
"Me?" Santana shakes her head "No me! There is very much a we behind this though...wish I was informed before we got here"
"So you really have no clue?" She nods and I groan "This is stupid!"
"Ehh" Santana smirks and throws a arm around me "You at least got me pal!"
"You only know Chicago?" She gives a sigh and nods "Fine! I guess we can sing a song!"
She smiles wide as she steps away. I will not lie by saying she is not hot. My mom has very good taste in women. But I love my fiancé a whole lot more.
-Santana-Rachel-Both-
My sister and I had an act that couldn't flop
My sister and I were headed straight for the top
My sister and I earned a thou' a week at least... oh, yeah
But my sister is now unfortunately deceased
I know it's sad, of course, but a fact is still a fact
And now all that remains is the remains of a perfect... double... act!
Watch this! Now, you have to imagine it with two people. It's swell with two people
First I'd...
Then she'd...
Then we'd...
But I can't do it alone
Then she'd...
Then I'd...
Then we'd...
But I can't do it alone
She'd say "what's your sister like?"
I'd say "men"
She'd say "you're the cat's meow"
Then we'd wow the crowd again
When she'd go...
I'd go...
We'd go...
Then those ding-dong daddies started to roar
Whistled, stomped, stamped on the floor
Yelling, screamin', beggin' for more
And we'd say "ok, fellas, keep your socks up, 'cause you ain't seen nothin' yet"
But I simply cannot do it alone
So what'd you think, huh? Come on, you can say
I know, you're right, the first part's shit. But the second part—the second part is really nifty! Ok
She'd go...
I'd go...
We'd go...
And then those two-bit Johnnys did it up brown
To cheer the best attraction in town
They nearly tore the balcony down
And we'd say "ok boys, we're goin' home. But before we go, here's a few more partin' shots". And this—this we did in perfect unison
Now you see me going through it
You may think there's nothing to it
But I simply cannot do it
Alone
People around us clap and I take small bows. That really did feel good to do. Maybe Broadway is still there for me? Would I be willing to give up what I would have to for it now?
Am I still as cutthroat as I was?
-Sugar pov-
"Sit" I quickly sit down in the chair "You have only a few minutes to explain why you are good enough for Rachel!...GO!"
"Well I..She...we!" I look at Lucy, then Brittany, and finally Shelby before sighing "I can not just say it!"
"Then sing it" Brittany smiles "We are a glee club after all"
I nod and think of the best song. Something that brings together all I love about her. Something that screams my love for Rachel to them. I have the perfect song for this!
I close my eyes and picture Rachel there. I can see her face looking back at me. She is so beautiful honestly. But she is so much more than her beauty.
-Sugar singing-
Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh
Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah
I know, I know
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
Yeah
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
"I love her so much" I smile as I open my eyes "She is honestly my everything! She is why I still get up everyday...if I did not have her then..then I would be so lost right now! I would not know what to do"
"Well said" Lucy smiles "She loves you too sugar"
"But do not hurt my baby" I look and see a scary look on Shelby's face "I will kill you if you do"
"Of course" I shake my head at the thought of hurting Rachel "I love her way too much to ever imagine hurting her on purpose! I would try everything in my power to avoid doing so!"
"That is what I want yo hear" Shelby smiles and holds out her hand "Welcome Sugar"
Knock knock
"We did not get any room service" Brittany walks over and looks through the peephole "It is some old lady in a cheetah jacket"
"So they found out" I sigh and stand up "It is my grandma"
"Sugar?" I groan before walking over and opening the door to see my grandma "I thought I saw your name on the list! How are you doing baby girl? Is that an engagement ring on that finger?"
"I am fine and yes" I smile and hold my left hand up "It is an engagement and I am engaged to a woman that I love very much! I assume this is not all fun talk though?"
"We just got the news about what your dad did" Grandma Betty frowns "I am so sorry baby doll"
"I have had a loving family to get me through" I see her frown deepen "I did not want to worry you grandma"
"I am your grandma!" She smiles and cups my face "I always worry!"
I smile and then go wide eyed at the yelling "I want a switch!" We turn as Rachel barges toward the room with Santana "This girl refuses to learn any new musicals!"
"All musicals are good" Grandma Betty smiles "There is funny girl and phantom for example!"
"Thank you!" Rachel smiles and holds out her hand "I am Rachel Barbara Berry!"
"You have a nice resemblance" Grandma shakes Rachel's hand with a smile "I am sugars grandma! I am Betty Motta!"
"G-g-grandma?" Rachel's eyes fly open and her hand drops "Oh shit"
"What dear?" I see grandma look down at the now dropped hand and it must click "Ahhh! You are the lucky lady!"
"Well" Santana smirks "Tonight just got more interesting!"
I groan as grandma starts leading Rachel away. When did she get so far?! I start jogging after them to catch up. I am all for this meeting but I want to be there.
Tonight just got a whole lot more busy.
Just a chapter to prolong the inevitable. Only a few more chapters left.
