-Chapter-66-Valentine's Loving-
-Rachel pov-
Everything has been tense the past month. Regionals is coming up and our future in New York may be changing. Honestly though...I am not that torn up. New York has not been what I thought.
But I have to say it brought us closer. We have been slowly getting closer and closer as a family. I really think that this is good for us. But I do also miss Lima a lot.
We have been doing the little thing still and I love it. We all still love doing it. We want to keep doing it. We have something's we need to talk to the moms about still.
But today is Valentine's Day and it can wait. We are currently home alone. The moms are on dates, The girls are at the movies, and the grandmas are doing something. So we are enjoying our time at home alone.
"You think we would still be like we are if we did not do the age thing?" We all look at Santana confused "We grew closer through it...do you think we all would still be as close?"
"I would like to think we would" Lucy smiles and nods "I think we would still be together"
"I do too" I smile and look at them "I think we are meant to be together"
"So I propose we do something special for our gifts" We look at Brittany and she goes on "Why don't we sing a love song before handing a gift to our fiancés? Four songs in total and three gifts given"
"I think your brain is amazing" She smiles and I look at the girls "Who is first?"
Santana raises her hand and pulls out her gifts. They are wrapped in red paper. She is such a sweetheart. She is a bitch but she is also very soft.
-Santana singing-
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
And I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
She has such a great voice! We all clap and she hands us our gifts. Brittany opens first and raises up her beautiful necklace. It looks very expensive.
I look to see Lucy opening and then holding a book set Shes wanted. I could not find it anywhere. I open mine still trying to stay positive. I smile and see the star shaped gold ring.
Brittany is up next and I hope the gifts I got hold up. They really are not as good. I really do not wanna disappoint them. They mean so much to me.
-Brittany singing-
You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love, that I feel for you, always will be
You're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die – oh, baby
I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, amen
They say that time takes it's toll on a body
Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway
They say that time can play tricks on a memory,
make people forget things they knew.
well, it's easy to see it's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you – oh, darling
I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
well, just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, amen
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, forever and ever, forever and ever, amen
Brittany gives out her gifts to us with a smile. Lucy opens hers first and pulls out a notebook set she has been wanting. It has flower designs all over it. She looks so happy right now.
Santana is next and she has a ring with a small diamond on it. I am starting to think we are all getting rings. Did I get left out of something? I guess Lucy's gift will tell me.
-Lucy singing-
Wide awake while the world is sound asleepin'
Too afraid of what might show up while you're dreamin'
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody would believe you
Every day you try to pick up all the pieces
All the memories, they somehow never leave you
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody would believe you
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
You keep a cover over every single secret
So afraid if someone saw them they would leave
Somebody, somebody, somebody sees you
Somebody, somebody will never leave you
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
For the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
For the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
'Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
God only knows where to find you
God only knows how to break through
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows
Lucy hands out her gifts and I watch Santana open it. Sure enough there is a nice diamond ring. I look over at Brittany confused and she just smiles. Did I miss out on something?
Brittany opens her gift and pulls out some stuffed cats. She smiles brightly as she hugs them. I am left to open mine. I take a deep breath and open it.
"You ok Rach?" I nod and pull out the picture smiling "I did not know what to really get you"
"I love it" I sit it down and wipe some tears "Was I supposed to get Lucy a ring? I feel..I feel like I was left out of something! I feel like my gifts will not match up"
"I love my ring" Lucy smiles and looks at her ring "We just knew you wanted a smaller looking one"
"So I got a star and we got surprised by the rings" Santana smiles "I did not know about this"
"So now you go sing" Brittany shoos me to the mic "Go!"
I chuckle and walk up to it. These girls are my heart and soul. I love them so much. I am gonna put my all in this.
-Rachel singing-
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love
I hand them their gifts and wait anxiously. Lucy is first and I watch her stop as she opens it. She lifts the Lion book holder. She must not like it.
Santana is next and pulls out her gift. It is a shirt I have seen in her history. It has a bear next to a cat on it. I feel a bit more easy when I see her smile.
Brittany is last and she opens the gift. She chuckles as she lifts the fat stuffed cat out. I know she still misses Tubbington so I wanted to make it up. She looks up and gives me a big smile.
"So" I look at Lucy who has not moved "Do you like it? I can get something else!"
"This cost five hundred dollars" Did I forget to take off the tag? "It is purely metal and will last for a long time"
"You had it in your history" I shrug and look at the ground "I...I just wanted to show you my love"
I am soon pulled into a hug "I know you love me without this" I have tears fall as the other two join "We love you so much"
I wrap my arms around them and smile. I love these girls so much. No matter what happens I know we will be together. These are my soulmates.
I can not wait to see what our future holds.
