-Chapted 27-5 days and a treaty?-

-Quinn pov-

Keeping Rachel and Beth occupied can be a hassle. They do not agree with the same movies or the other having a certain toy sometimes. Beth also gets confused by a baby sized Rachel there sometimes. I will never understand the body shrinking.

They agree Rudolph and Nightmare before Christmas are good movies often though. They are the two movies that work the best. I just wish I could get Rachel to stay big for a little. It gets to be a handful sometimes.

I also have no clue how I became the babysitter! Santana is out with Brittany shopping for us. She apparently did not realize how close we are to Christmas. I just hope she is able to get something good.

I also hope the moms get back soon.

L is for the way you look at me

O is for the only one I see

V is very, very extraordinary

E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you

Love is more than just a game for two

Two in love can make it

Take my heart and please don't break it

Love was made for me and you

L is for the way you look at me

O is for the only one I see

V is very, very extraordinary

E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you

Love is more than just a game for two

Two in love can make it

Take my heart and please don't break it

Love was made for me and you

Love was made for me and you

Love was made for me and you

We clap as Judy makes her way down the steps. Maribel goes up with Holly and I smile. I pull my mate into me and smell her sweet perfume. Who knew vanilla could smell so good!

"I did not know we could sneak away to a karaoke bar like this" I nod in the crook of her neck "You need to stop smelling my vanilla"

"You can smell my pumpkin spice if you want" I give an attempted lusty stare "I put it all over me before I left today"

"That can wait till later" Judy chuckles and points toward the stage "Our friends are up right now"

I pout but turn my head. She is the pants wearer in the relationship. I do not say that just cause I am a werewolf. She has such a way of taking control...it is so hot!

-Maribel-Holly-Both-

(I really can't stay) But, baby, it's cold outside

(I've got to go away) But, baby, it's cold outside

(This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in

(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful, what's your hurry

(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar

(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful, please don't hurry

(Well, maybe just half a drink more) Put some records on while I pour

(The neighbors might think) Baby, it's bad out there

(Say what's in this drink) No cabs to be had out there

(I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now

(To break this spell) I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

(I ought to say no, no, no, sir) Mind if I move in closer

(At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride

(I really can't stay) Baby, don't hold doubt

Baby, it's cold outside

(I simply must go) Baby, it's cold outside

(The answer is no) Baby, it's cold outside

(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in

(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm

(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious

(My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore

(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious

(But maybe just a cigarette more) Never such a blizzard before

(I got to get home) But, baby, you'd freeze out there

(Say lend me a coat) It's up to your knees out there

(You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand

(But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me

(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow

(At least there will be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died

(I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt

Baby, it's cold

Baby, it's cold outside

We clap as we look at the duo come off the stage. I feel bad for sneaking out but we needed a break. Rachel being the chosen one and resetting everything with Russel dying caused repercussions. One of those was the Berry men being changed back.

They were not changed long enough for it to last. They said they would be back by Christmas. I truly hope their are for Rachel. I think that is why she does not want to be big.

I also have been having to deal with having a wolf. Her name is Tulip and I want to kill her. She is too much like me in every way. Maybe this is why I never got along with siblings.

"Get out of your head" Judy gives me a big kiss "Time to relax"

"You are right" I smile and grab my glass "Time to relax"

She smiles and we clink our glasses together. Today is a me day. I hope the other girls are doing good. I think Santana said something about the mall. I have no clue what it was though.

-Santana pov-

"They are out of everything!" I groan and look at Brittany "What do we do? What do I do? I wasted time and now I have nothing! Rachel will be so disappointed when she gets nothing from me!"

"Mam is everything ok?" Brittany and I jump and turn to see a older lady "Can I help you two with anything?"

"Most of your new born things are out" I sigh and look at the empty shelves "I was stupid and waited"

"Do you have any boots or nice toys in the back?" I smile at Brittanys attempted optimism "You got to have something right?"

"You two are not from around here" The lady takes a step back "You are out of territory"

"Brittany stay behind me" I look around and see a few customers staring daggers at us "I am a alpha from Lima"

"Then follow me" The lady turns and walks toward the back "I got something nice back here"

I hesitatingly follow her with Britt "I am scared Santana" She grabs my arm tightly "What if we get killed?"

"You will not be killed" The lady turns on a light and we face a door "This is a privileged area"

"Nana Margaret" We turn to see a guy walk over with some groupies "Columbus invaders need to be dealt with not friends! How many times do we have to discuss this?"

"Mate!" A girl charges Brittany but I stand between them "MOVE!"

"Maaate" I turn to see Brittanys fangs showing "Move!"

I look at the girl and see her fangs showing too. I look at the other alpha who nods. I move and the two tackle each other. I do not need to be here for this defiling.

I follow the alpha through the door and am in shock. There is so many things in here! I can get something for Rach and for my werewolf! I turn and look to see them all smiling.

"How have I never known this existed?" He share a look with his group "What?"

"We have tried to stay away from other Ohio Packs" A blonde sighs and frowns "We just never really get much appreciation or mutual benefits"

"I honestly would love to try but after the last time" The alpha holds truth and hurt in his eyes "My mate was almost killed...they came one night and tried to over throw us"

"You can make a pack treaty with mine" I hold out my hand "Us wolves have to stick together"

"How do I know I can trust you?" He looks very hesitantly at my hand "How do I know this will not be a trap?"

"Because I killed my own father for force turning people" I look into his eyes as they come to mine in shock "He forced my mate to turn and a few others...I stand for equality between people and supernaturals! We are stronger together than opposed!"

"Spoken as a true alpha" He smiles and shakes my hand "We will write up a treaty along with getting one of these shops to Lima"

"We will work on protecting your pack and mine" I smile as we let go "Now to find my little mate some booties and my older mate a harness"

"Over here!" A bigger guy walks over to the baby section "They are the cutest things! There are ducks and crocodile crocs!"

I smile and walk over to him. The group helps me find some things in other stores too. Expanding the pack will be good for us. Making allies will be good for us too.

Now I know there are bad packs though. I will have to watch out for them when they come. For now, we will make a treaty and join forces. I hope this peace will last a long time.

At least for the sake of a good Christmas.
