Day-18
-Rachel pov-
I am finally out of the hospital! I am no longer stuck behind those white walls! I can smell everything besides bleach! Why do they use so much bleach?!
"You look happy" I nod as my dads pull into the drive "Well we still have our guests so be careful"
"You know I had a..never mind" They share a confused look and turn back toward me "Can we just forget it?"
"Is it about the Bed and Breakfast?" I can see dad frowning in his eyes "We do not have to have one! I can always stay a car salesman!"
"Well it is about it" The frown becomes evident on his face "But it is more about what if we got a house with Mom and..and we used this as a bed and breakfast?"
"Well that actually sounds like a good idea" Daddy looks over at dad "Would you be opposed?"
"I would be all for it!" His frown is forgotten as a huge smile takes over his face "I would get my bed and breakfast!"
"I would also like to help when able!" I smile at my dads happiness "I can bring the stardom when I visit"
"A Tony in a case would look lovely" We share a big smile each "Now how about we get you inside?"
"First we were required to sing you a song" Daddy pulls out his phone "I believe it was this one"
(Lyrics from genius)
[LEROY]
At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best
Instead of getting 'em off my chest
To let 'em rest unexpressed
I hate parading my serenading
As I'll probably miss a bar
But if this ditty is not so pretty
[HIRAM & LEROY]
At least it'll tell you how great you are
[HIRAM]
You're the top! Leroy
You're the Coliseum
[LEROY]
You're the top! Oh, baby
You're the Louvre Museum
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss!
[HIRAM]
You're a Bendel bonnet
[LEROY]
A Shakespeare's sonnet
You're Mickey Mouse! (hahahahaha!)
[HIRAM]
You're the Nile
[LEROY]
You're the Tower of Pisa
[HIRAM]
You're the smile
[LEROY]
On the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check
[HIRAM]
A total wreck
[HIRAM & LEROY]
A flop!
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
[HIRAM]
You're the top, Leroy!
[LEROY]
You're Mahatma Gandhi, Hiram!
[HIRAM]
You're the top!
[LEROY]
You're Napoleon Brandy
[HIRAM & LEROY]
You're the purple light
Of a summer night in Spain
[LEROY]
You're the National Gallery
[HIRAM]
You're Garbo's salary
[HIRAM & LEROY]
You're cellophane!
[HIRAM]
You're sublime
[LEROY]
You're a turkey dinner!
[HIRAM]
You're the time
[LEROY]
Of a Derby winner!
I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop!
[HIRAM & LEROY]
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top!
You're the top!
[LEROY]
You're an arrow collar
[HIRAM]
Leroy, You're the top!
You're a Coolidge dollar
[HIRAM & LEROY]
You're the nimble tread
Of the feet of Fred Astaire
[LEROY]
You're an O'Neill drama
[HIRAM]
You're Whistler's mama!
[LEROY]
You're camembert
[HIRAM]
You're a rose
You're Inferno's Dante
[LEROY]
You're the nose
On the great Durante
[HIRAM]
I'm just in the way
As the French would say
[HIRAM & LEROY]
"De trop"!
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top!
[LEROY]
You're a Waldorf salad
[HIRAM]
You're just the top!
You're a Berlin ballad
[LEROY]
You're the boats that glide
On the sleepy Zuider Zee
[HIRAM]
You're an old Dutch master
[LEROY]
You're Lady Astor
[HIRAM]
Baby, you're broccoli!
[LEROY]
You're romance
You're the steppes of Russia
[HIRAM]
You're the pants, (Purr), on a Roxy usher
[HIRAM & LEROY]
I'm a broken doll, a fol-de-rol, a blop
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top
"Wonderful!" I applaud as they take bows "Now I go inside!"
"Yes princess" Dad gets out and helps me with the cane "You going to be ok?"
"I just need a little aide" He nods and stands beside me while daddy opens the door "Thank you for being so great and staying this month"
"Sweetie we are never leaving your side again" Daddy gives me a forehead kiss while dad kisses my cheek "We love you"
-Shelby singing-
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' 'til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you
And the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big
"That was wonderful mom" I give her a big hug and look around "Where is Santana? Are the Lopez trio and Fabrays here? Where is Beth even at? Did they leave?"
"Well come follow me" I do and get lead into a decorated kitchen "Do you like it? Santana set it all up!"
"I-I love it" I look at all of the Musical items "How did you get all of these copies?"
"Well actually" Maribel wheels Santana toward the front of everyone "She paid for them along with us for gifts"
"Y-yo-you did this?" Santana nods and tears start to fall down my face "This is too much! You need the money for bills!"
"Rachel it is fine" Santana wheels over and takes my hands "Today is all about you ok?"
"I am in love with you" I look into her eyes as I let my heart speak "You have shown you love me and you have earned my forgiveness! I forgive you so much! I love this and you! I love you so much! This Santana is my favorite Santana! Please never change!"
"Well I guess I can skip ahead in some of my plans" Everyone chuckles including me "Rachel I have fallen so hard for you..I have been in love with you for awhile honestly...I have a song and then a question for you"
I nod and we do not look away from the others eyes.
-Santana singing-
You're on the phone with your girlfriend
She's upset, she's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So, why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself
"Hey, isn't this easy?"
And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine I know you better than that
Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So, why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you see
That I'm the one
Who understands you?
Been here all along
So, why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me
"Will you be my girlfriend?" I nod and she smiles wide "Really?"
"Yes!" I go down and hug her while the others clap "A THOUSAND TIMES YES!"
"So now that that is settled" Dad holds up cake "IT IS BIRTHDAY PARTY TIME!"
Everyone cheers and I cuddle into Santana. This winter break just got a whole lot better. I officially have Santana Lopez as my girlfriend. I can not wait to spread that around the school.
But for right now I am going to enjoy my time with my family.
