-Day 24-
-Rachel pov-
"This has been such a wonderful Christmas time" I lean into Santana and sigh happily "I can not believe I finally get it with you"
"I can not either" Santana pulls me closer into her side "We should have done this a long time ago"
"I agree" We look at everyone laughing and getting along "Our families mesh well together"
"It is like we are meant to be" I smile brightly think about this week "You have been such the gentle lady to me"
"You deserve it and more" She kisses my head and I feel my face heat up "I was such a bad person to you in the past"
"I will not say you were not" I move and cup her face "But you have made up for it! You have been the best girlfriend ever!"
"You have had others" I cringe and she raises a eyebrow "Hey we are talking about this later"
I nod and lay back into her side "You are the best thing to have come into my life" I sigh and look at the cookies on the table we made "You want to do a exercise? Just close your eyes and tell me what you see"
"Alright" I make sure her eyes are closed as she speaks "I see us going to New York, our family is there too, I see you in NYU because NYADA is a joke, I see you becoming a Broadway star, I see us getting engaged after you win the Tony at a young age, I see our families laughing together every year, I see a nice house, I see kids that look like us, and I see the happiest future ever"
"Really?" She opens her eyes with a nod "You want that with me? Truly?"
"Every last thing" She gives me a peck on the lips "I love you so much Rachel"
"I love you Santana" I give her a bigger kiss as a camera flashes "Go away Fran!"
"No one appreciates my skills!" We chuckle as she hands us the Polaroid "Hang on to them"
I look and see there are more photos. So many of the family smiling. There are a bunch of moments between Santana and me. You can see the love between us all in the photos.
I show them to Santana as everyone moves close. It is getting late and we need to go to bed. Christmas is tomorrow after all. I would never want to be bad for Santa!
"You look like you are excited for Santa or something" I nod and Santana smiles "Of course you are baby girl"
"Am I too childish?" Santana shakes her head and I smile "Thanks"

"We are all very lucky we are together" Dad pulls daddy into his side "I love being with you all"
"We should do this every year!" We all voice our agreements "I can not wait to see what happens in New York for us all"
"Agreed" I put my hand in Santanas "Maybe we will have rings huh? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge"
-Rachel singing-
It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
"Won't see another one"
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So, Happy Christmas
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty, Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks, they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead
On a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap, lousy faggot
Happy Christmas, your arse
I pray God it's our last
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day
"I could have been someone"
Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me, babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas Day
"Let's go to bed" Santana stands up with me "We need sleep for Santa!"
I smile and give her a kiss. This is going to be the best Christmas ever!
