30. Chapter-30

-Chapter 30-5 days till Christmas-

-Rachel pov-

I have enjoyed celebrating and decorating with everyone. But it was a little hurtful that o had to celebrate my Holiday alone. I did all 8 nights by myself. I even had to do random buys to not know what I was getting.

I feel like I am family for sure. But I also feel like I have been forgotten some. I mean everyone forgot my birthday! I bet that Mom and the girls are setting that up though!

I am officially 17 years old now! I have never had a real birthday party before. Do you invite a bunch of friends to them? Is it a huge celebration like people say?

"Knock, knock" I look at the door to see Britt and Sanny at the door holding presents "We are a few days late but! My gift was taking sometime to come in"

"You remembered!" She nods and I motion them in "Thank you two so much!"

"I hope it makes up for us forgetting Hanukkah" my lip quivers as Santana looks concerned "Oh god what? Did something happen?"

"You two were going to celebrate with me?" They nod and I pull them into big hugs "Thank you!"

"Anytime me Estrella" They pull back and Santana pushes me between the gifts "Open!"

"Should I not wait for the others?" I see them share a look and sigh "They really did forget"

"But we did not" Britt moves her gift and hugs me "We are our own little family inside the family"

"Yeah" San copies Brittany and I am soon smashed between them "Our own Amazingly hot family!"

"You two are the best" I wipe the tears that fell and grab Britts present "Now how about I open and test your knowledge on if you two have gotten to know me well enough or not?"

-Maribel pov-

I sneak past Rachels bedroom and go downstairs. Shelby is reading the news paper and the twins are pulling popcorn onto strings. They really have no idea. I grab a empty champagne bottle and smash it on the counter to startle them.

"DEAR GOD MARI!" I shush Shelby with a glare "What did I do?"

"What is todays date?" Shelby shrugs and I turn toward the twins "What was a week and a few days ago?"

"Uh the beginning of December?" Fran raises a confused eyebrow "What? Have we forgotten something?"

"Oh Mari there you are!" I turn and see Judy carrying in the decorations "I brought the gold hats and star balloons! Are the...what are you two doing down here? You are supposed to make breakfast or something!"

"They have no idea" I watch Judy drop everything in shock and I nod "They have no idea they missed Hanukkah and they missed Rachel's birthday a few days ago"

"Rachel was not born before Christmas" Shelby smugly crosses her arms "I would know she was born two day...oh shit...OH SHIT! I missed my baby girls birthday! How did I miss that?!"

I shrug and pick up the supplies "You three need to figure something out" The door is knocked in code and I look at Judy "The crew is here"

"I am going to get sick" Quinn pales as realization sets in "I bet she does not remember ours..right?"

"She is why I know it now" Holly walks in with the club, some cheerios, sue, Grandma Peggy, and Emma "I just joined this circus and know"

"Oh god" Shelby looks like she is having a mental breakdown "I forgot the baby that came out of me! I am a horrible mom!"

"Right now I will not disagree" I turn toward the twins "You are horrible girlfriends too! Now get off your asses and get something!"

"I already ordered I had remembered just forgot!" Fran runs to the front hall closet and pulls out a wrapped box along with 8 others "Oh...I also got her Hanukkah too"

"Well we are celebrating that late too" Kurt claps and starts undoing some bags "I advise the two shocked people to rush! We can only stall for so long and Rachel can only stay still for so long! SO GO!"

Quinn and Shelby are quickly up. They get their things and book it. I hope Rachel does not hear them peel away. I am impressed with Fran besides her memory issues that need addressed obviously.

-Time skip-Rachel pov-

"Alright so now look" I look in the mirror and smile "How does it look? Do you like it? Do you hate it?"

"My first time having a sibling do my makeup" I keep the happy tears at bay and smile as I turn "I love it Sanny!"

"Really?" I nod and she hugs me "I am so happy I did not ruin your face"

"Can I take the mask off now?" We both turn to see Brittany has eaten the cucumbers again "I am getting hungry"

"It has been a while since breakfast" I help Santana get Britt up and situated "I can go down and get lunch for us all"

"How about we all go together?" Britt stands up quickly "I do not like makeup as much as I enjoy not having those stupid zits! I mean why do we produce so much oil anyways?!"

"You are a genius" Her eyes go wide and Santana face palms "You are actually a genius! You have been playing us this whole time!"

"Nooo" I raise a eyebrow and she sighs "Yes"

"I will keep it a secret" I boop her nose with a smile "Just do not be afraid to let it out sometimes ok?"

She nods and we head downstairs "Alright!" I look at Santana odd as we go "We are coming downstairs now!"

"Yes we are" I chuckle and shake my head "You are weird sometimes sis"

"SURPRISE!"

"E-everyone is here?" I have trouble keeping tears back this time "You are all here for my birthday? Really? For me?"

"Even the ones who forgot" Mom steps forward with her head down "I honestly thought it was next week and had planned for it then"

"I just thought you were a June baby" I look at Quinn who is rubbing the back of her neck "Fran is the only one of us three who planned ahead and forgot"

"Yeah you have nine gifts technically" Wait that means...did she really? "Eight of them were for Hanukkah but I forgot they existed honestly"

"We really need to get you all help with your memories" They all nod and I smile brightly "Now how do we begin a surprise birthday party? I am honestly asking here cause I have no idea what I am supposed to do!"

"Well this is going to be fun!" Kurt grabs my arm and drags me into the living room "First things first is this!"

I watch as the trouble tones form the group. What are they going to do? Is this something I need to join in on? Do birthday parties always have singing groups?

-Trouble tones singing-

"Bravo!" I clap as they all take bows "Now what is next?"

The day is filled with fun and laughter. I have people who want to celebrate me getting older. It is a nice change of pace honestly. It is nice to have a big group of friends and family.

I will have to repay them on their birthdays this upcoming year! I will find a song for each of them. I think that and a present is suitable. I can do it no problem.

Right now I am just happy to have them here with me.
