Brittany sighs tiredly as she drops down on the couch after eating dessert and immediately cuddles into her mom. ''Damn Ma, you really outdid yourself this year.''

''You sure did Susan.'' Puck agrees grunting as he collapses down on the love seat with Jake, Susan laughs watching the three teens recline back with a hand on their stomach and turns to Carl as she hears him chuckle.

''Welcome to the hour of happily fed teens on Christmas, ready to fall asleep any second.''

Carl laughs and kisses her head. ''I do agree with them, everything was delicious honey.'' He whispers with a grin, Brittany just smiles lovingly as she hears them whisper softly and frowns as the doorbell rings.

''Are we expecting someone?'' She asks curiously as she turns to look at her mom, she raises an eyebrow as she just shakes her head and stands up. ''Chill ya horses.'' She calls out as the doorbell rings again the second she enters the hallway, she rips the door open and tilts her head as she a mailman stands in front of her. ''Howdy can I help you?''

''Delivery for Noah and Jake Puckerman.'' The mailman states holding out a huge box for her. ''Merry Christmas.'' Brittany raises an eyebrow as he walks off after tipping his hat and turns on her heels kicking the door behind her closed, she walks back into the living room placing the box in front of the boys and glares at them.

''Next time your asses can open the door, why the hell do you order something to deliver here?''

''For us?'' Jake asks turning to his brother in confusion, Puck shrugs leaning over to look at the sender and chuckles.

''Fuck they are smart as hell.'' He turns to his best friend gently tapping the box with his feet and smirks. ''It's for you, you idiot.'' He rolls his eyes as she just raises an eyebrow and taps the name of the sender of it. ''Santana send something to the label and used our names so nobody would find out where you live B.'' He breaths out chuckling.

Brittany just blinks crouching down beside the box and takes the keys Jake holds out for her, she quickly opens the box and chuckles as she sees a few different wrapped gifts in them. ''These are for you though.'' She breaths out holding two wrapped gifts out for Puck and one for Jake.

''Holy shit!'' Jake gasps out grinning after ripping his gift open. ''They send me some custom made drum sticks!''

''Those look awesome.'' Puck breaths out as he eyes the four sticks with different wooden designs and Jake's name on them, he rips open the gift he received from Santana and Mateo and chuckles. ''When the hell?''

Brittany looks at the picture frame chuckling as she sees a picture of him and Mercedes sitting on his ATV and shrugs. ''Thank ma for installing that app on my phone, San took that picture after we drove past you a few times just waiting for the both of you to look at each other.''

He just chuckles ripping open the second gift and gasps softly as he eyes the strap. ''She didn't.''

''She did.'' Jake murmurs chuckling. ''Damn bro, that looks awesome!'' He breaths out as he takes the black strap with a dragon engraved into his hands.

Brittany just smiles as she sees their big smiles knowing the girls managed to send them something they would use every day and looks down at the box, she blinks taking a bigger box out of is as she sees her mom's name on it and holds it out for her. ''This one is for you Ma.''

''For me?'' Susan asks in confusion, she slowly unwraps it and looks down at the wooden box. ''What the hell?'' She asks looking at the three teens, Brittany shrugs her shoulders and chuckles.

''Don't look at us, we didn't even know that a package was on it's way to us.''

Susan just raises an eyebrow turning back to the wooden box and slowly opens it, her eyebrows raise in surprise as she sees a mixture of tea's she has never seen before and turns to her boyfriend in surprise as he laughs loudly. ''What?''

Carl just continues laughing and taps the lid, she frowns in confusion turning to the spot he is tapping and sucks in her lips as she reads the text.

We are already overwhelmed with a five year old sometimes, we don't even want to know how you feel after spending the day with three clowns. Hope this tea helps you relax in the evening, Merry Christmas Susan.

Santana, Mercedes and Mateo.

She turns the box so her daughter and the boys can read it and laughs as they just shake their heads scoffing, Brittany rolls her eyes as Carl continues laughing and takes out her phone.

''You calling?'' Puck asks as he holds his own phone, Brittany nods her head dialing the last number she called and puts it on speaker.

''Sure am.'' She murmurs chuckling, she takes the smallest gift with her name out of the box as she listens to the dial tone and slowly unwraps it.

''Hey birthday girl.''

''Sup birthday chick!''

She looks up as she hears Santana's soft voice coming through the speaker of her phone Mercedes's teasing yell following right after and blushes as Jake, Puck and her mother just shoot her a knowing look the three of them immediately knowing that she already talked to Santana earlier that day. ''Clowns?'' She asks chuckling thankful that Mercedes is still around which allows her to keep her phone on speaker.

Susan laughs as she hears Santana's muffled chuckle and leans forward. ''Thank you for the tea girls, I will surely enjoy one tonight after two out of three clowns left.''

''Clowns, really?'' Jake and Puck ask as they lean forward.

''Yes clowns.'' Mercedes deadpans. ''We were already tired after this weekend, she handles your asses every day.''

Brittany rolls her eyes as the boys start to bicker with both girls and turns back to the gift in her hands, she gently takes the wrapping paper off and bites her lip as she holds a glass Mateo painted with three stick figures on what looks like an ATV. ''God that's adorable.'' She whispers softly.

''You opened the other gifts too?'' She hears Santana's soft question.

''Britt is still unwrapping, but we did.'' Jake replies. ''Thank you so much for the sticks, I will definitely only use those from now on.''

''I loved the picture and the strap, thank you both.'' Puck adds grinning.

''You're welcome.'' She hears both girls reply the smile clear in their voices. ''Britt, call me after you unwrapped everything?'' She hears Santana ask. ''We have to tuck Mat in.''

Brittany looks up from the glass and hums. ''I will.'' She promises. ''Thank him from all of us, speak to you later.''

''You will speak to her without me, she already left to pick Mat up from the couch where he fell asleep.'' She hears Mercedes murmur with a chuckle. ''Enjoy the rest of your Christmas.''

''You too!'' Susan calls out grinning, Puck chuckles as Jake and Carl just chime in and glances at his best friends phone.

''I will call you tonight.'' He promises.

''Alright, speak to you later. Bye!''

''What ya got there honey?'' Susan asks as she notices her daughter still holding the first gift she unwrapped, she leans forward as she holds it out for her and smiles lovingly as she turns it in her hand to look at the drawing. ''That's cute.''

Brittany just hums grabbing the next gift with her name as she watches her hand the glass to the boys so they can look at it and raises an eyebrow as she feels the weight in her hands, she turns it around and raises an eyebrow as she reads the neat scribbled words.

For your birthday. San & Mat.

She unwraps it placing the cap laying upside down on the ground beside her and looks at the folded hoodie in her lap and holds it up effectively unfolding it, she licks her lips as she sees the colored text on the back and shakes her head. ''She is so fucking crazy.''

She turns it around and shows everyone the text I took the road less traveled, now I am exactly where I want to be.

''What does the baseball cap say?'' Jake asks grinning, Brittany grabs it turning around to look at it and laughs.

''Oh this one will be worn at the CMA.'' She breaths out as she turns it so everyone can see it, Susan shakes her head and laughs.

''That is so you.'' She breaths out reading the two words Country Girl on the cap, she watches her place the gifts aside and raises an eyebrow as she pulls out small gift. ''For your birthday?''

''The hoodie and cap were.'' Brittany murmurs as she eyes the neatly wrapped package. ''This one is for Christmas.'' She unwraps the gift eyebrows raising in surprise as a jewelry box drops in her lap, she opens it after throwing the wrapping paper into the empty box in front of her and bites her lip as she eyes the treble clef and the text underneath.

Where words fail, music speaks.

''Ma, Carl, boys.'' She starts softly, Susan and the boys just exchange knowing smiles as they hear the emotions in her voice and just nod their heads as she looks at them.

''We will be heading out.'' Puck announces as he stands up with Jake, he leans down to kiss Brittany's forehead and winks. ''Don't curse her out too much.''

Brittany stands up to hug the both of them and turns to her mom, Susan just smiles as she walks over and kisses her forehead. ''Go upstairs honey, Carl and I will watch a movie and head to bed too.''

Brittany nods her head leaning down to hug Carl and turns to the boys. ''Lunch tomorrow?'' She smiles as they nod their heads grabbing the gifts and jogs up the stairs after the boys left the house, she walks into her room placing the gifts on her desk and drops down on her bed taking her phone out after putting the cap on.

She turns on her side propping her head up on her hand as she face dials Santana and leans her phone against her one of the throw pillows.

''Hey you.'' She smiles slightly as Santana appears on screen with glasses and raises an eyebrow.

''You are crazy you know that?'' She asks softly. ''But you do rock that teacher look, you have going on right now.'' She teases.

Santana rolls her eyes and laughs. ''I will show you what this teacher can teach you the second we see each other again.'' She shakes her head as Brittany just smirks and flips her camera showing her the canvas print of herself and Mateo surrounded by fireflies Brittany gave her for Christmas leaned against the wall on her desk. ''And I am crazy?''

''You are.'' Brittany murmurs as Santana flips the camera back, she just smiles slightly as she hears her scoff and shrugs. ''It does fit to the color of your room though.'' She chuckles as Santana just rolls her eyes again and smirks. ''But Ms teacher, what exactly do you want to teach me?''

''How to kick your own ass.'' Santana grumbles as she rolls on her stomach, she shoots Brittany a soft glare as she hears her sweet laughter and shakes her head a small smile tugging at her lips. ''How was your day?''

''Filled with food, laughter and family.'' Brittany breaths out. ''Carl also spend the holidays with us so it was fun to watch ma finally be really happy.'' She adjusts her cap and smiles. ''How was your day?''

''The same, sadly Jack couldn't make it due to an emergency at the hospital but he will join us celebrating the ball drop and Mat's birthday.'' Santana murmurs, she leans her chin on her arms and smiles slightly. ''Mat crashed long before his bedtime because he was so hyped up, but he begged me to thank you for his gift and to tell you that you are crazy.''

Brittany raises an eyebrow and snickers. ''He told you that, or did you just add that because you think so?''

''A little bit of both?'' Santana asks grinning. ''A remote control bat mobile, really Britt?''

''I am sure there is a park around your place where he can cruise around.'' Brittany breaths out shrugging.

''Right and you really think a five year old will wait till we go outside so he can drive around?'' Santana asks chuckling.

Brittany laughs and shrugs. ''Did he at least drive over your or Mercedes's feet?'' She ask smirking, Santana shakes her head and smiles slightly.

''You are evil, why the hell do I always answer your call even though I know that you will only tease me?''

''Because you can't stop talking to me, it's kind of a tradition now to call or text before going to bed.'' Brittany breaths out with a small smile, she turns her head covering her yawn in the crook of her arm and groans.

''And you always yawn the second the word bed leaves your mouth.'' Santana breaths out laughing, she glances at the time and sighs as she adds two hours on top. ''It's almost midnight for you, go to bed Britt I am sure the coming week is packed with lots of things to do before CMA's starts.''

''Don't wanna.''

She laughs hearing her soft childlike whine and shakes her head. ''And I don't want to be held responsible for you falling asleep during important things.'' She breaths out. ''Talk to you tomorrow?''

''I don't know when I will be home, I will meet up with Kane, Kate and Carrie after dinner.'' Brittany murmurs. ''I will text you as soon as I get home, maybe I will make it before midnight hits for you.''

''Alright, sleep tight Britt.''

''You too San.'' She grabs her phone biting her lip as she sees Santana's cute grin and clears her throat. ''Hey San?''

''Yes?'' Santana asks with an eyebrow raised.

''You remember what the card underneaths the necklace you send me says?'' She asks softly, she bites her lip as she hears her soft hum and takes off her cap. ''There was a small change of plans during the show, just listen to the lyrics of the first song I will sing.''

''The one opening the show?'' Santana asks curiously, Brittany shakes her head and smiles slightly.

''No I won't be performing the opening, the song before both of the categories I am nominated for gets announced.'' She shoots her a small grin as she frowns in confusion and winks. ''You will find out, good night Santana.''

She ends the call after hearing Santana's soft reply and opens her messages, she scrolls down to the group chat Kane created with Carrie and types out a message.

To CMA performance: Hey thank you for giving me till today to decide. Carrie I would love to perform our song and publish it right after, see you tomorrow.
