-Chapter 73-5 songs are sung!

Best part of having a rich mother figure? Being able to have a heated pool! It's freezing outside and there's snow but I'm in a pool! I finally am in a pool while there's snow!

Is it odd to say this has been a small dream of mine? Maybe but who cares?! I'M IN A HEATED POOL! Soon there's a splash and I cover my face. I turn and see the girls have joined me with Fran.

"So you found out it's heated huh?" I nod and Santana chuckles "Number one thing mom wanted before moving here"

"Remind me to thank her" I lay back and float "This is amazing!"

"You know what's amazing?" I look up at Fran "Truth or dare"

"Oh really" I stand up and raise a eyebrow "So then you wouldn't mind me asking..truth or dare?"

So begins the games.

-Alex pov-

I'm in the kitchen baking with my girlfriends currently. I don't usually do Christmas time. Not cause of religion or anything just..just don't have reasons to! But now I have a bunch.

I've already got my shopping done for all of them. I really think I did a great job. I even made sure to get Angela somethings. I really want this Christmas to be special for her. I am confused though when she walks in and sits.

"Hey buttercup" I turn toward her "Why aren't you out with the girls?"

"Just don't feel like swimming" I nod not fully believe her and turn back to the cookies "What are you all making?"

"Just different treats" Judy walks past me with a cookie "Why don't you try one?"

I hear silence for a second "Wow this is good" I smile appreciating her unknown praise "Who made these?"

"That would be Alex over here" I finish my cookie sheet and put them in the oven "She's been on fire making these cookies"

"And literally on fire" I smack Shelby's arm while everyone laughs "What it's true!"

"She didn't have to know" I smile and give Shelby a cheek kiss "I love you all the same though"

"I just wish I could help more than roll dough" I turn back and look at Maribel "Don't go blaming yourself it's not why I said it"

I sigh "I know" I look at Angela and smile "Why don't you help slow poke there get our dough made?"

Angela moves over and starts to help Maribel. I smile and keep my words in my head. She's become like a daughter to me and I wish I could just do this with us. But that's not here nor there right now.

"Why don't we get some Christmas music going?" I turn and see the girls coming in shivering "Some heat would be nice too"

"Isn't the pool heated?" The girls all glare at Santana causing Maribel to sigh "I see"

"They da-dared me to do a handstand!" Shes releases a huge shiver "Just wasn't prepared for it to be right there"

"Well then you can help us" Angela holds up the dough "It's not that bad"

"Get changed and cleaned first!" The girls rush off and I look at Maribel "Has she broken something like that before?"

"You have no idea" She smiles fondly "She was a little girl and she thought she could sleep over the water cause her blanket could float! It ended up going through somethings and the pool was broken"

"I'll call someone to fix it soon" Shelby pouts "I was hoping to use it tonight"

Maribel smirks "If you had just let me get the hot tub fully installed" Shelby glares and Maribel puts her hands up "Just sayin!"

Soon the girls are back "WAIT!" Everyone looks at me confused "You told the paralyzed girl to do a handstand?! You do realize how dangerous that was right? She literally only had her arms!"

"Uhhhh" Santana looks away from my "Should we not tell her I do gymnastics at the school?"

"No im the one you shouldn't have told" Santana sighs as Maribel points to a chair "Make the dough and Rachel turn on some tunes!"

Rachel walks to the radio and finds a good song. She sways around and looks at Shelby. She nods and soon they dance around the kitchen.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling

When you hear

Voices singing let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancing merrily

In the new old fashioned way

You will get a sentimental feeling

When you hear

Voices singing let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancing merrily

In the new old fashioned way

I shake my head and laugh. Soon another song starts to pay and we all avoid looking. Is it racist? (I asked some people I was told it was fine to do!) My questions answered by one of the voices breaking through my thoughts.

"We sing it every once in a while stop holding your breaths" there is a collective breath that gets let out "Weirdos"

We make more cookies and I look to see Judy moving. Soon I see the other Fabrays moving and Brittany.

(Ding-dong-ding)

(Ding-dong-ding)

(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas

(Ding-dong-ding) It's the best time of the year

I don't know if there'll be snow

But have a cup of cheer

(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas

(Ding-dong-ding) And when you walk down the street

Say hello to friends you know

And everyone you meet

Oh ho, the mistletoe

Hung where you can see

Somebody waits for you

Kiss her once for me

(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas

(Ding-dong-ding) And in case you didn't hear

Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year

Have a holly jolly Christmas

It's the best time of the year

Have a holly jolly Christmas

And when you walk down the street

Say hello to friends you know

And everyone you meet

Oh ho, the mistletoe

Hung where you can see

Somebody waits for you

Kiss her once for me

(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas

(Ding-dong-ding) And in case you didn't here

Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year

(Ding-dong-ding-dong)

(Ding-dong-ding-dong)

I smile at the little family aspects going on. It's adorable to watch. I feel a nudge and look at Shelby confused. She nods toward Angela and I take the hint. I turn toward her and see her hard at work.

"You know everyone else has sung in a group" Angela looks up at me "I'm not against us doing that"

She smiles and she looks at the radio. I hear the music starts and she smiles wider. I guess this is our song.

-Angela-Alex-Both-

Out of all the reindeers you know you're the mastermind

Run, run Rudolph, Randolph ain't too far behind

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run, run Rudolph 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"

"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"

And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run, run Rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run, run Rudolph 'I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round'

Said Santa to a girl child "What would please you most to get?"

"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet"

And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run, run Rudolph I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

"What a musical family we are" Shelby wraps a arm around me "One more before we finish the cookies?"

We all nod and we wait till Shelby starts to sing. After a few songs she smiles. I guess we know the song we are singing.

-Everyone-

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

We all smile and enjoy the time together as a family. So far everything is looking up. Here's to hoping it stays that way.
