-Chapter 75-3 late gift shoppers-
-Lucy pov-
You know that feeling you get that you've forgotten something? Yeah I have that right now! I forgot to get something for Beth and my own girlfriend! MY OWN DAMN DAUGHTER AND GIRLFRIEND!
I'm scrambling into my car to go to the mall. I need to get them a great gift. Beth will be easy but SAN? God that's gonna be near impossible! Why did I forget her?!
I start my car up and pull out of the driveway. I go as fast as I can to the mall. I need to find the perfect gift for her. Something that shows I care.
That I love her.

I slowly get out of Alexandrias hold. I walk to the dresser and quietly grab out some clothes. I got o the bathroom, get changed and ready, then walk out. I head downstairs and put on my shoes.
I walk to the key rack and notice Lucy's keys are missing. I grab mine and head out to my car. I pull out of the drive and drive toward the mall. I forgot to get something for my favorite cuddle girl, Alex.
Since she's been with us she's been the one that cuddles with me. It's absolutely fantastic! She's small but she just feels so cozy to lay against. It's lovely.
So now I need to get her a lovely gift. Cause she deserves it. I already get the others lovely gifts. Now I need to get her one too. I don't know how she slipped my mind.
Oh and Angela! I need to get her another one. I don't think she'll like the one I already got her. Maybe she will but I wanna be safe. We plan on making it a great Christmas for her.
So now I gotta make sure she has a great gift too!
-Rachel pov-
I get out of bed and skip on getting changed. I just want to get to the mall. I notice Lucy is missing from the bed across from us. I wonder where she went?
I shake my head and focus. I head to the key rack and see two sets missing. Mom and Lucy's are gone. I grab one and head to the cars.
I get in Britts and start it up. I back out and head toward the mall. I have to pick up a small gift for Brittany. I also need to get Santana a gift. I may or may not have forgotten her...ok I definitely forgot her.
I sigh and speed up as much as I can. I really hope all of the stores are open and in stock. That would make this trip difficult if they are closed. I sigh at the thought.
Here goes to hoping.
-Time skip-Lucy pov-
I'm in the mall and looking at all of the stores. There's nothing here though! I sigh and go to leave but stop. I turn and see the store I need.
I walk in to the Hot Topic and see everything. There's so many things that scream Santana! I pull out my wallet and frown. I don't have a lot of money though. I look around and see something that is definitely Santana.
I walk closer and see the price. It's just out of the range. I look at my wallet and back at the item. She deserves it. But I still need to get Beth a gift. I sigh and walk away.
I go to the baby store and grab a cute onesie she could use. I spent most of my money on it. I sigh and walk to the exit of the mall again. They a shine catches my eye. I turn and see a ring on a pedestal.
Hmmmmm.
-Rachel pov-
"YOU SAID IT'D BE READY!" I look at the cashier with anger "Where is the thing I paid for?!"
"Mam it was held back I'm sorry" The man hands me a paper "It will be here tomorrow at this time"
"I better be" I take the paper and walk away "Now I gotta find something for San"
I sigh and walk around trying to find something. I stop at a hot topic and see a bracelet that fits her perfectly. I look at my wallet and see I have enough for it. I grab it and checkout.
I walk out and see Lucy entering a contest. What's going on?
-Shelby pov-
Nothing! There is nothing! I got Angela a camera set cause she likes to take photos. But I have nothing for Alex! I can't find anything at all!
I walk to a book store and smile. I don't know why I didn't stop here before. I go inside and find a cart thing. It's supposed to make your job easier for storing books. She could use this!
I walk out after paying and toward the exit. I stop when I see Rachel watching Lucy. Lucy looks nervous. I walk up and tap Rachel's shoulder.
"What's going on?" She shrugs "You haven't asked her?"
"Don't wanna ruin her mojo" I look at her confused "When she rubs her hands and bounces on her feet like that she's trying to build up confidence"
"So what is this?" Rachel points to the ring "What?"
"It's a contest" I look at the age requirement "Yeah I noticed that too"
I sigh and walk to Lucy "Hey" she jumps and looks at me wide eyed "What are you doing?! You're under age!"
"She's under age?" I look at a man who is in a suit "Then you'll be removed from the contest"
"No!" Lucy turns to the man "I need this ring! I-I don't have the money for another gift!"
"I'm sorry" The man puts his hands up in surrender "It's out of my hands"
"Come on" I wrap a arm around Lucy "Let's go find something for San"
"B-but I don't have the money" Lucy looks down at the ground "I spent it on Beths gift"
"Well I've got money so come on and show me the gift" Lucy leads me to a hot topic and frowns "What?"
"It's gone" Lucy walks forward and points to a empty spot "Someone bought it"
"This?" We turn and Rachel holds up a bracelet "I saw it and thought Santana too"
"Why don't we find something else then?" Lucy nods and I see Rachel still holding the bracelet "Unless you two have another idea"
"You can give it to her Rachel" Lucy smiles "It's perfectly fine"
"Are you sure?" Lucy nods and Rachel puts away the bracelet "Let's find something for you to get her then!"
-Time skip-
When we finally get home we see a bunch of Christmas stuff strewn about. We share a confused look and walk in. We walk in and see the girls moving decorations.
"Come on we have to get this done be~" Judy looks at us with wide eyes "Uhhhh hi?"
"We go to make sure we get gifts and this is what happens?" Everyone shares scared expressions and I sigh "Let's get this done so we don't have a mess!"
We take our gifts and hide them away. After that we go back out and help. We move stuff and I must say it looks better. I still like how Rachel, Lucy, and I ordered it though. But we did this one more as a family.
That's what matters the most around this time too. Being a family. Sometimes not everyone can be together or things happen. But as long as you can still pull through and be a family...then you're doing good.
This is my family and I love them so much. I don't know where I'd be without them. They have made me so much better through the year. I love them so much.
I hold my arms open and Alex comes over. I wrap my arms around her and smile. Everyone has smiles on their faces. That's makes my day so much better.
What started out as hectic turned into this. Leave it to us to do that. We can never have nice moments without some chaos. Maybe in the next year that will change.
I still need to talk with Rachel about NYADA. We've tried keeping it under wraps from her. She's gone flip when she hears they closed down. It's where her plans began.
But that's a problem for future Shelby I guess.
