-Chapter 28-6 days till Christmas-
-Rachel pov-
Waking up to the sound of Christmas music is amazing! In 6 days it's Christmas and I can't wait! I've never fully celebrated Christmas before so this will be new. I stand up and walk to the closet. I open the door and look at the mirror.
"Let's see" I raise my shirt up and look "Oh my god!"
I run out of the room and downstairs. I rush to the living room where everyone is putting up some decorations. When I skid to a halt everyone looks at me worriedly.
"What's going on?!" Santana walks up to me and checks over my body "Are you ok?! Is the baby ok?!"
"We're both fine!" I raise my shirt up and smile "The bump is showing!"
"Bump?!" Lucy is quickly rushing past me and coming back with a camera "Strike a pose!"
"Am I missing something here?" Santana looks over at the moms confused while I pose for pictures "I feel like I'm missing something here"
"A bump shows you really have something there besides the ultrasounds" Shelby smiles before going back to the tinsel "Speaking of which! You have an appointment today!"
"You're right!" I look at Lucy excitedly "First appointment with a baby bump!"
"You know that bumps kinda big" Maribel raises a eyebrow and looks at Judy "Big bump, big baby?"
"Big bump maybe twins" Maribel nods and the both look at me "Why don't you get ready and one of us can take you"
"No!" The both throw their hands up in surrender and I smile "I mean no I want the girls to come"
"I can watch Beth" Fran comes downstairs slowly yawning "Go with them"
"Family trip!" I clap happily "I wish you and Beth could come"
"I don't do hospitals" Fran frowns "Bad memories"
"Mental note to ask about that later" Judy looks at Fran then me "Let's get ready then!"
-Time skip-
We are almost to the hospital when a good song comes on. I can't help singing along! I'm just so happy!
-Rachel singing-
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
Yes the most wonderful time
Oh the most wonderful time
Of the year
"Sorry" I smile and lay my head on Santana's shoulder "Just happy and had to sing along"
"Well then I guess I'll sing this one huh?" I giggle as Lucy tickles me "Just not Rachel Berry style"
I pout and roll my eyes playfully. I love this girl so much.
-Lucy singing-
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
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
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
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
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
"Cop out" I smack her shoulder with a smile "You chose a short one!"
"For my short one" I smack her arm again and she holds it "Ow! This is abuse!"
"Not if I'm giving permission to hit you for your cop out" Judy smiles back at us "I got your back Rachel"
"My mom turned on me!" Lucy looks at Santana and me "San keep her away from yours! She'll turn next!"
"She's already too late for that" Maribel turns and smiles at me "She's just soooo cute!"
"I'm liking the support here" I get off Santana shoulder and cross my arms "Maybe I should start dating them!"
"If I sing a longer one will you get over it?" I nod and Santana rolls her eyes playfully smirking "I guess I can sing"
"That will have to wait till after the appointment" Mom parks into a spot and looks at us "We'll be out here if you need us!"
We get out of the van and walk to the entrance doors. We walk in and get signed in before sitting down. We wait a bit before getting called back to the doctor. When we get in there I see Doc Chavez talking with a woman.
"There she is! SEE! I told you I did Rachel Berry's ultrasound!" The woman turns and her jaw drops as Chavez gets a smirk on his face "I expect an apology"
"YOURE RACHEL BERRY!" I cringe at the shriek as the lady quickly runs toward me "I'm a huge fan! I didn't believe my husband was telling the truth! And you're Quinn Fabray! A..and Uh"
"Really?!" Santana pouts "I sang Valerie"
"And did amazing sweetie" She sighs and I look back at Mrs. Chavez "It's nice to meet you in person!"
"It's nice to meet you in person too!" She pulls her phone out and looks at my nervously "Can I get a photo?"
"I'll take it" Santana grabs the phone and motions Dr. Chavez in "Come on"
They smile and Santana takes the photo "Thank you!" The woman smiles and looks up at Santana "Your Valerie performance was phenomenal and I believe you should do another solo before graduating"
"This lady is my wife now" We all laugh and Santana looks at her in awe "Can we take a photo just to say I got a photo with someone that knows my talent?"
She nods and we take a quick photo. I smile and we say our goodbyes. The appointment is relatively quick and everything turns out good. We setup our next appointment before leaving the hospital. Everything's good till we walk up to someone.
"Just let us past Finn" The giant teen stands looking at me and I move in Santana's side more "You're scaring Rachel!"
"You have my baby" Finn frowns and looks at my stomach before looking at my face "I'm gonna have rights"
"We'll see you in court then" Lucy grabs my hand and we walk around the lumbering oaf "Let's get going"
We walk toward the van but I get stopped. Lucy turns and we both look at Santana's hand on my wrist. I look up at her confused and she lets go. I don't understand what's going on till I see it.
"He's going to military" In Finns back pocket is a pamphlet for the military "He's gonna get himself killed"
"But it could be good for him" I look at Santana confused and about to yell "Think! He could learn to take care of his anger and all of the other issues!"
"She's right" I look at Lucy who give my hand a light squeeze "He could become a good man"
"He's still not seeing this baby" I shake my head and look at Santana "You still owe me a song"
"Everything ok girls?" We look and see Shelby has pulled the van up to us "We noticed you stopped walking toward us"
"It's fine" Santana grabs my others hand and smiles "Just talking"
We get into the van and Santana hits scan. Songs skip past till she finds one. She smiles and starts to sing along to the words.
-Santana singing-
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure, it's Christmas once more
"Thank you for choosing a long song" I glare at Lucy "She has good tastes"
"So what's that say about you?" She smirks but frowns when I hit her arm "That's abuse still!"
"I'm still giving permission!" Lucy huffs and I smile "You can't hit her back cause she's pregnant"
"7 more months" Lucy smirks at me "You have protection for seven more months"
I chuckle and lay my head on her shoulder. It's a nice drive home from the hospital. When we get home we all get out and walk to the house. The door opens and the moms freeze. We get let in after they move and my jaw drops.
"What Christmas store did you rob?" I look around the living room that looks like a winter wonderland "I love all of this!"
"You can't celebrate Christmas and not go all out decorating!" Fran points to the bare tree "I've found Lopez ornaments, Fa-Carmichael ornaments, and Corcoran ornaments"
"I'm impressed" Judy smiles and looks at Fran "Where did you find all of this?"
"You'd be surprised what you can find in a attic" Judys face pales "Oh yeah"
"What's the 'oh yeah' that just happened?" Fran points to a vanilla folder on the coffee table "What's that?"
"Nothing!" Judy tries to get it but Fran grabs it "Give it! That's not yours!"
"Just show them" Fran smiles and hands it to Judy "I already have some copies just in case you don't"
"Christmas isn't for blackmail" Judy sighs and looks at us "These are...photos from years past"
Judy opens the folder and tons of photos are revealed. Some of Maribel, some of mom, some of them together, and some of Judy with one or the other. They look super old but the solo ones look different. They look like they were taken from a secret position.
"Did you stalk us?" Maribel looks at Judy confused or stunned...I can't tell "How did you take those?"
"I was forced away from you two but I still wanted to make sure you two were Ok" Judy looks at the photos and smiles "I took photos to make sure you both seemed healthy"
"Creep" Shelby walks over and gives Judy a kiss "But luckily you're my creep"
I smile at the love and lean into Lucy and grab Santana's hand. I hope we can be that happy at their age.
