-Chapter 35- HAPPY NEW YEAR!!-
-Rachel Pov-
Christmas has come and passed. The moms are setting up for New Years currently in the kitchen. I never though I'd be so happy that it was New Years before! I'm used to spending it alone but now I GOT A FAMILY! I put a hand on my stomach and smile.
I've spent the last few days thinking about the future. I talked with the girls the day after Christmas. They told me that I could decide whatever I wanted to. They told me what they hoped for but didn't want to add pressure.
I look at a shirt Santana got me and nod. That's what I'll wear today. I put the shirt on and find some pants to match. Sugar and Brittany are coming over later along with Cherry. The first two said they had something important to announce. We all are pretty sure Cherry still has some brain damage.
OH! Dave Karofsky is coming too! We saw him a few days ago and invited him to the small gathering. Puck almost got allowed but...we were told he went to go see Finn. Carol told us what was said about us. It's for the best we forget about him in my opinion. He'll probably end up in prison before too long. Something just worries me about him. Something hidde.
"RACHEL!" I jump out of my thoughts at Santanas voice "COME ON!"
"I'm coming!" I look at my attire and smile happily "I look good"
I walk down the stairs and see Santana smile. She wraps me in a hug and I laugh. Lucy walks in confused until Santana moves. Once she reads the shirt and looks at me, I'm in her arms. I chuckle and go to the moms.
"You look happy" I nod to Judy who still hasn't looked at me fully "I'm sorry I can't talk much right now"
"OH MY GOD!" I look at Maribel who has tears in her eyes "Is this your choice?"
I nod and Shelby finally looks before gasping "RACHEL!" She runs and gives me a hug "I'm so happy!"
"Whats all the screaming about?" Judy finally fully looks at me and tears spring to her eyes "Y-your gonna keep it?"
"I am" Mom finally lets go of me "I don't think I could put it up for adoption like Lucy did"
Lucy sighs "It was hard for me" We look at each other and she gives me a small smile "You're making the right choice"
"Thank you" I look at everyone smiling "We are going to have another little one!"
There's a round of cheers and more hugs. I have a good feeling about today. I really hope that stays true to the day.
-Time skip-Lucy pov-
Everyone has slowly trickled in and started conversing. It's honestly been a good night. Dave got the baby a pair of shoes with stars on them. Rachel had some tears that feel as she hugged the giant. I knew we could get him on our side. There's a knock on the door and I'm the only one able to get it.
I walk to the door and open it "No" I look at Noah whos visibly intoxicated "Go away"
"I just wanba seeeeeeeeeeee beth" He starts to take a step in but I put a hand on his chest "Hey! Do nott toooch me!"
"You're drunk and not coming in" He looks at me angrily but I don't back down "Please! Just go!"
"Is he bothering you?" I look back to see Dave has come over "Noah please just go"
"THIS FUCKER CAN SEE HER BUT I CAN'T" Now he's angrily in my face "You slutty bitch!"
"Hey Noah" A fist flys past my head and knocks Noah down "Get the fuck out of her"
Dave pushes Noah away from the door and closes it. He gives me a smile before walking away. He's been wanting to do that for awhile based on that punch. It was hard, precise, and fast. I shake my head with a smile and go back to join the family. I roll my eyes playfully as I see Rachel standing with Brittany holding microphones.
Let the first karaoke song start.
-Rachel-Brittany-Both-
If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
Fifteen miles to the, love shack, love shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway
Lookin' for the love getaway
Headed for the love getaway, love getaway
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
And we're headin' on down to the love shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about twenty
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The love shack is a little old place where
We can get together
Love shack baby
A love shack baby
Love shack, baby love shack
Love shack, baby love shack
Love shack, baby love shack
Love shack, baby love shack
Sign says, woo, stay away fools
'Cause love rules at the love shack
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
The love shack is a little old place where
We can get together
Love shack, baby
Love shack, baby
Love shack, that's where it's at
Love shack, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a-kissin', dancin' and a-lovin'
Wearin' next to nothing 'cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies
Yeah the whole shack shimmies
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's movin' around
And around and around and around
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack
Funky little shack
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale
And it's about to set sail
I got me a car, it seats about twenty, so come on
And bring your jukebox money
The love shack is a little old place where
We can get together
Love shack baby
A love shack baby
Love shack, baby love shack
Love shack, baby love shack
Love shack, baby love shack (oh baby that's where it's at)
Love shack, baby love shack (baby that's where it's at)
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can't hear you
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder sugar!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can't hear you
Bang bang bang on the door baby, knock a little louder
Bang bang on the door baby, bang bang!
On the door baby, bang bang!
On the door, bang bang!
On the door baby, bang bang!
You're what?
Tin roof
Rusted!
Love shack, baby love shack!
Love shack, baby love shack!
Love shack, baby love shack!
Love shack, baby love shack!
"Well" We all look at Santana who get up and grabs the mic from Rachel "That was hot and I'm gonna bring the mood back to chill"
We all laugh as Santana sets up a song. When the music begins it clicks in my head the song.
-Santana singing-
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never rule this world
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never rule this world
But that was when I ruled the world
We all clap as she takes a bow, laughing. We get a few more songs in before dinner and board games. After that we talk some more and before we know it the ball is ready to drop. I look toward the loveseat and see Brittany holding onto Sugar. I smile and realize what's gonna happen when that ball drops.
"10! 9! 8! 7!" Brittany smiles at me and I nod "4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
As the ball drops Brittany dips Sugar and they share a kiss. Everyone cheers and the two break up blushing. I chuckle at them as they get congratulations. I look to my left and see Dave sitting alone. I get up and walk over to him. I sit down and look at everyone laughing.
"You're more than welcome in our family Dave" I look at him and he slowly looks at me "We accept you for you"
"My dad shunned me" Dave looks back toward everyone "Seeing this makes me wanna join your group"
"We'd love you in it" He looks back at me and I stand up. I hold my hand out for him "Come on"
"Thanks" He chuckles and grabs my hand before picking me up "I got a Lucy PiƱata!"
Everyone laughs and I smile. The night finishes off great and Noah doesn't pop back up. I really hope this New Year brings us all closer. I really want to have a real family again. I honestly think with these people I can.
I just really hope it lasts.
