Santana smiled as she opened the front door and saw Kurt and Rachel on the other side. "Hi! Come on in!" Rachel and Kurt stepped into the apartment, looking around. "I know it's not that big or probably not as nice as what you guys are-
"Santana, it's perfect. I love it." Rachel said, smiling. Santana nodded. "Where are the birthday boy and girl?"
"They're in the living room. They've been so excited ever since I told them that you guys were coming." Kurt and Rachel followed their friend into the living room, smiling at the two children they'd seen pictures of and heard so much about, but never actually met. "Kiddos, this is Rachel and Kurt, they're my friends. They came to celebrate your birthday with you." Lilly and Miguel smiled widely, causing Rachel to walk over.
"You're pretty." Lilly said. Rachel smiled softly.
"Thank you. I think you're prettier though, because you look just like your mom and she's the prettiest woman I've ever met." she said, causing Lilly to smile shyly.
"Mommy, she said I look like you!" Santana chuckled.
"That's because you do, mija, only you're way prettier than I am." Lilly giggled and shook her head. Miguel looked at the bag of presents that Kurt was holding.
"Are those for me and Lil?" Santana's glared.
"Miguel Anthony Rutherford." she scolded, raising an eyebrow at her son. The boy shrunk in his seat, mumbling an apology. "Told you he was like me." she whispered, causing Kurt to smirk. Rachel as about to say something when Lilly made her way over to her mother.
"Mommy?" Santana smiled and bent down to her daughter's level.
"What's up, pretty girl?" Lilly wrapped her arms around her mom's neck. "You okay?"
"When do we eat?" Santana laughed as she hugged her daughter.
"The pizza is on the way, Lil. You'll get to eat soon enough." Lilly smiled shyly. "Then we'll have cupcakes, you guys can open your presents, and then we'll watch a movie before you guys go to bed. Sound good?" Lilly nodded before looking up at Kurt.
"Are you my Mommy's friend?" Kurt smiled and nodded.
"I've known your mom since we were your age." Lilly's eyes widened, causing Santana to laugh and kiss her cheek.
"Why don't you go play a game with Kurt while I finish getting dinner ready, okay?" Lilly nodded as Santana stood up. "I only ordered one pizza. They only eat one slice each and you two eat like birds, so there was no point in ordering more than one. I'm making a salad too."
"That sounds great." Santana nodded, smiling as Miguel told Rachel a story before moving into the kitchen.
"Present time, guys!" Santana said, grabbing the two packages and setting one in front of each child. "These are from Mommy." Miguel and Lilly quickly unwrapped their presents, squealing in excitement. "Do you like them?"
"Yeah!" Miguel said, hugging his mom. Santana smiled and looked at Lilly.
"That's the one you wanted, right?" Lilly nodded, smiling up at the waitress.
"Thank you, Mommy." Santana kissed her head.
"You're welcome, sweetie." The twins looked over at Rachel and Kurt. "Rach, you want to go next?"
"Sure!" The brunette grabbed two packages and two bags, setting them in front of Lilly and Miguel, who quickly unwrapped them.
"Lil, what'd you get?" Santana asked. Lilly grinned and showed her mom the coloring books and stuffed rabbit. "Awesome. What about you, Miguel?"
"Trucks!" Santana grinned as she watched him hug the stuffed bear. "Thanks!"
"Thank you." Rachel smiled softly.
"You're welcome. Happy birthday, guys." she said, looking over as Kurt set two packages in front of each child. Miguel opened the first one and looked up at Santana.
"It's a book." Santana smiled softly. "Will you read it to me?"
"Of course, buddy. That's one of my favorites too." Kurt smiled.
"They both are." Santana smiled as she saw Lilly hold up her other favorite. "Open the other ones." Lilly quickly opened the other present to find an outfit.
"Mija, you're going to look so pretty." Santana whispered, kissing her head as she turned to find Miguel holding up an outfit as well. "You are going to look so fly, little man." Miguel grinned. "What do you say?"
"Thank you." Kurt grinned.
"You're welcome." Santana bit her lip.
"Rach, hand me that envelope." When the envelope was in her hands, Santana smiled at the twins.
"This is from me. Happy birthday, guys." The twins carefully opened the envelope, screaming when they saw the familiar logo. "We're going next weekend."
"Thank you!" Santana grinned as they hugged her.
"I love you both so much." she whispered. Rachel smiled softly at the sight, leaning against Kurt.
"She's a great mom." she whispered. Kurt nodded in agreement.
"Did you guys like your presents?" Lilly nodded eagerly. "What about Rachel and Kurt? Did you like them?"
"They're really nice." Santana smiled.
"You know, Rachel's coming to the game with us. Is that okay?"
"Yeah! I like her!" Miguel said. Santana chuckled as she kissed her son's cheek.
"Oh! Mickey sent these for you two." she said, handing them each a present. Miguel opened his to find a remote control car.
"Cool!" Lilly opened hers to find a new doll.
"I was telling Mickey about this!" Santana grinned.
"I'll help you write thank you letters tomorrow." Miguel and Lilly nodded. "Come on, let's go pick a movie."
Kurt smiled as he stood next to Santana. "Your kids are great, San." Santana smiled softly as she watched Rachel play with the twins.
"Thanks. And thanks for doing all of this for them. It was really nice of you guys." Kurt followed her line of vision, raising an eyebrow.
"You know, she thinks you left because of her." Santana raised an eyebrow.
"Because of her?"
"Yeah, because of what happened right before you left." Santana took a deep breath.
"I didn't leave because Rachel was in love with me." she whispered. Kurt turned slightly, facing the waitress.
"Then why'd you leave?" he asked softly. Santana bit her lip.
"I left because I was in love with Rachel."
A/N: Yeah... :) See you in a couple of days!
