I've never been in love with someone so much in my life. How is it possible for this tiny person to make me feel so much love?
"You're perfect" I whisper in my loves ear. "Perfect"
"Hey" I look over at the door and see Sara. I wave for her to come in and she slowly makes her way over.
"Remember when you told me that you didn't know you could love something so much until you held Jacob in your arms" Sara nods her head. "I know exactly how you feel now" She smiles at me and softly places a kiss on my loves head. "Where's San?"
"She's on the phone with her mom and your dads said they will be here as soon as they can" I nod. "You're a mom Rae"
"I know"
"Welcome to the M.I.L.F. club. As president it's my duty to official initiate you in" She wiggles her eyebrows and I roll my eyes.
"Touch her and you're dead" We both turn our heads and see Santana coming in the room.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah" Sara replies. "So have you both decided on a name yet?" I look at Santana who just looks at me and shrugs her shoulders.
"We had names picked out but…" I look down at my loves face and smile. "None of them seem to fit now that we've officially met"
"It will come to you but it is Christmas so how about something original like Candy Cane or Reindeer"
"You freak I'm not naming my kid Candy Cane or Reindeer" Santana tells Sara and I just laugh.
"I like the Christmas theme though" I tell them both. "Maybe we can think of something that has to do with Christmas"
"How about Christmas and Hanukkah to be fair" Santana says and I nod my head in agreement. That's actually a really good idea.
"Okay where's my grand baby" All three of us look up and see Santana's mother. She throws her purse on the nearby chair and practically runs to me. "Give me" She takes my baby out of my arms and I open my mouth to protest but Santana looks at me and shakes her head.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" She whispers in my ear.
"Mi bebé hermoso. Soy tu abuela" Mrs. Lopez looks back over at us and just smiles. "Name, what's this angel's name"
"We don't know yet mama"
"We want something that represents Christmas and Hanukkah though" I tell Mrs. Lopez.
"Natalia" Mrs. Lopez says. "It means Christmas day" I look at Santana and Santana looks at me. "What do you think? Do you like Natalia little angel of mine?" Mrs. Lopez says looking at the baby and she coos.
"Laila" I turn and look at Sara. "If her first name is Natalia her middle name should be Laila" Sara gives me a lopsided smile and I do the same back.
"We need to call your father" Mrs. Lopez's says to Santana as she gets up and hands me back Natalia.
"I'll be right back" Santana tells me as she kisses my lips and heads outside with her mom.
"I can't use Laila" I tell Sara once they leave the room.
"Yes you can. You picked that name out in High School. It's what you always wanted to name your future baby girl"
"But that was when we…"
"That doesn't matter. You like that name and it means night. So there's your holiday baby name. Natalia Laila…"
"Lopez" I finish Sara's sentence.
"Poor kid" She says with a smile.
"Are you sure about this?" I ask one more time. I just don't feel right using a name we picked out together.
"I'm positive. Please use the name"
"You know I love you right?"
"Yeah I know. I better get going though. I have to put Puck down for his nap"
"Don't you mean Jacob?"
"Oh right him too" I just laugh. "I'm glad she's finally here Rae" Sara kisses Natalia on the forehead and then pecks me on the lips. "Call you later" As Sara moves I see Santana standing in the doorway. The two exchange head nods as Sara leaves the room.
"It was nothing just so you know"
"I know" Santana tells me calmly.
"I mean it was something but it's not what you think" Santana just laughs.
"I know Rach and its okay. You two clearly had a moment and not the kind of moment where I should be worried about" I just smile at her. "But if she touches you again I'm kicking her ass"
"Language" Santana rolls her eyes at me.
"So Natalia Laila?" I nod my head. "I like it" Santana comes over and strokes our baby girls face. "Guess you got your Christmas miracle after all huh?"
"Miracle?"
"This morning, you wished the baby would come out and you said if she did it would be your Christmas miracle"
"I did didn't I"
"I have to say this has been the best Christmas I ever had. I have you and my baby girl"
"It's been a Christmas to remember. I love San"
"I love you too Rach"
