A/N: This is the final chapter in this story; virtual high five if you realised before now that the first letter of each chapter title spells 'SAMCHEL' :D

"Happy anniversary!" Rachel exclaimed as she handed her and Sam's present to Kurt and Blaine. It was their fourth wedding anniversary, and all of their loved ones had gathered at Burt's house in Lima for a huge anniversary bash.

"Thank you!" Kurt said and hugged Rachel while Blaine hugged Sam. The four of them continued into the living room where the majority of the guests gathered and music played. Sam grabbed Rachel's hand and took her outside for a moment. They looked back and smiled at the sight of Kurt and Blaine slowly dancing together through the window.

"What's up?" Rachel asked.

"Well, it's Kurt and Blaine's fourth anniversary, and it's an anniversary for us, too." Sam said. Rachel smiled.

"Oh yeah, when we, uh..." Rachel blushed.

"Yeah. And I never looked back." Sam said, kissing Rachel as he took her hand.

"Neither did I." Rachel said. Sam smiled. They laughed as they heard a loud bump and Santana's laugh and saw a clearly drunk Puck get up off the floor.

"Four years. It's gone so fast." Sam said and Rachel nodded.

"Time flies when you're having fun. I love you." Rachel said.

"I love you too, Rachel Berry." Sam replied and held her close, snuggling in the cold.

"I don't regret a second of being with you, Sam. Who knows how it would've ended if Finn was still here but I can't say I'm not glad that we happened. You know you'll always be top of my list, right?" Rachel asked.

"You know, for the first year or so I always believed I'd be second best, but I'm not worried anymore. I felt like if you loved me then you'd have to stop loving Finn and you'd never be able to do that, and I could never and wouldn't want to replace Finn. I was wrong. I see now you'll always love both of us, and what we have if different to what you and Finn had, and that's okay. All that matters is here and now. All that matters is that I'm here with you." Sam said.

"Exactly. And our love will never die." Rachel added.

"Never." Sam whispered in Rachel's ear and kissed the side of her head.

"We should have an early night tonight, you know. We have to go back to New York tomorrow for your photoshoot, and I have an audition for a new show, remember?" Rachel said.

"Oh yeah, and you'll be a Broadway star once again!"

"That's the plan! About that, I was thinking of reinventing myself or my image for Broadway. You know, like a revival. I might get a proper stage name!" Rachel said.

"Sounds good to me!" Sam said with a huge smile.

"Great. Any ideas?" Rachel asked, genuinely interested.

"I've got one." Sam said.

"What?"

"...Rachel Evans."

Rachel turned and stared at Sam as he knelt down and pulled out a ring. She smiled before speaking.

"Rachel Evans? I like it."
