Okay so here's another chapter. I know quick update yay! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter I put a lot of thought into it. Also the prom episode tuesday night was just pure genius. I loved it. I feel the writers and directors are finally tying up loose ends and healing the wounds from last year lack of finchel as a couple. Can't wait to see the last three episodes! I heard it's going to be a tear fest :'(

Sam POV:

"Sammy!" I heard when I got out of the car. I saw Stacie making a beeline towards me and I scooped her up as soon as she was in my reach.

She giggled as I tickled her. "Hey Stacie! How's my favorite girl?"

"Good I've missed you Sammy," she sadly stated after I placed her down.

"Hey I miss you too but I'm here now," I told her before helping her into the car. I felt someone ram into my leg and held on. I twisted around to see Stevie hugging me and laughed. "I've missed you too Stevie. Merry Christmas guys."

"Sammy Santa stopped by the house! But we can't open any gifts until tonight Mommy said," Stacie disappointedly sighed.

"It's ok Stac you're going to have tons of fun at the Hudson-Hummel house," I tried to cheer her up.

"Are we going to see Rachel and Finn?" Stevie asked as I picked him up and helped him into the back of the mini van.

I nodded. "Yes and another friend of mine," I added.

"Oh is it a boy or girl?" Stevie asked.

A grin spread across my face. "A girl."

"Ooo is she you're girlfriend?" Stacie teased.

I chuckled and nodded. "Eww girls have cooties," Stevie said in disgust.

I messed with his hair. "One day buddy you won't think that way."

"Hopefully not too soon. I already have one of my babies all grown up," someone said from behind me.

I turned to see my mom carrying a plate covered with alumni and a duffel bag in the other hand. I rushed to grab the bag and carefully hugged her. "Hi mom. Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas Sam. You look so healthy and grown up. Remind me to thank the Berry's for taking proper care of you," she commented while heading towards the car.

"Where's dad?" I asked.

"Getting some stuff. He should be out but maybe you should help him when you put that bag in the car," she replied before getting into the passenger seat.

After stuffing the bag in the trunk, I walked into the house to see my dad coming from the kitchen. "Hey dad. Merry Christmas," I said as he pulled me into a bear hug.

"Merry Christmas my boy." He patted my back then pulled away. He held onto my arms and quickly looked at me. "You look much more like a man now," he proudly commented. "How have you been holding up?"

I shrugged, grabbing some bags by the door entryway. "Besides missing you, mom, Stevie and Stacie, I've been good, school's going great, and I'm currently working in a music store called Between the Sheets."

He got the rest of the bags, following me out and locking the door. "That's good so what's this I hear about you having a girlfriend?"

I blushed at the question but slowly nodded. "Yeah her name is Charlie…well really Charlotte. Actually you'll meet her today because she spending Christmas with us, Blaine, the Berry's and the Hudson's."

He smiled. "Well I can't wait to meet her," he announced as he put the last bag in the trunk and got into the car. I couldn't wait for her to meet my family either but not as much as I couldn't wait to show her my surprise for her tonight. I just hope everything went smoothly.

Finn POV:

Finally Christmas day, the day I've been waiting for since Rachel and I got back together. As I drove to pick up Rachel, Sam and her dads, I thought of the last two Christmases. The first was when she was with Jesse St. Jackass and I couldn't be able to be with her, and then last year I couldn't be with her no matter how much I wanted to because she broke my heart when she told me about her and Puck. I never want to remember last year because that was by far the worst Christmas for me. This Christmas was different though; it was going to be perfect. I woke up early like a kid that couldn't wait to see Santa and called Rachel to make sure she was ready before I got there. Everything so far was going smoothly, my mom was home making her special Christmas breakfast while Kurt ordered Burt around on how to decorate finishing touches for tonight.

When I reached Rachel's, I beeped the horn twice before getting out of the car still keeping it running. Rachel was already coming out the door, flashing her gorgeous smile as she skipped towards me. "Merry Christmas Finn!" she said excitedly.

"Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah Rachel," I answered back before kissing her.

"Ah Finn," Mr. Hiram interrupted. I quickly pulled away from Rachel, rubbing the back of my neck nervously.

"Good Morning Sir," I greeted, sticking out my hand.

He laughed whole-heartedly, gripping my hand and shaking it firmly. "How many times do I have to tell you Finn its just Hiram." I slowly nodded, picking up some of the bags of parcels that Rachel had brought out. She picked up the others then took my hand in hers with her free hand.

"Ready?" I asked to the both of them. Rachel smile while nodding then looked at Hiram, who turned towards the door and called out for Leroy to hurry up.

"You kids put the bags in the car and we'll be there," he offered.

We walked to the truck and I placed the bags in the back then helped Rachel into the passenger side. I ran to the driver side and got in, turning on the heater. "Where's Sam?" I asked.

She rubbed her hands together then kept them close to the heater. "He went to get his family early this morning and should be at your house around noon. What about Charlie and Blaine?"

"She should be at my house now or heading there and Blaine is coming around noon too because he's spending the morning with his parents," I explained and she nodded.

"I'm so happy to be spending this Christmas with you Finn," she genuinely stated. I half-grinned, taking her hand and tenderly kissed the back of it.

"I love you Rachel Barbara Berry and I promise you that you'll have the best Christmas ever and many more to come," I whispered as I caressed her cheek.

She brightly smiled, leaning into my touch as she closed her eyes. "I'll hold you to that promise."

Glee!

"Why is Charlie still in her car?" Rachel asked when we reached my house and parked behind her. I shrugged confused by what she was doing too.

"I'll go talk to her," I said as I got out of the truck. She jumped when I bent down and tapped her window. She smiled, waved and came out, dragging a big plastic bag along with her. "Hey why aren't you inside?" I asked as she hugged me.

She gently bit her lip. "I'm really nervous Finn. I…I never had these hug intimate family Christmases and I don't know if your family will like me. Even worst Sam's family! They might not like me," she vented, as her face grew pale from the thought.

I chuckled, earning a hit to my arm. "Ow!"

"I'm serious Finn. This situation is serious," she stressed.

I stopped laughing and put both of my hands on her shoulders. "You have nothing to worry about because you're a great person and one of my closest friends. Now whatever you're thinking clear it out of your pretty little head and just be you."

She nodded encouraged by my words. She breathed in then out. "Ok you're right. Thanks," she said with her dimpled smile.

"That's what friends are for," I said, forming a fist and gently hitting her chin playfully, causing her to laugh. I walked back to the truck and got the bags while Rachel and her dads hugged and said their hellos to Charlie. "Don't worry I got all the bags," I joked at the group as they waked towards the house but they didn't hear me. I shook my head watching Kurt at the entrance helping Leroy and Hiram with their trays of baked goods. When I walked up the pathway, I looked towards the bay view window watching what was going on inside.

My mom hugged everyone then Rachel pulled Charlie along with her, probably introducing the two. My mom smiled and quickly engulfed Charlie into a hug to her surprise but she smiled and hugged her back. She was passed onto Burt while Rachel's dads talked to Kurt and Blaine and Rachel talked animatedly talked to mom. Charlie shook hands with Burt and helped him put more presents under the tree. I grinned at the site because as much as I wanted to be inside, I loved it even more to watch these little exchanges.

"Finn!" Rachel called out to me, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked to the door to see her in her beautiful green dress she wore when she sang 'River' in the auditorium, leaning against the door showing off her perfectly white teeth and red painted lips. "What's taking so long," she asked, amused. I picked up the bags that I dropped when I was thinking.

"Nothing just thinking how awesome today's going to be," I stated, walking through the door.

"Well why think when you can actually enjoy it," she expressed before closing the door behind us.

Glee!

After everyone got settled in the house, Charlie gnawed at her pointer finger and started pacing while waiting for Sam and his family to come. "I think you should relax Char." Rachel tried to calm her down.

She stopped at looked at us. "Sorry I'm just nervous on what his family will think of me," she confessed. She looked up at the Christmas tree, smoothing out invisible wrinkles off her crimson colored thick-strapped dress that stopped just above her knees. "I never get dressed up willingly for such important events nor do I wear much make up. I probably look ridiculous," she humorless said with a dry laugh.

"Are you kidding me? You look amazing," Kurt complimented. "You couldn't look any better than if I dressed you."

"Kurt's right. You just be your charming self and you'll have them wrapped around your finger like you have Sam," Rachel teased, scooting closer to me.

Blaine sat up a little straighter. "Yeah Charlie. You're really stunning and you have nothing to worry about because it would be impossible for you to look bad in front of anyone," he encouraged, trying to cheer her up.

"I second that," someone added. We all looked at the entrance to see Sam and his family, holding a few bags.

"Sam!" Rachel and Kurt cried in excitement, jumping up to greet Sam and his family as they helped bring things in.

I did my usual handshake with Sam before going to help his family. Sam walked towards Charlie, grabbing her hands and lightly kissing her. "You look so beautiful," I heard him say a little breathless. The last thing I saw before walking into the kitchen was Charlie smiling as Sam walked her towards his parents introducing them.

Rachel POV:

Carole and I placed two different turkeys on the table where everyone was seated. Mine was a vegan turkey and hers was for those who didn't necessarily agree with my vegan ways. I looked around to see all the food we had. Carole and I cooked most of the meal like the turkey, mash potatoes, vegan lasagna and stuffing. Sam's mom made her famous macaroni and cheese, Charlie brought biscuits and Spanish rice, and Kurt and Blaine fixed up a vegetable salad. "Dinner is officially served," I excitedly said as I sat next to Finn, who kissed me on my cheek sweetly.

"Wow this is just too much," Burt praised towards Carole and me.

"Well I couldn't have done it without Rachel here and of course everyone else who brought a dish with them," Carole remarked, holding my hand and squeezing it lightly. "Ok so why don't we go around and say what we're thankful for?"

"I'll go first," Kurt volunteered. "I'm grateful for the designer clothes I know I got for Christmas and my loving boyfriend."

Blaine smiled at him then went next. "I'm grateful to just be here with you guys."

"I'm grateful for all the toys Santa brought me!" Stacie squealed.

"Yeah," Stevie agreed. All the adults laughed at how cute they were.

"I'm thankful for having a job and having stability," Sam's dad, Dwight explained.

"And for our children," Sam's mom, Mary added.

"For my husband and little star," my daddy said as my other dad clinked his glass with him.

"I agree with that," he happily said.

"I'm thankful for a healthy and peaceful year of marriage," Carole said.

"I'm grateful for having Carole here keep me on my diet so I can live as long as I can," Burt explained.

"I'm thankful for my friends, family and Charlie, my gorgeous girlfriend" he smiled towards Charlie, slipping his hand in hers. "What about you?" he asked her.

"Um…" she looked around the room, thinking of something to say. "I'm thankful for…being apart of something so very special. I haven't been apart of something so warm and loving for a long time," she choked on some of her words.

"I'm thankful for my family of course, old and new friends and my amazing girlfriend, who opened my eyes to a world of possibilities," Finn said as Rachel leaned on his shoulder.

"I'm grateful for all of you because you all are such a big part of my life especially Finn, who has made me realize how incredibly lucky I am. I truly hope we have many more of these gatherings in the future," I finished, looking to Carole, who looked like she was on the verge of tears when she raised her glass.

"Cheers to the HudMelBerryEvans clan and of course with the addition of Charlie," she voiced as everyone raised his or her glass along with her.

"Cheers!" Everyone shouted before digging in on this amazing dinner.

Glee!

"Is it time to open presents!" Stevie asked impatiently as we all finished dessert.

"Yes Stevie it's time to open gifts." Mary

"Yay," Stevie and Stacie

Everyone walked into the living room and situated themselves. Kurt, Blaine, the kids, Finn and I sat on the floor. I snuggled bin between Finn's legs as he wrapped his arms around me. My fathers sat on the couch next to Charlie and Sam. Carole sat on the armrest of the one-seater couch Burt was sitting on and Mary and Dwight were sitting on the loveseat.

"Ok so we have a family tradition every year on who's Santa and this year it's Kurt's turn."

"Yes finally! Ok Blaine here's your gift."

Blaine gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before opening his gift, which was a brand new scarf and light blue Ray Bans. Blaine picked out his gift to him as Kurt quickly snatched it, wasting no time in opening it. "Omg! Blaine you shouldn't have!"

"What's that?" Finn asked not knowing what the rave about shoes was.

"They're beige Gucci Guccisima GG Canvas Lace-Up designer shoes Finn."

We all laughed at Kurt's flare for being dramatic then he continued to pass out the gifts. Stacie and Stevie got mostly dolls and games. Sam got them gift cards to spend wherever they wanted. Sam's parents got him the new Xbox that he couldn't wait to play at home and he got his parents certificates to a fancy restaurant by where they leave. Mary got Dwight a new tool set and he got her Chanel, her favorite perfume. I got my daddies five of their favorite Fred Astaire films and they both got each other gift cards to their favorite stores. My daddies got me a necklace with an apple that represented NYC and got Finn a new vest jacket. Finn got my daddies cigars and their favorite scotch with the help of Burt getting them for him. Finn and Kurt got Carole and Burt a digital picture frame. Carole gave Burt the latest tools for the shop. Burt gave Carole a new kitchen set. Carole and Burt gave Finn new boots because he ruined his old ones at work and gave Kurt a designer messenger bag then they gave me a new animal sweater. "Oh thank you," I cried, hugging each of them.

"No problem sweetie. Finn told us you're very into these type of sweaters."

Kurt heavily sighed, rolling his eyes. "Thanks Carole I was trying to get to NOT wear those ugly sweaters," he whined.

"Oh hush Kurt. You know you like it," I teased, earning another eye roll.

I gave Sam the limited edition of Star Wars, Burt and Carole a digital camera that went with the frame, Kurt a yearlong supply of hair products, and Blaine a pair of boxing gloves. Kurt gave Finn a signed jersey from his favorite football player, Eli Manning, Sam tickets to Avatar on Ice and a pack of chapstick because that's what he really wanted and gave me a beautiful dress that definitely wasn't me. Blaine gave Finn and Sam different colored plaid shirts and me gold star knee socks. Finn gave Kurt and Blaine two tickets to the local theater's musical. Sam gave Blaine, Kurt, Finn and I certificates for a free dinner and dessert at Breadstixs. Finn gave Sam the latest video game, which I don't care much for but they were talking about playing online together tomorrow. Charlie got Kurt and Blaine got video cams so they could video chat when Kurt was in NYC. She got all our parents a hundred dollar American Express gift cards as well. Kurt picked up a present and walked towards Charlie. Her mouth hung opened in surprise. "For me?" she asked clearly not expecting any gifts.

I laughed. "Of course silly. Open it," I urged.

When she opened it, she stared down at the present for a while. "What's this?" she asked speechless.

"It's something from all of us. The necklace is from Blaine and I," Kurt explained as she lifted the heart shaped necklace filled with diamonds gently in her hand. She traced it once before putting it back in the box and taking out the gift, a charm bracelet with a music note already attached to it, Finn and I bought her.

"That's from Finn and I," I claimed. She looked at me, tears threatening to come down as she nodded and smiled.

"Rachel, Finn this is perfect. Thank you," she expressed before getting up and hugging us tightly. "Here," she rushed, taking grabbing a bag and box from behind the couch. She handed the box to Finn and me the bag. I opened it to reveal a signed album and poster from Barbara Streisand.

"H…how did you get this?" I asked truly touched. This was by far the best gift ever.

"No way!" Finn shouted in excitement. I looked over to see Finn playing with red sticks. "How did you get Neil Peart to sign these?"

She shrugged. "To answer you're questions I found them on eBay. The competitors were pretty challenging but they were no match for me," she stated nonchalantly as if it was no big deal.

"This is amazing thank you," I voiced, hugging her again then Finn hugged her.

"Yeah I'm never putting these down," Finn said, smiling his lopsided grin while he threw his arm over my shoulders. I leaned into him, watching her give Sam his gift. He revealed a white gold Michael Kor's watch. "Charlie…"

"Don't. I saw it and it remained me of you so I had to get it," she said before Sam's lips crashed onto hers.

They broke apart with Sam caressing her cheek. "I have your present but it has to wait for later."

She shook her head. "It's ok because just being with you here is all I ever wanted," she happily sighed.

While they were having their moment, I looked up at Finn and smiled when I caught from staring lovingly at me. "I love you," I professed.

He kissed the top of my head. "I love you too."

I jumped up from my comfortable position. "Good because I got you something," I cheerfully said as I grabbed the bag from behind the tree. I reached in and pulled out his leathermen jacket. "I couldn't just let you be the only guy in school without his jacket and I know how much you love it because you earned it," I finished then he roared in laughter. Everyone in the room looked at him confused or as if he was crazy. "What's so funny?" I asked amused by his behavior.

"I…I'm laughing because I got you this," he said pulling a box out of his pocket.

I gasped when he opened it. It was the earrings I pawned so I could give back to the homeless. They were just as beautiful as I first saw them. I looked back up at Finn. "But…"

"I went back and got them because even though what you did was awesome and you're awesome these rightfully belong to you."

I giggled. "I guess great minds think alike," I said before jumping into his arms and hugging him tightly not aware of the thumbs up he shot at Charlie and the wink he shot him back.

That's the end of this chapter. Good? Bad? Please review. I only have one more part of christmas for this story. I would've ended it with part three but I had more to write like Charlie's interaction with Sam's mom and what Sam's gift to Charlie is. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and I'll be sure to update sometime next week.
