I was going to work out before work today but this happened instead. Hopefully that means the block is gone and I can keep going with the story now. If not, I'll just keep planning exercise.

This is the second part of the last chapter.

As always, thank you for the amazing reviews! You make me happy!


Santana POV

This is the first Christmas morning that I've woken up with someone in my bed besides Bailey in so many years. It would have been so easy for me to stay in bed with my beautiful girl the entire day.

We got through breakfast pretty quickly, I think both Dani and Bailey are as excited as each other about opening presents.

We're sitting under the tree and I hand presents out to both of them from 'Santa'. Dani hands me a couple of presents. I got a book that I've been meaning to buy as well as some new make-up. Santa is good. Bailey has torn through his presents like a crazy person and is already playing with his new toys. I took Dani shopping with me to buy him presents and I had to stop her from going nuts, particularly given that his birthday is only a couple of months away.

I look over to Dani to see her watching me. "What?" I ask her

"You're cute" She says which causes me to roll my eyes. I know I'm blushing now. She makes me feel 15 years old sometimes.

"Whatever" I say sticking my tongue out at her. I move to get up so I can get her last present from my bedroom.

"Wait, I haven't given you your present" she says to me while grabbing my hand.

"I'll be right back" I say kissing her nose.

When I get back to the lounge room, Bailey and Dani are playing together.

"So I didn't know what I could possibly get the girl who can buy whatever she wants.." I trail off as Dani gives me her attention.

I hand her the gift bag hoping she likes what's inside. She opens it up to reveal the Michael Kors handbag I know she was looking at during our recent shopping trips.

"Oh my god babe!" She squeals excitedly then jumps up to hug me.

"I knew you had been eyeing it so I figured it was a safe bet"

"This is amazing, thank you so much" She kisses me and then sits back down to start opening up the bag's various compartments. She pulls out the second part of the gift I hid inside.

"What's this?"

"That's the rest of your present"

She unwraps the paper to reveal a leather bound album. When she opens the first page, I start thinking that maybe she won't like it.

"I just thought that it would be nice to document your time in New York" I add nervously.

She has read through the first few pages which included a napkin from our trip to Harry's, a No Junk Mail sticker, some photos of her and Bailey from our first Sunday together. I tried to include everything that I could up until now, not just of our time together but of other things she has done since she's been in New York.

When she has got to the end, she looks up at me with tears in her eyes and a great big smile on her face.

"I also left lots of pages so we can keep updating it if you want" I say shyly as she jumps up again to kiss me excitedly. I kiss her back, trying to convey all of my feelings in that kiss. We pull back breathlessly after a couple of minutes.

"Do you like it?" I ask her

"I love it; it's the best present I've ever gotten" She kisses me again, wrapping me in her arms.

"Bailey helped me" She laughs a little at this then pulls back so she can pick Bailey up to include him in our hug.

"Did you help your Mami with my present?" He smiles and nods at her. She kisses his cheek and thanks him before cuddling back in to us both.

"What's funny about that is that he helped me with your present too." She says

"Oh really?" I ask

"Yup, I'm hoping he kept my secret"

"Well he hasn't said anything to me. I think we both chose the perfect little helper for Christmas presents, don't you?"

"Definitely" Bailey knows we're talking about him and he starts to giggle as I take him from Dani and sit down on the couch.

Dani goes over to the tree and comes back with a small wrapped gift. I don't know where she had it hidden as I was sure we had opened everything under the tree besides my family's gifts.

"Here" She hands me the box and I raise my eyebrows at her with a smile while taking it from her.

"What is it?" I ask before starting to unwrap the paper.

"Why don't you wait and see, dork"

When the paper is gone, it reveals a Tiffany box. Before I even open it, I look at Dani shocked, knowing that whatever is in here is going to be a lot more extravagant than a handbag and a scrapbook. I start tearing up, a range of emotions flowing through me.

"Dani.." I say, my voice breaking slightly. She sits down next to me, her arm around my waist.

"Just open it.." She says comfortingly.

I open the box to reveal a solid gold bangle. I've seen it before given that I'm a regular window shopper at the store near my office. Not only do I know that it's from their most recent Atlas collection, I also know this would not have been cheap at all. I still can't make words when Dani starts to help me pull it out of the box. I've never had someone give me something like this before and I honestly have no idea what to say.

"Here, let's put it on you" She says, grabbing my arm to slide it over my wrist.

"Dani, this is too much" I say, conflicted between not wanting to give it back and feeling like she overspent greatly on me.

"Do you like it?" She asks simply.

I start tearing up again and nod at her. Damn these emotions.

"I love it." I say

"Then it's perfect." She replies wrapping me in her arms.

"Thank you so much" I say pulling her in to me to convey how grateful I am in a kiss.

We're interrupted a few minutes later by Bailey who has grown bored of us not paying him any attention.

"When are we going to Abuela's?" He asks

"Not for a little while, you can go and play with your toys for a bit longer and I'll come and get you when it's time to get ready"

"Okay" He says happily and climbs down from the couch. As he starts to walk away, he turns back, running back over to Dani and I.

"Merry Christmas Mami! Merry Christmas Den!" He grins.

We pull him in to us squeezing him in a cuddle before letting him go.

Best Christmas Ever.


Dani POV

We've been at Santana's parents' house for a few hours now. We had some lunch and opened gifts again. I didn't expect anything from anyone, but they really went out of their way to make me feel included which was really nice. I had called my family this morning before we left to check in and plan to Skype with them tonight when they're doing the big family get together. I'm hoping Santana feels up to meeting some of the family via Skype as they won't stop talking about her.

Everyone has retreated to the loungeroom and are quietly suffering food hangovers from lunch. I'm currently sitting on the couch drinking coffee while Santana and Bailey play with one of the new toys he got from his grandparents. I'm glad Santana managed to stop me from going too crazy while buying Christmas presents for Bailey, she's right, he has gotten plenty of stuff today. I've been taking random photos throughout the day and I just managed to get a candid shot of both Bailey and Santana laughing together that has made my heart swell with the happiness flowing from them.

Since moving to New York, I haven't been as active on social media. One of the reasons being that I'm not doing much besides recording but the other reason is because I've been far too distracted by Santana. I decide to logon and see what's happening. Most of my Twitter feed are the standard Merry Christmas posts with a few random witty bah humbug comments. I decide a simple tweet to wish the fans Merry Christmas is warranted given my absence recently.

Spending the day with some amazing people in NYC. Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you're all keeping safe. I'll try not to disappear again

After hitting send, I put my phone in my pocket and move on to the floor to where Bailey and Santana are.

"There you are" She says kissing me chastely on the cheek.

"I was just watching.. and tweeting"

"Tweeting huh?" She says smirking at me.

"Yeah well I haven't done it much in the last few months, I've been a little distracted"

"Oh yeah? What with?" She says knowing exactly why

"Oh you know, this amazing girl I met"

"Oh really, do I know her?"

"Nah, I don't think so, she's probably out of your league"

"She sounds like a bitch then" I laugh at her then.

"Nah she's pretty perfect" She grins then and pretends to bite me.

I stick my tongue out at her.

"So what does one 'tweet' about when they're a superstar?"

"I just said I was spending the day with some great people and wished the fans Merry Christmas"

"You're very cute you know" She says smiling at me again.

"Yeah I know" I roll my eyes at her knowing she's playing with me.

"Maybe I need to get on this Twitter thing to keep up to date with what's happening with you"

"Well, it's the only way you'll know so it might be a good idea" I say jokingly.

"Will you help me? I'm hopeless with that stuff. I have a Facebook that I haven't touched in like 2 years."

"Sure. One question though?" I say kissing her softly.

"What?"

"Do you mind if people know about us? I mean I know there have been articles about us and random pictures, but I haven't admitted to anything yet. I just want to know if you have a problem with me mentioning you or whatever" I ask, slightly nervous of her response.

"I don't mind. I trust you to know what you can and can't post about me, or even Bailey for that matter. I don't like the idea of Bailey being photographed and written about in magazines, but I know that at some point it will happen. And as far as I'm concerned, it's not like I have anything to hide, so I'm fine with whatever. If there's something you're not sure you should post, then ask me. Okay?" She says confidently.

"Yep!" I say getting excited at the opportunity to formally acknowledge our relationship.

"Good. Have you had a good day?" She asks.

"I've had the best day" I say, kissing her again.


Santana POV

Today was such a long day but it was so amazing. As soon as we got home, I got Bailey bathed and in bed and Dani and I sat on the couch and snuggled until she had to Skype with her parents and the rest of her family. I have to admit, I was so nervous, even though I wasn't exactly meeting them in person. They were all so bubbly and friendly though, exactly the same as Dani and I can see why she goes through every day with such a positive outlook on life. We chatted with them for close to an hour before we decided it was getting late and we should head to bed. While I was in the shower, Dani had set me up a Twitter account and had logged me in on my iPad so I could play with it while she was in the shower. I was currently curled up in bed trying to understand how the stupid thing worked. Currently I think I was on my own profile, creatively titled, nojunkmail, as there was a tiny picture of me at the top. When I looked under tweets I noticed that there was something that I think I had supposedly written.

Dani Taylor is the most amazing human ever

I rolled my eyes, smiling and clicked on Dani's name which took me to her twitter page. Her most recent tweet had a link attached and said "These are a few of my favourite things.." I clicked on the link and when it opened up there was a picture of Bailey and I from today playing with his toys by my mom's Christmas tree. The photo made me smile so wide that when Dani walked back in to the room she looked at me sceptically; trying to determine what had me grinning. I turned my iPad around to show her the picture which made her smile back.

"How do I save it?" I ask her.

"Let me get dressed and then I'll show you" She says starting to pull her pyjamas on.

"Okay." I say excitedly.

"Merry Christmas babe" She says as she starts climbing in to bed.

"Merry Christmas" I say pulling her in for a kiss.
