No.

Stop thinking about it.

It was wrong, it was cheating Sam. And you know it.

Don't deny it to yourself, face it.

'Dude seriously, if you keeping thinking stuff to yourself instead of telling me I'm gonna start swinging at your arms! You just won Sectionals again, you should be celebrating with your lady and showing her the ways of the one and only...Puckfasa!'

Noah Puckerman throws a tight hug over Sam to congratulate him for the win over The Warblers at the 2012 Sectionals Competition. Sam hugs him back and lightly shoves him off with a chuckle. 'Come on man, you know we could've beaten them in our sleep. All of their little tricks to throw us off didn't work in their favor last year and they didn't work this year.'

'Yeah really. Those punks think they could do anything they want and get away with it but they don't have the Puckerman scrotes like Jake and I have. That's why I think you won actually! Because with one Puckerman on stage and another Puckerman in the audience, our awesomeness together in place just electrified everything!' The theory alone was enough to have Sam laughing just at how in depth he made it out to be. Puck began to glare at him before looking over to a certain blonde walking up him.

'Think what you want Squirrel Head Mc I-Clean-Pools-For-A-Living. But everyone knows now that without the Glee Club begging me to help them by being their twelfth member just so they could compete, we wouldn't even be here.' Kitty walks up from behind Sam and links their arms with one another to give it a small hug before eying back to Noah. 'My Cheerios and dance practice really showed there ultimately guaranteeing us victory. Simple as that.' Sam looks between the both of them with a smile wondering how well this is going to go Puck.

'Whatever, you know? You're lucky that you're hot as hell and Sam's girl or else I wouldn't have to force to agree with you. My half bro with the afro will understand though.' Puck suffers defeat just as both Sam and Kitty expected and laugh amongst themselves as he gets upset over it. 'At least you two are awesome together. I swear whenever I visit here, it's always 'Marley this' and 'Marley that' with Jake and they're really cute with their Songpop dates and all but come on already!'

Sam and Kitty end their laughter when Quinn walks up behind Puck and looks at both of them. She wraps her arm around Noah and giggles before looking at him. 'Be happy for him, Noah. They're making more progress than we did.' She pats him on the back and locks eyes with Sam, who starts to advert his gaze to the floor, making Quinn feel a hint of sadness inside herself.

She clears her throat after glancing to Kitty and tries to break the silence. 'So hey, that was some performance, huh? Sam, you did really amazing up there keeping up with Britt and-'

'Why don't you save the obvious unbelievable bullshit and and back off already? We all know why you're really back here with us and let me tell you something. Neither me or Sam want to he-'

'How about you keep your annoying bitchy mouth shut before I close it myself? I was talking to Sam, not you.' Both Kitty and Quinn begin to fiercely glare each other down almost like back at Homecoming while Puck and Sam wide eye each other back not knowing what's going to happen. 'You only aspire to be me because you'll never be me, you'll never be better than me Kitty.'

Kitty rolls her eyes not being affected by one thing Quinn has to say to her. Yes, she respects Quinn for being the best Cheerio that McKinley High has had until now. She believes she's on top now and Kitty is loving every second of it. 'Blah blah blah. Again, save it. I know why you're here and I'm telling you right now that Sam has no interest in having a baby with you because he's smart. He wants to be with me and have a future than to throw his life away with YOU.'

Quinn has heard enough from her already and begins to march towards Kitty in which she releases her arm from Sam and storms towards her. In all of a few seconds, Sam grabs Kitty while Puck reaches out to grab Quinn trying to hold both them both back as they continue to shout insults at each other. Puck picked Quinn up with his strength to lead her away from both of them, trying not to ruin their celebration.

'You bitch, he still loves me! Sam still loves me and you can't stop it...!' Quinn's voice fades farther away from them as Puck carries her far away back to the audience, leaving Sam setting Kitty down backstage to her short height to his.

'Cheerios royalty my ass, she is just...UGH!' She groans out shaking her head, taking deep breaths while Sam places his hands on her shoulders to try and relax her. 'I guess those teen mom hormones never really do leave once they come around.' Sam chuckles before leaning in to kiss her weakly as he's been doing ever since the incident with Quinn. He's been trying this hols time to hold back his guilt and make it seem to Kitty that everything's fine, but he can't. Sam Evans loves Kitty Wilde and he hurt her, and the only way to make things right would be to tell her that he cheated.

'Sam, what's going on with you lately? Every time we're together or even when we kiss...you're not having seconds thoughts about me, are you? After all this time?'

Now's your chance, dude. Just tell her right now that you cheated. Damn it, Sam! I don't want to lose her but I'm not sure how much longer I can keeping lying to her.

His eyebrow raised and a soft smile forming on his face to shield what was really going on in Sam's head was all it took for him to keep this self-onslaught on his mind going. He didn't want to lose Kitty, not now not ever. But eventually the truth had to be revealed and it wouldn't be easy for either of them but it was the right thing that had to be done. Sam shook away each thought before pulling Kitty to him for a soft but deep kiss, the first real one he's given her since.

'Hey, if I was having seconds thoughts I'd do something crazy like..marry Brittany just in case the whole Mayan calendar theory was true. But I'm not, okay? I only want you in my life right now.' Sam pulls her into a tight hug as she nuzzles into him, only their moment soon ends when the rest of the New Directions flood the backstage with their Sectionals trophy and all form one huge group hug.

Mr. Schue is all smiles as he holds up the trophy in the air and looks around to his show choir group with pride and joy. 'Next stop, Regionals!' The New Directions cheer all around with each other and holding up the trophy as Quinn Fabray watches the celebration play out from the other side of the backstage area, eying Sam and Kitty once more before exiting from them back through the audience with a determined look on her face.

The last Glee Club bell of the year rings which means Christmas vacation has officially started in Lima, Ohio. Mr. Schue wishes everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Brittany and Sam sit up from their chairs and begin to walk together out of the room with Brittany saying her 'final goodbyes' to everyone before the Mayan apocalypse comes around.

'Sam, I'm really going to miss you these next few days before we all die from this apocalypse. I'm going to miss everyone here.' She gives a soft smile and a hug while Sam tries to hold back his chuckle returning the hug. 'You won't die Britt, no one will. My huge lips will just absorb whatever is thrown at us and I'll save the day.' She sighs with a smile before pulling back to look at him.

'Well if that's true, you'll be everyone's hero and you'll be known worldwide for being our savior. But either way if it's happening or not, Santana and I are going to enjoy our final hours with sweet lady kisses all around.' He smiles at her noticing Blaine walking by them to go to his locker so he says his goodbye to her and walks up to Blaine with a bit on his plate to give him.

Blaine starts putting a few of his things away and he notices Sam walking towards him in the corner of his eye. He takes off his one strapped bag and turns his cheek to face him. 'Cyclops.' They both point and say to each other. 'Okay dude, you're Cyclops. He's more likely to gel his hair than Wolverine, just face it.' Blaine laughs and throws his bag in his locker closing it shut. 'You know, somehow I knew you were going to come up to me with something today. You don't believe in the apocalypse too, do you?'

'No...okay maybe-not really but it's not about that. It's something serious that I need to tell you in the choir room. I'll make it quick I promise because I know it's almost Christmas and you and Kurt do your traditional duet.' Blaine smiles softly and walks with Sam back into the choir room where they both take a seat in the front. 'Blaine I did something unforgivable and it's just killing me inside so much, I needed to tell someone I was close with.'

'What is it, Sam? Everything's forgivable in some sort of way though. Maybe not espionage against your country or the possibility of-'

'I cheated on Kitty.' The look they exchange with each other was the first time they've ever saw each other THIS serious. Blaine finds himself at a loss of words for a second before taking a deep breath and replaying those words in his. 'What do you mean you cheated on her? What happened with you two?' Sam looks down to the floor before sighing and begins shaking his head knowing it has come out to someone.

'That date I took her on not too long ago, right? It went perfect; it was amazing. I got home after dropping her off and frickin' Quinn is at my house at midnight waiting for me the entire time basically.' Sam stands up in his own disbelief and knocks his chair over out of anger causing Blaine to turn in his chair trying to calm him down. 'Sam relax, okay? Just relax. What did you two do while she was there?' Sam has found a spot on the floor to keep him from damaging anything else to the choir room other than his name.

'Nothing we just...talked for like a few minutes and then we kissed. That's all we did was kiss once because she wanted me to prove to her that I still had feelings for her. She even had the promise ring I gave her like last year when we dated.' Blaine's eyes just shot open from that point now realizing how intense Quinn was getting with him. 'Well tell me then, do you still have feelings for Quinn Fabray?' Their eyes locked on to each other for a brief moment before Sam shook his head.

'No, none. Well I mean, I'll always care about her but everyone knows that even Kitty. She cheated on me in the first place which is why we split and now she's trying for this big comeback with me.' Blaine sat forward in the chair and sighed big trying to think of what he can say. 'Okay, okay. So Kitty doesn't know right now. Are you planning on tell her or are you going to follow the way of Noah Puckerman dealing with this? Sam already is quick on shaking his head no to that option. 'I have to tell her, Blaine. She already knows something's going on with me of how guilty I feel when I'm with her or when I kiss her. She deserves to know and I couldn't keep something like this from her ESPECIALLY after how her and Quinn acted towards each other at Sectionals.'

Blaine nods and softly chuckles at how quick he was to react to Puck's name. 'When are you seeing her again? Tonight?'

'In a few days. She's got family to visit in New York then I was planning on taking her out to this place I know when she got back. You think I should do it then?'

He thought for a moment to himself before looking back to Sam and tried to smile to cheer him up. 'There's only a handful of days left this year, you need to do it by then. It'll be a new year and new you. I can't promise it won't hurt, knowing her she won't take it too well, but sometimes you have to man up about things. And this is one of those times and I'm proud of you that you're willing to sacrifice happiness for the truth.'

'Thanks Blaine, really. I don't know where I'd be without you and your will to help people that go as low to cheating like me when I had total control. I'll let you get going now though, enjoy your Christmas with Kurt.'

'You're not low you just made a mistake, a hurtful one. But you're making up for it so everything will work itself out in the end. And thank you, now come here before I go.' They both laugh and share a best friend bro-hug before leaving the choir room for Christmas vacation.

'So your big plans for us tonight are freezing to death in the cold while ice skating? I can't...even skate.'

'Yes actually because you're going to learn how to tonight from yours truly.' The blonde couple walk hand in hand towards the Lima ice rinks where Sam thought it would be a good place to be with her rather than Santana's huge party. 'Or you know, we can go to Santana's 'Snixxmas' party as she calls it and be with a bunch of people you don't know and/or like.'

'I wouldn't dream of going to that chica's siesta even with the alcohol provided.' They reach the counter of the rink and give the lady their skate sizes and wait for her to get back. 'Besides, I knew spending time with my loser would lead to something romantic yet sub zeroed but you know, more the romantic.' The lady comes back with their skates and they head over to the bench to put them on.

Sam begins to worry to himself not knowing if this would be the last date he would ever get to take Kitty on. He wasn't sure of how to or even when he would tell her this way especially since it's Christmas where everyone is supposed to be happy, not crushed by mistakes that could be avoided or better yet crossed out. He hops over the side of the rink having finished putting his skates on first and turns to lean on them waiting for his ball of blonde wonders to come with him.

'It'll be amazing, trust me. You'll pull crazy stunts off in Cheerios and even helped win Sectionals with us by keeping your foot pace with Brittany but you're going to let a little ice to skate on stop you?' Taunting playfully almost never fails to motivate Kitty to accept and face the challenges put in front of her. She was raised in that sort of fashion and she wasn't going to let Sam get the bets of her this time. He begins to skate in doughnuts as she carefully walks towards the mini wall keeping her from him.

'I'm going to kick your ass you know.' She hops over the wall and slowly puts her skates to the ice still hanging on to the wall to keep her balance. 'What if I fall and break something, Sam? So not cool especially since our Cheerios Winter Competition is coming up. '

'Just...push off the wall and skate towards me, alright? Bend your knees a bit and you'll just glide along like the rest of us.' He holds out his hand for her to grab onto and she slowly gives herself that push from the wall. She bends her knees as was told and she slowly glides across the ice and almost falls, but Sam reaches out and grabs her hand and pulls him close to her. 'See that wasn't so bad now was it?' Sam gives her a soft yet weak kiss to her cheek with his heart still racing. They begin to skate slowly around the rink with the others with Kitty watching her knees making sure they're bent and she doesn't fall.

Midway through the second time around the rink Kitty learns swiftly and they begin to speed up against each other as if there's a race going on. Quickly dodging the others on the ice, Sam smirks in his head and skates towards the middle and pretends to lose control, purposely falling to the ice below him and faking injury. Kitty's eyes expand as she uses the wall to stop and skate towards her fallen boyfriend and stops over him. 'My gosh Sam Evans, are you okay? And I thought I was the rookie here.' She extends her arm out to him so he can pull himself up with her help but the look on his face thinks otherwise.

Sam laughs and grabs her hand not even attempting to get up. 'You still are the rookie, easiest trick in the book!' He pulls her arm down causing her to lose control on the ice and fall on top of him laughing. Sam wraps his arms around her small body as they both gaze into each other's eyes like two teenagers in love. Do it Sam, tell her right now. You know you want to and it'll make you a man again. Do it! He betrays his thoughts of guilt and instead turns them into hope while hoping it'll come out right.

'I love you, Kitty.' Those three words holding so much power and feeling finally left his mouth and into her ears developing her soft but real smile on her face. The dork finally let it out, huh? I knew it, I knew they were coming soon to tis the season. He really is the sweetest guy I have ever dated. Wait shit, say something!

Instead of embarrassing herself to choke up on the spot Kitty crashes her lips to Sam's which warms their faces and heart up it could melt the ice if it were possible. Pulling away breathless for a few seconds she musters up a smile and leans her forehead to his going about hat-to-hat with another. 'I love you too, Sam Evans.' They kiss once more before getting up to hang up their skates for the night and head back to his car.

Back at his home, Sam and Kitty begin to bake Christmas cookies with his Sam's father while his mother keep Stevie and Stacy in the living room as they watch Elf on their TV. Sam and Kitty exchange smiles back and forth to each other while Mr. Evans clears his throat to them with a smile as well but also wants them focused so they don't burn the cookies.

'So Kitty...' Sam's father begins to say as she pops a little ball of dough into her mouth before looking up to humor him. 'What do you think of everything? Good?' He looks up and around his house with a proud smile as she starts to nod and laugh trying not to acknowledge the fact that Sam patted her cheeks with flour.

'It's really amazing, Mr. Evans. I heard about your recent struggle with finding a place to live with money problems but...you've really pulled through. You have a roof over your head with a drop dead gorgeous wife. Not to mention Stevie and Stace, they're really adorable but Sam on the other hand...' She turns to him and throws flour into his face, leading him to hug her from behind. '...is just the best guy I've ever met in my life. And by the way I left your gift under the tree even though you already spoiled it anyway!' Mr. Evans chuckles to himself and pulls out the cookies from the oven to cool off before they all dig into them and starts to frost them with Christmas colored frosting and sweet sprinkles.

'Nice looking clothes like what I wore on our amazing date not too long ago and even more chapstick, yeah look who's trying to be obvious. Anyways, I have your gift as well right here.' Mr. Evans leaves the kitchen for their privacy as he takes some of the finished cookies to his family. Sam reaches over the counter with a small wrapped up box, on the tag it reads 'To Kitty, from Your Loser.' which makes her chuckle and kiss his cheek. She unwraps the box and opens it only to put on the counter in shock and looks back at Sam who's smiling like a fool.

A golden heart locket is present to both of their eyes with 'Kitty Wilde' engraved into it. She takes it out of the box to examine it more in her hand not knowing what to say; speechless as this point as she was not expecting this. 'My dad knows his ways of engraving since it's his job so I had him do this for me.' She opens the locket to find a picture of her and Sam that Marley had taken of them under Sam's asking of her. Kitty's eyes almost begin to tear but she shakes them away and looks back to Sam and pull him in for a deep, sensitive kiss.

'Merry Christmas, Kitty.' Sam pulls away to look down at her before becoming sad in his head, knowing his time is limiting until he has to tell her the truth about what happened with him and Quinn. 'Merry Christmas, Sam Evans. Loser.' She giggles before planting another kiss to his lips and has him fasten it around her neck and puts it inside her shirt after a few seconds of looking at it. 'Close to my heart, which I do have by the way.'

'Never said you didn't have one, babe.' They both sit down and begin to eat some cookies before his siblings eat them all but are interrupted by them anyway. 'Sammy! Can we go outside and make a snowman? Please?' 'Yeah Sammy, please? Mommy and Daddy are kissing each other in front of us and it's gross.' Sam and Kitty both glance at each other and let out chuckles before going with them to get their jackets and head back out into the cold.

As soon as they get out there it is lightly snowing heavy flakes making it look like a winter wonderland striking into Lima. Kitty and Stacy begin to engage in a snowball fight with Sam and Stevie making the most of newly fallen snow to best pack with. After being 'overtaken' by the girls and surrendering, Sam and Kitty help begin build their snowman in front of the Evans' household.

'Alright guys, let's hurry up because it's getting late and you two need to get in bed early tonight or Mom and dad will kill me letting you stay up late again,'

'That's right. Santa's coming in two days so that's still two days of being good if you want your presents!' Kitty adds while smiling at them both helping them build their snowman to perfection. It already passes off as best snowman on their street but could easily beat out any in Lima if looked at in the right angle. Stevie and Stacy both come back from their front yard tree with two sticks and several rocks, for the arms, buttons and face of course.

After placing the necessary arms and making the snowman's face into a huge smile, Kitty looks at it and places a finger on her chin. 'Just one thing missing.' Secretly walking behind Sam, she snatches his hat off his head and carefully places it on the snowman's head and rests her head onto his shoulder as they all smile at their work. 'There, perfect.' Sam leans his face down to peck Kitty's lips making Stacy and Stevie groan Ewww making them all laugh at one another. 'Okay Steve and Stace, time's up for tonight. Say goodnight to Kitty before you head in.'

They run up to Sam barreling hugs into him saying their goodbyes to him and then to Kitty. Stacy hugs her tightly before pulling back with a huge smile on her face. 'I really like you a lot Kitty. Quinn didn't this much fun stuff when she was here a couple of weekends ago.' Her statement before running into her home with her brother leaves the lot open for Sam to explain to her. Sam's breathing begins to get heavier as he looks over to Kitty who is not happy at all. 'So, you want to explain to me yourself or should I go ask Stacy what Quinn was doing here?' Anger flows through her veins as she stares him down while he takes a step forward.

'Kitty I was going to tell you this, I swear.'

'Stop sidetracking and start explaining, NOW.' Sam nods knowing there's no other choice then to come clean about it now. It can't be avoided and he just can't lie to her any longer. 'She was...she was here the night I came home from our date that night; I had no clue she was even in town. She was just here trying to get me to get back with her and-'

'And?' Kitty steps closer to him but Sam shakes his head to her, taking a step back farther from him. 'I kissed her.' Those three words spoken by Sam now completely shatter the three words he told her while kissing in the middle of the ice rink. 'I kissed her because she wanted one last reason to think I was completely over her with you and I am.' Kitty's heart inside her feels like it was used for baseball practice for hitting sessions. She couldn't bare to want to believe her perfect boyfriend, her loser, did this to her..with HER. She couldn't even hold his gaze anymore so she dropped it to the ground, breathing out her nose which fogged the night air in front of her.

'That's it, you know? I cheated on you and...there's no excuse for that. There's no excuse for kissing my ex girlfriend while I was with my current girlfriend. I don't deserve anything in return but all I want to say is that I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm not Prince Charming or that perfect normal guy you can call your boyfriend. I am what you call me every day even though you kid about it. I'm a loser. But I'm a loser who's hoping you can forgive me because it's hard seeing my life in the near future without you to call as my girlfriend.'

The speech of forgiveness doesn't show change in her facial expression at all. Nothing but one lone tear that streams down her cheek is what shows Sam that he really messed up. Her hands move up her neck while shaking from both the icy weather and the fact that her heart may have well just stopped as she undoes the fastening to her locket and cups it in her hands. Sam's eyes begin to fill with tears even though he knew this was going to be the outcome afterwards he just wishes he could take it all back.

Kitty slowly walks up to the snowman with her locket and lets the heart freefall while holding on to the end. 'I accept your apology and bravery for telling me face to face, Sam.' She sniffles up so her tears won't fall down while she looks at him, only to shake her head and turn back to the snowman. 'But I can't be with someone who ends up breaking my trust and heart all at once.' She places the locket around the snowman's neck and grips the locket one last time before turning in the other direction to walk home, broken to pieces.

Sam's tears flow down his face as he slowly walks over to the snowman and removes the locket from it and tightens the grip with it in his hands. He watches Kitty as she walks away from him until she turns a corner to go out of view. 'I'm going to get you back and right the wrongs I've done.' He begins to say softly to himself following the trees as if he can still see Kitty in his view. 'I'm in love with you Kitty and I promise I'm going to prove my trust to you again.' Sam walks back inside his house spirit broken only a few days before Christmas.

The day after Christmas, a small package arrives to the Evans' home for a one Sam Evans. His mother snatches it from the porch and heads upstairs to give it to him. Sam stares at where the package had come from; New Haven, Connecticut. He unwraps the package to find a small box and opens it to find a note that reads:

'Sorry if this comes to you late than expected. I want to talk to you face to face one last time and if you still hate me after, I promise to leave you alone. Merry Christmas, Sam. Love always, Quinn Fabray.

Sam reads the note over a few times before setting aside and uncovering paper to reveal what's inside the box; The promise ring he gave to Quinn.

A/N: Christmas chapter! So I have no excuse for taking exactly a month to write this. It just usually takes me a week or two to piece together what will happen and THEN I have to keep motivating and kicking myself to write it and yeah. As it came closer, I knew I wanted to make this a Christmas-feel chapter so I did. Hope you enjoy it and feel free always to leave a review and/or message me. Next chapter I have a few brief ideas about so hopefully it won't take as long to write. ALSO, if anyone wants to leave me a message on Tumblr I'll give the link on my profile just so I can answer any questions or comments a lot faster than I would to on here. Be well!
