Chapter 26

"Pick them up, Santana." Santana roll her eyes at Rachel's demanding voice.

"No." And then Santana sits down on their shared bed. "They're not hurting anyone."

Since Rachel has moved into the apartment, they only ever get into arguments about one thing…Santana leaving her clothes thrown across the bedroom floor. Even when they weren't living together they would argue about Santana's habit of taking off her clothes and leaving them in the floor until she feels like picking them up.

Since Rachel, Quinn, Tina, Mike, and Mack have all graduated, Quinn has been at work a lot more. After graduating, Quinn got a full time job at a magazine company as an assistant photographer. And when the blonde isn't at work, she's at Mack's, so Quinn is not home that often. Rachel got a job at the local middle school as the music and history teacher. Mike is working at a local dance studio and Tina is taking more school until she figures out what she wants to do with her life. Mack hasn't put her degree in physical therapy to use yet. She's still working at the movie theater for right now as a manager. And Santana is in school this summer to make up for the quarter of school she missed out on when her mom was sick. Her graduation ceremony won't be until the end of the year.

"Well…they're hurting me. Just get them up." Rachel frowns. Santana can tell that she's really irritating Rachel but she refuses to lose this argument. They've been living together for three months now. It's almost July and Santana has been doing nothing but whatever Rachel says since the girl moved in.

But not today.

"You are so childish." Rachel kick's Santana's gym shorts when Santana ignores her and leaves their bedroom.

"Stop following me." Santana sighs sitting at the kitchen table with her laptop.

"I don't see why you can't just pick up your clothes."

"Because it's our bedroom, Rachel. No one is going to know that my work out clothes from this morning is on the floor. No one cares," Santana pauses to smirk at Rachel. "No one but you. Get over it."

"Fine." Rachel says in that tone of voice that lets her knows that this argument just went up a step. Rachel's super pissed.

Santana watches as Rachel walks out of the kitchen without another look in her direction.

Three hours later Santana finds herself in Puck's and Sandy's apartment watching as Rachel rocks London asleep. Sandy and Puck are out on a date and have left Santana and Rachel in charge of watching the beautiful little baby.

Santana and Rachel haven't really spoken since they argument earlier.

"You're good with her." Rachel looks up from the now sleeping baby. "I think out of all aunts, you're her favorite. "

"Well she's my favorite little person." Rachel smiles down at London.

"And you're my favorite little person."

Rachel rolls her eyes. "I hope you don't think that being cheesy is going to make me stop being mad at you."

"Hey," Santana shrugs. "One can only hope."

Santana watches from the couch as Rachel rocks the baby for couple of more minutes before getting up to go put her in her crib. Rachel comes back a few minutes later with a baby monitor in hand and a frown on her face.

"Come here," Santana pats her lap. "Let me kiss those juicy lips." Rachel rolls her eyes but walks over to Santana anyway. "I'm a jerk, baby. Forgive me." Santana mumbles against Rachel's lips.

"Always." Rachel allows Santana to kiss her. "But I'm still mad."

Santana laughs and pecks Rachel's lips a few more times.

"That shirt is ugly." Tina informs Rachel when Santana and Rachel walk into Puck's and Sandy's apartment.

"That was rude." Rachel frowns, walking over and taking London out of Quinn's arms. "Come here beautiful."

"And that shirt is offensive."

"What? Why?"

"Because it's hurting my eyes." Rachel rolls her eyes and sits down on the couch next to Mack.

Santana giggles at her friends bickering and kiss London on the cheek before greeting everyone else in the room. Everyone is over Puck's and Sandy's for their usual dinner. But this one is a little more special because usually on this day they would all have classes the following week. But now they are college graduates who only have jobs and hobby's to look forward to. There are no more classes to attend and papers to write.

Santana is knocked out of her thought by Puck and Mike walking into the apartment with two cases of beer. "Let's get this party started!"

Santana grins.

It's going to be one long but fun night.
