Summary: For Blam Week Day 5: long distance (Fudged a bit because Blam were LD from ND, not each other)~ lauraperfectinsanity prompt: 46. Future fic. After season 5's events, the New Directions lose sight of each other. Years later, in NYC, talking with hers and Brittany's daughter, Santana discovers that the little girl's best friend's last name is Anderson-Evans and she thinks that's an incredible coincidence that she has the last names of two of her former friends and schoolmates. Until one day, while picking up her daughter she saw Sam or Blaine waiting outside the school for his little girl.

Standing by her car, Santana Lopez-Pierce leaned her hip against the hood and watched her daughter, Christmas (Britt named her), run around the school yard, playing some kind of chase game with one of her little friends. Some God on the school board decided children needed a 30 minute exercise time at the end of the school day, so they would be less insane upon release. It was a brilliant idea.

When the bell rang, she watched Christmas and Lily grab their packs and make their way out. As they approached, Christmas said, "Mom! I want you to meet my friend!"

"Lily Anderson-Evans. A pleasure to meet you, Ma'am," the girl said, holding out a hand politely.

Santana smiled and shook her little hand, startled for a moment by the name, but pushed the thought aside. "Nice to meet you, Lily."

The girl turned to Christmas. "I'll see you tomorrow, Chris! Gotta get to my piano lesson."

With that, the little girl trotted off, taking the hand of a pretty young woman and heading down the street.

As she chatted with her daughter, Santana forgot all about Lily's last name. After all, it had to be a coincidence.

Or so she thought.

Three weeks later, she was again waiting to pick up Christmas when she heard a familiar voice. "Santana?"

Turning, she found herself looking at someone she hadn't seen in years. Tall, blond and still strikingly handsome, Sam Evans was smiling at her, walking over.

"Sam!" she said, accepting a hug from him. "What are you doing here?"

He and Blaine had left New York after the final implosion Klaine, as Blaine said he needed some space. Well, space from everyone but Sam and the two of them had fallen off the grid.

Not that Santana kept in touch with many of her high school friends, aside from Britt, Kurt, Rachel, Artie and Mercedes.

"My daughter goes to school here," he told her and she let her eyes tick down to his left hand.

Yup. There was a wedding ring.

"Your daughter wouldn't happen to be Lily, would she?" She asked and, noting his surprise, she pointed to the playground. "Christmas is me and Britt's girl."

That made Sam smile and chuckle. "Oh, Lily has been chattering non-stop about her!"

Santana nodded. "So...gotta say, I'm both shocked and not shocked. You and Blaine?"

Sam's smile grew. "Yeah," he said, head tipping slightly to the side. "It's funny how things work out, right?"

"Funny," she agreed. "So, when did you guys get back to the city?"

"A month ago," Sam said easily. "Blaine got an offer to write a score for a new musical here and I do most of my work from home, so...here we are."

"You should come for dinner sometime," she said, pulling out her phone to exchange info with Sam. "We can catch up and the girls will have fun."

Nodding, Sam agreed and, as they finished exchanging numbers, Lily and Christmas trotted over. Sam swept his giggling daughter up into his arms and Santana took Christmas's hand as they parted ways.

"Was that one of Lily's daddies?" Christmas asked brightly and Santana nodded.

"Yes, sweetheart...and her daddies are old friends of your mommies! They're all going to come over for dinner soon."

"Yay!"
