A/N: Apologies for the late update, but have been sick with bronchitis and haven't really felt like typing when all I am doing is coughing and have horrible pains in my chest from doing so.
Thanks again for the reviews and faves/follows on this (and also to the people who faved/followed the other Glee based stories I have on here - I will try and have some updates for them soon)
So this chapter is relatively short compared to others, but there wasn't much happening in it - but it sees a birthday, and it's also leading up to the big storyline that has been planned since the start, that will be happening in the next chapter.
As for a reviewer asking if Quinn will be in the story - well yes she will be, and maybe just maybe she already has been in a subtle non Quinn looking way and it hasn't been picked up on by anyone!
Anyway, nothing much else to say except enjoy and you know what to do from here!
Love KJ xoxo.
Chapter 19 -
Saturday mid morning, Mikki was sitting in the living area of her's and Rachel's apartment, waiting on her friend so that they along with Blaine and Sam could head over to Santana and Dani's apartment for Jayden's first birthday.
Mikki was currently going through the memory on her camera deleting photos that she no longer wanted or that she had put on to the computer hard drive.
Rachel came out of her bedroom, dressed in a long dress and cardigan and heels.
"You're wearing jeans?" asked Rachel, when she saw what her roommate and best friend was dressed in.
Mikki looked up at her. "Yeah, I am".
"Hmm, it's probably a more sensible option then a dress, considering it is a kid's birthday" said Rachel.
"I don't think Jay is going to be at all fussed at what you're wearing, he's going to be too interested in new toys and most likely cake" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"Yeah, still just going to go and put some jeans on" said Rachel, heading back into her bedroom.
"Okay" replied Mikki, as she turned her camera off and put it in to its bag and stood up.
"Just going to head across the hall to make sure the guys are ready to go, meet me in the hall" said Mikki as she grabbed her handbag, the bag with her camera in and also the present that she had gotten for Jayden.
"Yeah will do" replied Rachel, from her room.
Mikki went over to the apartment door and opened it and crossed over the hallway to the guy's apartment and knocked on the door.
Sam came and opened the door of the apartment.
"Hey you guys ready?" asked Mikki.
"Yeah, you heading over now?" asked Sam.
"Sure am" replied Mikki.
"Okay yeah cool" replied Sam as Blaine came over to the door also with a bag containing a present.
"Do you think this will be okay for Jayden?" asked Blaine, as he took a stuffed toy version of R2D2 out of the bag.
Mikki laughed.
"And I got him a Captain America stuffed thing" said Sam.
"I'm sure he will like them" said Mikki, laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Blaine.
"It's just so typical of you guys to buy things like that, that's all" replied Mikki.
"Well this was really the only thing we saw when went to Fao Schwarz, that we thought was cool and all that" said Sam.
"Let me guess you spent more time jumping on the piano there, then actually looking at stuff" said Mikki.
"Of course. I would so love to have a piano like that in a house someday" said Blaine, with a nod.
"That would be pretty awesome" said Sam, with a nod.
"Yeah, so what you get Jayden then?" asked Blaine, indicating to the bag that Mikki had with her.
"It's this interactive dog thing that sings and will learn Jayden's name" said Mikki.
"Huh?" asked Blaine.
"You will see it when we get there, I've wrapped it so, yeah" replied Mikki.
"Okay ready now" said Rachel as she came out of the apartment, closing up the door and walking over to the others.
"Let's go then" said Sam, and the four of them headed off to Santana and Dani's apartment for Jayden's first birthday.

Mikki, Rachel, Blaine and Sam got around to Dani and Santana's apartment a short time later and went up to the floor where their apartment was located.
Blaine knocked on the door and the door was quickly opened by Dani.
"Hey you guys, come on in" she said, when she saw them.
"So where is the cute little birthday boy?" asked Rachel as they entered the apartment.
"Already being spoilt" replied Dani with a laugh as she closed the door behind them and they walked into the living area of the apartment.
"Good, you're here I can have better photos now" said Santana when she saw Mikki.
Mikki looked at her and laughed. "Lovely to see you too Santana" she replied, as Santana sat her small camera down.
"Well, you know all that stuff better. All I do is point and shoot" said Santana.
"Hey, it's better then what I do, I just use my phone" replied Blaine, as they all took a seat.
Jayden who had taken notice of there being more adults in the apartment, went over to Sam and grabbed at the bag that he had.
"Hey, hey Jay no" said Puck, looking at his son.
Sam laughed. "Nah it's fine, here buddy. Happy birthday" said Sam getting the Captain America toy out of the bag and handing it to him.
Mikki got the camera that she had and put the external flash on it and started taking pictures, as Jayden went over to Blaine and tried to see what was in the bag that he had.
"This kid sure knows how to get what he wants" said Blaine, with a laugh.
"Well he's a Puckerman that's for sure" said Puck with a laugh.
"Yes, should have seen Puck as a kid. Always into everything" said Mikki, with a laugh, as she took photos.
"Yeah, Jay will be charming the women in no time that's for sure" said Rachel with a smile.
"Just like Puck did you, huh Rachey" said Brittany with a laugh.
Rachel looked at her and laughed. "Yeah" she replied.
"So is it just us that's going to be here?" asked Sam.
Santana looked at him and nodded. "Yeah, not into all the hype of inviting kids from daycare and all that, and spending heaps of money on a party that only adults remember. Rather it be just be people who care about Jayden and not trying to impress everyone".
"Smart idea. Those parties make me sick" said Mikki as she continued to take photos of Jayden playing with the toys that he had gotten from Blaine and Sam.
"I'm going to go and grab some food from the kitchen" said Dani, quickly standing and pecking Santana on the cheek.
"Okay babe, yell if you need help" said Santana.
Dani walked into the kitchen area of the apartment and Rachel tapped Jayden on the shoulder.
"Do you want another present Jayden?" asked Rachel, as he nodded as she lifted him up and on to the sofa next to her.
"Okay" said Rachel, as she helped him unwrap the present she had gotten him, that being a Leap Frog Reader so books could be read out to him.
"Wow Rachel, thank you" said Santana as she also saw the present.
Rachel looked at her and nodded. "I asked Noah if he had one already and he said no, so I hope you don't mind that I bought one for him" replied Rachel, as Dani came back into the living area with some little sandwiches.
"No, Dani and I were looking at getting him one. Now I guess we only need to buy him the books for it. Thank you" said Santana.
"Oh wow" said Dani, as she put the sandwiches down on the table.
"Yeah, got to say I love your girlfriend right about now Puckerman" said Santana with a laugh.
Puck looked at her and laughed. "Well just keep those thoughts to yourself, because my girl is definitely straight".
Santana smiled and shook her head.
"Right and from his fave aunty, this" said Mikki, getting the wrapped present that she had for Jayden and handing it up to Rachel, so she could help him take off the paper and Mikki was able to still take photos.
"Da" said Jayden, when he saw that the present from Mikki was a toy dog.
"Yeah it's a dog" said Rachel.
"Okay scary how well you know my kid Mikki" said Santana.
"Not really no, he is always pointing to the dogs when he's out with Puck and I saw this and it will learn his name and that, so I thought it was pretty cool" said Mikki.
Puck grabbed his son who was now looking at Rachel, who was attempting to get the dog removed from it's box.
"You're a pretty lucky little guy, huh. All these new toys" said Puck, as he sat his son on his lap.
Jayden looked at his father and hugged him and then leant over to Rachel, trying to grab at the toy.
"Hang on Jay, just got to make sure it's all safe" said Rachel as she got all the ties out of that was keeping it attached to the box and then pulling the safety from the bottom so that the toy would work.
She pressed it's paw and it started to sing the alphabet. Jayden looked at the toy and clapped.
"Okay I think he really likes that" said Dani.
"I think so" replied Puck, with a laugh and the adults continued on to celebrate Jayden's first birthday.

A little while later after they had all finished eating, Santana was in the kitchen putting some things away and Puck walked in a with pile of dirty plates.
"So I got to say Santana you look really happy" said Puck as he went over to the bench and put down what he had.
"Yeah I am actually" she replied.
Puck nodded. "I guess now that you finally get to be yourself and all that, there's no need for the snarkiness and all that".
"Nope. And sure my Abuela isn't agreeing with what she calls my lifestyle. But my parents are happy, that I am finally actually really happy. Because honestly I think hiding who I really was all this time, wasn't doing anyone any good" replied Santana.
"Well still, being with me wasn't all bad now was it?" asked Puck.
"No not entirely, after all we did a get pretty awesome son out of it" said Santana.
Puck nodded. "Yeah and I still can't believe that he is one already. It's like where has the time gone".
"I know what you mean, soon he'll be in school and dating and then in college" said Santana with a laugh.
"Well that's a bit away really" replied Puck with a laugh.
"Still he's growing up too fast" said Santana.
"Do you think you and Dani will ever have another, maybe adopt or something like that?" asked Puck.
"Umm actually about me and Dani, there is something I should probably tell you" said Santana.
Puck looked at her. "You're not separating are you?" he asked.
"No, no. Nothing like that. We are still very much in love with one another" replied Santana.
"Okay then" replied Puck.
"Dani asked me to marry her and I said yes" said Santana.
Puck looked at his ex wife in amazement. "Wow" he replied.
"Yeah, and we were going to say something soon, but with today being Jayden's birthday and all that, we just wanted the day to be about him and not us" said Santana.
"Tani, that's great news though. You should want to share it with everyone" said Puck, giving her a hug.
Santana laughed. "Yeah maybe later".
"So I guess more kids is definitely in mind" said Puck.
"We have discussed the possibility and Dani has said that she would like to go through the whole pregnancy thing and have a biological child" said Santana.
Puck nodded. "Well my sperm is off limits" he replied with a laugh.
Santana laughed also. "Yeah I don't think we'd be wanting your sperm anyways" she replied.
"Hey and just what is wrong with it" said Puck.
"Nothing, just I don't want my woman impregnated with your stuff" said Santana.
"Yeah fair enough" replied Puck.
"Besides you and Rachel, are probably going to be having kids somewhere in the future. So you need to be saving it all for her" said Santana with a laugh.
Puck looked at her.
"Don't tell me you haven't thought about it, because I know you Noah Puckerman, and know you have" replied Santana.
"Yeah, it would be awesome to have a kid with Rachel" he replied.
Santana nodded. "You guys have been almost together a year now, right?" she asked.
"In about five weeks, yeah it will be a year" said Puck.
"Maybe you can ask her" said Santana, with a smile and walked back into the living area.
Puck looked at her and followed her back in.
"What?" he asked as they went into the living area where all the others were still, and saw that Rachel was on her cell phone and laughing at something the person on the other end had said.
"Yeah, sure I'll see you tomorrow" she said.
The person on the other end said something and Rachel laughed again.
"Yeah bye, Will" she replied and ended the phone call.
"What did he want this time?" asked Puck, as he sat down on the sofa next to Rachel.
"He was just seeing if I wanted to maybe go and have dinner tonight, since we both have this weekend off" replied Rachel.
Puck looked at her. "He was asking you out?".
"No, no. He was just wondering if I wanted to go out for dinner" said Rachel.
"Yeah, that's asking you out Rachel" said Brittany, as the others nodded.
"He said Noah was okay to come along as well" said Rachel.
"Oh well yeah, that totally makes it okay" said Puck.
"You might have to tell him to back off a little Rach" said Mikki.
"Will is totally harmless, he's just a friend" replied Rachel.
"Well I will be telling the guy next time I see him, to keep his eyes off my woman" said Puck.
"You know what you have to do there then" said Santana, with a sly smile.
Puck looked at his ex wife. "Say Santana, wasn't there something you and Dani wanted to share?".
Santana glared at him.
"Babe, does he know?" asked Dani.
Santana looked at her and nodded.
"Yeah, I told him" she replied.
"Told him what?" asked Brittany.
"Since you're all going to be wondering what now and I'm pretty sure Puckerman will tell Rachel anyway later and then you will all find out. Dani asked me to marry her and I said yes" said Santana.
"That's awesome news" said Blaine.
"Thank you" replied Santana looking at him with a smile.
"Yeah really, congratulations you two" said Mikki.
"So when are you thinking?" asked Rachel.
"Not sure yet, I mean it's only all new and all that. But soon" said Dani, who looked at Santana and nodded.
"Well I think this is definitely cause for more celebration, and not just because this handsome man is one today" said Puck, picking up Jayden from where he was near Brittany and more interested in playing with the box that the toy Rachel had got for him had been in.
"Sure is. To Dani and Santana" said Brittany, picking up her glass of drink.
The other five did the same and then continued on with celebrating not only Jayden's first birthday but also the engagement of Santana and Dani.
End Note:
So Santana and Dani are getting married, and Santana definitely dropped the hint that Puck should propose to Rachel.
Is that the big thing next chapter?! Guess you have to wait a little bit to see! :) But the majority of that chapter is already written, so it shouldn't be too long until I post it!
And on a quick note ComicCon was awesome! Probably where I got this nasty cold, since I was outside both days in cold and wet, ushering people through the doors and that! Didn't get to meet as many as people as I wanted (saw VM panel and also Jennifer Morrison from OUAT) but it was still an awesome weekend!
And I had to break it to Sami also that Glee season 6, is only going to be 13 eps long. To say she was less then impressed, would be an understatement. Here's hoping for the sake of my crazed Furby that Darren sings enough songs, because I am totally sick of her obsession with Teenage Dream, Not Alone and Sami - and having them on constant repeat, and who getting annoyed and screaming at me when I turn them off! (Including making train noises, which she possibly seems to think will make me put on AVPM soundtrack for her!)
Until next chapter. Stay happy guys,
Love KJ (and Sami!) xoxoxo
