They spend Christmas in New York, just the two of them. His mom is a little putout that they aren't coming home for the holidays, but she seems to understand. She worried for weeks after she found out about Rachel's accident, and she tells them to be careful.

They exchange the big presents on Christmas (a new karaoke machine and a diamond pendant for her and a new flatscreen for him), and eight smaller gifts on the days of Hanukkah. She bakes him chocolate chip banana bread and homemade cinnamon rolls, gets him a songbook of classic 80's hits for his classroom, a new watch, a Jets jersey, the latest Paul Rudd movie, and two things for the baby: A onesie that says "My Daddy's the Best" and a picture of their latest sonogram in a frame that says "Our Baby."

"For your desk, at the station ," she adds in explanation. He kisses her because he figures that can express his feelings more than words.

He gets her a few books and a Barbra StreisandGreatest Hits CD, a t-shirt that says "I Have the Golden Ticket" with an arrow pointing at her stomach, and a baby book.

She gasps when she opens it, running her fingers over the scrapbook-like pages. "You did all this?" she whispers, flipping through the pictures of them and reading what he wrote beneath them.

"Well, Kurt helped," he admits, "and it's not done yet, because, you know, obviously the baby's not here yet, but I figured we could do the rest together."

She beams at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly.

"I love it," she whispers. "It's perfect, Finn, thank you."

Yeah, it's pretty much the best Christmas/Hanukkah ever.

Sorry for the short chapter again the next I'll try to make longer
