(Santana's POV)
"Miss Lopez, your order is just being finalised in the packing area. Would you care to wait in the champagne bar and we'll notify you when your order is ready?" The sales assistant of Harrods notifies me. "Of course, thank you Jon Pierre." I smile fondly at my usual sales assistant that I run into with most visits here. "Miss Lopez? You're on a names basis here?...Fancy" Arizona says, displaying her impressiveness at her surroundings today. "Yeah, well blame Grace for that one. She is always putting in orders here!" I say playfully rolling my eyes. I walk the girls on down to the champagne bar where three chilled glasses of pink bubbly are waiting for us. "Cheers ladies." I lift up my champagne flute as we toast. 
"Your life here just seems worlds apart from what it was in Miami" Callie says, inspecting the grand building around her. "It is and it's so much better" I smile. "Anyway, how's things at the hospital?" I say changing the subject. "They're getting better, we have finally managed to reboot the intern programme, we got Meredith back in as chief and as you know, where Meredith goes...many follow!" Callie says with excitement in her face. "Meredith Grey huh? Bold choice on my fathers part" I say sucking the air through my teeth. "Is somebody jealous that they aren't the top dog anymore?" Callie asks with an amused smirk on her face. "No...not at all, it's just...she's flaky" I say, instantly dismissing the accusations. "Meredith Grey is not flaky" Arizona laughs, coming to her defence. "Sure she is, one minute she wanted to be in Seattle, then she was going to Boston, then she wasn't, then she was going to Minnesota to cure Parkinson's, then she wanted to be back in Seattle...screams flaky to me" I toss back.
"Why are we even talking about this? It's Christmas, we are in London and you do not work at the hospital anymore!" Callie says trying to bring an end to the inevitable debate that was about to occur. "Miss Lopez, your order is ready." Jon Pierre comes up from behind notifying us. "Right this way" he stands to the side allowing me to take the lead. 'left or right Jon Pierre?" I ask. "Right Miss Lopez" he gives me cheeky grin and wink as I take the right turn that leads us down to the basement of Harrods. "Santana..." Arizona calls out, a little sceptical as to where I am taking them. "Jesus fucking christ.." Callie whispers, halting her and Arizona in their steps. "Welcome to Christmas in London ladies.." I say turning around as they take in the sight behind me.
"Santana...what is this?" both of my friends mouths have seemingly hit the floor. "This...this is Snixxmas; London Edition!" I say rather proudly. There are a group of around 20 men all loading up the small delivery truck with everything Grace and I have ordered, from more Christmas tree's that have been decorated by Christian Dior, to Regency Regalia Christmas Crackers that are filled with Swarovski crystal, to Salzburg Creation wreaths, Vanderohe Curio tree decorations and to round it off a small collection of MacKenzie Childs Christmas Magic Resting Reindeers and other bits here and there. "I dread to think how much this all cost" Arizona says, looking a little pale. "Enough" I say. "But you can't put a price on seeing the joy on your kids faces right?" I say excitedly. "Miss Lopez, could you sign here please?" Jon Pierre brings over his iPad as I have to write out a couple of signatures to cover, delivery, insurance and all the other boring stuff. 
"Would you like to view it Miss Lopez?" Jon Pierre gives me a smirk. "No thank you, I trust you guys have nailed the assignment. I shall see it when it's put up and displayed in all it's glory." I say. Callie and Arizona exchange looks wondering what the fuck I am on about. "Who's hungry?" I say clapping my hands together, excited by the prospect of lunch.

"My god...this is amazing" Callie says with a mouthful of sushi. I bought the girls to Grace and I's favourite Japanese place in London called Zuma. "Babe, we need to move to London, just for this food!" Callie says with her mouthful as she helps herself to another serving. "Easy tiger" Arizona says patting her wife on the back. "So how are things with you and Grace anyway? New city, new life, new adventure and all that?" Arizona asks as she pours us some more saki. "Do you know what? It's actually been amazing, it's like I have known her a lifetime." I say. "Well she was basically a child when you first hired her" Arizona teases me. "Shut up" I chide. "Yes there is a bit of an age difference I get that, but it's good...we're good." I say. "You're totally in love" Callie says, finishing the last of her plate. "Well yeah I do love her." I say obviously. "Yeah, but you reaaaaally love her! I can tell by the goofy grin you've had your face every time Arizona or I have mentioned her name today."
