A/N-So I thought I should do a prequel of one-shots pertaining to my story Never Say Never. I just figured that it would help explain things on how everyone got to where they are. It won't just be focused on Rachel and Quinn-although most of it will-I will however include the other Glee mates as well. Hope this is okay with everyone.
Chapter One: Your In
Quinn was sitting in her hospital bed looking at the wall. Glee had lost Regional's and that made Quinn kind of sad. Glee gave her something that nothing ever did, not even being on the Cheerios did, Glee gave her friends.
Today not only did she lose Regional's, but she also gave up her baby. It was the plan all along, but she couldn't help, but feel sad about it. Beth was the name that Puck suggested and despite being hesitant on it Quinn agreed. It was better than Drizzle. Who had adopted Beth was a surprise in itself. Shelby Corcoran, Rachel's biological mother. It was a surprise to her, but for some reason Quinn knew it was the right thing to do. She didn't want to hurt the diva, but Beth needed a good home. And Shelby's was the right one.
The Glee members have gone and left Quinn a little while earlier. Everyone was sad that Glee was coming to an end, but there was nothing anybody could do about it.
Quinn was just about to close her eyes when there was a knock on her door. A hesitant Rachel stepped through the doorway and Rachel gave Quinn a small smile.
"Hi Quinn."
Surprising herself, Quinn gave Rachel a pleasant smile, a smile that wasn't filled with malice. Rachel walked further into the room and took a seat on the chair next to Quinn's bed.
"I saw Beth, she's really beautiful."
Quinn smiles and nods her head. "Yeah, she kind of looks like me."
Rachel nods her head. The room was silent again until Quinn spoke up.
"Rachel, what are you doing here?"
It didn't go unnoticed by Rachel that Quinn didn't use one of her nicknames for her.
"I know last time when I offered friendship to you that you declined, but I just wanted to say that that offer still does stand Quinn. I would really like to be your friend."
"Why?"
Rachel shrugs her shoulders. "Everyone can use a friend."
The room was silent again. It stayed silent until visiting hours were over, but Rachel never moved and neither did her hand as it appeared to be holding Quinn's.

Since giving up Beth, Quinn has spent more and more time with Rachel. It was surprising for everyone when they walked into the music room. Everyone was just staring at them, but Rachel and Quinn didn't take notice to it. Both she and Rachel sat down in the open chairs and waited for Mr. Schuester to talk. It was the last day of school and everyone was anxious to hear his final words.
"I'm glad you all showed up."
"Of course Mr. Schuester it is our last meeting anyway," Finn says in sadness.
Mr. Schuester smiled at the group.
"Maybe not anymore Finn, Figgin's gave us another year."
Everyone in the class room cheered. Rachel hugged Quinn and in the back of the room Santana's eyebrow raised up. Finn was wearing a frown. Rachel and Quinn pulled away blushing.

Afterschool Finn pulled Rachel into an empty classroom and stared intently at her. Rachel looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"What?"
"I told you I love you Rachel, right before Regional's and you didn't say anything."
"I don't see what the big deal is. I'm not ready to say anything like that yet."
"What's going on between you and Quinn?"
"Quinn is my friend Finn."
"And I'm your boyfriend Rachel. You haven't spent any time with me since after Regional's."
A voice from the doorway caused Finn to stop what he was doing.
"You're sounding like a girl Finnocence. Now leave me alone so I can talk to Berry."
Finn turns to Rachel and sighs.
"I'll call you later Rachel."
Finn leans down to kiss Rachel on her lips, but Rachel moves her head and Finn's lips connect with Rachel's cheek. Finn sighs again and leaves the room. Once Finn is gone Santana enters the room and stands Rachel down.
"What are you doing to Q?"
Rachel's eyebrows rise in surprise.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
Santana puts her hands on her hips.
"You know exactly what I am talking about. It has something to do with the fact that you have spent all your free time at Q's side and no time at Finn's."
Rachel lets out a puff of air.
"Quinn needs a friend."
"I agree," Santana sighs and continues. "Quinn just gave up her baby. Puck doesn't want her and Finn is in love with you. Her mom is doing god knows what. All she has is you. Whatever you are doing Berry, just don't break her heart. When Quinn falls she falls fast."
Santana turns around and starts to leave the room when Rachel's voice stops her.
"What does that mean?"
Santana turns around with a smirk.
"You're smart Berry, figure it out."
Santana leaves the room with a smirk and Rachel Berry frowning.

"You like Rachel," Brittany states as she sits down next to Quinn.
Quinn's eyes go wide.
"What are you talking about?"
"You like Rachel. You watch her like I watch Santana."
"What do you mean?"
Brittany looks confused, but then smiles.
"With your eyes."
Quinn rolls her eyes and frowns.
"I don't like Man-hands."
"Yes, you do," Santana states as she takes a seat next to Brittany. "But I think Rachel likes you too."
Quinn looks up surprised. "Really?"
"I knew it," Brittany says with a smile.
"Look, Q, all I'm saying is that Rachel has spent more time with you than with Finn."
Quinn smiles slightly leaving Santana confused.
"What are you smiling about?"
"You called her Rachel."
Santana frowns. "Whatever it was a slip up. Anyways, Finn told Rachel that he loves her," Santana watches as Quinn frowns and bits the bottom of her lip. "But Rachel never said it back," Quinn looks back up with a small smile. "And she won't kiss Finn."
"What does that mean?"
Santana stands up and grabs Brittany's hand.
"It means you have an in, now use it and get your girl."
