She never sung me a Lullaby

A/N: I have had many story Ideas floating around in my head, and this one comes from when elphieistheshiz asked for any story ideas and I gave this one, but she said she could not write it at the time since it was very involved and give it the time it needed. So elphieistheshiz asked her readers if any one wanted to do it to contact me so someone did but not so they could write it but if I could write it, so after some arm twisting ImaDayDREAMER08 got me to sit down and write this story.

Our story starts after season 3 episode 8 "Hold On to Sixteen" everything up until then will be what we have seen on glee after that is when the world we know as glee comes from my mind. So Shelby does adopt Beth and the whole Puck/Shelby affair did happen *Yuck*.Rachel is still suspended and her Daddies think this is the perfect time to spend some time with their little Diva before she leaves them for New York and fame.(and for my story Finn and Rachel broke up because Finn was mad that Rachel almost got Kurt in trouble, even though Kurt forgave her)**I don't like Finchel (sorry Finchel shippers). Finn is a bad boyfriend I mean they have him asking her to marry him when he knows she wants to go to New York**.

Not Betaed all mistakes spelling or punctuation are mine and my word program. the only thing I own are the original characters because if I owned glee I would get FanFiction authors to write for the show cause frankly some of their story ideas are better then what we have been seeing lately.

This story is dedicated to elphieistheshiz and mainly ImaDayDREAMER08. So on with the story and I hope you like it...

Prologue

Rachel sat back in the seat watching as the fields and occasional farm house pass by, her daddy Leroy was driving. A small smile formed on her lips as she thought of the not so funny but endearing quip he always said when it was his turn to drive and Rachel was in the back seat " Get used to it my Little Star cause when your famous you'll have to get used to staring at the back of someone's head as they drive you from one award show to another."

Her gaze turned to the right of the vehicle where her dad Hiram sat asleep in the passenger seat, with his head bent forward.

She felt bad she and her Dad had their own sleep neck pillow, but she left her's in the hotel and the neck aches she got when she fell asleep without it while traveling always made her car sick.

Being the wonderful Dad that Hiram Berry was his heart hurt more than his neck when his Little Diva was hurting, so he gave her his after all nothing was more important than the well being of his baby girl.

Her eyes remained on her Dad as she thought back on all that had happened this year.

First Shelby came back but she didn't seek out Rachel, NO she had to talk to Puck and Quinn about precious, beautiful little Beth.

The child that Shelby wanted after deciding that she wasn't good enough to be her daughter.

Then the whole presidential debacle with Kurt.

And finally Finn breaking up with her over the incident with Kurt.

As she thought of these things she came to the conclusions that.

1. Kurt forgave her after she told Figgins the truth, and there would be no mark on his record. But he was sad because he realized that he didn't get the votes that he wanted and that popularity ruled the lives of anyone under 18.

2. Finn just sucked (can you tell how much I hate Finn).

Come on now she did what she did to help Kurt, and Kurt forgave her how come he couldn't.

Just more proof in her mind how Finn would never be the leading man she needed him to be.

She knew when it came to having her name up on Broadway she had to put her all into it and she was going to need to have all the support from her friends and family to make her dreams come true.

If he couldn't back her now what would it be like when she had to do everything in her power to beat out the other females.

Broadway was a harsh world and the kid gloves had to come off if she wanted to survive it and get her Tony before age 25.

Finn just sucked..

3. Shelby..uummm what could she say about Shelby that she hasn't said already.

Her Daddies always said if you don't have something nice to say don't anything at all.

But it kept playing in her mind how Shelby came back, not to see her but Puck and Quinn then to think that Rachel would accept her scraps like some abandoned puppy, by throwing a song idea at her. Sure it was a good idea.

Rachel smirked at the chuckle inside her mind when she thought about how she went to Shelby to ask for a letter of reference for her application.

After all not many could say they had a letter from a 4 time show choir competition winning coach, and she knew that Shelby would write one out of guilt.

But then to find out that Shelby slept with Puck. eww that was just icky on so many levels.

She wondered what Shelby would think if she found that she slept with her daughter's first boyfriend.

Probably wouldn't bother her since Puck had given her the perfect daughter. True the bio mom was Quinn but Beth was half Pucks.

Oh well Shelby was gone again without a word like last time, and out of sight out of mind was for the best. In Rachel's opinion.

As her eyes focused again she realized that after all she went through this year that the two most important people in her life the ones who seen all the good and not so good that she was were right in front of her and loved her not matter what and would never leave her.

She looked in the rearview mirror at her daddy and saw that love and blew him a kiss.

Which he pretended to catch and put in his pocket. Slowly she closed her eyes.

Leroy Berry was driving along enjoying the quiet; his husband was sleeping with his head bent forward.

He thought of all the fun he was going to have massaging Hiram's neck and back which often led to other things. Oh boy when they stopped at their next destination Rachel was getting her own room, he would ask the front desk to make sure that there was a room separating them. After all his little star did not need to hear what was going to go on tonight.

He then looked at the back seat, as he watched his Little Star and the road *after all he had to make sure the 2 people that held his heart were safe* he saw so many emotions pass in her face and eyes. He wondered what had her so deep in thought.

He watched until after some time her face became content and she focused. She looked at her dad smile and looked at him with so much love in her eyes and blew him a kiss.

He did what he always did, grabbed the air for her kiss and put it in his pocket. He watched her close her eyes and fall into a slumber.

As he drove some more he thought of the trip they had planned of course Rachel wanted to go to New York but since their family decided things by vote she was out voted 2 to 1 for a family trip to Virginia.

So now they were on day 2 of this road trip and after a night in West Virginia they were making good time and in another day would be on the coast.

They decided to not travel the interstate Highway they wanted to see what the older highways had to offer.

As Leroy drove along seeing the mile sign for their next stop where they would spend the night before hitting the road again. he calculated that he had another hour of driving.

It happened so fast the vehicle passing them tire blew out and the driver lost control slamming sideways into the Berries car causing it to be pushed into the ditch. As the tires of the Berries car hit the ditch and the car started its first flip Leroy only had time to look at his husband then at his Little Star before his world ceased.

Enjoy the day.
