Brief- Rachel's dads decide to adopt a brother for Rachel after finding her original song only child. Set in season two at the beginning though, (she wrote it in the summer and she had the plan to sing it for the club the entire year).
Disclaimer- Don't own the characters or the show. If I did Klaine would be in it so much more and Sam would be gay and go out with Blaine briefly before him and Kurt get back together. (J saying)

Chapter 1
Rachel was in her room getting ready for her first solo in glee in two weeks or so. She was so excited to go back to school, she'd been waiting to rub her relationship with Finn in everyone who's put her down's face. They had been spending so much time together she just wanted to take the next step. (In her mind was saying I love you, but in Finn's it was something different altogether) She was just about to start vocal warm ups when she heard LeRoy calling her. "Rachel, sweetie. Can we talk to you?" He called. She smiled in her mirror and went down stairs gracefully and swiftly.
"Yes dads?" She beamed at the two men who meant so much to her. They smiled at her optimism (Even if it was over nothing).
"Um, can you sit down on the couch, this is very important to me and your farther." Hiram said calmly. She stared for a second and then obeyed her fathers' wishes.
"So we've been talking for a while…" LeRoy started.
"And we've looked into it…" Hiram continued.
"Without telling you…" LeRoy muttered.
"And we decided we wanted to adopt another Berry into the family." Hiram finished. The girl stared confused for a moment and the look of joy came across her face.
"Wait, so I'm getting a little sister or brother? That's amazing! I've always wanted someone other than Leon to look up to me." She said joyfully. The two men smiled.
"But there's a catch." Hiram started. Her face dropped into a slightly smaller smile.
"We know your cousin is quite young, but your new brother is gonna be only a few years younger. We didn't want to get another baby, because we'd be too old to spend quality time with him when he was in the stage of being hyper and always wanting to play sports." LeRoy said. Rachel's expression was unreadable at this point.
"Is that ok with you sweetie?" Hiram asked. She beamed again.
"Yes. It's perfect with me." The two men sighed in relief. "So you've decided on who you're adopting then? What's his name? Is he a good singer? Is he better than me? Can he dance? Is he a jock? Is he mean? Is he troubled?"
"Wait!" Hiram said over her stopping her ramblings. "We've found a sixteen year old boy called Ashley, who'd we like to adopt. He's had a rough first few years of his life apparently, but it's completely up to you when you meet him tomorrow if he's your new brother or not." He beamed. She nodded.
"I'll go select an outfit. Where will we be going?" She asked politely. The two men smiled at each other and then to their daughter.
"We're going shopping and having lunch out of town. Then we're coming back here for a chat and then out for dinner at breadsticks. You can ask him all your questions throughout tomorrow." LeRoy said positively. She smiled and nodded.
Rachel wondered out into the car. "Come on Ashley! We're going to be late." She called to the door. A skinny, tallish boy came running out in a colourful outfit. Purple shirt, lime green jeans, white converse and space invader suspenders hanging down.
"Sorry. My bag got caught on the table." He said slinging a white and green adidas bag into the passenger side.
"It's ok my clocks to fast anyway." She laughed. The boy laughed too.
They drove to school listening to Katy Perry Prism. Well belting out every song. When they had arrived they were met by Finn.
"Who's this? Oh wait this is Ashley right?" He asked dopily. The boy nodded.
"Yeah, you're Finn. Rachel's BF." He said fist pumping him. Finn nodded taking Rachel's bag and slinging an arm around her shoulder.
"So, you play football?" Finn asked. The other boy shook his head trying to keep up.
"Nah, I play British footy, but you call it Soccer here right?" He said. Finn nodded. "I'd rather play hockey like I used to in my old school." He smiled at the taller boy, while awkwardly trying to keep up.
"I do recommend taking up either, football or hockey, you're less likely to take a slushy facial." Finn laughed. "Though the hockey team don't get as much credit here as the football team." Ashley shrugged, finally at the same speed as them.
"I don't like the whole suit of armour football player thing." He replied holding the door open for the couple.
"What you mean?" Rachel asked. Finn looked down at her.
"He means the whole protection pad things." Finn dumbed down for her. She nodded.
"But yeah, I'd rather go for glee and hockey." He said.
"Who's this?" A familiar voice asked from behind them. Kurt skipped up beside Ashley.
"This is my new adopted brother Ashley." Rachel explained. She smiled at Kurt.
"So Ashley, you're joining our glee club?" He asked.
"Yeah, wait what did you say your name was?" Ashley asked confused.
"Kurt Hummel." He beamed. "Only out and proud kid in this dump." He added.
"Not surprised. And not for long." Ashley beamed.
"Wait what?" The step brothers asked in unison. "You never said he was gay." Finn continued.
"Oh, didn't come up." She smiled. "Sorry."
"Hey, I have to go talk to the principle apparently, so bye sis. Later guys, nice to meet you." Ashley walked away.
Ashely and Rachel walked into glee club. They went over to Mr Scheue to talk about Ashley joining.
"Of course you can. We're always looking for new members." The rest of the club hears from the risers.
"Who's the hottie with Berry?" Mercedes asked. Kurt looks at her.
"That's her new adopted brother Ashley." He started. "He said he was gay, and that he was going to come out." Kurt said worried. Mercedes darted him a look.
"Boy, he's hotter than chili sauce. He's gay, and he's cool with coming out." She hissed. Kurt couldn't piece together what she was getting at. "Ask him out." She snapped.
"I can't. It's weird that me and Finn are dating the two of them. Plus he's probably got a boyfriend if he was that ok with being out." Kurt explained.
"Fair point. But at least be friends with him. You could do with a gay friend." She beamed. He shoved her playfully.
"Ok guys! This is Ashley Berry. He's going to join us but we need to see him sing first." Mr Scheue yelled. The class cheered as Rachel sat down beaming at her brother.
"Right, um ok do you guys know Olly Murs?" Ashley asked the band. They nodded and he walked over to one of them to tell them the song.
"I Blame Hollywood"
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn
I wish that's how I felt
I just can't hide the fool that I am
As I let you walk away into the sunset
It's just another famine
I try to do the right thing
I ended up with nothing good
I blame Hollywood
I tried to be strong, to be brave, to behave like a hero (hero)
I tried to be tough, to be cool, to be smooth like De Niro (De Niro)
But it hurts without you
And I look like a fool
And I don't have a clue what to say when love breaks down
Cause this ain't Tinseltown
I made a mistake
I got confused
It's easy to forget
That this is real life
With so much to lose
When I let you walk away into the sunset
I wasn't broken hearted
To be a happy ending
But I ended up with nothing good
And I blame Hollywood
I tried to be strong, to be brave, to behave like a hero (hero)
I tried to be tough, to be cool, to be smooth like De Niro (De Niro)
But it hurts without you
And I look like a fool
And I don't have a clue what to say when love breaks down
Cause this ain't Tinseltown
No oh oh
Tinseltown, oh
Tinseltown, no oh oh
Tinseltown
I fell for the lines
You knew that I would
Hurry for Hollywood
I tried to be strong, to be brave, to behave like a hero (hero)
I tried to be tough, to be cool, to be smooth like De Niro (De Niro)
But it hurts without you
And I look like a fool
And I don't have a clue what to say when love breaks down
Cause this ain't Tinseltown
He finished and the room applauded.
"Wow, I can't be the only one to think that you're in the club with flying colours." Kurt said.
"I couldn't agree more Kurt." Mr Scheue beamed.
"Only the best for the Berry's." Rachel scoffed. Ashley rubbed the back of his head and sat down next to Mercedes at the edge of the room.
"Ok, this week's assignment is to get auditions for the club. Nationals is in New York this year and we're getting there no doubt!" Mr Scheue said optimistically as the room cheered. "Now we're gonna show the school that glees cool this year and we're better than ever!" He continued. Everyone cheered.
