Rachel Berry was sitting on her bed watching old high school photos. She was living in NYC, as a successful Broadway performer with many Tony awards on her stand, and she was only 23.
She was running through her Senior yearbook, looking at the photos of what she left behind 5 years ago she found the Glee Club, looking at the page the first faces she saw were Quinn and Sam's; and remembered the last time she saw them, 3 years ago.
"She was in Lima visiting her dad, Shelby and Beth; whom she made a bond during her Senior year. Her dads had run out of Vegan food so she decided to make a little trip to the market, bringing her sister with her.
-FLASHBACK-
-"Can I get my favorite cereal?" Beth asked, looking at her sister with big puppy eyes, Rachel had to laugh, it was just adorable.
-"Yes, but hurry up we gotta cook for mom and my daddies", Beth immediately ran down the hall towards the cereals, even thought they were not related by blood, it was amazing how much like her Beth always acts, she assumes it has something to do with Shelby.
Once Beth was back, they walked down the aisle picking a few extra stuff when she saw a familiar blond-haired boy
-"Sam? Sam Evans is that you? She asked, picking up Beth and placing her on her hip.
-"Rachel! What are you doing here? Its soo good to see you!" he replied, giving her a small hug.
-"I came to visit my dads, I come here every year…I thought I would never see you after you left before our senior year…what's up with you?" She said, dropping Beth on her feets.
-"Well I'm in UCLA, I'm the QB and I work on a car shop too… just came to visit" as soon as he finished his sentence the heard a "Dadda!" and she saw a little blonde kid running towards them, launching himself into Sam's awaiting arms
-"Didn't knew you had a son, he looks soo much like you Sam!... how old is he?"
-"He's two and the reason I got the job at the car shop…I know he looks like me but he has his mother's eyes… who's the little princess? Don't tell me its your daughter!" Sam joked, while brushing some hair out of his son's eyes
-"You are funny Samuel!...and no, not my daughter she's my baby sister Beth… she's adorable right? Anyways… who's your baby mama?" she asked, while searching for her phone so she could snap a picture of them
-"I am…" she heard and turned to see no other than Quinn Fabray standing next to Sam and picking the little boy from his arms
-"Nice to see you Quinn…are you in UCLA too?" she asked casually
-"No, someone has to take care of Clint…" she replied looking at her son "But it's okay, Sam's cousin will help us next year so I can get in college…it wont be UCLA but at least is something"
Rachel was about to say something when Quinn interrupt her
-"How's my dau…Beth…How's Beth? Have you seen her?" she asked looking at the brunette. Beth was the daughter Quinn and Noah gave up for adoption 4 years ago, and was adopted by her birth mom Shelby.
-"She's right here Quinn…" Rachel answered, pushing the little girl towards the family "Beth why don't you go say hi to Quinn?". The kid walked over to her and wrapped her tiny arms around her leg
-"Hi Qween" she said, before running back to hide behind her sister's legs. Quinn smiled at the little girl, whipping some tears off her face.
-"Mind if I take you a photo?... you could hold Beth if you want to" Rachel asked, knowing her former tormenter would love to have a picture of her little girl. Once she took the photo she send it to Sam, and giving Quinn Sheby's number and address.
-"Look guys we have to go, but I hope to see you guys again" with that, she said goodbye.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
She heard that Shelby allowed Quinn to see Beth, and they were both creating a bond. Moving to the next page on her yearbook, she landed on Santana. She hadn't seen her again, but knew she was in UCLA too, and was cheerleader. Then she saw Brittany and Artie, they both stayed in Lima, Brittany was the new WMHS Cheerios coach and was pretty good, they were seeking their third National championship while Artie was a Math teacher there. On the next page she saw Kurt and Mercedes, Kurt was in NYC too, and as expected, he was a Fashion designer, they keep contact but with his hectic schedule, its been months since the last time they meet. Mercedes moved to LA pursuing a tv career that took off a few months ago when she landed a job in a talk-show.
Flipping the page she saw Mike and Tina, they split, but they were still good friends, Mike was a professional dancer and Tina was in college. Then she saw Finn and Noah.
Finn was in OSU and was their starting QB, having few NFL teams after him. And Puck…last time she saw him was one night six months ago, and it was a day that would change her life forever…
