A.N. So I had no intention of my first Glee story being this very short drabble but My Personal Rose convinced me to post it so here it is. Hope you like it!

Split Second
"Elope?"
Elope. She had just said elope. He knew he was dim-witted, he knew he was slow, he knew he didn't understand half the words that fell from her lips, her perfect lips, but he knew what elope meant. For a split second he allowed himself to imagine running away with Rachel. Just grabbing her hand and leaving this town to go somewhere, anywhere and marry her. He imagined her walking towards him, dressed in the perfect white dress she had always dreamed of. He imagined her smiling up at him as they were pronounced man and wife. He imagined leaning down to kiss her and her arms wrapping their way around his neck trying to keep herself at his height so he would have to lift her off her feet. He wouldn't have to worry about anyone telling him everything he did was wrong anymore because he would have Rachel, they could finish high school together and he could follow her to whichever college she decided on and get some job nearby to afford a tiny apartment for the two of them that would be just theirs, and then she would become a Broadway star and they would finally have kids and he could be a stay at home Dad. They would have a little boy that looked like him and a little girl who looked exactly like her Mom. They could call her Star, Rachel would probably love that. They could take them to the park every day and Rachel could teach Star how to sing and dance and he could teach his son how to shoot hoops and bowl, or maybe even the other way round, he didn't care what his kids would want to do as long as they were happy. Then every Christmas and Thanksgiving they could go home to Lima with the kids and either take his Mom to her Dad's place for the day or take her Dad's to his Mom's house. And he imagined Rachel crying when they both graduated high school after they had joined their Glee club and won nationals. They would be so happy.
Then he blinked.
"What?" he asked, watching his future disappear as the cold reality of the baby that was already growing inside Quinn wormed its way into his conscious mind.
"Nothing ..."
The End.
A.N. Please please please make my day and review :) thanks, Nicki
