This is a repost of a story I posted last year. It's a little bit different to the original post as it it includes all of the deleted scenes, and a different storyline between Rachel and her mother as it was something I regretted writing in the original story. I haven't had any other ideas since and have been concentrating on trying to make a few different changes to this story so thought I might as well post it again.

Snapshot of A Memory : The story follows Quinn & Rachel through their lives together, coping with everything and anything life throws at them. It's a very long story, and the original was over 52 Chapters long, and I've tried to condense it to around 5 this time to make it easier to read, so I hope you enjoy.

I tried to keep the story working with what was happening in Glee during Season 2, but gave up after a while as the story lines were not making too much sense.

There are 5 chapters in all. Each with around 30,000 words so get ready for a long read. Each one follows them through over a decade of their lives so it's covering a lot of ground. I saw a lot on other sites about my grammar and spelling and I just wanted to say, don't expect too much. I'm a photographer and graphic designer not a writer so I'm not the best.

Please review if you like the story and if you read it before, see if you can find the new chapter additions within the story.

February 12th 2010

Quinn smiles when she sees the object of her affection standing next to her at the lockers. Rachel is getting her books out of her locker for the next lesson and as always is smiling brightly and enjoying her day.

"Berry" Quinn says acknowledging the girl next to her. Rachel looks over in shock however recovers quickly to reply back.

"Good morning Quinn" She smiles when she sees the blonde girl giving her a half smile back, until Rachel pulls out a small present from her locker. The diva looks at it before putting it back in.

Quinn looks into her own locker and at the jewellery box in the locker, and nods, finally ready to finally talk to the woman. "Finn trying to get in your good books?" She asks.

"Uh no" Rachel hesitates before seeing Quinn is generally interested. "It's from some of the Glee members." Quinn looks confused "It's my 16th today" Before Quinn can respond with a 'Happy Birthday' or anything along those lines, the diva is off walking down the corridor and into the classroom. Quinn smiles and picks up the jewellery box and knows that it's now time to do something special, for her crush.

Rachel and Kurt walk out of Chemistry together, and walk casually down the corridor both with their eyes wide open ready for the slushies that will probably be coming their way. Rachel opens her locker to dump her books so she can go enjoy lunch and sees something in her locker. "What's this?" she exclaims picking up the gift in confusion.

"Oooh another present." Kurt states looking over the smaller girls shoulder at the jewellery box in her hands, Rachel pulls the lid off to show a gorgeous gold star with the RB engraved onto the centre of it. "Jesus, that's gorgeous" Rachel nods in agreement and then sees a note attached to the box. Pulling it out, she opens it up and reads the note.

'Come to the auditorium. Alone. Happy Birthday. Xxx'

She shuts her locker, but Kurt stops her before she walks in the direction of the auditorium. "Rach, you're not thinking of going are you?" she nods "What if it's Jacob? It's just probably a trap for him to perve on you again?" She nods and begins to think about it. She has received many gifts from Jacob over the years, and none of them have been as nice as this, or even in the same league as this.

"If it is Jacob, then I'll hand him the present back and tell him to leave me alone like normal" she smiles "I need to know who got me this gorgeous necklace. I will text you if I need help" she squeezes the boys shoulder, before walking away trying to appear confident but also nervous as to finding out who got her this gorgeous, and obviously expensive necklace.

Rachel walks into the auditorium and looks around trying to see her 'secret admirer'. "Hello?" She shouts loudly, her voice echoing in the large room. "Is anyone there?" no answer "This is ridiculous" She states before turning on her heel and going to walk out of the auditorium but bumps into the 6 months pregnant Cheerio. "Quinn" she puts her hand to her heart to try and calm it, as the blond woman made her jump. "What are you doing here?"

Quinn gives the shorter woman a small smile and sees the jewellery box in her hands. "Did you like the necklace?" Rachel looks confused for a second however connects the dots and realises that Quinn must have given it her.

"You? Why did you" She shakes her head to stop the broken sentences "Thank you but..." Quinn interrupts before Rachel can carry on.

"You haven't got it on" Quinn notices "Here let me help you" Rachel looks at the taller woman for a minute before handing her the jewellery box and turning around so Quinn can put the necklace around her neck.

"Quinn, thank you, but why did you get me this? You hate me" Quinn shakes her head violently trying to convey to the diva without words that she doesn't hate the girl.

"I don't hate you. We need to talk" She walks in the direction of the chairs and takes a seat on one of them, smiling when Rachel after a few seconds follows and sits down next to her. Rachel fiddles with the necklace whilst she waits for Quinn to talk, she sighs when she realises the girl beside her is nervous, she sighs before turning slightly to talk to her.

"Quinn, why did you get me the necklace?" Quinn nods knowing that she needs to answer the girl.

Swallowing loudly, she looks in front of her and sighs. "I like you and I wanted to let you know that I like you and have for a while, so Happy Birthday" Rachel smiles.

"Thank you. You like me?" nod "As a friend?" Quinn nods again before taking a deep breath again.

"I do and possibly more than that" Rachel gasps "I know that you could ruin me with this knowledge but I had to let you know. It's been eating me up inside". There is silence for a little bit whilst Rachel is processing the information.

"Are you serious?"

Quinn nods and turns to look at Rachel who is looking confused and has something else in her eyes, which Quinn thinks could be happiness. "Like a heart attack" Rachel's mouth drops open and she leans back into the chair, her head hitting the headrest with force, and she lets out a big breath of air before looking up at the ceiling. She nods before speaking, still looking up at the ceiling and not at Quinn.

"This is another practical joke right? Where is Santana? How many cameras are pointed at me? This is beyond cruel Quinn; I really didn't think you'd ever go as far as this" Quinn shakes her head and grabs Rachel's hand that looks down at the girl to the side of her.

"I brought that necklace just before Christmas. I have kept it in my locker since then. I have the receipt if you want it" Rachel shakes her head "Do you really think I'd buy you something like that if I wasn't serious?"

"Can you understand why I am dubious?" Quinn nods.

"Of course I can. It's the reason why I haven't said anything sooner" She smiles at the girl trying to calm her. "What can I do to make you believe me?" She squirms in her seat under Rachel's gaze. She feels like the girl is looking straight through her trying to see if she is telling the truth or not. The girl nods and smiles slightly at the girl.

"Kiss me!" Quinn looks at her in shock. She was expecting a slap or anything along those lines, but nothing like this.

"What?" she asks in shock.

"Kiss me"

"You do realise if this is a prank, that we could edit the video to make it look..." Rachel nods cutting off the other girl.

"I don't care. My sexuality is never something I'll care about. I've been raised with the opportunity to be whatever I want to be. Kiss me" Quinn smiles and tries to turn in her chair, but her baby bump is stopping her from reaching over to the other girl. Rachel chuckles and stands up, Quinn thinks she's walking out however is shocked when she feels Rachel's hands on her shoulder pushing her back and knees slipping either side of her. Rachel is now straddling the pregnant girl, and leans down ready to kiss the girl in front of her.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Rachel nods with a smile. "I've been told that I'm one hell of a kisser" Rachel chuckles before leaning down and whispering huskily.

"Let me make that decision" Quinn flashes her blinding smile "I'm sure. If you're pulling a prank though, I will make you regret it" Quinn shakes her head.

"I'm not pulling a prank. I promise you Rach" Rachel smiles at the nickname before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes ready for Quinn. Quinn leans up and captures Rachel's sweet lips in her own. She stays still to begin with, wanting Rachel to make the next move. Rachel moves her lips and opens her mouth and this is enough for Quinn to take over the kiss and giving the diva the best kiss of her life so far.

This kiss carries on for the next 20 minutes until the bell goes off meaning they have 5 minutes to get to class. Rachel pulls away from Quinn, before leaning forward and giving her a peck quickly before getting off her lap and retaking the seat next to the other girl. Once there, she lets out a little giggle making Quinn swoon.

"I've made my decision" Rachel breaks the silence. Quinn turns her eyes to Rachel who smiles at her.

"And that is?"

"You are one hell of a kisser" Quinn lets her head fall back and lets out a laugh. She reaches for Rachel's hand, trying to make the last moments they have together before class.

"Do you believe me now?" Rachel nods before chewing on her lip.

"Yeah. Can I ask you a question without you going off on one?" Quinn smiles and nods. "Why did you treat me so badly if you liked me?" Quinn nods knowing that this question was coming at some point. She looks at her watch and sees they are already late for class, so 5 more minutes won't do any harm.

"I'm a proper little Christian girl. My dad has always told me homosexuality is wrong and when I started to have dreams about another girl, you, I freaked out" Rachel nods in understanding "With that and the fact that I was supposed to be the HBIC and then with me being knocked up, I took it out on the person that I was crushing on" Rachel smiles at the last comment.

"Crushing on? I quite like that. You made my life hell Quinn, you can't just say that was anger at the fact you liked me?" Quinn sighs knowing that was the other girl was saying was true.

"I... You annoyed me. You really annoyed the hell out of me" Rachel chuckles "Now I find pretty much all of your annoying habits adorable, but back then... I'm a sheep. Santana made everything worse; I was scared of what she'd do to me if I didn't follow the order." She runs a hand through her long blonde tresses "I can't apologise enough for the way I've treated you Rachel and I hope one day you can forgive me enough to maybe, like, date me or even just be my friend" Rachel smiles.

"You are forgiven if you keep kissing me like that"

"That I can do" Rachel squeezes her hand "Rach, I'm not ready to come out right now, you know that right? I have to deal with this first" She says running her free hand over her 6 month baby bump.

"I understand. I need to evaluate my feelings as well. I do know that my reactions to this" she runs a hand between the two of them "is not what a straight girl should be feeling".

"What about Finn?" she says. He's been on her mind throughout the last hour, knowing that the girl at the side of her is after Finn, and they might even be together.

"We're not together. It's just a friendship" Rachel sighs and looks at her watch, seeing that they've missed 10 minutes of their next lesson. She could easily just say she was slushied again; no teacher was ever going to question that. She stands up and holds her hand out for Quinn to use to help herself up. Once up, Quinn leans in and kisses the shorter girl. "We need to get to class" Quinn kisses her again making the shorter girl swoon. "Stop it. Ugh, for the first time in my life I don't want to get to class" Quinn chuckles.

"Are you free tonight?" Rachel nods.

"Come on over to mine. Here is the address. Shall we say around 6" Quinn smiles "My dad's are cooking something to do with meat tonight?"

"I'll see you then" She leans forward and pecks the girl's lips before walking away.

Quinn knocks on the door to the Berry house, and whilst she waits she gathers up the courage to meet the Berry men. The door opens and she comes face to face with a 5"8 man with glasses who looks just like her crush making her smile. "Hello sir. Is Rachel home?"

The shorter man smiles before holding out his hand for Quinn to shake. She does so smiling, hoping it's enough to show that she's not nervous. "You must be Quinn. She's getting ready at the moment. The last time we looked she's tried on every outfit she owns" A squeal behind him makes them both alert.

"Dad!" The man laughs before walking towards his daughter and kissing her on the head.

"Here she is. Dinner should be ready in 20 minutes. Come on in out of the doorway Quinn" Quinn nods and steps into the house. Rachel walks over and gives her a hug.

"Quinn meet my dad Elijah Berry. Dad this is Quinn" He gives her a small wave making the blonde girl smile. "Come on lets go up to my room" Rachel grabs Quinn's hand and pulls her up the stairs. Quinn slows down and stairs intently at Rachel's ass as she ascends the stairs. She follows the diva into her room, and is shocked when it is the opposite of what she imagined. The room is a beige colour and is covered in a few pictures of stage shows on Broadway however are mainly full of pictures of Rachel & family and Rachel and the glee club. She turns around and smiles at the diva who is stood in front of her. "Hi" she says smiling. Quinn looks away with a shy smile on her face.

"So now you're shy" the diva says softly. Quinn nods looking towards the door.

"Your dad's are downstairs"

"The doors locked. Now kiss me." Quinn smiles.

"Are you always this demanding?" Rachel chuckles and nods.

"You've got something I want. Of course I am" she leans forward and kisses the girl deeply. "Mmm, I don't think I'll ever tire of this" Quinn chuckles and nods, kissing the girl quickly.

"Good because I don't think I will ever tire of it as well" she hugs her tightly before pulling back and looking into her chocolate orbs. "We need to talk" Rachel nods and the two of them sit down on edge of the bed quietly, however after a few seconds, Rachel curls into Quinn's side making the girl smile. "You're a touchy feely person aren't you?" She asks accepting the embrace and running her fingers through Rachel's hair.

"I am. Get used to it" Quinn nods. "Are we going to have a relationship or do you just want sex?" Rachel asks bluntly making the blonde choke in shock. She looks down at the other girl, not quite believing what she just asked. "Yes I know, I could do with a filter"

"I want a relationship and later, I wouldn't mind the sex" She leans over and lifts Rachel's chin upwards so she's looking into her eyes. "Rach, do you even find me slightly attractive? I can't do this if you just think you like me. I can't deal with..." She's interrupted by Rachel's lips on hers.

"God Quinn, you are stunning. I've known for a long time that I am bisexual and I have always thought that you are gorgeous. I know I like you and I don't care that you are 6 months pregnant. I'm here for you, and I've decided to do this so" she looks down at the bump and hovers her hand over it. "Can I?" Quinn nods, and holds her hand over Rachel's on the bump. They wait a little bit and sure enough, the little girl kicks right under Rachel's hand.

"She likes you"

"It's amazing" she says in awe "Quinn? Are you going to keep her?" Quinn looks at the girl at her side and shrugs.

"I love her Rach. I haven't even met her yet but I love her so much. I wanna give her the best life possible" She wipes a tear from her eye and curses at herself for getting emotional. Bloody hormones. "I don't know if that's going to be with me or not" Rachel hugs the girl at her side tightly.

"You have time" Quinn nods and leans forward and kiss the girl deeply and they stay like that until Elijah Berry calls for them for tea.

February 16th 2010

It was now the weekend, Quinn & Rachel had organised their first date for today and Quinn as she stood outside the Berry household again, was shaking in her boots. She can't remember the last time she was this nervous, probably when she found out that she was pregnant with this little one for the first time. She can't believe that she's calling Rachel Berry of all people her girlfriend, but here she was, smiling like a fool and really looking forward to seeing her girlfriends smiling face. They were also celebrating their first Valentine's Day together on this first date, it was a little late but due to school they had no time on Thursday.

She knocks on the door and almost immediately Elijah Berry opens it. He smiles at the pregnant girl before opening the door wider to let her in.

"Hello Quinn. Come on in. How is the little one today? And yourself of course" She smiles at the man who is so much like her girlfriend its amazing.

"She's fine Mr Berry thank you" She sees the tall African American in the living room and assumes this must be Rachel's other father. She steps forward and holds out her hand for him. He looks at it for a second before embracing her tightly making the girl stumble in shock. "Nice to meet you Mr Berry." The man chuckles before pulling back.

"Call me Joe. Mr Berry is my father in law. Rach should be down in a moment" They hear a noise behind them and Quinn's mouth drops in shock at the sight of her girlfriend in a mini dress which shows off her thighs beautifully.

"Quinn? You alright?" Rachel asks walking up to the pregnant girl, taking her hand in her own.

"Uh yeah. You look beautiful Rach" Rachel gives her a 100 watt smile and embraces the girl tightly.

"We'll leave you both to it. Have her home by 11 Quinn." Quinn nods and watches as the Berry men walk into the kitchen. Rachel steps even closer to Quinn and looks into her eyes asking for permission for a kiss. Quinn nods and Rachel leans forward and brings their lips together. They leave it as a quick kiss, as both know that they are probably being watched.

"I've missed you" the diva admits when they pull back. Quinn chuckles and nods in agreement.

"Let's get going"

Rachel opens her eyes and is shocked to see they are now stood by a stream and in front of them is a picnic. Quinn had made her close her eyes after they got out of the car, and she was not prepared for this. "A picnic?"

Quinn hears the doubt in Rachel's voice and quickly begins to apologise. "I'm sorry it's all I could afford and I had to go shopping and make all this food without Mrs Puckerman seeing me" Rachel cups Quinn's cheek in hand and pecks her lips.

"Shh princess. I wasn't saying anything bad. This is the most romantic thing anyone has done for me" Kiss "Thank you"

Quinn smiles and they both sit down on the blanket that Quinn has laid down and Quinn begins to unpack all of the food. "Princess? I like that. Eat up"

A few hours later Quinn & Rachel are laying together on the blanket under the tree, just watching the night sky, the stream and just being content in being together. Currently they are making out and Quinn has Rachel's very short dress bunched up in her hand and is moaning at the taste of her girlfriends mouth. She pulls back however when it gets too much. Rachel looks up at her in confusion.

"We need to stop baby. I won't be able to stop myself from going too far otherwise" Rachel smiles when she hears this knowing that the girl in her arms does want her.

"Does it matter if we go too far?" Quinn looks at Rachel making sure she understands her meaning completely.

"Rach. I don't want our first time to be this quickly. If we do this now, for one thing, we're outside and another it wouldn't be fair to you. The first time with you will be special. It will" She kisses the girl before hugging her tightly.

"Soon though?" Quinn nods chuckling.

"Soon, you horn dog"

February 26th 2010

Quinn turns to look at her girlfriend who is lying beside her with a sated look on her face. They had just had their first time together and it was everything as special as Quinn had wanted it to be. It wasn't planned. Not even in the slightest, but it was perfect and amazing and oh so much better than her time with Puck, 6 months ago.

Rachel lets out an exaggerated sigh which makes Quinn giggle and turn towards her as much as she can with her oversized belly. Rachel talks first breaking the silence of the afterglow. "That was amazing. Really amazing" Quinn nods and kisses the girl.

"It'll be even better when I can get rid of this bump. Then I can enjoy you when and as much as I want to. Thank you angel." Rachel closes her eyes and mumbles out something which Quinn doesn't quite catch.

March 4th 2010

Quinn sits there smiling at her girlfriend of a few months ramblings. Rachel had been going on for about 10 minutes on something to do with how to properly get enough nutrients into her body for herself and the baby, and Quinn yes had tuned out about 1 minute into the ramblings, but she loved the sound of Rachel's voice, and the passion with which she spoke about something that she really had no control over.

When Rachel realises she has been rambling and Quinn is sat there smirking at her, she closes her eyes and stops. "Sorry I'll stop rambling" She says dejectedly.

Quinn shakes her head and tips Rachel's head up with her fingers under her chin. "Please don't. I love hearing you talk"

"Yeah right" Rachel scoffs out knowing that her girlfriend is just trying to make her feel better. She looks away from Quinn's eyes and shoves the fingers under her chin out of the way.

"Rae, look at me" Rachel decides no harm can come from it. "You have the most beautiful voice. I love it whether you're talking, singing or screaming my name" Rachel blushes at this. "My baby girl loves hearing you talk as well Rae. She only seems to calm around you" Rachel smiles and places her hand on Quinn's stomach smiling when the baby girl kicks her hand. "Rae, I have to ask, something about what your dads' said earlier, do they know we're" She swallows "active?"

Rachel laughs out loud at the choice of words and shakes her head. "Probably not. I'm their innocent little girl and with you being pregnant, I think they just assumed we're waiting until after"

"I'm the girl that has corrupted you then" Quinn asks leaning forward and kissing her girl on the neck making her moan.

"God yes. I never had these thoughts until you kissed me. You opened a can of worms"

Quinn licks her pulse point making Rachel groan and run her fingers through her hair. "Good I like your dirty thoughts" The baby in her stomach stops her train of thought with a very hard kick to her insides making her pull away in pain. "Ow. Geez kiddo, I'm trying to have a nice moment here"

Rachel chuckles and bends down and lifts Quinn's shirt and kisses her stomach. "Hey baby girl. Are you going to let us sleep?" She winks up at Quinn with the wink comment until she realises that Quinn will probably have to go back. "Wait, do you have to go back home?"

Quinn shakes her head and feels the kicks inside her stomach subside. "San owes me. I said I was at hers"

Rachel furrows her brow. "Won't she ask questions?"

"If she finds out, I'll deal with them" Quinn smiles. "She's calm. I love that you can do that. With Puck she just kicks even harder. I think she's trying to show off for him"

Rachel laughs out loud. "I forget sometimes you are having a mini puck. Are you worried she's going to be more like him than you?"

Quinn groans and nods. "I'm more worried she'll come out with a Mohawk and trying to chat up the nurse"

Rachel throws her head back and laughs at the very disturbing image.

"That'll be a site. Quinn?" She asks nervously and Quinn nods telling her to go on. "Why do you like me?"

"Pardon?" Quinn asks in shock.

"I'm loud. I'm obnoxious. I talk too much, I'm ugly and I'm absolutely hated in school"

Quinn whips her hair back and glares at Rachel for thinking such stupid things. "Whoa" Quinn says trying to get her head around what is being said. "Look at me" Rachel shakes her head. "Look at me Rachel Berry now" she demands. Tears begin to form in her eyes not quite believing her girlfriend thinks this of herself. "You. Are. Not. Ugly." She says with so much conviction it shocks Rachel. "You are the most, absolutely beautiful woman I have ever met"

Rachel shakes her head and looks back down at her hands. "I'm not"

"Berry" She growls making Rachel very nervous. "Listen to me please" Rachel nods and turns her teared filled eyes to her girlfriend. "You are stunning, beautiful, gorgeous, amazing, and pretty, absolutely breathtaking. You are the most perfect person to walk this earth in my eyes" Rachel smiles softly. "Even Santana thinks you are hot. You are not loud" Rachel raises her eyebrow. "Yes, you are talkative and sometimes don't know when to stop talking but you are ugh" She shakes her head struggling to find the right words. "Listen to me babe. You are beautiful"

Rachel smiles and nods knowing Quinn won't listen any other way. "I'll shut up for now. You'll never be able to describe away the hated part though. Even Glee club hates me"

"No they don't" Quinn says.

"They do" Rachel says before lying down on the bed and pulling Quinn with her.

March 18th 2010

A knock on the door breaks through Elijah Berry's episode of Criminal Minds. He presses pause on the remote before getting up and opening the door to see his daughter's girlfriend standing their crying her eyes out, soaked to the bone, from the pouring rain outside. "Quinn? Oh sweetheart come on in" He ushers her inside rubbing his hands up and down her arms trying to warm her up. "Rachel, Joe!" Seconds later he hears two pairs of footsteps running down the stairs to see what's wrong. Rachel stops when she sees her girlfriend crying.

"Quinn?" She runs over to the taller girl and hugs her tightly. "Hey what's wrong?"

"I... I got into an argument with Puck's mother. She called me a whore" Rachel gasps and begins to plot what she could do to the woman who has hurt her girl. "I had to get out of there, I packed and then realised I had nowhere to go. I'm going to try and go back to my parents tomorrow, I just needed to hold you" Rachel pulls Quinn close to her body tightly, not quite believing that this girl is willing to go back to the people who treated her so horribly.

She doesn't have to wait long as her dads to pipe up. Joe Berry steps forward and holds his hand to Quinn's shoulder. "You are not going back to your parents Quinn. You can stay here. You are 8 months pregnant, we're not letting you go anywhere else" Quinn looks back at the man in shock.

"I can't ask..."

"You are not asking Quinn. We are telling you" Elijah Berry states, smiling softly at her. "We might have already got you a little baby present anyway" She goes to protest but he stops her. "We didn't buy it. I swear. Someone" He points to Joe "just had a little hard time throwing stuff away when little miss diva grew up" Quinn chuckles at their nickname.

"I don't know if I'm keeping her" They nod, knowing this is the case.

"Quinn look at me" she raises her eyes to Joe's. "You have a home here, for however long you want. That means your little girl gets a home here as well. If you decide to keep her, we'll be here for you sweetheart." She looks at them all in shock, not expecting this sort of treatment.

"Are you sure?" They nod.

"Yes, Welcome home sweetie" Joe hugs her. "We'll leave you two tonight, but they'll be rules tomorrow night" She nods in understanding.

Once they get to Rachel's bedroom, Rachel kisses Quinn's forehead and then looks into the eyes of the girl. "Get out of those clothes baby" Quinn smirks and Rachel giggles knowing what's going through her mind. "Stop looking at me like that and do it. You'll catch a chill. Please just get down to your underwear" Quinn nods and begins to strip. She isn't blind to the way that Rachel licks her lips, it's been awhile since they've slept together, mainly due to the time available they have and as well as that, Quinn's baby bump is making it very difficult. "I'm going to run a bath for you baby" Quinn nods and smiles and follows her girlfriend into the bathroom.

Later that night, they are lying in bed together snuggling as easy as they can with Quinn's very pregnant stomach. Rachel is spooning Quinn and is kissing the back of her neck, trying to calm the other woman down.

"Are you alright sweetheart?"

"I feel loved" Quinn admits and Rachel smiles. She leans forward so her cheek is resting against Quinn's.

"You are loved. Very much so." Quinn jerks, and Rachel pulls back so Quinn can move onto her back and the woman does turn onto her back and stares at Rachel in shock. They have only been together 3 months so this admission was a shock to Quinn.

"Do you mean..." she trails off.

"I do" Rachel nods. "I know it's soon but I do. I love you Quinn. So very much" Quinn's lips burst into a wide smile making Rachel's heart burst.

"I love you too sweetheart" Quinn leans up as much as she can and kisses Rachel deeply, however again the belly get's in the way. "God my stomach annoys me. I love her but I wanna be with you right now" Rachel nods knowing that Quinn wants it just as much as she did before, but found it very difficult with the very active child in her stomach.

"You have to wait like 8 weeks after the birth or something as well" Quinn groans "After that you are all mine princess" She leans forward and kisses her deeply. "I love you".

March 27th 2010

Santana was currently sat at the Berry's household in Quinn's bedroom. They had decided to put all animosity behind them, and currently were working on their science project together. The very pregnant Quinn is situated on the floor working through her work, and asks Santana to get her some more paper off her desk.

Santana picks up the paper, and curses when something underneath the paper falls to the floor. She bends down to pick it up, and sees that it's pictures, pictures of Rachel & Quinn. She smiles at the first three, as it does look just like two friends hugging, however on the last two, her eyes bug out of her head.

In the first picture Quinn is holding the camera in front of the mirror and her head is bent down kissing Rachel deeply. Rachel has her hands wrapped around Quinn's middle and is smiling into the kiss.

The second picture is a picture of Rachel & Quinn lying in bed, both with lazy smiles on their faces. They are both obviously not wearing much, if not nothing at all. Quinn looks up and sees that Santana has the pictures she just printed out this morning in her hands.

"Fucking hell. San, it's not what it looks like" Santana lets out a sarcastic laugh and hands the very pregnant girl on the floor the pictures before sitting opposite her.

"The first three pictures just look like you and Berry are good mates, the last two however, how are you going to explain them?" Quinn knows there is no point lying now, and Santana recently had been pretty cool, apologising to Quinn for the way she had been treating her.

"I love her San." Santana looks at her shock, not quite believing that for a second. "On her birthday I kissed her, we have taken it slow but... I love her Santana"

"Does she feel the same?"

Quinn nods. "She told me the night I moved in" Santana nods and tries to process the information.

"Oh... You are shacked up with Berry?" Quinn nods. "Are you blind Quinn?" Quinn sends her best friend a glare which could make even Santana cower with fear.

"Blind? She's gorgeous Santana. Absolutely stunning. You can't tell me you haven't noticed" Santana smiles and doesn't answer.

"What about your rep Quinn?" Quinn laughs.

"My reputation is shot. I'm 8 months pregnant San. Plus, to be honest, as long as I am with her I don't care about anything like that" She sighs. "She's made me feel like I can actually keep the baby" She says with tears in her eyes and Santana looks at her in shock.

"You're going to keep her?" She points towards the very pregnant belly in front of her.

"I'm not sure yet. I want to. I can't risk hurting her. I'm just a child myself Santana" Santana nods knowing that out of all of them, Quinn would be the best parent. She can't believe how much she's changed in the last few months. She has known the girl in front of her since kindergarten and can't believe they're in this situation now.

"Hello Santana, Quinn" Rachel says as she walks into the room making Quinn smile at the sight of her. Rachel stops though in her tracks when she sees that Quinn has been crying. She sees the pictures on the floor in between the two friends and immediately assumes that Santana has said something to make Quinn cry. Quinn is sure that she hears the girl growl at Santana, and immediately puts her hand up to stop the girl from flipping out.

"Babe, she didn't do anything. I'm just talking about the baby" Rachel immediately calms down and sits by Quinn making sure she is alright.

"Does she know?" Quinn nods. "Okay"

"I couldn't lie to her"

"I understand. Don't worry" She looks at the other girl and smiles.

"I'll keep your secret. I promise you Treasure Trail" Quinn actually does growl.

"Call her that again and I'll tell Britt that you love her" Santana turns her glare on Quinn but the other girl doesn't even budge.

"You wouldn't dare!"

"I wouldn't, but... please San" Rachel hugs the other girl to her tightly trying to calm her down.

"It's okay baby. We both know that Treasure Trail, Man Hands and RuPaul are just stupid names. My hands are nothing like a man's" Quinn chuckles and nods, leaning forward and kissing Rachel's cheek.

"Now that I can attest to"

"Can I offer the two of you some food?" Quinn nods making Rachel laugh.

"That'll be great baby thank you" Rachel walks out and Santana stares at Quinn like she's grown two heads.

"I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. She's normal around you"

"She is normal San" Quinn states "She's very shy. She puts on an act to try and get people to notice and like her. She just talks to hide her insecurities." Santana scoffs. "Talk to her. Get to know her. She's amazing. Believe me"

April 14th 2010

It was now a few weeks after Santana had found out, and Quinn had now been living with the Berries for under a month and was deliriously happy with Rachel. She now had someone to talk to due to Santana finding out about them and she seems to spend any time she can when she's away from Brittany, at the Berries talking to Quinn & Rachel.

"So how is it living with the dwarf" Quinn smacks Santana on the arm with the back of her hand and Santana groans in pain. "Ow that hurt"

"Good" Quinn smiles. "You should never piss off a pregnant woman. No more insulting my girl anymore San. She really doesn't deserve it." Santana looks at her in shock.

"God. Who are you and what have you done with Quinn Fabray?" Quinn chuckles at the statement knowing that she has changed a lot since being with Rachel.

"She got a soul" She smiles. "And got the girl as well. She makes me..."

"Sappy" Santana finishes off for her. Quinn chuckles at the smile on Santana's face. She may take the Mickey but the girl is happy for her. She's always needed to act tough to keep her reputation.

"I know she does. I love her for it though" Santana nods and looks down at Quinn's overly large stomach.

"So... you are keeping the brat?" Quinn smiles at the comment.

"Stop calling your god daughter a brat" Santana's head whips round at a very fast speed and her mouth is open in shock. Quinn smiles evilly at her knowing that the girl is going to get all mushy over this.

"God daughter? What? Huh?" Santana mumbles.

"You are hilarious when you are confused. I want you to be her god mother. If I keep her... I'm pretty sure I will" Santana's face breaks into a confused smile.

"Quinn, are you sure?" Quinn nods. "I'm not really the best role model"

Quinn nods and pulls her best friend in for a hug.

"You will protect this baby girl like no one else. You are perfect for god mother. If I keep her, I'm having you and Rach as god mothers and then asking Artie & Kurt to be her god father's" Santana nods and smiles at the news.

"Oh my god. This is pretty amazing. Wait, you are not having Finn as god father then?" Quinn chuckles and then grimaces.

"No. I can just imagine his response when Rach & I come out. It's not going to be pretty" Santana nods. "He seems to think he owns her" She shivers at the thought of the tall boy. "What's your response then?"

"Fuck yeah. Thank you for trusting me with this Quinn. It means a lot" She leans in for another hug before pulling back to watch more cartoons. "Wait, why is Man Hands being god mother?"

Quinn sighs and looks down at her hands. "I love her San. If I keep this little one, I want Rachel to help me raise her. She won't have any rights though. If I die, I want her and Puck to raise her. Then of course you, Kurt & Artie. Stop with the names as well San. I've had enough" Santana raises her hands in surrender before looking back at the television.

April 17th 2010

Quinn is currently sat in the choir room and smiles when the father of her baby walks into the room running his hand over his newly shaven head. She's been avoiding him since his mother said those awful words to her, but obviously now he had found her and wanted to talk.

"I'm sorry about my mom Quinn. You didn't need to run out like that though, she was in the wrong and she knew it" Quinn looks at him in shock. She knew he was a mommy's boy, but she didn't think he'd stick by her at this point.

"She called me a whore Puck. I can't live with someone who treats me like that" He looks at her and nods in understanding.

"Where are you living now?"

"Rae's" She states without thinking. Now he's going to question her even more and she knows out of everyone he deserves to know about her and Rachel the most but she knows the perverted questions will be coming as soon as she tells him.

"Who?" He states in confusion.

She sighs and smiles slightly. "Berry's" she states so there is no confusion of where she is living. He gasps and holds her hand tightly.

"Oh my god. Poor you. Seriously come back home. My mom can't be worse than living with Berry" Quinn growls and smacks him as hard as she can on the arm.

"Shut it Puckerman!" she states "I'm staying at Rachel's and that is it"

He nods and racks his brain remembering Quinn's smile and the nickname she gave Rachel. "Why did you call her Rae, Quinn?" She nods knowing it was coming and tries to backpedal as much as she can.

"It was just a nickname I came up with last night" She blushes remembering what they got up to last night, even with her overly large stomach.

"Quinn. Look at me. What is going on? I've never seen you blush so much" She sighs and knows now he's not going to let it go and she needs to tell him for the sake of their daughter.

"Okay. Do you remember that person I was seeing a few weeks ago?" He nods and smiles.

"The one you slept with?" She looks at him in shock. "Come on Q, I know you too well remember. You came home sticking of someone else and sex" She smiles.

"Yeah well. It was Rachel" He looks confused "The girl I'm seeing is Rachel. The person I am in love with is Rachel Berry" He looks at her before laughing out loud.

"This is an evil prank Quinn. A good one, but evil" She glares at him making him cower back in fear.

"This is no prank Puckerman. Only you and Santana knows at the moment. I want to deal with the baby before we come out and Rae respects that" He looks at her in shock, hearing the love in her voice.

"You hate Rachel and she hates you" She shakes her head.

"No we don't. Quite the opposite. We've been dating since her birthday in February" He looks shocked and takes a seat down next to her trying to get his head around this news.

"You're gay?" She nods.

"Do you have anything bad to say about that?" He smiles evilly.

"Can I watch?" She laughs knowing that was coming and smacks his arm.

"No!" She states "Are you okay with me dating her Puck? I'm probably going to keep this little one, so if I stay with Rachel, it'll be raised by her as well" He looks over and smiles when he hears that Quinn might be keeping their baby.

"You might be keeping her?" Nod "Awesome. Yeah I'm cool. Is Rach okay with it?" She nods and he holds up his arm and she curls into his side for a hug.

"I have a home now Puck. One I know I can raise her in. I can give her a good life. I will of course pay the Berries back for their hospitality but... yeah I can't see myself giving her up when I love her this much" He ruffles her hair and smiles.

"I'm happy for you baby mama"

April 23rd 2010

Rachel, Quinn & Mercedes sneak into the Vocal Adrenaline practise room.

"Do you think they can see us?" Mercedes asks.

"I hope not or we're gonna go to jail" Quinn says in a whisper.

"Stealing their ideas is not a crime" Rachel says pushing past Quinn and following Mercedes to their seats on the balcony. Quinn takes Rachel's hand as soon as they sit down and Mercedes who is the only one so far other than Santana & Puck to know about the relationship smiles. She has been threatened within an inch of her life if she tells anyone. "They look amazing" Rachel admits. Shelby Corcoran the Vocal Adrenaline coach is taking her students through a performance and the people on stage who are all dressed in red are dancing around.

"Okay, Okay, Okay, Just enough" Shelby exclaims. "You guys aren't getting it. You are letting the costumes do all of the work. Theatricality isn't about crazy outfits, it's not enough to douse yourself with gasoline, you have to light a fire to make it work" She exclaims throwing her hands in the air trying to get through to her students.

"God she's good" Rachel says from her position on the balcony.

"Being theatrical doesn't mean you have to you have to be a nuclear explosion, it can be like, like a quiet storm, you just have to radiate emotion, express what's deep inside you" She smiles "That is what theatricality is truly about" She puts her hands on her hips. "Do I have to demonstrate?" She flicks her head to the piano teacher. "Funny Girl, E Flat"

Rachel leans towards Quinn. "Exactly what I would have done" She says watching Shelby get ready for the performance. "Barbra. I could do it in my sleep".

Shelby walks across the stage and starts performing Funny Girl and realisation dawns on Rachel. She grips hold of Quinn's hand in her own as she watches this woman who could be her mother walk and perform amazingly. She drops Quinn's hand and steps up and walks away from them.

"Where are you going?" Mercedes hisses to Rachel.

"Get back here" Quinn says, worry edging her tone not understanding what is up with Rachel. Standing up she chases her girlfriend until she sees her walking down the steps through the seats her eyes wide open on Shelby. Quinn stands there, deciding not to go any further and just watch Rachel watch the director. Rachel begins to move even more and Quinn starts to panic. They could get thrown in jail for this.

"Miss Corcoran?" Rachel asks. Shelby's head snaps over to see Rachel standing in the aisle. "I'm Rachel Berry. I'm your daughter" Shelby just stares at her. Quinn's eyes widen wondering how the hell Rachel knew this. Seeing she obviously needs time she walks back up to their original position near Mercedes who raises her eyebrows in question. Quinn just shrugs still in shock at the news.

Rachel is sat in the seats, and two rows back Shelby is sat there staring at her daughter.

"Did you ever regret it?" Rachel asks staring at the seat in front of her.

Shelby nods. "Yes" She shakes her head. "Then no and so much" she says closing her eyes not quite believing they are in this situation.

"When did you realise it was the right time for me to found you?" she lets out a small laugh. "I saw you sing at Sectionals, you were extraordinary" She shrugs "You were me"

"Was it hard for you to not become a star? For your dreams not to come true"

Shelby just stares ahead. "It felt like a broken promise, like the fisher kings wound. It never heals"

Rachel laughs and looks down at her hand.

"Genetics are amazing" She lifts her head. "You see the world with the same fierce theatricality I do. Even the way we're sitting right now is so dramatic but we feel so comfortable with it"

Shelby looks away and sees two people in the balcony staring at them trying to listen to every word. "I've missed so much" Shelby leans forward in her seat. "How do you feel?"

"Thirsty" Shelby looks confused and Rachel turns to face her. Quinn smiles, she's heard this before and it made her fall even more in love with the girl. "When I was little and I used to get sad, my dad's used to bring me a glass of water. It got to be that I couldn't tell if I was sad or thirsty" Shelby leans back in her seat and tries to say the next words.

"I shouldn't have done this" She says standing up. "This was supposed to feel good" She picks up her handbag. "We were supposed to have this slow motion, run into each other's arms, this is all wrong" She says running a hang through her hair.

Rachel sits forward in her seat still turned to face her mom. "Maybe we could just go to dinner or something, get over the initial shock" Shelby looks t her.

"I'm so sorry Rachel. I" She stumbles over her words. "I'll call you" She then runs out of the room and Rachel is left to her own devices. Anger bubbles in Quinn and she walks down the steps and sits next to Rachel holding her hand. Her heart breaks when she sees Rachel sob and she wraps her arms around her the best she can.

April 25th 2010

After the Poker face performance, Rachel almost collapses onto the piano bench. Quinn comes out of nowhere and Brad takes the hint and goes out of the room. Embracing her girlfriend from behind she kisses her neck trying to calm her down. She can't believe how that woman has treated this gorgeous girl in her arms. Rachel was perfect and that woman had just nearly broken her. She keeps kissing anywhere she can reach and she feels the sobs that Rachel is creating begin to subside. Rachel turns around and smiles at Quinn and kisses her lips.

"I have some bad news. Puck wants to name our daughter Jack Daniels" Quinn tells Rachel as she holds her in her arms. Rachel pulls back in shock.

"She's a girl" She exclaims.

"His solution then was Jackie Daniels. I can't believe I'm having his child. It's days like these that I really think I'm doing the right thing by giving her up" Rachel's heart breaks at this. Quinn's mind keeps changing, one minute she is telling her she wants to raise their daughter together, and then others she talks about giving her up.

Rachel decides to forget it and leans forward and rests her head on Quinn's shoulder.

"Why doesn't she want me?" She asks and Quinn's heart breaks.

"I have no idea. You are amazing Rachel Berry and I love you" Rachel smiles and kisses her lips and tries to use kissing Quinn to forget her heartbreak.

######

Quinn walks into the spacious room off the side of the auditorium and smiles at the sight of her girlfriend pacing the room. Even when she knows something is wrong, and that she is probably about to get shouted at or worse, she still finds the diva breathtakingly beautiful.

"What did I do?"

Rachel snaps her head around and offers Quinn a small smile. "You didn't do anything Quinn. I just got a little panicky at the speed of our relationship."

"Panicky? What do you mean?" Quinn asks her brow furrowed in confusion.

"We've been dating what 2 months and both of us are happy to talk about our 'future' and that future containing the two of us. Together"

Quinn smiles at Rachel's adorableness. "You panicked. The girl who plans every inch of her life, every inch of my life, panicked because I see you in my future?" Rachel nods, looking down her shoes, not quite wanting to meet Quinn's eyes. She suddenly feels fingers brushing under her chin, softly lifting her head up to meet her eyes.

"I see you in my future Rachel Berry. I love you and you love me. Right?" Rachel nods softly tears building up in her eyes. "Are you upset that we're..." She rolls her eyes "Still in the closet so to speak?" Rachel nods but before Quinn can talk she interrupts.

"I am upset, but I understand Quinn. I really do. I'm not ready to be out as well, I just wish I could use you as an excuse to tell Finn to back off" Quinn smiles and this and leans forward to brush her lips over Rachel's.

"I love you"

"Love you too"

May 15th 2010

Quinn and Rachel are currently making out in the choir room, leaning against the piano mindful of Quinn's 9 month pregnant stomach. Quinn pulls back from the kiss and smiles at the sight of her girlfriend. "We should stop" Rachel nods but leans in again for a kiss.

"I know. But if all I can do is kiss you I'm taking it as often as I can" she runs her hand up and down her girlfriends back and kisses her as deeply as she can. They are interrupted by a quiet knock on the door and they pull away from each other and see half of Glee club standing in the doorway.

"Oh my god" Kurt exclaims. This seems to break Finn out of his reverie and he comes storming forward to the two women.

"Rachel. You're fucking cheating on me?" He states, his face red from anger. The little diva steps forward and glares up at the man child.

"No. Cheating would imply that we are dating and I can tell you for sure that we are not dating and never have been" He grips her arm to drag her away from Quinn who rubs her hand against her girls back. "Finn let go off my arm" She states, getting a little scared right now.

"You've been leading me on you little whore" He pushes her away ready to start screaming at Quinn, however the diva loses her balance from the push, and falls and smacks her head on the piano stool knocking her out cold. Finn goes for Quinn his fist raised, however Puck is there first and knocks the giant to the floor as well. Quinn bends down the best she can with the bump to see if Rachel is OK, and Puck bends down and scoops the tiny girl into his arms. He begins to carry her out of the choir room and Quinn and the rest of Glee follow until a painful cry rips through the silence of the hallway. A second later, water covers the floor and the Glee club look on in disgust. Puck jumps into action straight away.

"Mike get Rachel" he passes the diva over to the dancer before tending to his baby mama. "God baby girl you have chosen the wrong time to come. We better get you to a hospital" he says to Quinn. She looks over at Rachel who is still out cold in Mike's arms.

"What about Rachel? I want her there. Both of you" Puck nods in understanding.

"She needs to get to the school nurse Quinn. Mike will bring her later when she wakes up. I'm sure you won't be done by then" She nods and then all look up when they see Mr Schue and Miss Pillsbury walking towards them. Mike starts to walk towards the nurse's office to get Rachel seen to as soon as possible.

"Guys what is going on?"

"Finn knocked Rachel unconscious and went for Quinn. Puck knocked him out and then she peed herself" Brittany states looking at Santana the whole time to see if she got it right.

"Where is Finn now?" Miss Pillsbury asks.

"In the choir room" she nods and walks in the general direction, flanked by Kurt and Matt who are making sure she is alright near him.

"Come on Quinn. I'll drive you to the hospital. Only Puck can come." Quinn cries when a contraction hits her.

"I want Rachel" She exclaims making Mr Schue look very confused.

"Long story Mr Schue" Puck says, leading his baby mama out the door. "Come on let's get going"

Quinn is now lying in the hospital bed with the baby girl in her arms. Puck is sat in the chair and is staring at Quinn and his baby with awe in his eyes. The door opens and Quinn's face erupts into a smile when she sees Rachel walking in being guided by Mike.

"Hey" she says all teary "I'm so sorry I missed it" Quinn smiles and motions for her girlfriend to come closer.

"It's OK baby. It wasn't your fault" Rachel smiles at the beautiful baby in Quinn's arms. "Puck said it looked like a gruesome version of Alien though" She smiles and begins to talk to the baby. "Hey baby, I want you to meet someone very special. This is Rachel. She's mommy's girl. Want to say hello?" As if on cue the baby coos making them all smile.

"How are you feeling Rach?" Puck asks from his position on the chair.

"Like I just got knocked unconscious by a giant" They all chuckle at this.

"What happened with him?"

Mike sighs "Miss Pillsbury called the cops. He attacked Rachel. She could barely walk here but was demanding she had to come see Quinn and the baby. She gave the nurse quite a speech" Quinn nods and smiles at her girl.

"What's her name?" Rachel asks hesitantly.

"Madeline Sofia Fabray" Rachel smiles at the beautiful name. "Puck can you hold her for me?" He nods and eagerly takes his daughter out of his baby mama's arms. Quinn then pulls Rachel down into her arms, mindful that they are both not at their best.

"I'm so proud of you" Rachel whispers to Quinn in the comfort of her arms.

"Thanks baby. I'm going to kill him for this you know that right?" Rachel nods knowing exactly what will happen to Finn now and she hopes that Quinn loves her enough to stop her plans.

"No you are not, because you have me, Madeline and Noah to think about now. I'm not going to press charges Quinn"

Quinn looks at the woman in her arms in shock. "What? Rae he rendered you unconscious" Rachel nods.

"He was angry Quinn. I can't ruin his life like that. I'm not pressing charges" Quinn sighs knowing she's fighting a losing battle.

"You are too nice" Rachel smiles and kisses her girlfriend softly.

"I know" Smile "So it's 8 weeks from today then?" Quinn laughs, and then laughs even harder when she sees Joe Berry coming through the door in his scrubs.

"Yes it is according to Doctor Berry Jnr. Let's see what Doctor Berry Snr has to say about that?" Joe grimaces knowing exactly what the two are talking about.

"I really don't want to know. How are you feeling Quinn?" She smiles.

"Like I just pushed a watermelon out of my va-jay-jay" Rachel smacks her lightly.

"Nice Quinn" Joe looks over at the baby in Puck's arms and almost melts.

"She is truly beautiful Quinn. Now baby girl how are you?" He says to Rachel who is looking very worse for wear. "Dad is watching over the ass at the station"

"Dad is a lawyer not a cop Daddy. Why is he there?"

"He has friends there, and that little twerp hurt our baby girl" He sighs "I'm going to kill him Rach" Quinn nods in agreement.

"I'm fine. I'm here. Stop being overprotective" She smiles at Quinn who holds her tighter to her. "I'm not pressing charges, so please tell Dad to let him out" Joe looks at his daughter and realises that she is sure, so nods. A knock on the door brings them all out of their conversation and they see the Glee club all trying to poke their heads in, led by Santana.

"Hey, can we come in?" Quinn looks up at Joe who sighs and nods.

"If you get tired kiddo, please tell them to leave" She nods. "Keep the noise to a minimal as well. I better get back to my rounds" he smiles at them before walking out of the room.

Santana immediately walks over to Puck who is holding baby Madeline, followed by Kurt who wants to see the baby. "Oh my god Puck, Quinn she is precious" Puck nods, still in awe over his baby girl. "She looks just like you Quinn" Puck runs a hand through the babies' hair and then she opens her eyes making them all coo over her.

"She does have my eyes though" The rest of the club take it in turns to go up and have a look at the baby and Rachel and Quinn take this time to hug tighter, Rachel even kissing Quinn's neck and whispering to her how proud she is of her. Kurt is the first to look over at the couple, he is still struggling to get his head round it, especially as they have both dated his step brother, however they do look fantastic together, and Rachel has been quieter in the last few months and Quinn has been less bitchy. Maybe they are perfect for each other. The rest of Glee Club look over and smile, and Artie whips out his camera to take a picture of the couple who are talking softly. At the flash they turn to look at him and smile.

Rachel and Puck are sat at Quinn's bed side talking softly, while the other woman sleeps. They are alerted to a sound behind them, and Rachel stands up quickly with Puck pushing in front of her as soon as he sees its Finn. He is ready to beat the crap into the man that hurt his fellow Jew, and was going to hurt his baby mama.

"What the fuck are you doing here man?" He steps forward and grabs Finn's shirt in his fist "I'll fucking kill you right now, if you don't get out of here" Finn looks terrified and looks pleadingly at Rachel who sighs and steps forward and pulls Puck away from Finn.

"Noah stop" She exclaims in a whisper "Please, its fine" She turns to the other boy who is looks at the bed where Quinn is sleeping. "Hello Finn"

"Hi" he mumbles "How's your head? I am so sorry Rachel. I can never apologise enough" She nods.

"You hurt me Finn. You proclaim to love me and then call me a whore and do this to me" She says pointing at the bump and cut on her head. "Why?"

"Truthfully I have no idea. I saw the two of you doing" he runs a hand in front of him not quite knowing how to say it "that, and I saw red. In my head, we were meant to be together forever. I know we haven't even dated, believe me, I just, I'm so sorry"

She nods and smiles at the tall boy. "I did like you Finn, but I've never loved you" She sighs and then points to the woman behind her asleep on the bed. "I do however love that woman over there with all my heart" He looks away not quite ready to hear this yet. "We've been together since February, and I really am happy. That should be enough. Don't you want me to be happy?" He nods.

"I do, I just want it to be with me"

She sighs in frustration and when Puck sees this, he steps in front of her again. "That's enough!" he shouts, making Rachel angry. She pushes him back with as much force as she can muster and points to the sleeping woman in the bed and whispers harshly to Puck.

"That woman over there has been in labour with your child today. Please shut the fuck up and let her sleep" Both men look at the small diva in shock. In all of the years they have known the diva, they have never heard her swear before. Both men look apologetic and both apologise. Rachel then turns to Finn and smiles softly at him again. "I'm sorry for whatever my dad did to you" Finn nods in agreement. He had met Elijah Berry before and despite being almost a foot shorter than him the man was terrifying.

"Will you ever be able to forgive me?" She nods and he smiles geekily at her.

"For hurting me yes. I'm on my way to forgiveness right now" Behind her Puck scoffs and she turns around and glares at him before turning back to Finn to talk to him some more. "I think the fact that if Puck wasn't there you would have hit Quinn in the stomach, whilst she was 9 months pregnant will be the hardest to forgive. You do realise she'll never forgive you?" He nods.

"I know. I know. I hate myself for it. I can try and transfer Rach if you want me to?" She shakes her head. She doesn't want it to come to that.

"No. Just stay away from us for a while" he nods in understanding.

"Thank you. I better get going." He walks out and Rachel turns around and collapses into Pucks arms in tears. He hugs her tightly, knowing that forgiving him was very hard for her but it was in her nature.

"I can't have his whole life ruined Noah. He really thought I loved him back and then he caught me and Quinn in that position" She sobs "I have to try and forgive him"

"I know Rach. I know. You do have an amazing heart Rachel Berry. I really wished I got a picture of you and Quinn though" A groan makes them pull them apart and Rachel smiles when she sees her girlfriend waking up.

"Rae?" Quinn groans out.

"Hey baby" She kneels down at the side of the bed, not before wiping her eyes from the tears. Quinn leans her hand out and wipes them away as well.

"Why are you crying Rae? What's up" She asks softly.

"I... Finn was here" Anger flashes over Quinn's face and she tries to sit up, but a hand from Rachel stops her. "No calm down Quinnie. Please. Please calm down" Quinn nods. "He was here to apologise. He's got a problem with anger and if he wants to be a part of our lives n the future he needs to address them" Quinn looks at the girl; the anger in her eyes has still not subsided.

"You let him in?" She asks angrily and Rachel nods, standing up from her position next to the bed and begins to apologise.

"I did. Please don't hate me" Quinn chuckles, letting go of the anger and holds out her hand which Rachel takes eagerly.

"Of course I don't hate you. Come here babe" she pulls her towards her and kisses her. "I will never be able to hate you. I love you. I don't want him near us though" Rachel nods.

"We'll give it time. I love you"

June 18th 2010

It has now been a month since Madeline was born and Quinn & Rachel are currently walking around the grocery store, and Rachel has baby Madeline strapped to her chest. Quinn was pushing a trolley, and for the first time since Quinn had Madeline, they decided to go out to a more public place. As they didn't want to hide who they were, they decided to come shopping outside of Lima, and here they were able to be themselves, and hold hands.

Quinn suddenly gasps and Rachel stops, worried about her girlfriend. Quinn is staring ahead and an elderly woman, who looks exactly like Quinn does however two generations older. The older woman comes walking towards her very quickly, amazed at seeing her granddaughter just walking around the store, especially holding the hand of this young woman who has a baby strapped to her chest. "Oh my god, Quinnie" Quinn steps forward slightly, but holds on tighter to Rachel's hand.

"Hello Nana" Rachel is in shock. She didn't know Quinn had any other family other than her parents and sister.

"Nana? Quinn are you alright?" Quinn nods, still staring at her grandmother.

"Look at you sweetheart. You are all grown up" The older lady states smiling brightly at her granddaughter. "I haven't seen you in forever. Every time I go round to your house, you are always out at Cheerleading practises" Quinn gives a sarcastic laugh at this and runs a hand through her hair. She knows that she should have called her grandmother, but she assumed her mother would have got there first.

"Nana, mom and dad kicked me out of the house 7 months ago"

Quinn's grandmother looks shocked. "What? Why would they kick you out?" Quinn points to the little girl in Rachel's arms. "She's yours?" Quinn nods. "I think we need to talk, can we go to the cafe" The three of them walk in the direction of the cafe and after ordering a drink for Quinn and Rachel they sit down and Quinn takes a deep breath. "You were kicked out because you got pregnant"

"Yes. They found out and dad kicked me out. Gave my 30 minutes to pack all of my things"

"And my daughter did nothing to stop you?" Quinn nods and watches as the usually kind woman gets angry.

"I will kill that woman when I get my hands on her. I can't believe she'd do that to her own flesh and blood" Quinn nods in agreement and grabs hold of Rachel's hand as tight as she can under the table. The other girl is currently making sure the baby strapped to her chest is okay.

"I'm over it now. I have a new family that loves me and my baby for who I am" Quinn's grandmother smiles at this news and watches Quinn's friend with her great granddaughter. "Nana, I need to tell you something before we delve deeper or you're just going to get confused or angry later on. I'm bisexual"

Quinn's grandmother is shocked, Quinn can tell that from her face, but she knows her grandmother probably wouldn't care less. "Oh... I'm not sure what the correct response to that would be sweetheart. I am happy for you. Are you seeing anyone?" she already thinks she knows the answer; the two women in front of her seem closer than just friends. Quinn flicks her hand in response, her thumb pointing at Rachel and her face housing her usual smirk. Rachel just looks anywhere other than at the older woman in front of her.

"We've been together for 5 months now. I know it's not long but I can see her in my future" Quinn smiles when her grandmother stares at Rachel and Madeline with a sweet smile on her face. She shakes her head to get out of her reverie.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart. How rude of me" She holds out her hand for Rachel to shake and the girl beams brightly, not quite expecting the politeness from the woman in front of her. She shakes the hand and smiles. "I'm Dianna Murphy. Quinn's grandmother" Rachel smiles and let's go of the hand.

"Rachel Berry. Nice to meet you ma'am"

Dianna laughs "Ma'am? Call me Dianna sweetheart. So where are you living Quinn then?" Quinn smiles and looks over at her girlfriend.

"With Rachel and her father's" Quinn can see her grandmother processing the dad's comment but smiles when the older woman decides not to ask in front of Rachel. The woman's ire comes back when she realises that Quinn's parents probably haven't reimbursed Rachel's father for their hospitality.

"Please tell me, that your father at least gave Rachel's fathers some money Quinn for looking after you?" Quinn shakes her head and looks down at her coffee cup.

"Even if he did, my father's wouldn't take it. Quinn is a great addition to our family. My dad's love her, possibly more than me some days" Quinn chuckles at this. It's a common statement in the Berry's household however Rachel knows that it's not true.

"I have never liked that idiot ever since Judy fell for him. I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this alone Quinn. You should have called me, I would have been there in a second" Quinn knows that this is the case now, however she was terrified to be rejected by another family member. "What's my great granddaughter's name?"

"Madeline Sofia Fabray" Quinn states "I would get her out of the carrier but it has taken four weeks to get her to settle down. I'm getting over my jealously of her only calming down when Rach is holding her, by sleeping, finally" Dianna laughs at this.

"She's only doing it so you can sleep baby"

"Nice theory. She is 1 months old. Here is a picture Nana" Quinn pulls on out of her purse for her grandmother. "I have hundreds already so you can have this one"

"Thank you sweetheart. She is beautiful" They all stand up from the seat and Quinn hugs her grandmother tightly. "If you need anything, anything at all, a babysitter, someone to talk to, please ring me sweetheart?" Quinn nods. "I want to be a part of Madeline's life, you hear me?" Quinn smiles and kisses her cheek.

"I do. I will call I promise"

"I'm going to go talk some sense into your mother as well" Quinn stops and shakes her head.

"You're welcome to talk some sense into her, but I'm never going back. She threw me out when I was 3 months pregnant. I can't have someone like that in my life" Dianna nods in agreement and hugs her granddaughter again.

August 1st 2010

Rachel is getting ready for her first date with Quinn. Madeline was now 2 ½ months old, and Quinn was ready to leave her with Elijah and Joe. They were taking her to visit Rachel's grandmother in the next town, leaving Quinn and Rachel the house for the night. "Hey beautiful, they're gone."

Rachel turns around and gasps at the sight of her girlfriend. She is stunning. She spent as often as she can exercising to get rid of her stomach, and now nearly three months later was just as slim as she was before she was pregnant with Madeline. "You look stunning" Quinn smiles and steps into the room staring at the beautiful sight that was her girlfriend. Rachel is strapped into a gorgeous red gown which covers her whole body, but leaves her cleavage on view. Quinn is in a short black dress which shows off her wonderful legs rather than her chest. They look perfect together.

"I could say the same about you. I love this dress on you" She leans forward and kisses Rachel lightly mindful of not ruining the dress right about now. "You are seriously looking gorgeous tonight angel" Rachel smiles and wraps her arms around her gorgeous girlfriend.

"Where are you taking me?"

Quinn smiles evilly. "Ahhh well you will just have to wait and see" She grabs hold of her hand and drags her down the stairs and out the front door to the new car that is sitting in the drive way. After meeting up with her grandmother in the grocery store last month, the older woman had decided she needed to take care of her granddaughter and great granddaughter as her daughter wasn't willing to do a thing.

When Quinn received the cheque from Dianna she nearly passed out at the number on there, it was enough for her to buy her own car, and it was enough for her to look after Madeline for the majority of her life. She was apparently supposed to receive the money when Dianna died, however as she needed it now Dianna wanted to see her enjoy it rather than not be around to see her enjoy it. She immediately wouldn't accept it, and it took 4 phone calls and 3 visits before Quinn realised that she better just take the money.

The first thing she did was buy a decent car, and in few weeks when she goes back to school, she'll hire someone to watch over Madeline. It was very lucky that Madeline was born just before school ended, and that over the last 3 months she had been able to enjoy her daughter and girlfriend without school getting in the way.

As they are driving she feels Rachel grab her hand and Quinn pulls her hand up to her mouth to kiss her knuckles. She wouldn't have been able to get this far if it wasn't for Rachel. Her grandmother absolutely adored the diva, and thought she was the best thing since sliced bread. She loved her for the way she loved granddaughter and great granddaughter.

Rachel notices that they have just left Lima and looks over at Quinn in shock. "We're going out of Lima?" Quinn nods.

"Not too far don't worry. Santana told me about this place that cost her a bomb but Britt absolutely loved. I wanna spoil my girl tonight" Rachel blushes and this and squeezes Quinn's hand tightly.

"Quinn you shouldn't have"

"I wanted to, so shut up and enjoy the night" She smiles before turning left into a parking lot and in front of a very gorgeous restaurant residing over the front of a river. "Here we are" Rachel looks around the best she can from the car and smiles.

"It's gorgeous Quinn"

"You haven't been inside yet"

Quinn gets out of her side of the car and walks around to Rachel's side and opens the door. Rachel takes Quinn's offered hand and gets out of the car and together they walk to the restaurant hand in hand. Once inside they are met by a very handsome young man who asks for their name.

"I have a reservation under Quinn Fabray" He smiles at the name and nods, leaning down and picking up another piece of paper as well as the other menu he gets off the side.

"Welcome Miss Fabray. Follow me and I'll take the two of you to your table" Once at the table he holds out the chair for Rachel and she sits down before holding the chair out for Quinn. He hands Quinn the bigger menu and then hands Rachel a much smaller one which has been written by hand. "Can I get the two of you a drink?" Rachel nods and just orders water and Quinn lemonade. Rachel looks at the menu in her hand and smiles seeing that it's all vegan meals.

"I called ahead. They made a menu for you tonight. My Fabray name might have gone me somewhere" Rachel smiles at this.

"This is amazing Quinn. Thank you. My dad's have complained for years about me being vegan and I've never once heard you complain"

"As long as you don't expect me to follow the same lifestyle, then it really doesn't bother me. How you can stay away from ice cream though, baffles me" Rachel chuckles at this knowing how much her girl loves ice cream.

"This place is amazing" Rachel says looking around. Quinn nods, and leans across the table to hold the girls hand in her own.

"I love you Rach" Quinn says sincerely. Rachel stares at her with a smile before nodding and saying those three words back to Quinn.

Quinn & Rachel crush against the door to the Berry household, lips and tongues locked passionately. Quinn is running a hand up and down Rachel's back trying to pull her closer than she could possibly be. They both know where this night is going to end, and now they are just enjoying being with each other.

Quinn pulls back and kisses Rachel lightly realising that they are still outside in Rachel's neighbourhood, she opens the door and then pushes the girl back against the door and attacks her lips again. Rachel pulls back and smiles at her. "I love you Quinn. So damn much. I can't believe we've been together 6 months" Quinn nods and nuzzles Rachel's neck with her nose.

"I know, it does feel like you've been mine longer" Quinn says possessively making Rachel melt.

"Yours?" Nod "You have no idea how much I like that. Kiss me woman" Quinn has not denied Rachel yet, especially when it comes to kisses, so leans forward and makes the woman swoon again.

Quinn wakes up the next morning, after that amazing night and groans when she sees the clock. It is only 10:00am meaning they've only been asleep for 5 hours. Rachel stirs at the movement beside her and her eyelids flutter open and smiles at the face of her girlfriend.

"Mmm. I will never get tired of waking up to your face"

Quinn smiles brightly "Good, cause it's gonna happen forever"

"Well I'm fine with that" She leans forward and kisses her deeply before realising she will have morning breath "Sorry morning breath" Quinn chuckles and leans in for another kiss.

"To be honest, I really don't care" she sighs. "We've got 3 more hours till your parents are due home with Maddie. A few more rounds alright with you?" Rachel nods eagerly.

"We have 3 months to make up for so hell yeah" Quinn chuckles and leans back over the girl and kisses her deeply and sensuously.

September 8th 2010

Quinn walks over to her girlfriend after the lunch period, dressed to the nines in her cheerio's outfit. She decided not to tell Rachel that she had decided to re-join the cheerio's as she knew that the girl may not be too happy. They hadn't been together or even talked when Quinn was a cheerio but now she was back on the team, she hoped Rachel would be okay with it.

Rachel looks up when she sees the flash of red, white & black and closes her eyes and expects to be covered in ice cold slush any minute, however it doesn't come. She opens her eyes and sees the person in the Cheerio's outfit, is none other than her girlfriend, Quinn Fabray.

"What are you wearing that for?" she exclaims loudly.

Quinn looks around and sees they are getting some weird looks from the rest of the people in the hall, she grabs Rachel's hand and drags her in the direction of the nearest bathroom. Seeing some freshman cheerio's in there, she orders them out, and they run out with a tail between their legs.

"Rae..."

"Who are you and what have you done with my girlfriend" Rachel says angrily.

"What do you mean?"

"The woman I love would not have just ordered those freshmen out of here like they were nothing." She exclaims, her arms flapping widely. "The woman I love would not be wearing this outfit again" She closes her eyes "Just slushy me and get over it"

Rachel has tears running down her face and Quinn stares at her in shock. She expected Rachel to be angry, but to cry over her being on the Cheerleading Squad again, is not something she expected. Stepping forward she goes to embrace the girl, but Rachel flinches and Quinn knows something is seriously wrong.

Stepping back lifts the cheerio outfit over her head, and begins to fish through her bag looking for the clothes she donned before she was given the outfit back. She finds her jeans and slips them on, and then her tight fitting top, and looks up to see Rachel looking at her with something undecipherable in her eyes. "There" She exclaims. "You mean more to me than the fucking Cheerio's. If you don't want me to be one, I'll walk back down there and tell Sylvester that I can't do it" Rachel sighs knowing that Quinn obviously wants this badly.

"Why Quinn? Why do you want to be one so bad?" Quinn sighs, knowing the only answer she has won't be good enough for the woman in front of her.

"I like being popular okay. Being a Cheerio gives me something to do. I love it, just as much as I love Glee. I worked my ass off this morning to convince Sylvester that I was good enough to get back on the team" She smiles at her. "Do you know what she said at the end of it all? That she was proud of me for keeping my 'devil spawn'"

Rachel can't help but chuckle at this. "Promise me it doesn't mean you'll go back to the old Quinn Fabray" Quinn shakes her head and holds her arms out for her girl to walk into. She smiles when Rachel does and holds her tightly to her chest.

"I promise, I swear on Madeline's life that I'll never be that girl again" Rachel nods at this. "You are the most important thing to me, you and Maddie are my world and if it means giving up Cheerio's, I'll do it any second of any day. I" she kisses her girl deeply. "Love" kiss "You" she finishes off with a deep kiss before pulling back.

"I love you too. That outfit is pretty hot on you. I get to stare at your body all day"

"That's the one thing I'm worried about, I've still got a belly from Maddie, and this top hides it but..." Rachel kisses the girl to stop her train of thought.

"Shh, you have the most gorgeous stomach in the world. There is nothing wrong with it and no one will ever be able to tell you have a child"

"You ready for me to go and tell Santana that I'm back on the squad" Rachel groans at this.

"Oh god, she's going to kill you"

"I'll just tell her she's not allowed to see Maddie if she hurts me. I love you Rach" She kisses her softly.

"Love you back. So much" They both walk out of the bathroom together, Quinn in search of Santana.

Santana Lopez to Quinn Fabray September 8th at 18:00pm
I HATE YOU QUINN FABRAY. Thanks for stabbing me in the back.

Quinn Fabray to Santana Lopez September 8th at 18:34pm
Oh grow up San. Your still captain. It's not like I've taken that away from you. Yet :D

Santana Lopez to Quinn Fabray September 8th at 17:12pm
Fuck off.
-Brittany stop arguing please.

September 15th 2010

Rachel was late to Glee due to a detention that she had found herself in for sending a Philippine transfer student called Sunshine to a crack house. Quinn pulls a chair out of the usual formation and places it in front of the rest of the group who look at her in confusion.

"We need to make Rach feel more at home this year guys"

Some of the members scoff at Quinn now being the 'protective' girlfriend, knowing that if she wasn't getting any from Rachel she'd be the one here bullying her as well.

Mercedes steps forward. "She sent that girl to a crack house"

Quinn shakes her head. "No. She sent her to an abandoned building down the street from her house. Her father Joe had been complaining about it as it looks awful. She had no idea there were crack heads there. I'm not condoning it, god I'm not condoning what that idiot did, but she didn't mean it"

"Quinn..." Kurt begins.

"No" Quinn cuts him off. "Without her, Glee would be nothing. Give her a chance please. You will find if you don't cut her off before she speaks, that you would find her suggestions are for the team and the team only"

Mercedes scoffs. "Yeah right"

Quinn growls in frustration. "For example, that song you sung on Tuesday. She was only going to say that Tina's voice would suit it more than Mercedes' and you jumped on her guys" Some of them look embarrassed, most specifically the two in question. "She came home crying guys and guess what, Mr Schue realised yesterday that yes, Tina would be better off singing it and gave you Rachel's solo, Mercedes instead" She sighs. "I love that girl with my whole heart, I'm fucking pissed off with her for doing something stupid like that, but the next one of you that intentionally hurts her, will get even worse than I have threatened Karofsky with. Believe me"

"She's a diva Quinn"

Quinn laughs out loud. "And you're not?" She asks Mercedes who looks down at her hands. "Yes she is a diva. I call it her all the time. She knows she is one. That being said, she knows more about musical arrangements than all of us put together, including Mr Schue. We're all outcasts and you make her feel awful, it's really not fair." She turns to the Cheerio's and Puck at the back of the room. "Puck, San, Britt, you have spent the most time with her over the summer. She is truly amazing, kind, genuine. Am I not right?"

Puck nods. "The hot Jew is awesome. My kid loves her. I'm behind Quinn. You hurt Rach, you hurt me" They are all shut up when they hear Rachel coming down the hall talking a mile a minute to Mr Schue.

"You said something to them" Rachel accuses Quinn when they get home. Quinn is currently holding 4 month Madeline holding her tightly as she has missed her daughter so much in the last 8 hours.

"What?" Quinn asks.

"I saw them all flinch when Kurt made one of his remarks" Quinn looks down at Madeline making sure not to meet Rachel's eyes. "When I laughed you gave him this look as if to say you are so lucky."

Quinn knows she can't lie anymore. "Yes I said something. They were so angry over the Sunshine situation, which I'm very angry over as well" Rachel blushes. "I told them why you did it and said if any of them mess with you, then they will have to deal with me. You are my world and I can't stand to see you as upset as you were on Tuesday night"

Madeline begins to cry and Quinn rocks her back and forward. Rachel comes over and embraces the women in her life and rocks along with them.

October 25th 2010

'You look stunning today. X'

'I'm trying to concentrate Q. '

'I can't coz ur sat there looking so damn edible right now. x'

'Quinn! Not in school. x'

'Why not? I know you have always fantasised about it ;-)'

'Have not! Shut up. x'

'I wanna come out. x'

"What?" Rachel exclaims from her seat at the front of the class making everyone look over at her in confusion.

"Are you okay Miss Berry?" The teacher asks.

"Fine. I'm sorry sir" The teacher smiles kindly at Rachel and goes back to teaching the class.

'Sorry baby. x'

'Why now? I'm not ready Quinn x'

'All of Glee knows about us. Why not the rest of the school? I wanna hug you without getting weird looks. x'

'We'd still get weird looks princess. No. x'

'Don't you love me? x'

'Don't you dare Fabray. '

'You're scared? x'

'Of course I'm scared. My whole life I've seen how my fathers are treated by this cow town and the people. x'

'I'll protect you bb. x '

'From what? I'm used to slushies and words but... I can't handle you being upset or even worse Madeline. x'

'Okay. xxx'

'Actually not okay. We're going to have to come out at some point. It's not fair on either of us. x'

'I can't believe we're talking about this through text. Quinn please stop. x '

'Do you love me? '

'You know I do. xx'

'Why not then bb? Please xxx'

'Ugh. You can do it. No coming to me if the words and the slushies hurt you. Which is what will happen Quinn. I'm the loser of the school. '

'You're not a loser. You're my angel. x'

'Sweet talker :) x'

'I love you Berry. Nothing will ever change that. OK? x'

'Ly2. x'

'Text speak?'

'You rub off on me. '

'I'd rather be rubbing on you right now ;-) x'

'I hate you Fabray. x'

'Nah you don't. Storage closet later?'

'See you there. x '

November 1st 2010

"She loves you" Kurt says from his position beside Rachel on the piano bench. Rachel had been down all day, Quinn was not doing Cheerio's practise and Rachel had stayed behind after Glee club to work on her voice.

"I do know. She's done so much for me. Coming out with someone like me can't have been easy" She says playing a few notes on the piano. Kurt lays his hand on her back and runs it up and down in a soothing gesture.

"You are worth it Berry" She shakes her head. "You are and we can all see it now. Look at what you've done for Quinn. You made her normal. She's a mother now and a girlfriend but has still managed to hold down Cheerio's and is still HBIC" Rachel nods her head still not looking anywhere but her hands.

"I know"

"You have helped her Rach. She wouldn't have Maddie without you and your dads"

"I just hate that it took her to make you guys see that I'm nice and just misunderstood"

"We knew anyway" She shakes her head and her tips her head up with his fingers under her chin. "Rach it may have just taken us a little longer but you are awesome Rachel Berry"

"Thank you"

"I heard you are babysitting tonight?" Rachel nods. "Apparently it caused an argument"

"She asked me like I was her babysitter and not..." She trails off. "It makes me think..."

Kurt cuts her off quickly. "You are that child's mother just as much as Quinn. Believe it"

"What if she doesn't come to New York Kurt? I'll lose them both" She says sadly looking back down at her hands. Kurt's heart breaks at this, knowing how much the diva is besotted with Quinn.

"Why won't she come?"

"She's looking at NYU, Harvard and UCLA" He nods. "Only one of them is in New York. What if she doesn't get in? I can't lose my dream; I've only applied to colleges in New York. I can't lose her or Madeline either. They're my family"

"I'm sure she thinks the same Rach" He hugs her to him. "Come here diva"

December 1st 2010

Finn walks into the choir room and stops when he sees a depressed looking Rachel Berry looking at the floor. He looks around for Quinn who always seems to be ready to block him from going near Rachel, but she is nowhere to be found.

When she doesn't realise he's there, he sits down next to her and she finally lifts her head up, the look in his eyes making him feel sad.

"Are you alright?" She opens her mouth to respond but nothing comes out, so she coughs and tries again.

"Uh... yes"

"You look angry Rach. Tell me. Is it Quinn?" He asks cautiously

"We had an argument"

"Rach come on it's just an argument" He lays a hand on her shoulder carefully in case she flips.

"We've been arguing too much lately"

"Relationships need arguments. What did she do to piss you off?" She looks up at him trying to see if she can trust him or not. She's the only one of the Glee club who has tried with Finn, Quinn is not really happy that Rachel is friends with the giant, but Rachel of course with her big heart, couldn't let him be alone. She shakes her head. "Talk to me. Look I'm not the biggest 'FaBerry' fan I'm here to talk to. I went out with her as well" She sighs and nods her head, turning towards him to tell him what's wrong.

"She's too controlling" She sighs and begins to imitate her girlfriend "Rachel don't wear that today, Rachel come here babe, Rachel don't do that. I am tired of it" Finn nods in understanding.

"Can I give you my verdict?" She nods "Promise you won't shout?" nod. "She's protecting you Rach. Since you got together it's not been easy" She looks up at him and smiles slightly, she really didn't expect to get relationship advice from Finn Hudson of all people.

"You can say that again"

"If you do particular things, like wear a bad sweater" She glares at him "No glaring. It's going to make it worse for you and Quinn wants to protect you" She sighs knowing that something in what he is saying is the truth.

"She should ask me not tell me..." she trails off when she sees her girlfriend standing in the doorway.

"Finn is right Rach" Finn looks up and nods, before standing up to walk out. He squeezes Rachel's shoulder before walking out the door. Quinn takes a seat he just vacated and turns to look at Rachel. "These pig headed bullies have aimed all their assaults at you and if it wasn't for me, Puck & Santana they would be worse" Rachel nods. "All I want is for you to be happy and if that means saying don't do this because it'll bring unnecessary attention, all I wanna do is protect you Rach" She sighs knowing she's saying it all wrong. "I love you Rachel Berry, next time I promise I'll ask" Rachel sighs and stands up, Quinn grabs her hand to stop her from walking out, but Rachel shakes her head and sits down on her lap, wrapping her arms around her neck.

"Quinn, bullies don't bother me. If it means I get to be your girl, I really don't care. I Just love you" she kisses her softly and quickly. "Finn did well. He just protected us princess"

Quinn nods. "I still hate him though ,but he did do well" She smiles and kisses the girl again, making sure to show her how much she loves in that kiss.

December 13th 2010

The new boy Sam had just transferred to McKinley High and of course the first person that met his eye was the gorgeous hazel eyed blond with a sweet personality but she was impossible to talk to as she was always around Rachel Berry.

He is currently sitting in the locker room, when Finn walks in and sits down beside him.

"So... what's up with that Quinn chick?" Sam asks and Finn turns to look at him in shock.

"What do you mean?"

"She's hot. Is she seeing anyone?" Finn's mouth drops open, he couldn't believe this boy in front of him had not heard any of the stories about Quinn or Rachel yet. Did he really not pay any attention?

"Seriously?" He asks "Have you not paid any attention to any of the gossip around the school in the last few weeks?"

"Uh no why?" The blonde haired boy asks with a smile however is smile is wiped with Finn's next statement.

"She's seeing someone"

"Who?"

Finn looks at him in shock, wondering if he should be the one to tell this boy in front of him. He has only just got into the good books with Rachel and was still trying to get into Quinn's good books. Deciding that Sam will go and ask someone else if he doesn't tell him he sighs. "Rachel Berry"

"What about her?" Finn looks at the boy in front of him, wondering how he could possibly be stupider than himself.

"Quinn & Rachel are together" The blonde boys mouth opens in shock. "They have been together for almost a year now Sam. There is no breaking them up don't worry. I tried and ruined all of the friendships I have at this school"

"What?" He exclaims "Quinn is gay? With that little diva thing?"

Finn's hand curls into a fist, but he breathes trying to get rid of the anger. "Call her a thing again and you'll find yourself covered in slushies for the rest of your time here"

"She doesn't seem like the type of be gay. Are you sure?"

Finn laughs. "Yes I'm sure. They came out a few weeks ago, just after you came" Sam looks defeated.

"So I don't have a chance?"

Puck walks into the room and laughs, he heard the majority of the conversation and decides to make his presence known now. "No chance what so-ever lady lips"

Sam looks at the Mohawked boy in front of him and remembers some gossip he has heard. "I heard you and Quinn were together at one point"

Puck shakes his head. "We never dated. We had a one night stand which resulted in a child though" Sam looks even more shocked than earlier.

"Did you give it up for adoption?" Puck shakes his head "How do you do it with school and everything? You're not with her?"

"Quinn's grandmother gave her enough money to hire a nanny. She looks after Madeline whilst we're at school. No we're not together, but I see Maddie as often as I want"

"Wow" Sam says "Congratulations then man" Puck nods in thanks.

"Just stay away from me baby mama. After Rachel has gauged your eyeballs out for looking at her girl, I'll beat the shit into you" Puck and Finn walk out, leaving Sam to ponder in his thoughts. He was the quarterback, he was supposed to be dating the head cheerleader and to find out she was dating the Glee geek just baffled him.

December 15th 2010

Quinn is stood at Rachel's locker waiting for the diva to come out of class. She smiles when she sees her girl walking towards them talking animatedly with Brittany, but her smile fades when she sees Karofsky covering Rachel in a grape slushy before she can get there in time. She runs towards her girl and notices Santana ready to pounce. Quinn pushes Karofsky against the lockers until Santana is there, and then leaves to go clean up Rachel.

"Come on baby"

They walk towards the bathroom hand in hand, Quinn not bothering that her hand now has green slush all over it. When they get to the loos, Rachel pulls away and begins her daily routine. Quinn just watches on, not quite believing that she ever caused this much harm to the girl in front of her.

"Hey could you help me wash my hair?" Rachel asks.

She smiles and gets Rachel to sit on the seat that always seems to be strangely in the bathrooms and then leans her head back and begins to wash all of the slushy out of her gorgeous brown locks. "I'm so sorry Rae"

Rachel looks up and looks confused. "Why?"

"For doing this to you before, I never realised that it... I will personally torture anyone from now on who ever even thinks about doing this" Rachel shakes her head and pulls away from Quinn.

"No you won't. Leave it to Santana if you must. You are not the type to..."

"No one hurts my girl and gets away with it Rach"

"Be that as it may Quinn" Rachel sighs, cleaning her hair the best she can. "I don't want you to torture anyone. You are supposed to be showing me that you have changed"

"I have changed"

"I know you have baby" Quinn hugs Rachel tightly. "Believe me I know, but going around hurting people, is not really something I can sit back and watch. I love you I really do, so please don't hurt people for me. Please" Quinn nods not wanting to do anything to upset her girlfriend.

"Okay, I won't. Can Santana?" Rachel nods with a little chuckle.

"Only if I don't know anything about it" Kiss "I do love you Quinn and I know you are not the same person who used to slushy me"

"I love you too sweetheart. More than I can ever tell you" She hugs her tighter before pulling back to give her a deep kiss making them both smile.

21st December 2010

Puck is pushing the pram with little Madeline all bundled up snugly inside, and Quinn is walking beside him, holding onto his arm to try and get some of his body warmth. Puck smiles at the moment and sighs, causing Quinn to look up at him in question.

"I still can't believe that I'm a father, especially to someone as amazing and sweet as Maddie" She smiles up at him. "Thank you for keeping her Quinn. Thank you for letting me be a part of her life" she looks up at the boy that has suddenly become a man in her eyes and smiles. She leans forward and puts her cheek against his arm.

"Thank you for being here Puck. It feels strange to say it, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without you" She smiles "And Rach of course. If you stay out of juvie or even jail, then you'll always be a part of our little girl's life"

"I love her so much baby mama"

"I know. She loves you too Puckerman" A woman walks by and Puck winks at her in his usual way, and the woman stops almost and smiles back, ready to begin flirting but Quinn drags him forward. "I can't believe the audacity of that woman. She doesn't know that I'm gay, or that I'm not your girlfriend" He chuckles.

"I winked at her first" She glares at him for that comment.

"I know but still..." she then looks to all of the women around her waving at Puck in a familiar way. "Please don't tell me you use Maddie to pick up women" He nods happily.

"Hell yes I do. They love the dad routine" She scoffs and pulls away from him.

"You annoy me sometimes Noah"

"Just sometimes?" Quinn laughs and looks down at her daughter, who is staring at her parents with amazement in her eyes. "She is so cute. I know all babies are cute but... I'm going to have to beat blokes away from her for the rest of her life" Quinn chuckles at this.

"I do love you, you know Noah" He nods.

"Love you too baby mama"

23rd December 2010

Quinn and Rachel are sat at the piano in the Berry household, both messing around. For the last few months Quinn has been teaching Rachel the piano, the one instrument that she has never really been able to master. It has taken a while but Rachel is now a pretty good pianist.

"Do you want to duet?" Quinn asks softly.

"I thought you'd never ask" Rachel begins to play the tune to White Christmas and Quinn smiles taking on the first few lines.

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know. Where treetops glisten, and children listen, to hear sleigh bells in the snow"

Rachel comes in with the next verse. "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, with every Christmas card I write. May your days be merry and bright, and may all you Christmases be white"

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" Quinn sings.

"With every Christmas card I write"

"May all your days be merry and bright"

They both come in for the last line "And may all your Christmases be white" They turn around and smile at the sight of a sleeping Elijah Berry holding a sleeping Madeline. Quinn turns to Rachel and kisses her deeply, thanking her silently for bringing her this wonderful family.

January 15th 2010

Quinn walks into school in her Cheerio's uniform, her hair tied back in her signature pony tail however the perfection is ruined by the bags under her eyes and the way she looks like she is about ready to pass out. Puck walks into step with her through the halls and she smiles at her baby daddy.

"Hey baby mama. You look rough" She glares at him for this and opens her locker once they get to it. "Maddie keeping you up?" He asks and she smiles hearing the joy in his voice when he talks about his baby girl.

"Maddie slept through. So did Eli". Puck looks confused. "Me and Joe had to cope with her" She admits slamming her door shut making Puck jump.

"Who?" He asks raising his eyebrow.

"Berry" She spits out and he has to laugh. Quinn loved that woman with everything she had, but sometimes she still managed to piss her off to high heaven.

"You mean your girlfriend?" He asks still leaning against the locker.

"Can I dump her now?" Quinn asks looking up at him, her brow furrowed in concentration. "I'm sure I can get over my feelings for her" She says to herself more than anyone.

"Quinn you are rambling. What happened?" He asks genuinely concerned. Rachel made Quinn happy and his daughter happy and that's all he cared about.

"She's sick and I don't mean a cold. I mean Exorcist vomiting and she is fucking hell to deal with. If you thought she was a diva before, then wait till she gets ill" Puck laughs and then cowers away when she sends one of her death glares towards him.

"You are adorable when you haven't slept" She continues to glare at him. "You do know this is the love of your life you are talking about?"

Quinn groans and nods running a hand through her blonde locks. "I'm the worst girlfriend in the world." She admits and he nods in agreement. "I just haven't slept and I really was fanaticising about murdering her last night Noah. That's not normal" She exclaims.

"Why don't you go do to the nurse's office and try and take a nap?"

She smiles at his concern. "I might just do that"

Quinn walks through her home and smiles at the sight of Rachel sleeping on the couch, her hand bent off the end, and being held in the fingers of their baby girl. Rachel awakes as soon as there is noise in the house, and smiles when she sees it's just Quinn.

"Hey" She says softly. Quinn sits at the end of the couch and sees that Rachel must be feeling better and lifts her feet into her lap and begins to give her a massage. "I want to apologise for last night. I'm horrible when I'm sick" Quinn scoffs and Rachel kicks the leg under her foot lightly. "It's very rare that I'm ever sick you'll be glad to know"

"It's fine baby. Are you feeling better?" Rachel nods with a smile.

"I still can't look at food without needing to go to the bathroom, but I'm better" She sighs. "Puck told me about your talk"

Quinn huffs in frustration. Of course she can't trust him. "I'll kill him. I don't mean it" she says to Rachel who raises her eyebrow. "Okay I meant it but just when you are ill. You are pretty hard to deal with" Rachel chuckles and nods.

"I'm sorry. I'm just not good when I'm being sick. Like at all. It makes me angry and then I turn into an even bigger diva"

"Shhh honey. Don't worry about it" Quinn says massaging Rachel's feet trying to calm her girlfriend down and trying to become a brilliant girlfriend again.

January 18th 2010

Santana is currently sat in the Berry living room playing with 10 month old Madeline. The only person in the world that gets to see the sappy side of Santana Lopez other than Brittany was Madeline who absolutely loved her god mother.

Quinn sits down in the chair and smiles at the sight of her best friend and daughter. Santana lifts up the little girl into the air, and Madeline begins to squeal with happiness making Santana's heart soar. Santana brings her back down to her chest, and snuggles her goddaughter tightly.

"Q?" Santana asks softly, so softly, Quinn is not even sure Santana has talked. The look in her eye however tells her she is waiting for a response.

"Yeah"

"Can I..." She stumbles over her words. Taking a deep breath she starts again. "My mother asked to meet Madeline." Quinn smiles at this. "Apparently I talk about her a little too much." She sighs. "Can I take her this weekend, of course with you or Berry as well, to meet my family? She's my god daughter right?" She asks and Quinn nods and sneaks off the couch onto the floor to sit next to Santana.

"San look at me. What did I tell you when I asked you to be her godmother?"

"I don't know"

"I asked you because you would protect my baby with everything in you and you have proved that over the last 10 months." She smiles and wraps her arm around Santana's back. "San you don't have to be scared about asking to take Madeline somewhere. You are very welcome to take her this weekend if you want her to meet your family San. I trust you, more importantly, Rach trusts you" Santana laughs at this knowing what Quinn means. Rachel is very protective over Madeline, and wouldn't even let Puck near her when he had a drink the other weekend.

"Are you sure?" Santana asks with a smile on her face looking at the baby in her arms.

"Of course I'm sure. When do you want to take her?"

"This Saturday" She explains. "Just for the day, it's not fair to expose her to my crazy family any longer."

Madeline makes a noise and opens her arms to Quinn who picks up her baby girl to hold her knowing that she'll probably need feeding in a minute. "What do you say to that then baby? You get to spend all of Saturday with your Auntie San." Madeline gleefully claps her hands together like she knows what her mother has just said to her, making both of the teenagers in the room laugh.

"Thanks Quinn. This all means a lot to me."

January 21st 2011

Santana walks through the door to her home, Madeline cradled in her arms carefully, scared of anything hurting her god daughter. A squeal pierces through the room, and Santana's mother is in the room and wrapping her arms around her daughter and the adorable blonde baby girl.

"Is this baby Madeline. Oh Santana she is delightful."

Santana smiles and smooths the curls down over Madeline's head. "I think Quinn will love me forever for taking her off her hands today. She's being a bit fussy."

Maria Lopez takes the girl out of Santana's arms and kisses her cheek in affection. The girl giggles and curls into the older woman's embrace. "See. She's not fussy with us, are you mija?"

February 14th 2011

Quinn smiles at the site of her beautiful girlfriend sleeping, after much convincing on their part, they finally were allowed to share a room, with the only rule that nothing was allowed to happen whilst they were in the house. They had adhered to that rule pretty much, despite a few slip ups, every now and then. What could she say, her girl was irresistible.

Today was Valentine's Day and this morning at 7.30am, she went downstairs and managed to convince Joe to let her make some coffee for the diva. If you thought Rachel was hyper normally, wait till you saw her with coffee in her. She really was the energizer bunny then.

Putting the cup down on the side, she leans over her girl and kisses her on the lips softly, knowing it'll be enough to bring her girl back to the living. Rachel only uses her elliptical every other day now, so on days like this she got to sleep in till 8am just ready in time for school.

Rachel opens her eyes, and smiles into the kiss that is being placed on her mouth. Wrapping her arms around Quinn she pulls her down and gives her a proper kiss, not really caring too much about morning breath. "Good morning beautiful"

Rachel groans. "Ugh what time is it?". Quinn looks over to the clock and sees it's just gone past 8, Rachel's gaze follows her and so she doesn't repeat it.

"I have something for you"

Rachel's eyes brighten, one of the things Rachel loves more than Quinn is presents and if her girl had got her something, she wanted to see it now. Quinn leans on her right arm, and picks up the coffee cup of the nightstand and dangles it in front of Rachel's face. Rachel sits up when she smells what's in there.

"Coffee?" The girl squeals "Oh my god I really do love you" She takes the cup and inhales the scent. "How did you get it past my dad's?"

"They let me make it for you as a treat. If you get too hyper, I'll just kiss you to shut you up" Rachel smiles at that statement and takes a sip of the coffee.

"God this is amazing. Quinnie?" Rachel asks and Quinn smile at the nickname. From her mother she loathed it, however from Rachel, she finds herself falling just a little bit more in love every time.

"Hmmm"

"Your present is in my third draw" Quinn jumps off the bed, and looks through the bed side table to find a gift wrapped present. It looks breakable so she's careful with it, however it only takes her 2 seconds to get the wrapping off.

"Oh my god"

In the package was two framed photographs, the first one was a framed picture of Rachel & Madeline. Maddie was kissing Rachel's cheek whilst the woman had her arms wrapped tightly around her daughter and was smiling at the camera. It was beautifully done and Quinn couldn't help but smile at the picture.

The second picture is Noah sat in the middle of the auditorium stage, with Madeline sat on his lap. To his right is Rachel, and to his left is Santana. Brittany is sat behind him on her knees smiling goofily at the camera. The rest of Glee Club even Finn & Sam are dotted around behind, to create a beautiful shot of the Glee family. Even Mr Schue was in the shot, so she's not sure who took the picture for her.

"We took that the other week when you were home sick with flu. I went to pick up Maddie from child care and brought her back to the school" Quinn smiles at the pictures before leaning forward to peck her girlfriend.

"They are gorgeous. Thank you so much. Happy Valentine's Day love" Rachel kisses her girlfriend again before sitting back and staring at her girlfriend.

"Now where's mine?"

Quinn chuckles "Wasn't the coffee enough?" Rachel glares at her with this statement. "Oh okay. Here I got you this. Now before you open it. I need you to know some things"

"Baby?"

"I know we're just 17, and I know to be in a serious relationship at this age is just ridiculous in some people's eyes. There is no doubt however in my mind that we'll end up together so this is my promise to you that I will always love you"

Rachel rips off the wrapping when Quinn finally hands it to her and sees a ring box. Opening the box she sees a beautiful white gold ring with a tiny diamond in the centre. Quinn didn't want to go into her Grandmother's money too much as she knew Rachel would kill her for it but it cost a small fortune for a 17 year old.

"Oh my god"

"It's a promise ring. It's for your right hand" She picks up Rachel's right hand and places it on her finger next to her pinkie, smiling when she sees how well it fits. Kissing it she smiles up at her girlfriend. "It's to show you my intentions and if you ever feel down, I want you to look at this and know how much you are loved"

Tears begin to fall down Rachel's face. "This is the most beautiful present. I've ever received" She kisses her deeply. "I love it, I love you and I promise you, I always will" Kiss. "Thank you"

Quinn picks up the empty cup and places it on the night stand, and then kisses her girlfriend with every she has, showing her how much she does mean to her.

The day after, Santana walks up to the happy couple who have their hands linked and Rachel is talking animatedly to Quinn. "Hey. What did you get her in the end Q?" Rachel smiles and holds out her right hand showing Santana the ring. "You proposed? Wait... it's on the wrong hand, I'm confused. Should I be congratulating you and telling you, you are stupid?" Quinn shakes her head.

"It's a promise ring San. We're too young for a proposal. But I love her so..." She trails off a little bit embarrassed.

"God you two sicken me" She walks off making Quinn & Rachel chuckle, Brittany comes up to them and squeals when she sees the ring, and Rachel spends the next hour of gym trying to explain the ring.

February 29th 2011

Quinn is sat in the choir room waiting for Rachel to come and meet her. Mr Schuester walks in and smiles at Quinn. "How are you coping Quinn? With school and Madeline?" She nods and smiles.

"It's tough and without the Berry's and my grandmother I would have not been able to do it. It's worth it though, she is seriously amazing" He smiles and nods at her.

"I'm very proud of you Quinn. Especially as you and Rachel came out last year as well. How are you dealing with that as well?" She scoffs when she realises he is asking how he deals with the diva.

"Rae is worth every minute of it. Mr Schuester, I know the two of you don't see eye to eye, but she is amazing and you really should appreciate her a lot more" He looks away in embarrassment and then turns around to defend himself but she stops him. "If it wasn't for myself, she would have transferred over to Carmel High" He shakes his head.

"I don't think she would have gone that far"

"I found the transfer papers Mr Schuester" He looks shocked "She can be blunt, but she is never harsh. She only wants to help people, she's not delusional, she knows she's the best singer in the group, and we all know that" He nods. "Without her we'd be nothing and the way you treat her and talk to her..."

"I didn't realise"

"I know and that's why you haven't had the Berry's in here shouting at you. She probably knows more about music than you do. She is someone to listen to and learn from. If you do, we will win Regional's" Quinn is stopped when she hears the door opening and in walks her girlfriend. She smiles at Mr Schuester and walks out with her girlfriend.

March 5th 2011

Does San really think she's not obvious?xxx

I have no idea but I think we're one step away from her punching Artie. x

Should we do something?

It's Santana. x

Of course. What she's doing to Britt though is so unfair? x

Poor Sam really doesn't know he's just being used does he? x

It's the same with Artie though. I could have smacked him for the way he was treating Britt at my party last month

Okay... we're going off point here. San & Britt, intervention? x

Santana is too stubborn. She will beat us before realizing the truth. xx

She wouldn't dare touch us Rach. Look at her. It breaks my heart to see her like that. Britt has no idea how Santana truly feels does she? xx

No. I think Artie has nailed it into her that San just used her for sex. She loves her it's so obvious. x

I know. Do we leave it, or push them together? x

I think all we really can do right now is watch from the sidelines and hope that neither of them get hurt. Which

lesson are you in? x

March 29th 2011

Quinn looks around the hallway for her girlfriend. She hasn't seen her girlfriend all day, and she knew something was up. She sees Kurt, Rachel's new BFF, standing talking to a friend, and she walks up with a soft smile. "Hey Kurt, have you seen Rae?" She asks and from the look on his face she knows something has gone wrong.

"She was slushied this morning Quinn. I thought you knew"

She shakes her head and runs a hand through her hair. "Who?"

"Karofsky" Of course it is she thinks. He has hated the relationship between the two girls, since they came out last year for some reason. If it wasn't for Santana intercepting all slushy attacks, both girls would be covered a lot more often.

"Did you see where she went?"

"Where does Rach go when she's upset?" She nods and thanks him before walking along to auditorium where she knows her girlfriend will be. She expects to see a cleaned off Rachel stood on the stage performing her little heart out, but instead finds her curled in the chairs at the front of the auditorium, shivering, from the ice cold slushy covering her body. Walking quickly over to her girlfriend, she sees that she is sobbing, dropping to her knees in front of Rachel, she tries to get her attention by holding onto her hands.

"Rach god, why didn't you text me baby?" She asks and her heart breaks when Rachel pulls her hands away from Quinn's. "Rachel?" She asks in shock.

"I can't do this anymore. I..." Rachel sobs even louder.

"Rachel, why didn't you clean up?" She decides to take a seat in the seat next to Rachel and decides her girlfriend will tell her why she is taking this so badly in her old time.

"I have had enough Quinnie" She whispers making Quinn's heart break. Knowing that she needs to hold her girl, Quinn lifts up the armrest and despite a few struggles from Rachel; she finally stops and starts crying into her embrace.

"Was it Karofsky?" Rachel shakes her head. "Who then baby?"

"Santana" She whispers and Quinn's eyes widen. Out of everyone in the school, that wasn't the name that she was expecting. Despite the odd few words out of the Latina's mouth against Rachel, the girl was oddly protective of the diva, especially against Quinn's evil tongue.

"Oh my god. She is dead Rach. I won't do anything I promise; I will just leave it all down to Brittany. Do you know why?" Rachel shakes her head.

"She just... came over to me and poured it down me and walked away. She looked so upset but... I thought we were friends" Quinn kisses her temple and rubs her hands up and down her girlfriend's shivering arms.

"Rach" They both turn to the sound and see Santana sat on the edge of the stage tears running down her face. "I am so sorry. I, they threatened Britt" She sobs and covers her mouth not quite believing what she did.

Quinn decides she needs to go and comfort her best friend for a second. Kissing her girlfriends temple, she gets up and stands in front of Santana. "San. What did they say they'd do to Brittany?" Santana closes her eyes and lets out another sob. In all the years that Quinn has known Santana, she has never seen her cry so she knows the reason why San did this to Rachel must be horrible.

"They said they would put the retarded idiot in her fucking her place if I didn't do what they said." Rachel gasps at this and gets up from her place on the chair. She walks over to Santana and Quinn and wipes away some of the dried slushy on her face. "Rae I am so sorry. I hope... I had to, I can't let. I am a horrible person" Rachel shakes her head and wipes her tears from her eyes.

"You saved the person you love" Santana shakes her head.

"Whilst hurting a friend in the process. I am so sorry" Rachel nods and turns her back to the stage, puts both hands on the stage and jumps back up to sit beside Santana and wraps her arms around her.

"I forgive you. Now, let's go get me cleaned up. You are an amazing person Santana, I know you refuse to become public with Britt but you protect her at all costs" Santana smiles and hugs her friend hoping she can make up for what she did.

"San, was it football players or cheerio's?"

"Cheerio's" Quinn nods and decides they both need to teach them their place, starting at the top with Sue Sylvester.

April 5th 2011

Rachel is watching a video clip that has now uploaded on to her computer. Today was Maddie's first steps and she and Quinn couldn't be prouder. Looking at the clip she smiles remembering the day.

Rachel walks into the room and sees Quinn heavily interested into the TV show making her smile. "Hey baby, where's Madeline?"

"Just there" She looks over and sees her little girl is not where she left her. "Oh my god" she gets up "Maddie? Maddie baby where are you?" She begins running around the house looking for the little girl. Quinn stops in the play room and Rachel who is behind her bumps into her and gasps when she sees the sight that made Quinn stop. Their baby girl is walking around the play room like she has been doing it all her life.

"I'll get the camera" Rachel says and runs for the living room to pick up the camera. When she comes back in Quinn is sat on the floor opening her arms for her baby girl to come running into. Rachel stands filming the scene with a smile before holding the camera in front of her own face and saying. "April 2011. Madeline Fabray is walking" Quinn chuckles and tells Rachel to come sit down so they can play with their daughter.

It has only been three weeks since Madeline's first steps and the Berry's had to spend hours making everything even more baby proof than it was before. Madeline liked investigating and now she can walk there was no stopping her.

Maddie is being held by Rachel on the floor as the two of them are playing with The Wizard of Oz on the TV behind them. Maddie is now walking everywhere, but still like her mother loves to be held, especially by the woman she is sat on. She is clapping away, whist Rachel is laughing and her eyes lighten when she sees her mother walk into the room.

"Momma" Madeline squeals.

Quinn and Rachel's eyes lock and Quinn's fill with tears seeing her baby girl sat on the love of her life, holding her hands out, asking to be picked up. Quinn laughs and falls to her knees and holds onto Madeline tightly. "Mommy loves you baby. I love you" she opens her arms for Rachel to come into which she does. Rachel sits up and hugs the two women in her life tightly. Kissing Quinn's temple and smiles.

"I love you Quinn"

She leans down and kisses the little girl on the forehead and Maddie holds onto Rachel's face with her chubby hands, and kisses Rachel on the lips making them both smile.

"Mama. Mwah"

Rachel turns to Quinn quickly who smiles deeply and hugs her family so tightly. Elijah Berry comes walking in and stops when he sees Quinn & Rachel crying softly, whilst Madeline is looking between them trying to work out what is going on.

"Hey what's up?" Quinn looks up and smiles.

"She called me mama and Rach momma. She said her first words" Elijah falls to his knees to hug his family.

May 15th 2011

Maddie is currently running around the back yard, as fast as her little legs can take her, followed by the few friends that can walk from her day care on a Friday. Quinn is sat on the top step which takes them down to the back yard and smiles at the site, especially when a gorgeously flushed Rachel Berry chases after them, trying to make a game for the little one year old. She picks up the camera that she has stored in her handbag next to her and begins to take pictures of the lovely scene, knowing the second one she took will go in her album.

She smiles when she sees the diva coming towards her and laughs when she plonks herself down on her lap. Quinn hugs her tightly, not daring to kiss her, as the women of the other children are already giving the young mother glares.

"Baby we are being glared at" Rachel states and Quinn just laughs and kisses Rachel's cheek, making another woman glare even more.

"I know. I think the fact that I'm 17, a mother, and a bisexual will do that for them. I love you though, you are amazing with Maddie and the other kids" Rachel smiles at this.

"Why thank you".

They sit in silence watching the little blonde playing with her friends, talking in a language that only Maddie can understand. Quinn picks up her camera again and laughs when she sees a reflection in the view finder, of Elijah Berry taking a picture of the couple watching their daughter. She takes her own picture of her little girl before turning and smiling. The doorbell rings and Rachel jumps off her lap.

"That'll be the rest of Glee club. Be right back" She runs off and Elijah sits down next to Quinn once Rachel has ran back into the house and wraps his arm around his honorary daughter.

"She is amazing"

"My little girl or your little girl" Quinn chuckles and nods.

"Both. I meant Rachel though. I fall more in love with her every day. Seeing her be such a natural mother to Madeline today, well it's pretty amazing" He nods.

"She is very maternal. She always takes care of me and Joe, so it's only right that she is good with Madeline. I can't believe it's been a year" she smiles.

"I know right" she runs a hand through her hair and chuckles at the site of her daughter with her friends. "She is just amazing. I need to thank you and Joe. Without you two and Rachel, I wouldn't be here today. Even if I had stayed with my mom I would not have been able to keep her. Thank you" Elijah nods and hugs her to him.

"You are welcome. You are a brilliant mother Quinn and we're happy to have you in our family" He kisses her temple and Rachel comes back out into the yard, followed by Puck, Santana, Brittany, Kurt & Finn who comes out of the house looking down at his shoes, not knowing what to do or say. Even though Rachel forgave him for what he did, a year ago today, Quinn probably will never be able to. She still uses it against him at any given point however, Rachel asked if he could come today, to keep him in the loop and Quinn couldn't say no to those puppy dog eyes that her girl gave her.

Kurt extends his arm with a present in his hand. "Here you go Quinn. It's for Madeline but I'm pretty sure she'll just enjoy the box more" Quinn chuckles knowing how true this is.

"I'm sure she will" She sees Puck staring out at the garden and smiles at him. "Go get her Puck, she'll love to see you" Puck smiles slightly, and jumps off the wall onto the grass below and walks over to his little girl, who claps when she sees her father.

"Dada"

Puck smiles even more at the sound of his little girl talking, especially saying his name. So far the only words she's learn are Mama, Mommy & Dada. There are a few attempts at yes, no and even the word fuck which got Puck a smack around the head from Rachel for. It took a while to get Dada out of her, but Puck was the proudest man in the world when she said it to him. He bends down and swoops the little girl off the floor and into his arms.

"Hello my little princess. Look at you in your dress. You look beautiful baby girl"

"Dada"

"Shall we go see your aunts and uncles baby" she smiles at him and nods like she understands completely what he is saying. "Come on"

He walks back up to the house, and immediately Madeline is taken out of his arms by Brittany who coos over the little girl in her arms. Out of all of the Glee club the one person Rachel & Quinn trust Madeline with is Brittany, who has become the best baby sitter ever. She is fantastic with the little girl, which shocked everyone, other than Santana who knew her girl was amazing all along. Santana kisses the little girl on the temple, receiving a kiss along back from the little girl.

"Fin'd"

The group look in shock when Madeline has her arms out towards Finn, who stands there in shock not knowing what to do. He's never held the little girl before, knowing that he caused her early birth, but now the little girls fourth word was her own creation of his name, he smiles, and looks to Rachel for what to do.

"Go give her a hug Fin'd" Quinn says smiling. "She obviously like you. Not that I can understand why" Rachel slaps her on the bum making Kurt fake gag. Finn walks over and takes Maddie out of Brittany's arms gingerly, not sure what to do with the 1 year old. He bounces her slightly causing her to giggle and snuggle into chest.

"She likes you Finn" Rachel says from her position at Quinn's side. He nods and smiles at the baby.

"She's like really cute. Hey kiddo"

"I really don't like this" Quinn whispers to Rachel.

"Your daughter is loving it Quinn. She likes him, let them have fun" She kisses her deeply. "I love you".

"I love you too"

They all turn around when the door to the back yard opens and Quinn's grandmother Dianna walks through with a giant present smiling brightly. She puts the present on the table and embraces her granddaughter and her granddaughter's girlfriend tightly. Quinn smiles, and embraces her Nana back tightly.

"Thank you for coming Nana"

"I would miss it for the world" She hugs Rachel as well. "I can't believe she is 1 now. It feels like yesterday I saw you back in that store that day"

"I know" She chuckles. "Once Frankenteen has had his turn, you can hold her" Rachel smacks Quinn on the arm for the nickname. "Already abusing me huh babe?" Quinn kisses Rachel.

Dianna laughs at the looks from the other mothers in the garden who are watching their kids with hawk eyes, however when Quinn kissed Rachel they all looked disgusted and ready to walk out.

"They're not too happy with you two showing PDA's from the looks of things" The girls laugh and kiss once more just to piss off the parents a little bit more.

"I know. Screw them"

Quinn and Rachel were currently laying on a blanket out in the Berry's back garden, both snuggled up together watching the night's sky. They had just got Madeline down after her first birthday, and they had a hell of a time trying to control little 1 year olds, especially their little one, as she wanted to go everywhere her little legs would take her. They were physically exhausted, but wanted to spend some time together, to bask in the year they had.

"It's been 15 months since we kissed" Quinn turns to look at her girlfriend and smiles.

"Is it really? Wow. It feels like yesterday" Rachel laughs and cuddles closer into her side.

"I know. I can't believe she's 1"

"Yeah. I can't believe it either. It was nice to see my Nana today. Maddie absolutely adores her" Rachel smiles.

"Maddie adores everyone. She's got your kind heart. I think she's going to hold a soft spot for Artie" The girl spent the day on his lap being wheeled around the back garden.

"I think she's amazed she can be wheeled around by him more than anything at the moment. I think she's getting a soft spot for Finn though. Which I hate" Rachel leans up on her elbow to look at Quinn.

"Oh baby. He is good with her though. Thank you for letting me invite him" Quinn nods.

"You are welcome. Rach?" She asks and Rachel nods "I love you so much, I hope you know that I love you and will love you for the rest of my life" Rachel smiles.

"You've already given me a promise ring, this isn't a proposal is it?"

"Nah, we're too young for that, but when I do propose, I'll make sure I use that" Rachel looks at her in shock.

"When you do propose?" She repeats back to the other girl.

"I will love you for the rest of my life. A proposal is inevitable."

"I love you more than anything on this planet" Rachel says smiling down at her sweetheart. "You are the reason I smile so much now, you have calmed me down, you have made me happier than I could ever imagine. Especially at 17"

"Calmed you down. Really?" Rachel chuckles.

"A little bit"

"Thank you Rae. Without your support those months leading up to Maddie's birth I'm pretty sure I would have had to give her up for adoption. You gave me the courage to raise my daughter, without that I would have had nothing. So thank you" She sighs. "Can I ask you a question?" Nod. "Can I ask what you see in our future? Are we together, do we..." she's cut off by Rachel's lips on her own.

"I see us being happily married. Me of course being on Broadway, Maddie being at school, yourself doing your dream job. I see plenty more kids in our future, I see Santana and Brittany still annoying the hell out of us and of course Noah living above our garage till Maddie moves out" Quinn lets out a loud laugh at this last statement.

"18 years away?" Rachel nods and smirks at her girlfriend. "Wow. 18 years of Puck. I'm not sure I can handle that. Thank you for telling me it" She kisses her girlfriend before they both lay back down and look back up at the sky.

June 19th 2011

Quinn is sat on the couch watching Santana bounce 13 month old Madeline up and down on her knee. Despite her hard nature, especially at the moment without Brittany in her life, Madeline always managed to melt the Latina. Quinn & Rachel found it hilarious when Madeline was 10 months old, when Santana asked if she could take her to meet her family, the Lopez's having heard about the baby girl every day of every week.

Santana leans forward and blows a raspberry on Madeline's arms making the little girl laugh. "San!" When the little girl says her name, Santana melts over again and brings her god daughter to her chest and hugs her tightly.

"I'm keeping her" Santana says smiling at the little girl in her arms.

"She's ours I'm afraid San" Santana lets her bottom lip fall down into a pout making the diva who was sat on the floor with Puck playing a video game laugh before she is dragged back into the game. The front door opens and in walks the tall blond in her cheerleading outfit, even though it's a Sunday.

"Britt you know you don't have to wear your cheerleading outfit today right?" Brittany looks confused and then nods.

"Oh okay. Hey Maddie"

Brittany bends down and picks up the little girl. Maddie squeals in happiness, and taps her hands against the tall blonds' face and kisses her cheek. In the beginning they had been worried about Brittany being around Madeline; however she was absolutely fantastic with her. A natural. She loved the little girl as her own, and she was the first person Quinn & Rachel went to if they needed a babysitter, even before Puck.

"Bwit"

Brittany smiles at the little girl and sits down on Santana's lap making the rest of the people in the room smile at the sight. Quinn reaches over and picks up the Berry's camera which is situated on the coffee table and takes a picture of her best friends and her daughter.

July 15th 2011

Quinn stands in the doorway to their bedroom and smiles at the sight of Rachel in her bikini, if you could call it that, it was barely a scrap of lace covering the most important parts. She is looking gorgeous if Quinn could say so herself.

"Please tell me that bikini comes with bottoms?" Quinn asks with her trade mark smirk on her face. Rachel turns around in shock at the sound of her girlfriend and then looks down past her stomach to the bikini she is actually wearing.

"Quinn. I am wearing bottoms"

Quinn lets out a small laugh. "They leave absolutely nothing to the imagination"

Rachel chuckles and looks back into the mirror, running a hand over her stomach and thighs, working out if going to this pool party at Puck's is a smart idea. She's never been in this little clothing except in front of Quinn and then she still gets very nervous.

"What's wrong?"

Quinn steps forward and wraps her arms around her girlfriends bare stomach, leaning her chin on her shoulder and looking back at them in the mirror. They really do look fantastic together.

"Nothing" Quinn sighs and glares Rachel.

"Don't lie to me Rae" Rachel leans her head back and rests it on Quinn's shoulder and looks up the best she can into her girlfriends' eyes. They have now been together 18 months, and Quinn fell more and more in love with Rachel every day.

"I hate my body"

Quinn's eyes widen and she rakes her eyes up and down the body she knows so well. She had absolutely no flaws what-so-ever, no tan-lines on her gorgeous tanned body. Her skin had no imperfections; her legs seemed to go on forever, despite her 5"2 statures and her toned stomach rivalled even the most toned cheerleaders. Her body was gorgeous and Quinn couldn't understand why she 'hates' it.

"Why?" She asks softly and her heart breaks at the response.

"I'm fat"

Quinn's hat enough, she pulls back and spins Rachel in her arms and then cups her face in her hands and looks into her eyes. "You are beautiful" She says kissing Rachel's forehead. "Your body is out of this world beautiful. You have no imperfections at all. Hell, I train three hours a day for cheerleading and my body doesn't even come close to how amazing your body is" She says staring into Rachel's eyes trying to get her point across.

Rachel just looks to the floor "You have to say that, you are my girlfriend"

"No" Quinn shouts and Rachel is spun back around and she closes her eyes. "Look at yourself. Tell me where in gods name are you fat?" Rachel shakes her head. "You brought this up Rachel, open your eyes now." Rachel finally listens and looks into the eyes of her girlfriend through the mirror.

"Quinn we don't have time for this"

"Baby, look at your body and tell me where the hell are you fat?"

"I... my stomach" Rachel mumbles out.

"What here?" She places her hand on her stomach and makes a scene of looking for any problems on her stomach; of course she's not able to find anything.

"Quinn please stop" Rachel asks, tears filling her eyes.

"No. Tell me you are beautiful"

"What?" Rachel asks.

"Look me in the eyes and tell me you think you are beautiful Rae. Tell me"

"I'm not though" Rachel says and Quinn feels her heart break again and she lets out a huff of frustration.

"God you annoy me. Rachel you are the most beautiful woman in the world and you have the most beautiful stomach." She covers Rachel's bare stomach with her hand. "What would you say to me, if I was stood here complaining about my fat post-pregnancy stomach?" She asks knowing this is something Rachel feels strongly about.

"Stop being stupid as you have the most beautiful body in the world" Rachel states.

"See" She goes to stand in front of her and cups her face in her hands. "I love you Rae" She kisses her softly. "You have a gorgeous body and I'm going to be fighting even Kurt away from you later. Now get some shorts and a tank top over that gorgeous body and I'll go finish getting Madeline ready" She says kissing Rachel one last time. The whole glee club was going for a pool/bbq party at Puck's house and of course that included honouree member Madeline.

Quinn walks out of the room and runs a hand through her hair, not quite believing how someone so confident on the outside, could have so many insecurities. Quinn knows what this all comes down to. The other day she and Quinn were walking through the mall and Rachel waited outside a shop whilst Quinn was getting her a small present. A group of cheerleaders with a death wish came up to Rachel and started making fun of her, the same way Quinn used to. Quinn managed to get there in time to send them all off with a threat, but she knew it had hit Rachel hard. She had pulled the girl to her as soon as it happened and Rachel had even pushed her away and told her she was fine. As soon as the girl refused a hug, Quinn knew something wasn't right.

Walking into her daughter's room, she smiles at the sight of her baby girl in a swimming costume and running around the room putting little toys into the big beach bag Quinn had set onto the floor. Quinn stands there and smiles at the sight of her 15 month year old. She can't believe how lucky she is to not only have Rachel in her life but at the same time, this little girl.

"Mommy" Maddie squeals and runs up to her mother and hugs her tightly making Quinn smile brightly spinning her around in her arms and kissing the side of her face.

"Are you ready to go swimming today with mama, mommy & daddy?" She asks hugging her daughter tightly.

"Dada yeah"

"Let's get you into a dress as well then baby" She walks over to her little wardrobe and picks out a gorgeous yellow sun dress for her baby girl and helps her get into it, before picking up her bag, and Madeline and walking back into Rachel's room, smiling at the smile on her girls face.

"Dada"

Maddie squeals and Rachel places her on the floor letting her run over to her father. Quinn reaches down and their hands automatically entwine and Quinn lifts up Rachel's hand and brings it to her lips to kiss her knuckles, before smiling at her girl.

"Puck we're just going to get out of these clothes and into our swim wear"

"Cool" He says still hugging his daughter. "Please keep it clean" He says with a wink. Quinn smirks, knowing exactly what he's talking about. They had Quinn's birthday party here 6 months ago, and Quinn and Rachel snuck off to the bathroom about 5 minutes into the party and it took Santana threatening to break the door down for them to finish and come and enjoy the party.

As soon as they realised there was a limited number of sun loungers, Quinn lay down on one and patted the space between her legs. Quinn and Rachel had now been sat wrapped around each other for the better part of an hour. Quinn's camera had been passed throughout the whole of the Glee club taking pictures of the two of them, but more specifically Puck teaching Maddie to swim in the swimming pool.

Quinn leans forward and kisses Rachel's temple.

"Hey. This is amazing"

Quinn smirks. "What being in my arms?" Rachel chuckles and nods.

"Of course there is that" She smiles. "I love being around everyone and watching our daughter in the pool. You did this for me"

"You did it for yourself baby. I was just there at your side as I always will be"

"Sap"

Quinn smiles and kisses the side of Rachel's face again. "You love me for it"

Rachel nods. "I do. Quinn?"

"Hmm" Quinn says in response holding her girlfriend to her tighter.

"I think I'm beautiful" Quinn closes her eyes and squeezes out a tear knowing how much it must have took for Rachel to say this. She gently nudges her back and leans forward to kiss her softly.

"Good. You are, so beautiful Rae"

Kurt who over hears this laughs. "And the two of your together, could make even me turn straight" Quinn chuckles and Kurt winks at her before slipping into the pool and swimming over to Puck & Madeline.

August 20th 2011

Elijah & Joe stand at the doorway watching their daughter and her girlfriend scream at each other. Quinn had put her foot down when Rachel said they were going out to Puck's party, and Rachel flipped, and accused Quinn of controlling her again. Everything got brought up, from Quinn's bullying, Rachel's divaness, getting pregnant with Madeline and it was heartbreaking for the two men to see this happening, but they had to be here just in case one of them lashed out.

"You are the most selfish piece of shit I've ever met in my life!" Quinn screams at the smaller girl in front of her.

"If I'm that selfish, why would I allow you to movie n here hmm? Why would I give up my world, for you? Why would I help mother your child?" Rachel sneers at the girl.

"You're a bitch" She shouts "A fucking little bitch. You're not her mother! No wonder no one but me could even be near you and look right now, I can't fucking stand you" At this Rachel breaks and smacks Quinn hard across the face. The Berry men have been watching from the kitchen, and know not to get involved in this. Quinn deserved that slap.

"I fucking hate you. You haven't changed have you Fabray? You are still the evil HBIC who cares about no one but herself. Oh wait. There's Madeline. The girl you didn't even want, but kept when you had a roof over your head. You know she probably would have been better without you. I know I'm better off without you."

Quinn holds her hand to her face and looks at the girl in front of her, knowing she's' broke her. The girl has tears streaming down her face and her hand over her mouth, like she can't believe what she just said. "Okay if you feel that way"

She has seen many diva storm outs from Rachel, so she knows how to do one, she walks up the stairs and finds her baby girl stood up in her cot, looking around like she knows there's something wrong. Quinn begins to pack and overnight bag for the two of them, before finally swooping her little girl into her arms and walking back out the door.

Elijah decides to stop the girl from running away. "Quinn wait" Quinn turns round and shakes her head.

"I can't anymore Eli. She's told me what she thinks of me, I can't be around her anymore and I don't want Madeline around her as well. Thank you for looking after me."

She walks out of the door, and puts Madeline in her baby seat, almost praying that Rachel runs out after her. She sits in the driver's seat for a minute, before driving off to her Nana's knowing she'll be happy to have her.

Knocking on her Grandmother's door, she finally begins to let the tears fall. Her Nana opens the door and sees her granddaughter in front of her holding her great granddaughter. She picks up Madeline before Quinn collapses from her sobs. She directs her into the living room before walking out.

Quinn looks at her, wondering what she was doing. Looking up however, she sees her ex-girlfriend sat in front of her, tears streaming down her face. Wondering what's going on, she looks around the room.

"Daddy drove like a maniac to get me here before you got here. I think we overtook you at one point. I'm sure he'll have a few speeding fines in the morning" Quinn looks at her in shock, not quite understanding what is happening. Elijah Berry pops his head in and glares at his daughter.

"Rachel Barbara Berry apologise now. I will not see you lose what you have here" He smiles at the blonde "Hi Quinn, just let her apologise before you beat the crap into her" Quinn smiles at the man and she turns to Rachel and gives her a weak smile.

The diva takes a deep breath before nodding and talking. "I know I'm selfish. I know I don't deserve you or Madeline but the one thing I am terrified of is that you won't consider me as her mother. I know I don't have any rights, but I love her like she is my own" She stops as she has to hold in a sob. "She calls me Mama for goodness sake"

Quinn has to interrupt this. "You are her mother. You are. I am so sorry I said that" Rachel nods in understanding.

"You used all of my insecurities against me. I know no one likes me, but did... I know I hurt you back but you broke me Quinn" she sobs even louder now "You fucking broke my heart" Quinn gets out of her seat and kneels in front of the girl she loves with her whole heart.

"I love you so much Rachel Berry. You are not selfish" Rachel raises her eyebrow "Okay not when you are around me and Maddie. You are an amazing mother, and everyone in Glee club loves you" Rachel scoffs "No they'll do anything for you baby, they love you" Rachel smiles at this.

"Maddie has the most amazing life Quinn, me and you have given her that. She really wouldn't be better with some lame ass parents. She's better off with us. Please believe me when I say I'm sorry"

Quinn nods and sighs. "I can't believe all of this started due to me being controlling about you going to Puck's party"

"I know. Shall we blame it on him?" Quinn stands up and Rachel leans back knowing what she needs. Quinn sits on the smaller girls lap and hugs her tightly.

"Yeah" She kisses her lightly. "I love you so much. So damn much and I am sorry for everything I said. We are two polar opposites sometimes, it's why we work but at the same time it causes arguments like this. We need to learn not to take the bait beautiful" Rachel kisses the woman back even deeper trying to convey her love to the woman she adores.

"I'm sorry. I'll try to be better. I love you more than I love anything" Quinn smiles and they lean back into the couch for a much needed kiss both girls still crying but with happiness this time knowing they could have lost what they have. Elijah pops his head back in and smiles at the site.

"Hey, I uh... sorry it was quiet in here. I wanted to know if you murdered my daughter" Quinn chuckles and pulls herself off Rachel who has a glazed look in her eye.

"I'm fine daddy. We're fine. Sorry about tonight" She stands up and looks at the floor in front of her.

"Just don't repeat it baby girl. If I have got speeding tickets though, you two are paying for them" The girls nod and clasp their hands in between them.

Rachel Berry loves her girl and is sorry for everything I said tonight. You are everything to me.
-Santana Lopez please don't tell me you are apologising over FaceBook? Now that's pathetic.
-Quinn Fabray we both needed to apologise and we did it in person thank you San. I love you too baby. Sorry about tonight forgive me?
-Rachel Berry always.

December 25th 2011

Quinn Fabray has had an absolutely fantastic Christmas. Seeing my baby girl open her expensive gifts and throw it to the side to play with the box was one of the cutest things ever. If only slightly annoying.

January 14th 2012

Santana and Quinn have spent the better part of the day sunning by the pool in the Berry's back garden. Joe & Elijah were looking after Madeline in the house and Rachel was spending the day with Kurt & Mercedes.

Santana manages to control her laughter when her phone rings, and she smiles at the ring tone when she hears its Brittany. After ending things with Artie, Santana and Brittany had decided to become a couple of some sort and Santana was deliriously happy. Picking up the phone even brighter smiles covers her face. "Hey baby. What's up?"

"Help me San" Brittany whispers from the other end of the phone.

"Baby what's wrong?" Santana asks sitting forward in her seat. "Brittany?"

"He found out. He found our sexts. Oh god San I'm scared. He's told me to move out." Santana throws the phone to Quinn and tells her to get Brittany to tell her when she is whilst she quickly begins to throw clothes on so she can go over to the Pierce household.

Michael Peirce was known in Lima for the fact that he threw his eldest son out to the curb at the age of 15, when he asked for his advice from his father about the fact that he had feelings for another man. From that point on, Santana & Brittany were always careful around the Pierce's, even down to the fact that Brittany never mentioned Santana at all, and was never allowed to mention the fact that her best friends were Quinn & Rachel.

Santana runs towards the Pierce household and doesn't even bother knocking on the door, before entering. Once inside she veers towards Michael Pierce with an evil glare on her face, and he has the good decency to step back a little knowing what this small Latina can do to him. She growls before walking up the stairs to help her girlfriend pack. She finds Brittany at the edge of her bed on the floor sobbing loudly. She drops to her knees and wraps her arms around her girlfriend.

"It'll be okay baby."

"He told me he never wanted to see me again San." She whispers softly, eyes widen open and staring at the door just in case he comes anywhere near the room.

"I know baby. I'm so sorry it came down to this." She kisses her temple before standing up to go to the closet and get out two big suitcases to fill all of Brittany's stuff with. Brittany gets out of her reverie and stands up and starts to help Santana pack. "Do you regret being with me? Being gay?" Santana asks softly and Brittany shakes her head and grabs Santana into a hug and kisses her deeply.

"No. Never San. I love you." She smiles. "If mom and dad can't see that I'm happy, then it's their loss not mine. Come on this is everything." She says before zipping up the suitcases and picking one up leaving the other for Santana to pick up. They walk down the stairs and Brittany stops when her mother stands in front of her. "I guess this is goodbye then." Brittany says looking at her shoes.

"Goodbye" Her mother says softly, not quite believing that another child was sinning like Joshua and Brittany have done.

"Do you not regret throwing your two eldest kids out on the street?" Santana says before Brittany can stop her. Mrs Pierces eyes fly up to Santana and her eyes widen in what Santana could only describe as fear. She nods however before she can say anything, Michael comes walking into the room and glares at the two girls.

"Are you still here? Get your filfth out of my house now." He exclaims and Brittany nods. Just before she walks out of the door, she turns around with a small innocent smile on her face.

"Oh just so you know, me and San did it on your bed, the couch, the kitchen counter and on your office table. Might wanna burn it all." She winks before walking out quickly, and getting into the car which is being driven by Quinn. Santana and Brittany get into the back and Brittany finally begins to sob again.

"I'm proud of you baby" Santana says.

"I called Joey, Britt. You are welcome to stay with me and Rach for a little bit however you'll have to share with Madeline. There's not that much room and it can't be permenant." Brittany nods in understanding and sighs.

"I'll contact my Aunt. She's known about me and Santana from the beginning. She'll help." She says with a soft smile making Santana's heart break a little at how strong her baby is being.

"I love you." Santana whispers and Brittany smiles and kisses her lips softly.

"I love you too."

February 12th 2012

"Mama" Madeline shouts out from her position in the doorway. Rachel as always on her birthday is having a lie in, and Quinn has finally let their 21 month year old into the room to wake up Rachel. Rachel groans and Quinn comes into the room, and lifts their little girl onto the bed, so she can crawl onto her mother. "Mama"

Rachel smiles softly, and leans her arms out and grabs Madeline softly under the arms and lifts her into the air making the little girl squeal in excitement. Bringing her down to her chest, Rachel hugs her as tight as possible.

"Morning baby girl." Madeline kisses her mother on the cheek loudly making Rachel chuckle.

"'Appy Buffday mama"

Quinn sits down on the edge of the bed, making her presence known. Rachel looks over and whispers 'I love you' to her. Quinn crawls over to her girlfriend and kisses her softly. "Happy Birthday baby. Now come on get up and get ready. As it's the weekend, and no school, we're going to enjoy this day." She runs a hand through the blonde curls on Madeline's head. "Maddie here is going with her daddy." Madeline smiles brightly at this.

Picking up Madeline, Quinn winks at Rachel before walking out of the room before walking down the stairs where Puck is sat at the kitchen table talking to Joe about a car from what Quinn can hear. Once he sees Madeline however, his attention is diverted and a smile comes across his face. It's moments like this where she has to forgive Puck for knocking her up at 15 years old, and thank him for giving her a beautiful child like Madeline. He absolutely adored the ground that Maddie walked on, and with that smile on his face at the moment, Quinn knew for a fact that he'll always been in her and Madeline's life if he could help it.

"Hey kiddo." Puck says getting up off the seat and taking his daughter out of Quinn's arms. He leans forward and kisses Quinn's cheek in greeting, before his attention is back to Madeline. "You looking forward to a day out with daddy?" Her eyes brighten and she nods up and down making them all laugh.

"Luf you daddy." She says making Puck smile brightly and kiss her soft blonde curls.

"Love you too baby." He looks up at Quinn. "Where's the birthday girl?"

"Showering and getting dressed. She'll be down in..." before she can finish her sentence, Rachel walks through the kitchen with a bright smile on her face which brightens even more when she sees all the wrapped presents on the kitchen table. She squeals quietly, but Quinn catches it, smiling over at her girlfriend.

#####

Quinn was now driving out of Lima, her free hand entwined with Rachel's and avoiding all of the pointed looks that Rachel is sending her. The one thing that Quinn has been trying to work on with Rachel is to get her to stop trying to ruin surprises. Rachel had a need to be in control with all situations and surprises took away her control. As soon as they got into Quinn's car, Rachel was on at her to tell her what they will be doing within the day, however Quinn being used to Rachel, kept tight lipped and just smiled.

"Babe at least give me a clue" Rachel says. "The suspense is killing me."

"It's called a surprise for a reason Rae." She pulls her hand away from Rachel as she turns into a rather sharp corner; however as soon as they hit a straight, she wraps her fingers back into Rachel's making the shorter girl smile.

"Not even the slightest clue? Just one, please?" Quinn throws her head back and laughs. She thinks for a second trying to come up with a clue which will just infuriate her girlfriend even more, but at the same time giving her a small bit of information. Racking her brain for something that won't spoil the surprise, she realises everything she can come up with, will ruin it.

"Did you notice any of your clothes missing this morning?" She asks her girl softly and smirks when she sees Rachel's brow furrow in confusion.

"Yes, but what does that have to do with my surprise?"

"Everything and that's all your getting babe." She says squeezing the hand in hers and letting out a small chuckle when Rachel begins to pout.

"That's not a clue."

"Well what about what's in front of us, is that a clue?" Rachel looks back to the road and sees a straight road however at the end of the road is the outline of a plane taking off. Looking to Quinn her eyes widen in realisation, and she lets out a small happy sound.

"We're flying somewhere?" Quinn nods and turns off the road she's on, making her way towards the airport car park. "Where?"

"Now, now Rae. At least let me keep that bit of the surprise a secret." She says with a wink, whilst trying to find her designated parking space.

With the help of her Grandma, Quinn had managed to create the best birthday present for her girlfriend ever. It meant missing two days off school, which might not go down well with Rachel however she'll make sure to make it up to her. Quinn had used some of the money her Grandma had given her last year for this trip, however as Elijah Berry was apparently friggin fantastic at finding a budget flight for them, it barely made a dent in the money.

Parking up, she gets out of the car and pops the trunk getting the two carryon bags out before walking around the car to help her girl out. Rachel stops her from walking away and kisses her softly on the lips before hugging her tightly.

"What's this for angel?" Quinn asks softly hugging her girlfriend back.

"Thank you. For this, for everything." Quinn kisses her cheek and smiles.

"You deserve it all Rae and everything else I can give you. Come on." She picks up their carryon bags and hands one to Rachel before lacing their fingers together and walking towards the airport.

####

As soon as Quinn handed over the tickets the surprise to where they were going was ruined. As soon as the words Miami were uttered, Rachel's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, and through the two hour wait for boarding, she was more excitable than Madeline would have been if they said they were going to meet the stars of her favourite television show.

They were now sat on the plane and Quinn was attempting to watch the movie on the seat in front of her and every now and then her eyes sneaked over to Rachel who was looking through the information in the back of the seat about Miami and acting just like an excitable child. Quinn reaches over to hold her girlfriends hand and smiles when Rachel lifts it up to kiss the back of her hand.

#####

Quinn gets out of the cab and carefully helps her girlfriend out of the back. She had asked Rachel to wear a blindfold and with a lot of persuading Rachel finally agreed. She tells Rachel to wait by the side of the car, whilst she goes to get the bags and pays the cab. She walks back around silently and smiles when she sees Rachel fiddling with the edge of the blindfold, using every ounce of restraint not to rip it off. She wraps her arm around her waist, making Rachel jump at the sudden contact, and carefully directs them in the direction of their location. When she finds the perfect spot to see all of their location, she leans over to Rachel and kisses her pulse point, before lifting her head to kiss the tip of her ear.

"Take of the blindfold angel." Rachel wastes no time and rips off the blindfold and her eyes widen when she taken in what is in front of her. Sat at the top of a cliff is the most beautiful cabin that Rachel has seen in her life. It looks absolutely huge, however what makes what she is seeing ever better is the view they have. Over the edge of the cliff is what looks like a deserted beach and miles and miles of gorgeous blue ocean. She turns around to Quinn who has dropped the bags and is basking in the reaction of her girlfriend. Rachel squeals loudly, and jumps into Quinn's arms, who struggles to hold up the extra weight and tries to find her footing and when she does, Rachel's lips cover her own for a very passionate and amazing kiss.

"This is amazing Quinn. How did you afford it? How..." She shakes her head and tries to work out how she deserves this woman in front of her.

"This is my grandmothers, she usually rents it out most of the year, but she's let us have it." Rachel kisses her again, before turning around to look back out at the view. Quinn steps forward and throw both arms around the petite diva's neck, resting her entwined hands on her chest and her chin on her shoulder. "Happy birthday my angel."

#####

Quinn watches her girlfriend from her position at the door; Rachel was on the phone to Dianna thanking Quinn's grandmother for leaving them the cabin. Quinn smiles fondly at the scene, thinking about how young Rachel seems in this moment and then remembering that they are only 17 years old and not just the grown up parents that they are to the outside world.

Suddenly Quinn's arms are filled with the excitable brunette and she holds her close to her body not quite believing how far they have come over the last few years. If you had talked to fifteen year old Quinn, she would have never have imagined that she would be holding the love of her life in her arms on the girls 17th birthday and wanting nothing more than to pick her up in her arms and carry Rachel Berry of all people to their bed and show her how much she loved her.

"Love you." Rachel mumbles into their tight embrace and Quinn just tips her head down to kiss the top of her girls head.

"I love you too Rae." She pulls away and kisses her quickly on the lips. There was a reason they were both dressed in their bathing suits. It might not be the hottest weather outside, but it was a lot warmer than Ohio and the girls were not going to miss a moment of enjoying the sunshine, even if Quinn was wearing Factor 3000 to make sure she didn't burn. "Come on, we have a pool that is calling our name." Rachel kisses her back just a little bit more deeply before running in the direction of the back door.

Before Quinn can follow, her IPhone beeps and she picks up the phone to find a message from Puck. Opening it, she sees a picture of her daughter and Puck both smiling at the camera having a great day. Sending back a text, she puts down the phone and goes to enjoy her girlfriend's presence.

#########

The sun is setting in the sky, and Quinn and Rachel are both lying on one sun lounger, basking in the sunset and being together. Quinn is laying on her back and Rachel is curled into her on her side and her head resting on Quinn's shoulder and chest.

"Did you think we'd be here a few years ago?"

"What was that baby?" Quinn asks, lifting her right arm which is wrapped around her girlfriend and runs her hand through her hair.

"Did you think we'd be here, together like this when you first asked me out?" Rachel asks softly.

Quinn thinks for a moment trying to find the right response. "Truthfully, no I don't think I did because I could have never have dreamed how wonderful this has turned out."

"Do you ever regret keeping Maddie?" Quinn smiles as she knows some people will probably take offence to this question, but she knows Rachel means no harm.

"When she was a baby, yes there were times when I thought my life would have been easier if I had given her up." She sighs. "Then I looked at our baby and with one look, I knew I would have never have been able to give her up. She was my flesh and blood Rae, she brought me you, she brought me so much happiness and all of the bad days I've had with her are forgotten."

"You're amazing." Rachel says finally lifting her head up and looking at Quinn who scoffs at the statement. "No seriously. I know I'm not easy to deal with. I'm high maintenance, I'm a diva..."

"My diva" Quinn interrupts with a smile.

"Shh you" Rachel taps Quinn's stomach in response. "You love me in spite of that, and you have managed to raise a beautiful young girl, who is an absolute genius in my opinion and the best baby in the world."

"You are her mother Rae, you're a little bit biased."

"That is also amazing. How you with all your heart, see me as Madeline's mother. I've never felt like the evil step-mother which in reality I am." She flashes her teeth making Quinn chuckle. "You are the most amazing woman on the planet and I'm so lucky to even be in your presence." Quinn smiles her heart filled with so much love and leans down and connects their lips together. Rachel moans and manoeuvres herself so she is straddling her girlfriend but at the same time, not letting their lips loose contact.

May 17th 2012

Quinn is sat at the Berry dinner table, holding her 2 year old on her lap tightly. The Berry men are stood behind their daughter who is sat on the other side. Quinn breaks the silence. "I'm going to Harvard, Rae" Rachel looks at her in shock not expecting those words to come from the love of her life's mouth.

"But... what about us?" Quinn looks down at her daughter who is playing with toys in her lap. "I thought we were going to go to New York together to raise Maddie" Quinn nods. That was the original plan but things are different now.

"I know, but we can still make it work. I will travel down to New York with Mad's on the weekends and then you could come back to Boston. We can make it work Rach" Rachel shakes her head and lets out a sarcastic laugh.

"Do you really think we can still make it work with what 250 miles between us?" She shakes her head and laughs again. "Why are you doing this Quinn?" Quinn sighs and stands up, and hands Madeline to Joe who nods at the girl and walks out of the room followed by Elijah. Quinn sits down opposite her girlfriend.

"Why am I doing it?" She sighs and leans her head forward onto her hands. "I got a full scholarship to Harvard, Rach. NYU will cost me the world and as well as that I have to pay for child care as well. Harvard will be a free ride for me and Madeline. I can't miss this opportunity" Rachel lets tears fall from her eyes.

"What about us?"

"We can do the long distance thing babe" Her heart breaks when she sees Rachel shake her head.

"We're two very jealous people Quinn. As soon as I talk to Finn you are always near me and I'm the same with Sam. I'm ready to break his bones if he touches you. It's the way we are, and it's the way we work. As soon as I see a slightly promiscuous photo uploaded to FaceBook, I'll assume the worse and it's not like you can drag me to the bathroom to make me see sense. It won't work Quinn"

Quinn nods understanding where Rachel is coming from. "I... I know. Do you understand why I am doing this?" Rachel nods.

"I do, but I thought I was more important than money Quinn" Quinn throws her hands up in defeat finally giving up on trying knowing Rachel has already thrown away their relationship.

"I love you Rachel Berry. I'll always love you, but I have to do this for Madeline. I chose to keep her so I have to make her life the best it can be" Rachel nods and stands up.

"I'm going to my room"

"Are we breaking up?" Rachel smiles sadly at her.

"I think we already have Quinn, as soon as you decided to go" Quinn's heart breaks at this point and tears fall from her eyes.

"What about Madeline?"

"What about her?" Rachel asks distantly.

"You are her mother Rachel" Rachel shakes her head before walking towards the door.

"No I'm not. I'm nothing. I'm going upstairs. Please leave me alone"

She walks out of the room and Quinn breaks down in the kitchen. She cries for about 20 minutes, only realizing that Elijah Berry is rubbing her back half way through. She sits up and smiles weakly, before getting her phone out and speed dialling her grandmother, knowing that she couldn't live here with Rachel hating her like this.

May 27th 2012

Santana, Rachel & Quinn are all sat on seats in the choir room. Santana is sat in between the two girls who are trying everything not to look at each other. Santana had hired Brittany to drag the two of them in here earlier, to try and knock some sense into them.

"You two are really ending things?" Quinn nods.

"I have to go to Harvard for Maddie's sake and she's not willing to do the long distance relationship. She doesn't think it'll work"

"Of course it'll work . You're Rachel & Quinn. Nothing could break this up other than your stupidity" Rachel sighs and tries to stand up, but Santana pushes her back down again.

"We've made up our minds Santana. We are no longer together"

"What about Madeline?" Santana asks, her mind going to her god daughter.

"She'll be coming with me" Quinn states and Santana turns to Rachel who just shrugs.

"You're okay with this? Not seeing your daughter all the time?" She sighs "Come on Rachel, you dote on that little girl. You're not just going to walk out of her life like the dead beat I didn't think you were?"

"Quinn made the decision not me by moving away"

"That's not correct Rach. If you wanna stay in her life, we'll find a way" Santana screams in frustration.

"Fucking hell, you two are insane. You are signing a pact if the two of you ever get back together. You can't treat Madeline like this"

"She made the decision" This pushes Santana over the edge and she stands up and towers over the diva.

"She is doing the best for her daughter. Your daughter. If you worked it out, you could see each other as often as possible. It'll work if you make it work" She stands away from Rachel and throws her hands in the hair in defeat. "God you are insane. Throwing away what the two of you have is ridiculous. Maybe what you are doing is the best for Maddie now" Quinn nods and stands up and walks out of the room, struggling to be near Rachel, especially with the scowl permanently on her face.

June 4th 2012

Quinn & Rachel had broken up a week ago, today was the last day of Glee, and Quinn wasn't going to resist performing a song for the love of her life, the person who she was having to leave, and the person she'll probably never see again after this moment.

Sitting on the stool, with Puck at her side, she closes her eyes and begins to sing the words which are perfect for her feelings at the moment.

"You're my world, the shelter from the rain, you're the pills that take away my pain" She looks to Rachel and sees the diva has tears in her eyes knowing immediately this song is aimed at her.

"You're the light that helps me find my way. You're the words, when I have nothing to say. And in this world, where nothing else is true, here I am, still tangled up in you. I'm still tangled up in you. Still tangled up in you" She wipes the tears which are falling down her face and stares at the Glee club who are all looking between her and Rachel with pity on their faces. She knows none of them understand why they are throwing away what they have.

"You're the fire that warms me when I'm cold. You're the hand I have to hold, as I grow old. You're the shore, when I am lost at sea. You're the only thing that I like about me"

She nods her head with the beat that Puck is creating and he looks up with a smile on his face, and nods encouraging her to go on. She looks back at Rachel who looks everywhere but at her ex.

"And in this world, where nothing else is true, here I am, still tangled up in you. I'm still tangled up in you" Rachel suddenly gets up and walks out of the room, and Quinn goes to follow but wants to finish the song, knowing there's a possibility her ex is still listening outside the room. "How long has it been? Since this story line began, and I hope that it never ends, and goes like this forever. In this world where nothing else is true, here I am, still tangled up in you. Tangled up in you. I'm still tangled up in you" She lets a sob catch in her throat and she coughs before finishing the last sentence of the song.

"Still tangled up in you"

The rest of Glee club give her a little clap, but she stands up and smiles, before walking out of the room and bumping straight into Rachel. She was no longer living with the Berry's, it wasn't fair on Joe & Eli as well as Madeline as well to cope with their arguments. Quinn was miserable without Rachel in her life, and wanted to talk to her.

"Why did you have to do that?" Rachel asks angrily.

"Glee is all about getting things of our chests. I heard that song and it fits my feelings perfectly. I love you Rachel. I love you and I want to work through this" Rachel sighs in frustration, finding it very hard to say no to this girl.

She shakes her head. "We can't. We'll make a mistake which will make one of us flip out. It's college for goodness sake. I will end up thinking about you and Maddie all the time and won't be able to concentrate on my studies" Quinn nods, knowing what Rachel is saying makes sense.

"Can we keep us until we leave then?" Rachel shakes her head "I want to be with you up until the last second, please?"

"It'll just make it harder Quinn. Please stop."

"I promise it won't. I just need to be able to hold you this summer. It's going to be... god I'm a mess. I need you in my life so fucking much. I'm a fucking mess without you" The girl begins to break down and Rachel just stares at her, her heart tearing in two.

"You're not a mess Quinn. You'll never be a mess. I'm not strong enough to be around you for the next 3 months and then loose you in September"

"Please? I want to have a nice summer with you and Madeline. Please"

Rachel shakes her head and looks into Quinn's eyes. "No Quinn! That's final. I would love to say goodbye to Madeline but I have to end it here. We decided to end this, starting it up again will ruin things"

"Can I kiss you? Just one more time. Please" Rachel nods not seeing a problem, and really wanting to kiss the love of her life one last time. She leans forward and kisses her deeply.

"I will love you forever Quinn Fabray"

"I will love you even longer. Once we're done with college, once we're done. I'll find you. I will be perfect for you" Rachel smiles.

"Thank you for an amazing two years Quinn" Santana walks into the hallway, and sees that it's just the right time. Quinn holds onto Santana's arm and Santana understands that Quinn needs someone to hold onto whilst she loses the one good thing in her life other than Madeline.

"You two are idiots" Santana states.

"Not now Santana. Bye Quinn" Rachel smiles at them before walking away.

"Come on Q" Santana drags Quinn into the nearest empty classroom and San knows it just in time, and is there to catch Quinn when she breaks down into the rogue's arms. Santana sees Brittany in the window looking confused and beckons her in, mainly to help holding Quinn up, as though as small as this girl looked, she weighed a ton.

"She's gone San. She's left me for good. Fuck I'm an idiot. Why didn't I just go to NYU?"

"Because of your daughter. You have a full scholarship ride to Harvard and a nursery there for Maddie. You would have had to pay for NYU and you would have been miserable. Maddie needs you to do this for her Quinn" Quinn nods and collapses again into Santana's arms.

"I know. Oh god I swear in 4 years I will find her and marry that woman" Santana laughs knowing how true that will probably be.

"Now that's that Quinn I know and love" She sits there with her arms around her best friend waiting for her to calm down.

August 2012

Santana had received a text from her best friend this morning, asking her to come over. Now she's stood on the doorstep to Quinn's grandmother's house in the next town over and Quinn quickly opens the door. "San. Could you do something for me?" Quinn asks instantly.

"Of course" Santana replies. "Who do I have to beat up?"

"Here"

Quinn hands over a ticket, and Santana looks at it in confusion before she sees the names of the leading stars, one of them being the one and only Rachel Berry. It had now been nearly 3 months since the two girls broke up, and Quinn was struggling not to go over to the Berry household and beg Rachel to take her back.

The person who was struggling the most was 2 year old Madeline Fabray whom couldn't understand why her mama would no longer be there in the morning to kiss her and help her get changed and play with her. Quinn had to deal on countless occasions with her baby girl, trying to calm her down, and trying not to let her heart breaking at the sound of her baby calling out for Rachel.

"Quinn, what are you doing this for?" Santana asks worried about her best friend.

Quinn sighs. "I just wanna see her again" She admits. "Just once more before we move to Boston. I won't be able to control myself from running to her without you stopping me San."

"There are 3 tickets here. Who else is coming?"

"Madeline" Santana groans. "I want her to see her mama once more. She's been begging me the last week"

"Don't you think it's a little cruel to let her see her mother but not be able to talk to her, or hug her" Quinn nods her head. She's thought about that but she can't handle seeing her baby so upset.

"I just..." She trails off. "I can't cope San. I'm 18 years old, I have a 2 year old who sobs every single hour I'm home from work, just wanting to see her mama"

"Quinn, stop it. You've got to learn how to deal with it. You are moving to Boston and she's moving to New York. Madeline is going to be without Rachel for a possible 4 years, maybe even longer. Your gonna have to give a bit of tough love Quinn." She explains.

"Just tonight. Please give me tonight" Santana growls in frustration.

"Ugh. Rachel can't see her though, that won't be fair"

Quinn smiles and nods. "Okay, Okay. Thank you"

The show was absolutely amazing and Rachel of course was the belle of the ball blowing everyone away with her voice. Santana, Quinn and Madeline were now stood in the parking lot, Quinn hugging Santana tightly, whilst gripping hold of her baby girls hand.

Suddenly the hand in hers disappears and before she can react, the two year old toddle was off running across the parking lot, Quinn and Santana behind however Quinn stops when she sees what Madeline is running towards.

Standing on the other side of the parking lot, is Rachel Berry, eyes wide at the sight of her 'daughter' running towards her, as fast as her little legs can take her. Santana realising Quinn is still in shock, chases after Madeline and gets ready to swoop her up, until she sees Rachel crouching down, her arms open ready for Maddie.

Madeline slams into Rachel hugging her as tight as she can. Santana stands near and smiles at the scene. Rachel has tears running down her face, obviously happy to be holding Madeline again.

"Miss you mama" Madeline says softly, making Rachel's heart break.

"I miss you too my little gold star" She pulls back and kisses her forehead before hugging her again. Locking her eyes on Santana's she furrows her brow. "What are you doing here?"

"Little miss diva here, wanted to see you perform. Q of course can't deny her anything" She smiles. "How are you diva?" Santana asks softly.

"All the better for this" She hugs Madeline tighter to her chest. "This is going to make this so much harder"

Santana nods. "I tried to get Q to take reason, but you were not meant to see them. This one had to come and get a hug" Stepping forward, Santana realises she has to end this now, before Quinn breaks out of her reverie and comes and snogs Rachel. Hooking her hands under Madeline's arms she attempts to unlock her from her mothers embrace.

"No Santi" Madeline shouts.

"Yes baby girl. Please" At the sounds of her aunt saying please, Madeline lets go and both Santana and Rachel have a tough time seeing the tears running down her face. "This was not meant to happen Rach. I'm sorry. Say bye baby girl"

"Bye mama" Madeline whispers before burying her head in Santana's neck and sobbing. Santana squeezes Rachel's shoulder and walks back towards Quinn who is standing there still in shock, not knowing quite what to do.

"This is why we should not have done this Quinn. Look at Rachel, look at Madeline. Are you happy now? Just to see her one more time?" Quinn snaps out of her reverie and realises what has just happened.

"Mad, oh god. Baby come here" Quinn picks up her daughter from Santana's arms and holds her as tight to her as possible. Kissing her cheek, she gets into the back of Santana's car and buckles in her daughter. Leaning her head back on the seat she lets out tears, realising how much harm what just happened could have on Madeline. She realises now, it won't stop the cries, it'll just make them louder and will make it harder for Madeline to be calmed down.

September 3rd 2012

Quinn is finally in her first class at Harvard. She had travelled down to Boston with Santana, Brittany, Puck, Artie and of course Madeline last weekend and absolutely loved where she and the girls would be living about 20 minutes away from the main college campus. Quinn sits down in her first class and tries to stop her hands from shaking. She's nervous, very nervous. She had just put Maddie into her day care centre and thanks god that her daughter went in with no qualms and made a friend straight away. Quinn knew that if Maddie had put up a fight, then she would have wrapped her 2 year old year into her arms and taken her back home.

A girl sits down next to her in class and smiles at her. Quinn smiles back however her nerves stop her from saying anything. The girl smiles and holds out her hand for Quinn to shake.

"Hi. I'm Carrie" the girl says. Quinn smiles and shakes the hand.

"Quinn. Are you studying Interior Design as well?" Carrie nods and leans back in her chair looking around the large seminar room.

"Yup. Which halls are you in?"

"I'm not" Carrie looks shocked. "I live with my friends in a flat outside the campus. They are both at UMass"

"Where are you from?" Carrie asks.

"I'm from Lima, Ohio."

"Ahh a small town girl then? I'm a Manhattan girl myself." Quinn's heart squeezes at the sound of the place where the love of her life had gone to college.

"Cool. A couple of my friends went to New York. Sorry I'm so nervous" Carrie laughs and leans over and squeezes Quinn's hand.

"Don't worry. I am as well" Quinn's phone interrupts her and apologises before answering it when she sees it is Puck.

"Hey baby mama. How did she get on?" Puck asks over the phone. Quinn chuckles at his nervous father room.

"Maddie's fine Puck. Don't worry about her. She made a friend straight away. I lost her within 2 minutes" Puck sighs and she can hear him smiling. Puck was now training to be a cop at an academy in Boston. It was always his dream and he wanted to do a job that Madeline would be proud of him for later in life. Plus he had the muscle for it, and thought it was a definite way to get the ladies.

"That's my girl. Good luck with your first day Quinn" She smiles.

"You too Puck. No punching anyone at the academy"

"Ruin my fun baby mama. I better get going. See you"

"Bye" She hangs up the phone and turns to see Carrie smiling at her. "Sorry about that. It's one of my friends I moved down with"

"Not a boyfriend then?" Quinn coughs and shakes her head.

"No. Oh god never again" Carrie looks confused. "I have a child with him. Madeline. He was a mistake but she wasn't"

"You have a child?" Nod "How old is she?"

"She's a terrible two. She's in day care just down the block"

"That's pretty amazing having a kid and doing this course as well" Quinn shrugs. She has been told this too many times to count now. She doesn't find it amazing, she's doing it to make a better life for her little girl.

December 24th 2012

Quinn is laying down on the couch with a sleeping Madeline on her chest. Santana and Brittany are making dinner tonight so are laughing about in the kitchen whilst Puck is sat there laughing. Artie is talking to Carrie who is smiling at the sight of her now best friend and her daughter.

Carrie was immediately brought into the group as soon as the rest of them met her, she was fine with Quinn's sexuality, especially when she found out about Rachel and how much Quinn had been through. The girl had even begun to develop a crush on Quinn, however knew that Quinn was not even slightly over Rachel yet, so making a move right now, would probably end up with her losing her friendship.

Quinn stirs when Brittany lets out a loud laugh in the kitchen, and groans when she feels her little girl on top of her. She kisses her baby girls beautiful hair which wakes her up softly.

"Mommy?" The gorgeous little toddler questions and then smiles. "I was dweeming about mama"

Quinn's eyes fill with tears and she looks over to Carrie who smiles sweetly at her. Rachel was always on her mind and she had been trying her hardest to make sure that Madeline didn't forget her mama. "Yeah? What was mama doing in the dream baby?"

"She twas dancing. She was ere for Cwistmas and was dancing with Santa" Quinn lets out a laugh at her daughter's imagination.

"Oh yeah? What did mommy say about mama dancing with Santa?" Quinn smiles especially when the song 'I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus' comes into her head.

Maddie's face turns into a scowl as she remembers her dream. "You were angwy, daddy was being silly and was Santa" Well that's ruined all future ideas of getting Puck to dress up as Santa. "You hit him and told him off"

"Oh did I? Did you like the dream sweetie?"

The little girl smiles brightly and nods her head up and down. "I got to see mama again" She bites her bottom lip and looks up to the ceiling in thought. Her eyes come back down to Quinn and tears fill them. "Do you tink she misses me mommy?" Quinn lets her tears fall and kisses her baby on the forehead.

"I do baby. I know she does. Come on, let's go help out you Aunt Santana and Brittany in the kitchen" She turns around and sees that the girls are giggling in each other's arms in the kitchen. Sitting up she lifts up her little girl before walking into the kitchen.

July 18th 2013

After Christmas, Carrie had made her move on Quinn. Quinn was delighted as she had, had a small crush on the other woman, however the relationship from the beginning was doomed. Carrie knew all about Rachel, and was obscenely jealous of the diva even though she had never met her. She knew she would never be able to compete and due to this, arguments ensued and their relationship barely made it a few months. It was a shame, as Carrie was a fantastic friend to Quinn before and now she wouldn't even look at the blonde.

Quinn and Santana are now laying on the blanket that Quinn had brought for the picnic that they were currently having. Katie, Quinn's girlfriend at the moment was lying against her with a book in her hands.

This was Quinn's first girlfriend since the break-up with Carrie, she's slept with one person after the break-up but this is the first real relationship she's had. Katie is very pretty, but as Santana says, looks so much like Rachel that it freaks her out sometimes. The only difference is, Katie has died her head flaming red.

Out in front of them, Puck & Brittany are playing with 3 year old Madeline who is really enjoying the attention. The one thing Quinn is struggling with at the moment, is that Katie never seems to bother about playing with her daughter, if that was Rachel she'd be out there making sure her little girl was laughing all day long.

Maddie comes running back towards Quinn and dives into her arms, kicking Katie in the process. The little girl apologies profusely but all Katie could do was grunt at her. Santana gives her a look to say get rid of the Rachel look-a-like already. "Mommy?" Quinn smiles at the little girl in her arms, living her closer to her. "Can I have ice cream? Daddy and Aunt Bwitt say I have to ask you."

The little girl was looking adorable today. She was wearing a T-Shirt that said 'I love Daddy' on it and some converse trainers that Santana HAD to buy when she was shopping one afternoon. She nods "Just this once baby girl"

Maddie smiles and gives her father the thumbs up sign and he and Brittany smile before walking off to get the little girl an ice cream. Maddie crawls off Quinn when she sees Katie giving her a look and crawls into her Aunt's embrace instead. Santana hugs the little girl tightly and kisses the top of her head. Santana from day one was besotted with the little girl in her arms. She thought she'd always be a terrible mother, but she knew she was good with Maddie so it made it all that easier to think about kids.

"Aunt San?"

"Si mija" Santana says and Madeline smiles brightly when she recognises the phrase. Santana had asked Quinn if she could teach Madeline Spanish as the little blonde had been soaking in these phrases that Santana comes out with like a sponge.

"Are you and Aunt Bwitt together?" Santana coughs in shock and Quinn lets out a little chuckle covering her mouth when Santana glares at her.

Santana stutters over her words. "I... why are you asking mija?"

"You two alwaysss kiss" She chuckles "But then you don't have dates like mama & mommy used to" Her bottom lip falls forward at the memory of her mama. "Mommy, intro... introwd..." She looks to her mother for help. For a three year old, her English was fantastic. She was above everyone at nursery and Quinn was very proud of her.

"Introduced baby"

"You to Katie as Bwitt's girlffwiend and you fweaked" Quinn sits up to stop her little girl from going too far and angering the Latina.

"Baby girl"

Santana holds up her hand to stop Quinn and adjusts Madeline on her lap. "No she has a right to ask Quinn" She looks at the little girl. "We're not together mija. Not like that at the moment, but I'd like to be" Madeline smiles brightly at this and Quinn looks at her friend in shock. Santana and Brittany had been having this thing for nearly 5 years now, and it is only when her baby girl asks that she finally answers.

If only Rachel was here now, she would be loving this moment. Thinking of her ex she looks down at the woman in her eyes and closes them tightly, knowing being with someone who looked like Rachel was not good for her, and not good for Madeline.

"Ask her out" Madeline states. Santana stares at the little girl in her arms and nods, kissing the top of her head.

"How did you get so smart mija?"

"Mommy of course"

Santana & Quinn laugh at that. Santana hugs the little girl tighter and messes with her long blonde tresses. Puck comes back with 4 ice creams and Brittany is holding two. Leaning down he hands his daughter one, and then gives on to Santana, and then one for Quinn. Brittany hands her other one to Katie and they all sit down on the picnic blanket, just enjoying being together in the sun.

Once they have all finished their ice creams, Santana whispers in Maddie's ear and the child jumps up and sits on her father's lap making him smile. "Britt"

The ditsy blonde turns around and stares at her lover. "Yeah" Santana crawls over the small space and sighs, looking into her girls eyes she smiles and leans forward and kisses her deeply.

"Will you be my girlfriend Brittany?" Brittany looks immediately confused.

"Aren't you already my girlfriend?"

"No" Brittany looks away in sadness "I want to be though. What do you say?" Brittany nods and turns her head back to the girl.

"Are you sure we're not already? I'm so confused"

"Britt!"

Brittany nods and smiles and leans forward to kiss her 'girlfriend'. "I'll be your girlfriend. So is sex dating?" Santana and Quinn laugh at that.

"It is now. You can only be with me now babe. You okay with that?"

Brittany smiles and nods. "I love you. Of course" Before leaning into kiss Santana again. Puck & Quinn clap but Katie just looks on with boredom, not quite understanding Brittany's weird mind. Quinn points at her little girl and chuckles.

"My daughter the matchmaker everyone" Madeline smiles brightly, not that she understood what matchmaker means but everyone chuckles and smiles at her. Maddie walks over to her mom and asks for a cuddle. Quinn looks down at Katie, expecting her to move, and sighs when she doesn't. Moving rather abruptly, she stands up, picking up her three year old in the process and spinning her around in the air. Grabbing Puck's hand she pulls him out to the playground, so they can play with their child.

Santana turns to Katie who is looking at the couple in confusion. "You do know she's preparing to dump you tonight right?"

"What?" the red head says looking shocked.

"After the way you treat Madeline I'm surprised you are still here. You might as well go now" Katie looks at her in shock, and then huffs and packs her bags. She walks away and Quinn looks over in shock, but when she sees Santana's smirk as she holds Brittany she smiles, knowing her best friend has just done her job for her.

Santana Lopez is now in a relationship with Brittany
-15 people like this
-Quinn Fabray bloody about time. Does Britt actually have a last name?
-Santana Lopez of course she does, it's... Wait, Britt why don't you have your last name on here?
-Brittany doesn't know. How do I add my name Santana?
-Quinn Fabray I'll show you later babe. San got me to set up her FaceBook. She's technically challenged.
-Brittany huh?

May 15th 2014

Quinn and Puck are sat at the bar in the kitchen area, watching their 4 year old play with some of her friends from her child care. She was 4 today, and Puck & Quinn couldn't believe they had come this far, and how amazing their child was.

It was very obvious Madeline was a bright child, her speech, well some days she sounded like a mini Rachel she was so eloquent. She was well above her peers, but never put them down for it. She was a delightful child, she had inherited Quinn's big heart, and luckily so far, none of her HBIC had come out. She was pretty bad ass in Puck's eyes though, she was able to manipulate people very well and had pretty much everyone under her thumb. They all loved her though, especially the woman holding her at the moment, Brittany.

"We're parents to a 4 year old" Puck states in shock. Quinn just chuckles and nods at the side of him.

"I know. It's pretty amazing isn't it? She's turn out amazing as well. Especially with your genes in her" Puck plays slaps her on the arm.

"Hey. I do know what you mean though, she's an angel. She won't have it in her to be HBIC or Bad Ass which I'm so pleased about" They smile when they hear her going into one of her little rants, which always made Quinn's heart ache for Rachel as she sounded so much like the little diva. As always she thinks to what her ex would be doing right now, she can imagine her just sat in her apartment, singing a song to their daughter. Shaking her head, she smiles at Puck who is looking at her with a weird look in his eyes.

"What?"

"You made a mistake loosing Rach you know?" She sighs and nods slightly.

"I know. Oh god I know. I should have fought for her. I think about her every second of everyday"

"I can imagine. You two were made for each out Fabray. Even if half of us couldn't see it until you got together" She smiles and hugs him to her.

"You know, Maddie's forgotten her"

"What?" He shakes his head. He knows that's not true as the little girl asks about her all the time. "We talk about her all the time"

"She said she can't remember now and asks for stories about her every now and then. She's her mother Puck and her child doesn't know her. It's not right" Puck looks at the woman under his arm sadly.

"Only 2 more years Quinn and you can go and find her. You, she and Maddie can be a family again"

"Puck it's been 2 years, she's probably found someone by now" Puck shakes his head, wondering if he should tell her the next piece of information.

"Quinn? Rachel's not seeing anyone. She's not really dated anyone since you broke up" Quinn turns to him in shock wondering how he knows this. "Mike, he's friends with her on FaceBook. I know she blocked all of us lot, but he gives me updates every now and then." Quinn turns to him to see if he is telling the truth, she lets a few tears fall, and pulls him into a hug.

"Did he, did he tell you anymore?"

"She's currently on an off Broadway production. It's not big budgeted but she seems to love it. She has no time for relationships. She lives with Kurt. Mercedes is in the flat opposite." Quinn hugs him tighter, finally feeling the weight off her chest, after finding out the love of her life is happy.

"Thank you for telling me" He sighs and looks at her and nods.

"Quinn, he text me earlier, saying she put on her FaceBook... here let me show you" He takes his phone out and she looks at it and almost crumbles from the emotion she feels.

She begins to read the text.

'I want to wish a very happy birthday to my baby girl today. I can't not express how much I miss you. Love you forever sweetheart. Ma'

"Oh my god. I have to contact her. " Quinn says reaching for her own phone.

"No Quinn, you chose to break up. If you contact her you'll just go through more heartbreak" She nods understanding what he's talking about and leans her head on his chest, when an idea comes to her.

"Is Mike coming for your birthday in July?" He nods "Maybe we could convince him to put some pictures up of me and Maddie, showing we're happy and healthy. I know if I was her, I would want it" Puck smiles at his baby mama, he nods and kisses her forehead before going to his baby girl.

July 27th 2014

Rachel sighs after another long day at work, she was now staring on an off Broadway show, in between still trying to get her degree at Julliard and she was getting so tired. She turns on her computer, to see if she has any messages and pops on FaceBook as well only to see pictures that Mike Chang has just uploaded.

Her heart explodes in her chest when she sees a beautiful shot of Quinn and Madeline. Madeline is standing up straight, a big wide goofy smile on her face, two of her teeth missing and Quinn is stood behind her, her chin on her shoulder and her arms around her body again smiling. Rachel clicks onto the next pictures and smiles at the sight of her old family.

The next picture that stops her is one of Santana holding Madeline on her left hip, whilst Quinn is under her right arm. The three of them are smiling at the camera brightly, making Rachel smile.

The last picture is one of Madeline and her parents, Puck is saying something to the camera, and Quinn & Madeline are both just about to smack him on the back of her head.

She lets the tears fall and likes the last picture, hoping it'll get back to Quinn somehow that she's watching. She goes back to her Wall and sees that Mike has a new status up.

'Mike Chang had a great weekend at Puck's 20th with Tina Cohen-Chang, Quinn Fabray, Santana Lopez, Brittany Pierce, Artie Abrams, Puckasaurus and of course the ever cute Maddie Fabray.'

She sees the link to her ex-girlfriends page, and can't help but click on it. It brings her to her page, and she sees that her Wall is private, however she is able to see pictures of her.

She smiles when she sees a whole album dedicated 2010-2012 the time that they were together. Clicking on it she sees around 150 pictures of the Glee club, and around 40 of them being her and Quinn. Maddie appears throughout, making Rachel smile.

Looking through the other albums, she finally gets to see pictures of Madeline throughout the last 2 years. She can't believe how much that beautiful little girl looks like her mother. Her heart breaks when she realizes that she is missing out on her life. Saving the picture of Quinn, Puck & Maddie to her desktop wall, she turns off the computer before curling into a ball on the couch, wondering if she'll ever feel complete again.

November 25th 2014

Quinn and Madeline are standing outside the big house, Quinn holding tightly onto her hand. Quinn had come back with Puck and the girls for thanksgiving and had decided to come and see if she could sort things out about her parents.

"Mommy?"

3 year old Madeline looks around in confused at the giant house in front of her. Quinn bends down and scoops Madeline off the ground and into her arms. Smiling at her beautiful baby girl, she kisses her cheek.

"Baby, if you hear shouting. I want you to cover your ears for me" She smiles "Can you do that for me?" Madeline shows her mom that she can do it. "Good girl. You're going to meet your Grandma Today sweetheart" Madeline smiles at this and nods.

"Awesome"

Quinn smiles and knocks on the door in front of her. She sees a female figure open the door. Judy Fabray is stood in front of her, shock covering her features. Her knees give way and she holds onto the door for support. Her hand covers her mouth in shock and tears begin to fall down her face.

Quinn puts Madeline down on her feet and steps forward to embrace the older woman. Quinn brings her arms around the woman who has not been in her life for the last 5 years. Judy smiles and pulls back to look at the little girl on the floor. Quinn bends down and picks up Maddie again, so she's eye height with the two women.

"Baby I want you to meet your grandmother" Madeline smiles at the older woman. "Mom, meet Madeline Sofia Fabray. My baby girl" Judy smiles at the little girl.

"It's very nice to meet you Madeline"

"Say hello to your Grandma, Munchkin"

Madeline waves. "Heya" Judy opens the door wider to let them in.

"Come on in" They follow her in and she starts to try and tidy up the already immaculate room. "Please take a seat" Quinn pops Madeline down on the couch and gives her IPod to play with knowing it'll keep the hyper child occupied for a little bit. "Can I get you a drink Quinn?"

"I'm fine mom. Thank you"

Judy smiles at her daughter who looks so grown up now. It's amazing how much nearly 5 years has done to the girl. "God I have missed you calling me that. I'm so sorry for everything that happened Quinn. I had to keep you away from him though, he had me trapped but you... you had a way to get out with Madeline" Quinn nods and smiles.

"I know. I do. Is he here?" She asks looking around. Judy shakes her head with a sad smile.

"I kicked him to the curb last year. We're still trying to work through things but he is finding it impossible to change. What about you sweetheart? Are you still in Lima?" Quinn shakes her head.

"No. I'm in Boston, Massachusetts now" Judy looks amazed. "I'm actually studying at Harvard"

"My daughter got into Harvard?" Nod "I'm so pleased Quinn. What are you studying?"

"Interior Design but I've found a passion for photography"

"How old is she now?"

"Four now"

"She is the spitting images of you at that age, just as beautiful" Quinn smiles at this.

"She's really smart. They're even talking about putting her up a year and into school now. I'm trying to keep her back so she's with people of her own age" Judy nods.

"Good choice. Are you happy Quinn? Are you seeing someone?" Quinn shakes her head and her mind goes to Rachel.

"I was with someone whilst I was here in Lima. Since we ended I haven't really had anyone special. We had to break up as she was going to Julliard and I went to Harvard. Worst mistake I've ever made" Quinn closes her eyes when she realises she said she.

"She?" Nod "You're gay?" Quinn nods and swallows deeply.

"I am. Bi actually" She sighs "I loved Rachel with my whole heart mom. Maddie knew her as her mama. I know you don't approve but to be honest, she made me happier than I've ever been in my whole life. She gave me the courage to keep Madeline"

Judy nods and smiles at her daughter and granddaughter. "We actually thought you had given her up for adoption. You were just a child yourself"

Quinn smiles and nods. "I was, but I'm a good mom. Right Maddie?" She looks at the little girl who is more intrigued with the game on the IPod rather than the conversation in front of her. She does hear that statement though. She nods.

"The best"

"So you're not with this Rachel now?"

Quinn shakes her head sadly, looking down at the floor. "I haven't seen her in two years. We both hurt each other, but I think I'll always love her"

"Where are you staying? I would love it if I could get to know my 20 year old daughter and my granddaughter"

"I'm staying round at Santana's house. I'm sure she won't mind bringing out stuff over in a bit. Or she'll just get Puck to do it for her"

"Your still friends with that girl then? Puck?"

"Mom I know you've never approved of her but she's Madeline's god mother and protects her with everything she has. She's at a college in Boston studying law and yes Puck, Maddie's father" Judy nods. She never quite liked that boy either.

"She was always so violent. Other than that she seemed like a nice girl. Is she still 'friends' with that Brittany girl?" Quinn laughs when she sees her mother do the air quotes to describe the relationship between Santana and Brittany.

Quinn nods. "The four of us actually share an apartment. They're together, as in that way now" She air quotes to make her mom realise in what way. "Santana finally got her head out of ass and asked her out"

"Mommy?"

Quinn turns to her baby girl and sees that she's trying to keep up with the conversation but is struggling. Lifting her up, she places her on her lap and kisses her temple and ruffles her hair a little bit trying to get her blond curls to lay flat.

"You're a good mother Quinn, much better than I was when I had Dylan" Quinn swallows at the mention of her sister, after the cruel words she said to Quinn when she brought Madeline home from the hospital, Quinn has forgot completely about her older sister.

"Do you still talk to Dylan?"

"No. I'm afraid... I stood up for you. It's why you're father isn't here now as well. They sat here being overly mean about you and I wasn't having it" Quinn smiles hearing that her mother stood up for her. "She's not talked to me since. Can I hug her?" Quinn smiles and nods "Only if she wants to of course..." Quinn turns to her little girl not before telling her mom to be quiet.

"Baby, do you wanna go and give your Grandma a hug?"

Madeline's eyes light up and she looks up at her mother with a smile on her face. "Can I?"

"Course baby girl. Any time you want" Helping her off her lap, Maddie runs the short distance to her Grandma and stands in front of her smiling at the woman. Judy gently picks her up and wraps her arms around her only grandchild.

"You are so beautiful little girl. So quiet as well. Nothing like you were at this age" Quinn laughs at this. Her daughter was hyper, and not usually this quiet.

"She can be quiet, but most of the time she is loud and very hyper. She's a very touchy feely child though, she loves to be held, to give hugs. We've had to curb that a little bit as she'll literally hug anyone" Judy laughs at this and runs her hand through her granddaughter's curls.

"Well you can hug me anytime you want sweetheart"

Quinn smiles and fishes her phone out of her pocket and sees a text from Santana asking how it's going. She then decides to take a picture whilst she has her phone out. "Uh mom? Do you mind if I take a picture... its sort... I wanna try and save this memory"

Judy nods and wraps her arms around her grandchild smiling at her. Quinn snaps the picture on her phone and immediately saves it as her background. Pressing the correct buttons on her phone she sends the picture to Santana whilst asking if she wouldn't mind bringing their stuff over here. "You're pretty. Just like mommy"

"Why thank you sweetie. I hear you are a very smart little girl" Maddie nods.

"They want me to gow to school now. But mommy say I am too little. I want to stay with my fwiends though"

"Good for you. Have you ever seen pictures of your mommy when she was younger?" Maddie's face lights up and she shakes her head. Quinn can see her daughter immediately relax with her mother and smiles capturing another picture on her phone. Judy turns to look at her daughter smirking.

"You're going to have to get used to it"

"Mommy takes pwitches all the time. It's her thang" Quinn chuckles and stands up and ruffles her little girl's hair.

"Are the photo albums in the same place as they used to be?" Judy nods and Quinn walks up the first flight of stairs to the bookcase and takes out the photo album labelled 1994-1998. Walking back down the stairs, she hands the photo album to her mom and sits down beside her to have a look at some of the pictures.

"Mommy is that you? You look just like me. Who is that girl?" Quinn looks up and catches her mother's eyes, knowing she'll probably have to tell Madeline about Dylan some day, why not today.

"That's my sister sweetheart. Me and her don't get along though"

"Oh ok. Is that Aunt Santi? She was cooote" Quinn looks closer and then laughs when she sees the 5 year old version of Santana.

20 minutes have passed and Quinn hears and knock on the door, and realises that it's probably Santana bringing her stuff over. Walking to the door, she opens it and sees Brittany holding her stuff, whilst Santana walks in scouring the room.

"Britt what is she doing?"

"Looking for your dad. She thinks you might be scared of him and that's why you are staying" Quinn smiles and shakes her head.

"Hello Santana. Brittany" Judy comes over with Madeline in her arms. "It's good to see you again. I can assure you that Russell has not been near this house in a year. I wouldn't let him near Quinn or Madeline don't worry" Santana nods and looks at Madeline in her grandma's arms.

"Oh cool. Mad's, you okay dude?" Maddie smiles at her Aunt.

"Pwerfect San. This is my Gwanma"

"Nice to meet you Gwanma" Brittany says seriously making Judy look at Quinn trying to work out if she was joking. Santana grabs Brittany's arm first though.

"We better get going Britt. Here's your stuff Q. If you need us Quinn we can be here in 5" Quinn nods and opens the door for her friends.

Quinn sits down on the end of the couch that her mother is currently sat on and just looks at her mother who's not been in her life for nearly 5 years now. She has just got Madeline down to bed and was ready to talk to her mom.

"So..."

"Quinn before you say anything... I need you to know I'm so sorry for the way I treated you. I was terrified of that man however I still loved him for some strange and horrible reason. It wasn't until he and Dylan started to be horrible that I realised I didn't have to be scared" Quinn smiles at this. "I might not have you in my life anymore but I wasn't go and stand for that".

"Thank you. I hate to say it though, but you and dad throwing me out was the best thing that happened to me. I stayed at Puck's until I was 8 months pregnant. I would have never have got up the courage to tell Rachel I liked her, I would have never have moved into her home. It worked out this way because you threw me out, so in a way I should say thank you." Judy chuckles and shakes her head.

"You know I got a visit from your grandmother when Madeline must have been about 3 months old. I've never been terrified of my mother until then"

Quinn nods and smiles sadly. "Apparently you two don't talk anymore?" Judy nods and looks away.

"She was disgusted with me and told Russell if he went anywhere near you, she would murder him and bury him so well they'll never find him" Quinn lets out a loud laugh at this knowing her Nana would have meant this as well. "He was slightly scared. Your grandmother is very protective over you"

Quinn smiles and looks at her mother. "She was brilliant mom. She helped me with money, despite the fact that it took her about a month to get me to accept it. I got myself a car, I hired a nanny for Maddie whilst I was at school and when me and Rachel broke up she let me move in with her. She was my rock"

"I'm glad Quinn. You have done an amazing job with that little girl. She's delightful. Really"

"Thanks. She is my pride and joy. I love her so much"

"Can I ask why if you loved Rachel so much, why didn't you go to New York with her or her back to Boston with you?"

"If you knew Rachel you'd know the answer to the latter. She was meant to go to Julliard, we all knew she'd get accepted. I originally applied to one college in New York, then UCLA and Harvard. I got into the other two, however, Harvard were so pleased with my entrance essay that they were willing to give me full scholarship and free day-care for Madeline whilst I was in lessons"

"Oh"

Quinn nods and looks at the clock and is amazed at the time. "I had to take it. It was the best possible education I could get, and it would work the best for Madeline. I really wanted to do the long distance thing, but Rae was adamant against it. It was a tough break up, and I do regret it as no one will ever compare. Sorry"

"Please don't apologise. I'm happy that you are happy. I'm so happy you came here today" Quinn smiles.

"Me too mom. Me too. I better get off to bed. I'm knackered. Night mom" She leans down and kisses her mother's cheek and walks up to bed with the biggest smile on her face that she's had in the last 2 years.

January 4th 2015

Kurt walks into the apartment he shares with Rachel Berry pretty sure that he'll find the diva curled up in bed, looking through a photo album or two. It's how he left her this morning, and he's sure she hasn't done anything else all day since.

Walking into her bedroom he sees he is correct, but she is just staring at one picture in particular, the one taken about a week before they broke up on Maddie's 2nd birthday.

"My god you're really still staring at that picture aren't you?"

"She'll be 21 today"

"God I can't believe you're hung up on someone you broke up with 3 years ago. It's bordering on pathetic Rachel" She sighs and nods her head and looks up to him with tears in her eyes.

"I know, I know. I do. I know it was our choice, but I love her Kurt. So damn much"

"It's been 3 years Rach. She's probably turned back into the old Quinn, the one that was one of the most evil motherfuckers I've ever met" Rachel glares at him for his swear word, but shakes her head, making sure he knows that he is wrong.

"You're wrong. She has Madeline now Kurt, she wouldn't go back to the way she was. I'm sure of it" Mercedes walks into the room and sighs at the sight of the diva in the bed, moping over her ex.

"Girl we need to get you a date" Kurt chuckles at the comment but Rachel glares at him.

"What?"

"Is there not anyone at Julliard that has taken your fancy? Anyone? Male, female, Monkey, anyone?" She sits down on the bed next to her good friend.

"No"

"Liar. Rach, you need to try and be with someone else. Don't worry we know about all of the blond men and women you've slept with over the last 3 years, how many is it now?"

"At least 12 that she has brought back here. We don't know about the ones that have taken her back to their place"

"Stop it please"

"Rachel we love you, we want to see you happy. Crying over a picture of your ex and her daughter"

"My daughter. I raised her as well. I still think of her as mine" Mercedes nods.

"I know hot mama. Come on you need to find someone. A proper relationship" She nods, knowing that they are actually right.

February 1st 2015

Kurt is sat at the dining table, and smiles when he sees a happy Rachel Berry walk in. She gives him a one arm hug before sitting down opposite him and digging into the meal that he made her. "How's it going with Alex?"

She gives a proper smile to him, which makes his heart sore, for the first time in 3 years, she was properly smiling. "Good, Good. Really good. We slept together for the first time last night" Kurt blanches at this, really not wanting to hear about his best friend's sex life. He chuckles and she smiles along with him. Alex was a young man in her class at Julliard, he was handsome, and adored Rachel and her friends thought he was perfect for her.

"He's good for you Rach"

"I know. I think I've met my match"

"Hey, I thought I was your match diva Berry" She chuckles at this.

"You are Kurtie. You are. Thank you for pushing me"

"It's good to see you smiling babe. Real good. So how's school?"

May 15th 2015

Alex walks into Rachel's apartment with the key she gave him a few months ago. He sees her sat on the couch staring a picture with tears running down her face. Looking closer it seems like the picture has been printed off the internet. Knowing that she still hasn't noticed his presence, he sits down next to her and sees she's crying over a small blond child.

"Who is she Rach?"

Rachel comes out of her reverie to look at her boyfriend in shock. Kurt & Mercedes told her not to tell him about Quinn & Maddie as he would know then he'd never be able to live up. "She's no one don't worry"

She scrunches up the picture and throws it in the trash, knowing she can print out another one later. She had a look on Quinn's FaceBook today and was glad she kept her pictures public, so Rachel could look through them. She saw this gorgeous picture of Maddie on her 5th birthday this morning and printed it out for herself.

Alex stands up and picks up the piece of paper, and straightens it out again. Looking to his girlfriend his heart breaks when he sees her crying.

"Babe, you can tell me anything. You know that right. Tell me who she is"

"Her name is Madeline Fabray. She is... was my daughter" Alex looks at her in shock and looks back down to the picture and sees no resemblance between his girlfriend and this little girl.

"Now that I wasn't expecting. Rae she looks nothing like you" She chuckles and nods.

"I didn't give birth to her. My girlfriend in High School did. I raised her as my own with Quinn until we left for College. I haven't seen her in 3 years. Today would have been her 5th Birthday." Alex looks down at the picture again, he's heard Kurt, Mercedes and Rachel talking about Quinn, but always assumed it was an ex-boyfriend or something, he wasn't prepared for Quinn to be a girl, and to be his girlfriends ex.

"Your bi then" She nods. "Babe don't look so scared, I'm not going to leave you. Why didn't you tell me about her babe?" She looks at him wondering how much she should say, deciding that she probably has ruined it already she leans back into the couch.

"I didn't tell you because every time I talk about her I end up a mess in tears. I was depressed, very depressed before I found you. I haven't seen my family, her and her mother in 3 years. My heart felt broken; it still does in a way."

"Do you still love her? Be honest Rach"

"I think I always will. Imagine two girls instead of Romeo & Juliet, except the dying our relationship was explosive as that was"

"Why don't you still see her... your daughter still?" Rachel closes her eyes tightly and imagines her little girl smiling in her arms, after Rachel has just given her, her present.

"Me & Quinn decided that if we were going to break up, we wouldn't be able to stay in contact. It pretty much split up our friends. Half of us went to Boston or stayed with that group of people and then the rest of us came to New York."

"So you have no contact what so ever" She shakes her head.

"Nope. I miss them so much Al" He leans over and hugs her tightly into his arms, wondering what he was going to do. Could he be with someone that loved another so completely? She wasn't in the picture, but he'll always have to compete with her. Rachel had been so happy in the last few months though, he wasn't going to ruin that for her.

November 18th 2015

"I'm going to propose" Quinn looks over in shock.

"Oh my god. Are you serious?" Santana nods "You Santana Lopez are proposing to Brittany Pierce?" She walks towards the window and starts looking around curiously.

"What are you doing?"

"Seeing if pigs really do fly" Santana laughs and walks over and smacks her best friend on the arm, before looking out at their dull view in Boston. She then pulls a jewellery box out of her jeans pocket and hands it to Quinn, Quinn opens the box and comes face to face with a ring with the most beautiful diamond she's ever seen in it. "Bloody hell San. This must have cost you a bomb. How did you afford it?"

"Mami gave it to me when I was down last. It was my grandmothers, and she thinks that Brittany would wear this perfectly. What do you think?"

"I think that Brittany is a very lucky woman"

"I'm glad you think that" Santana smiles brightly "I hope she does too"

"How are you going to do it?"

"Her birthday"

December 8th 2015

Santana hovers over her girlfriend with a smile on her face. She kisses over her face trying to wake her up. "Baby. Wake up"

"Do I have ta?" Brittany replies tiredly.

"Don't you want your birthday presents baby?" Brittany jumps awake sitting up in bed.

"Yes. Give me. Give me"

"Cheeky wench" She kisses her deeply. "That was number one"

Brittany scrunches up her nose. "I get that every day. That's not a birthday present" Santana chuckles.

"First things first, let's go have a bath babe. Come on, it's all done, just the way you like it" She stands out of bed and then lifts her girlfriend up and takes her into the bathroom.

Santana is laying in the bubbly bath with Brittany between her legs, Brittany is giggling like normal especially at the fact Santana keeps tickling her in the water. "Good birthday so far?" Brittany nods.

"Presents will make it even better"

Santana nods and laughs. "Yeah I guess. I have a present for you in here tough. Can you get Mr ducky?"

Brittany leans forward and picks up the duck that she's only allowed to use when she's in the bath alone. She lays back down and places him in front of her and giggles at the sight of him. Santana watches her girl carefully for the moment when she finds the ring. It takes Brittany awhile, but she finally does find the ring tied around its neck with string, looking up at Santana with confused eyes, Santana nods egging Brittany on to have a closer look.

Brittany lifts up the duck and sees a ring with a huge rock on it, she fumbles with the loose knot on the string, and pulls off the ring, careful not to drop it in the bath water. Santana's hand covers hers and takes away the ring, holding it in her right hand and picking up Brittany's left hand with hers.

"Do you know what this is baby?"

Brittany nods. "A ring"

"Britt, I think I've loved you since we were 5 years old. You have been my best friend, my confidant, my everything since then and I can't imagine my life without you in it. I know it took a long time for me to stop being afraid but... I'm not anymore, I love you and I'll scream it from the roof of this building if you ask me to. I know we're only 21 and it might be a little young, but to be honest, I don't give two shits. Britt, my love, will you be my wife and marry me?"

"You're proposing?" Santana nods. "In a bathtub?" nod. "Oh... OK"

"Britt baby, was that a yes?"

"Oh yes. Cool"

Santana sighs in frustration and tips Brittany's face to look at her.

"Brittany do you wanna marry me?"

Brittany nods with a smile. "Of course I do. It's just... you proposed in a bath tub. I just expected something a little more romantic, like in the movies."

"I thought this was romantic. We've got candles, you're in my arms, in the best part of the house other than the bed. I'm sorry this... I'm sorry" Brittany's heart breaks when she sees her 'fiancée' looking so upset.

"Oh when you put it this way... it is... oh San please don't cry. I'm sorry, yes I'll marry you. I will. I love you."

"Are you sure?" Santana smiles.

"Yes. Can I have the ring?"

"Course baby" She laughs and kisses her. "I love you so much"

"I love you too"
