It was Always You

Authors Note: This is my first fanfic ever. I never thought I would even write one, cause I thought I couldn't do it justice. But, I've read so many lately, I thought I should give it a try. Quinntana is my second ship, and I noticed there isn't many FF dedicated to them. Before you read, I'd thought I should let you know a few things. Quinntana is end game, that I can promise. Also, I won't do cliffhangers (they bug me too) and I'll try to make the chapters long (also hate short chapters) I'll also apologize in advance for any mistakes I'll read the chapter over but, I might miss a few. Sorry for the long ramble, but thought I should clear that up.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters(but Mrs. Voice and some teachers) the rest belong to the wonderful, Ryan Murphy. Side note, let's show Ryan some love. He's been getting a lot of hate lately, and us Gleeks shouldn't be bullying the person who is the reason we even have this show. Anyway, I hope you like the story i'll try to update asap I'm already working on chapter three! Don't be shy, and please review I would love to "hear" what u think of the story(:

Chapter One: The Mall and Gossip

It's September in Lima, Ohio a small, typical town, where everyone knows everyone. Summer has ended, it's beginning to get cold, and all the kids in the neighborhood, along with their parents, are getting ready for school. A time where kids dread and parents welcome.

All except 7 year old, Quinn Fabray. She couldn't be anymore excited. This year she's going to be in first grade. That means a big kid bus, and no naps. Today she and her mom, Judy are going shopping for some new clothes and school supplies at the mall.

This has become Quinn's favorite activity with her mother. She doesn't get to do a lot with her, so she's very excited. The Fabray's are very known in the small town. Quinn's father, Russell Fabray, is a successful lawyer, everyone knows and loves him. Judy Fabray, is a stay at home mom, but is busy being the best wife to her husband, and his needs she tends to, forgetting she even has a daughter.

Since Russell's success, he made sure his family lived in a very privileged part of town. Not many people live there, but the ones that do, make sure it stays that way, and Russell Fabray is one of them. He wants nothing than the best for his small family.

Being in a very big house, Quinn has a fairly large sized room for a little girl. It has pink walls, her favorite color, a small twin size bed with pink bedding. Beside it, a night stand with a kids spinning lamp, with fish on it. A walk in closet to the right of the bed, and a small bathroom, to the left a vanity and dresser. In front of the bed, is a small trunk with her dress up clothes. Quinn loves to play dress up and being someone then herself.

On the front wall, is a large tv that she only watches in the morning, afternoon and evenings she's far too busy playing with her friends, Brittany, Rachel and Kurt. Being the same age as Quinn, they're very close, and recently found out will be in the same class as her with Miss. Sabina. Looking in her closet, Quinn is having difficulty looking for something to wear.

"Quinnie, are you ready yet, princess? I want to leave soon!" Judy calls from the bottom of the stairs.

"Mommy, I don't know what I want to wear!" Quinn wants, no needs to look perfect for their outing, always have to look like a prefect family for Russell.

"Do you want me to help look? I bet I can find something you'll like."

She was so busy finding something to wear, she hadn't realized her mother had came up the stairs, and is now standing in the door way.

Judy is in her mid thirties. It was hard getting pregnant with Quinn, but once she did she couldn't be more happy to find out it was a girl. She always wanted a girl to go shopping with, get their nails done together, the typical mother and daughter activities.

Though, she wished she could spend more time with her, but being a lawyers wife isn't easy. She has long wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. Always has to look perfect for her husband. Quinn also has blonde hair, but has hazel eyes, like her father.

Everyone always comments on how pretty little Quinn Fabrey is."Look at that little girl she is just so pretty. She is going to become a beautiful women when she's older." Russell would always tell her don't be rude and say "thank you."

He loves all the attention his little princess got at their daily outings to the country club, or to their family dinners every Friday at Breadstix. Quinn doesn't like it very much being shy and quite."But I'm a big girl now and want to pick out my own outfit."

After her 7th birthday, Russell had told Quinn that she wasn't a baby anymore, so she had to act like a big girl and do big girl things, like clean her room, and pick out her own outfit for the day.

"Honey, your father isn't here. I'm sure it'll be fine if I picked your outfit just this once." She looks at her mother very skeptically. She wants to believe her, but she wants to be a good girl and listen to what her father says.

"Are you sure?" She asks, tilting her head to the side.

"I'm positive."

Still uncertain, Quinn lets her anyway, cause she really wants to go to the mall and she can always trust her mom to pick out a perfect outfit. "Okay." Instead of going to her closet, Judy goes through her dresser and gets a pink short sleeve shirt, grey button up sweeter, and some jeans. "Mommy, daddy only likes it when I wear pretty dresses."

Kneeling down in front of Quinn, Judy puts her arm on her shoulder. "Daddy likes it when you wear pretty dresses in the summer. It's fall now, so he won't mind if you wear pants."

Quinn gives her another sceptaical look. "Are you sure, mom?"

Laughing a little at her daughters cute expression, Judy gives her little cheek a pinch. "I'm absolutely positive, my little princess. You don't want to be cold do you?" Standing up, Judy gives Quinn her clothes without an answer. "I'll be downstairs waiting, princess. Try not to be too long, mommy wants to leave soon."

Closing the door after her mother leaves, Quinn starts to get ready. After she's changed, she goes to her vanity to look for a "pretty" to put in her hair. It's really just a hair tie and a bow, but since Quinn was 3, she insisted on calling it a "pretty".

Looking through the draw, she finds the prefect pink "pretty" that matches her shirt. Putting her hair half way up, she clips the "pretty" in her hair, and looks in the mirror to make it perfect.

Quinn never really thought she was pretty like everyone says she is. She always thought her mother was, but not her. She hates that she has hazel eyes. She always loved brown eyes, like her friend Rachel.

Her long blonde straight hair gets knotty a lot, so she doesn't really like it either. She wanted to cut it once, but Russell wouldn't allow it. The only feature about her face that she seems to like, is her nose, it's small and cute.

Remembering her mom is still waiting for her, she goes down stairs. Judy is sitting in their large living room reading a book. Clearing her throat, she makes her presence known.

"Ready, princess?" Judy gets up from the couch, and heads for the coat hangers in the foyer.

"Yes. I can't wait to go shopping for school, mommy!"

After putting on their warm coats, Judy opens the door. Quinn runs for the car. Normally if Russell were with them, she would never dare run to the car, he would always tell her to stop acting like a child. But Quinn was too excited to care.

At the mall, Judy and Quinn walk around hand in hand looking for the Old Navy store to buy some new clothes. Quinn already has plenty of clothes for school but Judy likes to spoil her little princess. Half way to their destination, Mrs. Voice, a neighbor of theirs, notices them and walks up for a chat.

"Judy, is that you?"

Mrs. Voice is a few years older than Judy. She has medium length straight, brown hair and brown eyes. Just like Judy, she always makes sure she looks her best. Her husband, Mr. Voice is a doctor, heart surgeon. Quinn doesn't like her very much and her wanting to catch up with her mother isn't helping, she just wants to shop and have fun with her mom.

"Yeah, me and little Quinnie here are school shopping." Judy hugs Quinn to her side as she says little Quinnie.

"Well, isn't that nice." Looking Quinn up and down, she knows what's comming and she hates it she just wants to run away and shop. "Aren't you getting big and prettier every day. You should be a model."

Judy laughs at the comment. Quinn wants to roll her eyes, but knowing it's rude, and Fabray's are never rude, she decides against it. She just hides her face behind her moms leg instead.

"She still a little shy isn't she?"

Judy looks down at Quinn and rubbing her back, smiling. "Yeah she is, my princess."

"How precious. What grade is she in now?"

Still rubbing her back her eyes never leave Quinn. "First grade. She's so excited. That's why we're here, have to get supplies and my princess can't have enough clothes." Finally taking her eyes off Quinn, Judy and Mrs. Voice laugh at her little joke.

"Typical girl. You know, my Marissa was the same way at that age, still is actually."

Now Quinn really just wants Mrs. Voice to stop talking. As if her mom can read her mind, she tells Mrs. Voice they better get going so they can make it home to make dinner. Mrs. Voice reminds them of their trip to the country club and they were about to leave when Mrs. Voice calls for them again. Quinn really does not like her.

"I almost forgot to tell you my little gossip for the day." She is incredibly nosey, and loves to gossip. She can talk for days, of just about anything, especially gossip."Did you hear about the knew cancer doctor that just moved here?"

"No, I don't believe so."

Quinn decides she doesn't want to her any of Mrs. Voice's gossip, and decides to interrupt but being a Fabray of course, she can't be rude. Looking up at her mom, she tugs on her coat.

"Excuse me, mom. I thought we were going to go to Old Navy now?"

Both adults giggle at her cuteness. "Princess, be patient mommy is talking." Giving her mom a sigh in return, Quinn walks over to the store, and looks in the window, to distract her.

"He moved next door to me, very handsome man, not very tall. Has black hair, Hispanic and very single. Although, he does have a daughter about Quinn's age." Judy is intrigued now. She loves Quinn's friends but, she believes her little princess can use more.

"Is that so? Is he a member at the country club?" Making sure Quinn isn't too far away, Judy continues the conversation with her older friend.

"That's what he told me. He said, once he finds a sitter for the little one, he'll be there Monday, like every other doctor and lawyer." Mrs. Voice says with a laugh, and tells Judy she better get home.

Looking for Quinn, she notices she's talking to her friend Brittany. Judy has always liked little innocent child, such a cute and different little girl, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, some freakles on her nose and cheeks. Although, she doesn't care for her parents, not teaching their children good manners.

Brittany also has a twin brother, Sam and a little sister, Alyssa with another expected brother. Her mother, Phoebe, works for the local newspaper. She gives people advice on just about anything. Brittany always thought she gives the best and so does Quinn.

Her father, Micheal works construction he's a hard working man and does what he can for his growing family. They're not as privileged as the Fabray's, a middle class family but Michael is a respectable man, as is his wife. Quinn and Brittany have been freinds since head start they met while swinging on the swings and been joined at the hip ever since.

"Quinn, come on, princess. We have to go now."

A little upset she has to leave, but happy she finally is able to do some shopping, Quinn says goodbye to Brittany.

"Bye, Britt-Britt. I'll see you Monday at school."

Brittany gives Quinn her famous "Brittany hug," she squeezes her so tight she can barely breathe. "Bye, Quinnie bear, have fun shopping. Bye, Mrs. F!" Running off to find her own mom and her brother, Brittany almost trips over her feet. Judy looks on giggling.

"Ready, princess?"

"I've been ready. Mommy, lets go shopping." Quinn throws her little fist in the air, and runs to her favorite store.
