Hey, so this is my first attempt at a 'Glee' fanfiction, I hope you like it. Please read and review :D
As Quinn sat in the choir room, staring at the thundering rain, her thoughts drifted towards the baby. Her baby. She smiled despite herself. Ever since she'd seen that little pink line, she'd been confused. A sheer feeling of dread had overwhelmed her, she'd cried and screamed, shouting at the little person inside of her. She'd had everything, she had a family, friends and a popular boyfriend. Now what did she have? Ever since Finn had discovered the truth, Quinn had felt like an outsider. In all the time she'd been pregnant Finn had been there, to take the anger from her parents, to take her in when no one else would and to take the ridicule from there so called friend. Now she was alone.
There other feeling overwhelming feeling Quinn was love. She'd only really began to feel it when her baby kicked, straight after Quinn's world came crashing down around her. It was like the baby felt Quinn's pain and wanted to comfort her Mother. Now as she sat staring at the rain, she couldn't help but smile at the fact that her little 'Drizzle' was dancing around inside her.
"I'm Sorry" Quinn snapped out of her retrieve to find Rachel Berry stood behind her, hands stuffed in her pockets, back hunched with an apologetic look on her face. Quinn shook her head slightly and tapped the seat next to her. Rachel looked at the seat for a moment, before sitting down.
"I wanted to thank you actually" Quinn said as Rachel looked surprised "Like I said, you did the thing I wasn't brave enough to do"
Rachel's lips curved into a small sad smile.
"Besides, I deserve everything I get, I've hurt so many people" Quinn blinked quickly trying to stop the tears that threatened to fall.
"You made a mistake, everybody's human. You aloud to do things wrong" Rachel said reaching for Quinn's hand and squeezing it slightly.
"I've been so terrible to everyone, especially you. I'm the one that should apologize." Quinn threw her eyes to look at Rachel who was smiling
"It's okay. Blame it on the hormones" Rachel laughed as Quinn broke into a large smile. As she sat with Rachel, Quinn relised that she wasn't alone. She had her baby and she had Rachel.
"Thank You" Quinn said, genuinely meaning the words that fell out of her mouth
Rachel looked confused "What for?"
"For being here"
"Thats what friends are for." Quinn smiled again. Never did she think that one, she'd be friends with Rachel Berry and two, she would realize Rachel was the only one she could count on. The girls sat in silence for a few minutes, just happy to be in the others company.
"I heard you were staying with Santana" Rachel said breaking the silence.
" Yeah, she's got a blow up bed. It's not perfect but it's the best I got" Quinn laughed solemnly
"Quinn, your 5 months pregnant. You need a proper bed" Rachel sounded horrified at the thought of a pregnant Quinn sleeping on a horrible, lumpy blow up bed.
"It's the only place I can go. Mom and Dad wont let me go back home and I can't go back to Finn's. Face it Rachel, it's the best I got." Quinn looked at Rachel sadly, hoping that she would drop the subject and move on.
"Your coming home with me" Rachel said as Quinn looked surprised.
"No, Rachel I can't. It's unfai- - " But Rachel cut her off.
'I've got a spare room, it's miles better than a blow up bed, mind it may need a lick of paint."
"Rachel that's really kind of you but it wouldn't be right. Besides your Dad's might not want me there" Quinn said feeling awkward at Rachel's kind gesture.
"I'm not taking no for an answer. And besides, it was their idea. I kinda told them what happened." Quinn was shocked, two complete strangers had offered to give her a home without even knowing who she was.
"Umm ... okay, then. Thank you Rachel." Quinn said leaning over to hug Rachel.
"Oh!" Quinn pulled back quickly quickly, hand on her swollen abdomen.
"Quinn, you okay?" Rachel asked, voice full of concern. Quinn lifted her face to Rachel's and smiled.
"Yeah, she just kicked" Rachel beamed.
"Wanna feel?" Quinn had already pulled Rachel's hand onto the spot where the baby was kicking. Quinn watched as Rachel's smile grew wider as she felt the baby kick her palm firmly.
"Sounds like she agrees too" Rachel laughed, rising to her feet, hand outstretched towards Quinn.
"Ready to go?" Quinn looked at Rachel's hand then back to the rain. She stood and grasped Rachel's hand.
"Ready" She smiled and linked arms with Rachel, her own personal umbrella protecting her from the rain and anything else that got chucked her way.
The ride to Rachel's was filled with general chatter as Quinn and Rachel got to know each other better. Rachel had decided they should know the inns and outs of each other if they were going to be living together.
Quinn learned that Rachel was an only child, and was perfectly fine with it. She learn t that her Dad's had been together since they were 17, the age both Quinn and Rachel were now. She also learned that Rachel could play the gutair, piano and flute and had wanted to preform since she was 3 years old.
Rachel learned that Quinn was the middle sister of 3, her eldest sister Juliet being 25 and her youngest sister Dianna was 9. She learned that Quinn had been a gymnast since she was 6 and had also wanted to be a cheerio. She also learned that Quinn was a good artist and carried round a sketch book.
Quinn began to feel nervous as Rachel pulled up to her house. It was stunning, with pink rose bushes out front and gorgeous red tulips around the door.
"Come on" Rachel said as she stepped out of the car. Quinn sighed, took a deep breath and followed Rachel's example. She met her at the front door, with a small smile.
"You'll be fine" Rachel reassured her, giving her a one armed squeeze.
Rachel grasped the door handle and pushed it open. If Quinn thought the outside was beautiful, the inside was magnificent.
"We're home!" Rachel yelled, as a warm rush washed over Quinn at the word 'home'.
Quinn glanced up at the sound of footsteps and saw two tall men walking towards herself and Rachel. One had dark brown curly hair and sported a pair of black stylish glasses. The other was blond and had piercing blue eyes.
"Dad, Daddy this is Quinn" Rachel said, pushing Quinn forward slightly. It took Quinn a few moments to realize that she was being hugged before responding quickly.
"Quinn, my names David" said the dark haired man, pulling back from their hug.
"And this is Stephan, my partner" He said gesturing to the blond man as he came forward and embraced Quinn, like David had.
"We're so happy your here, you can stay as long as you like and of course your baby is welcome too" Stephan said as Quinn smiled greatfully.
"Thank you so much. I really appreciate this." She said, fighting back tears once again. Two strangers had made her feel more loved in seconds than her parents had in years.
"We've ordered pizza so Rachel will show you to your room" David said smiling at Rachel who was stood behind Quinn.
With a slight tug of her arm, Rachel was pulling Quinn up the stairs towards her new room.
"Dad and Daddy's room is on the 3rd floor, so the 2nd floor is all ours. Now, before I show you your room, I want you to remember it can always be re-painted." Rachel babbled as Quinn nodded. Rachel smiled and pulled on the door handle, pushing on the door. Quinn stepped inside and gasped in awe.
The walls were pure white while the wall that had the bed pushed up against it was a deep purple. Purple accessories were adorned around the room along with empty picture frames.
"Rachel, it's perfect! Thank you" Quinn said as she hugged Rachel tightly.
"You've got an on suite bathroom as well as an adjoining door to our joint lounge." Rachel said pulling at the door by the wardrobe , revealing a lounge decorated in black with a large TV.
"Rachel, I don't know what to say. Thank you so much" Rachel smiled.
"It's okay. Tomorrow, I'll go and pick your stuff up from Finn's. He wants to see me apparently" Rachel said, pulling Quinn into the lounge and onto one of the black leather sofa's.
"He probably wants to tell you, he's madly in love with you" Quinn said staring Rachel in the eyes.
"Don't be stupid. He probably just needs to talk things through" Rachel said sounding uninterested about the whole thing.
"Rachel, trust me. He loves you, I could see it in his eyes. He felt so guilty about it when he was with me and the baby. He doesn't have to feel guilty anymore. " Quinn said as she stared down at her lap.
"I want him to be happy. You make him happy."
"Lets not talk about it now, lets just enjoy the rest of our night." Rachel said, desperate to get off the subject of herself and Finn.
Quinn shook her head slightly and sighed. Looking around, Quinn finally felt at peace. So much had changed in the last few hours, now she wasn't alone anymore, she had a new family and she finally felt like she could face the world, one day at a time.
Remember to review :D
