Always There – Fanfic Glee version?

Chapter 1

A/N: This is my first fanfic. I don't really know where I'm going with this. But I have a couple of ideas floating around. It's gonna be mainly Rachel. But there's be like, semi-stories in there. Sorry, I still don't know what half of the fanfic-talk means. But I do know what AU means. And this story's that. And... yeah. One other thing; Finn, Rachel, Tina, Santana, Quinn and Sam are best friends. But Tina & Santana, Rachel & Finn, and Quinn & Sam are the inner closer friends (;

I'll stop rambling now.

"You what?" Rachel's eyes widen.

Her dads eye each other. "Well, honey. We thought you'd be excited," her papa answers.

"No, no; I am. But... why?"

Why? Why isn't she enough? Why would they adopt a 9 year old girl just like that? Why didn't they tell her first? Why would they keep her in the shadows with something as big as this?

Rachel doesn't care how whiny she sounds. Even inside her head.

She just wants to know... why?

"She just lost her parents and her house, Rachel. We thought that since we're blessed enough to have an extra room and a house more than big enough for the three of us..."

Rachel's heart melted. "She lost her parents? How?"

"Her... her house burned down with her parents in it. She got away because she was at school."

Rachel breaks down into sobs. She can just imagine that being her. A little nine year old Rachel Berry in an orphanage, crying for her daddies.

She quickly stops her tears and puts on her thousand-watt smile. "When can I meet her?"


"Hi, Addie. I'm Rachel, your new sister," Rachel smiles down on the little girl. She kneels down so they're eye to eye.

Addie's sea green eyes twinkle with excitement.

Rachel tries again. "Come on. Let's go find m─our dads."

Addie hides her smile behind her long dirty blonde hair.


"And... here's your room!"

Addie slowly walks into her new bedroom. Rachel and her dads stay at the doorway.

"She hasn't said a word since we got here," Rachel whispers.

"Give her time, sweetie. Meanwhile, just make her feel welcome," LeRoy answers.

"Alright, Papa."


"Hey, Rachel!" Finn waves to Rachel. He stops and looks at the others on the lunch table. "And Tina and Sam and Quinn and S─"

"Don't you dare forget me," Santana glares at Finn.

"I was just about to say your name," he mumbles.

"Well, good."

"Hi, Finn," Rachel says.

The others mumble a response.

"Hey, guys. Can I have your attention for a second?" she continues.

Santana rolls her eyes. "We all know you always want attention, Berry. Just get on with it."

Rachel ignores her comment. "My dads..."

Five heads turn to her.

"They adopted a little girl."

"Whaa─?"

"Yeah..." Rachel says awkwardly.

"How old is she? Why did they adopt her? When can we meet her?" Quinn bombards her with questions.

"She's nine. They adopted her because her parents died. And you guys can come over after school if you want."

"Her parents died? And she's only nine? How?" Tina says.

"Her house burned down... with her parents in it... She only got away because she was at school," Rachel replies, trying to make it as dramatic as she can. She is Rachel Berry, after all.


A/N: Okay, so. Here's the first chapter. Like I said, I'm not too sure where I'm going with this.

It's basically just gonna be about their life. So it might get boring. I'm trying hard to make it interesting though!

But this was really fun to write :)

I barely get on from a computer, I'm usually always on my iTouch. So I write there and send it here and edit it and post it and etc, etc.

My mom doesn't let me on a computer much. But more and more lately, so fingers crossed.

Sorry it's not very long. Further chapters might be longer or shorter but this is the usual length.
