A/N: This is the sequel for 'To The Dark Side' and I must give thanks to my reviewers catd1999, Isobel 4014 and BrokenDreams03 for their help in helping me decide the title and general outlook of the story.

Chapter 1: The Yale Years and the Move to New York

Life for Rachel and Quinn Fabray couldn't be any better. They had their health, they had love and of course they had Beth and Ethan with them. Also being close to their friends whilst they were studying helped their good life as well because it allowed them to let the kids hang with their aunts and uncles or in Beth's case her dad and aunts and uncles. This allowed the kids to expand their horizons and knowledge whilst Rachel and Quinn studied hard. Their first year at Yale was hard because it was the first time that either Rachel or Quinn had been away from Hiram and Leroy for an extended period but they knew they had to put up with it if they wanted to succeed in life.

Rachel worked in a local supermarket and Quinn worked in a local coffee shop to earn money so that that their kids would always be loved and have food on the table, which at the end of the day was more important to the two than anything else in the world. They toiled and struggled and Rachel even had to give up buying her balck and purple nail varnish so that they could succeed, but their hard work paid off in the end because at the end of their time at Yale, Rachel and Quinn had not only got firsts in their chosen degree fields, but they had made contacts with big names in New York.

However they weren't alone at Yale because Santana and Brittany were there also and to save money they shared an apartment with the Fabrays. Santana at first was reluctant because she felt she was encroaching on her best friends more than she should, that thought lasted until she had the puppy eyes from Beth which forced her to cave and give in. Brittany in particular was Happy with the decision because it meant she could stay with her niece and nephew all the time. She doted on the two and that is what allowed the other three to work and earn the money for their food and rent.

However Brittany worked hard as did Santana to get her degree and she and Santana also came out with firsts, which also attracted attention from the big companies.

However both couples knew that they had to decide on what they were going to do once they left Yale, so a few weeks before they sat their final exams, they gathered in the main living room of their apartment and talked about where they could go and who they could work for. They talked for hours on end and decided that they had three options, they could go to California where a major dance company had offered Brittany a role in their local show troupe. They decided against this because it menat that they would be separated for long periods of time. They could move to London where Rachel, Quinn and Santana had been offered work for a big blue chip company. They also decided against this one for two reasons, one it was a long way to move to and two there was no job offer for Brittany. They finally decided on their final option which was to move to New York. This appealed to the girls for many reasons. Firstly they had all been offered jobs in the city with Rachel and Quinn being offered jobs working for Apple and Brittany getting a job dancing on Broadway and teaching at NYADA. Santana also got lucky as she got a job working for one of the major law companies in Manhattan, which pleased Brittany because it meant with their combined wages they could buy a house next door to the Fabrays.

Housing wasn't a problem because Shelby and the Berry's had used some of the winnings from the show choir win to buy a house for the family so with that in mind, they were set, and ready to move to New York.

A/N: There we go the first chapter of my sequel. It's short because it is a kind of bridge chapter between my to stories. But the rest of them will be longer so there you go. Review if you can
