Hey guys! So this is my first Glee fanfic, I've just recently gotten into the show, watched most of the episodes online and then watched Funk and Journey when they premiered on Fox, I watched the Madonna episode and then decided to watch from the Pilot and I was hooked!

I'm a huge Jesse St James and Rachel Berry fan, I love them together! They're adorable so I decided to write a story for them, I hope you enjoy it and please review! =)

And this came out a little longer than planned…..but oh well!

Starting after Journey, Jesse&Rachel.

Rachel POV

I can't believe Quinn had her baby…..it seems like only last week we all found out she was pregnant. Little Beth is here…I wonder if they're going to keep her or not? I know Quinn didn't want to, but Puck did. Well I'll found out soon enough.

I'm just ready for a good night sleep. It was a long day, which ended with nothing. I can't believe Vocal Adrenaline won. I mean Jesse was amazing, but that's nothing knew, he's always like that. He was the only won that had at least a little soul when he sang, it seemed like he had more when he sang with me but that's beside the point. The rest of VA is all like robots up there, just following Jesse.

We were 10 times better then them, how could they have beaten us? Yes Jesse was amazing, like always, but he's only one person. This is all Ms. Sylvester's fault. She's just trying to ruin Glee.

I was just about to crawl in bed after putting my pajamas on when I heard a knock at my window; it was pouring rain out, who would be at my window? It better not be Finn, I told him we'd talk later. If he thinks I'm just going to jump into a relationship with him again he is sorely mistaken. I went over to the window and opened it and was very surprised to see who was there.

"Jesse?" I asked out of breath just from looking at him. "What are you doing here? Come for a victory gloat?" I said with a sneer on my face as he climbed in through the window.

"Rachel, stop. You know I wouldn't do that. I don't even feel that we should have won today. You guys were better, and that's the truth. You know I'm honest." He said smiling.

"Psh, you honest?" I said.

"Come on Rach you know I'm honest. What happened with us was just acting not lying." He said

"What happened with us? Why don't you just say it, you broke my heart, with an egg! I thought you loved me Jesse? Did you have to act that out? Because I'm pretty sure that was a lie." I said to him, still mesmerized by him, even when I was trying to be mad at him.

"No, it wasn't. I do love you Rachel. And I'm sorry I had to do that to you, but please just let me explain." He said.

"Fine, explain. But I want the truth this time, the whole truth. None of your lies, I want the story from beginning to end. I want to know everything, and I mean everything. I have time so don't leave anything out." I told him firmly.

"What about your Dad's? Won't they notice if you're up this late?" He asked

"No, they're not home. They planned a vacation before they knew it was Regional's and I just told them to go anyway." I said. And he smirked his genuine smirk.

"Alright then, I won't leave anything out. Promise." He said, sitting on my bed next to me, sticking his pinky out.

I reluctantly put my picky with his and he smiled at our intertwined pinkies.

"Alright, here's how it all started. I had gone with Shelby to Sectionals and saw you perform, you were very talented, and I was impressed. But I wasn't as emotional, I shall say, as Shelby. She was in tears, and I could not figure out what about you was making her so emotional, she kept muttering to herself, it took me awhile to hear what she was saying because she was saying it so quietly, but she was saying "She's me, that's me" and I could not understand why she was saying this, but when she gave me this "mission" I felt like an idiot for not figuring out earlier." He said and then paused, but when I said nothing he continued.

"So a few days later she came to me asking her favorite student for a favor. I told her with all that she'd done for me I'd be happy to do a favor for her. She told me that Rachel Berry, the young girl we saw perform at Sectionals, was her daughter. She said she wasn't allowed to contact you until you were 18; she had signed a contract when she had given you up for adoption agreeing to that. But she said she was missing something in her life, you. And that she wouldn't wait another 2 years to meet you, so you had to find her, and she needed my help. She said I needed to befriend you, and give you that tape because if you were as much like her as she thought you'd stop at nothing to find her, and she was right." He said and I moved a little on my bed and motioned him to continue.

"The first time I met you at that library wasn't planned. I really didn't know you'd be there, I did use to go there before I had even heard of you, I guess it was fate." He said smiling. "And when I saw you there, looking at Lionel Richie, I decided it was time to start. I walked over to you, and we started to sing. And when we had finished singing Hello, I think I knew subconsciously, I was in love with you Rachel. I just didn't want to open myself to these feelings, I'm not used to them Rachel. Yes I dated, but I always stopped it before it became anything too serious, and I never even had a hint of these feelings for any of the other girls, but with you…. I didn't even have to stop it. It all happened so suddenly." He said.

"What happened so suddenly?" I asked

"Me falling in love with you." He said "I tried to ignore these feelings, say they meant nothing, but in the back of my head I knew I loved you.

"What happened after that?" I asked. "If you were in love with me, why the eggs?"

"After spending more and more time with you I began to like you even more. I found you were just like me." He said smiling and I smiled back a little embarrassed but still smiling. "But then Shelby reminded me why I had started dating you in the first place." He said his face dropping. "She had me plant the tape so you would find it, and when I talked to her in the car I told her I was really starting to like you. She wasn't too happy I was falling for her baby girl. She said it was all supposed to be acting practice for me, and a reunion with her daughter for her. After that I couldn't tell her I was in love with you. She'd slap me." He said laughing and I smiled.

"And after you found her she told me it was time to return to Carmel and Vocal Adrenaline. When I was a little hesitant to return she told me that this whole thing was just to reunite you and her. She said my job was finished and that it was time for me to come back where I belong. I told her that if she loved you then she should know you had become very attached to me, and me just up and leaving would break your heart. She said that if you were strong like she was you wouldn't get depressed, you'd get angry and use that anger to put up a good fight at Regionals, which you did." He said smiling again.

"I reluctantly agreed. I figured it would help you at Regionals, and maybe I wasn't the best thing for you anyway. I mean I was going to UCLA in the fall and who was I to enter to your life, date you for a summer and then up and leave? Oh yeah Jesse St James, that's who….the heartbreaker." He said sneering. I smiled.

"Your not that big of a heartbreaker." I said laughing and he laughed along too. "But you still haven't told me about the eggs…" I said and he groaned.

"I wish you would just forget about that…." He whispered.

"Not without an explanation I won't" I said firmly. He sighed, but continued to speak.

"It wasn't my idea, I swear. After we did "Another One Bites the Dust" and the rest of Vocal Adrenaline tped the choir room, which was also not my idea nor did I take part in if you would care to know, we were getting ready to leave back to Carmel and we started arguing over who should have the Bohemian Rhapsody solo. I told them I had the strongest voice and I always did the solos, but they said that I was still in love with you and would throw the competition, that someone who really wanted to win scholarships not a girl should sing it so we would win. When I objected, they said I had to prove that I was loyal to Vocal Adrenaline and not you, and that I had to do something to prove I was no longer in love with you. That's when they came up with the egging idea…..believe me Rachel if I could do it over I would. But you know what the pressures like, being the best, being the leader." He said his face filled with pain. "Rachel you know I much I value my future, because you are the same way. I needed to do this solo; even if we didn't win I knew singing that song would guarantee my scholarship with UCLA. Didn't you see the pain on my face while they were egging you?" He asked

"Why were you smiling when I ran out there then? If you knew what was going to happen?" I asked him.

"I was smiling because you were so excited to see me, I saw that even after all that had happened you still loved me, or I hoped you did." He said.

"Oh, I did." I muttered under my breath but he still managed to here me and he smiled.

"But I had to prove to them I was on their side, even if it wasn't true." He said and my face perked up. "They agreed to give me the solo because truly was the best and if we wanted to win they needed me to sing." He finished.

"And that's everything, is there anything else you would like to know?" He asked me.

"No I think you covered everything." I said and he smiled. "Wait….there was one thing I wanted to ask you…." I finished.

"Yes?" He said

"How was I?" I asked with a serious look on my face, and he just laughed.

"Are you really asking how good you were?" He said, still laughing.

"Jesse! I'm serious; I want to know your opinion. It matters to me." I said. He grabbed me hand and looked into my eyes.

"My love, you were incredible. One of the best I think I've seen you perform, I wish it had been me up there singing with you instead of Finn." He said with a jealous look on his face.

"Alright then, that's everything I needed to know." I said curling up next to him as he put his arm around me.

"There is a question have for you though Rachel." He said.

"And what would that be?" I answered.

"While we were broken up, did anything happen with you and Finn? I didn't like the way he was looking at you up there during your song." He said.

Oh crap…..I hoped he wouldn't bring this up. But I guess I made him tell me everything that happened, it wasn't that bad what happened with me and Finn. It was just a kiss, and he did say he loved me, but I don't think Finn knows what that means. I can tell him.

"After the whole egg thing happened I was depressed. I didn't think you loved me anymore, or if you had at all, and he and Puck had been sweet when they wanted to go beat you up after what you did, and I just got caught up in everything going on and we kissed." I said and I could feel his arm tighten around me, but I continued. "And when we were in the hall before going out to sing he told me he loved me, but I didn't answer him." I finished

"Well, thank you for telling me this. I have no reason to be upset with you because I had hurt you so much beforehand. I can't say I'm not upset with him for just moving right in on you when he knew we had just broken up, but…" He said and I hugged him as we laid there.

"Don't be jealous, ever. There is no way he could ever compete, or live up to you." I said

"Well thank you." He said smiling. "Now sleep my darling, you've worked hard today." He said rubbing my arm.

I snuggled up closer to him and fell asleep in his arms all that had happened the past week just seemed to go away in his arms. He sang me to sleep that night for the first time, which would soon become a traditional thing. He sang Hello, the first song we sang together and I think I fell a little more in love with him.

I knew the next Monday at school was going to be full of questions, asking if I was crazy for going back to him, if I wanted to get hurt again. But at that moment, all was right.

Well what'd you think? It was okay for a first story right?

I'm not sure if I'm going to continue this, I ended it either way, it could just be a one-shot, or I could continue with what happens later.

Let me know what you think I should do!
