Learn To Fly Chapter 1: Ten

I unfortunately do not own Glee, the honor belongs to the creators of the show, RIB.


10 Years Ago (Senior Year) – June 9, 2012

"Rach," Quinn protested. "I don't think it will be a good idea to tell your parents."

"Nonsense, Quinn!" Rachel said. "They deserve the truth after sneaking around them for two years now. Are you telling me that you're ashamed of me?"

"Of course not!" Quinn answered. "I'm just afraid that they'll throw you out of your own home like my own father did when he found out."

"I know that," Rachel replied softly. "But Quinn, you should know by now that you're worth more to me than my parent's approval."

"If you're sure then," Quinn said, unable to deny her lover.

At The Berry Household

"Dad! Mom!" Rachel called out.

"What is it honey?" Michael asked.

"Where's mom?

"Right here," Shelby said as she emerged from the kitchen. "And who is this lovely girl next to you?"

"This is Quinn," Rachel replied, gesturing to the blonde girl.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Berry," Quinn said with a weak smile in anticipation for what was to come. "It's nice to meet you."

"I'm glad you're finally inviting your friends over," Shelby said.

"She's not my friend," Rachel replied.

"Then what is she doing here?" Michael asked.

Rachel took a deep breath before answering her father, hoping that her parents would understand. "Quinn is my girlfriend."

The house was suddenly so silent that the sound of a pin dropping on the floor could be heard.

"It's a phase," Michael said. "We can fix this, Rachel."

"No it's not," Rachel said. "There is nothing for you or anyone to fix."

"It's a sin!" Michael yelled.

"I love her and she loves me," Rachel argued. "Love is not a sin."

"What about your dreams?" Shelby asked. "If she truly loved you, Quinn would never make you throw away your dreams for her."

"Quinn isn't making me choose between her and Broadway," Rachel said. "She's coming to New York with me. She'll be attending NYU, while I'm in Julliard."

"You!" Michael yelled, pointing at the blonde. "You corrupted my daughter! She was perfect. Now you're going to drag her to hell with the rest of you faggots."

"She did not," Rachel argued. "I was born this way dad. God made me this way, and he loves all of us like you said so many times in the past."

"I want you out of this house by tomorrow!" Michael shouted.

"Michael," Shelby said. "Rachel's our daughter."

"It doesn't matter any more," Michael replied. "She's a fag."

An hour later, Quinn carried the last of Rachel's things down the stairs and put them into the trunk of her car. Rachel was standing in the middle of the hallway when Quinn approached her. The blonde sighed before wrapping her arms around her girlfriend's waist.

"Are you ok?" Quinn asked.

"I will be once I leave this house," Rachel answered. "Just let me say my final goodbye."

"I'll come with you," Quinn said. "I don't want you to be alone."

Quinn followed Rachel into the living room and gave her girlfriend's hand a firm squeeze, trying to convey all of her support and love through that simple action.

"I'm leaving," Rachel told her parents.

"Good," Michael said. "And don't even think about coming back."

"Oh yeah," Rachel said. "Quinn has a penis, dad."

Michael immediately bolted up from the coach and glared at the blonde girl. "You're an abomination! Leave my property immediately!"

"Come on Quinn," Rachel said as she tugged on her girlfriend's hand. "Let's go."

"Rachel, wait!" Shelby said, once the girls reached the door.

The older brunette stroked her now grown daughter's cheek before pulling her into a hug of goodbye. Once mother and daughter pulled away from each other, Shelby turned to Quinn.

"Promise me you'll take care of her."

"I promise," Quinn said.

The couple turned, leaving Shelby at her doorstep to watch her own daughter leave and grieve her loss.


10 Years Later – September 21, 2022

"I'm so happy for you two!" Brittany exclaimed as she bounced with excitement.

"I'm glad you finally had the balls to ask your hobbit, Q!" Santana said, walking into Quinn and Rachel's apartment, holding up the magazine with the front cover that read 'Broadway Starlet Rachel Berry Engaged To Actress Quinn Fabray!'

"I'm glad she did too," Rachel said as she kissed her fiancé.

"Can I see the ring?" Brittany asked.

"Sure," Rachel replied, lifting her hand up for the Dutch girl to inspect.

"So how did your fans react to the news?" Santana asked.

"I did get a message saying that I can't be with Rachel because they loved me more," Quinn chuckled. "The rest were all to congratulate the both of us.

"Really? Well I'm glad the world knows you're taken now, because you're mine. Every part of you," Rachel said seductively to Quinn as she stroked her fiancé through her jeans.

"Oh my god," Santana said as her eyes literally bugged out.

"That is so hot!" Brittany exclaimed.

"Come on, B!" the Latina said as she pulled her wife out of the apartment. "Let's leave them alone."

The two didn't leave their bedroom until the next day. Quinn really did love possessive Rachel.


Again, it's not something that I usually write so tell me whether it's worthy of being continued or should just thrown into the dumpster as soon as possible. Thanks for reading.

Another thing I need your opinion on is whether to go through with a fic where Quinn is either a spy or an assassin. Tell me what you think!
