Authors note

THIS IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM CONNECTING TO WHATS GOING ON IN SEASON THREE OF GLEE THEY HAVE NO CONNECTION I THOUGHT OF THIS IDEA BEFORE I SAW THE EPISODE JUST DIDENT FEEL LIKE WRITING UNTIL NOW.

Also note im not going to have Rachel come face to face with death no ones going to try and kill her shes not going to get raped shes not going to get prego nothing too cliché like that those things are so over done this is a story about rachels journey with getting to know her mother theres going to be sadness though its not all going to be happy because rachels going to be in a lot of pain over her dads so happy reading

So first off I thought of this idea when I was watching the lady Gaga episode when Rachel and Shelby were singing poker face and I thought hmm what if Shelby changed her mind so I wrote this I have never seen this being done before so I decided to write this. Also Rachel and Jesse never broke up he never egged her

Shelby never adopted Beth because she's got Rachel not having her is the only reason she adopted Beth so she's not in this and I may or may not have what happened to her.

Rachel also may or may not go to Carmel because her mom works there and I have always wanted her there so if you don't like that idea then don't read because I am kind of getting rid of most of the new directions kids this is a Rachel/Shelby story not there's and her being at Carmel will work so much better.

I am not going to kill her dads that's too cliché and overdone but something will happen but they will not die but there not going to play a big role in this story they will be there in the beginning but only make appearances in the rest of the story.

Also note that none of the events after the Gaga episode ever happen Shelby still works at Carmel and still will

And last I hope you enjoy this for what it's worth not the storyline in season 3 I can't wait to see what that's going to be like I hope Rachel and Shelby come together and get along.
