As Jesse stepped into the room he saw Rachel on the couch, his heart almost stopped, she was more beautiful than ever, even though she was clearly distressed. He wondered why she was he has here last time he checked they weren't speaking. He looked to Shelby who looked quite irritated that he had just shown up, there was some concern and confusion in her face too, it was always hard to read the softer emotions off his coaches face.

"What are you doing here?" Rachel asked looking hurt and confused.

"My parents kicked me out because I flunked out of UCLA."

"You flunked out!" Shelby screeched, knowing this may have been partly due to her extreme coaching measures.

"Can I stay for a bit" Jesse asked apprehensively

"Yes, but the conditions are you get a job, help with chores and Beth, you practice piano and vocals daily with me, and you try to move out or get into another college when you can."

Jesse was elated she hadn't said anything about staying away from Rachel.

"I agree to those terms."

"Rachel and I were about to get lunch, any preferences?" Shelby asked. Rachel gave Shelby an irritated look. She had been sitting there looking annoyed since he came in. He couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful she looked.

Rachel was mad, very mad. She just got her mom back and now her ex is here and getting vocal lesson from her, babysitting her sister, and just being so smug and handsome. Rachel was not handling this well, for the first time she was looking forward to after glee therapy. She and her mom hadn't talked about Jesse yet, mainly because she didn't talk about it to anyone. She changed her relationship status on facebook after the egg incident and no one tried mentioning it to her after Santana brought it up once after Regional's last year to try to rub it in Rachel's face some more, Rachel threatened to quit glee, threatened to kill Santana, and then stormed out and didn't show up at glee for three weeks. So they all knew better than to bring it up. She wanted to talk about it with someone, but all of her fellow glee clubbers were to mean to her and she was afraid that if she spoke about her feeling they'd use them against her.

Rachel realized she had just been sitting there stewing the whole time they were making lunch plans.

"Rach do you want Mexican food, Jesse's favorite restaurant is around here?" Shelby asked.

"Do they have Vegan options?"

"Yeah they have faux meat and soy cheese."

"Ok let's go."

Jesse picked up Beth and helped her into the car seat, he opened the front doors for Rachel and Shelby then sat in the back next to Beth. He played peek a boo and cooed at her. Rachel turned on the cd player, feeling jealous of his closeness with Beth and Shelby's trust of him with her daughter, the Wicked sound track came blasting though the car stereo. Shelby switched it to Defying Gravity, the two of them sang together, which distracted Rachel and made her feel at ease in the uncomfortable situation. Next As Long As Your Mine came on, Rachel kept singing Elphba's part and Jesse took over for Fieryo, the intenseness of the emotions in the song started to overwhelm Rachel, hearing his perfect voice reminded her of everything she loved about him.

She was terrified of falling for him again after spending so long dealing with the betrayal. She knew it was never real for him and he was just an amazing performer who played the role of the love of her life perfectly. He gave her everything she wanted out of a relationship, and then took it away with the crack of an egg. Her nightmares about chickens had stopped, but she had reoccurring ones about Jesse. She had accepted that it wasn't her fault that the chicks had died on her, after about 20 very expensive therapy sessions. Why did he have to come back? Her therapist had just moved out of their guest room?

They finally arrived at the restaurant and Rachel was subtly trying to do her deep breathing exercises to calm herself down after hearing Jesse sing that song to her. Well not to her, but with her.

After they ate, Rachel told Shelby she had to go back to school then go to Glee. She drove back to school after picking up her car from Shelby's. She had missed her second and third class and lunch had just ended when she got back. She headed to French class and relaxed while reading a novel in French for her upcoming book report. It was a memoir of a French actress and she loved it, she got lost reading about the bright lights of the Parisian stage. The bell rang and Rachel was disappointed, she loved taking foreign languages, she took both French and Spanish, she had missed her Spanish class and would have to talk to Mr. Shue about it before Glee.

Sorry it's so short, let me know what you think please.
