AN: This chapter is dedicated to Angie - at - OtAku . com because they inspired it, so if its rubbish blame them haha (Joke, seriously I was joking!) they suggested that – quote: 'How about Daniel trying to get back at Quinn or something and trying to make her life miserable but ends up wiping the floor with him!' I don't think this is what either of us was expecting when that suggestion was put out there (it definitely wasn't what I originally planned) but here it is, if its crap blame me lol!
AN2: it's either predictable or over the top so… enjoy ;P

Wedding Presents
Rachel and Quinn sat at their table at the wedding reception; Rachel was sweetly feeding Quinn some of the wedding cake
"So has this been a good day for you, so far?"
"Of course it has" Quinn furrowed her brow with worry at her new wife's question "What makes you ask that? You know I'm having the best time"
"It was just the cake… it just reminded me of a certain day… the only bad day we've really had"
"Oh" Quinn was quiet "I know the one"
"Its okay Quinn, I love you, I know you were telling the truth, and I just know there's nothing going on… I love you don't forget that" she took the napkin and dabbed Quinn's mouth
"I know and I love you too, I just feel so bad for what happened… and now I feel worse because… I got you a wedding present"
"How can you feel bad for getting me a present?"
"Because it also links to that day" she slid a small card board box the short distance across the table between them
Rachel opened it with a short intake of breath "I love it" she looked up at her wife and grinned, she leant forward and kissed her gently "I'm sorry I only got you this" she slid a box across the table too
Quinn froze when she saw the brand name on the box "You didn't?"
"It's not much" she said weakly
"Don't say that!" she opened the box and gasped "Rach" she held her hand over her heart and sunk in her chair a little, she was speechless… for a moment "There was two in the shop that I liked and you had to get the more expensive one"
"Well the cheaper one was just steel, this is the platinum with rose gold just like you wanted…the pink looks so good against your soft, flawless, skin" she kissed the shocked woman on the cheek
"But this watch was like $15,000!" she said in a harsh whisper
"Well" she took it out the box and slipped it onto the blondes wrist to make sure it didn't need to be adjusted "You're so worth it… what's wrong? I thought you' like it" she asked referring to the simple almost sad expression across her wives face.
"I-I do like it, I love it actually, you just spoilt me, I was thinking you might get me a bracelet at the most not a $15,000 Rolex"
"I told you; you're worth it"
"… Thank you" she bought her hand and caressed the side of Rachel's face adoringly with her thumb "I'm sorry that, that day was bought up"
"I told you, I don't care anymore; let's put it behind us and let it stay there please"
Flashback: the previous March; Alyssa's birthday
"Rachel what are we doing?" Quinn gasped as Rachel picked her up and sat her on the kitchen counter "Daniel and Mellissa are upstairs with Logan and Alyssa, they might see" Rachel was now standing in between Quinn's thighs and nuzzling into her neck
"That's what makes it more fun" She giggled, pulling away slightly and kissing Quinn quickly on the lips, she then pushed her back as she climbed onto the counter too, straddling the blonde
Quinn moaned as Rachel started on her neck again. Rachel moved her hands to the space either side of Quinn's head as she moved, to hover more comfortably over her fiancée. "Eww" she pulled away to see what she put her hand in "Uh-oh"
"What is it?" Quinn looked to her left too; to see Rachel's hand in Alyssa's birthday cake "Uh-Oh, you're in trouble" Quinn shuffled so she could sit up on the counter; Rachel still straddling her lap
"You think so?" Rachel bit her lip innocently
"Yeah I do, some ones been bad" she said lowly but could help but giggle in the end, causing Rachel's smile to turn into a mischievous one
The brunette took her cake covered hand and wiped it over the side of Quinn's face making the blonde gasp "How about now?"
Quinn bit her lip and reached behind her grabbing some of the ruined cake and smeared it across Rachel's mouth. The brunette laughed and jumped off the counter back onto the floor as Quinn reached for another fistful of cake, she threw it at Rachel getting her in the side as she turned, Rachel childishly screamed and ran round the counter grabbing some more cake too, Quinn hopped off the counter and turned to face her fiancée but she was met with a well aimed lump of flying chocolate cake. The blonde squealed in surprise before wiping it off her face with the back of her hand and reaching for more to retaliate. They kept going until the cake was gone and they and the kitchen were a mess.
They cleaned their faces of first "You missed some" Rachel said with a similar cheeky smile
"Where?" Quinn lent towards her, gesturing for her to get rid if it
Rachel kissed her teasingly on the corner of her mouth "Mmm Vanilla"
"It was chocolate" Quinn furrowed her brow
"I know but I like the taste of your lips better, they taste like vanilla" she leant in for a real kiss when Quinn interrupted
"Oh that's must be the lip balm I use-"
"Ugh way to ruin the moment Fabray" Rachel groaned and went to pull away
"Oh sorry" Quinn grinned pulling Rachel back in by grabbing the other woman by the back of the neck and pulling her forward. After a slow delicious kiss (more delicious than the cake) they pulled apart and looked around them at the mess they'd made
Rachel sighed "I'm going to get cleaned up and then go and get another cake"
"You're going to leave me to clean up all this?" The blonde groaned
"No I'll help you when I get back; I just think its best to get another cake before the birthday girl finds out that; her favourite double chocolate cake from her favourite bakery got used in a food fight"
"You make me feel like a teenager again Bryant, and don't worry I'm sure I can tidy this up by myself… you can just re-pay me later" she winked
"I'll let you get on with it then" Rachel smirked as she raced upstairs to change and rinse out her hair. She was soon back downstairs and skipping towards the front door in her biker jacket
"Uh, you're not going by bike are you?" Quinn called across the open planned living area getting her to halt
"Erm yeah, it may be Sunday but its midday there's still traffic out there, this way I can traffic weave"
"Rachel" She warned "Be careful, you know I worry about you"
"Don't worry I will, and now I realise it was a partially good idea for you to get me to put that garishly ugly box on the back, now I can carry the cake in it" she smiled, starting towards the door again "Love you, I'll be back as soon as possible"
"Love you" Quinn called back before the front door closed
The blonde quickly cleaned up the few messes of cake that were on some of the kitchen appliances, cupboard doors, counter surfaces and the floor, it didn't really take that long. She then went upstairs and cleaned herself off.
When she got back downstairs, Mellissa and Daniel were sitting in the seating area.
"Hey what happened to Rachel?" Daniel asked as Quinn walked towards the kitchen
"Oh we had a little incident with the cake and she had to get another one" she glanced up at him with a big smile. He and Mellissa approached the kitchen area too to talk with her.
"So how are things with Rachel; she's brilliant with your kids" Mellissa complimented
"She really is isn't she; she just makes me so happy and I know she makes Alyssa and Logan happy too" Quinn always smiled when she spoke with others about Rachel; she just couldn't help it.
"That's really great Quinn"
"How are you two doing; and your little no name"
"Oh he's causing loads of trouble; how did you ever cope with 'morning' sickness" Mellissa asked the experienced mother
Quinn huffed a laugh "you don't really; you just have to wait for it to go away, if your lucky enough for it to 'go away'" she looked to the younger soon to be mother sympathetically
"So Rachel's great is she?" Daniel bought up the absent woman again
"Yes, brilliant in fact" she said firmly, seeing the disappointment on her ex-husbands face, that his 'replacement' was doing better than him
"Excuse me I need to use the bathroom" Mellissa spoke up
"Sure; you remember where it is right?" Quinn looked to the younger woman blocking out the man who was still watching her.
"Yeah" Mellissa replied before disappearing
Quinn turned her back to Daniel as she started preparing something on the opposite side of the kitchen
She suddenly felt someone very close behind her, she spun round to find Daniel invading her space
"Erm, what are you doing?" she put her hand on his chest and tried to step back but she was cornered
"You can't be happier with her" he started, he reached forward and pushed some of her hair behind her ear as she slapped his hand away
"I am happier and you need to step away now" her voice was low, her eyes looked up at him intensely through her eye lashes.
"No, there's no way that woman could make you feel better than I did"
"Well she does, now back off" he put one hand on her back and pulled her body flush with his. She put her hands on his shoulder and tried to push him off as his other arm snaked round her petite (by far, in comparison) frame.
…
"Quinn! I'm home I got the cake" Rachel announced as she arrived home "…I nearly had to fight for it" she placed her helmet and keys on the side table next to the front door "…I guess I deserve that as I ruined the last one" she made her way to the kitchen with the white card box balanced on one hand, she rounded the corner into the kitchen "… maybe we should try making the cake ourselves next time…" this time she trailed off when she saw a scene that made her blood boil. Daniel with her big possessive gorilla arms round her Quinn and his lips smushed against hers. Quinn's hands were on his shoulders and they both had their eyes tightly closed.
Rachel was frozen to the spot when Mellissa walked out of the bathroom and saw the scene too. Logan and Alyssa were still upstairs in their rooms; Rachel could hear Logan was practicing on the drums… even if his little arms meant he could barely reach each piece of the kit.
Rachel couldn't believe it. She and Mellissa were just standing their while the other woman's husband looked like he was eating her fiancées face. Rachel shook herself from her frozen state when she heard Quinn whimper.
She strode over to the kissing pair and grabbed Daniels arm; violently ripping him off the blonde woman. He had the guts to look at Rachel annoyed as if she was in the wrong for pulling them apart. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Rachel yelled more at Daniel than Quinn
He shouldn't have looked so smug after Rachel spoke, he didn't see her fist coming. It collided with his jaw in an upward strike, knocking him to the floor. As he fell his head hit one of the kitchen cupboard doors before he was flat on the floor, but not out cold. "Here take my hand" She helped him to his feet only to punch him once again he stumbled back and leant against one of the work surfaces, his nose was bleeding and so was his split lip.
He touched his lip and checked his hand to confirm himself that he was bleeding. His face went red with anger and he charged towards her, a fist raised. Before he had a chance to bring it down on her she punched him in the gut then the jugular shocking him, he stumbled back again and ended up on his backside.
"Mellissa; I think you need to get your coats" Rachel said, her eyes never leaving the fallen man
"Erm y-yes" she stuttered before going into the study to retrieve their coats.
Quinn stood behind Rachel, clutching the kitchen side behind her, she was nervous; mainly because she'd never seen the short brunette this angry before and she was worried to what her fate would be.
Rachel once again pulled Daniel up and led him to the front door, she shoved him out of the apartment causing him to trip and his head once again to collide with the wall opposite, she followed him out slamming the door behind herself before picking him op once again. She was surprisingly strong, she held him against the wall by the scruff of his shirt, he wasn't even standing the dazed man was crouched awkwardly as he was held in place by the very pissed off short brunette. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" she gritted her teeth
"What does she see in you?" his coughed a little as he spoke
"What's it to you; you have a wife and a son on the way; neither are things you deserve, and after that display you may have lost them… are you such a stupid fucker, that you have to mess with everyone's lives around you, you can't just appreciate what you're lucky enough to have, and get your fucking nose out of everyone else's business!" he was actually cowering at her words "I would say stay away, because believe me I don't want you anywhere near my family ever again… but thanks to the fucking law you get to see your kids twice a month… so right now I want you to get the fuck away from here and you ever touch Quinn again, I'll mess up you up so bad you'll wish I'd killed you-"
Rachel stopped when she heard the front door open then close. She let go of him so he could stand and turned to the timid pregnant woman behind her. She looked to her with sympathy which Mellissa shyly returned. She stepped passed her and stopped to pat her hand supportively on the pregnant woman's shoulder "Don't let him boss you around; you're in charge" she murmured
"Thank you" Mellissa whispered. Neither of the women were looking at the other as they spoke they were just frozen standing next to one another looking in the opposite direction. Mellissa at the hopeless and bleeding man leaning against the wall and Rachel to the door where a confrontation she wasn't looking forward to awaited her.
With a deep breath Rachel ventured back into the apartment, the door closed leaving the married couple in the hall way. "I'm so sorry, I was just seeing if-" Daniel reached out
"Don't! Touch me" she violently withdrew her arm from his reach and huffed "If you know what's good for you you'll shut up and we'll talk when we get home" he was now cowering from her like he had from Rachel, her tone was much scarier than it had been before; he'd definitely released the wrath of two women. She threw his coat at him and then stormed down the corridor to the lifts; he stumbled over his own feet following her and trying to apologise.
In the apartment Rachel was leant against the door taking a few more breaths. She could hear snivelling so she went to the kitchen where Quinn was sitting on the kitchen floor with her knees pulled up to her chest and tears streaming down her face. She looked up when a shadow was cast over her, alerting her to Rachel's presence
"Rachel!" she stood up and tried to take her fiancée's hands, but Rachel stepped back, worrying her bottom lip between her teeth as a distraction to prevent herself from crying, her eyes looked, to put it simply, they looked sad. In all the time Quinn had known her she'd never seen her eyes look that sad; even when she cried "Please" she took another step as the brunette to another back, she was shaking her head and the tears started to fall "I didn't kiss him, he kissed me he forced himself on me, I couldn't push him off, please" she managed to grab one of Rachel's wrists "You have to believe me, I never want to hurt you, I love you and he- he, you know him he always messes things up, he just wants to make me unhappy, he-he"
"Quinn… I-I want to believe you, I really do" Rachel's voice trembled "…b-but what I saw, you both looked-"
"Don't say that! You know what he's like… he doesn't think and I didn't want it, I didn't want that, I don't want him; I love you so much and I don't ever want to jeopardise what we have"
"I love you too, I really do, but I can't say what I saw didn't hurt me and I really want to believe you, but right now I need some time" Rachel pulled her wrist away and started back toward the front door again
"How much time?" Quinn followed in desperation
"I don't know… I think at least a day… I'll see you at work tomorrow" she nodded and wiped the still falling tears form her eyes and picking up her keys and helmet
"Okay" Quinn reluctantly nodded in understanding, Rachel reached for the door handle but felt that hand again on her left wrist, the same hand clutched the helmet tighter "Rachel, one last thing, I beg I really do; because if-" she stopped to take in a shaky breath, it had become irregular from crying "If this for what ever reason can't work out I don't want my last kiss to be with him…" Rachel's heart broke at the sound of Quinn's voice, evident with hurt.
She turned and faced the equally broken woman and smiled sadly before reaching up to her face with her right hand. She caressed her cheek with her thumb before leaning forward and pressing a soft, simple yet long kiss to the blonde's lips. She then pulled away before either of them could take it further and left with a sad smile.
Quinn burst into tears again and just dropped herself to the floor "Mummy, where did everyone go?" Alyssa started as she came down the stairs; she then noticed her mother crying and ran to her "What's wrong?" Quinn didn't know what to say; everything was so messed up.
Logan now ventured down stairs too and saw the blonde crying, hugging Alyssa tightly, he was going to ask a question similar to his sisters but settled for joining the group hug. Remi approached the group and laid down next to them leaning against Quinn's leg as she gently rocked back and forth; holding onto all she had left.
…
As soon as Rachel left the apartment she went straight to the underground car park, she got on her bike. She wiped her face from the tears that she couldn't stop falling. She wasn't sure where she'd go, maybe Kurt's, but then again she didn't want to disturb him, maybe Santana and Brittany's but then again she didn't want to bother anyone. She put on the helmet, started the ignition and pulled out of the car park onto the streets of New York
… She couldn't help as more tears fell, disrupting her vision, she flipped up the visor and reached in wiping her tears, never slowing down, she flipped the visor back down; just in time to reach the junction ahead. The lights were green so she continued speeding forward on the outer right hand edge… she didn't see the car turning right without indicating, she didn't have time to react, the driver of the Volvo didn't see her coming. The front of the bike slammed into the passenger side door, she was thrown forward, her head went through the window, she could hear the glass shattering against her helmet, and her shoulders and chest hit the bottom of the window edge. The force sent a shock wave down her spine and she blacked out.
She didn't feel it but her body fell back, she was laying on the ground broken glass and people surrounding her. She woke when she felt her leg move. It was lying on top of her bike, which was leaking fuel, someone moved it away so it wasn't a hazard to herself.
She wasn't even sure how long she'd been laying there. Everything felt like it was moving in slow motion. She could hear her heavy breathing and slowing heart beat, as her eyes drifted open and closed repeatedly. "Quinn….Quinn" she was muttering, she could see a blue flashing light, reflecting on the surrounding building, then a shadow of a person came into her vision. After a moment the person removed the brunette's helmet. She started her desperate hazy ramble again "Quinn… I need…Quinn… I need t-tell her I-I lo.." she then blacked out again…
…
When she woke she felt familiar pains throughout her body, but they didn't compare to the heart break she could still feel. She didn't really think Quinn initiated or wanted to kiss Daniel, but seeing it happen just hurt her too much that she needed some time to herself. Now she was wishing she'd been brave and just stayed, and got through it then and there.
Now she was alone; aware of the hospital room around her. She could hear the steady bleep of her heart monitor, the murmur of distant voices out side the room in the corridor. She came to the point where she'd been awake long enough for her senses to take in her surrounding
She decided; first things first, figure out what the damage is. She was so relieved when she could move her fingers, she couldn't move her arms though, they were tired and constricted by what felt like bandages and casts. She was even more relieved when she was able to wiggle all her toes.
After that her thoughts went straight to Quinn, she started to whimper and cry, while her eyes stayed tightly shut, every small inhale and exhale hurt her chest with a burning ache but that didn't stop her from crying at the absence of the people she needed the most; the people she had, only just recently, abandoned.
She laid there; whimpering, in pain alone when she froze; she could hear many sets of foot steps, stamping the ground and she, for a moment, felt some hope. Rachel couldn't hold on as she, this time, slipped into an aching sleep
Out in the corridor a blonde woman with a tear stained face was running behind two children, a small boy, running as fast as his little legs could carry him, his light up trainers started flashing when his foot bounced off the floor, he was trailing mere centimetres behind his sister, her face red too and her hair flying from the speed and desperation at which she was running. The mother stopped them at a receptionist desk
"Excuse me" she started shakily, the nurse behind the desk looked up at her
"Can I help you?" The woman sounded tired but tried to be as polite as possible
"I hope so; I got a call saying a Rachel Bryant was bought in, we're her family, please can you at least tell me if she's okay" Quinn spoke desperately
"and how are you related to her?" the woman reached for the records, but kept eye contact with Quinn
"I'm her fiancée"
"Okay" the woman was un-phased by the situation "Rachel…?" the woman started flicking through papers in front of her
"Bryant, B-R-Y-A-" Quinn spelt the name out; more to calm her own nerves than actually help the nurse.
"Here it is" the woman pulled out the report. Alyssa stood on her tiptoes her fingers on the edge of the high receptionist desk as she peered over at the woman. Logan stood in between his sister and mother looking around him as doctors, nurses and other people passed them. "She was the one bought in after the motor cycle incident… They managed to stop the internal bleeding, her other injuries include: a broken collar bone on her left, 2 broken ribs, a minor concussion, fractured left ankle, two broken fingers on her left and her right wrist is sprained, along with many cuts and bruises; realistically that's minimal damage considering the situation... "
Quinn let out a shaky breath "And where is she, please?" Quinn was drumming her fingers on the desk top, not really just for impatience but as an attempt to calm her nerves
The woman turned the page over "She's currently here in the ICU unit… in the room behind you" the woman pointed "She's unconscious but, you can see her" she nodded
"Thank you" Quinn managed a grateful smile, the woman offered an apologetic one back. Quinn turned away and led her children to the room, she slowly opened the door and they ran to Rachel's bed side before she could stop them.
Logan held onto the bars on the right side of the bed, he looked through them up to Rachel's bandaged head, he then looked down to her hand, he reached through the bars (that made sure Rachel didn't fall out of bed) and held onto her exposed fingers (the rest of her hand was in a cast) Alyssa stood the other side looking up at Rachel's face too. Quinn stood further back; nearer the door, her hands over her mouth dampening the sounds she made as she sobbed at the sight of her fiancée so battered and bruised.
The faint noises, the contact of a much smaller hand holding onto her index and middle finger and the presence of people in the room stirred Rachel. She immediately looked to Logan; his sad expression brightened just a little "Hey little guy" she murmured, her voice rougher than usual
"Momma Rae!" he held her hand tighter
"Ally" she turned her head slightly to look at her step daughter "I'm so sorry I ruined your birthday"
"Its okay Rae-Rae" she stepped closer to the bed, putting her hand on Rachel's wrist
Now Rachel turned to look at Quinn who was stuck in the same spot, her hands still over her mouth, her breathing unsteady as she sobbed her heart out. Rachel attempted a weak smile at her "Quinn… come here"
The blonde stepped closer "Rachel, I-I'm so sorry, this is all my fault"
"Don't you dare blame your self, I'm sorry, it was me" None of them noticed the two new visitors standing in the doorway
"Logan, Ally, come with us" It was Santana and Brittany "Your mummy and momma Rae need a minute alone" Santana spoke surprisingly softly, for her usual self.
The children let their hands slowly slip from holding Rachel's before sadly leaving the room with their heads down. The other couple took one hand of one child and led them to the waiting room
Rachel twitched her fingers "Quinn, take my hand" the blonde pulled up a chair to Rachel's side and gently wrapped her fingers round Rachel's plaster cast hand "I-I'm so sorry, I do believe you, I know Daniel would do something like that just to hurt us…" she took a few breaths, her side in pain as she did. "I see it now and I'm sorry"
"Oh Rach, I'm sorry, that it happened, he just pushed himself on me I tried to push him off but, well you saw… I love you so much; I'm so relieved that you're okay"
"I'm so relieved that you're here, I was worried I'd screwed this up and you wouldn't come" she groaned
"How could I not, I love you and I want to be by your side for everything" she choked back a sob "… as soon as the hospital phoned I thought the worse" the tears started to fall again
"Hey, hey" the woman in physical pain tried to comfort the emotional one "It's okay, I'm here, everything will get better"
"I'll make sure it does" Quinn added, adamantly, as she wiped the fallen tears away "I'm going to be by your side every single minute, you're going to get sick of me"
"I don't think that's possible" Rachel started to laugh lightly but stopped when she felt the burning pain from her broken ribs "We spend all our time together anyway"
"Yeah but until your healthy and as normal as you usually are, I'm not letting you have a minute to your self"
"Promise" she tried to smile the best she could but she could barely open her mouth when she spoke, or open her eyes fully
"I promise"
…
A couple of days later and Rachel's condition was improving, she was still in a lot of pain but she no longer had a concussion so they could give her strong enough painkillers. Quinn hardly left her side, only to use the bath room or get some food. Santana and Brittany were also fitting their lives around their friends by taking the children to school and picking them up. Rachel and her fiancée were very grateful for their help.
Rachel slept quite a lot; her healing body was always exhausted. Quinn, however, had hardly slept properly. Every time she closed her eyes she felt the guilt, she heard and saw what she imagined happened in the accident and sometimes when she did get to sleep, horrific nightmares haunted her; all of the situations she saw were even worse than the reality she woke up too.
The only time she slept peacefully was when she was sat in the chair at Rachel's bed side and her head was resting on the bed next to her fiancée, her hand in the brunette's
…
Rachel felt the bed move near her feet; she then heard small voices which grew slightly louder as she woke up
As her eyes adjusted to the light she looked down groggily to see Alyssa sitting their quite happy, eating some vanilla ice cream
Logan was standing near her; looking up at his big sister "Ally, that's not fair I want some" he crossed his arms and stared up at her, pouting his bottom lip
"Well I got it first" she said back spitefully and shoved another spoonful in her mouth, She looked like most of it had missed her mouth all together (which was amazing for the girl; who was quite loud and bossy; you'd think she had a big enough mouth to not miss it)
"Alyssa!" Quinn walked into the room again, the girl froze before looking at her annoyed mother "I leave for 5 minutes for a bathroom break and you eat the ice cream I got for Rachel"
"Aww that was for me" Rachel alerted them all to her conscious presence, she shuffled to sit up in bed, her fiancée dashed over to move the pillows for Rachel's comfort "I want ice cream" she moaned childlike
Alyssa innocently offered the half eaten bowl to the recovering woman
"I'll go get some more" Quinn sighed before Rachel could stop her.
Soon Quinn was back with two more bowls, one for Logan and one for Rachel.
"You didn't have to go get more" The brunette reached for the bowl, she groaned in pain as she raised her arm, Quinn pulled it out of her reach anyway "I didn't say I didn't want it though" she pouted again, childishly.
"I know, I'm going to feed you" Quinn hinted a smirk
…
Quinn was by Rachel's side every moment through her surprisingly swift recovery (considering the state she was in from the accident). She was out of the hospital after 2 weeks, they said her condition was improving daily and she could (and should) finish her recovery at home.
Luckily for the brunette Quinn wasn't as tense once they were in the comfort of their own home. The pair was very lucky to have good enough employees who could handle the company while they were away. If there were any major problems Quinn (and sometimes Rachel when Quinn wasn't in the room) would handle them over the phone.
Through the time they spent so close together, the whole 'Daniel situation' was put behind them and forgotten.
End Flashback
"So where is it?" Rachel asked bringing them back from their memories and pulling the motorcycle key with the BMW badge on it, out of the box.
"It's in the garage, at the apartment, I had it dropped off there earlier today" Rachel could tell by the way her wife said it that something's was up
"What's wrong?... it's not got a giant bubble round it or something to protect me has it?"
"No" she said slowly "But it is bright orange" she bit down on her bottom lip in anticipation of the brunettes reaction
"Bright orange!" Her eyes were wide
"Well, like a metallic bright orange, it actually looks pretty good …and then I thought you'd be easier to spot by drivers and things" she said innocently
"…Thank you" she kissed her wife quickly on the lips "for looking out for me, and for getting me the best present ever" she grinned
"Oh I got you some new bike leathers, boot and a helmet, also" Quinn reminded herself as she told Rachel
"They're not bright orange too are they?" Rachel asked hesitantly
Quinn laughed "No, you don't have to worry about that, they're just like the ones you had before… and they still match the jacket and helmet you got me…" she said the last bit slowly, to emphasise her words
Rachel smirked curiously "Does that mean you still want to ride pillion with me?"
"I do enjoy our days out, when we leave the kids with their 'aunts' or 'uncles' and we go out on your bike… I've actually missed it" she said sweetly, her head resting in her hand, her elbow resting on the table as she smiled at the woman in the seat next to her.
"Oh I see" Rachel leant forward "So it was a gift that benefited you was it?"
"Maybe" she moved her head off her hand and leant over to Rachel's ear "Plus I love how hot your body looks in the leathers"
Rachel giggled and rocked away in her seat "You should have told me this before, think of all the opportunities I've missed"
Quinn rolled her eyes at her wife's teasing, but half way through the action Rachel pulled Quinn towards her and connected their lips
On the dance floor Kurt noticed the newly married couples interaction "They really are meant to be, look at them" Blaine turned his head and instantly smiled "Do you think we should break it up?"
"No, not yet… leave them, they're happy"
Let me know what you think…
