AN: I own nothing but an OC name Skylar but called Sky. Charlie is not mine. Someone on Tumblr invented her. I don't own the songs or the show.

I don't have a beta so all mistakes are mine. Also, most of this will be done on my phone while I'm in school so there are bound to be mistakes that I don't catch.

This chapter contains backstory for Rachel and Sky. The Fabray twins are coming over for dinner and there is a Quinn and Charlie scene you might like.

I'm also working on making all future chapters longer.

Enjoy.

CHAPTER 4

"How was school?" Shelby asked as they walked in.

"It was ok." Sky said placing her helmet on the side table along with her keys.

"Did she get into a fight Rachel?"

"No." Rachel answered casually slipping her shoes off then she slipped off Sky's riding jacket then her own. It was the middle of January so snow and cold was not a surprise. "How was work?" Rachel asked as Sky rubbed her arms. When she had given Rachel her riding jacket she was left with just a sweater.

"It was ok. Some of the kids have real talent." Shelby said a Sky sat in front of the fireplace where a fire was going and Rachel sat beside Shelby on the couch where she was looking through a box of photo albums. They still had to unpack.

"What happened to the clothes you were wearing this morning?" Shelby asked and Sky glanced at Rachel who cleared her throat.

"I split juice on it at lunch and my old friend Brittany was kind enough to let me borrow some clothes." Rachel said them looked at the photo album in Shelby's lap. "Is that Sky?" Rachel asked pointing to an infant and a man in a marines dress uniform.

"Yeah, Sky and her god father." Shelby smiled and glanced at Sky who was smiling happily and sadly at the same time while digging through a box beside her.

"You had chubby cheeks!" Rachel squealed.

They had met six years previously but even six years isn't enough time to catch up on ten years.

"And you had big ears." Sky smirked lifting a photo up.

Rachel frowned. "At least I can be proud of that photo." Rachel huffed. "That was taken while I was a part of a community play." Rachel beamed. "I should go see if Jerry still works at the community center." Rachel reminded herself.

"I'm sure he would love to see you again." Shelby smiled as she turned the page in the album and chuckled.

"What?" Sky asked.

"Do you remember this?" Shelby asked turning the album so Sky could see the picture and she smiled.

"My eight birthday, Davis surprised me the week before he went on his first tour of Iraq. I was so shocked I tossed the plate of cake up and it hit him in the face." Sky chuckled.

"He was lucky we had an extra uniform in the closet." Shelby added as Rachel smiled.

Rachel loved hearing about Sky's childhood. It allowed her the reminder of how different they grew up. It also reminded her that even if they were alike in a lot of ways they were also different. Sure they weren't identical but they were twins none the less. While Rachel had wavy hair Sky's was curly. Sky had their mother's hazel eyes and Rachel's were brown. Sky is five foot four and Rachel is five foot two. Rachel loved being a soprano while Sky had a tenor to low soprano range but stayed in the alto range unless given the low or higher parts of a duet. Rachel hated breaking rules while Sky didn't care for them.

"Sky, I was going to make spaghetti for dinner, would you mind going to the store and go grocery shopping?" Shelby asked as Sky shook her head. She hated the unpacking part. Hence why her room was a mess.

"Sure."

"List is on the fridge." Shelby said as Sky got up and headed into the nice kitchen. Sky loved the kitchen. Even though Hiram and Leroy left everything in their possession to Rachel before they passed they had still bought a new house. Rachel was only ten so everything was put away in a safe deposit box till she turned eighteen.

Sky liked the chandelier over the dining table and the kitchen island was perfect. The counter tops were marble and the floor tiled. The stove was nice and Sky knew she and Rachel would be baking twice as much since they had an over under the stove and a smaller oven under the microwave that was installed to the wall beside the stove. She grabbed the list and stuck it in her jean pocket before heading to grab her jacket. She was reaching for her keys when Shelby stopped her.

"Take my car. It's supposed to snow soon." Shelby said as Sky slipped on her shoes and grabbed the keys off the key rack.

Sky walked out to the Range Rover and got in. She drove to the nearby grocery store and sat in the car for a minute or two when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She pulled it out and read the text.

'Are we still together?'

Sky replied.

'I don't know.' She pocketed the phone and got out of the SUV and headed into the store grabbing a cart on her way. Knowing her mom she put more than they actually needed on the list and the grocery list grew once Rachel moved in and they had to adjust to supplying her vegan diet.

She headed to grab everything on the list for Rachel first since it was all in the same area of the store and headed to get the ingredients for their dinner and whatever else was on the list. She was about to head over to the bakery section when she nearly bumped into…

"Charlie?"

"Sky? What are you doing here?" Charlie asked then noticed how stupid she sounded.

"Shopping, mom sucks at it, Rachel buys too much or takes a long time and I get what we need and leave." Sky rambled.

Charlie chuckled. "Our mom is visiting our sister for the rest of the week and won't be home till Sunday and our dad is on some business trip for the next eight days."

Sky did the math in her head. It was Wednesday. "Well if you and Quinn would like we'd enjoy company. The house still looks like crap from all the unpacking but the kitchen and dining area are clean." Sky offered.

"I'd have to ask." Charlie said.

"Ask what?" Quinn asked walking up behind Charlie.

"If you wanted to join Sky and her family for dinner." Charlie said.

"Why?" Quinn asked.

"Charlie told me you two were on our own till Sunday and no one likes eating alone in an empty house." Sky said then added. "Unless you enjoy the freedom of it. You don't have to if you don't want too." Sky said as Quinn nodded.

"Ok."

"Ok?"

"We'll go." Quinn said.

"We will?" Charlie asked a bit too excited so she repeated. "We will?" calmer.

"Yeah, we've been alone in the house since Monday night, it gets creepy." Quinn said as Sky furrowed her brow. Shelby had toured with Wicked and other shows but even then Sky was tutored when she was with her and if not she stayed with Davis. When Rachel came to live with them that didn't change.

"Ok." Sky held out her hand. "Let me see your phone." Charlie handed it to her and Sky went into her contacts and added her number and address."There, if you get lost you can text me." Sky said. "We're having spaghetti for dinner if that's ok with you two."

"Sounds great." Quinn said sincerely. She can't remember since she had real spaghetti and not the TV dinner kind.

Sky tossed the groceries into the trunk of the Range Rover and shut the trunk door just as Charlie and Quinn walked out.

"No bike?" Charlie asked smiling as Sky turned and shook her head.

"Nope, mom said it was going to snow, plus I don't think all the groceries wouldn't have fit in my backpack." Sky said as Charlie giggled.

"Probably not." She said as Quinn made a gagging motion behind her.

"We'll see you later Sky." Quinn said dragging Charlie to her car.

"See ya!" Sky called as she headed to the driver's side and got in. She pulled out her phone and checked the ignored messages. One was from Rachel another from an un-named number and one she didn't really want to read. She chose to read the later first.

'I don't want to give up on us just because you're in a different state.'

'Why not? Everyone says we should break up.' Sky replied then opened Rachel's.

'Don't forget my gummy bears.' Sky chuckled. Rachel loved gummy bears and she hadn't forgotten.

Sky opened the last message and smiled.

'Can't wait for dinner, I wonder how the new badass is at home?-C'

'You'll just have to wait and see. :P' Sky replied then added the contact into her phone.

Charlie smiled as she read the text. Quinn gave her a disgusted look.

"You seriously can not be gay for the new girl." Quinn said.

"I am gay Quinn." Charlie reminded. "And why not?" Charlie asked.

"Have you seen her?"

"Yes, I have, she's hot."

"She's a bad influence!" Quinn shouted.

"She's free spirited."

"Stop defending her!" Quinn cried pulling into their driveway.

"Why are you being such a bitch?"Charlie asked getting out and slamming the door shut as she gathered the groceries.

"I'm always a bitch." Quinn scoffed grabbing some of the groceries.

"Never to me." Charlie said walking into the house.

Quinn sighed and followed her into the house closing the trunk and front door behind her. "Ok, I'm sorry. You're right, I may be mean to you but never a bitch." Quinn said as Charlie nodded waiting for her to continue. "But Sky is as she says; a badass. She breaks rules Charlie, if you two were ever to get together you'd have to set rules so dad and mom won't find out. She'll bend them till they eventually break." Quinn said as Charlie continued to put the groceries away.

"So what? Maybe I'm done hiding who I am from them!" Charlie shouted.

"I'll support you in everyway Charlie but if you tell mom and dad I won't be there." Quinn said and Charlie scoffed.

"So you'll support me till I get kicked out?" Charlie asked. "You would really toss me to the wolves just like that?"

"I'll protect you from whatever I can but mom and dad are something I can't protect you from." Quinn said. "Their image means more to them than us." Quinn told her and Charlie sighed.

"You're right. I'll cool it down with Sky." Charlie laughed dryly. "She probably has a boyfriend or girlfriend back in New York anyway."

Quinn hugged her. "Just be careful with her ok?" Quinn asked as Charlie hugged her back.

"Always."

Sky ran into the house shivering as she placed the bags down and ran out for the rest while Rachel grabbed the bags by the door. Sky brought the last of it into the kitchen after kicking the show off her shoes and locking the car.

"You bought a lot for more than just us." Shelby said looking over the spaghetti ingredients on the kitchen island.

"Yeah, I invited some friends over; I forgot to tell you before I left the store." Sky said pulling her arms out of the sleeves of her jacket.

"Oh, Who?" Shelby asked. She was surprised they had made friends this fast.

"Quinn and Charlie Fabray, their parents are out of town and I didn't want them to have dinner in an empty house alone." Sky said and Shelby smiled. Shelby adored seeing the sympathetic side of her daughter. The side that disappeared sometime after Rachel moved in and Davis' return from his second tour of Iraq when she was thirteen. Shelby spent a lot of time thinking of what happened but couldn't place it. She thought it was jealousy towards Rachel or if it was her being away on Broadway often or Davis being absent more than before.

"That was very thoughtful of you Sky, why don't you get ready for dinner." Shelby turned to Rachel. "Rach, set the table would you?" Shelby asked as Rachel nodded.

Rachel was shocked when Sky told her the Fabray twins would be their dinner guests and was now freaking out in her mind.

"The house is a mess! What will they think?' Rachel shook her head. 'Sky wouldn't have invited them over with out telling them.'

Once Rachel was done setting the table she ran upstairs and got ready for dinner. She changed out of the borrowed clothes and pulled the ruined ones out of her backpack and tossed them into the dirty clothes. She finally settled on shorts and a 'Wicked' T-shirt. She headed downstairs just as the doorbell rang. She opened the door and saw Charlie and Quinn standing on the porch with snow falling behind them.

"Come in." Rachel said as the two walked in and thanked her softly slipping out of their coats. Rachel took them and hung them up on the rack beside her.

"Thanks for having us." Charlie said as Quinn nodded.

"No problem." Rachel said.

Quinn didn't trust her mouth right now. She was afraid if she'd open it she'd say something about Rachel's gorgeous legs that seemed to go on for miles and the tone tanned skin and luscious ass…Mind out of the gutter Fabray! Quinn scolded herself. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice Sky coming down the stairs but she saw the look Sky gave her and looked away.

"Hey you make it ok?" Sky asked as Charlie nodded.

Sky had changed into basketball shorts and a long sleeve.

"That's good; mom isn't quite done with dinner." Sky said as her phone vibrated on the side table. She grabbed it and hit the ignore button. She'll deal with it later.

Shelby walked in wiping her hands on a dish rag. "Hello, I'm Shelby Corcoran, Rachel and Sky's mother." She shook both girls' hands.

"I'm Quinn and that's Charlie." Quinn said smiling politely pointing to Charlie.

"Nice to meet you both." Shelby said as she looked them over. "I just have to remember which one of you is wearing what or I won't be able to tell who which of you is." Shelby chuckled. "I think I would have gone insane if these two were identical." Shelby said as Sky and Rachel looked at each other then back at their mother.

"Us too." They agreed. They thought about it. Identical looks and being mistaken for each other and the clothes and voices…yeah, they were glad they were fraternal.

"It's not that bad." Charlie chuckled.

"Speak for yourself, the day I wasn't wearing my cheerios uniform someone called me you." Quinn said.

"You're a cheerleader?" Shelby asked as Quinn nodded.

Quinn and Charlie had also changed before coming over and both were wearing jeans. Charlie had on a navy V-neck and Quinn was wearing a frilly beige shirt with a gray cardigan over it.

"Yes." Quinn answered.

"Mom, when's dinner going to be ready?" Sky asked as Shelby gasped.

"Thank you for reminding me." Shelby ran back into the kitchen just as the water began to boil over the top of the pot.

"She remembers many lines, blocking and lyrics while on stage in front of millions of people. You would expect her to at least remember she's cooking dinner." Sky chuckled.

"Would you two like a tour?" Rachel asked as Charlie smiled at Sky who made a face.

"We'd love one." Charlie said as Rachel motioned for them to follow.

"We have the living room of course; it's a mess because Sky has been putting her packing aside." Rachel said looking pointedly at Sky who shrugged.

Quinn was only paying half attention to her. Her hearing was on Rachel but her sight was half on what Rachel was showing them and half on her legs and butt. She was glad Charlie has been paying too much attention to Sky to notice. Unfortunately for her Sky had been shifted her glances from Charlie to Quinn without her knowing.

"Here's my room, much neater than my sister's." Rachel said looking at Sky who rolled her eyes.

Quinn took in the room. It was painted pink with a pink and yellow comforter on the bed with many stuffed animals around it on a mantel above the headboard. The desk was in the process of being set up across from the bed and a dresser was by a door, a vanity and many Broadway posters covered the walls.

"Sky's room is across the…" Rachel trailed off as Sky ran out of the room into her own closing the door swiftly and locking it. Rachel led the two across the hall and put her ear to the door. There was a lot of shuffling before the door opened.

"Come on in." Sky smiled as the three walked in and Rachel gave Sky a look. "What?" Sky asked.

"Tossing things into the closet as well as under your bed isn't clean." Rachel told her.

"In who's book? Yours or mine?" Sky asked. "Besides, under the bed is clean, the closet is messy." Sky said as Shelby knocked on the door frame.

"Dinner is ready." She looked around the room. "Sky, clean out the closet later ok?" with that she left.

Charlie and Quinn couldn't contain their laughter and Sky gave them warning looks.

"I'm kinda disappointed." Charlie said as they stepped out of Sky's room.

"Why is that?" Sky asked.

"I was hoping to find some kind of blackmail to use on you while I was here."Charlie teased poking Sky in the ribs making her jump. Charlie raised an eyebrow and Sky put Rachel and Quinn between them hurrying to the stairs. "You're ticklish." Charlie said then smirked.

"Don't you dare." Sky warned.

"Or what?" Charlie challenged.

"When I think of it I shall tell you." Sky said walking into the kitchen to see Shelby struggle with the pan full of sauce spilling some onto the counter. "I got it mom." Sky said taking the pan while Shelby wiped up the mess.

"Thank you Sky." Shelby said as Sky poured the rest of the sauce into the bowl no problem.

Dinner was a quite affair full of small talk and the occasional joke. Charlie and Quinn were about to leave when Shelby opened the door and saw that it had begun to snow harder.

"Damn, I don't want you two to have to drive through that." Shelby said.

"It's fine; we have chains on the tires." Quinn said.

"None sense." Shelby said. "We have room for you two." Shelby turned to Sky. "Go drag the pull out into the guest room." Sky nodded and walking into the garage.

"It's fine, we can…" Rachel cut Quinn off.

"My mother is right Quinn and we don't want to be the reason why you are dead or in the hospital tomorrow." Rachel said.

"We just aren't going to win here Quinn." Charlie said as Sky shoved the pull out into the hall and pushed it into past them and into a room across from the kitchen.

"We haven't gotten the bed set up in there yet so I hope the couch isn't a problem." Shelby said.

"You're already doing enough, the couch is fine." Quinn said sincerely.

"I'll go get some blankets." Rachel said heading upstairs.

Sky walked in. "If you wake up to someone walking around or in the kitchen around midnight I apologize." Sky said. "I don't sleep well so I try to occupy myself." Sky said.

"No problem." Charlie said as they heard a vibration coming from behind her. Sky reached past Charlie and picked her phone off the side table.

"I have to take this." Sky walked out of the foyer to the kitchen and out the backdoor.

Rachel walked down with an arm full of blankets and Quinn was quick to relieve her of some. "Thank you Quinn."

"No problem Rachel."

That made Rachel smile. Something about the way her name came out of Quinn's mouth made her feel giddy.

Rachel led Charlie and Quinn to the guest room and they heard Sky shout through the glass sliding door.

"I don't know anymore Tess!"

"I apologize for her; she and her…friend are in a rough patch at the moment." Rachel said not wanting to out her sister to people they had just met.

"It's fine." Charlie said as Rachel smiled and left.

"Goodnight, Quinn, Charlie."

"Goodnight Rachel." They answered in unison. Rachel giggled.

"That was funny but in a way very weird." Rachel said as she left shutting the door behind her.

Five minutes later Charlie walked into the kitchen for a drink and Sky had just stepped back into the kitchen herself still on the phone.

"I don't care Tessa, everyone said we wouldn't last, we just proved them to be right." Sky sighed. "Sometimes love isn't enough." Sky sighed hanging up. She pocketed her phone and noticed Charlie and blushed instantly.

"Hi. I was just getting a drink." Charlie said.

"Oh, right, middle right cupboard." Sky said.

"You ok?" Charlie asked and Sky nodded.

"I will be." Sky scratched the back of her neck. "That was my um…my girl…ex girlfriend." Sky said.

"So that's why you hit Karofsky?" Charlie asked regretting her words.

"No, I hit Karofsky for saying something derogatory, I'm gay, sure, but I hate derogatory terms, Rachel was picked on for having two dads while she lived here so when I learned that I swore that I wouldn't let anyone mess with her again. Today I didn't care that Karofsky was messing with me, I cared because he involved my sister. I still would have hit him if that slushy had only hit me though." Sky shrugged.

"How long were you two together?" Charlie asked changing the subject.

"Me and Tess?" Sky asked as Charlie nodded. "Four months. If you ask Rachel she'd say we were doomed from the beginning and now that I look back at it we were." Sky said. She had no idea why she was telling Charlie this. It just felt easy to.

"How so? If you don't mind me asking."

"We're both hard headed and too stubborn for are own good and too opposite, while I'd love to just hang out on a weekend she'd prefer going out and flaunting our relationship to others. I'm a private person so she always got mad at that. So I guess it was a good thing we broke up." Sky shrugged. "What about you? Dating anyone?"

"Not at the moment." Charlie answered as Sky looked over at the microwave clock.

"I should let you get to sleep." Sky looked over what Charlie was wearing. "Do you and Quinn want something to sleep in?" Sky asked as Charlie sipped her water.

"That would be great actually." Charlie said as Sky motioned for her to follow her.

They got to Sky's room and Sky pulled open the walk-in closet door.

"Wow, you did just shove everything in here." Charlie commented as Sky pulled a box out.

"Quick cleaning." Sky said opening the box and grabbing gym shorts from her New York high school and a large Nightmare before Christmas shirt. "The bathroom's next door."

"You don't have your own?"

"No, mom didn't want fighting so she gave both of us a luxury, Rachel gets the en suite, I get the walk-in." Sky said as Charlie nodded and walked to the bathroom.

When Charlie returned Sky handed her pajama pants and a gray scoop neck. "See you in the morning." Sky said.

"Goodnight." Charlie said as she headed for the door.

"Night."

Review please. :-)

And tell me what you think please and if there is anything you would like to see happen.

I am also working on the sequel to 'Love Unknown' for those who have read it know it will be a crossover with Twilight. Should I put it in the crossover section or keep it here in the Glee section?
