Turning Tables:

The Plan

"What am I doing here?" a male voice said

"We're here to discuss The Plan" a girly voice said

"And why do you need us?" an angry Latina said "Because my Cheerios have practice in 10 minutes"

"I think it's cute what you're doing" a bubbly blonde said from her place on her wife's lap

"You remind me of a young Sue Sylvester" an old (well, she didn't look that old) blonde said "You've a pretty wicked mind"

"I thought I reminded you of a young Sue Sylvester!"

Someone whistled gaining the attention "We're here to discuss the plan! So" she paused for a second "You know how today is Friday of Bacon?" the other five people in the room nodded "Well, the first phase is hide all the bacon" she pointed to the drawing of a girl hiding bacon that was on the white board "Second phase is getting her angry" then she pointed to the drawing of an angry woman "Third phase is…"


The Berry-Fabray family was eating dinner in an uncomfortable silence (something that wasn't weird); Quinn was at the head of the table, Rachel was at her right and Jane at her left (because she was her favorite, even if she denied it, always claiming that she had no favorites. But please! Jane was the one that chose to be on the Cheerios just like her), Marley was sat beside Rachel and Beth in front of her little sis.

"Rachel?" Quinn said with her usual fake smile and cold voice "Where's my bacon?"

Rachel's eyes widened while she dropped her silverware "The-there was no more bacon left, and I didn't have time to go to the store" she looked down to her food "I'm sorry"

"You're sorry?" the blonde chuckled "I only ask you for bacon one a week" she said through clenched teeth "I kill myself working at the clinic everyday to support our family, and I only ask for these once a week. You can't do anything right"

Rachel had unshed tears in her eyes, she was about to say something but was interrupted by a loud bang on the table.

All the heads turned quickly at Beth, who slammed her fist against the table

"Beth, sit down" the blonde said while glaring at her daughter

"No!" she shouted back at her mother "I'm sick of how you treat mom! Don't you think that we don't here every time you yell at her?! I'm tired of you and your, oh so called love, which you haven't been able to give us since before the accident! I'm sick of you being this…" she paused before saying with venom "this cold hearted bitch that just cares about herself and her reputation. You don't care about us, you don't care about mom" she got up from her place of the table and exited the room, not without looking at Quinn right in the eye and saying "You're not my mother"

Jane's jaw dropped at her sister's outburst, Marley was crying while being consoled by Rachel and Quinn was furious, so she got up and stormed off the table to her daughter's room.

Once in the room, she saw Beth stuffing clothes on one of her bags.

"What do you think you're doing?" Quinn said furiously

"What do you think I'm doing?" she mocked her mother

"Don't mock me young lady" she said while pointing at Beth with her index finger

"I'll mock you if I want to" she said with venom "Because I don´t respect you"

"While you're leaving in my house, you're going to follow the rules" with a smirk on her face Quinn crossed her arms, claiming the victory to the battle.

Beth sighed while taking her bags "You're right" Quinn's smirk just got bigger "That's why I'm leaving this house" and with that statement the blonde's smirk fell

"You're not going anywhere"

"Watch me" she got out of the room without thinking twice, without looking back.


Later that night, Jane found herself curled to Marley on Beth's bed. After the whole fight at dinner, Marley had stopped crying; but then she started crying again when she asked for Beth and was told that she was not coming back. She was about to fall asleep when she felt the bed dip beside her, followed by arms encircling her waist.

"Are you okay?" she whispered, not wanting to wake up Marley

"No"

She turned around and hugged her mom while she sobbed. "Shh, it's going to be okay"

"She left" the brunette whispered

Jane was about to say something when her room's window opened. "Who's there?"

"It's me" Beth said while coming through the window

They both got up from the bed and enveloped Beth in a hug

"I'll come back for you" she whispered "I just came to tell you that, I need to leave before-"

"Rachel?" Quinn's voice came from the hallway

"I-I need to go" she said before kissing her sister and her mother on the forehead "I'm staying at Aunt Tana's, call me if you need anything" with that, she disappeared through the window.

Jane had just gotten back to bed when Quinn entered the room

"Baby, come back to bed" she said while hugging Rachel from behind, who tensed at first but then relaxed

"I was just tucking the girls" the brunette whispered "Do you think Beth´s going to come back?"

"She'll come back, I promise"

Rachel always believed Quinn's promises, but for the first time in years, she was starting to lose faith on her wife's words.


"The plan is entering its fourth phase" Beth said when she entered her aunt's house

"I can't believe you left your house" Santana said with a tone of disbelief

"I know, I can't believe it either"

"What did your mom said?" Brittany asked when she joined them

"She cried" she said with a frown on her face "She was in my room, curling against Jane and Marley in my bed" sighing, she sat down on the couch next to her aunts "I hope they're okay"

"They'll be" the Latina kissed her niece on the forehead

After a few seconds of silence, Brittany spoke up "And why didn't you bring your mom and your sisters with you?"

"I wanted to, God, how I wanted to. But I couldn't" she paused "I just need to wait, when Quinn makes a mistake, I'll get my family out of my house faster than you can say Supercalifragilisticexpialid ocious"

"Beth? Why do you call your mom Quinn?" the Latina asked

"She stopped being my mother when she laid a finger on my mom" the teenager said with tears in her eyes "It's so hard, you know? Not being able to do a thing to defend my mom. And the worst of all is that she won't defend herself" she cleaned her tears with the sleeve of her sweater. I don't know what's going to happen when Quinn knows about the pregnancy

"Pregnancy?" Both women said at unison

"Shit, I said that aloud didn't?"

"So let me get this straight, Rachel is pregnant?" she saw her niece nod "How?"

"They went to the doctor two months ago; I think" she furrowed her brows "Only me and my sister knew, and now you know too…please don't tell mom"

"We won't tell her" Brittany said, she saw that her wife was about to say something so she held her hand up "We won't tell her San, I know that you're thinking on the 'What if's' and you're worried about Rachel because of what happened last time. But we're not going to tell her until she tells us, okay?"

Santana wasn't okay with it, Rachel has been like a sister to her, and she didn't like one bit what was happening. She had talked to Rachel about Quinn's…issues, but she always got the same answer "I love her, I can't leave her"

"I'll go to my room and call Nana double S to tell her what happened, can you call No-No?" when she saw them nod she stood up, hugged them and gave them a kiss "Goodnight, thanks for everything. Aunt Tana?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"When you are finished can you come to my room and sing to me?" Beth said with a slight blush on her cheeks. Since Quinn got in the accident and everything changed, Beth needed someone to sing her to her sleep, sometimes it was her mom or Jane, when she stayed someone else's house, she just put on her earphones; but she every time she was in her Aunt's house, she asked Santana to sing to her. Even when she stayed at her Nana's she sang to her (but if you ask her she would deny it). When she saw her Aunt nod, she headed upstairs, got out her phone and dialed her Nana's number.

"Sue Sylvester speaking, if you're a salesman don't waste your time, if you're trying to play a prank on me I know where you live and I'll kill you"

Beth just chuckled at her Nana's way of answering the phone "I think that a hello would have been okay"

"Hey kiddo, how are you?"

"I'm fine Nana, the plan is coming along"

"How did it go?"

"You know the usual. Quinn yelled at Mom, I defended Mom, Marley cried, I stormed off, Quinn came behind me, we fought, I left, and now I'm Aunt Tana's"

"You remind me of a young Sue Sylvester" Beth silently chuckled at her Nana's statement "You're stubborn, loyal and kind of lovable"

"Don't tell my sister you said that" she said laughing

"So, what's next?"

"Well, I'll wait for Quinn to make a mistake. And I know how to speed the process"

"Don't you think it's a little disturbing that you're plotting against you momma?"

"She stopped being my mother when she laid a finger on my mom"

"Okay, what's the next phase?"

"Well, do you remember a couple of years ago when…"


Meanwhile down stairs, Santana and Brittany where talking to No-No

"So, it worked?" the male voice asked

"We're halfway the plan"

"What's next?"

"Wait for Quinn slipping up"

"And how long will it take?"

"I don't know Puck" the Latina said while rubbing her temple

Yes, Noah Puckerman was the famous "No-No", it was a weird nickname but he wouldn't change it for the world. He couldn't be part of his daughter's life as a father so he became the cool uncle (with the childish nickname)

"I have to go, but call me if you need anything."

"Yes Puck, love you" both women said at unison

"Love you too Brittana" then he hang up.

They got up from their place on the couch and started heading upstairs. They walked through the hallway and stopped outside Beth's room (which used to be Santana's studio until Beth claimed it as her own)

"I'll go in a minute" the Latina said

"I'll wait for you, take your time" the blonde said before heading to their bedroom

Santana knocked the door, she heard a faintly "Come in", she opened the door and headed to her niece's side

"What do you want me to sing?" she said in a whisper

"Can you sing The Light?"

"Sure, close your eyes" when Beth complied she started to sing "In the morning it comes

Heaven sent a hurricane

Not a trace of the sun

But I don't even run from rain

Beating out of my chest

Heart is holding on to you

From the moment I knew

From the moment I knew

You were the air in my breath

Filling up my love soaked lungs

Such a beautiful mess

Intertwined and overrun

Nothing better than this

Ooh, and then the storm can come

You feels just like the sun

Just like the sun

And if you say, "Be alright"

I'm gonna trust you, babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say, "Be alright"

I'll follow you into the light

Never mind what I knew

Nothing seems to matter now

Ooh, who I was without you

I can do without

Unknown to Santana, Brittany snuck out of their bedroom and tip-toed to Beth's room, not wanting to break the spell. She stared at her wife with a smile on her face while she sang softly to their niece; if Brittany was true to herself, it was like a taste of the future, of ho Santana would be with their own kids.

No one knows where ends

How it may come tumbling down

But I'm here with you now

I'm with you now

And if you say, "Be alright"

I'm gonna trust you, babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say, "Be alright"

I'll follow you into the light

Let the world come rushing

Come down hard, come crushing

All I need is right here beside me

And all the love I'm swearing

Take my love and wear it

Over your shoulders

And if you say, "Be alright"

I'm gonna trust you, babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say, "Be alright"

I'll follow you into the light"

When she finished the song, she noticed that Beth was snoring lightly, she dropped a kiss on her forehead and headed to the door, where she was met with her wife's loving gaze.

"You are awesome with her" Brittany whispered before pecking her wife's lips "Do you think someday will have kids?"

"Soon Britt" she said while eying her niece "We'll have kids soon"

"I love you San"

"I love you too Britt Britt"


In the Berry-Fabray household, two naked bodies were moving under the sheets. They moved with synchrony, knowing exactly what the other one wanted. They tried to show the love that they felt for each other, the love that they sometimes couldn't express with words.

"I love you Rach" Quinn whispered when they finished "Never forget that"

"I love you too Quinn" Rachel said while snuggling to her wife "Let's go to sleep, tomorrow will be a better day"

They hoped that tomorrow would be a better day; that the dark clouds that settled on the sky went away, letting the warm of the Sun reach their bodies. Rachel hoped for the return of their daughter and to find a way to save their marriage, while Quinn hoped that all her efforts didn't go to waste anytime soon.

Rachel's breath evened out, signaling that she was asleep; Quinn just looked at her wife while she ran a hand through brown locks, she sighed, thinking that all the words that her daughter said were true, they got through her heart. She started to think of all the times that she had treated Rachel like today, of all the times that her temper got the worst out of her and Rachel was the one who received everything (her anger, her frustrations, etc); she knew that somewhere along the road she had gone wrong and she knew that she needed it to fixed one way or another.


The Plan is on!

Sneak Peak: Quinn knows that something is going on with Rachel, and a big FIGHT!

The song is The Light by Sara Bareilles

See you folks soon :)
