Chapter 4 Reunion

Brittany and Rachel walked over to a cute little diner and sat down. The waitress poured them coffee and handed them some menu's.

"I don't think they have much that's vegan here, I'm sorry Rae." Brittany said looking over the menu.

Rachel laughed, "I pretty much stick to vegetarian but I don't really hold to vegan anymore it was just too hard to follow in New York."

Brittany nodded, "What are you doing back in Ohio?"

The diva started to spin her little tale of a vacation before she stopped and looked into the bright blue innocent loving eyes of her friend and one of the women she loved, "I'm sorry, that's not true, it's just what I've been telling everyone. It was really hard Britt-Britt and not at all what I thought it was going to be like. I mean I'm getting parts and stuff but it's so cutthroat, I have no friends only competition and I'm lonely, really really lonely." She finished in a whisper.

The blonde reached over and took her hand, "I wouldn't have made fun of you Rae, that night was very special to all of us but I can't blame you for thinking we were capable of it."

Rachel looked up in shock, "I don't think it was all that special to Santana or Quinn."

"So Quinn falls apart after seeing you for no reason and Santana got that mad for no reason. You're not stupid Rachel; please don't pretend that you are. I know Quinn was already upset about Beth but she loved you and you know it. She told you in those emails you never answered. If you hadn't hurt Santana she wouldn't be acting like she wants to rip your heart out of your chest still beating either."

Rachel grimaced and shivered, "that really can't happen can it, can someone rip your heart out of your chest, it looks really difficult to get to a chest on those TV medical shows, I mean I suppose if anyone were capable of it then certainly Santana Lopez would be but…."

"RACHEL! Come back to the conversation, I wouldn't let her kill you ok?"

"Sorry, I'm nervous and I ramble when I'm nervous."

"I know, I missed you so much Rae, there was so much I wanted to tell you and I was afraid if I emailed you and you ignored me too I would cry and then Santana would be more upset for when you came back to us and it would take longer for her to forgive you."

Rachel was puzzled, "You knew I would come back?"

"Duh, you love us and we love you! I knew you would be as lonely as we are without you. See we are life a big puzzle, well maybe a small one with 4 pieces that fit perfectly together. We've only had 3 and sometimes only 2 since Quinn has been wigging out. We need all 4 pieces to be perfect again. It was destiny really."

The diva just shook her head at the logic of that, it was exactly how she had been feeling all these years, incomplete. She stared in wonder at the blonde across the table. She had this amazing ability to understand exactly what was happening and cut through all the garbage and get to the heart of the matter.

The waitress came back and took their order as the girls sipped coffee and orange juice.

"What will you do if you don't go back to New York?" Brittany asked.

"I'm not sure I even want to go back to Lima! I want to help Quinn and get Santana to trust me and be friends with everyone. I just don't see how that could work." She said sadly.

"It will be hard but as for Quinn, she's missed you so she would be easy to convince but she is very wounded Rae you can't hurt her again or I will be so mad at you. She can't take any more rejection, she just can't. So you need to be really sure before you make any promises you can't keep." Rachel nodded feeling guilty for her part in Quinn's sadness.

Brittany continued, "Santana would be harder but the whole key there is if you make Quinn happy and she starts getting better from you being around it would make her not want to hurt you so much right now."

Big brown calf eyes went wide as an owls at the continued reminder that Santana wanted to beat her up, "You won't let her beat me up will you Britt-Britt?"

Brittany shrugged casually, sipping her coffee, "As long as you don't hurt Quinn again."

The brunette continued to stare at the blonde in shock causing Brittany to start laughing hysterically, "Of course I won't let her beat you up silly! Honestly Rae it's like you don't know me at all!"

Rachel put her hand to her heart dramatically, "You scared me half to death Brittany Pierce that was not funny at all."

Brittany continued to laugh out loud, "Yes it was! You would think so too if you could have seen your eyes, they were bugging out!"

The diva just rolled her eyes in irritation. Both girls were quiet, lost in their own thoughts for a few minutes.

Rachel looked over and Brittany tearing up "What is it honey? I'm sorry if I hurt you or said something to upset you, please don't cry."

The blonde just shook her head, "I'm just so worried about Quinn, I mean last night was so bad, heroin for gosh sake, trusting Jesse. We can't lose her Rae, I couldn't go on living if we lost her."

The brunette leaned over and took the pale hand in her own tanned one, "We are not going to lose her, we are a complete puzzle now right? I love you Brittany and not like a friend, I'm in love with you, just like I am with Santana even though she frightens me sometimes immensely and with Quinn. I am in love with all three of you and have been since Junior High School. I was terrified of my feelings. I ran, but I couldn't live my life because you were right, it was incomplete without you. I don't care what anyone thinks anymore or what anyone says or how they judge us. I can't live without my girls in my life. I swear to you Brittany on the love I bear for you and Santana and Quinn, I will never run again. I'm here until you throw me out. Let me love you, let me help try to get our Quinn back?"

"I've always loved you too Rae, I'm sorry I was so mean when we were young, I was stupid back then about people's feelings. Let me handle Santana ok? Just Rachel please try not to piss her off all the time. You know what irritates her so just chill a little around her ok, at least until I can get her off the warpath ok?"

Rachel pretended to spit in her hand and stuck it out to Brittany, "Deal?" Brittany spit in her hand and held it out to Rachel, "Deal!"

"Oh god, Brittany you were only supposed to pretend to spit, ugh that's disgusting?" Rachel said in a prissy tone.

Brittany speared a forkful of pancake and shoved it in her mouth, "Why is it disgusting, you've had your tongue down my throat before and you've had it in my…"

"Ok Britt, I see your point, no need to keep talking about it!"

Brittany just laughed, "You are so silly sometimes but I'm really glad you back, I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too Britt-Britt!" Rachel said her eyes shining with tears.

Both girls settled into a comfortable silence as they finished eating their breakfast.
