Nothing Is Lost Chapter 3
"Ms. Berry we have to take your father in for surgery. His kidneys are failing." Rachel raised her head
"Another one?" She asked
"N-no more." Leroy started Jerry's tears fell from his face.
"Daddy please, don't you love us? Me, Jerry, Quinn. We need you to fight this. You have to get through this you have to get better you have to."
Tears flowed fluently down the diva's face. Jerry came over to her and held her shoulders.
"C-Can I-I-I talk t-to her alo-alone?" Leroy asked from the hospital bed. The doctor made his way out of the room with Jerry.
"We'll give you guys a moment. I'll go look for Quinn and Hiram." Jerry said
As the door closed Rachel sat on the bed next to him.
"Daddy why?"
"Rac-hel I-I'm tired fight-ting t-this. I l-lived and I'm t-tired of all of t-this and y-you h-have to move on with your life, please Rach let me go in peace."
A blubbering diva held onto her father.
"Daddy I-I-I"
"I k-know pumpkin, p-promise me you will m-move on and b-b-be hap-py I need y-you t-to be h-happy."
"I promise daddy, don't give up yet."
"I'm-m n-not b-baby." He replied
"Take c-care of Q-Quinn, y-you are p-perfect-t for each other."
"I will daddy."
Over the years, as Leroy sobered up he had gotten really close to Quinn, Santana and Brittany. The girls accommodated him in New York every Christmas before he met Jerry. He appreciated all Quinn has done for his daughter and the love they shared.

"Ms. Berry if you don't mind I'd like to talk to you and Mr. Berry." Quinn stood from her seat walking over to her fiancé.
"Babe I'm going to go get you something to eat I'll be right back okay?"
Rachel turned to look at her.
"Hurry back."
"You know I will."
With that Quinn walked out of the room heading towards the kitchen.
"Hey Quinn wait up."
The blonde turned around to see Hiram walking up to her.
"Hey." She said
"Can we talk?" He asked
"Sure I guess." She replied continuing to the cafeteria.
"What exactly is your relationship with my daughter?"
Quinn stopped and looked at the shorter man.
Quinn put a non-emotional stare on her face and addressed the shorter man.
"First off Mr. Berry-"
"Mr. Wilder; Berry is Leroy's lastname."
"Whatever, no offense to you sir but Rachel stopped being your daughter the day you walked out on her if she chooses to let you in then that's all her. Don't expect me to divulge her personal life to you, now we are here for Leroy and if you choose to discuss him and his wellbeing sure. Otherwise it was nice meeting you and I have to go get her something to eat." The blonde walked away from the man.
As she walked into the cafeteria she saw a familiar face, tempted to walk up to the person but yet wondering if her greeting would be welcome after what happened. She decided to chance it nonetheless and walked up to the man tapping him on the shoulder.
"May I help you?" He asked turning around.
"Mike Chang." She smiled wide and looked up to the taller man.
"Quinn Fabray as I live and breathe, I never thought I would see you back in Lima again. How the heck are you?" he asked pulling her into a tight hug.
"I not too bad, we weren't scheduled to come back but Rachel's dad is in the hospital. What are you doing here?" She asked as he put her down.
"He is? Ohmigod is she okay?"
"She's doing the best she can but it doesn't look too good I came to get her something to eat before I headed back to the room."
"Let me walk you there, I have some time before I go to surgery."
"So you're a doctor?" She asked
"Yep surgical intern, it's the bottom of the surgical food chain; but you have to start somewhere."
"That is true."
They walked into the cafeteria catching up. "So I've seen Rachel's career kicked off, what have you been up to? Oh and how are Santana, Brittany and Kurt?"
"Well Santana is a lawyer intern, yeah I know it's weird but she's good at it believe it or not, Brittany is teacher. She teaches dance, all types of dance and owns her own dance school for children. Kurt is a fashion designer he's actually designing Rachel and my dresses for our wedding and Blaine is a junior architect. I am book editor, I know it sounds boring but it's fun and I love it besides with a fiancé like Rachel Berry one must always have excitement in their lives."
As Mike took in what she said he couldn't believe what she was saying to see the Quinn Fabray he just met and the one he grew up with her change was apparent and he had to say he liked this new Quinn.
"Wow you guys are doing it big in New York aren't you?"
"Yeah you could say that."
Quinn ordered something for Rachel, Jerry and herself asking Mike if he wanted anything. After paying for the items they made their way to the hospital room.
"Are you and Tina still together?"
Before Mike could answer Hiram and Jerry came up to them.
"What's going on?" She asked
"The doctors want to go in again but Leroy doesn't want them to and He and Rachel are talking right now. It doesn't look good Quinn."
Quinn shoved the stuff into Mike's hand and took off towards the room not caring about hospital rules or the three men she left behind her. Rachel sat there with her father tears flowing from her eyes as her head rested against his hand. His eyes were closed and his breathing uneven yet soft. The blonde kneeled by her.
"Baby?"
"Q-Quinn he's going to." She looked up
"Shhhh baby." Quinn said stroking the hair out of the brunette's face.
Not noticing the three men enter the room Rachel stood from her chair and allowed Quinn to sit pulling her on top of her. Still gripping onto her father's hand she snuggled into Quinn's neck and closed her eyes sobbing. They remained that way for a while as Rachel fell sleep for the first time.
Quinn opened her eyes when someone knocked at the door. A nurse popped her head into the door as Quinn got a sense of her surroundings. Hiram left and she hadn't noticed when Mike or Jerry had gone.
"Ms. Berry, Ms. Fabray, some people are here to see you said they are family."
"Sure send them in."
Santana walked into the room followed by Brittany and Kurt.
"Hey." Quinn whispered
"How are they?" Brittany asked walking to the seat where the women were.
"He's worse and Rach is-"
"Rach is awake." Rachel said hoarsely opening her eyes.
"How are you honey?" Kurt asked
"I've been better." She replied her eyes darted to her father. Alarm hit her as she saw Leroy's eyes closed.
"He's just asleep baby." Quinn reassured her.
"So what do we know so far?" Santana asked
"His kidneys are failing and he doesn't want the surgery to fix them he wants to go in peace." Rachel said
"That's insane." Santana said. She's been pretty quiet throughout the entire time.
"It's what he wants San. I don't like it but it's what daddy wants." Rachel started crying again.
Santana rushed over to the smaller woman.
"I'm so sorry Rach, I'm sorry." She pulled her into a hug.
"G-guys can I-I talk t-t Quinn?" Leroy asked.
"Sorry Leroy we didn't know you were awake." Quinn replied.
"Daddy are you okay?" Rachel asked walking over to his side drying her eyes.
"I'm okay Rach I want to speak to Quinn if you don't mind."
"Anything daddy, guys let's give them a moment." As everyone filed out of the room Quinn walked up to Leroy's side.
"What's up Leroy?"
"I-I'm D-dying Quinn and I n-need you to d-do something for me."
"Sure anything Leroy."
