Two weeks later...

"Hey gang!" Mr. Schuester beamed at the glee club. Their favorite teacher was wearing an accustomed lightly tanned vest over a white dress shirt, his curly hair was shining from a recent coat of hair gel. It was extremely early this morning for the glee kids, the previous night they had all received emails informing them that their would be an emergency glee club meeting the next days morning. Unfortunitely the meeting was set for seven in the morning and each glee club member made a yawn or talked in hushed grumbles.

"First off, I want to apologize for calling this meeting, but... I have some exciting news." A outrageously animated smile radiated across the teacher face, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Let me guess..." Santana said with mock excitement. The agitated Latina tapped a fingertip against her chin, exaggeration becoming truly apparent, beside her Brittany's head fell tiredly against her shoulder, a soft but precious yawn escaping the not so perky blonds lips. "Hmm... They found a way to enclose the gap between your gorging chin?"

"No." Mr. Schuester replied, a smile still beaming, obvious unfazed by Santana's snarky comment.

Kurt raised his hand, then delicately brushed back a stray brown hair that threatened to sweep across his freshly moisturized forehead. "You have finally decided to commission the spot light to those equally deserving?"

Mr. Schuester's glazed over somewhat, his mouth opened ajar in puzzlement.

"No..."

"Mr. Schu, are we-"

"No Sam."

An unmistakable scowl broadened across the blond boy's face. Sam Evan's normally didn't really care about putting in his opinion into conversation but many times Mr. Schuster cut him off. Of coarse there was some vacancy on the top floor but Sam wasn't stupid. Ever since he joined the glee club all he was appreciated for was his body, not his brains or his voice. He had sung 'The Time of My Life' With Quinn at sectionals but other then that he didn't sing as much as he wanted to.

"Anyways..." Mr. Schuester continued, his hands pressing together before clapping them. "We have a special guest here today. I want you to give her a warm welcome. Come on in!"

The glee kids looked up expectantly, their sleepiness leaving for a moment as the door to the choir room slowly opened. Before them stood the one, and Mckinley Highs only Rachel Berry, with a familiar bright smile.

"Rachel!"

"Berry!"

Shouts of happiness boomed throughout the fairly small choir room and their was a loud scraping of chairs as all the glee kids quickly raised themselves from their chairs and stood next to the blushing brunette, a fleet of gleeful teenagers giving the brunette hugs marking her return. Rachel made a gasp as even Santana gave her a tight hug, she knew that Santana was no longer completely hateful of her but it was still a shock to receive a hug instead of an ice cold slushi.

The previous week Rachel was released from the hospital and into the care of her fathers. Despite being looked after almost on a 24/7 basis her fathers did leave her alone when visitors came to see her. Everyone had come to visit Rachel at some point during that week. Kurt and Mercedes on monday, who came with the past yearbooks, explaining her relationship with almost each glee member, but not mentioning her relationship with Quinn.

"Wait a moment. Am I hearing this correctly... I dated Finn, Noah, and a boy named Jesse."

Kurt nodded and a pleased smile crossed over Rachel's face. In public school Rachel had always had big plans for high school, she always wanted people to realize what an incredible and talented person she was. Usaully she was critisized for trying to be herself, despite what a catch she was, apparently she was good enough to handle three teenage boys.

On Tuesday Mike and Tina visited, bringing a special recipe for soup that was said to cure 'anything'.

"I'm pretty sure it won't cure memory loss, but thank you." Rachel bubbled with a smile and raised her eyebrow as she saw the two holding hands. It was more then unexpected that Mike and Tina were dating, a goth stuttering teenage girl with a football player. They looked remarkably happy and the sight made Rachel sigh in admiration.

On Wednesday Sam had stopped by, his hands holding a CD case.

"Hi Rachel, I'm Sam. We're not really close friends, but... How are you feeling?" The awkwardness was easy to spot in Sam, a free hand running through his overgrown blond hair and his posture looking strict. Sam was undeniably cute, a wide but friendly smile matched with green eyes and a athletic body.

"It's nice to be reaquainted with you again, Sam. I am not feeling my normally fantastic self but in the words of my hero, Barbara Streisand, I just don't want to be hampered by my own limitations."

Sam nodded politely and suddenly held out the case. "I know that you love those broad way musicals, and you probably have a lot of the music from them but I made you a couple CDs."

Rachel took the case from Sam, her eyes sparkling as she opened the case, reading the scribbles that were mean't to be titles on the CDs. "Is there any wicked?"

"You talk about how 'Defying Gravity' Is like your favourite song so... Definitely." Sam grinned, beginning to relax and he sat down at a chair that was placed beside the bed.

"Thank you Sam, it's a very thoughtful gift." Rachel looked up at Sam, catching those warm green eyes looking back at her. The brunette felt her cheeks flush and placed the case of CDs on her bedside table before returning her gaze back to Sam.

"When do you think you'll come back to school?"

Rachel sighed and shook her head. "I wish I knew, my dads are sceptical about letting me go back, after what... happened. I hope soon." She felt a thrill of excitement, from what she was told and what she knew, she was the star in glee club, was being chased by cute boys, and her hyattus was off the charts. But the uncertainty Rachel felt with not remembering what happened the previous three years was driving her a bit crazy.

"Hope you feel better and lora menari." Sam smiled before stepping back and leaving the room, leaving an a raised eyebrow on Rachel's face. lora menari?

After a few minutes of talking and excitement Mr. Shesuster clapped his hands. "Why don't we give Rachel some time to rest and talk about some songs we would like to do for sectionals."

"I assure you Mr. Shuester that I am in prime condition, my vocal cords are deprived and need to be extenuated." Rachel said brightly but sat down with the others in their chairs, taking a seat in between Sam and Brittany.

Besides Brittany Santana was typing on her blackberry and nudged Brittany before passing her phone to the blond. It read;

Should we call Quinn?

Brittany looked up, gently biting her bottom lip but typed quickly before returning the cell phone back to Santana.

At lunch

Both girls gave each other a smile before watching Mr. Shuester explain what the glee clubs thoughts were on sectionals, Rachel face slowly turning from pleasent to agony. Rachel Berry was back to her old self.

A/N - I apologize for not writing in so long. To be honest school has been keeping me insanely busy and I hadn't been able to write from lack of inspiration. Also, I have recently gotten a bad cold, lots of sneezing, coughing and an occasional nose bleed but I really wanted to start writing again. I promise to write some updates for my others stories as soon as I can. My next chapter I plan to have Quinn come back to school, not possible. I am still thinking of the interaction between Quinn and Rachel so we will see.

P.S sorry for the short follow up and hope my readers forgive me, If I don't update soon you can kick my butt :P
