Rachel froze at the door presuming the worst; she didn't get into Vocal Adrenaline. She shook her head when her Dads asked her to come in as she saw Jesse's car still parked, he was obviously wondering why she hadn't closed the door yet. If they say she hasn't made it then maybe she could get Jesse to convince Coach Corcoran to let her join the glee club, however what she was told shocked her even more, something she wouldn't have been able to control for.

Her Dad Hiram told her simply "This is Shelby Corcoran, your biological mother".

When Rachel didn't reply instantly Leroy went into a large explanation "You see, as we're gay there was no way we could have a child as well we are both male, we looked into adoption for a really long time but in the end we knew that we wouldn't get a child with us being gay, they weren't as accepting as they are now. So your father and I decided that using a surrogate mother would be the only way we would get a baby and so we put an ad in the paper. Shelby here volunteered and agreed to all of our terms. Originally you two weren't allowed any real contact until you were 18 years old and she signed a contract saying that she couldn't contact you until you were 18. However now you being in her school and joining Vocal Adrenaline to which she is the coach, it makes things tricky. She knew it was you instantly and called us up to see what she could do so we decided it was best to tell you the truth, now how do you feel sweetie?"

Rachel had three expectant eyes on her, waiting for her opinion but for once in her life Rachel was speechless. After a few moments of silence Jesse appeared behind Rachel wondering why she was still standing at the door, he gently laid a hand on her hip "Rachel?" he asked not seeing the three adults until he got to her.

Rachel turned around and looked at Jesse; she still didn't know what to say and ended up staring at him like she couldn't even remember her own name.

"Let us all go inside" Hiram suggested, as he took both Rachel's and Jesse's wrist and gently tugged them in.

Both Jesse and Rachel allowed Hiram to lead them to the large arm chair in the living room, Jesse sat down and instinctively pulled Rachel onto his lap while Hiram and Shelby occupied the 2 seat settee, Leroy however decided to pace back and forth, he hated silence and needed to say something but after several pointed look from Hiram every time he opened his mouth, he managed to refrain from speaking.

After about 10 minutes and Leroy walking in and out of the living room, he cracked

"Say something!" he begged, his voice sounded a lot louder then it was due to the silence around him

"Did you all agree completely on the contract?" Rachel asked, her voice quiet and thoughtful

She received two 'Yes' from her Dads but a 'No' from Shelby. Both Hiram and Leroy suddenly looked at Shelby with shock.

"We'll be back in a moment" Hiram told Rachel and Jesse calmly before practically dragging the other two adults out of the room to 'talk'

"So, how do you actually feel?" Jesse asked quietly

"I am so happy and excited to know who my Mum is, I really just wanted to hug her tightly and tell her about my life, but I feel if I … I've always needed my Mum but I've been too afraid to ask my Dads because I didn't want to offend them or make them feel as if they weren't enough for me, because they were but I've always felt like a part of me was missing and that part was my Mum. I needed her on so many occasions, I just… Do you think Shelby wants to be in my life, or do you think by me joining Vocal Adrenaline I've forced her? What if she doesn't actually want to know me, I'm just something she carried around for 9 months and that's it. I mean she's never been in my life, I've always presumed that she didn't want me but part of me hoped so much that she did, that if I become a massive star she can see me and be that's my girl, be proud of me. Don't get me wrong I love my Dads they are more then anybody could want or need but a little girl needs to know who her mother is. I can not believe Shelby Corcoran is my mother? I never would have thought that the coach of a rival glee club would be my mother and…." Rachel ranted and rambled her entire thoughts but instantly stopped when her parents walked back into the room

"What were you saying?" Leroy asked hopefully

Jesse waited for Rachel to answer but when she didn't he quickly processed everything Rachel had told him and spoke to them "Rachel wants to know why Shelby Corcoran wanted Rachel to know she was her mother"

Rachel nodded in agreement thankful he was there, although she was scared for the answer and for how much Jesse would tell her parents… all three of them… about what she had just told him.

Shelby received 4 expectant eyes waiting for her to answer "Well" she looked at Leroy and Hiram who nodded "At the beginning I was fully prepared to just carry you and give you to your Dads, who were so nice and I saw how much they wanted you and would care for you, so I signed the contract while I was only just pregnant with you, however by the time you were born I really wanted to be part of your life, I even mentioned it to them, not as obvious as I could have. I wasn't even able to hold you Rachel. The biggest regret I ever made is giving you up willingly"

Leroy, Jesse and Rachel had tears in their eyes hearing this but all held them in and pretended they weren't touched, Jesse didn't speak as he knew his voice would give off how emotional what Shelby said was. The living room fell quiet once again.

No one was willing to talk as they all deep in thought, it had been 20 minutes since anybody had made a sound, it was unexpected that Jesse was the first one to brake the silence, "I hate to interrupt your thoughts, but I'm just going to be put Rachel in her bed and then go home" He said gently standing up with a sleeping Rachel in his arms.

Leroy nodded for Jesse to continue, when they didn't give any directions Shelby stood up "How do you know where her bedroom is?"

Usually Jesse would struggle to tell the mother or father how he knew where there daughters room was, because the usual reason was no very appropriate, he was desperately thinking of a good lie when Hiram spoke up for him

"Jesse helped us unpack, he knows the house just as well as Rachel, myself and Leroy do at the moment"

Jesse nodded with agreement and quickly left the room, while he was walking up the stairs he realise that Hiram was right, that is how he knew where her room was, because they hadn't actually slept together. What was even more worrying is, he didn't mind.

And that is chapter 4 :)
