Chapter 6

Claire

A short while later, Quinn's girlfriend , Claire had arrived.

Claire had a key to the apartment and Quinn heard the sound of the locks turning as she jumped off the couch and towards the door.

Once she was in the house, she took one look at her Girlfriend , she looked completely frazzled and stressed out, of course, this was a big change and shocking news for Quinn.

"I need you.." She said in an emotional tone before collapsing in her arms.

"I am here , don't worry , We will get through this.." She said as she slowly guided Quinn towards the couch so they could both sit and talk.

After a few moments Quinn's tears subsided and she sat leaning against her Girlfriend.

"Okay Q.. Let's talk.." Claire said softly.

Quinn leaned up slightly and looked at her girlfriend.

" Claire. I'm so lost..." She admitted. " I don't know if I can take care of her full-time , all year long , I mean how will she- " Quinn was interrupted.

" We can handle her Quinn , she is our daughter " Claire said ending that conversation.

Quinn smiled as she thought of how lucky she was to have her girlfriend.

Beth's POV :

~ 5 years later

My alarm clock goes off and I groan. The pain in my head is killing me. I partied way too hard last night. I reach over to my alarm clock on my bedside table and turn it off as I heard.

"Beth!" I hear my Mom shout. I roll over in the bed and check the time. 8:06 P.M. F*ck! "Beth, get down here, breakfast is ready!" I groan and swing my legs over the side of my bed. I unlock my phone and see that there is a message from Marc.

[From MARC ]

Night night, love, I missed you xx

[Sent at 03:14 A.M]

I don't even Know , how to tell my Mom and Claire about that , I don't even now if they would understand.

I stayed in New York with my mom and step-mom 5 years ago , last month and since then it's been non-stop partying. My mom and Claire were on vacation and they will come home today, so I decided to have fun while it lasted. I guess I had too much fun last night.

The only reason I turn off my alarm clock and actually get up is because I don't want to screw up my last year in high school but who am I kidding , I will end up screwing it since we are in the second semester and I am already screwing up.

When I was Fifteen, My mother and Claire got married and that didn't change my life at all as they were already living together and parenting me together , and last they grounded me together.

Claire is much closer to me than my actual mother. Claire is 30 and she is younger than my mom by 4 years. I remember her helping me get my first tattoo when I was fourteen On my wrist , A little lily and when she convinced my mom into buying me the new IPAD20A , so I knew when I opened this subject , she was going to help me.

"Mom! Claire! Can you sit down for a moment?" I yell, running down the stairs into the kitchen. I take a seat at the table and shake my foot nervously. I don't know how they're going to react, bad, good? Will they agree ? What-

"Beth, what shape do you want your pancakes?" Claire, asked me. She starts the cooker and I rush up to my feet and stop a slight rush, I take her hand and sit her down next to my mom at the kitchen table.

"Can we just talk for a minute?" I ask, tapping my fingers against the edge of the table. Mom and Claire take a quick glance at each other and then furrow their eyebrows at me. " Are you pregnant ?!" My mom asked horrified as she continued " Because i am too young to be a grandmother ".

" NO , NO MOM , Relax" I said , chuckling.

I say, with a serious voice. My Mom nods and I look at Claire. "Well, I want to return to Lima-"

"L-Lima?" Mom stutters

" but why , I thought you loved it here ?" My Mom asks with concern in her voice as she clearly didn't want to return to Lima.

"Well, I want to return to my high school and my friends and this is the second semester of my last year in my high school life " I cough a little to fill the silence. "And beside , the second semester started just two days later " I say quietly.

I remember the last day I spent at Lima , it was in the middle of the first semester in middle school when my parents got in a car accident and I had to continue in one of the new York school the rest of the first semester and then we spent the Spring break in Miami Beach which got my mind of the tragic accident but now I need to return to my cheer-leading squad and my best friend and most importantly to Marc and the life that ,I missed.

" I am okay with it , Quinn ?! " Claire stated as she looked toward my mom.

. "I don't like being the bad guy here , but-." Quinn got cut off.

"I know MOM , but please , I had been threw enough tragic events in my life , Can I JUST HAVE THIS "

" Come on Q ," Claire says. I look up at My mom and she looks fuming. She was never too fond of returning to Lima because of 'her' , and she made this very clear, Santana. Actually, she didn't like what happened to her in Lima. So returning to Lima will mean , my mom have to see and interact with the person who broke her heart and the remainder of the story of the lost of her child. I was very thankful that she found Claire and found happiness at last.

"Okay fine," My mom said. There's an awkward silence in the room as to what I just heard. I look up to my Mom, and then back at Claire .

I couldn't believe it and immediately I start screaming with excitement.

"Thanks Mommy," I lean over to the side of the table and wrap my Mom in a tight hug. "I love you," I say softly in her ear.

" We are going to Lima " Claire said with excitement.

Claire never knew the deep relationship My mom had with Santana ,according to my dad , he said that they were soul mates and they both were too stubborn for each other that why they never made it as a couple but after a one night stand and a result with Santana breaking Quinn's heart , my mom still loved her and my dad said "that if she didn't love her that much we would still be together". They Also had one thing that most people didn't have.
