AN: I want to clear up something, in the first chapter I stated that Quinn left before their romantic relationship could bloom. And that can mean a lot of things, like they only had a friends with benefits thing going on and it didn't bloom any further and they haven't told the other I love you or never expressed how much the other person means to them, whichever the case may be etc.. I just want to try something different with this story, might still be cliché lol. And what Quinn did was very wrong but you guys will understand why asap. Thank you guys for the follows, favs and reviews I love them. Now let's move on to the chapter.

Other: it's a FABERRY AU

Chapter five: morning after

Santana woke up with the most amazing feeling, still thinking it might be a dream she opened her eyes to find her girlfriend with her head between her legs and she threw her head back and moaned so good. She wasn't a morning person but waking up to this with Brittany she would make an exception.

Actually she would do anything for the blond girl that has her heart. "Fuck me Britt...," the Latina moaned again. Brittany looked up for a moment and told her girlfriend like it was that obvious it was but the blonde lives in her own world, "I am Sanny, and you feel so good," and pushed into Santana.

After returning the favor a couple times the girls realize where they were. They don't really recall how they got there only the sex they had so they take in their surrounding with a laugh.

They were in Mercedes's garage which had a butler's pantry connected to it but right now they were on the pool table wrapped up in each other with a blanket under their heads, Santana came to the conclusion that they probably needed to Christian the pool table and they fell asleep on it. But they can't find it in them to regret it although later they will find that their aching limbs won't agree. The sun was barely out but the two were up and ready for the day, they showered and made their way hand in hand to the main house.

They passed the pool and Brittany spotted the red bikini top in the water and at the same time Santana saw laying by the side of the pool was the blue bikini bottoms, "Sanny those were on Rachie and Q before right?, Oh wait Sanny they shared lady kisses like we did maybe not as good as us but their stuff is everywhere and not on them, we should totally see if they are together San," Brittany said in one breath.

The Latina first thought there must be another explanation but soon she had a evil smirk thinking she will tease the dwarf and ice bitch endlessly, but first they need to confirm their suspicions. "I think you are right Britt, but we can't let anyone else know ok? It is our secret, Q is not ready to climb on a rainbow unicorn alright?" Santana was sweet but only with the blond.

Brittany nodded and asked the Latina if they can still go find them. To which Santana quickly agreed. She will protect Quinn in her way, she knows the head cheerleader is not ready to be out. And she probably is going to over think when waking up next to the midget.

"If we can have coffee first, my head is still killing me..," Sure Sanny you are so cute when you get all grumpy if you have a hangover. The Latina just mumbled something back and received a kiss then followed Brittany inside the house. But not before they picked up the discarded swimwear. Truthfully Santana didn't feel that hung-over but couldn't face a full on Quinn in panic mode while being hung-over herself. And judging by the carelessness of the swimwear being discarded and the fact that Quinn and Rachel had sex where anyone could have seen them and that they both probably took each other's V-cards they definitely were very drunk or maybe not but Santana will be there none the less, Quinn's her best friend after all. After coffee she will be prepared for world war three if there will be one.

Quinn started to wake up and for a minute didn't know where she was, she opened her eyes and lifted her head but immediately lay back and closed them again, the pain in her head was like someone standing on her brain, and her body felt heavy too she tried again to get up but felt a smaller body snuggle closer to her, then like a spark to gasoline she remembered where she was and what she did and with who.

And she tried to get out of bed without waking the sleeping diva, her foot caught the duvet and she fell forward and groaned in pain. In turn waking Rachel up, she got up too fast and felt dizzy so she lay back down and asked Quinn, "Quinn what is wrong and please be quiet my head is kill…, OH MY QUINN WHAT DID WE DO?!" Rachel panicked and shot out of bed again.

But the cheerleader got up and told her to sit. She went to the walk in bathroom and looked for some aspirin in the cabinet. She found them and took two with water and brought Rachel two as well. "Thank you Quinn and sorry you fell…,"

"Rachel do you remember anything from last night?" Quinn asks while praying she didn't forget she doesn't know why she wants the diva to remember but she does want her to remember.

"I don't think anyone would forget that Quinn," Rachel blushed and Quinn breathed a sigh of relieve. And enter the awkward silence, they keep quiet for a little while and ponder on their thoughts and thinking if the other thinks it's a mistake and regrets it. "Why did you say that like you didn't remember or something," Quinn rubs the back of her neck to hide the blush because she sounded like someone desperate and hopeful.

"Quinn I honestly don't have an answer to that, but I do remember everything… What does this mean Quinn?" Rachel said looking into Quinn's eyes and the cheerleader doesn't respond right away.

"Quinn..?," Rachel tries again.

"Rachel look I'm sorry, my voice is not catching up with my thoughts and I would like you to know that yes we were very drunk and yes we moved fast and like I told you last night I do not want to take it back. I had more fun with you in one day than I have in all my life. Do you understand me?" the diva nods to scared to say something, she thinks this is it, Quinn had sex with her and now she wants to go and say their friendship or whatever is over. But the cheerleader continues, "and just for the record I am not going to bail or run, but please understand my point, I can't, you have met my mother," Quinn was on the verge of crying and Rachel hugs Quinn into her.

The cheerleader buries her head in the divas neck and holds her in a tight embrace and Rachel rubs soothing circles on her back and Quinn moves so she is on Rachel's lap, and in that moment Rachel sees Quinn's request without asking it fully. She doesn't know the full extent of the cheerleader's home life but judging by the scar below her eye, and the few minutes she spent in the company of one Judy Fabray made the diva think that something bad happens when the doors are closed at the Fabray mansion.

Rachel hugs the blond in her arms tighter and Quinn lets the tears fall, it's hard for Rachel to see Quinn like this, she releases her hands around Quinn and cups her face with her hands and brings Quinn to the same eye level and places a soft kiss on the scar by her eye, and says,

"Quinn listen, I am sorry your parents are like that. You can open up to me about the things that are bothering you so much in your life? I need to understand you. And I need to know where we are going from here? Because I am really scared right now too, I can't go back to not having you in my life."

Quinn swallows her tears to speak clearly, "Rach…I don..I don't want you out of my life either, but I know with me being there in their house I can't even think about a relationship with a girl. And I really want to open up to you I just can't not right now, I can't even tell Santana, I'm that fucked up. I do know for a fact that I can't not have you around, a part of me wants to be so selfish and ask you to stay my friend, then my other side tells me I will be such a dick if I ask you to be my secret and not have things being official and still in secret, or just friends nothing more can happen, I would rather have you as a friend than not at all. And I am ranting aren't I? And probably not making sense"

The diva sat on the bed in silence during Quinn's rant, and she also went over everything that can happen, and if Quinn really is that scared of her parents then she believes her, she has met her mother and Judy was a cold woman. Rachel knew that Quinn couldn't have it easy otherwise she would have not cried so quickly. She will just be friends with her, it was better than not having the blond in her life at all.

They shared what a lot of people don't share. So Rachel said the only thing she could think of even though her heart tells her otherwise, "We will be friends Quinn, what happened will stay between us, and we work on our friendship alright, we need to work on it, I am just going to ask one thing from you and that is to not treat me like I'm nothing in school."

"I will never treat you badly again," This time Quinn holds an emotional diva, "I am so sorry that I did all those things to you Rach, I want to be a better person and you make me be a better person. And I am so very sorry that we have to keep what happened, a secret and that I can't let us be something more. Please forgive me."

"I can live with keeping it a secret to everyone else, I couldn't live with it if I had to pretend last night didn't happen. Although I never thought my first time would be on the side of a pool while being drunk and yet I won't change it for the world, Rachel smiled at Quinn.

"No regrets Rach, thank you, you know for everything, last night you made it special for me too," a blush creeps up Quinn's face. The Diva blushes at the memory too but gets that familiar ache whenever she thinks of the cheerleader but shakes her head smiling, "I need to thank you too Quinn, I don't know what came over us but I really enjoyed it, and the side of the pool wasn't so bad," Rachel stops talking when Quinn's eyes grew wide and she panics, "Quinn? What?"

"Uhm Rachel, we left our swimwear scattered everywhere and someone might see…..,"

She didn't get to finish her sentence because the door burst open "You Bitches better be dressed I don't need nasty visuals really," The Latina says while giving the girls a knowing smirk and walking in and sat down on the bed with their swimwear in her hands, "You know I almost fell in the pool to get these they were everywhere.."

Finally snapping out of their shock and blushing profusely they try to explain but Brittany's sweet voice stops them, "I am so happy for you guys you had some serious sexual tension all the time and now you don't have, I told San that we need to double date after I pulled my tongue….," With the Latina's hand clamping her mouth she didn't finish. "She is trying to say, that you could be glad we came across the bikinis. You know Mercedes won't keep quiet. And I know that you are not ready to announce your undying disgusting love to the world."

Both girls were grateful that it was Santana than came across the swimwear and even though she is a super bitch she had their backs, well Quinn's back. And at the Latina's statement of love they panicked. They really knew for sure that they had a lot to figure out.

Brittany had said to Santana that they should make the breakfast for everyone, and of course the Latina followed her girlfriend cause she was whipped and no one can really tell Brittany no. When the pair left, things were still a little awkward between the girls, Quinn told Rachel to use the bathroom first and she will use it afterwards.

By the time they were done everyone else was already at the breakfast table eating Santana's special as she calls it, which was only bacon and eggs. And in her words vegan shit for Berry.

"Morning you two, I was wondering when you would grace us with your company," Kurt only mocked and everyone missed the blushes covering the faces of the late arrivers at breakfast.

"Morning everyone, I trust you slept well? No hang over's that linger?" Rachel sat down and started having her vegan bacon and thanks the Latina. Everyone groaned and cleary that let Rachel know everyone had killer headaches.

"Hey guys, morning, Mercedes thank you for hosting the party and having us over." Quinn added politely, and the Latina couldn't resist, "Yeah Mercedes, I can tell you this party was life changing." A, none the wiser Mercedes just said it was a pleasure and again Rachel blushed and Quinn gave Santana a death glare.

In Brittany's mind she couldn't understand why Rachel and Quinn fought with their feelings, she knew for years that they like each other, she just wishes that they will realize it soon enough. She gives Santana a huge smile when she gets pancakes in the shape of a duck, which resulted in everyone asking for pancakes too. And naturally the Latina told them to fuck off and make it themselves she already made bacon and eggs. The group of friends had their meals and went to sit by the television to watch some reruns of shows, no one could agree on anything, Mercedes and Kurt wanted to watch reality tv, Brittany and Santana wanted to watch the L word and Quinn and Rachel just sat in silence.

Just when Quinn wanted to finally say something she got a call from her mother, she walked outside to answer it "Hello," she answered like she didn't know it was her mom, she tried to keep calm but knowing her mother she was about to get a piece of her mind and Judy didn't yell like her father did, no she killed you calmly and Quinn didn't know which was worse.

"Quinnie," there was a pause and she started again and Quinn could feel by her mother's tone that she yet again did something wrong according to her, "Now that I have your attention Quinn, I would like to ask you to come home this instant its pass ten am already and the school work could not have taken so long. We will have a further discussion when you get here."

"Yes mother," was all Quinn could say, she went back in and the Latina immediately saw that her friend was upset but she didn't get to say anything because Rachel already followed Quinn to the room they shared.

"Quinn?" and the cheerleader said nothing and Rachel tried again, "Quinn? Stop, what are you doing?" Quinn didn't immediately register that Rachel was there, she got to the room and started placing her things into the overnight bag she had. And then she felt a small hand on her wrist stopping her, "Quinn, please what's wrong?" Quinn finally saw the diva and looked into worried chocolate eyes and found comfort in them.

"Rachel I have to go, can you please take me home?" The diva nodded and told the cheerleader, "I will Quinn but please just tell me what upset you so much, was it me…" she was interrupted with a kiss that told the diva it wasn't her and instinctively Rachel wrapped her arms around Quinn's neck and pulled her closer.

Quinn whispered against the divas mouth, "You are the only good thing in my life Rachel," and kisses her again a little more passionately, Quinn could stop herself the diva was addictive and whether it was wrong or right kissing Rachel was the best feeling in the world.

When they broke the kiss Rachel rested her head on Quinn's shoulder and felt the cheerleaders arms tightening around her, "It's my mother Rach, she wants me home, and I don't know why."

"I will take you, but will you be alright?" Quinn just gives Rachel a tiny yes and they finished up getting their things packed, there is no point for Rachel to come back if Quinn wasn't there. The two girls went downstairs and said their goodbyes and apologize for leaving so early, the Latina just gave Quinn a look that said we'll talk and Quinn nodded. When they got into the car the cheerleader sighs and is filled with angst she knew her mother, and a calm voice is way worse than a screaming one with her.

The drive to her house was too fast for Quinn's liking, it was spent in silence mostly but the diva occasionally glanced at Quinn but found her facing the window, eyes closed as if to cut off the world. Rachel parks the car and was about to get out to help Quinn but saw one Judy Fabray in the driveway waiting for her daughter to get out. "Rachel, I am sorry but I will talk to you later, bye Rach," Just when Quinn wanted to get out she again is stopped by Rachel's hand and on instinct because of her mother watching Quinn pulls her hand away and for a brief second saw the hurt in Rachel's eyes.

"Rach, please I am sorry i…, my mother. I will call you later alright." Quinn tries to make the diva understand.

"It is alright Quinn, I understand, I forgot about your mother, I am sorry too." And Rachel really does understand this time. She says goodbye to Quinn and the cheerleader makes her way out of the car and waves Rachel of. She waits for the divas car to disappear before turning to face her mother.

Judy watched and waited patiently for Quinn to get out of the car, when this Rachel girl is gone, Judy looks to her daughter and calmly says with venom lacing her words, "Quinn, I have told you repeatedly that you do not miss breakfast with me, I will not tolerate it any longer you are grounded for a week young lady."

Quinn just looks to her mother, not believing this, "But mom you didn't tell me what time to be home." Quinn tried reasoning with her mother but to no avail.

"I would have assumed you know, since I have told you to be present for breakfast, my word still stands Quinnie now get in the house I don't want you to make a scene in front of our neighbors." Judy pointed to the house and Quinn made her way into the house feeling all the happy from yesterday leave her.

Just as Quinn made her way up to her room her mother's voice followed her, "No going out of this house unless it is for school and you will come home immediately after, you need to get back into the way we raised you, you are beginning to walk of the road we put you on. Do you understand me?"

"Yes mother." And she was in her room. She collapsed on her bed and just laying there. She cannot believe her mother, she was a prisoner and her parents were just waiting to punish her. She cried into her pillow and fell asleep a little while later.

Rachel went to her home and she was worried about Quinn, so much that she didn't see her father's as she passes them on her way to her room and she is startled when her dad speaks up, "Good morning Rachel, you are in a hurry, something on your mind?"

"Dad, daddy good morning and don't scare me like that I almost had a heart attack. And yes there is something on my mind and it is my friend I am worried about her." Her fathers just looked at her and Rachel gave them a smile knowing they always are behind her and supports her no matter what and wishes that Quinn's parents were like hers.

"Anything we can help with baby girl?" Hiram asked and Leroy took his husbands hand and gave it a squeeze.

"I do appreciate the offer dad, daddy but I would like to know more about her first, her parents are very very strict and by that I mean borderline crazy, in the words of Santana, and she is basically only allowed to breathe and do their bidding and although her father is not there anymore he still rules that house in some twisted way. She is suffocating in there." Rachel herself looked sad and wanted to help Quinn but she can't yet she doesn't even know the full story about what is going on.

"Who is this friend?" Leroy asks and thinks he knows and it's confirmed when Rachel tells him its Quinn. "Her parents are of those people that believes they should be like that in order to please their god and it is wrong no matter what God you serve he doesn't want anyone to be treated like that, people misinterpret God's words and according to the Fabray's view of Christianity, everything is a sin but being an obedient house wife and child, they have a blinded view of what things are really like and how things should be." Leroy finishes and hugs his daughter. This leaded to a family group hug.

"I just want to go lay down a little bit if that's alright? And think on how to help her." Rachel releases herself from the dads hug attacks.

"One more question baby girl, why do you care so much for Quinn, if she spent so much time being cruel to you?" her daddy doesn't miss the blush making its way onto his daughters face, "Rachel baby, is there something you would like to tell us?" Rachel blushes even a deeper red than before.

"Daddy, no" she said too quickly and Hiram and Leroy shared knowing looks and decided to stop teasing their daughter. "I like her, daddy but things are, and I can feel it, be difficult and we need to work it out. I don't want to scare her off before anything happens between us." Rachel didn't add before anything more happens. She kisses her fathers on their cheeks and goes to her room and laid on her bed thinking about Quinn.

"Our baby is in love Leroy, with a girl we never suspected that, did we? She was always going on and on about that Jessie kid. But if Quinn can make her happy I give them my blessing." Hiram told his husband getting excited.

"My love, I wish for Rachel's happiness more than anything but Quinn's parents and their lifestyle will make it very hard and all we can do is support Rachel if this falls through the roof. I don't want to be negative but remember I went through this with my parents. I don't want our baby to be heartbroken." Leroy rests his head on his husbands shoulder and sighs.

"I know Leroy, we will help our baby with everything."

An annoying ringing sound has woken Quinn up from her dreams, she was dreaming about Rachel and how the diva always has been there for her, no matter what. Quinn blindly feels for her phone and answers "WHAT!"

"Is Berry busy eating you Q is that why you're a total bitch? Santana laughed onto the phone when she just gets a mumbled reply she couldn't even understand. "What is eating you Q? And no double meaning intended."

Quinn might as well tell Santana because she doesn't have anything better right now to do and the Latina will find out eventually. "I got grounded San, my mother went crazy because I wasn't home for breakfast. I am grounded this entire week." She sounded sad to the Latina.

"Q I swear to god one of these days I'm gonna ends your parents. I have had enough of them and their shit toward you." Santana was fairly pissed and Quinn loved that her friend was this protective but she still asked the Latina to leave it alone and do nothing. She can't let her friend get involved in her parents reign of terror. This was her protecting her friends.

"Alright Q, for now, imma just stay the fuck back, but you get one more bruise on you that's not suppose to be there and I won't stay back you hear me?" before Quinn could reply to Santana she hung up. She didn't know that her Latina friend knew and hopes that Santana stays out of it, she doesn't want her parents to hurt her friend. She falls back onto her pillow.

Quinn realizes that she forgot to tell a certain diva that she was ok, she picks up her phone and dials her number and hopes that Rachel isn't mad at her. Before the second ring the diva picks up, "Quinn are you alright?"

"Yes Rach, I am fine, I just got grounded but nothing new."

"I am glad you are alright Quinn, I have been worried, and I know your mom is a little…"

"Fucking crazy? Psychotic, a monster? Quinn tries to laugh it off like a joke but Rachel knows that her mother is along those things.

"I wasn't going to use that wording Quinn, I didn't want to offend you but yeah. And I am sorry, can you please tell me if I can help you?"

"No Rach, it's alright I am use to this, there is nothing we can do, I just have to get out of Lima as soon as possible then I will be happy, I want to be away from them so I can be happy with my life how I choose." Rachel wishes she was with Quinn now but she is fairly sure her mother won't let her daughter have friends over. "But thank you Rach, it really means a lot to me, that you care."

"Always Quinn." Rachel wanted to continue but she hears Judy call Quinn from the other side of the door, "Quinnie? It is lunch time be ready in five minutes." Quinn just lets out a defeated sigh and tells Rachel she needs to go, "I am sorry Rach, I have to go have lunch with my mother."

"It is alright Quinn, I understand. Talk to you later?" Quinn doesn't miss the hopeful tone at the divas question.

"I promise Rachel, bye."

"Bye Quinn."

Rachel hung up and stared at her phone as if a certain blond was still on the line. She knows that Quinn has it hard but doesn't understand how hard it is because her family is so very much different than them. She promises not to give up on Quinn and she will be her friend, and despite giving the cheerleader her virginity and vice versa being her friend is better than not having her at all. Rachel knows that it will be hard to be just friends but who knows maybe they can work on their friendship and then later maybe more.

AN2: not getting into the major drama just yet. That I am saving for later. Next is more of Judy and wanting Quinn to bring Puck over for dinner, some school and music. Hope it's not an eyesore, reading this. Tell me what you think and if you have suggestions. I will update asap. Till next time…
