Quinn decided to spend the night so Rachel could get her homework done for the following day. She was sitting on Rachel's bed holding Meredith.
"She looks just like Puck." Quinn told Rachel as if it was something she didn't know. Rachel put her pen down and turned to look at Quinn holding her world.
"I know right. There is no way anyone could ever say she wasn't Noah's." The two girls started to laugh releasing some of the stress from the day. Rachel picked up her pen but didn't start writing again. Quinn looked at her face and knew what she was thinking.
"You're going to be ok Rach. He is going to see he was wrong and come back home." Rachel just nodded her head with fresh tears in her eyes. "Just finish up so we can go to bed." Rachel smiled at Quinn who was now putting Meredith to sleep. Once she was done Quinn had already put Meredith down and the two had gotten into Rachel's bed.
"Thanks for sleeping with me Quinn. It seems I can't really sleep when that side of the bed is empty." Rachel told her, a little embarrassed that she needed someone to sleep with her.
"No thanks needed it's what friends are for." The last thought that Rachel had was that she finally had a real friend. When the two woke up the next morning they were running late so they had to rush to get to school. Rachel was at her locker getting her books for her first class.
"Hey Rachel how are you doing?" Rachel shut the door of her locker a little to see Kurt standing there.
"I am fine thank you." Rachel replied going back to getting her things.
"I just wanted to make sure you were ok because you seemed really upset yesterday." Rachel was sure that was the most sincere that she had ever heard Kurt. Rachel shut her locker and smiled at Kurt.
"I was but I am ok now, thank you for your concern." The two shared a smile before going their own ways. It was just before lunch when the girl met up at Rachel's locker.
"So how's your day going?" Quinn asked watching Rachel's face for a change.
"It's going fine. Kurt came up to me and asked how I was." Quinn gave Rachel a look.
"He seemed like he really cared." Rachel shrugged her shoulders.
"Well I hope he does because that is one more person being nice." Quinn told her wrapping her arm around her shoulder. The two started walking down the hall together when they saw Noah and Santana in front of them hand in hand. Right away Rachel tensed up and her breathing shallowed. Quinn noticed pulling Rachel tight to her body.
"He is nothing don't let him get to you." Rachel nodded her head and the two continued on their way. The two were sitting eating lunch in silence forced to watch Santana all over Noah and Noah looking broken. "Let's get out of here." Quinn grabbed both of their trays and dragged Rachel out of the lunch room. The two were the first to arrive for glee club talking when Kurt came in taking the empty seat on the other side of Rachel. The two girls didn't say anything but just smiled at the boy beside them. Slowly everyone started filling up the room casting glances their way. The last two to come in were Santana and Noah and once again they hands were linked.
"Hey Puck, you know you can't turn a hoe into a housewife." Quinn told him as they walked past causing everyone to oh and aww. Santana quickly got to her feet and into Quinn's face.
"What the hell is your problem Q?" Santana asked her hands balled into fist on her hips.
"You and your whory ways are my problem." Quinn mirrored Santana's stance staring the girl down. Quinn was so caught up in the show down she didn't notice Rachel slipping out of the room with her cell to her ear. Santana was about to slap Quinn when Schue came in breaking to two up.
Rachel was leaning against a locker her phone to her ear.
"Hi daddy what's wrong?" The only time one of her dads called her was during day was if there was something wrong.
"Princess I know you are in glee but we are on our way to the hospital with Meredith." Rachel's heart stopped and her breath got caught in her throat.
"What happened is she ok?" Rachel's heart kicked in again going into over drive.
"I don't know sweetie. She was fine and napping but what she woke up she had a high fever and a rash all over her body." Rachel could hear the worry in her dad's voices.
"Ok I'm on the way." Rachel hung up her phone and quickly walked back into the choir room.
"Noah can I speak with you please?" Rachel was standing front of him and Santana waiting for an answer.
"What do you want man hands?" Santana quickly spoke before Noah had a chance.
"Noah could I please speak with you." Rachel put the emphases on you.
"Go away treasure trail." Santana flipped her hand at Rachel pushing Rachel over the edge.
"FINE! YOU DON'T WANT TO GO OUTSIDE TO TALK TO ME? OUR DAUGHTER IS BEING BROUGHT TO THE HOSPTIAL RIGHT NOW AND I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW!" Rachel yelled as loud as she could not missing the looks on everyone's faces when she said "our".
"What do you mean Mere is being brought to the hospital?" Noah was out of his seat pushing Santana's legs off him.
"I don't know anything yet, all I know is that you care more about what people think of you then you do me and your daughter." Rachel turned her back on him leaving the room with Quinn and Kurt in tow.
