Episode 7
Rachel and Finn's House – West Village – Saturday Night
"How does this look?" Rachel asked as she came through to the living room to model her chosen outfit for Finn. She was wearing a white cropped sleeveless shirt and high-waisted black skinny trousers and black heels for a night out with the girls. Finn looked up from his papers scattered on the coffee table and looked his wife up and down with a smile.
"Very sexy" Finn answered with a smile as he went back to the papers "where you girls going tonight?"
"HG2, it's just opened near Quinn's gallery" Rachel answered as she moved around the living room to grab her phone and keys from the mantelpiece "What are you doing tonight"
"Grading papers and watching the game, I'm very exciting" Finn sighed as he waved his hands in front of all the English papers he had to mark by tomorrow.
"Well I still love you" Rachel laughed as she bent down to kiss him quickly on the lips. Rachel straightened out then opened her bag to check her phone quickly.
"Rachel it hasn't rung" Finn pointed out not even bothering to look up at her because he already knew what she was doing.
"What I know I'm just checking the time" Rachel lied, Finn just shook his head at her
"Ummm hum" Finn smirked as he marked a paper with a red B before adding it to the slowly growing pile.
"I was!" Rachel defended as she began to walk out of the living room "I'm leaving now"
"Rachel have a good time please stop looking at the phone and enjoy your time with your friends" Finn lightly lectured
"Finn I'm fine" Rachel snipped, she bent down again to kiss her husband twice then continued to leave.
"I know I'm just saying enjoy yourself" Finn gave his wife a pointed look as she walked out of the room.
"I will" Rachel sighed as she left.
"Good" Finn called through to Rachel who was walking through the kitchen.
"I will!" Rachel pressed as she put on her shoes and jacket.
"Okay baby" Finn laughed even though Rachel was no longer in the room.
"I'm leaving now" Rachel called, she knew Finn meant well and she would try her best to have a good time, she said this to herself as she checked her phone again.
"I love you" Finn called back
Rachel laughed slightly at her husband before opening the front door "Bye!"
HG2 – The Upper East Side – Saturday Night
"Rachel that's the tenth time you've checked your phone; do you have somewhere to be" Quinn wondered laughing at her friend who was turning to sneakily glance at her phone that was in her clutch on the table.
"No just checking the time" Rachel lied as she closed her bag and looked to her friends who staring at her in amusement.
"You're wearing a watch" Mercedes mused nodding her head to the gold Michael Kors watch on Rachel's wrist.
"Has by husband been talking to you" Rachel glared at her friends pointing a finger at them. She didn't like the thought of her husband going to her friends just because she kept looking at her phone.
"No, we figured it out on our own now put the phone away" Santana quipped, Rachel moved her clutch from the table to her chair to appease her friends.
"So are we still on for drinks with the guys on Friday?" Mercedes asked as they turned away from Rachel.
"Yeah Noah said he knew a great sports bar and its lady's night on Friday" Quinn answered as stroked her bump as if to remind herself why she couldn't drink, Quinn now hated being in bars and not being able to drink.
"So its Noah now is it" Santana smirked sharing a look with Rachel who she was sat next to.
"He's the father of my un-born child and it's his name... Rachel calls him Noah and you don't think it's weird" Quinn snipped looking away from her friends. She didn't like her friends constant teasing about her relationship with Puck.
"I don't think it's weird I think it's nice" Mercedes admitted smiling at Quinn, who looked away shyly.
"He really seems to be trying, Finn showed me the pictures of the nursery at Noah's place" Rachel said with a smile. Puck had been really proud of the nursery he had designed once Quinn and he had found out they were having a boy. He had quickly shown Finn, who had then showed Rachel because he was impressed with his friend's commitment.
"He did a very good job" Quinn agreed with a curt nod eager to change the subject. She would happily talk about her son just not the man she was having him with.
"Awwww does Quinn have a crush on the man who got her pregnant" Santana cooed mockingly.
"No she doesn't, she just appreciates that he's doing a good job, so please can we change the subject" Quinn lightly pleaded.
"Fine spoil sport, Santana what about you still focusing on work and not on guys" Mercedes wondered. It had been three weeks since Santana had told them she was going off guys for a while and Mercedes was still unsure why they sudden change in her friend.
"Yeah I am, the paperwork is going through for me to be partner now and it should be finalised by the end of the month" Santana answered who was eager to take the subject off her love life, she wasn't ready to tell Quinn and Mercedes just yet.
"We should throw a party to celebrate" Rachel gushed as she hugged Santana. Even though they already knew Santana had made partner, Rachel was still so proud of her friend each time she mentioned it.
"I don't need a party guys, the partners already throw one at the firm" Santana explained not wanting attention that a party would bring.
"Hush yes you do, it's a big deal we can have it at my house" Rachel suggested to which Quinn and Mercedes nodded their heads.
"I think that's a great idea" Quinn enthused as she took out some paper from her bag and started jotting down some ideas.
"Looks like I have no say in the matter" Santana groaned as the group talked about the party until Rachel heard a phone ringing.
"Was that my phone" Rachel wondered quickly diving for her phone as her friends all rolled their eyes.
Taxi – Upper East Side – Saturday Night
"So I didn't want to ask with the girls there but how is it going with Brittany" Rachel asked as the girls jumped into a taxi once they had left the bar.
"Good, very good, yeah good... I think" Santana shuttered which was not like her "she's fun a different kind of fun to what I'm used to. She makes me laugh"
"So what's it like... To be with her" Rachel asked once she told the driver where to go. Rachel had been dying to ask her friend more questions about her new relationship but she knew she had to be careful with Santana who would close up if she got uncomfortable.
"Easier than I thought it would be I'm not sure if that means I've always been this way it if it's her that brings it out if me" Santana acknowledged with an un-sure look. Everything was very new to Santana and she was relying on Brittany to help her, something she was also new to doing.
"I wouldn't question it just enjoy it" Rachel proclaimed, she had never seen her friend so un-sure with herself before but Rachel could see that it was a good thing.
"Believe me, I'm trying" Santana admitted
"It's nice to see, you seem different, happy even. I'm surprised the other two haven't noticed" Rachel mused with amused smile at her friend who just shook her head.
Santana scoffed "I'm not different"
"You totally are" Rachel smiled poking her friend in her cheek to annoy her friend more. Rachel always thought it was funny to annoy Santana and sometimes it was the best way to get something out of her.
"Am not" Santana argued slapping Rachel's hand away.
"Are too" Rachel beamed with a teasing smile.
"So what's the sex like?" Rachel grinned widely at her friend who just rolled her eyes.
"I wouldn't know" Santana quipped looking out of the window instead of at her friends shocked expression.
"Really, after three weeks! Very nice what's stopping you?" Rachel wondered as she watched her friends look out of the window.
"Nothing I'm just taking it slow, being with a woman is different, it's new I'm just trying to figure out my feelings before we take the next step" Santana explained although Rachel quickly saw through her friends lie.
"Afraid you won't be any good at it" Rachel stated with a smirk
Santana nodded her head earnestly "Could not be more terrified"
Rachel and Finn's House – West Village – Saturday Night
"Hey Bubs I'm home" Rachel called as she walked into the living room to see Finn in the exact same position she had left him in. Although now his stack of papers was in a neat pile and he had a beer and the remote in his hand.
"Hey baby, how was your night?" Finn asked as Rachel sat down next to him on the couch taking the remote from him. She turned on a random music channel then put the remote down.
"Very good, what about you?" Rachel wondered as she snuggled into him.
"Well I finished grading all my freshman classes papers and caught up on Game of Thrones that was on the DVR so it was very productive" Finn answered with a wide smile. Rachel didn't like Game of Thrones so Finn only got to watch it when she was out with her friends.
"You're such a dork but I love you" Rachel smiled kissing the side of his jaw.
"Thank you I guess" Finn shrugged as he took a swig of his beer then handed it to Rachel. Rachel took a sip then put it on the coffee table turning towards Finn with a wide smile.
"So I have a secret, want to know?" Rachel teased as she put her legs under herself and leaned further into their couch.
"Totally" Finn smiled turning to face Rachel.
"You have to promise not to tell a soul" Rachel demanded holding up her pinkie finger.
"I promise" Finn agreed hooking his own pinkie with Rachel's.
"Okay because even Mercedes and Quinn don't know yet but I have to talk to someone about it" Rachel explained seriously. Finn nodded his head in understanding.
"Now I am intrigued"
"So Santana has met someone" Rachel started. Finn looked at Rachel unsure why that was such a secret, Santana was seeing someone new almost every week.
"Okay who is it?"
"She is called Brittany" Rachel said smiling slightly at Finn's instant bewilderment. Finn jaw opened slightly as he looked to his wife.
"She?"
"Yeah she, she's a client at the firm that's how they met" Rachel explained with an amused smile. While she knew, she had promised not to say anything her friends knew that when Rachel said that it didn't include her husband.
"Is it serious, I mean is Santana like a lesbian now" Finn wondered before taking a big swig of his beer finishing it off.
"I'm not sure, I think it's more about that specific girl than liking girls in general" Rachel shrugged unsure how to explain something that she wasn't sure of herself.
"Wow" Finn sighed shaking his head "So is she going to tell Quinn and Mercedes"
"I think so yeah; she wants to know her feelings are real before she announces it and we get to met her" Rachel answered as she played with Finn's hair.
"Well I definitely want to be there when she does, Santana with a girl, who'd have thought it" Finn laughed shaking his head. It was certainly one of the craziest things he'd heard in a while next to Quinn Fabray having Puck's baby.
"Santana always likes to surprise people" Rachel reasoned "So do you want to get lucky with a girl tonight"
"Absolutely" Finn smirked as Rachel climbed on top of him.
Rachel quickly pulled away and jumped up from the couch when she heard something ringing "Is that my phone"
Broadway Star Offices – Time Square – Monday Morning
"Rachel" Tina said as she walked into Rachel's office to see her boss staring intently at her phone "RACHEL"
Rachel jumped up at the loud nose and looked up to her assistant who shrugged apologetically.
"Sorry it's time for the staff meeting" Tina instructed.
"Right the staff meeting" Rachel replied even though she couldn't remember what the meeting was for. She got up off her desk chair and collected some papers from her desk.
"With the accounting department about how much we can spend on the new advertisement" Tina explained recognising her boss's confused expression through her lie.
"Oh right yeah no of course, I'll be right there" Rachel nodded her head as she took the papers from her desk then once again checked her phone.
"Rachel are you okay, are you expecting a call" Tina wondered as she watched Rachel carefully.
"No why" Rachel asked looking from her phone to her assistant as they walked out of her office and towards one of the meeting rooms.
"You keep staring at your phone" Tina pointed out
"No it's nothing let's go" Rachel said as she opened the glass door of the meeting room and took a seat at the top of the circle table, where everyone else was already waiting. Tina poured them both a cup of coffee then sat down next to Rachel and took out her legal pad to jot down notes.
"Hi guys" Rachel greeted with a smile "Let's get started shall we"
"Okay so we've ran through the numbers and while it's a good advertisement I still think it's too much to spend on one billboard" Rachel's head accountant Grant started as he handed Tina and Rachel each a copy of the paperwork for the advertisement. Rachel's team had recently required a space for a Time Square billboard. It was a huge deal for the magazine but also a lot of money so Rachel's marketing and accounting department had to decide if it was worth it.
"It is in Time Square though, we've been waiting for this space for months and if we don't move now they will give it someone else" The head of the marketing department, Karen argued.
"I still think we can negotiate on the price" another accountant, a young girl named Holland who had just started, defended. Tina was jotting down notes as every spoke and kept looking at Rachel to see if she was going to say anything. Rachel was looking at her phone not even pretending to look like she was listening.
"What are you suggesting?" Tina wondered once she knew Rachel wasn't going to ask.
"At least thousand off a month" Holland answered, Grant quickly agreed as they looked to the marketing team.
"I think we could probably swing that in our favour" Karen agreed, they all looked to Rachel then at Tina when Rachel continued to look at her phone.
"Do you agree Rachel" Tina asked lightly poking Rachel's arm with her pen. Rachel looked up at her staff member's confused faces.
"Was that my office phone" Rachel exclaimed jumping up from her seat as a nearby phone rang out.
"I'm not sure what that was" Tina shrugged confused "Lets push this back an hour"
Santana's Office – New York World Building – Monday Afternoon
"So this is the new contract they want you to look over" Santana instructed as she handed the lengthy document to Rachel who was sat across from her.
The two friends were in Santana's office going over the new contract the lawyers from Walmart, who were soon going to be selling Broadway Star in their stores. It was going to be great for Rachel's publication and meant Rachel would be able to hire more people so that once Rachel and Finn got their phone call for a baby, Rachel would be able to take some time off.
"Thanks, when will they start selling them in stores?" Rachel wondered as she began to read. She was only glancing at it as she knew Santana had already read it through and wouldn't let her sign anything that was beneficial for her.
"As soon as you sign they want you to get an order over to their main warehouse" Santana replied just as her phone started to ring. She quickly grabbed it from her desk and looked at the caller ID.
"Just one second Rachel its Brittany" Santana stated as she answered the call and put it on speaker so she could show Rachel where she needed to sign "Hey Brittany"
"Hey do you want to meet for a drink tonight?" Brittany sang happily down the phone. Rachel smiled at Brittany's enthusiasm as Santana put her fingers to her lips to Rachel as she answered.
"I'm meeting my friends tonight but we could meet after" Santana said as she flipped through the contract and put her finger where Rachel had to sign. Rachel scribbled her signature as Brittany replied.
"Or I could meet you at the bar with your friends"
Rachel smirked at Santana as she already knew what Santana's answer would be. Santana hadn't even told Quinn and Mercedes so she knew it would be a while before they all met Brittany.
"I think it would be better just to meet after. I'm going to tell them tonight about us and I think it would be better if I do that alone" Santana explained as she rolled her eyes at Rachel who looked at her knowingly.
"Are you sure?"
"I am yeah. Mercedes might faint and Quinn will probably have some choice words and I'm sure the guys will just want to know about the sex" Santana concluded with a laugh. It was Rachel's turn to roll her eyes, although she knew part of what Santana had said could be true.
"You're painting a great picture of your friends" Brittany laughed
"They will just be shocked and I don't want that to be your first impression of them" Santana clarified as she pointed in the last place for Rachel to sign, doing her best to ignore the looks Rachel was giving her.
"I get it Santana we can just meet after"
"Good!"
"I am going to meet them, eventually aren't I?" Brittany wondered with a slight sigh. Rachel nodded her head towards the phone in agreement with Brittany's question. Santana gave her friend an annoyed look before going back to the phone.
"Yeah of course" Santana answered not sounding as convincing as she wanted to "I told you we just have this rule not to meet new boyfriends or girlfriends until it's been a month"
"I guess that makes sense" Brittany concluded. Santana knew she had to get off the call before she said anything else to upset Brittany.
"Britt I have to go Rachel has just walked in to go over a contract, I'll see you later?"
"See you later"
Santana put her phone back into her bag as she thought about her conversation. She knew she had to find a way to show Brittany that while she was still new to being in a relationship she was serious about it as well.
"She doesn't believe you" Rachel snipped giving Santana a pointed look.
"Excuse me?"
"She doesn't believe that we are going to eventually meet her" Rachel added
"Do you?" Santana wondered even though she was already sure of the answer.
"Let's actually start with telling the others first" Rachel answered lamely
"That's not answering my question" Santana grunted as she shook her head at Rachel.
Rachel went back to reading her contract "I know"
Riviera Café & Sports Bar – West Village – Monday Night
Finn and Rachel entered the sport's bar to see only Santana was there already sat in a booth by the pool table. As Finn went to the bar to get them a drink, Rachel skipped over to her friend.
"So where's the lesbian lover tonight" Rachel cheered as she sat down next to Santana surprising her friend who had been engrossed in the game.
"Really Rachel" Santana groaned slightly shaking her head as she took a sip of her beer.
"I'm trying to be cool about it" Rachel shrugged.
"She's out with her own friends tonight, I'm meeting her later which you already knew" Santana answered as she looked around for any sign of the others.
"So when are you going to tell Quinn and Mercedes?" Rachel wondered as Santana tried and failed to watch the rest of the Game.
"Tonight... really I am" Santana proclaimed when she noticed Rachel's doubtful expression "I will, I just know what their reaction will be"
"They might surprise you" Rachel reasoned as Santana rolled her eyes at her friends unusually optimism. Santana knew Rachel meant well but Santana was just weary of her friend's reactions. She had been surprised by Rachel's response to her suddenly announcing she was in to girls but she doubted she would be surprised again especially by Quinn.
"Really, straight lace Quinn is going to be totally cool about me being with a women" Santana argued with a pointed look. Even though Quinn was having a baby out of wed-lock with a man she barely knew didn't change how she felt about her friend's sometimes wild behaviour.
"Quinn's your friend" Rachel defended with a look of her own, Santana just slowly nodded her head.
"I know I'll tell them I'm just trying to figure out the best way to tell them that won't give them a heart attack " Santana explained she went back to the television hoping Rachel would get the picture that she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Rachel however usually ignored any hints she was given if she wanted to know something.
"As long as that's all it is"
"What do you mean?" Santana asked looking back at her confused.
"You said it yourself you only tell people when you think it's real" Rachel acknowledged "Maybe you don't know yet"
"It's real enough to tell them so I'm going to do it tonight" Santana promised.
"Okay then" Rachel nodded as Finn came back to their table with a drink for Rachel and Santana. Rachel took a drink of her beer as Finn sat down next to her wrapping his arm around her. Finn began watching the game as Santana leaned closer to Rachel.
"I am" Santana whispered to Rachel "Now shut up here they come"
Rachel looked up to see Puck, Quinn, Sam and Mercedes enter the bar and walk over to their booth.
"Hey girls, who feels like drinking" Sam cheered as they others reached the table. Sam and Puck went to the bar as Quinn and Mercedes took a seat not noticing the look pass between Rachel and Santana.
XoXoXoXoXoXo
An hour after everyone had arrived Santana decided everyone had had enough to drink for her to tell her friends her secret. She got everyone a drink then walked back to the booth.
"Okay ladies drink up" Santana cheered as she handed the girls a cocktail then gave the guys their beers "Here guy's beers for you"
"What's with you Sans?" Mercedes wondered with a smile as she took her drink.
"Nothing just want us all to have a good night" Santana shrugged trying not to look nervous as everyone had a drink.
"Yeah a great night where I can't drink" Quinn complained as she stirred the crazy straw in her mock-tail drink.
"Look what happened last time you drank" Santana pointed out, Puck rubbed Quinn's bump as Quinn glared at Santana. Rachel and Finn shared a look at the closeness of their friends.
"Hilarious" Quinn snipped
"Okay I have to tell you guys something" Santana admitted putting down her drink with force as all eyes turned to her.
"Sounds juicy" Mercedes laughed as Finn and Rachel shared a look.
"I'm seeing someone" Santana announced carefully as she looked over everyone before landing on Finn.
"Really? Who is this mystery guy" Finn smirked to which Rachel nudged him in the ribs? Santana looked at Finn then to Rachel, glaring at her friend.
"You told him" Santana snapped quickly looking to Rachel then back at Finn who was looking away from Santana's glare.
"He's my husband" Rachel defended lamely
"Rachel!" Santana sighed wondering if she should still tell her friends or if she should just have Rachel do it for her.
"You're about to tell them anyway" Rachel pointed out
"Tell us what, who is this guy?" Quinn wondered looking back and forth at Rachel and Santana. Santana looked away from Rachel then turned to Quinn.
"Well it's not a guy... It's a girl, women" Santana declared, Quinn eyes popped out, Mercedes' mouth fell open and Puck and Sam almost dropped their drinks. Nobody passed out which Santana took as a good sigh.
"Excuse me" Quinn croaked un able to find her voice as Puck and Sam continued to stare at her.
"Her names Brittany, I met her at the firm. She's really sweet and she kissed me in my office and I liked it" Santana explained cautiously looking between Mercedes and Quinn.
"I feel like you're describing a fantasy I once had" Puck grinned, Quinn slapped him on the chest as he took a sip of his beer amused.
"Guys please say something" Santana begged slightly.
"A girl... Huh" Mercedes blurted still staring at Santana "wow"
"I know this might be a shock" Santana admitted as everyone watched Mercedes and Quinn process the news. Puck and Sam barely knew Santana and Finn and Rachel had already processed the news.
"Yeah, yeah ... Yeah" Quinn repeated shaking her head slightly
"What the sex like?" Puck wondered moving closer to Santana.
"How do you scissor?" Sam interjected inching closer as well
"Isn't women's skin so soft" Finn acknowledged earning him a look of bewilderment from Rachel.
"Would you consider filming it" Puck wondered. This seemed to wake Mercedes and Quinn up as they wiped their head to face Puck.
"PUCK!" Quinn snapped slapping him again as Finn shook his head at his friend abilities to turn awkward situations even more awkward.
"I'm kidding" Puck laughed as Santana looked back at her friends.
"Do you have anything to say?" Santana wondered looking straight at Quinn, who looked down at her lap rubbing her stomach.
"As long as your happy Santana so are we, right Quinn" Mercedes smiled nudging Quinn's side.
"Yeah of course" Quinn smiled slightly nodding her head, if Santana could see though the slight lie she didn't say anything.
"Okay good" Santana sighed in relief before jumping off her seat, eager to get a breather from the table "I'm gonna get us so more drinks"
"I'll help" Puck rushed out quickly following Santana to the bar.
"Me too" Sam yelped basically falling out of his seat to run to the bar.
Rachel sighed then looked to her husband "Go we all know you want to ask her as well". Finn kissed Rachel's cheek before practically running to the bar to join the others.
XoXoXoXoXoXo
"Here you go guys, beers, now help me" Santana lightly pleaded as she passed Finn, Puck and Sam each a beer as they sat down at the bar.
"Why don't you just do what you like" Finn suggested taking a swig of his beer. While Finn had known about this for two days it was still a little strange for him.
"Because what I like was or is a penis" Santana quipped smirking at Finn whose cheeks went a little red. Santana nudged Finn's side when she noticed his face.
"Good point" Finn agreed laughing slightly at the conversation he was having with his wife's best friend.
"Well lucky for you, you know a master in pleasing a woman. Hudson, you listen up to you might learn something" Puck boasted. Finn rolled his eyes at his sometimes crude friend.
"It didn't really end well for the last women you pleased" Finn snipped slapping Puck on the back, then high-fived Sam.
"All that's shows is how powerful my men are" Puck argued with a smirk. Santana rolled her eyes and ran her hands through her hair as she listened to the friend's bicker. She was suddenly regretting asking for their help.
"Santana I've know you the least but I'm also the youngest so I know a few new tricks" Sam asserted as Puck and Finn pushed each other playfully.
"Did you just call the rest of us old little boy" Santana warned pointing her sharp nail at her friend's toy boy. Sam just gulped and shook his head.
"Anyway foreplay is very important, slow kisses as I trail my fingers around her body as I work my way down – Mercedes loves that" Sam explained, Puck and Finn nodded their head in agreement as Santana watched them all in amusement.
"Women also like to be surprised, sneaking up behind them from behind" Finn explained not aware of what he just said sounded to someone like Puck, Sam and Santana who were all smirking at Finn.
"Well, well Finn there is hope for you yet" Puck cheered slapping his hand on Finn's back who just looked at him confused.
"Mercedes likes it when I grab the back on her head as I..." Sam started until Santana shrieked a little.
"You know I just remembered that you guys date slash slept with slash are married to my friends" Santana groaned putting her head in her hands as Sam whispered to Finn what he was going to say.
"You know Rachel likes that as well" Finn said nodding his head at Sam
"Please don't tell me anymore unless it's about women I don't know and will never meet" Santana pleaded as she downed her beer.
"You know maybe you should Google it, that's what I did when an old girlfriend wanted me to spice it up" Sam suggested with an innocent smile as Finn and Puck shared a look of amusement.
Santana shook her head at the men in front of her "Oh god, maybe this wasn't a good idea"
XoXoXoXoXoXo
"So what you think? You think it's real?" Mercedes wondered as the three girls watched Sam, Puck and Finn with Santana at the bar, all clearly in a deep conversation. They all took a drink before then turned away not sure they wanted to hear them.
"Who knows, Santana has always been impulsive" Rachel shrugged. In the 13 years, the girls had been friends Santana had been with all kinds of different me from lawyers to men who sang in the subway so it didn't surprise Rachel she had now broadened her horizon to include women.
"There's impulsive and there's switching teams like it's nothing" Mercedes quipped shaking her head slightly still not really processing the news.
The girls quickly turned when they head Santana shriek and Finn and Sam high five, Rachel sent her husband a look, who just shrugged innocently, before turning back to her friends.
"Does this Brittany know Santana has never been with a woman before" Mercedes questioned turning to Rachel, who just shrugged slightly.
"I don't know, why that matter does" Rachel asked.
"Because Brittany should know that Santana might like her now but could change her mind tomorrow when she meets a hot guy at the gym" Mercedes pointed out with a pointed look, she took another drink and looked over to make sure Santana and the boys couldn't hear them. Santana wouldn't like to hear her friends doubting her new relationship.
"That's for Brittany's friends to warn her about, we are Santana's friends we have to support her" Rachel argued, to which Mercedes relented and nodding her head in agreement. They were Santana's friends and even if this was shocking to them they still had to support it.
"What do you think they are telling her?" Quinn wondered pointing towards the others who were all listening carefully to Puck. Quinn was praying it wasn't about her.
"Finn's very good so she's bound to learn something" Rachel smirked as she took another sip of her Gin and Tonic.
"God I don't want to know that" Quinn groaned to which Rachel laughed. Rachel sometimes forgot that Quinn had known Finn before Rachel had and that when Rachel got a little too personal it made Quinn uncomfortable.
"What about Puck Quinn?" Mercedes quipped with a smile, both girls turned to Quinn who started to go red.
"I barely remember the sex I was so drunk" Quinn admitted with a sad shake of her head, Rachel laughed lightly and wrapped her arms around Quinn's shoulder.
"Such a sweet story to tell the kid when he or she asks how their parents met" Mercedes laughed rubbing Quinn's belly bump. Rachel and Mercedes got a laugh at Quinn's expense as the both pulled away from her.
"You've been awfully opinion-less about this Santana thing Quinn" Rachel acknowledged, Rachel believed that once the others found out about Santana, Quinn would have the most to say about it.
"What's the point giving my opinion when this won't even be an issue in a few weeks" Quinn insisted as she munched on her fries not looking at the other two.
"You don't think this is real?" Rachel asked even though she already knew Quinn's answer.
"No!" Quinn proclaimed "this is just another way for Santana to surprise us but the novelty will wear off soon enough"
A part of Rachel agreed with Quinn that this was a novelty to Santana but she had been the one Santana had spoken to when Brittany had kissed her and Rachel had seen something different something she wasn't sure of yet.
"What do you think Rachel?" Mercedes wondered
"You know I really don't know" Rachel admitted "Santana might just surprise us all and be starting a healthy relationship"
The others had got some more drinks and were now walking back to their table, clearly Santana had heard enough.
Quinn shook her head laughing slightly "That will be the day"
Upper East Side – Monday Night
After leaving the bar Quinn and Puck were walking back to Quinn's apartment, which was only a few blocks away, and talking about her friend's announcement. Quinn still wasn't sure what to make of it but Puck had a strong opinion.
"I think it's hot" Puck stated as they walked through the park that lead to Quinn's apartment. To anyone else they looked like a happy couple expecting a baby. Sometimes it was easier for Quinn to think that as well until Puck said that.
"Stop saying that Noah" Quinn groaned shaking her head at him.
"What it is, Santana's hot and I bet this Brittany is as well"
"Why do you talk like this?" Quinn wondered with a sigh. Puck could be sweet one minute then a pig the next. It was very confusing for her.
"Because I'm a guy" Puck shrugged not understanding why she was so bothered by his statement.
"Ugh" Quinn grumbled throwing her hands up in the air in frustration. She hated how Puck could be so animalistic sometimes.
"Want me to buy you a slice of pizza" Puck asked after they had walked in silence for a few minutes. He knew he had upset Quinn and he didn't want her to leave mad at him.
Quinn smiled up at Puck, instantly forgetting she was mad at him "Thank you"
Rachel and Finn's House – West Village – Monday Night
After a few hours of drinking and pool Finn and Rachel got a cab home leaving just Santana, Mercedes and Sam drinking at the bar. Puck had taken Quinn home after just two hours as she hated being the only sober one of the group.
Finn brushed his teeth and threw on his pyjamas pants and a t-shirt then left their en-suite bathroom. Finn walked into his and Rachel's bedroom and saw his wife once again looking at her phone. Finn grabbed the box that was in his briefcase and walked over to Rachel on the bed.
"Okay enough of that step away from the phone before you drive me as crazy as you are" Finn stated only half joking "I have a present for you"
Finn handed Rachel the small box, which she quickly ripped open.
"Awwww I like presents" Rachel cooed until she saw what was inside the box "A phone, but I already have a phone and no offense but it's nicer than this one"
Rachel looked confused at the small Nokia phone in her hand then looked back at her husband who smiled sweetly at her.
"This is a special number, only one person has the number. Fiona Fields" Finn explained with a smile. He settled on the bed next to Rachel and took her hand in his.
"I don't understand" Rachel stated confused looking towards Finn who pulled her into his arms.
"You've been driving yourself crazy every time a phone rings so I called Fiona and gave her this number to ring. That way any other call you get will be something else and only when this phone rings will you know it's the call we've been waiting for" Finn acknowledged. Rachel quickly turned around and jumped into her husband's arms squeezing him tightly.
"That's really sweet Finn thank you" Rachel smiled sweetly before smirking slightly at her husband as she pulled away slightly "I'm probably still going to be a little crazy"
"Well you are always a little crazy so I expect nothing less" Finn joked. Rachel put the new phone next to her own as Finn switched off the light and the both got into bed.
"Really thank you for this Finn" Rachel recognized with a loving smile "You're okay with me having the phone"
"I am yeah" Finn nodded "we both know you need it more than me"
Rachel snuggled closer to Finn, who wrapped his arms around her as they both laid down in bed. Rachel turned to face Finn still in his arms and softly stroked his cheek.
"What do you need Finn, all you've done is help me what can I do to help you?" Rachel wondered as she stared into her husband's loving eyes.
"Just you Rachel as long as I know you're okay" Finn replied with earnest "That's all I need, you"
Rachel smiled seductively at her husband as she traced her hand at the bottom of his t-shirt and began to pull it over his head "Well, husband wish granted"
Taxi - Brooklyn – Monday Night
After leaving the bar Mercedes and Sam decided they couldn't wait for the subway to take them back to Sam's apartment so they got a cab as well. Ten minutes later they were making out and groping each other very wildly in the back of the taxi, so much so the driver had pulled over twice to tell them to stop before just giving up.
"So what do you think about Santana" Mercedes asked breathless as she pulled away from Sam. She wasn't sure why she wanted to know in the middle of them making out but she had to ask.
"So hot!"
"Why am I not surprised" Mercedes laughed as she threw herself back onto Sam's lap, kissing him passionately as the driver shook his head at them.
Riviera Café & Sports Bar – West Village – Monday Night
"Hey Santana" Brittany mused as she took a seat across from Santana in the sports bar.
Once Mercedes and Sam had started vigorously making out next to her, Santana had ordered them to go home and do that and she had text Brittany to tell her where she was.
"Hey Britt, did you have a good night?" Santana greeted with a smile as she handed Brittany one of the beers she had ordered for her.
"I did thank you" Brittany smiled sweetly after she had taken a drink "How was yours"
"It was good; in fact, it was great. I told my friends and they took it surprising well" Santana beamed, she couldn't believe how she was doing of that in Brittany's presence. The woman had a way of bringing it out of her.
"Really, that's great, looks like you were worried for nothing" Brittany reasoned smirking at Santana
"Maybe so" Santana nodded not sure if her friends had been okay with it or if they hadn't processed the news yet. Santana was going to wait a few days before she asked them again what they really thought.
"So when do I get to meet them" Brittany wondered with a coy smile
"Ummm... well you see... I've never..." Santana coughed not sure how to tell Brittany that she wasn't ready for that yet. Santana telling her friends was very different to actually meeting the girl who had made Santana completely change her ways of dating.
"Santana I'm kidding" Brittany laughed at Santana's bewildered face "I know you want to take it slow I respect that"
"Thank you Brittany, you've been really great throughout this, I know it must be strange for you as well to date someone who's never dated a woman before" Santana acknowledged. Santana knew she was lucky to have someone like Brittany who understood how new and different all this was to Santana and wasn't judging how careful she was being.
Brittany shrugged as she lifted her drink to her lips "Well I kind of think your worth it"
Santana's Apartment – Monday Night
An hour after Brittany and Santana went back to Santana's apartment and once Santana saw that Brittany had gone to sleep she jumped out of bed and grabbed her phone on the way to the living room. She settled down on her sofa before calling the first number.
"You know I'm pregnant right, I need my sleep" Quinn groaned once she had answered the phone.
"Come on you knew I'd call. Let me patch in the others" Santana laughed as she added Rachel and Mercedes to their call and waited for them to answer.
"I've been waiting an hour for this call, you're slacking Santana" Mercedes joked once she had patched through. Santana rolled her eyes even though Mercedes couldn't see. She wrapped a blanket around herself as they waited for Rachel.
"Why isn't she answering?"
"Maybe they're having sex" Santana smirked "So how much did you guys talk about when you left"
"Not as much as I thought, Puck thinks it's hot" Quinn groaned, she was already falling back to sleep as she listened to her friends.
"Sam too"
"And you guys?" Santana pressed, now that she had given them over three hours to process the news she wanted real answers from them.
"It's shocking and there may be a small part of us that thinks it's a faze but if you're happy then so are we" Mercedes answered honestly.
"I guess I can understand that" Santana admitted "Try Rachel again"
Santana was happy with her friend's answer; she knew it would have been a lie if they had said they were totally fine and their friendship didn't work like.
"We are a little busy" Finn out of breath voice came through the phone "Rachel's happy for you and wants to meet Brittany soon"
Finn put down the phone as quickly as he had patched though and Santana immediately started laughing "I told you they were having sex"
"Oh god I'm going back to bed" Quinn groaned once Santana and Mercedes had stopped laughing.
"Night, love you guys"
