You're Special ch. 6
After what happened yesterday, I want to prove to Rachel that I'm serious about her and that I want our relationship to work by taking it slow before we do something that we're not ready for. I do want the diva and everything that it implies so I'm letting her set the pace, acting accordingly but first after I had left her place that night, I had sent a mass text saying that she was on the untouchable list and no one was able to slushy her period. By morning tomorrow, whoever stupid enough to come within five feet of the singer with the intend of throwing will be met with swift and dire consequences and knowing that Santana will enforce it.
I'm still trying to wrap my around the fact that the two of them are friends and have been for awhile now and why the badass would find this from me but we haven't been on the best term as of late as more than likely would have used that information to knock her down a peg or two. I came home to find Mom sitting on the couch, reading a book with hand and a glass of virgin cosmopolitan on the side table and I'm glad that she's decided to give drinking after she kicked that bastard of a husband to the curb. She's being well, going to every AA meeting and hasn't touch a drop of liquor since as I couldn't be more proud of her for pursuing her passion of physical therapy. I walked over behind the couch, wrapping arms around my mother and placing a kiss on her temple effectively pulling into the world of the living as she looks up at me with a warm smile on her face.
"Hello sweetheart, did you conversation with your friend go well?" She asks curious.
"Yeah, it did" I said with a nod. "How's school?"
"Good but that's not what I want to talk to you about. Come sit" Mom said patting the empty space next to.
"Okay, what's up?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"You know that your father was rather on the hateful side and quite set in his ways and ideals about certain especially when it comes to homosexually" She says and I couldn't stop myself from snorting at that. "But since he's no longer around to poison you or your sister's mind so I want you to know that this place is a safe and open for if you ever have those kinds of idea or questions then I want you to feel like you're able to come to me and talk. I love you both dearly and I won't judge you or act harshly because of it"
"I know Mom and… there's something that I need to tell you about" I said biting my lip.
"Is it about the gifts that you were receiving lately especially the sun necklace that you've have grown rather attached to?" Mom said gesturing to my necklace. "I am quite sure that Finn couldn't afford something like this, let alone think of something as romantic"
"Yeah, I broke up from Finn and the gifts from are from Rachel Berry"
"Hmm makes sense. She's been pining after you for quite awhile now"
"What?! You knew?!" I asked shocked.
"Yes, I knew but she's not exactly discreet with her feelings for you although I'm surprised that it took you this long to notice" Mom laughs lightly. "She's quite a catch and you might not know this but I and her daddy LeRoy went to school together"
"So you don't have a problem if we got together?"
"Of course not, I told you if you like her in that way than who am I to stand in the way of love but I want you to be sure that this is something that you want and some kind of experimentation because I'm quite sure that Rachel has genuine feelings for you"
"I know and I told her that I'm not sure what I'm feeing for her but I want figure things out with her to see what comes of it" Quinn said running my hand through my hair.
"I think that might be the best course of action but please me careful cause I don't want either one of you getting hurt" Mom said kissing me on the forehead.
"Wait, how did you know about me and Rachel?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"I'm a mother and a mother knows her children plus I have my sources" Mom said winking at me.
I shake my head lightly as I walked up the stairs, peeking through the open door of Kitty's room to see that she's happily playing with Barbies when she looks to see me standing in her room, proceeding to have me play with her. It's times like these that I enjoy the most because I don't always have the time to just relax and spend time with my little sister because of all the homework, Cheerios' practice, volunteer work at the animal shelter, and worrying about college applications. It can get pretty hectic at times and it feels like I'm missing out times that I could be spending with Kitty but not anymore, I'm going to make more time for her because she's very important to me.
"Quinn?"
"Yeah, Kitty"
"I like playing with you" Kitty said smiling.
"I like playing with you too and I'm sorry that I've so busy lately but I promise to make time for you" I said pushing a lock of hair behind her hair.
"Good and that Gigantor came by, he said he needed to talk to you about something"
"You mean Finn" Kitty nodded. "Did he say what he wanted to talk about?"
"No but he didn't look happy then he started muttering to himself something about getting payback and midgets" Kitty said shrugging her shoulders.
A feeling of dread washes over me and I knew that Finn's planning to get back at Rachel for what happened earlier but I have to put a stop to get before more harm comes to her as I pulled out by phone, texting Puck, Mike and Matt. There's no way that I'm telling lay another finger on her if I have a say on it. I'm gonna show that idiot what happens when you cross me.
Shelby was pacing back and forth, debating with herself whether it was a good idea to call Leroy and Hiram about Rachel and the possibility of seeing her with Cassandra sitting on their leather couch with a glass of red wine in her hand. The dancer was getting fed up with the pacing before getting up, taking from her wife and dialing the number before giving it back, feeling rather pleased with herself. The Broadway star puts the device to her, listening to the ringing when a familiar voice picks up the phone as she lets out a shaky breath.
"Hiram?"
"Shelby? Oh my goodness, Leroy it's Shelby! Shelby, give me a second, I'm putting you on speaker phone"
There was the sounds of footsteps and things being moved around then the voice of both men rang through the device
"Hey Shelby, long time no see. How have you been?" Leroy asked curious.
"I've been well but there's a reason that I've called" Shelby said nervously.
"Are you alright? Is there something wrong?" Hiram asked concerned.
"No, no nothing's wrong and I'm perfectly fine but this about Rachel. I know that I signed a contract to not contact her until she's eighteen but is there any way possible I could see or even talk to her. I really want to build a relationship with" I said biting my lip.
"I don't know if that's such a good idea, Shelby" Leroy said unsure. "This could really dispute Rachel's life with suddenly popping out of nowhere and wanting a relationship after sixteen long years"
"I knew that this was going to be a long shot and you're right. I don't know what I was thinking and you probably don't want me anywhere near her. I'm sorry that I called, I'll-"
"Shelby, calm down. It's not that we don't want you around Rachel, it's the suddenness of it all but we do want our daughter to have a relationship with her mother as she hasn't ask too many question about you. I think she has it in her head that if she does then she'll upset us which couldn't be further from the truth" Hiram said shaking his head. "Look we're coming back from a conference and I think that we come home for a little bit and have a conversation about you. If she's receptive to the idea of meeting with you then, we'll talk again about you coming down to Lima. Do you think you can wait a few more days?"
"Yes, of course. Thank you for giving me this chance, you won't regret this" I said happily.
"Oh and Shelby?" Leroy said chiming in.
"Yeah Leroy" I said feeling nervously once again.
"It's good to hear from you" Leroy said fondly.
"You too Roy"
"Tell Cassie that to lay off of the red wine" Hiram jokes.
"I heard that Tiny" Cassandra said taking the phone from me. "I'm surprised that you can even reach the phone to answer it"
"I see that you haven't changed and I thought the married life would've tamed you" Leroy teases.
"Oh please, no one can tame this mustang" Cassandra scoffs lightly.
"Anyway, talk to you guys in a few days" I said hanging up.
I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't believe it but there's a chance that I could once again hold my baby girl in my arms. It's thrilling and terrifying at the same time as this could end well or go completely left field but I have to find if there's a possibility of having a relationship with my daughter as I'm enwrapped in my wife's arms.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm nervous but I'm also excited. What if she doesn't want me in her life? What if she hates me?" I asked worried.
"You can't worry about the 'What ifs'. Shells. There's a possibility that she might not want you in her life but there's also a possibility that she does. You're just gonna have to take a leap of faith and see what happens but I'll be there every step of the way" Cassandra said kissing me on the lips.
"You know if Rachel does want me in her life then I do want you two to be to form some of a relationship as well. I know that we haven't talked about children outside me having my daughter but-"
"Shells, what happens will happen and I'm sure that we'll come to some kind of relationship but I'm happy with our lives as it is but if children is something that we both want then we'll want comes but I wouldn't mind having a few rugrats running around" Cassandra said wriggling her eyebrows suggestively.
"You're incorrigible" I said lightly smacking her arm.
"Oh please you love it but why don't we get start on the baby-making now" Cassandra said suddenly lifting me into her arms and heads for the bedroom.
I'm sitting on top of the roof, looking up at the stars as a light breeze flows through and I couldn't help but think that something's coming and it's gonna change my although I couldn't tell if it was gonna be a good change or not. I've always liked star especially gold stars, thinking that they're a metaphor for me being destined to act on Broadway and I know that I'm gonna make there someday along with a certain head Cheerio by my side when I do. Thinking about Quinn, brings a warm feeling that I just can't deny and never have I thought she would anything for me yet she possibly might want to be my girlfriend. Things seem to be looking for this loser.
