A/N: Finn crawls his way back into Rachel's good books in this.

Chapter 7

December 1st 2010

Finn walks into the choir room and stops when he sees a depressed looking Rachel Berry looking at the floor. He looks around for Quinn who always seems to be ready to block him from going near Rachel, but she is nowhere to be found.

When she doesn't realise he's there, he sits down next to her and she finally lifts her head up, the look in his eyes making him feel sad.

"Are you alright?" She opens her mouth to respond but nothing comes out, so she coughs and tries again.

"Uh... yes"

"You look angry Rach. Tell me. Is it Quinn?" He asks cautiously

"We had an argument"

"Rach come on it's just an argument" He lays a hand on her shoulder carefully in case she flips.

"We've been arguing too much lately"

"Relationships need arguments. What did she do to piss you off?" She looks up at him trying to see if she can trust him or not. She's the only one of the Glee club who has tried with Finn, Quinn is not really happy that Rachel is friends with the giant, but Rachel of course with her big heart, couldn't let him be alone. She shakes her head. "Talk to me. Look I'm not the biggest 'FaBerry' fan I'm here to talk to. I went out with her as well" She sighs and nods her head, turning towards him to tell him what's wrong.

"She's too controlling" She sighs and begins to imitate her girlfriend "Rachel don't wear that today, Rachel come here babe, Rachel don't do that. I am tired of it" Finn nods in understanding.

"Can I give you my verdict?" She nods "Promise you won't shout?" nod. "She's protecting you Rach. Since you got together it's not been easy" She looks up at him and smiles slightly, she really didn't expect to get relationship advice from Finn Hudson of all people.

"You can say that again"

"If you do particular things, like wear a bad sweater" She glares at him "No glaring. It's going to make it worse for you and Quinn wants to protect you" She sighs knowing that something in what he is saying is the truth.

"She should ask me not tell me..." she trails off when she sees her girlfriend standing in the doorway.

"Finn is right Rach" Finn looks up and nods, before standing up to walk out. He squeezes Rachel's shoulder before walking out the door. Quinn takes a seat he just vacated and turns to look at Rachel. "These pig headed bullies have aimed all their assaults at you and if it wasn't for me, Puck & Santana they would be worse" Rachel nods. "All I want is for you to be happy and if that means saying don't do this because it'll bring unnecessary attention, all I wanna do is protect you Rach" She sighs knowing she's saying it all wrong. "I love you Rachel Berry, next time I promise I'll ask" Rachel sighs and stands up, Quinn grabs her hand to stop her from walking out, but Rachel shakes her head and sits down on her lap, wrapping her arms around her neck.

"Quinn, bullies don't bother me. If it means I get to be your girl, I really don't care. I Just love you" she kisses her softly and quickly. "Finn did well. He just protected us princess"

Quinn nods. "I still hate him though ,but he did do well" She smiles and kisses the girl again, making sure to show her how much she loves in that kiss.

December 13th 2010

The new boy Sam had just transferred to McKinley High and of course the first person that met his eye was the gorgeous hazel eyed blond with a sweet personality but she was impossible to talk to as she was always around Rachel Berry.

He is currently sitting in the locker room, when Finn walks in and sits down beside him.

"So... what's up with that Quinn chick?" Sam asks and Finn turns to look at him in shock.

"What do you mean?"

"She's hot. Is she seeing anyone?" Finn's mouth drops open, he couldn't believe this boy in front of him had not heard any of the stories about Quinn or Rachel yet. Did he really not pay any attention?

"Seriously?" He asks "Have you not paid any attention to any of the gossip around the school in the last few weeks?"

"Uh no why?" The blonde haired boy asks with a smile however is smile is wiped with Finn's next statement.

"She's seeing someone"

"Who?"

Finn looks at him in shock, wondering if he should be the one to tell this boy in front of him. He has only just got into the good books with Rachel and was still trying to get into Quinn's good books. Deciding that Sam will go and ask someone else if he doesn't tell him he sighs. "Rachel Berry"

"What about her?" Finn looks at the boy in front of him, wondering how he could possibly be stupider than himself.

"Quinn & Rachel are together" The blonde boys mouth opens in shock. "They have been together for almost a year now Sam. There is no breaking them up don't worry. I tried and ruined all of the friendships I have at this school"

"What?" He exclaims "Quinn is gay? With that little diva thing?"

Finn's hand curls into a fist, but he breathes trying to get rid of the anger. "Call her a thing again and you'll find yourself covered in slushies for the rest of your time here"

"She doesn't seem like the type of be gay. Are you sure?"

Finn laughs. "Yes I'm sure. They came out a few weeks ago, just after you came" Sam looks defeated.

"So I don't have a chance?"

Puck walks into the room and laughs, he heard the majority of the conversation and decides to make his presence known now. "No chance what so-ever lady lips"

Sam looks at the Mohawked boy in front of him and remembers some gossip he has heard. "I heard you and Quinn were together at one point"

Puck shakes his head. "We never dated. We had a one night stand which resulted in a child though" Sam looks even more shocked than earlier.

"Did you give it up for adoption?" Puck shakes his head "How do you do it with school and everything? You're not with her?"

"Quinn's grandmother gave her enough money to hire a nanny. She looks after Madeline whilst we're at school. No we're not together, but I see Maddie as often as I want"

"Wow" Sam says "Congratulations then man" Puck nods in thanks.

"Just stay away from me baby mama. After Rachel has gauged your eyeballs out for looking at her girl, I'll beat the shit into you" Puck and Finn walk out, leaving Sam to ponder in his thoughts. He was the quarterback, he was supposed to be dating the head cheerleader and to find out she was dating the Glee geek just baffled him.

December 15th 2010

Quinn is stood at Rachel's locker waiting for the diva to come out of class. She smiles when she sees her girl walking towards them talking animatedly with Brittany, but her smile fades when she sees Karofsky covering Rachel in a grape slushy before she can get there in time. She runs towards her girl and notices Santana ready to pounce. Quinn pushes Karofsky against the lockers until Santana is there, and then leaves to go clean up Rachel.

"Come on baby"

They walk towards the bathroom hand in hand, Quinn not bothering that her hand now has green slush all over it. When they get to the loos, Rachel pulls away and begins her daily routine. Quinn just watches on, not quite believing that she ever caused this much harm to the girl in front of her.

"Hey could you help me wash my hair?" Rachel asks.

She smiles and gets Rachel to sit on the seat that always seems to be strangely in the bathrooms and then leans her head back and begins to wash all of the slushy out of her gorgeous brown locks. "I'm so sorry Rae"

Rachel looks up and looks confused. "Why?"

"For doing this to you before, I never realised that it... I will personally torture anyone from now on who ever even thinks about doing this" Rachel shakes her head and pulls away from Quinn.

"No you won't. Leave it to Santana if you must. You are not the type to..."

"No one hurts my girl and gets away with it Rach"

"Be that as it may Quinn" Rachel sighs, cleaning her hair the best she can. "I don't want you to torture anyone. You are supposed to be showing me that you have changed"

"I have changed"

"I know you have baby" Quinn hugs Rachel tightly. "Believe me I know, but going around hurting people, is not really something I can sit back and watch. I love you I really do, so please don't hurt people for me. Please" Quinn nods not wanting to do anything to upset her girlfriend.

"Okay, I won't. Can Santana?" Rachel nods with a little chuckle.

"Only if I don't know anything about it" Kiss "I do love you Quinn and I know you are not the same person who used to slushy me"

"I love you too sweetheart. More than I can ever tell you" She hugs her tighter before pulling back to give her a deep kiss making them both smile.
