Epilogue

Five Years Later

When Rachel bought the blonde haired beauty in the wench auction, she never expected to actually fall in love with her. But, she did. Rachel learned to love Quinn just by having her in her bed and being there for each other. Rachel protected her and she in turn, gained a powerful confidant.

And somehow, Quinn learned to love her back. Maybe it was because she in a complicated situation and the blonde clung to the other pirate for lack of anyone else. But, Rachel wanted to believe that Quinn loved her because she was good to the blonde wench and that it was enough to wear down her old notions against homosexuality.

But, whatever the reason, the fact remained; Quinn and Rachel were hopelessly in love with each other. Rachel didn't think that she could love the girl any more than she already did, but she does. At this moment in particular, Rachel loves Quinn more than anything else in the world.

"Fuck you," Quinn swore. "This thing is never coming out." Rachel just held her wife's hand, as Quinn tried to push their child out of her body.

"Baby," Rachel cooed, "you're doing great."

"Rachel, shut up. I hate you right now," the blonde yelled as she squeezed Rachel's hand.

"Ow."

"That's nothing." Puck just laughed at the blonde's griping. And Quinn snapped at the new Captain of "La Baja." "What are you laughing at Noah? You're the one that did this to me."

"It was your wife's idea," he countered. "Besides that sex was hot." Quinn and Rachel both glared at him, and he swallowed hard. Rachel smiled to herself. He wasn't wrong. Rachel got to tease and caress her wife as Puck thrust into her. They wanted a baby and there was no man on the ship that they trusted more than Noah.

"Quinn," the midwife said, "I can see the head. You're almost there. Just push, honey." And Quinn gave it all she got, squeezing the life out of Rachel's hand. Puck just stood behind the midwife watching the baby come out and looking kind of like he was about to faint. "Here's the head, and here comes the shoulders. You're doing fine, Quinn. Come on, keep pushing. Aw, it's a girl. Alright, legs, feet and she's out."

Quinn panted as the midwife cut the cord and cleaned up her little girl. Then a minute later she came back with the little bundle wrapped in a blanket, and placed it in Quinn's arms. Rachel scooted over into the bed, behind Quinn, and Puck walked over to the other side of Quinn.

"Hi there," Quinn cooed at her daughter. She smiled and looked over at her wife, who had tears in her eyes. "Hey there, little one."

"What's her name," Noah asked.

Quinn looked up at Rachel and they smiled at each other. "Beth Fabray Berry," Rachel stated proudly.

"No Puckerman in there? After all, I am the father."

"Noah, your last name might be Puckerman, but you know that you are basically a Berry. Besides my name carries more weight."

"Hey, I'm the new Captain of the ship."

"Only because Dad and Daddy retired. Besides, I'm the Quartermaster. I have just as much power as you do."

"Alright," Quinn interrupted, "back to your corners. Besides, I think this little one wants her other mommy to hold her. Noah, why don't you bring the others in? Elias, Jackson, Santana, Brittany, and Sue have been waiting outside for a while." Quinn handed over her daughter and Puck went outside and got the gang.

They introduced their daughter to everyone. Jackson and Elias smiled and took turns holding their grand-daughter. Brittany and Santana gave a little stuffed duck to the young girl, while Sue promised to see to it that the little girl grew up strong and brave like her two mothers.

"So," Brittany asked, "what's her pirate name?" The three parents all looked at each other and shrugged. None of them have really thought about it.

"You didn't come up with a pirate name," Sue scolded. "Shame on you." Elias and Jackson just laughed.

"I have an idea for one," Santana said. "Rachel, your name in Italian means our star, right?" Rachel nodded. "Well this little girl is going to be your little star, so how about that? Estrella Poca. Little star."

Quinn glanced over at Rachel and smiled, "I like it."

Rachel just nodded and kissed her wife, "Me too."

"You know," Sue interrupted, "that's what Shelby used to call you before you were born, Rachel. You were her little star." Jackson and Elias just nodded at the memory.

Puck chuckled, "Little star it is. Hello, Baby Estrella."

Quinn pulled Rachel closer to her on the bed, so that both of them were seated comfortably, and Elias gave the baby back to Quinn. Quinn took Beth into her arms and laid her own head on Rachel's shoulder.

"Santana," Brittany smirked, "look how cute they are. I want a baby."

"Okay, Brittany," Santana said. "I guess we now have to give this little one a playmate."

"Yay. You're going to look so pretty pregnant," Brittany replied as she stroked Santana's stomach.

"Wait. Why do I have to carry the child?"

"Because I'm a pirate officer. I can't be pregnant in front of the crew."

"Who says?"

"Yeah, Brittany," Quinn interjected, "who says? Rachel is going to have the next one."

"Wait," Rachel stammered. "What? I'm the Quartermaster, I can't."

"Yes, you can and yes, you are."

Jackson and Elias wrapped their hands around each other and chuckled at the exchange. Sue just whispered something into Brittany's ear and she beamed at her mother. Brittany then whispered in Santana's ear, which caused the Latina to sigh. "Okay, I'll have this one, but you're getting the next one. You should do the same, Berry, fair is fair."

Rachel sighed, "We'll talk about it." Quinn smiled and yawned. "Alright, my baby mama's sleepy. I think it's time for you all to go." Everyone filed out of the room and Quinn cuddled up to Rachel with Beth in her arm. Rachel kissed her wife, and embraced her tighter. She kissed the top of Beth's head and began to sing "Hoist the Colors," as a lullaby, just as her fathers had done for her when she was younger. As she sang, Rachel smiled, knowing the life couldn't get any better than this.
