Thanks to all of you that have been reviewing and rating! You have been making my day! :D

Now, I know the last chapters (this one included) have been quite small, but it was a necessity. Chapter 6 was simply too big to be made a full chapter. Also, to those of you that have been wanting to see more of Levi, this update is for you! :D

CHAPTER 6: (part III)

December 16th, 2031

Alpharetta, GA

8pm

The Berry-Fabray household had not been this quiet since a heated fight between Rachel and Quinn, that made Quinn leave home and go to LA years ago. The environment was heavy and depressed.

The adults sat in the living-room, Quinn and Rachel in the couch with Brittany rubbing soothing circles in Quinn's back, and Quinn doing the same to her sniffing wife. Santana and Blaine were in the kitchen while Kurt was upstairs with the kids.

"C'mon, guys." Blaine coaxed "You have to eat something. Starving yourselves won't bring Aree back."

"I want my daughter…"

Rachel muttered, not tearing her eyes from a picture taken a few years ago. Arianna stood smiling at the camera, dressed in a blue, red and white maillot. Her hair was up in a tight bun and her bangs had fallen lose from her hairpins. It had been one of Aree's first internationals gymnastics competitions, and the child was in pure ecstasy that day. She had been amazing.

Quinn's circles on Rachel's back started to go faster and the blonde woman also stared at their child's picture.

"You have to eat somet-" Santana started only to be interrupted by Kurt's voice sounding from upstairs.

"Levi, stay here!" The blue-eyed man ordered in vain.

"Mommy! Mama!" The small boy ran down the stairs.

"Don't run on the stairs, Levi!" Rachel screeched, startling the boy. Now, as her daughter had been tore away from her, she was hypersensitive to every detail concerning the children.

The 4-years-old stopped on the last stair, afraid he had done something wrong. Quinn realized this, and called her son to her.

"Come here, baby." Levi, extremely aware of his Mama's fragile state, went to his mothers very slowly, for he didn't want to displease anyone. Quinn sat him in her lap.

"Mommy, where's Aree?" The innocent child asked, not knowing he was upsetting Rachel and Quinn even more.

"I…we…we don't know, Levi…"

"Why is she not here? Is that why we aren't with Pappy and Grandpa right now? Did she get lost?"

"Someone bad came and took Aree from us." Quinn tried to explain.

"Why? Doesn't she rather stay with us?"

"She didn't have a choice, sweetheart. The bad man didn't let her." Quinn was tearing up, and Rachel was openly crying by now.

"But I want her with us, Mommy!" The little boy asked; he also had tears in his eyes, and a few big ones were starting to run down his smooth face.

"We want her with us too, baby."

"Mommy…do something…" The child sobbed into his mother's chest.

"I don't know what to do…Mommy's powerless."

"But she's your baby too, Mommy…"

"I know, I know, honey…" Quinn sobbed, smelling her son's hair. "We'll find Aree, ok?"

"Do you promise? I know sometimes she and I don't like each other, but I want her with me…she's my big sister, Mommy. She taught me how to do flips on the trampoline, and she promised she'd taught me how to do a mortal! And we always keep our promises or else they're not promises, right Mommy?"

"Yeah, baby."

"So you promise to bring Aree back?"

"I promise. We need her to teach us these crazy things, don't we?"

"Hum-hum."

The conversation ended with that. Levi fell asleep soon after his talk with Quinn and both the blonde woman and Rachel stayed up all night in their bedroom with their child between their bodies, promising each other to find the missing one and bring her back.


Hope you enjoyed it! And don't worry, there will be more (much more) concerning the kids.

A little side note, though: this was probably my last chapter before I leave on holliday. I'll try my best to make one more (BIG!) update, but I can't guarantee anything. This being said, I hope I didn't disappoint anyone!
