Chapter Nine

It's Gonna be Love

Three months had passed since Quinn and Rachel's first date and it was difficult not to see how incandescently happy they were. The whole school population — teachers included — were shocked when, suddenly, the Head Cheerio walked hand in hand with the starlet. But the girls didn't care. They shared small kisses by their lockers and intertwined their hands whenever they could. Quinn escorted Rachel to each and every class and the diva gladly watched her girlfriend's flips on the branches during the cheerio's practices.

Quinn hadn't given up Glee and Rachel was absolutely delighted to have her girlfriend by her side on their meetings. The blonde was more than glad to make her girl smile, so that's why she'd always arrange a romantic gesture between their classes. Sometimes the HBIC would prepare them a picnic at the auditorium and would always make sure to include vegan snacks. There were times when she would bring her a single gardenia and would softly sing one of Rachel's favorite songs on her ear — and Quinn's heart always swelled when the brunette sighed happily and carried the flower wherever she went.

They went out on romantic dates planned by Quinn, and Hiram and Leroy even welcomed the blonde on their Saturday's movie night with the promise that the girls would respect the open door policy. They tried to as much as they could, but there were times when they couldn't help themselves.

They made out. They made out a lot.

Now, Rachel wasn't very experienced in the art of kissing as she would put it, but Quinn didn't care. In fact, the Head Cheerio was more than glad to teach her everything she knew.

"Q-Quinn… My dads… They… They might…" Rachel mumbled breathlessly while Quinn planted open mouth kisses all over her neck. She was dangerously losing track of her coherent thoughts.

"Relax, baby." Quinn murmured bringing Rachel's body closer to hers by her waist. "The door's open, so we're good. They didn't say anything about us making out with the door open." Rachel giggled as she combed Quinn's hair with her fingers.

"You're insatiable, Miss Fabray." The brunette remarked. Quinn chuckled lightly and gently bit Rachel's pulse point. "Hmm… And stop biting on me like Edward Cullen."

"You love it." Quinn stated while biting her again to prove her point. And as predicted, Rachel gasped and flushed her body even closer to the smirking blonde. "Besides, I can't help it. You smell so good and you're so beautiful. Plus, your lips taste like strawberries." Rachel knew that she was blushing; however, she was also sure that the blonde wouldn't be able to tell since she was already reddened by their heavy activities.

"W-why, thank you, Quinn." She said trying to speak as normally as she could even though Quinn's tongue and warm breathe on her shoulder was making it difficult to be accomplished. "I've always enjoyed applying strawberry lip gloss on my lips and had I known you enjoyed it so much sooner, I'd…" Quinn cut her ramble with a passionate kiss. Rachel moaned and opened her lips to allow Quinn's tongue to play with hers. After three months of kissing Quinn Fabray, Rachel had refined some moves of her own and her heart beamed inside everytime she heard the blonde's sound of approve. The smaller girl gently bitted and sucked her girlfriend's lower lip before deepening it again.

"God, Rach." Quinn said panting when they broke apart. If they hadn't been sitting on the brunette's bed, the Head Cheerio was sure they would have fallen because her legs felt like jell-o. "Just… Wow." Rachel giggled and straddled her girlfriend circling her arms around her neck.

"Don't complain, honey. You're the one who taught me all this." The diva said pouting. Quinn sneered and let her hands wonder through Rachel's back under her sweater. She bit her lip to restrain her moan when she felt the silk tanned skin of her girlfriend.

"And who said I'm complaining, babe?" Quinn said winkling seductively. Rachel giggled.

"Well then." Kiss. "If that's the case…" Kiss. "You won't mind…" Kiss. "If I do…" Kiss. "This." Rachel roughly pushed Quinn against her pillows and lay down on top of her.

"Rach…" Quinn whimpered. Rachel simply smiled and kissed her again. Quinn was in heaven. Every piece of Rachel's boy was connected to hers and as she felt tiny hands gently caressing her cheeks she decided that she had never been so totally happy in her life.

She only forgot to reason that there's always something ready to ruin those precious perfect moments.

"Ahem." Leroy Berry cleared his throat and watched in amusement as the girls quickly broke apart and stared at him with comically wide eyes. "What have I said about intercourse, girls?" He directed his glance at Quinn, who gulped and looked down.

"My apologies, Mr. Berry. I assure you that it won't happen again." She said guiltily. The man faked a stern look.

"Just be glad that it was me who found you. Had it been Hiram you wouldn't be so lucky." Rachel pouted and gently took hold of Quinn's hand.

"Don't blame her, daddy. It was my fault as much as hers." At his daughter's sweet tone, Leroy couldn't help but smile.

"It's ok, honey. Just don't do it again, will you? At least… Not when I'm around." Leroy said winkling. "Anyways dinner is ready. Fix your clothes and come downstairs in five." When he walked out, Quinn released a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Gosh, that was awkward." Rachel giggled and combed her hair.

"I told you we could get caught." Quinn groaned and Rachel sat on her lap. "Don't be sad, sweetie. We still have a secret date later tonight, remember." At this, Quinn smiled and pecked Rachel's lips.

"Yeah, of course I do, Rach." The brunette beamed and hugged her girlfriend.

"Good. Do you have everything ready and set to go?" Quinn placed a small kiss right above Rachel's ear and giggled.

"For you, baby, I'm ready for everything."

Rachel blushed and shivered pleasantly. And when she looked into Quinn's hazel eyes, filled with love and desire she knew she was in trouble.

And for the first time in her life, Rachel Berry was glad for it.

After they had dinner with Rachel's parents, Quinn wished them goodnight and headed to her car. It was nearly eight o'clock, so it meant that she'd have to wait ten more minutes for Rachel. Sighing contentedly, Quinn started her car and drove a few meters until she got into the next block.

Now, Rachel didn't like to lie to her parents and neither did Quinn — especially because Hiram would break her frail frame with a finger if he ever found out about the girls secret —, but they knew that the Berry men would never allow them to meet so late at night for a date during the week. Especially because the said date was set on the cemetery in order to see the stars.

Love takes risks, right? And it was no secret that Quinn would do anything to please Rachel.

After exact ten minutes, Quinn saw Rachel's figure approaching her car and smiled.

"Hey, babe." Quinn greeted her girlfriend with a sweet kiss when she got into her car. "Do you think they noticed you sneaking out?" Rachel shook her head and fastened her seatbelt.

"I don't think so. I told them that I'd get some homework done then I'd go to bed." Quinn smirked and started driving.

"You're getting good at it, Miss Berry." Rachel pouted and crossed her arms.

"Well, that's what happens when you have a sweet criminal as a girlfriend." Quinn giggled and nearly drove off the road. Rachel yelped and put her hands over her heart. "Quinn Fabray! I demand that you keep your eyes on the road!" Quinn nodded still chuckling.

"Alright, alright, miss!" She said. "But don't pretend you don't enjoy spending time with me." Rachel groaned and Quinn smiled amusedly. Not being able to ignore her girlfriend's adorableness any longer, Rachel giggled and started singing Britney's hit. By the time she got into the verse "and I hear people talk trying to make remarks, keep us apart", Quinn parked her car in the front of the cemetery and politely opened the passenger door for Rachel.

"Always a gentlewoman." The brunette said blushing.

"You deserve it, baby." Quinn said winkling. She opened her truck and got Rachel's telescope and a heavy backpack. Rachel tried to help her carry all of their things, but Quinn dismissed her with a gentle wave of her hand. Smiling, the brunette made her away towards the middle of the cemetery with Quinn right on her tracks. They settled the telescope between a few gravestones and Quinn started rummaging her backpack.

"Hey, Rach?" She called her girlfriend.

"What is it, baby?" Quinn smiled at the term of endearment and offered Rachel a small piece of paper. There were some coordinates written all over its surface.

"Can you find this star for me, please?" Rachel smiled.

"Sure, honey. Just give me a second, ok?" Quinn nodded and took this time to put a blanket over the newly cut grass. Noticing the movement, Rachel looked at her girlfriend briefly.

"A blanket?" Quinn smirked.

"Yep! I also brought hot coffee and some cookies." Rachel bit her lip.

"Miss Fabray… Are you trying to seduce me?" Quinn lifted an eyebrow.

"Why? Are you seducible?" Rachel smirked, feeling her cheeks reddening.

"Maybe." Quinn laughed amusedly and watched nervously as Rachel kept the search for the star. Five minutes later she finally found it.

"Here it is, Quinn!" She announced happily. "But why did you want me to find this one?" Quinn took a deep breathe and gently intertwined their fingers.

"Because I gave it your name." She simply stated biting her lip. Rachel stared at her confusingly.

"What?" Quinn caught a carefully wrapped up paper from the pocket of her dress and gave it to Rachel.

"It's official. It's from the International Star Registry." Quinn told her proudly. Rachel unfolded the paper and felt her eyes moisten at the sweetness of her girlfriend's act.

"Quinn…"

"One day, when your name shines on Broadway, the world will know that somewhere in the galaxy there's a star named after you. And I'm sure that, just like me, they'll immediately realize that, even if it's beautiful and full of energy, it will never compare to you." Quinn said while whipping away the brunette's tears. She kissed Rachel's forehead and whispered in her ear: "It will never compare to you because you're amazing, Rachel Berry. And I love you. I love you so much." Rachel's response was to join their lips in a tender kiss.

There was no rush as they stroked each other's lips under the stars. Rachel hadn't said that she loved Quinn back, but the blonde knew that she was making her feel it over and over again every time she pulled her closer by the kiss.

"I'm so lucky to have you." Rachel whispered when they broke apart. Quinn smiled and guided them towards the blankets. The Head Cheerio sat down with Rachel's back pressed against her chest. She kissed the top of the diva's head and circled her waist to bring her even closer. Rachel sighed and rested her head over Quinn's shoulder. They stayed like that for a few moments, simply enjoying each other's presence.

"What's the number one, baby?" Quinn asked after a while. She didn't expect Rachel to answer the question, but she figured that it wouldn't hurt to try.

"It's silly, really." Rachel shyly said. Quinn kissed her temple.

"Nothing you wish to come true is silly, babe. Not for me." Quinn's statement gave her courage to continue:

"Ever since I was little I dreamed to have a successful last year at High School." She said. "I would win nationals and would go to New York right after that. By the age of 25, I'd win a Tony and…" She hesitated and Quinn cradled her body so she could stare into chocolate shining eyes.

"And what, Baby?" Rachel bit her lip shyly.

"And then someone would be waiting for me on the backstage with a beautiful bouquet. They would get down on their knees, declare their undying love for me and ask me to marry them. The ceremony would be beautiful, of course and after a year or so, we'd have kids. I want two." Quinn smiled dreamily as she imagined this scenario between Rachel and herself. And as she kissed the girl of her dreams, she mentally made a promise that she would make everything in her power to make the girl's wishes come true.

They watched the sunrise on the next morning and the entire time Quinn's heart was telling her that, indeed, she's never been so happy in her seventeen years on earth.

"How is your relationship with Rachel going?" Brittany asked Quinn as they were getting ready to leave after a heavy cheerio practice. Santana snarled and the smaller blonde ignored her.

"It's going great, Brit." She replied gently. She knew that Brittany was being genuine and that she never actually intended to do any harm at Rachel. In fact, Rachel had told her that Brittany was always nice to her whenever they shared classes.

"I'm so happy for you, Q!" The taller blonde said beaming. "I like Rachel. I wish we could go out on a double date…"

"No way in hell, baby." Santana said staring coldly at Quinn. "I'm not going out with the traitor and the dwarf." Quinn fisted her hands and did her best to ignore the Latina. The last thing she needed was to get suspended because of a stupid fight.

"Don't be so mean, San." Brittany reprehended her girlfriend. "I wish you two would stop fighting." She said sadly. Quinn sighed. True to be said, she missed spending time with her friends, but she knew they were in different worlds now. She was comfortable with who she was and there was no way in hell she'd become a selfish girl again. She loved Rachel too much to do something stupid like that.

"Listen, I actually wanted to ask you something, B."

"If you're trying to convince her to go out with you in a foolish double date I swear to God I'll kill you, Fabray." Ignoring Santana's threaten, Quinn carried on:

"You're a great dancer, right?" Brittany nodded happily and Quinn grinned. "Well, I was wondering if you'd like to join the Glee Club. We're missing some members and I thought you'd be a great addition to our group. Sam and Mike from the football team said they'll be joining." Santana huffed while Brittany beamed.

"Really? You think so?" She asked hopefully. Santana grabbed her elbow and made her look at her.

"You can't join this stupid club, baby! This is insane!" The Latina said. Quinn watched as Brittany pouted and smiled. She knew that it would be the death of Santana.

"But, babe, I wanna join it! I'll be able to dance more and sign Britney Spears songs. You know you love it when I sing Toxic for you when we…"

"Ok, ok, too much information, baby!" Santana cut her off. "But that's different; you can't go on and show your secret weapons to the whole school." Brittany frowned confused.

"But I don't have any guns, San. It's illegal." She whined. Giggling Quinn took it as her cue to leave.

"Well, I have to go now, Rach is waiting for me." She said grabbing her backpack. "But please Brit, make sure to consider my offer, ok?" Without shooting Santana another glance, Quinn made her way towards the parking lot feeling very satisfied with herself. Even thought she was sure she had heard Santana sending some nasty curses in Spanish at her back.

At Friday, Quinn wanted to take Rachel out to watch some movies but she changed her mind as soon as she saw her girlfriend by her locker that morning. The brunette's usual tanned skin was pale and there were dark circles around her beautiful chocolate eyes. Quinn immediately got worried. She approached the diva's locker and carefully rested a hand over her shoulder.

"What's wrong, baby? Are you not feeling well?" Quinn asked. Rachel offered her a small smile and shook her head.

"I'm ok, Quinn. I just didn't sleep well, that's all." The blonde looked unconvinced.

"It doesn't seem like nothing, Rach. You look pale." She said as she gently run the tip of her fingers over the dark circles under the girl's eyes. Rachel closed her eyes and leaned into the touch. Afraid that her girlfriend might fall, Quinn brought her closer by the waist. "I'm taking you home, Rach. You need to rest." Rachel quickly opened her eyes and shook her head.

"I'm not going home, Quinn! I have to get to class! A-and it'll ruin my grades if-if…" Sensing that the girl was getting too agitated, Quinn gently placed a finger between her lips to silence her.

"Shh, baby. Ok. It's ok." She said while rubbing her back up and down.

"I'll be ok, Quinn. I promise." Rachel said after a while. Quinn wasn't so sure, but nodded for her girl's sake. She pecked her lips tenderly and grabbed her backpack.

"Ok. But we'll be going home as soon as school ends, ok?" Rachel smiled and nodded.

"Ok. Can we watch Funny Girl?" Quinn rolled her eyes playfully.

"Yeah, Rach, we can watch Funny Girl." Rachel beamed but Quinn noticed that she was doing it cautiously. It didn't help her to get less concerned.

The clocked worked slowly that day and Quinn couldn't wait for it to end. She wanted to make sure that Rachel would get plenty of rest when she got home, but not before she got something to eat: the brunette barely touched her food during lunch time.

When the bell rung, Rachel kept her promise and met Quinn on the parking lot. After they shared a sweet kiss, Quinn drove them home and made Rachel lie down on the couch as she got them some snacks. The diva complained when she eyed the juice being offered to her, declaring that her stomach was making funny flips, but Quinn would have none of it.

After five more minutes of whining, Rachel drank the juice winning a bright smile from Quinn. The blonde then put Funny Girl on the DVD and rested Rachel's head over her shoulder.

The movie was on its first minutes when Quinn noticed that Rachel had fallen asleep on her.

"Rach?" Quinn called her while she caressed her hair. "Baby?" The blonde rested her hand over the brunette's forehead and got alarmed when she felt how warm the girl was. "Jesus, baby, you're burning up." She murmured more to herself than to Rachel. Carefully, Quinn laid Rachel down on the couch and caressed her cheek.

"C'mon, baby, open your beautiful eyes for me." Quinn said. Rachel moaned and slowly opened her eyes. They seemed unfocused for a moment. "There you are, Rach. I missed you, you know?" Quinn said smiling. Rachel returned it but winced in pain.

"Quinn… The movie… We…" She mumbled.

"You fell asleep on me, baby." Quinn said softly while she combed Rachel's hair with her fingers. "You have a fever, Rach. Do you have some medicine somewhere?" Rachel nodded sleepily.

"They-they are on the kitchen's counter. There're a blue one and a red one on its top. Bring me both. I also need a small box… It's yellow." Quinn nodded and grabbed the medications Rachel had told her about. She watched as the girl put six different pills over her hand before she swallowed them. The girl drank the glass of water Quinn had brought her gratefully.

"Rach?" Quinn hesitantly called the girl. "Why did you take so many pills?" Rachel sighed and closed her eyes.

"They-they help-help me. I'll… I'll be ok." She told her tiredly. Quinn stared at her girlfriend worriedly and decided to don't push her. She'd question her about it later when she was feeling better.

"Can we… Can we watch the movie now?" Rachel asked with her eyes still closed. Quinn chuckled at the cuteness of this.

"I don't think you'll be able to watch fully today, baby." She said kissing her feverish forehead.

"I'm not… I'm not tired." Rachel whined. Quinn giggled.

"Yes, you are." She said as she gently carried the girl bridal style towards her room. Never before had she been so thankful of the cheerio's training. It felt amazing to carry Rachel like that. "You're gonna rest now, Miss Berry." The brunette sighed softly and nodded.

Quinn gently laid her down on the bed and put a comforter over the diva's small frame.

"Stay with me?" Rachel whispered make some room for Quinn. The blonde smiled and got into the bed with her girl.

"Always." She whispered as she embraced the girl and joined her in a peaceful sleep.

Later that evening, Leroy and Hiram would stare at them from the doorframe with matching pained eyes.

"It's not fair, Hiram. Our little girl…." Leroy whispered trying not to cry. His husband circled his arm around his waist and kissed the top of his head.

"I know, baby. I know." He whispered sadly.

"What about Quinn? She needs to know. We can't keep it from her." Hiram nodded.

"I agree. But it's not our role to tell her." He murmured. "Rachel is the one who needs to tell her and I'm sure she will in the right time."


A/N2: Soooo, there will be some angst on the next chapter… Be ready for some tears! Now, pleeeeeease, review and let me know what you think! =)

A/N3: I just have to say that I'm really sad about the fact that Dianna won't be on season 4. Whyyyyyyyyyyy! I want my Faberry, this is not fair at all. Maybe we should demand the deleted scene from On My Way since Ryan has a Twitter account now. It's the least he can do since he's been ruining our hearts with all that Finchel shit. Anyone wanna join me?
