Quinn Fabray and her Fiancée Lee entered the room with no fear, they were a power couple and with Quinn's stunning daughter Beth by their side they looked like the next presidential family of the United States. It was only natural that the first people they would run into would be Noah and Rachel.
'Oh my god, Dad!' Beth shouted across the room when she saw her father and Rachel. Beth had just turned nine, but she wasn't allowed to go and stay with Noah in New York for her birthday because Quinn already had plans for them. Quinn didn't know that Noah or Berry were coming tonight, she guessed that Manhattan was too far away and it would be a bother driving all the way, Apparently she was wrong.
'Beth Corcorall what are you doing here and not tucked up in bed?' Puck knew could see that there were several kids running around the hall so he didn't know why he didn't expect Beth to be there. 'Dad it's like 8oclock? Do you really think I would be in bed?' he didn't admit it, but he liked that his girl was a badass. She took after her dad.
'Hi Quinn, it's good to see you. You haven't introduced me to um...' Rachel put her hand out towards the man that Quinn was with. 'Hi there I'm Lee, Quinn's Fiancée' Rachel was stunned, Fiancée? She thought Quinn was single; Beth never mentioned anything about a Fiancée. 'Oh hi Lee I'm Rachel, it's good to meet you'.
Quinn was clearly not pleased about seeing Rachel or Noah, and was pissed that Rachel was being so polite to her; she thought Rachel knew they weren't friends. 'Anyway... come on Lee, Beth, I'm thirsty' Quinn was clearly trying to get as far away from Rachel Berry as possible.
'I want to stay with Dad and Rachel Mom, please?' Quinn wasn't impressed but her daughter wanted to see her dad, she understood. 'Fine, but don't talk to anybody else unless your Dad introduces you. And me and Lee will be just over by the drinks ok?' Quinn was about to walk off when Rachel grabbed her arm. 'Quinn, be careful of the drinks around there. Most of them are more vodka than fruit juice.' Quinn was only three months away from having her baby and had been completely clean of all alcohol for nine months; it was actually nice of Rachel to warn her. 'Thank you, Rachel.' 'it's no problem, if you find the table with Mercedes and Tina, there are so many bottles of non alcoholic drinks underneath the table, just ask them for a drink'
Quinn took her advice and walked off hand in hand with Lee, there was something that looked wrong about them, they didn't seem like what an engaged couple looked like. When Mercedes had told Rachel about her engagement she was over the moon, Quinn just looked bored, like she was being forced there, but yet again, that could always be because she didn't exactly like Rachel, she wasn't going to act all friendly with her if she didn't have to.
Rachel wondered if Finn was there yet, if Finn was coming at all. Although she didn't think she would want to, she was hoping to see his face. She missed him. She decided to let Noah have some time alone with Beth, they hadn't seen each other in months and it was more of a Father Daughter bonding session, they didn't need her there right now. She decided to go and Find Mercedes, maybe she could introduce her to Thomas; she had to meet him at some point tonight.
So off she went, back in the direction of the tables to find Mercedes. She found the tables again and she started walking towards them. 'Hey! Rachel, over here!' Mercedes was calling her over but Rachel nearly tripped over her own feet when the guy she was sat next to turned and looked her straight in the eye. She couldn't stop now, she had already begun walking... if she turned around and walked the other way she would be stupid. She had to carry on.
