Ch.10

It was late and I probably should have been sleeping but I found that I couldn't. Normally at one in the morning on a Saturday night I was fast asleep, only waking when my little dancer decided to do the jig on my bladder forcing me to wake and use the bathroom. That however was not the problem, no the problem was that Aidan had taken Quinn out tonight for a date. Okay so that wasn't odd, they were boyfriend and girlfriend and had been on many dates, but this was different, it was there three month anniversary for one and second it was 1pm and Quinn was still not home. Every other date they had been on Quinn was in the door by twelve on the dot. She was an hour late, I know she didn't say she'd be home at twelve but she always was, what if something happened to her, what if she was hurt, or upset, or sleeping over Aidan's tonight. Ugh I couldn't think like that, everything was fine, Quinn would be home soon in her bed, alone, and I could get some sleep.

A thump at the front door startled me, I reached around and grasped for the baseball bat I kept by my bed, one could never be too careful. The rattling of the handle had me on my feet slowly moving towards my bedroom door. Then I heard the door open and voices.

"Shh, Rachel's probably sleeping." It was Quinn obviously failing miserably at attempting to whisper.

"Sorry, your so gorgeous." Aidan responded with an even worse whisper attempt. I couldn't disagree with him, Quinn had looked stunning this evening when she'd walked out of her room to meet him. She had worn a classy little black dress with a plunging v neck line that showed the barest hint of cleavage, cap sleeves. It was tight and hugged her thin torso before going out in an A-line at her hips. The flowing skirt ended just above her knees. She wore strappy stilettos, pearl necklace and earrings, and a gold and pearl bracelet. Here hair had fallen in gentle waves to just above her shoulders. Quinn really was the most beautiful woman Rachel had ever seen. Aidan had looked equally dapper in stone grey slacks with matching sports jacket, blue shirt and blue, white, and grey tie. They seriously looked like they stepped out of a Calvin Klein ad. I'd snapped a picture and sent it to Santana who responded with "So friggin charming" and a gagging emoticon.

"Aidan…" Quinn sighed. I could practically imagine her ivory skin blushing a rosy pink as she dipped her head modestly.

"It's true, and not just your looks, Quinn you're stunning inside and out, the strongest, bravest, most loving, and caring woman I know. I love you."

I gasped and I felt my heart stutter, had he just said what I thought he said.

"I love you too." Quinn sounded so sure, I could hear the smile in voice. My heart raced rapidly. Nausea welled up from my stomach, of course my little one would take this moment to reminded me of his or her presence.

I shouldn't be listening but I couldn't tear myself away. It was quiet and then I heard lips meeting furiously and bodies knocking into furniture. Suddenly the wall shook as someone collided with my door. "Aidan, Rachel." Quinn scolded.

"Sorry." Then I heard them move to Quinn's door, it opened, shot, the wall shook again, silence, and then "Wait." It was Quinn and she sounded so small, so vulnerable.

"What's wrong, did I do something wrong?" Aidan truly sounded concerned.

"No it's just….I haven't done this since, since Beth." The reality of that confession struck me. Quinn hadn't had sex since the night Beth was conceived. I was truly shocked, I had assumed she'd at least been with Finn and Sam.

"Quinn, we can wait. I love you but I don't want to force you into doing anything you're not ready for, I'll wait for you, I'll wait forever." Okay that was really cheese and kind of cliché.

Quinn was quiet or she spoke so low I couldn't hear here through the wall. I thought this would be the end of it, and Aidan would leave and I could go to sleep.

"No, I want to, with you, I really do love you. I'm just scared." There was an honesty in Quinn's voice that struck me.

"It's normal to be scarred Quinn, I'm a little scared too."

"Really?" There was disbelief in Quinn's tone.

"Really, I've never felt like this before Quinn, and though I've been with other woman, its never ever felt like this. I want to make love to you Quinn, I don't just want sex. I finally know what the difference is and that is because of you and I want to make this perfect for you because you deserve for it to be a good experience, something that you enjoy and never regret. So if you want to wait that is fine with me, I am here when you are ready." Damn he was good. He seemed to really care for Quinn the way no man had ever before.

"No waiting, I want this too and I want it with you." I could hear them kissing again. I felt sick again. I couldn't listen to this, I'd heard too much already. This was private moment between Quinn and Aidan and I was encroaching on it like a peeping Tom. I should go to sleep but I couldn't I needed to get out. Quickly I searched for my sweater and my keys.

"Wait," it was Quinn again, "the light turn it off first."

"Why?"

"Because, Aidan my scars…"

"Are as stunning as you, they are beautiful and tell the story of your strength Quinn. I love them."

Alright I had to go. I slipped out my room across the living room and out the door. I was dialing before for I even knew what I was doing. On the eight ring it was answered.

"What the fuck Berry it's 1:30 in the god damn morning and you're calling me, this had better be good."

"It's Quinn." I blurted.

"What, what's wrong?" Santana immediately sounded awake, I could hear her getting out of bed.

"She's making a mistake." I didn't know where all of this was coming from all I knew was I had to say it, I had to tell someone.

"What do you mean she's making a mistake?"

"She's having sex with Aidan." I yelled.

"Wait what?" I could hear Santana pausing her actions.

"I heard her and Aidan come in, she was late, she is always home by twelve, but then tonight she wasn't. I was really worried and then I heard them come in a half hour ago. They were trying to be quiet but it is quite clear they are both drunk. They were talking and Aidan said he loved her and then she said she loved him. Then they were making out all over our living room and then crashed into my door before going into Quinn's room. I could hear them, I wasn't trying to listen but they were so loud. Quinn stopped them because she was scared and hasn't had sex since Puck and the night they made Beth. Did you know that? I didn't. Anyway he told her he could wait that he would wait forever, which is so cliché and puke worthy, but he sounded so sincere. Then he said he was scared too because Quinn made him realize the difference between sex and making love and he wanted to make love to Quinn not have sex. Quinn said she wanted that too. That's when I knew I had to get out of there. And as I was leaving I heard her tell Aidan she didn't want him to see her scars but he said he loved them. Can't you see it Sanatana, she isn't ready and he is taking advantage of her in her inebriated state. I should go back, I should stop this. She can't get hurt again like that." I started back towards the apartment when I heard Santana finally respond.

"Don't you dare take another step Rachel Barbara Berry." Santana sounded deathly serious so I paused.

"But San I have to save her."

"You have to do no such thing. Calm down now Berry."

"Sanny."

"Don't Sanny me. Q is a big girl and she knows what she is doing. Quinn's not been lucky with any man in her life and from what you've told me and what she's told me Aidan seems like one of the rare good ones so you will not mess this up for her. If we're wrong then we'll be her shoulder to cry on and we'll secretly beat the living crap out of him."

"San I…she sounded unsure?"

"Unsure or nervous?"

I had to think about it a second, at first yeah definitely unsure but at the end, "Nervous."

"See now this is what you are going to do, you are going to go back to your apartment wait ten minutes until you are calm then you are going to go to your bed room and go to sleep, got it chica?"

"Yes, but I still maintain that this is a bad idea."

"Is it really a bad idea or do you think it is because Quinn now has someone else in her life who truly cares about her and it isn't just you she can lean on?"

I was taken back Santana's accusation. "No, how dare you."

"Just checking, you've always been the one Q came to when things got really bad, even when she didn't want to she still somehow always ended up spilling here guts out to you because you were so damn persistent. Its alright that she has someone else to turn to now, especially when you have your own life to deal with right not."

"This has nothing to do with me wanting to be Quinn's go to girl. It just, it doesn't feel right to me."

"Mmhmm, maybe you should start to think about why that maybe." Santana sounded different when she said that.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, forget it. Now go back to you bedroom, let Q get her freak on with the Ivy league giant, cause god knows them grapes have been pruning."

"Eww seriously Santana you can be so crude sometimes." I could hear her laughing and I knew she'd said it just to get a rise out of me.
"Yeah well that is what you get for waking me up at 2 in the morning. Night Hobbit."

"Night Satan."
