Chapter 10

I sighed. One more month and I can get this cast off. Boy am I looking forward to that day. I imagined a chorus of hallelujahs singing behind me the moment they sawed the damn thing off. That would be epic..

I looked at the clock and It was nearing three. Quinn left to the hospital a little over three hours ago to take her big test. She said she'd do fine even though I only saw her studying a handful of times. Fucking perfect memory. Yeah..I'm jealous. It's practically a superpower!

Quinn and I had been going slow over the past few days. I didn't want to push her seeing as this is her first relationship with a woman and I wanted her to feel comfortable about us. I grinned at the thought of her, she is so charming. I scoffed to myself and rolled my eyes. I'm like some lovesick teenager let me tell you. My heart swoons shamefully at the thought of her.

I heard my phone ring and looked to see who it was.

Dad.

I frowned, more surprised rather than worried. I knew if something was wrong he wouldn't even contact me about it, not wanting to concern me. "Dad?"

"Hey sweetheart."

I smiled. "Dad! What's up?"

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to say hi. How are things?"

I grinned and thought of Quinn. "Things are great. I'm just lazing around really." I'm not telling him about Quinn. He has enough to think about. Besides he doesn't even know I'm gay.

"Oh well that's good." he said warmly.

"How are you and Daddy?" I asked hesitantly. I had to ask or else I would seem rude..

I heard him sigh on the other line. "Same old stuff is going on," Great. "Listen baby...I meant to call you and talk to you about your father some time ago, but I got caught up with work."

I swallowed thickly. I know what alcoholics are like. They spend every penny on booze, that's probably what my Daddy was doing, so my Dad had to work harder. This is all so fucked up.

"You don't need to say anything, Dad." I said quietly. "We don't have to talk about it."

"Well...I'll erm, have you know I'm forcing him to go to AA meetings." I gasped. Daddy would never agree to that, he's stubborn.

"How's uh, that going?"

"Not good." I could practically feel his frustration.

"I'm really sorry, Dad." My eyes started to tear up but I held the tears at bay. Fuck crying.

"I just thought I'd update you, Rachel." I wish I was strong enough to be there for him. But, I'm a coward. I can't take them.

"I understand." I muttered.

We said our goodbyes which was pretty awkward. Things have never been awkward between me and Dad. I was his little princess as corny as that sounds. God Damn I'm going to have to suck it up one day and go knock some sense into Daddy before he gets himself hurt and rips our family apart even more.

I sighed and clicked on the TV. Quinn had it on Discovery Health earlier and now it was on some trauma show. Immediately engrossed in the rather strange cases that sometimes enter the ER, I laughed.

A hardcore drug addict had arrived knocked out and it turns out she had a crack pipe shoved up her ass in order to conceal it. I cackled as I watched the doctors reactions. I should text this to Santana, she'd have a fit! My thoughts drifted. I wonder if Quinn has seen anything totally bat shit crazy such as this.

I smiled. All of my thoughts eventually end up on Quinn, it was inevitable. Throughout the course of only a few days she has swept me off my feet with her dorkiness and charm. Then, I heard a knock on the door.

Curious, I got up and went to answer it and I was greeted with a very excited Quinn.

"Quinn? Why'd you knock you could have just used the—ah!" she stepped inside only to pick me up and twirl me around.

"I'm a resident! A real surgeon! Oh and I knocked because I couldn't find the key.. but I passed!" she yelled excitedly while spinning us.

I giggled. "Congratulations, Quinn! I'm so proud!" she stopped our twirling and looked up into my eyes before pulling me in for a kiss. My heart swelled and my body slid down hers as my feet touched the ground again. I smiled against her lips before pulling away.

"I'm so happy for you, Quinn." I looked at her and gave her my best smile

Her eyes sparkled and she brought my lips to hers again. Wow, eager are we? Our lips moved together in sync before I felt her tongue slide across my bottom lip. Happy to oblige, I parted my mouth and she caressed my tongue sweetly. I moaned softly before exploring her mouth as well. I could never get tired of the way she tastes. Like strawberries..

Our kissing came to a halt before a blushed and took a step back. "Sorry..." she mumbled, smiling shyly. I scoffed and swatted her butt, which only made her blush more.

"I'm certainly not complaining." I told her. I'm really not, if you know what I mean.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I heard Quinn blurt out, surprising me. She covered her mouth before saying, "Crap! Sorry Rach I just..I'm so excited and I really like you. I like you so much it's kind of freaking me out and I couldn't control my words and I'm a resident and today has been amazing and-" I watched in amusement as she rambled on, wringing her hands together. Quinn was usually so articulate and suave, I've never seen her like this. I felt butterflies in my stomach. She asked me to be her girlfriend..

I grabbed Quinn's hand. "Quinn."

"-and you're so awesome and gorgeous and I.."

"Quinnnnn." I tried again.

"-what the hell are you watching in there Rachel? Does that woman have a crack pipe lodged up her ass..?" I giggled. Must have left the TV on.

"Quinn!" I pulled her down to face me and kissed her, effectively shutting her up. She moaned into the kiss and pulled back slightly. "What was that for?" she breathed out huskily.

"Yes." I answered her question.

She arched an eyebrow at me. "Yes..?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend silly!"

She beamed and hugged me tight, cutting off my air supply. I banged on her back with my cast arm. "Quinn..I can't breathe properly.." I wheezed out.

She broke off our hug and grinned sheepishly. "Sorry Rach," she said as she straightened out my shirt. I grabbed her hand again and walked us over to the couch.

"When do you go back to work?" I frowned. Less time around Quinn does not sound fun at all.

Quinn looked down at her hands. "Tomorrow." Damn.

"But," she interjected. "My hours will be less insane so maybe I'll make it home for dinner. Well, maybe not..I have interns now. It comes with working at a prestigious hospital.." she bit her lip.

I laughed. "I'm overjoyed for you, Quinn. You love your job, you should be happy." I really was happy for her, regardless of the fact her job requires ridiculous work hours.

She brightened at that comment. "Thanks, Rachel." I smiled at her. "Will you text Santana and Brittany and see if they want to hang out? I'll ask Madison and Frank." I nodded and did as she said. Madison and Frank hit it off well and had been inseparable ever since that party a few days ago. Quinn had also told her about our dates. I was hesitant to tell Madison but she seemed trustworthy enough not to spill to the public about my sexuality.

I sent San the message.

You and B wanna come over? Quinn wants to celebrate (Probably with video games) she passed her big doctor exam thing. Oh and btw...she asked me to be her girlfriend!

I had to give her the good news. I'm sooooo ecstatic about Quinn! I'm so lucky too. How does a girl like me get a girl like Quinn Fabray? I shook my head at the thought. Don't question it, Berry. Just go with it. Don't screw it up like everything else.. My phone buzzed and I checked the message.

It's about time Q grew a pair. And yeah B and I will be there, thirty minutes. Tell Tubbers she's going to get her white ass beat. -S

I rolled my eyes at the text. This was going to be a long night.

Quinn walked back into the living room. "Madison and Frank will be here soon after she get's off work." I nodded. "Santana and Brittany will be here in about half an hour." Quinn smiled and turned her attention to the TV.

"Oh yeah! Rach, you never told me why you were watching a show where a woman had a crack pipe up her butt...You have something you want to tell me?" Quinn snickered and I threw a couch pillow at her.

"You were the one that left the TV on this channel! And the show wasn't just about the fucking crack pipe lady.." I grumbled. Now she thinks I'm a freak.

Quinn kept on laughing much to my dismay. I turned away from her and huffed, rubbing my temples. I'm not interested in foreign objects being lodged up asses..

I heard Quinn shift behind me and I assumed she got up because the couch moved. Curious as to where she was going I looked up and Quinn was hovering over me, her eyes dark. I swallowed, "Quinn?"

That's when Quinn pushed me back against the couch and straddled me. Holy shit this was hot.

"You're sexy when you're mad.." she trailed off to kiss and suck all over my neck. "Oh—God." I gasped.

I grabbed her hair with my hand and pulled her head back to mash our lips together. She moaned into my mouth and ran her hands up my torso, just barely touching below my breasts. Fucking tease she is. I slid my tongue against hers, exploring every inch of her mouth. Quinn began to suck on my tongue and she rolled her hips down to create delicious friction below my waist.

I was literally seeing stars because this felt fucking amazing, but I knew we couldn't..you know, just yet. "Quinn.." I breathed and she nipped at my bottom lip with her teeth. "Ah—jeez..Quinn! I can't.." she raked her fingernails down my torso and I nearly lost it. "Oh God please baby I don't have much self control.." I moaned.

Quinn stopped immediately and smirked. "Baby? What happened to Blondie?" she laughed, completely unfazed at the fact she was practically dry humping me.

I glared at her and tried to push her off of me. I was unsuccessful. "Quinn! Get off of me!"

"Why? You seemed to be enjoying my being on top of you just moments ago." she wiggled her hips and grinned cockily. She was going to be the death of me.

"Quinn I appreciate you're eager to further explore the boundaries of our relationship, but my right arm is encased in a very large, unattractive cast. So I can't be sexy and my right hand is the one I use for pleasuring if you know what I mean.." I rambled and Quinn blushed, getting off of me.

"You're always sexy, Rachel." she muttered and focused on the TV. Embarrassed, Quinn? Serves you right.

We continued to watch some medical show for a few minutes before I thought of a question.

"What's the weirdest medical problem someone had that you've seen at your work, Quinn?"

She eyed me skeptically. "Why do you want to know?"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm just curious, baby," I teased. She blushed and wore a thoughtful expression for a second.

"Well...I was working at the ER for the night. Everything was slow but then a screaming couple ran in and the man's jeans had blood stains covering the crotch area. He was very much in shock when I asked his girlfriend what had happened. She was pissed the moment I thought she was his girlfriend because she told me she had broken up with him hours before.." Okay...what does that have to do with anything, I wondered.

"Anyway turns out he had tried to sexually assault her. He was pissed that she dumped him and so he forced himself on her. Well turns out he had a um...penis piercing," Quinn's face flushed red as she said that and I laughed. "And out of self defense the girl got a hold of the piercing and uh, ripped it off with her teeth. So like the head of his penis was torn open.."

I stared at her incredulously before doubling over in laughter. I continued like this for a good minute. "Oh my God! That's epic!" I wheezed out, trying to get a hold on my laughter. Oh man. I want to meet this girl.

Quinn chuckled halfheartedly, "Yeah, I suppose it would be funny to you. I had to sew his penis back together. Disgusting." This new piece of information only made me laugh harder.

"Come to think of it...why did that woman bring him in? I would have just let him lay there so it would cause permanent damage to his manhood.." she tapped her chin thoughtfully. I distantly heard a knock on the door but was too busy laughing to pay any attention.

Quinn huffed and walked away to open the door. "It's not that funny, Rachel!"

"Did you tell her about the penis thing?" I recognized Madison's voice.

"...yes." Quinn muttered. Fuck I'm going to die laughing. But then, out of nowhere, something heavy landed on my stomach, hard.

"What the hell..?" I opened my eyes and was met with a once again, pissed off Luke.

"That better be the last time you throw your cat at me, Quinn Fabray!"

"Well them you need to stop laughing." she retorted.

"You guys are so weird." I heard Madison mutter.

I rolled my eyes a stroked Luke's fur, putting a stop to my laughter. "Where's Frank?" I asked.

"Oh he got a 911 call. Apartment fire." Oh yeah, Frank is a fireman. We nodded in understanding.

"Anyway," Madison continued, "Congratulations Blondie! You're a real doctor now!" she yelled excitedly, hugging my favorite blonde. I watched in amusement as Madison hugged the life out of Quinn. "We should celebrate by going out!"

That's when I interrupted them. "Oh no. Quinn is not getting drunk again. Not after what happened last week." I glared at them both.

Madison snickered and Quinn hung her head, ashamed, and came over to me only to kneel down in front of me. "I'm sorry I'm a bitchy drunk..." she mumbled. "A bitchy and horny drunk." she whispered that last part and I laughed, despite the memory of her bitchiness. Quinn batted her eyelashes at me and pouted. Oh that is so not fair. Don't give in, Don't give in.

Quinn sniffled as if she were about to cry. Ah fuck. I ruffled her hair, "It's okay, Quinn. You're such a child sometimes!" I grinned at her. She smirked and got up to go get a soda.

"Dude Rachel, you are whipped." Madison laughed at me.

"Yeah..."

"Santana you fucking camper! Get out of that spot and fight like a man!" Quinn shouted through a mouthful of chips. How attractive. I laughed at myself. Who am I kidding? I'd find Quinn attractive even if she grew a third foot.

"What are you laughing at, Hobbit?" Santana threw me a look. "As if you could do any better against Q."

"I've beaten Blondie before!" Madison proudly exclaimed.

"You're so full of it, Maddie." Quinn bit back.

"She's lying! I totally beat her. It was amazing. I actually beat her by a few kills." I watched in amusement as Quinn tried to defend her title as undefeated. My girlfriend is such a dork.

My girlfriend.

Yep I could get used to that. I looked over at Brittany and winked at her. We were both sitting on the couch, her legs resting on my lap. I couldn't play because of my arm and Britt wasn't a fan a video games unless it involved ducks or unicorns. San and Britt had arrived a few hours ago and we were all having a good time. I'm still so happy for Quinn. She deserves this promotion.

I sighed thinking back to Broadway, I miss it. Just one more freaking month. I wonder what Santana has in store for me..

"Alright guys, y'all have to go. I have work tomorrow." Quinn grinned excitedly as she turned off the Xbox. "Thanks for coming over! And thanks again for the stuffed duck, B." Yeah Brittany had brought a toy duck over as a congratulations gift to Quinn..

"You're welcome Q! Remember to feed him." Wtf.

We all said our goodbyes and everyone left.

"That was fun," Quinn said. I smiled at her in agreement but then yawned. I'm beat.

Quinn chuckled, "Time for bed! I have to leave at six..it's early I know." I nodded in understanding. I got up and walked down the hall to the guest room.

"Night Qui-"

"What do you think you're doing?" she interrupted.

"Um...going to sleep?" I tried to stifle a yawn. Quinn simply rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand.

"You sleep with me now." My heart fluttered and I smiled. Yay!

I settled down in her bed and Quinn muttered something about taking her contacts out and went into the bathroom. I laid back and stared at the ceiling. Over the past year my life has taken a shitty turn, but now maybe things were looking up thanks to a certain blonde. I can't believe a car crash led me to a relationship, and it only took two weeks. I snickered. It's a freaking fairy tale.

"What are you thinking about?" Quinn asked from beside me. When did she get there?

"Um..you." I replied, sheepishly.

I watched her face turn red and she responded. "I hope good things?"

I laughed. "Very good things." We laid there in silence for a few moments before she brought her fingertips to mine.

"Are you going to be okay while I'm at work?"

I smirked at her. "I think I can manage, Blondie."

She grinned before she brought my fingers to her face and studied them closely. "Your fingertips are calloused," she stated quietly.

"Uh, yeah. I play guitar sometimes. Picked it up in college." I bit my lip. What a strange thing to notice. Does she think it's gross?

Her eyes sparkled and she smiled. "You have to play for me sometime."

"Only if you sing along," I replied. She has an amazing voice..

Quinn laughed and she turned off the lamp. "Night, Rach."

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Oh my god, what is that infernal beeping sound!" I groaned and pried my sleepy eyes open, and noticed it was the damn clock. Something heavy was sprawled across my torso and I immediately recognized the mop of blonde hair.

"QUINN. GET UP."

She shot up off of me and rubbed her eyes. "Why are you screaming Rachel?" She said as she yawned.

I cursed under my breath and pulled a pillow over my head. "Your damn alarm is going off. Go to work." I said with a muffled voice.

"Oh well I'm going to miss you too, baby." Quinn muttered sarcastically.

I threw the pillow to the side and looked at her through one eye. "Be safe. Save lives. I'll miss you. Bye." I shot at her and turned over to resume sleeping.

I heard her laugh and she pressed her lips to my cheek and she walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her.

I grinned to myself. Now more sleep.

Good heavens, Why am I so fucking short? I was currently trying to reach a glass because I was so damn thirsty, but yeah. Being vertically challenged and all, I settled for turning the faucet on and drinking from it. Good thing Quinn isn't here to see me act so slovenly. I looked over at the clock and it was 10 PM. She should be home soon, I thought to myself.

It's like she heard could hear my thoughts and walked right into the apartment and collapsed on the couch. "I'm soooooo exhausted." she whined.

I giggled and walked over to her. "Long day, Blondie?"

She glared at me playfully. "The interns I have, are idiots. My day was great, just long. My first patient is seven. Her name is Camie, she has bad kidneys and is waiting for a transplant, she's such a sweet little girl.." Quinn trailed off and bit her lip. By the look in Quinn's eyes the little girl might lose the big fight..

To distract Quinn, I asked her another question. "How's it feel being a resident?"

"It's amazing, Rach," she whispered.

"I'm glad for you, then." I leaned in to kiss her and she kissed me back softly. "Can we go to bed now?"
