A/N: EPILOGUE! Thank you guys for sticking with me through this story. This story was all about Quinndependence. (I ship that so hard.) I want to thank all of you guys for your feed back and let you know that I have a Finn and Rachel story in the works called And the World Stood Still (it is NOT a Finchel story). I'm hope that you guys enjoyed Don't Forget Me. As always, REVIEWS = LOVE!

Quinn Fabray. Alone. Happy. It has been five months since the horror show in the choir room at William McKinley. Quinn was back in L.A. and had very little contact with anyone.

"Hello?" the voice said through the phone.

"Hi." Quinn said and paused. "It's Quinn." the voice didn't say anything. "I just wanted to see if we could get together. I know we both live in L.A. so I just thought..."

"Where?" the voice interrupted.

"The Beverly Hills Hotels. Tomorrow at 11:30am." Quinn said waiting for an answer.

"Ok. Bye." the voice said quickly before the click.

Quinn sat poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel waiting for her party. She couldn't remember the last time she was this nervous, or if she had ever been this nervous. She peered around trying to calm herself down. Quinn looked toward the entrance and saw the waiter bringing her party to the table.

"Hello Mercedes." Quinn said noticing the slight bump at Mercedes stomach.

"Quinn." Mercedes said taking a seat across from the blonde.

"Thank you so much for meeting me." Quinn said with a small smile. "I know that the last time we saw each other, it was...um eventful."

"Quinn, you do understand why I was mad?" Mercedes said, picking up her glass of water. Quinn's eyes were drawn to the ring that she had had helped Sam pick out. She smiled to herself seeing it glisten on her friends hand.

"That song wasn't meant to hurt you. I swear. It was all very true. I'm not going to lie to you." Quinn said taking a deep breath before continuing. "I admit that I went back to Lima to get Sam." Mercedes cleared her throat. "I know, that was bitchy of me. I was only concerned with what I thought would make me happy. That was wrong. I promise you that I'm sorry."

Mercedes was silent for a moment. She looked Quinn in the eye. She could see that Quinn was being serious. She had forgiven her hours after the horror show, but she wasn't going to be the one to make the first move. Mercedes studied Quinn's face and suddenly broke in to a smile.

"It took Mike and Finn to keep Santana in the choir room after you left." Mercedes said with a small laugh. "She was literally going to kill you."

"I know." Quinn said smiling.

"Quinn, I was furious with you. I know that after Beth was born, you went through a lot, but you acted as if no one was there for you anymore. Like I wasn't there for you anymore." Mercedes began in a soft voice. "That hurt like you wouldn't believe. We were sisters and you turned your back on me. Even when no one else could, I could see the change in you. I thought that when we when we went to Nationals that me and you would bond again, but that never happened."

"Because I knew."

"Knew?"

"I knew about you and Sam." Quinn answered.

"How?" Mercedes questioned.

" I knew he was happy. I could tell. With everything he was going through at the time, he was all smiles while we were in New York." Quinn answered.

"Nationals? We were just trying to just see how things would would out between us at that point." Mercedes started. "Prom was a really special night." Mercedes said smiling to herself.

" You guys looked so amazing at our junior prom. I had never seen either of you as happy as you were with each other. And then at Nationals, when he ran across the stage to hug you, I was, admittedly jealous and I hated you." Quinn said.

"You hated me? Why?"
"Mercedes, you were and are everything that I'm not. Kind, caring, generous, compassionate..." Quinn paused and looked down at her plate. "Faithful. I know the reasons I lost Finn, the reasons I lost Sam. It was my doing."

"Quinn, you are a wonderful person. You just need to take a step back and look at your life and look at your choices and as our girl Tina said so many years ago, be the change you want to see in the world." Mercedes said grabbing her hand.

"I know. I've done that. I've been working on me since I left McKinley that day. I think that I've finally found my Quinndepence." Quinn said with a chuckle.

"I'm really happy for you, Quinn." Mercedes said smiling. The pair sat in silence for a moment.

"So, are you going to tell me about that baby bump?" Quinn asked, squeezing her friend's hand.

"Well, in four months, beautiful baby Delia Quinn Evans will be here." Mercedes said.

"Delia Quinn?" Quinn said, her eyes filling to the brim with tears.

"Yeah, after my mom." Mercedes said rubbing her belly. "And my sister." Quinn could hold the tears back any longer. She rose from her chair and walked around the table and embraced Mercedes tightly.

"I love you Mercedes." Quinn whispered.

"I love you too." Mercedes said returning her sister's embrace.
