I do not own anything.
Quinn POV
"And what did she want?" My boyfriend asked, after a few minutes of silence.
"Well, uh, she wanted a few things. I guess I'll start with the fact that she wants Quinn and myself to be a part of Beth's life. As in like, as her second parents or something like that."
I was stunned. Was he serious? Apparently, Santana thought the same thing.
"Puckerman, if this is some kind of plot to gain attention, I swear I'll..."
"It's not, okay?" he cut Santana off. "Why would I lie about something like this?"
"Puck, it's just that Quinn's got a lot on her plate right now... and honestly? Why wouldn't you?" Finn asked him.
"Finn!" I said. "Look Puck, we believe you."
"At least, Quinn does." Rachel mumbled, Brittany, Santana and Finn nodded along. I gave them a look.
"WE all believe you, and tell Shelby I'd be honored to be a part of Beth's life. But..." I hesitated.
"It's not the right time. Got it." He said.
"No Puck, it's really important. I wish I could tell you. I would, but not now. I'm sorry. If you want, I could talk to Shelby myself. Just give me her number and I'll schedule something with her at my own time."
He nodded then turned to look at Rachel.
"Well, Rach, I was going to tell you this at a different time, but since you're here, might as well tell you."
"What is it, Noah?"
"Shelby wanted me to give you her number as well. She said you were welcome anytime. She figured you'd decline the offer, but I told her I'd do something about it."
"So now she wants to get to know me?"
"I guess, I mean, maybe after she realized how Beth needs us to be part of her life, she realized that you needed a mom too. Even if it was this late."
Rachel kept quiet for a while before suddenly standing up.
"Finn, Quinn, Thank You for letting us intrude in your time alone,and thank you for the wonderful snack too. I think I should go now..." She said, tearing up a little.
"You okay, midget?" Santana asked.
"Yes,I am. Thank You Santana. While I do hate the fact that you just called me midget, I appreciate your concern very much. I just... have to go."
"You walking, Berry?" Puck asked, and Rachel nodded. "Lemme give you a ride home. It's the least I can do, after all, I brought the bad news."
"It's not bad news at all, Noah. I really am just shaken by what I found out, and I'll think about it. As for the ride, I don't want you to leave when you don't want to."
"S'okay. I was leaving anyway. My mom needs me to babysit. Let's go Rach. Later ladies." He said, looking at each one of us, including Finn.
Santana and Brittany stayed until after Burt and Carole arrived home. They said their goodbyes almost immediately, Santana giving me the look that said we had to ask about Thursday now. I just nodded.
"Quinn, are you staying for dinner sweetheart?"
"I'd love to, Carole. Thank You!" I said with a smile. She went into the kitchen to start dinner, when Finn pulled me to the kitchen to follow her.
"Hey mom? Quinn and I would like to talk to you about something."
"Your're not pregnant again, are you?" She asked me. "Or are you planning on getting married?" She asked Finn.
"No to both, mom." Finn chuckled, putting his arm around me.
"I just wanted to tell you, and kinda ask you something Carole." I said.
"What is it dear?" She asked me, giving me a small smile, as she sliced the meat that she was going to cook for dinner.
"Well, I'm not sure if Finn told you this, but during middle school, before we moved to Lima,I was constantly bullied because of my appearance and weight and I had a nose job and dyed my hair blonde in order to change how I looked like." I said, as I felt Finn squeeze my shoulder. "I uh.. also changed my name. They knew me as Lucy. Quinn was my second name."
Carole nodded, telling me that more or less, she knew about this truth. I cleared my throat before I continued speaking.
"So er, I wanted to go back to Belleville and uh, face my past. I think it's the only way to let it go."
"If that's what you want..." Carole said, obviously wondering where I was going with this.
"And uh, I wanted to go there on Thursday... And I am wondering if I can bring Finn with me, if that's alright?" I said.
"Of course it is. I'm sure you'll need Finn with you."
I smiled and went to hug her.
"Thank You."
Dinner was pretty normal and uneventful. An hour or so after dinner, Finn decided it was time to bring me home. I bid Burt, Carole and Kurt goodbye and left the Hudson-Hummel house with Finn.
Once we arrived at my house, there was an unfamiliar car at the driveway. I gave Finn a look and raised my eyebrow. He shrugged, before turning the car off and getting me from my side. He lead me towards the house and as I opened the door, I was greeted by an
"Aunty Quinnieeeeee!"
HELLO. I AM BACK. HAHA. Once again, I am sorry for the delay. I blame school. But yeah, here it is! Please review! :)
