Nothing Is Lost Chapter 10

Quinn's breaths were shallow as she gripped tightly onto the steering wheel. Nerves caused fluttering in her extremities until a hand gripped her own.

"It's going to be okay baby" Rachel said resting her hand on her thigh. Quinn nodded nervously. Santana and Brittany went to meet up with their parents for brunch promising to meet back at the house.

"Thank you for coming with me Rach" she whispered

"I wouldn't be anywhere else Quinn" she replied opening the car door.

Quinn followed suit walking up the stairs she swore she would never take again. Standing outside the door of the house she promised herself she would never come to again.

"1..2..3" she muttered nothing happened

"1..2..3" nothing again. She looked at Rachel who held her hand and pressed the button.

"Whatever happens I'm here" Rachel said softly.

The door opened and the person standing there stood shocked.

"Quinnie"

"Hello mother" Quinn's voice shook as she tried to even her breathing out. Rachel squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"Hello Rachel, nice to see you. I'm sorry to hear about your dad he was a nice man" she said motioning them into the house.

Quinn watched how broken her mother looked as they walked into the living room. Judy's appearance resembled one of someone who lived 3 lifetimes. The wrinkles were set in place, each telling a horrid tale of the life she led. She was much smaller than Quinn remembered and moved way slower.

What could have happened to her in those years she was gone that led her down this path?

"You know I knew you two would be back, how could you not with Leroy Berry sick and all but I never once expected you to come visit me" she said taking a seat in the chair she often occupied throughout snippets of Quinn's childhood.

"How have you been?" Quinn asked genuinely concerned for the woman's well being

"Neither here nor there. What about you two? I know most of Rachel's career but what about you Quinn? Can I get you two anything?" she added. Both girls shook their heads.

"Okay so Quinnie what do you do now?" Judy asked.

"I'm a book editor"

Judy's face beamed with unspoken pride as she watched the daughter she helped break sit before her. She couldn't help but admire the woman she became.

"I'm proud of you Quinn, you too Rachel it's hard enough being a woman in this world. You too have overcome so much in your lives and it's good to see such successes rise from the ashes of mistakes"

"Thank you Judy" Rachel replied not really sure what else to say.

"What about-"

"Russell?" Judy asked. Quinn nodded.

"He's at work right now which is probably best considering..." she said

"Considering his dyke of a daughter came home to bury her fiancé's father and is now sitting on his couch you mean?"

Judy sat dumb struck unsure of what to say. "Quinn I-"

Quinn shook her head standing "No it's okay mother, it's what you were thinking. We'll go though but tell me one thing. How could you let him back into your life after everything he did to you? Don't pity me or my sexual orientation when you think about life think about the many times you did things no man should ever ask much less force his WIFE or any woman for that matter to do. Goodbye mother" Quinn said walking out the living room to the front door.

Rachel was about to follow suit when Judy stopped her. "Rachel hold on a second I want to give you something" the woman's eyes pleaded with her to stop. Rachel did as asked watching Judy walk to a room returning with a box.

She handed the box to Rachel "Give this to her for me please. I thought she would like to have them. I didn't read them and Russell doesn't know anything about them"

"She really is a great woman you know. She's just went through too much here. There's too much history and being back is bringing memories she wish she never had" Rachel said turning away from the woman.

"Keep taking care of her" Judy said

"She's my life" Rachel said simply closing the door behind her.

The box wasn't heavy so she easily carried it to the car. She spotted Quinn sitting in the driver's seat with her head against the wheel. She opened the back door putting the box inside.

She got into the car sitting next to Quinn. "I hate this house" she said

"I know" Rachel replied

Quinn looked up at her and without saying anything she connected their lips. "Thank you for coming with me"

"Anything for you Quinn"

It was pretty emotional for Quinn.
