Author Note: Last present day chapter. Do we think Mrs Fabray has changed? Will she be accepting of our girls? Kudos if you know where the chapter title comes from.
A week later.
"Quinn will you please stop pacing? You're making me even more nervous" Rachel said as she played with the hem of her shirt.
"I'm sorry it's just, Rach it's my mom, what if she's still drinking?"
"Baby they've said she's well enough to come home, that mean's she's doing good" the brunette said soothingly.
"What if she takes him back?"
"Quinn-"
"What if she doesn't love me anymore?" the blonde whispered unable to stop the tears that flowed freely over her cheeks.
Rachel swallowed her own tears and engulfed her girlfriend in a tight hug.
"No matter what happens, no matter what she says, you're still her babygirl and whether she's calling you a name or throwing you out she still loves you regardless" she told her as she wiped at her girlfriend's eyes.
"What do we do if she throws me out?" Quinn asked in a small voice.
Rachel smiled, "then I'll just have to get used to you stealing the covers"
"I do not hog the covers!"
"You do, sweetie, but it's okay because I love you"
"Quinnie!" Judy Fabray greeted as she burst into the living room causing the girls to jump ever so slightly.
"Mom" Quinn smiled as her mother pulled her into a hug.
"It's so good to be home, I've missed you so much darling and, ooh this is the small girl with the big voice am I right?" she said smiling as she turned to Rachel offering her a hug of her own.
The brunette gladly accepted, "thank you Mrs Fabray, I'm so glad you're doing better"
"Please, Rachel? Call me Judy"
"Okay" the girl smiled.
They gathered in the kitchen as Judy insisted making them afternoon tea.
"So when did you two become good friends?" Judy asked as they settled around the table.
"A few weeks ago, we decided to throw a joint birthday party for Rachel and Brittany and we were paired together for a duet in Glee" Quinn explained trying to not spring the pairing on her unsuspecting mother, or so she thought.
I just hope she forgives me.
"Forgive me for coming right out and saying it, but you two are not subtle"
The girls froze looking at each other wide eyed and nervous.
Judy laughed at their expressions.
"Girls, it's perfectly alright. While I'm not going to say I understand, it's easy to see that you two are extremely drawn to each other, I endured Russell's narrow mindedness for way too long and I'm just sorry you two didn't fall together sooner. I always knew something was up" she paused giving the girls time to catch up.
"When we used to get called about Quinn's behaviour it was always somehow related to an incident involving Rachel Berry, and then when I saw the way you two glanced at each other during those musical numbers you do so well, I just knew that somewhere down the line we'd be having a conversation similar to this, and now here we are. You two don't hide your hand holding very well"
"Thank you so much for understanding, we were both so nervous because we want your blessing on our relationship, I promise that I love your daughter dearly and plan on doing everything I can to keep her happy" Rachel beamed, Judy returned the smile before looking to her daughter.
"She's the one" Quinn mouthed happily.
That evening the Berry men went over to meet Judy and discuss their daughters.
"We already have an open door policy in our house"
"Then it will be the same here, and they can only go on dates once they've done all their homework"
"Study night two nights a week at either home with parental supervision"
The girls groaned in disappointment as their parents continued to cover the ground rules.
"How are we going to have sex? It's only been two days and I'm antsy already" Rachel hissed.
Quinn couldn't help but giggle, "You're such an animal"
"Like you don't miss it" the brunette smirked knowingly.
"We'll just have to be sneaky"
"Sweetie, neither one of us can be quiet enough"
"Open door policy on your soundproof room sucks!"
"At least we have our vacation to look forward to"
Both girls grinned at the thought of the two week vacation they and Brittana had planned in a couple of months.
Sun, sex and sand. To say the four were psyched was an understatement.
"Girls you can stop listening at the door and come back in now" David called with a slight chuckle.
Rachel and Quinn wandered back in sheepishly.
"We're just trying to be responsible parents by setting guidelines" Judy explained.
You're being mean.
"We don't want to treat you girls any differently just because you're both of the same gender" Jonathan said patting their hands.
Completely unfair and unreasonable.
"We've agreed on just a few rules because we don't want you two missing out" David added.
You're imposing a sex ban! Buzzkill.
The girls nodded meekly, signalling their (almost non existent) agreement.
"We understand" they chorused even managing slight smiles.
"Quinn you look like we've just told you we're amputating a limb" Judy said unable to stop the chuckle that escaped her at her daughter's expression.
"Sorry, mom, it's just-"
"We're still in shock that this is all working out so perfectly" Rachel finished with a dazzling smile, squeezing her girlfriend's hand slightly.
"Well you two are still getting used to being in a relationship, but this is definitely a start" David smiled.
"The joining of two families" Jonathan nodded.
"The start of something different and beautiful" Judy smiled kindly at her daughter.
The girls looked to each other smiling so much they'd probably have jaw ache by morning.
"The start of something new"
