Hey Guys, Good Morning or Good Evening depending on which place pf the earth i'm finding you! Hope you like this chapter! It's a good one and stay tuned because some really hot chapters are about to come!

As soon as Rachel got in her room, and while she was ready to undress and put on her pajamas, the phone rang.

"Rachel, can you come to my room for a second please? I need you" Shelby sounded a bit frustrated or worried, Rachel couldn't distinguish.

"Yeah sure, I'll be there in a second" Luckily Shelby's room was on the same floor as Rachel's so she didn't have to go through half of the hotel. She knocked on the door and Shelby opened.

"Rach, is there anything you want to tell me?" Rachel thought that there was no way Shelby knew about the kiss so she acted ignorant. "Umm I think not"

Shelby looked at her with a questioning look. "I saw that kiss, by accident of course, but I saw it"

Rachel blushed immediately "It wasn't my fault, I swear, he just kissed me" She started sobbing "I don't want Jesse to know, please don't tell him"

"Baby I know it wasn't your fault, but if you have any feelings for Finn you have to clear everything out, and with yourself, when you love someone you have to give 100% to it" Shelby gave Rachel the warmest hug she could "I think you should stay in my room tonight so we can have some mother-daughter quality time" Rachel's face lid up "I'd love to"

"So tell me everything about Finn and Jesse and everyone else." Rachel told her everything, how she dated Finn twice but they broke up, about Jesse getting in her life, Puck in the intermissions, and she got advice - the best she could - from Shelby.

"I have one last thing to tell you" Shelby seemed very serious "If you want to tell Jesse about this kiss don't tell him before the competition, you'll crush him and he'll start fighting with Finn and that means nothing but trouble, and it won't be good for the dynamic of the team"

Shelby was right, and of course Rachel knew what she was doing but something sounded out of place

"You are right, anyway I would wait until we go back to Ohio to tell him but are you sure we are talking for the same Jesse? I mean last year when he was breaking up with me, and he made an omelette on my forehead he didn't seem crashed at all" She;by made a weird, yet melodic laugh

"Haha, that's what you think, it seems to me that you don't know the whole story. Jesse never had the intention to break up with you, and his transfer to McKinley was real, I mean he was in love with you. Madly. But Jesse had an offer from UCLA and a condition in the offer was that he should place at the Nationals or else he had to find another university, so he returned to Carmel but Vocal Adrenaline wouldn't accept him back in the team, so they made him come to you and egg you in order to take him back in the team. After that Jesse was barely on this planet, he was always distracted, he didn't talk much, he was no longer Jesse, the leader of VA. And out of the blue, it must have been three days before Regionals, he came and talked to me, and he was crying like a little child, and I made him realise many things, thus the reunion of you two. Jesse is a really good kid, I've known him for many years and what he did last year was something I would never expect from him"

Rachel without saying a word, she hugged She;by as tight as she could, showing her her love, and a kiss

"Oh baby, I love you so much, why did I ever give you away?" Shelby was the one sobbing now. She dried her tears and she continued "Anyway Rach, you just got to know, Jesse, is a very strong character, but when it comes to taking decisions and having to choose one of two things he loves, he's not the best, so take care of him, and he'll take care of you. Come on sleep now, because tomorrow is a huge day"

That was the last thing Shelby said and they were both asleep in seconds.

The next morning came early and the first to wake up was Beth, so Rachel woke up after her crying and she took care of her, then woke up Shelby, got ready and stayed for awhile in the room chatting.

"Mom, can I ask you something?" Everytime Shelby heard the word "mom" from Rachel's lips it was hard not to be excited "Yeah baby sure, anything"

"I was thinking last night, I've never had a mom, and then I found you again, and our relationship, at least from my point of view, is great, I mean many daughters and mothers would be jealous of the relationship we have, so I was wondering... Can I be your daughter again? I mean can I live with you?" Shelby couldn't believe her ears, she waited for almost two decades to hear this from Rachel's mouth, she was so moved she started crying

"Oh my God, baby are you sure about this, I mean you lived your whole life with your dads, and how will they react?" Shelby was practically kneeling in front of Rachel holding her by her shoulders.

"Well, I haven't figured everything out yet, but what I know is that I want to live with you, I have to have a mother in my life, and I love you so much..." Rachel gave Shelby a big kiss and she grabbed Beth from her crib because she started crying.

Meanwhile, Jesse was looking for Rachel in her room but when he knocked on the door Tina and Mercedes opened and told him that Rachel got late in her room and as soon as she got in someone called her and she left again.

The worst things were passing through Jesse's mind, but he thought of Shelby, it was the next place Rachel could be, but as he was walking to Shelby's room he met with Finn on the way. When Finn saw him he didn't lose a minute to mock him "Why are you in a hurry St. Douche? Lost something?" Jesse stopped, and turned his face to Finn with a quite defensive look "I lost Rachel you idiot, do you know anything about it?" and soon his fist was in front of Finn's face, "Dude leave me alone, it was just a kiss, I'm sorry", Jesse lowered his hand, and he wasn't sure about the last thing he heard, everything seemed to be in slow motion now "What did you say?" This time he couldn't hold his fist back "What did you do with Rachel you asshole?" Luckily, for Finn at least, Shelby and Rachel were going to the elevator at that moment.

"Whoa, Whoa, you two, cut it out, what happened here?" Shelby was furious "In my room, both of you, NOW, and you Rachel"

"What happened?" No one was talking so Shelby was getting mad "Start talking or I'll make sure none of you sings today at the competition, you are not leaving this room unless you solve your issues" Shelby's look was so threatening, she meant everything she said. Finn finally broke the silence.

"I kissed Rachel, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry dude, I was tipsy and when I drink I get emotional, I don't know what possessed me at that moment, I'm sorry. I would never steal someone else's girl, even if its you" Shelby and Rachel gave him a look. They knew he wasn't drunk but he was actually trying to make up for what he had done.

"Jesse, do you want to say anything?"

"No I don't, at least not now, but after the competition, we'll have a man to man talk" Shelby had to keep an eye on the two, but she knew that when Jesse says something he means it.

"Okay, now get out, go get your outfits, and get a breakfast, we are leaving for the competition after breakfast"

Jesse and Finn went to their rooms and Rachel with Shelby and Beth got in the elevator to go downstairs to the breakfast room.

"He wasn't drunk wasn't he?" Shelby laughed but Rachel was worried "No he wasn't, but it looks like he regretted what he did, and he's actually trying to be friends with Jesse, that's the weird part, anyway we'll wait and see"
