LIMA POLICE STATION, QUINN'S HOLDING CELL...

Quinn sighed to herself. She was in a cell alone and has been for 41 minutes now. She hasn't seen or heard from anyone. Leroy was in a separate cell obviously and she had no clue were Russell was. She was in such a fit of rage when she saw her sister bleeding and Russell putting his hands on her father in law that she just lost it on him. She doesn't even remember the police hand cuffing her or the trip to the station. It took her a little bit of time to calm down before she really realized she was in a cell. She had never felt such hatred. Well, that's a lie. She hates zombies and Dennis Scott with equal amount hatred but that's neither here nor there. Lately, her anger has been building. Sue had suggested that it could be because they were getting closer to the apocalypse happening. The years are flying by and they weren't done with everything they had to do, yet.

Quinn was now worried because she really hopes she didn't actually kill her father because than she'd be locked up for life and be trapped in a cell when the apocalypse happened.

POLICE STATION FRONT DESK..

Rachel has been upset many times in her young life and on many occasions blew her gasket but this officer was about to make her fly off the handle. Her father Hiram had gotten the call 20 minutes ago. Her dad Leroy had been arrested which shocked the hell out of them both especially for an altercation. Her dad was a peaceful man and never argued but what really shocked them was hearing that not only did he get arrested for fighting with Quinn's dad but that he also got arrested with Quinn for the both of them beating him up. Her father was being released but was told he would be going to court in a matter of weeks. Rachel wanted to see Quinn but the officer refused. Any information was shot down because she wasn't family.

"This is ridiculous! You can't even assure me that she's alright! She could be hurt! Her father is huge compared to her!" Rachel fired off, all her talking was really making her face hurt because she still had a sinus infection. Hiram nodded right along with her. The two Diva's were beyond worried.

"Trust me, kid. You have nothing to worry about." The officer replied with a chuckle. Rachel had no clue that Quinn actually beat the living shit out of Russell and that the man was still out cold in a hospital bed, under 24 hour observation. It was that bad.

"How am I suppose to take your word for it! I don't even know you!" Rachel fired back. Before the officer could reply. Leroy was being escorted by an officer from a back doorway. Hiram gasp as did Rachel. Leroy had a swollen eye but it wasn't shut and a busted lip. His knuckles were scraped and swollen from obvisouly punching someone and his clothes were slightly rip[ed and there were small stains of blood here and there on his shirt. To anyone else he didn't look that bad but to Hiram and Rachel he looked like he had been hit by a train. So, you could imagine they were both close to fainting upon seeing him.

"DEAR MOSES! OH HONEY, WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU!" Hiram cried out dramatically.

"OH GOODNESS! DAD ARE YOU OKAY?!" Rachel said simultaneously.

The two Diva's ran over when he was released into their custody. They began scouring him all over to check for anymore injuries. Leroy just smiled at the love and attention. The officer at the desk rolled his eyes at their dramatics.

"Lee, how did all this happen?" Hiram questioned immediately.

"Give me a moment, love. I'd like to ask this officer a few questions." Leroy said. Hiram nodded and Rachel watched on.

"Excuse me? But has Quinn Fabray been released?"

"I can't give out that information, sir."

Leroy nodded. "Hiram, may I use your cell phone, please?"

Hiram handed it over immediately. Leroy dialed the number he memorized. It took two rings. "Hello?"

"Frannie, it's Leroy."

"Oh my god, Leroy, are you ok?"

"I'm alright. Listen I'm at the police station. Have you called your mother?"

"Yes, I have. She was in Dayton visiting my grandma. She's on her way as we speak."

"How long ago did you call?"

"Just after they cleaned me up. So about 20 or so minutes ago. Is Quinn ok?"

"I don't know they won't give us any information."

"Ok well I was on my way, anyway. I'll see you in a few."

"See you soon." Leroy hung up and turned to Hiram and Rachel. "Quinn's sister Frannie's on her way. Hopefully we'll have some news on her, then." Hiram and Rachel sighed in relief.

It was now almost 3 am and the trio sat on the bench and waited. It was 13 minutes later when Frannie entered the police station. The 3 Berries stood up to welcome her but Hiram and Leroy froze. There walking in with Frannie was Shelby Corcoran. The moment the woman saw them she froze as well but her attention wasn't on Hiram and Leroy. No, It was on Rachel..

Frannie hadn't noticed that Shelby stopped in her tracks. She had rushed to the desk and Hadn't noticed the Berries, yet either. Rachel was frozen in place but not because she knew who Shelby was but because she was memorized by how identical they were. Rachel was snapped from her staring when her daddy Hiram whispered in shock. "Shelby?.."

Shelby swallowed thickly. She had always dreamt of this moment. She has spoken to Frannie countless times about Rachel. She had almost fainted on the spot the first time she had laid eyes on the brunette. It was at sectionals sophomore year. At first she's ashamed to say that she made a desperate stupid mistake sending Jesse to befriend Rachel. She had found out through the grape vine that he had decided to take it upon himself to court her daughter, only to egg her in the parking lot of Mckinely. To say Shelby was pissed was an understatement. She took Jesse off as her head liner as punishment. She backed off and decided not to pursue it any longer and just watch her beautiful daughter shine from a far. Frannie had flipped when she found out what Shelby had done. Citing that Leroy Berry had been very kind to her when she first started at the hospital and to breach a contract that Shelby signed was legal suicide and possibly stiring up a whirlwind of emotions in Rachel that subsequently cause a blow out in the Berry home was selfish and inconsiderate.

What no one knew is that Quinn had explain to Leroy everything that happened the first time around. That Rachel had regrets about Shelby and Shelby had regrets about Rachel. That Quinn didn't find out about until she was a junior in college and ran into Shelby when Quinn had come to Lima for the holidays. Shelby cried on her shoulder. Quinn told Leroy that one of Rachel's wishes if she ever got to come back in time was to do things differently with Shelby because that is the only mother she had and she had now realized that life was too short not to appreciate what you have.

After that conversation Leroy went straight to Hiram and told him he thinks it's important to find Shelby so that Rachel would have a female figure in her life and that she deserves to know where she comes from and who her mother is. It started as a conversation that turned into an argument with Hiram blowing a gasket and Leroy listening to Hiram. only for Hiram to turn into a ball of emotional insecurity. Citing that, what if Rachel doesn't need him anymore after all Shelby's a woman. He may be femininent but he was still a man. Leroy squashed it immediately reassuring him that neither he or Hiram would ever lose their daughters love. Needless to say they agreed that Rachel deserved the chance to get to know her mother. Leroy had to pretend he had no idea where she was because Quinn assured him Shelby would be around because she'd make sure of it and boy did she make sure of it.

"I.." Shelby tried to but couldn't speak. She had never been this close to Rachel before.

Leroy was smiling broadly as he stepped forward and walked up to Shelby.

"It is so good to see you, Shelby." Leroy said and pulled the unsuspecting woman into a hug, that pulled her from her catatonic state. Shelby smiled a little still confused as to why he was being so open. She assumed he wouldn't want Rachel to know who she was. Before she knew it she had arms full of Hiram. His hug wasn't as tight and loving but it was courteous and welcoming.

"May I speak to you outside for a moment?" Hiram said. Taking the reins. Leroy had coached him several times on what to say if he ever came across her. The one person Hiram always felt inferior to because she carried their daughter. Shelby swallowed thickly with saddened eyes. This was it. He was going to ask her to leave before Rachel started asking questions. Leroy smiled at the two encouragingly. Shelby took one finally glance at her daughter before being escorted out.

Leroy turned toward a curiously confused Rachel and took a deep breath. He walked over to her with a warm smile and sat down as she followed suit. He adjusted himself to angle his body towards her.

"Dad? Who was that women?"

Leroy took her hands and smiled broadly. "That woman, honey. Is your birth mother.." Leroy replied sweetly. Rachel's eyes bulged out their sockets and she stared at him with her mouth slightly agape.

Shelby and Hiram..

Shelby halted in her tracks and turned to Hiram surprising him. "I know what your going to say and I honestly had no clue she would be here. I was just here to support Frannie. I had no intention of causing any trouble. I'm leaving now, ok." Shelby spoke quickly than turn to walk away, only to be stopped by Hiram's hand gently grabbing her elbow. She turned to him in surprise.

"I never said anything about you not being around Rachel." Hiram said sincerely. Shelby's eyes widened and shined at the words.

"However;" Leroy had informed Hiram to be sure to ask Shelby if she was sure about being in Rachel's life as a mother. That Rachel wasn't a baby, she was a grown teenager. Quinn had been very clear about that specifically. "I need you to understand that Rachel is a teenager. You'd be coming into her life where their isn't room for mistakes because though she's a teenager, you could cause permanent damage by abandoning her when you realize she's not a baby. She's fragile when it comes to things of this nature. I'm sure especially when it comes to you. I want Rachel to have everything she wants and needs including you but I will not allow you to be invited into this family if you are not serious about being her actual mother because once she knows who you are that's exactly what she'll want from you. Do understand where Leroy and I are coming from? Because we have already talked about you in length and have agreed to allow it to happen. I don't expect an answer now but-"

"I want to!" Shelby cut in desparately. She had been slowly unraveling at the mere idea of getting to be apart of her daughters life. After her argument with Frannie and all that the blonde pointed out had opened Shelby's eyes to the true questions. Was she ready to be a mother? Was she ready to be a mother to a grown teenager? Was she ready to accept that she had missed so much of her daughters life? The answer was yes because though before when she first backed off she had a fleeting thought that Rachel didn't need her anymore. She was already grown but Frannie had squashed that thought when she said that a child will always need their mother in every stage in their life. That a mother's love is more than changing diapers and experiencing a baby's first steps and she knows this because she herself needs her mother everyday and her sister lives through hell even now with her mother always there to console her after her father does something to them. Frannie had cried and told her she didn't want to speak to her anymore and maybe they should take a break. They had broken up for 4 horrible months. That was a year and half ago and she's happy to report that they are back together and happy as ever. Thanks to the woman she loves. She grew up a little more as a person, a woman and a mother.

"Are you sure you don't need more time to think about this?" Hiram ask wearily.

"No. I'm more than ready to be a mother to my daughter. I guess the question i'm asking is when will I be able to meet her?" Shelby replied. Hiram searched her eyes for a few minutes before feeling completely reassured that she was sincere.

"Ok. Well then how about you take my number and address. You can stop by sometime this week whenever is best for you and that will give us time to prepare Rachel." Hiram said with a smile.

"That sounds perfect!" Shelby said tearfully happy. The two exchanged numbers and hugged before letting the other go.

"Thank you for this chance. Hiram."

"Don't thank me. You can thank my incredibly wonderful husband. It was he who suggested that it was time for Rachel to meet you."

"Well, I thank both of you for allowing it. Well, I should get going.."

"Listen, you don't have to leave. I'm sure Frannie will need you and we already have Leroy. So, we'll head home and you can stay with Frannie for support."

"Alright, I appreciate that." The two began walking back inside the precinct.

Leroy did his best to give Rachel time. The moment she heard Shelby was her mother, she fell silent and was lost in her thoughts. Upon hearing the front doors open he looked up and sighed in relief. They looked completely happy. He had thought that Shelby and Hiram were having it out, out there with how long they took. Shelby smiled at him and nodded in his direction before her eyes cast to Rachel and he felt her yearing from where he sat. She was ready. Shelby dragged her eyes away and headed straight for the front desk in search of Frannie. Hiram walked up to the two. He gave Leroy a question look. Leroy mouthe 'Give her some time.' Hiram nodded his head toward the door. Leroy placed his hand on Rachel's shoulder causing her to jump in surprise.

"Come on, honey. It's time to go home." Leroy spoke softly.

"B-But what about Quinn?" Rachel ask worriedly.

"We will hear news on Quinn when she is available to let us know. For now it's almost 4 am and your father has been awake since yesterday morning. Not to mention he needs to be taken care." Hiram replied and Rachel's eyes softened as she looked into the tired eyes of her father Leroy. He was still smiling at her softly.

"Ok." Rachel replied softly the 3 Berries stood up and began to make their departure. Rachel glanced back and her eyes widened when her chocolate orbs connected with the green swirling orbs of Shelby. The woman smiled at her warmly and Rachel whipped her head back forward. She felt absolutely hideous at the moment and was embarrassed to be seen by her mother for what she believes is the first time like this. To her Shelby was stunning and classy looking while simultaneously looking like a rock star with her leather jacket.

Just as the Berries exited the precinct. A flustered Judy Fabray rushed pass. She was so frazzled she hadn't notice them. They didn't say anything because they knew she was a mess of worry.

Quinn's cell...

Quinn was becoming anxious and was starting to panic a little. No one told her anything and she has been there for what felt like forever. Just as she was really starting to believe she killed her father. A bright light shined and a circular electric current whirled 10 feet in front of her cell door. Her eyes widened the sized of saucers. Before she knew what was happening two figures stepped out one by one. Quinn's jaw dropped to the floor. They weren't young looking as she herself was, they looked older and as sweaty and dirty as they looked the first time around of the apocalypse except more dangerous.

"Oh my Go-" Before Quinn could say anything, a hand reached through the cell cupping the back of her head and soft pillow like lips crashed in to hers through the bars. Quinn moaned in pleasure before she was released. Her eyes fluttered open and she stared into to the deep troubled depths of an older Rachel Berry.

"Hey, stud.." Rachel whispered with emotional affection. Quinn's eyes watered and her lips trembled at the nick name. Rachel had started calling her that in the future when they became a couple and she called Rachel her star. She hadn't heard it in so long her heart ached at the sound of it. Rachel stared at Quinn like she hadn't seen her in decades. In fact, she was staring at Quinn as Quinn had done her when Quinn first arrived back from the future. The brunettes eyes began to produce the silent tears it had been holding in. Quinn eyes were the size of saucers still. A throat cleared to there right. Quinn and Rachel pulled there eyes away from each other when really they didn't want to. There standing tall and looking every bit a soilder was Britney.

"I'm sorry guys but we don't have a lot of time." Britney rushed out as she did her best to give Quinn a hug through the cell. She too was looking at the blonde with tearful eyes. She was looking at her as if she'd vanish at any minute. Quinn's mind was a mess.

"Wh-What's-I-I don't understand. How is-"

"We're from the future, baby." Rachel spoke emotionally.

"Like I said we don't have a lot of time. Here take this. Meet us here at that time and day, no later Quinn. Do you understand me?" Britney said aggressive in a no non sense tone. The blonde took the paper from her and Rachel once again grabbed her by the back of her head and crashed there lips together, shoving her tongue deep into the blonde mouth the best she could through the cell, causing Quinn's toes to curl. When the brunette let go of a dazed Quinn she spoke quietly.

"Hey.." Quinn's eyes focused back on the love of her life. "I love you so much! I will be there for you!" Rachel's tears were still coming down. Quinn nodded dumbly and the two older women stepped back. Britney lift her wrist and began typing into what seemed like a watch on her wrist. Before the circular electric current appeared again.

"Oh and Stud?" Rachel called out and Quinn's eyes were on her in anticipation. "I'll be dumbing Finn very, very soon." Rachel and Britney giggled at the wide eyed gob smacked look on Quinn's face. The two woman step back in to the whirling current with Britney shaking her head humorously with a 'Too easy.' and Rachel smiling adoringly at Quinn with a 'Leave my baby alone, Brit. She's adorable.' and just like that they vanished. Quinn stared at the spot the two women were just moments ago. She honest to god believed she was going crazy but than again the slip of paper Britney handed her was still in her hands. Just as she was about to open it, the hall door opened and an officer stepped in.

"Fabray, let's go." The officer said as he began unlocking the cell door. He held the door open and the blonde stepped through. Her eyes trained on the spot that Britney and Rachel came and Vanished from. The blonde was being escorted but was too caught up in the jumble mess of what the fuck just happened to care. Did she really just see them? Did she really just talk to two people from the future? Did she really just get to KISS Rachel, again?! That thought stuck and her a moony eyed glaze washed over her features without consent.

"Quinnie!" Judy called out the moment she spotted her daughter. Quinn's head snapped up and her eyes widened in relief. She was being released. The blonde ran up to her mother and engulfed her in a hug. Soon after pulling away Frannie hugged her as well.

"Are you alright?" Judy ask but before Quinn could reply she was punched in the arm by a very surprisingly strong irate Frannie.

"ARE YOU INSANE?! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!"

"Frannie, this is not the time nor the place for this discussion." Judy spoke up. Shelby was doing her best not to laugh at the grimaced almost chastised looking former HBIC.

"I wasn't, that's the point and what was I suppose to do?! Stand around with my thumb up my ass as the cops did nothing! You bleeding in a corner Frannie!"

"Girls!" Judy tried.

"I don't care, Quinn! He could of hurt y-you! He-He did hurt you!" Frannie spoke angrily before her vocal cords quivered and tears sprang to her eyes.

Quinn's eyes softened at the sight before her. Her sister was scared. Scared for her safety.

"Hey.. I.. Come on.. I didn't mean to scare you.." Quinn started as she stepped into her sisters space. Shelby and Judy stepped away to give the two sisters privacy.

"Yeah-well.. you did.." Frannie replied quietly. Quinn pulled her big sister into a hug.

"Come on. You know I'm an idiot. I do stupid shit without thinking. I'm sorry."

"Your such a dick." Frannie replied stubbornly. Quinn giggled.

"I know.. Hey, How about we go back to moms place, make breakfast and crash on the couch with some cartoons?" Quinn said with a smile. Frannie pulled back an eyed her briefly with a sniffle and pink glassy eyes that melted Quinn.

"Last one to the car has to cook!" Frannie shot back as she sprinted out the precinct.

"Hey! That cheating!" Quinn followed after immediately. Shelby and Judy looked at each other before shaking their head at the grown children that just ran out the door.

"Are coming over, Shelby? You know your more than welcome." Judy said with a warm smile. At first she wasn't sure about Shelby being a good match for her daughter but she's happy to know she was wrong. Frannie has never been as happy as she is until she met Shelby.

"Yes, thank you." Shelby smiled back.

LIMA BEAN 8 AM..

Sam entered the Lima Bean exhausted. He had no idea where Quinn was but the team had continued on with construction on the base, that is until the blonde called everyone an hour ago. He had just ordered his coffee and was waiting when someone caught his attention. There wiping down a table in all her gorgeous glory was Mercedes. Sam's eyes shined and he was hit with a wave of passion. His heart hammered in his chest at just the sight of her. He scanned back and forth but didn't see her boyfriend any where in sight. He took a deep breath and licked his lips. He went to stepped toward but his eyes widened in horror as he noticed his barely there reflection in the large window. He ran his hands through his growing hair in a panic. He did his best to make himself presentable with what little he could see. He figured that was the best he could do. After straightening out his jacket he began walking toward her. His heart pounded in his ears. Mercedes was wiping down a table and fixing the salt and pepper shakers. She had, had a tough week. She had been arguing with Rachel more and more for solos. She and Kurt had an argument over the fact that she had been acting like even more of a diva than Rachel. That her ego was really causing a problem. She also is in the middle of a bad arguement with Anthony because despite what the rest of her generation thinks. Her virginity is precious to her and lately it seems like that's the cause of most of their arguements. She was beginning to feel the pressured.

"Excuse me?"

Mercedes looked up and froze when she glanced up only to be engulfed in the handsome young man before her. Mercedes has a secret. A secret she has never admitted to anyone not even Kurt and that is that she has had the hugest crush on Sam Evans since he started at mckinely. He smiled at her boyishly and she felt her knees go weak.

"Your Mercedes, right?" He ask kindly but all Mercedes could do was stare.

"Um.. You have AP history with me, right?" Sam tried again but to no avail, she just kept staring. Sam was losing his confidence quickly. He swallowed thickly.

"Ok.. Uh.. I guess I should go then. Sorry to bother you." He said as he back away and turned. He felt like a complete fool.

"YES!-Mercedes!" Mercedes shouted then shut her eyes in embarrassment when some of the patrons looked her way. Sam turned around and furrowed his brow in confusion making sure that she had spoke to him.

"Excuse me?"

"I meant, Yes we have AP history together and yes my name is Mercedes." She spoke as calm as she could. Sam smiled in return.

"I'm Sam, Sam Evans." He said holding his hand for her to shake when really he just wanted any excuse to touch her. Mercedes smiled and took his hand both teens felt a tingle in there arms and burst of excitement in their chest.

"Mercedes Jones."

"So, Mercedes Jones. How long have you been working here? I come here all the time and I never see you."

"Recently, actually. Though my dads a dentist, he's kind of a cheapskate." Mercedes giggled and it melted his heart to hear. He chuckled. "I wanted these purple and white high top leather converses I saw at the mall but my dad said they weren't worth the money. So, I decided I'd get them on my own and here I am."

"A strong woman that knows what she wants.. I respect that." Sam replied with a smile.

"Yes, That would be me. I have an entire summer wardrobe picked out already." Mercedes giggled out.

"Cool. I understand completely. Parents don't really get the fact that we're teenagers. We are always going to want something. It's like they forget they were teenagers once."

"Tell me about it. My dads only 46 and he acts like he's 60." The two chuckled in unison.

"EVANS!"

Sam and Mercedes turned to glance at the register. The guy just placing Sam's tray of coffee for the group on the counter. He wanted to stay because this is the first time he has ever gotten to talk to Mercedes since he found out everything. However; their was a emergency meeting Quinn requested everyone to be at on time.

"Well, I better get going. It was really nice to finally meet you." He said sweetly. Mercedes swooned deeply.

"Yeah.. It was really great to meet you, too."

"Bye.." Sam said walking backwards not able to take his eyes off her.

"Bye.." Mercedes replied bashfully.

Sam picked up the tray of coffee and made his way out of the coffee shop with one final wave to Mercedes. Mercedes waved back. She watched him hop into his truck and pull off. She sighed and couldn't stop the butterflies in her stomach even though she knew she already had a boyfriend.

SUBBASE 9 AM..

Quinn was pacing in front of her team. They had just sat down in the board room. Everyone was worried the blonde looked distraught, confused and crazy.

"Ok.. What I'm about to say might sound crazy but at the same time not crazy because I'm here so it can't be crazy." Quinn said confusing the hell out of everyone.

"Quinn, sweetheart. What exactly is wrong?"

Quinn stopped her pacing and took in her team before spilling the words that she never thought she'd sat in a million years. "While I was in my cell. Rachel and Britney came to visit me."

Leroy's eyebrows reached his hair line. As did Britney's. "Um.. Q. I don't remember visiting you in a cell." Britney said confusion written all over her face.

"Quinn I'm more than positive that Rachel was with Hiram and I the whole time." Leroy added.

"No. Not the Rachel and Britney from now. The Rachel and Britney from the future.."

Every ones jaws hit the floor and the only that could muster a word was Sue. "How?.."

"I don't know.." Quinn replied and she honestly didn't because no one had survived from the future.
