I don't own Glee, if I did well it would be so wonderfully more gay (lol). Any and all songs used in this chapter or future chapters are not mind, what a pity.

Wow I'm only a day behind, I hope that you keep that in mind when you read this and don't kill me when you're finished this slightly short chapter… I heart you guys I swear I do… Until Next week my lovelies.

Updates are scheduled for Monday's

(fingers crossed)

As always thanks for reading.

By the time the games was over the Titans had won, their biggest victory in the schools history . Rachel and the guys hustled off the field with smiles on their faces, the stadium on their feet cheering them.

"That was epic!" Dennis hollered as they hit the locker room. The payers nodding their agreement fist pounding as they passed one another.

Puck smiled at his teammates being the last one in, he glanced over and nodded to his little Jewish Princess who was in the middle of a cheerio huddle. They were all surrounding her as she stood in her football uniform. Brittany was wearing Rachel's helmet. "HB!" he called out to her. She leaned around the crowd and shot him a huge smile. "You ok?" she nodded he smirked at her. "I'll meet you back out here in 20 minutes ok?" she nodded again and then shrieked when someone pulled her into the locker room.

Puck laughed and headed back into his own locker room ignoring the other players as he quickly stripped out of his uniform and headed to the showers. He made quick work of scrubbing down, and redressing not wanting Rachel to have to wait on him, well not wanting to listen to her bitch if he wasn't on time.

He headed back out of the locker room, one of the first ones and he leaned up against the wall waiting for Rachel. He wanted a cigarette but being on school property that wasn't a good idea.

"Puckerman!" he looked in the direction of the call. His eyes widened when he saw no other then Coach Sylvester standing half hidden under the bleachers.

"Yeah?" he called over to her, keeping the girls locker room in his vision.

"Come here I want to talk to you." she demanded glaring at him.

"I don't think that is such a great idea, what do you want?" he called over to her. "I know this is about Rachel, and I can't believe think you can get to her through me."

"Puckerman if you don't get over here so that I can talk to, I'll make you regret it." she said through clenched teeth. She looked up and down the open corridor and then walked over to him, she was seething. "Listen, I'm not here to start trouble." Puck raised a brow at her. "Shut it. I'm not here for that. Listen Orangutan won't give me back my job, unless Rachel agrees with it. So I want you to tell me how I can get that to happen."

"You don't deserve that job, you hurt your entire team." Puck shouted. "Everyone of them believed in you and trusted you." He was so angry he shook, "You're getting exactly what you deserve. If you ask me Rachel was lenient on you."

"I agree." Sue admitted, looking ashamed for the first time in her entire life.

"Right…wait …what?" Puck asked confused.

"I'm agreeing with you, what Streisand did needed to be done. I was wrong, but I need my job back." Sue looked around to make sure they were alone still. "I've issues, I'm working on them." she shrugged. "Now what do I have to do to be back in Berry good graces?"

Puck looked at the woman before him, if he was honest there was something different about her. Rachel would kill him if she caught him talking to her. The girls would kill him for upsetting Rachel. "I don't know, she's protective of them now. I don't think that there is anything at this point that you're going to be able to do…"

"There has to be something, she's all about second chances." Sue cut him off, tossing a look over her shoulder. "Just tell me what I have to do!"

"She is all about giving second chances to the people that have hurt her, not so much with people who have hurt her people." Puck muttered.

"She forgave Lopez."

"She did," he nodded. "Look, let me think about it, maybe there is something I can come up with. But you have to prove that you're serious about this. You have to prove to me that you've changed."

"How in the hell do I do that?" she demanded.

"I'm sure you can come up with something coach, I'll help you if and only if I have your proof and your word that you won't hurt anyone else, especially Rachel."

Sue pursed her lips and looked into the high school boy. "Alright, you have my word, and in a few days you'll have my proof. Deal?"

"Deal." he muttered as the door to the girls locker room opened and a few baby cheerios headed out, Puck turned back around to face Sue but she was gone. "Creepy lady." shaking his head he leaned back against the wall. Lost in his own thoughts about what he had just gotten himself into.

Quinn waited outside of the showers for Rachel. She had seen the diva go in chatting it up with a few baby cheerios. She, herself tried not to shower with the girls since she had Beth, she was self conscious of her body.

Santana and Brittany were making out in the towel room, she had watched them take off in that direction….well by the sounds of it they weren't just making out. Quinn was caught between being disgusted , being jealous and wanting to laugh.

She spotted Rachel coming out of the shower alone wrapped in only a towel. The blonde smirked to herself and pushed away from the wall. Quinn made her way to where Rachel's locker was.

"Hey Rachel, I was wondering … If you wanted to… I mean if you weren't, I mean if you don't have plans… well you know, you and I can hang out."

Rachel looks at Quinn, and smiled. "Sure Quinn, I think Puck wanted to hang out. But I can tell him you and I can hang out instead."

"No I I don't want to interrupt your plans."

"Quinn" Rachel smiled leaned over and placed a hand on Quinn's cheek. "You're not interrupting we were just going to hang out. But if you want to hang out, then lets hang out."

Quinn smiled in relief and nodded. "I'm just going to go hop in the shower then." she grabbed her towel waited until the last cheerio left a shower and then headed in herself.

Rachel quickly got dressed, slung her duffel bag over her shoulder and headed out to find Puck. She located the boy waiting for her outside.

"Hey, I know that we have tentative plans, " she smiled up at him. "But Quinn wants to hang out. Do you mind?"

"No it's cool, the guys are having a celebration that we were suppose to go to, but I can go alone and let them know that you had something come up. Call me later, we can hang tomorrow."

"Thanks Noah." Rachel leaned up and kissed him on cheek. "You're the best friend a girl could ask for." she smirked at him. "Hold on a sec ok?"

Puck nodded and watched as she pulled open the door and called over someone, Puck watched as four baby cheerios followed her out of the locker room. He raised his brow when they came up to him with a smile. "Hello ladies."

Rachel smirked. "Noah this is Jenna, Kori, Bailey and Gina, girls you know Noah?" they nodded. "They're on our Junior squad, they'll be accompanying you this evening. " Rachel watched Puck start to smirk. "Watch over them, ok?" he just nodded and then offered them his left and right arm. He was quite the picture to be seen walking out onto the field two girls on each arm.

"Well he looks happy."

"I think so, but he'll watch after them, and that is what matters." Rachel smiled over at the two girls. "What you guys up to tonight?"

"No special plans." Brittany smiled at her. "You want to come over and hang out with us?"

"Can't Quinn and I are going to hang out." Rachel smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "We can get together and swim at my place tomorrow if you want."

Santana frowned, seeming to think it over. "You and Q huh?" she glanced over a Brittany who was smirking at her girlfriend with a twinkle in her eyes. "Be gentle Berry."

"Am I ever anything but?" Rachel smirked and hugged the two girls. "We're just hanging out anyway, no need to worry about anything."

"Whatever you say Berry." Santana laughed and then took Brittany off towards the parking lot.

Rachel smirked to herself and leaned back against the wall humming to herself. Quinn came out about ten minutes later, Rachel smiled at her and wrapped her arm around her waist. "Hi." she whispered when Quinn blushed.

"Hi." Quinn said wrapping her arm around Rachel's shoulder. "Where is everyone?"

"Doing their own thing, we've plans to meet at my place tomorrow. Tonight it's just you and me." Rachel led the way to the parking lot. "I just realized that neither one of has a car." Rachel laughed. "You fancy a walk? My house is closer."

"Sounds good." Quinn smirked down at the brunette. "You were pretty amazing tonight."

"The team did great tonight! You guys were pretty on point tonight. I'm sure that irritated Sylvester."

"If not, then the halftime show certainty did. That was pretty damn good considering you threw it all together at the last minute."

"I did not just throw it together we've all been working on it, I just told everyone last minute that we were going it tonight." Rachel shrugged.

Quinn laughed as they walked. "Ok Rach, if that's what you want to call it. That's what we'll call it."

"I'm glad that we agree." Rachel smirked up at the taller blonde. "I'm glad we're going to hang out tonight."

"Me too, it seems like forever since we've had some one on one time." Quinn looked at Rachel with a soft smile, stumbling over a rock in the path and tripping. Rachel caught her with no effort. "What a klutz." she muttered blushing furiously.

"Not at all, Quinn." Rachel whispered smiling. "Our path is riddled with debris, bumps, and dips. It's how we handle them that defines us, not that it occasionally trips us up."

"Rachel," Quinn pulled the other girl to her, now steady on her feet, though her knees were weak. She watched as Rachel watched her, nervously she leaned down the space between them evaporated. Quinn took a deep breath then elegantly placed her lips to Rachel's, and they both shivered. Quinn's eyes were closed but she saw fireworks. Something about being with Rachel, holding Rachel, kissing Rachel left her lighter, carefree, grounded , safe and excited all at the same time.

The kissed on the path, that was less then seven minutes from Rachel's house, for eleven minutes. Rachel knows because she checked her watch. She was drained, she was full of happiness, excitement and wonder. They pulled away and looked at one another, slowly blinking, a sappy smile on their faces. "We should get to my house." Rachel whispered softly, waiting only for Quinn to nod, then she led the way to her house.

They made it to Rachel's house in record time. They tossed open the door, shutting it quickly behind them. Quinn pushing Rachel up against the door lifting her slightly then fused their lips together. They moaned in unison, Rachel wrapped her long led around Quinn and raked her hands in Quinn's hair.

"Ladies?" Quinn squeaked Rachel groaned and looked over the blondes shoulder.

"Good evening Daddy." Rachel said calmly. Pulling her shirt back in place and coming to stand in front of Quinn. "You're up late."

"Yes well, you're father is on call. I was waiting up for him." Leroy hid a smile behind his coffee cup. "How was the game?"

"It wasn't boring." Rachel admitted with a smile. "Is there hot cocoa ?" she asked politely.

"Of course, would you girls like some?" he asked heading in the direction of the kitchen.

"Yes thanks daddy." Rachel called after him, then tried to tug on Quinn to get her in the direction of the kitchen. "Quinn?"

"I should go." she said her face several shades of red. Trying to turn and open the door with Rachel still holding her hand.

"Quinn, Daddy doesn't care." Rachel laughed softly. "I'm sure that he's forgotten all ready."

"Sure he did. Rachel I've never been so embarrassed in my entire life. Please we can hang out some other time, I'm too mortified." Quinn laid her head on the door, her heart still pounding hard.

Rachel placed a calming hand on Quinn's back, rubbing circles. "Baby, please don't be like this. I want to spend time with you. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're teenagers, plus my dads know me." Rachel grinned when Quinn turned to look at her with a raised brow. "I'm pretty irresistible."

"You're full of yourself Berry." Quinn deadpanned.

"I know but still irresistible, and I'm told quite loveable." Rachel said cheekily and then leaned up and kissed Quinn softly. "Come on lets play nice with daddy, and then we can go upstairs."

"And do what?" Quinn asked blushing again.

"I'm sure we can come up with something Fabray." Rachel laughed and tugged the blonde with her into the kitchen. "Smells delicious Daddy."

"It's hot chocolate Rachel, it isn't exactly complicated." Leroy rolled his eyes at her lovingly. "So tell me about the game, I caught a bit of it on the news." he smirked when Rachel faltered sitting down on the stool. "Long life the Queen huh?"

"Oh god, it was on the news?" Rachel put her hands in her hands. "Kill me now."

"What ever possessed you to call Sue Sylvester out like that?" he asked leaning on the counter.

Quinn sipped her cocoa and glanced between the two family members. "Actually Coach called Rachel and all the cheerios out by showing up." Quinn defended Rachel softly.

"Well, I can see how you'd see it that way." Leroy nodded. "But that cheer coach has been around for years, girls and she'll be here long after you're gone." when Rachel looked up at him with confusion, he added. "You're leaving this year Rachel, you'll have lost control of the school and Principle Figgins isn't strong enough to keep her in line. It's only a matter of time before she's back."

"We can't let that happen," Rachel said sternly. "What about our junior squad, and the girls on varsity that aren't graduating. Quinn we can't leave them to Sylvester."

"Rachel we can only do what we can do. Once we graduate our hands are tied. You're going to New York." Quinn blew softly on her cocoa.

"There has to be something that we can do." Rachel muttered sipping her own cocoa. "I can't just leave them to fall back into her clutches."

"Well baby girl if anyone can do anything it's you." Leroy said proudly. "Ok ladies I'm heading to the study, if you plan on continuing what you began in the foyer, please take it upstairs. Hiram isn't as cool as I am." he laughed.

"Thanks Daddy, give Dad a kiss for me. We're going to take our cocoa upstairs. Night Daddy." Rachel took her mug, then Quinn's hand and headed up the stairs.

"Night Ladies." Leroy called after them a smirk noted in his voice. "Make good choices." he whispered laughing to himself.

Quinn allowed Rachel to pull her up the stairs and into her bedroom, though she was still mortified. "Rachel, you can't be serious and neither is your father."

"We're very honest and open in this home Quinn. My dad's know me well enough to know what I do in this room, even if on occasion they pretend they don't. All they care about is that I'm honest with them."

Quinn shook her head, finding it hard to imagine parents who were calm, understanding and nonjudgmental. "Rachel."

Rachel shut the door, flipped the lock, walked over and took Quinn's cocoa and her own and placed them on the desk in the corner of the room. "Quinn, calm down." she whispered , as she led the worried girl to sit on her bed. "You're so beautiful." she whispered cupping her face leaned in and kissing her softly. "There is no other place, that I want to be." she promised leaning her back over the bed. "I'm sick of fighting this Quinn, what we have is undeniable and Inevitable." she ran kisses down the blondes face as she slipped her hands under Quinn's shirt.

"Rachel!" Quinn jolted at the touch of Rachel's fingers on her bare breast. Arching to meet Rachel's lips running her hands into the brunettes hair. "Please, I can't wait anymore."

"We don't have to." Rachel promised.
