Knock! Knock! The sound woke the sleeping girls; Quinn still wrapped securely in Rachel's arms.
"Quinn?"
"Mmm?"
"I thought I'd check to see if you're both still alive, it's 3pm. I have something I'd like to discuss with you downstairs. Sam has been and gone again." At the mention of Quinn's husband Rachel removed her hands from around the other girl's waist; she felt it was too intimate a position especially knowing she's in Sam's home.
The blonde girl noticed how Rachel moved at the mention of Sam and couldn't help feeling hurt. "Sure we'll be down in a minute"
"Quinn… you don't think Judy wants to talk aswell me do you? I don't think I can look at your mother in the same way"
"I think she'll probably shout and then throw you out" The brunette's eyes went wide "I'm kidding she's probably just going to talk about staying here or something. Come on" The taller girl stood up first and then gave her hand to the brunette helping her stand.
"Quinn can I possibly borrow a top or something?"
"Definitely!" Quinn remarked "Ya kind of stink" The blonde emphasised by pinching her nose; mocking Rachel
"HaHa! Sooo funny" Rachel folded her arms across her chest, but as soon as the blonde turned to get Rachel a top from her wardrobe, the brunette sniffed at her top; just in case.
Quinn turned back around noticing Rachel "I was joking Rach! You're such a geek" Quinn handed over her favourite blue hoodie, which Rachel snatched; angry at being mocked.
They both arrived downstairs ten minutes later still arguing over Rachel's 'smell'.
"I'm just saying you used to care about personal hygiene Rach-"Quinn jumped down the last of the stairs narrowly avoiding a slap from Rachel
".! …You smell too! So neeeh!" The brunette didn't have the energy to chase the blonde; her head was thumping enough to make her consider never even looking at alcohol again… till the weekend.
"Girls, really you sound like five year olds" Both girls bowed their heads down at Judy's motherly telling off tone "How's the head Rachel?"
"I'll live. I think I'm going to go, leave you to talk... Bye Ms… I mean Judy bye" The embarrassment Rachel thought she'd have when she came face-to-face with Judy didn't compare to how embarrassed she actually was.
"Alright then Rachel. It was a pleasure to see you again, even in your drunken state" Rachel gave a meek smile and made her way to the door; escorted by Quinn. "Oh and Rachel" The brunette turned her head back to look at Judy "I asked Carol from a few doors away if she knew what a MILF was and I must say we had quite a chuckle, thank you!" Rachel no longer had a tan complexion instead the colour of a lobster, she watched as Judy turned to the kitchen laughing.
"Oh my…" The brunette just stared at the spot Judy previously occupied; lost for words. She could hear Quinn also laughing beside her
"See now that wasn't so bad was it"
"That was a train crash! I'm leaving before I get into more trouble, you're such a bad influence Fabray!"
"Yeah you love it Min" The taller girl had a slight grin on her face
"Oh before I go Santana has invited me to attend a little get together this Friday at 'Bar Gear' you'll come right… and bring Sam"
"I don't know Rach" Quinn wasn't sure how Santana would react to seeing her
"Please I want you there and it'll be good to see Sam again… Come on Micky!"
"Fine but if Santana's a bitch I'm not staying"
"I can't promise anything, but I'm sure you'll give as good as you get Quinn"
"That's true… I'll see you then and take good care of that hoodie … don't smell it out!" Quinn stuck her tongue out
"It's my hoodie now. I'm slowly stealing your wardrobe; Shoes and a hoodie. Next time I want your pants!"
"Oh really?"
"I mean… Shush I'm leaving!" Rachel strolled down the path and closed the gate behind her "Bye!"
"Oh good I can breathe again! Now Smelly's gone" Rachel turned with her hands on her hips; Quinn stuck her tongue out cheekily and shut the door. The brunette walked home with a bounce in her step.
5 hours later
Rachel had been and told Hiram and Leroy what happened with Russell; they both urged her to go to the police. After a long debate/argument with Hiram about going to the police Rachel still stood firm she wouldn't, eventually Hiram stormed out in true Berry fashion. Leroy told Rachel he'd talk to Hiram if it's what Rachel really wanted. She stayed with her dad Leroy for an hour; talking about Quinn, Santana, Beth and Puck
The youngest Berry decided she'd get everything out of the way today; put it in the past. So she made her way to Shelby's house to see Beth and Shelby.
She walked through the front door, quietly shutting it before going to find Beth. She made it to the living room and watched as Beth tried to read a book to Shelby; mispronouncing some words only for Shelby to correct her. Beth finally turned; noticing Rachel
"Rach!" Beth gave the book to her mum and ran for Rachel "Rach! Where you been?" The brunette picked her younger sister up "Ouch! What happened to your eye? Was it that Ryan from school? He's so mean!"
"No who's Ryan?"
"He's really naughty and swears and is mean and shouts and kicks and smacks and-" Beth continued with her list
"He doesn't hurt you does he?" The older sister naturally went into protective mode
"No silly, he's in the other class"
Shelby walked over noticing Rachel's eye "Beth why don't you go and play upstairs"
"cause Rachel's here, I want Rachel" Beth wrapped her arms tightly around her big sister
"She'll be here after, now go upstairs for a while"
"But-"
"Bethany Corcoran!" Shelby scolded
"Sorry mummy. You promise you'll stay Rach?" The youngest girl asked before heading up the stairs
"Of course" Rachel replied watching the retreating girl. She then turned to Shelby who was watching her expectedly "It isn't as bad as it looks and it's sorted now so there's no need to worry"
"Who did it?"
"Russell; Quinn's dad. But he's gone now so it's finished"
"Is he behind bars?" Asked Shelby
"No"
"Then how's it finished?"
"Because I said it's finished and it is. I'm sorry but it's my problem and I dealt with it, my way"
"Right. Fine Rachel well I guess there's nothing more to say your sisters waiting for you"
Rachel didn't mean to be so harsh, but she'd had enough of talking about Russell. She'd argued with Hiram over it and she didn't have the energy or the need to repeat it with Shelby.
Rachel made her way up the stairs to Beth, feeling a hint of guilt at how she'd just talked to Shelby.
"Rach you stayed like you promised..ed?" Beth asked unsure
"Just promised" Rachel corrected "So what are you doing?"
"Having a tea party with Minnie, Mr Giraffe and Miss Pony" The younger girl pointed at all 3 teddies
"Quite the tea party, room for one more?"
"You have to sit on that side and I'll get you a cup and plate and cake and spoon" Rachel took a seat next to Minnie and 'Miss Pony'
The sisters continued to play 'Tea party' and other games for about an hour. Shelby left the girls to it; glad at how well they got on despite how hers and Rachel's relationship remained.
"Rachel who did hurt you?" Beth remembered her earlier question and asked again
"A naughty man but he's gone now"
"What if he comes back and gets you?" The worried youngster asked
"He won't sweetheart he's been told of and is learning his lesson"
"I hope they told him of really bad"
"They did"
"He should get a smacked bottom" Beth said nodding along with approval
"He should"
"I missed you Rach" Admitted Beth
"Missed me? I've only been gone two days I'm usually away longer than that"
"Yeah but you always ring and stuff you didn't this time. Where did you go?"
"I stayed at my friends Santana and Brittany's and then I stayed with Quinn"
"Quinn … the Quinn?"
"Yes your biological mother-
"Did you ask if she will meet me?"
"…Sorry sweetheart I forgot, next time?"
"You keep forgetting! I seen Puck I want to see Quinn!"
"I'll try"
Bethany didn't seem pleased with Rachel's answer, she stood and started putting her toys away"I'm tired I want to go to bed, bye!"
"Beth-"
"Night" Rachel turned and left; upset at Beth kicking her out of the room.
Both girls changed and got in their own beds; Rachel in the guestroom bed and Beth in her own, usually both girls slept in the guest room together.
Rachel started to drift off when a small figure made her way into the room and climbed in the bed beside her
"Sorry Rachel it's not your fault" Tiny arms wrapped around Rachel's neck "I just want to see her onetime"
"I promise you Beth, I promise you that you will see Quinn, okay?"
"You're the bestest"
"It's the best, Beth" After Rachel corrected her sister they both got comfortable and drifted off to sleep; Rachel wondering how she would convince Quinn to meet Beth
