READ THIS FIRST PLEASE: I think I've been apologizing for the lateness of each update in the last few chapters now. I'm sorry. I honestly am trying to write more but uni is bogging me down with essays. I've also been writing the 'intense' chapter I told you about but its got a lot of Quiff angst and its getting me down emotionally as I write it. For that reason, I decided to finish a new filler fluffy chapter just to update for now, and the next one will be the climax/angsty one.

Kayleigh (Blaine's sister) comes back in this one. You also find out more about some Warblers. By popular demand, Wes and David are back in this one :]

Let me know what you thought!

Thank you so much for sticking with this fic through all the delays. I really love you guys and the reviews/alerts mean the world to me.

As always, I love getting prompts. Drop em in my ask box - dfreakincrissDOTtumblrDOTcom/ask

Alright, enjoy.

Quinn was having an odd dream. It had been going lovely, with Jeff and her on holiday in what appeared to be Paris, based on the Eiffel tower in the background. Then the scene changed to include rocks being dropped around her. She woke up with a start, and looked to the window, where a plinking noise was appearing.

Walking over, she drew back the curtain and looked down, her mouth opening in more wonder than shock. There on the lawn was none other than the man she had been dreaming about, clad in blue plaid pajama bottoms and a white hoodie. Quinn opened the window quickly and leaned outside.

"Jeff!" she hissed, loud enough to carry but not to wake up her mother. "What are you doing here?"

He only smirked and said "come downstairs".

Quinn shut the window huffing. She pulled on a jacket over her tank top before tip-tipoeing downstairs and through the front door.

She stood in front of her door, a stern expression on her face as she looked at Jeff. He looked so hot with his hair rumpled and NO. Focus Fabray, you are mad at him for waking you up.

Jeff sauntered up, smiling knowingly as kissed her cheek and drew back. "Hey babe" he whispered, nudging her cheek with his nose.

Quinn sighed and gave up, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him properly. He responded by picking her up around the waist and twirling Quinn, even as she broke the kiss to laugh into his neck.

"No seriously," Quinn said smiling as she was put back down, "what are you doing here?"

"Welll…." Jeff drew out the word. "All of the guys are going to the beach."

Her jaw dropped. "The beach? At 3am?" she said disbelievingly.

"Yes." Jeff said, "the beach".

{A/N: Pretend its summer and Lima is near a nice beach, okay?}

"Um, okay." Quinn said, starting to laugh despite herself. "Lemme get changed and…"

"Nope." Jeff said. "No-one is allowed to get changed."

"Why?"

Jeff shrugged. "It was just decided. Now come on, I've left Mary-Kate and Ashley in the back seat."

Quinn looked at him appraisingly. "Fine", she said, rolling her eyes. "But I gotta get back before my mom wakes up."

"Deal".

He took her hand and led her to his car, he had parked a few houses down.

The shout of "QUINNIE" deafened her as climbed into the front seat.

"Hey, boys" she said, turning to grin at Wes and David. Like Jeff, both were wearing jackets and pajamas.

Jeff climbed into the drivers seat and started the car.

"Ready to go?" he said smiling at Quinn. It very quickly changed into a groan as Wes and David burst into song, singing "Hit the road" substituting Jeff in for Jack wherever applicable.

Jeff helped Quinn out of car and took out a few blankets from the boot, before they walked out towards the shore.

Jeff threw a few blankets to the boys, and took the two others for them. He laid one down and gestured for Quinn to sit before sitting behind her and wrapping the other blanket around themselves.

His hands wrapped around her waist and she leaned back into him, feeling her skin warm up quickly.

He nuzzled her cheek and kissed her neck in between snippets of conversation as they talked about how their weeks had been.

More boys kept showing up, coming to greet her, only to be warded off the flirty comments as Jeff made his possessive face. Quinn pinched his thigh and laughed, settling into him comfortably. She found his jealousy adorable, and honestly, a little hot. It was ridiculous though, who could be more perfect for her than Jeff?

Kurt showed a half-hour later, almost asleep on his feet, being tugged around by Nick. He lay down on a blanket next to Quinn and Jeff, cuddling himself into the warmth and keeping his eyes closed.

"Where's Blaine?" Quinn asked, trying hard not to coo. Sleepy Kurt was adorable.

Kurt opened his eyes briefly to answer. "He had gone home for the night to see Kayleigh. I called him about the picnic though – he's on his way". With that, Kurt yawned and fell asleep. Jeff chuckled and threw another blanket over the still-shivering boy and Kurt mumbled a thanks.

Sure enough, Blaine showed up a half-hour later with Kayleigh in tow.

"'JEFF!" Kayleigh came over excitedly and ruffled his hair.

"Ohmygod Kay get off…" Jeff tried in vain to move her hands by shaking his head, as his hands were currently in the blanket around his girlfriend's waist, but it clearly wasn't working.

Blaine had gone straight to his slumbering boyfriend, smiling as he stroked Kurt's jaw and kissed along his cheeks, waking him up slowly.

"Hey babe" Blaine whispered, grinning widely as Kurt woke up slowly.

'Hi…" Kurt's reply was quiet and sleepridden. He put his arms around Blaine's neck, drawing him down for a kiss.

"Spoon me" Kurt said, yawning and turning on his side. Blaine laughed softly and lay under the blankets with Kurt, his chest to Kurt's back and pulled him close.

The romantic atmosphere was broken by Kayleigh, who had decided to greet Wes and David in her true individualistic fashion – by jumping on them.

Rather than being disheartened, David seemed to find it hilarious, and pick Kayleigh up in a piggy-back. She laughed.

"Put me down David" Kayleigh said laughing. "I want hot chocolate" she said loudly, mock - hitting his arm.

David heaved a great sigh and lowered her down, pretending to cry. "Oh Kay…you no longer like my piggy back rides".

Wes joined in with the dramatics, pretending to cry. "David, our baby is all grown up now."

"Oh, please." Kayleigh said, rolling her eyes. "Other way around. I raised you."

Wes and David's sounds of outrage were cut off by someone else calling Kayleigh's name.

She turned to find Thad.

"Hi, Thad" she said easily, going to give him a hug before realizing his hands were full.

She drew back, smiling.

Thad held out one of the cups, grinning and winking. "Hot chocolate?"

"You're the best" Kayleigh said gratefully, kissing his cheek in thanks.

Thad, for some reason, blushed.
