Rachel sighed as she put her last suitcase into Shelby's car. She went back to Quinn and Santana who were standing outside Louisa's house. "I think that's it."

"I can't believe we're leaving." Quinn said sadly.

Rachel burst into tears after Quinn said that. Santana quickly grabbed her hand. "Rachel, please don't cry."

Santana looked over at Quinn who had tears pouring from her eyes. Santana knew she couldn't be the strong one. She pulled Rachel and Quinn into a tight hug and let her own tears fall. It was hard to say goodbye since they were living together for months.

Quinn laughed as she wiped away some of her tears. "Why on earth are we crying so much? We're not going to the other side of the world. We'll still see eachother in school and at the weekends."

"It won't be the same. I'm going to miss you guys." Santana said. "I'm going to miss hanging out. Staying up late, talking."

Rachel took both Quinn and Santana's hands. "You guys both saved my life. Thank you. "

"Santana, I don't know what me or Rachel would have done without you or Louisa." Quinn said.

Rachel nodded. "Thank you."

"I would do anything for you guys." Santana said through her tears.

"We're still going to be friends now, right?" Rachel said. "We're not going to go back to the way things were before all this started."

"Off course not." Quinn said as she took Rachel's hand. "Your our friend. You'll always be our friend."

"If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have found my mom." Santana said to Rachel with a smile.

"You guys are going to help me with the baby, right?" Quinn said with a laugh as she put her hands over her stomach.

"Me and Rach can play with her, buy her clothes and dress her up. You can do the rest." Santana laughed. Both Quinn and Rachel laughed too.

Shelby, Louisa, Judy and Lalia walked out of the house together and saw the three girls.

"Ready to go, girls?" Louisa said. The three girls started crying again.

Both Rachel and Quinn went over to Louisa and hugged her.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me and Quinn these past few months." Rachel said.

"Your both very welcome. I'm going to miss you both." Louisa said.

They said goodbye and Santana watched as Rachel and Quinn got into their cars and drove away with their moms.

Louisa, Lalia and Santana went into the house. Santana sat down on the couch.

"You okay, sweetie?" Lalia asked as she sat down next to Santana.

Santana sighed. "They have been gone for less then five minutes and I miss them like crazy."

"It's gonna be weird for the first few days." Lalia said.

"Mom, would you be mad if I told you I wanted to stay living with Louisa." Santana asked. "It's just, I've lived with her for so long. It would be too weird moving out."

Lalia smiled. "I understand, sweetheart."

"I still want a relationship with you." Santana said. "Maybe I could live here and stay with you on weekends or something like that."

Lalia smiled and pulled Santana into a hug. "We'll work something out."

Quinn sighed as she looked around her bedroom. It was the exact same way she left it when her dad kicked her out. It felt weird being back in her old room. She missed staying with Santana and Rachel.

"Quinn, come here for a second." Judy called from the hallway.

Quinn stopped unpacking and went into the hallway. She saw her mom standing at the guest room. Quinn walked over to her. "What's up mom?"

Quinn looked inside the room to see it was empty. Normally the room was set up for guests staying with them. Now everything was gone. Quinn walked in and looked around, shocked. "Mom, where did everything go?"

"I got the room cleaned out." Judy said with a smile. "Your daughter needs somewhere to sleep."

"You did this for me and my baby?" Quinn said with a teary smile.

Judy nodded and smiled. "Off course darling. Now what color do you think we should paint it?"

Quinn looked around the room. "Maybe a nice yellow color."

"That's what I was thinking. Maybe we could go out tomorrow and buy the paint?" Judy said.

"I would love that." Quinn smiled.

"When we're finished painting we could go out and buy a crib and stuff." Judy said.

"Thank you mom." Quinn said as she hugged her mom.

Judy smiled and stroked Quinn's hair. "Your welcome, sweetie."

Quinn smiled. She was so thankful her mom was there to help her.

"Here we are, sweetie." Shelby said as she helped Rachel carry her suitcases into one of the rooms upstairs. "Your new bedroom."

"I love it." Rachel said with a smile as she sat down on the bed.

"So maybe we could re-paint the room. Put up a few Broadway posters." Shelby suggested.

"That would be great, mom." Rachel said with a smile. "It's going to feel weird not sharing a room with Santana and Quinn."

"Both Quinn and Santana are welcome to stay here whenever they want." Shelby said. She sat down next to Rachel and took her hand. "I know this year has been hard. This is going to be a new start for you."

"Thank you, mom. For everything." Rachel said with a teary smile.

Shelby smiled and pulled Rachel into a tight hug. "It's okay, sweetie. It's all over now. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you again."

"Thank you mom." Rachel said as a few tears fell from her eyes.

Shelby brushed back some of Rachel's hair and looked at her. "This is going to be a new start for both of us. Okay?"

Rachel nodded and smiled.

"So how about we start unpacking?" Shelby said as she lifted one of Rachel's suitcases onto the bed.

Rachel smiled and opened one of the suitcases and started unpacking. She was ready to start her new life with her mom.
