"No for the last time I don't know anything else!"

Mercedes crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow, "Oh hell to the n."

"Don't finish that sentence Mercedes. Rachel said she doesn't know anything else, so if I were you I'd stop asking."

Rachel smiles gratefully at Quinn and looks back at Mercedes and nods her head, "It's true. I told you everything that I do know for sure."

Mercedes shakes her head, "Alright fine, but I will find out more."

Quinn smirks raising an eyebrow, "You do that."

The darker haired diva high-five's the blonde and lightly punches Rachel's shoulder giving them both smiles, "I'm outtie. See you both later."

Quinn turns to the tiny diva and tilts her head, "She still bothering you about the whole 'incident'?"

Rachel nods her head, swinging open her locker and putting her books away while grabbing her homework and book for her class, "Yes and I keep telling her, and Kurt actually, that I've told them everything I know already."

The blonde gives her an apologetic smile, "And it's only been fifteen minutes into the day."

Rachel chuckles, "Oh my goodness, it feels like it's been so much longer."

"Rachel, Quinn. I just wanted to say that I'm really glad everything got sorted out."

Turning around Rachel sees Artie and Tina looking at her and smiling, "Thank you Arthur…I mean Artie."

The boy smiles brighter up at her and reaches for her hand and holds it, "Don't thank me, I kind of wish I could do more, I'd have loved being there when Santana and Puck did their thing. Kurt's been having a field day reliving the moment."

Rachel gives his hand a squeeze and shakes her head, "You do a lot already Artie, plus it's the thought that counts."

Quinn places a hand on Rachel's lower back showing her support as Tina nods, "Seriously Rachel, what happened was crazy and as bad as it is for Finn's mom, I really hope he learns his lesson."

At which point Artie focuses on Quinn, "Do you know if she's okay?"

Rachel feels Quinn's hand tense but before she can do anything the blonde is shaking her head slowly and quietly saying, "Can she really ever be? Her son is facing some pretty serious charges…how do you think she's doing?"

Artie and Tina nod their heads solemnly not quite knowing what to say in reply. Quinn takes a breath and shrugs trying to release some of the tension, "She's apologized for him though on his behalf. Which is pretty unnecessary, she has nothing to be sorry for."

Artie pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose and nods his head in understanding, "She feels responsible though. He's her son. As awful as the situation is and as free thinking Finn acted, she still believes it to be her responsibility to clean up after his mistakes."

After a beat of silence he clears his throat and gives them both smiles, "We'll catch you later. I'm gonna wheel Tina to class."

Rachel waves them off and then quickly turns to face Quinn, gently taking hold of her hand and pulling her towards an empty classroom.

"Rachel you're going to be late."

The brunette simply pushes her into a sitting position in one of the chairs and quickly follows by situating herself in her lap, facing her, wrapping her arms around her neck.

Hazel eyes widen as her arms wrap around the tiny brunette's waist on their own accord.

"Hi."

Quinn blinks and swallows, suddenly feeling as if her throat had gone completely dry, "Hi." She manages to just whisper out.

Rachel leans forward and kisses her deeply; applying just enough pressure to let Quinn know that she means everything she's giving to her with this kiss. Her hands gently play with some loose strands of blonde hair at the nape of her neck and she feels rather than hears Quinn moan into the kiss.

The brunette smiles when she feels Quinn's hands grip her waist tighter, which causes Quinn to smile as well. She brushes her tongue gently across Rachel's lower lip, not asking for entrance, but more so because she can and then she pulls back slowly and kisses her lips once, twice, three times before gently rubbing her nose against Rachel's and whispering, "I'm definitely not complaining baby, but what was that all about?"

Rachel's eyes flutter open and Quinn's heart skips a beat at the sight. She could get used to that. Her brown eyes are blown and she's got a faint blush coloring her cheeks and her lips are slightly glistening and parted letting a breath escape.

"Hmm?"

Quinn smiles even wider and her heart swells, she leans forward and nuzzles her nose into the brunette's neck and places a kiss where her neck meets her shoulder, "I said what was that for?"

Rachel smiles once she finally refocuses and threads her fingers through Quinn's ponytail, "Because you're amazing and…you're mine." She whispers the last part in wonder almost.

Quinn takes a deep breath, taking in the scent of her girlfriend, "I'm all yours Rach."

The brunette's heart flops around in her chest, "I-I'd love to stay here for as long as you can take me in your lap but."

Quinn lifts her head, effectively cutting Rachel off and smiles at her charmingly, "I can have you sitting right where you are right now for forever Rach."

Rachel blushes and breaks eye contact in an attempt to keep herself in check, "I-I'm going to be late to class."

Quinn chuckles and Rachel has to fight with herself to keep from squeezing her legs together because that would clue the blonde in to just how much hearing that sound come from Quinn affected her, "That's what I was saying but you didn't seem to mind then."

Rachel takes a deep breath and locks eyes with Quinn and melts just that much more at the look of absolute adoration she finds in her eyes, "I didn't and I still don't, not really, however I really do need a spotless record Quinn. So I highly recommend that you get up and unhand me so that I may go to class and I suggest you do the same."

Quinn lifts an eyebrow and smirks slightly, "Rach. I can't move unless you get off of me."

Looking down quickly Rachel's head snaps back up and the blush is now so prominent it looks as if she painted red onto her face, "Oh! Right, that…that may be a great thing to do then. Me getting up I mean. Yes indeed. I-"

Quinn cuts her off with a quick kiss, she gently pulls Rachel's lower lip into her mouth and releases it slowly, "You're cute." she whispers against her lips.

Rachel physically shakes herself before opening her eyes, "I-I mean. You are an amazing kisser. And such a charmer and if it wasn't for fear of being late I'd."

Before completing her sentence the bell sounds sending her flying off of Quinn's lap, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Quinn! I'm late! I need to go! I'm so."

Quinn bites her lip to stop from laughing and pulls Rachel behind her out the door since she was going around in circles freaking out, "You aren't late, you've got five minutes."

Rachel's eyes are wide as she looks up at Quinn indignantly, "That's late! I'm always at least five minutes early! This is late!"

Quinn actually can't stop the laugh from erupting even if she tried, "I'll get you there in time, promise."

With that she straightens her back more so than already straightened (she's no slouch), drops her shoulders and rolls them back thrusting her chest out in pride, and raises an eyebrow, keeping her face neutral. In short she adopted her HBIC pose and quite literally the hall parts like the Red Sea as she walks down it holding Rachel's hand gently in one, the other hand holding both of their books.

"M'lady." The blonde grins at the brunette brightly, gently offering her her book.

Rachel shakes her head and giggles, "Ever the charmer."

Quinn ducks her head and shrugs lightly, "Only with you."

With that she gently lifts the hand she was still holding and ghosts her lips across the back of it before letting it go, not even thinking to check if there was anyone watching or not, "I'll see you later Princess."

She throws a wink over her shoulder as she struts her way towards her own class, leaving behind her a very dazed and happy brunette.

A throat clearing alerts her to the fact that she's yet to set foot into the classroom and that she's been blocking the entry way for anyone else trying to get in, "So sorry. I'm just going to."

She clears her own throat and rushes into class slipping into her seat and hoping against all hope that her face isn't as flushed as she feels it is.

"Berry if I didn't know any better I'd say you were frustrated, in the sexual variety."

Santana smirks taking her seat beside the diva, basking in the fact that her cheeks get even more flushed, as if that were even possible, "Shut it Lopez."

The Latina laughs and ducks her head closer to Rachel and whispers, "Aww come on Ber I'm only kidding around. Seriously though you look like you've got your panties in a twist."

Rachel's head snaps towards the cheerleaders and she grumbles out, "It's not even all that. Quinn is just…She's such a charmer!"

Santana chuckles but nods in agreement, "And I'm guessing that since you weren't here your regular ten minutes early you got to see firsthand exactly just how charming she can be."

It wasn't said as a question and Rachel couldn't even bring herself to even look guilty about being late, "God she really can be."

Santana lets out a laugh under her breath and before she can stop herself she's gently nudging the brunette beside her, "That's way too cute."

Having caught what she said, Santana straightens up and clears her throat, "I mean, ya you're gonna give me a fuckin toothache and diabetes with all this sweetness."

Rachel giggles but decides to say nothing concerning the slip up Santana had and for that the cheerleader is grateful, "This has never happened before."

The taller brunette tilts her head but has to wait until their teacher turns his back before getting an answer to her nonverbal question, "Me being 'late' like this has never happened."

Santana smiles a little, "She's good for you Hobbit. She doesn't completely corrupt you by keeping you out of class and actually late, and she doesn't let you be overly early either. She balances out the anal-ness of you when it comes to being on time."

Rachel blushes and shakes her head, "I'm not that bad am I?"

Santana gives her a genuine smile and shakes her head, "No, not since a long time. But she still balances you out ya know? Like just the other day you were goin off on this crazy, wild, mega rant of all Berry rants and I shit you not, Quinn literally just laid a hand on your wrist and stroked you and you all but purred as you calmed down."

Rachel grins goofily and nods, "She's good at that huh?"

The cheerleader chuckles at her friend and goes back to writing out her notes, glancing over every once in a while to see Rachel doing the same with a rather large, hard to miss, you must be blind not to see it smile on her face, her eyes sparkling, kicking her feet slightly back and forth in her giddiness.

Santana has to restrain herself from reaching over and pinching the girl while squealing out a 'How cute!' what would the world think if they saw that happen? The Cheerio snorts and goes back to paying attention after deciding that lightly nudging Rachel and offering up a knowing smile was subtle enough to pass undetected, and good enough to curb her want to pinch her cheeks.

xoxox

She was wrong.

The need to pinch Rachel's cheeks because she was being so absolutely adorable was just too great for her own willpower to overcome, as proved by the pinching going on right now during lunch.

"Santana!"

The brunette cheerleader simply grins and gently pulls her cheek further, "Stop it aiight? I been tryin to get myself to stop wanting to pinch your cheeks but God damnit Berry! You're too freakin cute when you're like this! Stop it already! My rep is on the fuckin line!"

Rachel stood with wide eyes looking at the brunette before her, "Stop what?"

Santana rolls her eyes and finally lets go, and walks over to take a seat having reached her cheek pinching limit…for now.

"Being so overly cute. It started this morning in class. You were all smiley and giggle-y and kicking your feet all excited and oh my God what the hell seriously, stop!"

She yells out the last part and walks back up in front of Rachel to pinch both of her cheeks, "It's cuz I remembered how you looked bein all like that and stuff."

Brittany for her part couldn't get enough of just how adorable it was seeing her babygirl being so unabashedly affectionate and just sat in her seat grinning widely with a look of complete and utter contentment.

Which is how Quinn saw them all when she walked in a minute later.

"Uh…Santana? What's going on?"

The brunette turns to face Quinn and shrugs, "The craving struck."

To which Quinn actually laughed even though Rachel expected a 'wtf' look to appear on her face.

"The craving struck to pinch my girlfriend's cheeks?"

Santana nods her head and lets go of Rachel's face gently and pats her cheeks affectionately, "Yeah Cap. Like you wouldn't believe."

Rachel's eyes widen slightly and a blush forms on her already pink cheeks from being pinched. Quinn grins as she walks over, slipping an arm around the tiny diva's waist, "Oh I'm sure I can believe San. Rachel's got this way about her."

The diva leans her head against Quinn and mumbles, "I didn't realize I was doing anything."

To which Quinn laughs lightly, "That's the best thing. You don't know just how adorable you are, and it just makes everyone around you not know if they're going to explode from sheer cuteness or do something like pinch your cheeks and squeal."

Santana folds her arms and rolls her eyes, "Nuuh Blondie, I didn't squeal."

Brittany takes this as her cue to hop up from her seat and wrap her arms around Santana, "San you totally wanted to though, and I saw you biting your tongue."

Santana unfolds her arms and almost, almost stamps her foot, "Brittany! Whose side are you on?"

The blonde giggles, "Silly, we're all on the same side!"

Quinn laughs and pulls Rachel behind her towards the seats and allows the brunette to take her hand and place it in her own lap, "So what did she do?"

Santana rolls her eyes, "Hobbit, I'm totes sorry if this embarrasses you to no end but," she looks towards Quinn as she continues, "She was bein all cutesy and like giggling and smiling and kicking her feet back and forth and blushing like mad and like oh my fuckin God it's all her fault! You can't blame me. I blame her. Have some fucking flaws damnit! Normal, regular people have to live in this world too ya know! People would have to be made of stone not to be able to get affected by the cute!"

She turns and wraps her arms around Brittany's neck, "It isn't human to be that cute BrittBritt. You. I'd understand, I do, but Hobbit too now? Ya'll are like bunnies and puppies and kitties! Stop it already. I mean it. Humans can't take it with all this cute. I'd never get anything done!"

Brittany's eyes widen in excitement, "You think we're like kitties and puppies and stuff?"

Santana laughs and nods her head, "You're just too cute, and no one can deny it. They'd have to be like seriously messed up."

Quinn smiles and as she looks over at Rachel her smile grows because Rachel's got this wide eyed look of wonder and a smile playing at her lips as she watches the two in front of them.

"You look like you don't think this is really happening."

Rachel looks up at her and she quietly says, "That's because I really don't think it is. This is all so surreal."

The blonde softly laughs as she looks to their intertwined hands on Rachel's lap, "She gets this way sometimes. The last time this happened was like years ago though and I had just gotten braces…I hated them, but she thought it was the most adorable sight since Brittany in pig tails and she'd constantly tell me so and hug me, pinch my cheeks, she'd make me smile like a real smile all teeth and everything, Brittany doing the same seeing as she thought it was cute too. They made me feel good ya know? She's kind of not had a craving that bad in a long time so…You're really blessed though." Quinn chuckles as she looks back up at Rachel, "She doesn't let all of her sides be seen by just anyone. Literally the only ones who know her and all of her moods and sides are in this room. She trusts you sure, but now you guys are like bonded for life."

Rachel pulls Quinn's hand up to her mouth and gives each knuckle a kiss, "I'd love to see pictures of that. I remember the braces but…"

Quinn frowns slightly, "I'm sorry. I wish we had…"

Rachel lifts a hand and gently places it over Quinn's mouth, "Don't, it's okay."

The blonde promptly starts kissing the brunette's hand softly, causing Rachel to smile, "I actually feel somewhat more badass now. Knowing Santana in and out, I feel like I can take on anything."

Santana, having composed herself, rolls her eyes at that but the smile on her face lets it be known that she isnt annoyed in any way, "Whatever Hobbes. Just don't like think you can get away with anything just cuz I think youz bez cute."

Brittany twirls over to stand in front of the seated brunette and offers her hand, "Come on Rach-Kitty, we're gonna have a picnic!"

Rachel's eyes widen in excitement as she takes Brittany's proffered hand and simultaneously squeezes Quinn's hand and lets go to follow the blonde dancer across the room towards her duck lunch box.

Santana lets out a contented sigh as she takes the seat that Rachel just unoccupied, "We sure picked two of the most wondrous humans on this planet."

Quinn smiles as she watches their respective girlfriends lay out a red checked picnic tablecloth, Brittany explaining, "So it's a real picnic. It has to be like in the movies." And then continue laying out their food on it, Rachel smiling brightly when she notices that Brittany actually packed her some vegan friendly food. At one point the girls look back towards them and smile and wave before going back to their lunch.

The blonde turns to Santana and smiles softly, "I don't think we had much of a choice San."

Just then Brittany waves a PB&J in Santana's direction, pulling out a couple of Breadsticks too. Santana grins and stands up, facing the blonde, "Well Blondie, are we gonna sit here and let them get their picnix on or are we gon go show em how it's done?"

Quinn laughs as she allows Santana to pull her along towards the picnic, their girlfriends immediately making room for them.

Rachel smiles up at her brightly when the blonde places her hand in her lap, "Princess."

Quinn smiles as she notes the blush forming on her face.

"See! That's what I'm talking about! She cant go around doin shit like that! It isnt healthy for me! Control your hobbit."

Brittany pulls the cheerleader against her and silences her with a kiss, and once she pulls away Santana is left decidedly dazed, with a happy looking grin on her face.

"Apple juice?" She asks holding up the juice boxes still sporting a wide smile.

Quinn takes one and shakes her head slightly, taking in her friends. Sure they can be a little bit crazy, Santana, somewhat abrasive, Santana, and crazy, Santana…Quinn chuckles at her own thoughts and gently punches the Latina in the shoulder, giving her a smile and a shrug as an explanation, to which Santana just winks at grins knowingly and goes back to the lunch.

Quinn knew one thing was for certain. No matter what may happen in the future with all her other friends from Glee, she knew that these three around her right now, they were going to be in her life for as long as forever.

As Brittany takes out her animal crackers Quinn giggles but turns serious and swats Santana's hand away from taking the offered Lion shaped cracker and quickly stuffs it in her mouth.

Besties for life or not, no one plays with her Lion animal cracker. It was like taking away her bacon. Blasphemous.

A/N: Reviews are LOVE and after the crazy week I've had, I could really use some xx
