Chapter 37

May 10th 2029

Lucas exits the car and walks around to open up Madeline's side. Once she gets out, he grabs hold of her hand and looks up at the nice house in front of them.

"So how special is your family?"

"Too special" she chuckles. "Mom and Ma have been together 19 years now, and I'll bet you $200 you'll catch them making out inappropriately at least twice this weekend. They are deeply in love still"

He smiles at this. His own parents were divorced so it was going to be nice to see a happy couple other than him and Madeline. "Ok"

"Mom is a very famous photographer and Ma has spent years on the Broadway stage. She's very famous. My dad is in my life and he will threaten you a couple of hundred times over the weekend" He nods nervous and wipes the hand that is not in Madeline's on his jeans. "It's not him you should worry about. It's my Aunt Santana. Stay away at every possible moment. She'll hurt you if you hurt me"

"Can I back out right now?"

"Nope. You proposed, now you've got to lie and get their acceptance first. Suck it up and I wish you good luck" She sees the car in the drive and doesn't recognise it. Once she looks inside, she sees a well known brief case which belongs to her Grandpa who was also a Doctor. "Oh fuck, my grandpa and pop are here"

He looks up in shock. "Is that bad?"

"For me it's good, for you its terrible"

His eyes widen in shock and he looks even more nervous than before they left.

Quinn and Rachel are sat on the porch on the swing, embraced and sipping wine from their glasses just content on being together. They look up when the porch door opens and their eldest comes out looking exhausted. She sits down next to Quinn and lays her her body across the two women, her head resting on Rachel's lap.

"Tired baby?" Rachel asks whilst running her hand through her daughter's long blonde locks.

"Did dad and San have to scare Luc that much?"

"I had a go later. It's the first boyfriend you've brought home to meet the whole family. They don't know how to act" Quinn says.

"Maybe like normal people"

"Sorry baby" Rachel apologises. "We're glad to have you home"

"Glad to be home"

"So..." Rachel says playing with the strands of Madeline's hair. She looks at Quinn who nods and smiles at her. "When are you going to tell us?"

"Tell you what?"

"We noticed you've got a ring around your neck and a tan line around your ring finger" Madeline blushes. "We just put two and two together"

"He wanted to ask your permission before I could tell you"

"You should know nothing gets past me and your mom"

Madeline sits up. "Do you approve?"

"We would say something sooner if we didn't. Congratulations baby"

"I can't believe our baby is engaged"

"Hey" Grace says as she walks out onto the porch.

"Gracie what are you doing up baby?" Quinn asks and Grace shrugs.

"Couldn't sleep. I came down for a glass of water and heard you guys out here. You're engaged" Madeline reaches out her hand and pulls her sister onto her lap. Despite the age difference, Madeline and Gracie have always got along brilliantly.

"I'm engaged. What do you think of Luc kiddo?" Madeline asks.

"He's cool I guess. I'm happy for you though Mad's"

"Thanks"

"Aunt San scared the sh" Rachel glares at Gracie daring her to continue "sugar into him earlier on though"

"God don't I know it. I also told him as a joke, she's the one to watch to watch out for" Gracie chuckles and nods.

"She is the one to watch out for. Well her and Uncle Puck"

"I know"

Rachel smiles from her perch in Quinn's side at the 3 gorgeous women next to her. Both girls had inherited Quinn's gorgeous features, however the younger one made Rachel have to look twice, as it looked like she was looking at 10 year old Quinn. Madeline had some of Puck's features as well in her, including the brown eyes which made Quinn & Rachel's lives very difficult as they were impossible to resist. The two younger Fabray's looked just like the tiny diva, they had made sure that they had got someone tall, so Jacob at least had a chance of being a 'normal' height as Quinn called it however Jacob and Olivia had both also somehow got eyes just like Quinn's.

"What are you thinking about angel?" Quinn asks.

"You. I love you. All of you"

May 28th 2029

7 year old Jacob sits down at the kitchen table eating his breakfast when he smiles up at his mama.

"Mama, can we get a puppy?"

Without missing a beat Rachel responds. "No"

Olivia whines making Rachel glare at her daughter. Olivia is the spitting image of Rachel in every way, from her divaness to her need for attention and luckily Rachel knew straight away how to deal with her daughter's habits. "Come on mama" Olivia asks. "Why not? We'll walk the puppy, we'll do everything"

Rachel shakes her head. "No you'll get Jane to walk the dog, whilst you two are sat playing your video games. I know you two too well. Eat up and let's get going to school" Jacob goes to complain. "No Jacob, I won't hear this, please just eat your cereal"

"OK"

Later that night, Rachel walks through the door, knackered after her show. She's waiting for her youngest daughter to come and greet her like normal, however she stops inside the doorway to their home, when she hears a bark coming from the living room. Anger fuels inside her and she walks into living room and sees her three youngest children sat on the floor giggling, whilst her wife is being licked to death by a golden retriever puppy.

"Oh hell no you didn't" Rachel shouts from the doorway, anger building up quickly inside of her.

"Hey baby look" Quinn calls adorably from her position underneath the puppy but Rachel just glares at her.

"Quinn Marie Fabray, get in that fucking kitchen, right now" Quinn knows she is in trouble as Rachel never swears. She gets out from underneath the dog and stands in front of her wife.

"Ma, did you just swear?" Grace asks.

"I'm not talking to you right now. If that mutt pisses on my floor, I will disown the three of you"

She walks into the kitchen and begins pacing up and down, and starts breathing even heavier when Quinn gets in the room.

"Baby what's wrong? It's only a dog"

Rachel sarcastically laughs. "A dog that I told our children this morning that they were not allowed" Quinn opens her mouth in shock. Those devils, she knew she should have talked to Rachel. "A dog that you didn't even fucking ask me if we could get. A dog that... ugh I can't stand to be here right now. I'm going out" Rachel goes to grab her coat but Quinn stops her.

"Baby no. Stop. Just stop for a minute" She manages to get Rachel to stop and look at her. "I've never heard you swear this much before, well other than the twin's birth. I'm sorry I got Sammy without asking you, but she's adorable. Please let us have her?" Rachel shakes her head and tears appear in her eyes. "What's really wrong?"

Rachel looks down at her hands. "I hate dogs" Quinn opens her mouth in shock. How after 19 years she did not know this she doesn't know. "With a passion. I'm terrified Quinn and that mutt" she points towards the living room "is there, ready to try and pee on me and chew all of our nice things"

Quinn stops a chuckle and leans forward pressing a kiss to the side of Rachel's head hugging her tightly at the same time. "Ahh now we're getting down to the bottom of things. Sammy is 1 already, she is already trained. I was told that she doesn't pee on carpets, she doesn't chew items and she won't jump up at you"

"I still.. I can't have a dog in the house Quinn"

Quinn nods. "You can. You need to get over this fear baby. Please for me, for the girls and Jacob. If you don't like her within a week, Brittany is already besotted. I'm sure I can pawn her off on them"

It was now one week later and Quinn is currently smiling from her position in the doorway, Rachel is currently sat on the couch reading a book, and Sammy is at her feet, looking for some attention. It's been the same way every week. Sammy has been looking for some attention from Rachel all week, however the brunette has not been willing to give it.

Now however, she keeps looking down at the puppy, with a little smile on her face. Finally she puts the book down and bends forward and scratches the puppy behind her ears. Sammy roles over onto her back and Rachel giggles and scratches her tummy. Quinn reaches for the camera on the side and quickly takes a picture, making sure the flash is off.

Rachel leans back and takes a deep breath before tapping her legs and letting Sammy jump onto them. Quinn takes one more picture before letting her presence known. Putting the camera down first of course.

"Does this mean that Sammy is staying with us?"

"Quinn, I... I am not as afraid of her as I thought I might be" Quinn smiles brightly at this and sits next to Rachel on the couch.

"I'm so glad baby. The kids love her" She kisses her wife softly. "I love you"

"I hope you do after all of this time"

"I do, even more now than back then, if that's even possible"

September 29th 2029

Quinn smiles at the sight of her wife sitting at the end of their bed, her elbows leaning on her knees and her head in her hands.

"I heard the argument"

Rachel closes her eyes tighter and Quinn can see tears falling out of them making her heart break, knowing her wife was just trying to deal with something she has no idea how to solve. "I know. I'm in the wrong. I'm pushing my child away as I'm trying to find something in common with her. I shouldn't try and push"

Quinn takes a seat next to Rachel on the bed and pulls her into her arms, and then leaning them both back onto the bed. Quinn turns to face her wife and brushes her bangs out of her eyes. "No you shouldn't. She is not musical, she loves films, however she doesn't share teh same love as you and Maddie over musicals or anything to do with things like that"

Rachel nods sadly. "I just want to bring her into my world. Show her what I love"

There is a soft knock on the door and Quinn lifts up her head and sees her daughter standing there looking nervous. "I like lighting and behind the scenes stuff. I'm just not interested in music like you and Maddie are"

"Gracie?" Rachel questions. Gracie jumps up onto the bed and crawls into Rachel's embrace. Rachel smiles, kisses her cheek and wraps her arm around her small waist.

"Take me to your show mama. Show me backstage. I'm tone deaf, so I just don't really enjoy music that much"

Rachel kisses her temple. "I've heard you sing in the car Gracie Bear. You are not tone deaf, you have a good voice" She smiles. "I will however do as you asked. I will introduce you to everyone on stage, make sure you see my world baby girl. I love you so much"

September 9th 2030

Quinn is currently having her weekly conversation with her mother over the phone. She's currently in the kitchen attempting to make dinner for the kids whilst on the phone.

"So how was your date the other night?" Quinn asks with a smirk on her face. One of Judy's colleagues at her recruitment office had set her up with a guy the other night and when Quinn talked to her last, she was absolutely terrified about it.

"It was... Quinn, you really don't want to know" Quinn's brow furrows when she realises what her mom is getting at.

"Oh ew. Oh god mom, seriously I did not need to know that. On the first date? You whore" She shouts into the phone making Judy laugh out loud.

"No, nothing like that happened yet. I wanted to, boy I wanted to but he was the perfect gentleman. We have another date tomorrow night"

Quinn smiles. Her mother has attempted to date since her break up with her father, however the relationships never worked out as she seemed to always attract men like Quinn's father which of course sent Judy running for the hills.

"What's his name?" Quinn asks trying not to laugh.

"Charlie. Charlie Gibson. He's British, and is 3 years younger than me. Has been married twice, and has a son, Samuel who is bi, but has been married for 4 years now to a woman. He works as a broker, and is drop dead gorgeous Quinn. He reminds me of a cute Hugh Grant back in the old days when he didn't look so old"

"Mom you sound besotted"

"I am. I really am. God I feel 17 again, like when I met your father for the first time"

"Well, I wish you all the best mom. If things turn out well, we expect to meet him when we come up for Christmas"

Judy chuckles. "Oh god, with your crazy family he'll run for the hills"

"Love you too Mom. I better get going. I'm looking after the Rugrats tonight" She hangs up the phone and then smiles, knowing her mother has probably just found love.
