A/N: Thought I'd give you another one tonight. Another Character Death warning in this Chapter, straight from the beginning. It's upsetting, but it's not a main Character death so hopefully the ones that are not interested in things like that will be able to deal. We get to meet another Fabray in this Chapter so I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 51

March 8th 2049

Rachel is sat with her wife of almost 30 years in the living room, Olivia was back home for the weekend, and was currently trying to beat her baby sister at a game on the Wii. The house phone goes off, and Rachel kisses her wife's cheek before going to get it. Answering in her usual greeting.

"Rach. It's Charlie"

"Hey Charlie" She says happily. "How are you? How's mom?" She hears Charlie sights and knows immediately something is wrong.

"Judy died earlier this morning. It was a brain aneurysm, a cerebral one or something, she" He breaks off when a sob is let out. "Oh god Rachel, she... I loved her so much"

Rachel can't believe this is happening. First her father and now the woman she thought of as her mother.

"Oh my god" Quinn looks over at her with a confused look in her eye, and when tears begin running down her face, she jumps up and goes to support her wife.

"What's wrong baby?" Quinn asks and Rachel holds up her hand.

"I'll, I'll tell you in a minute. Go be with the kids. Please" Quinn nods and goes to sit back down staring at Rachel trying to hear what's happening. "Sorry Charlie, I... we'll be back to Lima as soon as we can"

"Thank you. Is Quinn there?" The man questions.

"Yeah" She looks up and sees her wife is now panicking. "I need to go and tell her. Keep strong" Rachel hangs up and looks up to Quinn and nods her head in the direction of the kitchen. Quinn nods and walks into the kitchen, waiting for Rachel to follow. "Liv can you watch AJ for me? Please stay away from the kitchen?" The girls nod in understanding. Walking in the kitchen, she hugs her wife as tight as she can, knowing Quinn will need her to hold her up when she tells her.

"Who died?" Rachel kisses her neck and sighs.

"Mom" She whispers. Quinn pulls back and starts to break down when she sees Rachel is telling the truth. Rachel holds her tightly and lets her tears fall as well. Judy Fabray over the last 30 years has taken the place of her own mother, and loved Rachel in place of Quinn's sister whom wouldn't talk to her after she allowed Quinn back into her life.

"Ho... How?"

"Brain aneurism"

Quinn chokes in a sob. "Oh god. Rae" Rachel hugs her tightly again.

"I love you princess. So much and your mother loved you just as much as well. She lived a fantastic life. She got to see the triplets being born, and she got to see her family develop and she was so happy with Charlie"

"I... we're going to Lima?" Quinn asks and Rachel nods and kisses Quinn's forehead.

"Of course. As soon as we can. We'll get Liv to watch AJ for us. I love you babe" She kisses her softly.

"Love you too"

"Mama? Mommy?" Alyssa asks from behind the door.

"Quinn go get some bags packed. I'll tell them. Go babe" Quinn walks out and Rachel hugs the 12 year old into her arms. Her 27 year old comes into the room and walks into the hug as well.

"What happened Ma?"

"Your Grandma, she was poorly, she had something wrong with her head and she died early this morning"

"What?" Alyssa cries. Everyone seems to be dying in her life lately. "Please no"

Rachel leans down and kisses the top of her daughter's head. "I'm so sorry baby girl. She lived a good life"

"I'll look after AJ" Grace says. "You get down to Lima"

"Are you sure?" Grace nods and hugs her mother.

"We'll be there for the funeral but we all have work and school"

Quinn is sat on the top of the stairs at her mother & Charlie's house, looking out at their family. The one thing Judy specified was that everyone had a good time at the reception, it was to be filled with music, and grandchildren and laugher and so far it was. She smiled at the site of her three grandchildren, Jake's triplets, as they are chased through the room by their older sister Rose. The 11 month old triplets have just learnt to walk, but are still unsteady, and the sight makes Quinn smile.

She can't believe that she is now a grandmother of 6, her eldest now 13 and the babies being the triplets in front of her. She smiles at the sight of her younger daughter being hugged by her eldest, wishing that she had her camera right now. Her life has come full circle, and despite their disputes when she was younger, Quinn and her mother were strong, and now she can't imagine her life without her.

She feels two hands land on her shoulders and someone sit down beside her, grabbing her hand for support. She leans over and rests her head against her best friend, her wife, her everything. "How are you coping princess?"

Quinn chuckles. "I've missed hearing you call me that angel" Rachel smiles and kisses the top of her head.

"I know. It seemed appropriate right now. I love you, you know. You have been so strong through all of this, I've been a wreck. I'm so sorry" Quinn shakes her head and squeezes the hand in her own.

"No don't' apologise. I know it sounds stupid, but I've been strong for you. I'm ready to cry right now, but knowing you are here, and I'll need to stay strong for you, and the kids, it's helped believe me"

"So me being an emotional wreck is a good thing" Quinn nods and Rachel lets out a small chuckle. "You strange beautiful woman"

Quinn chuckles. "I can just hear her standing above us, telling us to stop being so sappy and scolding you for calling me strange"

"I know what you mean. She's been a fantastic part of our life Quinn. All of the kids adored her"

The doorbell goes and Rachel stands up to go and answer it, she walks down the stairs, kissing her wife on the cheek before descending. Opening the door, she comes face to face with a woman she's never met, but who looks like the spitting image of Judy & Quinn. Looking behind, she sees a very old man, and makes the assumption this must be Russell Fabray.

"Hello. Can I help you?" She asks the man and woman.

"We're here for the funeral" The old man states and Rachel decides she can be just a little bit difficult with them.

"And you are?" She asks leaning against the doorframe.

"Is Quinn here?" The Quinn look-a-like asks.

"She is. And you are?" Rachel asks again in a tone making sure they know she won't let them through until they've told her. Russell sneers at her.

"You're the thing she's married to. I've seen your picture in magazines"

Madeline walks to the door and sees her mother glaring at them and when she hears the man call her Ma a thing. "I'm fine Madeline. Would you be able to get your mother for me?" Maddie nods and Rachel lowers her voice to a whisper. "Preferably before I feel the need to smack him"

"Is that the child Quinn had when she was a teenager?" Dylan asks and Rachel nods. "She looks so much like Quinn. Look we've come to pay our respects to my mother. We were invited" Quinn comes to the door and wraps her arm around Rachel.

"No you were invited. He is someone I've not wanted to think about for the last 40 years"

Dylan sighs knowing she's not going anywhere with him in tow. She turns to him. "Dad can you wait in the car?"

He steps into her personal space. "No. If you think I'm going to let you go into this home of filth you" Before he can finish Dylan's palm has connected with his cheek.

"Go Dyl" Quinn says. Dylan pulls her hand back in shock, her father turns around and gets into the car and drives off. She never meant to do it, but this was her chance at meeting the rest of her family and she was not going to let him ruin it.

"Look like I'll need a cab back home now" Quinn chuckles at her older sister whom she's not seen since she was 15 years old. "Can I come in?" Quinn opens the door wider and Dylan walks in, looking around her childhood home with awe. She hasn't been back in over 4 decades and she missed it.

"I didn't think you'd come"

Dylan nods and smiles at her baby sister. "As soon as I heard, I had to you know" Quinn nods in understanding. "No matter how much I hated her for what happened, she was my mother"

Rachel kisses Quinn's cheek. "I'll leave you too it princess. Call me if you need me"

"Thanks babe"

"That's you uh... wife then" Dylan asks and Quinn nods and smiles proudly.

"It is" She decides she needs to warn Dylan before they go any further. "If you say anything bad, and you'll be back outside before you can even blink"

"I wouldn't. Was mom happy when she died?" Dylan asks looking around the room that felt so familiar but was so different.

Quinn nods and points over to Charlie who is holding Jacob's triplets. "She re-married around 20 years ago now. His name is Charlie. He's over there holding the three babies"

"Are they yours?" Dylan asks in shock and Quinn laughs out loud at this.

"No my child bearing days are over. They're my grandchildren. My son Jacob's kids"

"How many kids do you have? Just the two"

"I have five children" Dylan's eyes go wide in shock not expecting such a high number. She herself has never been able to conceive so is shocked that her sister has had so many.

"Five? That must be a handful"

Quinn looks at her sister trying to work out if the woman was here in peace or not. She looked so much like her mother it made Quinn's heart break. "It's a handful, but they are amazing. We adopted the 5th one 9 years ago now. Mom absolutely adored her"

Dylan looks confused. "You adopted all of them, other than the one you had in High School" Quinn shakes her head.

"No. I had Madeline & Grace. Rachel my wife had the twins Jacob & Olivia. We adopted AJ because we wanted to give her the life that our other four had. Have you had any kids?"

Dylan shakes her head, and looks down at the ground sadly. "No I was unable to conceive. I'm still with Matthew though" Quinn grounds her teeth together, she hated him from the moment she met him when she was just 15. Dylan was 20 when she met him, and he was too much like Russell in Quinn's eyes. He was also the reason that Dylan wasn't allowed to see her mother or sister.

"That's impressive. I would have murdered him by now"

Dylan lets out a hearty chuckle, remembering her sisters distaste to the man she had chosen.

"Mom" AJ asks as she walks up to her mother. "Ma sent me to check if you were OK. She asked that I said it a little more subtly than this" Quinn laughs and wraps her arm around her youngest.

"I'm fine baby girl. I want you to meet someone, this is your Aunt Dylan. Dylan this is my youngest AJ"

"This is the bitch that wouldn't see Grandma because of you, Ma and Madeline?"

"ALYSSA JOY FABRAY, where in god's name did you hear that?" She has a sinking feeling it comes from the mouth of her lovely wife. Oh how she'll kill her later.

"Ma. On one of her random rants. She even called her a bitch and Grandma laughed"

"I'm so sorry Dylan" Quinn says trying to apologise to her sister. "My child has no manners. Get back over to your mama and tell her she's in serious trouble now. I'm sorry" Dylan smiles at the adorableness of her sister and her family. She can't believe she thought her sister must be unhappy all these years, living the life of sin. Looking at her now, she sees a woman with a family who adore her and a family who wouldn't judge her.

"Are you happy?" Dylan asks and Quinn looks at her in shock.

"Not today. It's my mother's funeral, but in general yes. I have a big family, I have a fantastic job and I have my soul mate by my side"

"Do you ever feel" She back tracks making sure she doesn't get kicked out. "I'm not saying anything bad, but do you ever feel guilty? After all the stuff dad drilled into us about homosexuality, I would've thought..." Quinn shakes her head.

"When I started thinking about Rachel in that way, I hated myself for it, I even thought of" She shakes her head, trying to forget the bad memories of what she nearly did to herself. "Doing some things unimaginable now. After she kissed me, no I have never felt bad about being in love Dylan. Have you ever felt bad about hating me for my lifestyle?"

Dylan shakes her head.

"I've never hated you Quinn. I had my husband and my father on at me all the time about you and I... I thought it was safer if I stay away. I never hated you and I am glad you are happy"

"That means a lot Dylan" Quinn says with an honest smile. "Come on, let me introduce you to my family. Mad's?" She says and the blonde turns around with a smile.

"Uh hi. I'm Maddie" She extends her hand for her 'Aunt' to shake.

"I'm Dylan. Nice to meet you. You look so much like your mother it's scary" Madeline and Quinn laugh at this, knowing that if she thought Maddie looked like Quinn then she should wait till she saw Grace.

"Wait till you meet Grace. She's her clone. These two devils are my kids. Beth & Bradley. My daughter Katie is playing over there"

"Nice to meet you"

Quinn directs Dylan in the direction of the living room in search for Grace. She then sees Santana glaring at her she sighs and walks over towards her best friend, who is standing next to Olivia who is holding hands with Emma. This could cause Dylan to flare up, but she looks surprised when she just looks at their hands and then back up to Santana. "This can't be Santana Lopez. Look at you"

Santana doesn't miss a beat. "This can't be the bitch that hurt my best friend can it? Oh wait yes it is. I'm out of here" She walks away leaving Quinn to apologise.

"Sorry about her. This is Olivia. My daughter and this is Emma her girlfriend. Liv this is your Aunt Dylan" Olivia quickly drops Emma's hand knowing how her 'Aunt' thinks from past stories, and holds her other hand out for her to shake. Dylan shakes the hand but still is staring between the couple.

"I've got all the food out now mom" She smiles at Jacob, and he stands up straighter when he sees the other woman in the room, knowing this must be some relation of his mothers.

"Jake this is your Aunt Dylan. Dylan this is my son Jacob"

"What a handsome young man you have here Quinn" Quinn chuckles and wraps her arms around her son. With Rachel's genes they knew he was never going to be tall, thank god they chose a tall donor however, and the boy was standing over Quinn at 6 foot.

"God please don't inflate his ego Dylan. Please" He chuckles. "He's not only married to someone so gorgeous she should be a model, but he's a Michelin stared chef as well. He can't handle much more"

Jacob puffs out his chest and pouts making Quinn laugh out loud. "Hey. I'm insulted. I better get back to Charlie. It's not fair to leave him with the triplets for this long" He smiles at Dylan. "Nice to meet you Dylan" Quinn chuckles when her son walks over to his three babies and they all smile at the sight of him. Despite having a big ego, he has a heart bigger than Rachel's. They realised he was a talented chef back when he was only 13, and finally managed to teach Quinn to properly cook.

"He's the father of triplets?" Quinn nods. "He doesn't look old enough"

"He's 27 and they've actually got five kids" Dylan's mouth opens in shock at the news. "They had Rose when they were only 21. It was an accident, but he's a fantastic father. They had Ethan when they were 23 and then had the triplets last year. It's a handful for them, but they're amazing"

Dylan smiles. "I can imagine" She looks over the room and her eyes widen and mouth opens again when she spots a woman coming in their direction. "Let me guess, that's your other daughter?"

Quinn looks over and sees her daughter walking across the room, handing out little pieces of food for everyone. On one hip however she has 2 year old Patrick, who had taken nothing from Will but was all Grace.

"That's Grace. Maddie told you she looked like me"

"I see what you mean. I bet before you got wrinkles she really was your clone"

Rachel steps up and laughs at the look on Quinn's face. "Never mention the wrinkles. You might as well walk before she beats you. I mentioned she had a few grey hairs a few years ago and she wouldn't talk to me for 2 weeks"

"Seriously?"

Quinn wraps her arms around her wife, seriously not caring about her sister now and buries her neck in the nape of Rachel's neck and nods softly. "I wish mom was here"

Rachel nods and runs her fingers through her wife's blonde hair. Despite a few grey hairs, she was still as blonde as she was when she was 15. Rachel was the one that had to spend every few weeks getting her hair dyed. "I know baby. I know, I wish she was here too. She would be proud of you baby" She kisses her cheek. "You are overcoming everything to talk to your sister, you are pretty amazing"

"I know. I love you"

"Love you too beautiful. My dad should be here soon"

"Brilliant" She looks at her sister who is trying to not look disgusted at the interaction between Rachel and Quinn. "I haven't properly introduced you yet. Dylan this is my wife Rachel. Rae this is Dylan, my older and uglier sister" Rachel smacks her arm after that comment and Dylan chuckles and smiles at the sight in front of her. Despite being slightly grossed out, she found the sight in front of her to be confusing. This wasn't wrong, they were happy and looked like they had just begun dating.

"She's doing it as well" Rachel states and Quinn looks at Dylan for a second before laughing.

"Doing what?"

"Looking at us like you are shocked at the way we act. Yes we do argue. Yes I feel like smacking her every now and then" Rachel smacks her for this comment. "Ow. Love you too babe. Yes we are like this the majority of the time. We're just sickenly happy"

Rachel smiles. "You should see our arguments though. Explosive sometimes. No violence, never any violence other than what happened there"

"We broke up once when we were 18. It lasted 4 years. We're not prepared to go back to that ever again"

Dylan smiles and decides to say what's on her mind, now that Matthew or her father are not around. "You are very cute together. I'll give you that. You fit"

"Thank you Dylan"

Quinn hugs her wife. "AJ told her you called her a bitch earlier"

Rachel's eyes widen as she tries to think back to when she did call her a bitch. "Oh yeah. Well I had never met you, and I was just going from what Quinn said" She kisses her quick before fleeing. "Bye babe. Bye Dylan"

"I apologise. I love my family but they are rather strange"

May 26th 2050

AJ is lying in her mama's bed snuggled up to her side whilst they watch a re-run of Funny Girl on the TV.

"Why did you adopt me mama?"

"What? Baby why are you asking me this?"

AJ just shrugs in response. "You already had the other 4, why would you want me as well?"

Rachel nods, fair enough question. "As you know I'm adopted as well, we wanted to give a child the life I had and the life your brother and sisters have had."

"But why me?"

Rachel sighs. "The first day we saw you we knew, you had this gorgeous blond hair like your mom and then my eyes. You were perfect. You looked so unhappy and we just wanted to make you smile sweetie. You're our baby girl and we love you so damn much." A bad thought comes into her mind. "Are you not happy with us? Is this why you are asking about it?"

"No" AJ reassures her. "I love you mom. I love my life, I'm just curious why you chose me. It's nice to know"

"We chose you AJ Fabray because you are an amazing little girl" She kisses her forehead and hopes that enough for the little girl.
