AN: I can't really remember but I think I've changed the order of things in the episode that this is based on but it made most sense to do it this way.

Read and review :)

Chapter 19

"You know…" I start, rolling onto my side to face Quinn, who's lying next to me in my bed. "Although we've done… stuff, I find it slightly disconcerting that we haven't actually seen each other naked, like fully naked. We've even said we love each other."

"Is that you're way of saying you want me to strip?"

"Well… in a sense yes, but I was only bringing it up so we could discuss it."

"We don't need to talk about it babe." She winks, sitting up. "Our relationship is fine, perfect even. So, I'm going to take a shower, if you're that fussed with seeing me naked maybe you'll join me."

I sit, stunned until I hear the water running in the shower and I jump up before heading towards the door to my ensuite, which Quinn has left unlocked.

I push open the door and gasp at the sight of Quinn's naked form through the frosted glass, I couldn't make out any details but even the outline of her looked hot.

Undressing quickly, I walk towards the shower, slightly nervous until I reach forward and open the shower door and am greeted by the shining hazel eyes of my girlfriend.

I step into the shower before letting my eyes roam over her dripping wet body, my gaze following the water running over her curves all the way down to her pink toenails.

I feel her hand on my hip and look back up into her eyes.

"You're stunning new girl."

"Not so bad yourself Fabray." I tease before pulling her head down for a kiss.

"Babe, I need to talk to you about something."

I turn to face a very worried looking Quinn and pull her into the nearest classroom before waiting for her to talk.

"So you know how Sue was planning to shoot Britt out of a canon?"

I nod, not daring to interrupt her.

"Well she just cornered us in the bathroom and is basically making us choose between cheerleading and glee. I don't know what to do, I know who I am out of this uniform and I'm not sure I'm ready for her to make another appearance, I mean I literally rated all of the people in the glee club by looks."

I wince slightly at her confession but let her continue.

"But at the same time, I love glee and I get to see you and hear you sing. There's also the fact that I don't really want Britt to die." She chuckles.

"You just need to think about which makes you happier, but first I want you to come to glee because I've planned something to sing to you and it may be my last opportunity."

Quinn nods so I lead her out of the classroom and towards the choir room.

"Trust me Rach, you can sing to me whenever you want."

After Mr Schuester has explained that the football team is joining us for the week so they can learn how to be more of a team, Puck and I get up to sing.

As we sing 'Need You Now' my eyes never leave Quinn's and I can tell she's still trying to make up her mind so while Puck is singing I blow her a kiss and mouth 'I love you' and she smiles as I watch her relax and enjoy the performance.

When all the football guys begin fighting after our performance I feel slim arms wrap around my waist and pull me out of the way.

"My hero." I giggle, turning in Quinn's arms to face her as the boys continue to brawl behind me.

"I think I'm going to pick the Cheerios." She blurts out, before releasing me from her hold and walking out of the choir room.

Santana and Brittany follow her but not before Brittany looks over her shoulder at me and gives me a sad look and a small wave.

I turn back to the glee club but it seems I'm the only one to notice the absence of the unholy trinity.

"Quinn I know you don't want me to do this but trust me, it'll be fine, I'll be fine. I've got my dads to agree but I really don't want to do this if you're going to be mad at me."

"I just don't want you to get hurt baby." She pouts, wrapping her arms around me.

I lead her over to her bed and sit on the edge with her.

"I won't, the girls and I are just going to lie down when the whistle blows. It's purely about numbers."

"But… I'm not going to be there to look out for you."

"Well you're the one who chose cheerleading." I tease, before seeing the hurt in her eyes. "I'm messing babe, you know I support your decision, it was up to you and honestly I'm proud of you for choosing what you love over who you love, it means you won't wordlessly follow me through life rather than following your own dreams and I'd feel guilty if you did that."

Quinn grins again and leans forward to kiss me.

"So will you let me do this, for our friends?" I ask, pulling away from her delectable lips.

"Are you kidding Rach? After you've just got done saying you're proud of me for doing what I want to, I'd be very hypocritical if I didn't let you do this." She laughs.

During the football game, Mercedes, Tina and I stay lying down whilst Lauren and the boys play, but we still get slaughtered in the first half and Tina gets injured when she gets up to play.

"Hey, where are you going?" Finn asks when I walk off the field at half time.

"To get us some cheerleaders, you figure out how to get the rest of your team back and maybe we can get a win out of this."

Finn nods and jogs off to talk to Puck whilst I run towards the car park, hoping the Cheerios hadn't left yet.

"Hey!" I shout as I spot Quinn, Santana and Brittany climbing onto the bus.

"Please don't go, we need you." I beg as they all turn to face me. "You might think you aren't strong enough to do this, to lose your status but I know you are, you all are. Plus wouldn't you rather let Brittany live?" I laugh.

"I'm in." Quinn grins. "But I'm doing this for me, not for you." She winks.

"Yeah screw Sue, she put me on the bottom of the pyramid." Santana points out.

"And I really don't want to die." Brittany adds.

"Let's go then." I smile, intertwining my fingers with Quinn's and walking back to the football field with the three girls I never expected would become my everything.

After an amazing halftime show, the football team manages to play even better than ever before and come together to win the game.

I squeal and jump into Quinn's arms as we watch the boys celebrate from the side-lines.

"We did it." I grin.

"No, you did it." She corrects before pulling me down for a kiss.
