I do not own Glee or any of the characters created by Ryan Murphy. If I did we would see way more of Shelby. This story will contain spanking of a teenager. If that's not your thing stop reading now and go read something else.

Chapter 22
"I still can't believe you knew I'd go down the trellis," Rachel was watching her mother pace in front of her.
"I still can't believe you tried to leave this house," Shelby countered.
"Well, technically I did leave the house," Rachel's reply stopped at the look her mother gave her.
"Rachel, now is not the time to be technical with me," Shelby warned.
"Yeah, funny enough, I figured that out for myself."
Taking a deep breath Shelby pinched the bridge of her nose, "Rachel Barbra Berry, it would be in your best interest to close your mouth right now and keep it closed."
"But Mama…"
"I said to be quiet, Rachel." Shelby's voice was deadly calm and Rachel finally tried to stop talking.
"As of right now you have exceeded all of my expectations for things I never thought my daughter would do," Shelby began. "Therefore, I think that the punishment should fit the crimes. Hear that Rachel? Crimes, plural." Making sure that Rachel was still paying attention Shelby sat on the coffee table in front of the couch where Rachel was now sitting.
"This is what is going to happen," Shelby began. "You are grounded until I deem otherwise. Do not ask me when the grounding is over because I haven't decided yet. I am currently thinking a month is a nice round number, it may be reduced, it may be extended. It all depends on you, Rachel. In addition to the usual rules for my groundings, you have earned a spanking. I think you already knew that though.
You are going to go to your room, Rachel. You are going to collect all of your electronics and put them on your desk. You are then going to take a shower and get ready for bed. You will then come downstairs and we will eat. I imagine the pizza will be here by then. After that you will go back to your room and wait for me. Do you have any questions?"
"No Mama," Rachel whispered.
Putting her fingers under Rachel's chin Shelby lifted it to look into her daughter's deep eyes. "I love you, Rachel and nothing will ever change that." Standing Shelby kissed the top of Rachel's head and ran her hand down the girl's face. "Go do what I told you to do, Rachel."
Slowly standing up Rachel fell into her mother's arms when Shelby opened them to her. "I love you too, Mama."
"Alright sweetie go get your shower and get down here quickly." Encouraging Rachel with a few gentle pats to her bottom Shelby watched the girl slowly drag herself up the stairs, already sniffing.
Sitting on the couch Shelby sighed and looked at the clock. It wasn't even 6.30 and she felt as if it was already midnight. Not looking forward to the rest of her evening Shelby wondered how her parents found the strength to get through her teen years. Rachel was her all over again.
***GLEE****GLEE****GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***
Sighing heavily Shelby grabbed her purse as the doorbell rang again. "I'm coming!" she called before muttering to herself about impatient pizza delivery people.
Opening the door Shelby was shoved out of the way unexpectedly, "Where do you want the pizzas, Ethel?"
"Billie Jean?"
"In the flesh," Sue Sylvester looked down at Shelby. "I paid your pizza boy out there."
"But I only ordered one pizza," Shelby protested leading Sue into the kitchen.
"Yeah, and that's what I took off the kid's hands. I brought this other one with me." Placing the boxes on the stovetop Sue turned and appraised Shelby. "So where's Yentl?"
"In her room doing what I asked if she knows what's good for her," Shelby replied getting the paper plates from the cupboard.
Opening the fridge she looked back at Sue, "Beer or something else?"
"Beer sounds good." Sue sat at the table and watched Shelby quietly. "I know you probably weren't expecting me, thus the peace offering of pizza."
"And for that I thank you," Shelby placed a can of beer in front of Sue and then sat, her own can in front of her. "So what does bring you here, Billie Jean?"
"Yentl. I've already paid Lopez and her parents a visit, and decided it was now your turn. I just wanted to let you know what I had in mind for my head Cheerio and your offspring for the stunt they pulled."
"How did you find out about it?" Shelby asked.
"I have my ways, Ethel." Sue took a swig of beer. "Anyway, I'd like to eat and get this show on the road. Where's the jailbird?"
Shaking her head Shelby moved from her seat and made her way to the stairs, "Rachel, the pizza is here. Come down now."
"I'm not hungry!"
"Now Rachel! Do not make me come up there!" Shelby called up the stairs finally relaxing when she heard her daughter's footsteps begin to head her way. Returning to the kitchen Shelby smirked upon finding Sue and a half eaten slice of what seemed to be a meat lover type pizza.
"Is that the meat explosion from Columbos?"
Sue nodded and swallowed. "Sure is," nodding to the unopened box the cheerleading coach smirked. "I figure that one is nothing but cheese with a salad on top."
Light footsteps stopped at the kitchen door and Shelby said nothing as she grabbed a slice of Sue's pizza before adding a slice of the veggie covered pizza she had ordered. "Rachel come in and get some pizza." Shelby finally addressed her daughter. "Billie Jean has something to share with us about your stunt today."
Saying nothing Rachel picked up a plate and placed a large slice of pizza on it. Grabbing a bottle of water from the refrigerator the girl finally sat down at the round table. Sue and Shelby were sitting across from each other and Rachel tried not to feel like she was trapped between two bookends as she sat down. Remaining quiet Rachel began to eat her pizza.
"So Billie Jean, please tell us why you are here," Shelby offered when she realized Rachel wasn't going to speak.
"Thank you for asking, Ethel." Sue picked up her second slice of pizza and looked hard at Rachel. "After finding out what you and my devious cheerleader did today I decided that you needed to be reminded that such devious ways need to be guided, molded, as it were."
"I don't understand," Rachel responded.
"I didn't expect you to, but you will." Sue put her pizza down and sat back. "What you and Lopez did was sheer genius, Yentl. Getting me to be your scapegoat was not. Had you used Schuester in this manner I would be rewarding you both in some way." Sue eyed Shelby briefly before turning back to Rachel. "Life as you know it has ended, Ethel Jr. I expect you and Lopez on the field this Saturday and every Saturday until school is over. I may even decide to have you come Saturdays after that."
"What are we going to be doing?"
"Training for cross country," Sue grinned. "Since you wanted to use that course to get into shape, I'm planning to help you reach that goal." Picking up her pizza again Sue focused once more on Shelby. "Hope you don't mind her coming home and barely able to walk Ethel. It may not be walking on her hands or metal underwear, but it is my own brand of fun."
"As long as no permanent damage is done to the girl I see nothing wrong with what you're proposing."
"Mama!" Rachel protested. "How can you just give me over to Coach Sylvester? She hates me!"
"Hates you?" Shelby looked at Sue. "Do you hate my daughter, Billie Jean?"
"Hate her?" Sue shook her head before getting up and grabbing another slice of pizza along with a beer. Placing another can in front of Shelby as well she sat back down. "I'm not gonna lie to you Ethel. Yentl and her singing marionettes drive me insane at times, but I have to admit that I admire their tenacity. Not to mention their ability to stand up to taunts and the general disdain shown them on an almost daily basis. I promise you, Berry, I'm not going to cause any lasting punishment and maybe you'll learn something in your time with me."
"See Rachel," Shelby smiled at her daughter. "Billie Jean is merely annoyed by you. That is much different than hating you."
"Kill me now," Rachel mumbled before allowing her head to fall into her hands as her mother and Sue toasted with their beer cans over her head.
***GLEE****GLEE****GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***
The incessant dinging of her cell phone caused Shelby to groan. Reaching for the offending object she noticed that she was naked in her bed. Shaking the cobwebs from her head she picked up her phone and read the message. Shelby, I thought you'd like the post Rachel sent out to all her friends. I'll speak with you later, Maribel."
Hearing a noise next to her Shelby started, "What the fuck?! Not again!"
The lump in her bed moved and Shelby just stared as an equally naked Sue Sylvester sat up and looked at her through sleep blurred eyes. "How is it that we find ourselves in this position again, Ethel?" She yawned.
"I have no idea," Shelby groaned as her phone dinged again.
"Nice boobs, Ethel," Sue commented as she slid from the bed. "They're almost as good as your ass. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to brush my teeth and grab a shower before heading down for some leftover pizza."
Groaning Shelby pulled the sheet up over her chest before looking down at her phone. My dear friends, she read, It is with great sadness that I contact you and let you know that I will be unreachable via the usual means of electronic communication for the foreseeable future. I have once more been placed in the Shelby Corcoran grounding academy for teenage daughters. Do not ask me when I will once again have privileges other than those of a small toddler for I do not know. I hope to come out of my lockdown unscathed eventually. Wish me luck as I have also been informed that I will be participating in the Sue Sylvester boot camp from hell. Until later, Rachel.
"Perfect, just perfect," Shelby sighed as she texted Maribel a thank you. "God Shelby what were you thinking?" she muttered out loud. "Again with Billie Jean? How is it I always seem to end up drinking too much and naked in bed with her? How did it happen this time?" Finally stopping the dialog with herself Shelby flopped back onto the bed and merely lay there staring at the ceiling.
Hearing the shower stop, Shelby quickly slipped from the bed and pulled on a long t-shirt. Looking at the clock she hoped that Rachel wasn't up yet, or if she was that she was still in her room. Waiting a few moments more Shelby sighed in relief when Sue finally emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
"Nice shower?" Shelby asked.
"Very," Sue affirmed. "Though you need to get some vanilla scented stuff for me if we're going to make this a regular thing. That stuff you have in there now is just a bit too vocal coach for my liking."
"Well you seem to like this vocal coach just fine," Shelby responded.
"The coach yes," Sue grinned. "Just not her body wash or shampoo unless she's the one wearing it."
Shaking her head Shelby slipped past Sue, "If you'll excuse me I'm going to shower and will join you downstairs after I chat with Rachel."
"No problem, Ethel."
***GLEE****GLEE****GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***GLEE***
Knocking gently Shelby entered the same way, "Rachel?" Shelby smiled to find her daughter still in her bed sleeping. Sitting down on the edge of the bed Shelby gently rubbed Rachel's back to wake her up.
"Mama?" Sitting up slowly Rachel slowly focused on the woman next to her. "What did you wake me up for?"
"It's ten, Rachel. I thought it was time for you to be up. Besides I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your text."
"My text?" Rachel tried to scoot back but was stopped when her mother climbed into the bed next to her and pulled her into a side hug.
"Yes my darling daughter, your text," Shelby handed her phone to Rachel. "By the looks of this you sent it out around 11:00 last night, at least five hours after I'd grounded you. Care to tell me how that is possible?"
"Well Mama it's like this," Rachel began. "After you decided to head to your room to find some sweats or something for Coach I realized you must have fallen asleep."
"And?"
"And I decided that I needed to send a farewell text to my friends. After all it's not like I'm going to be able to have contact with the outside world for quite some time."
"You're grounded, Rachel, not being sent to Siberia," Shelby deadpanned.
"Same difference in this house," Rachel quipped.
"Yes, I'm sure that those that suffered in the Gulag would agree with you." Shelby rolled her eyes. "I am sorry about not being able to deal with you last night, Rachel. I guess I did fall asleep before being able to hold you to the punishment prescribed yesterday."
"Yeah," Rachel leaned her head on her mother's shoulder. "Is Coach still here?"
"Why do you ask?"
"She went up to check on you when you never came back down and she never came out of your room before I went to bed. I figured she passed out too."
"When exactly did you go to bed, Rachel?"
"A little after midnight."
Shelby sighed, "In answer to your question Sue did fall asleep in my room. She's downstairs having leftover pizza. I am heading there soon and as soon as she's gone you and I will have that conversation I promised you."
"It's okay if you decide we don't need that conversation," Rachel tried.
"Oh but we do need to have it," Shelby assured her daughter. Kissing Rachel on the temple Shelby smiled at her gently. "Time for you to get up and come down for something to eat. Then you can head back upstairs and wait in your room for me."
"So you're letting me have a last meal?" Rachel asked.
"Something like that," Shelby sighed at her child's dramatics. "Not too long, Rachel."
"Okay Mama," Rachel sighed as her mother slid out of the bed and headed towards the door. "Mama?"
Stopping Shelby turned back to her daughter, "Yes?"
"Please tell me that you and Sue were at least dressed this time."
Taking a deep breath Shelby opened the door, "No more than twenty minutes, Rachel," she directed before slipping through the door and heading down to the kitchen.
