-Chapter-11-

-Quinn pov-

Today has been a long one. Rachel not gone back to big yet. She is still playing with Beth like she did yesterday. She did not even struggle when diapers were brought out.

Santana has also been of no help. I am a little more lenient with the reason behind that though. I can not imagine having to kill my dad. She got a usb from him and has been trying to find any patients who lived the transformation process.

I groan when I hear crying and see it is Rachel. I pick her up and she keeps crying. What am I missing right now? What time even is it?

"Welcome to taking care of a baby" I look at Shelby confused as she picks up Beth "You have no idea what they want so now we have the guessing game"

"I hate guessing games" I bounce Rachel on my hip "What could she want?"

"Well she does not stink so not a change and she does not seem to be getting" Shelby looks at me with a smile "Have you two chosen if she will be breastfeeding or bottle? I would say breast is the best for bonding"

"I Uhh" I shake my head and walk to the kitchen "I think we have bottles somewhere"

"Ok" I hear Shelby laughing behind me "You are so easy to make blush! You and your mom are so alike!"

"Please do not tell me things I do not want to know" I quickly find everything for a bottle and make one for Rachel "We good now Rach?"

She drinks but still is fussy "Sometimes they go to sleep while drinking" I look at Shelby who smiles as she feeds Beth "I always sing to Beth and rock her in a chair"

"I guess that would not hurt" Shelby nods and I follow her back to the living room "Could you sing for the both of us?"

Shelby is hesitant but nods. I feel like she knows something I do not. Shelby gets Beth situated before rocking. Shelby smiles and slowly starts to sing.

-Shelby singing-

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind.

He broke his own heart and I watched

As he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore

That she would never let herself forget.

And that was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

But darling,

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul

That love never lasts.

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.

Or keep a straight face.

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable distance.

And up until now I have sworn to myself

That I'm content with loneliness.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Well you are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality,

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

And I'm on my way to believing.

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

I smile at the duo as I see Beth asleep. My smiles disappears when I feel Rachel touch my face. She is still awake. I look up at Shelby and know this is what she was all hesitant about.

I look down at Rachel and then up when I hear footsteps. Santana stands in front of me with a smile on her face. Shelby stands up slowly and walks out of the room. Now it is just us three.

"She been good?" I nod and Santana sits beside me "I am sorry I have not been helping today"

"You had to do something no one wants to" She looks away and I sigh "You want to hold her?"

"Are we doing this right?" Santana looks at me with tears in her eyes "She was forced into this mindset and life...should we go see her and get Rachel changed back?"

"I think that is a discussion for grown up Rachel" Santana sighs before nodding "I do however need to get this one to take a nap...if you do not want to hold her you want to sing?"

"Sure" Santana smiles "I can sing for my princessa"

-Santana singing-

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun

It's all right

It's all right

Rachel's eyes are droopy but she is still fighting it. Even in this mindset she is stubborn. I look at Santana and she smiles. I guess I am up next.

-Quinn singing-

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I will never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the Earth for you

To make you feel my love

To make you feel my love

Rachel's eyes are finally shut and her breathing is even. I lay my head on Santana shoulder and smile. This feels so right and comfortable. I feel like this is how things should be.

I know Rachel was forced into this though. We will have to talk to her when she can be bigger. There is someone who can turn her back normal. Is it bad that I hope she does not want to?

I want to keep her like this forever. I enjoy finally having her in my life. I enjoy finally being free to be with her. I enjoy finally being in love with my two mates.

"We will do everything we can" Santana kisses the top of my head "I will make sure you two are safe and sound"

"We want you with us you know" I can feel her nod her head "What is going to happen?"

"We will eventually be found out" Santana sighs before continuing "It depends on what people do then on if we have to leave or we can stay"

"She wants New York" I look at the girl in my arms "We are going to give her the world"

"Yes we will" Santana leans into us more "She will never be alone again"

I smile at the warmth of this. I love these two so much. I want to have so many more days like this. I would give anything to have days like this.

I just hope there does not come a time where that has to come into play.
