Our Love Was Always Forever
Chapter 15 -The New Jesse
Quinton groaned at the loud sound blaring though his bedroom and tried to reach toward the noise with closed eyes. When he tried getting up he could and looked down to find the source of the problem. Jen asleep with her head resting on his bare chest with one arm draped across his torso. He smiled before leaning down and kissing the girl's hair and untangling himself from her and walking toward his cell phone which has stopped ringing now.
He picked the device up only to see a missed call from his Mom. He groaned and decided to call her back after he was decent.
"Hmm you're so sexy." He heard coming from the direction of the bed and turned around to see Jen wide awake.
He grinned before he walked back to the bed and sat on the edge. "Morning." he greeted only to get pulled in into a kiss.
"Mm" Jen moaned as she rubbed at Quinn's chest, running her fingers against his abs.
The blonde hums inside the brunette's mouth and he felt his boxers tighten before he pulled away and stood up off the bed.
"What's wrong?" Jen asked, sounding confused.
The blonde blushed shyly, looking down at himself. The brunette followed his gaze and burst into fits of laughter.
"It's not funny." he whined and pouted at the still laughing girl.
"Aw baby, you a little excited?" she asked before laughing even harder as she got out bed to approach him.
"It's really not funny." he said again as Jen wrapped one of her arms around his neck as she rubbed the back of his head.
"Aw you're so cute." she said kissing his nose and the blonde continues to pout, "Oh stop pouting. It's cute, you're cute. I love you." the brunette said and the room instantly went silence.
"What?" Quinton questioned quiet shocked and surprised.
Oh shit. Jen thought as the two stood in the same position they were in.

Rachel walked out of her room with her pjs still on. The brunette wasn't feeling well, so she called in sick as much as it pained her to so since that the only way she could see Isabella. God, how she missed her baby girl already.
She walked inside her kitchen and put on the kettle to make tea as she waited for the water to heat up. The brunette took a seat at the table and thought of about her talk with Noah yesterday. She just needed to give Quinton time but time was wasting. This Jen character, who she still had yet to meet and give her a piece of her mind, and Santana still worried her. God that woman was like the she devil herself, seriously.
The brunette jumped a little as the kettle squealed and stopped indicating that it was done. She walked around the kitchen and got out things she need for her tea. After she was done making it she sat back down and sipped her drink.
She still hadn't seen Jesse for days now. She had no idea where he was, and that was just sad, but the saddest thing was that she didn't even care. Jesse was a grown 24 year old man who could look after himself. He knew right from wrong, mostly, he didn't need Rachel's guidance and like he said on so many occasions.
She kept sipping on her hot steaming tea before her thoughts drifted to her and Quinton's confrontation on Friday. She wondered what this Jen girl looked like. Was she pretty? Should she be worried? Then it shifted to Quinton himself, the blonde has changed so much. Hof course had grown into this handsome man, he has always been a handsome boy but now he was even more handsome if that were at all possible.
Rachel can see the three of them just sitting on the couch watching a TV. The two lovers were cuddling together while their beautiful adorable daughter was laying her head on Quinn's chest. The family shared small conversation and laughed at anything. They were so happy.
"Hey baby." The brunette was snapped out of her beautiful dreamland as she felt a wet kiss against her cheek.
She looked up and groaned internally, "Where have you been?" Rachel asked.
"I'm so sorry I haven't been home lately but I promised myself I won't come home until I found a job." He explained, taking a seat beside Rachel and holding her hand, "And baby, I got a job!" he cheered leaning over and kissing Rachel.
Am I dreaming or Jesse is acting...human? The brunette wondered to herself.
"Why aren't you at work?" he questioned standing up to make himself some coffee "You okay? You're not ill or anything right?" he asked with concern.
OK now I'm scared Rachel thought, "Um no, I just thought it'll be a good idea to stay home today, I'm fine." Rachel said, still looking weirdly, especially when she saw the concern in Jesse's eyes.
"Good, I can't stand seeing you hurt." he said before downing the black liquid in one go, "All right I'm gonna go and grab a shower than I'll tell you all about my job and find out how your days have been." He kissed her cheek before picking his jacket behind the chair and turning to leave, "Oh Rach?" he asked and the brunette looked at him, "I love you." he smiled, a sincere and genuine smile before walking away.
What kind of twilight zone have I entered, Rachel wondered by the boy's change of attitude. Why was Jesse acting so nice? Maybe he knows about my plan and his doing this so we will feel guilty about it. The brunette's conscience told her, nah if he did then he would've of blew up instead of acting nice. Something is up, he's up to something but what? She asks herself.
Should we be afraid? Rachel's subconscious asks. It's Jesse we talking about here so yeah, we should.

"Hello." Santana said through her office telephone as she tried to sort out the next case she was battling.
"Miss. Lopez a Miss. Jen Smith is here to see you, should I let her in?" the Latina heard her secretary ask.
"Yeah sure, let her in." She answered before putting down the phone and few seconds later someone was knocking on her door. "Come in." she said as the door opened and in walked Jen.
The Latina smirked when she saw the younger girl walk in, "Please sit." She instructed and the brunette took a seat in front of her, "To what do I own the honour?" Santana asked, leaning on her folded knuckles.
Jen sighed "You know don't you?" she asked, cutting to the chase.
Santana rolls her eyes before chuckling loudly "Of course I know, Q is best friend if you haven't forgotten. He tells me and Puck anything." answered the Latina lawyer.
Jen sighed again, she should've known, "And I also know that you're avoiding him, why I don't know. So why are you avoiding him Jen?" Santana asked, one eyebrow raised.
"You're kidding me right now, right?" Jen asked loudly, "I just flat out embarrassed myself by saying the L word to the first guy that I ever cared about!" she said groaning.
Santana laughed, "I don't know why you're beating yourself up for kid, you have the most nicest guy a girl could ask for. A little slip up shouldn't matter, trust me when I say this, you don't want to let go of Q for a second." Santana said seriously
Jen looked at the older girl and saw that she was being completely serious. Was there someone after Quinn? "Why do you say that?" she asked.
Because Berry is back and where there's a Berry there's a whipped teenager boy named Quinn. "No reason, but just talk to him. If you'll tell him it was a joke fine or if you're going to tell him that you meant it is up to you but talk to him and sort it out before is too late." she advised.
"You're right," Jen said, running her hand through her long locks, "but what do I say or where would I even start?" she asked desperately.
"What do you think I am kid? I'm a lawyer not a relationship guru, jeez!" Santana exclaimed, annoyed that she needed to help with Q's relationship.

"Bells! Dinner!" The blonde called up to his daughter as he placed her food on the island. He could hear small feet running down the stairs.
"What's for dinner Daddy?" Isabella asked as she placed her Barbie Doll down and slid herself up on the stool.
"Chicken curry with rice, garlic bread and for desert...chocolate cake." he said, grinning at the wide smile on the girl's face.
"Mm, yummy!" Isabella said, before picking up her fork and digging into her meal, "Where's Jen Daddy?" she asked after chewing and swallowing her mouthful. She was a lady.
Quinton sighed a little, but then put on a smile since he didn't want Isabella seeing him like that. "She's at her parent's home baby" He answered simply, as he too took a seat to eat with his daughter.
"Is everything alight?" Despite him trying to hide that something is wrong from Lizzy the little girl knew something was wrong.
"Yeah, everything is fine; she just missed her mom and dad since she's been spending a lot of time here." He explained with a smile. "Don't worry about anything okay?" He said and Bella nodded "Good girl, now eat your dinner." he instructed to her who then proceed to eating while Quinn glanced her at.
He still couldn't believe that Rachel was back and wanted Isabella. He really wanted to give Rachel another chance with the girl but after what happened last time, he just couldn't bring himself to. Isabella was five almost six which meant she understood more despite Quinn trying his hardest for her to stay as innocent as possible. If he risked it and gave Rachel another chance and it turn out that the brunette decided to leave, where would that leave Isabella?
She'll be devastated. Quinn didn't want his daughter getting hurt; he wouldn't let her get hurt. His thoughts were cut short by the ringing doorbell. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, excusing himself from the little brunette before standing up and walking toward the door.
When he opened it he was shock to see who it was since he hasn't planned for them to show up "Hey" The person said quietly
"Hi, come on in." Quinton said, stepping to the side and letting the visitor in before shutting the door behind them, "Look I-" His sentence was cut short by a pair of lips in his.
The blonde groaned as he felt fingers run through his short blonde hair and he instantly wrapped his arms around a slim waist and deepened the kiss. When air became an issue the two pulled away from the kiss and rested their foreheads together.
"What was that for?" he questioned, a little dazed but a smile on his face nevertheless.
"I was an idiot for running off earlier and I'm sorry. Yeah I'm in love with you, and I'm not ashamed to admit it." Jen said with her arms wrapped around Quinn's neck.
"Jen I-" he was cut off by a kiss again.
"Sshh, don't." the brunette said as she place her finger against his lips, "Don't worry about saying it back, I know we've only been dating for a few weeks so I don't except you to say it back. I have been feeling like this for a long time now." She explained; "I was just afraid to say it but I'm not anymore because I do love you." she smiled.
"I care about you very much." the blonde said truthfully.
"And that's good enough for me." Jen said bringing the blonde toward her face, their lips hovering over each other, "For now." she whispered before letting their lips connect with each others.
When oxygen became an issue they pulled away, "I'm glad we're okay." Quinton said and Jen nodded her head in agreement, "Come on, Bells has been asking me about you." Quinton said taking the girl's hand into his and walking them toward the kitchen.
"Hey baby, look who's here." he announced once they walked in.
"Jen!" Isabella yells happily, running toward the girl, Jen bends down and picked her up. "You're here!" she added with a smile looking toward her dad than at the older brunette.
"Hey sweet girl," she cooed, kissing her cheek. "Of course I am, I didn't go anywhere and I'm not going anywhere." She said before looking to Quinn for confirmation to her declaration.
The blonde flashed her a charming smile to which Jen just blushed as she cradle Isabella to her.

"Sweetie, dinner!" Rachel heard so she walked out her bedroom a little confused. Since Jesse showed up this morning he had been the sweetest to Rachel had ever seen.
He gave her message and a foot rub when they were sitting on the couch having a conversation. Not an argument or a fight, but an actual conversation where he asked about her day and he told her about his new job then he went as far to ask how her kids in class were and if any of them were being naughty to her. Rachel Berry was officially weirded out by her husband's change of personality.
"You cooked?" she asked, not even hiding her surprise. Since when does he even know how to cook?
Jesse chuckled nervously, he was never nervous even when he first asked her out, "Yeah, I uh kind of found some vegan receipt on Google and thought I should try it." he answered.
"Here sit." He said while pulling out a chair for her. The brunette hadn't gotten a chair pulled out for her since she dated Quinton.
"Thank you." she said as Jesse sat himself down.
"Hope you like it, I haven't try it myself yet but I'm sure it'll taste good." he said picking up his fork.
"Wait your going to eat this too?" She asked, shocked.
Jesse looked up at her, eyes shining with adoration l. That's freaky, "Yeah I mean you're my wife and I gotta try what you like too some times, right?" Jesse explained, "Now dig in." he said as he started eating.
Rachel looked at the man in front of her and felt a wave of emotion pass her. She didn't know what to feel anymore. She felt shocked and speechless, Jesse's behaviour but now he was just freaking her out.
What's his plan? I don't know but everyone has motives and somehow I feel like Jesse's aren't good ones. What are we going to do? Nothing, yet. We keep an eye on him and watch his moves because there's no way that Jesse freaking St. James can just disappear for five days than come back a saint. Just no way.
