CHAPTER SIX
It had been about two weeks since Rachel and Quinn started doing whatever it is they were doing and the pair couldn't be happier.
The two were laying on Quinn's bed, entangled with each other. Rachel was lightly stroking Quinn's hair while the blonde was sound asleep.
Rachel's phone began vibrating on the end table next to her. She moved as quickly as she could to Quinn's bathroom, trying not to wake the sleeping blonde in the process.
Rachel didn't even check the caller ID before answering, "Hello?"
"RACHEL, DARLING!" it was her dads.
Rachel pulled her ear away from the receiver while her parents calmed down, "Hi dads."
"How have you been? We've barely heard a peep from you since you've moved into your fancy new home," Her dad Leroy said.
Rachel chuckled softly, "Daddy, I text you guys every day!"
"I know sweetie but it's not the same as hearing your voice," Hiram argued.
"Fair enough. Well every thing is fine here. Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh are very nice" Rachel didn't want to lie to her dads but she couldn't tell them she was in a relationship with her boss. "How are things in Ohio?"
"Oh same ole, same ole. That darn McKinley High show choir is still just fabulous! Though its not the same without our star!"
"Oh please dads, stop that," Rachel was blushing.
"What, we can't be proud of our only daughter? We love you Rachel."
"I love you guys too, are you guys planning a trip here any time soon?"
"Well, your daddy and I have a break soon we could come up for a few days. Do you think the fabulous Quinn McIntosh would let us stay in her home?"
"That would be so inappropriate dad! This is there home not a hotel," Rachel chastised.
"We're just kidding, darling. What's got you wound up so tight and why are you whispering?"
"Well it is 8 am and I don't want to wake anyone."
"Well I guess that's our cue to leave. We love you baby!"
"Love you too, bye!" Rachel hung up and went back to lay with her lovely girlfriend.
Quinn was sitting up looking a little distraught.
"Quinn, sweetie, are you alright?"
Quinn looked incredibly relieved to see Rachel, "I—I thought maybe you changed your mind about this…about us."
Rachel was heartbroken by Quinn's feelings, "Baby, I know I'm a little cautious, but I don't regret this one bit. I care about you and I'm willing to keep giving us a shot."
"I'm sorry, I just feel like I ask a lot of you. I mean how selfish am I? I'm asking you to compromise your work, your reputation, everything just to be with me."
Little did Quinn know, Rachel's reputation was already tarnished after the Johnson's. "Quinn, can I ask you something?"
Quinn laughed, "You technically just did, but what is it?"
"Why did you hire me? I had one reference from a woman I babysat for when I was sixteen and little to no experience."
Quinn sighed and patted her bed next to her, "Rachel, before I answer, may I ask why you're asking this?"
"I'm just curious, that's all." Rachel was more than curious. She wanted to know if the other woman knew about the incident with the Johnson's.
"If you're wondering if I listen to silly rumors that perverted men spread around town then no, not I do not. I hired you because you seemed very promising and bright."
Rachel wanted to cry, but she also wanted to tell Quinn the whole story, "Quinn you should know— "
Quinn cut her off, "It's okay Rachel, we don't have to talk about it."
Rachel took her up on her offer, "thank you Quinn," Rachel placed a soft kiss on Quinn's lips.
"What do you say we get started on some breakfast?" Quinn said getting out of bed and putting on her light-pink silk robe on.
"Sounds like a fabulous plan."
Quinn and Rachel made their way downstairs and were met with Biff sitting at the dining room table, drinking coffee and sitting across from Claire who was eating pancakes.
Rachel jumped away from Quinn liked she had been burned.
"Relax Rachel, I know"
"Good morning, Rach! Good morning, Mommy!" Claire said happily, then she paused and looked confused, "Rachel didn't say anything daddy."
Rachel was in shock of what Biff said. How does he know?
"Good morning my sweet baby, "Quinn brushed her hand along Rachel's back as she went to go kiss her daughter good morning.
"I—I Good morning Claire. Did you sleep well?" Rachel said, pulling herself together.
"I sure did," the tiny blonde said with a mouth full of pancakes.
"Miss Quinn, Rachel, would you guys like some pancakes and bacon?" Lola asked from the kitchen.
"The bacon is a heck yes for me and I'll make two boiled eggs in a second," Quinn replied.
"I'll grab some pancakes in just a second Lola, I need to go, um, to the restroom," Rachel said stumbling away.
"Rachel it's not polite to announce when you use the potty!" Claire shouted.
Quinn decided to go follow Rachel, because she knew the woman wasn't going to actually use the bathroom.
Rachel was leaning over the sink, splashing water on her face.
"Rach, what's going on?"
"When did you tell him? I thought we were going to wait at least two months."
"Rachel, Biff and I have known each other for years, he knows when I'm lying. Besides he knew a few weeks ago I just never got the chance to tell you."
"B-But, I just don't…What if Claire finds out? Then what, huh Quinn? She tells her buddies at school that the nanny is dating her Mommy?"
"Rachel, stop. We've talked about this already. Claire thinks we're just best friends."
"I know, I know I'm just a little paranoid that's all," Rachel defended.
When Rachel worked for the Johnson's it was Isabelle who had told her mother that "Nanny Rachel was kissing Daddy." Albeit Rachel was half-naked and semi-unconscious the small six-year-old couldn't tell the difference. Rachel did not want a repeat of the whole ordeal. Even though what her and Quinn have is consensual, she still felt uneasy of the similarities of the situations.
Quinn placed her hands on Rachel's shoulders, "Relax, okay? Everything is going to be just fine and if you ever want to talk about what's really bothering you, I'm here. Always."
"Thanks Quinn," Rachel hugged Quinn tightly then the two went back out to the kitchen.
"Mommy, you and Rachel need to hurry up and eat so you can see me off to school." Although Claire is only three, the little one attends a prestigious pre-school on Mondays and Wednesdays.
"We'll try baby." Quinn walked into the kitchen and noticed Lola fixed her eggs for her, "Oh Lola you didn't have to."
"It is no trouble at all Miss Quinn," Lola said with a sweet smile.
Biff stood, rolling up his newspaper, "well ladies, it's time for little miss and I to get going."
"Come give mommy big hugs and kisses," Quinn said meeting the girl and opening her arms.
Claire ran over full speed and embraced her mother, "I love you, mommy."
"I love you too baby, now go give Rachie even bigger hugs and kisses."
Claire attacked Rachel with hugs and kisses, "Bye Rachie, I love you."
"I love you too baby, I'll pick you up around 1, okay?"
"Okay, bye!" Claire jumped into Biff's arms, ready to depart.
"See you ladies tonight," Biff said with a smirk.
"Good bye, Biff" Quinn said rolling her eyes.
"Bye Mr. McIntosh," Rachel said rolling her eyes.
Biff and Claire went into the elevator and left. Rachel and Quinn looked at each other and then went back to finish up their breakfast. They spent the remainder of the morning talking and laughing and just enjoying each other's company.
