Quinn and Carole sat down at the office. Quinn looked at her. "You must be wondering why I called you here but it's nothing bad, I promise." Quinn said and Carole smiled. "So what is it?" Carole asked and Quinn looked at her.

"You were a nurse right?" Carole nodded. "I was thinking that it would be a god idea if you could teach if not all of us, at least a few, some basic things."

"We are going to need to know how to stitch someone or ourselves and I am asking you if you would be up to it." Quinn asked and Carole was a little shocked.

"You want me to teach nurse stuff to everyone?" She asked and Quinn nodded. "What Rachel said about how it was important that everyone learned how to take care of themselves is what gave me this idea."

"We need to be ready for the worst. All of us and I thought we could start with medical care." Quinn explained and Carole nodded.

"Why? You don't think it's a good idea to do this?" Quinn asked and Carole quickly shook her head.

"No, quite the opposite. It's a brilliant idea, I just guess I have to stop being shocked that the same girl who had once lived with me pregnant of another boy's baby is the woman who is taking care of everyone in the group now, really well by the way." Carole said and Quinn nodded in understanding.

"I know. But that girl has responsibilities now and she has to do her best. It's all I'm trying to do. Make sure that everyone has a chance to survive. So it's a yes?" Quinn asked and Carole nodded.

"It's definitely a yes. I'll be honored to contribute with my knowledge." Carole said and Quinn smiled.

"Thank you Carole. I'll plan the best way for us to have those classes and I'll tell you." Nod. "Now, could you please ask Mike, Sam and Puck to come in?" Carole nodded and got out calling the next people.

And she talked with each one of them about whatever they needed from her or what she needed from them.

"Well, thanks Burt, this was all that I needed from you. Could you please ask for Rachel and Santana to come inside?" He nodded and soon the two of them entered and sat down in front of her.

"Are you okay?" Rachel asked and Quinn nodded. "As okay as I can be but I'm mostly tired." Quinn said.

"What do you want to talk to us, Q?" Santana asked and Quinn sighed. "I am trying my best to protect everyone as the leader of this group but anything can happen."

"What I wanted to talk to you is that if anything happens with me, I want the two of you to lead this group together." She said as the other two looked at each other.

"Although, you have more experience with the zombies, you are also hot headed, S and Rachel can help calming you down. What I mean is that you two are a balance."

"The balance I'm trying to be by myself, you two are together which is why if I die or something like that, I want you to take over and protect everyone and keep them safe." Quinn said.

"Why are you talking like this?" Rachel asked. "Because what happened to my mother today could happen to anyone of us including me and I'm sorry Rachel but I don't trust Finn for the role. You two are the people I trust to do what's best for the group and not only to yourselves." Quinn said and they nodded.

"Okay, we accept what you have said but I'm warning you Quinn, you better not make us have to do that, do you hear me?" Santana said. "Although we're honored you choose us, there is no one here who could do a better job at this than you. You were made to be the leader so you better protect yourself as well." Rachel finished and Santana agreed.

"Okay. I promise I will do my best to make sure you don't have to do this." Quinn smiled just a little. "Well, I guess that for now this is all. I will stay here a little linger, tell Mr. Schue and Kurt that I want them to take their places." The two of them nodded and left her alone.

Earlier, the longest talk she had was with Blaine. He showed her the maps that his family had of the forest and the house's localization. Since he knows the place well, she asked him to tell her every detail he could remember about this location.

Where is the river, hoe long by foot from the road to here, anything little thing he could think about he told her as she listened and memorized carefully.

Whenever her dad and her would watch a film like this, he always told her that if you are faced in a situation like this, the first thing you need to do is know your ground, know where you are so that you will have the advantage against any threat and that's exactly what she was doing.

Knowing where she was stepping would make her job easier and as she looked at the map, she silently thanked the man who had taught her those things.

Although he was a different person from the one she one day believed him to be, his lessons are indeed paying off right now.

Her father may have been a jerk with her, with her mother, even with Frannie but he was all she had and now he was gone and so was her mother.

She was working hard when a knock on the door came. "Come in." She said and the door opened revealing Shelby with Beth. She closed the door and walked over to Quinn who at the sight of her daughter opened a big smile.

"She asked for you." Shelby said while passing Beth to Quinn's arms. "Did you monkey?" She asked as the little girl hugged her. "I thought you needed it." Shelby said and Quinn nodded. "I did. Today was… hard, to say the least and I really needed to have this. Thank you for doing this for me. It means a lot." Quinn said and hugged Shelby with Beth still in her arms.

Shelby went to sit down. "It's funny, isn't it?" Shelby asked and Quinn looked at her. "What is?" Quinn asked. "I have adopted your daughter and you are in love with mine." Shelby said smiling and Quinn was shocked. "How did you…"

"I came to check on you earlier and the two of you were cuddling and I have eyes Quinn. I have seen the way you look at her. I only needed to put two and two together." Shelby said smirking.

"Well, I guess I am a little bit obvious." Quinn said. "Does she know?" Shelby asked. "Who, Rachel?" Nod. "Yes, I have told her a couple of days ago. I have wanted to confess since last year but with everything that happened, I just couldn't."

"But given what our lives are now, the not knowing future, I decided that I needed to tell her before it was too late and I'm relieved." Quinn said playing with Beth.

"It must be hard seeing her with Finn?" Shelby asked. "Yes, it is. Really hard, especially when he is being a douchebag but she loves him and there is nothing I can do about it besides accept that we can't be together." Quinn said sadly.

"I don't want to give you false hope but if I had to bet on something, I would bet that she feels something for you too so don't give up on her, on you two." Shelby said and Quinn looked at her.

"I'm not giving up on her but until she has chosen me, I will focus on my job and let the cards play out by themselves. She knows what I feel, if she wants to be with me she will have to come to me herself." Quinn said as Shelby nodded and she continued to play with their daughter.
