Hey guys! If you thought I've forgotten you...I didn't!(;

Here is chapter 10! Hope you like it! Took me a LONG time!

Chapter 10: Death.

As soon as I got to the hospital, I ran to the desk.

"Um. Excuse me?" I said hurriedly.

"May I help you young lady?" The receptionist said.

"Where can I find Judy Fabray?"

"Ah yes. Room 13. Go straight till you get to the elevator than take a left. The room will be on your left." She said.

"Thank you so much." I said hurrying over to the room. As soon as I got there I saw Jess and George.

"Jess!" I yelled.

"Quinn!" She yelled back running down the hall. We collided with a hug. We both started to cry. It was awful. The doctor came out a few minutes later. "What's the matter with our mom?" Jess asked.

"Well, Ms. Fabray. Your mother is getting worse. I'm so very sorry. There is nothing we can do. The cancer has spread. She does not have very much time left." I closed my eyes. I started to ball my eyes out. Jess grabbed me and we hugged for a long while. I pulled out of the hug first.

"Jess. I have to call Rachel and tell her to bring Beth here." I said.

"Okay. Want me to call Noah?" She asked.

"NO!" I fired back as tears began to pour out of my eyes. I walked towards the end of the corridor. I dialed Rachel's number. The phone rung.

"Rach?"

"Quinn, is everything alright?"

"No Rach. My mother is dying. I just need Beth here."

"It's okay. I'll be there in ten."

"Thanks Rach. Your the best."

"No problem." We both hung up.

I walked back over to Jess and George. We sat in silence until Rachel and Beth arrived. As Rachel put Beth's carrier down, I grabbed her and pulled her into a hug. I cried into her shoulder.

"Quinn, it's okay. Shh." She wouldn't let go of me until I stopped crying. "I think you should call Noah. He should know." She said. I nodded and looked at Beth who was fast asleep.

"I'll call him tomorrow morning. I just left him. I can't." I said about to cry again.

"Alright. Q, when ever you want." She said. "I'll bring Beth home. I'll sleep with her and watch her. Just try to sleep Quinn."

"Okay. Thanks Rach." I said. We hugged then I kissed Beth's forehead. And they left.

Throughout the night Jess, George and I slept off and on. Rachel had to be the best friend I've ever had. She knew how to cheer me up and keep me company. We all slept in the private waiting room. It was quiet. George kept the TV on low. We all fell asleep by 11:30.

I woke up the next morning to 3 missed calls and 4 text messages. The three missed calls were from Rachel. One text from Santana, and the rest from Puck.

Hey Q. Hope everythn is ok. Txt me if u need anythn. -San.

Read the text from Santana.

Thanx. I will. I'll call you later. -Q.

I replied.

Puck's messages read,

Hey babe. Plz we need to tlk.

Quinn. Plz answr me.

Srry babe.

A tear slipped out of my eye onto the screen of my phone. I whipped it away and saw that Jess left a note.

Hey baby sister. George and I are going to get something to eat. Text me if you want something. Love you,
-Jess.

After reading the note I shot Rachel a text.

Hey Rach. Sorry I didn't answer the phone. Kept it on silent. How's Beth. Thanks again. -Q

Hey Q. Just checking up on you. She's fine. Slept like a baby.(; And no problem. Wanna do lunch?

Sure. Bring my baby girl. Maybe we'll call Puck.

Cool. Ru going to school on Monday?

Yeah. I'm going to sing a song!

Ooh! What song?

LOL. Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood.

Perfect song for you! We'll practice. See you later.

Right! Okay. Give Beth a kiss for me. Bye.

I got up and walked to my mothers room. Jess and George were sitting together kissing. I tried to pull myself together so I didn't cry. I cleared my throat and they looked at me.

"Sorry, Q." Jess said.

"Its fine. How is she?" I said.

"Good. Doctor said she's getting better." She said as a smile crept on my face.

"That's amazing. Thank you so much, Doctor Tony." Jess said as she hugged me.

"Yes thank you. So much." I also said.

As the day went on we stayed with our mother. Rach and I went out for lunch and than i was back to the hospital. The doctors wanted to keep her for two weeks just to keep observation. I said goodbye to Jess, than George and finally mom.

"Mom, if u need anything. Anything at all. Call me." I told her.

"Quinnie, hunny. I know. Thank you so much. I love you." She replied.

"Your welcome mom. I love you too. Good Night."

"Night hunny." I leaned in and hugged her. She kissed my forehead.

I walked out of the hospital to my car and drove to Rachel's house. Her dads weren't home this week, they had a huge business meeting in California. I looked at the clock in my car. It was 6:25. I got home to see Rachel with Beth on her hip cooking pasta.

"Hi baby!" I ran over to them and picked Beth up and kissed her forehead and she giggled. "Oh man. I missed the sound of your laughter." I said as I tickled her tummy.

"She's been really good Quinn." Rachel said as she strained the pasta. "i hope you like pasta!" She said smiling.

"No doubt." I put Beth in her high chair and fed her her food. "She's getting so big!"

"I know. Almost one!" Rachel said.

"Wow. Two months baby." I said smiling. Beth looked at me and opened her mouth for more food.

"Hey, Q. How's the Noah situation going? And that songs amazing by the way." Rachel asked.

Biting my lip I said, "Terrible. I haven't called him. I'm just going to talk to him in school where there are people. And thanks."

"True. Ill go with you if you want."

"No thanks. I need to handle this myself in a somewhat positive way. Thanks anyway." I said as I fed Beth the last of her food.

As we ate we just talked. It was already 7:45. Time really flies. We said good night to Rachel and went to bed.

I woke up to my alarm clock playing Rolling in the Deep by Adele. Great way to start off my day! I got Beth ready and dropped her off at my mom's house with Jess. I met Rachel at school.

By the time glee club came my adrenaline was pumping and I was ready to sing.

"Mr. Schue. Can I start?" I asked as the group looked at me oddly.

"Sure Quinn. Let's see what you got." He said.

As soon as the music started Rachel had a smile on her face. I belted out the last note as everyone clapped and cheered for me. Puck just walked out of the room.

"Mr. Schue, I have to take a leak." He said.

"Sure, Puck."

I finally felt good about something for once. I felt bad for Puck. I didn't want to hurt his feelings but he did this to me.

The rest of the day went by fast.

By Tuesdays glee club meeting Puck had a song.

"Mr. Schue. Can I go first?"

"Sure Puck."

"I'd like to dedicate this song to Quinn. I know I fu-screwed up...but I love you."

The music began. The song was by Buckcherry. Sorry as a matter of fact. When he was finished. I got up and walked out of the room with tears in my eyes. He ran after me.

"Quinn!" He yelled.

"Please just let me go." I said

"Please. I need to talk to you. Give me like 5 minutes." He said. "Please than i'll leave you alone."

"Wait. You need to take Beth for a while." I said. "Deal?"

"Fine. But why?" He responded.

"Well. My mom is in the hospital and I need to take care of her, even though Jess is home. Pick her up tomorrow at Rachels'."

"Okay, and I'm sorry. Can we just talk. It was a mistake." He said as I began to think of the whole ordeal.

"Please can we not. Just bring Beth to the hospital next Thursday, by 4:30. I'll be there all day."

"Okay. Call me if you need me. I'll be home all week." He said as he tried to hug me.

"Please don't touch me. Just don't." I said as I pushed him away.

"I love you Q. Never forget that." He whispered. As I walked away, crying.

I got to Rachel's house late. She already had Beth in her crib, sound asleep.

"Thanks Rach. I owe you."

"No need." She replied. We sat down on my bed and talked most of the night. We both drifted off to sleep in my bed.

THURSDAY (*AT HOSPITAL*)

All I could remember was that she was doing great. Than all hell broke loose. Her heart monitor started to beep. The doctors came rushing in.

"Ms. Fabray you really need to leave. Your mother is going into cardiac arrest. Nurse, please take her outside." The doctor said.

"No problem Doc." She replied. "Come on hunny, just let the doctors do their job." By that point I was hysterical. Why did Jess have to leave? Why? I said to myself.

As soon as the nurse pushed me out into the hall way, I bumped into a man with a baby. It was Puck. He put the carrier down and wrapped his arms around me. How did he know I'd be here now. Oh that's right you told him to come here with Beth.

The last thing I heard out of the hospital room was that dreadful beep of the flat line. I collapsed into Pucks arms. He sat me down and didn't let go of me. He even called Jess. Beth just slept through everything. He texted Rachel and she rushed here. That's about all I could remember at that point.

Whoa! A bit of a twist! This took me SO long to prepare and write! I hope you all liked it!
