A/N: Thanks for all your reviews :) This is just something which came into my mind and wouldn't leave until it was written down... at 2:20am lol. Please read and review.

The next morning Shelby woke up to find that the thunderstorm still hadn't passed yet as she could still see flashes of lightning in the dark grey sky. She looked at her watch and noticed it was almost 10am. Shelby was thankful it was a Saturday as she had nothing planned for the day. Shelby felt Rachel shift in her arms and quickly looked down at her; Rachel was still fast asleep and looked as though she had no intention of waking up any time soon.

Shelby laid there and replayed the events of the previous night in her mind, kissing Rachel absentmindedly on the head. After she had thought about it the only question which came into her mind was why Rachel was outside so late, especially during a thunderstorm.

As Shelby played with Rachel's hair, Rachel started to stir and wake up.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty" Shelby said lovingly to her daughter as she brushed a lose strand of hair away from her face.

"Good morning Mummy" Rachel said as she rolled back into Shelby's side and tried to go back to sleep.

"Come on hunny, wake up. You're not going back to sleep" Shelby stated as she sat up on the lounge pulling Rachel up with her. "Would you like some breakfast or a cold shower to wake you up?"

"No, I'm good here. Nice and warm" Rachel replied leaning back against Shelby.

"Hey baby, if you don't mind me asking, why were you out so late last night, especially during a thunderstorm?" Shelby inquired her curiosity getting the best of her.

"I was having a bad day and I had to stay back at Glee rehearsals because everyone said I wasn't trying my best, which I was by the way so I had to practice our songs all by myself till I got it right. It was really annoying me, not being able to hit the right notes and all so I decided to go for a walk instead. I paid no attention to the weather and before I knew it, it was pouring rain and then the thunderstorm began. I hid under a big tree hoping it would pass but as it got darker and louder I got really scared and the only thing I wanted was you and then I realised I was nearby so I came here. I hope you're not mad at me for showing up so late" Rachel quickly explained

"Awww baby, I wasn't mad at you for coming so late, I could never be. No matter what the time is, if you need me just come. You're my baby and I would do anything for you, you know that right"

"Mummy, I love you" Rachel squealed as she turned around and hugged Shelby tightly.

"I love you too, Rachel" Shelby responded hugging her daughter somewhat amazed at her reaction.

They stayed in each other's arms in complete comfort and silence watching the rain droplets trickle down the window. Suddenly Rachel's stomach began growling. Shelby started to laugh and looked at her daughter with one eyebrow raised "Hungry are we, Missy"

"Now that you mention it, I am a bit.. but I'm too comfortable to wanna move" Rachel said as she cuddled her mum more.

"Mum, what's your favourite colour?" Rachel asked out of the blue

"It's deep purple."

"How about your favourite book?"

"I really like the Twilight Saga at the moment"

"How about your favourite song?"

"Defying Gravity, It's been my favourite song since I first heard it"

"I love that song too Mum" Rachel gleamed. "So what's your favourite sport?"

"I like playing tennis. I actually have a decent backhand"

"Mum, what's your favourite food and drink"

"Pasta and Juice. Rachel what's up with all the questions?" Shelby asked her

"I don't know, they are just randomly popping into my head" Rachel responded "I just have one last question though"

"What is it, hun"

"What's the worst decision you have ever made, apart from giving me up"

"Well the worst decision I ever did make was giving you away but apart from that it would have been... hmmm... this is a tough question Rach. I really can't think of anything apart from giving you away. Shelby Corcoran doesn't usually makes stupid decisions"

Rachel started laughing as her mother said this. "What's so funny Rachel"? Shelby asked her.

"You said 'Stupid Decisions' with your angry teacher face on" Rachel said as she suppressed her laughter.

At this Shelby poked her tongue out at Rachel and started to tickle her. Rachel started to move and fidget as she was being tickled, laughter coming from both mother and daughter.

TBC... maybe
