Chapter 3

Without realizing it the afternoon snuck up on them, so Santana decided that she too would call off work. Since neither of them had actually eaten she decided to go to the store and pick something up because Quinn clearly had no intention of doing that on her own. While she was out she convinced Quinn to go for a jog. That always helped her clear her mind and helped her release stress, which she desperately needed.

At the store Santana was having a hard time deciding on what to take. Every aisle that she went through caused her to crave something new. That was the reason why she never went to the store with an empty stomach. After a good twenty minutes of debating on whether or not she wanted waffles or pancakes she finally made it out of the store with frozen waffles, a carton of eggs, a pack of bacon, some orange juice and a loaf of bread. As she was making her way to her car her phone went off. She expected it to be Quinn so she answered the phone without looking at the name. "Alright alright I know you're starving but you try coming to the store on an empty…" she was cut off by a familiar voice, but it wasn't Quinn's. "San how did you know I was starving? I text you earlier but you never replied. I was just wondering if maybe you had seen, or heard from Quinn lately?" her heart started racing. For some reason she always felt like she was cheating on the girls whenever she was spending time with one, and the other tried to get a hold of her. "Berry hey! I'm sorry about that. I didn't reply because I was charging my phone and I- I somehow lost track of time."

Rachel knew her friend much too well. Whenever she got nervous, or lied her normal raspy voice became high pitched. She quickly learned that after winning 200 dollars off of her in poker. "You were with her, weren't you? Is she there with you now? I just want to know how she's doing." It was difficult for Santana to hear the desperation in Rachel's voice. She wasn't her usual head strong self. She actually sounded broken. A part of Santana just wanted to tell her everything so that she knew Quinn still loved her, but at the same time she had promised Quinn that she wouldn't inform Rachel of her ware bouts. "Rach I- um she's fine ok, she just isn't ready to talk to you. Just give her some time." She stopped talking when she heard Rachel crying on the other end. "Time? Time is all I've been giving her! I need to see her. I need to hold her, I need to hear her voice and kiss her! I need her arms to hold me at night when I can't sleep! Please San, I need my wife back! Can you get her to speak to me? Even if all she does is yell, I just want to hear her voice again! Please San! I need to hear her voice!" Santana couldn't take it anymore. There was only so much crying he could take in a day. Before she knew it she was crying right along with her.

"Rach, I wish I could, I really do, but Q is hurting just as bad as you are, and you can't blame her for feeling that way. Berry I hate to say it, but you betrayed her. You broke her heart." Rachel knew Santana was right, and that hurt her even more. She hated the idea of Quinn being in pain, and it pained her even more to know that she was the reason behind it. "You're right" she managed to say by choking back on some tears. "That is why I am going to-"there was a sigh before she continued "ask her for a divorce"

Santana couldn't believe what she was hearing, not once but twice the topic of divorce was brought up that day. When Quinn first mentioned it to her she figured it was just something that she said out of desperation and fear, but that she would soon come to her senses. When Rachel mentioned it to her it hit her like a ton of bricks. She couldn't bare the idea of her friend's separation. She didn't want to see them experience what she did with Brittany. She just couldn't.

After a brief moment of silence she finally spoke up. "Rachel, I- I honestly don't know what to say right now. I have to let you go, because I'm actually going to cook her some breakfast. You do know our Quinnie has been living off of Frosted Flakes and Ramen noodles. I guess she really does miss your cooking." The image of Quinn fending for herself in the kitchen caused Rachel to let out a chuckle. Quinn had many talents but cooking wasn't one of them. "Awww my poor baby! She can't fry and egg to save her dear life. What are you going to cook for her? If you make her eggs I suggest that you scramble them and add extra cheese, although I wouldn't dare consume that myself I always enjoyed preparing that for her. Oh and make sure to add lots of pepper she loves that!" "Okay, Berry take a breath will you? I'll feed Q whatever is at my hands, she's lucky I even went to the store for her! On a serious note though I have to seriously let you go because I am dead starving and I bet blondie is too! I'll give you a call later though."

With that they ended their conversation and Santana made her way to Quinn's place. When she made her way inside she had to do a double take because it didn't look like she had left it. Apparently the jog did Quinn some good, because she had music blasting and was actually picking up after herself. "Dios mio, who are you and what have you done to Fabray?" she said with a laugh. "Shut it Lopez! It was the jog, it actually really helped me clear my head, but I'm starving so start cooking before I eat my last packet of Ramen!" Santana just rolled her eyes as she smacked Quinn's ass and made her way into the kitchen. "Don't push it Q, or I'll leave you to cook for yourself! But seriously I'm glad you're doing better. I honestly don't think I could take anymore tears from you both. I- I um so it's nice out huh?" She tried to cover up her spill but it was too late. "You both? Is that why you took so long? Were you with her Benedict Arnold?"

Santana couldn't believe that Quinn had referred to her as Benedict Arnold. It was bad enough she felt guilty, because she had to speak to them on separate terms. "I wasn't with her Q! I took forever because every item in that freaking store called my name so I couldn't decide on what to get." She paused for a while before she whispered the last part. "I did speak to her over the phone…"She thought she could get away with it but once again Quinn had heard her. "Wait, what was that?" "I only answered because I thought it was you. I didn't bother looking at the name and just answered the phone… She's a mess you know? She really misses you Q!" Quinn stood there quietly taking it all in before she could speak. "I think I'll just have some toast and OJ thanks." That was all she said before she walked out to the living room. Santana just sighed as she continued to cook. If there was a trait that they both shared it was their stubbornness. There was no way of getting through to each other so she just let her be.

Even though Quinn had clearly stated that she only wanted toast and OJ Santana still decided to make her scrambled eggs the way Rachel had instructed her and placed them in front of her on the coffee table. Scrambled eggs, double the cheese and some pepper, my fave! Rachel told you didn't she?" Santana nodded " Yea… I know you asked me not to tell her about you but…" before she could continue she was interrupted. "It's okay San! I was actually thinking that I've had enough time to think, so I plan on speaking to her tomorrow after she gets out of work. If you see her later on today tell her I'm going to give her a call".

******************* FLASH BACK *********************

"Babe?" Rachel asked as she lied awake with Quinn's head resting on her chest. "mhhhm" Quinn managed to get out half asleep. "Did you ever, I mean don't you think it's strange that we ended up together?" After hearing that Quinn was no longer half asleep. She raised her head and gave her girlfriend a look of confusion. Realizing how bad that sounded Rachel rephrased what she had said. "No baby, I don't mean that in a bad way. I was just I don't know thinking about our first encounter together. You seemed quite bothered by me at first, when all I ever wanted was your friendship, and nothing more. All you did was push me away!" she said as she reached over to smack her girlfriend on her arm. "Ouch! Rachel! Geez babe that hurt." Quinn said as she gave her famous pouty face. "Oh baby! I'm so sorry, come here so I can make it feel better" Rachel said as she reached over to kiss the red section of her girlfriend's arm. "Is that better now?" Quinn shook her head and her pouty face remained as she pointed to her lips. "Oh I see you want a kiss? Well all you have to do is ask silly girl" She moved so that she was slightly on top of Quinn and went for her lips. The kiss was gentle but filled with love. It was all it took to wipe the pouty look off of Quinn's face.

"Now that's much better!" Quinn said with a smirk. "Somehow your kisses always do the trick. I always feel so much better right after." Rachel couldn't help but blush. Even though they had known each other for such a long time Quinn always managed to get the best of her and make her feel all warm, and right inside. She didn't think it was possible but she still felt the butterflies in her stomach as if it were the first time. "Baby, you're such a dork! You know that?" Quinn mocked a look of hurt. "Yea I guess that's why you find it soooo STRANGE that we're together" she made sure to emphasize on strange once again mocking Rachel. "Oh come on you know that's not what I meant! It's just that I never in a million years would've thought that I would end up being with a girl." Once more Rachel ended up saying the total opposite of what she had intended, and the look of pain on Quinn's face was no longer a playful one.

"Are you questioning whether or not you actually want to be with me? Do- do you still love Finn?" Quinn asked terrified of what she might hear. Seeing the look of fear in her girlfriend's eyes broke Rachel's heart, especially because that was the furthest from the truth. She loved Quinn with all her heart and didn't even want to consider what life would be like without her. Worrying that her words could get twisted again she gently reached for Quinn's hand and placed it on her chest.

"Do you feel that?" Quinn nodded. "Well it only does that when I'm with you, I've never felt like this before, not with Finn, not with anyone other than you. When I'm with you it's like nothing else matters, but us. I'm not that well with expressing myself outside of my singing; because what I intend on saying gets all twisted up and it comes out all wrong, but Quinn please don't ever question my love for you! You're as essential to me as the air I take in with each breath. I don't even want to think about how much life would suck without you!" After seeing a strand of tear falling down Quinn's faces she worried that once more she had done something wrong. "Ugh I really do suck at this! Baby I'm sorry! Please don't cry! I hate seeing tears fall from those gorgeous eyes." Quinn smiled and pulled her towards herself until all gaps between them were closed and kissed her with every ounce of passion she had. She wanted that kiss to show Rachel that her tears were tears of happiness because what Rachel had said was exactly how she felt about her. She couldn't have been happier. After a few minutes Quinn pulled away for air. "I love you Rachel Barbra Berry, I always have, and always will".
