Once again I want to say thanks for the reviews, and for the people who added it to their favorites. I wanted to update a lot sooner but with finals, and Christmas shopping I couldn't get to it until now. I must warn you guys. This isn't a cheerful update, but this will lead to happier chapters very soon! Hope you guys enjoy the update!

Santana dashed to her friend's side quickly taking Rachel's head into her hands.

"No! Rachel what the fuck did you do? Rach please wake up! Look at me!" She tried to shake her up, but got no response. She desperately searched around for whatever pills Rachel might have taken but when she didn't come across any she gently picked up her friend and rushed her to the bathroom. Once inside she placed Rachel in the bathtub and immediately turned on the cold water, as she turned the shower head so that it splashed Rachel directly on her face. As soon as the water made contact with Rachel's face she began to stir.

"Ay dios mio! Gracias!" Santana said as soon as she saw a reaction from her friend. She gently took her in her arms and held her in a tight embrace as tears streamed down her face.

"Rachel what the hell did you take? I- I thought you were gone." Clearly still intoxicated Rachel just looked at her with drowsiness before her eyes rolled back. Santana began to freak out once more and gave her a few smacks to the face.

"Rachel look at me! Stay with me please!" When that didn't seem to work she dragged her out of the tub and ran out of the apartment with Rachel in arms.

The drive to the hospital was a lot faster than the drive to Rachel's apartment. Santana was able to make all the green light, and when a red light appeared the streets were empty enough for her to get by. She was barely able to park the car before she made her way into the ER with Rachel in her arms. Moments before Santana arrived Quinn had been in the waiting room trying to get a hold of Santana so when she saw Santana run in with Rachel in her arms she ran recklessly towards them.

"Oh my God! What the hell happened to her San?" She asked as she gently took Rachel's face into her hands.

"Rach! Rachel! Listen to me, look at me please! Open your eyes, and look at me baby!" With tears falling down her face she desperately searched for some sort of medical help.

"Can someone please take a look at my wife!" It was more of a demand than a plead, but it worked because as soon as she said that the nurse that had attended her appeared.

"What happened to her?" The nurse directed her question towards to Santana as she checked Rachel's vitals.

"I- I don't know, she took something, but I couldn't find anything at her place, so I have no idea what it could have been." The nurse just nodded as she pulled up a gurney, and asked Santana to place Rachel on to it.

"Well she has a pulse, it's a faint pulse but, it's definitely better than no pulse at all. I'm going to rush her to the back so that a doctor could have a better look at her." As she said that she pried Rachel's eyes open.

"Her eyes are very dilated and judging by the smell of Everclear that is escaping her mouth it could very well be alcohol poisoning, so we might have to pump out her stomach." She turned to Quinn.

"You said you were her wife?" Quinn nodded.

"Okay well I'm going to need you to fill out her paper work, while she's in the back. Do you think you can manage that with your cast on?" Quinn just nodded once more as the nurse rushed Rachel to the back. Before she was fully out of reach Quinn ran up to her.

"Is- she going to be okay? The nurse looked back at her with a warming smile.

"Let's hope for the best, if all she consumed was liquid than it might make the process easier. Just know she is in good hands, and I will come find you as soon as I get some news." Quinn nodded as she thanked the nurse and made her way to the front of the hospital.

While she was filling out the papers the reality of it all hit her and she began to cry. How could this happen? She couldn't help but blame herself, if she wouldn't have left their apartment so angry none of this would have happened. She didn't even want to think about what could have happened if Santana hadn't gone and checked on her. Just as she thought that she felt a comforting arm around her shoulder.

"Come here." Santana said as she wrapped her friend in her arms.

"Q she's going to be fine! You know Berry is tough! She's going to get through this I promise!"

"This is all my fault San! I shouldn't have left the way that I did. I- I shouldn't have gotten so angry! If- if something happens to her I won't be able to forgive myself." She said as she buried her face into the crook of Santana's neck.

"Shhhh! Don't say that! None of this is your fault, sometimes things just happen for whatever fucked up reason, but if you ask me, it is best that you walked it off. Just try to relax because you need to fill out all of these papers, and she's going to be fine!" She said as she placed a chaste kiss on top of Quinn's head.

"While you finish filling that out, I'm going to grab us a couple of coffees. I know it's going to be a long night and if I don't caffeine in my system I might have to endz somebody" She said with a smirk as Quinn managed to give her a smile.

"Thanks San" With that Santana made her way out, and Quinn continued to fill out all the papers.

Within minutes the nurse returned to update Quinn on Rachel's current state of being. She let her know that she was stable, but that it was alcohol poisoning, and that Santana had brought her just in time. Since Rachel was unconscious the doctor had to insert an endotracheal tube to her mouth to keep any fluids from getting into her lungs. She also let Quinn know that it was a draining process, and that Rachel was resting but that once she was placed into her own room she would let Quinn know so she could go see her.

When Santana returned she found Quinn sitting in the waiting area, and appeared to be a lot more relaxed than before.

"So any news?" She asked as she handed Quinn her coffee.

"Thanks San, and yea apparently it was alcohol poisoning, so she is out of danger, but the procedure took a lot out of her so she will need a lot of time to rest, both in the hospital and at home."

"Well the good thing is that she isn't in any danger, but good luck with Getting Berry to rest, even when she's sick she's up and running."

"I know that is why I'm going to call her dads to let them know. I know Michael won't be able to come because of work, but maybe Ishmael will be able to stay with Rach for a couple of days, and I will definitely do what I can to make sure that she rests as best she can. What time is it?" She looked at Santana as she asked.

"It's about to be 1:30 in the morning, why?"

"Well I was going to call Rachel's manager to let him know that she won't be able to make it to the rehearsal for the rest of this week, but I think I might just email him instead, and I also have to look into possibly taking more days off of work." Santana just shook her head.

"Q! You've already missed enough, Rachel will be fine I will do my part in helping too, and I'll take care of informing her manager you just relax and call her dads ASAP, because you know how they are so the sooner they know the better." Quinn just nodded, she knew she had to call her in laws, but deep down she wished there was a way she could avoid the call. Michael and Ishmael had been nothing but supportive of her after she decided to move out, but she still felt a bit awkward when she spoke to them, especially because Rachel seemed to come up in every conversation making it difficult for the call to carry on. In spite of all of that she knew she had to put her worries aside and call them.

"San do you think you can go back to the apartment, and bring back Rachel's Barbra Streisand's throw blanket? I want her to have something to soothe her when she wakes up, and also remember to go to the fridge where she has her manager's information listed." Santana couldn't help but smile at how quickly Quinn was able to fall into the role of Rachel's care taker and wife. It reminded Santana of the way Quinn protected Rachel from all the jocks back in their high school days.

"Yea sure thing Q, do you need anything from your studio?" Quinn shook her head.

"No thanks San I shall be fine."

"Okay then I'll be back in a few, but if anything comes up give me a call or something."

"Thank you San!"

"Yea yea, don't mention it Q, that's what we Cheerios are for." She said with a wink as she leaned into to give Quinn a hug, and made her way out.

While Santana was gone Quinn sat and thought about what she was going to say when she finally made the call to Rachel's fathers. After a few minutes of plotting and several cups of coffee she decided to finally dial their number. As soon as the phone began to ring, her nerves got the best of her.

"Quinnie! What a wonderful surprise honey! How are you? How's everything?" Hearing Ishmael's soothing voice on the other end of the phone Helped Quinn calm down a bit before she spoke.

"Hi- sir I um-" before Quinn could continue she was interrupted.

"Now Quinn what have I told you about calling me sir? We're family and I would appreciate me if you would still call me dad." Quinn couldn't help but smile at that. Rachel's dads always made her feel like she was one of their own and it brought tears to her eyes.

"I'm fine dad, I um I'm actually calling you because Rachel, she uh-"

"She what? What happened Quinn, is she okay?"

"Yea she's, Santana brought her to the ER because of some alcohol poisoning, but she is out of any danger she's just going to need a lot of rest these upcoming day."

"Dear Lord! How did this happen? My poor baby! Let me get a hold of Michael so that he could book me a flight to New York as soon as possible! Thank you so much for calling me honey!"

"No problem, I'll be here all night so just give me a call if anything comes up. I can get Santana to pick you up from the airport, or have her stay with Rachel while I go get you."

"Thank you that sounds great."

"It's no problem really, so I'll see you soon then?"

"Yes Quinn, and thank you, I know it's not the ideal situation to be taking care of my daughter, but it means so much to me that you still look out for her. I don't know what I would do if you weren't there to take care of her." When Ishmael said those words it filled Quinn with pain. She knew that his words weren't intended to hurt her, but she couldn't help the feeling they provided, before she could make anything out of it she forced herself to brush it off. She loved Rachel with all her heart and in that moment that's all that mattered to her.

"Always- I um will always be here for her no matter what. I love her too much to turn my back on her, especially when she needs me the most."

"I know you do honey, and it means the world to me to have you say that. I'll see you soon, in the mean time take care of my little star." With a smile on her face she agreed and with that she ended their call.

About thirty minutes after she had gotten off the phone with Rachel's father Quinn had drifted away into sleep until her phone buzzed and woke her up.

"Q , I emailed Rach's manager and left him a voicemail at his office number, but I can't seem to find that stupid blanket anywhere are you sure she still has it?"

"Of course she still has it- it's what…" Just then it hit her that the blanket wasn't at Rachel's apartment. When Quinn moved out she took the blanket with her as a minor way to get back at Rachel, and at the same time it served to comfort her whenever she missed Rachel. It carried her scent with it, and it made it easier for Quinn to get sleep when she wrapped herself around it.

"Hello! Quinn you still there?"

"Yea, sorry it turns out her blanket is at my place."

"How the hell did that happen? You hated that thing!"

"Yea I know, but it somehow found its way into my belongings when I packed up, do you um mind driving there to get it?" She asked almost afraid of sounding too needy.

"No it's fine I'll be there as soon as I get it then."

"Thanks San!"

When Quinn got off the phone with Santana she decided to step outside and get some air. It had been a long day and she hadn't had time to peacefully reflect on it. She couldn't believe everything that had gone on in the past 24 hours. It all sort of felt like a dream, a dream that she knew she couldn't escape. If only there was some way for her to just go back and stop everything before it happened. If only she could have prevented that argument between her and Rachel the night that she decided to sleep with Finn. It's often said that you don't know that you have until it's gone, and that night she got a preview of it. The moment she saw Rachel in Santana's arms she felt her body go numb. It was as if everything was being sucked out of her. More than anything she wanted to hold Rachel in her arms and know that she was going to be okay. Nothing else seemed to matter other than Rachel's well being.

After having to give Beth up the only thing that could even compete with that sort of pain was losing Rachel, and because of that she prayed that she would never have to deal with that again. It had been awhile since she even bothered to pray, but at that moment it was only thing that could comfort her.

"Dear God, I know it's been awhile, but I just want to ask you to please, please let Rachel be okay, even if I can't be with her after it I don't even want think about not having her here at all. Please sure that she gets out of this one okay, and please give us both the strength to carry on. I want to forgive her Lord. I want to have her back in my life but I don't know how, I just don't know if I'm capable of forgetting about her betrayal."

"Q, what are you doing out here? Is everything okay?" Quinn looked up to fin Santana standing in front of her with the Barbra blanket in her hand.

"Yea it is I just needed to get some air and clear my head, so much has gone on in these past 24 hours and I hadn't had a chance to reflect on it all you know?" Santana just nodded.

"Yea I know I almost can't believe that it has happened, it kind of all feel like a dream doesn't it?"

"Yup that's exactly what I was just thinking about before you got here, I'm just glad Rach is out of any danger. She scared the hell out of me when I saw her in your arms." Santana placed a comforting and on Quinn's shoulder as they made their way back inside to the waiting room.

Once they had made their way into the waiting room and took their seats, Santana looked at Quinn as if she had something to say but couldn't bring her way to it.

"What is it San?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well what gives, clearly there is something on your mind so spill it."

"It's nothing really; we can talk about it later."

"San come on, you've been nothing but a great friend to Rach, and I so now let me do the same for you."

"Well, um remember earlier today, or shall I say yesterday since it's already three in the morning. Oh dear God I am rambling, I'm turning into Berry! How did this happen?" Quinn couldn't help, but laugh. How was it possible that Santana was able to make her laugh even at a time like that?

"Nice try but your rambling isn't going to make me forget that you had something to tell me! So what is it?"

"Fine! Well as I was saying do you um remember what I told you when we went for our jog?"

"Oh my God! Yes, it's about Britt! Have you gotten a hold of her?" Santana bit her lip as she looked Quinn in the eyes.

"Yea, I um I don't know but seeing Rach like that really scared me too, and all I could think of was Brittany and God I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to her and I couldn't be there to hold her and make sure that she was alright. I just couldn't!" This time it was Quinn that pulled her friend into a comforting hug.

"I know San! I Have to admit that seeing Rach that way made me realize that life is too short, and um I honestly don't know if I can see my life without her in it, even after everything that has happened, but any way what were you saying."

"Well yea I um, while I was emailing Rachel's manager I thought about Britt and how she was going to be here this weekend, and I remembered what you said to me at the park, so I emailed her." Quinn actually squealed like a teenage girl at her friend's news.

"Oh my God San! Are you serious? I'm sooooo excited for you!" Santana broke into a smile but quickly took it back.

"Yea I don't know though, what if she doesn't bother reading it, or what if she does but doesn't want to see me." Quinn just shook her head.

"Britt is not like that and you know that! She will get back at you, and if- if she doesn't then at least you know you gave it a try you know? But what did the email say?"

"Nothing much I just told her hi, and that I had spoke to her sister and found out that she was going to be here this weekend, so I would love to maybe grab a cup of coffee if she had time, but I don't know was that too forward, after not hearing from each other for almost a year?"

"I don't think so San. You had to start somewhere. I just hope she gets back to you soon! I wouldn't mind seeing her, the last time I spoke to her was over a month ago and we made plans to meet up next time she came here, but neither of us pulled through, and I miss having her around." Santana just nodded.

"Yea me too!"

Within an hour or so Quinn had managed to fall asleep nearly on top of Santana, but was woken up by a nurse informing her that Rachel had been taken into her own room, and that she could go see her once she was ready. Since it was way past visiting hours only Quinn was allowed to go see her while Santana waited down stairs with Quinn's phone in case Ishmael called. Once Quinn reached the door of Rachel's hospital room she took in a big breath before she walked in. Even with that intake of air she couldn't but feel breathless once she saw Rachel lying in the hospital bed. The tears immediately fell from her face as the thought of losing her crossed her mind. She slowly made her way to Rachel's bed side and held on to her hand.

"Rach, baby why did you do this, please open your eyes for me! I just want to know you're okay." When she got no response she pulled up a chair and rested her head on her wife's lap.
