Update 14
"Babe just ignore it!" Rachel shouted as Quinn searched for her phone under the piles of clothes that surrounded their bedroom floor.
"I can't It's San's ringtone, and we've already let it go to voicemail five times. If neither of us answers she is going to barge in here and kill us! She's probably just worried, because I never called her back last night."
What Quinn and Rachel didn't know was that Santana wasn't worried, at least not for the reasons that Quinn considered. When Ishmael started to hear the moans and shouts coming from his daughter's bedroom he quickly gathered his things for the night and called Santana. There was no way he was spending the night in that apartment if those sounds were to remain throughout the night.
"Hello"Quinn answered hesitantly.
"Fabray! It's about damn time that you answer your phone! I know that you and Berry are busy getting your mack on, but YOUR father in law is here wondering if it will ever be okay to step foot in that apartment again. You two really scarred him for life."Santana chuckled the last part of her rant.
"Shit" Quinn muttered under her breath.
"Is he okay? Did you pick him up last night? Let him know that I am so sorry it was never my intention for things to happen the way that they did, but one thing lead to another and before we both knew it… well you know."
"No I don't know please do tell." Santana teased as she recognized the embarrassed tone coming from Quinn's voice.
"Santana I'm serious is he okay?"
"What's going on sweetie?" Rachel asked from her bedside as she grew concerned with Quinn's outburst.
"Nothing it's just that last night your father left our apartment after, well you know?" Quinn mumbled as she motioned between her naked body and Rachel's underneath the covers, instantly her normal porcelain cheeks became a shade of rosy pink and Rachel couldn't help but smile. She loved how shy Quinn became whenever it came to discussing their intimacy.
"Why are you smiling Rachel? Your father, my father in law heard us last night! He felt so uncomfortable that he had to leave this very apartment!"
"Baby, calm down I'm sure he's fine and plus it's not like that would be the first time." Rachel said with a wink.
"Rachel! That's not funny, I feel terrible!"Quinn said with a pout as Santana shouted over the phone.
"Fabray! Quit talking to your wife and pay attention!"
"Sorry, I was just letting Rach know the reason behind your call."
"Yea well Ishmael just wanted me to let you both know that your little encounter caused both Berry to miss their flights this morning, and he also wanted to know if it was safe to go back home?"Quinn let out a long sigh before she spoke.
"I am aware of that, Rachel actually rescheduled their flight for later on tonight, and I'm going to meet up with them Friday after noon, and he can def come home, does he need me to pick him up?"
"No I can give him a ride, have you guys had lunch yet? And I think it's great that you both are taking some time to get away from here. It will be refreshing, and that's just what you need."Quinn shrugged before she spoke.
"Thanks I hope so, and no we haven't eaten, do you mind picking something up on the way?"
"No hay problema, and you have nothing to worry about Q, it'll be the perfect get away, plus I'm sure Judy is dying to see you."
"That she is, and if I'm honest I miss her as well as my sister and the kids." Quinn said with a smile as she pictured what it would be like to spend time with her family.
"Okay blondie, I'll see you and short stuff in a bit and you both better be dressed! I don't need a reason to barf before we even have lunch." Santana hung up before Quinn even had a chance to reply.
"What's wrong baby?" Rachel asked as she motioned for Quinn to rejoin her on the bed.
"Nothing it's just Santana Lopez being Santana Lopez." Quinn said as she nuzzled up to the crook of Rachel's neck causing her to giggle.
"I love that."
"My neck?"
"Well that too, but I meant your giggle, I could listen to that for days and never get tired of it" Rachel smiled, and leaned in to capture Quinn's lips with her own.
"Babe as much as I enjoy this, and trust me I really enjoy this, we really have to get up and get dressed because Santana and your father on their way and I really don't need any more of Santana's teasing."
"Ugh Quinn but I've really missed this, couldn't they just drop off the food and give us some more privacy? I mean I am leaving later on tonight, and I won't see you again until Friday."Rachel gave her a pout, but she was quickly met with Quinn's arched eyebrow, and smirk.
"Rach that's only a couple of days away, before you know it I will be right with you so we can spend some time with our god child, and spoil her for all the time that we've missed out on." Rachel squealed causing Quinn to break out in laughter.
"What was that all about?"
"I'm just excited! Who would have thought that I would ever be excited to spend some time in Lima, all I ever wanted to do was get away from that place, and now I can't wait to head back, and spend some quality time with my wife and family."Quinn looked straight into Rachel's eyes allowing herself to get lost in her favorite pair of dark brown eyes, her safe haven, her home.
"What's wrong?" Rachel asked when Quinn didn't speak.
"Nothing, I was just focusing on what you were saying, and I couldn't help but lose myself in your eyes."
"Baby…" Rachel said as a tear rolled down her face.
"Aw Rach, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you."Quinn said as she wrapped her arms around Rachel.
"You haven't upset me Quinn, on the contrary you have made me very happy, and I assure you that these tears are happy tears, but it does make it harder to leave you tonight."
"It will only be for a couple of days babe"
"I know, but I'm afraid of leaving our bubble now that we have found it again."
"Don't worry about that Rach, we'll be fine. This trip will do us both some good you just wait and see. Now let's get out of bed and get ready because they won't be any longer."
Just as Rachel was making her way into the living room she heard a knock coming from the front door.
"About freaking time Rachel, no don't worry I don't need any help." Santana said as she made her way to the kitchen with the bags of food in her hands.
"Santana my daddy is already helping you, and you only knocked once! You haven't had your coffee yet have you?" Rachel asked as she crossed her arms. Santana glared at her and flipped her off while Ishmael took out some plates for the Chinese food.
"Santana that was highly uncalled for!" Rachel said as she pulled out the instant coffee she had purchased after her first encounter with Quinn.
"I'm sorry it's just that my coffee spilled on the way here, and I had only taken one sip!" Santana said with a big pout on her face.
While Rachel was busy preparing Santana her coffee Quinn snuck behind her and held her from her waist.
"That smells so good; did you get a new coffee pot?"Quinn felt Rachel tense up and immediately regretted what she had asked.
"No I haven't I just got some instant coffee because I haven't had time to go look for a new pot, and Santana is in desperate need of caffeine."
"I heard that!" Santana shouted from where she was sitting at the breakfast bar.
"That's because it was intended." Rachel said as handed Santana her coffee.
"Rach can I talk to you really quick?"
"Sure, what's wrong?" Rachel asked as she followed Quinn into their bedroom.
"I um I just wanted to apologize about the whole coffee pot incident. I didn't even mean to bring it up, and I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable by doing that."
"You don't need to apologize Quinn, I mean it did make me a bit uncomfortable, but only because it reminded me of how hard it was to be near you around that time, especially because I couldn't hold you or touch you. I'm just glad that we found a way to move forward." Rachel said reaching out for Quinn's hand as she gave her a smile.
"Me too" Quinn said before they were interrupted by Santana's shouts.
"Really you two? Ishmael is getting uncomfortable again!"Rachel rolled her eyes as she led Quinn back to the kitchen.
"Daddy, Quinn and I apologize if we made you feel uncomfortable, but I assure you that this time we were just holding a conversation."The older Berry avoided his daughter's eyes as he took a sip from his tea and nodded.
"You have nothing to worry about sweet heart, Santana was exaggerating. I am actually glad you two are really working things out." He said as he glanced to Quinn with a smile letting her know that she had nothing to be worried about.
After lunch Rachel sent Quinn and Santana to the store to buy her some last minute toiletries for the trip.
"So how far did you allow Rachel to get with her packing before you mounted her?" Santana asked, and she was met with a fist to the arm.
"Fabray! You're lucky you're driving or you would so be dead!"
"Whatever Lopez you deserved it!"
"What? Why? I was just wondering!"
"Well it wasn't like that."
"Please stop with all the detail, it's making my head spin out of control."Quinn flipped her off as she reached a red light.
"I don't know if you remember this piece of detail from driver's ed, but you're supposed to keep both hands on the steering wheel!"
"We're at a stop light, and maybe both hands would be on the steering wheel if you stopped being such a jerk!"
"Okay, geez I'm sorry for being insensitive. I forget that you're a bore when it comes to your sex life!"Santana said with a smirk.
"Santana! You're still a bitch you know that?"
"Sure am! But you know I love you, and I'm only messing around. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." She said giving Quinn a pout that caused her to break out into laughter,
"You're such a dork!"
"I am not! I am still as bad ass as ever, and I can still throw it down like we did in Lima Heights!"Quinn just rolled her eyes.
"I'm serious Q!"
"I know you are San, but you have to admit that it's kind of funny to see you lash out like that when you haven't stepped foot back in Lima since we graduated."
"Yea well you can take the girl out of Lima, but you can't take the Lima out of the girl."
"I see that." Quinn said with a smirk.
"Okay Q is you really not going to tell me how you and Rach got your mack on?"Quinn let out a long sigh before she gave in.
"It's really nothing special, for it being our first time in six months, at least, that's not how I expected it to happen. I mean I don't regret it or anything, I just didn't think that it was going to play out that way."
"Come on, I thought we had left Berry at home, would you quit rambling and get to the point?"Quinn arched her eyebrow before she continued.
"She was in the middle of packing her things when I snuck up on her. I was furious and immediately pulled out the wife card on her, letting her know I thought she was selfish for planning to leave without telling me. One thing led to another and before I knew it I pulled her on top of me and we landed on her bed… and well you know the rest."
"Woa so for once you took the charge? That's kind of hot."Santana said giving Quinn a wink.
"God sometimes you're no better than Puck you know that?"
"Pft Puck is more like me! He wishes he had as much game with the ladies as I do"
"San, you haven't dated anyone since B left, aside from the one night stands you've had here and there."Santana didn't say anything at the mention of Brittany and was happy that they had arrived at the store so she could make her escape from the car. Quinn noticed Santana's body language change up, and waited until they were both out of the car to approach her again.
"Have you heard from her? She's here until the end of the week San. Maybe you should go look for her?"Santana just shook her head as she grabbed a shopping kart as she led them inside the store.
"I don't want to bother her Q, if she wanted to speak to me she would have answered her email."
"What if she never got it? From what she sent me it seemed like she never received it, and she asked if Joe was taking care of you. I mean come on Joe was so long ago, if we could even consider him anything more than a cover up, a lie that was used to drive her away in the first place."
"Q can we just drop this! I am in no mood to discuss the whole situation, don't you think I already know that that was where I screwed up the most."
"Okay San, but I am not bringing this up to make you feel bad, I'm simply bringing it up because it implies that she obviously still care about you, and she clearly didn't receive your email, or she would know that there is no Joe, that there never was a Joe."Quinn said as she walked through the deodorant isle.
"I've checked my outbox time and time again Q, it says it sent, so there would be no reason for her not to receive it, and maybe she just asked for me to be polite."
"Okay San, if that's how you want to think then don't mind me and my crazy ideas, but you know Brittany better than anyone else, and you know that she isn't one to hold grudges, so at least hold on to that before you completely dismiss the idea of meeting up with her,"
"Well have you heard from her since you replied?"Quinn smirked before she replied.
"I thought you were done talking about this?"
"Come on Q, you know how hard it is for me to even consider seeing her. I am out on a limb here, and it scares me to admit it, but I would give anything for one more chance to make it right with B,"
"I know San, and I am very proud of you for being honest with yourself and stepping up to the plate. I actually haven't checked my email since last night. I was a bit distracted with Rachel, but if she did you should come with us when we grab lunch."
"Do you think that it would be okay with her? I don't want to show up out of nowhere and throw her off guard,"
"I really don't think it will be an issue, but I'll let her know that you're tagging along just to be sure."
Once they had everything on Rachel's list they made their way to the parking lot, just as they were reaching Quinn's car they heard a familiar voice calling from behind, and neither of them could believe it.
"Q!" Brittany shouted as she ran up to her and scooped her up in her arms.
"B! What are you doing here?" Quinn asked the moment Brittany let her out of the embrace.
"I told you I was in town silly! I know you know because you sent me email, didn't you get my reply? I'm sorry I couldn't meet up with you for dinner we had some last minute practice." She said motioning to the tall, handsome tan guy beside her.
"Sorry to keep her away from you, but she is our best dancer and I really needed her to help me with the new recruits, I'm Luis by the way."The guy said as he offered Quinn his firm hand, and Santana tried as best to keep her face hidden behind Quinn.
"Hi, nice to meet you I'm Quinn, and this lovely lady behind me is Santana." Quinn stepped aside knowing very well that she had sabotaged Santana's plan of hiding.
"San!"Brittany shouted as she rushed to Santana's side and hesitated to hug her.
"I didn't even notice you; I was so excited when I saw Quinn that I didn't pay attention to see if anyone was with her. Can I- is it okay if I hug you?"Involuntarily Santana nodded but didn't say a word; she just allowed her arms to do the talking. God how she had missed the blonde in her arms, it felt so natural and all too familiar. She could swear that nothing had changed except it had, and Brittany's freshly toned arms were proof of that. It was obvious that the girl had been working her ass off.
"You look great San, even better than the last time I saw you. Not that you didn't look good the last time because you've always been hot!" Brittany said causing Santana to blush and smile.
"Thanks Britt Britt, you've always been hot too."Santana stared straight into Brittany sky blue eyes and felt her heart rate begin to raise, in spite of all the time apart Brittany still made her feel like she falling in midst air. Their staring contest was to put to an end the moment they heard someone clear their throat.
"I'm sorry I really hate to steal Brittany from you guys once more but we really need to get going. We have a list of things to get before practice again and we're running short on time." Luis said as he reached for Brittany's hand, and Brittany nodded.
"It was really nice to meet you both; hopefully you guys can make it to our show tomorrow night."
"Yea you guys have to come, and bring Rachel too! I've really missed her too."Brittany said smiling at Quinn.
"Yea, well Rach won't be able to make it because she's off to Lima tonight, but S and I will def be there!"
"I um, actually I don't think I will be able to make it. I have a lot of work and stuff, but I'm sure Q will fill me in." Santana said making sure she avoided Brittany's eyes.
"Q we should get going they're in a hurry and I don't think Berry would appreciate us dragging with her things." Quinn nodded as she reached for Brittany and pulling her in to a warm embrace,
"It was so nice to see you Brit, and I can't wait to see your show tomorrow, maybe we can grab a bite to eat afterwards?"Quinn asked as she pulled away.
"Yea that sounds great, what do you think Lu?" The tall guy gave her a smile and nodded.
"Sure I don't see why not."Brittany squealed with excitement and walked towards Santana.
"Maybe you can meet up with us for dinner, after you're done with work and stuff?" Brittany asked pleadingly, but once more Santana avoided eye contact.
"Yea, I don't know Brittany; I have a lot of stuff to do."
"It's okay, I understand. It was still very nice to see you." Brittany said as she tried to hug Santana, but all she received was a hand shake.
"Yea, you too" Santana said as she reached for the car door.
"Q, can we get going?" Quinn just nodded and gave Brittany an apologetic smile as she walked away.
"I'll see you tomorrow Britt!"
"Okay Q, drive safely."Brittany said as she waved good bye.
"What was that all about?"Quinn asked once they drove off.
"She's with him Q! I lost her and I don't need a constant reminder of that, so there is no way I'm going to be around them just to see the way he fucks her with his eyes! Just the idea of him kissing her makes me sick to my stomach."Santana said as she wiped away any evidence of tears wandering down her face.
"San, you don't know that for sure, and if that is the case what did you expect? You're the one who pushed her away; she had every right to move on."
"Don't you think I know that Quinn? Of course she deserved to start over, but that doesn't mean that I want to be around to witness it. I'm glad she is happy, but I can't tolerate to see her with anyone else."She said as she placed her head in her hands and sobbed.
"Oh San, I'm so sorry, but we don't know for sure that they're together."
"Oh please Q, don't tell me you didn't catch the way he looked at her, and how quick he was to pull her hand out of mine. They're together, and it sucks, because I never stopped loving her! I'm the one that is supposed to look at her that way; MY hands are the ones that are supposed to hold her not his gross gigantic sasquatch hands."Quinn couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
"This isn't funny Q! It really hurts!"Quinn placed a hand on Santana's back.
"Aww hon I'm sorry! I truly am it's just that I couldn't help but find the hand comment funny. You were obviously paying more attention to him than I was." Santana let out a sigh.
"Well of course I was! I had to make sure he was good enough for Britt, and although I hate to admit it, he doesn't have a bad face." Santana said with a pout, and she was right the guy was actually quite good looking; he had jet black hair that was styled in a sort of fohawk and honey brown eyes which gave her dark brown eyes a run for their money.
"You know San aside from the color of his eyes; I would say he was sort of the male version of you." Quinn said with a smirk.
"Oh hell nah! How could you even go there? It's bad enough that I had to admit he was good looking, there is no way we are similar, and plus that would be very weird."Quinn scrunched up her face and nodded.
"Yea you're right that is kind of weird, but I think that you should reconsider going to Britt's show with me. She looked really happy to see you, and it wouldn't hurt to talk things out."
"I don't know, if I had to give you an answer right now I would say no, but I guess I can think about it."
"Good you owe it to yourself, and if you feel uncomfortable at any moment I promise to come up with an excuse so we can leave. I got your back S."Santana gave her a smile and nodded. The rest of the drive to Rachel's apartment was silent, as Santana contemplated whether or not she should go to Brittany's show or at the very least meet them up for dinner. She was really putting herself out there, and even though she was conscious of her wrong doing it didn't make things easier for her.
"What took you guys so long? I was just about to call you."Rachel said the moment Quinn entered through the front door.
"Well I wanted to double check that we got everything on your list, and when I was certain that we had gotten everything we made our way out, but before we got into the car Brittany ran into us."Quinn said glancing at Santana just to make sure it was okay to bring it up.
"Wait Brittany, our Brittany?"
"Yes Rach, I don't know any other one."Quinn said as she handed Rachel the bag with her toiletries.
"Oh my God Santana, how are you feeling? Did you talk to her? What did you say?"
"Woa Berry! One question at a time please" Santana said as she made her way into the living room so Quinn and Rachel followed.
"I'm sorry Santana, but really how are you feeling?"
"I feel the total opposite of what great feels, she moved on Rach, and I know it was stupid of me to think that she didn't but in spite of that I still hoped that she hadn't. I mean I haven't." Santana said as the tears strolled down her face and Rachel pulled her into her arms.
"I am so sorry sweetie, if there was anything I could do to help I would. Maybe you guys need to talk things through?"Santana just shook her head.
"No there is nothing to talk about, I just have to accept the fact that she moved on and that she is doing just fine without me in her life."
"But you don't really know that San, you just assume that she's getting along fine, but it's been so long since you guys spoke to each other how can you know for sure?"
"I know because I saw the smile on her face. I was the only one who ever made her smile like that and now someone else is the reason behind it. What kind of person would I be if I got in the way of that? When you really love someone you have to do whatever is in your hands to make them happy, even if their happiness doesn't include you." Rachel just shook her head at that.
"That is just the thing Santana. You let her go the first time, because you assumed that she would be happier dancing than living here with you, not once did you give her the option to choose you, you chose for her claiming that she had no reason to stay behind because you had fallen in love with Joe, when that wasn't the case at all. What did you expect Brittany to do?"Santana just sobbed in Rachel's arms as Quinn went to the kitchen to make her some tea.
"Shhh sweetie it's okay I promise things will be okay, look at Quinn and I. Who would have thought that we would be where we are now? Nothing is impossible San, if you really love her you should fight for her, or at least let her choose."Santana nodded and tried to speak, but her sobs didn't allow her to.
"I'm scccarr"
"I know it's scary San, trust me. Every single time that I made an effort to reach out to Quinn, I was always surrounded by fear, because I knew that there was always the potential of me getting hurt if Quinn pushed me away, but knowing that there was a slight chance that she might let me in was worth it. That slight chance was reason enough for me to keep holding on." Rachel smiled as Quinn returned with the warm tea and handed it to Santana.
"Thanks Q, thank you both."Santana said once she had taken a sip of her tea and her sobs subsided.
"I really appreciate everything you guys do for me, and I really want to step up and fight for Britt, but every time I consider it, I can't help but think that I don't deserve to have her back in my life. I feel guilty just thinking about getting in the way of her happiness now, especially since it's been so long."
"That's a valid fear to have S, but just like Rach said it's time to let Britt decide, you've been deciding for her and it isn't fair for you to assume that she would send you away the moment you approached her. Besides, while you were busy staring at Luis' hands I was busy staring at the way Brittany looked at you. She looked at you like you were God's gift from heaven."Santana let out a laugh at that and couldn't help but smile.
"Was she really staring at me like that?"Quinn nodded with a smile.
"Yea she was. It kind of reminded me of the way she would stare at you after Cheerio practice when it was time to shower, and well you know the rest of that." She said as she rolled her eyes, and Rachel looked at her with confusion.
"Okay first off who is Luis, and why were you staring at his hands? Second off this isn't fair I wasn't part of any of that! In case you guys somehow forgot I wasn't a big fan of your cheerio days, at least not for the first two years of our high school career. You two were terrible to me!" Quinn got up from where she was sitting and pulled Rachel into a tight hug, as she peppered kisses all over her face.
"I am so sorry baby! But trust me, when it came to what they did in the shower it's best that you don't know, and Luis is the guy that Santana believes to be Brittany's love interest" Santana completely disregarded the whole Luis portion of what Quinn said and skipped to her and Brittany in the shower.
"Oh whatever Fabray! I caught you staring at us plenty of times." Santana said causing Quinn's cheeks to skip rosy pink and go straight for a crimson red.
"Excuse me?" Rachel asked as she smacked Quinn on the arm.
"You did what Quinn Berry Fabray?"
"I did not stare Santana! Couch sent me to look for you guys because you were taking too long and you guys happened to catch me off guard, you swear I would ever want to see you naked." Rachel just arched her eyebrow and crossed her arms.
"How many times did this occur?"
"It was only twice babe, and I promise that the only reason I stared was because they caught me off guard, I wasn't being a creep or anything."Quinn said defensively and it caused both Rachel and Santana to break out into laugher.
"Ugh I hate you both!" Quinn said as she tried to get off the couch, but Rachel pulled her down.
"You liar! You know you love us very much!" Rachel said as she pulled her in for a kiss and Santana attacked them with a throw pillow.
"You two are worse than cats in heat!"She said right as Quinn chucked a pillow to her head.
"Right this coming from the girl who pantsed Brittany in front of the whole school just to have easier access."
"Well it's okay when we did it, because we're a smoking hot duo, but it's kind of awkward when you two do it." She said with a smirk as Rachel scrunched up her face.
"I resent that! My wife IS smoking hot, and I will have you know that we once caused a man on his bike to crash into a tree, just because I gave Quinn a peck on the lips while we strolled through Central Park."
"Thank you baby, and I too happen to think that my wife is smoking hot!" Quinn said as she leaned in to capture Rachel's lips.
"Ugh you guys are hopeless!"Santana said just as Rachel pulled away from Quinn and got up to straddle Santana, leaving behind a very disappointed, and confused Quinn.
"Excuse me wife, but what do you think you're doing?" Quinn asked with an arched eyebrow.
"It's all her Q; I promise I didn't do anything!" Santana shouted from underneath Rachel
"Aww babe don't you see she's jealous, I'm just giving her a little attention, care to join me?" Rachel said with a wink as she began to tickle Santana and Quinn instantly joined in.
"Girls! What's with all the noise out here?" Ishmael asked as he walked out of the guest room with the phone in his hand only to come across the tickle war that could easily be mistaken for something else.
"Ishmael!"Santana shouted
"Pleeaaase geeettt theeem OFF of meee!" She tried to say between breathes.
"Sweet heart I am going to have to let you go, because our girls happen to be suffocating Santana. How is it that I always get to watch over them when they are at their worst?" Ishmael questioned before he hung up.
"Girls how old are we again?"He asked as he helped Santana to her feet.
"Yea how old are you?" Santana questioned right as she tackled both Rachel and Quinn on the couch, and Ishmael could only shake his head as he smiled.
"I'm getting the camera, because your father needs to see this."He shouted as he left the living room without any of them noticing him.
"Santana! Get off your elbow is stabbing my boob!"Quinn shouted which only made Santana lean further down.
"Not until you admit that you would love to see me naked!"
"Quinn will say no such thing!" Rachel shouted as she made her way out of the dog pile and launched at Santana causing Quinn to whimper at the extra weight pressed on to her breast.
"Pleasssseee get off of me! I can already feel my boob bruising up!"
"Santana finally rolled off taking Rachel with her, and Quinn instantly examined her sore breast.
"Quit being a baby Q, it's not like Berry hasn't left bruises on your boobs before!"
"Okay I sure didn't need to hear that." Ishmael said as he returned with the camera in his hands
"Next time a trip to New York needs to be done I'm dragging your father with me."Santana and Rachel couldn't help but laugh as Quinn blushed and apologized to her father in law.
"I hate to break up this pleasing moment but it's already 7pm and we're supposed to be at the airport by 8pm because our flight is at you have everything packed and ready to go honey?" Ishmael asked as he glanced to the bag of toiletries that Quinn had purchased.
"She doesn't" Quinn answered for her and motioned for to get to it.
"You really want to get rid of me that easily?" Rachel asked with a pout and Quinn pulled her into a hug.
"Of course not baby, but you've already missed your flight once today, we can't have you miss it again, especially since I will be meeting up with you soon enough."
"I just wish you were coming with me now"
"I know babe, I wish I was going with you too, but I can't miss work anymore."
"I know" Rachel said with a pout as she walked into her room to pack the rest of her stuff.
"Are you coming with me to drop them off?" Quinn asked Santana as she joined her on the couch.
"I don't know are you guys going to keep making out like cats in heat?" She asked with a smirk which earned her an elbow to the ribs.
"Hey, I was kidding, but I don't know I'm kind of tired I might just head home."
"Oh come on, it's too early for you to go to bed, come with me, and afterwards we can go to my place and order pizza while we catch up on Grey's Anatomy!" Santana rolled her eyes, but nodded with a smile.
"You had me at pizza, but you're buying!"
"Santana how is it that you're the lawyer, and I the guidance counselor is the one buying the pizza?"
"Because it's your house and I'm the guest!"Quinn just rolled her eyes.
"You practically live there, so you're hardly qualified as a guest."
"Well whatever, you're still buying!"
"Fine you cheap ass, but next time it's on you!"
"I am so not cheap! I just bought you and Berry lunch today!" Santana said shoving into Quinn.
"Is it too much to ask you two to act your age?" Rachel asked as she sat on Quinn's lap.
"Yea Berry, because straddling me and tickling me is very mature!"Rachel just laughed and nodded.
"It sure is, and you will agree to it unless you want it to happen again?"
"I will not agree to anything!"She said which caused Quinn to arch her eyebrow.
"Oh yes you will because there is no way that MY wife will ever be straddling you again!"
"What are you afraid of Q? Or is that you rather be straddling me?"Santana asked with a smirk.
"In your dreams Lopez!"
"Are you sure it's not in yours?"Santana asked causing Quinn to blush once more.
"You know what, it's getting late we really need to get going." Quinn said as she tried to get off the couch, but Rachel pulled her down.
"Exactly when did you have this dream?"Rachel asked with a raised eyebrow, and Quinn let out a long sigh.
"I wasn't straddling her, I had a dream that I walked in on her and Brittany in the choir room and Brittany asked me to join them, but nothing happened because my alarm went off, and this was during my pregnancy okay, so we weren't together yet, it's more embarrassing than anything." Quinn said with a pout, which caused Santana to laugh.
"You two are big jerks!" Quinn shouted as she made her way to the door.
"Oh and Santana you're uninvited to our Grey's marathon!"
"What! Why? I was only joking around! Q please! I really want to get my Calzona on!"Rachel just smiled as she watched Santana chase after Quinn. She couldn't believe that things were actually going back to the way they were before their high school reunion. She didn't want to jinx anything, but she was really happy, and found comfort in knowing that Quinn would be joining her in Lima very soon.
Yea I suck for the length of my hiatus, but this fic still has quite a lot to be covered before it reaches its finish line. I hope you guys are still coming along for the run, and that you forgive me : (
