Quinn hopped in her car and drove to Yale on a cold and rainy morning. She arrived there spotting her friend stood by a wall leaning her head against it. She sauntered over her hair bobbing above her shoulders as she did so.

"Hey you…" Quinn said huskily.

"Quinn… Hey girl how are you?"

Quinn's lips turned up at the corners as she smiled briefly.

"Before you answer that… my, my have I heard some interesting things about you over the weekend!" Quinn's smile faded.

"Oh… Like what?"

"You have a freaking kid Quinn!"

"Oh Lily… you don't believe that do you? It's just rumours…"

"Apparently your 'BFF' told Gina everything…"

"Oh…"

"Speaking of your 'BFF' apparently Gina walked in on you and her making out on the bed!"

"How do you know all this?"

"So it's true?"

"No I didn't say that… I mean how do you know...how did you find out… how did this get to you?"

"News travel's fast. And anyway… I just wanna ask you a simple question."

"Yes Lily?"

"Did you have a baby? I mean like seriously?"

"Yes okay? I did! And if you have a problem with that then say it too my face right here right now!"

"No… I don't have a problem with that… it's just intriguing that's all! Who's the baby Daddy? How old is the kid? What was it like? Did people call you a slut? Was it painful? Do you live with the kid?"

"Oh My God! Lily what is this 20 questions?"

"Yes. Answer."

"The baby Daddy was this super sweet if not slightly bad ass guy called Puck… well Noah… but anyways… Beth… my daughter is just a little baby… Yes there were a few rumours… the whispers in the hallways the pointing… all that but I got through it! It was extremely painful… but I guess I've kinda got over it."

"Oh… okay interesting. You could have told me it's cool hun. What really interests me though… is this whole making out thing. What's wrong wid you girl?"

"It just happened okay… Like I told Gina… we were experimenting nothing wrong with that!"

"But she's a girl and a lesbian."

"So? Seriously Lily. There's nothing wrong with that don't be so judgemental."

"I'm not okay… It's just kinda creepy."

"No it's not okay… gay is okay!"

"Oh I see! YOU'RE a lesbian! I knew it!"

"No! I never said that! Don't go spreading any rumours okay because I'm not I have a boyfriend!"

"Really? Planning on having any kids with him? Slut."

With that Lily walked off her head shaking with laughter. Quinn stood still shaking her head . The tears began stinging in her eyes causing her to sniff and wipe her eyes roughly. The day was long and even though she was as mad as hell at Santana she was glad to get home.

Santana was sleeping on the sofa when the door shifted open and Quinn walked in the tear stains on her cheeks. Santana's eyes snapped open and she sat up on the sofa looking at the blonde.

"Hey Quinn…"

Quinn nodded at her, her hand balled into a fist her face turning paler than it was already.

Santana stood up stretching her arms and yawning carelessly. Quinn noticed how toned the girl was looking… more than usual.

"Yeah I've been working out… nice of you to notice…" Santana threw the girl a cheeky wink, walking towards her, placing a hand on her shoulder sympathetically. Quinn smiled faintly sighing deeply.

"How was a day at the office honey?" Santana said still joking around.

"Sucked balls but why do you care? You caused all the pain I'm going through right now!"

Santana cocked her head to the side shaking her head.

"Oh really? How's it MY fault?"

"You told Gina that I had a baby and now it's all around school and you had to hypnotise me with your lady charms!" Santana scoffed smirking widely.

"My 'lady charms'?" Santana burst out laughing her tong rolling in her mouth.

"It's not funny! I'm the joke of Yale! I was in a secret sorority! Well I'm not in that anymore! They're calling me… a… a lesbian…" There was an eerie silence between them. Santana swallowed thickly.

"So? You know if you are… it's fine Quinn."

"But I'm not that's the thing! It's just whenever I'm with you… I feel different."

"Oh. Different how?"

"I just… I feel like everything seems right… I get tingles…"

"Tingles?"

"Yeah tingles. When I was with Sam or Puck or any guys I've ever dated… I don't get these tingles."

"Oh. Uh…"

"Uh? What does that mean? Are you freaked out?"

"I don't know… I just… Quinn I don't know what you're saying?"

"I'm saying… I really, really like you…"

"I like you too Quinn. You're my best friend."
"No… I love you." Santana's lips opened slightly and she jolted her head, thinking things through. Quinn looked away then leaned forward throwing Santana the same old look. Her lips sank into Santana's and Santana leaned closer. "You're magical." Quinn whispered causing a small laugh to escape Santana's lips.

"Well… I have uh… things to do." Santana whispered, clearing her throat. She tapped her finger on the tip of Quinn's nose then scurried out of the door.

Santana fell through the front door spluttering and giggling causing Quinn to rush out of her bedroom with fright. Quinn spotted Santana collapsed on the floor making a sort of cooing noise. Quinn walked closer to the brunette and shifted her off of the floor and on to the sofa.

"Quinn you have a really nice nose!" Santana spluttered. Quinn giggled bashfully, gazing at Santana.

"And your hair is super soft… like really." Santana whispered stroking Quinn's hair. "And your eyebrows! They're so fluffy!" Quinn's eyes glowed with affection. She chuckled to herself then tucked Santana up under her blanket.

"Goodnight babe… I love you." Quinn whispered the last part, planting a soft kiss on Santana's forehead.

"I love you too Quinny."

With that Quinn tip toed out of the room and slipped into bed sighing heavily. She had fallen for Santana… and she had fallen hard.
