Christmas had arrived before Quinn knew it. Work had been consuming and draining, but it had made the time pass quickly and now she was moments away from seeing Rachel again. They were going to be in Lima for 3 days and then she was heading to Boston to see Beth, before spending two days with her Mom and then returning to New York to spend New years with Rachel. They'd agreed shortly after she'd returned to California that they wanted to see in the new year together and New York sounded perfect to Quinn. Rachel would be in LA the week after and Quinn couldn't wait to finally have the chance to make this work.
It had been over three months since the reunion and things had been different, she felt like she had another reason in her life, it wasn't just all work. Seeing Rachel, even though it was sporadic, was the thing she worked towards.
Sometimes she wondered how life would have been if she'd realized all this five years ago. If when she had the chance at high school, she'd been able to accept her feelings and go for it, but life had changed her and it wasn't all bad, she actually felt that now she was more able to be with Rachel, to love her, if that's what it was? Quinn was pretty sure it was, but even that felt new and she wasn't sure. Yet at the end of each day, the second she heard Rachel's voice was the moment she felt complete and she knew that mattered.
In three months they'd managed a lacklustre date in L.A. and a sort of date in New York. Two dates and now a Hanukkah and Christmas combined with the Berry family was up next. She'd complain, but actually the thought of spending the holidays with Rachel and her family made her happier than she'd felt in years. She was excited about Christmas for the first time since she was a kid and she'd been happily shopping for gifts all week.
When she got out of baggage claim she saw her immediately. Rachel Berry was stood dressed in what she had possibly thought looked like a chauffeurs uniform, holding a sign for 'Lucy Fabray' Quinn laughed the second she saw her, but her heart was so full that she thought it'd burst.
"I went for Lucy, I thought it was discreet." Rachel grinned as Quinn approached. She pulled her into a long hug and knew that discreet was not happening.
"Happy Christmas Rach." she whispered into her ear.
"Happy Hanukkah." Rachel pressed a kiss to Quinn's cheek, before picking up her bags and taking her to the car.
"You're driving?" Quinn pretended to be scared.
"It was the plan." Rachel threw Quinn the keys. "but if you want?"
"No, sorry. That was rude, you're a great, um a good, um yeah you drive."
Rachel laughed and it sounded so good, Quinn wanted to pull her back into her arms and kiss her properly, but there were a lot of people around and Rachel's laugh had made them turn and look at the pair, so instead she got into the car and prayed Rachel would take it easy on the roads.

"My Dads are busy this afternoon, so we'll put your bags away and then you can help me with the cooking. I have some cookies to bake and then a sauce...there is a lot to do."
Quinn picked up her bag and headed upstairs with Rachel just behind her.
"I'm so tired though, I don't know if I'll last through the carols tonight."
"You'll be fine, and if you even think about dozing off I'll poke you."
"Um, no." Quinn glared at Rachel, but her old fierceness was gone.
"What are you doing?" Rachel asked as Quinn opened the door to the guest room.
"Putting my bags...I just assumed?"
"Stay in the guest room if you want? I just thought it'd be nice if you were in with me."
"Much nicer, yes." Quinn agreed and quickly changed her route to Rachel's room. Once inside she put her bags down before turning around and facing Rachel. "You are so beautiful." she said as she took a step closer and placed her hands on Rachel's hips, tilting her head to one side and placing a soft kiss to the lips she dreamt of at night. Rachel's arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into her body, until they were pressed tightly together. The brunette looked up to meet Quinn's eye.
"I missed you so much." Rachel's breath ghosted across her lips as she initiated a second kiss. She moaned as the brunettes lips glided against her own, Rachel's tongue flicked against her bottom lip and she willingly allowed it access, their tongues moved in slow languid strokes as Quinn tried to savor every moment. Her hand was now in Rachel's hair, holding her firmly in place as she tried to get more from the kiss.
"Fuck." She gasped as Rachel bit down on her bottom lip. Her hands instantly began tugging at Rachel's shirt as she craved the touch of her skin.
"Touch me." Rachel husked and Quinn couldn't get her hands onto her skin quickly enough, she let them enjoy the feel of the soft flesh of her stomach, but then Rachel's hands were on top of hers. "Touch me here." She lifted Quinn's to her breast and Quinn couldn't suppress a moan.
"Rachel, I..."
She was cut off by Rachel's lips attacking hers feverishly and pushing her back towards the bed.
"I want you, I've thought of nothing but you. Please Quinn." Rachel moved her lips to Quinn's neck and sucked at her pulse point. "I wasn't ready at Thanksgiving, but I am now."
"This isn't quite what I planned, I thought you wanted a few dates? And I wanted it to be all kinds of special." Quinn struggled to speak, she couldn't get over the feel of Rachel's lips on her skin, she wanted her so badly, but didn't want to mess this up by getting carried away.
Rachel pulled her head back and looked at Quinn. "Being with you, feeling like this, is special. Are you saying you don't want this?" Rachel pushed Quinn down onto the bed, not stopping her hands from working away at the buttons on her shirt.
"No, no, no." Quinn flipped Rachel onto her back and moved so that she was straddling her hips. "I so want this." Her lips met Rachel's before tracing a path down towards her neck and then her collar bone. She lifted Rachel's shirt over her head and swiftly unhooked her bra, pausing to admire the sight before her.
"You really are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Quinn's said as she brought her mouth down and encased one of Rachel's hardened nipples with her lips, sucking it and flicking it with her tongue, her left hand kneading and caressing the other, while her hips ground into Rachel.
"So you are a top?" Quinn stopped and looked up at Rachel, a smirk firmly in place as she surrendered her hold on Rachel's nipple with a little nip that made Rachel groan with pleasure.
"Is that really a surprise?"
"I like to switch sometimes." Rachel mused.
"Good." Quinn grinned before running her hand through the valley between Rachel's breasts, across her stomach and stopping as she reached the waistband of her skirt, she tugged playfully and was met with a giggle and a nod from Rachel.
"But you're wearing too much." Quinn yielded as Rachel finished the job she'd started before, unbuttoning the rest of her shirt and throwing it to one side. She saw the look on Rachel's face when she discovered there was no bra inhibiting her view and moaned with pleasure when Rachel's lips attached to her nipple. The feel of Rachel's hands against her skin was driving her wild and she felt like she was about to lose control.
She let her hands explore the length of Rachel's back, scratching her nails along the tanned skin before bringing them back around to Rachel's stomach, her light touch made Rachel giggle and she committed the spot to memory, she wanted to see how her tongue would make Rachel react later. Her focus returned to Rachel's breasts, she couldn't resist the tender mounds of flesh and groaned as she squeezed them, her thumb flicked across the hardened nipples and Rachel mewled. All the while Rachel was busy running her tongue around Quinn's nipple, teasing her and making her wetter than she ever thought possible, the blood rushing between her thighs was becoming uncomfortable and she knew she either had to stop now or she'd not be able to.
"Are you sure?" she asked one final time, Rachel nodded at Quinn's question and she returned her attention to the insanely short skirt that Rachel had chosen to wear with her chauffeurs outfit. Slowly removing the skirt, before hooking her finger under the elastic of the black lace panties, quickly throwing them to one side. She crawled back up the bed, leaving a trail of kisses on Rachel's calf and then thigh as she made her way towards Rachel's heat. She looked up and saw brown orbs watching her with a hunger that Quinn could only imagine was mirrored in her own eyes.
Her focus then locked on her destination and she wet her lips at the very thought of finally being able to taste Rachel Berry. Running her tongue along Rachel's wet folds, relishing in her first taste of the other woman, she moaned with pleasure and licked again, causing Rachel to do the same.
"Please Quinn." Rachel called out.
"What do you need?"
"I need you, I need you inside me." Rachel's hips cantered up towards Quinn and she locked them down with her arm, before letting her tongue tease Rachel's clit, moving in slow, gentle circles. Her fingers were covered in Rachel wetness and Quinn couldn't believe she'd got Rachel so turned on, so quickly, but knew her own panties would soon be soaked if Rachel kept making those noises. Quinn slowly pushed one finger inside, feeling the warm, wet walls clench around it. "More." Rachel husked after a minute and Quinn added a second finger. Moving it in an out slowly, pushing deeper and deeper with each stroke. Her mind was fuzzy as she indulged in the sensation of being in Rachel, making Rachel whimper and moan at her touch. Rachel's hips began to thrust into her and she could feel the brunette was getting close, her mouth wrapped around the little bundle of nerves, making Rachel cry out again as she gently bit down, Quinn was in a lusty haze as she continued to pump in and out of Rachel with her hand, she'd never imagined fucking Rachel Berry would feel this good. She tried curling her fingers to seek out that magic spot and was rewarded as Rachel screamed out her name. Quinn hastened her movements, alternating between thrusting deep and curling, while her tongue lapped and licked at Rachel's clit. The noises that she was eliciting from Rachel were threatening to bring on her own orgasm and she knew it wouldn't take much now for her to let go.
"Come for me Rachel." She urged as Rachel's movements became more intent, with one final push she felt her come undone and Rachel's walls clamped around her fingers as she rode wave after wave of her orgasm, she ground down onto Rachel's thigh and felt her own orgasm fill her body. Quinn wanted it to last forever, but soon felt a hand in her hair pulling her up the bed, she met Rachel's eyes and wantonly licked her lips. "You taste so fucking good."

"My turn." Rachel grinned as she flipped Quinn onto her back, her hands eagerly working at the button on Quinn's jeans, while she allowed her lips to finally press against the abs she'd been admiring for the last few months. Rachel shuddered at how good it felt to finally touch Quinn, but she needed more, she wanted to be inside her. Finally she worked Quinn's jeans free and then swiftly removed her panties. Her fingers danced across the soft pale skin of the woman beneath her as she worked a path towards Quinn's heat. Her eyes focussed on her destination as she ran a finger through Quinn's wetness. Bringing it to her mouth and sucking off the juices, her eyes locked with Quinn's as she took her first taste and hummed. "So good."
"Fuck Rach, I need you, now!"
Rachel smirked before returning her hand to Quinn and entering her with two fingers, she moved in and out at a slow pace, but Quinn was needy and jerked desperately beneath her, trying to increase the friction, she was still on fire after watching Rachel come before and as Rachel wrapped her lips around one of Quinn's nipples, sucking it between her teeth, Quinn felt a coil tighten in her stomach and a white heat began to engulf her entire body. Rachel's hand was pumping faster now and Quinn yelped as a third finger thrust inside her, her hands flew to her sides and gripped at the bed sheets as the burning sensation unleashed itself and stars exploded behind her eyes. As her breathing returned to normal, she wrapped Rachel in her arms, pulling her close and gently caressing her skin, wanting to feel every part of her body, needing to be closer.
They lay together, touching and lazily getting to know each others bodies, before Quinn propped her head up on her hand and looked at Rachel with a glint in her eye.
"I want to do that again."
Rachel laughed, but was already on top of Quinn, moving down her body with slow kisses, before running her tongue through Quinn's wetness. Quinn bucked and Rachel darted her tongue inside, it wasn't long before she made her come again and not to be outdone, Quinn thrust three fingers into Rachel, filling her completely and soon Rachel screamed Quinn's name as her second orgasm ripped through her body. Their bodies glistened with beads of sweat as Quinn collapsed next to Rachel and closed her eyes.
"So can I take a nap before tonight?" Quinn asked sleepily.
"Mmm, just set an alarm for an hour, we can get away with an hour." Rachel relented her own fatigue taking over.
"Good, rest now, more sex later."
"Definitely more sex." Rachel murmured as she felt Quinn's arm wrap around her.

When they emerged from Rachel's room, freshly showered and changed, it was to find her Dads talking in the kitchen.
"Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah." Quinn walked in and placed a kiss on both of their cheeks. She couldn't help but notice that Leroy was cold with her and it didn't take long to find out why.
"So you two are dating? I think perhaps this is something you should have told us, your Daddy is lucky he didn't have to hear the noises I was subjected to." Leroy huffed, he was still a little stunned from walking into the house earlier to hear his own daughter having sex.
"I may have known." Hiram spoke in a hushed tone and ducked when Leroy focussed his gaze on him.
"Well, you could have told me! How long's this been going on?"
Rachel rested her hand on Hiram's shoulder and addressed Leroy.
"I should have told you, but it's been a bit off and on, well mostly on and we like each other, but we aren't, um, it's early and new, I don't really know what we are, we're um dating?" Rachel stuttered over her words, her confidence fading under her fathers glare.
"Hmm very new from the sound of it." Leroy quipped.
"Oh god, what did you hear?" Rachel's hand flew to her mouth in shock. "No don't answer that." She added a second later.
"I kinda want to forget anyway." Leroy struggled to meet his daughters eye and instead settled on staring down Quinn.
Quinn was bright red, she'd just got to know this family and now she was mortified they'd heard all that went on earlier. Rachel was loud, Quinn had always thought she might be, but in the heat of the moment she'd got lost in the sounds and found herself joining in. She couldn't speak, she wanted to say something but words eluded her as she felt the weight of Leroy's stare on her.
"Daddy stop, you like Quinn."
"That was before I found out that she was having sex with my baby girl."
"She's still the same person, please don't do this. We, it was me. I made her."
"You what?" Leroy turned to Rachel in shock.
"No, I mean, I was the one. Oh god this is so complicated. I couldn't wait any longer and I'm sorry it was in your house, but I didn't want to wait until we got to Los Angeles just in case..."
"In case what?" Quinn found her voice and was now looking at Rachel curiously, wondering why it couldn't wait.
"Nothing, I just...I wanted it to be here, well not so much here exactly, but somewhere we were happy and then it felt so right earlier. I wanted you and..."
Leroy coughed, clearly not comfortable with the direction Rachel was going.
"Sure." Quinn mumbled, but she knew Rachel meant not in L.A, not after the way Quinn had behaved last time and it stung. She didn't get to dwell on those thoughts as Hiram wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a reassuring hug that she willingly accepted.
"We love you Quinn, don't listen to Leroy."
"You should listen to me! I'm the only one around here that talks sense. This is still my house and although you are both adults now, I still think its inappropriate to make so much noise in another persons home." Leroy stopped and looked at the reddened faces in front of him, calming slightly when he saw Hiram roll his eyes. "but fine, if you must. I like you Quinn and I like that you seem to care a lot about Rachel. So I will back off, but just you make sure you take good care of my girl, or you'll have me to answer to."
"If she'll let me." Quinn replied and she noticed Rachel look at her confusedly before she quickly diverted her gaze.
"Then lets try to enjoy this holiday and no more threats, Leroy?" Hiram looked at his husband pointedly and Quinn was glad that she had escaped that encounter relatively unscathed.
"What's that smell?" Rachel asked as she moved to take Quinn's hand.
"I made the cookies, I gathered you were too busy." Leroy chided as he walked out of the kitchen.

They enjoyed a meal together that night after the carols had been sung. Rachel had been at her side the whole time and it had felt perfect, but Quinn couldn't stop thinking about what Rachel had said in the kitchen earlier and the obvious fact that she was still holding back her emotions.
"What's up?" Rachel dragged Quinn onto her bed later that night.
"Nothing, really. I'm just exhausted."
"My Dads fine, he doesn't really have a problem."
"It's not that."
"Then what?"
"I don't know Rachel, sometimes I just feel like you're keeping something from me."
Rachel took Quinn's hand. "I'm trying to give you all of me, but its not easy. Just give me some time please."
"You're still scared about being in the same city and that is hard for me because I can't think of anything better."
"Quinn..." Rachel took a deep breath before looking into her hazel eyes. "You're right, nothing sounds better. I love talking to you everyday, the fact that soon I'm going to be able to see you, it just kind of blows my mind."
"And we're going to be okay?"
"We are, I'm excited, I really am. It means we can actually date properly, its been fun the last few months, but it's not enough. I know you feel that too and earlier I couldn't even tell my Dads what we are, because we don't even know, so don't be mad at me."
"I'm not, I just thought..."
"Don't worry about the silly things that are going on in my head, they aren't important."
Quinn rested her head on the pillow, she wasn't convinced but she was too tired to argue and in too deep to care. Rachel's lips were moving gently against her forearm and it made her shiver. Arching her head up she hooked her hand around Rachel's neck and pulled her in for a lingering kiss, losing herself in the feel of the other woman's lips and forgetting her fears.
Rachel's hands began to roam and Quinn knew where she was headed.
"You'd better be quiet." She said as she moved her hand into Rachel's pants.
"I'm not sure I can be." Rachel gasped as Quinn cupped her core, she was already wet and needed her.
"Then maybe we shouldn't?" Quinn teased as her fingers ran through the damp material of Rachel's panties.
"Oh we should, we really should." Rachel grinned.
Rachel's hand moved between their bodies until she was cupping Quinn's heat. Her fingers poised. "But I want to come together this time."
"Fuck." Quinn couldn't resist that invitation as she pushed the panties to one side and entered Rachel with two long fingers, Rachel copied her actions and their bodies began moving rhythmically together.
Biting her own lip as she felt her orgasm build, she quickly moved her left hand and clamped it over Rachel's mouth, Rachel's eyes went wide for a second, but Quinn's fingers were now thrusting harder and her palm was slapping against her clit perfectly. She could feel Rachel's muscles tightening around her and rocked herself into Rachel's hand as they came together. Once she'd calmed her breathing Rachel rolled onto her back in a fit of laughter.
"Oh my god, you gagged me."
"I had no fucking choice." Quinn whispered harshly. "You can't help yourself, I bet Leroy is having nightmares about all the strange noises coming from in here."
"I don't want to think about my Dad, I just want to enjoy the fact that I, Rachel Berry, am having amazing sex with you, Quinn Fabray. That is hot."
"So hot!"
"Hold me?" Rachel asked, her voice softer now and Quinn shifted in the bed so that she could spoon the other woman.
They lay there in silence, holding onto each other as Quinn ran her fingers through Rachel's hair.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Quinn asked hesitantly. "I mean official. I know we have all this blurry stuff about dating and things, but I'm serious. I want this to go somewhere. So will you?"
Rachel stiffened slightly, she had her eyes closed, not that Quinn could see. Eventually she rolled over in Quinn's arms so that they were facing each other and looked into Quinn's, now worried, hazel eyes. "I'd love that." Her voice filled with emotion as she whispered her reply and Quinn captured her lips in a tender kiss.
"My girlfriend." She said through a smile and held Rachel a little tighter

A/N:
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you all.
I'll aim to have chapter 10 on here by New Year's Eve, but I'm going to try and enjoy my holidays now.
And if you wanted to get me something for Christmas? Well, a review would be nice...*hint*
