Next little story in this series. Was originally going to make it M rated, but once I got into writing it, I just couldn't get the smut to come out of me. I'm hoping for something soon though, I know you guys want Kylie's conception. I'm still trying to come up with the perfect scenario for it.

She stretched as she made her way off of the elevator. After spending the last two weeks in London for a photo shoot, she was happy to be returning home. As much as she didn't want to take the job, Rachel had talked her into it. Told her it would be the breakthrough she'd need to further build her photography career.

Quinn brought her two suitcases to a rest beside her and laid a bouquet of roses on top before digging out her keys from her purse. She made a last minute decision to change her flight time to surprise Rachel. She carefully pushed the door open – not wanting to make too much noise. Once she was inside, her suitcases and shoes became abandoned at the door. With the roses clenched in her hand, she proceeded to make her way through the apartment in search of her girlfriend.

The gentle voice that was Rachel's echoed some from the nursery. She was singing a song that Quinn didn't know. It didn't matter though, because just hearing her sing was enough to make her smile.

Quinn leaned against the door frame, arms folded over her chest as she watched the brunette stand on the tips of her toes to hang a new curtain. It was one she must have purchased while the blonde was in London since Quinn knew she'd never seen it before.

"Hey there gorgeous."

Rachel nearly screamed, her hand flew up to her chest as she spun around. "Quinn!" The brunette rushed to the blonde at the door to wrap her arms around her. Well, more like waddled to her, since she was nearly 8 months pregnant. "I thought you didn't get in until tonight?"

Before the blonde responded she dipped her head to capture her girlfriend's lips in a long, passionate kiss. "I was originally." She allowed her fingers to get lost in Rachel's long brown waves before dipping down for yet another kiss.

"How was your flight?" Rachel was barely able to force out. Seeing her girlfriend home nearly 6 hours before she was expected made her feel like she was floating.

"Long." The blonde moved her arms back around Rachel's waist and pulled their bodies together. "God I missed you."

They remained in one another arms for several minutes, simply enjoying the feeling of the other in their arms. Two weeks apart wasn't the longest they'd been apart due to Quinn's job, but it was the only time Quinn had traveled since they discovered Rachel was pregnant. "Kylie missed me too." Quinn laughed softly when she felt a very familiar kick against her own stomach. "Hey honey." She placed her hand on the side of Rachel's swollen stomach and caressed the skin gently. "I missed you too sweetie." Her thumb traced over the spot Kylie was kicking and smiled when the movement stopped.

"She hasn't been very good for mommy while you've been gone. She really did miss you Quinn." The moment Rachel felt her girlfriend's lips against hers she squeaked and pulled away. "I have to show you what I got!" Rachel grabbed the taller woman's hand before pulling her toward the dresser. "It's so perfect. I found it when Brittany and I went to the mall last weekend."

Quinn placed her hand on the top of the dresser and peered over Rachel's shoulder as she pulled open the second drawer. After rummaging through some new born to 3 month sized clothing, she pulled out an infant's hoodie. The minute Rachel unfolded it Quinn burst into laughter. "Where on earth did you find this thing?"

"There's apparently a new gay friendly boutique in the mall. They had it in all different colors too. But I figured purple would be best since it's your favorite color."

"Proud of my Rainbow heritage. Rachel… this is just too cute." She held up the hoodie to examine it some. "You even thought ahead to get her one for 6 to 9 months, where she'll actually be able to wear it."

"It might be a little big on her, but it will definitely enough to keep her warm. I also got a yellow one for her to wear next year too."

"You didn't…" Quinn folded the small article of clothing and placed it back in the drawer as Rachel pulled out the other top. "Oh my goodness, you did…"

"It was Brittany's idea, I swear!" Rachel was quick to defend.

Quinn just shook her head. "I think they're adorable. Maybe this weekend you can show me this store?"

"That would be wonderful! I saw so many things I wanted to get but I wanted to ask you about it first." Rachel folded the two pieces of clothing back up and placed them back in the bottom of the drawer. "But first, Kylie and I are very hungry, and I'm sure you are too from that long flight from London."

"Plus I'm really tired." Quinn allowed herself to be led out of the nursery and into the kitchen where she sat on one of the bar stools.

"Well, I'll tell you what." Rachel wrapped her arms around the taller blonde from behind and pressed her body against her back before whispering in her ear. "Why don't you go take a long, hot shower and a nap… and I'll order Chinese for all three of us."

"How about…" Quinn leaned her head back against Rachel's chest and placed her hand on one of the arms that was around her torso. "I go get a shower, you order food, then we both lay down for a nap."

Rachel leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on Quinn's cheek before standing upright. "I like that idea best."

Quinn stretched her stiff limbs before standing to go into their bedroom for a shower. Half way there she paused to glance into the nursery. In a few short weeks they'd be blessed with their first child. A child that Quinn and Rachel both hoped would love them unconditionally, regardless of them both being female. Non-traditional families were hard to come by, but thankfully, living in New York, they wouldn't have the same problems that Rachel faced growing up in western Ohio. They could raise a child with nobody giving them a second glance.

She smiled softly before finishing her trek to the bathroom for a much needed shower.

Ideas for future stories still welcome. I've already been given a few ideas from the reviews, but I'm always looking for more. In fact they're encouraged. It helps me to keep this thing going.

Let me know what you think :D
