THANK YOU Anna Luna For being my beta!

"PASS! PASS!" Beth yelled. Aly, Beth and Noah were in the park playing their favorite sport, soccer, andAly and Beth were beating Noah seven to four. Aly kicked the ballrather hard towards Beth, andit flew past her foot, and Beth ran to get it. She ran over to thepair of feet at which the ball was lying and gently picked it up.

"Sorry," Beth said, smiling. When hazel eyes met hazeleyes, her smile faded. She stood and stared into the older blonde's eyes in disbelief. "You," Beth whispered. A smile graced Quinn's face, andshe nodded lightly.

"Beth," Quinn whispered. She looked at the young girl and noticed how much they looked alike. Quinn motioned to a picnic table and led Beth over. Once they were seated they engaged in a conversation.

Meanwhile, Aly and Noah stood side by side as Beth saw her mother for the first time in ten years. Aly looked over at Noah,whose fistswere clenched, eyes fixed on Quinn. Aly placed her hand on her cousin's shoulder and quickly felt how tense he was.

"Noah?" Aly asked. "Are you ok?"

"I'm going to kick her ass," Noah mumbled. Aly quickly ran in front of him and placed her hands on his shoulders.

"Noah stop!" Aly commanded, trying her best to hold him back. After a few moments he gave up and backed away from the young blonde, watching the two sit at the table. "What's your problem Noah?" she asked hoarsely.

"She hurt Beth! Not even physically Aly, she hurt her in the worst way possible," Noah shot back.

"What does that have to do with you?" Aly demanded.

"You guys are like my sisters!" Noah yelled. "Ever since I was adopted by my dads and met you two, I promised myself I would always protect you from harm, no matter what the cost! Blood or not, we're family and I don't want to—no actually I can't—I can't see my cousin get hurt again by that bitch!" Noah screamed, collapsing on the grass. Aly slowly sat next to him. A tear fell down his cheek but he quickly wiped it away. "I just can't," Noah whispered, wrapping his arms around his knees loosely.

Aly nodded, copying his position. "I can't either," she admitted.

"It's been awhile," Quinn stated, sitting down at the table. Beth followed suit.

"Ten years. I still haven't forgiven you, you know," Beth said flatly. Quinn breathed in deeply, her heart breaking apart inside. How could she hate me? Quinn thought. "I'm not telling you anything, if you wanna know anything about the day you abandoned me and Mom, go ask her!" Beth spit, her words laced with venom.

"Abandoned?" Quinn asked, her heart and soul tearing apart on the inside. Beth didn't answer. She just walked over to her cousins and demanded to leave at once. Quinn looked at her watch: it was time to meet Rachel. Maybe she could give some answers.

"What happened the day I left?" Quinn asked, in what may be the softest tone Rachel had ever heardher use. Rachel placed her decaf coffee on the table and took a deep breath before looking at Quinn.

"I read the note that you left, when I came home with Beth from camp. I started to cry, and after about ten minutes I put Beth in the car and drove to Santana's house. I don't really know why I choseher, I was just too concerned with getting you back to care. I knocked on the door and she started to curse at me. When she saw me, she knew whathad happened and got in the car without a word. I can't even remember the car ride there. I just remember running like a maniac into the airport, with Santana running behind me, carrying Beth. Lima's airport isn't that big so I ran to the only flight going to LA. I ran to the window and saw your flight take off. I swear I saw you looking at me through the window. When the plane disappeared,I felt Santana's hand on my shoulder and collapsed on the floor crying. Beth just stood watching me as Santana cradled me in her lap as I cried."

"I heard Beth ask 'Why is mommy crying?', andSantana just answered, 'Mama left and isn't coming back'. I couldn't see anything because I was crying into Santana's chest, but I felt a tear drop on my leg from Beth. I wanted to curse you out and shout out how much I loved you, but all I could say was 'She never even said goodbye'." Rachel finished, her eyes never leaving Quinn's.

"How did you end up with Santana?" Quinn asked, trying to get her mind off how badly she hurt Rachel and her own daughter.

"Santana stayed with us for a week to help us get back on our feet and we kinda fell in love. We soon found ourselves married and pregnant. We still live in the same house and now have three kids. Beth is now 12, our daughter Charlotte is turning eight in a week and our son Andrew is four. Puck is their dad, becausewe wanted the other kids to have some blood relation to Beth. Me and Santana are having a birthday party for Charlie tomorrow, would you like to come?" Rachel asked. Quinn looked around uncertainlyand then quickly nodded.

"What's your address?" Quinn asked, taking out a piece of paper and pen. Rachel smiled, grabbing her coffee as she stood up.

"My parents house. Dad and Daddy gave it to Santana and me when we got married. He even paid off the house and all the bills for us." Rachel replied, exiting the café and leaving Quinn to her thoughts. How will I ever face my ex-girlfriend's wife, who used to be my best friend? God this is confusing! Quinn thought, leaving for her hotel so she wouldn't be caught crying in public.
