Chapter 6

A/N: The responses I'm getting for this story is overwhelming. I love you guys. Thank you for following this story. Just because I love you guys so much. I'm going to make an uploading schedule for this. I will be uploading every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and every other Sunday. I hope you guys are ok with that. I don't know how long this will be but I have a lot to tell so who knows. This Chapter is pure Faberry fluff just because of the angst in the previous chapters. Also, I'm very sorry for this taking so long to upload. I was extremely busy and I got stuck with this chapter quite a few times. Happy reading. Chris Cruz.

Rachel

Rachel awoke with Quinn's arms wrapped around her. It was a nice feeling, a safe feeling. She could hear Quinn's soft breaths, indicating that she was still asleep. So Rachel didn't move. She tried her best to lie still in Quinn's arms, and that was surprisingly easy for Rachel. The brunette lay there for nearly an hour. The sun started coming up and it crept in through the curtain less window. It hit Rachel's face and she moved her arm up to cover her eyes. She immediately regretted it, for Quinn stirred a little and removed her arm from around Rachel. The brunette suddenly felt naked and vulnerable.

She turned to face Quinn. She stared at her face and took in all of the blonde's beauty. The tiny diva pulled n inch of hair out of Quinn's face, causing Rachel to be greeted by beautiful hazel eyes.

"Good morning" Rachel whispered with a smile. The brunette was soon wrapped into the blonde's arms and pulled into a tight hug.

"You stayed with me all night?" Quinn asked her. Rachel giggled a little before she replied.

"Of course I did. You were holding on to me. I wouldn't have left you. It felt nice to be held in your arms and then wake up next to you." She said. Rachel placed a kiss on Quinn's nose and giggled.

Rachel was finally let go of. She soon felt a sad feeling, the feeling of missing something, of missing Quinn and her arms around her. The tiny diva scooted close up to Quinn and placed her hand on her chest. She could feel the blonde's heart beating strongly. "Your heart plays my favorite song" Rachel whispered. It was a thought that wasn't meant to be said out loud, but Rachel's mouths formed the words just as she thought them. She blushed slightly when she realized she had said that out loud.

"I know my favorite song is 'Don't Rain on My Parade', but your heart plays it better. Your 'Heart's a drummer'". Rachel smiled as she recited some of the lyrics to her favorite song. She sounded so cheesy and she felt a bit embarrassed. She looked at the blonde and could only see a smile on her face, which only made the tiny diva feel better about herself. Rachel placed a small kiss on Quinn's nose and giggled.

The brunette rolled away and got out of bed. She stretched and yawned. "I'm going to go shower. You can shower in the main bathroom down the hall. There are towels in the closet and your clothes are in the drawer and closet. I'll see you in a bit." Rachel leaned over and placed another kiss on Quinn's nose and smiled. She walked out of the room and headed towards her own. Once there, she picked out some clothes for the day. It being a beautiful sunny day in October, Rachel picked out a short black flowing skirt and a tight fitting white v-neck t-shirt. She reached under her bed and pulled out her favorite black flats.

After she was showered and dressed, she walked downstairs and waited in the kitchen for Quinn. Her father's joined after a few minutes.

"Good morning honey, you slept in" Hiram said as he leaned down and placed a kiss on Rachel's cheek.

"Yeah we were both pretty tired." Rachel said hugging her fathers. "I was thinking of going out and spending the day outside. What do you guys think?" The brunette asked.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea sweetie. It will be good to give Quinn some space from around here. Why don't you take her up to Cleveland or over to Columbus, we'll give you the car and some money and you could even stay the night at a hotel." Leroy said smiling and turning on the coffee pot.

"Really? You think that would be a good idea?" Rachel said, surprised by the idea that her father had given her. She was just thinking of taking Quinn out to her park and spending the day there, maybe having a picnic.

"Of course. Where o you want to go, we'll call the hotel and make the reservations." Hiram said as he reached for Rachel's hand. "Honey, she needs a break from Lima right now. And if you give that to her, it will be the greatest gift you could give her." He told her.

Rachel smiled and agreed with her father. "How about Cleveland?" Rachel said smiling. Her father's nodded in unison and ran off upstairs. Rachel then got up and walked to the fridge. She grabbed two apples and two small juice boxes. The brunette ran through a mental list of things she would have to bring on their trip. Rachel walked up the stairs slowly and walked into her room and placed the food on her desk. She then walked to her closet and pulled out a small suitcase and started putting some clothes in it for herself. A pair of jeans, two t-shirts, a dress and a sweater, she then placed her toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush, and shampoo and conditioner. She ran over to her dresser and took out some pajamas that she nearly forgot.

Now that the suitcase was half full she closed it and walked over to her desk, and started scribbling a note. She took the note and the suitcase and took it into Quinn's room. She still hadn't gotten out of the shower so Rachel placed the suitcase open on the bed and placed the noted in it. She also placed one apple and one juice box next to it. The brunette walked out of the room and downstairs to continue discussing their trip with her father's.

Quinn

Quinn eventually got out of bed after Rachel had left. She wanted nothing more than to spend the day in bed with Rachel. That sounded like the greatest idea. The blonde walked over to the closet and picked out a towel. She walked out of the room and into the bathroom. Quinn spent a while in the shower, letting the hot water wash away the past day. She didn't want to think about her mother, but it was the only thing on her mind at the moment. She finished showering and washing her hair, she wrapped the towel around her and walked back out into her new room in the Berry household.

There was a suitcase on the bed and Quinn immediately panicked. The Berry's wanted her to leave. She walked over to the suitcase and was surprised to find clothes and things that were not her own. There was also a piece of paper with her name on it, she picked it up and unfolded it.

My lovely Quinn,

We are going to Cleveland for the weekend. We are staying in a hotel, so pack accordingly, Daddy says there weather will be nice but bring a sweater anyway. I'll be waiting for you downstairs in the living room.

Love,

Rachel Berry

Quinn let go of the breath she was holding. She was relieved beyond a doubt, and she would be spending the weekend away from Lima. The blonde hurried and got dressed, putting on a short blue dress that flowed around her and a white cardigan over it. She looked around for her shoes and realized that her mother didn't pack any for her. So she put on the white converse that she had on the previous day. Quinn started filling the rest of the suitcase with clothes. Two dresses, a pair of jeans, her pajamas and a black t-shirt. She remembered the sweater and added that to the suitcase as well. The blonde finally noticed the food that Rachel had left for her. Quinn's heart warmed at the thought of Rachel bringing her breakfast.

She began munching on the apple and closed the suitcase. Quinn grabbed the small juice box and put it in the pocket of her cardigan. The former cheerleader picked up the suitcase and headed for the stairs. She was quite excited to be going out of town. She was even more excited to be going out of town with Rachel. Quinn reached the living room and set the suitcase down on the ground. Rachel wasn't in the living room, but she heard shuffling in the kitchen and Quinn decided to go and find out who it was.

The blonde stepped into the kitchen, still munching on her apple. She saw a small brunette running around the kitchen grabbing things in pairs; two cups, two plates, two forks, spoons, and knives. There was a big picnic basket on the counter and Quinn realized what was going on. She leaned against the kitchen archway and watched Rachel run frantically around the kitchen. Quinn thought it was absolutely adorable.

Quinn drank her juice box while Rachel filled the picnic basket. The blonde was surprised by the fact that the tiny diva still hadn't notice that Quinn was there. Once Quinn finished her breakfast, she walked over to the trashcan and threw it away. The noise finally got Rachel's attention.

"Finally notice I'm here?" Quinn asked with a smirk. She walked over to the smaller girl and pulled her into a hug. "Cleveland sounds wonderful" Quinn said into Rachel's hair. The brunette hugged her back tighter and squealed. Quinn giggled at the girl's excitement.

"Oh Quinn, I'm so glad you liked the idea. Daddy came up with t, he thought you would enjoy it. Did you pack?" Rachel rambled a little, but Quinn thought it was the cutest thing. She laughed a little before she answered the girl.

"Yes I packed. The suitcase is in the living room. Where are your dad's? I want to thank them." Quinn said. She had not had a chance to thank her father's for letting her stat with them. She was undeniably grateful for their generosity. She let go of the girl and stared into her deep brown eyes. Quinn was completely mesmerized by her. She was lost in her eyes and Quinn thought she would never find her way out. But that was strangely ok with the Blonde. If she could spend the rest of her life staring into Rachel's eyes, she would be happy.

"You're so beautiful" Quinn whispered. It was a thought that was not meant to be said out loud, but when it did, Quinn was ok with it being out in the open. She watched Rachel smile and then wrap her arms around Quinn again. The blonde pulled her off of her and planted a soft kiss on the tiny diva. There wasn't a moment in Quinn's life that made her happier than she was at that very moment. The former cheerleader finally let go of Rachel and smiled at the smaller girl, who had a dopey expression on her face.

"So, where are you dads?" Quinn asked as she placed her hands on Rachel's shoulder. Rachel finally snapped out of it, and gave Quinn the answer she was looking for.

"Daddy had a softball game with his friends today, and Dad went with him to show support." Quinn noticed that she spoke softly, as thought to not get her words tangled. "Now I need to finish this" Rachel said sliding over to the counter to finish filling the basket.

"We're having a picnic?" Quinn asked her as she took as seat on one of the stools.

"Yes we are Quinn. It is a three hour drive to Cleveland and if we leave in the next hour we can get there by five. So I was thinking that we could stop at a park along the way and have a picnic for lunch. I thought it would be romantic."

Quinn propped her elbows on the counter and rested her head on her hands. She loved listening to the diva ramble. Once Rachel was finished, Quinn got up from the stool and made her way around the counter. She grabbed on to Rachel's cardigan and pulled her flush against her body. She put her lips on Rachel's and kissed her. It was a short loving kiss. Rachel had been caught off guard, Quinn noticed that, so she kept the kiss short so as not to frighten the small girl.

Rachel smiled and went back to packing. Quinn saw her brown eyes dart up to her own and then back down to the basket. Quinn laughed and sat down again. "I just can't resist you." The blonde said, trying to justify her actions. She wasn't trying to apologize. She would never apologize for kissing Rachel.

"Go put the suitcase in the car" She heard the brunette say. Quinn smirked and stood up slowly from the stool. She walked purposefully slow to the living room, making a big show out of having to lift heavy object. "But Rachel, it's so heavy." Quinn whined playfully from the living room. The blonde lifted the suitcase with ease and walked into the kitchen once more. She immediately dropped the suitcase and began dragging it, making it seem like she was struggling with the rather light suitcase.

"Stop it" She heard Rachel squeal. She then heard a fit of giggles escape the tiny diva's lips. Quinn was then being pushed towards the front door. "Go!" Rachel laughed.

Quinn picked up the suitcase and walked outside. It was a beautiful day out; no clouds in the sky and there was a nice breeze. The sun was shining its full face on the world and that made Quinn happy. She was just about to put the suitcase in the trunk of her car when she heard Berry door close and Rachel yell, "Wait!"

Quinn watched Rachel scurry over and saw that the picnic basket was almost the same size as her.

"We're taking daddy's car. He also gave me one of his credit cards so that we can buy gas and anything else we might need." Rachel said to Quinn as she opened her father's red Toyota Prius and put the basket in the back seat. "Come on" She said as she slid into the driver's seat.

Quinn closed her trunk and walked over to the car and knocked gently on the trunk. She waited for the girl in the car to open the trunk and then put the suitcase inside of it. She hopped into the passenger seat and put her seatbelt on. "Alright ma'am, let's go" Quinn said.

The car was put in drive and they were off. "Turn the radio on for me" Quinn was asked. She leaned over and turned on the knobs until she reached her favorite station. 'Honey Bee' by Zee Avi began to play. The blonde did a surprising thing and started singing along. He loved this song, and didn't care that Rachel was there with her. In fact she quite liked having Rachel there listening to her.

I am a honey bee, shunned out from the colony

And they won't let me in.

So I left the hive, they took away all my stripes

And broke off both my wings

So I'll find another tree

And make the wind my friend

I'll just sit with the birds,

They'll tell me the secrets of the world.

But my darling honey bee,

Is stuck where he doesn't want to be

Oh my darling honey bee

I'll come save you even if it means

I'll have to face the queen.

So I'll come prepared

My new friends said they would help me

Get my loved one back

They sy it isn't right

Bees have control of your mind

But I choose not to believe them.

So we'll meet in the darkness of the night

And I promise I'll be there on time

Well be guided by my friends the butterflies

Bring us back to our own little hive

Oh my other honey bee,

No longer stuck where he doesn't want to be

Oh my darling honey bee

I have saved and now that you're with me

We can make our own honey.

Quinn sang the entire song with her eyes closed, completely lost in the song. She felt her hand held by small finger's and she entwined her finger's with Rachel. "Oh, I just love this song." Quinn said, giving Rachel's finger's a light squeeze. "Can we listen to your favorite song now?" Quinn asked, smiling at the brunette.

She watched Rachel point to the glove compartment. "It's the CD labeled 'Favorites' Rachel said. Quinn opened the Glove compartment and searched around for the CD. She finally found it, wiped it with the corner of her cardigan and popped it into the radio.

"Track number four" She heard Rachel say. Quinn messed around the knobs until the radio displayed a number 4 and the song began to play. The blonde grabbed onto Rachel's hand again and they both started singing along. Quinn stopped and allowed Rachel to take the lead. She listened to the girl belt out the lyrics. When Rachel was finished, Quinn was absolutely star struck.

"Wow" Quinn said in amazement.

"What?" Rachel said giggling.

"You were born to sing that song." Quinn said to her. "I'm so glad I'm able to hear you sing it." The blonde said, leaning over and kissing Rachel's cheek. She watched as the girl grew crimson. "You're the best thing that's happened to me" Quinn said in a love voice. She smiled at the girl. Quinn knew in that moment that she was truly in love with the small brunette.

A/N: Wow, this chapter took way too long to upload. Sorry about that. I'll try really hard to start uploading to the schedule. I've just been really busy. I hope you forgive me. Don't forget to let me know what you think.
