I thought I would try my hand at the Sugar is the Brittana baby, Harmony is the Fababy and Rory is the Klaine baby from the future.

I owe a great thanks to Kairos27 for thinking up the idea of Sugar being the love child of Brittana from the future which then led to Rory and Harmony coming from the future.

I know I have other stories and I shall get to them.

A/N: I own nothing. The characters, show or songs.

And a shout out and thank you to DAgron01 who allowed me to use her idea of a surprise party for Rachel. Go check out her stories. They are amazing.

CHAPTER 8

"We need more help." Sugar said the last day of school before winter break as she, Harmony and Rory walked into Shelby's classroom with Puck right behind.

"With what?" Puck asks having been kept in the dark long enough.

"Mom's birthday is in two days." Harmony said and both pale at the information.

"Crap!" Puck swears. "I need to get her a gift. No doubt no one cared enough to remember." He frowns and Shelby furrows her brow.

"What do you need help with?" Shelby asks.

It was all set up. Mrs. Puckerman had no problem letting Puck throw a birthday party for Rachel at their house. It was a usual party place and she knew she couldn't get him to stop having parties but he always cleaned up after it and had them when she and his sister were not home. The Berry men were happy to help in whatever way they could and Shelby assured them that she was not going to up and leave like before and that she was going to fix things with Rachel and after meeting her granddaughter she wanted to be able to be there to see Harmony grow up. Puck rallied Santana and Brittany to help out and be default Quinn had found out from Brittany. Finn tried to get in on it since Kurt had found out and so had Blaine. Sam was also in on it and when he and Puck found out Finn knew they dared Finn to try something that would hurt the girl and made him stay away. Mike and Tina agreed and so did Artie. Mercedes as well and now there was the only other problem.

How do they keep Rachel busy enough to not notice something was off?

Quinn couldn't believe this was happening. She pinched herself at least twice behind her back to make sure this was really happening.

"Let me get this straight…" Quinn looked between Shelby and Puck. Rachel had stopped her from telling on Shelby and after hearing what Shelby had to say in the choir room she really couldn't have brought herself to tell. "You want me to keep Rachel busy by babysitting Beth at your apartment to keep her from home while you set up a party?" Quinn asked and Shelby nodded. "What's your angle?" Quinn asked.

"Quinn!" Shelby held up a hand cutting Puck off.

"I get to apologize and get close to my daughter and get to know her and in return you get to spend time with Beth. I'm not doing this because you aren't telling Quinn. I'm doing this because I can see the questions in Rachel's eyes. I don't want Beth to grow up carrying those around with her." Shelby said and Quinn crossed her arms.

"Fine. But I'm doing this for them. Not you." Quinn said and before Puck could protest again Shelby smiles softly and nods.

"Thank you."

"When do I have to be there?" Quinn asked.

"Tomorrow around noon. We want to be set up by four." Shelby said and Quinn nodded showing them out.

Rachel was confused as to why Shelby needed two babysitters and on her birthday. She understood how the others wouldn't remember. But she was sure that even if she didn't raise her Shelby would remember the day she gave birth to her. She sighed and shook her head. She knocked on the door and was greeted by Quinn.

"Hey." She smiled feeling that fluttering wave in her stomach. She really hoped that wasn't gas. She looked at Beth who was in her arms and then Rachel. The fluttering continued. Nope, not gas.

"Hi."

"Happy birthday." Quinn said stepping aside to let Rachel in.

"Glad to know someone remembers." Rachel sighed walking in and shutting the door behind her.

"I got you something." Quinn said as she walked over to her bag. She really did get her something and she spent forever in the mall. After Shelby and Puck left she waited and then rushed to the mall.

"You didn't have to." Rachel says. Although she is really touched that Quinn had indeed gotten her a gift.

"I wanted to. We're friend right? That's what friends do." Quinn says handing the wrapped package to Rachel.

"What is it?" Rachel asked excitedly.

"Why don't you open it and find out?" Quinn giggled and Rachel blushed.

Rachel had already felt the butterflies from just being near Quinn. She always had. But now the two were alone and caring for a child. Was it weird that Rachel could see this in the future even though they were nothing more than kind of friends? Rachel shook her head. Of course it was. Rachel tore the wrapping from the gift and smiled.

"This is so me." Rachel beams lifting the shirt. It was a pajama set. The top had a patch over the breast pocket saying 'I'm a star' and on the back was a big star. The pants had a star pattern.

"There is one more. I remembered seeing this while helping my mom clean out the attic." Quinn said handing Rachel a flat square gift.

Rachel studied it as Quinn bounced Beth on her hip. She tore the wrap off carefully and when it was off she frowned. "Not that I don't love it because I love everything Barbra, but I already have one of these Quinn." Rachel says looking down at the 'Funny Girl' vinyl in its sleeve.

Quinn chuckled. "Turn it over." Rachel had it so the front was facing down.

Rachel turned it over and before she could let out a blood curdling scream she bit her fist and let out a high pitched squeal that made Beth and Quinn flinch.

There on the cover was Barbra's signature.

Momentarily forgetting the child in Quinn's arms Rachel launched herself at the blonde holding back slightly as not to squish Beth and hugged her tight.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Rachel chanted and Quinn giggled.

"You're welcome."

As the rest of New Directions began setting up Shelby walked in with Harmony.

"What is she doing here?" Kurt asked pointing to Harmony.

"I invited her." Shelby said. She thought quick. "Her parents are friends of mine and they aren't home for the holidays and I offered to look after her." Not a complete lie.

"Oh." Kurt let it be and went back to hanging decorations with Blaine.

Harmony smiled. It was nice having a grandmother around. She had Judy, but it took her awhile to warm up to her. She handled Rachel and Quinn being together and that was when the two were in college.

"And since she is staying with me she is transferring schools since her parents leave is indefinite." Shelby said and that got everyone's attention.

"There go more solos." Mercedes muttered under her breath and Sugar glared.

"Welcome!" Sugar beamed bringing Harmony over to help blow up balloons.

Shelby smiled at the two. They were adorable.

Four came pretty fast and it shocked them all when they heard the doorbell. The party was alcohol free since parents were attending but they could live with that.

"Quinn, why are we at Noah's?" Rachel asked and Quinn smiled as she adjusted Beth on her hip.

"You'll see." Quinn said as Puck answered the door.

"Baby mama, Hot All American Jewish Princess." Puck greeted.

"What's going on?" Rachel asked as they walked in.

"SURPRISE!"

Rachel jumped in shock but when she spotted the smiling faces of her friends and family she was close to tears. The whole day as she watched Beth, well, it was more of her watching Quinn with Beth. They were amazing together though. They worked like a well-oiled machine. They were kind of friends now so Rachel thought of this as a positive. But the whole day she thought no one remembered her birthday and here they are.

"Oh, you're crying." Brittany ran up to her. "Don't cry!" She hugged her tight.

Rachel giggled wiping her eyes. "Happy tears Britt."

"Group hug!" Sugar shouted as everyone crowded around and hugged Rachel. Harmony stood off to the side feeling somewhat out of place. She may be her mom but here they weren't friends.

As the hug dispersed Kurt whispered in Rachel's ear.

"The Gerber Baby is here."

Rachel looked around and spotted Harmony to the side looking nervous. She walked up to her and extended her hand. "Hello, I want to say you were amazing at sectionals."

Harmony took the offered hand and smiled politely. "Thank you. I was hoping to perform against you but I will have to settle with performing with you." Harmony said.

Rachel was confused. "With me?"

Shelby walked up. "Harmony's parents are old friends of mine and they are away on a business trip indefinitely and asked that I look after her." Shelby explained before handing Rachel a small wrapped box. "Happy birthday Rachel."

"Thank you." She said smiling before addressing Harmony. "I look forward to collaborating with you and I am glad you made it."

"I wasn't sure if it was ok, Shelby said you wouldn't mind but she said I needed a break from all the moving." Harmony said and Shelby was impressed and proud that her granddaughter was as good as an actress as she was. If not better since they managed to keep the whole 'we're from the future' thing a secret. She still didn't believe it fully but seeing Sugar, Harmony and Rory made her believe and talking with Al helped.

"You are more than welcome. Please, make yourself comfortable." Rachel motioned with her hand then asked. "Are you Jewish?"

"Half, one parent is Jewish and the other is Christian. They raised me in both." Harmony said. Not a lie.

"Oh, my dad's did the same with me." Rachel smiled. "But don't tell Mrs. Puckerman. She might try to hook you up with Noah. She wants him to find a nice Jewish girl."

Harmony and Shelby cringed. They did not need the image or idea at all.

"Don't worry, he isn't my type." Harmony said casting a glance at Sugar smiling softly. Rachel saw this and smiled. She could see the love in the younger girl's eyes.

"I shall let you go have fun now." Rachel said and Harmony smiled shyly before walking away.

"Open it." Shelby said motioning to the key in Rachel's hand.

Rachel pulled the ribbon off and pulled the lid off. She raised an eyebrow in confusion as she looked at the key in the box. "What's this?"

"A key to my apartment. I want to be part of your life Rachel. I want to get to know you. I want you to know Beth, I want Quinn and Noah to know Beth. But I want to make sure we're ok. I made a mistake Rachel. I made a mistake by leaving and not trying hard enough but I want to make it right. I spoke to your dads and they are on board if you are." Shelby said as Rachel looked between Shelby and the key.

"Are you sure?" Rachel asked.

"I want to make it right." Shelby promised.

Rachel took the key out and placed it in her pocket. "I accept." Rachel said and Shelby smiled.

"Can I hug you?" Shelby asked hesitantly as Rachel nodded and they hugged.

"Hey! No hogging the birthday girl!" Hiram joked walking over and hugging Rachel.

"How was your day with Rachel?" Santana asked.

"Rachel, when do you call her by her first name?" Quinn asked.

"Since she offered to let me talk to her dads about coming out. They were really helpful." Santana says sipping her soda. "So how was your day?"

"It was fine. We took care of Beth, watched a few of the movies Shelby had and I gave her, her birthday present." Quinn shrugs.

"What did you get her?" Santana asks watching Brittany drag Harmony and Sugar over to dance with her and Mike. She smiles. Sugar grew on her. She didn't like the girl at first but she had this thing about her. A Brittany thing about her where you couldn't hate her or be mad at her for long or at all.

"Pajamas with stars on it and a Funny Girl Vinyl record." Quinn said.

"Doesn't she have everything Barbra?" Santana asked.

"I found it in the attic. It was my mom's and she said I could have it." Quinn cleared her throat as she realized she was rambling. "Anyway, it was my mom's and she had met Barbra Streisand and had it signed." Quinn said and Santana's eyes bugged.

"Damn it Q!" Santana scowled. "Now our gifts are gonna look pathetic."

"I'm sure she'll love them all the same." Quinn shrugged.

"You got her a signed Funny girl record. How can we compete with that?" Santana exclaimed.

"Who got who a signed Funny girl vinyl?" Kurt asked.

"Quinn here found her mother's signed by Barbra Streisand Funny girl vinyl and gave it to Rachel as a birthday present." Santana said quite loudly eliciting groans from those who heard and a chorus of…

"How can we compete with that?"

Rachel giggled. "I will love your presents all the same." She assured.

There was a scoff and Rachel glared at her daddy Hiram.

"I thought this was a party?" Hiram said nervously as everyone got back into the party mood.

"So what is going on with you and Berry?" Santana asked once the music was turned on.

"Nothing, we're kind of friends now." Quinn shrugs.

"I could think differently. You looked ready to murder Finn in his sleep when you learned her hurt her. And no one picks on someone as much as you do without harboring some other feelings than hate. It's classic playground ethics. The boy picks on the girl because he likes her. I'm willing to bet that's what is going on with you and Berry." Santana grinned as Quinn glared.

"That isn't it."

"Then what is it?" Santana asked.

"I don't know." Quinn muttered in defeat.

"If you like Berry I'm cool with it. I mean hello?" She motioned to herself. "And everyone deserves to find happiness Q. Rachel just may be yours." Santana said walking away.

Quinn frowned. "What is that supposed to mean?" Quinn asked but Santana waved her off and headed towards Brittany.

Puck walked up to her. "She has a point."

Quinn jumped in shocked. "Don't just sneak up on people like that!" She hissed, her hand over her heart.

"I'm sorry. But Santana is right."

"What are you talking about Puckerman?" Quinn asked.

"I pressured you, Finn pressured you but she was the only one who was patient with you. When you got pregnant she was there even after everything you had done to her. Junior year Finn pressured you to cheat on Sam and I heard from Finn in his whiny tone that when she came to visit him he asked for you before asking if he was ok." Quinn smiled slightly at that. "And what happened in the bathroom at Prom." Quinn gave him a shocked look. "Rachel told me." She nodded.

"So why don't you hate me?"

"Because no one took the time to help you. I was wrong when I said no one took ten seconds to help you. Rachel always took the time to help you. You know it was her who told Finn what to get for your corsage?" Quinn looked up at him shocked. "I may not be a genius when it comes to flowers but I did look up the meaning."

"What does it mean?" Quinn asked curious.

"Secret love." Puck grinned at the shocked look on her face.

"She couldn't possibly know. Finn said it matched my eyes."

"The ribbon matched your eyes." Puck corrected. "And you know Rachel, she has to know everything."

Quinn couldn't believe it. Could Rachel feel the same? She spent so much time trying to hurt the girl that she never thought about why she felt the way towards the diva. She didn't hate her. She hated herself because of how she was feeling for the girl. And no matter how much she hurt Rachel, Rachel was always there offering to help in some way.

Puck could see the gears turning. "I take it you're realizing everything. But she helped you a lot this year Quinn. She didn't have to. She cares about you. Take care of our girl Quinn. She deserves love and I don't know if you're the one who will give it to her but I have it on good authority that she feels the same way." Puck grinned before walking away.

Quinn gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "What is that supposed to mean?" She growled lowly so no one could hear her.

Quinn was getting sick of the cryptic shit. She looked over at Rachel who was dancing with Brittany and smiled. She felt that familiar feeling wash over her. The same feeling she got when she answered Shelby's door earlier today. Thinking about what Santana and Puck had said she realized that feeling was never hate. Watching the diva now that feeling was love and the feelings when she saw her with Finn weren't hate either. It was jealousy. Jealousy that Finn an oaf with no common sense got the girl.

Quinn swore to herself right then that she was going to woo Rachel Berry and give her everything she deserved and more.

I really do love hearing what you all think and I will try to incorporate your ideas the best I can so let me know. :)

Anything specific you would like to see?
