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.

In this chapter we have some bonding between Shelby and Harmony.

CHAPTER 9

Rachel looked around at her guests and smiled. When she saw Harmony and Sugar in the corner curled up she pursed her lips. They made a cute couple. She saw Rory and Sam talking on the couch and Quinn was with Shelby and Mrs. Puckerman and Puck's sister Sarah cooing over Beth. Santana and Brittany were playing soda pong with Puck and Mike. It was funny and somewhat stupid in Rachel's opinion. They wouldn't get drunk but their stomachs would hurt and they were finding humor in their friends' pain.

Tina was with Kurt, Blaine and Mercedes talking about one thing or another and her fathers…Where did her father's get to?

Rachel looked around once more only to smile wider as her fathers walked in carrying a cake with lit candles.

The music shut off and everyone gathered round and started singing.

Rachel wiped a tear from her eye as they finished and smiled. She began commenting on their pitch when Sugar cut in.

"Just blow out the candles already. We don't need a stupid ramble!" She giggled nervously as all eyes were on her. "Sorry, Asperger's."

Shelby and Puck rolled their eyes.

Rachel just giggled and blew out the candles. The cake was cut and passed around.

"Presents!" Kurt exclaimed as they began pulling out presents and crowding Rachel with them.

When the presents were all opened and pictures were taken everyone pitched in on cleaning and Quinn was running on autopilot. She was so in her head she wasn't watching where she was going and the tug on the back of her dress brought her out of her head.

Quinn snapped out of her daze and looked over her shoulder to see Harmony holding her back. She looked forward again and saw that she was about to walk into the banister on the stairs. She had been thinking of what Puck and Santana had said. She was going through past scenarios in her head. Did Rachel really feel the same?

That thought alone put her mind in overdrive trying to figure it out.

She turned back to Harmony who released the back of her dress. "Thanks."

"You are welcome." Harmony said walking back over to help Sugar clean up the living room.

Quinn couldn't help but feel some sort of déjà vu feeling when she looked at Harmony. Her eyes held a softness and caring towards her that she had only seen in the brown swirls of the eyes of Rachel Berry. She watched Harmony interact with Sugar who reminded Quinn of Santana and Brittany. Quinn shook her head but before turning she saw something interesting.

Harmony blushed at something Sugar whispered and the brunette turned to face Sugar only for Sugar to steal a kiss and put space between her and the somewhat peeved brunette. But Quinn saw the love in those blue eyes. It was weird. The eyes were different colors but the looks she sees in the young brunette match those of Rachel Berry's. Quinn shakes her head. She thinks she's going crazy.

'Since when do I pay that much attention to Rachel?' Quinn thinks to herself as she heads to the kitchen with the full garbage bag that she hands off to Rachel's dad.

"You ok Quinn?" Leroy asks as he takes the bag.

"Yeah." Quinn smiles politely at the man. "Just thinking."

"Well don't think too hard, you might get wrinkles." He teases but gets the desired effect from Quinn when he sees the girl smile.

After showing everyone out Shelby puts Beth in her carrier and looks up to see Harmony saying goodbye to Sugar and Al. Shelby waves to Al and he gives her a smile.

"You ready grandma?" Harmony asks but goes wide eyed when she realizes what she said.

Shelby sees this and covers. "I am not old, nor am I being slow." Shelby says giving Harmony a stern look.

Rachel giggles. "Who knows Shelby? How old are you?"

"Watch it." Shelby warned playfully as she lifted the carrier and hugged Rachel. "I'll see you when school starts back up."

"I'll see you then. Unless I could stop by sometime during the break?"

Shelby smiled. "I'd like that."

Shelby and Harmony waved goodbye to the others and left.

"I talked to Al and he said it was ok for me to come stay with you to keep up appearances, but he "demands" that we all get together for dinner at least once if not twice for dinner. He got attached." Harmony sighs as they get into the car.

"I can do that." Shelby smiles as she straps Beth in. She gets in the driver's seat. "So what was that grandma stuff back there?" She asks as she starts the car.

"I was really just trying it out. It felt like it was ok. I don't really know you in the future. I only know what mom and mama tell me." Harmony said.

"Well, we'll just have to fix that." Shelby smiles.

"Any clue as to who wants to kill Santana?" Shelby asked as Harmony shook her head and Shelby pulled out of the driveway heading to the Motta residence.

"No, but I was staking out her house and I saw this guy. But I couldn't tell if he was a threat. We usually just go with the days Sugar started flashing again. There was the day Finn outed Santana and sectionals are the big dates. We learned that I was the one anchoring Sugar here so her existence relies on me I guess." Harmony shrugs.

"You and Sugar. How long has that been going on?" Shelby asks.

"Well I guess since I turned sixteen. But it wasn't till the day Finn outed Santana and she flashed through the bar stool that I realized I could lose her without really having her you know?" Harmony asked and Shelby nodded. "So I took a chance and kissed her. Told her how I feel and I felt like crying when she told me she felt the same. But I was just so happy and scared."

"Scared?"

"If we don't save Santana Sugar ceases to exist." Harmony said and Shelby nodded.

"I would be scared too. So tell me about the future. Before it was changed. How was life for you?" Shelby asked.

"It was hectic. Sugar, Rory and I got picked on because our parents were famous. We stood together though and well our home lives sucked really. Mom and mama divorced after Finn managed to slip in and break them apart. When Brittany and Santana aren't fighting they're not home. Rory's parents. Well, Blaine was having an affair because Kurt spent more time in the studio designing clothes than at home. Then you know what happened when someone messed up the past." Harmony shrugged.

"That's not what I meant really." Shelby said. "Before things went bad. Was there any good things?"

Harmony smiled as she tapped the star necklace. "Yeah. When I was growing up mom made sure I knew my classics. Mama evened it out by making sure I knew other artists and read as much as I practiced music. We have a library in our house. It doubles as Mama's study and mom made sure that our basement was turned into an Oscar room like what she has here. What I love about them is that Mom would practice with me and we'd do these little concerts for our family and friends and the library was my favorite quiet place to be. I would read books and do my homework while mama is either writing a book or reading the new script for the new movie she is in."

"They sound like fun times."

"They were. Even if we never really talked much while in the study we didn't have to. Once we left the study we would be loud and eccentric. We would go out and do something fun. It started getting bad when Finn came back into the picture a year or two ago." Harmony sighed at the end.

"I never liked him." Shelby said. "He is a nice boy but not very bright."

Harmony giggled. "You're taking this a lot calmer than I expected you to." Harmony muses and Shelby scoffs.

"Ha! I'm just that good of an actress." Shelby beamed. Then she got serious. "You told me you're from the future and that you are the daughter of Rachel Berry and Quinn Fabray and your sperm donor is Jesse St. James. Don't get me wrong. I am ok with it and there is nothing wrong with your parents. But the more time I spend with you I can see it. Your eyes may be blue like Jesse's, but they are as expressional as Rachel's." Shelby said and Harmony smiled. Then something clicked for Shelby. "I am a horrible mother."

Harmony frowned and furrowed her brow. "What makes you think that?"

"Rachel's eyes. I felt as if I wasn't needed and so I walked away from her. But her eyes. She was smiling and her whole face told me that she was ok with it all. But her eyes…damn it!" Shelby hits the steering wheel with her palm. "I should have seen it. Her eyes were begging me to stay."

Harmony reached out and touched her shoulder. "Hey, just because you couldn't tell them doesn't mean anything. You know now and you are trying. I've seen the face you are talking about. They first time mama threatened mom that she was leaving she had the exact same face. She wasn't smiling. But she was telling mama to go if she wanted. The only reason she stayed was because they saw that I was in the hall." Harmony looked down. "We're changing so much." Harmony sighed. "Who knows what will be different or the same when we get back?" She shook her head.

It was Shelby's turn to place a comforting hand on the girl's shoulder. "We'll fix it. When you go back you'll have happy memories and a happy family. I promise. Even if I have to lock the two in a room for hours." Shelby chuckles making the younger girl smile.

"Thanks, I needed that." Harmony says as they pull up to the Motta house.

"Do you need help packing?" Shelby asked.

"I'd appreciate it." Harmony says as they get out and head inside.

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. :)
