2 weeks later:
"Quinn wake up" Rachel yelled shaking the blonde. Quinn groaned." Go away" she said pushing her hand against Rachel's face. The diva stuck out her tongue and licked Quinn's hand, causing the blonde's eyes to shoot open." ew" she said wiping her hand on the bed covers. Rachel smiled," that's what you get" she replied. Quinn sighed and closed her eyes again, getting ready to sleep. "oh no you don't" Rachel yelled holding Quinn's eyes open with her index fingers and thumbs.
Quinn frowned." why are you torturing me?" she whined.
"You re the one who suggested we go see my dads today, so you re taking me out to buy a new dress" Rachel told her pouting.
Quinn put a pillow against her face. "It's Wednesday already?" she asked. Rachel nodded. "Rach, why can't you just wear one of my dresses?" Quinn asked, lifting an eyebrow.
Rachel's mouth formed a straight line. "Because it's not the same, I need a new one to impress them especially since I m going to be telling them the biggest secret of my life" Rachel announced.
Quinn's mouth dropped open, and she grabbed Rachel's wrist. "You're telling them?" she asked horrified.
Rachel nodded." besides Santana and Brittany, already know for sure" she replied looking at the stool which was pushed up under the doorknob as a lock.
1week ago:
Quinn pulled the diva onto the bed kissing her fiercely. A moan escaped her lips as she pulled her sweater over her head. Rachel pushed her body up against Quinn's breathing heavily. Quinn quickly undid Rachel's blouse and threw it across the room. Rachel gasped and arched her back, as Quinn's nails scraped up and down her torso. The diva quickly but roughly pulled off Quinn's long sleeve, and kissed her flat abs.
"You're so sexy" Quinn breathed in her ear. A snarl ripped through Rachel's throat and she pulled off Quinn's jeans. Rachel threw her head back, as Quinn kissed a trail down her neck sucking softly on her pulse point.
Quinn climbed off the bed and slowly pulled off Rachel's shorts. Rachel moaned and grasped Quinn's waist, pulling her back on top of her. She kissed Quinn passionately, her tongue brushing Quinn's bottom lip for entrance.
Quinn accepted and melted at the touch of their tongues. Rachel pulled away and looked deep into Quinn's eyes." are you sure?" she asked. Quinn nodded and pulled Rachel into a breath taking kiss.
Just then the door flew open and Rachel screamed, jumping away from Quinn. Quinn froze in shock as Santana and Brittany stood in the doorway, mouths handing wide open." I KNEW IT" Santana screamed.
Quinn quickly jumped up and pulled both girls into the room, shutting the door behind them. "I knew it, I knew it, Quinn I knew you were screwing Berry" she yelled again. "Well you kind of ruined that" Quinn announced glaring.
"Well sorry, we wanted to come say goodnight" Santana snorted.
Rachel looked at Quinn who nodded." Were not screwing Santana, were, Quinn and I are together""she whispered. Brittany dropped the pillow she was holding and Santana's eyes grew wider.
"Wait you two are like dating?" she asked, unconvinced. Quinn nodded." It's been close to 2 weeks now" she said linking her fingers under the covers with Rachel's.
"Oh man, wait until the others find out" Santana said jumping off the bed. Quinn dove for Santana knocking her onto the floor. "What the hell?" Santana screamed.
"San, you have to promise you won't tell them" Quinn begged. The Latina rolled her eyes." fine".
Quinn pinned her down. "Promise" she demanded.
"I promise" Santana said groaning.
"Ok, ok I m up" Quinn growled climbing out of bed. Rachel stood up after her. " good" she whispered sweetly and kissed the blond on the cheek." now go shower, you smell" she added.
Quinn's face fell." you re a wonderful girlfriend, but you'd be an even better one if you came and showered with me" Quinn suggested. Rachel shook her head.
"Nope I'm going to eat breakfast, besides you were a bad girl this morning" Rachel told her. Quinn sighed in defeat." fine, but you owe me a shower tomorrow" she demanded.
Rachel smiled "deal" she announced and skipped towards the door. Quinn caught her by the arm and spun her around catching her in a passionate kiss. Rachel pulled away flushed. "well that never gets old" she replied and stepped into the hallway.
Rachel happily glided down the stairs. The diva found Tina sitting at the table. She sat beside the Asian and sighed. Tina kinked her eyebrow and looked at Rachel. "what are you all ready for?" she asked looking Rachel up and down. "Quinn and I are going to the mall so I can get a new dress for tonight" she announced.
Tina smiled "Do your dads know you're stopping by?" she asked
"yeah they know, and there not too happy about it" she said frowning.
Tina looked at her confused. "Why?" she asked.
"Because I told them I've been down here for two weeks" she replied.
"Wait, they didn't know you were down here?" Tina asked in disbelief.
"No I was too scared to tell them Tina, I have barely talked to them in 5 years" The diva explained shamefully.
Tina shrugged. "you should have just told them, I know your dads they would have understood" Tina told her touching her hand. Rachel smiled, and stood up. " Quinn better have some good cereal in here"
When Quinn got out of the shower she quickly changed into a white summer dress that had light pink flowers on it. She ran to the mirror and threw her hair in a side braid hoping Rachel wouldn't be mad at her for taking so long. She skidded out of the room and down the stairs. When she reached the Kitchen she noticed Rachel standing at the front door glaring at her.
Quinn bit her lip and walked over to the Diva, leaning in for a kiss. Rachel's palm met directly with Quinn's face." ow what the hell was that for?" Quinn asked annoyed. Rachel held in a smile and pointed to the living room, Quinn peeked in and saw Kurt, Mercedes and Tina. "oh hey Quinn what's up?" Kurt asked.
Quinn flashed her best smile."oh hey guys, me and Rachel are leaving now" she told them. They nodded, so she grabbed Rachel's hand pulling her out the door.
The blond pushed Rachel up against the side of the house. Rachel pushed her mouth to Quinn's." I had to wait way to long without that" She announced. Quinn giggled and linked her fingers with the Diva's.
When they arrived at the mall, they walked close to each other but not to close. "Quinn this is killing me" Rachel whined as they walked into a store.
"I know me to" Quinn replied as she lightly brushed her hand against Rachel's seeking the warmth of their skin meeting.
Quinn lifted a knee high navy dress that was cut off at the shoulder. "What about this one?" Quinn asked. Rachel shrugged." it's cute, I'll try it on"
Quinn was pushed up against the change room door. Rachel had tried on five dresses already. "Rach, come out please?" Quinn begged. "No I don t like it" Rachel responded.
That was it. Quinn got on her belly and slid under the change room door. Rachel shot up as something touched her leg. "Holy hell" she screamed and hit the change room wall with a thud. Quinn stood up smiling." you wouldn't come out, so I came in" she announced.
Rachel lifted an eyebrow "I can see that" she replied.
Quinn seductively walked towards her. "Mm, your right I don't like that dress, maybe we should take it off you?" Quinn suggested grasping the ends of the dress. Rachel leaned forward and whispered in Quinn's ear." I think you right".
With that, Quinn ripped the dress over her head, revealing a black bra and black panties. "Shit" Quinn whispered and kissed Rachel softly on the lips.
The diva put one hand on the back of Quinn's neck and the other in her blond hair, pulling her closer. Quinn grinded her hips into Rachel's and let out a moan.
There was a loud knock at the door. "You okay in there sweetie? I don't know where your friend went though" the voice announced. Quinn put her hand over her mouth to hold in her laugh while Rachel began putting back on her clothes.
"Uh ya, I'm fine, and she probably just went to look around some more" Rachel yelled. When they heard the click of her heels grow quieter, Quinn slipped out of the change room, followed by Rachel.
"I like this one" Rachel said holding up a white dress. "good now we can go" Quinn began walking but Rachel grabbed her arm." not so fast, there are still plenty of other stores" she announced smiling widely.
2 hours and 36 dresses later, Quinn and Rachel stood at the cash register. In Rachel's tiny hands, was a black dress that Quinn was over excited about seeing Rachel in later. "Ill pay" Quinn told her handing the cashier her credit card.
"Quinn it's too much" Rachel shot back.
Quinn knew this would go on for a long time so she leaned over." I'll pay, seeing as I might rip it off you later" she whispered in the Diva's ear.
Rachel's eyes went wide and faint smile appeared on her lips." She's paying" she told the cashier.
Quinn sat on the sofa in the living room next to Mercedes and Kurt, wearing a yellow dress that flowed down past her knees. "Holy shit, how long does it take to put on a dress?" Brittany asked from across the room.
Just as she finished the last word Rachel stepped into the living room. Quinn sucked in a deep breath. The black dress clung tightly to Rachel's petit body and hung off one of her shoulders. The dress made Rachel's skin look more tanned then it really was, and the intense black colour made Rachel's eyes stand out like stars.
"Holy mother of god Rachel, how come you never wore anything like that in high school? We could have been best friends" Santana announced winking.
Quinn fought the need to hit Santana. She stood up and walked towards to door. "Have a good time you guys" Mercedes told them waving.
"Come visit me and Brittany when you get home Rach" Santana told her. Quinn closed her eyes and clenched her fists. She was pretty sure she would have run at Santana but Rachel's arm against hers was enough contact to keep her in place.
They walked outside and the cool air blew Rachel's hair. She breathed in heavily and looked at Quinn. Her blond hair was pulled back into a half pony, while her yellow dress made her skin look pale but glowing.
Once they climbed inside the car, Rachel reached over and put her hand on Quinn's face. "What?" Quinn asked blushing as Rachel stared at her.
"You're beautiful" Rachel told her honestly.
Quinn felt something jump inside of her stomach. She didn't know how fast it was possible to fall for Rachel Berry. She leaned forward and placed her lips to Rachel s cheek. "You look amazing yourself" she said against Rachel's cheek. Shivers shot through the diva's body. She didn't think she could fall in love with Quinn all over again.
As they approached the Berry household, Rachel gripped Quinn's hand tightly. "I'm scared" she admitted. Quinn smiled down at the shorter girl."don't be, I'm going to be with you the whole time" She told her, which made Rachel feel a whole lot better.
They stood on the porch in silence. "Are you going to ring the doorbell?" Quinn asked. Rachel shook her head." no" she whispered. Quinn rolled her eyes and pressed her finger to the doorbell. As the ding went off Quinn felt Rachel's hand stiffen in hers.
Right as the door opened Quinn dropped Rachel's hand. A tall black man and a shorter white man stood in the doorway smiling slightly.
Rachel felt her heart jump as the door opened revealing her fathers. She hadn't seen them in so long. Leroy looked the exact same, tall dark and handsome. While Elijah's beard had grown and his hair fell in front of his eyes. Rachel hesitated as she stepped forward."hi" she whispered. Leroy looked at her with tears in his eyes." hi baby" he whispered back smiling. The diva jumped into his arms, feeling tears fall down her cheeks.
Rachel pulled away from Leroy and turned to Elijah who stood emotionless at the door. "you look beautiful" he commented on her dress. "oh daddy" she whispered and pulled him into a tight hug.
Quinn watched as Elijah and Rachel hugged, clinging to each other as if the world were coming to an end. Quinn then knew how much Rachel's fathers meant to her.
When Rachel pulled away she wiped the tear off her face and turned to Quinn who stood at the door beaming. "Dad, Daddy this is Quinn" She told them as Quinn stepped inside shutting the door behind her.
Quinn put her hand out to Leroy first."pleasure to meet you" she told him smiling. He brushed away her hand and pulled her into a hug, catching her off guard. "You look wonderful Quinn" he told her. She smiled and turned to Elijah."Hello, it's nice to meet you" She told him putting out her hand. Elijah didn't smile, he just stared at her, finally putting his hand out to shake hers." hello Quinn, how's doing?" he asked.
Quinn shifted slightly feeling nervous, around Elijah. "Oh uhm he's fine, he's away with my mother right now" she told him.
Elijah nodded."good to hear, why don't you two go get seated at the table, we will serve dinner" He told them. Rachel nodded, and led Quinn to the dining room table.
Rachel took a seat next to Quinn as they waited. The diva turned to Quinn. "Sorry about Dad" she whispered putting her hand on the small of Quinn's back. "It's fine, he's just a little, intimidating" Quinn told her smiling.
The diva nodded."I know, but I promise he'll grow on you" she told her. Quinn smiled and brushed a strand of hair behind Rachel's ear.
Leroy and Elijah walked into the room and Leroy placed lasagna on the table. "Are you okay with vegan lasagna?"He asked Quinn. Quinn looked up at him. "Yes that's fine, thanks" she told him smiling.
They ate in silence for about 10 minutes before Elijah spoke. "So Rachel, how's school?" he asked her. "Wonderful, I'm above 90's in all of my classes" she told him proudly.
He nodded."and what about plays? Have you gotten any good roles lately?" he asked her. Rachel slumped in her chair slightly. "I got one 4 months ago but it didn't really work out, it interacted with my school hours" she told him.
"Well you just need to try harder" he told her. Rachel winced and Quinn placed her hand on Rachel's leg, trying to make her feel better.
Leroy turned to his husband. "Elijah, I'm sure she's trying her best" he told him. The shorter man's face softened."sorry honey, I just want to see you become a star" he told her frowning.
Rachel nodded." I know daddy me too"
Leroy turned to Quinn. "so Quinn, tell us about you, what do you do?" he asked her smiling. Quinn smiled back. "I'm the guidance councillor over at McKinley, and I also co direct the glee club sometimes" she told him.
He smiled at her. "That's wonderful, it must be nice to see all the kids enjoying what you two loved in high school" he told her.
Quinn nodded." it is"
Leroy turned to Rachel. "So honey, how are the boys treating you? Got your mind set on anyone? He asked.
There was the question she was waiting for. Rachel held her breath, and closed her eyes. "Uhm Dad, daddy, that's what I wanted to talk to you about" she whispered.
Elijah's eyebrows scrunched together and Leroy smiled. "Oh god don't tell me your back with that dumb Finn boy" he asked. Quinn held in the need to burst out laughing.
Rachel smiled. "No I'm not with Finn" she told them
Elijah let out a breath."thank god" he whispered.
Rachel put her hand over Quinn's on top of the table. Both men looked back and forth from Rachel to their hands, Elijah's eyes widened and Leroy's mouth fell open slightly. "oh, OH" Leroy whispered.
Elijah's body tensed once he realized what was going on. "Wait so, you two?" he asked pointing.
Rachel smiled."yes, Quinn and I are together" she told them, smiling up at Quinn.
Quinn felt butterflies in her stomach as Elijah's eyes pierced into their hands. She hoped that they would be okay with this.
Leroy smiled brightly. "Congratulations" he told them. Rachel smiled."thanks dad". She turned her attention to Elijah. "Daddy?" she whispered.
He snapped out of his stare and turned to his daughter. "how, and when did this happen?" he asked.
Rachel let out a sharp breath but was surprised when Quinn was the one to answer. "When Rachel arrived at my house, I started to notice things, that I was developing feelings for her, not just as a friend but romantic feelings" she told them. Rachel smiled at her answer.
Leroy turned to Rachel. "Rach, when did you realize you had feelings for Quinn?" he asked. Rachel smiled faintly. "Soft more year" she told them.
Both men stopped and stared at her. "Wait, you liked Quinn in high school?" Elijah asked. Rachel smiled and nodded. "I knew that I liked Quinn, but I never told her, and I still had really heavy feelings for her when I came down here, so I was more than pleased at how things turned out" She told them, and squeezed Quinn's hand.
Elijah nodded his head slowly. "And you're sure about this Rachel? You're sure you can be with a women?" he asked with pain in his voice. Rachel lifted her eyebrows. "yes I'm sure daddy, I'm more then sure actually" she told him.
He shook his head."This just isn't like you Rachel, maybe you should take more time to think about this" he told her sternly. Rachel felt like she had just been slapped. "Out of anyone I thought you would understand" She spat before running off upstairs.
Leroy turned to Elijah "shes your daughter for god sakes" he yelled standing up. Quinn stood up, and touched his shoulder. "Let me?" she whispered.
Leroy nodded. "Thank you Quinn" he told her. She nodded and ran towards the stairs.
Quinn slowly walked down the hallway, trying to figure out which bedroom was Rachel's, and of course it was the one with the giant gold store on the door. She smiled and wiggled the door handle. Leave it to Rachel to lock the door.
She knocked twice. "Go away" Rachel yelled. Quinn flinched, she could tell Rachel was crying. She knocked lighter this time. "Rach, it's me" she whispered. There was silence but then Quinn heard the click of the lock. She smiled and walked into the room.
Quinn saw Rachel sitting on the bed with her knees to her chin. She frowned and walked over to the Diva." Rachel?" Quinn asked. She sat next to the brunette and stroked her hair with her hand. "Don't cry" she cooed.
Rachel looked up at her. "I don't get it, you'd think out of anyone he'd understand, being gay and all" she sniffled. Quinn looked deep into her eyes. "He's just scared for you Rachel, he knows how hard it is to be gay, but he just wants you to be happy" Quinn told her.
Rachel arched an eyebrow. "How do you know?" she asked. "because that's exactly how I felt, I was so scared to admit to myself that I was gay, but you helped me Rachel, and I realized being happy was more important than being normal" she whispered smiling.
Rachel frowned and put her head onto her knee caps. Quinn pulled Rachel into a hug. "It's okay, baby" she whispered. Rachel smiled against Quinn's shoulder. "I like when you call me baby" she told her.
Quinn smiled brightly and kissed the tip of her nose. "Baby" she whispered. Rachel smiled. Quinn kissed Rachel's lips "baby" she mumbled against the brunette's mouth. "thank you for coming with me Quinn, I know it's hard to be with me" Rachel told her frowning.
Quinn put her hand on Rachel's chin and tilted her face towards hers. "It s not hard at all being with you, I wouldn't change it for the world" She whispered. Rachel smiled. "I'm going to treat you right Quinn Fabray, I promise" she told her kissing Quinn's chin.
Quinn giggled. "I know baby, and I'm always going to keep you safe" she told Rachel honestly.
The rest of the night went by very slow, and very awkward. The girls had gone back downstairs but there was barely any conversation at the table. They stayed and looked through old baby pictures of Rachel with Leroy but Elijah had turned in early and went to bed.
As they drove home Rachel turned to Quinn. "You did well tonight" she told her. Quinn smiled. "so did you" She replied.
They drove in silence. "Quinn?" Rachel asked.
Quinn turned and glanced at Rachel. "Yes Rach?" She replied.
"I love you" the diva whispered and looked down.
Quinn felt her heart flutter and her face heat up. She had never felt the feeling before.
She leaned forward and kissed Rachel on the lips.
"I love you too" she told her honestly.
