The band wrapped up their song before the lead singer took the mic.
"Now ladies and gentlemen, if you would take your seats in welcoming the maids of honour" he announced.
"There's my que" Santana and Tina said in unison.
Tina blushed while Santana smirked. "Sorry Santana, you go first" the Asian told her.
Santana gave her a pat on the shoulder as she stood up." Thanks stutters".
The Latina walked up on stage and took the microphone.
She smiled awkwardly at the crowd and began.
"Well as you know, in high school I was best friends with Q, we had our differences a few times, and I'm sorry for that but we always stuck by each other and had each other's backs no matter what. Quinn you were there for me through a lot, my parents, cheerio's, stuff with Brittany, and I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me" She said, tears blurring her vision.
Quinn felt a hand take hers under the table.
She smiled lovingly at the couple before continuing.
"Also in high school I wasn't so nice to Rachel alongside Quinn, actually I was worse. It became a habit of mine to make Rachel's life a living hell, and I swear if I could take back every minute of anything I've ever done to you I would. I never really got a chance to know Rachel, and in this year I've gotten so much closer to her to realize just what she is. She can be annoying at times, but in a way that were all use to it, she rambles on a lot but honestly if she didn't all of our conversations would be less than 2 minutes long, and sometimes she has her little Berry storm outs but it's okay, because that is what makes her Rachel. As well as Quinn I'm going to spend my life making up for what I did to you Rachel, and I understand that you will probably never be able to forgive me but at least give me a chance to try and prove it to you. I'm so happy that Quinn found someone like you to help her become a better person and learn from life and I'm proud to say I have also gained a best friend from this marriage". The Latina confessed, tears falling freely from her eyes.
Rachel was shocked, her own tears were falling down her face. She did something no one expected, she stood up and walked onto the stage pulling the taller brunette into a bone crushing hug.
"I forgive you".
Santana's eyes went wide for a minute before she pulled away and smiled at Rachel. "Thank you".
They walked back to the table and Quinn stood up with Brittany, pulling their girl's into a big group hug.
Once they all sat down, Tina took the stage.
"Hello everyone, I would just like to say congratulations to the brides". She spoke, and everyone clapped.
"Rachel, you've been my best friend since the day I joined glee club. In high school you spent everyday living life to the fullest, you knew what you wanted and you knew exactly how to get it, no matter what anyone did to you held your head up high Rach, and that inspired me. Quinn I am so glad that Rachel could find someone like you, it seems like you're the only one who can control her when she has her little diva bursts. You have grown so much from the girl I knew in high school Quinn, and it makes me so proud that I can be a part of both of your lives" the Asian announced, looking at the ground.
Rachel felt tears fall heavily down her cheeks, she stood up when Tina reached her she pulled her best friend into a heart warming hug.
"Thank you T" she whispered.
Tina took her hound. "I'm so proud of you Rachel".
Quinn sighed and sat in an empty chair as everyone danced and had a good time.
She felt arms drape around her shoulders and she instantly smiled and felt fluttering in her stomach.
"Hey wifey" Rachel whispered in her ear, sending chills darting through every inch of her body.
Quinn turned her head to the side so she could see the brunette. The light was reflecting off Rachel's face, making her eyes look big and bright, while her hair was messy and she had the biggest smile on her face.
"Well hello to you too wife, having a good time?" she asked.
Rachel smiled and nodded. "Yes I am, although I would much rather be at home cuddling with you" she admitted.
Quinn kinked an eyebrow. "Oh really? Well in that case".
She leaned forward and pulled Rachel onto her lap, kissing her deeply.
Suddenly Rachel tensed and stood up, straightening out her clothes.
"Quinn, I'm going to go check on my dads, come find me in a little while" she said nervously and disappeared through the crowd.
Quinn, completely confused almost fell off out of her seat when she felt a hand tough her shoulder lightly, then retract.
She slowly turned and her heart fell into her gut, she was face to face with none other than Judy Fabray.
The blond couldn't breathe, her throat went dry and she began to look around, eyes darting across the room looking for any sign of her father.
"There's no point in looking, he's not here" Judy's voice came out quiet and hoarse.
Quinn swallowed. "Mom what are you doing here?
Judy gave her a weak smile. "Rachel invited me" she whispered.
Quinn bit her lip and fought back tears, why would she do that?
Judy reached out and took Quinn's hand in hers.
"Quinn, Rachel called me and said she wanted me to be here, that you needed me to be there, and I know she is right, I would never dream of missing your wedding day baby girl" she announced.
Quinn nodded and slowly the tears welled up in her eyes.
"Quinn, I know what I did was wrong, I should have stood up for you and I made the exact same mistake I did last year but I was scared of losing your father again. I love him so much Quinnie, and I can't leave him for acting on what he believes in. He felt betrayed that you wouldn't believe in the same beliefs he does, but I saw what you and Rachel said to each other tonight and if he could see that then maybe he could give Rachel a chance" she whispered, meeting her daughters eyes.
Quinn bit her lip and nodded again, unable to find words.
"Quinnie, I better go to my hotel now, I'm so glad you're happy and I'm so glad that Rachel can be here to share it with you, I'll talk to your father and be in touch soon, I promise" she told her daughter smiling.
"O-okay" Quinn managed.
Judy pulled her daughter into her arms and let a tear fall freely down her cheek. "I love you Quinnie, I always will" she whispered into the blond's hair.
Quinn smiled. "I love you too mommy".
And with that Judy walked out of her life again, leaving her shocked and frozen in her spot.
Quinn ran her fingers through her hair, suddenly becoming very sweaty.
"I need some air" she whispered to herself, and carefully made her way towards the exit.
When she opened the door she was greeted by the cool night air, tingling against her bare skin.
It probably would have been smart to put on her jacket, or at least a sweater.
She wrapped her arms tightly around herself and cleaned up against the wall.
The blond took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
She tried to replay in her mind the event that had just taken place. The last person she ever expected to show up was her mother.
Quinn was jolted out of her thoughts by the sound of someone clearing their throat.
Her eyes shot around into the darkness, until she spotted him.
He was wearing a tux and carried a bouquet of daisies, a nervous look broke out on his face.
Quinn didn't know what to feel. Angry, hurt, sad.
"Finn, what are you doing here?" she hissed, stepping forward.
He clutched tighter at the flowers in his trembling hands.
"Quinn I, please don't try and hit me again, I just came to give these to Rachel" he said, extending his hand that was wrapped tightly around the bouquet.
Quinn stared at him, not moving.
He pushed them farther towards her.
"There daisies, Rachel's favourite" he whispered.
Quinn let out a short laugh. "Really Finn? You were with the girl for close to 5 years, and you couldn't even remember that her favourite flowers are lilies?" she snapped.
He looked at her confused. "No, there daisies".
Quinn rolled her eyes. "Finn, In high school when Rachel and I weren't so close, I even knew that they were lilies, she use to drop hints to you everyday so that you would get them for her" she yelled.
He furrowed his brows. "Oh, well can you please just give these to her?" he asked.
Quinn grabbed the flowers from his hand and began to walk away. "I'll think about it" she whispered.
Right as she was about to open the door Finn spoke.
"You're not good enough for her". He told her.
Well here we go again, she thought to herself.
She turned around and gave him her head bitch smirk. "Really Finn? Then why am I marrying her? Why didn't you marry her? I got engaged to her after a month, you were with her for 5 years and did she ever bring up marriage to you? No, because she was in love with me Finn, you were her gay beard" she yelled.
His face went red and his eyes glazed over with anger, as he started walking towards her, so much pain in each stride.
Right when he got in front of her, he clenched his fists but suddenly he was being pulled away by strong arms.
Elijah spun him around.
"You better leave right now Hudson, and if you ever come near my daughter or daughter in law again there will be consequences!" he yelled, in the tall boys face.
Finn nodded his head, and began to speed walk away.
Quinn swore she heard a "sorry" but she couldn't be too sure.
The older Berry turned around to face Quinn. "are you okay?" he asked her.
She looked at him with wide eyes. "I think so" she responded.
He put his hands on her shoulders. "Quinn you're a very brave girl, standing up for Rachel like that, thank you" he told her.
She pulled him into a hug. "I'm always going to protect her".
Rachel spotted Quinn sitting in the same spot where she left her.
She walked over and sat down in chair beside her wife.
"Hey" she yelled over the music.
Quinn turned to face her."why did you invite my mother?" she asked, with pain in her voice.
Rachel winced then smirked at her. "Why did you invite my mom?" she asked in a mocking tone.
Both stared at each other.
"She deserved to come" both said at the exact same time.
A smile broke out on Quinn's face and Rachel started to giggle.
Quinn leaned in and kissed her cheek. "My mom's going to talk to my dad about giving us a chance" she whispered, and Rachel gasped, pulling her into a hug.
"Shelby said she wants to get closer to me again" she whispered, debating whether to tell Quinn about the Beth part or not.
Quinn pulled away. "are you goi-" but before she could finish, Rachel's finger was against her lips.
"Look".
Jesse eagerly walked around the room, looking for Rachel.
And then he spotted him.
His hair was combed back perfectly, and his black suit was without a crinkle, his face was flawless and his pale skin glowed in the light.
The only boy who had ever really caught his eye at McKinley high.
Jesse slowly walked up beside the boy and cleared his throat. "Kurt" he greeted.
Kurt turned his head slowly and gave the boy a weak smile.
"Hello Jesse".
Jesse smiled. "Having fun?" he asked.
Kurt shrugged. "It's alright, I mean I am so happy for Quinn and Rachel but I'm just going through a... rough patch right now" he whispered.
Jesse frowned. "Want to talk?" he asked, sincerely.
Kurt smiled at him.
"Sure, that would be great".
The younger boy turned his attention to Jesse, and took a seat, motioning for Jesse to take the one beside him.
Soon enough, Jesse planted himself in the chair.
"So tell me what's up" he said.
Kurt kinked an eyebrow. "Why are you suddenly trying to be my friend? You broke my best friend's heart and screwed us over at regionals" he snapped.
Jesse winced. "1. I always thought you were pretty talented. 2. I know I hurt Rachel and I've been trying to earn back her forgiveness and I plan on doing so for a while. 3. That was the power of show biz, I was too overwhelmed in winning" he responded.
Kurt smiled. "I know I'm talented, and why the sudden change?" he asked.
Jesse shrugged. "After a while you realize you can't have it all, so just be happy with what you have" he announced.
Kurt smiled. "Very true".
Jesse cleared his throat, trying to shake off the feeling in his stomach.
"So tell me what's wrong".
Kurt looked at the floor. "Well Blaine and I broke up a while ago, and I guess I'm just having some trouble, processing things" he whispered.
Jesse felt genuinely sad for the boy.
He put his hand on Kurt's shoulder which sent chills down his own body and looked him in the eye.
"You know what you need to do?" he asked.
Kurt suddenly felt very warm and his skin tingled where Jesse touched him, he met Jesse's gaze."what?" he asked.
Jesse smirked. "Find someone better than him" he whispered.
Kurt blushed intensely.
"I believe your right".
Quinn's eye brows were now in her hairline.
"Was that-?"
Rachel bit her lips. "Kurt and Jesse"
Quinn's hand grabbed hers.
"Flirting?" they both said in unison.
Rachel shook her head. "This night cannot get any weirder".
Quinn frowned. "actually, I bet I can change that" she said, and held out the daisies to Rachel.
The brunette s eyes lit up. "Quinn you shouldn't have, although I don't necessarily enjoy Dai-" but before she could finish Quinn's hand was voering her lips.
"Rach, there not from me, besides I know you and your lilies" she winked.
Rachel's face broke out into a grin. "You know me to well, wait, who are these from?" she asked.
Quinn frowned. "Finn."
Rachel's face twisted. "What? When did you see him? Why was he here?" she yelled.
Quinn smiled. "I went out for air and he told me to give these to you, he left though".
Rachel raised an eyebrow. "What aren't you telling me?" she asked.
Quinn sighed.
"He sort of, came at me again said I wasn't good enough for you, but your dad stopped him and sent him away" she explained.
Rachel's eyes widened.
"Quinn, I'm so sorry, he shouldn't have come, are you okay?" she asked.
Quinn nodded. "I'm fine now, kiss me" she demanded.
Rachel nodded, and pulled Quinn s face to hers, planting a deep kiss on her lips.
"I love you Quinn Fabray".
"I love you too Rachel Fabray".
