Quinn was sitting in a bench near the ER while Mike went to call his family's home to inform them what was going on with Melrose and that the poor little blonde girl was in a desperate need of blood donors. Quinn was still crying her heart out when she felt her phone rang. Without looking at the caller's ID, she answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Lucy?"
"Sam…" Her voice sounded more like a whisper.
"Lucy, you're crying? What's wrong? Santana told me that you just left the studio without explaining anything ," his voice sounded really worried.
"I… I was…" But Quinn couldn't speak. She broke down instead.
"Luce, where are you?"
"Lima Memorial…"
"Your mom's at the hospital again?"
"No, not her… It's my– she got hit by a car… losing lots of blood… I'm scared; I don't know what to do… I just– I need you… and I– "
"Luce, you're rambling. Just wait, okay? I'll be there in a flash."
With that, the phone call ended. Quinn just dropped her phone to her side. She didn't really care if Sam could find out about everything. She just needed him; she needed someone to keep her sane. She buried her face in her hands and cried even more.
"Lucy?"
Quinn who was still crying finally lifted her head up and met Sam's worried face. Without waiting, she jumped from her seat and went to Sam's arms, seeking for comfort.
Sam wrapped his arms around Quinn's waist and strokes her back while dropping some kisses on the top of her head.
"Luce, what's wrong? Tell me," he said worriedly.
Quinn didn't talk. She was hyperventilating and Sam kept holding her close. He was really confused. What did she said on the phone? Someone got hit by a car?
When he felt that she was a little bit calmer than before, Sam pulled away but he didn't let her go. He wiped the tears on her eyes and asked, "Hey, what's wrong? Want to tell me something?"
Quinn nodded her head slightly. She motioned him to the bench. Sam got the message and took both of them there. He sat next to her and held her hands.
"What's wrong, Beautiful? I'm here now and I won't leave until I know that you're fine. Mind to tell me what happened?" he asked as he strokes the back of Quinn's hand with his thumb.
Quinn took a deep breath. She knew she needed to make up some story about what happened. She couldn't just say that her daughter was dying…
"Lucy?" Sam asked again. He started to get really worried. It wasn't usual. Lucy never behaved like this.
"It's this… little girl. She got hit by a car not to far from the studio. I saw it and the one that hit her just ran away. No one helped her and I just felt like I have to help her. So I did…" Quinn finally said, still sobbing.
"And you did the right thing," he smiled at her. "How's that girl?"
"She's still in the ER. No serious injury but she's losing lots of blood. She needs an O and they don't have any–"
"I'm an O. I can help her," Sam cut her off.
Quinn's eyes went wide. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, sure I–"
Quinn cut him off with a kiss on his lips. Sam was surprised but he liked it. But before he could deepen the kiss, Quinn pulled away.
"Oh God, I shouldn't do that but–"
Sam chuckled. "Never felt sorry for a kiss, okay?"
Quinn felt a smile crept on her face. "But are you seriously want to help her? I mean, you don't even know her…"
"Hey, you also helped her without knowing who she is. Come on, let's help her before it's too late," Sam said as he offered his hand and Quinn took it without hesitation.
"Doc, I found a donor for Melrose," Quinn said as they arrived at the doctor's station.
"Oh, that's good Mrs. Fabray. We actually found one just now but if you want…" the doctor trailed off as he averted his gaze to the blonde man next to Quinn.
"Sam. Sam Evans," Sam introduced himself.
The doctor nodded and turned his gaze back to Quinn. "If you want Mr. Evans to be the donor, then it won't be a problem."
"He would be perfect," Quinn said.
"Okay then. So, if you're ready now, you need to follow me over here, Mr. Evans," the doctor said as he went into a lab.
Sam turned to Quinn and asked, "You want to come with me?"
"Sure…"
Few minutes later, the doctor was done taking Sam's blood and went back to the ER immediately, leaving Sam and Quinn alone in the lab.
"So, that girl. What's her name?" Sam asked while still holding Quinn's hand. He never let go of that small hand of hers ever since he arrived at the hospital and found her crying desperately.
"Melrose." Quinn answered honestly because she couldn't really think of another name other than her daughter's name.
"Have you called her parents yet?"
Now she had to lie. "She's an orphan…" And that was too painful to say.
"Oh…"
"She lives in an orphanage. I managed to track them down, that's how we know her name too. I already called them before you called me."
"Why aren't they coming?"
"They're on their way."
They fell into a comfortable silence before Sam broke it. "Wanna wait for them in front of the ER?"
"I think I have to…"
"Let's go then," he said as he pulled the two of them out from their seat and walked them back to the ER.
"I really want to stay here with you but I was in the middle of that damn weekly meeting when Santana called, sounded so worried, and I just ran out and called you without telling Dad. He would be furious," Sam said once they arrived back at the ER.
Quinn brought her gaze down. "I'm sorry if I got you into trouble…"
"Hey, don't worry about that. You're more important," he smiled as he lifted Quinn's chin up. "You want me to pick you up later?"
Quinn hesitated for a moment before she said, "I think I'm going to stay here tonight. Is that okay?"
"If that's what you want. I should get going. Call me, okay?" he said as he kissed Quinn's forehead.
"Okay. Sam…"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
"Anytime, Luce."
"Oh Quinn, there you are! I was looking for you. Where have you been? Have you find any donors yet? Gosh, O was like the most common blood type but why when we need it there's no–"
"Mike, relax… I found it already," Quinn said, immediately stopping Mike from rambling. She was still sitting on the bench near the ER where Sam left her earlier.
Mike let out a relieved. "Really? Who's that kind person and where do you find them?"
"It's–"
The sound of the door opened cut Quinn off. The doctor came out and approached both Quinn and Mike.
"Mrs. Fabray?" he called.
"Yes? How's Melrose?" Quinn asked worriedly.
"Your daughter is doing fine. Mr. Evans came in the right time. If he came 5 minutes later, something fatal will happen. But no worries, she's doing fine. We're going to move her into a regular room after this and we'll have her stay for few more days just to monitor her," the doctor said.
Both Quinn and Mike breathed out a relieved. They said thank you to the doctor and the doctor went away.
"See, Quinn? I told you! Melrose will be fine," Mike said as he hugged his sister.
"Oh God. Finally I can breathe…" Quinn said. Tears appeared in her eyes.
"Then why are you crying?" he wiped those tears.
"Happy tears, I guess…"
"I do have one question, though," he said as he broke the hug and went back to seat.
Quinn copied Mike's movement. "What?"
"Mr. Evans?" he raised an eyebrow.
Quinn already knew that Mike would ask her about this. "It's Sam…" she muttered.
"Sam? As in Sam Evans, Lucy Fabray's boyfriend?" Mike was surprised.
Quinn nodded. "The one and only."
"Are you crazy? You could–"
"I could blow everything up even before I started? Yes, I know that. But he called me and I just told him where I was and the next thing I know he showed up," Quinn tried her best to explain.
"What happened after he came?"
"I sorta told him everything… not the details, though. Somehow he told me that he's an O and he would love to help. So I let him."
"Wow, do you understand how dangerous this situation is?"
"I completely aware of that. But look at the bright side of it."
"And what was that?" Mike asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"He saved my daughter's life..."
"And he sorta calm you down, you know."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh come on! You were basically freaking out earlier. Well, I couldn't blame you. Your daughter was dying. But now, you were somehow not crying anymore and more relax," he shrugged.
"I… don't know. He did calm me down in a way that I couldn't even understand."
"Maybe he's falling for the fake Lucy?"
"Oh, God. I hope no. It's just going to be complicated."
"You don't know about that, though."
They fell into a comfortable silence before Quinn talked again. "Hey, Mike. Would you do me a favor?"
"Sure thing, sis. What's that?"
"Well, if Sam showed up again and he met you or the rest of the family, you should introduce yourself as the people from the orphanage…"
"Orphanage?" asked Mike confused. But when he realized what did Quinn mean he became pissed, "Are you crazy? She's not an orphan why would you say–"
"I know, in fact I'm her mom. But I can't just say that it was my daughter, right? I need to make some story and that just popped up in my head."
"Whatever, Quinn." Mike was pissed. How could Quinn say that about her own daughter?
"Mike…" Quinn knew she was wrong. But she had to do this.
"Okay, fine. You do know that I always do everything for you, right?"
