Hey! This chapter is pretty long, as I promised :3 The songs I used are Fame by Naturi Naughton, Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana and Innocence by Avril Lavigne. Enjoy!
"Your father is Jesse St. James!"
Jesse kept smiling at Barbra, and Jonathan laughed at her expression of absolute surprise.
"Yeah" he said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Barbra said to her boyfriend.
"I didn't think it was important" Jonathan shrugged.
"Are you kidding me? He's one of my idols!" Barbra shook his hand enthusiastically "Mr. St. James, I'm a big fan of yours!"
"Oh, thank you!" Jesse said kindly.
"I don't know if you remember me. I'm Barbra Hudson. My mother worked with you in Spring Awakening, and she took me to one of the rehearsals once."
"Oh, you're Rachel's daughter!" Jesse exclaimed "You have grown a lot. When I first saw you, you were like eight years old!"
Barbra smiled at him, happy that Jesse still remembered her.
"So how's your mom?" Jesse asked, sitting in the table.
"Fine, she's working a lot" Barbra said, and she and Jonathan sat too.
"Did she move to Ohio?" Jesse asked.
"No, she's still in New York. I'm living with my uncles." The girl explained. "I thought you lived in New York, too."
"My dad and I moved here a few years ago" Jonathan said "He was offered to coach Vocal Adrenaline."
"So why aren't you studying at Carmel High?" Barbra asked.
"I was. But I was tired of being in Vocal Adrenaline. My dad was too harsh on me."
"Nah, that's not true!" Jesse said "You didn't want to be there because you had stage fright."
"Well, maybe…" Jonathan said, embarrassed.
"I still can't believe that you're Jesse St. James' son!" Barbra exclaimed.
"I told you my last name was St. James"
"Yes, but I didn't thought you were related"
"Jonathan, why don't you go and make some tea?" Jesse said, smiling.
"Sure" Jonathan stood up and went to the kitchen.
"You look a lot like your mother" Jesse said.
"Thanks. Jonathan looks a lot like you too"
"I would say he looks like his mother"
"How was she like?"
Jesse pointed at the fireplace. On top of it, there were a lot of pictures. Barbra looked at Jesse.
"Can I?" she asked.
"Sure"
Barbra stood up and walked towards the fireplace. She took a picture in which a beautiful woman, around thirty years old, smiled happily at the camera. She had long blonde hair and grey eyes. Jesse was right. Jonathan looked a lot like her, especially when he smiled. Jesse walked towards the fireplace too, and stood behind Barbra.
"She was so beautiful…" Barbra said.
"Her name was Judy" Jesse said, smiling. "Jonathan was five years old when she died. A car accident" he explained.
Barbra looked at Jesse, and then she looked at the other photographs. In one of them, Jesse and Judy were at the beach, sitting in the sand, and a little Jonathan was standing in the middle of them, smiling broadly with a shell in his hand.
"They were really close" Jesse said, looking at the same picture "It was really hard for Jonathan, he was very young."
Barbra bit her lip and left the picture on top of the fireplace again.
"I can't imagine how it feels" she said quietly "Losing someone so important…"
"It hurts" Jesse said "At first, it's almost as you were dead on the inside. But you have to move on, eventually. It doesn't mean that you have to forget, it means that you have to learn how to live with those memories."
Barbra wiped a tear away. Jesse laughed.
"Why are you crying?"
"I'm sorry" she said "It's just that… It's so sad"
Jesse smiled at her. Yeah, she was a lot like her mother. He put a hand on Barbra's shoulder.
"Come on, I'm sure Jonathan is done with the tea."
Alma was in William's office, helping him with some papers.
"Dad, I need your help" Alma said.
"What happened?"
"Well, lately the kids seem… bored and unmotivated" Alma explained, organizing the papers "I don't know what to do to make them feel challenged."
"Why don't you try a Guys vs. Girls competition?" William suggested.
"Guys vs. Girls?"
"Yeah. A competition always makes them feel motivated. It worked with my kids."
"Well, that's a good idea."
"Of course it is. Now let's finish with these papers before I go crazy."
"Guys vs. Girls?" Elizabeth asked, looking at Alma. The teacher nodded.
"It sounds fun" Jonathan said, smiling.
"What does the winner get?" Sam asked, excited.
"Well…" Alma hadn't thought about it "It's a surprise!"
The kids looked at each other and started talking, excited. Alma smiled at them. Her dad was right.
"We should do a rock number" Steven suggested to the rest of the boys.
"Oh, definitely!" David said, and the rest nodded.
"I have the perfect idea" Elizabeth said, and everyone came closer to her. She whispered something to them, and the girls nodded and smiled.
"Papa, I need your help" Elizabeth put the dress on the table, in front of Kurt. "We're having a Guys vs. Girls in the Glee Club, and I need your help with my dress."
"Oh, I remember when we used to do that!" Kurt said, smiling. He left his magazine aside and took the dress "It was so fun!"
"Did you do Guys vs. Girls with Mr. Schue?" Elizabeth asked, sitting next to him.
"Of course. Unfortunately, I always had to work with the boys."
Elizabeth laughed. Kurt looked at the dress, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I would cut it here" he said "Get rid of these horrible flown, do something with the sleeves…wait a second" Kurt looked at Elizabeth "Isn't this the dress Rachel gave you for your last birthday?"
"Yep"
"I knew I had seen this horrible thing before. It's like taken from my nightmares"
Elizabeth laughed again and looked at the dress. It was definitely horrible.
"We have a lot of work to do" she said.
"Yes, we do" Kurt said, smiling.
"No, you're doing it wrong!" Hannah said.
"How is it, then?" Steven asked, exasperated.
"Like this"
Hannah showed the dance step to Steven, and he watched carefully. When she was done, the boy nodded and tried again.
"No, like this!" Hannah did it again.
"I give up!" Steven said, flopping in a chair of the choir room "I suck at this!"
"Then why did you ask me to teach you how to dance?" Hannah asked, sitting next to him.
He looked at her. Hannah raised her eyebrows in question.
"Do you want to know?" Steven asked.
"Yes"
"I wanted to be with you."
Hannah blushed and looked down for a moment, before she looked back at Steven.
"Why?" she asked.
"Well…" Steven made a little pause, and looked at Hannah in the eyes "Because I like you, I guess"
Hannah felt like she was going to melt. Steven kept gazing into her eyes, a little smile in the corner of his lips. They remained silent for a little while, just sitting there, looking at each other.
"Steven, I…" Hannah started, but she stopped talking suddenly.
"What?" Steven asked.
"I don't know what to say…" the girl said.
Steven laughed. Hannah smiled a little, and Steven looked at her again, smiling too.
"You don't have to say anything" he said.
Hannah nodded, and they went silent again. Finally, Steven stood up, smiling.
"Show me that dance step again" he said "I'm sure I can make it this time"
"Okay" Hannah stood up.
The girls stood in front of the boys and Alma, their backs to them. They were all wearing matching blue dresses and flat shoes. They sang together, snapping their fingers and looking over their shoulders.

The twins put their backs together, standing in front of the rest, and sang.
Baby look at me…
The rest joined them, stepping forward. Hannah and Anna were the lead singers.
And tell me what you see,
You ain't seen the best of me yet,
Give me time, I'll make you forget the rest.
Lucy and Barbra linked arms and sang together.
I got more in me…
Then, all the girls sang with Barbra and Lucy, and they took the lead this time.
And you can set it free,
I can catch the moon in my hand,
Don't you know who I am?
They all sang the chorus together.
Remember my name
Fame!
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High!
I feel it comin' together
People will see me and cry
Fame!
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame

They stood in a line again, moving their hips and shoulders to the rhythm.

Sam and Elizabeth put their arms around each other waist and sang.
Baby hold me tight…
They kept singing, and the rest of the girl sang with them.
Cuz you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I've got to give
All of them pointed at the boys, smiling sideways.
Baby I return…
They turned around and walked around each other, singing.
Too much is not enough,
I can ride your heart 'till it breaks,
Ooh, I've got what it takes
The girls sang the chorus again.
Remember my name
Fame!
I'm gonna live forever

The girls jumped, singing.
Fame!
They sang the chorus for the last time, with Elizabeth on the lead.
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High!
I feel it comin' together
People will see me and cry
Fame!
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame

All the girls, excepting Elizabeth, walked backwards while singing.

Elizabeth sang again, smiling.
Remember my name
She joined the rest of girls, who were standing in a line, as they sang.
Remember
Remember
Remember
Elizabeth sang the final line, and they stood with their hands in their hips, and a smile in their lips.
Remember my name...
The boys and Alma stood up, clapping. David whistled, as the girls bowed, smiling broadly.
"That was awesome, girls!" Alma exclaimed. "Boys, you're going to have to work hard if you want to win against them!"
The girls sat with the boys, smiling.
"They can't win" Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, we were just too awesome. You can't overcome that" Anna said.
"Oh, yes we can." James said "And we will"
The boys nodded in agreement.
Barbra and Jonathan were taking a walk, holding hands.
"Why didn't you tell me about your mom?" Barbra said.
"I don't know" Jonathan said "I don't… I don't really talk about it. With anyone, not even my dad."
"I see"
They kept walking in silence. Every once in a while, Barbra looked at Jonathan like she was going to say something, but she looked down again, without saying a word. The boy noticed.
"What?" he asked.
"Your father showed me a picture of her" Barbra said "He told me you are a lot like her"
"Not really" Jonathan said, looking at his shoes while they walked "She was very brave, and I'm just a coward"
"That's not true!"
"Yes, it is. I can't even sing in front of people!"
"You did it last week, remember? You sang in the Glee Club."
"Yes, because I know you all, and I trust you" Jonathan scowled "But at Sectionals, I almost had a heart attack. I had my eyes closed the whole time."
"That doesn't mean you're a coward."
Jonathan looked at her, and they stopped walking.
"When she died, I was five years old. Did my father tell you that?"
"Yes"
"After my dad told me that my mom had died, I sat in the front yard, waiting for her to come back. They had told me that she wouldn't, but still… I couldn't accept it." Jonathan sighed "I was too afraid to accept it."
Barbra hugged him, and he rested his head on her shoulder, trying not to cry.
"Jonathan, you were a kid"
"I know. But I still miss her, as if not a single day had passed since she left" Jonathan whispered "This is the reason I don't talk about her. It hurts to do it."
"I'm sorry" Barbra said "I made you talk about it"
"No, I needed to do it" Jonathan smiled sadly at her "I feel a little better now."
"If you ever need to talk with me, I'll be here" Barbra said, holding his hand.
Jonathan smiled and nodded.
"And what did you do?"
"Um… nothing"
"What do you mean with "nothing"? You didn't day anything?"
"I didn't know what to say…"
Anna sighed and buried her face in her pillow.
"Come on, Hannah!" she exclaimed.
"I'm sorry! I don't know how to react if a boy tells me he likes me!" Hannah said, hugging her own pillow.
"It's easy. If you like him too, you say "I like you too", and if you don't like him, you say it to him, finding the best way to not break his heart" Anna explained, using a tone you would use to explain a simple math problem to a kid.
"It's not that easy!"
"Do you like him or not?"
"I'm not sure…"
"There's the problem!" Anna said.
"He's nice and everything" Hannah said "But I don't know if I want anything serious with him"
"He didn't said that he wanted anything serious, he just said he likes you"
"Doesn't that mean that he wants something serious?"
"Not necessarily"
"I don't understand" Hannah said.
"Why don't you go on a date with him?" Anna suggested "You'll get to know each other better, and you could figure out if you like him or not."
"Okay" Hannah said, smiling.
"Dude, just ask her on a date!"
"I don't know, she doesn't seem to like me…"
"That's because she's shy. Anna told me that she thinks you're cute and nice."
Steven looked at James, smiling.
"Did she say that?" he asked.
"Yes" James stood up from his bed and looked at Steven, who was sitting in the floor "Look, you can't wait for her to take the initiative. Just ask her out"
"But what if she turns me down?"
"Well, at least you would've tried. But if you don't take a chance with her, you'll regret it later."
"You're right" Steven said "I'm going to ask her out"
"Great, dude!" James said, patting his shoulder. "Now, let's eat, I'm hungry"
"Me too" Steven said, and they both stood up.
As the music started, the boys stepped inside the choir room, one by one, wearing black jackets and torn jeans. They stood in front of the microphones, and looked at the girls, who smiled at them. James grabbed his microphone and started to sing.
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
The boys sang together, grabbing their microphones, without taking their eyes from the girls.
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello
They sang the chorus, stomping the floor.
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
The boys smiled confidently, as they kept singing.
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay
Spencer sang the next verse.
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Once again, all of them sang together.
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello
Before they sang the chorus again, they jumped in the air.
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay
During the instrumental part, they walked around the girls, smiling and winking at them. Then, they stood in front of them again, and Steven sang his part.
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
The girls kept smiling at them, as they sang.
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello
The boys were putting a lot of effort into the song, and they sounded amazing.
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
They grabbed the microphones tightly, and sang the last part.
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial
The girls and Alma clapped, smiling broadly. The boys bowed and sat with them.
"Wow, boys, that was amazing!" Alma said.
"Thank you, Miss Schue" James said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"So, who won?" Kevin asked, and everybody looked at Alma.
"Well, I don't know" Alma said "You were both amazing, I can't decide. I'll tell you tomorrow, okay?"
"Both teams were awesome, I can't decide!" Alma said to Brad. They were at the teacher's lounge.
"Why don't you tell them it's a tie?" Brad suggested, after taking a sip of his coffee.
"They won't be happy with that. I haven't even decided what the winner team gets."
"Um, I don't know" Brad thought about it for a moment "Why don't you ask your dad? He'll help you for sure."
"I will" Alma said "I don't know what I would do without him"
Brad smiled and took another sip of his coffee.
"It's nice talking to you again" he said "I missed spending time with you"
"Me too" Alma smiled at him.
"I'm officially divorced now" Brad said "Since yesterday"
"Really?"
"Yes. I almost can't believe it"
"That's…"
"Great" Brad smiled at her, and she smiled back.
"Yes, it is"
Brad took Alma's hand, and she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Hey, Hannah"
She turned around. Steven was walking towards her. Hannah smiled and closed her locker.
"Hi, Steven"
"Um, I was wondering…" Steven asked, nervous. "Would you like to go out with me tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Hannah said, smiling.
"Yeah? Cool!" Steven grinned. They stood there for a while, smiling at each other. "Well, I gotta go. See you!"
"Ok" Hannah watched him go, and then she turned around. Anna was leaning on the lockers, smiling at her.
"Well, that was adorable" she said.
Hannah hugged her, laughing. Anna hugged her back.
"He asked me out!"
"I know, I saw it!"
Hannah grinned at her sister.
"Thank you!" she said.
"For what?" Anna asked.
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a date tomorrow"
"Yeah, I'm awesome."
The twins laughed and walked away, talking enthusiastically.
Elizabeth sobbed quietly and rested her head on Sam's shoulder, and Sam used her sleeve to wipe her tears away. On the other couch, Lucy buried her head on David's chest, and he put his arms around her. David looked like he was about to cry too, and he was doing his best to hold back his tears. Barbra and Jonathan were sitting in the floor, and they were both crying.
"Why did Dobby have to die?" Elizabeth said when the end credits appeared in the TV screen.
"It's so unfair!" Lucy said. She looked at David "David, are you crying?"
"No, I'm not" David said.
"Yes, you are!" Sam said, laughing.
"Okay, it's just so sad! He was trying to save them!" David said, and Lucy smiled at him.
"He had an honorable death" Jonathan said, wiping away his own tears.
"What are you guys doing?" Blaine said, entering the living room. He saw the TV screen "You're having a Harry Potter marathon and you didn't invite me?"
"We still have to watch the second part of The Deathly Hallows" Elizabeth said, showing him the DVD "Do you want to watch it with us?"
"Yes!" Blaine said, sitting in the couch next to Sam.
As Elizabeth stood up to replace the DVD, Kurt opened the door and looked around.
"Blaine, there you are!" he said "I'm going to the supermarket, come with me"
"But I'm going to watch Harry Potter with the kids!"
"Blaine, you saw that movie like a thousand times!"
"So?"
"Okay, I'm going alone" Kurt turned around, and before he left, he said "And I'm going to flirt with the cute cashier, by the way!"
"What?" Blaine stood up "Hey, wait!"
Blaine left the living room, and everyone laughed. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and placed the movie in the DVD player. She sat next to Sam again, and leaned against her.
"Who do you think will win the Guys vs. Girls?" Jonathan asked, as the main menu appeared on the screen.
"Oh, definitely the girls" Elizabeth said, and Sam and Lucy nodded.
"I don't think so" David said.
"Of course we are going to win!" Lucy said.
"No, we are going to win!" Jonathan said.
"Okay, everybody shut up and watch the movie!" Sam said, and everyone went quiet "But we are going to win"
They started to argue again, as the movie started.
Everyone looked expectantly at Alma. She was going to tell them which team had won. The teacher sat in front of the kids.
"I know I have to tell you who are the winners" she said "But the truth is, I can't decide."
The kids started to complain.
"I know, I'm sorry" she said "I planned this competition for you to feel motivated, because lately I was feeling like you were bored during the Glee Club lessons"
"That's ridiculous, Miss Schue" Kevin said.
"Yeah, we love the Glee Club" Barbra said, and everyone nodded.
"Really?" Alma asked, smiling.
"Of course. It's my favorite part of the day" Elizabeth said.
Alma smiled at her kids.
"It's my favorite part of the day too" she said.
"I think is time for a group hug!" Spencer exclaimed.
Everyone laughed and jumped from their seats. They hugged Alma, and she laughed with them.
"Anna!"
Hannah opened the front door, grinning like a little kid. Anna, who was sitting in the couch watching TV, looked at her.
"How did it go?" she asked.
Hannah jumped in the couch, with a huge smile still on her face.
"It was awesome! We watched a movie, and then we had coffee. We talked a lot, and we have a lot in common!"
"Hey, that's cool!" Anna smiled at her sister.
"Yeah!" Hannah was so happy it was contagious.
"I told you that you had to go on a date with him! Did he kiss you?"
"Umm, nope" Hannah said. "But I think it's better that way. I want to take things slow."
Anna smiled and nodded, and Hannah stood up.
"I'm going to change" she said, and then she ran upstairs.
Anna watched her go, smiling. She seemed really happy, and Anna hadn't seen her like that in ages. She heard Hannah singing upstairs.
"Anna!" Hannah shouted "I got a text from Steven!"
"What does it say?"
"I had a great time today!" Hannah exclaimed "And a happy face!"
Anna laughed and kept watching TV.
Elizabeth looked out the window. The raindrops were hitting the glass one after another. The sound of the rain was relaxing, and the girl was about to fall asleep. Sam was lying next to her in the bed, already asleep. Elizabeth rested her head on her chest, listening to her heartbeat and her steady breathing. She closed her eyes, enjoying the moment.
"I hate rain" Sam said.
"I love rain" Elizabeth said, lying on the floor while flipping through a magazine "It's relaxing"
Sam, who was sitting next to her, looked out the window and sighed.
"It's boring. You can't play outside when it's raining" she said.
"Yes you can. But you'll get wet if you do" Elizabeth closed the magazine and looked at Sam "Besides, there's something you can do while it's raining, and I bet you'll love it"
"What?" Sam asked.
"Sleep" Elizabeth smiled.
"Sleep?"
"Yes, sleeping while it's raining it's the best!"
Sam climbed on her bed and closed her eyes. She patted the mattress next to her for Elizabeth to lay there. She did, and they both closed their eyes.
"You see?" Elizabeth said.
When she didn't get an answer, she opened one eye to look at Sam. She had already fallen asleep, her lips parted and her hands on top of her stomach. Elizabeth smiled and scooted closer to her, resting her head on her chest. Slowly, she fell asleep too.
Elizabeth opened her eyes slowly. Sam was caressing her hair, smiling absently. It was still raining.
"Hi" Elizabeth said, her voice hoarse from sleep.
"Hey" Sam said.
They didn't say anything else. The girls just laid there, listening to the rain and feeling each other's warmness. Sam kept playing with Elizabeth's hair, and she gently caressed her neck.
"Do you remember when we were kids, and every time it was raining, we fell asleep?" Elizabeth said.
"Yes" Sam smiled "I guess that hasn't changed"
Elizabeth chuckled. She sat straight and looked at Sam, smiling.
"What?" Sam asked, smiling too.
Elizabeth didn't answer. She got off the bed and stretched. Then she sat in front of her keyboard. Sam sat in the bed.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I just…" Elizabeth shrugged, looking at Sam "I want to sing"
Sam chuckled, and Elizabeth looked at the keyboard again. She started to play, and Sam didn't take her eyes from her. Elizabeth started to sing.
Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
She looked at Sam and smiled.
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
Elizabeth closed her eyes for a moment, singing the chorus.
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
Sam stood up and hugged Elizabeth from behind as she played. She kept singing.
I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
They sang together.
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
Their voices harmonized together, as the rain kept falling.
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
The girls smiled and sang, feeling warm on the inside.
It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
Elizabeth looked at Sam, and they kept singing.
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliant
Makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliant
Please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
Sam and Elizabeth pressed their foreheads together, and sang the chorus for the last time.
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by
Elizabeth played the last notes, and when she finished, they stayed there, listening to the rain.
"Hello, everybody!"
Barbra entered the house and closed the door behind her. Kurt and Blaine were sitting in the living room, drinking coffee and talking.
"Hi, Barbra" Blaine said. "Where have you been?"
"At Jonathan's house" she said, sitting next to her uncle "I met his dad a few days ago, he's really cool."
"Really?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. Well, technically I didn't met him yesterday, we met when a was eight"
"Where?" Blaine asked, sipping his coffee.
"My mom worked with him once, and she had to take me to the rehearsals once because dad couldn't take care of me that day." Barbra explained.
"Oh, Rachel worked with him?" Kurt asked "What's his name? Maybe I know him."
"Jesse St. James"
Blaine choked on his coffee and started coughing. Kurt widened his eyes, and he almost dropped his mug. Barbra frowned, confused.
"Jesse St. James?" Kurt asked, leaving the mug in the coffee table "Are you sure?"
"Yeah" Barbra said "Is something wrong?"
Kurt stood up and took the phone. Blaine stopped coughing and looked at him. Kurt waited until they picked up the phone.
"Hello, Finn? It's me, Kurt" he said "Is Rachel there? Yeah, thank you"
"What's wrong?" Barbra asked to Blaine, but he didn't answer.
"Hi, Rachel" Kurt said "I need to tell you something."
Barbra was getting worried. Why did her uncles react like that? Why was Kurt calling her mother?
"Your daughter is dating Jesse St. James' son" Kurt said to Rachel.
Finn and Adam were looking at Rachel, as she talked on the phone with Kurt. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she almost dropped the phone. She turned pale, and Finn stood up, thinking that she was going to faint.
"WHAT?" she exclaimed. Finn and Adam exchanged worried looks. "Okay. Okay. Thanks, Kurt."
She hung up the phone, and looked at them. Finn put his hands on her shoulders, worried, and Adam went to get a glass of water.
"Rachel, are you okay?" Finn asked.
"Finn, honey, you might want to sit down" Rachel said.
"What happened?" Finn said, and he sat on the couch.

How will Finn react to the news? It will be fun to write that! Your reviews are my favorite thing in this world :3
