CHAPTER 13

Taylor was more than ecstatic when she could leave. The doctors had extended her stay to Wednesday to make sure her ribs healed correctly and that they wouldn't puncture a lung if she laughed or breathed in too deep.

Taylor had to use a wheelchair which pissed her off. She hit Santana a few times when she made jokes about the wheelchair and compared her to Artie. Mostly for being compared to Artie. Melissa was still with her and she was repaying Beth that night once school got out.

School was one thing Taylor could put off if she could. But she had to go back on Monday.

It turned out Rachel was listed as next of kin by Ella and when she asked when it was changed it was the day Ella had come over during breakfast and decided to start spending more time with her daughter. Rachel was shocked but none the less this woman trusted her with her daughter. Everything was going great.

That night for dinner they all got together at Quinn's restaurant five minutes before the school got out. Santana went to pick up Beth leaving Taylor to play the games on her phone and Melissa was talking to Quinn.

"It's just for the night, you'll need the help and I'm working for free."

"Why?" Quinn asked and Melissa looked down in shame.

"I was part of the group picking on your daughter." Melissa said. "She forgave me and I am sorry, I have this problem of taking my anger out on those who don't deserve it." Melissa said.

Quinn smiled small. To her Beth was right and Melissa was the Santana in the relationship, but she could see there are times when the roles are reversed. Quinn handed her an apron and order booklet.

"Here you go. If Beth forgave you then I guess I'll have to trust her. But why would you work for free tonight?" Quinn asked as if on cue the doors opened and a large group of teenagers walked in.

"Quinn, meet the football, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, hockey, soccer and swim team as well as the cheerleaders and the student body of the high school, there are some middle school kids in the mix." Melissa said putting the apron on.

"Where did they come from?" Quinn asked in shock as her staff stared out in shock.

"I told them they could find some great food here." Melissa said as Taylor rolled over and smacked her arm. "Hey!"

"You didn't tell me all of them would be here. You said a few friends." Taylor glared.

"Yeah, I said a few friends." Melissa smirked. "Who brought their friends." Melissa grabbed the handles on the wheelchair. "Now come on, some of them really want to see you." Melissa said pushing her out.

Rachel walked over to Quinn and lifted her jaw with her index finger. "You're going to catch flies like that." Rachel giggled.

"I've never had this many people in my restaurant." Quinn said dumbfounded.

"That is a lot of people." Brittany commented as the doors opened once again and more people walked in.

"Who are they?" Quinn asked as Beth and Santana walked in.

"The theater kids, choir group and band geeks." Beth said. "Taylor's group of people." She shrugged.

One of Quinn's chefs walked over. "Uh boss, we don't have a big enough staff." He said shocked.

"Meeting!" Quinn yelled as her staff gathered around. "Ok, chefs, we are going to be working triple times our usual, waiters and waitresses, we have one helper for the night so get busy."

"We'll help!" Brittany chirped.

"I am always there for a friend in need." Rachel smiled and Santana shrugged.

"Why not?"

"Ok, Santana, Brittany I want you two here, your dancing should make it easier for you two to move around the kitchen. Rachel and Beth you're out there helping take orders and remember to write the table number down." Quinn instructed handing them aprons and order booklets.

Everything was lively. It was like they were some popular five star restaurant minus the fancy. Taylor was smiling and glad to see her friends who signed her cast. A lot of them recognized Rachel off Broadway or have seen some of her shows and asked for autographs and pictures. Rachel was happy to give.

Once everyone was gone and there was just a few people left that night Quinn was exhausted and so was her staff.

"Ok guys, we had a great day, get some rest, we open at noon tomorrow." Quinn said dismissing the staff. She had finished inventory and Santana counted the income of the day and did the books with a smile.

"The books say you made at least four times that you would make in a week."

Quinn hugged an unsuspecting Melissa. "Thank you."

"I don't know; your staff seemed pretty ticked." Melissa laughed.

"Yeah, but Q just got great business and Rachel Berry was here, that always attracts the press and more people." Santana said.

"Where's Taylor?" Brittany asked.

"She's sleeping." Beth giggled pointing to Taylor who had a dry dish towel over her cast and her head resting on it.

Rachel yawned. "We all had an exciting day."

Their excitement was brought to a screeching halt when a man in a business suit walked in with another man. Melissa recognized him and gently shook Taylor.

"Wake up lazy bones. You're god father is here." Melissa whispered shaking Taylor carefully.

Taylor shot awake. "Who?" She asked urgently.

"Your god father."

Taylor grabbed her and hid behind her. "Hide me."

Quinn and Santana walked out to the register with their HBIC façades on. "Can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Rachel Berry, I heard she was here." The man in the suit said.

Rachel stepped out. "That's me. Is there something I can help you with?"

The man handed her a folded sheet of paper. "I'm Ella's lawyer, the reading of the wills will be held tomorrow at noon, both you and Taylor are requested to be there."

"Both wills? Ella is still alive." Rachel said.

"Yes, but unable to actively care for her business and child. Noon Ms. Berry." The lawyer said.

Taylor rolled herself out with Melissa behind her.

"Taylor, I am so happy to see you are ok." The other man said taking a step towards Taylor who wheeled herself back and Melissa took a protective step in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" Taylor asked.

"I'm here for the will reading and to contest you staying with this woman." He said motioning to Rachel.

"I'd rather stay with Rachel than you." Taylor said.

"You've been through a traumatic event dear; you don't know what you want." He said with a fake smile.

"The shrink that interviewed me says differently." Taylor said.

"Shrink?" the man asked.

"Yes, Taylor was interviewed by a shrink the day after the accident and she said Taylor is fully competent for her own decisions and everything." Rachel said.

"We'll see what the will states." The man said as both walked out.

Review please. =D
