CHAPTER 26

Taylor was in the living room watching TV with Melissa, Leroy, Hiram and Shelby when Rachel woke up the next morning.

"Where were you all last night?" Rachel asked.

"Ok, we are the parents." Hiram said.

"You had my teenaged daughter out past one." Rachel pointed out.

"WE went to an underground club." Taylor answered and Melissa looked at her like she was crazy. "It was completely sober. Judy wouldn't let us drink and we played cards the whole night." Taylor said.

Rachel looked to her parents who nodded. "Very well." She turned to Taylor and held up the note. "Now explain this cryptic crap to me please."

"You have to follow us." Melissa smiles as they all stand. Melissa leaves the room and grabs the box with the dress in it. "And you'll need this."

Hiram opens the door and they all head out meeting Amy and Todd on the ground floor. Todd takes the package and leads them out to his car where, Shelby, Hiram, Leroy and Melissa get in.

"We're walking." Amy smiles as Taylor waves and Todd drives off.


Ten minutes later they arrived at a hair dresser.

"Why are we here?" Rachel asked as Taylor dragged her inside.

Amy walked to the counter.

"Hi. Rachel Berry at ten." She smiles and the lady leads them to a chair.

"We'll be over there." Taylor points to the chairs by the window.

They sit down and Rachel is wondering what is going on.

"I have no idea why I'm here." Rachel grumbles.

"Don't worry, they already paid and arranged for what style you'll be sporting today." The lady says and Rachel casts a glare at the two.

"Oh yeah, she's mad. I can't wait to see her face at the wedding." Taylor says and Amy giggles.

"So. How are things really going with Melissa?" Amy asks.

"Everything is good. No problems. We've had enough so we are glad for the smooth sailing. I do plan on marrying her though." Taylor smiles and Amy drops her jaw.

"No way!"

"I do." Taylor smiles.

"What song are you singing at the wedding?"

"I'm not. Puck is supposed to be singing it though. Quinn says she wants me to give a speech." Taylor scowled. "I hate making speeches."

"You didn't write it down?" Amy laughs.

"I've barely even thought one up yet." Taylor scoffs and Amy shakes her head in disbelief.

"You are something else Taylor." She chuckles.

"Maybe I should start now." Taylor pulls out her phone and opens office mobile.

"You're serious?" Amy asks and Taylor gives her a 'what do you think' look. Amy shakes her head again and sighs. "You are seriously unbelievable. What if this was your wedding?"

"Then I would have something written up." Taylor answers and Amy sighs. She gives up.

"You're impossible."

"You love me." Taylor grins as she turns back to her phone.


Their next stop was a jewelers.

"Hi. Pick up for Fabray please." Taylor smiles politely to the clerk who nods and smiles back going to get the order.

"Here you are."

"Thank you." Taylor takes the bag and goes to Rachel who is looking around. "Put these on." Taylor says and Rachel puts her hands on her hips giving Taylor a look. "Please?" Taylor shrinks back.

Rachel takes the bag and pulls out the boxes. She opens the small one and gasps. "These are gorgeous."

"Quinn picked them out." Amy smiles as Rachel puts them on.

"I'll help you with this one." Taylor says opening the other one and Rachel gasps again. It was a beautiful necklace with three diamonds on each side with a gold star pendant in the middle with a diamond in the middle.

"This is too much."

"If you think this is too much just wait." Taylor says and Amy smacks her shoulder. "Ow! I'm telling Todd!"

"Baby." Amy glares.


"Where are we going and why do I have to keep my eyes closed?" Rachel asks.

Taylor pulls her through all the open doors until they get to the one room where everything was waiting.

"You can open them know."

Rachel gasps. "What is this?"

"Just put the dress and shoes on Rachel. You're going to love this. Try not to cry though." Kurt says coming up to her holding the dress.


After getting her make up done and getting her into the dress Kurt clapped as Shelby walked in with Leroy.

"You ready?" Leroy asks and Kurt nods.

"Yes she is."

Leroy holds his arm out to Rachel and she takes it as Shelby hugs her.

"Let's go people." Santana says walking in. "Rapido!" She yells clapping.

"We're coming." Kurt says as they all walk out leaving Rachel with Leroy and Shelby.

Leroy and Shelby lead Rachel to two closed doors and Shelby hands Rachel the bouquet in her hand.

"I am proud of you." Shelby whispers hugging Rachel one last time before slipping through the doors without letting Rachel get a glimpse at what was beyond them.

"Dad, what is going on?" Rachel asks.

"You'll see."

Leroy smiles dropping a kiss to the crown of her head.

The double doors open and Rachel gasps.
