To The Dark Side
What if when Quinn joined the Skanks, she wasn't alone? What if she showed Rachel, Santana and Brittany the light and they joined her. What if more people joined them? Would Glee and McKinley survive?

Chapter 9: Meet the Family and War Begins
The rest of the day went swimmingly for New Meaning, they avoided any confrontations with ND and were able to skive off AP History to smoke and have fun, so they were chilled upon entering their new choir room, which turned out to be the main school auditorium. This pleased Rachel to no end because it meant that they could get the right pitch for their voice and get their set right for the Sectionals without rushing, whereas ND would have to work in a pokey choir room and then scramble to get their set list right. Oh Yes Rachel thought being the daughter of their glee club teacher is good.
They spent roughly an hour and a half discussing their song choices for Sectionals, Regionals and Nationals and picking songs that were suited to each member's voice range. This duty, they found out was fun because it allowed them to learn a lot about each other's choice of music, for example Brittany and Kurt liked Fall Out Boy, whereas Sugar and Puck liked Motorhead. This allowed Shelby a lot of leeway because it allowed her to base songs on this, therefore meaning solos were more readily available than what they would have been in ND with Will Schuester managing the club.
The group split around five thirty and agreed to meet up tomorrow for their first practice and the start of the humiliation campaign against ND and in particular Finn Hudson. Shelby asked Rachel and Quinn to stay behind, so Santana and Brittany agreed to call round later on where they would take Beth to the park to play with the ducks. After they left, Shelby grabbed both Rachel and Quinn in a hug and broke down. This confused Rachel, why was her mother crying and why had she got both Quinn and herself in a bear hug. This question was answered a few minutes later when Shelby calmed herself down.
"Sorry about that, it's just upsetting for me Rachel that you are now engaged and I missed so much in your life. I just want you both to know that from now on, I will be here for both of you. I also here that I have a little granddaughter, is this correct Rachel?" Shelby finished with a smile.
Rachel grabbed her mum and Quinn in a hug and smiled when they broke apart, she told her mum she was correct and that she would be delighted if she would come and meet Quinn and her daughter. She also eased her mother's fears with regards to her father's telling her that they would like to see her as well. So after making sure the Auditorium was empty, Shelby locked it up and told the girls she would meet them at their home. Rachel and Quinn left soon after and after making sure that they called at the local convenience store to pick up their cigarettes, they heading home for their meeting with Shelby and Rachel's dads.
Upon their arrival, Quinn and Rachel's legs were attacked by a baby limpet that giggled and laughed happily knowing that both her mothers were home with her at last. Quinn bent down to pick her up and was greeted by a big sloppy kiss on her lips, she then gave Beth to Rachel who got the same treatment from her daughter. The trio then made their way into the kitchen where Rachel placed Beth in her high chair and gave her father's a hug then informing them that Shelby was on her way over.
Shelby arrived a half hour later and was immediately shown into the living room, where she was greeted with a hug from Hiram and Leroy Berry, she then hugged both her daughter and Quinn before being introduced to Beth. Beth upon seeing the new person looked towards her Momma and Mummy for guidance and upon seeing them smile, she smiled as well. She then held her arms up and allowed Shelby to pick her up and give her a hug.
After hugging Beth, Shelby made her way to the kitchen where she informed the male Berry's of her new job and how she was proud of what Rachel had done, and how she would support her with whatever she did in the future. She then was asked by Rachel where she was staying, she replied that she was staying at a local motel, when she said that Hiram informed her that she was Rachel's mother, so she would be staying in their guest bedroom. She was shocked when she asked them where Quinn slept if she was staying in the guest bedroom and was told she slept with Rachel. Santana and Brittany arrived soon after that and Rachel, Quinn and Beth left with them to feed the ducks at the local park therefore allowing the adults to finalise the living arrangements for Shelby.
Upon their arrival at the park while Britt took Beth to feed the ducks, Santana informed Rachel and Quinn that she had received a challenge from Finn and the rest of ND challenging their new group to a game of dodge ball. This made Quinn and Rachel to break out in peals of laughter and when they told Santana, she too broke out laughing. They were laughing because what ND didn't know was that Rachel was the Ohio state dodge ball champion and that meant they were going to be in a world of pain when she finished with them. They both asked her to keep it a secret because they want to see the ND's beg for mercy when they destroy them and want it to be a sweet victory for Quinn when she finally shows Finn who is the boss.
The fivesome left the park a few hours later and made it back to the Berry household in time for dinner, which Santana and Brittany stayed for. Over dinner they informed Shelby and Rachel's dad's about the dodge ball request they had received and how they were going to use this as the first in a long line of things that would embarrass ND. Shelby backed the idea whole-heartedly because it meant the first victory at McKinley over Will and that made her all warm inside.
Due to the time dinner finished, and the fact that it was dark outside, Santana and Brittany stayed over and set up their bed in Rachel and Quinn's room. They used this on-the spot sleepover for two reasons, one so that Brittany could put Beth to bed because Brittany loved to sing for Beth and Beth loved Brittany's singing, and two so that they can plan out their strategy for the dodge ball war that would descend on McKinley high school the following day.
A/N: Another one done. No Finn bashing in this one, but stay tuned for the next chapter when there will be.
