So the whole blood thing might seem a little far fetched, but just go with it. It's fiction so you know.
Jesse takes in a deep breath. He's standing outside of Rachel's door; the last time he was standing like this he left the house full of anger and it felt like it had been days since he last saw Rachel, even though it was less than 24 hours. Jesse knows that it's thoughts like that, that make him almost a big a drama queen as Rachel.
He lifts his hand and knocks on the door. He hopes that she's home because he really doesn't want to be waiting on her porch like a crazy stalker. He knocks again and this time the door swings open.
Rachel is standing with her purse in one hand and car keys in the other. She brings her bottom lip under her teeth before dropping everything and throwing herself into Jesse's arms. Immediately Jesse locks his arms around Rachel, holding her to him almost as tightly as she is holding him. He steps back a little and tilts her head up to capture her lips in a soft kiss.
When the pair pulls apart, Rachel practically pulls Jesse into the house. He stops to pick up her bag and keys and Rachel closes the door, however they both maintain a point of contact with one another.
"Going some where?" He asks as he drops the keys into her bag.
"I was going to drive over to your house to talk."
"How would know I would be there?"
"Because I know you wouldn't have wanted to be at your uncle's place. Even though you hate the silence of your house, it's preferable than noise when you are upset."
Jesse nods and drops a kiss to Rachel's hair as she leads him up to her room.
Once in the yellow warmth of her room Jesse sets her purse down on her desk and turns to lean on it. Rachel perches at the end of the bed and immediately starts to speak.
"I first want to say that I am sorry for the fight. Even though I know that I really shouldn't be that sorry because you did deceive me. And with my tendency for dramatics there was no other alternative outcome for me finding out the truth. It was inevitable that a fight would follow." Rachel says and Jesse nods, he's about to apologize again when Rachel starts up again. "But I do realize how I could have been more mature and handled things a little bit better, especially when I questioned your motives behind you being at the music store. And then making no move to follow you after you admitted that Mr. Schue is…"
Rachel can't finish the thought; she still can't process the fact that her 34 year old Spanish teacher was the biological father of her boyfriend.
"Rach you shouldn't even have to apologize. I am the one at fault here. I should have been honest with you from the start, but I was scared. Scared to lose my scholarship, the chance at having a relationship with my father and I was really scared to lose whatever had started between us." Jesse gives Rachel a smile at this. "So I agreed to the plan, but I realized quickly that I didn't want that guilt hanging over me, so I sent the fake emails. But I was in too deep though to find anyway of getting out from under Shelby's control. It wasn't until I got the acceptance to NYU that I saw a glimmer of hope of getting out and I was going to tell you the truth, but you found out and before I could tell you and that changed things. I hope you looked through the emails and saw that I never betrayed the team. I couldn't."
"I saw the emails. Thank you." Rachel whispers. "And thank you for coming back. I was so worried that you were going to abandon me and return to Carmel. That the last two and half months were nothing but lies, it was as if the team's early distrust of you had invaded me and I had no way to know the truth. Those thoughts plagued me and all day. And every time the thought of not seeing your face it was as if there was a clenching in my chest. So after a talk with a friend they made me realize that you wouldn't do that and that if I was thinking those things I should talk to you."
Jesse knew that, that friend was most likely Finn and while it made him a little jealous that the boy Rachel used to like was talking to her about emotional things; he knew that Finn was just trying to help.
"I wouldn't abandon you Rachel. Though the initial plan to transfer to McKinley was to spy and then transfer back to Carmel I'm not going to be doing that anymore. I'm staying."
"Really?"
Jesse nods. "Remember what I said the day I joined New Directions?"
"That when you love something you have to go for it?" Rachel asks, not completely remembering.
"Yeah, but when I said that it was just something I had heard once but never really grasped the meaning, But now I know what those words mean and I want to go for it Rachel because I'm falling in love with you."
"You're falling in love with me?" Rachel asks with a childlike quality to her voice.
"Yeah I am and I-"
Jesse can't finish his sentence as Rachel bounds off the bed and crashes her lips against his. Her lips are insistent and her fingers fist his hair pulling him more into the kiss. Jesse is momentarily stunned by Rachel by regains control and teases her lips open with his tongue. Rachel gives a little hum as Jesse's tongue drags along the roof of her mouth and Jesse can feel the tightening of his jeans. Rachel has never been so ready for anything in her life. She grinds her hips against Jesse's as she breaks the kiss and looks into his eyes.
"I'm ready, for real this time. Because I'm falling in love with you too." Rachel tells Jesse and the smile on his face is pure happiness.
Not because he is finally going to be getting sex, the two of them had gotten each other off so often after that first time that the pleasure of the act wasn't what thrilled him. It is the fact that it's Rachel and it's with someone he is falling in love with.
Jesse turns with Rachel in his arms and sits at the end of her bed. He brings her in for another kiss before working his hands under her sweater and pulling both it and her tank top off. He brings Rachel closer and drops a kiss between her breasts as he reaches behind her to undo her bra. As is drops away from her body Jesse drags his lips over to one pebbled nipple as his hand palms the other. Rachel arches her back into the familiar sensation of Jesse's mouth on her bare chest. His hand leaves her breast and finds the zipper at the back of her skirt, he pulls it open and the skirt drops from Rachel's hips. She kicks it away as Jesse smoothes his fingers along the top of her panties.
Rachel is grasping at the back of Jesse's shirt bunching it up by his shoulders. He pulls away from her chest and she let's out a sounds of disappointment, but with this she is able to pull off Jesse's shirt and then push him back onto the bed. She trails her lips down his throat as her hands work open Jesse's fly. She pushes herself up so Jesse can work his pants and boxers off, but she lowers her head to lick his collar bone. She can feel how hard he is against her bare thigh, she shifts her leg, creating friction and Jesse lets out a sound between a moan and a groan.
Jesse pulls Rachel in for another kiss, this time their tongues battle for dominance. Jesse soon flips them. He looks into Rachel's eyes to see if there is a hint of a sign telling him to stop, there isn't. He reaches to her night table and pulls out the condoms he knows she has hidden there. He rolls it on as Rachel watches. He leans in pressing kisses along the column of her throat as his hands make quick work of pulling off her underwear. He settles himself between her legs and pulls Rachel's legs up around his waist.
She knows this will hurt a little, but only for a moment. She takes a deep breath and looks into Jesse's blue eyes. All she sees there is love and she nods for him to go ahead. Jesse lowers his lips to hers and thrusts in quickly. They gasp against each others lips, Jesse out of pleasure and Rachel from the jolt of pain. Jesse is still for another moment, letting her get used to him inside her. He drops another kiss before slowly pulling out and thrusting back in.
It's torture for Jesse to keep the slow pace, but he does until he starts to hear moans of pleasure escaping Rachel's lips. He picks up the pace and the sounds he draws from her increase. Rachel can feel her orgasm coming, she whispers it in Jesse's ear and he slips his hand between them. It takes only a few more thrusts before Rachel is coming, with Jesse following moments after.
Jesse kisses Rachel's collar bone twice before slipping out of her. The sensation force a small moan in the back of Rachel's throat and Jesse smiles as he gets out of the bed to dispose of the condom and put his boxers back on, before sinking back onto the bed leaning against her headboard. Rachel pulls on her panties and his t-shirt before leaning back against Jesse. She twines her fingers with his and rests them on his abs.
The pair looks at one another, but say nothing. It's a first for either of them, but they both know that no words are needed. Rachel drops a kiss to Jesse's chest then snuggles against him, closing her eyes. Her emotional day, lack of sleep and sated body force Rachel to fall asleep, no matter how hard she struggles to stay awake. Jesse watches her for a moment, and though he does want to talk he can't help but follow her into sleep.
Rachel wakes hours later. Her arm thrown across Jesse's chest, her leg wrapped around his. She looks up at his face; it's smooth and calm, peaceful as if everything that had weighed him down had been lifted. There is though around his eyes a look of sadness and Rachel wonders if that has to do with Mr. Schuester being his father.
She senses Jesse stirring, but she doesn't want him to wake up yet. So she gently pulls herself apart from him. As she stands she feels a slight twinge between her legs. The muscles aren't sore, years of dance made sure she was limber; it's almost a sense memory of being filled by Jesse. She creeps quietly out of the room and down to the kitchen. She's starving and she knows that Jesse must be as well.
She pulls out chickpea salad, knowing the protein will be good for them in case they decide to exert a little more energy. Cuts a few slices of French bread, a few slices of cheddar, cuts up two apples and places them on a serving plate. She looks at the food and thinks that it will be filling. She pulls two bottles of water from the fridge and makes her way back up stairs.
Jesse is still asleep when she walks in the room. She puts down the plate and the water on her desk before going over to Jesse and placing kisses by his ear.
"Wake up," she sing-songs and receives whiny moan in return. "Wake up; I brought us something to eat."
She kisses him a few more times before he tilts his head and captures her lips. Rachel laughs into the kiss.
"Food? Good I'm starving." Jesse says rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and sitting up as Rachel brings over the tray.
The pair eats their food, while stealing kisses and soft touches. Jesse stands to put the empty tray back on the desk and Rachel watches him, admiring his body. Jesse turns to face Rachel and she can't control her self, she pulls the tshirt she is wearing off, leaving her naked. Jesse smiles before rushing to the bed. The pair goes for another round that night.
*Glee**Glee**Glee**Glee**Glee**Glee**Glee**Glee*
Saturday both teens wake up late, but they both get out of bed. The day is lazy, but both find time to practice a little singing and because both missed their routine early morning workout regiment they took a walk around Rachel's neighbourhood; and then made up the cardio when they had sex on Rachel's couch as How I Met Your Mother played on TV.
The rest of the day Jesse and Rachel work on their Glee project. They disagree over duets, throwing away Phantom, Rent, Wicked, Spring Awakening and a whole host of other Broadway musical duets, but not before performing parts of them just to re-enact the love. Jesse then pulls out Rachel's Les Miz music book and flips to A Little Fall of Rain.
"Let's see if we can bring the club to tears," he says. "They probably expect some great love duet, but this will really show to them how good we are."
"Perfect." Rachel responds, before placing a kiss on Jesse's lips and dramatically falling to the floor as if she's been shot.
Jesse chuckles before joining her on the floor. They practice the song and each time they get better. Fixing their 'staging' and the emotion in their voice, they want their performance to be perfect.
Just after three Jesse goes back to his uncle's to shower and grab some clean clothes. He promises Rachel he will be back later in the evening, he just needs to spend some time with his cousins and tell them the news about NYU. Rachel in that time texts Quinn and tells her that if she wants help on the song she can come over. Rachel doesn't know why she did that, but she was feeling too good to worry about whatever past feuds she had with the pregnant cheerleader.
Quinn is just about ready to leave after a few hours of practicing Roxie, when both girls hear a voice calling out for Rachel. Quinn raises an eyebrow to the Rachel and sets a smirk on her face as Jesse walks into Rachel's bedroom.
"Uh hi Quinn." Jesse says, confused at her presence.
"Hello Jesse, so feeling better?"
"Huh?"
"Well that's why you weren't at school on Friday. Rachel said you weren't feeling good."
"Yup, that's right. But I'm feeling a lot better now." He says before looking over at Rachel, practically fucking her with his eyes.
Quinn turns her head at the look and smirks into her shoulder. She noticed there was something a little bit different with Rachel and now she knows what it is; Rachel Berry was no longer a virgin.
"Well I have to get going. Thanks for helping with the song Rachel." Quinn says, "I'll see you both on Monday."
"Bye Quinn." Jesse says as Rachel leaves to walk Quinn to the door.
When Rachel comes back upstairs she finds Jesse lounging on her bed and she crawls in beside him. His hand traces nonsense shapes along her arm and Rachel shivers at the feeling. She wants to lean up and kiss him, but she fights the feeling and stays put with her head cushioned on his chest. She knows that they have to talk about the last things their fight brought up, Jesse's paternity.
"I know you want to ask, just do it." He whispers.
Rachel cranes her head to look at Jesse. "How did you find out that Mr. Schuester was your biological father? How did you find out you were adopted?"
"Well I figured out that I was adopted when I was younger. I had read something about genetic traits and I figured out that my parents weren't biologically related to me. So once I knew that I asked them and they told me."
"They just came out and told you, your father was Mr. Schuester?"
"No," Jesse says with a bit of a chuckle. "They told me that yes I was adopted and my mom told me what she knew a little about my birth mother, but not my father. So then it was up to me to find out as much as I could."
Jesse tells Rachel how he found out the name of his birth mother and how when he went looking for information about her he had discovered that she had been killed in a car accident. Rachel gasps at that bit of information, but Jesse soothes her worries over his feelings by telling her that he had come to terms with never meeting her. He then tells Rachel about all the work he had done to find out about his biological father. He says that finding his biological father was a lot of work and a lot of Shelby's old show choir connections. He intertwines the facts of the story with the emotions that he went through.
"The big break on find him was through a former Vocal Adrenaline member, who was my bio-mom's best friend on the team. He told me about the 1992 regional's where McKinley performed against VA. Neither team had won, so both decided that they would party together. Well my bio-mom and Will got a little drunk and apparently slept together. From what I this guy told me it was a drunken mistake and a little bit of a rebound fuck. Apparently my bio-mom had just broken up with her boyfriend and Will was apparently on a break from his girlfriend and things just happened." Jesse pauses before continuing. "My bio-mom never saw Will after that night apparently and didn't want to, so she never told him that she had gotten pregnant, so Will Schuester doesn't know that he has a soon to be 18 year old son. After I found that out I wasn't so angry at him any more. I realized that he was a kid, who made a drunken mistake one night and we both know how that turns out." He finishes and both think about Quinn. "So that's pretty much everything on how I found out and how I felt about it."
"Jesse I – wow, I don't think I could ever be that brave. I mean you went looking for people who you didn't know anything about, who could have been horrible people but you still wanted to find out."
Jesse knows that with this comment Rachel is showing the vulnerability she feels at not knowing her mother.
"Rach you are brave and one day you might decide that you want to find you mom and when that happens you won't be scared. And if you never do don't be ashamed because you have two wonderful dads who love you more than anything."
Rachel leans up and kisses Jesse. "Just one question how do you know for sure Mr. Schuester is your father? I mean do you have any medical proof?"
"Well remember that day that Mr. Schuester cut himself?" Jesse asks and Rachel nods, "Well I kept one of the bloody tissues and sent it in to this firm that checks blood. They sent back the information a couple weeks ago, confirming that he was in fact my father."
"Ok first that is a little bit disgusting, and second at least you have proof now." Rachel says, before pausing and asking the inevitable, "Are you going to tell him?"
"I want to and I will. I just haven't found the right time and I can't just blurt it out, so I have to find a time when I can just talk to Mr. Schue and let him know what I know."
"Ok. Well when that day comes I want you to know that I will stand by you, no matter what happens."
"Thank you." Jesse says, pulling Rachel up to give her a soft kiss.
