Quinn wrapped an arm around Rachel's midsection and pulled the smaller woman more tightly against her. Rachel for her part was snoring loudly and had been for the last 3 hours. The smaller brunette was curled around her new buddy; The Pregnancy Pillow: an oblong, curved buckwheat stuffed pillow that supported the other woman's growing midsection, allowing her to sleep more comfortably. Quinn was lucky she'd managed to find a spot on the bed at all, Rachel and that damned pillow had gotten into the habit of taking over the entire bed on her worst nights.

She kissed the other woman softly on her shoulder and stroked her stomach. Rachel had gained a good bit of weight thus far, but the blonde still thought the music exec was gorgeous and now that she knew the woman was pregnant she could recognize the glow surrounding Rachel, she was still filled with trepidation, but she was also grateful she was privy to seeing it.

"Quinn...?" She barely recognized Rachel mumbling into her pillow.

"...your thinking is keeping me awake." The pregnant woman grumbled.

"You were just snoring and completely knocked out." Quinn grumbled back indignantly.

"Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't..."

"No, you definitely were."

"Whatever, go to sleep, baby...you have that catering meeting in the morning, remember..." Rachel ended with a stifled yawn.

Quinn wanted to sigh, she had been trying to forget about that meeting. She'd come to the conclusion that she should expand if she wanted to be an equal with Rachel. Sure, right now the Cafe was doing well, but all it would take is one horrible review and it could be all down hill from there.

A part of her knew that she was being irrational, but she didn't know how else to be, Rachel was pregnant, her Rachel, was pregnant. At the beginning of the year she'd only been thinking about getting her business off the ground and then about pouring money into fixing up the farmhouse. She'd only thought of Rachel longingly, as something that could, but probably never would happen. Now it was happening but there were all these obstacles that she hadn't counted on...okay, maybe just one obstacle, a baby? What the Fuck? It wasn't like Rachel was some withering starlet, she wasn't even thirty! How had she just given up on finding someone and starting a family with them? Not that she wanted Rachel to have settled down with anyone else, but she was gorgeous and smart, she could have had anyone...could have already taken this step with someone else...married that someone else and had kids. She didn't understand why Rachel would want to have a child alone.

"Rachel?" She whispered into the darkness.

"Mhmm?"

"Whatmadeyouwanttogetpregnant?" She rushed out anxiously.

"Hmm?" Rachel turned in her arms and looked at her with bleary eyed confusion.

"Why'd you decide to have a baby?"

"I already told you why."

"I know, it just...you're the total package, Rach, you could have started a family long ago...why didn't you?"

"You really want to have this conversation at 2am, Quinn?" Rachel grumbled sitting up and flicking on the light.

"I dunno...it was on my mind..." Quin shrugged also sitting up.

Rachel sighed. "At first, I just didn't care...I concentrated on my craft and then concentrated on the label. I dated a little, but I was frankly afraid of getting too serious with anyone...I accomplished everything I wanted to and more and then I don't know I never met anyone special enough to want to share my life with, but I still want-wanted to have kids. I did a little research..." Quinn coughed "...okay a lot of research, and decided that with or without a partner, I could do this, I wanted to do this. I want to raise a child."

Quinn stared at Rachel and although the woman had already told her the basics of why she'd wanted to get inseminated hearing her explain in detail with such passion lacing her voice made it infinitely more real for her. Rachel would have this child and raise him or her with or without her. It was up to her to insure that she proved that she deserved to be a part of both of their lives.

"Can we go to sleep now, for real?" Rachel's voice broke through her thoughts.

"Yeah, sorry I kept you up…" Quinn smiled planting a kiss on the brunette's temple.

"You should be, it's very important that I get my beauty rest." Rachel slunk back down and Quinn did as well. Rachel nestled into her front, allowing the taller woman to cradle her.

"Mmm…and her I was thinking you couldn't get more gorgeous…" Quinn whispered as Rachel flicked off the light.

"Sweet talker…go to sleep." Rachel grasped her hand and circled it around her growing stomach.

I can do this. Quinn thought tightening her hold on the smaller woman. I want to do this. She lightly kissed the base of Rachel's neck. I have to do this, it's my only chance...

Yes, it's short...yes I kno, I kno, I kno...I just wanted you all to get more of a glimpse inside Quinn's thoughts. Still hope you like...
