Sorry...this is short and late. All I can say is I'm going to try to post something significantly longer next...it's been a rough one...
I own mistakes, not glee...
Enjoy!
"See," Quinn pointed at a circled portion of the grainy black and white photograph, "that's Liam and that's" She pointed to another area of the photo, "Abram and that's little question mark." Quinn gushed showing Brittany, Santana and Katie the pictures from Rachel's ultrasound.
"Question mark? What kind of name is that, Q?" Katie piped up from where she was seated.
"The kind of name when you don't know what you're having." Santana answered.
"Of course Rachel's having a baby, duh, Sanny." Brittany intoned nudging her girlfriend in the side.
"Three babies." Quinn corrected giggling.
"I know, I mean she doesn't know the sex..."
"Babies are too young for sex..."
"Urgh! I mean she doesn't know if it's a boy or a girl, Britts."
"Or a cyborg!"
"We're not doing this again, Kat, she's not having any cyborg babies." Quinn sighed shaking her head.
"Could be…" Katie grumbled and the other three women ignored her.
"So, look at you, Q, acting like the proud papa." Santana said with a bark of laughter.
"So…"
"So, I mean what does it mean? Are we like entering co-parenting land here? Are those wedding bells I hear?"
"Only if they're yours…we've only been dating a few months I don't want to move any faster that we already are," Quinn shrugged, "but to be with Rachel is to be with her kids and I—I just want to be with Rachel and I'm actually kind of growing excited about the kids."
"Sap." Santana groaned and Brittany hit her lightly on the arm.
"When are you guys gonna get married?" Katie asked leaning forward.
"Yeah San?" Quinn quipped when she noticed how red her friend's face had turned.
"When we're ready…"
"Who's not ready? Cuz B already knows the ring she wants, right B?" The younger Pierce turned her blue eyes on her sister for confirmation.
"Kat! That was suppose to be a secret, you're a bad as Lord Tubbington, always telling people my secrets!"
"Wait you've looked at rings? I thought we agreed that we were going to wait…"
"Wait? Until…what? When?" Brittany huffed crossing her arms.
"Until we're ready…"
"You mean until, you're ready. Whatever, I don't think we should talk about this anymore it just makes me sad." The blonde frowned glancing into her lap.
"Um…yeah…I'm…I'm going to go to the café and…uh…yeah…you should come too, Kat…" Quinn rose grabbed the younger woman's arm and basically drug her from the tension filled apartment.
Rinoa pushed Artie's chair around the curving sidewalk of Central Park. It was a beautiful crisp fall day and they had spent it outdoors enjoying it. She knew the man in front of her could propel himself, but she liked doing it for him occasionally, somehow it made her feel closer to him in a weird way.
"So, I think I should tell you something, Rin…"Artie spoke up and she thought she maybe knew what he wanted to discuss.
"Ok, go on…"
"It's about Rachel…"
"You're the father of her babies?" She saved him the trouble of stumbling through what was sure to be an awkward confession.
"How did you...? Yes…" He turned his head to glance back at her and she smiled down at him.
"I mean who else could it have been? It's Rach for Godsake she's not gonna get some stranger to father her kid…kids…you're the most likely candidate."
"How…how does it make you feel?"
"Should I feel some type of way about all this?" She arched a fine eyebrow.
"I dunno…I mean, not if you don't want to…?" Brows scrunched over blue eyes.
Rinoa chuckled lightly as they continued their stroll. She trailed her fingers through his brown hair easily and hummed the melody of a song she was working on.
"You know, if you're going to ask me to be your girlfriend there are easier ways then thinking so hard that your head explodes. I mean what's the worst that could happen, I say no?" She smirked.
"Well, yeah…" He mumbled.
She stopped pushing him and bent down to whisper in his ear. "Right now you're so delightfully clueless…."
Artie's face started to heat up. He opened and closed his mouth a few times. She kissed him lightly on the cheek and then straightened and resumed her pushing.
Rachel leaned back in her office chair and rubbed her rounded belly. She smiled widely and popped a piece of vegan peanut butter slattered celery into her mouth. She had spent almost half the work day thinking about her children or touching her stomach in some way. She knew that she had work to get done that she was suppose to be working on the lyrics that Rinoa had dropped off last night before she'd left for a movie with Artie, but she couldn't seem to concentrate or care. She'd felt a slight stirring in her stomach on the taxi ride to work and she'd been working all day to try and feel it again, but the kids were already conspiring against her. She smirked and shook her head slightly at her thoughts.
"Liam, Abram, and Baby3 who I kinda hope is a girl can you just go easy on your Mom here? I'm scared…I was scared when it was just one of you, but three is…whew…I…I love you, tremendously…." Her smiled wavered slightly, but then she felt a slight pushing on her right side followed by one on the left and then another that truthfully made her have to use the bathroom, but also made her smile strengthen and widen to fill her face.
It made me smile, hope it made you smile too :) even though it's not Faberry focused...
