Jesse POV
As I made my way out of Rachel's apartment later that night after tucking Rachel into bed making sure she and Caroline were okay my head was swimming. I still couldn't quite believe I had finally found her. Of course everyone had though she would go to New York. She was Rachel Berry after all. But never in a million years would on think I would find her in a café taking orders to get food on the table for her little girl. Though it did make sense. Rachel would never want everyone to know she had become yet another statistic to Lima Ohio. Even though she wasn't making much of a life for herself she still needed to get out of there and I understood that completely. It was such a stupid move though..
Walking into my apartment I let out a soft sigh. It was very late. I knew Rachel got up early for work so I was planning to get up even early to ensure that she did in fact quit her job. I wasn't about to let Rachel stay in the shithole apartment with a baby. They would be moved in with me as quickly as possible. Last night after telling Rachel this she didn't seem to object. Although I really never gave her much of a choice, but that was a just detail.
I pulled out my lap top logging onto my email. Rachel would kill me for this but I just didn't care. I had to let her dads know she was okay and that I had found her. I had to fill them in. They would call me when they got the message and I would explain everything. I could be that simple if they let it.
Sitting on the couch I pulled up a new email doc and quickly typed out a message.
Dear Hiram and LeRoy Berry,
This is Jesse St. James. If your memory doesn't serve you I dated Rachel a few years back. Although I am pretty positive you will know who I am I just felt the next to address myself. Anyways, I have found Rachel. She is in fact in New York. Now please don't come rushing out here to her. That is the last thing that should be happening. She is doing quit fine to be honest. I know you will be calling me as soon as you get this but I can insure you your little girl is okay. I will do everything I can to take care of her as long as she lets me.
Talk to you both soon
Jx
After sending out that message I sighed softly to myself getting up making my way to the bedroom pulling my shirt off over my head. Looking at the clock I saw I would probably get about 4 hours of sleep. It was worth it though. She was worth it.
Waking up the next morning it was still dark out and I stifled a groan pulling myself from my warm cocoon. I stumbled my way into the bathroom with my eyed half closed and turned on the shower. Stripping of my clothes I got in and sighed in contentment at the hot water rushed over my body. Remembering the task on hand I quickly got my shower and got out getting dressed quickly. Moving to the kitchen I make a cup of coffee while getting my phone off the charger throwing it in my pocket while shrugging my coat on. I gulped down the coffee and out the door I went to Rachels.
I chose to take a cab simply because there was no point in driving in New York. Sure I had a car for those special occasions like a week end trip to the Hamptons. Oh Rachel would love that. Maybe we can go the next nice week end. I can't imagine she's been unless she went with her dads some time.
Arriving at Rachel's I saw that there was lights on in her apartment. Good, I seemed to have made to in time.
Walking up to her door I could hear the quiet buzz of the TV. I let myself in knowing she honestly wouldn't mind. Or at least I hope she wouldn't. Well there was no going back now. I was in her house. Wait, didn't see lock her door? Careless girl…good thing she would be living with me soon. There was no way I would let her stay in the scum building let alone this building and not locking her door.
I didn't see her anywhere so I simply listened for her and heard the shower running. Ah ha! Found her. I wasn't about to going into the bathroom with her though, at least not yet. So I made my way to the kitchen. Looking around I saw the coffee pot was empty so I went in search of the coffee. After finding it I quickly made a pot. Sitting at the table I looked around the small apartment. She did her best to keep it looking good, but it looked like the place was falling apart. Truthfully I was debating on starting to pack her stuff for her right now.
When Rachel finally made her way out and into the kitchen she looked at me oddly and I just smiled at her. God, she is adorable.
" Jess…" She said slowly while I just sat waiting for her to continue. "What are you doing in my apartment?"
" Well first off you should thank god it's me and not some on else. Are you freaking crazy? You left your front door unlocked you mad woman! Second off I came to make sure you didn't go to work today. I told you , you were quitting and that is that. "
I looked up at her expecting a classic Rachel Berry blow up, but was delightfully surprised to find her laughing and sitting on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her waist so she wouldn't fall and she smiles brightly at me.
"Always looking out for the ladies are we St. James?" A Chuckles falls from my lips as I kiss her cheek
"Only you Rachel. Only you. "
When she smiled and laid her head on my shoulder I held her closer to me. This was go enough for now. Having the love of my life curled up on my lap. What else could I want?
