Hi Again! As promised, I am uploading two chapters tonight as a thank you for all of the reviews I got last chapter. One last reminder to PLEASE REVIEW! Alright, on with the second chapter of the night!

The hug commenced and the feeling in the room was instantly much more uncomfortable. Once the initial shock of the announcement wore off, the two men seemed to realize the full meaning of Rachel's statement. Leroy was the first to realize the absence of one important person.

"Jesse's the daddy?" He asked looking at his baby then back to Quinn. Rachel face had tensed, relaxing only when Quinn gently stroked her arm.

"It doesn't matter. He left. End of story." Quinn answered for her. Hiram and Leroy showed flashes of anger at someone abandoning their little girl but seeing Quinn so protective of Rachel they could not help but wonder if this was all for the best. However, Hiram realizing this was a sensitive topic, brought up another question.

"Have you been to the doctor yet?" Rachel nodded.

"Yes, once, Quinn took me. Just to confirm it thought, Quinn said I didn't need to go until another month, since I'm only two months along?" Rachel's father, Leroy, was a doctor and it was to him that she posed the question.

"That's correct." He smiled at Quinn who smiled back. As soon as Quinn realized that none of the Berry's were at all upset with her in any way but instead were embracing her fully, she became much more confident.

"Rachel's handling this much better than I did." She said smiling adoringly at her. Rachel smiled back, her eyes full of a special type of puppy love that is both sweet and long lasting.

"Well I'm glad Rachel has you, Quinn." Hiram noted, making Quinn blush.

"I'm glad I have Rachel."

Later that night Quinn and Rachel were lying next to each other in bed. Beth had been fed (a thoroughly awkward experience as Rachel was there and unsuccessfully trying not to watch) and put into cute pyjamas with little ducks that Rachel confirmed Quinn's prediction were in fact a present from Aunt Brittany and Aunt Santana, the highlight of the bed time experience. Picking Beth's clothes out was fun to say the least and consisted of Rachel and Quinn spending thirty minutes looking for the perfect outfit and getting tiny little baby Beth into it as she squirmed. While the kicking wasn't to fun, the baby was so adorable they enjoyed the moment quite a lot. Hiram had set up a baby monitor in the nursery that led to Rachel's room and Leroy had gone over all of the baby's first night tips that he had. Finally both girls were in bed and exhausted.

"Quinn?" Rachel whispered as she nudged the other girl, checking if she was already asleep.

"Hmm?" Quinn made a sound, indicating to Rachel that it was okay to sit up and start spewing words.

"Is this going to fast for you? I mean I want this and I just couldn't stand it if I mess it up because I love it so much and I just need to know if you think this is going to fast and-" Rachel fell into her farmiliar pattern of rambling and Quinn knew what to do.

"Rachel" Quinn interrupted, "This is not going to fast for me. I love this so much and I want it just as bad. It's not just you. But is this going to fast for you?"

"Not at all." Rachel kissed Quinn's cheek and she lay back down. Quickly both girls fell asleep, cuddling really close with Rachel curled up into Quinn body and Quinn with a possessive arm around Rachel's middle. In two hours they would both be woken up by Beth's cries, but neither one minded when they got to calm her down together.

Sunday came and went in a flurry of baby... Baby feeding, baby diaper changes, baby clothes changes, and most of all baby crying. They loved it. Beth was a beautiful and very sweet baby in general… not too loud and as Hiram remarked, much quieter than Rachel who had even been a loud baby which was a pleasant surprise for the Berry men. Quinn was happy to finally be a mother and Rachel was happy to be getting some practice for when she was one too.

Monday came too quickly for all in question. Figgins had given Quinn two weeks to get Beth situated as long as Rachel brought home all of her homework, after Hiram and Leroy had a very long meeting in which the men both described the unique situation but also, in their words, persuaded Figgin. Rachel was 99% they blackmailed him. But while Quinn was at home, the brunette had to go to school. And that's what Rachel was doing at 6:15 on Monday, getting ready for school. She hopped on her elliptical (Her dads had promised that exercise was good for the pregnancy and still safe) and was walking off at 6:30 when she heard Beth's cries. She rushed into the nursery and found that Quinn was not there. She must have slept through the sobs, understandable, as she was a new mom.

"Shhh… honey, Shhh…." She rocked the baby in her arms knowing she couldn't give the hungry little girl what she needed. "Shhh Bethie its okay. I'm here." Beth looked up at her with those beautiful hazel eyes and Rachel could have sworn she stopped crying for a split second. After five minutes Rachel couldn't stand it any longer. After checking her diaper for the third time she carried her to her mother. "Quinn?" Quinn looked up groggy eyed and smiled when she saw her daughter.

"Hi Baby!" She noticed how Beth's faced was screwed up with tears and how sad the little girl was, "Aww what's wrong, Baby?" Quinn asked.

"I think she's hungry." Rachel said and Quinn nodded. "I can go if you want…"

"No! I mean no. It's fine. I don't want to kick you out of your own room."

"Our room and okay." Rachel said with a little chuckle. All weekend Rachel had been trying to convince Quinn not to call their room 'Rachel's room'. Quinn pulled off her shirt and allowed Beth to have her milk. Rachel tried not to watch but she couldn't. She was embarrassed and clearly so was Quinn but she tried not to show it. So she did other things. She picked out an outfit and changed in the bathroom and she started cleaning the room.

When Beth was done Quinn tried to help Rachel make the bed but she refused the help.

"Quinn, you hold the baby. I'll get the bed." Rachel finished her morning routine and joined Quinn and Beth for breakfast. After breakfast Rachel was reluctant to leave. While in general high school for a loser at the bottom of the food chain is not a pleasant experience, Rachel was pretty sure this day was going to be even worse than usual.

"Quinn you have to text me if there is any problem or anything and if she does anything cute…" Quinn broke her off with a kiss, the only way that Quinn knew how to shut her up.

"I know Rach. You told me. Have fun." Rachel nodded and left, nervous for what the school day was going to bring. She was sure that somehow by this time everyone knew that Quinn Fabray was living with Rachel Berry with her daughter Beth. Some people knew that they were together. She was practically begging people to slushy her. And that they did. Three times. And they talked about her, a lot. All day they did and Rachel just had to deal with it. It all started at third period. It was as if one event allowed everyone to be worse and meaner.

First period went fine despite having to rush out mid class to puke without Quinn there and having to return and lie to the teacher saying she was allergic to the milk she had drunk that morning. Like she would drink milk, that clogs up your vocal cords.

Second period went well asides from Quinn calling in the middle about not being able to work Beth's crib and Rachel having to sneak out of class and explain it to her.

Third period was Glee Club. Rachel, as usual, was the first of the glee club in the choir room but for once she was not the only one there. Dave Karofsky stood in the center of the room holding a slushy.

"Heard you got a new girlfriend, Dyke"

"I did." Rachel had learned years ago that showing weakness never helped. Quick short responses were the best.

"Well I got you a present. Congrats." He threw the artificially colored slushy right in her face. The tiny ice crystals ran down her face and into her blouse. It stung. It burned her eyes and she felt blinded. She tried to stop the tears but the mixture of corn syrup and pregnancy hormones wouldn't allow it. She felt Karofsky leave. She stood there and cried and cried and cried, wishing more than anything that Quinn was there.

Brittany found Rachel standing in the middle of the choir room drenched with blue raspberry slushy.

"Rachel?" Rachel didn't even look up. She was ashamed and humiliated and didn't need anyone to see her cry about a slushy. The last time she cried about a slushy it was because it was homecoming. "Rachel… are you okay?" No response. "Rachel?"

"Yes, Brittany I'm fine." She snapped as she turned on her heel and walked out of the room and to the bathroom.

Brittany was shocked. Rachel, while annoying, wasn't usually mean to her. Her hurt was clearly reflected on her face. Santana walked in and saw Brittany.

"Britt! What's wrong?" Brittany pouted and Santana hugged her in a-too-close-for-just-friends way.

Rachel pulled out her phone and slid it unlocked. Stopping for a minute on her new home screen of little Beth, she dialed the home number.

"Berry Residence." Hiram's, her stay at home dad, voice monotoned from the other side of the phone.

"Daddy? It's me. Can I talk to Quinn."

"Rach! Why are you calling during school?" In a voice that was a clear failure of being strict.

"Please let me just talk to Quinn."

"Okay, Honey."

"Thanks." The line went silent for a second as Hiram went to find Quinn. She was probably in the nursery, Rachel thought.

"Rachel?"

"Quinn!"

"What's up Rach?"

"I just got slushied."

"Oh Rachel! I'm sorry."

"I just... I needed to talk to you."

"Of course. You can always call me. Don't forget. You're my star."

"I like when you call me that." Rachel said as a small blossomed across her face.

"Then I'll call you that everyday. I got to go my star, Beth is crying."

"Okay, I'll talk to you when I get home."

"Bye my star."

"Bye"

Rachel trudged back to glee. She missed Quinn, she missed Beth and it had only been a couple of hours. Mr. Schue took a look at Rachel's outfit, for the first time in a while, Rachel had forgotten a change of clothes so was stuck in the blue-stained clothes for the remainder of the day.

"Rachel. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Mr. Schue. May I please say something?" Mr. Schue nodded, he was used to Rachel requesting time to make a speech.

"First I need to apologize to Brittany." She smiled at the blonde girl who smiled back. "Next I need to tell everyone that yes, Quinn has moved into my house. We could really use your support if you are able to give it." With that she sat down and barely listened to the rest of glee.

She was upset. Very much so. She knew some of this was hormones but not all. She was fed up. So she was gay. It wasn't okay for people to slushy her. It wasn't and it had to stop. Now. Or else... well she wasn't sure what else but she knew that there was an at else.

Rachel was in a bad mood from the moment she got home. As the door slammed behind her, Hiram cautioned Quinn to be careful of the wrath of Rachel Berry.

"Hi, My Star." Quinn said kissing Rachel's cheek and raised Beth so Rachel could kiss Beth, which she did.

"Hey." Rachel said with a small smile on her face which only appeared when she saw the baby.

"Bad day at school?"

"Yeah." She handed Quinn her homework and went up to her room to do her own homework as Quinn put Beth down for a nap so she could do her own.

All night Quinn tried to talk to Rachel but Rachel kept shutting her out. However frustrating it was to be ignored she remember where she had been just seven months ago and felt lucky Rachel wasn't slushying her. They ate dinner in near silence. Well Quinn and Rachel's dads ate. Rachel kept saying she wasn't hungry.

"Rachel. I know you're really nauseous but you have to eat." Quinn prodded her with her elbow. Rachel glared at her. How dare Quinn know exactly how she felt without her having to say it?

"Really Princess you have to eat." Rachel glared at him too. Quinn remembered the words that either Santana or Brittany had said that would always make her eat.

"Rachel, you have to eat for the baby." Grudgingly, Rachel picked up a fork and ate some salad.

Quinn and Rachel both went straight to Beth's room after dinner.

"If you want to chill in your room, I can put Beth to bed by myself." Quinn offered

"No I want to help you." They put Beth to bed. They fumbled a bit with her clothes but eventually the little baby was all ready for bed. Quinn and Rachel went back to their room to finish homework. It was near ten when they did and Quinn had had to go check on Beth twice and Rachel had offered to go once so in all Beth had needed them three times. Rachel changed in the bathroom while Quinn changed in the room. Quinn had told Rachel she didn't mind Rachel seeing her change but Rachel had replied saying that she was tired and didn't want to be turned on by Quinn's hot body. Quinn actually couldn't tell if she was joking. By eleven both girls were lying side by side in Rachel's bed.

"Rach?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"What?"

"Don't Rach. You know what I mean."

"No. I don't want to talk about."

"I think you should, Rach. And I want to be here for you."

"I'm just so mad. So what I like girls? Why do they care? It's just so frustrating!"

"I know, My Star. It sucks and I'm sorry they're so mean. But we can protect each other."

"I'd like that. You're like my Angel."

"I like it when you call me that."

"Then I'll call you that everyday."

Quinn scotched over closer to Rachel and pressed her body against Rachel's. Slowly they fell into more relaxed states, Rachel's arms around Quinn, Quinn curled up next Rachel. They were almost asleep when Rachel added one more thing.

"Quinn?"

"Yeah Rach?"

"Beth's dress was on wrong today. The lace-y part is supposed to go in the front." Both girls laughed a little until they fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
