Hi All! I'm updating earlier than I was going to because I started writing the chapters that come after this and I'm getting pretty stuck. I've written like the next two-ish chapters but after that I'm looking for ideas. Please please send me ideas in reviews, I need them to write! Also- I feel like this chapter is a little over dramatic, hopefully it doesn't read that way! Other than my normal begging you to review, I don't have anything else to say, so on with this chapter.

Rachel turned over and checked the clock. Two in the freaking morning. Rachel was normally a morning bird, she was a strong believer in the saying the early bird gets the worm, but this was pushing it. But it wasn't like she really had a choice so she pushed herself up, careful not to wake Quinn, and walked into the nursery where Beth was shrieking loudly.

"Hi Bethie. Wow, for being only five days old you're pretty loud." She rocked her softly. As she calmed Beth down her frustrations of having to wake up at two were swept away. She really really really loved this baby. More than she could even verbalize. There wasn't words to describe this feeling. It was overwhelming yet amazing. "Shhh… Its okay…" She cooed to the baby.

Quinn walked into the room and leaned against the doorframe softly, unnoticed by Rachel. She too had woken when Beth had started crying but wasn't quite as quick as Rachel was, and had continued to lie down until she realized that Beth might be hungry and in that case she would need to be there as Rachel couldn't help with that.

"Yes Beth… Let's let Mommy sleep for a few more minutes. Shhh" Quinn smiled, loving how good Rachel was with Beth. Every time she saw them together she fell even more in love with Rachel. She had a natural way with Beth. It was as if she was always meant to help raise her. Sometimes Quinn had to stop herself from calling Rachel Beth's other mother, "Yes do you need a new diaper?" Rachel picked her up and sniffed, "Ew yes!" She tickled Beth sweetly making the baby gurgle sweetly. She changed the girl's diaper in a professional matter. Quinn was actually quite impressed. Rachel was the faster diaper changer which was okay as Quinn was faster at getting Beth in her clothing. "Soon I'm going to have a baby just like you." She cradled the girl in her arms and sat in the rocking chair opposite the crib, still oblivious to the fact that Quinn was just inside the doorframe, "Maybe your mommy will help me raise my baby like I'm helping raise you." Quinn smiled at this and realized this was her entrance so she strode into the room.

"I'd love to." Quinn pulled her into a kiss. Rachel tried to struggle away but soon the passion of this kiss engulfed her and she joined in. Beth, stuck between them, 'ga-ga'ed a bit but was quiet and allowed her mother to kiss her girlfriend. However, when they broke apart Rachel snapped at Quinn.

"Quinn! I didn't know you were here! How long were you listening?"

"Enough to know you are absolutely adorable and the sweetest thing ever." Rachel blushed furiously. "But you should go to sleep, you have to get up in four hours." Rachel pouted. To her diva mind it sounded as if Quinn was trying to get rid of her.

"Are you sure?"

"No! I mean yes but not because I don't want you to be here I just don't want to feel bad about making you tired in the morning." Quinn backtracked when she realized Rachel was upset. Rachel let out a sigh of relief making Quinn chuckle slightly. While relieved, Rachel still felt bad about leaving Quinn. She was about to protest when she yawned. It was just then that she realized that it was 2:30 in the morning and she was pretty tired.

"You got it?" She checked with Quinn.

"Yeah I got it." She kissed Rachel again.

Rachel woke up for the second time that morning and turned over to find Quinn back in her bed. She felt her heart do the familiar leap of happiness when she saw Quinn that always happened. She kissed her cheek and pulled the covers off of herself careful to make sure Quinn was still under covers. She checked once more to make sure she was sleeping before pulling her night shirt off. She changed into her sports bra and booty shorts as attire for her morning work out.

Thirty minutes later, slightly sweaty and feeling pumped, she walked into her room. Unknown to Rachel Quinn had woken a few minutes ago and now was eagerly awaiting her girlfriend's return.

"Good morning!" Quinn smiled brightly as Rachel entered the room earning a surprised shriek from Rachel.

"Oh my gosh! Quinn you scared me!" She cried as Quinn looked guilty.

"Sorry!" She apologized.

"No it's fine, I was just surprised" Rachel assured her.

"You look good." Quinn complimented observing her girlfriends less than covered body. She was right she did. Her legs were toned to perfection and her skin was glistening with a healthy glow.

"Thank you!" Rachel said before beginning picking out clothes and thus began the second part of her morning routine. She showered, fifteen minutes no more no less. Shampoo, conditioner, body and rinse. Everyday the same way. She did her quicker moisturizer routine for the morning which included a simple scrub and a special blend of dermatologist recommended lotion. She did her make-up; not to much, she wanted her inner beauty to shine through, just a bit of mascara and the faintest touch of blush. She did her hair, not much just a good comb with some organic de-frizz gel, she had been blessed with easy to deal with hair. Her fathers had joked that it was the only part of her that was easy to deal with. She got dressed, a cute turtleneck with a reindeer on it, a short plaid skirt- red and green, with her favorite knee high socks and ballet flats. Quinn watched all of this curiously while carrying Beth. Everything about her girlfriend interested her. She wasn't meaning to be creepy. She loved Rachel and they hadn't been together for very long at all. She wanted to know everything to know about Rachel. She wanted to be a Berry-expert. She was pretty sure Rachel wouldn't mind. When would Rachel care about people watching her and making her the center of attention?

"Quinn will you stop staring at me!" Rachel snapped as Quinn was observing her pull on her shirt causing the girl to step back as if Rachel's words were actually stabbing at her. She honestly was surprised my Rachel's reaction to the attention she had been giving her. But she knew with Rachel it was pointless to state that she might have possibly overreacted a bit so she just apologized.

"Sorry…"

"No… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you." Rachel admitted. She didn't mean to snap at Quinn. She loved the adoring attention that her girlfriend always gave her. She had felt like she had lost control and the words had tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop them.

"No it's okay." Quinn reached over Beth to kiss her softly. Rachel smiled into the kiss.

"What did I do to deserve you?" Quinn smirked as a reply. Instantly, floods of reason came into her mind. She understood Rachel's concern as she had had the same concerns about herself but hers were much more realistic. Such as she made this girl's life a living hell and then this same girl decided she loved her? Quinn's thoughts were scattered so she decided to be flirty in her response rather than serious. She didn't have time to formulate something better- Rachel was already looking nervous at Quinn's delay in response.

"Do you want me to make a list? Because that might make you late…" Rachel laughed and felt the nervousness slide off of her face.

"I would but I really shouldn't be late." She kissed Beth and kissed Quinn's cheek and obediently took the banana from the girl's hand. She waved as she walked to her car.

Two weeks passed quickly in haze of diapers and spit up. Rachel was now three months pregnant according to the doctor, which she had gone to with Quinn and Beth and her dads. She had freaked out the whole time and talked about a huge scenario where she started to hyperventilate and her lungs were ruined and she lost her voice and it all ended in her not being able to be on Broadway. The three others had raised eyebrows at this but Quinn was the one who squeezed her hand and told her that wasn't going to happen and that everything was going to be okay. Rachel had felt much better after the doctor had pronounced that the baby was healthy and on the right track. However, the doctor telling her that due to her petite form she was much more likely to start showing earlier, did not make her feel better. Beth, who was a little over two and a half weeks old now, had slept through Rachel's whole diva freak out and was pronounced by Leroy as the only one who could avoid crazy Rachel's wrath.

It was Friday when Quinn first went back to school.

They got ready per usual. Rachel was up earlier than Quinn at a ridiculous hour considering that the baby had called them into her nursery a grand total of five times the previous night. All was well asides from Quinn being a bit quieter than usual until it was actually time for Quinn to say goodbye to Beth. Tears fell down Quinn's face as Hiram gently took Beth from her. Rachel, who had gotten used to the heart ache that was being separated from Beth, was there to calm her down.

"Quinn… it's okay… Daddy's going to take good care of her." Rachel rubbed Quinn's back softly. Quinn gave a feeble nod and wiped the tears from her face.

"Yeah, I got her Quinn. Don't worry, Honey." Hiram added, kissing the little baby's face to show her that he loved her.

"I know… I'm just going to miss my little girl." She put her head on Rachel shoulder as Rachel soothed her by rubbing her back gently.

"I know, Angel… kiss her goodbye and we'll go to school and soon you'll see her soon." Both girls kissed Beth and Quinn followed Rachel to Quinn's car.

Quinn grabbed Rachel's hand as they walked out of the car. While both girls were totally out and all, it still surprised Rachel a bit how open Quinn was. In a good way. It made her proud to know not only did she have the bravest girlfriend ever but her girlfriend was not at all embarrassed of her. Not that Rachel thought she was but Rachel was no where near as cool as Quinn. Putting all of these feeling behind her she decided to focus on the task at hand: get Quinn in the building with little or no teasing.

"You ready?" Rachel asked. And her plan began. She had set a glee clubber around each of the hallways and had Puck on speed dial, just in case.

"Yes." Confidently, or so they seemed on they outside, they stepped into William McKinley High School. People stared, a couple laughed and a few actually booed. Rachel gritted her teeth at the ignorant homophobic bigots that littered Ohio. Quinn tried to hide her emotions and pain as not to upset Rachel, but she couldn't. They were pushing her over the edge. The way they looked at her. It was so different from the silent reverence she had gotten as Head Cheerleader. It was hostile, as if they were saying 'why are you at our school? Go away!' and it hurt. When one senior sneered at them Quinn finally lost it.

"How's the baby Fabray?" He jeered as they passed. Quinn kept her head high as she knew she should and decided to outsmart this idiot.

"She's great, thank you." She answered as politely as she could. The small chuckle from Rachel made the whole comment worth it even if the guy now looked like he was not rip Quinn's head from her body. He thought for a minute before coming up with what he thought was a clever come back.

"She hot as hell like you?"

"She's two weeks old." Quinn smirked. She laughed in her head at this boys extreme stupidity.

"Yeah maybe if she's not to hot she won't be a slut like you." Quinn glared at him. First, that didn't even really make sense and second, it was rude and actually stung. She knew she shouldn't let stupid comments hurt her like that but slut was one thing she couldn't handle. It was once. She had no doubt in her mind that this guy had slept with lots of girls they just didn't have the same bad (or good luck she had started to think when she looked at Beth, and felt Rachel kiss her, even though she knew it wasn't really good luck) luck as her and had stayed a teenager without children.

"You and your freak of a girlfriend." The boy added viciously. Quinn clenched her fists. Rachel tried to calm her down by rubbing her back and whispering in her ear but failed terribly. Insulting Quinn was one thing, insulting Rachel was another.

"Rachel, get out of here. I don't want you to get hurt." Quinn hissed under her breathe as the senior jeered. Quinn needed to knock some sense into this guy but she didn't want Rachel to see it or to be hurt by accident by this guy.

"No Quinn. Don't." Rachel protested. She despised this guy as much Quinn but she didn't want Quinn to get in a fight on her first day back. This guy wasn't worth Quinn's time.

"Rachel please. I'll meet you at your locker in five." Quinn pleaded softly. Seeing how much this mattered to Quinn, Rachel reluctantly stepped to the side to mix in with the crowd of people now watching. Quickly she found Kurt who held her hand as they watched the scene that was about to take place.

Once Rachel was with Kurt, Quinn yelled at the ignoramus in front of her. "Don't you dare insult my girlfriend!"

"You know what? I think I can do whatever the hell I please. Don't try to be my mommy,

You can do that when you go home." Rachel gasped but Quinn just gritted her teeth and shouted right back at him. By now quite a crowd had been attracted.

"My daughter is beautiful. She is already ten times smarter than you because she doesn't give a crap if people are gay or straight or bi, she just wants them to love her. You have failed to grasp that concept." Rachel and Kurt each gave a little cheer and a couple of people turned their heads to look at them.

"Excuse me but I don't think becoming a mother gives you permission to just lecture people every where you go." The boy shouted, mocking Quinn's cool tone. Quinn was surprisingly calm and when she replied it was softly and relaxed.

"No it doesn't. But it sure as hell has made me whole lot stronger. And to think, I used to think that you were cool. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go find my girlfriend." She said turning to walk off. The boy pushed her back. While Quinn wasn't quite surprised that this boy would resort to violence, she was a little; even in this school boys didn't hit girls. Quinn had always seen that as sexist but that was how it was.

"Don't you dare go act all superior to me." He threw her into the locker hard, earning many screams.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Rachel screamed pulling away from Kurt and running back into the mix. He looked posed to throw her into the locker to when Quinn screamed.

"Please don't hurt her. You wouldn't hurt a girl, would you!" She hated what she said but he did seem conflicted for a moment.

"You know what? You're right! I have better morals then that. Just stop flaunting your gayness everywhere and stay out of my face." He turned to leave, pushing Quinn out of the way.

"Hey!" Puck came walking down the hall with Brittany, who stood behind him, and Santana, who was right next to him. Rachel could quickly assume that Kurt had sent out an emergency signal.

"Hey idiot." Santana called. "Yeah you. You leave my girl Quinn alone. I'm from Lima Heights Adjacent, you know what that means? It means I know how to throw a punch. And you know what else? Yeah little Beth, I've met her a few times, she's freakin' adorable. Way cuter than you or anyone else who is a homophobe dumb ass so next time I hear you say anything bad about my niece, I will cut you… got it?" The boy turned to walk away, by now kind of terrified, when Puck grabbed him.

"Apologize." He commanded. The senior looked tortured. "That's my daughter you were talking about and if you say another bad thing about her I will personally punch you so hard that you will wish you had never been born. Now apologize to my Baby Mama and her hot Jewish girlfriend, Right. Now."

"Sorry." He mumbled before running off in the opposite direction. Santana high fived Puck before the two of them hugged their friends. Brittany joined in for good measure. Slowly the crowd around the seceded and Britt, Santana, and Rachel went to their first class. Quinn started to walk off before being stopped by Puck.

"Wait! Quinn can we talk about something?"

"Sure…" Quinn said uncertain. She knew Puck was good with her and Rachel. She just wasn't so sure as to if she wanted to hear whatever Puck had to say.

"Thanks… So um... I know we both agreed that Beth would go home with you and all and I could visit her whenever I wanted?" Quinn nodded, "Well while that's great and all, it's just not a whole lot of time. So I was wondering if I could get her on weekends. Not right away but like when she's old enough.

"You want Beth… by yourself… you think you can handle that?" Quinn asked skeptically. 'Rachel would not go for this' she thought.

"Are you questioning my badassness. I think I can handle my own daughter." Quinn raised her eyebrows and bit her lip.

"Okay, When she is two months old you can have her on the weekends by yourself. But Rachel is not going to be happy about it."

"Is Rachel like Beth's other mother?" Quinn looked surprised by the question even though it kind of made sense.

"I don't know. I mean yes in the way that we're both raising her but I don't think Rachel wants Beth to call her mom or anything. We haven't really talked about it…" Puck nodded. Quinn turned to leave.

"And Quinn? Letting Kurt and Santana and Britt and Mercedes be her aunts? Really?"

"Aunts and Uncle and yes, they begged." Quinn said laughing softly, remembering the conversation. Or in better words confrontation when Brittany, Santana, Mercedes, and Kurt had all showed up at their doorstep demanding the title of Aunts and Uncle.

Quinn didn't catch up with Rachel until third period.

"Hey." She whispered into her ear softly as she snuck behind her.

"Quinn!" She cried, "Oh my gosh you scared me. You cant do that! I could have screamed and ruined my vocal chords! And-" Quinn kissed her hard, "Hey! I was talking."

"I know." She kissed her again, for a moment all seemed okay. Rachel smiled before throwing her hand to her mouth and, with Quinn on her heel, ran into the bathroom. As Rachel threw up, Quinn rubbed her back and cleaned her off when she was done.

"I'm so ready for the second trimester." Rachel sobbed into Quinn's shoulder.

"I know, My Poor Little Star, one more month." Rachel groaned.

"Can we just stay here?" Quinn nodded. She didn't particularly want to go to class were everyone was staring at her and whispering either.

"Of course. Do you want to call your dad and check on Bethie?" Rachel nodded excitedly and pulling out her phone, put it on speaker,

"Hi daddy? I'm just on checking Beth?"

"She's perfect, she's napping. She's a perfect Angel." Rachel smiled as Quinn chuckled.

"Just like her mother." Rachel whispered softly. Quinn kissed her

"Stop being so adorable girls! I'm going to cry." Quinn laughed,

"Sorry, Mr. Berry."

"Quinn! Hiram or nothing at all!" Quinn blushed as Rachel smiled happily. They had had this conversation before.

"Right Hiram, sorry. So Beth's all good?"

All good! Waiting for her mommies to come home." There was an awkward silence before Rachel said something.

"You mean her mom" Rachel corrected.

"I'm so sorry girls, I didn't realize you guys weren't saying Rachel was one of her moms… or anything" On the other line, Hiram mentally kicked himself.

"It's fine daddy. We have to go." Rachel hung up the phone leaving Hiram confused and apologetic. The silence that fell over the bathroom was awkward, one of the few times in their relationship that was weird or uncomfortable.

"Rach…" Rachel looked up as Quinn said something.

"Yeah?"

"We should get to class."

"Do we have to?" Rachel whined pitifully, her puppy dog expression making the awkwardness in the room vanish

"If you pout again we don't." Rachel pouted, "I mean I can't say no to that face." Quinn said matter-of-factly

"No you can't. Let's skip fourth period, none of the teachers expect you to go to class anyway." Quinn agreed.

The two spent fourth period teasing each other and making light hearted jokes. The time was enjoyed by all and both girls were reluctant to leave the bathroom when the bell rang. Luckily it was just lunch next, a time that they were lucky enough to share and they were able to eat together.

Quinn spent lunch trying to get Rachel to eat something, while Rachel spent it trying to convince Quinn that she wasn't hungry. Finally Quinn was able to get Rachel to eat a bit of a salad by telling her that if she didn't she wasn't going to kiss her for the rest of the day. Again reluctantly, they left lunch and walked off to their separate destinations, but, not without a kiss.

"Oh yeah! That's good… keep going!" Azimio called from the pack watching the two girls,

"Please be quiet Azimio. I believe I have every right to kiss my girlfriend after lunch without you being a creep and watching us." Rachel lectured making Quinn giggle happily. They brushed lips once more and walked off to their respective classes.

Quinn suffered through her afternoon classes. Without Rachel the ache of missing Beth was much stronger and she wished to see her baby so much she could hardly take it. During her last class, English, she decided to skip Glee after school.

Rachel walked into Glee on her phone. While Mr. Schue usually wouldn't permit a student to talk on their phone at school he was well aware of the fact that, as Rachel was helping raise a baby at her house, there was strong likelihood that this call was important. As if it was planned, as soon as Rachel hung up Quinn walked into the room over to her girlfriend.

"Quinn. My daddy just called." Quinn's heart dropped. Rachel could see the fear reflected on the girl's face, "No, Quinn. She's fine. My dad just forgot we had Glee after school and accidentally scheduled a meeting in twenty minutes, One of us needs to get home to be with Beth.

Quinn wanted to go. Bad. But she looked at Rachel, one of her best features was that she could look at Rachel and pretty much know what she wanted. Rachel had had a pretty crappy day from what Quinn could tell and the poor girl just wanted to go home. So Quinn tucked away that longing for her daughter and allowed Rachel to choose who would skip Glee.

"Quinn… would you mind if I went?"

"Not at all. Beth loves you, she'll be happy for you to be with her." Rachel nodded and kissed Quinn's cheek and walked out of the choir room leaving Quinn with a sad little smile on her face.

Mr. Schue called the glee club to order and scanned the room to make sure all of the glee clubbers were in the room.

"Quinn, where's Rachel?" Mr. Schue asked realizing the Diva was not in the room

"Oh, sorry Mr. Schue. Her dad called, he needed one of us to go home and be with Beth." A couple people raised their eyebrows.

"Why didn't you go, Quinn, or like Puck?" Finn asked confused

"Because Rachel offered to." Quinn answered curtly. She knew the others were still confused but she ignored them and looked at Mr. Schuester expectantly. He took the cue and started the class. None of the songs sounded quite right without Rachel and on the majority of them, the lead female soloist was missing. After what others would call a depressing rehearsal he allowed them to go ten minutes early. Quinn was the first one out of the choir room and the first one to her car.

"Shhh Beth… Hi honey." Rachel cooed picking up Beth. She changed her diaper and cleaned her off. She got her some milk from the fridge and thirty minutes later she carried the baby over to the rocking chair and softly cradled her. She talked to her softly, "Beth… some people are mean. All of the kids in my school except Glee and especially not your mommy. Well not everyone. But not to many people are tolerant. I'll teach you that word when you're older" Quinn tiptoed into the room, Rachel not having noticed her continued, "I hope you never have you never have to face that Beth. But being raised by two mommies might make you have to." Quinn heart leapt. She had always thought Rachel didn't want to be Beth's mom. She though it would be too much with Rachel having her own kid. She beamed and walked into the room. "Oh my gosh! Quinn I'm so sorry! Did you hear that?" Rachel exclaimed, flustered.

Rachel didn't think Quinn wanted her to be Beth's other mom. That seemed really serious in a relationship and they had only been dating a couple of weeks. She didn't want to rush it. Sure, she knew she wanted Quinn to be the mom of her baby but Beth already had two parents, she didn't really need Rachel like Rachel's baby would need Quinn. Rachel blushed hard. She was expecting Quinn to be upset, or to correct her. She wasn't expecting Quinn's lips to crash against her's. She smiled into their kiss.

"Thank you, Rachel."

"For what?"

"I'm not sure. I guess for breaking the ice. Rachel, I want you to be Beth's other mom, if that's okay with you?" Rachel nodded smiling gleefully and the two moms kissed, hard and long. An amused Beth looked on. While it was highly unlikely, Rachel said that Beth was smiling the whole time.

That night Rachel lay curled into Quinn as Quinn laid her hand over Rachel's pretty much still flat stomach. While there was the smallest bit of roundness to it, it was pretty much impossible to tell that the girl was with child.

"Quinn…"

"Mmm… yeah baby?"

"Do you like… want to be like the Mom or like mommy?" Quinn laughed happily at Rachel's question,

"I don't know… what do you want to be?" Rachel loved being Beth's mother already, she did know what she wanted to be called, but Beth was Quinn's biologically so Quinn should get to choose, in her eyes. She just wanted this to be right, and it wouldn't just be for Beth it would be for Baby #2 as well. They couldn't just change from Mom to Mommy in the middle. Rachel always thought these things through quite thoroughly. "I really don't care." Quinn continued, "I mean I care but I don't have a preference, I want you to get your choice"

"Well… I have sort of always wanted to be a Mama..." Rachel admitted.

"You'd be a perfect Mama." Quinn agreed grinning happily,

"Aww thank you, Angel."

"I'll be Mommy or Mom when they grow up." Quinn decided and poked Rachel's stomach lightly.

"That sounds amazing." Rachel scooted more into Quinn's arms and they fell asleep pressed against each other.
