AN: Again I apologize for the wait, school sucks and consumes my life. Thank you to everyone who review, favorite and/or follow it always makes my day that much brighter. :) So without further adu I present to you chapter 8 of Honey, our kids are from the future.
Rachel woke a little later than usual, she didn't have a class until this afternoon so she had decided to sleep in. She stumbled her way into the kitchen, finding Kurt and coffee there.
"Well good morning roommate of mine." She said happily. She always was a morning person.
"Morning Rachel. What are your plans for this morning?" Kurt said hoping she would say that she was planning on calling Harmony so they could talk more.
"I think I'm going to call Harmony and have her come over here so we can talk. I wasn't very open yesterday and I feel that I should really talk to her. Open my mind completely and really listen to her. She is my daughter after all."
"So you completely believe her now?" He saw Rachel nod her head. "That's really great Rach. I mean the girl really is just like you, she's incredibly talented, she rambles, and she has yours and Quinn's smarts. Also she has Quinn's attitude and your drive."
Rachel smiles, her and Quinn apparently did really well with Harmony. As Rachel reflects on Harmony's traits she begins thinking of their conversation the day before. As she replays the conversation one line sticks out to her Sugar and my sister.
"Oh my God. Kurt I am so stupid! Harmony said that her sister and Sugar came from the future with her! She has a sister, and I didn't even ask about my other daughter! What if she tells her sister and my own daughter thinks I don't care about her!" Rachel was starting to hyperventilate, how could she not have realized this yesterday.
"Rachel. Rachel, calm down. You were in shock yesterday. I'm sure Harmony didn't tell her sister you don't care. Besides, she's your daughter so she probably understands how you work, I'm sure she's fine." Kurt said rubbing Rachel's back trying to get her to calm down. Rachel just nods and continues to try and calm down. "I have to go to work, call Harmony and talk to her. I'll see you later." he places a kiss on her forehead and leaves for work.
After Kurt leaves, Rachel picks up her phone and the paper with Harmony's number on it. She dials her daughter's number and brings the phone to her ear. Harmony picks up on the second ring.
"Hello?"
"Harmony? It's me Rachel... or Mom."
"Hi Mom. What's up?" Harmony wasn't expecting a call from her mom so soon, she figured Rachel would need to take more time to process everything.
"I was wondering if you could stop by my apartment this morning to talk some more?"
"Of course Mom. I'll be right over."
"See you soon Harmony." As Rachel hangs up the phone she looks down at what she's wearing, she's still in her pajamas. She gets up to change but then thinks better of it, if Harmony is her daughter then she had likely seen her in pajamas before. She sits down on her couch with her coffee and waits for her daughter.
About 20 minutes later there is a knock on the door. Rachel gets up and answers the door for her daughter.
"Good morning Harmony." She said as she pulls the younger girl into a hug.
"Good morning Mom."
Harmony and Rachel each take a seat on the couch, facing each other. They sit in silence for a minute until Rachel breaks the silence. "Harmony, it has come to my attention that something you said yesterday was very important but I failed to acknowledge it."
"And what is that?" Harmony asks, although she is pretty sure her mom is about to ask about Abby.
"You said that you have a sister. Is that correct?"
Harmony smiles at the fact that she knows her mother so well. "Yes I do. Her name is Abigail, everyone calls her Abby. She's 15, she looks just like Mama but she has your eyes."
"Tell me about both of you. About our lives." Now that Rachel accepted everything she just wanted to know everything.
"Well, we lived in New York for a while. You were on Broadway." She sees her Mom smile at this. "You retired to be with all of us more. After that we moved to Connecticut, Litchfield. Abby plays soccer, she's really good too. Made it on varsity her freshman year. We're both in the school's glee club. It's pretty good, not as good as the new directions but no one will be as good as them. Santana and Brittany live a couple streets over, we all have weekly dinners planned but we're all together most days anyway." She smiles remembering some of the times her Auntie San and Auntie Britt just showed with Sugar and said they were staying for dinner.
"I guess you really can't break up the Unholy Trinity." Rachel said chuckling. "So Sugar is their daughter? You mentioned it yesterday." She adds that last part seeing Harmony's speculating glace.
"Oh... Yeah...You can't tell Auntie San though Mom, Sugar has to be the one to tell them." She can't believe she let that information slip, she wasn't supposed to tell anyone until Sugar told her moms.
"Of course I won't tell them. Wait, Sugar is 16 too, are you two friends?" Rachel still couldn't really believe she was having this conversation, sure she's wrapped her head around being a mother and being married to Quinn but sitting here and talking about what things are like in the future was beyond weird.
Harmony blushes as she thinks about Sugar and the talk they had last night when Sugar and Abby came to New York. "Yeah, you could say that..."
Harmony was sitting on her bed in her tiny hotel room watching Friends re-runs on the old television set in the front of the room. Her moms had the full series box set at home and they made the girls watch every episode every once in awhile, claiming that after Friends, TV was and would never be as good again. She watched as the group sat in the coffee shop talking when she heard a knock on the rooms door. Figuring it was probably room service or a maid she opened the door without looking through the peephole, when the door opened she was immediately pulled into a tight hug by Sugar and her sister.
"You guys! I didn't expect you to be here already!" She said pulling the two girls into the hotel room.
"Well Sugar here was practically crying begging me to come up here today rather than tomorrow, so I figured it'd be better for my mental health if I just gave in. Ow! Sugar stop elbowing me!" Said Abby, making Harmony giggle at the fact that Sugar wanted to see her.
"I was NOT crying, you shrimp!" Sugar said flicking Abby's head.
"Yeah sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night. and I am so not a shrimp, you're only like an inch taller than me!" She said scowling at Sugar. Sugar just stuck her tongue out at Abby and walked to Harmony and embraced her again.
"I missed you Harm." She mumbled into Harmony's neck.
"I missed you too, Sug." Said Harmony as she rested her chin on the top of Sugar head and looked over at her little sister. "I missed you too Ab. How was your talk with Mama?"
Abby looked on as Sugar and her older sister hugged, Abby knew that Harmony loved Sugar and she also knew that Sugar loved Harmony. They were literally made for each other, daughters of the Unholy Trinity. Watching them she remembered that Sugar had said something about Harmony wanting to talk, Harm was probably going to tell Sugar how she felt and Abby did not want to be here for that. "It was good, she's as cool in the past as she is in the future." She heard Harmony chuckle softly into Sugar's hair. All their friends were always blown away by how cool their Mama was, she wasn't like other parents. While other parents were annoyingly polite to their kids friends Quinn would joke around with them and tell them exactly what she thought of them. "So yeah, you two should talk or something. I saw that the hotel has a closed in roof so I'm gonna go kick around my ball for a while." She grabbed her soccer ball from her bag and started to leave the room.
"Okay. Just don't like kick it off the roof and kill someone. Take your phone too just in case I need you for something. And please be careful Abby." Harmony said. She had always been very protective of her little sister, she would almost have a heart attack every time Abby got hurt playing soccer. Letting her sister go to Connecticut with Sugar was really hard for Harmony, her and Abby are very close and are almost always together, but she knew she couldn't have gone with the small blond.
"Of course Harm. See you later guys."
After Abby left Harmony and Sugar pulled out of their hug as Harmony reached for Sugar's hand and lead her to the small sitting area in the corner of the room. "So I wanted to talk to you about something Sugar." She said taking a deep breath. She saw Sugar nod her head to encourage her to keep going.
"Okay so, we've known each other since the day you were born and we've been friends for just as long. For a couple of years when I was still in New York we only saw each other about once a month but those couple days a month were always my favorite." She smiles and she sees Sugar smile too, they always had so much fun when they were together. "When I moved to Connecticut I was so excited because I would get to see you all the time. Then we moved in and I saw that you would be living down the street from me I was ecstatic. Then we became closer with every day that passed. You've been my best friend for 16 straight years, and the reason I've waited for so long to have this conversation was in fear of doing something that would mess that up, but I can't keep this in anymore. I love you Sugar, I'm in love with you. I have been ever since we were 7 and you pushed Jimmy Wilson off a swing because I wanted a turn." She finished with a relieved sigh, she had finally told Sugar everything she wanted to say. She looked over at the girl of her dreams and saw she was crying but there was a huge smile on her face.
Harmony hesitantly lifted her hand to Sugars cheek and wiped away some of her tears. Sugar looked up at Harmony, brown eyes met blue and she was captivated by the blue eyed beauty she has loved since she was 7. She leaned in slowly and their lips met for the first time. It was magical, there were stars and fireworks behind both of their eyes. It was over as soon as it began as Sugar pulled away slowly and looked right into Harmony's shining blue eyes. "I love you too." she said and crashed their lips together again, more forcefully this time.
Harmony had never felt anything like this, she felt home looking into Sugar's eyes. Kissing Sugar was the most amazing thing she had ever encountered, this kiss was filled with passion, but it slowed after a few moments become more sensual and sweet. As they pulled apart Harmony rested her forehead against Sugar's and looked into those beautiful brown eyes. "Sugar Lopez-Pierce will you do me the fabulous honor of being my girlfriend?"
"I would love nothing more than to be your girlfriend, Harmony Berry-Fabray." She smiled and pressed a chaste kiss to Harmony's lips. "You should probably call the shrimp and tell her to get her ass back down here. We need food, I'm starving!"
Harmony giggled quietly and called Abby.
When Abby entered the room she saw Sugar sitting on her sister's lap with Harmony's arms around her, they did this often but there was something different about it this time. She just looked at them for a few seconds and then the lightbulb went off in her head. "Holy shit! You guys finally fucking told each other! Thank god! I was beginning to think you two would never figure it out!" She yelled.
"Language Abigail." Harmony scowled at her sister. Abby just waved her off. "And yeah. Meet my lovely girlfriend." Sugar smiled at finally being Harmony's girlfriend. Abby smiled too, she really was happy for them.
"Whatever, but remember that I have to sleep in here too so no fooling around under the covers. I don't need to be scarred for life by hearing you two fucking."
"ABIGAIL!"
"Earth to Harmony." Rachel said waving her hand in front of her daughters face.
"Hmm? oh uh yeah Mom?" Harmony said blushing at the fact that she completely zoned out thinking about Sugar.
Rachel looked at her incredulously, she wanted to ask Harmony what she was thinking about but judging by the blush on her daughter's cheeks she didn't think she really wanted to know. "Nevermind. So in the future, are we still in touch with the other members of the New Directions?"
"Of course, Uncle Puck comes to visit a lot, he lives in Connecticut too. He's married and has a son, he's about 6 his name is Chuck, well it's Charles but no one calls him that, Abby and I babysit him a lot. Uncle Puck is literally your best friend, you two even have a bro's night every month." She saw her mother smile at that. Noah always had a special place in Rachel's heart. "Aunt Tina and Uncle Mike have three kids, Kelly she's 17, Mark is 14 , and Seth is 12. They live in New Jersey. Aunt Mercedes married Uncle Sam and they have two kids, Alex who's 15 and absolutely in love with Abby, she can't stand him though, and Leah she's 13. They live in Tennessee because of Uncle Sam's music. Artie is married, one kid Owen he's 4 or 5, they live in Lima. Uncle Kurt and Uncle Blaine have two boys Collin he's 14 and Blake who's 12. They still live in New York. Uncle Finn is the person we see the least, mostly because you and Mamma pretty much hate him, I don't even know why we call him Uncle Finn. It's probably because he's Uncle Kurt's brother. He's divorced and as dumb as a door, still thinks he has some kind of shot with you. You all have a New directions meet up twice a year, one in Lima so you can visit the current glee club and one in Connecticut so they can stay with us, San and Britt, and Puck. And I think that sums it up."
"Wow I see you inherited my ability to talk in paragraphs without breathing. I'm glad we keep in touch with everyone, well everyone important, I really do miss them all. Mostly Quinn. I am also glad that all their lives turned out pretty well with all their kids and marriages. Except Finn, I really don't care what he does with his life." She chuckled at that and so did Harmony. "Speaking of Quinn and lives turning out well, guess where your Mom is going this weekend." Rachel said smiling.
"Are you going to visit Mama?" Harmony asked enthusiastically.
"I am."
"Mom that's great! You better try and get together with her, Mom. You two belong together."
"I most definitely will be trying to get together with your Mama. I can't believe I never noticed how I felt about Quinn before you came here. Honestly I am very glad you showed up here yesterday, I'm very proud that you had the courage to come here and tell me everything, I know I wouldn't have had the bravery have at your age." Rachel said looking at her daughter proudly. Truthfully, Harmony was almost exactly what she always wanted when she pictured her children. Harmony was smart and extremely talented, she could stand up for herself and was brave. She hopes to meet Abby soon, she's sure that her other daughter would be as great as Harmony was.
"Thank you Mom." Harmony said softly, looking at her mom.
"No, Thank you Harmony." She reached for her daughters hand and squeezed it lightly smiling at Harmony. "I wish I could stay here and talk some more with you, Harmony. But I have class to get to in a bit, but I'll talk to you soon?" Rachel said, saddened that she couldn't get to know her daughter better.
"It's fine Sugar is probably waiting for me. Have fun in class Mom, and if we don't talk before you see Mama, good luck with all that." She said as she walked to the door. "Bye Mom." She pulled Rachel into a tight hug.
"Bye Harmony. I'll see you soon."
