"How are you feeling?" Quinn asked Allison. She placed a hand on the girl's forehead; the poor thing was burning up.
"Awful," Allison admitted. Quinn pursed her lips.
"You're lucky that you aren't in the show anymore," Quinn said. Allison nodded. Quinn was the only one still in the show.
"I miss it, mom," Allison sniffled. Quinn kissed Allison's forehead.
"I know, sweetie," Quinn murmured and left so that Allison could sleep.
Finn was standing in the foyer. Quinn's jaw dropped and her eyes got misty.
"You came back," she murmured.
"Yeah. I-I heard that Allison is sick," Finn said worriedly.
"She has the flu, but she's progressing and that's what matters," Quinn sighed.
"I'm sorry that I ran out on you two months ago. I was kind of freaked out," Finn admitted.
"Well I kissed you," Quinn reminded him.
"Rache doesn't know I'm here. She really hates you because you have the life that she wants," Finn explained.
"Right, single, just having found her child and watching you get married to some annoying hypocritical psycho is the life she definitely wants," Quinn hissed and then recoiled with guilt.
"She thinks your life is more perfect than it is, true. But you are living her dream," Finn sighed.
"Maybe I have the initiative," Quinn mumbled.
"Initiative to do what? Quinn we need to get this out," he breathed. Quinn sat on the couch. Tears shimmered in her eyes.
"We dated. We broke up when Beth wasn't yours. We got together and then Rachel got you drunk and you cheated and we broke up. You dumped me after you cheated on me. I couldn't let you go. And then I get you out of Lima just to learn that you are engaged to that home wrecker? What do you expect me to say? To say that I'm over you when after all we've been through all I can say is that I'm hopelessly in love with you?" Quinn asked. Finn stared at her in stunned silence. Quinn's breathing was ragged.
"I betrayed your trust once. Once. But you even sided with Rachel when she pushed me down those stairs and that injury had me in crutches for a month. I was booted off of the cheerios again. I thought you were a good guy, Finn. But I forgot that you only play nice when things go your way," Quinn was shaking with hurt and rage at this point.
"Quinn," Finn started.
"I guess I sparked the feud I have with Rachel but I don't care right now, she may have strung you along but you could have at least gone to her in a way that didn't hurt quite so much," Quinn continued.
"Quinn," Finn tried again.
"This sounds so selfish but all I felt for weeks after we broke up was numbness. And then a wave of pain like I have never felt," Quinn's speech was stopped short by Finn planting his lips on hers.
"Quinn, I think I love you," Finn said when they had pulled apart. Quinn laughed. Quinn laughed and she cried tears of joy.
"You love me?" she asked. Finn took her hand.
"I love you enough to go home right this instant and break off my engagement to Rachel," Finn admitted. Quinn pressed her forehead to his.
"I love you too," she whispered.
"I know, and I'm a better man for knowing," Finn sighed happily.
"And you are okay with being a father figure to Beth and Allison?" Quinn asked.
"I already am," Finn smirked. He stood up.
"Where are you going?" Quinn asked.
"I'll be back in an hour or two. I've got to tell Rachel, I won't cheat on her like I did with you," Finn explained and closed the door behind him, leaving Quinn still grinning like a lovesick idiot.
