Chapter 8: Never Again
Three years have passed since Rachel had found Quinn and they reunited. Quinn had eventually worked up the courage to ask Rachel to marry her and confessed that she kept the ring since she got it all those years ago. The two were now married and had a two year old son named, Matthew. The day he was born was the same day that Henry was sentenced to twenty-five to life in prison and Quinn finally felt free.
Quinn laid in bed next to Rachel, she took in the soft sound of her chest rising and falling steadily. She bit the corner of her bottom lip and stared at the brunette. Her long, silky brown hair spread out on the pillow and in her face. Her eyes were scrunched up trying to get rid of the dream that she was having. Quinn noticed the look of fear on her face and quickly lifted her hand to try to soothe out her furrowed brow.
"Rachel, it's okay," she whispered. The girl's breathing only got heavier as the dream intensified. Brushing the loose strands out of her face, she ran her thumb across the girl's cheek. "Rach, wake up."
When she said those words the brunette shot up and opened her eyes. She looked around in a panic and then her eyes landed on Quinn's. "Q-Quinn…" She muttered, her voice cracking a bit.
Sitting up the blonde took the girl into her arms and held her close. "Shh, it's alright, Rachel. I'm here." She said as she patted her hair.
"I thought I lost you again." She cried into the blonde's shoulder.
"You'll never lose me, Rachel."
"But I did. They took you away from me and they…t-they…"
"Rachel, don't. Everything is okay now. I'm safe. We both are and no one is ever going to take me away from you again. I promise." Calming her breaths, Rachel nodded. "Go back to sleep now and don't think about what happened. I'll be here when you wake." They both shared a kiss then fell asleep in each other's embrace.
