Y'all were all so nice with your reviews for Hell-O...I am glad because I was worried so much about that episode. The Power of Madonna was a big episode and all I ask is don't hate me!
Also Quinn NEVER slushied Rachel...Puck, Azimo and Karofsky all slushied her but Quinn and the Cheerios never did...sorry every Faberry Fic talks about how Quinn slushied her and the beautiful (the image that comes to mind when I think Veela) Quinn only called her names. Sorry for my rant.

Lets get back to business:
Episode 15.
"Jesse wants to sleep with me..." Rachel told Quinn while the drove to school together. Quinn immediately parked the car. "You have only been dating him for a week...does he think you are that easy?" Quinn asked pissed off that he would even bring it up that early in a relationship. "I dunno. I think he is trying to prove that he isn't gay." Rachel said trying to reason with her.
"Well it's not gonna happen. You are mine. You hear me." Quinn stated before latching her hands on Rachel's neck and leaning in to kiss her girlfriend. The kiss deepened and hands soon travelled everywhere. Quinn pulled away when Rachel's hands touched her bump. Quinn didn't want to admit but she hated how she felt with the extra weight.
They said their goodbyes a block from the school and Quinn headed toward WMHS parking lot while Rachel stopped to talk to Mercedes.
"Material Girl" was blasting over the PA system in the hallways of William McKinely High School thanks to one Sue Slyvester. The Glee Club girls couldn't hear it in the choir room where they were all hanging out before school began. Quinn and Tina sat alone while Quinn began absentmindly drawing.
She was drawing a randon face and she hated to admit that she sucked at something but art was not her thing. Brittany and Santana arrived together. Brittany looked at Quinn's drawing. "Is that meant to be Berry?" Brittany asked pointing to the badly drawn man. Quinn flusttered, she didn't want anyone to suspect anything between them so she replied simply. "Yeah..." Brittany took the notebook from the blonde and wrote "Rachel Berry" on it and handed it back to Quinn.
Mercedes came in with the brunette talking about Dream Girls and the similarites with The Supremes. They stopped when they seen the other girls. "What are you hiding Miss Perfect?" Mercedes asked Quinn who upon seeing the divas enter the room tried to cover up her notepad. Mercedes grabbed it and after a quick examination she threw it back at Quinn who muttered "You suck" at the diva unfortunately for Quinn, Rachel seen the drawing. Quinn shot Rachel a pained look hoping she could talk to her telepathically and apoligise. Rachel eyes told Quinn that she was more than upset.
'Is my nose really that big? I can't believe that's how she sees me. Do I have hair on my upper lip...I can't feel it? She said that my hair is soft but that...the...had frizzy hair. I knew she seen me as ugly...she knows I am out of her league. Well, I am not out of Jesse's league. Awh, Santana is being sweet to me.'
'Oh god. I hate Brittany right now. Santana has a hand on Rachel's knee and is smiling sympathetically at her. Get your grubby mitts off my girlfriend! Maybe she seen Britt write her name on it. Why did I say Yeah? This man looks nothing lke her. She is an angel. Oh god. She looks so upset.'
Quinn tried to make it better. She drew a love heart and smiled at the brunette. Who smiled weakly back at her. So Quinn drew another and then another until 27 hearts doned the page. She began writing a heading on top. The letters on the top half spelled LO-ER. Quinn traced the shape of a "V" in between the letters with her pinky. Rachel smiled but Santana was turning to look over at Quinn so the blonde quickly scribbled a "S" in the empty spot and Rachel's smile fell. 'Loser...well at least Jesse wants to sleep with me. I have to make her see.'
"May I ask you guys something private?" Rachel asked the group. "Yes, you should move back to Israel." Santana replied without thinking. Any points for Rachel's heart that she gained with her kind gesture earlier were obliterated with that reply and Quinn was loving it. She couldn't help but smirk. Rachel stood up and grabbed a stool and sat in front of the congregation "It's about dating" Quinn shot her girlfriend a flirtacious look. Rachel caught Quinn's eye and blushed when all ten eyes focused on her.
"Not that I'm dating anyone. We all know that Finn and I are no longer an item and for the sake of the team I broke up with Jesse...but lets just say I was dating someone...Lets just say hypothetically we went to a Wiggles concert last Friday night and because my dads weren't home we went up to my room and start making out." Quinn looks at Rachel horrified that she has to hear it. "It was erotic and romantic." Quinn clenched her fists so hard that she was leaving nail marks in her palms. "And then he said we should do it. Lets hypothetically say that he said that I said that I hadn't done it before and he said that he had and then he said that it wasn't a big deal but I told him that it was for a girl. What if then he then got really crabby and left without the carebear I had won him playing Skeeball?"
Quinn didn't want to hear anymore. "Please stop talking, you are grossing out my baby."
"I just wanna be ready. I know I am getting older and these things are gonna happen." 'Like turning down men for sex not sleeping with them.' "But how do I stop a guy from getting mad at me for saying no?" 'Because I'll be turning him down a lot.'
"That's easy just never say no." Santana told the diva. 'So when I ask you. You will be willing.'
"Totally. What is the worst that can happen?" Brittany looked over at Quinn. "Sorry Quinn."
"Look girl, don't ask me the last guy I liked was the mayor of gay town and I can't wait to get a guy mad at me for saying no."
"We have to accept that guys don't care about our feelings." Tina told the group what Artie told her the other day. Mr Schuester stood up from his spot by his desk. "Hey guys, I'm sorry to interupt your little sorority but I couldn't help but overhear. Are you really having that much boy trouble?"
"You wouldn't understand Mr Schue, you are a guy" Quinn said bitterly still pissed that Jesse is trying to put the moves on her girl and even more pissed that Rachel was telling the other girls about it. Also her mood swings were making her hate men...not that she had been a big fan before.
"Well then maybe you should talk to someone else about that like...Ms Pillsbury?"
"I tried that, she told me to ask my mother and when I reminded her two gay dads, she suggested that I discuss it with my rabbi."
The bell rang and everyone got up to the leave. "The fact is, women earn 70 cents to every dollar a man does for doing the sme job. That attitude starts in high school."
Quinn badly had to pee. She was drying her hands in the bathroom when she seen Rachel enter the bathroom. Rachel flipped the sliding lock into place. "What was that whole Jesse thing?" Quinn asked. Rachel walked straight past her and went to wash her hands. "I dunno what was with that drawing?" Rachel said flippantly.
"Baby...I swear that was not how it looked." Quinn tried to grab Rachel's hand but Rachel pushed her away. "I was just doodling it was not you and then Brittany asked was it you and then she wrote your name and then you came in...I wasn't drawing you...I was drawing a man...not you...I love you...you know that."
"So you don't think I have a big nose?"
"No"
"What about my hair? Do you think it is bushy?"
"Your hair is the smoothest, softest hair I have ever run my fingers through."
"Most importantly...Do I have a moustache?"
"No baby. Your whole mouth area is beautiful...your whole face is actually. I love this beauty mark especially." Quinn kissed the beauty mark on Rachel's cheek. "What was all that about being a virgin?" Quinn asked smirking. "I meant with guys...I have never had sex with a guy...thats what I meant..."
Rachel smiled and took Quinn's lips with hers.

That afternoon in Glee Club rehearsal, Mr Schuester wrote the word "Madonna" on the white board in the choir room. Puck sat in between Quinn and Rachel. Rachel kept smiling coyly at her girlfriend.
"What comes to mind when you see that name?"
"Genius"
"Idol"
"Hall of Fame MILF" 'Quinn is a MILF or rather MIAF. She is glowing right now...I need her so badly. Tonight can not come fast enough!' Rachel thought as she stared at Quinn's lips.
"So we are all aware of Madonna's musical and cultural significance which is why this week your assignment is to come up with a Madonna number." Kurt and the girls began chatting in an excited tone while the rest of the boys groaned.
"Mr Schue as a dude Madonna makes me kinda uncomfortable." Puck moaned. "Yeah she's smoking and all but can't some of us do like the guy version of Madonna like Pantera?" Finn asked backing up his old friend.
"Guys, you know it has come to my attention that many of you have not been treating the young ladies of our club very nicely lately. You are disrespectful, bullying, sexist and I hate to say it misogynistic."
"I have no idea what that means" 'Of course you don't' Quinn thought peering at her simple "Ex". 'He kinda reminds me of Kevin Kline in Election. His girlfriend was gay too.'
"When I pulled my hamstring they made my go to a misogynist." 'I wonder if Brittany would date Finn that would totally get him off my back.' Rachel thought to herself.
"What this means is put yourself in their shoes for a change. Culturally Madonna's legacy trancends her music because by and large the subject of her song are about being strong, independent and confident no matter what your sex. But more than anything Madonna's musical message is about equality and that is something I think you guys need to work on." Kurt talked about tackling a multimedia project on Ms. Ciccone.
"I'm still not down and no chick intimidates Puckzilla. I just don't think her music translates to show choir" Puck told the girls in the room.
"Really? Well I for one couldn't disagree more." Rachel got the girls together and the next morning in the auditorium they were going to perform 'Express Yourself'.
The girls practised a quick dance routine that Brittany had come up with and went through the number twelve times until they had it just right. After that was done it was almost 7:30 and they still needed to buy costumes. They hit the mall. Tina split them into 3 groups; Tina and Mercedes, Santana and Brittany, Rachel and Quinn.
The latter headed to a clothing store and Quinn found corsets that looked similar to the ones Madonna wore in the video and they headed towards the dressing room to try them on. "Have you got yours on?" Rachel asked Quinn as she knocked on the dressing room door. "Almost. I need help closing it." Quinn opened the door.
Rachel hurried into the cramped space. Quinn stopped trying to close her corset the second she saw Rachel in her red one. She just stood there slack-jawed. "Wow...Red is definetely your color...mmm..." Quinn grabbed Rachel by the waist and pulled her closer. They melted into a kiss. Rachel cluched Quinn's neck while Quinn's hands travelled down to sides of Rachel and her fingers slid gracefully over the satin fabric. Quinn was unbuttoning her jeans when a fist hit against the changing room door.
KNOCK! "Q, you in here?" Santana asked. The heated couple jumped apart immediately. "What do we do?" Rachel whispered as her heart thumped heavily in her chest and her breathing irregular. "Calm down, I have this covered." Quinn reassured and searched for the blue corset. "Yeah Santana, I'm in here. Can you get me a larger corset...they are on the the rack near the till...this one is too small. Please..." Santana just said "Sure" and the second she left Rachel bolted into the other changing room and tried to control her breathing.
"Rachel you in here." A hushed voice asked. "Yeah, uh, you can come in...I am decent." Rachel opened the door and Santana slid into the room. "You can say that again...You look good in red but it's not sitting right." Rachel immediately panicked, and began trying to adjust the ensemble, hoping Santana wouldn't notice why it "wasn't sitting right" that reason being Quinn's travelling hands.
Rachel had finished her fumbling adjustments and turned to the Latina. "Better?" She asked with worry still dripping from her tongue. Santana tilted her head. "Almost. Here, let me help." Santana got behind Rachel and carefully let her hand slide over Rachel's sides until she got to the diva's breasts. Rachel felt cold hands touch her boobs and fix them into the cups of the corset delicately. Once they were in place the Cheerio smirked. "Now, that's better." Santana smirked. "You look great Berry...I better help Quinn with hers." The Cheerio left a stunned Rachel standing in the changing room completely freaked out.

The next morning they performed the number without a hitch. Rachel in red, Santana in purple and Quinn in a baby blue. The brunette tried to ignore Santana's flirtacious glares in her direction and there were a few. Rachel shimmied at Quinn at the line "And then you know." knowing how much Quinn appreciated the red corset. Quinn got a fantastic view of Rachel's breasts and then by the "Hey, hey" part Quinn was behind Rachel getting a good view of her ass. Quinn even made a pumping gesture at the line "So if you want it right now." hoping that if she girated her hips correctly she could somehow touch Rachel's ass without anyone else seeing. When the song ended Kurt and Mr Schuester clapped loudly and Rachel couldn't help but put her arms around a beaming Quinn.

Rachel chose to spend her lunch break with Finn in the choir room but not because she had any romantic ulterior motives. She just needed his voice.
"Hey Finn, I was coming to find you. Look I know the boys were a little uncomfortable about the Madonna assignment. So I figured you and I as co-captains could do a little mash up of a bunch of her songs to show everybody how cool it can be."
"Yeah sure, whatever, look are you still seeing that Jesse kid."
Rachel wanted him to know she was not available but had to make him believe that. "No, who told you that?"
"I know things have been weird between us but I never thought you would lie to me." 'I always lie to you. In fact we have never had an honest conversation.'
"Please don't tell anyone." 'And the Oscar for "best acting when it comes to getting your ex beard to back off" goes to...'
"Unbelievable." Finn said angerly Rachel looked around for a chair he was likely to kick but there was none in sight.
"We may not be together the way Jesse and I are but we can still be friends. I'm asking you as my friend to trust me." Rachel over emphatised the word "friend" hoping he would get the message.
"Fine but if this leads to something bad for all of us, don't expect anyore friendship from me."
"Noted" Rachel was hoping that if and when her and Jesse broke up she could use that to finally get Finn off her back.
They sang a mash up of Borderline and Open Your Heart .

That night at Rachel's house Quinn had shown up late, a habit that had been forming over the past two weeks. Quinn came in the back door since Leroy and Abraham were out for the night.
"What took you so long?" Rachel asked not even trying to hide the irration in her voice. "I was talking to Puck." Quinn said as she shut the door behind herself.
"About what?"
"The baby. Did I do something wrong?" Quinn asked furrowing her brow.
"Yes, you talk to him about our...about the baby?"
"He is the father...what is up with you?"
"He gets to be a part of her in a way I can't and I want nothing more than to...I feel she is mine but she isn't...she'll never be..."
"She won't be his either! I am giving her up. I told you this before! Just lay off...we were just talking. The same way you and Jesse talk." Quinn's mood swings were im full affect. A surge of anger washed over her.
"At least I haven't had sex with Jesse!" Rachel yelled, poking at the almost healed wound that was Quinn infidelity and making it bleed. Whether wanted it or not, it just poured out and she couldn't stop it.
"Oh, so that's what this is? You are never going to let that go! I was drunk, I had no idea what was going on. I apoligized and you said that you had gotten over it. It meant nothing."
"MEANT NOTHING! You cheated on me...and you live with him and you are carrying his baby! It means something!" Rachel and Quinn were nose to nose.
"You know what fuck Jesse's brains out...because we're through."Quinn shook her head and stormed out of the kitchen slamming the door behind her.
Rachel's head told her to run after Quinn and apoligise but her legs wouldn't move. After two minutes realisation hit and the tears began to flow. Rachel collapsed by her fridge, sobbing. She realised at that moment that maybe she was better knowing that she had never really wept before.
Quinn barely made it to her car before tears rolled down her cheeks and her throat began to constrict. She drove two blocks before putting the car into park and once the vehicle had stopped the weeping began.
Neither girl slept, they cried, wept, curled into the fetal position and prayed the world would take them whole. Quinn wanted to go back and tell herself to calm down to think about what she was saying. She prayed but it seemed like god wasn't listening.
Rachel wanted to not be jealous, she wanted to just get over it all but she couldn't. They had to be even...Rachel began to wonder if she had an affair would that even out the playing field?
The next morning there was no red Buick waiting for Rachel a block from her house, no beautiful blonde kissing her and told her to have a good morning. No blonde smiling coyly at her from her locker. In fact that particular blonde never showed up for school that day.
Quinn told Mrs. Puckerman that she had cramps and that she hadn't slept well. The woman wrote Quinn a note and ran Principal Figgin's to explain and Quinn stayed in the spare room crying and looking at four photobooth pictures, the only proof she had of their relationship. The first two photos they were laughing with wide grins but the second last one Quinn was kissing a beaming Rachel's cheek and in the last one they were kissing. Quinn usually hid the photos in the fake bottom of a jewellery box.
She stared at the last one at thought that she may never kiss those lips again and despair took over her body while 'Glitter in the Air' by Pink played on her iPod. Quinn didn't even try to stop the tears that poured from her eyes. All she knew was that she missed Rachel.
*Hey Rachel, JSJ here, Im sorry. Im in the lib. Yes ur library. meet me.*
Rachel went to the abandoned Library and looked around for Jesse. A book "Sondhiem on Music" fell of the shelves and Rachel found Jesse hiding. He apoligised to her and asked if she had kept the carebear making Rachel's gaydar light up.
"You deserve romance, no you deserve epic romance." Rachel smiled shyly. "I feel badly that I pressured you into...you know going all the way. I am willing to wait. You tell me when you are ready and I will make sure that I am fastidiously groomed." He reached out to hold her face. "So what did you want to tell me?
"I'm ready." He hugged her and the smile she put on falters but it was the only way she could see to level the playing field between her and her soulmate...her everything...her Quinn.

On Friday night Rachel wore a purple nightdress her dads bought her that Quinn never really liked but that was mainly due to the fact it had a cape attached. She was curling her hair in her bathroom while Jesse waited but she couldn't do it. She couldn't willingly cheat on Quinn. It was wrong. She needed to get him to leave. He was getting bored. He had knocked on the door three times already but decided to knock again.
"Just come out so we can talk...or sing about it." Rachel slid the lock out of place and opened the door. "Look Jesse, I really like you but I can't do this it wouldn't be right for..." 'Quinn' "the team."
"What do the team have to do with this?" He sounded just as crabby as the previous week. "If I gave myself to you know that..." 'Quinn' "my team-mates wouldn't approve, it would be like I was sleeping with the enemy. I would be betraying..." 'Her' "them because I am truly not ready to do this I would be betraying myself...I'm sorry can you leave...I don't mean to be rude...sorry Jesse."
Jesse got up and left. Rachel changed into jeans and a t-shirt and headed for the Puckerman household.
Quinn was sitting the guest bedroom looking at the Glee photo in the Thunderclap. She was crying at the image of her girlfriend. She only stopped when she seen a figure by the window. It was Rachel.
Quinn ran to the window and opened it to find Rachel clutching the treliss outside the window with all her will. "Help" Rachel pleaded and Quinn offered her hand and soon had the brunette in the safety of the room.
"I'm sorry...I..." Quinn wasted no time in capturing those plump pink lips with heer own. "Don't apoligise. It my fault...God...I missed you."
After 10 minutes elapsed of just kissing the girls took a break on Quinn's bed cuddling. "I'm sorry I get jealous...I always will when it come to you and its not fair...I even told Jesse I would sleep with him so we could be even but I could never do that...soberly. You were drunk and Noah took advantage of your drunken state...I am sorry I use that moment of weakness against you...and I am sorry sor always bringing up the baby...I know you are giving her up for adoption. I just love you so much Quinn"
"You almost slept with Drama Queen?"
"No...I was fully clothed and so was he...we didn't even kiss...thats all you heard from that?"
Quinn smirked and pulled Rachel even closer to her body. "No. I am sorry too for leaving you out. Puck and I were arguing about names...not that it really matters but his ideas were worse than 'Drizzle'. So I would love to hear any ideas you have." Rachel beamed and held Quinn's bump. Happy that Quinn was including her.
"What about Barbara?"
"No"
"Celine?
"No."
"Greta like Greta Garbo."
"No."
"What about Raquel?"
"Raquel?"
"Yes it is Rachel with a Q in the core of it."
"You are such a little pervert, I can't use that now."
They giggled into the night and only departed when the clock struck eleven and Rachel was late for curfew.

On Monday in Glee rehearsal Rachel was sorting out sheet music by the piano when Finn approached her.
"So how did your date with Jesse go on Friday night?" He asked nosily. Rachel wanted him to think that she and Jesse were serious so she lied againto the dim-witted boy. "It went wonderfully. Honestly it wasn't that big of a deal. It was great but when it was over I just, uh, wasn't sure why I was so nervous in the first place." Rachel avoided his puppy dog eyes. "I'm happy for you." Rachel simply nodded at him. She wanted him gone but she had to ask.
"An, uh, what about you? I heard you had a date with Santana on Friday night." She didn't even look up. "Yeah I couldn't go through with it." Rachel looked annoyed. He turned down Santana it didn't make any sense. "Why?" She asked bluntly. He smiled a bashful smile. "I guess I am waiting on the right person." Rachel wanted to tell him to jut ask Kurt out because if he was single and turned down a willing Santana, he must be gay.
What Rachel didn't know was that Santana took his virginity in 74 seconds and for half of that he chanted "mailman" over and over to himself.
Rachel never got to suggest Finn to go out with Kurt because Mr Schuester dropped the bomb. Jesse transferred schools and was the newest member of New Directions.
Rachel and Quinn attended the Pep rally only to find Kurt and Mercedes had joined the Cheerios and afterwards Finn tried to be nice to Jesse including him in the new production he had been working on for "Like a Prayer."
And that's what you MISSED last time on Glee.
Long Authors Note with Questions:
So what did y'all think? Home only has 3 Rachel scenes and two are her in the backgound and one she is an adorable cupcake. So what do y'all think of more background on the girls or just a short chapter?
Sorry about the Finn bashing actually no I'm not. Also if you are thinking the Santana/Rachel/changing room thing would never happen in the real world you would be wrong. A girl who had a crush on me did that to me in drama club, three weeks after she tried to kiss me...she was a bit...Suzy Peppers...
Sorry for breaking them up but I figured Rachel wouldn't agree to sleep with Jesse otherwise.
Quick Question: Should I do Season 2? I have some ideas...
