A/N: So, here we are at the final chapter. First off I just think it's only fair to thank anyone and everyone who has reviewed, favourited or just followed the story. It brings a smile to my face every time I see a new email telling me that I have another person has liked reading this story.

So, for the final time in this fic I will say to you... Read and Review! Also, I hadn't really thought about a sequel, but Caseyrn suggested it (you are way too good to me, greatly appreciated though) so I am thinking about it. If anyone else tells me that they think I should then it'll probably increase the chances but until then it's a maybe.

Quinn POV (So it starts with... so shall it end)

-/-

Quinn was absolutely furious. How the hell did that creep think he was? First he insults her and says she is evil and then he starts kissing her girlfriend. She had let Rachel talk to Finn in private so she could let him down easily and so she wouldn't have to put up with him. Quinn expected him to hit on Rachel and bag Quinn, she would gladly take all that but what she wouldn't put up with was anyone touching her girl anywhere.

One of the best and worst things about what was happening was that Rachel was visibly struggling to try and free herself of Finn. It was good because it meant that Rachel knew she was her girl and no one else's. It was bad because it meant that Finn was still kissing her girl friend and wasn't letting her go.

Quinn walked up to where the two were still kissing. Well Finn was kissing, Rachel was desperately trying to twist her head and pull away to no avail. When Finn finally released Rachel, she looked immediately to Quinn who was doing all she could to stop herself from jumping on top of Finn and either punching or kicking whatever bit of flesh she could get close enough to.

Quinn calmed a little when Rachel moved to stand between the blonde and the bumbling football player. She was facing Quinn with the most devastatingly cute 'I'm so sorry' face Quinn had seen in her life. She was calming down a bit at the sight of it before she heard something that put her over the edge.

"See Rachel? Quinn is unstable and evil. I'm not dating you anymore!" He directed the last part at Quinn. Quinn lunged at Finn but Rachel's arms wrapped around her.

"Please Quinn; I don't want to see you get hurt. Don't worry about what he says." Rachel whispered in her ear. Quinn slumped for a second into Rachel. It was true, if she started a fight she would only get herself hurt or locked in detention. She thought for a second. Finn wasn't going to stop pestering Rachel until she went out with him so in Quinn's eyes there was only one option.

"I'm so sorry Rachel, but I... I love you and he needs to leave you alone." Quinn knew Rachel was going to hate this, but she needed to do it for both of them. Rachel seemed to be too taken aback to realise Quinn was going to do something she knew Rachel wouldn't like.

"I love you too Quinn." Quinn smiled before she leaned down and took Rachel's lips into her own. After the initial shock of it Rachel started kissing back. Quinn forgot everything that was happening except for her and Rachel and lost herself in Rachel's lips and her kiss. Rachel seemed to lose herself as well because her kiss was becoming more and more heated. Quinn only stopped when she heard a pencil drop that brought her back to reality.

Quinn felt Rachel lower her face to her shoulder and nuzzle against her which indicated to Quinn that Rachel was letting her have free reign and that she was to take care of the situation. She turned with Rachel in her arms, which she didn't remember putting around the diva, to face a shocked looking Finn.

"Now Finn," Quinn started in a falsely sweet voice that struck fear into anyone who heard it. "Or anyone else for that matter," she continued noting the other people in the hallway watching. "This is Rachel. She is my girlfriend. Anyone who is mean to her will pay. Anyone who thinks they can try and take her away from me will wish they were never born. I'm going to let you off with a warning Finn, but if you ever try anything on Rachel again I will make you suffer." He still looked shocked but collected himself.

"Don't play these games with Rachel, Quinn, because she deserves better." He spat.

"I'm not playing any games with her Hudson. I love her and will do anything to be with her." Rachel squeezed her tighter.

"Bull shit. You have been mean to her ever since you have known her. Don't lie. What do you even have to gain by saying you love her?" Even though what Finn was saying was true, it still angered Quinn more than she thought possible.

"I'm not lying. I don't have to prove I love her to you anyway. It's me and the girl I love, it has nothing to do with you." Quinn retorted. Finn seemed to give up on calling Quinn out so instead he addressed Rachel in a much softer and calmer voice.

"Rachel you don't really believe this do you? She has been mean to you since you have known each other and now all of a sudden she loves you? It doesn't make any sense. Even if she did love you she doesn't deserve you. She's evil and a liar and a manipulator. You deserve someone who doesn't lie and cheat to get what they want." Finn said softly.

"Don't you dare fucking speak about my girlfriend like that. I love her and she was right, this has nothing to do with you. This is between me and the girl I love." Rachel sounded lethal and Quinn would have been scared if Rachel wasn't on her side. Unfortunately, Finn didn't pick up on her tone. Either that or he just plain ignored her.

"Rachel, your being stupid. If this is some attempt to get my attention it worked, so let's just go out again and be happy. We can forget about Quinn." Finn told Rachel, though it pushed Quinn over the edge. She jumped forward and slapped Finn with all she had.

"You did not just dare ask my girlfriend out?" It was more of a threat than a question. Finn seemed daze by the slap and did not register the girl talking for a little bit. He shook his head.

"Did you just slap me?" He looked incredulous and a red handprint was starting to become visible on the side of his face.

"So what if I did? You ask my girlfriend out again and I'll hit you harder." Quinn spat.

"Would you stop calling her your girlfriend? I'm not stupid. She just wants to get me jealous. So come on Rach. I'll take you out to Breadstix or something." He said. This time Quinn really wanted to hurt him so she kneed him in the groin. There was also the sound of a slap. Quinn noticed that Rachel had slapped him as well. Finn doubled over and hit the ground in pain.

"I warned you. You ask her out again and I swear I will put you in a body bag." Quinn threatened.

"You insult my girlfriend one more time and I will get Santana to kill you after I beat the living crap out of you. I would kill you myself but I would want you to suffer." Rachel added. Quinn grabbed Rachel's hand and stalked away. When they were around the corner she stopped.

"I am so sorry Rachel. I didn't want everyone to find out like this, but I couldn't let Finn or anyone think that they had a shot with you." Rachel pulled her into a hug.

"It's okay Quinn. It was probably best everyone found out and now that we just left Finn on the floor with bruises and marks all over him, I don't think we will have all that many haters."

"I'm still sorry." Quinn whispered.

"Then later you can make it up to me." Rachel husked back.

"We'd better go to class." Quinn said as she pulled away. Rachel gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before heading to her class.

Quinn and Rachel went about their day fairly regularly, with the exception of being more touchy feely when they were near each other. Sure there were whispers, but most of them were how the two of them had bashed Finn. Rachel had been right... everyone was too scared of them to say anything.

Quinn knew the real trial was yet to come, the glee club. She had made sure to get to Rachel's locker at the end of the day so that they could go to glee together. When they arrived the room was still fairly empty with only Santana, Brittany and Tina in it. When they saw the two girls enter the cheerleaders broke into grins while Tina looked frightened that they would turn on her.

"Can I go and bash Finnept too?" Santana asked eagerly.

"No. I think he got the message." Quinn stated.

"Awww. No fair. You got to."

"It couldn't be avoided. Tina," Quinn said softly. All it did was make the other girl look even more frightened. "It's okay, were still the same people. We aren't going to hurt you. It's just that now me and Rachel are together, which is a good thing. Right?" Quinn sounded like she was explaining it to a 3 year old.

"Yep. Of course it's a good thing. Especially seeing you two balance each other out." Tina still looked nervous but seemed to realise as long as she went along with whatever the other four said she'd be alright. Quinn nodded and took a seat. Rachel took the seat next to her and once she was seated, Quinn dragged the chair protectively closer to her own.

A few minutes later everyone filed in. Finn was walking a little funny which made Quinn a little proud, and everyone gave them an odd look as they walked to their seats. Finally Mr Shue walked in. What he said first was fairly unexpected.

"Congratulations to Quinn and Rachel. Not only have they managed to push past their differences but have grown to like these things about each other." He smiled at the two of them in the front row and they were now holding hands.

"Is this whole place mad?" Finn asked loudly. Quinn made to get up and bash the living crap out of him but Rachel pulled her back down.

"Just leave it Quinn." She whispered into her ear.

"Finn I don't like that kind of attitude. We should be happy for them not at their throats." Mr. Shue continued.

"Thank-you Mr. Shue." Rachel said quite graciously.

"I personally think that it is good that they are together. Strange, so very, very strange, but good." Kurt supplied.

"Did you get me to rig up that tree for a date?" Sam asked Quinn. Quinn nodded. "Sweet. I'm behind you guys too by the way."

"Me too." That was Mercedes. There was a generally murmur of 'me too's and 'we got your back's from the rest of the group.

"Thanks everyone." Rachel said. Mr. Shue began the lesson and as Rachel nuzzled into her chest, Quinn knew that as long as she had Rachel and the glee club behind her, nothing else would matter.

A/N: So again, let me know if you want a sequel and either way, this is Stem signing off for the last time in Loving My Berries.
