Chapter Five: The Truth Comes Out
Beth pulls away from Sara with a happy smile. They were currently lying on Beth's bed snuggled close together. It had been a week since Sara first kissed Beth and by now it was a pretty regular thing. They haven't labeled whatever they had as anything serious, but Beth liked Sara and figured she would take this as far as she could hoping not to get hurt in the process.
Sara taps Beth's forehead with her finger.
"I can practically hear you thinking, what are you worried about?" Sara asks gently.
"A lot of things really, but mostly I was thinking about you, about us."
Sara grins happily at Beth.
"What about us?"
"I never thought I would be dating a cheerleader," Beth sees the frown on Sara's face so she kisses it away. "I'm the outsider and you're popular. It won't work out, but I want it to."
"Do you know the story about Lucy's parents?"
"Rachel and Quinn right?" Beth asks.
Sara nods her head and sits up.
"I did some research, I've looked at the McKinley year books and apparently Rachel and Quinn hated each other. Quinn lost her father and Rachel was the only one that cared enough to stay with her. But the strangest thing is that I've seen Quinn's Glee yearbook photo, she was pregnant," Beth looks up at Sara. "It wasn't Lucy, the math doesn't work, but someone else fits the math." Sara traces Beth's tattoo on her wrist. "You know that already don't you?"
Beth lies back down and nods her head.
"It didn't take too long to figure out. My rival, your best friend, is my damn sister."
"What are you going to do?"
"Have dinner with them tonight."
-Friend to a Stranger-
Quinn continues to stare at her wife in shock. Rachel had just told Quinn everything she knew about Beth Noel, including the fact that Beth is the same Beth that Quinn gave up sixteen years ago which means this dinner isn't just a normal dinner.
"Why tell me now?" Quinn asks softly. "Why now? An hour before we have to have dinner?"
"When you look into Beth's eyes, you'll know. I did and if the tattoo isn't another sign then I don't know what is."
"Rachel, how am I going to do this? How can I face her after what I did?"
Rachel scoots closer to her wife and brings their foreheads to rest against each other.
"Play it casual. I don't know if Beth know or not, but soon we are going to have to tell Lucy that she has a sister. She'll throw a fit because we've kept it away from her for so many years, but we'll live with it. Right now, we are going to go to dinner and meet Beth. That's what we are going to do, okay?"
Quinn nods her head and kisses Rachel smack on the lips. Outside of the room Lucy's fists clench. She couldn't believe what she had overheard. She had a fucking sister and it was the weirdo at school.
-Friend to a Stranger-
Mason answered the door with a smile on his face. Rachel and Quinn walked inside hand in hand with Lucy close behind them. Judging by the look on Quinn's face Mason knew that Rachel had told Quinn so he didn't know how this was going to play out.
"How is my wonderful family?"
"We're good dad," Rachel says sweetly as she got out of her jacket and hung it up on the rack.
"Well dinner is just about finished. I was on my way up to get Beth and Sara."
Lucy furrowed her eyebrows and stepped forward.
"What is Sara doing here?"
"She's here with Beth. Excuse me; I'll just be a minute."
Quinn turned to Lucy with a frown.
"You will behave."
"Or what? Are you afraid I'm going to tell Beth that we share mothers?"
Rachel closes her eyes when she spots three figures at the end of the stairs as soon as Lucy had said those words. Mason coughs uncomfortable and Sara grasps Beth's hand harder. Lucy looks up and winces and Quinn follows their gaze, right to Beth, her daughter.
"I already knew," Beth says before dragging Sara away and to the table.
"God are whole family is messed up," Lucy says angrily as she goes to the table.
Mason follows silently and Rachel wraps her arms around Quinn.
"It's really Beth."
"I know," Rachel whispers. "I know."
-Friend to a Stranger-
Dinner was a quiet affair in the Berry household. Everyone kept glancing at Beth and Quinn who had both been avoiding looking at each other. When their eyes did lock it was only for a second before someone looked away, usually it was Beth.
"So, Beth how do you like McKinley?" Rachel asks starting off the first conversation in fifteen minutes.
"It's good I guess minus the slushies," Beth said as she glances at Lucy who just smirks at her.
"You should try getting your own friends."
Beth glances at Lucy and smirks.
"Maybe you should get friends that actually like you," Beth replies back. Sara chuckles and grabs Beth's hand from under the table.
"Lucy, could you act a little more civil," Quinn says as she looks at Lucy.
"Um, no, just because she's your bastard child doesn't mean anything to me."
Beth stands up from the table and walks out the door.
"That was uncalled for," Sara says before dropping her napkin on her plate and following where Beth had left.
"Dad, daddy, can you leaves us alone for a few minutes?" Quinn asks as she continues to stare at her daughter.
"Um sure, we'll just be in our room," James says as he grabs his husbands hand and they leave the room.
"What the hell is a matter with you?" Quinn asks hotly.
"You lying to me for fifteen years may be a part of it."
"Lucy I was sixteen years old, I made a mistake and I was scared. I was nineteen when I had you and you were planned. Beth wasn't. I was still in high school and you're mom and I weren't even dating at the time. We were broken up. But you have more in common with Beth than you think." Lucy rolls her eyes and Quinn continues while her wife rubs her back comfortingly. "You share not only me, but your father as well." Lucy looks up and sighs.
"We're not half related, we're fully related," Lucy mentions.
"Yep, we talked Noah when we started a family and he said he would help if we wanted him to and we did," Rachel states honestly. "We kept Beth from you because we honestly didn't think we would see her ever again, but as the fates have it we did. We're sorry we didn't tell you, but we didn't know how."
"I always wondered why Beth was tattooed on your ankle," Lucy mentions as she glances at Quinn.
Quinn nods her head.
"I know I can't make up for not telling you, but I want you to please tone down what you are doing to Beth. She doesn't deserve it."
"I'll try."
Quinn smiles, "That's all I ask and if you'll excuse me, I think it's time for me to actually sit down and finally talk to Beth."
Rachel and Lucy watch as Quinn walks out of the room.
