A/N: A reviewer of mine has informed me that I have been calling one of Rachel's dad's by a different name so I went back and checked and the reviewer was correct. I apologize to all of you that have become confused over it. Rachel's dad's names are Mason and James (Not Jason). I will go back and edit previous chapters when I have the time, but from here on out it's Mason and James…so sorry for the confusion, now on with the chapter.
Chapter Nine: Somewhere in Cleveland
Beth woke up to someone knocking on her bedroom door. She didn't like it one bit. It was Saturday morning and she did not want to be up right now, at all. But apparently the person on the other side of the door didn't care because they wouldn't stop knocking.
Beth groans and gets out of bed. She opens the door with a glare. Lucy stands behind it with a smile on her face and a gleam in her eye.
"Mom says it's time to get up. You can't waste your Saturday in bed."
"I don't like you right now," Beth says with a glare.
Lucy's smile fades.
"Don't shoot me, I'm the just the messenger."
Beth sighs and apologizes.
"I'm sorry. Let me grab a shower and I'll be right down."
Lucy nods her head and runs down the stairs. Beth closes her door and flops down on her bed. She had been living with Rachel, Quinn and Lucy for a week and so far everything seemed okay. Jason, the ass who her sister had beaten up was still pressing charges meaning that Beth would have to go to court in a few days. She still wouldn't let Lucy take the fall.
Quinn has been trying her hardest to make everything right until Beth had complained and said that Quinn was trying too hard and that it was just time to let things happen when they happened.
Rachel was just happy that her girls were happy.
-Friend to a Stranger-
Beth walks into the kitchen freshly showered. Rachel and Quinn were making breakfast and Lucy was busy setting the table.
"I talked to my lawyer early this morning," Quinn mentions as she turns away from the stove to let her wife take over. "He says that we're going to court in a few days."
Lucy glances at Beth who shakes her head. Quinn raises an eyebrow at the interaction, but brushes it off to continue talking.
"He wants to speak to you about what happened at the party. He wants all of the facts."
"It's not a problem," Beth says like it was no care in the world. "Just set it up."
Quinn smiles and nods her head.
"Is it done babe?" Quinn questions.
"Yes it is," Rachel responds before pecking her wife on the lips. "Can you bring it to the table?"
"Sure thing."
Beth looks at Lucy who just smiles.
"They're so domestic."
Quinn threw a piece of bread at her Lucy.
"Hey!"
"No making fun of your parents."
Rachel and Quinn make their way to the table and everyone digs into their meal.
-Friend to a Stranger-
In Cleveland, Ohio, a blonde haired woman cuddles closer to the man lying in her bed. He had two tattoos on his arm, on the left the word Lucy was written and on the right the word Beth was written.
The man wraps his arm around the girl and sighs contently.
"Who's Beth and Lucy?" the girl whispers into the morning air.
"It's hard to explain," the man says in a rough voice. "They are a part of me."
"Are they your kids?"
"Technically they are, but I'm not really a part of their lives. With Beth it's a different situation then with Lucy, but they are both my girls."
The girl sits up in bed and frowns at the man who sits up as well.
"How come you don't talk about your past? I mean we are in a relationship and normally this would entail us to speak about our pasts."
"Gina, what do you want me to say? My past isn't anything good. The past is the past it should stay there."
"Noah, I don't believe that for a second."
"I was sixteen and I slept with my best friend's girlfriend. My best friend is Rachel Berry," Gina's eyes widen in surprise. She was a fan of Rachel's. "Yes, the Rachel Berry and her girlfriend was Quinn Fabray. We were drunk and Quinn and Rachel were kind of on the outs so to speak, but it wasn't okay. You never go after your friend's girl. Quinn ended up pregnant and we gave our daughter up for adoption. I don't even know if her name is Beth, but that's the name that I wanted and I got it tattooed on my skin as permanent reminder of the daughter that I don't know."
"I'm sorry Noah. I didn't realize."
"I'm not finished. Rachel and I were never the same after that, but a few years later, Rachel and Quinn were married and decided to have kids on their own and I never knew their thought process, but they decided that I should be the donor. They were my friends and couldn't say no. I never thought I would be in a relationship that had the possibility in turning into something more so I figured why not. It may be the only way I have kids. I only talk to Lucy once or twice a year. I was never really her father. She doesn't have one."
Gina sighs and lies back down in bed.
"My past is nothing like that."
Noah chuckles and shakes his head.
"Most people's pasts aren't, but that's okay. I needed to talk about it, thank you."
"Have you ever thought of finding Beth?"
"I think about Beth everyday and the truth is I don't think I could handle seeing her. I gave her up. I wanted to keep her, but Quinn would've freaked out. It would've been hard on her so I let Beth go and that was that."
"You should look into finding her and maybe making amends for the things that you have done in the past."
"I'm not ready for that yet."
"Noah, if you aren't ready now? Will you ever be?"
A/N: I know it's a short chapter, but hey you can't blame me for wanting to update this can you? At least you get something to read. I promise the next one will be longer and as you can tell by this chapter that Puck will be making an appearance. Also, Puck may seem out of character, actually all of my characters are out of character and it's done for a reason. High school is over, people grow up and they change.
Any other Glee members you would like to see let me know? You could even give me their back story because that would help when I'm writing this.
