A/N - Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Chapter 33 - Sleeping on a Tour bus

Rachel and Quinn spent the morning in bed, their lovemaking soft and tender. Quinn felt like her lover was paying homage to her body. Every touch was a caress and every kiss was longing, there was no part of Quinn's body that Rachel didn't grace with her soft lips and tongue. Every slow thrust of the brunette's hips sent tingles up and down Quinn's spine as she ran her hands down Rachel's arms, feeling her toned muscles twitch under her touch. Rachel had been exercising and training extra hard for the past couple months so her body and stamina would be in top shape for the tour. And Quinn would be the first to say her girlfriend looked fucking hot! She was all lean muscle, with enough strength to easily pound Quinn against the wall while the blonde had her legs wrapped tightly around the brunette's waist. And that sex was hard and long and… completely orgasmic.

Quinn felt Rachel's hard member filling her up and stretching her oh so nicely. And every time the brunette would pull out, Quinn would feel this incredible sense of emptiness, but it only lasted a moment before Rachel would slowly fill her back up to the hilt. Her lover felt so good inside of her that Quinn never wanted to be separated.

But this particular morning was like nothing the blonde had ever felt before; there was such intensity in every emotion that she could barely understand the meaning of it all. She felt the overwhelming love Rachel had for her body and soul.

With the bedroom slowly filling with sunlight, both of their bodies were sweaty and their chests were heaving. Quinn was so close to exploding.

Rachel ran one hand gently over Quinn's breasts and down to her clit, all the while their tongues danced with each other. Quinn moaned as Rachel's flavor and scent filled her senses.

Their rhythm was slow and so painfully delicious; Quinn was losing her mind.

Rachel flipped them over and Quinn happily rode her cock, setting the pace slightly faster than before. She could feel the pressure in her lower abs as Rachel stretched her. She was steadily climbing with every movement; and when Rachel began to palm her breasts, Quinn was so close her eyes were rolling to the back of her head.

Rachel sat up and crashed her lips to her lover's, devouring her tongue so easily. She ran her tongue over Quinn's and sucked on the tip.

As Quinn neared her orgasm, she began to ride Rachel harder. Running her hands down the brunette's back, needing to feel her perfect body as close as she could; she wanted to be a part of Rachel and was going crazy with need and lust as it all mixed together into a perfect storm.

"Baby, I'm so close," Rachel rasped out, sucking on Quinn's earlobe.

"Me too, so close… so close," Quinn replied, wrapping her arms around Rachel's neck and pulling her even closer.

Closer, she needed her closer.

With one last nip of her earlobe, Quinn lost it. She lost all control and saw stars. Her body was tingling, toes curling, and her head fell back in complete ecstasy.

Rachel licked the sweat dripping down her lover's neck and their hooded eyes connected. Quinn felt Rachel's cock twitch inside her as she rode her just a little bit harder. Rachel's hands gripped Quinn's hips tightly, her fingernails digging into the soft creamy flesh as she exploded inside her. They were breathing so hard; the only option was to fall over onto the bed.

Quinn noticed how bad their sheets were all twisted and tangled around their bodies, making her laugh.

"What?" Rachel huffed as she wrapped her arm around her girlfriend's shoulders and pulled her down to lay on her chest.

"I was just looking at our sheets."

Rachel glanced down and had to laugh too. "We seem to have made a mess of our bed."

"In more ways than one," the blonde wiggled her eyebrows at her lover.

Rachel ran her hands down her own stomach and felt the sticky residue, "As much as I love your juices all over my body, babe, I think it's time we took a shower."

"Me first!" Quinn called as she quickly detached her body from Rachel's and leaped off the bed.

"Oh, you wanna play it that way, do you?" Rachel said slyly. "We'll just see about that." She easily caught up to the blonde and wrapped her arms around her waist, swinging her around in a circle, all the while Quinn giggling. And to hear her girlfriend giggle, was so amazing for Rachel since it was not a regular occurrence for the blonde to let that side of her personality free.

"I love you," Quinn whispered once her body was still, her face nuzzled in Rachel's neck.

"I love you too baby," Rachel kissed her forehead, "now let's get clean."

While in the shower they may or may not have taken an extra twenty minutes or so to unceremoniously fuck against the cold shower wall tiles. Quinn's heels dug into Rachel's ass as the brunette lifted and ploughed into her. And Quinn may or may not have achieved three more orgasms during their little romp.

But could you blame them? They were just about to be stuck on a bus for a couple weeks with a three year old sleeping in their bed with them. They had to get in as much sex as possible before they left!

~~~~~QR~~~~~

"Pack! Pack! Pack!" Jaxon kept chanting as he ran around the house, his arms waving above his head. Needless to say, the three year old was anxious to get his suitcase ready and hit the road.

"Mijo, calm down!" Santana urged, catching the little boy around his waist as he tore through the kitchen. She had never seen Jaxon so… spastic - and that was saying something.

"But, Tana!" he whined. "Me go bye bye! Need pack!"

Santana had to chuckle at his adorableness. "Well… can I at least help you pack? Your Mama gave me a list of the things you need."

His face brightened instantly and he nodded his head.

She carried him upstairs and set him down in his bedroom. "Okay, Jax. First…" she pulled out the piece of paper Quinn had given her, "Okay… according to your Mama's list, we need to get out your suitcases."

Jaxon went straight over to the closet and pulled out two dark green suitcases with wheels and pull-out handles to pull them. He took them over to his bed and unzipped them. "'Kay," he told her, waiting for the next instruction.

"You will need eight shirts."

He hurried over to his dresser, digging through the drawers to find the shirts he wanted, then dropping them in one of the suitcases. This went on for the next twenty minutes as Santana read down the list, making sure everything got crossed off.

Down the hall in Rachel and Quinn's room, they were also getting everything together for the tour.

Quinn was collecting her makeup and hair care products while Rachel finished packing her clothes.

The singer walked out of the closet carrying a few pairs of jeans and tossed them into her suitcase. She pondered for a moment then made her way back into the closet, coming out with a handful of shirts, most of them quite revealing.

Quinn was just exiting the bathroom when she saw what her girlfriend was carrying. She grabbed one of the shirts from Rachel's hands, holding it up to examine. "Come on, sweetie! Seriously?!"

Rachel looked at the shirt the blonde was holding up. She didn't see anything wrong with it. It was a silky navy blue, sleeveless shirt with rips and slashes all over it. "What? What's wrong with it?"

"What's wrong?! Rachel, I know what you look like in this shirt. Do realize that your breasts are completely exposed when you angle your body a certain way?"

The singer looked at it again and reluctantly agreed with her girlfriend. It had always been one of her favorite shirts, but she had to admit that it was pretty inappropriate. And since her talk with her mother, Rachel was determined to show Quinn that she wasn't the young rebel rockstar she had once been.

~~~~~QR~~~~~

Rachel was talking with Tina outside their tour bus, waiting for everyone to arrive.

It was finally the day to kick off the New Directions' tour and everyone was excited. The guys had already shuffled into their bus, Kurt adamant in riding with them instead of with the rest of the wardrobe crew. Even though there were very few things he liked less than a bunch of smelly boys, at least he would be able to be close to Blaine.

Shading her eyes from the bright sun and looking over to the car just pulling up, Rachel grinned as she saw Quinn and Jaxon get out.

As the little brunette boy reached her at what seemed to be a hundred miles per hour, she scooped him up into a tight bear hug. "Are you ready for this, Jax?" she asked him.

He nodded furiously. "Ready!" He looked at Tina who had an amused smile on her face. "Tina, me saw your room."

Tina's eyebrow arched. "Oh you did, did you?"

"Uh huh," he said as serious as could be. "It pretty."

Tina had to chuckled. Only Rachel Berry's son would describe a room as "pretty".

"All right!" Rachel called out, "Let's do this!" She grabbed Quinn's hand and carried Jaxon over to their bus. When they reached the steep stairs, she set him down to climb up them, then motioned for Quinn to follow their son. She glanced over her shoulder at Tina. "Are you ready for this, T?"

"As ready as I'll ever be. It's definitely going to be entertaining," she said laughing and following the singer up the stairs.

"Mama, this fun!" Jaxon exclaimed as he ran back and forth around their new temporary home.

Quinn had to laugh at the mega grin on her son's face. "Yeah? You think you'll like staying in here for a couple weeks?" she questioned him.

He flung himself on the leather couch, his eyes bright with excitement. "Uh huh!"

"Good. I'm glad." She kneeled down next to the couch and gently rubbed their noses together in an Eskimo kiss and pulled him into her embrace. "I think it's going to be fun too. Especially since we get to be with your mom."

Rachel and Tina entered the bus, followed by a middle-aged man with short black hair and a natural smile.

"Hello, you must be Quinn," the man said as he reached out his hand to the blonde. "My name's Joey Turner… I'll be driving the bus for the entire tour. Rachel told me you and this little fellow here would be joining us for a few weeks." He gazed down at Jaxon.

Quinn had to smile. Of course Rachel would have a bus driver that was bubbly and friendly. "Yes, I'm Quinn. It's nice to meet you, Joey," she said, shaking his hand.

"And what's your name?" he asked, patting Jaxon on the head.

"Jaxon Berry 'Bray," Jaxon replied excitedly and shook the man's large hand.

Joey chuckled. "Well, Jaxon, I'm glad you're here. Us boys are out-numbered on this bus," he teased. "How would you like to come see the driver's seat?"

If possible, Jaxon's face lit up even more. He looked at Quinn, silently asking for permission.

"Go ahead," she encouraged him.

And that was all he needed before he was off and by Joey's side.

While Jaxon was being entertained and Tina had headed up to her bedroom to do some work, Rachel and Quinn curled up on the couch together.

"So, how's my girl doing?" Rachel questioned, wrapping an arm around her girlfriend.

"Good… excited," Quinn responded with a twinkle in her hazel eyes.

"Yeah. Me too," she agreed, "It's going to be great. I can feel it."

"Well, I sure hope so…" Quinn teased.

"I know it will, trust me." Rachel planted a kiss on the blonde's temple and snuggled closer. While they both had nerves and worries about doing this, they knew that it would all be worth it because they were doing it together with their beautiful son, and that was more than they could ever hope for.

~~~~~QR~~~~~

The first few hours on the bus were turbulent, to say the least. None of them were used to walking or lying down in a moving vehicle, but they managed after the first hours passed.

Jaxon had already explored the entire bus twice, ate lunch with ice cream for dessert - much to Quinn's dismay because she knew it was going to turn into straight sugar. And Jaxon on sugar was worse than any drug.

But luckily, perhaps it had something to do with the rocking of the bus, Jaxon conked out for a nap right after lunch and slept for three hours. when he woke up, he happily played with some of his toys while Quinn and Rachel watched a movie.

They arrived in Las Vegas late that evening. Jaxon had already had dinner and was in bed by the time the bus pulled up to the MGM Grand Hotel.

Tina went into the hotel to acquire all their room keys. The boys all grabbed their bags and headed inside, some to try their luck at gambling, others to go straight to bed.

But Quinn and Rachel decided that since Jaxon was already sleeping peacefully, they would just stay in the bus for the night. They gave each other goodnight kisses and crawled into bed next to their son.

~~~~~QR~~~~~

It was still early in the morning when Rachel kissed Quinn's cheek and Jaxon's forehead as they slept. Tina had set up a meeting with the band inside the auditorium to go over everything that was going to happen for the next three days while they were in Las Vegas.

The singer quietly made her way out of the bus, making sure it was securely locked.

"Good morning, Matt," she greeted her bodyguard who was standing just outside the bus door.

Matt grinned at the obviously chipper singer. "Good morning, Rachel. You look… happy today."

Rachel laughed at the man's inability to find the right words. "I have to say that I am. It's incredible to have Quinn and Jaxon here with me. For the past couple months I had been dreading leaving them, so to have them here with me is wonderful."

"Well, I'm glad they're here too. Jaxon already seems to have the whole crew and band in a better mood," he observed.

The night before, when the buses stopped to refuel, the little boy had talked Rachel into letting him visit the bus where the road crew were staying. And to say he was a natural entertainer was a vast understatement! He had joked around and danced and even sang for the crew. And when Quinn had told him that it was time to move back to their bus for dinner and bed, the little performer brought out his famous pout, causing the crew to 'awww' at his cuteness, and Quinn to just roll her eyes.

"He's a Berry," Rachel said to her bodyguard with obvious pride.

"That he is," Matt chuckled. "Is he and Quinn still sleeping?"

Rachel nodded. "Yeah. It's still pretty early and it took a while to get Jaxon to bed last night since I swear the crew hopped him up on more sugar."

Matt laughed, he wouldn't be surprised. "Well, I'll stay out here and make sure no one bothered them."

The singer have him a grateful smile. "Thank you, Matt. I really appreciate you protecting them."

"It's no trouble at all."

As Rachel started walking toward the large building, Matt called out, "Oh, and Rachel?"

She turned around to face him. "Yeah?"

"Thanks for the raise. Jocelyn and I are both grateful, especially with the baby coming in four months and all."

Rachel grinned, walking back to him and giving him a hug. "It's my pleasure. And you have definitely earned it over these past several months."

"I'll keep Quinn and Jaxon safe, I promise," he told her with conviction.

"I know you will," she said before turning and heading inside the building.

~~~~~QR~~~~~

"Mama, wake up!"

"Hmm?... What?" Quinn mumbled, turning over and burying her head into her soft pillow.

Jaxon giggled then climbed on his mother's back, sitting on her like he was the king of the world. "It morning! Mom 'Chel gone. Go see her!" he exclaimed, beginning to softly bounce.

"Ugh," Quinn groaned at the weight on her back. "Fine, but we have to eat breakfast first and get regular clothes on."

After a quick breakfast where Quinn managed to get Jaxon to eat a bowl of cereal all the while him jumping around in excitement, they changed into shorts and tank tops. She had just finished tying his shoes and he was up and headed toward the bus door.

Quinn just chuckled to herself and followed him.

"Oh! Good morning, Matt!" Quinn said in surprise at seeing the bodyguard. "What are you doing out here?"

"Good morning, Quinn. Hey, Jaxon!" he greeted. "I told Rachel that I would stay out here with you guys until you decided to head inside."

Quinn smiled at his thoughtfulness. "Why, thank you. I appreciate that."

"Matt! Matt!" Jaxon exclaimed, hopping up and down on the pavement.

Matt bent down to Jaxon's level. "What is it, little man?"

"Go see Mom 'Chel!"

The bodyguard chuckled. "You got it! Let's go!"

Quinn grabbed onto her son's hand before he could run away, and they followed Matt into the large building. She was amazed at how big it was and was grateful Matt was leading the way otherwise she would have definitely gotten lost.

They walked down several hallways before stopping in front of one of the large conference rooms. Matt opened the door and poked his head in to make sure they weren't interrupting an important meeting.

At the sound of the door opening, Rachel looked up from her place at the long table to see her bodyguard. A big smile covered her face as she asked, "Are they awake?"

She got her answer when Jaxon pushed passed Matt and ran into the room, looking frantically around for his mom. And when he saw her, he grinned and yelled, "Mom 'Chel!" as he ran over to her.

"Hey, Jax!" Rachel said, pulling him onto her lap.

"Yo, Jaxster!" Puck called out from further down the table.

The rest of the band and Tina greeted the new visitors.

Rachel pulled out the empty chair next to her and kissed Quinn on the cheek when she sat down. "Morning," she whispered in her girlfriend's ear.

"Good morning," the blonde have her a small smile, her hazel eyes bright.

"Okay…" Tina continued addressing the group, "so it sounds like the stage crew and the tech crew all know their responsibilities and are ready to get started setting everything up. You guys have the day free to do whatever… just please don't get into trouble or get arrested. Holly would kick your ass, and that would be after I already beat you senseless."

~~~~~QR~~~~~

Rachel turned on the radio for background music while everyone seemed to congregate into hers and Quinn's hotel room to play some games. It was a little crowded, but they managed.

"Alright! As everyone in a two hundred mile radius knows…" they heard the radio DJ say, "… New Directions will be performing at MGM Grand Garden Arena Friday and Saturday nights! And right now we're giving away two front row seats, including backstage passes to whoever can answer our question. We're taking calls, now! Hello, who are we talking to?"

"Jenna Grant," the girl said. She sounded like a teenager.

"Alright. Jenna, do you know what the third recorded song Rachel and Puck wrote together that hit #1 on the Billboard charts?" the DJ asked.

"'Beyond Love'?" she said a bit unsure.

"Oh… Sorry, that's not it," he said. "Thanks for trying. Alright, next call… Hello, who are we talking to?"

"Cami Wilson," the new caller sounded about twenty years old.

"Alright. Do you think you know the title of the song we're looking for?"

"Yes. It's 'We Belong Together'."

"Yes! Wow, you must be a big fan to know that!" the DJ said, amazed.

"Yeah, I've been listening to them since the very beginning. I even went to one of their first concerts in Denver. I know every one of their songs by heart. You can try me if you want."

"Really? Alright… Can you sing the fourth line of the first verse of 'Heart Beat', a song Puck sings on their second album?" he challenged. "It's a bit tricky since it wasn't one of their official singles."

"Could you, could you take me, call me baby without a doubt," she sang. Her voice nice and on key.

"Wow, that's impressive!" Puck said, impressed. "She sounds hot."

Rachel just rolled her eyes at her horny friend.

~~~~~QR~~~~~

Matt stepped out of the taxi in front of a shop window full of guitars in all shapes and colors. He held the back door open as Rachel slid out, followed by Jaxon.

It was a beautiful afternoon in Las Vegas and while the guys in the band hit the casinos and Quinn took a nap, Rachel wanted to take Jaxon to look at some guitars. It was never too early to introduce kids to all musical instruments.

Rachel was wearing her hair up and covered with a hat, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. Jaxon was dressed pretty much the same and they both had sunglasses on. Rachel had told Matt to dress casually so he wouldn't stand out.

They walked up to the storefront and heard a bell jingle as they opened the front door to the shop. When they looked around, they were thankful there weren't any other customers.

A woman peeked her head out from behind a giant rack filled with guitars. "Hi there! Welcome to Lou's. How can I help you?"

Rachel smiled warmly at her. "Hello. We just want to check out different types of guitars. Do you mind if we look around for a bit?"

The woman smiled brightly, her green eyes twinkled. "Of course not. Come find me if you need any help or if you want to try one out. I'm Lou Ellen, but you can call me Lou."

"Well, thank you," the singer said. "It's nice to meet you, Lou."

Matt roamed around the front of the store, still able to keep an eye on Rachel and Jaxon, but also be able to watch who came into the store.

The two brunettes headed off toward the side wall, Jaxon holding tightly to Rachel's hand.

"Wow!" he said in awe as his eyes took in all the different variety of guitars. There were big ones and small ones, some even had two necks! And every color of the rainbow was represented.

Rachel smiled down at her son, enjoying his excitement. "Which ones do you like?" she asked.

Jaxon walked up and down the wall of guitars, his eyes raking over each one. After several minutes, he pointed. "That one!"

Rachel looked to see which one he had chosen and her eyes widened in pleasant surprise. "Why did you pick that one?" she asked curiously.

He grinned. "Looks like yours, but yellow!" he exclaimed happily.

Rachel chuckled. "You are actually right, Jax. That one is exactly like the one I usually play. How did you remember that?"

He just shrugged. "Me play?" he asked hopefully.

"Let's ask Lou." Rachel took Jaxon's hand and they made their way back to the front of the store to where the woman was sorting through a stack of sheet music. "Hey, Lou?"

Lou looked up at the brunette with a smile. "Did you find something you liked?"

Jaxon and Rachel both nodded.

When Lou handed the guitar to Rachel, Jaxon looked at it with wonder. He loved how the yellow was slightly sparkly.

"It's a beauty," Lou commented. "Costs a pretty penny, too."

"That's not a problem," the singer murmured under her breath as she looked the instrument over. "Do you carry child sizes of Gibson?"

"We do."

Rachel grinned. "Great!" Then she looked down at her son and asked, "Jax, do you want a yellow one, or a different color?"

"Yellow!" he called out, jumping up and down.

Both women chuckled.

"You heard him," Rachel said to Lou. "We'll need a ¼ size, as close to this model as possible."

"I'll be right back," Lou told them before heading toward the back of the store.

It only took around five minutes before she was back, a small shiny new yellow Gibson that looked pretty much exactly like the one Rachel had in her hands.

Jaxon's eyes practically fell out of his head. "Mine?" he asked in a daze.

Rachel just giggled. "Let's see how it sounds first, okay, buddy?"

"If you'll both follow me, I've got a few amps set up in the back and you can try these babies out," Lou informed them.

They followed her to a stack of amps.

Rachel took the small guitar from Lou and knelt down in front of Jaxon. "All right! Let's try this baby on you!" she said, slipping the strap over his shoulder and adjusting it to fit just right. When everything looked good, she stood up and took a step back. "You look like a pro, Jax," she told him proudly.

He just grinned and, after taking the pick Lou held out to him, began strumming the strings like he had seen Puck and Sam do tons of times.

The un-tuned guitar didn't sound that great, but with her three year old son playing, it sounded like heaven to Rachel.

Rachel slipped the strap of the regular sized yellow guitar around her shoulder, holding the neck in her left hand and letting herself get used to the new guitar. It felt wonderful. "I've always loved Gibsons," she commented.

"You both look like rockstars!" Lou exclaimed with a big smile.

"Mom 'Chel rockstar!" Jaxon yelled, his hand up in the air.

Rachel laughed, giving him a kiss on the cheek. She plugged a cord in one of the amps and turned it on, then plugged the other end into her guitar. She grabbed a pick off the amp and let her fingers dance across the strings. She played a few quick riffs before stopping, fiddling with the tuning keys and playing some more. She repeated the process a few times until she was happy with the way the sweet instrument sounded.

Jaxon stood watching in awe as his mother played. Then he began strumming his own guitar.

They both had matching Berry mega watt grins as the store filled with music. Standing side by side, the two rocked out and loved every minute of it.

The moment the store was silent again, Rachel turned to Lou and said, "We'll take them both."

A/N - I have to admit that I just love Jaxon!
