Hey everyone, posted this chapter a little late, almost didn't post a chapter tonight. Had a big day with my four week old daughter and then had to go grocery shopping late this evening so it isn't a very long chapter sorry.
Again i don't own Glee or its characters =)
Quinn was awake and sitting in the kitchen sipping a cup of coffee when Rachel returned home half an hour later. She smiled at her dads before she grabbed the juice she had left on the counter and sat down next to Quinn before flashing the blonde a smile.
"Quinn was just telling us a little about herself. You didn't tell us she was one of the Cheerios that used to slushy you and your other friends." Hiram said with a smile on his face showing he wasn't upset with the blonde.
"Do I often mention people by name that are picking on me?" Rachel asked curiously as she took a mouthful of juice.
"Well no, I suppose not." Hiram frowned at being caught.
"Exactly. Are you and daddy doing anything today?" Rachel asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well we were thinking about taking your car to Burt's to see if he would repaint your car." LeRoy said as he cooked pancakes.
"Really? Maybe I can get it off and we can save the money for something important." Rachel frowned thinking about her car.
"Are you sure? How will you get it off?" Hiram asked flatly.
"I'm not sure." Rachel frowned deeper.
"I don't have anything to do today, maybe I can hang out and help Rachel. We can try a few things." Quinn offered.
"That's very sweet of you Quinn, isn't it Rachel?" LeRoy beamed at the blonde before looking at his daughter.
"Yes, very. You don't have too though Quinn." Rachel smiled a little at the blonde.
"Are you kidding? I owe you a bunch, I was such a bitch to you for so long and you are nothing but nice to me. Besides if I didn't think I would potentially get expelled I would beat the crap out of those jocks for being such douche bags to you." Quinn spoke passionately.
"I like this one Rachel." Hiram said nodding towards Quinn with approval on his face.
"Me too." Rachel blurted and then blushed sliding off her seat and moving over to LeRoy.
"Really now?" Quinn was obviously grinning but Rachel didn't turn to look at her.
"You're nice." Rachel threw over her shoulder in the hopes Quinn would take the comment as meaning less than it did.
Quinn chuckled to herself and took a mouthful of her coffee before turning to Hiram and talking about the jocks that had been messing with Rachel. Rachel listened while she helped her dad make pancakes and smiled when she heard how angry Quinn sounded.
They were just setting the pancakes on the table and Hiram was making Santana a coffee when said Latina stumbled into the kitchen looking sleepy. Santana took the coffee cup and then leaned into Hiram with her head on his chest and closed her eyes like she was going to go back to sleep.
"Tired honey?" Hiram asked redundantly as he wrapped his arms around her and chuckled.
"This is incredibly early for me on a Sunday" Santana muttered into the mans shirt.
"Yes I know but I am quite impressed that you got yourself out of bed." Hiram said with a smile and kissed the brunette on the forehead as she leaned back a little to sip her coffee.
"I know, I kind of missed Britt's warmth. How long ago did she leave?" Santana asked and then yawned widely.
"Almost an hour ago. Rach gave her a ride home." LeRoy said moving to kiss Santana on the forehead as well.
"Yeah she had a breakfast date with Artie." Santana said a little sadly.
"Sorry S." Quinn spoke quietly when she saw the look on the latinas face.
"Its no big, Q. Brittany made it clear she chose Artie. Good for him right?" Santana tried to sound genuine but fell short.
"That's very gracious of you San." Hiram said warmly.
"I can be pretty awesome like that sometimes." Santana said cheekily and grinned, a complete turn around of emotions.
They all laughed and then sat down to eat breakfast. Santana said she had to leave almost two hours later as she had told her mother she would do some things around the house while her mother was at work. They all bid her farewell and LeRoy and Hiram said that they were going to go out and get some groceries for the week.
Quinn and Rachel then went about looking at some of the cleaning chemicals that the Berry's had and they decided on trying two different ones. Rachel went up stairs and changed into one of her only pairs of jeans and a simple tee-shirt and then went back downstairs.
Quinn quirked an eyebrow at Rachel's clothes but didn't say anything as she followed the brunette outside. If Quinn was being honest with herself she found Rachel really attractive in the simple clothes for a change. It gave Rachel a relaxed air about the brunette and Quinn found it appealing to see her like that. Not that Quinn didn't like how Rachel usually dressed, with her sweaters and skirts.
They set about scrubbing at the words and almost an hour later they gave up in frustration when the most they were able to do was make the bold letters slightly less bold. Quinn stood up and tossed her sponge into a foamy bucket beside Rachel causing the water to splash out onto the brunette.
The little brunette made an indignant sound and turned with dripping hair and a wet shirt to glare at a shocked looking Quinn. Quinn didn't stay shocked for long and she was soon leaning against the car for support as she laughed heartily at the bedraggled brunette. Rachel retaliated by picking up the soaking sponge and hitting the blonde in the face with, splattering water all over her.
"Rachel!" Quinn said sharply before bending and picking up the sponge and then looking evilly at the brunette.
"Quinn, don't you dare!" Rachel cried backing up a pace or two.
"You are in for it now Berry." Quinn said in a menacing tone but couldn't fight the smile on her lips.
Rachel gave a little squeal and turned to run but found herself being tackled by the blonde. Rachel rolled over with her momentum and found herself laying on her back with Quinn straddling her hips. Quinn laughed down at the brunette and held the sponge above Rachel's face and indicated she was going to squeeze the water out of it.
Rachel reached up with one hand to grab Quinn's wrist and used her other hand to try and cover her own face like it might help. Quinn laughed again and squeezed the sponge a little dripping a few drops of water onto Rachel's hand causing the smaller girl to squeal a little.
"Quinn please!" Rachel said earnestly and then giggled.
"You started this." Quinn reasoned with a grin at the little girlish giggle.
"Uh, actually you started it." Rachel said seriously.
"That was an accident, besides do you really think you are in the position to argue with me?" Quinn asked seriously with a grin and a raised eyebrow.
"Point taken. Please let me up?" Rachel asked in her sweetest tone.
"I'll let you up if you admit something." Quinn said after a moment, now very serious.
"What?" Rachel asked hesitantly.
"Admit that you are a lesbian, strictly." Quinn said challengingly.
"But... ah..." Rachel blushed and finally became very aware of their positions.
"Go on, you cant deny that I had a point last night." Quinn's voice had dropped a little.
"No, I cant." Rachel agreed and her voice broke on the last word.
"So you admit it?" Quinn pressed.
Rachel looked hard at Quinn's eyes trying to figure out why the blonde was being so pushy about the matter but she couldn't see the answers in the strait face above her. With a heaved sigh Rachel nodded her head and then spoke.
"Yes Quinn, I admit it. I'm a lesbian."
"Thank you." Quinn said with a smile and then stood up and reached down, offering her hand to help Rachel up.
