CHAPTER SEVEN

Rachel POV

Rachel slowly untangled from her daughter's tight grasp so she could get up from the couch. The tiny diva was so exhausted that she didn't even take a shower the previous night. Rachel walked over to the coffee table where her phone was sitting. She noticed she had three missed calls from Quinn and immediately called back.

Quinn POV

"Hello?" a sleepy Quinn asked.

"Hey baby, did I wake you?"

"Yeah, it's okay though," Quinn released a loud groan as she stretched.

"I am so so sorry I missed your calls yesterday. I was rehearsing all day and I just came home and crashed. Please don't hate me too much."

Quinn should've known her girlfriend wasn't purposely ignoring her she was obviously overreacting.

"I don't hate you, Rach. I love you and I completely understand. Although, I have to admit I thought you were ignoring me on purpose because we actually said the L word."

"Oh Quinn, I'm so terrible. I could never regret telling you that I love you, because I do with all my heart. I don't care if anyone thinks it's too soon, I said it because I feel it."

"Don't feel bad Rachel. I should've trusted that you meant it I was just being paranoid. Hey, what do you say we hangout today? I can't go another second without holding you in my arms."

Rachel squealed, "Ah, you are such a sweet-talker! But, uh would you mind if Lia joined us? It's been a while since I've spent time with her."

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I haven't realized I'm hogging you from your daughter! Seriously, Rach we can hangout another time, it's no big deal."

"Quinn, I can spend time with both of you at once; stop being so silly. What do you say to a day at the park, then a trip for some ice cream, and then a movie at home while I cook you guys dinner?"

"Sounds perfect."

"Great. So come to my house whenever you get ready and we can start our day."

"Alright, can't wait to see my two favorite girls. I love you."

"I love you too Quinnie, bye."

"Bye, babe."


Quinn arrived at Rachel's place about half an hour after they hung up. She patiently waited for the door to be answered as she timidly knocked.

Rachel quickly swung the door open and her breath was taken away at the sight of her girlfriend.

"Hi Rach," Quinn smiled.

"Hi sweetie," Rachel pulled Quinn into a tight embrace and let go with a chaste kiss to her lips. "Come on in, we'll be ready in a jiffy," Rachel grabbed Quinn's hand and pulled her further into her apartment.

Quinn loved being in the same room as Rachel and all the positive, lovey attention. Quinn sat on the couch and watched Rachel in admiration as she finished getting ready.

Rachel used the mirror at the bottom of her staircase to watch as she put in some earrings, "Could I get you a drink or anything?"

"No, I'm fine, thank you. Where's Lia?"

"Oh gosh…" Rachel quickly sped walked to the kitchen and began giggling hysterically when she got in there.

Quinn quickly got to her feet and walked to go see what was going on in the kitchen and she was met with the sight of Lia, and most of that side of the kitchen, covered in Jelly.

"Hi Quinn!" Lia yelled.

Quinn laughed and smiled and waved excitedly to Lia.

"I left her for five minutes with a PB&J to get the door and this is what happens," Rachel was still laughing as she picked up Lia and took her to the downstairs guest bathroom, (a.k.a Kurt's bathroom), and began cleaning Lia with a wet cloth.

Quinn followed Rachel and helped clean Lia up.


Quinn, Rachel and Lia eventually made it out of the house and went to the park and got ice cream, the three were now walking around NYC, enjoying being with one another. Lia was holding both Rachel and Quinn's hands and they would look at one another and indicate to start swinging the small girl who would giggle like no other.

"This has been an amazing day, Quinn," Rachel said as she gazed at Quinn.

"It really has been, it's not over yet though, right? Are we still doing dinner at your place?" Quinn asked nervously.

"Of course we are, silly. Calm down, I'm sorry I put so much doubt in our relationship, I'll try to get back to you better."

"No, no it's my fault for being so insecure. I've just never cared this much about a relationship before."

Rachel leaned over and gave Quinn a lingering kiss on her cheek as Quinn blushed.

"Yuck!" Lia giggled.

"What do you mean, yuck?" Quinn asked playfully. Quinn picked up the small girl and swung her close and started peppering kisses all over her cheek.

Rachel stood there admiring the sight of a woman who loved her daughter just as much as she did and it was beautiful. "Let's go you two, it's movie time.

"Yay! Mommy, can Quinn have a sleepover at our house tonight?"

"We'll see, baby girl." Rachel held out her hand and the three continued walking.

Rachel noticed the painful look on Quinn's face that she was desperately trying to hide. "Quinn, are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine, it's just my back is acting up. It happens when I walk for a long time, but it's okay, I'm fine."

"Let's get you home. We can take it slow, I need to stop walking like I have somewhere to go all the time." Rachel took her time and watched Quinn all the way back to make sure she was okay.


Rachel had her back leaning on the arm of the couch with Quinn sitting between her legs. Lia was rested on the pillow against the other arm of the couch, napping after her long day, even though her movie of choice was playing, Beauty and the Beast.

Rachel started rubbing Quinn's lower back and Quinn hummed in appreciation.

"Thank you so much, that feels amazing."

"It's no problem. You should've told me about your back problems, I wouldn't have had us parading around New York all day."

"I just didn't think it was still this bad. In high school I got in a car accident and I was pretty much paraplegic. I couldn't walk for a few months and I had use a wheelchair, but after some physical therapy and the support of my mom and Mercedes, I was able to regain my ability to walk."

"Oh my God, Quinn," Rachel said pulling Quinn closer.

"Yeah, but it was my fault for texting while driving, I deserved it."

"Quinn, look at me," Rachel said grabbing Quinn's chin directing her eyes towards her, "You are an amazing woman who has overcome so much, it's fascinating. I love you so, so much."

"Thank you, I love you too Rachel Berry."


Rachel woke up Lia after she ordered a pizza, despite her original plan to cook. The three ate pizza and started another movie, then decided to head off to bed.

"Since it was Lia's idea for you to sleepover, I was thinking she could just sleep in the master with us, that way we'd all be together." Rachel suggested.

"That sounds perfect."

The three got into the double king bed with their pajamas on and Rachel and Quinn were leaning against the headboard, while Lia was in the middle, lying down to go to sleep.

"Mommy, can you and Quinn sing me a lull?" Lia yawned.

"A lull? As in lullaby?" Quinn looked at Rachel, asking to confirm.

"Yep," Rachel answered Quinn then turned to Lia, "Of course we will."

Rachel grabbed Quinn's hand to reassure the blonde, who looked very nervous to perform for a three-year-old.

Rachel began, "Tale as old as time/True as it can be/Barely even friends/Then somebody bends/Unexpectedly."
Quinn began her part, "Just a little change/Small, to say the least/Both a little scared/Neither one prepared/Beauty and the Beast."
Together the girl sang, "Ever just the same/Ever a surprise/Ever as before/Ever just as sure/As the sun will rise."
When Rachel started again she was gazing at Quinn, singing to her as well as her daughter: "Tale as old as time/Tune as old as song/Bittersweet and strange/Finding you can change/Learning you were wrong."
Quinn joined in for the ending, "Certain as the sun/Certain as the sun/Rising in the east/Tale as old as time/Song as old as rhyme/Beauty and the beast. /Tale as old as time/Song as old as rhyme/Beauty and the beast."

Rachel leaned down to kiss her sleeping daughter, "I love you baby girl, sweet dreams."

"Goodnight Lia, see you tomorrow morning." Quinn leaned down and kissed Lia on the forehead.

Rachel and Quinn lied their heads down on the pillow above Lia so they were still touching without crushing the tiny girl between them. "This has been a great day." Quinn said while looking at Rachel.

"It really has, I can't wait to wake up next to you in the morning."

"I can't wait either. I love you, Rachel. I want to know everything about you. I want to love all of you."

"Oh Quinn, I want to know all of you too. Including high school wrecks that made you paralyzed."

"Yeah, sorry about that. But, is there anything else you want to know?"

Rachel took advantage of the open question and spent all night getting to know the little things about Quinn and her past while Quinn got to know the little things of Rachel's.


A/N: Just fixed the mistake thank you so much for pointing out that Santana is Rachel's bestie I forgot ! :)
