CHAPTER TWELVE
A few hours after their tea party, Rachel and Quinn were cuddled on the couch, relaxing and watching TV. Lia had just left for a birthday party for one of her friends, so the two women had the house to themselves.
"Thank you so much for letting me get some extra sleep this morning," Rachel said as she leaned over and gave Quinn a sweet kiss on the lips.
"It was no problem. I love being around Lia so much, she's just amazing."
"Quinn, words can't describe how happy you make me everyday and I'm so sorry I almost ruined this. Us. You love my daughter, you're beautiful, charming, smart, loving, and I just love you."
"I love you too Rachel," was all Quinn could say after her girlfriend's speech. Quinn decided that she could show Rachel, rather than tell her, how much she loves the other woman.
Quinn crawled over so she was now straddling Rachel's hips and began fervently kissing her.
Rachel quickly responded by grabbing Quinn and her waist and sliding down until she grabbed Quinn's ass. Quinn let out a loud moan and pulled back a little so she could catch her breath. Rachel took this as an opportunity to start lightly nipping Quinn down her neck.
"Rach," Quinn tried, but was lost in the sensation of Rachel's mouth on her skin. "Rachel, slow down," Quinn said pushing Rachel off of her.
Rachel came up and gave Quinn a wounded look, "D-Did I do something wrong?"
"No, no, of course you didn't. That was—that was amazing and I don't think I would've been able to stop."
"And that's a problem because…?"
"Rachel, I haven't been with a woman in a really, really long time and I know you have never been with a woman sexually at all. I just think it would be a good idea if we waited to have sex. Just to save it for a romantic night where we don't have to worry about any interruptions, just each other."
Rachel thought about Quinn's words and realized her girlfriend had a point, "I guess you're right, it's just… Quinn, I want to make love to you. So bad." Rachel leaned in and whispered the last part in Quinn's ear.
"I—I, um, I do too," Quinn was so aroused she could barely focus on what she was saying.
"What's this really about, Quinn? Why won't you have sex with me? We would've last night but you stop me right before I could even touch you down there," Rachel said gesturing with her head to Quinn's private area.
"I can't sleep with you because I don't feel like I'm ready to give all of me to you. I can't give my all to you because you can't give your all to me," Quinn said bravely while straightening up, she knew this would start another argument.
"So it always goes back to Sam," Rachel said blankly, growing angry.
"Rachel, it's just not something I can do considering the circumstances…"
"Quinn, you know I love you and you do have all of me, just not to the public. Why is this so hard to understand? I love you!" Rachel said, grabbing Quinn's hand and squeezing it.
"I know you do, I do. It's just—Sam is a guy. A man. A dude."
"So this has to do with the fact that Sam is a man and not the fact that I'm fake dating him?"
"What if you realize you like sex with men better and you just leave me for him because technically you're already together."
"Quinn, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I don't give a damn about what's below your belt, okay? I care about the person and how much I love that person. I love you. Please, please believe me."
"I do believe you, I really and truly do. I'm sorry about all of my trust issues, okay? Blame my family," Quinn said with a dry laugh.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Rachel asked, while placing a hand on Quinn's knee.
"Not really, but I know I'll have to. Might as well get it over with."
"You don't have to tell me details just the gist of it."
"Okay, good. Well, my Mom, Dad, and my Sister all disowned me when I came out when I was sixteen. My dad told me I had thirty seconds to get the hell out of his house, while my mom just stood there and said nothing. My sister was away at school at the time, but she never came to find me or talk to me or anything… Anyways, I moved in with Mercedes and her family till high school was over and Mercedes and I moved to New York. My dad wrote me saying that he wasn't going to pay for me to go to Yale, but I had also been offered a full scholarship to NYU, so I turned down early admissions into Yale and here I am."
"Oh my gosh. Quinn, why didn't you tell me sooner? I always ask about your family and you'd always say good."
"Well, I suppose they are doing good since I'm not around." Quinn shrugged.
"Quinn that is not true. They must be constantly regretting the mistake they made all those years ago because you are outstanding. You have me now, and I love you," Rachel said with Quinn's hands locked in hers.
"I love you too," Quinn surged forward and kissed Rachel like her life depended on it.
Tears began streaming down Quinn's face and Rachel pulled out of the kiss to wipe Quinn's cheeks and embrace her girlfriend.
"Rachel?"
"Yes, baby?"
"Never leave me, okay? Promise me."
"I promise I will never leave you."
The next Monday at Rachel's rehearsals…
Quinn had offered to bring Magnolia to the theater after school let out so Kurt and Santana could get in some extra stage time as well and so Quinn could take Rachel out for her lunch break.
Quinn had Lia's hand in hers as she walked towards the stage. On that stage, Rachel was standing center stage with Santana a few feet away from them. The piano player began to play and Rachel started to sing on her cue.
"We're right on time!" Lia clapped excitedly.
"What would I do without your smart mouth? / Drawing me in and kicking me out/You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down/What's going on in that beautiful mind/I'm on your magical mystery ride/And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
[Santana joins in:]
My head's under water/But I'm breathing fine/You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
[Both:]
'Cause all of me/Loves all of you/Love your curves and all your edges/All your perfect imperfections/Give your all to me/I'll give my all to you/You're my end and my beginning/Even when I lose I'm winning/'Cause I give you all of me/And you give me all of you, ohoh"
Quinn and Lia watching in awe from the audience, and Rachel stopped singing when she saw her baby girl and her girlfriend in the audience.
"Hey!" Rachel practically ran down the stairs and picked up her daughter and smothered her with kisses.
"Hi mommy," Lia said giggling at her mother's excitement.
"Mags," Santana said expectedly with her arms open and caught the girl as she jumped into her arms.
Rachel turned to Quinn and grabbed her waist and kissed her, "hello," Rachel whispered against Quinn's lips.
"You were—spectacular," Quinn said breathlessly.
"Thanks, love," Rachel said looking in Quinn's eyes. She truly did love the woman in front of her. "Go out with me," Rachel blurted out.
"Excuse me?" Quinn said with smirk, wanting to actually be asked.
"Will you go out with me? Like a real legitimate, romantic date."
"Of course I will Ms. Berry. But if you don't mind me asking; why the sudden romantic gesture?"
"I just love you and I've put you through so much with this Sam thing that I just wanted to do something special for you. Also, while I was singing that song for warm-ups, I was singing to you."
"Are you sure you're not just doing this to have sex with me?"
"Quinn!"
"I'm just asking," Quinn defended.
"No, Quinn. I don't care if you want to wait till we get married for us to have sex, okay? I'll wait for you. I'd wait forever for you because all of me loves all of you."
"I love you too, baby" Quinn wrapped her arms around Rachel's neck.
Santana loudly cleared her throat while holding Magnolia, "If you guys are done, I'd like to ask if I could take Mags out for lunch and ice cream?"
"Of course, San you don't have to ask," Rachel said.
"Just letting you know so you wouldn't think she got kidnapped." Santana put Lia down and grabbed her hand so they could start walking.
"Bye mommy! Bye Quinn!" Magnolia waved as she walked out the doors with her Aunt San.
"What do you say I take you out for your lunch break and then we you guys have to come back, I'll take Lia back to your place and hang with her till you're done?"
"That sounds amazing, but it's fine Kurt was going to take her home."
"It's fine, I can handle it. Kurt can get some extra work in."
"You are spectacular. I can't wait for tonight so I can charm you all over again."
"Can't wait," Quinn leaned up and kissed Rachel and grabbed her girl's hand to leave.
