Rachel smiles at the chivalrous act and walks inside. "Oh no!"

Rachel stops short causing Quinn to collide with her, not expecting the sudden stop. Santana comes in with the bags and is just barely able to stop in time herself.

"Um... Why are we standing in the foyer?" Santana asked

"I'm not sure... Rachel what's wrong?" Quinn side steps Rachel and stands in front of her, Santana joins her.

Rachel shakes her head "We are going to have to move... I didn't even think of that until just now. We are already on top of each other as it is. Can you imagine what it's going to be like with two babies?" she gestures around the small apartment.

Santana huffs, turns and continues on here way to put the bags away. Quinn laughs and walks to the kitchen to see what they can make for lunch, leaving Rachel still standing in the foyer mulling over her sudden realization.

Once Santana has finished unpacking the bags and changed in to a pair of her old cheer sweats and a tee shirt, she goes in search of her girlfriends. Turning the corner she sees that Rachel hasn't moved "Um, Rach are you gonna stand there all day" Rachel doesn't answer to preoccupied running different scenarios in her head on how they could make their current living arrangements work. "Earth to Rachel" Santana's standing in front of Rachel waving her hand in front of her face.

Rachel shakes her head to clear the last failed potential solution from her mind. "How am I the only one who sees how big a deal this is? There is no way we can stay in this two bedroom apartment with twins!" she says frustratedly.

"Rach, its fine so we have to move. It really isn't that big a deal" she concludes guiding Rachel into the kitchen where she had heard Quinn fussing about with the pots and pans.

Rachel sits on the bar stool at the breakfast nook "That's easy for you to say. You're not the one who has to pack everything"

Santana stands up from behind the counter where she was helping Quinn pick up the fallen cook ware. "Hey, it's not my fault you don't let me near the boxes!"

"Because your version of packing is, 'if it fits, it ships' regardless of the fragility or room designation of the items" Rachel's defends her self.

"She's got a point there, San" Quinn chimes in while walking to the fridge and retrieving the marinating chicken and ingredients for a salad.

Santana throws her hands up in defeat and takes a seat next to Rachel at the breakfast nook, "All I'm saying is you can't get mad at me for not helping to pack, when you're the one who sends me away when I try to help" she says with a pout.

Rachel places a chaste kiss to Santana's pout "I'm not mad. I'm just not looking forward to having to move again. Its so stressful" she leans her head on Santana shoulder.

"At least you won't have to move anything. You've got the perfect excuses right here" She places her hand on Rachel's still flat stomach and leans her head on hers.

Realizing that the water is now boiling Rachel gets up and turns the stove down and pours in the yellow rice since Quinn is outside on the terrace grilling the chicken "Please I'm not an invalid. I'm pregnant. Countless women have been before me and countless women will be after me. I am more than capable of lifting a box or two" she retorts while stirring the rice.

Santana gets up, hugs her from behind and places a kiss to the back of her neck "Yes, but I bet none of them were as tiny as you, or carrying twins and most importantly 'My Girlfriend' she confesses and wraps her arms tighter around Rachel.

Rachel rubs her arms and leans back into the embrace "I'm most certain that plenty women of my stature bear children and in multiples" she continues " And I would certainly hope not to the last one" she turns in Santana's arms, lays her own arms on Santana's shoulders lacing her fingers behind her neck.

Santana leans forward and places a kiss to her forehead "If you think Quinn is going to let you lift a finger you've got another thing coming... Now why don't you go and take the shower I know you've been dying to take since before we went to the hospital? Q and I can finish lunch" she ends the embrace and nudges Rachel in the direction of their bedroom. She stirs the rice one final time before putting the lid on to simmer.

Quinn knocks on the window from the terrace to the kitchen to get Santana's attention and asks for a plate to put the chicken on. Santana grabs a plate and a knife so they can check to make sure the chicken is completely cooked and takes it out to her "What's wrong mi amor? You barely said a word on the ride home and busied yourself with cooking lunch when we got here" Santana asks and leans against the railing.

Quinn shakes her head "I'm fine, nothing's wrong babe".

"I know you Q something is wrong, but I'll give you some space... just know Rachel and I are here when you're ready to talk" Santana says softly.

"It's nothing San... What's Rachel doing?" Quinn asks noticing the pregnant brunette not around.

"She's taking a shower... we started the rice though" Santana replies.

Quinn nods and takes the second piece of chicken off the grill after confirming it was no longer pink in the middle. They walk back inside. "Shit, we forgot to stop at the pharmacy and pick up her anti-nausea medicine" she says after putting the chicken in the microwave to keep warm. She grabs her purse from the counter looking for her keys.

"Babe, its fine. We can get it later. You don't need to go out right this minute" Santana says.

But Quinn is having none of it "Yes I do San. She's supposed to take that every four hours as needed. It's been well over four hours since she last had it at the hospital" she finds her keys gives Santana a quick hug and kiss and heads for the door "I'll be back in like 20 minutes, love you".

"Love you too" mumbles Santana.

Santana makes her way back to the bedroom shedding her clothes in the process leaving her in just a sports bra and boxers. She stops short of the bathroom door realizing the lack of running water sound. She knocks on the door and slowly enters "What are you doing, mi estrella" she asks Rachel who is standing in front of the mirror fresh from the shower hair dripping down her back.

"Do you think you can tell?" Rachel looks to Santana then back to the mirror and continues to admire her impending expanding belly turning side to side.

Santana giggles and walks behind her turning her back towards the mirror. She wraps her arms around her and places her hands framing the very very tiny bump "Not yet mi estrella, but you are radiating"

"You think so?" Rachel asks looking at Santana through the mirror.

"Most definitely" Santana answers.

"Where's Quinn" Rachel asks and turns in Santana's arms.

Santana leans forwards and captures her lips in a kiss "She went to the pharmacy" she says between kisses "To *kiss* fill *kiss* your *kiss* prescription"

Rachel moans but reluctantly ends the little make out session before things progress further.

Santana groans "Oh come on... look what you've done to me" she pushes there centers together. "Don't I get a reward for not jumping your bones as soon as I saw you naked and dripping?"

"Must you be so crass Santana" Rachel scolds lightly then kisses Santana a final time before ending the embrace and grabbing her robe.

"Seriously you can't leave me like this" Santana says pouting.

"There will be more of that later... now take your shower so we can eat when Quinn returns. Does anything else need to be done before we can eat?"

Santana steps into the shower "If you could check on the rice and maybe toss the salad that should be everything"

"Alright love, don't stay in there too long" Rachel exits the bathroom and gets dressed.

Santana is out of the shower and helping Rachel plate everything up after receiving a text from Quinn saying she was in the parking garage. Quinn enters carrying two grocery bags and a 12 pack of soda.

"Smells good guys" Quinn says as she enters the kitchen.

"Thanks I slaved over it all afternoon" Santana teases

"Hey baby girl, I got you a couple things" Quinn sits the box of Ginger ale on the breakfast nook and pulls out a box of saltines and a large bag of dumdums.

Rachel walks over and looks at the items "Aww thanks baby! Oddly enough, Sue was right the suckers actually did help" she kisses Quinn on the cheek.

"I'm glad" Quinn replies

Rachel and Santana finished plating the food and Quinn is grabbing the drinks. Quinn walks by and notices something is missing from Rachel's plate. She stops in her tracks and cuts off a fourth of her chicken, since there were only two meat eaters living in the home merely a day ago they had only had two chicken breasts thawed and marinating. She puts the small piece on Rachel's plate "Doctors orders baby" she says with a smile.

"I know. I just didn't realize I would have to start so soon" Rachel says looking at her plate.

"Its delicious, I promise" Quinn says.

They walk to the little table in the eat in kitchen. After they're all seated Rachel looks around "See, there is absolutely no way we could fit two highchairs here!"

Santana and Quinn laugh. "We get it babe, we have to move... honestly I still don't see what the big deal is we've been talking about moving for a while now. Now it just has to happen a little sooner" Santana explains.

"As long as you both agree with me" Rachel nods and starts to eat her salad.

"Chickens really good babe" Santana tells Quinn around a mouth full of food.

"Santana swallow your food before you talk... Honestly your going to teach these kids bad manners before there even out of the womb" Rachel scolds.

Santana responds by sticking her tongue out, to show the un-swallowed food in all its glory. Rachel shakes her head and throws her napkin at Santana.

"Honestly baby, we didn't mean for you to have to cook your own welcome home dinner... well lunch in this case" Rachel tells Quinn

"Way to avoid the subject Rach. You heard the doctor. You have to incorporate meat in at least two of your daily meals" Quinn nods her head at Rachel's plate noticing she's finished the salad and most of the rice but hasn't touched the small piece of chicken.

"Here babe, put a little extra bbq sauce on it and you won't even know its chicken" says Santana poring some Carolina sticky fingers bbq sauce on Rachel's plate.

They have all finished eating lunch and are cleaning up the kitchen and dishes.

"Sooo, like do we tell people?" Santana asks.

Not needing any additional explanation of the Latinas question Quinn responds "I think that should be up to Rachel... Baby girl what do you think we should do?"

Rachel has just finished loading the dishwasher "I think we should probably wait until after the 1st trimester... although I'm not sure how well I'll be able to hide it. From what I've read you begin to show a lot sooner when there's multiple"

Quinn nods she too has been reading up on pregnancy since they found out.

"Okay, so we keep it between us for as long as possible. Agreed?" Santana asks looking at both of her girlfriends.

"Agreed" Quinn and Rachel said in unison.

"I don't know how long we're going to be able to keep it from Brittany though" Rachel says.

"Yeah, she has a sixth sense about these kinds of things" Santana says.

"No kidding, remember how Mike and Tina found out about Oliver?" Quinn questions

"Haha yeah, Brits called up Tina and said 'Hey I had a dream last night, that I was feeding the ducks with your son Oliver... He was sooooo cute! Can I please take him to feed the ducks, pleeeeeaaaassseee?'" Santana says in her best Brittany impression. They all laugh.

"Exactly, so let's see how tomorrow goes. We may have no choice but to tell her. I don't want her telling anybody by mistake before we're ready" Rachel says absolutely terrified of everyone else knowing.

So I know it didn't turn out to be much of a cliff hanger... and I honestly didn't intend on it being one. I had to take my nephew to the dentist Wednesday but I wanted to get a chapter out to you guys knowing I wouldn't be able to post one yesterday. I figured that if I were waiting on a chapter I wouldn't mind a brief suspense if it meant I got a chapter out of it and didn't have to wait 3-4 days.

Im glad every seems to have enjoyed the last chapter. Its been raining here practically everyday this week and at different times during the day and I've already been caught in it twice. There are very few things I hate more then wet shoes and pant legs!

I think I've figured out what Quinn will do... have plans to reveal all three professions in the next chapter. That may be up tonight... if not definitely by Sunday.

** Thanks to my unofficial official beta Forevergleek9615 for reviewing for spelling/grammar errors and helping with the transitions. Reposted chapters 1-5 and this one... working on the others soon.
