Last chapter... Sorry guys I couldn't carry on anymore. This chapter made me cry because I've grown to love this story... It's been my life for a few weeks; like a baby almost. I wanna thank EVERYONE who reviewed, favourited or alerted this story, I love you all dearly. I hoped you enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it :)
A week later, and Sam and Quinn were strolling through Dublin Airport, a week of relaxing complete. The boarded flight 259 to JFK, both falling asleep instantly.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Blaine picked them up at the airport, beaming and joking saying:
"Wow, the sun must have blinded you two over there!" Quinn smiled. Yeah yeah. Now all she wanted was to see her kids. In the neighbourhood, Beth's curly blonde hair was blowing around her as she and Finn and Kurt built a snowman while Santana and Rachel tended to a well wrapped up Jack. Brittany on the other hand, was making snow angels in the neighbours front garden. Quinn jumped out of the car, scooping Beth up into a hug while Sam grabbed Jack and held him closely into him. Soon, they exchanged children, and then had a group hug as the snow fell heavily around them. They were a perfect happy family. And they always would be.
5 and a half years later...
Quinn walked briskly up the hall of the sunny house. It was a warm June morning, Beth's 12th birthday. Sam sat at the breakfast table behind the daily paper, 5 year old Jack with cereal all down his Spongebob pyjamas, Beth brushing mascara onto her eyelashes and then, the youngest, 3 year old Rosie drinking orange juice from a sippy cup. Quinn smiled and laid the birthday cards down in front of Beth.
"Happy Birthday sweetie." she grinned, pecking the blonde on the cheek.
"Thanks mom." replied Beth, hooking her young mother around the neck and hugging her tightly.
"Happy Birdday Bettie." stuttered Rosie giving her older sister a sticky kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks Rosie!" beamed Beth. Jack looked up from his Nintendo.
"Oh yeah. Happy Birthday Beth." he muttered, quickly going back to enthusiastically throwing banana skins behind his kart at Mario.
"Haha! Thanks kiddo." grinned Beth, blowing him a kiss across the table which he ignored blankly.
"Is it your birthday? Well I completely forgot! You could have mentioned it a couple hundred more times!" chuckled Sam sarcastically behind the newspaper. Beth glared at him. Well really she glared at the headline but you get what I mean.
"Nice try dad." she tutted, munching on a slice of a toast that was dripping in chocolate spread.
"Good guess. Happy Birthday baby." he replied, his hand reaching over the top of the paper with $50 in it.
"Thanks dad!" beamed Beth, pulling the paper down and hugging him.
"Now all you need is for your mom to bring you to the mall." he grinned, going back to the paper.
"Ha! Mom needs a babysitter first!" laughed Quinn, sitting beside Jack and winking at Beth who giggled.
"Oh well I'm sure Rachel's free. Santana? Blaine?" suggested Sam. Quinn made a face at him that made Jack and Rosie laugh and Beth giggle.
"So are you." continued Quinn, sipping her coffee. Sam folded the paper up.
"No I'm not. I've got to dust my... shoes?" he muttered.
"Samuel Evans! It'll be good for you to spend some time with your kids!" laughed Quinn.
"Please dad? For me?" pleaded Beth.
"Uhh... Umm... Okay fine!" he sighed.
"Yay!" beamed Quinn and Beth grinned.
"I can't believe I've put up with your puppy dog eyes for 6 years now," sighed Sam, standing up and beckoning the younger kids. "C'mon guys, we're going to the park!" he called.
"Dad! They aren't even dressed!" spluttered Beth.
"Uh the effort! Okay c'mon lets go get you little monsters dressed." he replied, scooping tiny Rosie into his arms and carrying a screaming Jack over his shoulder out of the room.
"Mom?" began Beth, putting down her juice.
"Yes honey?" replied Quinn, looking up from her magazine.
"Thank you." she smiled.
"What for?" asked Quinn curiously, sipping her coffee.
"For never letting me down. For always being there for me. For helping me deal with little brothers and sisters, for making Sam my real dad. For letting Noah back into my life again, but only after making sure he was on the straight and narrow. For being my best friend, my worst enemy, my gossip buddy, my agony aunt, but most importantly, for being my mom. I love you so much." replied Beth, her eyes filling with tears.
"Oh Bethie! I love you too baby, and I always will. Me and you. We've been through everything together honey! And some of it I know you'd rather forget. But we stuck together baby. And you'll always be my little girl. Even when you're an old lady in a old folks home. Just remember that whenever you need something, anything, you know I'm here for you." smiled Quinn, getting up and hugging her daughter tightly.
Sometimes, things may seem amazing. But they're never perfect. Quinn and Beth were living happily together in the comfortable apartment in New York. But it wasn't perfect. It only takes one person to make a difference. Sam was that person. He turned 2 lives around completely, while making 2 more in the mean time. Sure things were amazing for the Evans, but they weren't perfect. They still argued, fought over the last cookie in the jar, had their bad days. But thats what families do. And I don't know one person that would have it any other way.
Thank you so much guys. I'm sorry it's such short notice but I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I love you all and stick around for more Fabrevans stories soon :) Just remember that this isn't the end... it's only the beginning :) Thanks guys :')
