Realization
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Glee, but I don't...
AN: Here you go. This little plot bunny bit me last night just as I was about to go to bed. I couldn't help it - I had to write this down.
"You know, I just realized something..."
"Realized what?"
"Beth is now Shelby's daughter."
"...It took you this long to realize that? I think all that Broadway music has messed up your brain. Must be something in the soundwaves..."
"Oh, shut up. That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean?"
"What I meant is, Beth is Shelby's daughter - albeit her adopted daughter. You are her biological mother. I'm Shelby's biological daughter raised by a different family. So if I'm Shelby's daughter and so is Beth, then that makes us sisters, and if we're sisters, then that makes you my aunt. Which, to be frank, I find incredibly weird. No offense."
"...Oh, my gosh."
"Yes, or something like that."
"Beth is Shelby's daughter!"
"...I think we covered that already, Quinn."
"And I'm - I'm your - this is just too creepy. I'm actually related to you now? That is so wrong..."
"Oh, come on - it's not that bad. Being related to me is not nearly so disturbing as you make it out to be. I'll have you know that I'm a perfectly pleasant person to be related to. In fact, I-"
"Rachel. Shut up. I'm dealing with traumatizing information here. Discovering that I'm related to the girl I used to hate, who stole my boyfriend and made out with the guy who got me pregnant, and who skipped my daughter's birth to watch her ex-boyfriend sing -"
"I said I was sorry!"
"- and who sticks stars everywhere and who refuses to dress like a normal teenager -"
"Hey! I resent that! I am a perfectly normal teenager -"
"- and who can't stop talking to save her life, so really, it's a lot to take in."
"- and I take pride in my sense of style and - hey, why'd you stop talking?"
"Because I finished my sentence, bozo."
"Oh."
". . ."
". . ."
"...I'm your aunt."
"I really admire your ability to state the overwhelmingly obvious."
"You know what this means?"
"No, Quinn. I have no idea whatsoever what this means. Enlighten me."
"I can totally boss you around now!"
"Quinn, I hate to burst your bubble, but you kind of already do."
"Yeah, well, now I have an excuse."
". . ."
". . ."
"...I just realized something."
"What now?"
"Puck's Beth's father."
"So?"
"If Beth is my sister, and you're my aunt, then what does that make Puck to me?"
". . ."
". . ."
"...We're never talking about this again."
"Agreed."
AN: I seriously just realized this last night. I can't believe they didn't mention anything about it on the show. So what did you think? Scary, huh?
