*so haven't be getting many reviews but anyway even if your being kind of mean and not reviewing enjoy anyway. But I guess I deserve it since I'm taking so long to update!*
"Meryl!" Quinn said rushing to the hospital bed.
"Quinn." Meryl's voice was a raspy whisper.
"I'm so glad you're okay. Do you remember what happened?"
"I'm not okay but I'm alive." Meryl paused for breath "I forgot, or more so just skipped telling you." Meryl blushed "I'm sick Quinn."
"What! With what?" Quinn asked as her hands flew to her mouth in shock.
"Well we're not quite sure. I probably won't live until next year though." Meryl said staring into Quinn's eyes.
"So you set me up hoping if you died I would look after Savannah." Quinn guessed.
"No. Not quite. In my will she was going to be given to my son Mathew but if you wanted I'd rather you did have her." Meryl said quietly
"Oh. Is there a cure?" Quinn asked as she thought of something else to say.
"If they don't know what it is how can they cure it?" Meryl chuckled raising a thing grey eyebrow.
"whoops." Quinn mumbled turning a deep scarlet colour.
"I want you to go home. Visit tomorrow if you must but I don't like visitors much." Meryl said dismissing Quinn.

As Quinn tried to sleep in her new bed her mind was quickly filling with thoughts.
'why didn't Meryl tell her?'
'what would she do if Meryl died?'
'Could she look after a baby?'
'What about school?'
The next morning Quinn woke up or more so got out of bed since she didn't actually get any sleep.
Not coming today maybe next week. Thanks for the help last night you're a great friend! Tell everyone I say hi. Xx Q
"I should probably do something like cleaning!" Quinn muttered to herself after sending the text to Kurt.
Quinn started off with the bathroom s it was already quite clean unlike the rest of the house. Quinn spent the whole morning cleaning but stopped a bit before lunch when she found a letter under the couch.
To whoever finds this,
I'm sorry I took my life this way, that I didn't live for another day.
I was sick of the riddles and rhymes and all the world with its sick crime.
Don't miss me much for I am safe, Heaven is a better place.
Just remember I love you and hope you'll join me one day too.
Quinn recognised the writing but she wasn't sure where. It wasn't Meryl's. Quinn tucked the note in her pocket before sitting down for lunch.
That afternoon Carole Hudson dropped by to see how Quinn was doing.
"Hey honey." The motherly voice had said as Quinn opened the door.
"CAROLE!" She had nearly screamed, "What are you doing here?" Quinn grabbed her into a hug.
"I came to check on you sweety! Don't think Finn and Kurt haven't told me anything." She said following Quinn into the kitchen.
"This one's adorable!" Carole said tickling Savannah who giggled in her high chair.
"Yeah. She and Beth would've been best friends." Quinn said thoughtlessly.
"How are you getting along?" Carole asked placing her hand over Quinn's.
"I'm getting better. I was going to come back to school but then all this happened." Carole nodded slowly,
"Look Quinn. I'd like you to move back in with us. We live in a bigger house with Burt and Kurt now and you'd get your own room this time." Carole said looking into Quinn's hazel green eyes.
"I-I don't know I mean Meryl needs me!" Quinn stammered
"No Quinn. She doesn't."
"yes she does. I need her too."
"Quinn you need an adult and you need to feel secure to be able to enjoy your last few years of youth." Quinn opened her mouth but Carole continued first "You met Meryl no more than a week ago and you have no idea who she is. I understand she needs help with Savannah but you need help too!"
"Yeah I guess." Quinn shrugged suddenly backing down
"So what are you going to do?" Carole asked after a few minutes.
"I guess I'll move in with you, but first I want to find a relative for Savannah to stay with and tell Meryl." Carole nodded "I'll organise it now and come over tonight when I'm done."
"Okay. Would you like a lift to the hospital?" Carole asked getting up
"No it's okay I'll take Meryl's car." Quinn waited for Carole to turn out of the driveway before heading back inside.
"I don't know what to do S." She sighed talking to the baby girl who was busy watching some children's show about a duck and a rabbit.
Quinn thought for an hour.
Contemplating running away, would she take Savannah with her if she did?
In the end Quinn decided to read another letter, but which one should she pick?
Artie's letter was the one she chose,
Dear Beth,
Well this is awkward I mean I don't really know you or even your mom to well.
I think I'll just tell you that your mom loves you very much! When you were in her stomach she always had a hand wrapped around it as if she was protecting you!
You really changed your mom! She stopped being the HBIC and started to care about people's feelings!
She was also a great dance partner! I would know as Mr Shue paired us together so many times cause we were the cripple and the prego. At least maybe now she can get a proper dance partner, if she ever actually comes back to school.
Your dad loves you too by the way. I saw it in his eyes when we sung Beth to your mom.
Well that's all I really want to say because I have nothing else to say.
Who knew writing a letter to a baby could be this awkward!
Anyway bye.
"Well I can't run away now. Artie needs a dance partner!" Quinn giggled to herself. It was strange, each new letter had a different meaning and a different relationship that Quinn didn't even know she had.
"Guess we better go the hospital S." Quinn told the baby as she begun to pack her things back into the small purple suitcase she'd brought.
"Wait, you mean you're leaving me and Savannah?" Meryl asked as she bounced her grand daughter on her lap.
"Yes. I'm sorry but I can't deal with this. I'm trying to build my life up again not tear it further." Quinn tried not to show her emotion too much.
"Be that way then. Of all people Quinn I thought you'd help me." Meryl said looking down
"Don't you play the guilt card on me. I hardly know you."
"But you need me." Meryl insisted,
"No I don't. You think I do cause you need me. I saw a picture, I know I look like your daughter." Meryl gasped
"Quinn I'm just trying to help you." She continued to insist.
"Carole was right you're just a batty lady I met in the park and decided to trust." Quinn frowned before leaving.
*so once again sorry sorry sorry sorry! I'll try and update soon promise!
Please review!*
