So, this is the last chapter. I thought I had a few more in me, but this is the end. I want to thank you all so much for sticking with me this whole time, I hope you have enjoyed the story:)
Rachel loved having a sister living with her full time. Weeks had gone by, their twin beds had arrived and Rachel actually found herself reluctant to no longer be sharing the bed. After hearing Santana mention an activity she and Kate had done in the bed however, she was more than happy to have one all to herself. Rachel was thrilled that Kate lived with her, because otherwise, the taller Berry girl spent almost all of her free time with Santana. Rachel and the Berrymen had gotten used to having the latina girl around quickly. Rachel found that the more time she spent with Santana – when her tongue wasn't stuck dow Kate's throat – the more she liked her. The glee club members had at first been rather shocked at the change in Rachel and Santana's relationship, but learned to embrace it. Santana would actually interact with Rachel civilly even if Kate wasn't around.
Mr. Schue had assigned the glee club to pick musical theater duets and they spent the afternoon working on that. Santana, Rachel, Kate, Kurt, Quinn, Brittany and Mercedes had all taken over the back row and were spread out with their things everywhere. Anytime Puck, or someone else tried to sneak a peak at their choices Rachel and Kurt practically growled at them.
"Come on jew, help a friend out." Puck whined.
"Noah, the assignment was for everyone to pick their own."
"Why don't we sing together?" Puck asked. "They're duets."
"I can't. I'm singing with Quinn."
"What! Come on, our voices go together better."
"Noah, Quinn's voice compliments mine very nicely, as does yours, I promise I will be your duet partner next time we're paired up."
"You know, you could say that your voice compliments mine." Quinn said, slightly annoyed.
"Quinn, let's be serious please."
"Berry, I might punch you." Quinn said completely deadpan. Rachel's smile disappeared from her face. For all the closeness Rachel had gotten with Santana and Brittany, she still felt tension with Quinn sometimes.
"Please don't." Rachel asked seriously.
"Christ Rach, she's not serious, just tell her she has a pretty voice." Kate said from the floor. She and Kurt had at some point decided to sprawl out with their music. Quinn was currently using Kate's back as a footrest and Santana was sitting across from her playing with Kate's hair.
"Quinn, you have a splendid alto, as I have mentioned before. Perhaps a bit nasally, but..."
"Rachel!" Kate chided.
"But lovely." Rachel added with a smile. Quinn just shook her head and went back to looking through sheet music.
"Do I have a pretty voice?" Brittany asked from behind Mercedes.
"Yeah B, we love your voice." Santana said without looking up.
"Thanks San. Rachel, do you think so too?"
"Yes Brittany, you have a very unique voice."
Brittany grinned and stood up. "I wanna dance, this is boring." And with that, Brittany ignored the assignment - and the boys who had placed themselves in the middle of the choir room - and began doing pirouettes in the center of the floor. Quinn and Mercedes watched her laughing while Mr. Schue tried to get her to go back to work. Brittany ignored him and pulled Mike up to dance with her as well.
"We're never going to have enough time to prepare." Rachel said nervously.
"Berry, this is just a glee assignment, we're not preforming for anyone but us, relax."
"Quinn! How can you say that?" Rachel began lecturing her as Quinn stood up and told Mr. Schue she was going to the restroom. Rachel followed her, still going on about making every performance be your best, and never knowing who will be watching. Quinn just shot Santana a look and ignored her as she walked out.
"You better tell her too cool it before Q commits murder." Santana said as she continued playing with Kate's hair. "You will have to come up with a third of her bail money with me and B. Only fair."
"If she kills my sister I have to come up with her bail money? That seems off somehow."
"No, cause you could have gotten a muzzle for Berry and all our problems would have been solved." Santana smirked as Kate looked up and glared at her.
"Rude Santana, rude."
"But true!"
"Rude!"
Santana reached down and gently tickled Kate's sides causing the brunette girl to squeal and accidentally kick Kurt. "Santana!" He protested as he was kicked for the second time. "Leave your girlfriend alone!" Kate continued to squirm her way as far from Santana as she could, but Santana was stronger.
"Brittany!" Kate yelped. "Help me!"
Brittany stopped dancing and grinned. She bounded up to the chairs and began tickling Santana back. Santana screamed as Mercedes leaned in to help her. Kate giggled as she finally got free and hid herself behind Kurt, trying to catch her breath. Mercedes and Brittany continued their attack on Santana, much to the rest of the glee club's amusement. When Quinn and Rachel walked back in a moment later, they found the choir room in chaos. Santana, Brittany, Mercedes, Kurt and Kate were all attacking each other in the back, while everyone else had picked sides and were cheering their teams on from the center. Mr. Schue was trying – and failing – to get them back to working on their assignments.
"Quinn, do something!" Rachel whispered.
"What do you want me to do Berry?"
"You're Quinn Fabray! Take charge!"
Quinn rolled her eyes and stuck her fingers in her mouth. Letting out an impressive whistle that only Sue Sylvester would have been proud of, she got everyone to freeze in place. "Everyone shut up, I've got a headache." She said lazily as she sauntered back to her seat.
"You should all be ashamed of yourselves. We leave for three minutes..." Rachel began chastising everyone as she took her seat next to Quinn.
"Everyone please get back to work." Mr. Schue feebly said as everyone ignored him and listened to Quinn.
Santana reached down and gave Kate a light smack. "I can't believe you weren't on my team!"
"You started it!"
"So what!"
"So no way was I gonna be on your team!"
"Girls, I will ground you both." Quinn said without looking up from her sheet music.
"Who put her in charge?" Kurt whispered to Mercedes.
"Seriously? Quinn's always been in charge." She whispered back.
"Don't you forget it." Quinn said from the other side of the room. Kurt and Mercedes sheepishly stuck their heads back down to work. Quinn just smiled to herself.
"You guys wanna hit Breadstix after this?" Santana asked.
"Sure."
"Sounds good."
"Why always Breadstix? Can't we go to the Lima Bean?" Kurt asked, still on the floor.
"No."
"Santana!" Kate said.
"What?"
"Headache. Shut. up." Quinn said forcefully as she threw the sheet music down and picked up a book.
"You know what?" Rachel asked the group. "I'm glad we're all friends." She said happily. "I love all of you. But I love Kate the most."
Kate grinned at her sister and mouthed 'I love you too' as the rest of them collectively said; "Shut up Berry!" With smiles on their faces.
"That's mean." Rachel pouted.
"All of you apologize." Santana warned. "Pouty Berry isn't fun."
"Santana, can't you just defend her without insulting her, for once?" Kate asked with a smirk. Everyone glanced up to watch Santana's reaction. Even Quinn, who just smirked at Santana and waited.
"Don't do that Berry." Santana whined.
"Do what?" She asked innocently.
"The puppy dog, sad eyes thing. Seriously? Its hard to be mean to you when you do that."
"I don't want you to be mean!"
"Berry, if I say it once, will all of you shut the fuck up forever?"
"Yes." Everyone answered.
Santana groaned, crossed her arms and glanced down at her smiling, and waiting girlfriend. Fuck it, she thought. "Fine, Berry, I freaking love you okay? I love all of you, but I only love getting naked with Kate, and this emotional crap is bullshit. So everyone shut the fuck up and lets gets ourselves going to Breadstix!"
