"Mommy!" And Quinn sighed before rolling off the couch to look at her five year old daughter. "Yes, Jelly Bean?"

"You promised you'd teach me how to braid hair today, Mommy!"

"OK, darling," she grinned, grabbing the little girl and placing her on the sofa next to her. "So you've got your dollie?"

"Yes!"

"Good girl! Let's start, so…"

"Mommy?"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Where's Mama?"

"She's singing for her new job, you know that Megan!"

"Will she be back soon?"

"Yes, very soon…" Quinn mumbled, looking at the clock. Rachel had been gone for two nights, off at some audition out of town. Kurt had driven her up (Quinn knew it was because he wanted to audition too) and they would be back tonight. If all went well, Rachel would spend a week performing in a theater in New Jersey in a production of Madame Butterfly.

"So, you take these three strands over here, right…?"

It wasn't until later that day, when Megan was tucked into bed and asleep and Quinn was lying in her own empty double bed, that Rachel finally arrived home. She made it up to their room quietly, knocking softly on the door before entering. Quinn put her book down and stared at the woman she had been married to for five years, the woman who had helped her pick the perfect girl to adopt, the woman who was promised to her for the rest of her life…

"Welcome home, baby."

"Hello, love."

"How'd it go?"

"Can we talk about that in the morning? Right now…" Rachel whispered as she unbuttoned her coat and let it fall to the floor, "I've been going without sex for two nights, and I am seriously experiencing withdrawal…" she growled, kicking off her shoes and crawling onto the mattress, straddling Quinn's hips with her knees.

"We…have to be quiet. Megan's sleeping in the next room, you know that!"

"She's never woken up before, Quinn…" Rachel grinned, cupping her wife's face in her hands. "And tonight is no different."

When Quinn finally woke up in the morning, Rachel was curled around her, their legs intertwined. Sometime after the mind blowing sex, they had decided that they should put on at least a night shirt, just in case Megan walked in in the morning. The clock near her side of the bed said eleven AM, which meant their daughter was definitely up. She yawned, stretched her arm and tried to get up…

But a tugging at the left side of her head stopped her moving.

She tried to turn her head and put her hand up to her hair, feeling a large knot embedded. She groaned and tried to get a better look at the strand, and suddenly realized that she had Rachel's hair in hairs.

"Hi, Mommy!"

Of course.

"What did you do, Megan?" Quinn asked gently, laughing as she realized that there was a very neatly done braid in her hair.

"You and Mama were asleep and I wanted to surprise you! I was practicing on my dollies all morning! Look!" she held out four dolls, each with perfect little braids in their hair. Quinn laughed again, poking Rachel in the shoulder.

"Rach, wake up. Our little daughter is gonna be a beautician one day."

Rachel sprung up in bed and rubbed at the right side of her head, obviously feeling the tug as well. She looked at Megan, and was about to say something before she saw the proud look on her daughter's face.

"And why did you do this, Jelly Bean?"

"Because Mommy and Mama are tied together forever!"

The two women looked at each other and Quinn's face broke out into a smile, leaning forward and kissing her wife.

"We taught our little girl right."
