Hey guys, as you know I've been gone for a while, only managing to post 1 update with many months in between. I had a lot happen in a very short amount of time, I was struggling personally and it affected my life in general. However after a very long hiatus I am back. I will be updating at least one of my major stories every month, with oneshots, prompts being posted in between that. I have also started to write pitch perfect stories as well.

Thank you to everyone who has stayed supportive and by my side, even after I have let you all down so many times. Finally I am back to myself and my writing loving ways. Hopefully this update and the ones I have planned before Christmas will make up for it. Love you all!

Enjoy

XOXOXOX

Rachel felt a tap on her shoulder and looked up Dr Pitt held out the box of tissues he had in his hand, she slowly took a couple out before wiping her face clear. She sat back in her chair and sighed to herself.

'Do you have an envelope?' Rachel asked gaining a confused look from Dr Pitt. He nodded and headed into the draw of his desk handing Rachel the envelope she asked for.

'Thanks' Rachel said as she slid the letter in her hand into the envelope and sealed it, screwing the torn envelope up and throwing it in the bin, she then slid the envelope now containing the letter into her bag. She stood up and looked at the doctor who was watching her closely.

'Thank you for your time Dr Pitt, I need to get back to work now' Rachel explained and made her way to the door.

'It was nice to see you again Miss Berry and I hope all goes well with the trial.' Dr Pitt got out just before the door was opened and Rachel walked out. To say the doctor was shocked about the woman's reaction would be an understatement, he had no clue what was in that letter and that reaction definitely gave nothing away.

Rachel quickly left the hospital and waved down a cab, once she was sat in it and on the way back to Quinn and Charlie she leant back closing her eyes and let out a deep breath. The rest of the ride she just tried to get everything that was in her head straightened out, her thoughts were swirling and she just needed to see the two people she loved and hold close to her.

'We're here Miss' the cab driver said as he looked into the mirror. Rachel opened her eyes and nodded, giving him the money to pay for the ride with a little extra as tip.

She quickly walked into the building and made her way towards the stage where everyone was now practicing a group song. Rachel quickly pulled herself onto it and made her way to where Quinn was standing Charlie sat on her hip cuddled into her.

Charlie seeing Rachel approaching picked his head up off of Quinn's shoulder, the older brunette stuck her arms out for him and he reached across to her, gaining Quinn's attention who turned and handed Charlie to her girlfriend. Quinn looked over Rachel noticing how her eyes looked like she had been crying, Rachel shook her head and smiled signalling not to talk about it at that moment.

Once Charlie was in her arms she cuddled him closer to her breathing in his sent as he cuddled into her and happily took in the cuddles his mommy was giving him.

'Did you get what you needed?' Quinn asked as she moved towards the two.

'Yeah I got it thanks, how's everything going here?' Rachel asked as she looked over the group in front of her.

'Not so well, they don't seem to be able to get this number down' Quinn mumbled quietly not wanting the group to hear her.

'Do you want me to take a listen and see if I can spot where they are going wrong?' Obviously Quinn knew about Rachel's past with music and the glee club, so would probably be able to give some advice.

'Would you do that?' Quinn wanted to make sure Rachel wanted to do it and that she didn't feel like she had to.

'Of course I will gorgeous, maybe some fresh ears will help' Rachel smiled reassuringly at the blonde who gave her a bright smile back before kissing her in thanks. Quinn then turned to face the group, clapping to get their attention.

'Okay guys run through that number again for me' Quinn told them, making sure her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Soon enough they had started singing and Rachel cringed at the way they sounded, she could tell the problem straight away, they were all fighting against each other, trying to get their voices heard, instead of working together. Rachel tapped Quinn's arm and the blonde quickly got them to stop. Rachel then passed Charlie over to Quinn the blonde happy to take him, seeing something in Rachel's eyes that reminded her of their high school days.

'Okay guys all of you come over here and stand in front of me' Rachel called motioning with her arms to the group, they all looked to Quinn as if asking for a reason to listen to Rachel. Quinn just raised an eyebrow at the group.

'Go on guys move' Quinn backed Rachel up moving to stand with her, a now sleeping Charlie in her arms. They all slowly shuffled to stand in front of Rachel who was looking over them all with a critical eye.

'Okay guys, just listening to that it sounded like a bag of cats being swung round' Rachel stated causing Quinn to chuckle and try to cover it with a cough.

'Excuse me, but who gave you the right to take charge?' A girl asked looking over Rachel with an unimpressed look.

'Quinn did' the blonde shot an amused look at Rachel before nodding at the group.

'She's going to give you some advice on how to sound better' the group again looked at Quinn, she could see they had their doubts about the situation.

'But isn't she just a painter and that?' another cast member pointed out.

'Well she did complete the sets, however Rachel does know about music, enough to help anyway' Quinn looked over the group with stern eyes, telling them they had better be careful about what they say.

'Okay well if Quinn trusts her we should' came a voice from the back of the group.

'Thank you Jamie' Quinn responded, not noticing Rachel's eyes seeking the boy out and looking him over.

'Right okay guys, first things first, you should not be fighting with one another to be heard, in this song you should all be working together, not only to make the song sound good, but to show you can work together, that way the unity in the cast can be felt and each of you sound good.' Rachel looked at each member of the cast that was standing in front of her, they were looking at each other and nodding, they could see her point.

'Hold on let me get my laptop' she quickly ran off stage and retrieved her laptop from where it was sat, then she ran back on stage and placed it where everyone could see it.

'Okay guys, what I am about to show you is a video of New Directions, they are a show choir back in Lima, this is them singing a song to one of their members who was struggling at the time, listen to how they all meld together and work together to sound the best they can' Rachel then moved away from the laptop, Quinn took in a breath as she heard the starting notes of Keep Holding On floating through the speakers, she looked to Rachel who winked at her.

The cast members all watched and listened intently, they could admit to themselves the group sounded amazing, they continued to listen all the way till the end, until the camera zoomed in on a face they all recognised. They all looked to the blonde who was also watching the laptop, the blonde slowly shifted her eyes to look at her cast.

'Is that you?' came the voice of one of the females within the group.

'Well yes it is, this was my show choir group' Quinn answered smiling softly at the group who all look stunned, then they looked over to Rachel.

'So let me ask you a question, that group, did they look united? Like they would do anything for each other?' Rachel asked as she looked around the stunned faces.

'Yeah, they all look like they would support each other no matter what'

'Okay let me give you some background on that group then, this was the first year they had gotten together, Quinn here and two of her friends were on the cheerios which was a top performing cheerleading group and were… well bullies' Rachel winced and looked over to Quinn, but the blonde just nodded and reassured the brunette.

'This group fought, at least once a day, there were gossipers, there were bullies, there was backstabbing and betrayal, and at some points this group all hated each other, then as soon as they were on stage it was like all of that was forgotten and no matter what they would be there for one another' Rachel told them, not going into details but making sure they brunette knew what she was getting across.

'I think I get what you mean Rachel, your saying we may fight, and we may dislike each other but on stage we need to have one another's backs, look out for each other and come across like we are a team'

'Yes that's exactly it, don't keep trying to outdo each other, work together to sound as amazing as you can' Rachel nodded her head and then claps her hands.

'Who knows that song?' Rachel asked and some people raised their hands, others not so sure whether they did or not.

'Okay what I want you to do is split off into small groups, ensuring at least one person knows the song in the group, practice it for an hour and then when I call you back be prepared for me to pick you out, we are going to sing that song with me picking someone different for each main line whilst everyone sings back up, this time don't focus on getting your voice heard, focus on working together to build something beautiful' Rachel explained, everyone nodded and split off into the needed groups.

Rachel then turned to Quinn who was watching with a proud smile, feeling excitement in seeing the part of Rachel that had been missing. Rachel gave her a beaming smile and pulled her so that her arms could wrap around the blonde and the little boy that was sleeping on her.

'Thank you' the blonde whispered as she kissed the brunette softly.

'Honestly baby it was no problem, I actually quite enjoyed it' Rachel responded into soft pink lips.

The two of them went and sat down in the seats, placing Charlie in his stroller so he could sleep peacefully and Quinn was free to move around when needed. They quietly chatted whilst everyone worked away, they could hear the groups practicing with one another and it made them smile as the cast also had a chance to bond with one another.

'So are you okay? Don't think I didn't notice your eyes earlier' Quinn glanced over at Rachel and saw her stiffen slightly before relaxing.

'Oh yeah I'm fine, don't worry just a stupid emotional moment, but it's over now' Rachel looked over to Quinn and smiled softly at her, trying to reassure her that everything was okay.

'As long as you're sure Rachel, but I want you to talk to me about anything, I know right now we are going through a hard time but we will get through it and we will be okay' Quinn took Rachel's hand in her own hoping to give her some comfort. The brunette squeezed her hand tightly and smiled.

'I know we will gorgeous, don't worry I just needed to let some emotions out but I'm okay now' Rachel quickly glanced at her watch before looking at the blonde, she raised a hand up and curled a finger beckoning the blonde to come closer to her. Quinn raised an eyebrow at the mischievous look the brunette had in her eyes but leant closer to the woman. Rachel softly cupped her cheek and leant their foreheads together.

'I love you' Rachel whispered softly, a bright smile took over Quinn's features.

'I love you to' Quinn answered as she moved her hand to take a grip on Rachel's shirt trying to pull her closer.

'You are so beautiful Quinn, I hope you know that' Rachel moved her hand slightly sliding it down Quinn's neck, noticing the blush that was creeping up the blonde's skin.

'Thank you baby, and I think you are gorgeous, maybe you don't realise just how gorgeous you are, but to me you are the most gorgeous person I have ever seen, I've always thought that you were gorgeous and I always will' Quinn stated, Rachel could feel a bashful smile taking place on her face, she had never felt pretty let alone gorgeous and now here was Quinn, her saviour, finally making her feel as if she was someone special. To the blonde she was someone special, and Rachel will remind herself every day how lucky she is to be loved by such an amazing woman.

Slowly they both leant in and shared a soft loving kiss, they didn't deepen it, there was no need to, they could both feel what the other was getting across, everything in that kiss told them how special and loved they are.

A clearing of the throat broke them out of their moment and they both looked to the stage with matching raised eyebrows, they saw the cast watching them, most of them had wide smiles on their faces as they watched the couple, they could tell they were deeply in love with one another. However Rachel saw Jamie further back scowling and glaring at Rachel, the brunette hardened her face and glared right back at the young male.

'Are you guys ready then?' Quinn asked not noticing the battle going on across the room. They all nodded and looked eager to get started with Rachel. Jamie in meantime finally backed down and looked away from glaring brown eyes. Once Rachel had won the stare off she finally looked around the rest of the group who were all stood patiently waiting for Rachel to start them off.

'Okay guys so how this is going to work is, your all going to come in, like New Directions, then I'm going to pick someone to pick up the first line, then continuing on I will select a different person for each line, sometimes it may be two for one line, the rest will continue to sing back up, we will continue this till the song is finished' Rachel said and the group nodded, excited to show Quinn and Rachel what they could do.

'Okay I will count you all in and then I want you to start, there isn't going to be any music to back you so we are going to acapella style it' Rachel explained and again go excited nods.

'Okay 1,2,3' Rachel gestured with her hands and the group all started off, as soon as it came time for the first vocal part Rachel pointed to a young female stood on the left hand side towards the front. Continuing on as the next line came, the group sounded so much better and she could tell they were all impressed with how they sounded. Rachel smiled happily as they continued, she picked two members for a couple of lines and then continued on. Quinn couldn't believe how different they sounded now as a group to how they sounded before.

They continued on with the song, the group getting more enthusiastic the longer it went, and then as the song started to close down Rachel and Quinn could practically feel the excitement coming off them in waves. Rachel slowly guided them to a stop and they all cheered, Quinn and Rachel clapping them with smiles plastered on their faces.

'That is what I am talking about guys, you sounded amazing, see what you can do when you work together?' Rachel stated once they had all quieted down.

'Oh my gosh that was so amazing, we sounded so good!' one of the boys exclaimed bouncing on the balls on his feet. Rachel chuckled, he reminded her a lot of Kurt.

'I have one question though, who was the lead female in that video, the one with brunette hair?' Chloe a female that had become friendly with both Charlie and Rachel asked as she sat down on the edge of the stage.

'Oh well-' Quinn started but was cut off by Rachel as the brunette winked, not wanting to give it a way yet, who that female had been.

'She's an old friend' Rachel stated and looked at the group.

'How do you know so much about New Directions? How do you know them?' Darren asked.

'Well I went to the same school as them, that's how I knew Quinn' Rachel explained easily.

'Well what do you think guys, ready to give that song from earlier one more go, remember this time you are working as a team, blending your voices together and helping to bring the song alive' Rachel looked at them and they all looked eager to start the song. Rachel nodded at the musicians and once again the familiar song came on. Rachel leant back in her seat and placed her arm around Quinn as they watched the group now sing the song, although it still needed rehearsal it sounded way better than the mess it had been before.

Rachel looked over to Quinn who was watching with happiness written all over her face as she finally got the crew to sound the way they should be. The blonde leant into her and continued to watch happily as the cast members not only sang but started to dance with each other on stage obviously enjoying themselves.

The rest of the day went by quickly, with some of the cast members asking Rachel for advice when it came to the parts they were singing, Rachel loved it, although she didn't sing much now unless it was in the privacy of her own home she did miss it.

Once the small family made it back to Quinn's apartment they decided to have some time all together. Rachel cooked dinner whilst Quinn bathed Charlie and got him into his pyjamas. Setting out the food as she hummed to herself Rachel couldn't help but notice how amazing it felt to just be doing this, cooking for her family, getting ready for an easy night, where they will watch movies and snuggle all together.

Quinn came in with Charlie happily following her all ready and changed. They sat down at the dinner table and all started to tuck into their food. Rachel laughed as Charlie dove into his food, he had already grown so much confidence around them and it just made her so happy to see. Quinn and Rachel tidied up the kitchen together dancing around each other and laughing when bubbles came their way.

Snuggling down under the blanket once everything was cleaned. The placed a movie on and happily cuddled together. Rachel had her arm wrapped around Quinn who leant her head on her shoulder and Charlie was sat in Rachel's lap cuddled up to her chest. Quinn let out a sigh of contentment as she looked over her two favourite people. Rachel placed a kiss to her head before wrapping them tighter in her arms.

'Mommy?'

'Yeah baby?'

'Today has been a good day!' Charlie exclaimed happily. Rachel smiled down at the little boy.

'It has, what's been your favourite part little man?' Charlie looked up to Rachel and seemed to be really think about his answer.

'Cuddles with you and momma right now!' Charlie giggled. Rachel tickled him a little.

'Oh really, cuddling with me and momma?'

'Yeah cause I get to spend time with both of you and we are happy, and we love each other and we are all nice and warm'

'You know what Charlie?' Rachel asked as she ran a hand through his hair and looked into his chocolate brown eyes.

'What mommy?'

'I think your right my little man, this has been my favourite part of today. Having you and momma as my cuddle buddies is just awesome.' Quinn smiled up at Rachel as Charlie smiled at the both of them.

'That's cause we're team awesome' Quinn stated.

'Team awesome!' Charlie called waving his tiny hands. The two women laughed at their little guy before they all cuddled back together and continued to watch the film. By the end of it Charlie was asleep.

'Hey baby?' Quinn called and Rachel turned to her.

'Why don't you go put Charlie into bed? His all tuckered out' Rachel looked down and smiled at the little boy, moving him into her arms with ease and then taking him into the bedroom he uses at Quinn's.

'Night my little man, I love you very much' she says with a kiss to his forehead and then leaves the room. Rachel made her way back to the living room to find Quinn still curled up on the couch. She lifted the blanket and joined the blonde underneath it. They locked eyes and the blonde pushed Rachel's hair back behind her ear. Cupping her cheek softly the blonde leant in for a soft kiss.

Starting out with pecks that grew longer and longer until their lips were barely leaving the others, Rachel moved Quinn to straddle her as her arms wrapped around the blonde's waist. Quinn was fisting Rachel's hair in one hand the other hooked around Rachel's neck. Quinn let a sigh as she felt Rachel's hands slide under her top and travel up her back, gathering the top Quinn was wearing, the detached for just a second so the top could come flying off, their lips instantly meeting again.

Quinn's hands quickly made their way to Rachel's shirt undoing the buttons as quickly as possible. Rachel yanked the shirt off of herself, she cupped Quinn's ass in her hands and the lifted spinning round and lying Quinn down on her back. She straightens and looks down at Quinn, blonde hair splayed across the pillows, Quinn's harsh breathing, her hazel eyes nearly black. Rachel all but ripped the blonde's jeans off of her and then slowly slid the blonde's underwear off. She lay herself over the blonde before unclipping her bra. She placed a kiss on Quinn's lips as she got rid of the now loose item of clothing. Slowly Rachel kissed down Quinn's body to the centre of her chest, swiping her tongue out and moving to her right, taking the nipple she find there into her both. Sucking on the hard bud and flicking it with her tongue.

Her right hand comes up to cup Quinn's core and Rachel moaned at how wet it already was. Quinn groaned at the moan that left Rachel. The brunette slowly continued down the blonde's body, she looked up to the lock her eyes with hazel. Quinn was watching every move Rachel made, her chest rising and falling, gasps leaving her mouth at every touch, her centre craving some kind of touch. A groan left Quinn's lips as Rachel kissed up her left thigh. A creamy skinned hand drifting its way into dark hair, pulling on it lightly. Rachel chuckled causing vibrations to travel up Quinn's body.

'Please Rachel, I need you' Quinn moaned and there was no way Rachel could resist that.

Bending her head down Rachel looked up Quinn's body and then pulled Quinn's clit into her mouth, humming as she tasted the blonde. Quinn couldn't help the groan that escaped her both hands now in Rachel's hair as the blonde's hips rocked. Rachel sucked on the swollen clit as she took in the sight that was Quinn. The blonde's hips rocked, her chest heaving, her hardened nipples standing to attention. Her head slightly to the side as hard breaths escaped her mouth. Her eyes half closed but yet still open taking in the sight of Rachel between her legs.

Flicking her tongue over the sensitive bud in her mouth Quinn jolted, her stomach tensing and her mouth dropping in a silent moan. The coil in her stomach was about to break, she didn't know whether she wanted to close her eyes or watch as much as possible.

'Rach, I'm so close' The blonde muttered as her hip jolted a few more times. Rachel hooked her hands around Quinn's thighs and pulled her harder against her as she sucked and licked Quinn's centre. The blonde moaned throwing one arm across her face as the other hand stayed firmly in Rachel's locks.

'Oh god, Rach, I'm going to cum' Quinn managed to get out, god knows how.

'Don't stop' she stated breathily, like Rachel was even thinking about stopping, not with the site she had in front of her. She added humming back into the fold as she sucked and flicked her tongue over the bundle in her mouth and then with a cry of Rachel's name Quinn came, jolting underneath Rachel's tongue.

The brunette licked slowly at the blonde as she came back down from her high feeling a gentle tug to her hair she moved her way up Quinn's body, kissing a path along the way until she met the blonde's lips. Rachel gently moved off of Quinn and then picked her up and carried her into the blonde's room. Quinn moved straight for the night stand as Rachel stripped the rest of her clothes off. Placing the protection over Rachel's hard member Quinn gave it a couple of soft pumps before moving backwards on the bed Rachel following her. They kissed for a little while before Rachel rolled Quinn over onto her front. She pulled the blonde's hips up Quinn going onto all fours as she looked behind her to Rachel. The brunette raised her eyebrow receiving a soft smile and a nod from her girlfriend. Rachel leant her body over Quinn and kissed the blonde's shoulder, moving up her neck as she moved one hand around to stroke Quinn's core slowly.

Rachel then pulled back and lined herself up with Quinn's entrance, slowly she thrusted into Quinn, the blonde dropping her head down onto her bed as she groaned. She loved the feeling of Rachel filling her. The brunette slowly started to thrust her one hand moving round to rub Quinn's clit as the other held her hip.

'Oh god!' Quinn moaned, Rachel answered with a groan of her own.

'Fuck Rach!' The brunette slowly picked up her pace as Quinn started to push backwards into her. The two quickly found a rhythm to suit them, Quinn bouncing back onto Rachel as the brunette thrusted into her quickly.

'Rachel!' groaned the blonde as she arched her back, she looked behind her to the brunette who was thrusting into her a little harder now. The brunette bent herself over the blonde's back, her thrusting never stopping as the two met in a quick kiss and then the brunette trailed her lips up the blonde's neck. Their thrusting became faster as both of them neared the edge. Skin slapping against skin, groans and moans escaping them quicker now than before. Then Quinn was pushing herself onto her knees, her one arm wrapped around Rachel's neck as the brunette supported them, wrapping her arms around the blonde. One hand on her girlfriends clit, the other rolling a nipple between her fingers.

They rocked together, both whimpering the others name as their thrusts became uncontrolled and then two loud groans escaped the both of them, followed by each other's names as they jumped off the edge together. Rachel slowly lay Quinn down and kissed down the blonde's back as she pulled out of her. She cleaned herself up and then joined the blonde, who was smiling lazily at her. She kissed the blonde one last time before they both drifted off to sleep.
