Rachel could hardly breathe as she walked slowly down each step. The house was completely empty now. Leaving through the front door, Rachel made her way to the sidewalk and looked toward the house. She was able to see the ceremony in the back yard.

The music started and Russell started walking Quinn down the aisle to take her place at the alter. Santana came into view next. Rachel watched until the priest rose his hands above Quinn and Santana, announcing them as wives. Turning away just before the kiss, Rachel let out a soft sob as she clutched tightly to the last thing she had of her best friend. Her vision remained cloudy as she continued to walk toward her fathers house.

Suddenly, Rachel heard a horn and then a crash. She felt the model leave her hands and her head collide with the pavement.

Everything went black.

Rachel slowly began to hear voices again, but only faintly. She tried to make out what they were saying, but was unable to.

She heard footsteps next.

As they were coming closer, Rachel heard a click.

Holding her hands blindly out, she felt someone grab onto her. She trembled as her fingers frantically laced with the others. Rachel startled slightly when she felt something soft press against her lips. Staying still, the brunette took in her surroundings.

Rachel was propped upright against something, and there was music playing softly in the background. Her lips were now void of the gentle touch and Rachel brought her hand to her face. Feeling around her head, she realized she was bandaged, probably from the accident.

Clearing her throat, Rachel tried to speak. "A-Am I in heaven?"

"No, just in a closet."

She heard a gentle voice. A girls laugh.

Rachel paused for a moment. She recognized the familiar sounds. They were, after all, her favorite.

Pulling off the blindfold, Rachel saw Quinn kneeling in front of her.

Smiling from ear to ear, Rachel yelled "Quinn!" and threw her arms around the blondes neck, causing them both to fall to the floor.

"Did you just call me-" Lucy couldn't finish the sentence. Rachel had her lips preoccupied, and she didn't object. When the finally parted, Lucy looked up at Rachel.

"You sure know what you're doing!"

Rachel laughed and grabbed Lucy's face, planting kiss after kiss all over the blonde.

15 years later

Rachel walked slowly out onto the patio. She smiled and bit her lip as Hiram took her arm. Looking up to him, she whispered, "I'm so glad you're here…" before turning to her other side to where LeRoy stood and added. "Both of you." Her fathers kissed her on her forehead before walking her down the aisle.

Rachel locked eyes with the love of her life and couldn't help but smile. These tears were tears of utter joy, and the woman standing in front of her had made the last 15 years the best of her life. Now, Quinn Fabray was about to become her wife.

"Ever since the day I met you…" Quinn began, smiling wide as she looked back into Rachel's eyes. "I knew my life would never be the same." She squeezed Rachel's hand tightly as she continued. "It wasn't until our first kiss that I knew I'd marry you one day."

"Quinn…" Rachel took a deep breath. "It took me longer than you know to realize how I felt about you. It wasn't until I saw a future without you by my side that I knew you were it for me. You've always believed in me, no matter how crazy my dreams were, and you've loved me beyond anything I could have ever imagined."

The gentleman standing next to them raised his hands above their heads. "I now pronounce you Mrs. and Mrs. Fabray-Berry."

Rachel smiled widely at the sound of her new last name. She didn't care whose came first, as long as they were together, that's all that mattered.
