The day had finally arrived. Rachel led in bed wide awake, waiting for her alarm to go off. Today was the day that she was going to finally graduate from college and then she would take a year out to spend with her family. After the year she was planning on going to New York and trying to make it on Broadway. She looked to her right to the sleeping woman next to her.

It had been two years since the couple had gotten married. Two amazing years that Rachel cherished. Sure, they had had a few fights but who didn't? Ever fight made the couple stronger.

The blonde stirred slightly but soon settled back down. Rachel thought of how the woman's father had disowned her when she found out about Quinn's life.

"You are no daughter of mine. You are nothing. You're scum." Her father shouted across the dining room table to the girl. We had invited both of Quinn's parents over to finally break it to Russell that she was gay and that she kept Beth. The little girl was with my parents for the night because Quinn and I knew that something was likely to kick off and no 11 year old needed to be in the crossfire.

"Don't you dare talk to my wife like that!" I shouted, standing at my place opposite the vulgar man at the head of the table. "It is you, sir, who is nothing. You have such old views of the world and what should go on in it while you live in a small town in your comfortable little bubble. Why don't you try living in the real world and see what actually goes on? People make mistakes and get pregnant. People fall in love. You shouldn't judge your daughter for these things you should love her for them." I banged my hand down on the table to make my point. Quinn placed her hand over mine, her strength coursing through me. "Quinn's child, Beth, is in no way a mistake she was just poorly timed. Your daughters love for me is nothing but real so don't you dare come in to our home and abuse the one person who has been desperately seeking your approval since she knew how to."

"Who do you think you are? You are a woman who I barely know and you think that you get to talk to me like that?" The blonde man was reddening with his anger levels. The veins in his forehead bulged.

"I am Quinn's wife and I will fight to protect her until the day I die. Does it kill you that I took her last name?" I smirked, winding the man up further. He looked like he was about to burst.

"Daddy," Quinn stood up, moving to stand beside me and wrap her arm around my waist, "I love Rachel. I don't expect you to know how I feel and I don't expect you to accept me. I gave up on hoping that you would years ago. I know that you have no idea what love feels like and I pity you for that. But I am not missing a chance to be happy just so that I can make you happy and be miserable."

"Get your coat Judy. We are leaving." He wiped his face and went to the door, holding it open as he waited for his wife who was still sat at the table. "Judy, now." He commanded.

"No." she squeaked so quietly I thought it was a mouse making the sound.

"What?" he spat, moving towards the woman but Quinn and I were quick to stand in his way, fearing what he might do to her.

"I'm not abandoning my daughter again Russell." Without another word the man was gone and the door was slammed. "Can I sleep here tonight girls? I have nowhere else to go." The woman admitted, breaking down as Quinn took her in her arms.

The sound of the alarm brought Rachel from her thoughts. She looked over to Quinn again to see bright hazel orbs gazing at her.

"Hey." The blonde breathed.

"Every morning that we wake up, I am so relieved to hear your voce because it feels like a lifetime since we said goodnight." Rachel leaned in to steal a soft kiss from her wife's lips.

"Look at you being all sweet when I have to break up with you." Quinn mumbled with a smile. "After today you're not a student at all anymore. I only love students so I'm really sorry Rach but this is it." The blonde tried to keep a straight face, noticing how her goddess' face dropped.

"That's not even funny Quinn. Not when I'm about to drop your spawn." She laughed, pointing to her huge bare stomach.

"Fuck me you're beautiful Rachel and don't try and tell me that you look fat because you don't." the blonde gushed, running her hand over the girls pregnant stomach. "There's something magical about you having our baby inside you right now."

"Don't think you're getting any after this comes out Fabray. My vagina is going on strike." The diva said very matter of factly.

Quinn couldn't help but laugh, "I'll remind you of that next time you're horny and beggingme to do something about it. Remember Berry, I have more staying power then you do."

"It's not my fault you're so damn sexy!" the girl protested with a pout, watching her wife get out of bed and walk around to her side to help her up.

"Lets get you cleaned up and in to that cute cap and gown."

-o-

Rachel was up on the stage, going in to her valedictorian speech. She looked out over the crowd and caught Quinn's eye, smiling instantly.

"As my class mates will know, I got married at a young age. I have one amazing daughter and I am about to pop out another," the crowed laughed when she turned sideways. The doctors literally said any day now… a week ago. "All of this has kept me grounded through the year. It has offered me the experience to be there for my classmates and it has shown me things in life that I can hold on to that will help me excel in the acting profession. We have had a blast this year," Quinn was watching her amazing wife hold the attention of the crowd. Since she had heard the speech a million times before however, she let her mind drift to when she found out that Rachel had refused every offer to her New York college choices.

"Rach, sweetie I still don't know why you turned down Julliard and NYU." Jason's voice filled the living room. He had been visiting his daughter for the afternoon while I took a nap and got some work done. I was on my way out of our bedroom and halfway down the hall when I heard the conversation so I hung back a little and listened.

"Daddy, I wasn't about to drag Quinn and Beth all the way to New York for my schooling. We would have been so hard up and out of pocket if we had done that. Quinn says she has a lot of money put away but I don't want to rely on that. I would rather she put it towards Beth going to college so that our daughter doesn't have to worry about paying for college like I did. I was lucky enough to get a full ride at OU but I didn't get a full ride a NYU."

"Rachel, I'm sure Quinn would have understood."

"I don't regret not going to New York daddy. I would have felt guilty and regretted uprooting that poor child again after she had just got settled here. Quinn's whole life is here daddy. I wasn't about to drag her from that when we had pretty much just started." My woman's voice filled my ears and swelled my heart. I wanted to be angry at her for turning down such a great opportunity with her education but I couldn't. She did it for me and our daughter.

"But what about when you graduate? What are you going to do then?"

"We haven't talked about it at great length yet but since we are currently trying to conceive a baby I was thinking that I would take a year after college, since said child should be born just after college ends, and then I will try and make my way on the Broadway stage. It will take a while so I will be the main caregiver to the child and with Quinn being a teacher, she will still get to spend a lot of the time with our baby."

I smiled. Rachel had really thought everything through and I loved her because of that.

"Uhm, there seems to be a slight alteration to the schedule in which I wont be able to finish my speech." The diva had a shocked and scared look on her face which snapped Quinn back to reality. "Quinn, baby, my waters just broke so do you think you could get the car?" the brunette said, moving to make her way off of the stage, allowing her soaked robes to be seen.

Quinn dashed out of the hall to get the car as her wife slowly followed her with help from one of her professors. "Thank you," she said as she got into the car, "would it be possible for you to send my diploma to me please?" the man nodded before the blonde sped off to the hospital. The couple had been taking a hospital bag with them where ever they went since Rachel was pretty much at full term. Every doctor that they saw said it was pretty impressive since this was the divas first child.

-o-

"Rach, baby you're hurting my ha,-"

"Ouuuuuuuuuuiiiiiieeeeeeeee!" the small girl cried out as another contraction took over her body. "Don't you dare fucking say this is hurting you Quinn Fabray. Why the fuck did I let you do this to meeeeeeeeee!" she cried out, destroying the teacher's fingers as she tried to push their baby out.

"You're almost there Mrs Fabray, just a few more pushes. You can do this." The doctor reassured, "Now push for me again with your next contraction."

"I don't want to. It hurts. Quinn make it stop hurting." Tears fell down her cheeks in the moment of rest her body was giving her. Her eyes were pleading with the blonde woman. She had been in labour for the last eight hours and the pain was unbearable.

"I know it hurts baby. I'm right here. I love you. Just think of our baby and how we felt when we found out you were pregnant." The blonde could cry just at the sight of her crying wife and the amount of pain that she knew the goddess was feeling. They had decided that it would be better if Rachel were to have the baby since Quinn was so much older than the smaller girl so they had a better chance of the pregnancy being successful and healthy.

As another contraction tore its way through the singer, she tried her hardest to ignore the pain and push. She took her wife's advice and tried to think about when she found out about their baby.

We sat there nervously, clutching each others hands as we stared at the stick.

"I can't take another negative stick Quinn." This would be our fourth attempt at getting me pregnant and I just couldn't go through the excitement and then the heartache again.

"I know you can't baby." She placed a soft kiss against my forehead as I leaned into her. "If it's negative then we will give it a rest for a few months." She told me. I didn't want to stop trying but I was sick of going through all of the hype.

"Its three minutes right?" I asked. I knew the answer just didn't want to think about giving up. Taking a break from trying felt like giving up. She nodded. Silence surrounded us as neither of us dared voice our hopes for the gender or anything that would be shattered with the singular line.

I checked my watch. "45 seconds." I told her heavily. "Would you check it?"

"Of course I will. Rach, I,"

"Don't. Please." I cut her off, not wanting to get my hopes up at all. I checked my watch again as she understandingly ran her fingers through my hair. "Whenever you're ready." I sighed.

She got up silently and reached for the devil stick. I couldn't look at her as she read it. I looked to my feet and started playing with her fingers. She crouched in front of me and I started crying, elbows on my knees and my head in my hands.

"Rach," she tried to move my loose hair behind my ears but it just fell back around my face. She gripped my arms, making me look at her. Her beautiful hazel eyes were sparkling and her perfect smile was gleaming at me. "It's positive." I didn't say anything, I just looked at her. I felt my mouth hang open as the tears fell more freely from my eyes. "Baby you're pregnant." Quinn laughed, holding the pee stick to me so I could look for myself.

I wrapped my arms around her neck, pulling her into a hard, passionate kiss, both of us crying as we fell to the floor. Our lips stayed fused together for what felt like an eternity before we were forced to break and take some air.

"We're pregnant." I breathed, holding myself over her while out faces were a breath apart.

"We're having a baby." She smiled wider, capturing my lips once more.

"Okay Mrs Fabray, there is a small complication. The umbilical chord is wrapped around your baby's neck so we are going to have to get you in to surgery right now." The doctor told her, panic flashing through the brunette.

Before she knew it, Rachel was looking up at the ceiling of the operating room. All her pain finally numbed into a dull ache through the aesthetic. "Quinn." She cried.

"I'm right here baby." The blonde leaned over the exhausted girl, surgical wear covering her face and hair.

"I'm so scared." The goddess admitted as she clutched at Quinn's hand.

"It's all okay cutie. I am right here and I'm not going anywhere okay. The doctors are doing a great job." The teacher tried desperately to comfort her wife.

"Kiss me?" Rachel asked, licking her dry lips. She needed to feel something that wasn't pain or fear. The blonde looked up to one of the surgical team, silently asking if it was okay for her to pull her mask down. The doctor nodded.

She leaned over the terrified woman, pulling her mask down as she did. Their lips connected softly as Quinn tried to take away everything with her lips. She ran her tongue along Rachel's dry lip as she tried to take away her exhaustion. At that moment, Quinn wished it was her in Rachel's place.

The couple's lips didn't part until they heard the sound of crying infect their ears. The blonde looked around the screen to see a doctor briefly holding up her baby daughter before someone took him to be cleaned off.

"Rach she's so beautiful baby. She has your nose." The couple shared a laugh. The brunette let her head fall back onto the surgical bed as she let the exhaustion take over.

-o-

The next day, Rachel stirred from her drug induced sleep. She looked around her hospital room to see Quinn slumped over the bed, sleeping. Every inch of her felt sore as she reached to run her fingers through the blonde locks that fell on her blankets.

"Huh?" the blonde stirred, looking immediately at Rachel and smiling. "You're awake."

"I am." The couple shared a silent look. "I love you." Rachel sighed.

"I love you too."

"Where's Beth and Lucy?" the goddess asked, a smile playing on her lips. The couple had chosen the name Lucy because it was Quinn's first name. Lucy Barbra Fabray.

"Beth is in the Cafeteria I think with our parents and Lucy is in the nursery being watched by the nurses while I had a little down time." The teacher explained before placing a kiss on her wife's hand, holding eye contact with her the entire time. "Do you want me to go and get them?"

Rachel nodded. "How is she? Lucy?" she asked, stopping the older woman from getting up.

"She's doing well. We made a really healthy beautiful baby." Quinn stood, leaning over to kiss Rachel.

"The chord getting caught, that wasn't my fault was it?" the brunettes voice cracked as tears filled her eyes.

"Of course it wasn't and I don't want you to ever, ever think that it was," the teacher than her fingers lovingly through the brown tresses to the side of Rachel's face. "Do you hear me Rach?" the diva nodded wordlessly. Quinn placed a kiss on her forehead, telling the girl that she would be back soon before leaving to get their children.

-o-

"How is she?" the two men and her mother all stood up as soon as they saw Quinn enter the cafeteria.

"She just woke up," Quinn turned her attention to her daughter, "Momma Rach is asking to see you squirt." The tiny blonde's eyes lit up as she shot up from her seat. "You've got to be really careful though because she's still really tired okay? Don't jump on the bed or on her because she has a really sore tummy at the moment." The teacher informed her child.

"When are we going to see her?" Beth asked excitedly.

"Soon quirt, I just have to talk to your grandma and grandpas." The small girl nodded and took her seat again. "She's okay. She asked me if the problem with Lucy's chord was her fault. It broke my heart."

The adults put their arms around the girl who was trying to hold it together. She felt exhausted but more emotionally. She hated seeing Rachel in so much pain the day before and she hated that there was nothing she could do. She hated that the brunette was feeling guilty for the complications that arose during the birth of their child.

"Why don't you guys go home for a little while? I know you want to see her but she is so exhausted." Quinn offered. "I'm not trying to keep any of you from seeing her, I wouldn't ever do that but she asked to see Beth and Lucy. I don't want her to over do it at the moment." She explained.

"I'll stay in case you need me to look after Beth to give you two some time alone." Judy offered, taking her seat again at the table followed by the two men.

"So will we." Tommy said. "Its okay, don't feel like you have to justify your actions in looking out for your wife Quinn." He offered the fragile woman a smile.

-o-

Quinn walked back into Rachel's room, Beth holding her hand as the nurse rolled Lucy into the room in the hospital crib. The teenage blonde walked up to the side of the brunette's bed and smiled, saying a nervous 'hi'.

"Get up here squirt, I want a hug." The diva patted the bed beside her.

"Mommy said not to climb on your bed cos your tummy hurts." The adults shared a soft look.

"You can get up there just be careful of Mommas tummy." Quinn told the tiny blonde, turning her attention back to the baby. The nurse was telling her that there would be someone at the nurses station at all times and to just call if they thought that there was anything wrong with the baby.

"Not that there would be but new parents sometimes thought their kids are dying when they just cough" the nurse explained. The blonde thanked her and picked up her new daughter.

"You gonna meet your momma?" she said softly, rubbing her finger over the baby's soft stomach. Quinn turned and moved beside Rachel's bed. The brunette took her arm from around their older daughter and cautiously took the baby from her wife's arms.

"Hey baby." She whispered, as if speaking too loudly would break the new born. Tears fell from her eyes as Rachel was overwhelmed with emotion. The brunette looked up to Quinn, "Look what we did,"

"I know." The teacher beamed. She kissed Rachel's head and sat on the edge of the bed.

Beth was leaning on Rachel's shoulder to get a better look at the baby while the brunette had her finger trapped in the baby's hand. Quinn ruffled Beth's hair to let her know that she wasn't being left out as her attention was on the new born baby and her wife.
