CHAPTER 3

When Santana opened her front door she wanted to murder whoever was interrupting her sexy times with Britt. But when she saw a broken Skylar Corcoran at her door she stepped aside and let her in.

Brittany looked over the back of the couch and gasped before jumping over the back of said couch and hugging the brunette who broke down in her arms clutching onto Brittany as if for dear life. Sky collapsed into the embrace and Santana helped Brittany lower them to the floor as Sky continued bawling.

Brittany was doing her best to calm the brunette but the tears kept coming. Santana's phone beeped indicating a text and she walked over to the coffee table after casting one last glance at Sky. She clicked open the message from Charlie.

'Sky is probably already there. I hope she's bawling and not breaking things. Have you seen the news?'

Santana raised an eyebrow as she turned the TV to the news.

'Earlier tonight half past eight Broadway actress Rachel Berry-Fabray was attacked on her way to her car after a brush up rehearsal. Authorities say it was a mugging. Mrs. Berry-Fabray had defensive wounds showing that she fought her attackers. They stole her belongings and car. Police are on the lookout for her car and are working hard to find the ones responsible. There has been no word about how Mrs. Berry-Fabray's family is handling tonight's events." The news person went on about who Rachel's wife and who her family consisted of and their jobs.

Santana shut off the TV and looked over at the equally shocked face of her soon to be fiancé. Brittany tightened her grip on Sky and Santana joined them sandwiching the shaking brunette between them.

Many questions were going through the pair's head. Why was Sky here and not at the hospital? Where was Charlie and Quinn? Had anyone told Shelby and Davis yet? Did Kurt and Blaine know yet? What about Puck? Was Rachel doing ok? The questions went on and on and both knew that until Sky calmed down they weren't going to get any answers.

When Shelby got the call she and Davis were booking the first flight out of Lima to Manhattan. Will who had become the Berry-Corcoran twins' step-father was helping the two pack their belongings and his own. Davis and Will were the only things keeping Shelby together at the moment. She was going insane with worry. Her baby girl was attacked and in the hospital.

Shelby's original plans was to head back to New York and star on Broadway but then she married Will after the girl's graduated and they stayed in Lima. Davis moved in with them after he retired and was working as Coach Beiste's second in command.

When they got to the airport Shelby began pacing and Will and Davis could only watch because any attempt they made to calm the worried mother was shot to hell by the deadliest look Shelby could muster.

When Sky had finally calmed down she refused to let go of Brittany and that was ok because Brittany refused to let her go.

"She…I can't…we met in a hospital you know?" Sky sobbed and Brittany hugged her tighter and nodded.

"She's strong. She's Rachel Barbra fucking Berry-Fabray and she doesn't give up." Santana says making Sky chuckle.

"I just…I need to break something you know?"

Santana nods. "But you can't because while you're mad at others you're also mad at yourself." Santana says and Sky begins to cry as she nods.

"I promised to always look out for her."

"And you still can. You can't be everywhere at once. But you can be there and look after her now." Brittany says. "She's going to need you now more than ever. She needs those who love her to stay strong Sky. She is going to need you there." Brittany says as she cradles the shorter girl and picks her up bridal style.

Santana swipes the keys off the floor and helps Brittany into some sweats and drapes a thick jacket over Brittany's shoulders. She grabs a pair of slip-ons and slides Brittany's feet into them. She puts her own shoes and sweater on before leading them to Sky's car.

Brittany slides into the backseat with Sky and continues to just hold her. Santana gets in the driver's seat and starts the car. She adjusts the mirrors and looks over at Brittany who smiles at her softly. She returns it and pulls away from the curb and heads towards the hospital.

Charlie and Quinn look up when Santana and Brittany walk in. Brittany quickly goes over to Quinn and Charlie stands.

"Where's Sky?"

"In the car." Santana answers handing Charlie the keys.

"How are you holding up Q?" Santana asks softly.

"The best I can." Quinn answers leaning into Brittany laying her head on the blonde's shoulder.

Santana nods and brings a chair over and takes Quinn's hand. She saw Sky. That was the sister. This is the wife. Sky always tries to be strong. Quinn can only take so much before she breaks. And anything involving Rachel always puts her at the edge and she knows that tonight not only did Quinn fall off said edge it exploded and shattered beneath her.

When it comes to the Berry-Corcoran twins Santana was always closer to Sky. Brittany was closer to Rachel because they had that friendship before the death and of the Mr. Berrys.

"Sky's trying to be strong." Quinn says. "I wish she wouldn't. Her sister is back in a hospital. A hospital is where the two were brought together and another hospital just might be where they are separated." After a moment Quinn adds. "Again." Referring to when the two were separated at birth. "Just this time forever."

Brittany punched Quinn's shoulder lightly. "Don't think like that! Rachel will be ok! She'll get through this. She'll be better and then we will all be around the Christmas tree being happy and laughing and singing Christmas songs till our throats are dry. She'll be ok and if she were here right now she would be telling us not to worry about her and not put everything aside just for her." Brittany said and they know she's right. Rachel would be presenting them with a power point if she could.

A part of Quinn still can't believe this. She was given the greatest news this morning and everything went to hell that same night.

"There's a saying that you don't know what you got till it's gone." Quinn says and her two best friend looks at her waiting for her to continue. "I guess us never really being apart for so long made me take things for granted." Quinn sniffles. "Knowing that I might lose her makes me think about everything. The things she does that usually annoy me but I find it adorable and it's some of the things that should be annoying that make me love her even more. Like how she won't let me come within three feet of her after eating bacon because she doesn't want to smell the dead pig on my breath. The face she makes is just adorable and it makes me want to kiss her more but she won't let me till after I had brushed my teeth." Quinn chuckles as she holds back a sob.

"And you'll get that back Q. Rachel will be fine." Santana tells her.

"There are those times when Rachel always nags me about the dirty clothes I leave around or on the floor by the hampers. She constantly scolds me as she picks them up and puts them in the designated hamper. Lights, darks, whites." Quinn sobs. "What she doesn't know is I do it on purpose because I love that determined look in her eye. Makes her sexy and hot. And when she is up past midnight with her lamp on reading her script it annoys me to no end that pieces of paper are getting more time with her than me. But that determined look is in her eyes and she's biting her lip in the adorable way…" Quinn falls back into Brittany and begins bawling. "I need her. I can't lose her!"

Brittany just holds her tight and Santana continues to rub her back.

Quinn was doing her best to hold onto that one piece of strength to keep everything together. But she lost it. Recalling all those things. She needs Rachel. She can't do it on her own. There is no way she can handle it on her own.

Everything was shattered. Her world, her heart, her thoughts, everything. She needed to breathe. She felt like everything was closing in on her.

"Quinn?" Brittany was shaking her.

"Q, you need to calm down and breathe. You're red in the face." Santana said waving her hand in her face.

It was becoming too much. She was falling. Figuratively and literally.

"Quinn!"

She feels arms wrap around her before she can fall out of her seat.

When Quinn wakes she hears a gasp and Shelby enters her line of sight.

"Oh thank god." Shelby breathes in relief.

"How long was I out?" Quinn asks as she tries to sit but a hand stops her. She looks up to see Davis who smiles warmly at her.

"A few hours." Quinn looks to the doorway to see an angry Santana. "When were you going to tell us?"

Quinn is confused. But then it dawns on her what Santana is asking. The doctor's must have told them that she was ok and by default... "I hadn't even told Rachel." She says as tears prick her eyes. "I was going to tell her after dinner." And she's crying again. She wraps her arms around her stomach protectively. "Is it ok?"

Santana nods. "Yeah. The little one is ok but the doctors want you to try and keep calm. I know that's asking much Q, but you have to look out for that kid." Santana says. "While you were out the doctor came and told us about Rachel's condition."

"How is she? Can I see her?" Quinn asks. "I need to see her!" Quinn demands as she tries to get out of bed. Shelby stops her.

"She has some swelling in her brain but they expect it to go away. Her right arm is broken and she has a few broken ribs and her left fibula was broken. They expect her to recover as expected but…"

"But what?" Quinn asks as all the occupants of the room look away from her. "But what?" She demands trying harder to get out of bed to find her wife.

Brittany steps into the room. "They don't know if or when she'll wake up."

And just like that Quinn Fabray's world is shattered to bits once more.

"Where is she?" Quinn asks thirty minutes later after she has calmed down and sent everyone away and asked for her sister and Sky. She wanted answers and knew that her sister wouldn't try and keep anything from her and she didn't need Santana's tough love right now she wanted to see her wife now and didn't need anyone keeping anything from her because they think it is best for her. She knows what is best for her.

"In the room next door." Charlie answers.

"How is she?" Quinn asks but it sounds like a demand.

"She's stable. She looks peaceful." Charlie offers to try and calm her sister.

"Where's Sky? Is she with Rachel?" Quinn asks and Charlie shakes her head.

"She went for a run. There wasn't much anyone could do to change her mind. She looked like she was suffocating." Charlie sighed heavily. She worried that Sky would do something stupid. "How far along are you?"

Quinn smiles as she runs her hand over her currently flat stomach. "A few weeks I just learned this…" She trails off as she looks at a clock. "Yesterday morning."

Charlie smiles and nods. "When the doctor told us none of us wanted to believe it. But then he showed us the charts and we were all shocked shitless you know?" She chuckles.

They sit talking for five more minutes when the door opens and Brittany steps in. She's holding a stuffed duck in her hands and a box of chocolate. She walks over to Quinn and hands it to her.

"Here, this is for the baby." She holds up the duck. "And these are for you." She hands Quinn the duck and chocolates.

"Thanks B."

"Is Sky back yet?" Charlie asks and Brittany shakes her head. "She texted us to let you know she headed back to your apartment to get some things." Brittany said and Charlie nods. "She isn't going to do something bad."

"I know. But the worry that she will is still there."

It is hours later when the doctor allows Quinn to leave her room and see her wife. It shocks her at how many get well cards and balloons fill the room. All from her co-stars for the play. There are flowers and stuffed bears. Quinn drags a chair to the side of the bed. She takes Rachel's hand and starts to speak.

"I had great news for you after dinner you know?" She sniffles. "I was so excited when I was told and I wanted to celebrate with a big dinner and get you all worked up because you'd just have to know what it was all for and I'd tell you we were expecting our little bundle of joy in a little over eight months. You'd be so happy and we'd make love." Quinn laughs. "Everyone is here for you Rachel. Your mom, Will, Davis, San, Britt, Charlie and even Sky who no one has seen since she went for a run when she found out about the baby. We need you Rachel. When Charlie can't find or calm her down you can. And I know with the mixture of our two families our kid is going to be the same and you'll be the one to calm him or her down after a fit or when he or she is sad. I need you Rachel. Because I can't do this alone. I know I'm not really alone. But without you I feel so alone baby. Come back to me. Please." Quinn pleads as tears make their way down her face.

Puck walked into Sky's office. After Sky walked in on Puck and a girl they agreed to build a thick dividing wall to make two separate offices. He sees her standing by the window that allows them to look over the whole of the club. They agreed that the place made a good café during the day and served coffee, tea, lattes and the works. But after hearing he wondered why his best friend was here and not with the others at the hospital.

Sky and Puck were partners when they signed a two year deal with a record company. They signed another after the first one was up their second year of college and they made two albums while signed with said company. But they both found themselves changing to make others happy and quit as soon as the second contract was up. They took what money they had and opened a club. They still make money off their songs. It also helped that Sky minored in business to shut her grandfather up.

He walked up behind her and hugged her from behind. "She's going to be ok." He says and she falls back into the embrace as she watches Dave Fucking Karofsky bring food out to guests.

She, nor did any of the others, think that Dave Karofsky would be her head bouncer and chef. He was amazing after he toned down the whole bully thing and the threats. He was scared and they got that. Being out in Lima wasn't exactly celebrity status.

It was also easier to tear someone down than admit that you love them.

"I know." Sky says. "I'm her fucking twin. I know these things."

"Then why are you here and not with your family?" Puck asks.

"Quinn's pregnant."

Puck nearly lets her go but he catches himself before he lets her fall and tightens his grip. "Wow."

"She learned yesterday morning. She made a great big dinner. It looked so perfect. She was going to tell Rachel and instead she was the one given shocking news." Sky shook her head and moved away from Puck going to sit at her desk.

"That doesn't explain why you're here and not there." Puck says leaning against her desk.

"I not only learned that my twin sister was beaten to a pulp, but I am expecting a niece or nephew. I promised to be there for Rachel and to look out for her. If I couldn't protect her from that, how can I protect my niece or nephew?" Sky buries her face in her hands.

"You don't."

They both look up to see Karofsky in the doorway.

"What?"

"You can try your best to keep them safe and away from that. But it's around them all the time. You can teach them to defend themselves and be aware of their surroundings and try to avoid it. But that is all around. The evil in the world. You can't keep them from learning about it and you can try your hardest to make sure they are never faced with it. But you can't be there for everything." Karofsky says walking up to her. "They'll learn to protect themselves because you taught them to. You taught Rachel how to defend herself right?" Sky nods. "Then there you go. You'll make sure that kid knows how to defend themselves. But you shouldn't be here." Sky makes a face. "You should be with your family. Not worrying about something stupid."

Sky smiles and stands. She hugs Puck and then Karofsky. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

Quinn hadn't known she had fallen asleep till she was shaken awake by Sky.

"Hey." Quinn smiles as Sky pulls a chair over and sits next to her. "Where have you been?"

"Thinking. Worrying about something stupid. I should be here. Nowhere else." Sky says placing her hand over Quinn's that is holding Rachel's.

Charlie watches from the door with a wide smile on her face.

Reporters are trying to get in and interview them but Santana learns her boss isn't as cold hearted as she originally thought. Her boss has thrown up as much legal walls of protection for them as she could and is even giving Santana a whole month off with pay to be with her family.

They were all glad to know that Sky stopped by their places and got clothes for them. They all knew the chances of them actually leaving without getting ambushed was very minimal. The hospital staff was nice enough to show them to the shower room.

Quinn hasn't left her wife's side for longer than what it takes for her to use the bathroom. Sky and the others bring her food and the nurses brought her a cot.

Brittany is calling her assistant teachers and letting them know she won't be in for a while and Charlie is cancelling photo shoots and telling her boss what happened. Charlie worked for a magazine but free lanced for weddings and events.

Shelby and Will forgot to schedule substitutes and Figgins wasn't too happy about that and asked them to be back as soon as possible.

Shannon had no problem with Davis being gone. He was good company and his stature and muscles scared some of the guys making sure they didn't slack off.

Brittany is flipping through the channels on the TV in Rachel's room and when she gets to a fourth channel she sees Kurt and Blaine.

"Hey look." She points.

"Kurt Anderson and husband Blaine Anderson have just arrived. Kurt is Rachel Berry-Fabray's best friend and go-to designer. Blaine Anderson is currently working on his new album expected to be out soon." Brittany reaches up to shut the thing off but Charlie stops her.

"Kurt, Blaine, how do you two feel about recent events?"

"We are devastated and ask that you leave the family alone and not crowd the hospital doors. There are people who need to get through. It would be a shame if someone were to die because they couldn't get passed the sea of vultures." Kurt says before he and Blaine walk inside.

"Damn it!" Santana curses. "We should have gone out and said that." She points.

Sky pulls out her phone. "Who are you texting?" Charlie asks.

"Karofsky. I'm asking him to bring my paintball gun and a lot of ammo." Sky says and Charlie takes the phone. "What? They are vultures and vultures are hunted and shot." Sky points out and Charlie glares, with Shelby and Quinn.

"She has a point." Santana and Davis say and they are given disapproving looks.

Later that day Quinn is sat alone with Rachel and the others at the cafeteria. She was rubbing her stomach as she spoke to Rachel.

"You know, there was a time I thought we would never have this. Our life today." She takes a deep breath. "It was senior year. I never told anyone but I always felt that when we graduated that was it. We were over. Imagine my surprise when it was Sky and Charlie who were separated." Quinn chuckles. "It was after we had sent out our letter of applications and San and I were freaking out. It was a well-known fact that you, Britt and Kurt would get to where you wanted. The people would be stupid to reject you. But San and I, we had Columbia, Hudson and NYU. Santana and I hoped we wouldn't have to go to a school with the same name as the manatee but if it meant staying close to you I didn't care. When the letters came in you were so happy to find out you got in and Charlie was dancing around like a crazy child with both acceptance letters to Yale and NYU. I was scared to even look at them because it held the answer to us being together throughout college. I was so afraid we'd drift apart if we were apart for so long." Quinn took a shaky breath. "You always had a plan and that scared me because I didn't. But I trusted you and in the end Charlie ripped open my acceptance letters letting me know I was accepted to NYU and Hudson. I wasted no time running to tell you that I was accepted into them and when I got there you were screaming and jumping up and down like a mad woman waving your acceptance letter to NYADA." Quinn laughs as she remembers the dance. "I just laughed and joined you. You didn't even have to ask when I did. You saw the letters and smiled…"

"We're going to New York together?" Rachel asks once they've calmed down and holding each other tight in each other's arms.

"Yeah." Quinn beams and Rachel slams their lips together and Quinn wastes no time in deepening the kiss.

"To forever." Rachel whispers as they make their way to the bed.

Review please. :D
