Chapter Ten- Raze the City

And you don't even realize
you could raze the city to the ground
Lasso down the moon for you
If you walk by me.

QFRB

If Alex was a puppy then Morgan was a full grown guard dog. Something fierce like a German Shepard or a Rottweiler.

As soon as Rachel led Quinn back into the basement he had his arm over her shoulder and was leading her away from the brunette to sit between him and Alice on a separate sofa.

The room was lit with a soft golden glow and it radiated a sense of warmth just like the rest of the Fabray house did. Quinn felt very comfortable there in the basement trapped between her two future children despite the fact that Finn had clasped Rachel tightly to his side as soon as she sat down by him.

Finn wasn't looking at Quinn at all, his gaze was focused on Rachel entirely, and his attitude wasn't smug or jealous. Whatever Rachel had said to him had clearly gotten through. He was just possessive and so was Quinn, so there was still a huge tension between them that the boy was attempting to ignore.

"So does anyone know where the others ended up?" Kurt asked as Quinn settled in. "I know Mercedes is in Atlanta doing some sort of show."

"Artie's in space," Brittany offered up. "I used to think he was a robot, but now I know he helped built the pyramids."

"He's an astronaut," Santana clarified with an irritated eye roll when the blonde beside her received several confused looks.

"Yeah, he's looking for other aliens. I don't know why he has to be in space though. They live among us."

"Sam says that all the time," Morgan added. "Maybe he should have Artie on his show."

"That would be so badass!" Alex agreed, sitting forward and fixing his wide brown eyes on his older brother. "We should ask at Christmakkuh."

"What are you weirdoes talking about?" Finn asked, his face twisting in confusion.

"Hey!" Quinn sat up straighter, Morgan's arm still comfortably around her shoulders. "Don't call my kids weirdoes."

Quinn almost found it interesting that everything that Finn did seemed unattractive and borderline offensive to her now. She could clearly remember a time with the boy's confused expression would have been cute or endearing, or sometimes just frustrating, but now it just pissed her off. Everything about him pissed her off. His hair, his clothes, his grin, his voice, his stupid arm slung over Rachel's delicate shoulders. Everything.

But to the blonde's pleasure, Rachel was just as irritated it seemed, because she smacked his leg hard.

"Ow! I was just teasing."

"Anyway," Morgan cut in before any further abuse could occur, "Sam Evans has an occult television show. He searches for mythical creatures and aliens and ghosts. It's pretty entertaining."

"Oh wow, has he found unicorns yet?

Morgan smiled indulgently at Brittany. "Not yet, but they're very shy."

"Yeah," Brittany nodded sagely, "they don't like boys very much either."

"What about you Brittany?" Kurt asked in an effort to get away from unicorn conversations. "What are you doing now?"

Everyone knew how excited Brittany was about the future. They had all gotten the same exact earful about how she was married to Santana and they had kids and there were hover boards, but she hadn't talked about more than that.
