Roommates

"Beth, we're here." Quinn said, gently nudging the blonde. "Come on. We'll get our bags and then we'll go see Gramma."

"And we'll see you tomorrow." Kurt added. "Come on, Finn."

"Wait, let's get our stuff." Finn replied.

The group of five headed to baggage claim, quickly grabbing their things, including Quinn's dress, before leaving the airport.

"Okay, we'll see you girls tomorrow." Kurt said as he nudged Blaine. "Get them a car."

"I love you." Quinn told Finn as she kissed him. "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Finn repeated with a grin before saying goodbye to Beth.

Quinn and Beth got in the car Blaine had called for them, piling in with their bags and Quinn's dress.

When they got to the Fabray house, Quinn led the way inside.

"Mom! We're here!"

Judy entered the room with a big smile on her face as she greeted the blondes. "I'm so happy for you, sweetie. Let me take the dress so I can hang it up, and then we can go over the ceremony details."

"Okay, thanks." Quinn called as Judy ran off with the dress. She turned to Beth. "Why don't you go take a bath and then come join us?"

"I don't wanna take a bath." Beth replied.

"Don't you wanna clean the plane off of you?" Quinn asked.

Beth shook her head. "I like the plane."

"Okay." Quinn said. "I'm gonna shower really fast. I'll be right back."

When Quinn returned from showering, she found her mom alone in the living room.

"Where's Beth?"

"She's in the bath." Judy responded.

"Thank you." Quinn said, joining Judy on the couch. "This is like how things were when she was born; just the three of us."

"Time flies, honey. You'll see." Judy noted. "Although with how fast she's grown up, I'm sure you've already seen."

"Yeah." Quinn nodded. "I know it wasn't the ideal situation, and it wasn't easy, but I kind of miss those days."

"Well, they'll be back soon." Judy pointed out.

"Soon?" Quinn repeated.

"I just meant now that you and Finn are getting married, I'm sure you've talked about that." Judy added. "Where is Finn?"

"He's at his mom's." Quinn answered. "I have to finish writing my vows and finalize all the other details, and they say it's bad luck to see each other before the wedding, so I'll see him tomorrow."

"Everything else is ready." Judy promised. "Blaine is picking up the flowers in the morning, and I have hair, makeup, and nails coming for you and Beth. And me."

Quinn smiled. "Thanks for everything, Mom. Not just for the wedding, but always."

"I love you, Quinny." Judy told Quinn. "I'm so proud of the woman and the mother you are. Finn is a very lucky guy."

"Thank you." Quinn said softly, trying not to get emotional. "I love you, too, Mom."

Judy pulled Quinn into a hug and held her for a moment.

"Mommy."

Quinn and Judy parted and wiped tears from their eyes as they looked at Beth.

"Are you crying?" Beth wondered.

"I'm okay." Quinn promised. "Come here."

Beth furrowed her eyebrow as she walked into Quinn's outstretched arms.

"I love you, B."

"Love you."
