The next day Rachel was tearing through her closet. She couldn't find anything to wear, she had to look good she was meeting Quinn's family. Finally she found a ruffled white dress with Quinn's varsity sweater. She put a simple brown belt around her waist to complete the look. She let her hair fall loosely against her shoulders. She debated what shoes to wear and finally decided to wear a pair of white Keds. She had been working so hard on her look that she lost track of the time. Quinn said she would be at her house at 12:00 and it was now 11:55. She groaned that was nowhere near enough time for her to eat, hopefully she could get the vampire to stop somewhere and get something to eat.

She went downstairs and waited anxiously for Quinn to arrive. She didn't have to wait long, a few minutes later the doorbell rang. Rachel ran over to open it and found a smiling Quinn waiting outside. The blonde was sporting a simple blue and white striped polo with the collar popped and dark blue vintage jeans and her signature black Converse.

"Wow...you look amazing Rach." Quinn said smiling.

"Thanks I hope I'm not overdressed, I didn't think jeans are appropriate for meeting your family for the first time. I want to make a good first impression." The brunette said playing with the hem of Quinn's sweater.

"And you're still sporting my cardigan I see."

"Yes I find it comforting," Rachel smiled.

"Well we should get going"

Quinn reached out and took Rachel's hand in hers. Rachel was surprised Quinn never held her hand. The most contact they had was normally hugging and Quinn's arm draped over her shoulders and maybe a kiss on her forehead. And normally Rachel would initiate the contact well not the arm and kiss but definitely the hugs.

"Is something wrong?" Quinn asked calmly.

"No, you just... you've never held my had before."

Quinn raised her hand to her lips and kissed Rachel's knuckles.

"Is it too much?"

"No it's nice I like it."

Quinn smiled and led her out to her car. The drive there wasn't uncomfortable, Quinn had a lot of music on her iPod and Rachel liked most of it so she couldn't decide which song to pick. Quinn had suggested that they just talk and they could listen to music later. Rachel liked that idea more and was surprised when Quinn put her hand on the consol as if waiting for hers. The brunette eagerly laced their fingers together. Quinn's hand was cold of course but Rachel was starting to get used to that. The whole way there they talked about everything from their favorite colors to the latest book they read. Rachel fell more in love as she found out more about the vampire. She now knew that Quinn also played the piano, her favorite colors were blue, black and silver. And she liked being in the forest it calmed her. She didn't even realize when Quinn parked the car until the blonde let go of her hand and rushed over to open her door.

Rachel was surprised by the house, it was big ok it was huge and it had windows a lot of windows. It looked very modern. Quinn led her to the front door and into the house.

"It's not what I expected..."

"What did you expect? A dark mansion with coffins and moats?"

Rachel stared at the floor, "something like that."

Quinn laughed and took her hand to lead her up the stairs.

"I told them not to do this... but they wanted to..."

"Do what?"

Quinn didn't answer she just continued to lead the smaller girl up the stairs. As they approached the upper level she smelled something delicious. No way they wouldn't do that...would they? Quinn stopped in a large kitchen and Rachel saw the whole family standing there doing something to contribute to the food they were making. Quinn stood there awkwardly not exactly sure of what to say, and Rachel definitely didn't know what to say so she looked at Quinn but Quinn was looking at the floor wishing she was anywhere but here...
