Quinn clears her throat and leans forward slightly, "Mom? I have something important to tell you."
Judy leans forward and clasps her hands in her lap, "Is everything okay?"
The younger blonde nods her head, "Yeah, yes everything's okay mom. I just really need you to not freak out okay?"
Judy glances to her daughter's side and looks at Rachel before looking back at Quinn, "Okay."
Quinn takes in a deep breath and Rachel gives her hand a light supportive squeeze. She carefully lets out her breath, calming herself as she looks her mother in the eyes, "Keep this in mind? I'm still your Quinnie. I'm still the same, okay? Regardless of what I tell you, don't forget that."
She waits all but a second, "I'm...gay."
It's clear as day, there isnt a single way that anyone could have mistaken what Quinn said as anything other than exactly that.
"I'm gay mom. And I have feelings for Rachel. I...I've asked her...well she asked first but that's irrelevant seeing as I did ask as well"
Judy's mouth hangs open slightly, her eyes wide, hands clasped in front of her mouth, she gently cuts in "You do realize she's sitting right next to you don't you dear?"
Quinn cant stop herself from her gut reaction. She snorts and laughs out, "Yeah mom. I know she's sitting right next to me."
Judy nods and Quinn continues, giving her mom a disarming smile, "Anyway...to the point. I...She's my girlfriend." Quinn clears her throat and tugs Rachel up to sit on the edge of the couch with her, "Mom? This is Rachel Berry, my girlfriend. Rachel? This is my mom, Judy."
The squeal emitted by the older blonde rivals that of Hiram's just moments ago, and it takes absolutely no time before Hiram joins her as well in the celebratory embrace and bouncing around they both find themselves in.
Quinn, Rachel and Leroy watch on as Judy and Hiram hug each other and continue bouncing up and down, going around in circles, exclaiming every now and then "Finally! Our girls! Together!"
The three seated look at each other and Quinn grins through her shock, "As incredibly shocking as this is right now..."
And suddenly she cant breathe anymore let alone talk because she's being hoisted up from her seat and wrapped up in a giant hug, her face buried in her mom's chest, "You did it! Finally! Oh Quinnie I'm so very proud of you! And I'm so so happy! Rachel's such an incredible catch! You two make a gorgeous couple!"
Quinn has been trying to get her mother's attention, desperate for release so she can take a much needed gulp of air. Her rescuer comes in the form of a 5'2" brunette diva, in the name of Rachel, "Mrs. Fabray? Quinn cant breathe right now, and I'd be really grateful if maybe she didn't suffocate before the real start of our relationship...we haven't even gone on our first date yet. I'd rather she stay alive."7
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry Quinnie, I'm just so happy!"
The minute she felt her mom's arms let go of her, she pushes herself away enough to greedily take in a deep breath of air. After restoring her breathing, she hugs her mom tight, "I love you. Thank you."
Judy wraps her arms even tighter and sniffs, "I love you too sweetheart, so much. I just want you to be happy. That's all I've ever wanted for you."
The two blondes are so wrapped up in each other, neither of them notices the rest of them slipping quietly out giving them their space.
The smile on Rachel's face is one of pure unadultered happiness, and is one that Hiram and Leroy are both certain they've never seen on her before.
