"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to have your attention please."
Quinn stops mid chuckle and turns to face the front of the room where her girlfriend is standing, trying and successfully taking command of the room.
Rachel throws her a grin before looking to everyone else, "Thank you. Now I would like to tell you all of a certain something that has come to being. I know that perhaps it isn't exactly news one would normally announce, but seeing as we're all friends, nay family, I think it's actually quite fitting."
Santana nudges Quinn and sends her a meaningful look, and the blonde just smirks and hops out of her seat, taking Rachel's arm and interrupting her gently, "What Rachel here is trying to get to is that we have something to tell you and the reason we're telling you is because you're all important to us."
Rachel smiles up at her gratefully and nods her head in agreement, "Yes, that's exactly right." Rachel takes a second to build the dramatic tension before finally smiling brightly and exclaiming, "Fellow glee clubbers, I would like to introduce to you, my girlfriend, Quinn Fabray."
It takes a second for the whole idea to sink in, but when it does.
"Finally!"
"Geeze Jew-Berry I thought it'd never happen!"
"Congratulations!"
"Mazel tov!"
"Girl I'm happy for you but damn, I didn't think you'd want to announce it to us like this. Rachel has you wrapped around her finger!"
"Now FABABIES!"
The rather loud exclamation from Brittany is finally what quietens down the whole room, and gives Rachel and Quinn a reprieve but only slightly.
Santana grabs hold of Brittany's arm and sits her down shaking her head, "No Britt...just no."
Quinn and Rachel blink back their surprise seeing as that was the last thing they had expected to come out of Brittany's mouth.
Rachel is the first to recover and she chooses to ignore the last comment from Brittany, at least for now and she clears her throat, a small smile on her face, "Thank you, honestly for your support. It truly does mean a lot to us."
The fact that Rachel didn't say 'me' didn't go unnoticed by Quinn or the other two cheerleaders. In fact if anything it didn't go unnoticed by anyone in the room.
Quinn wraps an arm around Rachel's waist and gently brings her closer to her side, "I'm happy with Rachel, and yeah it's a little bit scary telling you guys, but I really do care about her and I care about all of you and I know you won't judge us...or me, on who it is that I choose to lo...be with."
Quinn bites down on her words and mentally slaps herself. She almost said love in front of everyone when she hasn't even said it to Rachel one on one and that is definitely not how she wants to tell her she's in love with her for the first time.
Rachel is as bubbly as ever and she doesn't give any outward sign that she caught the near slip, but her eyes are twinkling more and there's a lightness to her smile now, she gently takes hold of the hand around her waist and holds it in place giving it a squeeze, "And in light of this, Brittany and I have actually got a song ready."
Quinn and Santana's eyes bulge as Rachel takes Quinn to her seat and Brittany stands up from hers.
"No wait what? No!" Santana shakes her head and stands up only to be pushed back down in her seat by Brittany who doesn't even say a word.
Quinn furrows her brow and leans towards Santana whispering, "I thought we had this over with. When did they even practice?"
Santana grunts and folds her arms, her eyes never leaving their forms as they set up, "Hell if I know. They're freakin ninjas when it comes to performing apparently."
