Rachel is happy sitting with glee up at lunch time eating her salad when a text message comes through and makes her phone vibrate, she sighs at the now all too familiar feeling, she bets with herself, she already knows that she's won, she already knows what the text is about. She pulls out a non-bedazzled phone, to the surprise of most of the glee club, who were now watching her having heard the sigh and seen the roll of the eyes she had given. She clicked a few buttons and opened up a text.
Rachel change of plans we're leaving early so you need to get home now- Sebastian
Rachel grits her teeth and then chews her bottom lip in frustration and then stands up, gathering all of her things, she says her goodbyes to her teammates and then shares a look with Tina, Mike and Quinn, who had already figured what was going on out, but had now gotten the confirmation they needed, all three sighed in unison as they see that look in her eyes again. She leaved without a word after that, she doesn't miss the curious look a certain Latina sent her way however.
Rachel was gone for the rest of the day, surprising some of the glee club further, most thinking she had just gone to practice a song or something. When glee club rolls around and people walk in to see the usual chair Rachel occupies empty they are all pretty certain that hell has indeed frozen over. Mr Schue walks in five minutes later and looks around the room, something was different, some was missing, it was to quiet, he looks to a certain seat and frowns.
'Where's Rachel?' he asks his eyes going to a certain blonde and an Asian couple, Mike looks from Tina to Quinn and then turns to Mr Schue and answers for everyone.
'Rachel left at lunch Mr Schue, after she got a text message' Mike explains to him, Mr Schue sighs and understanding crosses face and gives a small defeated nod, then he claps his hands and continues on with the meeting, they get ten minutes in when there's a knock at the door, everyone stops and watches as it opens and reveals a certain diva, she was stood with there with what looked to be a two year old girl in her arms, she looks in and smiles tiredly at Mr Schue, he nods and smiles at her sympathetically.
'Sorry I'm late Mr Schue, Sebastian and Joseph had to leave earlier than originally planned' Rachel told him with an eye roll, she looked down at the girl in her arms and smiled when she realised the infant was fast asleep. Rachel steps into the room and then walks to where Quinn is sitting, Mike and Tina were sat behind her.
'Quinn would you mind taking her for me?' Rachel asked the blonde, shocking all but three people in the room, Quinn nodded happily and took the tiny girl with a smile.
'So Didge it joining us for today?' Tina asked from behind, her eyes soft and on the sleeping form of the baby, a soft smile played at her lips, Rachel sat down heavily and tiredly in her seat. She nodded at the Asian sat behind her and wiped a hand across her face tiredly.
'Yeah, no babysitters at such short notice' Rachel explained and gave them a defeated shrug.
'Hold up, who the hell is this girl?' Santana snapped, Rachel had been avoiding eye contact with her since she had entered the room, just as she asked the tiny girl jumped awake, a sent filled her nose and it wasn't Rachel. The tiny girls eyes filled with tears and then she let out a cry.
'Mommy!' the tiny girl wailed and all of the rooms attention snapped to the tiny brunette in Quinn's arms, Quinn tried to calm her down as she rubbed the girls back.
'Mommy!' the girl cried once more, Rachel bit her lip and then placed a hand into the tiny outstretched one, she hated seeing the little girl in front of her cry.
'I'm right here Bridget, don't worry baby girl, Aunty Quinn's holding you' Rachel told the small infant, her voice soft and soothing as her thumb rubbed the back of the girls hand soothingly.
