I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 15

Quinn was walking up the stairs of Rachel's porch, it had been one week after Prom, after the blonde had found out about Rachel's feelings about her and two days until the New Directions are due to head to New York. If she told you she was happy she would be lying, because she was ecstatic. Every night since Prom she had been on the phone to the brunette, sometimes it was just a quick hello because she just wanted to hear the diva's voice before she fell asleep, other times she would talk to her hours on end. Every night she would find out something new about the brunette, like last night they were taking and Rachel told her that she broke her wrist when she was five from falling off her bike, and the little Rachel wouldn't stop crying until her dads' drew gold stars all over her pink cast.

Once Quinn got to the front door she knocked and waited for someone to answer, it didn't take long for her to see Hiram's face. When Hiram saw that it was Quinn at the door his face lit up, "Oh thank goodness you're here, I can't control her... I need your help," Hiram said, quickly motioning Quinn to come in. Quinn just gave out a chuckle, "Is she that bad?"

Ever since Quinn personally apologized to the Berry men Hiram has really come around, you could almost say that he looks at Quinn as another daughter. Hiram is a man who once he trusts someone he will wear his heart on his sleeve for that person, and Quinn had definitely build and earned his trust.

"Oh yes Sweetie, she's worse than I've ever seen her, she will crack it at me or Leroy if we even talk to her... I thought I had all her diva under control... Like I thought I should have received a certificate for knowing Rachel Berry the Diva 101... But today she is just... I don't know Quinn... Please do something," Hiram was almost in tears from being so exhausted.

Quinn just kind of freaked out, what am I getting myself into, she thought. Quinn just nodded and looked at Hiram, "Okay I'll give it a go, but first could I speak to you and Leroy in private?" Quinn nervously asked.

Hiram looked at her in confusion but nodded, "I'll just get Leroy... We'll meet you in the lounge room."

Quinn made her way into the lounge room and made herself comfortable on one of the couches. It didn't take long for Hiram and Leroy to join her in the lounge room, sitting on the couch opposite her. "Hi Honey, how are you?" Leroy asked sitting down next to his husband.

The blonde gave him a small smile, "I'm good thanks, Leroy... Probably doing better than you right now, from what I have heard."

"Oh tell me about it... I don't know how to control our little one, I hope you will be going up there to try and knock some sense into her," Leroy replied. They all gave out a little laugh.

"So Sweetie, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Hiram asked.

Quinn took a deep breath in, she was definitely nervous; she actually didn't know where to start. Well here goes, Quinn said to herself, trying to pump herself up. She looked towards both Hiram and Leroy, "Well I don't know if Rachel has spoken to you about my life, but I'm gay," Quinn paused and waited for any reactions from the Berry men, but they didn't say anything. She was a little shocked by this because her saying that she is gay is a big thing for her, "Well I thought I would get at least some reaction from me telling you."

Leroy stood up and went to sit next to the blonde; he placed a comforting hand over the ex-head cheerleaders hand and looked at her, "Honestly Honey, we both had a feeling."

"Oh," was all Quinn could say.

"You know we are both fine with you being gay, it would be very hypocritical of us not to be okay with it, and we are very proud of you for coming to terms with it," Hiram added.

"So I'm guessing you wanted to say something else to us?" Leroy said with a smile.

"Yes there is, umm well Leroy and Hiram I like you daughter, I've liked her for a very long time and there was a time where I tried to hide it from myself, but I couldn't hold it in any longer... I think she's amazing, I love how she has such a big heart, I love her drive and confidence on her seeking and going after her dreams, I love how she is her own person and doesn't follow a crowd, I love how she's so forgiving... I'm not saying I'm going to use that against her, I never want to hurt her intentionally again, all I want to do is make her happy, and I'm here to ask you for permission to date her," Quinn finished her rambling nervously.
