I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 22

Once they turned around, they both laid eyes on the women they thought they would never see again, "Shelby," they both said at the same time. Rachel stayed lock-eyed with the brunette, while Quinn's moved down to look at the pram the woman was holding onto.

"Hello Rachel, Hello Quinn," Shelby said.

Rachel squeezed onto her girlfriends hand for dear life, but Quinn didn't care right now, she wasn't really feeling any pain, she felt quite numb. Only 10 meters away from her was her daughter, the little girl she thought she would never have the opportunity to see again, not a day has gone by that the blonde hasn't thought of the little one, her little one, her Beth... The only perfect thing that she had in her life before she had Rachel... Quinn's eyes were still locked on the pram, she couldn't see inside of it as Shelby was holding it at an angle. Quinn felt tears start to run down her face... When did she start crying? She doesn't know.

The brunette didn't know what to do. Shelby had hurt her so much, she had not just walked out of her life once... But twice. Rachel had tears form in her eyes but she wasn't going to show her hurt and pain to the older brunette, and she also wanted to be strong for her girlfriend because she knew this would be affecting her a lot worse. "What are you doing here?" Rachel asked. She honestly was lost for words, what are you suppose to say to a mother that abandoned you twice, 'Hi mom, how have you been? What have you been up to since you last chose to walk out of my life'.

"I thought to take Beth to the Zoo," Shelby replied, it looked like this encounter wasn't even affecting her at all... Which honestly pissed Rachel off even more.

Rachel didn't know what to say, "Oh well have fun, we better get going," she said motioning for the others to start moving but Quinn wouldn't budge, she was frozen.

"Rachel, I was wondering if we could talk," Shelby asked, it sounded like there was a hint of desperation in her voice.

The brunette couldn't hold in her anger anymore, "What about Shelby? About the fact that you abandon me as a child, then chose to come back and find me but then walk away from me again?" Rachel almost yelled.

The older brunette knew she deserved it but it still hurt hearing it come from Rachel, "Rachel, you have no idea how sorry I am for doing that to you. I wish I could take it back."

And that was it, Rachel was way too angry to think straight right now, "YOU WISH YOU COULD TAKE IT BACK?" Rachel yelled and she wasn't finish, "WELL IT'S A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THAT SHELBY."

"Rachel, I think you need to calm down," Shelby said in a soft tone.

Oh gosh she has awoken the diva in Rachel, "CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO."

They were starting to make a scene, Quinn hadn't moved from her spot next to Rachel, she was still zoned out looking at the pram to notice what was going on, Santana was almost laughing at how angry Rachel was getting then she would think about the situation and feel bad for both her friends, Brittany on the other hand was clinging onto Santana almost in tears, she has never she Rachel this upset before, not even after Finn kissed her at Nationals.

"Rachel, you're making a scene." Shelby said again in a low voice.

"I DO NOT CARE... MAYBE WE SHOULD TELL THE AUDIENCE WHAT IS GOING ON HUH... WELL PEOPLE... THIS HERE IS MY MOTHER WHO ABANDONED ME AT BIRTH THEN SHE TRIED FINDING ME AT 16 ONLY TO TURN HER BACK ON ME BECAUSE I WASN'T WHAT SHE EXPECTED... ISN'T THAT RIGHT SHELBY?"

There were gasps from the audience and most of them were getting a little freaked out by Rachel screaming so they ran away... How a small person could yell that loud... We will never know.
