Knocked Up

Chapter 29

After a very...eventful week, things were staring to get back to normal. Well sort of.

A few days after all the chaos was sectionals, and although Finn decided to show up and be a team player, he barely acknowledge Rachel and every chance he had, he tried to start a fight with Quinn. He was still banged up from the last one. But in the end, they all came together and won. With Rachel excellent performance of "Don't Rain On My Parade" and their group number "Somebody to love", the crowd was on their feet and New Directions were now heading to Regionals.

It's almost been a whole week since everything happened in the nurse's office, and Rachel has yet to talk to Quinn. Although she is sorry for what she said to Quinn, she still didn't know how to approach her. She didn't know if Quinn would accept her apology or not. She didn't even think she deserved Quinn's forgiveness. Not after what she did. Not after she took her anger out and said some many horrible things to someone who was just trying to help her. She felt like such a horrible person.

Now after school, Rachel was home alone pacing her room back and forth, in her pink pajama pants and tank top, as she went over the apology she would be giving Quinn the next day.

As she was in the middle of rehearsing her speech, Rachel heard a knock at her door. She wondered who it was. She knew it wasn't Brittany, cause she has her own key to Rachel's house so she can just walk in, and she highly doubts it was Finn. He could barely look at her without a look of disgust in his eyes.

You could probably imagine her surprise when she saw who was at her door.

"Quinn?" Rachel said surprised

"Hey Rach" Quinn gave Rachel a small smile.

Quinn stood at the door in a pair of blue skinny jeans, her letterman's jacket over a black graphic tee, a pair of black and blue checkered Vans, holding a black backpack.

"Um not to sound rude, Quinn, but what are you doing here?" Rachel asks

"Um well...see what happened was I was at home alone and bored but all I could think about was 'Man, I never got to answer Rachel's question.'" Quinn said

"What question?" Rachel looked confused.

"When you asked about my parents."

"Oh, that. Y-you didn't have to come all the way over here to answer that, Quinn." Rachel said

"I know, but I wanted to." Quinn said "Look the last week has been pretty shitty for us. Well actually the last few months have been shitty." Quinn half jokes, and Rachel laughs a little. "So I just thought we could use a fresh start. You know start over. And I thought that if we're gonna be in this together for the time being, we should get to know each other a little bit, right?" Quinn said

Rachel thought about it.

"Quinn, you are absolutely right." Rachel said with a shy smile.

"Cool" Quinn returned it with a shy smile of her own.

They stood at Rachel's front door for a while.

"Um Rachel, as much as I like looking at the outside of your house, are you going to invite me in?" Quinn half teases, half serious.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. How rude of me. Please come in Quinn." Rachel invites her in.

"So are your dads here?" Quinn asked curiously as she walked in the house.

"No they're still at work. Wont be home for another few hours." Rachel told her. Quinn let out a sigh of relief. Even though Rachel said that her parents were okay with everything, Quinn was still a little uneasy about meeting the men.
