"Quinn, come on! We're going to be late!"

Quinn rolls her eyes as she listens to her mother yelling from downstairs and takes her time lacing up her shoes. When she's finished, she stands and looks around for her purse, wondering where she threw it this time.

"Quinn!"

She sighs and figures she's gonna be forced to go without it. She throws open her bedroom door and trudges down the stairs.

"You'd think we're meeting the Queen of England," she mumbles under her breath.

Judy ignores the comment and quickly ushers her daughter out the front door. "Not now, Quinn. I told you what time Rachel's plane gets here and now we only have twenty minutes!"

Both women get in the car. Judy peels out of the driveway before Quinn even has a chance to put on her seatbelt.

"Mom, calm down. It's not like waiting a few minutes will kill her," Quinn says as they speed off to the airport.

"What's going on with you? Are you not excited that Rachel's moving back?"

Quinn shrugs, "Not really. It's been years since she left and she hasn't come to visit once. Why should we be happy to see this woman? It's not like we've ever been a priority to her."

Judy frowns, but still nods, "Yes, I know that it's frustrating. But she's going through a really hard time with the divorce and needs us right now. So it's best that we all put everything behind us and start over with a clean slate."

"Whatever you say," Quinn replies half heartedly.

"Quinn, please. Will you at least try to put in the effort with your aunt?"

"She's not even my aunt," she quips.

Judy becomes irritated. "Just because she was adopted doesn't mean she's not my sister. She is still and always will be family."

"Right. Because disappearing for eight years is how you treat your family."

Judy doesn't reply and keeps her eyes trained on the road. She knows that her daughter is right. But she's ready to move past that and just wants to have her only sister back in her life.

Rachel listens as the flight attendant announces for everyone to put on their seatbelts as they would be arriving shortly. She does so absentmindedly and stares out the window and watches as the ground gets slowly closer and closer.

She begins fidgeting with her hands, becoming increasingly nervous. She hasn't set foot in Lima since she left with Finn eight years ago. Never in her life did she think she would ever return. And yet, here she was.

She also never thought that she'd be thirty years old and divorced, but life surprises you. And sometimes not in a good way. She closes her eyes as she thinks about all that's happened in recent months.

She can't believe that she hardly knows the man that she was married to for so long. He's had four affairs with other women...that she knows of. Thinking that the list most likely extends far beyond that makes her sick. She's also disturbed to know that he was getting away with it right under her nose. If it wasn't for Finn's disgruntled former assistant telling her about everything, who knows when she would have found out, if ever.

She remembers the night that she met Finn Hudson vividly. She was twenty-two, in her last semester at Lima University. Finn was a hot shot account executive that happened to be in town for business. The had bumped into each other at a local bar one night and hit it off right away. After a wild weekend together, Rachel fell in love. When Finn returned to New York City, they kept in touch and tried to work out their relationship.

Three months later when Finn was back in town visiting, he asked her to leave school to marry him and start a life together in New York. When she told Judy, her sister was furious and had warned her against doing such a foolish thing, but Rachel didn't listen. After their parents died just a few years prior, she wanted to move forward with her life. Judy was already married to Russell and had Quinn. She wanted her shot at that life.

In the end, she agreed to marry Finn and left Lima without looking back. She played the role of stay at home wife and never had to worry about working. Until now.

Rachel sighs to herself. Things could definitely be worse right now. Luckily, she was entitled to half of their savings as well as alimony. The fact that they didn't have children made it a lot easier. And Finn didn't really fight anything with the guilt weighing down on him. She received enough money to buy a small house and live comfortably while she gets her life together. And hopefully she'll be able to reconnect with her family.

"Excuse me, miss?"

Rachel snaps out of her daze to see the flight attending smiling at her from the aisle. "We're deboarding now."

She flushes in embarrassment when she sees that nearly everyone has already exited the plane. She apologizes and grabs her things and rushes out.

Quinn and Judy scan over every passenger as they leave the gate. They've been standing there for over ten minutes already. Quinn was becoming more and more impatient.

"Do you see her, Quinn? Is that her over there? No wait it's not. I can't see her. Do you see her?"

Quinn rolls her eyes and chuckles at her mom's excitement. If she's being honest with herself, she hardly remembers what Rachel looks like. She just recalls a small girl with dark hair and loud voice.

"Oh! There she is! Rachel! Over here!" Judy waves frantically.

Quinn looks over at the smiling woman approaching them. She certainly hasn't aged that much. Time has been kind to her. Quinn can tell by the tight shirt and short shorts that Rachel's wearing that the woman is still perfectly fit. She's taken good care of herself. Quinn will give her that much.

As soon as she's within arms reach, Judy envelopes her into a hug. Quinn stifles a laugh at Rachel's face while she's trying to gasp for air.

"It's so good to see you, Judy," she squeaks out, lightly patting the other woman's back.

Judy finally pulls back. "It's good to see you too! I've missed you so much," she squeals.

Rachel smiles and turns to her niece. "And Quinn! I hardly recognize you!" She pulls the younger girl into an awkward hug, which Quinn barely returns. "You've grown up so much."

"Yeah. Eight years does that to a person," she says flatly.

Rachel is taken aback but smiles politely while Judy gives her daughter a pleading look. Quinn sighs, "But I'm happy to see you, Rachel."

Rachel smiles more genuinely this time before turning to Judy. "Was Russell not able to make it?" she asks.

"He's at work at the hospital right now. He'll be home later tonight. Only I was able to get the day off."

Rachel nods in understanding. "Well, are we all ready to go?" she asks.

"Yes!" Judy exclaims. "Let's get you to your new house!"

"So how was the flight?" Judy asks to break the silence in the car.

"It was fine. Other than the two layovers it took to get here, which was ridiculous. I'll be sending an email to the airline about that."

Quinn snorts from the backseat. Was this woman serious?

"We'll worry about that later. You're going to love the house. Even Russell thought it was wonderful when we looked at it last week. Have all of your things been sent?" Judy asks.

Rachel nods, "The movers should have brought in everything this morning. All that's left to do is unpack everything."

"Quinn and I will help you. It won't be any trouble for us."

Quinn groans internally. Speak for yourself.

"Looks like we're here!" Judy speaks up.

Quinn furrows her brow in confusion as they pull into the driveway. She had yet to come see the house so she wasn't expecting this at all. "Uh Mom, you do realize that Rachel lives one street over from us, right?"

Rachel smiles, "I just thought it would be best for me to be as close to family as possible."

Quinn unbuckles her seatbelt and jumps out of the car. Well that's just great. This means she'll probably have to put up with seeing her aunt everyday.

The three women enter the house to see several boxes piled into the living room. Each one expertly labeled, no doubt by Rachel.

"Do you want to have a look around?" Judy asks Rachel.

The brunette nods as she makes her way through the spacious living room. The dining room was the next room over, also adequately sized. And the kitchen was completely separated with a swinging door. Rachel liked that.

She returns to the living room to go out the back sliding door. She was pleasantly surprised to see a pool in the backyard. Judy didn't tell her about a pool. At least now she'll be able to relax during the summer.

She comes back in and makes her way through the living room again and into the master bedroom. It's about the same size as the bedroom she had in her New York apartment. The closet is slightly smaller, but she can live with that since it's just her now. And the en suite bathroom looked nice.

Rachel then glances around the guest bedroom before making her way back to the living room. Quinn and Judy are already moving the marked boxes to their appropriate rooms. Rachel quickly gets to helping.

"I really appreciate you both doing this," she tells them.

Judy waves her off, "It's not trouble. You're my sister after all."

Rachel hears Quinn mumble something bitterly from the kitchen. She sighs and decides to ignore it. She knew it wouldn't be easy winning the acceptance of the whole family, especially her niece. But she knew she would have to try.

Quinn was unwrapping plates and cups when she heard the kitchen door swing open behind her.

"Hey Quinn," Rachel says. She reaches into the box on the counter to help Quinn unwrap. "So your mom says that you graduate in a week, right?" she asks in an attempt to make small talk.

"That's right. The last day of school was yesterday," Quinn responds without looking at the other woman.

"Oh! That's so exciting. And you're going to Lima University in the fall? That's where I went to college."

"I know," Quinn says dryly.

"At least you'll still be able to live at home. Do you know what you're going to major in yet?" Rachel asks.

Quinn shrugs. She's becoming tired of people questioning her about her future. "Not yet. Just going to get my basics out of the way for now. And I was able to get a scholarship from cheerleading so that'll help out a lot."

"You were a cheerleader?" Rachel asks, intrigued.

"Cheerleading captain, actually," she says with a bit of pride. Anyone that survives four years with Sue Sylvester deserves bragging rights for life.

"Oh yes, she was an amazing captain," Judy joins the conversation as she enters the kitchen. "We'll have to show Rachel some of your videos sometime."

Rachel smiles excitedly while Quinn rolls her eyes. She begins to put some of the plates away in a cupboard when she feels her phone vibrate in her pocket. She pulls it out to see a text from Santana Lopez, one of her best friends.

Santana: I just ran into Brittany and fucking Trouty Mouth at the mall. They were making out in the food court...

Quinn hastily replies back.

Quinn: Don't do anything stupid!

Santana: Relax Q. I didn't kill him. I'm leaving now. It hurts too much to even be near them.

Quinn bites her lip, feeling sad knowing that her friend is hurting. Her phone buzzes with another text.

Santana: But don't worry. I'm fine.

Quinn: Do you need anything?

Santana: I think your cock would definitely help ;)

Quinn begins blushing furiously before looking up at her mother and Rachel. Judy was going on animatedly about god knows what while Rachel nodded along. Quinn turns her back to them and replies to the text.

Quinn: My place in ten? My parents are out. Let yourself in.

Santana: Already on my way.

Her day seems to have gotten better. Quinn smiles in excitement but then concentrates really hard when she realizes how close she is to a raging hard on. Yes, a hard on.

Quinn was arguably one of the most beautiful girls in all of Lima. But Quinn wasn't born a normal girl. She doesn't exactly like to be called abnormal. But that seems to be the case as she was born with a fully functional penis. This is something that absolutely baffled doctors since the rest of her was completely female. She even had two X chromosomes. Yet for some reason, she had male reproductive organs. This was a rare phenomenon that just happened to be bestowed upon her.

She had learned to accept it over the years. She managed to keep it hidden from the whole school. The only people that knew besides her family were her best friends, Santana and Puck. Santana obviously had no problem with it, as they had been hooking up for the past year, which Quinn didn't mind. She would rather do that with someone that she trusted and cared about. But there were no feelings involved and they made sure not to let it get in the way of their friendship. Quinn doesn't know what she would do without Santana. But she still hopes to find someone special to be intimate with and accept her in the future.

"Quinn, you okay?" Judy interrupts her thoughts.

Quinn nods, "I'm gonna take off. Me and Santana are gonna hang out for a little while."

Judy raises a knowing eyebrow at her daughter. "Okay. Make sure that you're both safe."

Quinn feels her face heating up, "Mom!" Her mom knew all about her and Santana's sexcapades after walking in on them one fateful afternoon. Judy wasn't surprised at all to find out that Quinn was a lesbian, given her condition. So she and her husband were more than okay with their daughter's sexuality. She just wanted Quinn to be careful and not ruin her future by getting a girl pregnant or contacting an STD.

"Better safe than sorry," Judy shrugs.

Rachel looks between the two completely confused. "Is Santana a friend of yours?"

"She's Quinn's girlfriend," Judy laughs.

Rachel looks down embarrassed, completely thrown off. "Oh. Well I'd love to meet her sometime."

Quinn slaps a hand to her forehead. "She's not my girlfriend, Rachel. She's just a friend."

"A friend. Right," Judy mocks, still chuckling.

"Whatever," Quinn says. "I'll see you guys later."

"Are you gonna come visit?" Rachel asks hopefully.

Quinn nods absently before dashing out of the kitchen and to her house.

The walk to her house was only a few minutes, which Quinn is glad for. She sees Santana's car already in the driveway on her way inside. She enters her bedroom to see her friend already sitting on the bed and playing with her phone. She makes sure to lock the door behind her.

"Were you busy?" the girl asks.

Quinn shakes her head. "Was just with my mom helping my aunt move. But I think they've got it."

Santana gives her a look of confusion. "You never told me you had an aunt."

Quinn shrugs as she moves to stand in front of the Latina. "It's a long story so I'll tell you about it later." She undoes her belt and pulls down the zipper to her pants. "Wasn't there something you wanted me to help you with?" she asks seductively while pulling herself out.

Santana smirks knowingly. She gently grabs a hold of Quinn's member before leaning her head forward.
