Author's Note: I've been angsting a lot today and this is sort of been something I wanted to tell for a while. Not sure if I did what I wanted to do but *shrug* Takes place after season 2 but before season 3. Quinn centric (you're shocked, I know)

I'm not sure what to say about this, because this was so gorgeous and sad. It legitimately touched something very deep in me, because I have kept a lot of my maternity clothes for nostalgic reasons and sometimes I'll come across something I haven't packed away and I'll remember a specific day-- lucky maternity shirt, always wear it to all my amnios and genetic testing days, etc) But it also touched something really dark in me because I still have the outfit I was wearing the day I gave birth to a stillborn child-- it was actually police evidence (we were hit by a drunk driver about 3 weeks before my due date) and mu husband moved heaven and earth to get it. It's very morbid, but it was one of those things where it was one of the few tangible things we had and like, keeping them was one of the last ways we could love this child. And I kind of feel like Quinn feels the same way about this dress and Beth. And like, it's so sad because every child Quin loves has to go away.

and also, sorry to Debbie Downer you, EVERY time I comment. Your fics tend to evoke a very dark period in my life, but in a really good way because I'm in the really good part of my life. Anyway. This was so gorgeous and succint and wonderful and there is not a word I would have changed.

Thank you! Your reviews tend to make my day ( I get very Wayne's World 'I'm not worthy) though you actually make me feel bad for writing what I write sometimes just because I don't want you to remember shitty things, but at the same time, it gives me a lot of confidence as a writer.

And I'm glad you pointed out that every child Quinn loves disappears because that was my whole with this. And really, it's the only logical catalyst for season 3 Quinn
