A/N This is my first Glee Fanfic. I neither own Glee nor any of it's characters. This is un-beta-d so all mistakes are mine. Review if you feel it necessary :D
Chapter One - Bringing Back The Judas
"Quinn…."
"Finn, if you've come to yell at me again, save it. I know I lied to you and I'm sorry, I don't see what else I can say."
"I was lying in bed last night, just thinking it all over, and there was one thing I just couldn't stop wondering."
"And what was that?"
"Why you did it. Why you told me and everyone else that the baby was mine and not Puck's."
Quinn says nothing
"Quinn, you don't even know how much you've hurt me, do you?"
"Finn…."
"What?"
"I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you."
"Yeah well, you did. The least you could do is tell me why."
Quinn is silent for a moment then looks at the floor. After taking a big deep breath she sits down on the bench, Finn follows.
"I was scared."
"Of what?" scoffs Finn.
"Everything." Quinn pauses for a second as a lump forms in her throat, then a tear falls.
Finn's heart softens a little for the girl he once loved.
"I know," he says, packing away all the hurt and hate into a little box in his heart. "It can't have been easy."
"It wasn't," she squeaks out through her tears. Finn hands her a tissue. "Why are you being nice to me? I mean, I basically tore out your heart and stomped all over it. I don't deserve anything from you."
"You're right. I shouldn't be trying to understand what you did, but I loved you once. I know you're not all stone inside."
"I kinda wish I was though, then I'd be able to handle all this better."
"Except for all this stuff with Puck, you're actually handling it quite fine."
"Yeah right."
"So uh, uh where are you living?" he enquires out of interest.
"Umm, kind of errm….." The rest of her sentence became lost in a mumble.
"Quinn."
"In my car."
"In your car?" asked Finn, surprised.
"Well there's hardly anywhere else, is there?"
"Grab your stuff, you're coming back to mine."
"What? I can't. Not after what I did."
"Quinn, that baby can't carry on sleeping in the car. She's not going to suffer for what you did, now are you coming or what?"
Finn led Quinn into the house through the back door. His mom was at the sink, washing dishes.
"What are you doing here!?" demanded Mrs Hudson, angrily as soon as she saw Quinn. "How dare you come into this house after what you have done to Finn!?"
"Mom, it's okay."
"No, it's not! What she did was cruel; I don't know how you can forgive her so easily."
"I'm not forgiving her. She needs somewhere to stay. I wouldn't offer, but she has nowhere else to go."
Mrs Hudson rolled her eyes. Her son always was too kind for his own good.
"Come on, we'll talk upstairs." Quinn followed Finn up the stairs and onto the upstairs landing. "I want to make a few things clear. This does not mean I like you and that we are staying together. The only reason you are here is because that baby does not deserve to suffer for what you did. You can sleep in my room; I will sleep on the couch. As soon as you get yourself somewhere else, that's when you leave and no later. This is strictly temporary. Agreed?"
"Yes, agreed. Thanks Finn. I know I don't deserve it, but thanks."
Finn nodded in acknowledgement and walked back downstairs, while Quinn went into the room he had vacated for her and stayed there for the rest of the night.
That night, Quinn lay in Finn's bed, alone except for the baby growing inside of her.
She knew it had taken a lot for Finn and his mom to allow her to stay and she was grateful, but she couldn't impose on them for much longer.
Quinn had to get a job and save some money. She needed to get a place of her own as well as pay her medical expenses. Puck would probably help a bit with the latter, but at the end of the day it was time for her to stand on her own two feet.
A/N Thanks for reading! And once again feel free to review if you feel it necessary.
