A/N: I realise I am now writing two Glee fics at the moment but this one was stuck in my head and needed an out. I'm going to focus on both of them equally though and update both atleast once a week. Please review if you like, hate or love it. Tell me exactly what you think even if you are just reviewing to abuse me.
Anyway as I said on the last one I don't own Glee and I may not get all the characters exactly right but I'll try my best.
Quinn Fabray's heart sank as Rachel Berry entered the New Directions choir room. The look on her face was one Quinn had once worn herself. It was a look of total despair, as though all her hopes and dreams for the future had been ripped away from her. Granted over the past few weeks Rachel had been wearing that look often, but this one was worse. It was as though all of the bad things that had obviously been happening to Berry had accumulated into one giant mess. The sad suffering look was the same one Quinn had worn when she'd found out she was pregnant.
'NO' Quinn muttered, causing Santana and Brittany to stare at her. Quinn Blushed and shrugged saying that she'd just remembered how close the regional cheer leading completions were, then returned to her thoughts. Rachel Berry could not be pregnant. She and Finn had broken up months ago and Berry wasn't stupid enough to do anything more then make out with Puck. But watching the girl confirmed Quinn's fears. She couldn't help but notice the way the other girl's hand rested cautiously on her stomach as though she was unable to fathom another life being there. Berry's eyes were filled with tears and as she listened to Mr Shue's Motivational speech it was as though he was physically pulling her broadway dreams out of her reach with each word.
What Mr Shue said should have been inspirational, but Quinn new that if Berry was thinking the same thing Quinn herself had guessed, his words were having the opposite effect on the sixteen year old diva.
Despite the cheerleader in her screaming not to do it, Quinn resolved that she was going to find out if her suspicions were correct. She figured that the best way to do this was to ask her outright. The flaw in this plan, however, was that Quinn had never been very friendly towards Berry and the younger might not trust that her motives were entirely innocent. In fact Quinn wasn't even sure what was motivating her to take an interest. Why should Quinn helpher out? She had gotten herself into that mess. But then Quinn remembered how supportive Rachel had been when she was in the same situation. Sure some of the support had been because Rachel had wanted to get with her boyfriend at the time, Finn, but most of the time it had actually been supportive. She'd even organised for the glee club to get together and sing 'lean on me'when Quinn Had been kicked out of her house. Rachel hadn't made a big deal out of that good deed either, as she'd known quinn needed to know everyone was there for her. It was time Quinn Fabray showed Rachel Berry the same curtsey.
Unsurprisingly the tiny diva rushed out of the room as soon as Mr Shue dismissed her. It was the end of the day however and Quinn knew that she'd find her at her locker, collecting sheet music and getting ready to go home. Sure enough that was exactly where Quinn approached her.
Quinn reached out to put a supportive hand on the girls shoulder and was taken aback when Rachel jumped and gave an audible shriek. She was surprised to see a look of fear flash through the brunettes deep brown eyes. It only took Rachel a moment to compose herself though.
'Quinn' she said, taking a deep breath ýou scared me. Are you here to ask for my help with the assignment Mr Shue just gave us? Because I have a lot on my plate right now and as much as I'd…"
Quinn held up her hand to interrupt Rachel's soon-to-be speech and noticed Rachel flinch. 'Relax Berry. I'm not going to hit you.' She waited until Rachel's face had relaxed again before continuing. Í actually just came to see if you were ok'
Rachel laughed at Quinns apparent concern but the blonde could tell it was forced. 'What would I have to not be ok about Quinn?'
Quinn sighed realising that as the two girls weren't exactly friends she was only one way to do this. 'You're pregnant' she said bluntly.
Rachel Dropped the encyclopaedia of show tunes she was holding and stared at Quinn open mouthed, her hand resting protectively on her flat stomach. 'How did you…' she started to gasp.
'Relax Berry. No-one else knows.' Quinn reassured her. 'I guessed after I saw you were acting the same way I did when… you know.
Tears streamed down the younger girls face and Quinn enveloped her in a hug. They weren't suddenly best friends but Quinn remembered how much she'd needed a hug when she'd first found out.
Rachel was stiff in Quinn's arms at first but soon calmed and allowed herself to sob into the taller girls Cheerios uniform.
A few minutes passed without a word being spoken then, 'Quinn' Rachel sniffed. The blonde looked down into the brunettes big brown eyes and waited for her to continue. 'Why are you being so Nice to me?'
Quinn sighed, unsure of the answer herself. 'Because Rachel, I know I Havent't been all that nice to you in the past but no-one should have to go through this alone.' She released the smaller girls from her arms and took both of her hands. 'I want us to start over, become friends, if you'll accept me that is. We can get through this together.'
Rachel smiled warmly up at her 'I've never really had many friends'
Her comment made tears gather in Quinns eyes and she hugged the girl close to her. Rachel could be annoying sure but she was sweet and no-one should have to go through life alone.
'My Dad's will kill me' Rachel said pulling herself out of the hug.
Quinn tried to look supportive. 'If you need a place to stay come to my house. My mother owes me for kicking me out so I'm sure she'll accept you'
Rachel nodded and picked her bag, getting ready to go home.
'Do you know who the father is?'Quinn asked, wondering who she'd have to bully into helping the diva.
Rachel gave Quinn a frightened look and without a word turned and sprinted out of the hallway, leaving a confused and worried Quinn staring after her.
A/N I know Quinn may seem a bit out of character but I see her as two people. Nice Quin and meanie-pants Quinn. Right now shes nice Quinn but I promise mean Quinn will be here later. Also this story isn't going to be all sad but it wont be all fluff either. It's going to have some Dark moments, but hopefully the light ones will balance it out. ANYWAY… Enjoy!
