The One I Trust

Plot: AU Set in and after 1x13. Rachel discovers that Puck not Finn is the father of Quinn's baby. She decides to tell Finn without the knowledge of the Glee Club. What will happen when she tells him the truth? Previously Fuinn, now Finchel.

I was recently watching Season 1 and just thought about when Finn is lied to by Quinn and the Glee Club barring Rachel, he seems to forgive a lot more easily than you normally would. I wanted to try and see how the club would struggle to win back his trust in a normal situation.

Chapter 1: The Discovery

Rachel's POV.

Hi there, my name is Rachel Berry and I am from Lima, Ohio where I attend William McKinley High School. I am part of the Glee Club project known as New Directions. We are coming to our first Sectionals competition which we want to perform well in if we are going to win.

I walk into Glee Club to rehearse for Sectionals which is later this week. I see Artie, Tina, Mercedes and Kurt discussing about whom is going to replace Mr Schue as he is unable to attend the competition as Sue managed to get him suspended so we need someone else to lead us at the competition. However, that is not what is on my mind; something seems odd and has been for the last two weeks.

I go and ask the group and ask in a curious manner.

Rachel: "Hey guys. Did anyone think it was weird the way Puck rushed to Quinn's aid in rehearsal yesterday?"

The thing is Mercedes' body language was the first to change and then a load of others in the club towards Quinn Fabray. Quinn was the head cheerleader and top of the social ladder until a few weeks ago when she was kicked off the team because she is now pregnant with Finn Hudson's baby. An apparent premature ejaculation in a hot-tub make-out session caused Quinn to get pregnant with their child. Yesterday, she fell over during rehearsal and Finn went to catch her before she fell. But Noah Puckerman at the same time went to catch her and asked Finn to get hot towels before Quinn crankily told him to shut up understandably due to the hormones. But the way, Puck looked at her made me wonder is something different which led me to asking the rest of the group if they knew if something was up.

Mercedes: "(Looks at Tina awkwardly) No?"

Artie: "(Nervously) I mean. He likes her… I mean- they're friends."

Rachel: "Yeah but it seemed more than that. (Breathes) I have never told you this before but I'm a little physic. I can't read minds or anything yet but I do have a sixth sense. Something is defiantly going on there."

Mercedes: "(Stutters) Uh. We, we've got to go."

Rachel: "But we have to practise."

Kurt: "(Picking up his bag). Oh and we will. As soon as Mr Schuester names the faculty advisor to replace him."

Rachel: "There is nothing to be scared off. It isn't like I care or anything…" (Bell rings.)

Well I do. Kurt knows as much. After all, he did give me 'that' makeover when I admitted to him that I am in love with Finn. I want to be with Finn because I felt this connection the first time I was with him in the auditorium when it was just the six of us in our first rehearsal. Seeing him with Quinn makes my heart break and I was furious when I found out that Quinn was pregnant with his baby because he had led me on during a bowling trip.

I think about how much stress he is under. I tried to help him find a job to earn money to help Quinn for the baby but I have never told him about my feelings for him. It would be unfair when he thinks he is about to become a father.

I leave the choir room and my curiosity is raised when I overhear Mercedes and Kurt talking about so called baby-gate.

Mercedes: "She will have to tell him eventually."

Kurt: "I know, we can't do it. He does need to know though." (Italics are Rachel's thoughts)

What are they talking about? What does Finn not know?

Mercedes: "I think that Rachel is suspicious about it. We shouldn't tell her though."

Kurt: "She'll tell Finn if she finds out. She loves him after all."

Will I?

Mercedes: "Let's go before this escalates any faster." Both she and Kurt leave and end home.

That was awkward. Is there a secret about something that I am not trusted with? Stop, Rachel. It is probably something of nothing.

I decide to go home and try and forget about it. It is probably me being a bit nosy and not yet got over Finn. When I get home, I have dinner and do my homework. I can't wait for Sectionals after all, I have never competed at a Glee Club Competition and I want to be there and shine. It is the first step in order for me to become a star and make it big in New York and in America. There is pressure on us though. If we don't win Sectionals and then place at Regionals, there won't be a Glee Club and I will lose my friends and what I love doing.

I go to bed and sit there and wonder about the events of today. Whenever, I was by anyone from Glee today barring Finn, everyone had a cold body language towards me. Do they not like me? Did I do something that made them dislike me? I know I'm a diva but that is because I want to achieve my dreams so badly that I want to get there. I just forget about it and then go to sleep.

The following day, I get up and get ready for school. I have breakfast than I head out to go to school. We are deciding on our final set list and getting ready for Sectionals at the end of the week. I get in early because I have nothing better to do and I want to seem thrilled and ready for the competition.

I am sitting reading a magazine when I see the rest of the class come in. I see Mercedes, Tina and Kurt look at me with a funny look. I knock it off, maybe it is because what I am reading. Then I see that Puck and Quinn come in and are confronting each other. I begin to eavesdrop in on the conversion.

Quinn: "You have to go and get me to one of those Jewish Baby Tests."

Wait those don't exist? Does she think that Finn's Jewish?

Puck: "Why? Is that even a real thing?"
Quinn: "Because if there is something wrong with the baby, Terri Schuester isn't going to take it and I can't ask Finn cause he'll know something's up."

Being Jewish isn't wrong with the baby. Unless…

Puck: "Does this have to happen tonight because I have my fight club."

BAMM! That's what it is. Puck is also Jewish like me as we go to the same synagogue and Quinn thinks that the baby is part Jewish.

Emma Pillsbury takes the lesson and we decide to do Proud Mary, Don't Stop Believing and Mercedes is doing Now I'm Telling You. But all I can think about is one simple fact. The fact that the club has kept from me for so long.

Quinn is carrying Puck's child not Finn's. And Finn doesn't even know. I will tell him.
