Note: Two weeks after Quinn gave birth :)
Quinn was looking down as she smelled Finn's strong perfume walk past her. She's been like that since the day he knew about the father of her baby. She hasn't seen her face in a long time already but she wants to. She has always felt guilty when she hears his voice. What more if she sees his face?
"Hey babe!" she heard Puck say when she reached her locker.
She smiled. She's happy with Puck now but she still loves Finn. Well, a little bit.
She walked in Glee club with Puck and they held hands. She looked down her feet as they entered the door since she knew that Finn was already there.
Mr. Schuester stepped in and told them about their assignment. "We're gonna have another ballad assignment – and once again, it's in pairs!"
Everyone cheered including Quinn. "Do we get to choose our pairs this time?" Rachel asked. "Because Finn's gonna be my partner!"
"No, no. You're gonna get from this hat again to know who your fates are tied with." Mr. Schue said.
"Can I get one first, Mr. Schue?" Artie asked.
Mr. Schue nodded and Artie rolled his wheels forward. He got a paper from the hat and smiled. "Santana," he said and Brittany pulled on a sad face.
Puck stood up and went on next. "I hope it's Quinn," he mumbled. It was loud enough for everyone to hear and Quinn smiled.
He got a paper and frowned. Quinn instantly knew that it wasn't her. "Rachel," he said and Quinn chuckled.
"Quinn, you wanna go next?" Mr. Schue said and she nodded.
Quinn stood up, avoiding Finn's eyes, and walked to the hat. She got a paper, read what was written in it and was speechless. She blinked at least three times to make sure that she wasn't seeing things. Then, she knew that what was written was true. "Finn," she said and looked down.
The choir room fell silent for some time.
Finally, Puck stood up and broke the silence. "I object, Mr. Schue," he said.
"Me too!" Rachel said and stood up. "I don't think that their team-up is gonna work since they don't even –"Finn cut her off.
"I-I don't object," he said and everyone was quiet again. Quinn suddenly felt numb and she looked up and saw Finn's face after several months. He had dark circles under his eyes and she immediately knew that it was from those sleepless nights thinking about her and the baby that wasn't even his. Her knees shook and she felt like she was going to collapse after seeing his wretched face and knowing that it's all her fault.
Mercedes smiled at Quinn, knowing that she still feels something for Finn.
"How about you, Quinn? Are you fine in being pairs with Finn?" Mr. Schue asked.
Quinn looked at him and smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine with it."
Then, she took her seat beside Puck and felt guilty again. The bell rang and everyone stood up, excited to go home. Puck left probably upset about Quinn and Finn's pairing so he immediately went out, leaving her.
Only Finn and Quinn were left in the choir room so Quinn stood up and walked to the door.
"Quinn, hey," Quinn heard Finn say and suddenly and he was holding her wrist. He said her name for the first time after the day he knew about the baby's father. Her ears rang and she felt a little tingly.
Quinn turned around and looked at Finn.
"Let's practice later after school. Meet me outside your locker," he said.
"Do you still know where my locker is?" she blurted out.
He nodded and Quinn sighed. He still knows.
"Okay, then. Meet you in a few," she said and walked out.
As soon as Quinn was gone, Finn sighed. His heart was beating so loudly that he thinks Quinn could hear it. Yes – he still loves her. He knows that it isn't right since she has lied to him for a lot of times and made him believe that Drizzle was his, but he can't do anything about what he feels for her. He knows that she's happy with Puck now, but he still wants to get her back.
