Jesses was driving extremely fast it starts to freak Quinn out. All she wants is to get to the hospital and have the baby; on the way there she is praying they don't get into a car accident. Ten minutes later they arrive and Jesses speeds into a parking spot, and then helps Quinn out of his Range Rover. Getting into the hospital it seems as if Jesse is dragging her, she can hardly keep up with him as he holds onto her arm.
"We need help... my girlfriend is in labour" Jesse Yells as he walks up to the nurses' station.
"Sir, can you calm down we will get her some help, but you have to stay calm." One of the nurses tells Jesse "what is her name and who is her doctor?" the nurse asked him.
"Quinn Fabray, " Jesse shouts
"Calm down" Quinn begs him.
"Take Quinn to room 221 and get her set up I'll let Dr. Mitchell know she is her" The first nurse tells another.
"Hi I am Kendra and I will be your nurse while I am on this shift" Kendra tells Quinn and Jesse. "How Far along are you Quinn?"
"I am 39 weeks" Quinn tells her
"That's good ... is this your first child?"
"Yes" Quinn replies. The pain starts to shoot through her body. "I need my mom" she yells at Jesse. He is kind of shocked to hear that because her mom has not been around for months. He has never even met her.
"Are you sure you want her?" Jesse asked.
"Yes, I want my mom" Quinn kind of half yells at the same time trying not to cry.
"Ok, I will call her for you; I'll leave you with the Kendra and be back in 5. Can you hold on that long?"
"Go please call now, I want her now."
"Going..."
Jesse steps outside the hospital to call Judy on his iphone.
"Judy Fabray!" She answers
"Hi, it Jesse St. James... You don't know me, but I am with Quinn at the hospital."
"Is she alright?"
"She is having her baby and wants you to come down here and be with her." Jesse tells Judy
"I will be their ASAP" she lets Jesse know and hang up the phone without saying goodbye. Then Jesse runs back to Quinn's bedside just as Dr. Mitchell walks into room.
"Hi, I am Dr. Mitchell" she informs them "Dr. Chang is out with the flu so I have been taking over his patients while he is sick. Now let's check and see how far along you are"
Jesse grabs Quinn hand as another contraction hits her. Then the doctor start to check Quinn
"you are 3 centimetres along and your water has yet to be broken. I am going to leave it for now and see if it breaks on its own. I will be back in an hour to check you again. If your water has yet to break, I'll break it for you." Dr. Mitchell let them know.
"thanks" Quinn tries to make out between contractions.
Another contraction starts to come on this one stronger then the last. "This hurts so much I want it to just all be over" she yells at Jesse.
"Just breathe, deep breaths in, out" he tries to sooth her.
"Is my mom coming" Quinn asked after the concretion was over.
"She said that she would get here ASAP"
"That's good because I really want my mom" Quinn cries.
"I know" Jesses says as he starts to rub her back, trying to make Quinn more comfortable.
Judy would have never thought she could drive so fast. She now arrives at the hospital racing into find Quinn.
"I am looking for Quinn Fabray" Judy yells at the nurses' station.
"Room 221" the nurse at the desk tells her and Judy is off running down the hall.
"Quinn!" she says as she is entering the room.
"Mom!" Quinn says as another concretion hits her
"Just breathe" Jesse tells her still rubbing her back
"Mom I need you" Quinn says between breathes
"I am right her dear. I am not going anywhere." Judy says as she walks over to Quinn bedside and holds her hand. After the concretion is over Judy addresses Jesse "Thank you for being here for Quinn, but I am here now so you don't have to stay."
Jesse starts to walk towards the door and says "Ok I'll let you..." He didn't get a chance to finish, Quinn interrupts him "Wait! I need Jesse here. Mom you can't just come in and kick him out. He has been here with me for the past month and today he was the only one who could see how much pain I was in. He cares for me mom. I love Jesse more than I have ever loved anything on this earth. He is my rock. If he leaves me I don't really know if I can get through this. So Jesse if you would please stay with me I need you." She looks over at Jesse.
Jesse walks over to Quinn bedside and starts to hold her hand "thanks for those words, it means a lot to me that you feel that way." He whispers to her before giving Quinn and kiss on the head.
"I meant everything I said, you are my rock. You are the only thing that has been constant in my life for the past month." She tells him.
Almost an hour later Dr. Mitchell comes back into the room. "How are you feeling Quinn?"
"I am in so much pain I just want this to be over." Quinn replies.
"Ok, Well I am going to check you and break your water." Dr. Mitchell let them know. "You are still 3 centimetres. Now I will break the water... Ok all done. The contractions are going to start coming on stronger and more frequent. Let me know if you need anything." The doctor informs Quinn.
"Ok I will." Quinn says trying to have a brave face on. After the doctor leave the room Quinn looks up at her mom and asks "why is this taking so long?" then a contraction comes on the strongest she has felt all day. "help" she screams "Make it stop!"
"Just breathe" Jesse and Judy both tell Quinn.
"This hurts to much I need medication." Quinn yells at them.
"I'll go get the doctor" Jesse says
"No I'll go stay with Quinn" Judy tells Jesse and before he can protest she is out the door and down the hall. "I'm looking for Dr. Mitchell" she asked one of the nurses.
"I'll get her for you... what room should she come to?" The nurse asked
"Quinn Fabray." Judy said and heads back to her daughter bedside.
"Where is the doctor..." Quinn yells as Judy comes into the room.
"One of the nurses is getting her for you" Judy tells Quinn in her most loving voice.
A few minutes pass by, but for Quinn it feels like forever. Then Dr. Mitchell walks into the room.
"What can I do for you Quinn?" Dr. Mitchell asks.
"I need medication, this pain is too much." She tells the doctor as another contraction come on.
"I can't give you anything right now. I have to wait till you are 5 centimetres and the contractions are 5 minute apart. I will come back in a bit and check then maybe I can give you medication." Dr. Mitchell informs Quinn.
Quinn looks like she is about to cry, she just wants this all to be over. Jesse can barely look at her face. He doesn't want Quinn to know that he is going to cry. He doesn't like seeing Quinn hurt so much. He wishes he could take all the pain away from her.
Another hours passes by. A few times it seems like Quinn is going to rip someone's head off. She can't stand being in labour anymore. She cries for this to be over. Judy and Jesse both look at each other hoping that next time Dr. Mitchell comes in the room she will say that Quinn can get some medication, just as they have this thought the doctor walks into the room.
"Hi Quinn let's see how you are doing" the doctor says
"How am I doing... I am in so much pain so make it stop now please" Quinn begs.
"Ok well it looks like from the monitor your contractions have picked up"
"Yes" Quinn says as another one comes on "Make them stop!" she yells
"You have to breathe Quinn" the doctor tells her. After it stops Dr. Mitchell check to see how far along she is. "You are now 5 Centimetres dilated"
"Can I have the medication now?" she asked the doctor
"I will call for an anaesthesiologist to come and give you an epidural." Dr. Mitchell informs Quinn.
"Hurry!" Quinn cries out when another contraction hits her. This one makes her start to cry. She wants all the pain to go.
It doesn't seem like the anaesthesiologist can come fast enough for Quinn.
"Hi, I am going to be giving you your epidural now Quinn." The anaesthesiologist informs "I am going to need to sit up so I can put in the epidural in your back."
Jesse and the doctor both help Quinn to sit up. Judy stands back as to not get in the way.
"Now I am going to ask to lean forward and to hold onto him for me." The doctor says referring to Jesse. Quinn grabs both of Jesse arms and leans her head on his chest, then the anaesthesiologist puts in the epidural. "Ok we are all down, now you can lye back down. I want you to get some rest while you can ok."
"Ok I will try" Quinn tells the doctor. After the anaesthesiologist leaves Dr. Mitchell comes back in to see Quinn.
"How do you feel now?" she asked
"Better" Quinn replies.
"That's good, now I think you should get some rest. I will be back later to check you." Dr. Mitchell tells them before leaving the room.
"You are doing great Quinn" Judy tells her daughter while holding her hand.
"I am so proud of you" Jesse tells Quinn. "I could never be as brave as you have been through this entire thing. Please close your eyes ... we will both be here when you walk up."
"Ok I will" Quinn says as she closes her eyes and falls asleep.
Jesse and Judy are not in a room full of silence when Judy specks up. "Jesse can I say something?"
"What is it?" he asks back.
"I think you are the most wonderful man that Quinn has brought home in her life. She has had a lot of boy chasing after her, Finn being longest boyfriend. But you are different from the rest. You don't want to be with Quinn because she is popular. I can see it in your eyes, you care for Quinn. I don't think any of the other boys could be as strong as you have been. I've seen it in your eyes you want to cry because you feel bad for Quinn, but at the same time you are holding it in and being brave for her. I don't know how to thank you enough. She really needs stability in her life and now she has it because of you."
"Thanks" is all he can say before he starts to cry.
"Everything is going to be ok; I know it is ok to cry. You can let it all out; I won't tell Quinn it will be our little secret." Judy tries to console Jesse.
"You are being so nice and you don't even know me that much." He says
"I like to think I am a good judge of character." She tells him. "Can I ask you something? I really value your opinion right now because you are the closes person to Quinn."
"Yes, what is it?" Jesse asked her.
"If I was to ask Quinn to come back home with the baby do you think she would?"
"What does her father think of this?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"He is not in the picture anymore. I have been begging him for the past 5 months to let Quinn come home and each day he has said no. I got so pissed at him that I kicked him out of the house. Then a few days later I find out he was cheating on me. I confronted him and he told me it was true. So the next day I filed for divorce. I have been working up the courage for 2 week to ask Quinn home. Then she makes the first move. I don't know if I should say something or wait to see what she wants."
"I think Quinn would want to at least talk about this. When she wakes up you guys should talk." Jesse replies to her.
"ok, ya your right talking is a good next step on my part." Judy says.
Quinn sleeps a little longer before she wakes up to see Jesse and her mom both watching her.
"What's going on, why you are looking at me like that?" she asked them.
"You are just really cute when you sleep" Jesse replies to her.
"Quinn, can we talk?"
"I will leave to you alone so you can have some alone time." Jesse says before Quinn answers her mom. Judy notice the look on Quinn's face that says Jesse can't go.
"Jesse you can stay while I talk with her. You are practically family now. You are Quinn rock and that means you will be around for a long time in our lives so I want you to stay while I talk with Quinn."
Quinn lips "thank you" to her mom. "Yes mom we can talk what is it?" Quinn asked
"I want to know if you and you baby want to come home with me." Judy asked.
"I don't know, what does daddy say about this?" Quinn questioned.
"I will tell you what I told Jesse. You father is not in the picture anymore. I have been begging him for the past 5 months to let you come home and each day he has said no. I got so pissed at him that I kicked him out of the house. Then a few days later I find out he was cheating on me. I confronted him and he told me it was true. So the next day I filed for divorce. I have been working up the courage for 2 week to ask you to come home. Then you make the first move. I just hope you can find it in your heart to come back home. You can keep the baby, I will always be there to help you and I am sure Jesse will be there for the two of you as well."
"Yes I will be over so much you will get sick of me" Jesse tells her.
"I would love nothing less than to come on with Elizabeth and raise her with you mom. I have been dreaming about this for the past few months. I don't know how Noah is going to take this, but it is what I want." Quinn tells her mom and Jesse
Judy goes over in a big hug and tells Quinn how happy she is that she is going to come back home. "I will have the nursery set up before you make it out of the hospital" she lets Quinn know.
Smiles are plastered on the faces of everyone in the room. It has become one of the best days for Quinn. She now has her mother back in her life and Jesse is proving to be the biggest rock she has ever known to exist and he has become her hero.
Meanwhile this has all been going on New Directions has been over at the theatre.
"Tina, can I talk to you?" Mr. Shue asked
"Yes, what is it?" she said
"You have to do Quinn Solo"
"Ok I will shine for her, but why is she not doing it?"
"We will talk about this later go on stag now and sing your heart out." Shue tells her pushing Tina towards the stage.
After the performance is over the team runs off stage over to Mr. Shue as fast as they can.
"Now tell me where Quinn is and why she was not stage with us." Tina shouts at their teacher.
"She is in the hospital, having the baby" He tells them
"And I am not there with her" Noah screams
"Finn hold onto him before he run off" Shue tells him.
"Who is with her now... it is none of us, we are all her." Rachel stated
"Jesse is with her now at the hospital" they are informed by Will
"Jesse St. James that tool" Noah says as he tries to get away from Finns grip.
"Calm down Noah." Will tells him.
"I have to get to that hospital and be with Quinn now let me go!" Noah yells.
"No one is going anywhere that is not what wanted." Will tells everyone "she wants us to stay her perform and then wait to find out if glee club placed. So we are staying here all of us."
"you don't need us all her to wait " Noah informs Will.
"That is Quinn's wish so we are going to follow it; I am the teacher so you are going to listen to me Noah and stay put." Will says trying to stay calm.
"Jesse, why Jesse anyone but Jesse; she had to be at the hospital with him now having my baby and I can't see her" Noah cries out.
"You will see her soon enough, it is almost time to find out the results of this competition and then you are free to go." Finn says trying to make his best friend feel better.
"Will all the teams file on stage" a voice comes over the PA system.
"This is it we find out if we beat Jesse St. tool" Noah says as they file on stage.
"Be nice Noah" Rachel tells him.
"I would like to thank all the teams for performing at their best today. Now let's get down to the winner of this competition. The winning team goes on to Nationals and represents Ohio." The MC Tells everyone at the theatre. "2010 Regional's champion is Vocal Adrenalin."
Vocal Adrenalin is screaming with so much excitement. They are now four time Regional champions. Noah run off the stage, everyone else on the team watches him leave. It looks like Rachel is going to go after him, but Finn tells her to just let him go we can meet him at the hospital.
It seems when Quinn is labour everyone drives faster. Noah can't seem to slow down to the speed limit, all he wants is to be in that hospital room with Quinn. When he arrives at the hospital he just leaves his truck in a no parking zone not caring that it will probably be towed away.
When he gets inside he yells "Where can I find Quinn Fabray I am the baby daddy" at the nurses' station on the Labour and Delivery floor.
"Room 221" The nurse at the desk tells him. "Kendra will show you the way."
"Right in here" She tells him after they walked down the hall a bit.
"Jesse St. James!" Noah yells as he comes into the room
"Noah calm down" Jesse tells him.
"How can I be calm knowing a jerk like you is in the hospital room of the girl having my baby?"
"Yes, she is having your baby but is not your girl." Jesse yells back.
"Stop all this yelling" Quinn speaks up.
"shhhhhhh it will be ok" Judy whispers to her.
"I would just like to say at least I have been here when no one else was." Jesse tells Noah.
"If Quinn had told me she was in labour I would have been with her" Noah yells back.
"She wanted nothing better than to be on that stage with her team today. It took all of my will to convince her to forget the performance and come here today." Jesse spat back.
"So you're the reason Quinn missed the show today." Noah Screamed at Jesse
"Ya I made her go into labour, right" Jesses said with Sarcasm.
"Stop all this yelling" Quinn says again, this time Jesse walks over to the bed.
" I am sorry for the yelling Quinn" Jesse tells her now holding Quinn's hand.
"Noah, listen to me now. You have know right coming into my room and kicking people out no matter how much you might hate them. I might as well tell you now rather than later. Jesse and I have been going out for the past few weeks. I love him more than life itself. He has always been there for me, he is my rock. I can't say the same for anyone else, especially not you. Today when we were at the theatre I went to talk with Jesse before the show and then the whole time on stage he was thinking about me because he was worried about how I was feeling. Right after he came off stage he ran over to me and asked me how I was doing. He cared about me; I can't really say that about any of my teammates. They were all caught up in their own thought and that includes you. He was the only one who took time to ask and I am so grateful for that. He is staying her and if you want to stay here too then be nice." Monitors start to make beeping sound and the Kendra, Quinn's nurse runs in.
"Quinn you have to calm down. This undue stress is not good for the baby. Please stay calm for the baby. Whoever made her stress levels go up better stop. I am thinking it was you Noah because she was fine before you got here. So I am warning you, be nice or I will have no other choice but to kick you out." She tells everyone, will she mostly directs it towards Noah.
"Noah I am going ask you to go walk it off, you can find out if everyone is here. Come back if and only if you can stay calm" Quinn orders him.
"Fine I will go" Noah says still not liking the idea that Jesse is taking care of her.
"It's going to be ok Quinn" Jesse says starting to give a back rub when Kendra has an idea.
"I will be right back ok" Kendra asks
"Ya that fine" Quinn says back
"Is room 227 open" Kendra asked Dr. Mitchell
"Yes, why are you asking me?" Dr. Mitchell replies
"I want to move Quinn to that room. I have an idea to help her with her stress levels druing labour. When I get her settled then you check her again."
"Ok sure, just page me when you are ready"
Then Kendra goes back into Quinn room and hand Jesse a pair of scrubs. "Put these on then I am moving Quinn to another room."
"ok" Jesse says kind of puzzled.
"Quinn I am going to be taking you to a room down the hall" Kendra tells her.
"Is something wrong with Quinn or the baby?" Judy asked
"No they are both fine." Kendra assures Judy
"Then why are you moving her?"
"To make her more comfortable, the idea I have should work."
"Ok then, you are the expert, I will let do what you think is best" Judy says as Kendra unhooks Quinn from the monitors. Just as Quinn is all unhooked Jesse comes out the bathroom dressed in the scrubs.
"You look really nice in those Scrubs, St. J." Quinn tells Jesse with a chuckle in her voice
" I feel pretty good" he says back to her just as Kendra is ready to move Quinn.
"We just have to walk down to the end of the hall room 227" Kendra tells them. Jesse wraps his arms around Quinn as they walk down to the new room. This room is much bigger and the bed is twice the size of the one she was in back down the hall.
"Ok Jesse hop into the best first and spread you legs open please" Kendra tells him. He was kind of puzzled about what was going on, but did as he was told. Once he was in the bed Kendra told Quinn "ok you can get into the bed and lay between his legs." Next Kendra hooked Quinn back to all the monitors.
"How is this supposed to help?" Jesse asked making sure he was doing everything right.
"If you sit with her, message her back and make sure she stays calm, mostly just hold her, it will help her to stay relaxed and bring less stress to her and the baby." Kendra tells them.
"Thanks I am sure his caring touch will relax Quinn" Judy tell Kendra
"Ok, I am going to see if Noah need help finding your new room, I'll have Dr. Mitchell come in and check you when she is free." Kendra says before leaving.
Dr. Mitchell comes to check Quinn and see how far along she is. "Hi, how are you feeling Quinn? You seem really relaxed in this room. Not so tense. "
"I am much better now thank you." Quinn tells her.
"I am just going to see how far along you are now ok" Dr. Mitchell tells her
"Ok, I hope it is going to be soon"
"You are eight centimetres, it should not be that long maybe another hour or so" Dr. Mitchell tells her. "but your epidural is going to have to be taken out soon because we need you to feel the pressure so you know when to push ... I will come back in a bit and remove it for you." She goes on before leaving. Just as she walks out the door Kendra comes back with Noah. He does not like what he sees, Quinn and Jesse in bed together. This time he decides to keep his thought to himself because he does not want to be kicked out of the room.
They don't notice him at first and Quinn tells Jesse "well I guess I could only be pain free for so long."
"Well the next set of pain will be worth it because that is when Elizabeth will be born" Jesse tell her back
"Elizabeth? I thought her name was going to be Beth" Noah speaks up. That is when the rest of the room sees that he has entered.
"Well Noah, I have decided that Elizabeth is going to be her name after my mom's mom, my grandma. You can still call her Beth, like a nickname. Please don't get mad at me." Quinn tells him.
"What other decisions have you made without me Q" Noah asks
"Well I am moving back in with my mom and Elizabeth is going to live with us." She tells he
"That is great! I will be able to see her whenever right?" he asks
"You can come over and see her anytime except in the middle of the night when we are all trying to sleep, during the day only." Quinn tells Noah
"No sleepovers" Noah gives the sad face.
"No Sleepovers, I have boyfriend not looking for another, you just be there as her dad."
Jesse is happy to hear that and kisses the top of her head.
They have some nice conversation for the next couple of hours or so. Noah, sometime during the conversation remembers to tell Jesse that his team has won at regional's today and will be going to nationals. He is only half happy about that because he knows Quinn's team had to lose. He is also sad about that because he knows most of his time will filled with practice.
Dr. Mitchell en enters the room now to see if Quinn is ready to deliver. The doctor checks her and says she is so close we just need to remove the epidural.
"Once you feel like you need to push it will be time to go. I will ask Jesse to pull back and hold her legs though each contraction so there is more space for the baby." Dr. Mitchell told him. Jesse just nods and smiles at the doctor in return.
"Ok a contraction is coming on strong I need to push now!" Quinn yells
"Ok bare down and push" Dr. Mitchell tells her
"1, 2, 3...8, 9, 10" Jesse whispers to her. Then Quinn let out a breathe
"Again" Dr. Mitchell tells her
"You are doing great" Noah says to Quinn
"Shut the Hell up Noah, you did this to me you a fuckin' did this to me, you have no right to talk." Quinn yells right before she has to push again.
"You are doing amazing": Jesse says holding Quinn through each push
"Why can he talk to you?" Noah asked
"Cuz he didn't put me in this much pain you did" She yells
"Get ready to push again ... a really big one this time Quinn" Kendra tells her
"Now!" Dr. Mitchell tells her
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 breathe Quinn" Jesse tells her
This goes on for three hours and finally Elizabeth Marie Fabray-Puckerman is born at 5:15pm May 28/2010. She is 8 lbs 4oz and 20inch. She is perfectly healthy and everyone in the room is happy. Noah is the first one to hold his daughter. Quinn allows him to show her off to the rest of their friends. This gives Jesse and Judy some alone time with Quinn.
"You did great today my dear" Judy tells her daughter.
"She is right you know, no one could of been as strong as you where." Jesse says to Quinn and then smiles at Judy. He was still sitting beings Quinn.
When Kendra came back into the room she had the two of them get off the bed and sit in a nearby chair for a few minutes while the bed sheets where changed. After they go back into the big hospital bed this time lying beside each other they cuddle close.
"I love you with everything I have inside me Quinn, I just wanted to let you know that" Jesse looks at Quinn while he told her that.
"I love you to Jesse, I am glad you were with me today. I don't know how I would have gotten through all the pain without you. I would like to say I am never letting you go, even when you do leave for collage you will be my rock. We will make this work because we love each other more than anyone can love anything." She confesses to him.
"I sure hope so because if we break up my world will be nothing" Jesse replies. Judy sits in a nearby chair taking all this in smiling because she finally knows her daughter is truly happy.
Just then Noah walks back in with Elizabeth. "Here she is, I told you mommy wasn't that far away." He said to his daughter "ready to hold her mom." Noah says to Quinn
"Yes I am." She replies, getting comfortable nestled into the arms of Jesse. Once Quinn was holding her daughter Noah steps back to take in the day's events.
