Here's chapter 2! Like I've said before, sorry for the wait! Did anyone else almost cry during the promo for The Quarterback? I did! It was so heartbreaking...
I don't own Glee.
Enjoy!
Rachel drove as fast as the law allowed her to the hospital to find the others. She had Santana and Brittany in her car, while Mercedes, Tina, and Sugar were in Mercedes's car. She heard Brittany and Santana talking in the back, but she mostly ignored it.
"I hope Quinn's baby is ok," Santana said, who for once sounded concerned.
"What baby?" Brittany asked.
"Quinn's pregnant, Britt. Where have you been these past seven months?"
"For three of those months, I was working on my time machine thank you very much," the blonde remarked, sounding a bit angry with her Latina friend.
"Enough! Please stop arguing," Rachel screamed when she suddenly pushed the brake on her car, stopping at a stop sign. She knew they weren't arguing, but it was stressing her out. The former enemies had bonded over Quinn's pregnancy, and knowing that she was in danger of dying actually terrified her. And her baby too...she wondered how their baby was doing. Was she hurt? Was she fine? Her mind was clouded by all the possibilities that could happen.
Once they arrived at the hospital, they rushed into the emergency room, where all the guys from glee club were sitting in the chairs. And Rachel was surprised to see a different side to Noah when she saw him.
He was crying.
"What happened? Is she-" the brunette asked, running up to Finn immediately.
"W-we ha-haven't heard anything yet," Noah answered, choking on his own sobs, "Damn doctors. They're supposed to be keeping us up to date!"
"It'll be o-"
Finn was cut off by Noah screaming, "No, it isn't going to be ok! Did you see the size of those shards of glass in her face? Obvously not. And the baby...if something happens to our baby, I...I..."
"Noah!" out of nowhere, the Fabrays came running into the waiting room and ran towards the teenager, "What happened?"
"Qu-Quinn got in a car accident," he stammered while trying to look at them in the eyes. Rachel and Finn shot a glance at each other, knowing that once the doctor came to tell them some news, a fight was going to break out. She looked over at Cory, who was confused with the whole scenery.
"Mama, where we?" he asked. Over the summer, her son had learned how to say the five w's, I, you, me, and we. That was about it though, he was only fifteen months after all. The two parents were still proud of him either way.
"Mama?" Quinn's dad asked.
"Yes, I'm his mother," the brunette answered, keeping her eyes on her son. She didn't want to see the look on his face, since she knew it was probably bad. It was probably going to be worse when he found out about his granddaughter, "We're at something called a hospital, Little Cor. I had you here, and when you were sick we brought you here." Rachel was probably going to have to explain it to him again when he was older, but she might as well start talking to him like he was a five year old.
"Fabray? Is anyone by the name Fabray here?"
"Yes, yes we're right here," Judy Fabray said, directing the doctor with her hand towards the group. Rachel gripped onto her fiance's hand once the doctor came over. She knew emotions were going to be rush over the group of people in a matter of seconds.
"Mr. and Mrs. Fabray, as of now, you're daughter's condition is in between stable and severe. Since the car that hit her car hit the driver's side, shards of glass were thrown into her face. One in particular hit her skull it was so deep. She also suffered head trauma, so we decided to put her in a medically induced coma. Otherwise, she should be fine. As for the baby, we had to perform an emergency c-section. Since the baby is only twenty-nine weeks old, we placed her in the NICU in an incubator to help her breathe. For Miss. Fabray's sake, we might keep her comatose for one to two weeks, depending on her condition. As for the baby, she probably won't be released until she's thirty-three weeks."
"Wait a minute, what baby?" Russel asked.
"Your daughter was pregnant at the time of the accident, but like I said we had to perform an emergency c-section. It's not any of my business on what your daughter tells you, though. She's in room 402, so whenever you're ready you can go see her," the doctor walked away, and she watched as the two parents turned towards the group, looking shocked and disappointed.
"What did you do to my daughter?" the older man growled as he looked at Noah, "And when were you going to tell us about the baby?"
"Quinn didn't want to say anything about it, sir. She had been keeping it hidden from you two since February, and she planned on keeping it that way until she had the baby."
"What about the doctor's bills, though?" Judy asked.
"We've been paying for them."
The questions from the two parents kept on rolling, "What did you plan on doing with the baby once it was born?
"Give it up for adoption."
"You can go see Quinn; all of you," all of New Directions started to walk towards the elevator, but her father stopped Puck right in his tracks, "Not you. We need to talk to you."
-more-than-words-
It was weird, seeing Quinn in a weak position, while Rachel was in a better one. It wasn't a pretty sight though. She was hooked up to a ventilator to help her breathe. There was a a large gauze pad around her forehead, and small red scars scattered the left side of her face. The blonde's hair was matted, and it looked like it still had a few pieces of glass in it. The brunette went over to her head, and gently pulled the pieces of her hair and put them in her pocket. Her brown eyes flew around the unconscious body, noticing every little detail on her body. There were even scars running along her left arm, including one that was wrapped around her arm. Her baby bump was considerably smaller; it looked like she was only four months pregnant now.
"This is...I can't really describe it now..." Mercedes whispered, looking at the others aswell as Quinn.
"This is my fault," Rachel whispered, "If I hadn't decided to try on wedding dresses today, then she wouldn't be in this mess."
"It's not your fault, Rachel," Kurt said, rubbing her arm. "This had to happen for a reason. He parents were probably supposed to find out about her pregnancy this way."
"...And the baby...She was still be fine if it wasn't for me."
"Rach, it wasn't your fault. You have to realize that," this time, Finn spoke. "Like the doctor said, both Quinn and the baby will be fine."
"Maybe. We don't know what's going to happen in a week," she knew she was right. A lot could go wrong in just one week. She wondered what Noah and Quinn were going to do about their baby girl now. Were they going to keep her? Or were they going to put her up for adoption like they had originally planned? It probably all depended on what her parents thought about this. Maybe they were going to make them keep their baby girl, so they could deal with the "mistake" they made. Despite the faact that the same thing happened to her, she couldn't be happier. Finn and Rachel loved Cory with all their heart.
The only character I own is Cory Hudson.
Coming up in chapter 3: The doctors wake up Quinn from her coma. Will she be ok?
