Chapter 2: Special Guests
Quinn Fabray
"Dr Fabray, someone on the phone for you." My secretary informs me.
"Thanks, Belle." I smile as I pick up my receiver. "Dr Quinn Fabray, Paeditrician, how may I help you?"
"Quinn! Its Will Schuester, your high school glee teacher."
"Oh, hey Mr Schue! Long time no see... how you doing?"
"I'm doing great nowadays; Will Jr. is going to middle school now."
"Oh wow, congrats." I smile. Wow, can't believe it's been more than a decade since I last saw him."So is there some kind of reunion I should know about, or something?"
"No. Well sort of, this week, my glee club is getting mentors, from old glee club members. And, I was wondering, since you are in the area, and you are an original New Directions member..."
"Sure, I'd love to volunteer! I have Thursday off, so how's that?I can come over at 3."
"Perfect, thanks, Quinn. We should keep in touch more often..."
"Sure, totally. Bye."
"Bye."
I sigh. Really? My old glee club teacher, wanting me to be a mentor? Me? I was the Pregnant head cheerio... but I enjoyed glee club, even though my first intention was to get Finn Hudson, a high school sweetheart back, but then after I fell preggers, with his best friends baby, and when my whole world went tumbling down, glee club was the only place where I could let go. Set my emotions free. We all grew as a family in those three years, and those were the days I will never forget.
I hold onto my cross chain, Oh, Lord, thank you for giving me those glory days.
I comb my fingers through my shoulder length blonde locks. I look at a picture on my desk, in 2011, when New Directions won Nationals in New York, we were all posing brightly in this picture, with this huge trophy. All of us, Me, Mercedes, Kurt, Rachel, Finn, Santana, Brittany, Sam, Sunshine, Artie, Mike Chang, Tina and ...Puck.
Noah Puckerman. Oh my Gosh, the last I heard from him was in College, after him and I had a second one night stand... that morning, I had rushed out of his thrashed apartment, leaving no number, off to the drug store for a morning after pill, no way was I getting knocked up, again.
After that I moved on, since I finished pre Med, and decided to go to a Medical school to finish my studies. That's where I met my current fiancé, Ted. He's a priests nephew, and very religious. He also happens to have written many books for the Catholic Press, and is a journalist for the daily Vatican. A very suitable man, and we've been engaged for 5 years now. He is totally into Celibacy, so we live in different apartments, next door to each other, and we practice the balloon theory whenever we make out.
He doesn't know that I was a teenage mother, and I don't want him to ever find out, he would never marry me if he found out, and it would be even be worse if he found out a Jew was the father...
I turn on my radio in my office, and some BrittanyAndSantana song is playing. I can't believe that they're now A-List celebs, to think it was just the other day, when we were dancing "Say A Little Prayer" together or when Santana and I had that huge catfight, and Brittany was like, "Stop the Violence."
Rachel Berry had me on Facebook, and only really communicated with me when she advertised her latest broadway show, and 2 years ago I went to her and Finns wedding. Oh yeah, I did see Puck a bit there, but I kind of ignored him, and he got the message when he saw I had a date, my fiancé.
The only 2 people who I really communicated from the old days, are good old Mercedes and Kurt. Mercedes was now happily married, but we still had girls nights out, but not at clubs anymore, now we just kept it simple having a bit of wine and pasta at a local joint. Mercedes is a choir leader at her local church, also an accountant and I'm happy for her and she's currently trying for a baby. Kurt, on the other hand, is married to Sam, they're happily in gay marriage for quite a while now, having adopted an asian baby, that they named Mercedes-Quinn Hummel. Kurt is a vocal coach for Sopranos. Kurt also joins us for wine and pasta often, but now we have to relocate to a place with a Kiddies section.
I have many friends here at the hospital, and my life is at a stand still point now. I'm anticipating my December wedding, I've always loved winter wonderlands.
Thursday
I grin as I enter the school. William McKinley, sigh...it's been a really long time... and yet as students pass me by, I see the stereotypes, the jocks, the cheerios, the unpopular, the super unpopular, the in betweens, the nobodys, the mathletes , the Goths, the disabled... and I smelt the aroma of cheap coffee from the faculty room, and almost slip as I come across a puddle of blue slushie.
People were staring at me, "That teachers hot..."
I smile. Once I roamed these hallways, as Q, the Queen of all Queen Bees. Also for 8 months, as that pregnant slut... but that's a whole different story.
I walk with complete dignity, my head held high, no ones higher than me, except one.
"Oh my God, what happened to you?" I run into Coach Sylvester.
"Hi, Miss Sylvester." I will never call her Sue.
"You're a doctor now, Fabray?"
I notice, I'm still wearing my stethoscope and my name tag.
"Totally."
"Thats a relief. I thought after being exposed to so much gruesome exposure to the maternal ward at such a young age, you'd never step foot into a hospital again."
"Well, its exactly the opposite, now." I smile.
"I can't believe that you have so much strength in your heart to deal with Teenagers who get knocked up everyday, deliver their babies...watch them being given away...abandoned, brought into this world as a result of wine coolers and peer pressure..."
I shrug.
"But you must not feel anything, you are ofcourse, very much like me, keep it up, Q."
She pats me on the shoulder and walks away. "Oh, and your roots are showing..."
I gasp.
"Quinn!" Mr Schuester comes over to me and spreads his arms for a hug.
"Hey, Mr Schue..."
"Call me Will."
Man, has he gotten old.
"Okay, um, so I'm dying to see the 2025 glee club!"
"You're not the only one. Puck too."
I felt a dagger stab through my chest. "Puck?"
"I'm also surprised, people still call him that."
"No...he's here. Too?"
"Yeah, c'mon. They're dying to see 2 original New Directions members."
"Um, okay."
I sigh as we walk into the music room.
I immediately catch Puck's eye as I walk in, he's sitting on the piano.
"Woah." He whispers to himself.
He's just the way I remember him, he never grew up. Wow.
"Hey, Dr Fabray...long time no see." He puts out his hand for shaking.
I ignore his gesture and sigh, "Noah."
He raises his eyebrow. "Of all people to mentor my old glee club with..."
"You're right about that..."
I then notice an audience of young faces watching us. All muttering to themselves...
"Guys, as you know this week we'll be getting two mentors from the original New Directions. And these two are Noah Puckerman..."
"Call me Puck." He interrupts.
"And the lovely Dr Quinn Fabray."
"Hey, you fixed my sisters broken arm, once!" Someone shouts out.
"She looks familiar..." Someone else shouts out.
"They both have very interesting stories to tell...and they're going to explain how song helped them through their days at McKinley."
So this is what it's all about. He got me and Puck on purpose, just because of our history...oh my word.
"So, Puck you can go first."
Puck grabs his guitar. "I'm never good at stories, so I'll sing in song and Quinn here can tell the story."
I roll my eyes and sit down.
He starts singing, Beth, what can I do? And I am shocked. Now I'll have to explain why. But during the song, three cheerleaders enter in red WMHS costumes, taking a seat, reminding me of a young Brittany, Santana and I. The one in the middle was a brunette, with olive coloured skin, but as soon as I saw her face, and those beautiful hazel eyes ...I saw Puck in her eyes, and I saw me in her looks...especially her facial features. No way.
No way.
Puck also exchanges glances with me as he sings.
She smiles at the song, amused... but her eyebrow rises as she takes a glance at me. Then I hear one of the other Cheerio's mutter, "Is that chick you're long lost sister or something?"
She shakes her head.
Then if turn to see Will smiling.
When the song is finished, Puck sighs. "Quinn."
I inhale a deep breath and smile. "Hey guys,"
"Hey Dr Fabray." They say in unison.
"Well...from 2009 to 2012, I was in new Directions. Me and Puck both. And it was something new, cause, I happened to be head Cheerio when I joined. And president of the Celibacy Club. I actually only joined because my boyfriend at the time joined, and I wanted to join too. But I actually started to enjoy it, especially after I got kicked off the Cheerios..."
"Why'd you get kicked off?" Someone asks. "Cause you were in glee club?"
"well, not exactly..." I say.
"She was Preggers." Puck says monotonously. I punch him in the arm.
There were gasps. "But weren't you president of the Celibacy club?" The brunette cheerio, that I couldn't help thinking might be who I think it is, asks.
"Yeah. I was, in actual fact, I was drunk with wine coolers and feeling fat the day...of the conception..."
"Did you keep it?"
"She gave it away.' Puck said. "She gave our baby away."
"Woah...wait "our" so he's the baby daddy...ooh..." A Filipino girl blurts out.
"I had to do it, Puck." I say. "It was 15 years ago..."
"I wanted to keep her so much, I even gave her a name, but you just pushed her away, gave her to the vocal adrenaline coach..."
"Puck, you know, why I couldn't keep her..."
"Why not? Your mom wanted to, I wanted to. I wanted us to raise Beth together, Quinn!"
"BETH?" Everyone in the club blurt out in unison. All of them turn around and face the brunette Cheerio."Beth Corcoran?"
Puck sighs, "Yeah."
The Brunette Cheerio stands up, teary-eyed "I'm Beth Corcoran."
