"Wait a second. Kitty's pregnant?!" Marley shouted.
Jake instantly had to put his hand over her mouth. "Could you say that a little quieter?" he asked.
Marley sighed and looked away, she hadn't meant for it to come out so loud. She was just shocked.
"Sorry, I didn't mean for that…I just…" he said biting his lip a little as he took his hand away from her mouth.
"Is it Ryder's?" she asked.
"No. It's Puck's." he said.
"Puck? Didn't he break up with her?" Marley asked.
"Yeah, he did. But she's only just found out that she was pregnant, I mean you said it yourself she almost fainted on the way to school. Even though Puck broke up with her, he's gonna be there for her." Jake said with a small sigh.
When Kitty arrived home, she only made it as far as the living room when she found her mom sat on the sofa giving her a look, she was about to speak when she found Marley sat next to her. Kitty looked away and bit her lip.
"Marley, do you wanna go for a walk?" Kitty asked.
Marley nodded with a small grin. "I would love to." She said as she linked arms with Kitty as they left.
"I gotta say, I'm really nervous. I mean…" she said, not being able to finish her words.
"I know, Jake told me. I accused him of cheating on me and he just told me everything. You're not in this alone." She said.
"He told you everything?" she asked quietly.
"At first I thought you were carrying Ryder's baby." She said making Kitty let out a small laugh.
"Please, we went on one date, and I asked him out again, but he turned me down. He wants to find 'Katie'." She said sadly.
Marley bit her lip. She knew who 'Katie' was, but could she trust Kitty? They had gotten closer since the school shooting and all, but she wasn't sure if she could reveal this secret.
"I'm sorry Kitty; I had no idea that Ryder was still hooked to this online girlfriend thing." She said sadly.
"It's okay Marley, besides you have Jake. How is that going?" she asked with a small smirk.
"It's…its going good, we're being…you know, just the basic boyfriend and girlfriend thing." Marley said.
Kitty nodded. "Good to hear. You know if you get married to Jake then you'll be an Auntie to the baby." She said with a small smile.
"Have you decided what you're gonna do?" Marley asked.
"I have to talk to someone first before I can decide." She said with a small sigh.
"What does Puck want to do?" Marley asked.
"Who knows, we haven't really…talked about it, he just took me to the doctors to confirm it, that's all." She said.
Kitty sighed, she knew that her talk with Marley was coming to an end, but for now, at least, she knew she had to say goodnight. The only problem was how.
"Marley…I hate to cut this short, but we should really be going to bed as we have school tomorrow and all." She said.
Marley sighed a little. "Alright, well I'll see you tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow." She said with a small smile.
After Kitty and Marley had gone back to their own houses, Kitty grabbed her phone out and sent a text to Quinn.
Need some advice. Can I come over?
Kitty smiled when she got a response back.
Of course you can. I'm always gonna be here to help you out, Kitty.
Grabbing her bag she made her way out of the house and over to Quinn's. How was she gonna tell her? She couldn't exactly ask herself What Would Quinn Fabray Do in this situation. Biting her lip as more questions filled her mind, she glanced around and knocked on Quinn's door, waiting patiently.
"Kitty, is everything okay?" Quinn asked worriedly.
"I…" Was all Kitty was able to say before tears fell down her cheeks.
Quinn pulled Kitty in for a hug and led her inside. She'd never seen her little cheerleader so upset before, so for her to see Kitty like this it made her worried.
"Kitty, talk to me. What's wrong?" Quinn urged.
"I'm pregnant, with Puck's baby. Puck knows, but I don't know what to do!" she sobbed.
Quinn bit her lip as she processed the information and smiled slightly at her, this wasn't the life she had wanted for the cheerleader, she didn't want Kitty to make the wrong mistake like she had done and ended up regretting it.
"Kitty…I think you should keep the baby. Your parents can raise him or her whilst you're at school and when you come home you can take over raising him or her with Puck." She said as she rubbed the cheerleader's back.
"You…you really think I can do it? Be a mother, I mean." She asked.
"Of course. I just…don't want you to follow in my footsteps and end up regretting your choices like I did." Quinn said.
Kitty nodded. "I didn't want things to be weird…" she trailed off.
"Kitty, it won't be weird. Yes I think about how I made a mistake giving Beth up, but then I see how great Shelby is with her and how I know I made the right choice, by giving Beth a family. I want you to think long and hard about what you want, but Kitty? Don't do what I did. Talk to Puck as it's his baby as well. Decide together. He's a great father so you don't have to worry about that." Quinn said with a smile as Kitty listened to each and every word that she had just said.
"Thank you Quinn, for everything." Kitty said with a smile.
"I hope you're not thinking about going back home tonight. I could really do with having a girly sleepover. Even if it is just the two of us." Quinn said with a smile.
"I wasn't gonna go back home, I was gonna ask if I could stay the night. I still haven't told my parents yet." Kitty said.
"What? I can help you figure out something to tell them, who else knows?" she asked.
"Jake, Ryder and Marley and probably the entire school." Kitty said with a small sigh.
"Okay, a few tips when telling your darling parents that your ex-boyfriend knocked you up; 1 – Don't sing a song about pregnancy, Finn sung 'You're Having My Baby' and my dad kicked me out. 2 – Have a back-up for where you can stay if they kick you out, which will be here, no ifs, ands or buts. 3 – Don't mention how old Puck is, got it? Your parents will freak when they find out how old he is, I take it you told them that you had dated him." Quinn said, to which Kitty nodded.
"I told them that Puck was a year older than me and that he was just tall for his age." She said.
Quinn was impressed by how easily Kitty was able to lie easily to her parents and have them still thought that she's telling the truth.
"Oh and Kitty?" she asked.
"Yeah?" Kitty asked.
"If you need someone with you for moral support when you tell your parents, I'm available. I can explain how when I was your age the same thing happened to me, but with a different guy of course." She said.
"Thanks Quinn, I'd like that. Also… What are we gonna do about my cheerleading uniform?" she asked.
Quinn grinned. "Keep it. I still have mine."
When the next day came, Kitty was nervous. She was gonna tell her parents that evening when she came home from school, she sat in the classrooms and did all of the required work for those lessons, answered some questions. By lunch time, Kitty found herself sitting at one of the tables she was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even hear some of the glee club members sit down next to her, until Jake poked her playfully.
"Huh?" she asked as she was brought back from her thoughts.
"I was just asking how you were feeling today." Jake said.
"Fine, absolutely fine." She said sounding clearly distracted.
"Kitty…have you told them yet?" Marley asked.
Kitty shook her head. "I'm doing that tonight. No I don't need Puck with me." she said.
"Wait, you're telling them tonight, without Puck?" Jake asked.
"I told my parents he was a year older than us and that he's really tall for his age. Okay?" she asked.
Marley and Jake shared a glance then looked at Kitty.
"Alright, have you thought about this? As in really thought about this?" Jake asked.
"Yes, I know what I'm doing, and I know what I want." She said with a small sigh.
Kitty was now sitting through glee club bored as hell. She glanced around the room and her eyes landed on Ryder who just sat there obviously waiting to go and check if 'Katie' had given him her true identity. Kitty sighed a little as Mr Shue gave them their weekly assignment, which she didn't even listen to. She was more concerned with getting home and telling her parents about how she was pregnant and it wasn't planned and that she hopes they can forgive her.
Walking out of the room as the bell rang, she found herself face to face with Quinn.
"Ready?" Quinn asked.
"As I'll ever be." Kitty said with a small smile.
"It's all going to be okay, I'm here, Puck's here. We're on speed dial if you ever need us." Quinn said.
Kitty nodded and smiled. "Thank you."
Kitty made her way home with Quinn and waited patiently for her father to come in from the office. She was panicking. She just hoped it went as well as she wanted it to.
"Mom, dad. I have some news." Kitty said.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Spit it out!" Kitty's father barked.
"I'm pregnant. I know you both must be mad with me, but…it wasn't planned and I hope you can both forgive me." she said.
"I beg your pardon? It's that Puckerman boy isn't it? He forced you into sleeping with him…" Kitty's mother began.
"No mom! It's not Jake's…its Puck's. You know his older brother that I recently dated." She said.
"I will not have any of this Kitty! Who is this? Is she a friend? Or is she your girlfriend?" Kitty's father demanded.
"Mr Wilde, my name's Quinn. I used to go to McKinley High, I attend Yale at the moment…" she said.
"What are you doing here? How do you know Kitty?" Kitty's mom asked.
"Well…around thanksgiving, I came home for the holidays and I was asked to help out at McKinley, coaching Kitty before Sectionals. I'm here because Kitty asked me to come with her as I've been in the same situation as her, when I was her age." She said.
"So where is the child now?" Kitty's dad asked.
"I gave the baby up for adoption; she went to a lovely home. I go round there every once in a while." Quinn said.
"Oh really?" Kitty's mom asked.
"I know the woman who adopted my baby. She's my best friend's mom." Quinn said with a smile.
"So what about the father of your baby Quinn? Where is he now?" Kitty's dad asked.
"L.A. He's in film school." She said.
"He sounds lovely." Kitty's mom said.
"Enough of this chit-chat. Kitty, pack your bags! I want you gone. Go on." Kitty's dad said.
Kitty began to cry as she went up to her room with Quinn and began packing her stuff.
"Don't worry, everything will work out." Quinn said as she helped carry Kitty's things outside to Puck's car.
"Did it happen like you said it would?" Puck asked.
"Exactly. Our main concern right now is getting Kitty settled into my flat." Quinn said as she watched Jake appear from across the road and wrap his arms around Kitty.
Quinn was beginning to wonder if Kitty was becoming a mini-Quinn and if she was how far down the road would Kitty have to go down to find out that some things were meant to be a mistake. She knew in her heart that taking the cheerleader in was not a mistake. She just hoped that Kitty will talk to Puck soon and decide together on what to do next.
