So I'm still on the edge between St. Berry & Jesse/Quinn.. I feel so indecisive! It's terrible lol. Oh well, I wanted to get another chapter up before Regionals aired on tv so keep up with the reviews, I'm happy that people are still enjoying the story. I like writing it so it works out well =D

Quinn spent the night before regionals tossing and turning in her bed. No matter how she situated herself she couldn't get into a position that was comfortable. If she did get somewhat comfortable that would change in a matter of seconds when she was consumed by severe pains. Quinn was scared, she didn't know what was going on or why she was having such terrible pains. The pain would start in her lower back and then descend into her stomach, pelvis, and legs. Her due date was still two weeks away, these pains shouldn't have been happening so early. She wanted her mom. Her mom would know what to do to make her feel better. Mercedes and her parents were helpful but Quinn didn't want them to see her in such pain plus she didn't want to keep them up all night with her.

Regionals. The time has finally come. Mr Schuester arrived with New Directions. Ms Corcoran entered with Vocal Adrenaline. Other glee clubs were wandering around the scene too but everyone couldn't be distracted from the tension between New Directions and Vocal Adrenaline. They only made contact for at least 30 seconds before heading to their separate practice rooms but the glares that were given before parting were ones that would scare the average citizen.

Two other glee clubs would be performing before Vocal Adrenaline. New Directions were going to be last. Everyone gathered in the auditorium. Vocal Adrenaline was sitting at the back so when it came time for them to go back stage they could exit quietly without disturbing the audience. The first glee club went on stage and the competition started.

Quinn watched quietly as the first glee club sang their songs. They blew the crowd away with their rendition of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Quinn had to give them their props, they had set the bar pretty high. The next group went on stage. Baby Beth gently kicked Quinn. She ignored the pain and looked over at her fellow glee club members, they were all busy watching the next group get ready to perform. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Vocal Adrenaline getting ready to go out back. She saw Jesse. He didn't look good.

She felt worried so she followed them. Once again she used her bathroom excuse. Following Vocal Adrenaline wasn't the smartest idea considering they were supposed to be going on stage next but Quinn needed to talk to Jesse. Even though she was a member of New Directions she still wanted him to do his best. Vocal Adrenaline took over a small practice room. Ms Corcoran was getting them to do vocal exercises.

"Pssssst, Jesse." Quinn whispered, luckily for her he had been the last member to enter the room so he was the closest to the door.

Jesse stopped his warm ups and looked at the door. He saw the blonde and with a confused expression he wandered toward her. "Quinn, what are you doing here?" He asked as he went back into the hallway.

"I.. I don't know.. I was worried about you." Quinn admitted

"I'm flattered but you really shouldn't be here." Jesse shoved his hands into his pockets as he spoke. He may have used a polite word choice but Quinn could tell by his tone that he was annoyed.

Quinn was not going to accept his tone. "Jesse, what's wrong? Why did you seem so sad when you left the auditorium? Don't bother with giving me excuses. You don't have much time so just get it over with." Quinn was becoming good at speaking her mind. She wasn't going to let Jesse beat around the bush here.

Jesse avoided eye contact when he answered her, "I saw them kiss."

"Rachel and Finn.." Quinn said aloud, more to herself than him.

"Yes, when we first arrived." He mumbled.

Jesse tried to put up a wall that made it seem like the break up with Rachel didn't bother him. Quinn could see right through that wall.

They could hear Shelby giving Vocal Adrenaline a speech. Quinn knew that she needed to let Jesse go back into the room however she didn't want him to leave on such a sad note.

"Stop thinking about them."

"I'm trying but it's hard not to." Jesse sighed.

She needed to get Rachel and Finn off of his mind. He needed to think about something positive, something that wasn't depressing. A happy Jesse would pull off an amazing performance, a depressed one just wouldn't cut it. Jesse had been practicing too much lately, she wouldn't let him blow it.

"Jesse? Jesse St. James? Where are you?" Shelby called out.

Jesse looked at Quinn, "Duty calls" He said sadly.

"Wait!" With out thinking Quinn grabbed his collar and pulled his face close to hers so that she could give him a kiss.

Her grip loosened when she realized what she had just done. Jesse slowly pulled away, he seemed just as shocked as she was. Suddenly Quinn was scared, yes she had wanted to put something else on his mind but was this the right way to deal with things? What if he didn't like the kiss? What if he didn't like her in that way? She wasn't exactly the best catch, sixteen and pregnant, kicked out of her own house. Wait, why was she even thinking like this? Why did she care? They haven't even been friends for that long. This was just a spur of the moment deal, nothing more than that. Right?

"Uh.. thank you? I.." Jesse wasn't making any sense. He stumbled on his words and Ms Corcoran kept yelling his name.

"Just go." Quinn waved him away, "Good luck." she added with a sheepish grin.

Jesse waved before re-entering the practice room. "Sorry, needed a drink." he told Shelby who had been waiting for an answer. She finished her speech and now that Vocal Adrenaline was all together it was time for them to head out. The practice room was connected to another hall that lead to the stage. Jesse lead the group out there. His mind drifted to thoughts of Quinn and the kiss. He didn't know why but now he felt happier. He was beginning to feel buzzed, all pumped up and ready to rock out.

The room was dark when Quinn went back to her seat in the crowd. The spotlight started shining on Jesse as he began singing. Quinn felt herself smiling, the weird pains from the night before reared up. She grimaced and clutched at her stomach.

"Are you okay?" Artie whispered.

She took a deep breath, "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine."

Quinn tried focusing on Jesse and how good Vocal Adrenaline sounded. She hoped that if she kept her attention on them maybe the pain would stop.

"Okay guys, are you ready? Let's go" Mr Schuester said as he lead New Directions to the practice room.

When walking to the room Quinn felt even worse. The pain wasn't letting up. She tried her best to hide it and really everyone was too excited to notice. Mr Schue started giving a speech that was similar to the one Shelby had given Vocal Adrenaline. Quinn didn't pay attention at all. She felt sick and scared. Why wouldn't these pains go away? She couldn't go on stage like this.

Rachel and Finn were all set to go on first so that they could sing Faithfully. The rest of the glee club members were to stay hidden until it was time for Anyway You Want It/Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'. That bought Quinn a little time but would it be enough?

The crowd went wild when Vocal Adrenaline finished their songs. Bohemian Rhapsody was a success. Jesse wanted to go thank Quinn. He felt on top on top of the world right now. It was like how he always felt after a fantastic performance but this time it was even more amazing. Words couldn't describe.

Vocal Adrenaline exited the stage but Jesse wandered back to the practice room. When he went inside he was greeted with a room full of glares. "I left my phone in here.. I think.." He lied before someone could snap at him. He pretended to look around the room. Finn and Rachel went out to sing their song. The rest of New Directions watched them. Jesse was subtle when he moved over towards Quinn. He continued to keep up his act but unlike New Directions Jesse actually noticed that Quinn was in pain.

"Hey, are you alright?" He questioned as he looked down at her.

Quinn felt tears run down her cheek as she shook her head. "No, I think my water just broke."
