Hey guys thanks for the amazing reviews so many notifications in my inbox :D oh onesongglory I usually put XXX's to break up the scenes and I added them TWICE and fanfiction still deleted them! Im determined to beat it this time around :D

Writing this chapter was so hard cause I've been reading some AMAZING Rachel/puck fics (ie Waking up in Vegas and Like We Never Loved at All) but your reviews made me want to write!!

Reason. It was a concept incomprehensible to Rachel Berry when Finn Hudson kissed her. She felt like there was a wrestling match going on in her head. 'He's clearly upset don't take advantage!' 'Do you know who you're kissing, stop listening to us and keep kissing him you dolt!'. To be fair Rachel was trying extremely hard to listen to the first voice but Finn's mouth on hers was the warmest most secure feeling imaginable. But she wasn't going to be anyone's revenge weapon.

"No Finn."

He looked sort of dazed at first; his anger seemed to have ebbed away during the kiss. She pushed aside the hopeful thought that she was that good at kissing and stayed focused.

"You're clearly upset, I'm guessing Quinn related, I've always been freakishly intuitive about that kind of stuff."

She could tell she was rambling. The truthful reason was that standing there looking at him she sort of regretted pulling away from him. Finn felt so out of place and out of control.

"I saw Puck with Quinn at her sonogram. I knew we were broken up and stuff but that kid is mine and she's more important than other stuff."

Rachel's heart was throbbing. She hated Quinn. She hated Puck. How could they do this to him? It was such a betrayal by both of them. She kneeled in front of him and cupped her hands around his holding them tightly together. His face was so tortured, the break-up and now this was despicable.

"You're better than this Finn Hudson and you deserve better than what they did to you."

"Thanks Rach. I'm sorry I kissed you."

Rachel blushed.

"I'm not."

A small smile came across Finn's mouth and Rachel applauded her own boldness.

"Did you see that!? Our baby has toes!! Little tiny toes and toe nails."

Quinn couldn't help but beam. Puck had the most glorious smile on his face after the sonogram and was ecstatically recalling every detail. She wanted to say 'I was there too Puck' but his enthusiasm was so sweet she didn't want to kill it.

"That kid better have a Mohawk."

"Uh! Puck it's a girl."

"I've seen a girl with a Mohawk."

Quinn rolled her eyes but still smiled. Noah didn't talk much about his family life but from the outside his home looked nice. He told her his mum wasn't too thrilled with non-Jewish girls, so they had come back to his place when she was at work. Quinn chewed her lip absentmindedly. Sooner or later Finn's mum would find out that they'd broken up and Finn's hospitality would no longer be welcome to her. Puck stopped halfway through his rant to stare at Quinn. Shit, something was wrong.

"Ok, we'll buy her a wig if she comes out with a Mohawk; no big deal?"

Quinn shook her head while fighting back the oncoming tears.

"Hey, hey what's going on?"

Quinn took big breaths. How could she have let this happen? This stupid bet was going to leave her homeless! Her parents couldn't even deal with the fact that Finn was the father, how could they accept her home when she was having Noah Puckerman's baby? She'd heard her father talk enough about Noah's dad that any connection to the Puckerman's would exile her from the family for good. She couldn't even form words she just wrapped her arms around Puck and sobbed into his shirt.

Puck was a little grossed out by the albeit hot girl blowing snot on his shirt but she smelt so damn good he just held her closer. What he didn't notice was his sister standing at the door of the kitchen watching the pair in dumbstruck horror.

Mr Schuster could sense the shift in his glee club when he came in for Thursday afternoon's rehearsal. Finn was without his usual hip attatchment Quinn and instead Rachel sat in her spot, Finn wearing an unmistakably distraught expression. They all looked like they were waiting for something and he noticed the absence of Noah also. He put on a large smile and tried coaxing them into some warm ups while they waited for the others. They didn't buy it and all eyes stayed glued to the door.

They didn't have to wait long, Puck and Quinn walked into the room walking barely centimetres apart but very consciously not touching. Mr Shue caught in the corner of his eye Rachel laying a hand on Finn's arm but brushed her off and stormed up to Puck and shoved him forcefully.

"You sick, pathetic excuse for a man. I knew you were a pig Puck, but going after your best friend's pregnant girlfriend is beneath even you."

Finn was shaking with rage and Mr Shue had to pull him away from Puck who didn't even look surprised. Quinn stepped in front of Puck to face Finn.

"Nothing is going on between us Finn."

"You're a whore. Our baby deserves better than you."

Rachel gripped Finn's arm pulling him away and Quinn struggled to keep herself together.

"Finn that's enough, stop it."

"No Rach, they're despicable. I can't even look at them. If they're in this club then count me out."

Finn shook Rachel off and stormed towards the door. Finn stopped at the doorway and turned his head back slightly.

"You are no longer welcome in my home."

No one needed to clarify to whom he spoke. Rachel shot an apologetic look at Mr Shue and ran after Finn. Quinn felt herself crumbling. Finn said he loved her, wasn't that stronger than this? Her knees began to buckle and she collapsed. Puck managed to catch her awkwardly before she hit the floor. Puck looked at the other glee members who looked at him in what was a mixture of disgust and pity. Mr Shue's expression was unreadable. He simply ushered them out the door and towards the nurse's room.

They passed Finn in the hallway and he looked wistfully at Quinn's limp body. He started to get up but Mr Shue but up a hand.

"She'll be fine Finn just cool down, you're the last thing she needs now."

Finn sunk back to the floor and Rachel returned with a cup of water and sat across from him in the hall.

"That was bad."

"Not completely unjustified, but yes it was unquestionably bad."

"I should apologise."

Rachel once again faced a dilemma. The opportunity to demolish Finn's relationship with Quinn was undeniably tempting but hurting Finn would inevitably hurt her.

"Yes, you should. You're not a cruel person Finn, you're just hurt and angry but not forgiving them will eat away at you more."

Finn just nodded his head sadly.

Mr Shue was surprised with the change he'd seen in Noah Puckerman. The womanising interior was undoubtedly still existant but looking after Quinn he seemed like he'd softened. He held her like she was made of porcelain when he placed her on the bed. He clasped her hand while the nurse gave her a check over and he rearranged the cool cloth on her head. But it wasn't until Noah placed his hand over Quinn's stomach and stroked it lovingly that the pieces fell into place. And Finn didn't even know. He had specifically used the words 'our baby'. His disappointment in both Quinn and Noah was acute but he also felt envy. They were half his age and yet they were allowed the intimateness and closeness that Terri was constantly barring him from. These kids faced with so many more complications but were able to possess something that two adults starting a family were not. Quinn's eyes fluttered slowly open and he heard Puck's sigh of relief.

"Always had a touch for the dramatics Fabray."

She smiled groggily and placed her hand over her stomach alongside his.

"I didn't fall too hard for her did I?"

"Nah, I caught you. She's made of tougher stuff anyway."

Mr Shue backed slowly out of the room allowing them their privacy. He made his way to the reception and grabbed the phone.

"I'm still homeless you know."

"We'll work something out. You, me and the kid. That's what was bothering you before wasn't it? Back at my house?"

Quinn nodded. Puck's phone began to buzz in his pocket. He placed a kiss on her forehead and whispered be right back.

It didn't take long for the Fabray's to arrive. Mr Shue stood in the door to the nurse's office waiting for them. They looked frazzled and distraught.

"Where's Quinn?"

"Recovering. She's going to be fine, I'd like a word with you both first though."

"Like hell you will, I'm seeing my daughter."

Quinn's father was fuming, this baby had ruined everything.

"Quinn collapsed today because of the overwhelming stress she's been under. I'm not telling you how to parent your child, ultimately that's up to you; but I am going to ask you how if your daughter's health and future is the price your willing to pay for your disappointment. "

Both heads poked around the door to see Quinn laying placidly on the nurse's bed. She turned her head slightly to see her parents and fear instantly gripped her.

"Oh honey!"

Quinn's mom rushed to her side and held her close.

"I'm so sorry. Come back home baby, you don't have to go through this alone."

Quinn looked curiously at her father and saw him smile and join them. He took her hand and held it to his chest.

"I've always wanted a grandchild."

Noah's mom had called. Apparently his sister had leaked the passionate embrace she'd caught Puck and the "non-Jewish girl" in. Noah explained to her as best he could the situation with the baby and eventually his mom conceded into offering Quinn a temporal place in their home. Puck was beaming at the news and was walking energetically to tell Quinn when he caught the image of Quinn and her parents, reconciled and discussing her move back home. Puck backed out of the hall and didn't stop walking until he was far away from the school.

Long update and a rather dramatic one if I may say so.
