Two months later-
Rachel was worried. She had missed her period for the last two months and Noah was even more distant then usual. He was with her but not with her. He was growing distant and Rachel couldn't figure out why. As she walked through the crowded halls of McKinley High her heart beat loudly as she slowly walked up to Quinn.
"Quinnie I need a favor."
"Sure doll. What's up?" Quinn asked absently not looking at Rachel's face. Closing her locker door Quinn finally turned and took a good look at Rachel's face. "Rach what's wrong?"
Shaking her head Rachel tilted her head towards the girls' bathroom. "Not here." Linking her arm with Rachel's Quinn quickly pulled Rachel into the bathroom.
"Alright girl tell me why you look like you are about to break down in tears?" Quinn questioned and was shocked when tears began gliding down Rachel's face.
"I've missed my period."
"Oh my god doll. What do you want me to do?"
"I need to get a pregnancy test but I don't want to be alone when I take it. I know that I don't do this often but would you please blow off school with me and come home with me?"
"Of course hon. Let's go. But Rach are you sure that you don't want Puck to be there for you?"
"I'm sure. He's pulling away from me Quinnie and I don't know why." As they climbed into Quinn's car and headed for the pharmacy Rachel ran in quickly and purchased as many pregnancy tests she could get her hands on. Back at Rachel's house Rachel took all 20 tests and with Quinn by her side they waited nervously for the 3 minutes. Rachel paced back and forth in her bedroom willing God and any other superior being that she wasn't pregnant. When the timer dinged Rachel stopped pacing and glanced at the bathroom nervously.
"Rachel if you don't go in that bathroom right now I will do it for you and I know you don't want that."
Rachel knew Quinn was right. And as she nervously entered the bathroom she glanced down at the tests on the counter. There in bright red and digital letters was her answer. She stumbled out of the bathroom tears streaming down her face. Quinn knew the answer without looking. Wrapping her arms around Rachel, she just held her close and let Rachel cry. When her sobs died down Quinn left her for a moment and walked into the bathroom ignoring the tests lined against the sink and filled a glass full of water. Taking it out to Rachel Quinn noticed that she had curled up into a ball on the bed.
"Rach, here drink this. It will make you feel better." Pulling Rachel into a sitting position Quinn pushed the glass into her hands. Rachel just stared at it numbly.
"Quinnie what am I going to do? Noah is never going to forgive me. He doesn't love me. He will think that I am trying to tie him down. I don't want that for him."
"Rach, relax. Everything is going to be fine. Noah loves you. Even if he hasn't said it. I see how he looks at you. So maybe he has been distant. But he's got a lot on his mind with all of us graduating next month. But you need to tell him. He has a right to know."
"I know Quinnie. And I will tell him. But how? How do I tell him that he is going to be a father at 19 Quinn? How do I tell him that our lives are going to be different from now on. What if he doesn't want me anymore?" A fresh batch of tears slid down Rachel's face and all Quinn could do was hold Rachel as she cried and rub soothing circles on her back.
