This chapter hopefully clears up why Pucks brothers didn't say anything to Rachel, it's also kind of like a mash up of the pilot and preggers. Enjoy :)
Levi texted Rachel and had her meet him and Elijah at the coffee bean. They showed up about twenty minutes before she did and ordered her coffee for her. When she arrived and got comfortable they told her why she was there, Elijah spoke first. "We haven't been very good brothers lately Rach.." She noticed they were both upset about something. "Guys what's wrong? Is Noah ok?" She started to think the worst immediately and Levi had to calm her down. "Chill Rach everyone's fine, but this is about Puck. I'm sure you've noticed he's kind of a jackass now." Rachel frowned and chastised him for his language. "Sorry sorry, but anyway here's the thing." They told her about their fathers return and why Puck was acting out like he was. "I was so focused on finals I didn't even realize you two broke up." Elijah nodded in agreement. "And I just assumed He told you, he usually tells you everything. I mean I know he wasn't being that different towards you right?" Rachel shook her head.
"Noah has always been sweet towards me, it's his treatment of others I didn't approve of. I know when he slushied me it was an accident, but I thought if I broke up with him..." Her eyes filled with tears and she covered her mouth. Elijah spoke up while moving beside her to pull her into a hug. "You thought if you gave him that ultimatum he'd realize he needed to change." She sniffled and nodded wiping her eyes. "I thought he'd fight to keep me, but I was wrong and now he's with Santana..." The guys looked at each other, they knew Puck would never date anyone like her so something was off. Levi stood up and grabbed his keys off of the table. "I'll take you home, and don't worry Rach he'll realize he was an idiot and get you back. Especially since our dad is gone now." Elijah helped her up and walked her to the car.
Puck was a sophomore this year and he was determined to be his old self again, the guy Rachel Berry fell in love with. He still had Santana to deal with so that part would be hard but leaving the geeks and nerds alone wouldn't be too hard. He needed to get his grades back up bad stop slacking off. He noticed the Spanish teacher, Mr. Schuester, putting up a sign up sheet for glee club. He saw Rachel sign up immediately, he and the others were in glee last year when Sandy led the club. So once she walked away he signed up as well. Any opportunity to be near her was a good one, but of course because he signed up Santana signed up. Then Brittany and Quinn, so Finn did as well along with Kurt Hummel who had a huge crush on Finn. Kaleb signed up and got Tobias to sign up too, Levi graduated but Elijah was still there to sign up along with a few freshman and a sophomore named Mercedes.
Mr. Schue wasn't expecting such a large turn out but there was already a lot of tension between the teenagers. Puck wanted to be lead so he could sing with Rachel but Schue gave it to Finn. Because of their musical background and training from a young age it was clear the twins were the best male singers but Schue thought it would be weird pairing them with their sister. Just in case they ever had to sing a romantic duet or something so he gave Finn lead. Puck wasn't too happy about that, Tobias was mad at Finn for obvious reasons. Mercedes and Kurt complained about Rachel getting lead, and they didn't like her diva attitude apparently. The others knew how Rachel was, Tina and Artie were just kind of quiet. Santana started up with her bitchiness towards Rachel until Puck shut her up by threatening to break up with her. Quinn just looked nervous while she sat between Finn and Tobias, Brittany was telling Rachel all about her cat Lord Tubbington. Mr. Schue had to excuse himself just to get some quiet, he came back a few minutes later. "Oh guys, we didn't really get much done today but I expect you all to work out your issues before you come back tomorrow. What you are now isn't a team, we won't do well without team work. Just think about that, I'll give you your first assignment tomorrow."He dismissed them all and went to talk to Emma, maybe she could help.
That afternoon after football practice, Finn went up to Tobias by his locker. "Hey Tobi...look before you say anything or walk away I just wanted to apologize. I know it's too late to take back what I did but I was a bad friend, I miss hanging out with you." He frowned and waited for Tobias to say something. "Finn..man I...well I loved her so much, I mean I still do that's never gonna change. She changed though, and she chose you I guess I can't blame you for that. I say if we're going to be in glee club together we could at least try to be friends again." Why Finn and Tobias talked, Sue Sylvester stormed through the halls pushing them both in the process before she reached Mr. Schuester's office. "Geez that woman needs to chill out, I'll see you later Finn." A few weeks later Santana broke up with Puck. "Look Puckerman, don't read too much into this I just decided to do you a favor and set you free. Just go get Berry back and don't say I never did anything for you." She turned and walked away leaving behind a very shocked Puck. "Well this just got way easier for me." He was so happy he actually helped Jacob up when he fell and stopped a hockey player from tossing a slushy at Artie.
Finn was going over a duet with Rachel for the invitationals when he noticed Quinn outside looking as if she wanted to cry. "Um I'll see you tomorrow for practice Rach, I need to talk to Quinn right now." He quickly walked out leaving behind a very confused Rachel. "Quinn wait up, are you ok?" He caught up with her and she stopped to lean against the lockers. "I'm pregnant Finn..." He froze, it was like time stopped when he heard those words. "M-Mine..?" He managed to stutter out. "Yes yours." She sniffled. "Who else would it be? I've been with you almost a year." She wiped her eyes and looked up at him answering his questions gently. Puck had overheard the whole thing and decided he needed to talk to Quinn later.
Once she was alone he caught up with her in the hallway. "Who's the daddy Quinn? Because I know for a fact you slept with Tobi last month at that party." Quinn's face turned pale and she stooped walking. "H-How do you know about that..?" He shuddered at the memory before speaking. "I walked in on you two, my eyes still burn. Who's the real father seriously?" Quinn sighed and pulled him into an empty classroom so nobody could hear her. "It's Tobi's, I haven't slept with Finn in a while and the baby is only a few weeks along.." Puck frowned, this is exactly the situation he didn't want to get in the middle of. "You have to tell them Quinn."
"No Puck! I-I can't lose Finn I love him, I just can't..." She quickly left the room and he just stood there not knowing what to do. In his opinion Tobias would probably be a better father to the baby, he had money, he was mature. Plus the kid was actually his, Finn was a good guy but this whole thing was probably going to stress him out. He'd try to get her to tell them but right now he had other things to worry about.
The morning sickness started to affect Quinn at school, Rachel noticed she was running off to the bathroom a lot so one morning she followed her. "Quinn? Are you ok?" She could hear her sobbing in the stall. "Go away..." Quinn told her weakly, but Rachel wasn't going anywhere. She waited for Quinn to finish and the she gave her some water. "Are you going to tell me what's wrong or do I have to ask Finn?" Quinn wiped her eyes and looked at her former best friend knowing she could trust her. "I'm...I'm pregnant Rachel...and in really scared.." She started to sob and Rachel hugged her. She whispered soothing words in her ear and rubbed her back. "I'm going to be there for you Quinn if you'll let me, I miss you and our friendship." Quinn nodded and accepted her offer. "Please don't tell anyone ok?" Rachel agreed and got her a wet napkin to wipe her eyes. "Your secret is safe with me."
Please review, it'll only get better hopefully I caught all the typos :)
