AN: First a thank you for anonymous reviewer Hotdog for your suggestion for a title. I love it. Second, I feel once more that I should apologize for the wait. Third, this chapter is a bit short. And uh yeah. Enjoy.


After taking a brief break, Quinn and Rachel continued to relive their high school years. But the first thing they saw was Kurt performing a well-practiced 'Single Ladies' routine with Brittany and Tina. They both recognized the moves, having seen them when Kurt teach the team them. But then Burt came in and shut off the music. Quinn and Rachel could only watch in horror as Kurt dug himself into a hole by convincing his dad that he was on the football team. He also slapped Tina's ass.

What followed was equally painful to watch. Actually, it was worse. They had to watch more drama with Terri and her non-existent baby. Only this time she had her sister Kendra providing awful advice, and after that were even more things that Quinn wasn't interested in. She would have been content to fast forward to Lea and Dianna's scene. That's all Quinn really cared to see anyway. Rachel though insisted that they only skip sections when it was absolutely necessary.

Quinn could have argued, but she didn't like arguing with Rachel. Besides, since the two of them had gotten together, Quinn had lost most arguments with Rachel. She was kind of whipped that way, not that she would ever admit that she was. But after Sue being her typical self and asserting her dominance over the rest of the faculty the scene shifted to Lea's beautiful face. Mr. Schue handed the on-screen Rachel her sheet music, after which she complained that it was in the wrong key.

But it wasn't since Mr. Schue gave Tina the solo. Quinn could see Rachel frown she watched the scene unfold. She knew that her girlfriend had deep, personal connections to many roles. At that same time though Quinn also knew that Tina was a spectacular singer that was often overlooked. She almost never got a solo, which was really unfair in Quinn's opinion. "Hey, don't get upset," she cooed. "Tina's a great singer. Besides, you did get to play Maria when we did 'West Side Story' during senior year," she reminded.

"You're right, Tina did do a good job… I was better though."

"Of course," Quinn agreed, giving her girlfriend a kiss on the cheek.

Soon after the on-screen Rachel stormed, Kurt went to ask Finn for some help with his problem. Quinn scoffed when Finn thought he was going to ask him out to Prom. She rolled her eyes. But at least he did help Kurt out, even if he had his own selfish reasons for doing so. In that particular department Quinn couldn't really judge someone else. Kurt's tryout proved to be quite entertaining, with his once again performing the 'Single Ladies' routine before making an amazing field goal. After a quick scene with Sue, there was an up-close shot of the on-screen Quinn at her locker.

Down the hall, Finn appeared. He called for her and she turned in the opposite direction, towards the screen. She was visibly upset, on the verge of tears. And then those words came out. "I'm pregnant." Quinn froze. Rachel turned to her.

"Maybe… maybe we should skip this episode," she offered.

Quinn considered it, she really did. She loved Beth a lot but after going away to college she wasn't able to visit her much and then next thing she knew her baby girl wasn't a baby anymore. She was walking and talking and was already attending school. There was so much that she had missed. Often Quinn would wonder how things would be if she had chosen differently. Maybe she and Rachel could have raised Beth together. It was a silly though; they were far too young back then, but Quinn knew deep down that with a little help that she and Rachel could have done it. "No," she finally answered with a shake of her head. "But thanks."

It still hurt to think of Beth, to think of what she could have had and to remember how broken Rachel had been after her mother had seemingly replaced her with a new born baby girl. They had bonded after that. She did have good memories of Beth though and at least she wasn't a complete stranger in her daughter's life. It was just hard to watch someone else raise her daughter, especially when she so wanted to keep her.

The scene on screen didn't last long and soon progressed to one where Sue was visiting Sandy Ryerson. She was plotting with him to destroy Glee Club, going as far as to blackmail Figgins. Quinn had always suspected as much even though she had never known for sure. Sue was never the most trusting type. Their first plan of action was to steal Rachel away, which led to a short snippet of a wonderful number. It amazed Quinn how great of a singer Lea Michele was. She was just as good as Rachel, although Quinn would never say that aloud.

Seeing and hearing her sing made Quinn feel a lot better. She wished that she could have seen that audition in person. Quinn had been miserable at the time, but even then when she couldn't even start to think about having feelings for Rachel, Quinn had to admit that Rachel's singing always made her smile. Her voice was just so heavenly and angelic. If filled her up with warmth. It was an amazing feeling.

Rachel was always their best singer, and Quinn wasn't being bias about that. And in the scenes that followed Mr. Schue and Tina acknowledged that fact as well, but only the latter was willing to give Rachel what she wanted. Then Finn entered. He ended up telling Mr. Schue about the pregnancy and not only that but he asked for his help in trying to find a way to get the football team to win some games. He wanted him to teach the football team to dance.

After their talk the scene shifted to Mr. Schue talking with Terri. Quinn could see the gears turning in her head as she questioned Will. She knew where it was going, she had experienced it firsthand. But Quinn had never spoken about. She tried to block the memory out. It was shame perhaps. Quinn had agreed out of desperation. She was seeing her entire future crumbling around her, and her mind was plagued with thoughts of Rachel; the shiniest star in all of Lima, the one that was sure to get out of Lima, get away from all of them, get away from Quinn.

It was all overwhelming, and Quinn saw no other option. Terri was offering her a way out and so she accepted even though everything in her body was telling her not to. Quinn never really felt like she could trust Terri, never felt like she entirely stable. She was scary at times and that made Quinn worry about the safety of her child. She didn't know when the scene would show but she knew it was coming. Quinn frowned as she worried about how Rachel would react.

But watching Kurt teach the football team the 'Single Ladies' routine had her smiling again. It was a hilarious sight made even better due to the fact that no one on the team, save for Mike, had any moves at all. Coach Tanaka dissed them almost immediately, at which point Finn ending up telling Puck about the pregnancy. And of course Puck had to find the on-screen Quinn. Rachel tightly gripped onto Quinn's hands. There was more to it than just wine coolers and feeling fat. Quinn had told Rachel as much. She wouldn't have told Puck though, especially not then. The main reason was Rachel, or thoughts about her.

It had been the first time that Quinn had ever had thoughts like that, but it surely wasn't the last. She had been scared and so she had slept with him. It didn't change anything though. Quinn watched as her on-screen counterpart ran away, out of the building and into the parking lot. She cried for a bit before Terri made her presence known. They talked for a while and Quinn was reminded of how crazy Terri seemed. The scene cut short, ending before Terri revealed her intentions.

Rachel didn't say a word, but Quinn wasn't okay with being silent. "It was stupid to go along with her," she whispered. "It's just-"

"I know Quinn," Rachel interrupted with a kiss upon her hand. "It's okay."

The football game followed. It was made to look like they were being decimated, but they weren't losing that bad. In reality they had only given up two field goals. It would have been a loss but not an embarrassing one. And as the clock wound down Finn decided to call a timeout. He convinced his team to go for it; to do the 'Single Ladies' dance. It didn't exactly turn out like that in real life, but it was humorous to watch so she didn't really mind. Quinn needed a good laugh.

Kurt ended up winning them the game and afterwards he finally found the courage to come out to his dad. Burt was really a great father. Quinn wished that her dad could have been as accepting and understanding. There was a bit more to the episode but Quinn felt exhausted. She decided to lie down on the couch and brought Rachel along with her, letting out a contented sigh once she was laid down fully.

"You okay?" Rachel asked.

"I am," Quinn breathed out.

"Are you sure? I know this must be a lot for you."

"I'm sure Rachel. Beth might have been an accident, but she wasn't a mistake. Sometimes…" she slightly trailed off. "Sometimes I just wish I could have kept her." Rachel silently nodded her understanding. She gently rubbed Quinn's arm. She brought her hand up to her lips and lightly kissed her knuckles.

"I know it's not the same, and I know we haven't talked about it, but one day we'll have our own kids." Quinn could just picture it; having a little Rachel and a little Quinn running about. The thought brought a small smile upon her face.

"I'd like that."


AN: This chapter wasn't really funny but I suppose that the amount of comedy I can put into a chapter is pretty dependent on the episode that I'm writing about. There is at least a little fun to be had in the next episode simply because... Kristin Chenoweth. Just imagine Rachel's reaction.
