"Have I ever told you how much I hate running?" Finn said with a laugh as they made it 2 miles.
"Yes, since we started." Artie said with a smile as they continued to run.
Finn and Artie were at the back of the squad as they ran down a seemingly endless dirt road. Everyone ahead ran in unison and repeated everything the Drill Sergeant said. Continuing their run, Finn looked around.
"Dude, where did Puck go?" He asked.
"I thought he was running next to you." Artie said, as he turned his head towards Finn.
"No, I thought he was running next to you." Finn said.
"Crap, he must have fallen behind. We have to go back for him." Artie said, as he stopped running.
"Are you crazy? We'll get in trouble again." Finn said as he slowed his running.
"You can continue to run, but I'm going back to find Puck." Artie said as he ran the opposite.
"Damn Artie. I'm going to hurt you later." Finn said as he rolled his eyes.
He started chasing after Artie to catch up. Once he finally caught up to him, they found Puck lay on the ground, trying to catch his breath.
"What happened, Puck? I thought you were in shape." Artie said with a laugh.
"I twisted my ankle." Puck said as he shot a look at Artie.
"Well, can you walk?" Finn asked.
"Not really." Puck said, sitting up.
"Well, we're not leaving you here. Let's go Puckerman." Artie said as he grabbed one of Puck's arms.
Finn grabbed the other as they hoisted him up. Puck put his arms around their necks for support as they walked him down the dirt road. The three of them started talking to pass the time as they walked the rest of the 3 miles. Puck told Artie about his plan to marry Santana. Artie laughed and made the comment that it was about time they got married. The other two laughed in agreement as the facility came into view.
"Get ready for the yelling of our lives, boys." Finn said as made it to the front entrance was.
Sitting on his ATV, the Drill Sergeant smiled as they approached.
"I was wondering when you three were going to show up. Report to Major Heyward." He said as he drove away.
"Damnit, I'd rather run the 5 miles again then talk to Major Heyward." Artie said as he led the way.
The three walked into Major Heyward's office and sat Puck down on the couch. Major Heyward turned around in his chair and stood up. He didn't say anything at first. Finally looking at them, he flashed a smile.
"Well, Privates, I'm impressed. Surprised, but impressed. Going back for a fallen friend is one of the courageous things about being in the army. It's how I got my Medal of Honor. Keep it up and we just might get along. Dismissed." Major Heyward said as he sat down.
The three thanked him and started to walk out.
"Private Hudson, a word for a few minutes." Major Heyward said, calling to Finn.
"Sir, yes sir." Finn said as he walked back in.
Artie and Puck walked away, leaving Finn to deal with him.
"Sit down son." Major Heyward said.
Sitting down, Finn started getting nervous.
"I just wanted to ask you a few things before you go. I looked through your files and your family history. Your dad served in the army, I saw." Major Heyward said, looking up at him.
"Yes sir. He was in the Marines, but killed in action while in Iraq." Finn said, getting uneasy saying that.
"I know, I was with him." Major Heyward said.
"Permission to speak freely, sir?" Finn asked.
"Permission granted." Major Heyward said.
"If you were with my dad, then how'd die?" Finn said as he took out his dad's dog tags and tossed them on Major Heyward's desk.
Major Heyward didn't say anything at first. He ran his fingers over the dog tags, reminiscing about Finn's dad.
"Well?" Finn said getting impatient.
"Your father and I were leading a squad down an old goat path. It was our job to secure a near by village, where our Intel told us that Suddam Hussein was hiding. Once we made it to the first building, the Taliban started opening fire on us. Your father and I led our troops around to flank them. It almost worked until one of the Privates slipped up and gave away our position. I had my back turn when a Taliban soldier threw a grenade. It landed only inches away. Your father jumped on it, saving not only me but our whole squad. He was a great man." Major Heyward said, giving Finn back the dog tags.
"Thank you, sir." Finn said as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"You'll make a great Marine, just like your father. Now go." Major Heyward said as he stood up and saluted Finn.
"Sir, yes sir!" Finn yelled as he saluted him.
Finn walked out of the office. Finding Artie and Puck, he told them everything that Major Heyward had told him. The other two were amazed at his father's bravery. Changing the mood, Artie told them that dinner was ready. The three of them walked to the Mess Hall, talking and laughing.
"Why do I feel so bad?" Quinn said as she got out of bed, later that night.
Quinn walked into the bathroom and started throwing up a little. Not really putting any thought in it, Quinn did the E-P-T Pregnancy Test. After a few seconds, two lines showed up. Almost passing out, she fell to the ground.
"I'm…pregnant…" Quinn said as tears fell down her eyes.
A whole new wave of fear came over Quinn as she grabbed her phone and called Brittany.
"Brittany, please come over here! It's an emergency." Quinn said, crying.
"Sure, Q. I'll be over as soon as I can." Brittany said as she hung up.
Pacing back and force, Quinn started thinking of what she could do. After twenty minutes, Brittany knocked on her door. Letting her in, Quinn led her into the bathroom.
"What's wrong Qu-" Brittany said as Quinn held up the E-P-T test in front of her.
Studying it for a few minutes, her jaw dropped as she looked at Quinn.
"You're pregnant? Quinn, that's great! Aw, I'm so happy for you." Brittany said as she hugged her.
"Yeah, but what about Finn? He doesn't know that I'm pregnant." Quinn said with tears.
"He'll be home soon. Surprise him. Aw this is amazing!" Brittany said cheerfully.
"I'm scared though. I don't know how Finn will react." Quinn said.
"Don't worry, Quinn. He'll be happy!" Brittany said with a giggle.
"You think so?" Quinn said with a smile.
"Of course I do! Having a baby is amazing, just look at my little Brian." Brittany said with a grin.
"True, Brian's so adorable. You're right, I shouldn't worry. I'm going to be a mom!" Quinn said with a smile as she jumped up and down with Brittany.
After talking for a little, Brittany left. She hugged Quinn and congratulated her as she closed the door behind her. Quinn slowly walked back into her room and smiled.
"I'm going to be a mother!" She repeated over and over in her head until she fell back asleep.
