CHAPTER 8
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club
Band"
BETH'S POV
I sat, looking at Joe, unbelieving.
"You're... You're my uncle..." I gasped, turning my head to face him. "No way..."
"Yeah-I looked at the attendance sheet this morning to see who I would have in my class, and when I saw the name Beth, I knew it was you. My long lost niece." he said with a grin.
"You... You knew my dad. Your related to my dad!"
He gave me a brotherly-sisterly hug. I quickly shriveled away from his grasp.
I laughed a dark chuckle. "Some great first impression I must've put on my only real uncle, huh?" I said, with a half-hearted giggle. Joe looked me in the eyes, no doubt seeing my father, which many other people who knew Puck would do.
"Lovely indeed." he said sarcastically. "Common. Let's get you down to the guidance office." I nodded. As I stood, I peeked through the room's window, seeing what was going on inside. I saw Josh shaking his head at Shaileen. I saw gaping mouths. What had happened? I wondered, as I got walked off to the guidance counselor.
BETH'S POV
I sat on the counselor's bench, located in front of her office, staring blankly at the tiles. I presence sat beside me.
"What do you want?" I said, already knowing who it was.
"I want to talk to you about this baby." Josh said, his eyes soft.
I sighed. "I'm keeping it." I stated immediately.
"Good. I want to be the best father I possibly can be." he said quietly.
I looked at him, shocked. "Really?" I said, doubtfully. My ears must be playing tricks on me.
"Yes. I wasn't responsible then, so it's my turn to be responsible now." he stated. He leaned over. I squirmed to the edge of the bench, and looked down.
"You have a girlfriend." I said, swallowing all my tears.
"I finished it." he said, pulling away, hopefully realizing that now wasn't the most appropriate time to kiss.
I just stared at him. "Do Rachel and Finn know?" he asked. I noted how he almost shook with fear at the mention of Finn. I laughed.
"What?" he asked, defensively and laughing too.
"I already told them." I said quietly. He grabbed my hand.
"I'll stand by you." he said, pressing against my vein with his thumb. I took his hand, and placed it on my stomach.
"What's that?" he said. I felt the small thing thrust in my torso too.
I just smiled at him. "No way." he said quietly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. I nodded, laughing. "What a kicker." he laughed.
The final bell suddenly rung, taking us out of the baby-happiness trance. He wrapped his arm through mine, leading me through the hall like a gentleman. He even put everything in my book-bag, and carried it out to the parking lot for me.
"You know, I'm only like four months." I stated. "I don't think I'm that fragile yet."
"I love you." he said, kissing my forehead. I nodded, and with that he was gone. Finn pulled up as the bulky school door shut.
"Hey Finn!" I said, happily.
"Hey there Beth!" he replied, as he flipped through radio stations. A song came on. Me and Finn's song came on-I we hadn't sung it together since ages ago.
"Ooo!" I squealed. He turned it up, and we both sung together.
It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.
I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Finn and I just laughed, as he shut the car off.
