Chapter Ten

After much back and forth debate between herself and Quinn it had ultimately been decided a few days before that Rachel should be the one to tell Sam what was going on, Quinn wanted too but she felt like Sam still had ill feelings towards her. Rachel tried to argue that Sam didn't have an ill feeling towards anyone, however Quinn's mind was made up and it was down to Rachel to break the news to him - the only problem was that Rachel really couldn't find the correct way to go about him. She could just tell him outright with no hesitation but that would seem so harsh. She was honestly lost and had no idea what to do and the fact she'd been sworn to secrecy by Quinn wasn't helping matters. She couldn't even asked Kurt for his advice, and she knew sure as hell not to get Puck involved in all of this.

Rachel hadn't spoken to Quinn for a few days before she decided now was the right time to tell Sam, and as she marched determinedly down the halls of McKinley she was going through a million different thoughts in her head. If Quinn was going to have this baby, would Sam help out?... What was she thinking? Of course he would and he'd likely be a great dad too. Unless Quinn put another child up for adoption, how would Sam cope then? He was a lot more sensitive than Puck, and it was clear that even Puck was a little torn apart over being away from Beth and Rachel knew that Sam wasn't as strong or confident as Puck. But then, Rachel knew she was being selfish by thinking about the fact that Sam and Quinn had been sexually active and for some reason Rachel couldn't deny that it bothered her.

"Rachel, hey, Rachel" came Quinn's voice from behind her, she was running towards Rachel with a big happy grin on her face. Rachel hadn't seen Quinn grin like that for a very long time; though she couldn't figure out why Quinn would be so happy "I have brilliant news"

"It's twins" Rachel guessed, Quinn scowled

"Not even close" Quinn said with glee "Rachel, I'm not pregnant. I was just a few days late. I told my mom everything last night, she got me like six more tests and all of them said I wasn't pregnant. They were negative Rachel - wait, you haven't told Sam yet have you?"

"I was just on my way too" Rachel said, a little taken aback to say the least

"Well now you don't have too" said Quinn "And please, promise me you can forget this whole thing every happened. I don't want Sam knowing, there's no need for him to know now."

"Sure, I guess" Rachel said though she wasn't sure she necessarily agreed with Quinn, Sam should've known

"Thanks" said Quinn with a warm smile "And thank you for not telling anybody Rachel, I won't forget this"

And with that Quinn was gone, and deciding that things would probably be better off unsaid Rachel kept schtum about everything as she ate dinner with Sam and Puck.

Hi guys, first of all I wanna say a massive thank you to those who have read and reviewed so far

Secondly, I kinda need to explain this chapter. The reason I haven't updated this story in nearly three weeks is because I completely backed the story into a corner with the whole pregnancy scare storyline. I just couldn't think of anywhere to take the characters with it still there; so I wrote this quick and easy chapter just to nip it in the bud

The next chapter will be up shortly, and lets have some focus on just Samchel cuteness 'maybe-kinda-liking one another' for a while.
