"Quinn we're the hell have you been? You didn't answer your phone or anything, we've been worried sick. I came home from work early when Mike called me. We were about to start a search." Finn went to embrace Quinn but she stepped away.
"I'm fine. I just well um." She couldn't think of anything "Well you won't believe it actually. I bumped into Sue Sylvester and her sister."
"As in cheerio's coach?" Santana asked her jaw dropping.
"Yeah that one." Quinn gave a faint smile.
"Where?" Mike asked
"At this park on the other side of town." Quinn was happy with herself, she'd made a good enough lie, or more so just skipped some details of the truth.
"Why where you on the other side of town?" Finn's forehead creased.
"No reason really just felt like exploring." She explained slowly.
"Oh ok, so why didn't you answer your phone then?" Mike asked "I wasted heaps of credit calling you."
"You don't waste credit calling people if they don't pick up doosh." Santana said rolling her eyes.
"I left voice messages so yes it did."
"Well you're an idiot anyway then. Who even checks their voicemail?"
"I do but anyway where was your phone?"
"It ran out of battery." Hopefully they believed her.
"It was on charge when I left this morning." Finn's eyebrows creased again.
"Yeah well I plugged it in but I forgot to put the power point on. Anyway with all the questions I feel like I've done something wrong. All I did was go out and happen to see Miss S with her sister and she took her sister back to the home then came and had a chat with me."
"Sorry Quinn we were just worried, you know?" Quinn nodded. Of course they were worried about her. They were scared she'd go crazy again probably because just yesterday it was Beth's birthday. Quinn couldn't believe it had been sixteen years.
"Well guys I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed now." Quinn said as she began to cross the road.
"It's only seven." Santana looked at Quinn suspiciously.
"Yeah well I have a migraine." Quinn said putting her hand to her head
'Whatever." The Latina shrugged before turning to look inside Tina and Mike's "Leila come on." She shouted. Santana was now living with the Hudsons whilst Jesse had disappeared to God knows where.

"I made dinner tonight and put the kids to bed Q." Santana said when Quinn came downstairs after her 'rest'.
"Thanks San, where's Finn?" Quinn asked picking up a tea towel to help dry the dishes
"He had to fill in for this other bloke on a business trip, last minute. He'll be back by next week." Santana put away the last plate and went into the living room plopping down on the couch, Quinn followed.
"What happened Quinn?"
"What do you mean?" Quinn's voice quivered and she knew she hadn't fooled Santana.
"Boo we've been best friends for forever, I think I'd know if you were lying to me." She raised her eyebrows
"Ok something happened but I'm not telling you what." Quinn mentally slapped herself, what if Santana guessed?
"Doesn't mean I can't guess." The Latina smiled but then saw her best friends face and frowned, "Quinn when you were asleep Finn and I talked. He knows something's up and he's worried. Please tell me, we will help you no matter what."
"But I'm not worthy of help. I'm a slut." Quinn said sighing and Santana pulled her into a hug, she didn't know what else to say just yet.

"You sure it's just a bug? We should take you to the doctors!" Tina said feeling Quinn's forehead again which was a normal temperature.
"It's only a bit of vomit. You can go. Santana will call if anything is wrong." Quinn glared at Tina "You'll be late for work. Dam kids need to learn to shut their mouths." Quinn mumbled.
"Fine but I'll be back this arvo." She warned as she got up.
As soon as Quinn heard Tina downstairs she jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom and grabbed the four pack from under the sink.
If she saw those two pink lines again she might squeal. Four kids were enough even if one was dead. Five kids and possibly three different fathers was even worse.
When her phone timer buzzed she checked the sticks nervously.
"Fuck." Three pink sticks.
