Mercedes' best friend Quinn walked into the house and she heard sniffling. She called out her best friend's name and received no answer just continued to hear the sniffling and soft sobs. She walked in her bedroom and couldn't find her; she then walked into the bathroom in the bedroom and found her on the floor crying.

"Mercedes, what's wrong?" Mercedes couldn't say a word she just pointed toward the counter. Quinn then looked at the counter and saw what she was crying about. She immediately went to her best friend's side and hugged her and they sat there for about 10 minutes and then Mercedes finally got up and went into the bedroom and Quinn followed right behind her.

"Don't do this 'Cede."

"Don't do what Quinn? Get ready for my day. I have to go get the kids from Whitney's house"

'Then I'll come with you."

"Quinn we are not going to do this."

"Mercedes, I'm tired of this every time I try to help you, you shut me out."

"Quinn, I'm just moving on with my life. I can't just sit here."

"Mercedes, you just found out that you are pregnant and you know its Shane's baby and you were just crying about it so I know you aren't okay. I've been your best friend for years and I know that you are upset about this but pretending that you are okay isn't going to get you anywhere." Mercedes looked at her grabbing her keys walking out the door and got in her car and drove off.

Quinn sat down on the couch and got out her phone and called Whitney.

"Hey Whit, I'm heading over to your house we have to talk hopefully I get there before 'Cede does…. I explain myself later bye."

She got her keys and walked out the door and drove to Whitney's house. She couldn't have her friend going around like that she knew she had to be there for her.


Mercedes drove off from her house and went to the beach. The beach was always her spot to think since she was a little girl. She didn't want to admit to Quinn that she was scared that she was having Shane's baby. This was just the icing to the cake first she had received a call from her lawyer saying that Shane and Vanessa wanted full custody of the kids and they even claimed that Shane was using self-defense because she had anger issues and that he was scared that she was going to kill him. She was completely scared for her life and now that she had just found out she was pregnant with his baby she was scared about what type of life the baby would live. She was amazed that the baby made it through the last violent attack from Shane and knew that this baby was going to be a miracle baby. She got up from the sand and decided that it was time to go get her kids. She had no idea what was going to happen but she knew that she had to stay positive and let whatever came her way come.


She pulled up in Whitney's yard and saw Quinn's car in the yard. She took a deep breath and walked in the house and when she walked in the first people she saw was Aiden and William, Whitney's fiancé.

"Hey Will" She said as she walked into the house

"Hey Toyota. They are in the kitchen and they are expecting you. Lyric is sleeping. I tried to keep her up but she isn't feeling good so I let her sleep. Hope it's okay."

"It's fine, I'm going to go talk to them now."

"Bye Toyota"

She walked to the kitchen and saw her sister and her best friend sitting at the table drinking apple cider. Quinn looked up and saw her.

"Where have you been we were worried about you?"

"Don't worry I just took some time to think."

"You went to the beach in this weather?" Whitney said to her as she made her sister some cider

"I had to clear my mind with everything going on it was something I had to do."

"What do you mean with 'everything going on'? What's going on?" Quinn asked

Mercedes told them everything that has been going on and when she did she was in tears.

"They can't take my kids away from me and Shane has one of the best lawyers out there. He has a chance to win this. Once the divorce is final he might be able to win. By then the baby should be here."

"'Cede don't stress about that because you know we won't let that happen and Noah will definitely make sure it won't happen. Just don't stress and we will make sure this baby will be safe and stay with its mom." Whitney said to her as she rubbed her belly

"Yeah Santana and I will ensure that you have the best of the best lawyer so you can keep your kids. Don't you worry your little gorgeous head okay?"

"Okay but there is one more issue on hand though. How am I going to tell Sam about this?"

Everyone just looks at each other and thinks.
