Chapter 14: Don't Pretend You're Sorry

After Rachel and Shelby caught up with their lives and ate, Rachel goes up to her room to pack more clothes. When she nears her door, she hears crying from the inside of her room. She pushes the door open to find Quinn sitting on her bed, sniffling.

"Quinn?" Rachel asks as she walks to her maid of honor.

Quinn flinches and looks back. "Oh, hi Rachel, I was just-um-looking for something," she answers.

"No, it's ok, Quinn, is something wrong?" Rachel asks sitting next to her.

Quinn sighs. "Well I guess I should just tell you," she answers.

"Quinn what's wrong?" Rachel asks again.

Quinn turns to look at Rachel and Rachel can see how scared she is. "I'm pregnant," she says.

Rachel drops her jaw. "Q-Quinn, congratulations!" she throws her arms around the blonde.

When Rachel pulls away, Quinn looks away. "It isn't something to be congratulated for, Rachel, I've made this mistake in the past and I should have learned from it."

Rachel looks at Quinn, confusion gracing her features. "What are you talking about, Quinn?"

Quinn turns to look at Rachel. "I'm scared, Puck and I agreed that we weren't going to have kids until we were ready."

"And you're not ready?"

Quinn lets out an exasperated sigh. "No, we aren't ready. I'm scared to tell him because he's not ready, I know he's not ready. He wasn't ready for Beth even though he said he was."

"Quinn, what if he is ready? I know Noah has a tendency to be a little pretentious but he can surprise you. You have forgotten that he is a skilled architect. He can provide for you and the child."

Quinn sighs. "I know I'm not giving him enough credit but I won't be able to take care of the baby, I'm still studying to be a psychiatrist t and that will take another few years. Puck can't take any time off especially now that he is an architect and already working on projects. He'll be too busy to take care of the baby. This is the wrong time to have a baby and now I can't stop it. I can't get an abortion because it goes against everything I believe in and I don't think I can give away the baby because I'm going to regret it."

"I think you have your answer, Quinn. Just tell him and you'll see where it goes from there."

Quinn sniffles. "I guess you're right, Rachel. Do you mind calling him up here for me please?"

Rachel smiles and nods. "I will and please don't do anything in here, I may not be living here at this moment, but it's still my bed."

Quinn laughs. "I promise."

Rachel and Quinn hug again before Rachel walks downstairs to find Puck. Finn sees her descending the stairs and suddenly the image of her in her pink prom dress fills his vision. He smiles his adorable crooked grin as he remembers that night.

"Finn?" Rachel's voice takes him out of his reverie.

"What?" Finn says.

Rachel is in front of him. "Finn are you ok? You were staring at me with that adorable grin of yours and when I smiled, you didn't seem to notice," she answers.

Finn berates himself internally. "God, sorry, Rach, I was thinking about you in your pink prom dress," he replies.

Rachel laughs and playfully punches Finn. "Finn, focus, have you seen Noah?" she asks.

Finn rubs his sore spot. "That hurt, Rach and I think he's in the kitchen trying to get Mercedes to tell him what's wrong with Quinn. Apparently, she's been ignoring him all night," he answers.

Rachel pats him on the arm. "Thank you, Finn," she says before she walks to kitchen while greeting her relatives and other friends. Finn follows her.

"Mercedes, please tell me what's wrong with Quinn?" Puck pleads for the hundredth time.

Mercedes sighs. "No, let her tell you," was her answer.

Before Puck could answer, Rachel calls for him. "Noah," she calls.

Puck turns to look at Rachel and Finn in the doorway of the Berry kitchen; he walks towards them, hoping to get some answers from Rachel. "Can you tell me what's wrong with my girlfriend?" he asks.

Finn chuckles, Puck and Rachel give him looks. Rachel sighs. "Yes, but I think you should go up to my room. She's in there," she answers.

Puck hugs Rachel. "Thank you, Rachel," he says before running up to Rachel's room to confront Quinn.

Puck opens the door to find Quinn getting out of the bathroom. She freezes when she sees him, he gives her a small wave, and she motions for the bed. Most of the time, Puck would cock his eyebrow and stalk towards her, but this time it's serious. He walks over to her and sits next to her on the bed. Quinn sighs as she sits next to him and faces him.

"Puck," Quinn begins, "I'm sorry for ignoring you tonight, I was just overwhelmed with something and I don't know how to tell you."

Puck takes Quinn's hands in his. "You know you can tell me anything, babe. I'm not that guy anymore, I won't be insensitive when you tell me your problems. I screwed up in this past, but you still loved me. So, you can tell me," he says.

Quinn smiles and tears start trickling down her cheeks. Puck wipes away one with the pad of his thumb. "I'm pregnant, again," Quinn confesses.

Puck looks in her eyes to see if she's screwing with him, but she isn't. He looks away, shocked and scared. Not again, he thinks to himself. "Puck, say something," Quinn urges.

Puck looks at her again, gripping her hands tighter. "I thought we use protection," he says.

Quinn scoffs. "Is that all you have to say?"

Puck realizes what he just said. "No, no, I meant I'm surprised. We were so careful."

Quinn shrugs. "Well that one night we weren't."

"Well, I'm glad we have a second chance at this, Quinn."

Quinn looks at Puck, astonished that he actually wants a baby. "Y-you're happy about this?"

Puck nods. "Yeah, I mean I missed Beth's life and I've wanted to be a father. My dad is a dead beat and I know I won't be like him because you would never let me sit on my ass and do nothing for our kids. And this time we have a stable future and careers. We have our own home and we both have grown up over the years."

Quinn tries to control her happiness. She lets it slide and engulfs Puck in a tight embrace. "I thought you wouldn't want this, Puck."

"Of course I want a child with you, Quinn. Why were you thinking that?"

Quinn looks away, ashamed that he would be insensitive about this pregnancy. "I should have known you had changed, but I was afraid. I thought you'd look at this child's life as a burden because you've started your career as an architect and I'm still in school, we both can't take care of a child, let alone an infant. Puck, we won't have time for it."

Puck takes her chin in his fingers and turns her face towards him. "We will, trust me. I'll tell them that I have a baby on the way and they'll understand."

"And what about me? I can't take time off school."

"Do you want to?"

Quinn nods. "Yes, I do. Being a psychiatrist can wait, my child needs me now."

Puck smiles. "That's my girl, I'll be here every step of the way. You're still my number one MILF."

Quinn laughs and punches Puck's arm playfully. "Some things never change."
