She knew he wasn't going to believe her, really who would, everyone 'knew she slept around' with Puck being her go to guy. She knew after the whole 'babygate' thing his mother would make certain it was his before agreeing to anything. Her parents were already pressuring her to tell them who the boy was, at this point no one else knew, she loved the girl but Brittany might accidentally blab and Quinn? Well that wasn't happening. So Santana and her parents knew, she wasn't making the same mistake Quinn had, but then again her parents weren't like Quinn's.

The first thing her parents made her do was quit Cheerios, she didn't tell Sue anything other than her parents wanted her to quit so when she showed up to Brittany's house out of uniform it confused the tall blonde, though to be honest it didn't take much to confuse her. "I'm quitting Cheerios sweetie." Santana explained.

"Okay." nodding Brittany turned around going back up the stairs to her room, Santana wasn't sure what was going on until Brittany came back out a few minutes later in a pair of tight pants and flowing light colored shirt. Holding her Cheerios uniforms on coat hangers she smiled at Santana "Ready."

"Sweetie you don't have to quit.."

Brittany shrugged "It's not the same without Quinn, it'll be worse without you, the other girls will be mean."

Santana frowned heading back to her car. "I will kick their asses."

"You can't," Brittany shook her head "you might get hit, that would hurt the ba...you." Brittany corrected herself but not quick enough.

Santana stopped, slowly turning around, Brittany was chewing her lower lip and looking at the ground, shit, she knew, how the hell did she know? "Britt?" Santana asked softly.

"You're sick like Quinn." Brittany said looking up.

"You can't tell anyone Britt, promise me." Santana held up her pinky waiting for Brittany to link hers "My parents know, well not everything but they know...I'm pregnant." the last two words came out in a whisper.

"You can stay with me." Brittany offered.

Opening the back passenger door Santana took Brittany's uniforms hanging them with hers "Thanks but I'm okay, they're not happy but they're not kicking me out. I am however grounded until I tell them who the father is."

"Oh." getting in the car Brittany waited until Santana climbed in as well "So who is it?"

Santana chuckled but said nothing other than "Don't worry about it sweetie." as she started the car.


Brittany was true to her promise, she didn't tell a soul, it Santana that betrayed herself to Quinn. Stepping out of the bathroom stall Santana sighed seeing Quinn was her barf buddy in the next stall, the girls silently rinsed their mouths out with the water bottles that Brittany handed them both. Santana had ran out of Glee, Brittany close behind, it was only moments later that Quinn had joined them due to her own morning sickness. Santana now agreeing with the blonde's earlier assessment of the misnaming of morning sickness, even as close to the end of her pregnancy as she was Quinn was still suffering. Holding onto the sink Santana exhaled saying "It's not Puck's." she didn't know if it would make a difference to Quinn but she wanted the smaller blonde to know.

"I'm sure he'll be relieved." Quinn smirked over at Santana, then softly asked "Is it..." when Santana's eyes widened Quinn stopped and simply nodded, Brittany frowned storming out of the bathroom.

"Damn it." Santana sighed.

"Why doesn't she know?" Quinn asked resting her hand on her round belly.

"She'll think it's her fault, it was her idea." Santana admitted.

"Oh."

"The bitch of it is, we used protection." Santana shook her head.

Quinn gave a bitter chuckled "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." Santana nodded in agreement. "You don't think Britt..."

"No, no. We've had the talk, she gets to play with Bean but no she has her hands full with Lord Tubbington so no babies for her until she graduates high school." Santana assured Quinn.

"If only we'd have listen to that advice." Quinn snorted.

"You were drunk and this is one stubborn Bean." Santana shook her head.

"Bean huh?" Quinn smirked.

"They told me it was the size of a lima bean, and I got tired of calling it, it." Santana shrugged, Quinn hadn't nick named hers, she wasn't even sure she was going to keep her, she'd been talking to Shelby about it. "Ready to head back?"

"They're gonna be talking." Quinn said following Santana out of the bathroom door, "Oh." Matt was leaning on the lockers across from the bathroom. "It's for you."

"Yea, I got this." Santana nodded before asking "Can you make sure Britt's okay?"

"Mike's got her in the choir room." Matt said pushing himself off the lockers offering his hand to Santana, everyone knew Santana and Matt were an on again off again couple "Rachel's already guessing why you're sick." Matt glanced at Santana's stomach. Quinn quietly slipped away, "I know it's not mine, but I'm here for you." Matt promised giving her hand a squeeze before offering "Pretty sure I'll get my ass kicked but I'll beat up Puck for you."

Santana chuckled shaking her head "Not Puck. I haven't told the dad yet, he doesn't know. My parents know, Britt, Quinn and you...possibly all of Glee club thanks to man-hands." Matt nodded walking back to the choir room with her, she could hear them getting loud most of them accusing Puck of being a man-whore which he wasn't denying but he was denying everything else. "Guess I should go save him."

"I'll say it's mine..."

"No, no babygate 2.0, I'll tell baby daddy when I know he'll believe me." Stopping before they reached the door Santana quickly inhaled and exhaled before nodding to Matt, giving her hand a squeeze he stayed by her side as she stepped in the room whistling. "I'm here so stop talking behind my back and say what you gotta say to my face." Matt chuckled watching Rachel pale, Tina spun Artie's chair to face the Latina, they were all telling Rachel to shut up or accusing Puck of being the father "Come on Hobbit, I know you wanna say it..."

"I can't believe you slept with Noah." Rachel blurted, her eyes glued to Santana's stomach. "How could you do that to your best friend?" Rachel demanded.

Santana laughed "I didn't, my name's not Puck."

"See! I told you!" Puck yelled at the group crossing his arms. "Wait..." Puck glared at Santana.

"So you're not pregnant?" Tina asked confused.

"Didn't say that." Santana slipped by Puck taking her seat next to Brittany with Matt on her other side.

"So you are?" Tina tried to get the Latina to confirm it.

"Yes Asian, I am pregnant, and I repeat it's not Puck's." Santana took Brittany's hand giving it a squeeze, the blonde wouldn't look at her.

Mr. Schuester looked at Santana "If you need anything..."

Turning in her seat Mercedes interrupted "We got you." adding with a smirk "You're a bitch but you're our bitch."

"Thanks Wheezy." Santana chuckled seeing the warmth in the curvy black girl's eyes, Quinn was right about her "Don't take it personal if I hurl on you, it just means I couldn't make it to Berry." Santana smirked, Rachel crossed her arms storming to her seat next to Finn. "My parents know, I'm not kicked out and I'm taking it one day at a time."

"W..what about the dad?" Finn asked softly, it was still a sore subject thanks to Puck and Quinn, Finn didn't have a dad so it didn't matter who's baby it was it needed a dad.

"Not sure he'd believe me right now if I told him it was his." Santana admitted quietly.

"Oh...b...but you're gonna tell him?" Finn glanced over his shoulder at her.

"Yes." Santana said softly. It was like they were waiting for her to cry, but she was cried out, she'd cried when she found out, she'd cried when she'd told her parents and again when they promised her they weren't throwing her out. "Not a monkey in a zoo stop staring at me." Santana glared at everyone. she wasn't going to cry in front of the Glee club. "Matt says he'll beat all y'alls asses if you pick on me." Santana huffed before turning her attention to Brittany, who was still ignoring her.

"I got you." Mike hi-fived with Matt over Brittany and Santana's heads.

"I should go steal another one of these." Puck said handing a book to Quinn, eyebrow arched the blonde shook her head showing Santana the book 'How to lose your baby weight' before smacking Puck with the book, Santana smirked at least Puck was trying even if he was an idiot.

"So Brittany's next." Rachel snarked "Because we know they don't do anything by themselves."

"You did not just go there." Santana snarled jumping to her feet, the whole group practically threw themselves between the diva, the Latina and Quinn. Brittany wrapped around the front of Quinn holding her back while Matt was wrapped around Santana, Mike held onto Santana and Quinn by an arm, he wasn't sure which girl he was supposed to hold onto, he just knew they were both going after Rachel.

Standing in front of Santana with a hand on Brittany's back to hold her and Quinn in place Mercedes put her other hand on Santana's shoulder reminding the pregnant duo, "This is not good for my babies."

Glaring over Mercedes shoulder the Latina pointed at Rachel growling "I know people, they will gladly whup your Hobbit ass, don't you talk about Brittany like that."

"Alright." Mr. Schuster clapped his hands together getting their attention, "Let's take our seats please." as always his timing sucked, after the drama instead of stopping it. Rolling her eyes Santana sat down but not before glaring at Rachel one last time. "Regional's are coming up, we need to increase our practices..." Santana wasn't sure what he was saying after that because her attention was back on Brittany. She knew Rachel said something to Finn because she watched the little diva lean over and whisper in his ear, whatever she'd said Finn didn't like because he stiffened up.


He was crying when his Mom came home, sobbing like he had when he told her Quinn was pregnant and then again when he'd found out the baby wasn't his. "Finn?"

"Mom I really did mess up this time." his face buried in his hands he dropped his head to her lap, Carole wrapped around him. "I slept with Santana."

"Oh Finn." Carole closed her eyes in disappointment, after everything they had just gone through.

"It was one time, my first time." he sobbed.

"After everything that just happened?" she wanted to yell, scream that he was being so irresponsible but she couldn't not when he was crying in her lap.

"She won't even tell me if it's mine."

"Wait, what?" Carole tried to push him to sit up. "She won't tell you, did she say someone else is the father?"

Finn wiped his eyes slowly sitting up "No, she's not telling, she said it was complicated, but Mom it has to be mine."

"Did you use protection?" awkward question for a mother to ask her son.

"We did." he sniffled "But you told me that doesn't always work."

"She hasn't said you're the father?" Carole asked.

"No...but..." Finn wiped his face with his sleeve again. "Rachel says it's Puck's because Santana hasn't slept with anyone else...b...but she slept with me."

"We will wait, if she says you are they have tests and if you are you will take care of that baby and help her in anyway you can." Carole stood asking sternly asking "Do you understand me?"

"Yes Mom."


School the next day went exactly how she knew it would, with Quinn and Brittany by her sides she still walked down the hall as if she were HBIC, Cheerio Captain because despite the rumors and yes the rumors we're flying of how she'd gotten pregnant (a teacher, a married man, anyone on the football team) Santana was still feared, only a few people had the guts to say anything to her face.

But she'd already sucker punched two Cheerios and kicked one football player in the crotch before second period. They left her alone but the rumors got worse, she refused to cry, she knew the truth and soon so would everyone else. "I'll text you later to go over Spanish, I don't think a group study with me in it would be a good one." Quinn said tucking her books into her locker.

Santana nodded reaching for Brittany "I'll drop you off, Mike said he would bring you to my house to study tonight."

"Okay." Brittany nodded walking away, she was still upset over Santana not telling her who the baby's dad was.

"Sweetie..."

"Just let her go San," Quinn lightly grabbed Santana's arm "she'll be fine once you tell her."

"She'll blame herself." Santana shook her head.


"Brittany." Finn lightly grabbed Brittany's bicep tugging her into the library.

"Oh hi Finn." looking around Brittany asked "Is this my next class?"

"No, it's the library." Finn shook his head walking her to a empty study area. "Did...did Santana tell you who the baby's dad is?"

"No." Brittany pouted "But Quinn knows."

"Oh."

"I mean I know it's not Puck because she told him he has a hand," Brittany shrugged "and she's never slept with Matt." Brittany explained.

"Is there anyone else you can think of that she's slept with?" He couldn't get Rachel's comment out of his head 'We all know it's Noah's it's not like she sleeps with anyone else, she's not Brittany.'

Brittany tapped her chip trying to think "Well there's me...don't tell her I said that, it's a secret." Brittany pleaded.

"I won't." Finn promised.

Brittany smiled "You and..." Brittany looked confused "I can't think of anyone else."

"So it's mine." Finn realized.

"Oh." eyes wide Brittany chewed her lower lip terrified. "We can't tell her...she can't find out...she'll be mad."

"If it's mine I'm supposed to know." Finn gruffed.

"Please don't be mad, she's going to tell us, she's just scared." Brittany grabbed Finn's hand stopping him from leaving "What if you don't believe her? Are you going to tell her you don't believe her? Rachel's going to be mean. They're already being mean to her." Brittany rambled.

"I don't know what I'm going to do Britt." Finn jerked his arm away from her, "I'm sorry," he apologized seeing her step back "I didn't mean to scare you." he sighed "It's just a lot to take in. I mean I told my mom Quinn was pregnant then we found out it wasn't mine..." Finn crumpled into the nearest chair in the deserted corner.

"Don't they have tests that prove it? I heard Santana's dad tell her they have a non abrasive test to tell who the dad is." Finn was confused but so was Brittany so it was okay, they were both pretty sure she hadn't gotten the word correct.

"Okay, I won't tell, I'll let her tell me." Finn agreed.

"I think we're late." Brittany said hearing the bell.

"Brittany!" Brittany and Finn jumped, "Sweetie you were supposed to meet me by our lockers, you scared me." Santana held her hand out to the blonde.

Dropping her head Brittany apologized explaining "I'm sorry, I got lost again." taking Santana's hand Brittany followed her.

"Finnocence? Coming?" Santana asked seeing he wasn't behind them.

"Oh, yea." he nodded, he forgot he had the next class with Santana.

"Did you sleep? You look like crap." Santana commented as he joined them.

Finn scowled down at her, Brittany shook her head at him with pleading eyes, Finn rolled his eyes lying "No, I was worried about Friday's Spanish test."

"You'll be fine, we'll go over your notes and homework, you'll have to come to my place tonight with Britt and Mike and Matt." she left Puck out of it "Say around 2ish."

"Okay, I'll tell my mom." he nodded.


"I most certainly am not taking you over there." Carole huffed.

"Mom she's my Spanish tutor, I need her help."

"It's that girl?" Carole asked, Finn nodded, Santana had been over almost every week since the second month of school to help him with his Spanish homework.

"Matt and Mike and Brittany are going to be there too." Finn promised.

"I'm not happy with this." Carole warned getting her purse. "Not happy at all, it's like she's toying with you."

Finn followed with his head hung low "I'm sorry."

Carole sighed "I know honey, I'm just frustrated."


She wasn't going to tell him before Regional's, she couldn't chance him losing it, they had to place or Glee was over that was the deal. And Glee was all she had left, so after Regional's she would tell him and then it was up to him, it wasn't like she wanted or expected him to leave Man-hands.

Santana'd never held a group study and she was sure they didn't know about one another, she tried to keep everything separate. She was putting out snacks, it was one of her tricks, she already had a stack of movies and various drinks and even a few articles of clothing. She used different ways with different people.

"Santana, I have a group of your friends at the door saying you invited them over?" Maribel eyed her daughter.

"I tutor them in Spanish, since you won't let me leave they have to come here." Santana explained knowing her mom wouldn't put their grades in jeopardy just because Santana was grounded.

"No funny business." Maribel warned.

"Study session." Santana promised.

Santana stayed in the dining room waiting for her friends to come in, she wasn't sure Brittany was going to show but her lanky blonde was following Maribel back in the room. Puck grinned watching Maribel leave the room, seeing Santana frowning Finn elbowed the other boy, maybe a little harder then normal, Puck grunted holding his ribs he moved away from Finn. Mike and Matt waved from the back of the pack. "So since I'm grounded," Santana wasn't going to keep it a secret "I can't leave to tutor but you can come here and since I am no longer on Cheerios anytime after school or Glee is fine."

"So they made you quit Cheerios but not Glee?" Puck snorted.

"Not your baby, not your business." Santana pointed at him glaring.

"What's with all the stuff?" Puck dropped into the seat nearest the drinks getting his hand smacked by Santana when he tried to grab one, he was pushing her buttons, she knew it was on purpose.

"Conversational Spanish, you should be able to ask for anything you need, but since Schue sucks at it so do you." Puck smirked. "Cat calls and bad words do not count as conversation Puck." Santana shook her head when he opened his mouth, "No." he frowned.

Finn nervously held up his hand asking "So are we going to be speaking Spanish the whole time?"

"For the most part." Santana admitted "I'll ask questions and you'll answer in Spanish."

"Okay." he nodded "Um..."

Santana fought back a smirk "Matt can you show Finn the bathroom." he was always nervous when she'd tutored him, she'd thought it was just her but apparently it was studying in general, nodding Matt gestured for Finn to follow him.

"So what's with the stuff?" Puck repeated pointing at the dvds and clothes with yellow sticky notes attached.

"Everyone learns differently, some visual, some hands on, some from a book and some a bit from everything." Santana explained. "You just want to know enough to pass Schue's class, Finn likes sports, everyone has something."

"Santana." Santana faced her dad waiting "Why is Matthew in the hallway, is he the...Noah, Michael? Brittany?" Mr. Lopez interrupted himself. Puck smirked and nodded.

"Hello Mr. Lopez." Mike smiled looking up from his homework.

"Hola señor López, es bueno verte de nuevo." Brittany beamed.

"Hello Michael, Brittany." he nodded giving her a smile. "Santana?"

"I tutor them in Spanish, Matt is waiting for Finn, once they're back we're going to start."

"How old is this Finn?"

"Our age." Brittany smiled sitting at the table.

"Matthew's waiting outside the bathroom for a teenager?" Mr. Lopez asked confused.

"No he had to use the bathroom too." Finn explained. "Finn Hudson sir." Wiping his hands on his pants Finn gave a sheepish grin holding his hand out to Mr. Lopez, he had dried his hands but wanted to make sure they were completely dry.

"This is my dad Doctor Luis Lopez, Dad this is the Titan's quarterback and member of the Glee club Finn Hudson."

"Nice to meet you meet you Finn." Mr. Lopez shook Finn's hand, four football players and Brittany, it made sense they had to keep they're grades up. "Come see me when you are through Santana."

Santana nodded waiting for him to leave. "Okay everybody grab a seat." waiting until everyone took a seat Santana started to walk around the table as they pulled out their notebooks and pencils. Mike, Matt and Puck all had the number 2's, Finn had little footballs on his and Brittany had a red colored pencil. "Since we're a small group things are going to work slightly different than one on one. We're here to make sure if you continue taking Spanish in college you don't embarrass yourself."

"I get why I'm here and Finn and Brittany..." Brittany pouted, Santana smacked the back of Puck's head "Look we all know Mike has never had anything below an A in his life..."

"You're an idiot." Santana shook her head at Puck, Mike glared at Puck giving Brittany's shoulder a rub "Mike, Brittany and Matt can speak Spanish almost as well as I can," Brittany chewed her lip looking awkwardly at the table. "This is Mike's third language and Brittany's 4th..." Puck blinked, Finn glanced at Brittany, he'd heard her speak Spanish with Santana "getting the verbs and nouns and pronouns is tough when you have more than one language to remember. What's your excuse?"

Dick." Matt muttered. Mr. Lopez who had been hiding just around the corner, covered his mouth as he walked away trying not to laugh. Puck barely kept his eligibility when it came to football, Matt and Mike were both trying for scholarships so they needed perfect grades.

"So are we ready?" Santana asked unconsciously placing her hand on her non existent belly, they all nodded. "Okay, say it correct and you get it." Santana looked right at Puck holding up a soft drink.

Puck smirked saying "Soda." with a bad accent.

"Nope." Santana shook her head, turning to Finn she tapped the can promising "You know this one." food and sports were the best ways to teach Finn.

His brows drawn she could see he was fighting to remember, straightening up he grinned "Refresco."

"Yes."

"Bull." Puck scoffed.

"One of the many ways to say soft drink or soda in Spanish is refresco." Santana rolled her eyes, handing Finn the soda she grabbed a large bag of chips with a sticky note on it. "So we will say potato chips or crisps which translates to patatas fritas." she tapped the sticky note.

Finn held up his hand towards the chip bag "Patatas fritas."

Puck snorted "He said tatas."

Handing Finn the chips Santana spun on her heel, pointing to the front door she glared at Puck "Out, don't come back unless you can behave."

"It was a joke, you used to have a sense of humor."

"When it was just you studying it didn't matter how much time you wasted being a jackass."

"Whatever." Puck snorted.

"Go away, find another tutor." Santana shook her head "I'm not wasting their time because you're being an ass." When he folded his arms and didn't move Matt and Mike stood up glaring Puck snorted un-amused, he hadn't been that bad, Finn standing up surprised Puck and made him nervous, they still weren't on the best of terms.

Finn growled low saying "You're not supposed to upset her, it's not good for the baby, you'd know that if you read a book."

Rolling his eyes Puck grabbed his books "Later losers."

Santana shook her head hearing the door slam. "Thank you guys." the boys sat down. "So copy down the sticky note." she reminded Finn when he sat down. Opening the chips he put the sticky note on the top of the page opposite page before starting to copy it. "¿Dónde está tu baño?"

Without looking up Finn answered "A mitad del pasillo a la izquierda."

"¿Cuál es tu película favorita?" Santana asked.

Brittany chirped "Mi película favorita es La bella y la bestia."

Mike grinned "Mi película favorita es Footloose."

Matt shook his head "Mi película favorita es Rudy."

"Los peces son amigos, no comida. Buscando a Nemo." Finn said before taking a drink and returning to his notes. Santana smirked she hadn't expected him to answer, movies were more Brittany's thing his was food and sports.

Maribel peaked into the dining room asking "¿Qué quieres para cenar?"

Without looking up Finn answered. "Una pizza de pepperoni, ¿podemos conseguir pan de ajo?" Brittany giggled causing Finn to look up embarrassed "I messed it up didn't I?"

"No, it was perfect." Maribel smiled asking "Everyone agree?" When the rest of them agreed Maribel nodded "I'll get two of both."

"Thank you Mama." Santana smiled, taking Matt and Mike's homework she sat next to Brittany who was still avoiding eye contact, she mainly checked over their homework and notes explaining what, if anything, they needed to fix. Both boys pulled out homework for other classes while she checked their work. Brittany and Finn were next, Mr. Schuester said they could use notes on their exams so Santana made sure their notes were perfect. "Okay B, copy these down." Santana put a small stack of movies next to Brittany each with a sticky note. Brittany slid her homework to Santana she was grateful it wasn't in crayon, Santana was slowly getting Brittany to use colored pencils and pens to do her homework instead of crayons which made it easier to read.

When the pizza arrived Santana and the group cleared the table of the snacks and took a break from the homework they were doing, which ended up being more than Spanish. Mike was helping Finn with his math, Matt tried explaining science to Brittany while Santana checked over all their homework and notes. Maribel and Luis ate with the group listening to Matt still trying to explain the super continent to Brittany.

"So California's not going to fall off?" Brittany asked confused.

"Nope." Matt shook his head.

"Wait, is it really moving to Alaska?" Finn asked the two adults in the room.

"Yes." Luis showed with two pieces of garlic bread how it was slowly moving "It's not really a sprint more like a marathon, it won't happen in our lifetime but it will one day."

"Oh." Brittany and Finn looked at one another.


"We should group study more often, it's not as boring and I'll get Brittany home." Mike promised seeing Santana's attention divided.

"Thanks." Santana patted his chest, giving Matt a hug she turned to Brittany who was tucking the movies into her backpack, she changed the language and subtitles to Spanish when she watched them. "Okay next week's assignment, find a movie that has Spanish subtitles or a spoken language Spanish option, we'll have a movie night. We'll put the names in a hat and the name we draw, we'll watch the movie that person brought."

Brittany gave her a hug but it wasn't the same, Brittany was still mad at her, she'd have to tell Brittany and accept the aftermath. "You want me to pick you up in the morning?" Matt asked shouldering his back pack.

"No I'm going to get Brittany and Tubbers in the morning." Santana shook her head. "I think I have to tell her in the morning."

Finn was still packing his backpack up when she rejoined him in the dining room. "Thanks for all the help, I just, I don't understand Mr. Schue." Finn admitted.

"Neither do I." Santana chuckled.

"Oh um...so I got this when I thought..." Finn held out a Pregnancy for Dummies book. "I mean I don't need it and I thought you wouldn't want like a girlie book about pregnancy." Santana smiled at his rambling but then frowned sighing.

"Sit down Frankenteen we need to talk." she gestured to the chair he'd been sitting in.

"I did something wrong didn't I? I didn't mean too, it's just..." putting the book on the table he stopped talking when Santana took his hand.

"I'm sure you'll be a good dad, maybe not in the naming department, but otherwise." she'd heard about Drizzle, Brittany and Quinn had told her, Finn gave an embarrassed shrug and half smirk.

"I know you'll be a great mom, you're very protective." Finn said wisely leaving off 'of Brittany'. "Have you told the dad yet?"

"Working on it." Santana shook her head. "It's complicated and I'm sure he's not going to believe me, between my reputation and his present girlfriend, I don't think it's going to end well."

"B..but you have to tell him." Finn said excitedly.

"Relax, I'm going to." Santana held her hand up before asking "Why's it so important to you?"

"Because I want to know if it's mine." he whispered.

"Oh." Santana blinked dropping her hand to her lap she chewed her lower lip "Do you want it to be?"

"Santana." Finn gruffed frustrated.

"I'm just saying, Hobbit's going to be pissed, your Mom's going to hate me...it would just be easier for you if it wasn't." Santana babbled. "I can always lie and say I don't know, with my rep it'll be easy to believe."

"No." Finn grabbed her hands "Let's get that test Brittany was telling me about...I mean..." Finn cringed waiting for the smack when Santana pulled away gasping. She didn't hit him.

"Son of bitch." eyes narrowing she accused "That's why you were in the library."

"I just wanted to know if it was possible," Finn admitted "Rachel said you were lying and it was Puck's because you don't sleep with anyone else, but you slept with me and Brittany said you haven't been sleeping with Puck..." she covered his mouth to stop his rambling.

"Shut up." Santana hissed. "I haven't sleep with Puck since he knocked up Quinn, so yes it is yours, are you happy?" Santana demanded, she could feel the smile forming under her hand. "You don't love me anymore than I love you." Santana reminded.

"Can we do that test? That non abrasive one?" He asked when she removed her hand from his mouth.

"Non invasive, it means they can do it while I'm pregnant and it won't hurt the baby." Santana corrected realizing he'd gotten his information from Brittany. "Look I don't want to chain you to this kid, you can back out and nobody will know."

"I...I can't do that," Finn shook his head "we take this test and I'm in it's life."

"Rachel isn't going to like this." Santana reminded.

"But we'll have proof, that test will say the baby's mine." Finn pointed at her belly.

"Last chance Finnocence, once I tell my parents you can't escape." Santana warned her.

"My mom'll be here in a few minutes, I already told her the baby might be mine. We can tell your parents together and you can tell my mom about the test thing so we won't have to wait." Finn said determined to be the dad he knew he could be, the one he wanted and didn't get.

"There may be yelling." Santana warned.

"I can cry." Finn offered knowing Santana wouldn't.

"You are taking this way better than I thought you would." Santana eyed him.

"Quinn broke my heart, she lied to me and cheated on me with my best friend, then she lied to me about the baby." Finn sighed.

"Which is why I thought you'd take this a whole lot worse than you are." Santana wasn't trusting him not to flip out but she was also concerned about her best friend. "So Brittany knows?"

"Yesterday sucked." Finn admitted not knowing what else to say. "And we kinda figured it out together." Finn admitted. "She told me you were scared."

Santana scoffed "Am not." but Santana jumped at the knock on the door."Shut up." Santana scowled when he smirked. "Go get your mom, I'll get my parents, just so you know they'll probably lecture again."

Santana had been correct, they sat side by side on the couch getting lectured by her parents and his mom about being irresponsible and how could they be so careless after what happened with Quinn. "Okay whoa!" Santana shouted standing up "I'm on the pill, not anymore, but I was, he wore a condom, we were safe." she pointed out "And it's his,"Santana looked right at Carole when she spoke "I know what he went through with Quinn, I love her she's my best friend but it was messed up."

Finn stood up resting his hand on Santana's lower back."And she was dating Puck at the time not that anyone cares to remember, I wasn't the only one cheated on." Santana glanced up at Finn, aside from Brittany nobody really knew she had been actually dating Puck, she and Matt were on one of their breaks. "But we didn't do anything wrong, we didn't cheat on anybody, we used protection it just didn't work." Finn frowned "I know the test will say I'm the dad, I'll be with Santana every step of the way, I'll drop out and get a job to help pay for st..."

"You'll stay in school." Luis shook his head "If you want a part time job I'm sure we'll be able to find something, nothing that interferes with your grades."

"I just don't want to be a loser dad that doesn't help with his kid." Finn argued. "I mean I get we're not dating, Rachel's gonna flip," Santana nodded, "but I need to do something."

"First we can go to my office, I know a doctor who can run the test everyone's talking about." Luis gestured to the front door. "It'll take a week for the results." Carole nodded. "We can meet back here ."

"I have one question." Carole held up her finger "What is the plan for the baby?"

"We have told Santana if she wishes to keep the baby we will help her in any way we can, healthcare, daycare and an extra hand but she will be raising it because she is the mother." Maribel said.

"I'm keeping the baby and I call it Bean so can we stop calling the baby an it." Santana wrapped her arms around her center.

"Bean?" Carole inquired.

"At the doctor's appointment she said the baby was the size of a lima bean." Santana explained, Finn looked at his hand trying to figure how small, Santana showed him she couldn't help but laugh at the stunned look on his face.


Santana sat on the bed in the doctor's office, her feet dangling she looked at Finn after looking around the office "No being weird tomorrow."

"W..what?"

"You heard me Finnocence, no weird, tomorrow is just another normal day at school." Santana warned.

"Bu.."

"We'll wait for the test before we say you're the baby's dad, proof in hand, then they can't say shit, I mean they're still going to to..." Santana explained. "This is gonna fuck shit up with Berry." Santana felt kinda bad.

"We weren't together when this happened." Finn frowned.

"But you haven't told her you slept with me." Santana reminded.

"She lied to me about sleeping with Jesse to hurt me and I lied to not hurt her." Finn scuffed the toe of his shoe against the floor.

"Just no weird." Santana said as she heard a knock.


Santana went straight to the bed after texting Quinn and Brittany

S to B 3 and Q: Be ready early, we need to talk

Q to S and B: Oh shit, or is that good?

B to S 3 and Q: Okay

S to B 3 and Q: He knows and he's not the only one

Q to S and B: What? I didn't tell him.

S to B 3 and Q: Finn and Brittany figured it out on their own.

B to S 3 and Q: We didn't mean to

S to B 3 and Q: I know Sweetie, we'll talk in the morning, I'll get you then Q


Head hung low Brittany chewed her lower lip as she slipped into the passenger seat of Santana's car, "I didn't mean to."

Reaching over the center consol Santana took Brittany's hand "I know Sweetie." giving Brittany's hand a squeeze Santana explained "I'm sorry I didn't tell you that Finn was the baby's dad I thought you'd get upset."

"Why?"

Santana hesitated, if it hadn't crossed Brittany's mind she wasn't going to tell her "I mean it's Finn." Santana played off.

"I mean, he's bad a picking names but I think he'd be a good dad." Brittany said honestly.

"I think so too." Santana agreed. She was going to talk about the other stuff when they picked up Quinn. Her phone pinging Santana picked it up checking the message rolling her eyes when she read.

Q to S: Can we give Mercedes a lift? Her car's in the shop.

S to Q: Fine

Q to S: Thank you, stop rolling your eyes.

Santana gave an amused snort at the last message, they'd always been pretty good at reading one another. "We're picking up Mercedes with Q."

"Yay." Brittany liked Mercedes.

When Quinn and Mercedes climbed in the back seat Brittany unhooked her seat belt spinning in her seat chirping "Hi!"

Mercedes chuckled "Hi Brittany."

"Hi B." Quinn smiled at the blonde before asking Santana "Is everything okay?"

"Yea." Santana answered looking in the rear view mirror at Quinn.

"Sorry to intrude on your morning, my dad wants my brakes checked." Mercedes apologized "If you hit the Lima Bean I'll get you ladies coffee." Brittany wrinkled her nose causing Mercedes to add "or a hot chocolate."

"We were going there anyway." Santana shrugged before touching Brittany's shoulder. "Buckle in Sweetie."

"Okay." Settling back in the seat Brittany buckled back up.

Santana decided that she didn't care if Mercedes was in the car she'd tell the girls anyway "So we did a paternity test last night and we should know within the week, I mean we know, but it'll prove to everyone else he's the dad."

"He'll be a good dad." Mercedes nodded.

"Excuse me?" Santana glared in the mirror at the chunky black girl.

"Well since it's not Puck there's only one other guy." Mercedes shrugged unafraid of the glare. "I mean sure he's a dork and we need to work on his dancing but he's a good guy, just don't let him name it." Mercedes added.

"Agreed." Quinn nodded.

"So all of Glee except for Rachel knows it's Finn's." Santana rolled her eyes "Of course they do, because everyone but Rachel and Schue know I slept with Finn." Mercedes nodded. "I want a big coffee...fine normal sized coffee." Santana mumbled when Quinn cleared her throat. "I hate you all, except Brittany." Santana added pulling out of the driveway. Quinn and Mercedes laughed. "And we're not telling until we have the paper to prove it."


Coffee in hand Santana walked with Brittany, Quinn and Mercedes from the parking lot, no one was avoiding them from fear but they were avoiding them all the same. Bodies slamming against lockers was nothing new, but the sight before them was, Finn had someone held off the floor and against the lockers "Damn it." Santana mumbled. "I told him not to be weird." handing her coffee to Brittany she stormed over to Finn, Rachel was already tugging on his arm.

"She's not worth it, you know her reputation, she's fine with it."

"He doesn't need to call her that or the baby." Finn growled, his eyes never leaving the boy he had held off the ground "Do you hear me?" The smaller teen whimpered holding onto Finn's arm as the towering teen bounced him into the locker again "You and your friends will leave her alone."

"Finnocence! Drop the nerd."

Finn cringed, Santana was definitely mad, lowering the boy Finn glared at him watching him scamper away. Rachel rolled her eyes huffing, folding her arms she tapped her foot. Finn was paying attention to Santana and not her. "Sorry." Finn mumbled.

"Beating up on nerds is Puck's thing not yours," Santana lectured "you just date them." Santana said dryly glancing at Rachel.

"He said..."

"I don't care what he said." Santana shook her head

"I do." Finn muttered crossing his arms.

Snagging Finn by the front of the shirt Santana tugged him to the nearest empty classroom slamming the door shut behind them "Can you be anymore obvious?" Santana demanded.

"He doesn't need to be lying about you or our baby." Finn scowled.

"You keep this up and Rachel's going to find out." Santana hissed.

"I'm going to tell her when we get the results." Finn explained.

"Because she's not going to believe you otherwise." Santana sighed "Look just leave the beating up of people to Puck, don't ruin your reputation."

"But they're lying."

"Okay then beat them up next week when we have proof." Santana compromised.

"Really?"

"Really." Santana promised "I won't stop you from telling people it's your baby and you can beat the hell out of anyone you want, I'm sure Matt and Mike will help." seeing the door crack Santana said "If you're late I stop tutoring you."

"B...but..." Finn turned watching Santana pass by Rachel.

"She tutors you?" Rachel scoffed.

"Spanish, I don't understand Mr. Schue." Finn explained, hearing the bell he headed out the empty classroom.

"So you have her tutor you? How do you know she's not telling you the wrong things? You know how she is." Rachel scoffed.

"Because I'm passing the class." Finn sighed. "If I don't pass I'm off the football team."

"Whoa." nearly dropping her books Santana pulled back to strike whoever had grabbed her arm and pulled her into an empty classroom, glaring at Puck she slapped at his hand on her bicep. "What the hell Fuckerman!"

"Let her go!" Finn demanded.

"This isn't your business Hudson." Puck winced letting go of Santana because she kept smacking his hand "Lay off Lopez." Puck turned just in time to be smacked in the face by the Latina.

"Don't fucking touch me, ever!" Santana growled. Finn stepped between Santana and Puck, Santana was surprised as was Puck when Finn growled menacingly at the slightly shorter but more muscular teen.

"I wanna know if it's true!" Puck demanded "Rachel says it's mine."

Santana peaked around Finn, "I didn't fucking lie, the baby's not yours."

"Bull shit!" Puck argued trying to look around Finn.

"Do the math you mohawked moron, this isn't your baby!" Santana yelled back at him. "I haven't slept with you in months not since you hooked up with Quinn you dick!" Santana tried to move around Finn but his long arms kept her behind him.

The light flicking on the teacher sighed "Puckerman, Hudson go fight somewhere else."

"This isn't over." Puck pointed at Santana.

Rolling her eyes Santana leaned her head against Finn's back for a moment before exhaling and straightening up "This week is going to drag on, I can see it."

Finn walked out of the class with Santana close behind, Puck was leaned against the lockers on the other side of the hall, Santana couldn't help but smirk as Quinn grabbed the sleeve of Puck's letterman jacket pulling him down the hall with her chirping. "How about you pay attention to the girl that's actually pregnant with your baby?"

"But Rach..." Puck pointed over his shoulder.

"Rachel, much like you, has lied and cheated to get what she wants." Quinn reminded when she finally stopped "Santana's a bitch, but a truthful bitch, Santana would be way further along if it was your baby."

"So it's not mine?"

"No you moron, she's been telling you that since the beginning." Quinn rolled her eyes.

"Oh. Wait so Rachel was playing me, was she trying to get my ass beat?" Puck asked confused. "Cause Finn looked like he was going to beat my ass."

"I have no idea what she's trying to do, but you know as well as I do who's the dad," Quinn said honestly "just leave Santana alone, stress isn't good for the baby, text her an apology."

Head hung low Puck mumbled "Sorry."

"Dumbass." Quinn shook her head kissing his cheek.

Pulling out his phone Puck quickly typed an apology Puck to Santana: Sorry I got wrong information from Berry, I'll back off, she kept saying it was mine

Santana to Puck: Dick, do the math

Puck to Finn: Rachel gave me wrong information, I'll step off

Finn to Puck: Asshole

Tucking his phone in his pocket Puck trudged down the hallway, he knew it was all he was going to get from the duo.
