-Chapter 34-
-Shelby pov-
It has been a very tense morning. Three tests were found. There positive pregnancy tests. We know one was Quinn's but the other two are a mystery.
Well not exactly a mystery. Judy laid claim to hers. It has just been getting the other one to speak up. We all have just waited for Holly or Fran to speak up.
I guess things will have to be done the hard way.
"Alright I guess I am going to have the test analyzed" I start to grab it and my sister is quick to the grab "Jamie I would advise you to not be stupid"
"She is not being stupid" Maribel crises her arm as she looks at Jamie "I knew I smelled wet bat"
"Hey I do not call your daughter that!" We all look at Jamie wide eyed "That was not a hint! I mean it was just it was not! I mean obviously the girl is a daughter to someone! WAIT I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY THAT! Oh she would kill me if I said before she knew"
"Jamie what is going on?" Jamie looks away "Jamie Maribel and I have smelled wet bat the past few weeks"
"She does not want anyone to know" Tears are falling down her face "I-I can not get arrested for this! It is not my fault! We just locked eyes and her now ex-boyfriend is cool with it! He already has a new girlfriend!"
"Tina" Jamie pales and looks at Rachel in horror "Oh it is not just a guess"
She points and we all look out the window. Sure enough Tina is in front of a car. She seems to be trying to build confidence. I smile at the happy smile that spreads across her face.
Tina finally picks up the boom box, takes a deep breath, and pushes play.
-Tina singing-
Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
"Good choice sis" I hand her the test "Now go to your girl"
"Thank you" Jamie gives me a big hug before running out "TIIIINNNNAAA! I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU! WAIT! LET ME GET AMELIA FIRST!"
We all laugh as she grabs the baby and runs back out. I look over at the trio and frown though. I guess we all did not start laughing after all. Those three are still trying.
"I am going to see if something is on the television" Fran pushes her way out of there kitchen "I think one of my shows is on"
"I will go with her" Maribel sighs and follows after Fran "Better she is not alone"
"She has always wanted to be a mom" I look at Judy who is frowning "I bet she is destroyed that Quinn and I are pregnant"
"She is" Holly runs a hand through her hair with a sigh "We can not do a damn thing! Nothing changes anything! We even got checked and she can have them!"
"But is Maribel sterile?" I see Santana tense and look her way fully "Santana?"
"She is not sterile but she is also afraid" Santana looks down at herself "She is afraid of having another kid that has the wrong parts"
"So she is doing something to prevent it?" Santana nods "All because of her?"
"How she thinks she looks and will spread" Santana sighs and leans into Quinn "I am sorry"
"I see" Holly stands up and walks to the other room "I will be back"
We all share a look and leave silently. This is not a conversation we want to overhear.
-Holly pov-
I walk into the room and snap the television away. Both of my mates look at me confused. I know Maribel heard everything so how is she confused? Did she become a better actress?
"Fran do you care how our baby would look?" Fran looks at me shocked "Just answer please"
"Of course I would" Maribel looks away from us "Mari?"
"I have dick for Pete's sake" Maribel wipes some tears away "I do not want my baby to have to be subjected like Santana could have been!"
"But she was not really" Fran cups Maribels face and I put a hand on her back "You are amazing Mari! Santana is amazing and our child would be amazing too! You just have to believe us!"
Maribel falls into Fran and I make another snap for music to start.
-Holly singing-
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
"Old bat" I glare at Fran who stands up "Hit me with Just the way you are by Bruno!"
I roll my eyes and make the snap. I smile at Maribel chuckling.
-Fran singing-
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
"Thank you both" We come together in a group hug "Since everyone is out of the house...who's up for some rounds?"
Fran is immediately off and we laugh. I hope the others can distracted for a few hours.
