Disclaimer: I don't own Glee. But as always, if Mark Salling is for sale I get first dibbs. LOL

AN: I checked Cory Monteith's twitter and he had the funniest tweet.

mark_salling bam! sniped!

And then this photo of Mark Salling twittering while on the plane, where I think Cory went incognito over Mark's seat and sneakily took the picture. I think I fell a little in love with Cory Monteith just then; he has a wicked sense of humour.

Make Me Forget

Chapter 17 – Secrets of the McKinley High Locker Room

The next morning Puck made sure Rachel was getting a ride with Kurt and he drove to school early wanting to talk to Finn. He had heard along the Glee grapevine that Quinn and Finn were back together and he was kind of hoping that Finn was still in a forgiving mood. Before he left that morning Rachel had sat him down and made him promise that he wouldn't fight with Finn and Puck had rolled his eyes but made the promise just like she requested. He couldn't say no to her and those expressive brown eyes and the adorable pout.

He found Finn sitting on the bleachers and took a deep breath before jogging up the stair towards him. Finn didn't acknowledge his arrival and Puck threw himself onto the seat beside him. Neither said anything for a long while.

"Dude, if it will make you feel any better you can hit me. God knows I deserve it," Puck said tensing himself in anticipation and Finn just laughed. A real laugh. The old Finn laugh.

Puck figured this was the only chance he was going to get to apologize and try and win his best friend back. He was about to go so chick flick he was embarrassed for himself but he did it anyway.

"I can't tell you how sorry I am. What happened with Quinn was a stupid drunk mistake, and then with Sarah, I should have told you. I should have manned up and been honest with you but I was too cowardly," Puck rambled apologetically letting everything just pour out and when he opened his mouth to say more Finn finally turned to him.

"Puck, shut up," Finn said and Puck immediately shut his mouth as requested. Finn looked down at his hands as he spoke again, "I miss my best friend."

"He missed you too," Puck replied, feeling so awkward but it needed to be said. Finn looked back over at him and the two ex-best friends but hopefully best friends once more shared an awkward hug where there was a lot of patting each other on the back.

"If it isn't the Kings of Homo Explosion," a voice interrupted their male bonding moment and Puck and Finn pulled away from each other to see Anton Crawley and the whole hockey team on the field in front of the bleachers. Puck stood and stalked down the steps before jumping onto the field with Finn right behind him.

"You want something Crawley?" Puck asked threateningly his hands clenching into fists. Rachel made him promise not to fight Finn, so Crawley and the other hockey dumbasses were fair game. Got to love loopholes.

"I just wanted to know if the baby that Rachel Berry's carrying is yours or Finn's? Since you boys love to knock up each other's girlfriends," Crawley quipped giving an evil grin and his hockey drones laughed.

Finn and Puck glanced at each other for a split second before a decision was made. Puck lunged for Crawley socking him across the jaw while Finn threw himself at the hockey jock closest to them. A scuffle ensued as punch after punch was thrown. Puck was getting pulled off Crawley and spun to punch whoever had him in the nose. Blood spurted everywhere as the boy went down and Puck turned back to Crawley to receive a punch to the face himself causing him to stumble backwards. Finn grabbed the guy who had punch Puck and threw him to the ground kicking his ribs for good measure. In the din, Finn and Puck met each other's eyes again and grinned. All was forgiven. Puck threw himself into another hockey jock as Finn did the same.

From across the field Matt, Mike and Kurt came running. They had been spying on the two former best friends at the command of Rachel and Quinn making sure that if a fight broke out between them they would be there to separate them. They hadn't imagined a fight breaking out between Finn and Puck against the whole hockey team. The two friends were outnumbered but they didn't care. Kurt performed a running kick slamming his opponent right in the baby maker before another hockey jock punched him in the face.

"My face! My beautiful face!" Kurt shrieked clutching at his face, falling to his knees dramatically.

Mike pulled the hockey jock away from Kurt and punched him in the stomach, the guy fell to his knees near Kurt, winded and clutching at his stomach. Kurt tried to think of the worst way to punish the guy for hurting his face and it came to him, like a big flashing neon rainbow sign. Kurt grabbed the hockey jock by the back of his neck and dove right in, kissing him, tongue and all. They hockey jock, Adam Underwood, was stunned by the sudden intrusion frozen in position, his mouth opening involuntarily so that Kurt had further access. Everyone stopped fighting to stare at the unlikely sight. Kurt released Adam and got to his feet before wiping his hand across his mouth and turning to the rest of the team with his hands on his hips.

"I am not above making out with all of you if you don't get out of here right now!" Kurt threatened them and the hockey team all looked at the stunned Adam, then at Kurt before they turned and bolted, helping their wounded as they went. Kurt spun to see Adam still on his knees staring up at him. Kurt was pleased his first kiss was at least good looking; big, burly, blonde hair and blue eyes. All in all, he looked somewhat akin to an Abercrombie model.

"Just so you know, that was an awful kiss, you might want to work on that," Kurt informed him haughtily then raised a hesitant hand to his tender cheekbone and forgot all about Adam Underwood turning to Puck and Finn, "If I need plastic surgery I am sending you and Finn the bill."

Kurt turned on his heel and power marched away.

"Dude, he...he...just ki..kissed me," Adam finally found his voice and Puck smirked patting him on the shoulder.

"Yes he did."

They left the stunned hockey jock on the field and headed in to school to the bathroom to clean up before any of the girls saw them, but as luck would have it they were intercepted by Rachel who had been waiting to see the outcome of Puck's talk with Finn. When she saw Puck and Finn all bloodied she glared at Puck, jumping to the worst conclusion not even noticing Matt and Mike behind them, looking a little worse for wear as well.

"Noah, I told you not to fight!" Rachel stormed up to him and started slapping his arm furiously and Puck chuckled pulling her close to him so he could kiss her cheek. Rachel stopped struggling and looked at Finn surprised to see Finn grinning with amusement.

"Crawley had an appointment with my fist that I didn't want him to miss," Puck told her and Finn laughed, actually understanding the joke.

"We got them good," he agreed holding up his hand for a high five. Behind him Mike and Matt were murmuring their smug agreement.

"Yeah we did," Puck agreed giving Finn the high five he was waiting for and Rachel gaped at both of them in shock. On one hand she was pleased they were friends again, on the other hand she was annoyed because Puck ended up being in a fight and now he would have a bruised face. She liked his face so much. Never mind what her fathers' would say and his mother.

"Hudson, Puckerman, Chang, Rutherford, Principal Figgins office, now," Coach Tanaka hollered loudly from the other end of the hall and the four boys winced in anticipation. Coach Tanaka looked at them warily then asked, "Hummel too apparently. Where is he?"

"Ladies room," Tina piped up as she ran past with an ice pack and then disappeared into the ladies room. Inside the bathroom they could hear Kurt yelling commands and bemoaning his face, cursing all jocks everywhere.

"Well tell him to get his dancing butt to the Principal Figgins office now," Coach Tanaka roared and Rachel gave Puck a look that said he was in big trouble.

"Yes Coach," Rachel said running into the ladies room after Tina.

Puck, Finn, Matt, Mike and Kurt all sat at the Principal's desk looking at Principal Figgins who was leaning back in his chair eyeing them all.

"I should suspend all of you for this but since the newspapers are coming today to do a story on Glee Club I can't really send you home, so detention, for all of you," Principal Figgins told them slamming the table with his fist to emphasize his seriousness and Puck raised a hand hesitantly.

"Rachel and I have an ultrasound for the baby this afternoon that I can't miss and the guys have to be there to ah..." Puck wasn't too good with the coming up with believable lies at the last minute. He really didn't want the other guys to get busted just because he couldn't keep his temper, plus Rachel would lecture him if she found out that he had left the other guys to suffer his punishment.

"Promote Glee Club spirit," Kurt took over crossing his legs haughtily. He touched his cheek experimentally and winced. He seemed disinterested by the whole affair.

"A team that goes to ultrasounds together, stays together," Matt quipped and the other four all looked at him strangely. Matt really needed to work on his slogans.

"We need to stay a team Principal Figgins, otherwise we risk losing Regional's and that's not good publicity for the school," Mike added, making sure to touch on the fact that Glee Club were bringing publicity and donations to the school. Principal Figgins did love knowing the Glee was bringing more money to the school. Ever since Sectionals more people were donating to support them in their bid to win Regional's and earn a spot at Nationals.

Principal Figgins was shaking his head when all of a sudden he leaned forward in his chair, finally processing what they had been telling him.

"Wait a second, Rachel Berry is pregnant?" Principal Figgins asked in disbelief and the five jocks all exchanged glances.

"How did you not hear? People have been talking about it for a couple of weeks at least," Kurt commented inspecting his fingernails with disinterest and Principal Figgins rubbed his forehead.

How had another female student become pregnant without his knowledge? Darn teenagers and their libidos and blatant disregard for contraception.

"Do you actually do any rehearsing in Glee or do you just fornicate and impregnate each other?" Principal Figgins asked sarcastically and Matt and Finn frowned with confusion.

"Forni...what?" Finn repeated not exactly sure what that meant and Matt looked like the meaning of the word escaped him as well. Puck, Mike and Kurt shook their heads.

"Just get out of my office," Principal Figgins snapped and when they didn't move straight away he growled, "Now."

The five practically fell over each other in their haste to exit the office. Once outside they hurried to their lockers and paused outside Matt's, not really believing they had gotten away without any punishments.

"All right, no detention, my mom would have killed me if I got detention," Matt cheered happily and Mike leaned against the rows of lockers looking relieved.

"That was a close call," he commented needlessly as they were all aware of how close it actually was. Finn looked down at the ground then over at Puck.

"So, can we really come to the ultrasound?" Finn asked hesitantly and Puck looked surprised but shrugged.

"Yeah if you want," Puck knew Rachel wouldn't have a problem with it and Kurt beamed with delight. Matt and Mike both shrugged and nodded since they had nothing better to do and Finn smiled happily.

The guys headed into the bathroom to clean themselves up as best they could before the bell rang signalling lunch. The rest of Glee were waiting for them in the cafeteria at their usual table. Quinn ran up to Finn when she saw him and asked him if he was okay, Santana and Brittany did the same with Matt and Mike. Rachel remained seated and Puck took a seat besides her dropping a kiss on her temple. Kurt took a seat in between Puck and Mercedes, letting Mercedes check out his cheek to see if the swelling had gone down, enjoying Mercedes fawning all over him.

"What happened?" Rachel asked referring to their meeting with Principal Figgins and the others all crowded around the table eager to hear what happened.

"Figgins was going to give us detention but we shocked him with news you are pregnant and got out of it," Puck informed her happily and Rachel frowned.

"He didn't know?" she asked in disbelief. Rachel thought everyone had heard.

"Nope," Puck replied distractedly noticing the extra pie Rachel had on her tray. He reached out and took it while she wasn't looking. This pie was so worth living through a Rachel tantrum when she realized he stole her pie.

"Huh," Rachel mused thoughtfully, "Isn't the Principal supposed to know things like this?"

"Please, that man wouldn't know his head from his behind," Mercedes commented laughing.

"Can we focus here please? Does my cheek look like it is swelling?" Kurt asked poking out his head like a turtle and then he grinned mischievously, "And more importantly, I made out with Adam Underwood."

That led the girls to gasping and giggling demanding more information about said kiss and Kurt launched into a story of the fight from his perspective where he saved the day.

Puck was so thankful for Kurt and his giant ego. Puck shoved half the pie into his mouth and made himself chew quickly before shoving the other half in. God pie was so good. Puck wiped his mouth of all trace of pie before tapping Rachel's arm.

"So babe..." Puck began slowly and Rachel eyed him suspiciously.

"What do you want?" she asked with resignation and Puck frowned at her.

"Why would you assume I want something?" Puck asked and Rachel chuckled at his forlorn expression.

"Because you always start of a sentence with 'so babe..' when you want something," Rachel pointed out, poking a finger in his face for good measure and the others started laughing.

"Burn," Mercedes coughed from the corner which Puck found completely unhelpful. He flicked Mercedes the finger and Rachel slapped it away reproachfully.

"I kind of told Figgins that the reason we couldn't stay for detention after school was because we had an ultrasound to go to," Puck tried to explain to her and Rachel frowned.

"We do have an ultrasound to go to Noah," Rachel reminded him thinking that he had forgotten and Puck rolled his eyes. He wasn't that dumb, there was no way he would forget an ultrasound.

"No Rach, I meant we," Puck gestured to him and the other boys, "had an ultrasound to go to."

"Oh, so you all want to come?" Rachel asked surprised and everyone nodded their heads.

"Let's make it a Glee affair," Brittany cheered pumping her fist in the air excitedly and they all looked at her for a moment then back to Rachel.

"Fine," Rachel shrugged uncaringly looking down at her tray and she gasped in horror, "Hey, who ate my pie!"

Later that afternoon, after the local paper interviewed the club for an article the group made their way to the doctor's surgery, excited about being there for Rachel's ultrasound. The doctor inspected the extra ten teens crowding up his room with annoyance. Rachel was lying in her chair with her shirt pulled up while Santana and Mercedes were crowded around looking at her stomach. Puck had been kind of pushed to the side but he did manage to keep a hold of Rachel's hand. Finn and Quinn were standing against the wall holding hands. This wasn't easy for either of them but they wanted to be there. Kurt was standing by Rachel's feet inspecting her toes as he considered what color he would paint her nails this weekend and Brittany leaned on his back with a big grin on her face; no one was quite sure what she was thinking. Artie was closest to the door with Tina on his lap trying to stay out of the way while Mike and Matt were standing against a wall that had posters on childbirth on the wall.

"Do all of you really have to be in here?" the doctor asked with exasperation and Rachel nodded smiling fondly.

"Yes."

The doctor sighed and started getting his equipment ready when he noticed Brittany playing with the bottle that held the gel for the ultrasound.

"Hey, stop touching that," the doctor scolded Brittany, scaring her so that she dropped it on the floor causing it to spray on those closest to it; being Mercedes, Finn and Quinn.

"Brittany!" they growled simultaneously trying to wipe the goo off their shoes while the doctor shook his head.

"Oops," Brittany said giving a goofy smile that made it impossible to be angry with her.

"Check it out, this chick is naked," Matt thought he whispered to Mike while pointing at one of the posters but everyone heard him quiet clearly and Santana shot him the glare of death.

"If you would like to see a real girl naked any time soon you better stop perving on posters of naked women," Santana threatened him and Matt averted his eyes immediately. Mike laughed, making a whip sound.

Rachel looked around the room of chaos and then over at Puck who shrugged helplessly and Rachel grinned. This was their family, and they loved each and every one of them. Rachel couldn't have asked for better friends.

The next day Puck had a déjà vu when he saw Rachel bent down at the choir room door, sneaking peeks into the window. Of course the last time he had caught her spying on people in the music room she hadn't been nearly six months pregnant.

"Who are you spying on this time?" Puck asked scaring her and Rachel pressed her finger to her lips frowning seriously. Puck snuck a quick look through the window. Mr Shue and Miss Pillsbury were in the choir room together. Puck paused to listen.

"How are you doing Will? I know this must be hard on you, with Puck and Rachel and their baby."

"No its fine, it's good to see Puck and Rachel really forging a life for themselves, and the rest of the Glee club supporting them, I've never been prouder of my kids."

Puck and Rachel shared a smile at his words. Mr Shue was like the fun uncle, all of Glee adored him, so to be getting compliments from him was pretty cool.

"Have you spoken to Terri?" Miss Pillsbury ventured to ask and Rachel saw Mr Shue run a tired hand through his short blonde curls.

"Her sister Kendra calls me every couple of days saying that I should forgive Terri," Mr Shue told Miss Pillsbury taking a seat on the piano bench heavily and Miss Pillsbury perched on a chair beside him.

"Are you going to?" Miss Pillsbury prompted and Mr Shue sighed deeply before giving a firm shake of his head.

"No."

"I hope you aren't turning your back on Terri for me," Miss Pillsbury said so softly that Puck and Rachel had to strain their ears to hear her words.

"No, I'm doing it for me, I can't be with someone like that, I can't be with someone who thinks it's okay to lie about something that big," Mr Shue said decidedly and Miss Pillsbury patted him on the shoulder comfortingly before brushing a kiss against his cheek.

Mr Shue's arms reached out to hold her to him for a moment. They stayed that way for a couple of moments and then Miss Pillsbury reluctantly pulled away and Puck grabbed Rachel's hand and dragged her away as fast as she could waddle before they got caught eavesdropping. Puck pulled her into their closet, not for sexy time, but just for somewhere to wait out until Miss Pillsbury returned to her office. Rachel looked upset.

"Babe what's wrong?" Puck asked her, caressing her cheek affectionately and Rachel pouted.

"They love each other, why doesn't Miss P break it off with Coach Tanaka and be with Mr Shue?"

"Rach, things aren't always simple, you and I know that better than anyone," Puck reminded her sensibly and Rachel sighed.

"I know, they will get their happy ending someday," Rachel said surely, with that glint in her eyes.

Puck didn't like that look, it meant her brain was scheming. He just hoped he wouldn't be involved in whatever new match making scheme she was cooking up. He loved her; but sometimes she was just crazy. Rachel went on her toes to kiss him when the bell rang and they separated to head to their next class.

Puck threw an arm around Rachel's shoulders and kissed her temple as the group entered the choir room for Glee that afternoon. They stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of Principal Figgins, Sue Sylvester, Miss Pillsbury and Mr Shue seated at the front of the class room. The students looked over at the desks set up with bananas and condoms. Mr Shue and Miss Pillsbury looked apologetic.

"In light of the new development that yet another girl in Glee has fallen pregnant, we have decided to go through the basics of contraception with you to avoid another unplanned teenage pregnancy," Principal Figgins informed them, and Mr Shue rubbed his forehead with his hand.

"Thanks a lot Puck," someone, probably Matt punched Puck in the arm and Puck flicked him the finger discreetly.

"Take a seat and take your banana," Principal Figgins ordered them and the teenagers awkwardly shifted to the tables. They worked in pairs except for Quinn who joined Mercedes and Kurt. Finn must have been running late.

"Don't be a fool, wrap your tool, that's my motto, whenever I have sex; and I have a lot of sex, I'm like a sex God, I always make sure the fella wears a condom, no one needs an STD," Sue piped up proudly slamming the table with her first and everyone exchanged glances. The mental image alone was contraception in and of itself.

After an uncomfortably long half an hour Principal Figgins was finally satisfied that all Glee members could successfully use a condom he took his leave and Sue followed him.

"I'm sorry about that guys," Mr Shue apologized then he started handing out his music.

Matt had blown up one of the condoms and let it go absently much to the amusement of all present. The condom spluttered through the air and hit Finn Hudson square in the forehead when he walked into the room. He caught the offending item and stared down at it, then at the group.

"What the hell?" Finn demanded as the group burst into laughter at the look on his face.

"It's not used man," Mike tried to reassure him but Finn dropped the condom anyway and shivered.

"Sorry I'm late," Finn apologized going to sit with Quinn, dropping a kiss on her forehead and Matt scoffed.

"Don't be sorry, you're the lucky one."

"Figgins took us through safe sex 101."

"But Rachel's already pregnant."

"I think the purpose was to stop the rest of the club falling pregnant."

"You guys are all having sex?" Finn asked in disbelief and Kurt rolled his eyes.

"Calm down, no one is having sex," Kurt's eyes glinted with fun as he spared Rachel and Puck a mischievous glance, "except Rachel and Puck,"

"Kurt!" Rachel shrieked with indignation throwing her purse at him and Kurt ducked narrowly avoiding a bag to the head.

After football that Wednesday Puck and Kurt were the last ones in the locker room. Puck finished packing up his gear then poked his head in the shower area to find Kurt wiping cream on his face.

"You coming Kurt?" Puck asked and Kurt shook his head.

"I just want to finish up exfoliating," Kurt told him gesturing to his vast array of tubes and bottles.

Puck left him to his effeminate devices grabbing his bag and jogging to the car park. Puck was sitting in his car when he realized that he had forgotten his phone back in his locker. Sighing at his own stupidity Puck made his way back to the lockers but stopped at the sight of Kurt making out with Adam Underwood, the hockey jock whom Kurt had kissed to stop the brawl a couple of weeks back. Puck ducked behind the lockers quickly, but he couldn't resist listening in. Rachel was seriously rubbing off on him.

"Was that any better?" Adam's uncertain voice echoed through the empty locker room.

"Yes," Kurt gasped breathless and Puck peeked around to see Adam move in to kiss Kurt again but Kurt stopped him with his hand snapping, "Stop. I'm not your floatation device for testing out the gay waters. If I make out twice with anyone, I demand at least one date. If you aren't sure of your sexuality, then stop wasting my time."

"I quit the hockey team," Adam blurted out, then shrugged his large shoulders, "Since you kissed me I've felt...different. I always suspected that I might...that I might be gay...but it wasn't until you kissed me that I was sure."

Kurt's mouth dropped open and so did Puck's. Puck had no idea there were closest homosexuals at McKinley High. Kurt regained his senses and gave a hesitant smile.

"So I picked the right jock to make out with?" Kurt asked softly and Adam smiled a little embarrassed, but he took a step closer to Kurt.

"Maybe you picked up on my rainbow flag waving vibe," Adam joked softly and Kurt giggled but then a thought crossed his mind and he became serious.

"It's not easy being out and gay you know," he warned Adam who got a proud determined look on his face.

"I don't want to hide who I am anymore," he stated firmly, then he smiled down at Kurt, "So do you want to go on a date?"

Kurt answered him by kissing him and Puck thought he better leave the scene before it went further than PG13. He wasn't sure he could handle watching Kurt get to any base other than first with another guy.

Puck would just have to live without his phone for a night.

AN: Wooooooo Kurt!!! You sexy thing!!! You know for this story I nearly made it be a Finn and Kurt thing hehehe, but I so wanted Finn back with Quinn (come on, their names rhyme, how are they not meant to be together?). So instead I made Kurt his own dream man.

NEXT CHAPTER: It's Puck's birthday, but no one remembers. Glee gets a new song choice for Regional's. Be prepared to download a song because it won't be awesome unless you listen to the song while reading it. If you want to get into it now, its 'Love Heals' for the Rent movie soundtrack. Two lovely reviewers recommended this song, I'll mention them at the top of the necxt chapter.

Glee Rant: My rant isn't so bad this week LOL Watched Mattresses last night and I loved the Jump song! It was awesome, best one they have done so far I reckon. And the scenes with Terri and Will, OMG drama drama but it was just...awesome. Finally he sees her for the crazy woman she is. And how cute was Rachel when she gave Mr Shue that salute. If I was a lesbian 'bam!' seriously.

My problem with the episode was this; Rachel is a dumbass, when will she learn that Finn will always let her down. Every single time she gives him a chance he lets her down. Silly silly girl. Unless Finn get a backbone and a brain it's not really going to work. If he is scared of the football team now, imagine if he tried to date her. Now Puck; Puck proudly dated her in public, but I think Finn would be too afraid of what others think to do so. But I am biased because I love Puckleberry.

Meanwhile Brittany cracked me up LOL When Rachel was trying to get her to be co-captain and she's like, "Stop talking to me" LOL I laughed so hard.
