The rumours are right. Quinn Fabray is pregnant. They all think it's Finn's but only she knows the secret. It's really Noah Puckerman's. But Puck doesn't remember sleeping with Quinn. Will he ever find out the truth of the baby...?

A/N: We were learning about SHAKESPEARE today and METAPHORS so I tried using a metaphor. Try and spot it: it has something to do with Santana. I decided to update quickly because I'm really getting into the story. Thanks for the reviews!

Chapter Seven

"That was amazing," Rachel said in amazement. "I never knew action films could be so interesting."

She and Noah were coming out of the cinema after their 2nd date. It was the first movie Rachel had watched that didn't have any songs. Strangely, she loved it.

"It wasn't that good," Noah said. Rachel playfully punched him and they laughed. They were having a great time. "So does this encourage you to watch more action movies?"

"Noah Puckerman, did you just use the word 'encourage' correctly?" Rachel said in mock shock. Noah laughed, running a hand through his mohawk. She's rubbing off on me, he thought. "Yes, this does encourage me to see other non-musicals if they are as good as that film."

"I still can't believe that was the first time you watched an action film. What have you been doing all your life?"

"Going to singing lessons," Rachel told him, blushing. Noah liked it when she blushed; it gave her cheeks a bright pink colour.

Crap, I shouldn't be thinking like this. I'm turning into a fucking pansy! I should be thinking about getting into her pants.

Will Schuester was not the kind of man to yell; but when he marched into the locker room he was on a mission to set Coach Tanaka straight.

"Ken, how could you do this!" Will shouted at Coach Tanaka. "I thought we agreed, Thursdays are for Glee Club rehearsals! Yet you rescheduled Football Practice for Thursdays?"

Ken stood there, eyes blazing with anger. "You know why I did this, Will."

Glee Club rehearsals were set on Thursdays. Football on Tuesdays but for some strange reason Tanaka changed the practice for Thursdays too. That was a big problem considering that the lead male vocalist was on the Football team too. He would have to choose and so would the other 3 Glee Club members.

There was a reason behind this though. Ken was extremely jealous. He had the right to be: his fiancée was in love with the head of Glee Club. Now all Ken wanted to do now was bring him down.

The argument got more heated until Will stormed out. Out of rage, Ken punched table then swore loudly when his fist collided with the hard surface. His hand started bleeding heavily so he rushed to the nurse's office to get it bandaged, closing the door to the empty locker room on the way out.

Despite what he thought, the locker room wasn't empty. Behind the lockers hid a couple who were in a make-out session when they were interrupted by the arguing. They had heard the whole thing.

"Crap," Puck cursed under his breath.

Rachel looked at him threw her big brown eyes full of wonder and a slight bit of sadness. "What are you going to do?" she asked out of concern. Unfortunately it wasn't concern for Puck.

"I don't know, Rach."

-------

That Thursday all Glee Club members apart from Mike, Matt, Puck and Finn stood in the choir room, watching the clock.

Coach Tanaka had refused to reschedule the football team practice much to their dismay so all the Gleeks could do is wait and hope for the other boys to show up. The clock struck 3:30pm and they all looked toward the door. They saw no one; heard no footsteps. It seemed no one was coming.

Mr Schue sighed, running his fingers through his hair then smiled brightly when he heard approaching footsteps. Matt and Mike entered, greeted by applause and an embrace from Brittany and Santana. These boys had been playing football since they were 10 years old but they chose Glee over it. Mr Schue was beaming with pride.

Suddenly Puck emerged too. Some Gleeks gasped dramatically. Rachel approached him, astounded but cheerful.

"Are you sure about this?" she asked quietly, almost a whisper.

"Defiantly," he said grinning. They put their arms around each other in a tight embrace and the others watched them, mouths hanging open in surprise. Santana was a boiling kettle, fuming with jealousy. Kurt mouthed 'Oh Em Gee' to Mercedes. The couple broke apart then stared back at the door.

Everyone was thinking the same thing but only Rachel had the guts to say it out loud. "Where's Finn?"

-------

Peer pressure happens in all schools. Peer pressure was the reason one of the boys didn't show for rehearsals. Finn. The football team had got to him so he had to stay with them for his 'reputation'.

Mr Schue seemed to think that they could handle being with out Finn but in truth they were doomed. They were going to be destroyed at Sectionals and were doomed of getting slushie facials by the football team everyday now.

Mercedes, Tina and Kurt (all dressed in anoraks to avoid slushies) marched up to Rachel the next day when she was at her locker. Why does everybody keep cornering me at my locker? Rachel thought to herself. "Hello fellow Glee Clubbers," she greeted them politely. "What can I do the honour of assisting you?"

"This is an intervention," Mercedes told her. "About Puck."

"You mean a Puckvention," Rachel corrected then realized what she had said. "Why are you having an intervention about Noah?"

"It's for your own good, Rachel," Kurt said, blocking her way of getting out.

"Since when have any of you cared about me?" Rachel snapped at them.

"Puck is a jerk, sweetie," Kurt said fiercely.

"H-h-he threw slushies at people," Tina stuttered.

"He threw slushies at you, girl," Mercedes added.

"If you haven't noticed people can change. Noah hasn't thrown slushies at anyone for weeks and he's made it up to me. In addition, I don't see why you have developed a sudden interest in my personal life and me as you were so determined to stay away from me through out the whole of Glee rehearsals. My personal life has nothing to do with you!" Rachel stormed out of the way, trying to get to the end of the hallway away from them when Tina's stutter made her stop.

"W-w-what a-about Finn?" she said. Rachel immediately stopped in her tracks and reversed back to them.

"What about Finn?" Rachel luckily had taken acting classes and knew how to pretend to be annoyed. Kurt had taken acting classes, too, and caught her out.

"Don't play dumb sweetie, everyone knows you have feelings for him," Kurt said, in a sickly sweet voice.

"Whatever feelings I had for him are gone," Rachel lied. Kurt took a step forward so they were face-to-face, inches away from each other. They both glared.

"Now listen here," he said quietly; Tina and Mercedes had to come in closer to hear. "We all know you have feelings for Finn, don't try and deny it. And you're doing the same thing to Puck as he did to you. You're leading him on. You're still heartbroken about Finn that you've decided to get yourself a boyfriend. But it the end, it's all going to go down the same way. Someone's gonna get hurt."

Rachel stood there trembling for a second, ingesting the news. It was all very true. She had been leading Noah on. She had to stop it. She had to end it sooner rather than later. She took a deep breath and turned around to find Noah.

Kurt, Mercedes and Tina watched her go. Tina whispered to them so Rachel wouldn't hear. "You d-d-don't really think that Puck's going to g-ge-get hurt, do you?"

"We're talking about Noah Puckerman. Nothing can hurt him."

I'm actually quite proud of that chapter. Thanks for the reviews, it really means a lot!

Review please!

P.S Sorry that Artie isn't in this chapter but I don't think he's the type of guy to meddle in people's lives.
