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: Thought it was time for an update!

Disclaimer: Argh.... I want to watch Glee episode 14! You think I'd wait this long to watch it if I owned Glee? Nope... sigh....

She didn't stop crying when she got home. She couldn't stop the salty tears from flowing down her face. Luckily her dads were away at a conferance so they didn't see their daughter like this.

She was all alone in her empty house. On the days her dads were away she would call Noah over to keep her company. Most of the time was spent making-out. Though they had been alone it never went that far. Noah would always pull away because he cared for her. But sometimes Rachel wished it would go further.

The rest of her night was spent watching her favourite musicals like Grease. Eventually she went back up to her room and cried herself to sleep.

She had the worst nightmare. It was odd and abstract. Quinn was there, in the hosptal again, sitting up on the bed with a baby in her arms. She smiled over it and warched as the baby girl stared up at the mother. Puck stood next to Quinn, crooning over the baby. Suddenly Finn was there too, on the other side of Quinn. He too smiled down at the baby. Both then leaned in a pecked Quinn on the cheek.

Rachel didn't come go to school the next day. Miss 'Perfect-Attendance' wasn't in.

Puck had driven to her house that morning like a stalker. But he just had to see Rachel.

He sat outside the familiar white brick house and waited for any sign that Rachel was coming out. Unluckily, that didn't happen. All the curtains were drawn and the house was quiet. Ouck knew Rachel's dads weren't home, they were away, so it was okay for her to miss school.

After waiting for nearly an hour he knew she wouldn't be going to school. She wouldn't want to talk to him or Finn or anyone right now.

He drove back to school, very late. His mother had forced him to go.

Puck had really told his mom everything about the baby last night. He told her did not remember sleeping with Quinn and she never even told him. And anyway, the baby was already adopted so he couldn't do anything about it.

It would be a lie to say his mom wasn't dissapointed with him. But she did realize it wasn't entirely her son's fault. Quinn knew the real father of her baby and never told anyone.

Quinn didn't come into school either. Who could blame her? The whole school knows by now that she's been lying, Puck thought. Those thoughts dissapeared in a flash when he saw the gold star sticker Rachl had placed on the glove compartment weeks ago. It was to remind him of her.

This is all Quinn's fault! Puck cursed. He parked in the school parking lot and got out.

He turned around and headed to the school front enterance. He noticed that all eyes were on him.

The same thing happened to Finn. Everyone was watching him. He had also come to school because of his mother.. Once she had found out the baby wasn't really his, she consoled him. Mrs Hidson also persuaded him to go to school the next day to show he doesn't care what people think. That was easier said then done.

It was like all the students were waiting for Finn to burst out crying. He almost did so. He realized Quinn wasn't in, which was good. Just saying her name got a lump in his throat. Quinn had once lived with him, as her parents had kicked her out for being pregnant. After the baby was born, however, she was able to go back home. She had threatened to call Child Protection as she was still underage. They had had to let their daughter come back home. But she was isloated. They never talked to her.

Quinn was, at that moment, curled up in bed crying. Now everyone knew her secret. And by the look on Finn's face he wouldn't be able to forgive her. It was only Finn she cared about, not Puck. In her mind Finn had always been the real father of the baby.

Tina, Mercedes, Artie and Kurt sat in the lunch hall, gossiping about the BabbyDaddy scandel.

"So how's Puck taking it?" Artie asked.

"He seems.... calm," said Tina. She had finally come clean about her fake stutter.

"Calm? Did you see the look on his face? His eyes looked like they were on fire!" Kurt disbuted.

"No, I thought that was because of Rachel," Mercedes frowned. "She's not here today."

"Do you think they broke up?"

"They've been dating for over 3 months, they can't break up in just 5 minutes!" Tina protested.

"What about Finn and Quinn?" Artie asked.

"Definatly broken up. They were about to hit rock bottom anyway," Mercedes commented.

"Should we worrying about them or should we be worrying about Glee?" Their eyes widened in shock. With all the commotion with the scandel they had forgotten that Regionals were around the corner. Not just around the corner, they were just about to meet up with eachother. Regionals was next. Monday.

"Will Rachel be back?" Mercedes asked exasperated.

"Let's hope so or we're doomed!" Kurt said in shock.

"But can't Quinn do the lead?"

"That's if she comes back. But I doubt Finn would want to sing with her," Mercedes sighed. "Either way we're done for...." They all looked grim. "Unless..."

Kurt grinned. "You have an idea, don't you?"

"We go by her house after school and try and talk some sense into her!"

-------

"Hey Rach!" They shouted as they got out of Mercedes car (not a Mercedes by the way). They had rushed over to Rachel's house as soon as the last bell had gone.

"What are you doing here?" she asked agitated. She walked out of her front door and closer to her friends. "I don't want to talk to anyone right now."

"Please Rachel, we came by to make sure you were okay," Kurt told her. "You missed school."

"I wasn't feeling well," Rachel snapped. "Now if you would please leave."

Artie obsered there were two cars in the driveway. "What did you tell your dads?"

"I told them the truth. I wasn;t feeling well so I stayed home."

"Honey, we all know the truth, you don't need to hide it," Mercedes said sympathetically.

"Look, I don't care what you know," Racel's words became frozen with ice. "I'm not hiding anything. I told you why I didn't come in to school today. I also told you I don't want to talk to anyone right now so please leave!"

"We'll leave Rachel, but we'll be back tomorrow," Mercedes notified her.

"I would rather you didn't, I will not be home tomorrow."

"Why?"

"My dads have recommended I check into a spa to get better," she informed them.

"For how long?" Tina asked is dismay.

"As long as it takes to get better."

"But you need to come to school Monday!" they protested.

"So that's what this is all about," Rachel exclaimed outraged. "You are just worried about Reginals! I've never had friends before but I know they're supposed to care for each other!"

She stormed off to her car. Her bags were already packed and in her trunk. She got into her small convertable, slamming the door, and drove off.

The others tried to stop her but it was no use. She was already gone.

They were going to lose.

Review please! Complaints or whatever....
