A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I've been busy with schoolwork and such, so anyways… here's the next Chapter. This does deal with Quinn's pregnancy, certainly a lot more than it deals with Ellie. These storylines will be interchanged throughout the story…

Four: Alternate Reality

Finn Hudson sang out all the words to "Jump" by Van Halen. Thus was awesome! Artie was playing that classic Eddie Van Halen guitar, and Puck was even contributing the Bass a little bit.

They were really all having a great time. Especially Finn. Puck and Artie both played their instruments, and they both did that fairly well.

In any case, Finn sung. He sung better. And he jammed like there was no tomorrow when a great song like this one came on.

He finished up the last note, and high-fived Puck and Artie. "That was incredible," he told all of them.

Including himself.

He thought that maybe this new girl would energize the club, and that maybe they could do something in Regionals- against Caramel.

Sectionals weren't until the 12th of January, but that was going to be easy.

Finn tried to push it out of his mind, as Artie hit the opening chord of "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi.

He began to sing the entire song with great intensity, and really got into it, jumping around his bedroom when they got to the final chorus.

Artie hit the last note, and even Puck was excited. "Hell yeah," Puck said. "This is fun."

Finn beamed, and he knew he had stuff to do later on. Dealing with Quinn and Rachel was not going to be easy.

But, for the time being, Finn was content with running around singing about his woman leaving him, and everything else that came along with Glee club.

Eventually, Artie had to go home for some reason after his mother gave him a call. That left Finn and Puck, the football stars, alone in the Hudson home.

"Sooo…" Puck began.

"Yeah," Finn said, shaking his head. "Yeah."

"How are you handling it, man?" Puck asked, concerned about his friend's wellbeing.

"Truth be told- I don't know. I really don't," Finn said.

"Hey, if I told you something about Quinn, would you get mad?"

"What?"

"Well, see, Quinn's baby is…" Puck started.

"What man, what the hell?"

"It's mine."

"No. No, man. You probably got drunk or something and don't remember what happened."

"Finn…" Puck tried.

"No. Quinn would never sleep with you. She wouldn't. We conceived in the hot tub," Finn said to himself more than to Puck.

"She was drunk, and mad at you for joining Glee. And, so was I. I hadn't bounced Santana in weeks. And, I was pretty wasted."

"Man, you're wrong. There's some mistake. Your dad had memory problems. Maybe you do too," Finn said.

"I'm sorry," Puck said, and took his Bass home.

What had happened? Why had everything gone so wrong? Finn knew Quinn vehemently disapproved of him joining Glee club, but sleeping with his best friend? Quinn's best friend's boyfriend?

At Santana's house? No, there was something that Puck wasn't telling him. Or, was there?

Puck wasn't a liar. But, he made mistakes- big ones. All the time. This time, he had gotten way to far into it, and couldn't get out.

Now, Quinn was pregnant with Puck's kid. But, really Finn's. That's the way he had to look at it. Even if the kid wasn't biologically his, Finn's mindset, he hoped, wouldn't change.

The kid was still emotionally his. Now, he had to figure out a good lie to tell Quinn how he had found out. Even if Puck had been a terrible friend, he still was his best one.

He couldn't let Puck hang out to dry like that? Could he?

Puck had known Finn since 2nd Grade, but Quinn was more recent. It was more spontaneous, and they started dating quickly after they met.

But, Puck was Puck. And, he had said it was alright when Finn had made stupid mistakes in the past that could have ruined their friendship.

Now, it was Finn's turn.

He had convinced himself to have a positive attitude about the whole situation.

It was hard, though, he had to admit. His best friend and his girlfriend both betraying him like that. He told himself to just calm down, and had to think of therapist ways to deal with his anger. And his sadness. That was much worse.

Finn misread what Puck was trying to do. He wasn't trying to gloat, or infuriate Finn. He was trying to help him.

For that, he commended his friend.

Puck and Finn had laughed off so many things it was really unimaginable that anything could break the bond.

There were reasons for optimism, and one was that Ellie Warner. The new girl from Phoenix had been a singing champion in Arizona, and was bringing her great voice and even better ass to Lima.

Oooooh, baby.

Finn thought about alternate realities where weird things happened. It just happened that his reality was now not very realistic.

It was now very alternate.

Puck had slept with Quinn. Finn's Quinn!! Not his! And now Quinn was pregnant by Puck.

That certainly wasn't Finn's reality yesterday.

An alternate reality had become all too real. And now, Finn Hudson was trying desperately to leave.
