Chapter five: Left alone at the restaurant

Quinn's POV

Tears streamed down my face. I saw the mascara colored teardrops hit the tile flooring. "FINN NO! I LOVE YOU!" I screamed, but no sound came out. "I LOVE RACHEL. I HATE YOU QUINN, AND YOUR BABY WITH NOAH!" Finn succesfully yelled at me. He bent down to Rachel's height and kissed her deeply.

"NO!" I yelled, sitting up in bed. I looked around. Sunlight peeked through my tightly drawn curtains, creating a single ray of light onto my pale blue walls. The ray of light casted onto a picture I had hanging up. I untangled myself from my blanket and crawled out of bed and went to the picture. It was of Finn and I. I traced over his handsome face with my fingers. He's mine. Finn Hudson is my boyfriend, and no big nosed midget is going to change that. My phone alarmed went off, signaling that I had an hour to get ready for my date with Finn. I smiled. Everything was perfect. Finn asked me out to dinner tonight, saying he has something important he needed to tell me. I sighed contently. Finn was probably going to proclaim his love and devotion to me and my baby- I mean our baby. I don't care if Puck is the real father of my baby, Finn will love and care for this child as his own, because he will think it is his own.

I quickly changed into a simple black mini dress. My baby bump is yet to form it still looked great on me. I curled my soft blonde hair to perfection. I did my makeup with a simple touch of mascara and lip gloss. I slipped into my black flats and grabbed my matching clutch. I was ready to go. Oh wait, I slipped on the necklace Finn got me on my birthday, for good measure.

LATER AT THE RESTAURANT

I had just finished my steak dinner when Finn cleared his throat. "Quinn, I need to tell you something. The reason I asked you out tonight is because-" "Oh Finn i already know why." I interupted him with a sweet smile. "You know that Rachel's pregnant?" He asked me, with a confused look on his face. In a matter of seconds I felt my heart break into a million pieces. I knew there was a possibility of Rachel being pregnant but knowing it's true tears me apart. I decided to play it cool and salvage our relationship. I took his hand. "Of course I knew. I don't see why it has to do with us though." I looked into his eyes and tried to look as clueless and innocent as possible. So what if I knew Finn was the father? I could pretend I didn't and continue playing the perfect girlfriend who has the perfect boyfriend. I continued, "That situation has to do with Rachel and whomever got her pregnant. It has nothing to do with us." I kept eye contact with Finn the entire time, silently praying he won't confess. "But Quinn, I'm-" "Finish your steak." I stuffed a some streak into his mouth so he couldn't finish his sentence. Finn swallowed his steak and opened his mouth to speak. "I just want you to know how much I love you!" I told him "Everything is so perfect right now. I mean yeah, I wasn't planning on getting pregnant but I couldn't think of anything better than carrying your child Finn Hudson." Wow, lying to him is suprisingly easy. I should become an actress.

Finn started to talk, I opened my mouth to interupt him again. "QUINN JUST LET ME SPEAK FROM A SECOND." he said, voice slightly raised. I sunk back into my seat, accepting defeat. "Thank you. Quinn I love you too, you know that." he took my hand before speaking again. "A relationship is nothing without trust. Quinn I'm sorry, but I'm the person who slept with Rachel at Puck's party, and I'm the father of Rachel's baby." I cleared my throat. "No one has to know." I told his seriously. He stared at me in confusion. "What do you mean?" I started again, "Finn, think about it. You're the most popular guy in school. You're dating me. Do you really want to waste all of that away? When people find out you're the guy who knocked up Man hands you'll become the jerk's next victim. We can't let that happen." He took his hand back and stared at me in disbelief. "You seriously think I'm going to abandon Rachel at a time like this? Rachels my friend, and I care about her. I already love that little child she's holding just as much as I love the child you're holding. I don't care if I get pummeled by the hockey team or thrown in the dumpster by my own teamates. I'm going to be there for her, just like I'm going to be there for you." With that he stormed out and left me there alone.

THE NEXT DAY

Finn's POV

I pulled off my letterman jacket and threw it on my bed. It'd been a long day. I'd been purposely avoiding Quinn. I know it might sound harsh to avoid you're pregnant girlfriend but she was really harsh about the Rachel situation. At least it's Friday. I have two whole days to figure out what I'm going to do about this. At least Rachel's been there for me. She was a big help.

Flashback

Me and Rachel has just sat down to eat. "Are you alright Finn? You appear to be a little preoccupied, something on your mind?" She asked me. I smiled at her. She was so selfless. She was the one carrying around our child and having to deal with pregnancy hormones and her busy schedule, and she was worried about me, the jack ass who knocked her up. "It's the whole Quinn thing, I don't know what I'm going to do." I told her honestly. "Give Quinn space. I'm sure she was just suprised and spoke out of the anger she felt towards me. Just give her time and I'm sure she'll come around. Let's face it, how well would you react if you found out the love of your life interacted in sexual relations with someone who wasn't you, and they were going to have a child together?" I felt my lips spread into a smile.

Back to present time

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I Pulled it out and and looked at the screen. *ONE NEW MESSAGE FROM QUINN* I took a deep breath and clicked read.

Wow, Rachel was right. Wait- why am I thinking about Rachel? Me and my girlfriend just made up over an argument but I'm thinking about Rachel? Now that I think of it, Rachel's the only thing on my mind lately.
