chapter six

Berry told Finn I was the real father of Quinn's unborn daughter a couple of days before sectionals. Quinn had come up to me that day in Glee rehearsal to ask me to take her to get Jewish baby testing things or something. She told me that Rachel said unborn children can get this disease if one of the parents is Jewish.

"I can't do it on Friday. I have fight club."

She looked hurt. That was an excuse, I didn't have fight club, but I didn't wanna go for these tests with Quinn because I didn't want Finn finding out the truth. I didn't go to the first sonogram things or any of the doctors appointments. That was all Finn. The only thing I had was a small photo Quinn gave me of the sonogram in my wallet. After Glee I went to my locker. I saw Rachel Berry talking to Finn a little way down the hall. That was a bit odd. I knew Finn and Rachel were on the verge of something potentially serious, but would Berry really want to put a possible distraction in front of a win at sectionals? Rachel was animatedly talking, throwing her arms in the air. Finn's face went from boredom to shock to anger. I'd never seen him look so angry. He looked up at me and met my eyes. In that instant I knew he knew. I slammed my locker shut and walked to the choir room to wait for the second hour of Glee Club. I could hear footsteps behind me and I knew it was Finn. Mike, Santana, Brittany and Quinn were already in the choir room. When I got there I looked directly at Quinn.

"I'm sorry." I said. She looked confused. As did everyone else. I heard Finn come up behind me. Before I knew it my shoulder had been grabbed, forcing me to spin around. I felt a clenched fist fly into my face, just below my eye. I went down with the shock of the punch and felt Finn on top of me, landing punches to my face. I didn't fight back. Everybody, except Quinn, was in a state of shock that caused extreme stillness. I could see her standing in the background. I could hear her screaming at Finn to stop. He didn't.

"Come on you coward fight me!" he screamed. Before I could react I heard the voice of Mr. Schuester. Finn was pulled off me.

"Punk just came in and sucker punched me!" I shouted to the Glee Club teacher.

"Is it true?" Finn asked me.

"Is what true?"

"Don't play dumb. You're too freaking dumb to play dumb!" He went for me again. This time I grabbed his hand and twisted it behind his back. Mr Schue pushed me off him.

"Finn calm down." He said.

"NO THEY'RE BOTH LYING TO ME!" He screamed. "Is it true? Just tell me is it true?" The question was for Quinn. I instinctively went and stood next to her, afraid of what he might do.

"Yes," she whispered, "Puck is the father." My heart sank. As much as I loved Quinn, it broke my heart to see my best friend in so much pain. Because of me. Finn looked devastated. His voice was small.

"All that…? In the hot tub? That was a lie?"

"You were stupid enough to buy it!" I yelled back at him. For some reason I was furious. I had no right to be. He went for me again but was pulled back by Mr. Schue. Quinn was in tears as she attempted to approach Finn but he stepped back from her.

"I'm done with you," He spat at her, "I'M DONE WITH ALL OF YOU!" With that he kicked over a chair and stormed out. I could hear Quinn's sobs behind me. Without caring for anyone or anything, I turned to her and took her in my arms. She returned my hug, resting her head on my shoulder as her small body convulsed with sobs. After a while she released herself from my embrace and left, not looking at anyone.

When I caught up with her again, she was sitting on a small ledge in the hall. Rachel was sitting next to her, which surprised me immensely; they weren't exactly BFF's. When Rachel saw me approaching she stood and walked past me. I took a deep breath and sat down next to Quinn.

"Look, I know this may seem bad right now, but good will come of this. Now we can be together. I wanna be with you Quinn. We can get a house, furniture. We could be a family." She didn't answer for a while. She just stared straight ahead.

"I just don't need anymore stress in my life right now." I want to do this by myself. I know you don't understand it, but please respect it." With that she left me, sitting in the hall. All alone. Again.
