Chapter 4: Decision

Today, Quinn was not going to school. She was going to stay home and think about what she wanted to do about this damn baby. Quinn tugged at the covers as she rolled onto her side. Last night she got no sleep because all she could do was sleep.

Finn had already called her five times but she didn't bother returning his phone calls. She didn't want to tell him what she was thinking because he would never go for it. He called again. Quinn took the phone, turned it off, and threw it on the floor. It wasn't just Finn that she didn't want to talk to, it was everyone.

This decision was going to be the biggest one she ever made. Keeping it created more trouble for everyone than aborting it. Quinn was going to have to drop out, get a job, marry Finn, and give up her freedom. None of this appealed her. She wanted to be a beauty queen or anything besides being a teenage mother.

Keeping the baby meant keeping its father a secret from them, forever. There was no way that Mr. Shue could be revealed as the father without ensuing chaos. She knew that Finn was doing the honorable thing; she just wished she could do it too.

She sighed as she pulled the covers off of her. The cold air made her skin crawl. She was going to see the doctor to talk about her options. If Will wasn't there the other day, she would have asked him her options.

Quinn slipped on a stretchy dress and some flip-flops. She looked at herself in the mirror. There were bags under her eyes from not sleeping. This was going to be what she looked like for the next eighteen years of her life.

Quinn hopped in her car and headed to the hospital. Abortion was becoming the option that was more appealing to her. She could get rid of it and go back to life as it was before. Her popularity and relationship would still be intact.

"Can I help you?" the receptionist asked as Quinn walked up to the counter.

She nodded, "I would like to see Doctor Klem."

"Do you have an appointment?"

She shook her head. The receptionist began to look at the schedule to see if he was free.

"Well, you are in luck, he has a thirty minute break right now," she said.

Quinn smiled, relieved, "Great."

A nurse waved Quinn over. She followed her into the same room that she was in last time. She was glad that she didn't have to put on the awkward gown.

"What can I do for you, Miss Fabray?" Doctor Klem asked as he entered the room. He sat down on the stool in front of her.

"I would like to know a bit more about my options," her voice was shaking.

He raised a brow, "I thought you came in here the other day and were already decided."

Quinn scoffed, "That was just to make sure I was really knocked up."

"Well…there are three options: you keep it, have an abortion, or you put it up for adoption," he informed her. He reached over and grabbed a couple of pamphlets. Opening the first one, "Now, what do you know about abortion?"

She shrugged, "Just that I won't be pregnant."

He sighed, "Abortion is something that you have to be one hundred percent certain on. One day you are pregnant and the next, there is no baby. I'm sure that seems like the best option because you are so young, but it is a tough one."

Quinn remained silent. She wanted him to be honest with her and lay it all on the table. This had been keeping her up at night and she just wanted some damn sleep.

"Now, if you do pursue an abortion, you run the risk of not being able to have children in the future. As you can see from these pictures, this is how the procedure is done…"

She cupped her mouth and her eyes watered. As her eyes scanned the pictures, she knew that this was not what she wanted to do. Nothing was worse than imagining her baby like that.

She closed the pamphlet and started to cry, "I…I…"

The doctor placed a hand on her shoulder, "It's okay, and this is a hard decision to make."

Quinn wished she had brought someone along with her. The pictures were awful and she just needed to be comforted.

"There is always adoption. You can have an open one where you receive pictures of your baby, can potentially have a relationship with them and see them. There is a closed adoption where you give it up and that is that. You can pick the family that receives your baby. You just carry it to term and they will give it up right then and there," he said as he slid her the pamphlet.

She nodded. Maybe, this was the better alternative to abortion.

"I only have a couple more minutes until my next appointment. Here is what I suggest, you go home and talk it over with your boyfriend, figure out the best option, and go from there. This is something that requires a lot of thought."

"Thanks, Doctor Klem," she said.

Quinn walked out of the doctor's office and to her car. At least she could rule out one option. This was going to be hard. Finn was never going to let this happen and Will wouldn't either.

She sighed as she sat in her car. This was ultimately her decision. Her eyes became glued to a mother and her small baby. The mother tossed her baby up in the air. Quinn saw the joy in their eyes and seeing that just made it a little harder for her.

Quinn was amazed that she had made it home. Her mind was everywhere but concentrating on the road. There was a corvette in front of her house.

She pulled into the driveway and parked. Will was sitting on the steps in front of her house. Quinn grabbed her purse and walked over to him.

"What are you doing here?" she asked as she opened her door.

"What am I doing here?" he snapped. "Where the hell were you?"

He followed her into her house. He tugged on her arm and forced her to look at him.

"I needed to explore my options," she whispered as she sat on her bed.

He ran his fingers through his hair, "So, let me get this straight, you went to the hospital to explore your options, and didn't tell me?"

"I didn't think that it was a big deal," she said dryly.

"When you don't answer your phone and I don't know if something happened, it is a big deal," he said. He picked up her phone from the floor and placed it on her nightstand.

Will looked at her and sensed something was bothering her. He sat down next to her. Quinn just looked at him. Her face was blank and she was giving up.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. "I just got scared that something happened."

Quinn nodded, "I should have told you, I'm sorry."

They sat there in silence. Will was trying to figure out how to approach this topic and Quinn was trying to think of what she wanted to do.

"So, you went to explore your options?" he asked as he twiddled his thumbs.

Quinn placed her head in her hands, "Yeah."

"Hey."

He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in. She wrapped her arms around his chest. She felt safe in his arms.

"I can't do it," she mumbled through his chest.

He gently pulled her back just enough to see her face, "You can't do what?"

Quinn rested her head back on his chest. She heard his heartbeat and the warmth of his skin. She didn't want to talk; all she wanted was to be held.

"Quinn…"

"I can't get an abortion. I know that for some people it is the right choice, but I don't think that it is the best one for me."

He exhaled sharply and tightened his grip, "I'm glad that you came to that conclusion."

"I can't give it up because I don't want someone else to raise it," Quinn revealed as she nuzzled her head in his chest.

"Quinn, it's okay if you want to keep it," he said as he placed his head on hers.

Quinn shook her head and pulled back, "No, it's not okay if I keep it. I am going to be kicked out, I'll have to lie to Finn for the rest of my life, my child will never know who their father is, and I'll have to marry Finn…"

She stood up and knelt in front of him, "But, you…you are going to be okay. You will still have your job, your wife, and your career."

Will sighed, "I won't be okay though, Quinn. My wife will never know that I have a child, I won't get to even know that child, and I'll have to live with the fact that some other man is raising my baby."

"What are we going to do?" she asked. Her voice was raspy from crying and her head was pounding.

He looked into her eyes and wiped his cherry nose, "We are gonna keep it and figure out the rest when the time comes."

Quinn nodded, "Sounds good."

"Well," he stood up, "I am going to go home and I will see you tomorrow."

"Wait!" Quinn yelled. She walked over to him and grabbed his arm. "My parents are gone for the weekend, Finn has to go with his mom to some stupid thing, and I just don't want to be alone. Can you just stay here for an hour?"

Will's eyes were bloodshot from all the crying, "Quinn..."

"Please…" she begged.

He nodded. Quinn got under the covers and laid down. Will took off his pants and slid next to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead. She nuzzled her head once more in his chest.

They knew that they shouldn't be doing this, but they both needed it.
