Weeks went by and soon the new semester fell upon the McKinley High class of 2012. It was their third year of college already and they wondered where the time had gone as in a blink of an eye it would be time to don a cap and gown once more and take their first steps into the real world. For Kristina this time was extra stressful as she'd been juggling her load of her pre law class work with keeping a secret boyfriend and planning a wedding on top of that. Sometimes she wished that there were more then twenty-four hours in the day, well most days and most days she wished she could be out in the open about Artie however considering this time last year she'd still been in a funk cause she was beginning to think she'd lost him forever she could live with her current situation.

Speaking of Artie, as she was crossing her apartment after a particularly long day of running around she felt the buzzing of her cell phone from her pocket.

-Don't Forget to Breathe-A

A smile crossed her lips as she sucked in a deep breath.

"I promise I won't," she spoke in the air to no one in particular, well at least she'd thought she was speaking to no one up until she'd heard a voice ring from behind her.

"Who are you talking to?" Quinn asked causing Kristina to jump.

"No one, just myself."

Quinn just nodded taking a seat on her couch flipping open the paperback novel that she was reading for a literature class however that wasn't what the blonde's attention was being turned to.

"So, I hear your heading to Providence this weekend?"

Kristina nodded.

"Tina and I are planning on looking at dresses for the ball."

"I still can't believe it, you and Kurt throwing and actual ball at an actual castle next month, it's like something out of a Disney Movie."

"Want me to call Blaine and have him sing you a Disney song over the phone."

"It's cute that he does that at will… sing Disney songs."

Kristina nodded.

"It's a shame things didn't work out between you two, you were so cute."

Kristina shrugged.

"I guess I just wasn't his type," she spoke with a smirk as Quinn just nodded knowing exactly what her roommate meant as she watched the brunette pick up her overnight bag and head outside toward her car.

After a long driver Kristina finally arrived at Tina, Mercedes' and Mike's apartment in Road Island where she was instantly greeted by Tina who'd been holding a handful of fabric swatches.

"I can't believe I'm turning into one of those girls," Tina said with a smile.

"Those Girls?" Kristina questioned.

"Yea, one of those girls that is highly into fashion, no offence to present company."

Kristina let out a small laugh.

"None taken."

Holding out one of the swatches that was a deep crimson shade she smiled.

"I was thinking perhaps asking Mercedes if she would consider this color for the bridesmaid gowns I mean this would flatter Rachel, Quinn and myself right?"

Kristina nodded. The color definitely would look lovely on the three of them as that was the color of their Regionals outfits senior year, however she knew for a fact that there wasn't going to be a wedding, well at least the kind of wedding that Tina thought there was going to be.

"Or should I try and look for a dress for the ball you and Kurt are throwing in that color?"

Before Kristina had been able to answer her friend Tina went on.

"I still can't believe the two of you are throwing this masquerade ball out of nowhere at your cousin's castle."

"I wouldn't say that our party is being thrown out of nowhere," Kristina said with a smile as she knew that in seconds she'd be telling both the bride and the grooms roommate all about the secret wedding that she and Kurt were throwing for their friends.

"What do you mean?" Tina asked.

"Well," Kristina said as she took a seat on the couch, "Can you keep a secret from your roommates?"

"It depends on the secret…. Why?"

Biting her lip Kristina assessed Tina's answer wondering if she should take the risk in telling her. Pausing for a moment she weighed the pros and cons of things in her mind before finally deciding to break the sudden silence.

"The ball IS the wedding, Kurt and I are planning to spring it as a surprise to Mercedes and Mike."

"Wow."

"I know."

"I'll definitely keep it a secret by the way…. Anyway does this mean that I need to coordinate with Rachel and Quinn for what my ball gown looks like or does it mean we can all dress as we want and god I'm talking about fashion yet again."

"It's perfectly alright to talk about fashion, I mean you ARE a design major and fashion is it's own brand of design."

Tina simply nodded.

"Your so right," she said to Kristina as they began to swap their gaze from Tina's swatches to the website of a bridal/dress shop looking for the perfect gown to suite the occasion.

At this same moment back in Lima, a very pregnant Alexis and Dianne were seated in the Hummel living room.

"I can't believe this is your fourth time doing this," Dianne said, "How the heck did you do it?"

Alexis shook her head.

"Honestly sometimes I don't know, but hey at least this time I'm having a son so that shakes things up."

Dianne shook her head at the way that even being almost nine months pregnant her friend still carried her unique brand of humor.

"Speaking of sons, when is Noah getting back here with that ice cream?" Diane asked suddenly contorting her face in pain.

"I don't know," Alexis said, "especially since it's still too early for peppermint stick to be in stalk at the regular grocery store."

It was then that the older of the two women noticed the look in her friends face.

"Dianne, what's wrong."

"I…. I…." her eyes shifted to the small puddle that began to form on the ground, "yep…. My water broke."

Alexis sucked in a deep breath as she cleared her head.

"Ok….we're is Max?"

"He and Finn are at our place building or attempting at least to be building baby furniture."

Alexis nodded as she picked up the phone to call the father to be who rushed over to the house to whisk his wife off to the hospital.

As Max was doing this, Finn and Alexis were left to make all the necessary phone calls.

"Pink is definitely your color," Tina said as she looked at a dress on the screen.

"Yes, but Watermelon Pink? That would make me look like Ballroom Barbie."

"If you were Quinn it would," Tina said, "but I do you're your point."

"I do love the cut though," Kristina spoke as the simultaneous sounds of Kristina's cell phone and the apartment's landline began to ring.

"I should get…" both girls began to say as Tina walked over to the phone and Kristina flipped open her cell to see that it was her mother that was calling.

"Hey mom, what's wrong…."

As both girls got off the phone they found out that they had both received the same message leading Tina to toss items into an overnight bag while Kristina made some calls and finally was able to get Nik to send them a private plane.

As soon as the girls arrived in Lima they made their way to the very same maternity ward where roughly four and a half years ago they all sat as Quinn brought Dani into the world.

"Mom," Kristina said looking toward Alexis as Tina instantly spotted Finn, running into her boyfriends waiting arms, "how is she."

"Max is in there right now, it shouldn't be long."

A scream could be heard in the distance followed by a faint crying noise.

"I guess we made it just in time," she said with a smile.

Her mother nodded.

"So, who else is here?"

"Here in the hospital or here in town?"

"Both I guess."

"Well, Puck and your sisters are back at the house with Dani and Rachel, Milo, Finn, and now obviously Tina are in the waiting area."

Kristina nodded as she caught a familiar brush of blonde hair walking no running into the room.

"Quinn's here too," Kristina said as the blonde came into full view.

"It's so weird being on the other side of that door," she said with a smile causing Kristina to roll her eyes and Alexis to look toward her daughter.

"I'm going to see if I can visit the new mother yet."

Kristina nodded watching her mother leave before turning toward her friend.

"How did you?"

"Finn called me, I don't know why I mean I'm not family or anything."

"Well I'm glad you're here."

"So, how was dress shopping with Tina if you even had a chance to do any of it seeing as how you must of just got there which makes me ask….how did you get to Lima so fast?"

"Nik sent one of his plains to Providence…what about you?"

"Michael had Jax send me a plane."

The two let out a laugh as they chatted, wondering if Milo and Rachel made it to town courtesy of one of Sonny's planes or if they had already been in Lima when Dianne was giving birth.

Their conversation didn't last long as they made their way into the waiting room and a few seconds later were met by the new dad who told them that indeed Dianne had decided to name their daughter the Sex and the City inspired name of Charlotte, Charlotte Michele Giambetti to be exact.

He brimmed with pride as he let his gaze shift over toward where Tina and Finn were sitting.

"Finn can I ask you something?"

"You want me to go back and finish working on the nursery right? If so can Tina come too because she had a talent for that stuff, well maybe not building cribs but she could paint a mural for Charlotte or whatever."

"Actually I wouldn't mind you going back to my place to work on the room later but that wasn't what I wanted to ask you."

"It wasn't?" Finn spoke as he began to scratch his head.

Max smiled.

"Dianne and I talked it over and we were wondering if you'd like to be Charlie's godfather."

"Cool, I've never been a godfather before, well Puck says I'm Dani's honorary one since Artie seemed to drop off the face of the universe and all…"

Kristina bit her lip at Finn's remark while the taller boy kept rambling ending his string of words with, "does this mean I can go see her now?"

"In time," Max said, "Actually I was hoping that her uncle Milo could see her first."

Smiling, Milo gently kissed Rachel's cheek before standing up and heading with his brother back toward the hospital room where mother, daughter and her godmother Alexis now sat.

"I've got to go pee," Kristina said bluntly and kind of out of character causing Finn to roll his eyes at the thought of sitting alone in the waiting room with two of his ex girlfriends along with his current one.

'Not awkward at all,' he thought to himself momentarily before he once more began to think happy thoughts about the little girl that he so totally was about to spoil.

As all this was going on, Kristina's phone vibrated as she was receiving a text however Kristina was still in the bathroom and it was Quinn who picked up the cell as it was sitting on an empty plastic chair nearest to the blonde.

Like one of her favorite Disney characters Quinn was utterly curious and clicked to read her friend and roommates text.

EGO requiro vos

'Thank god for my linguistics class I took last semester,' she thought to herself as she translated the text in her mind. The language…. Latin… the words translating as 'I Miss You'. There was only one person that Quinn could think of that would be sending Kristina texts in Latin but it couldn't be…. Could it?

As Quinn spotted her roommate walking back into the waiting area she smiled at her.

"Kris, can we talk outside for a moment."

"Sure," she said with a smile excusing herself once more as she headed outside with Quinn.

Once the duo made their way outside the blonde glared at Kristina with icy eyes.

"How long Kristina."

"Excuse me."

"How long have you and Artie been in contact with one another again."

"What makes you think I'm in contact with Artie?" Kristina asked playing dumb seeing as how she knew that Puck, Kurt, Molly, and Blaine knew about her reconnection with her ex and any one of them could easily of told Quinn.

"Unless there is someone else texting that they miss you in Latin."

"A part of Kristina wanted to ask how Quinn had seen her texts however a greater part of her just wanted to remove the weight of this secret off her shoulder, after all it wasn't as if she HAD to tell Quinn Artie was walking, that could still be saved for the ball.

"Since Rachel's triumphant performance in Taming of the Shrew last June."

"And you never told anyone."

"I've told a few people it's just the two of us want to keep a low profile for a while, see if we still clicked and all that."

"Well, it's been about three months, are you clicking."

"Yes, and we'll be coming out in the open at the ball."

"Cool beans," Quinn said with a smile however from the look of her face Kristina could tell she was hiding something.

"Something tells me I'm not the only one keeping a secret."

Biting her lip Quinn nodded.

"I have a feeling that you'll want to move into Blaine's apartment when you hear this."

"Sounds serious."

Quinn nodded.

"What if I told you Mike and Mercedes have been beaten to the alter by someone else in glee."

"Oh my god you're pregnant again aren't you Quinn."

Flashing her friend a shocked expression at this response the blonde shook her head.

"Why would you say that? Am I getting fat?"

"No, your not getting fat, it's just I thought you were going to tell me that you married Michael or something."

"Or something."

"I'm all ears."

Quinn nodded.

"Remember a few weeks back, that weekend when Michael and I went out of town."

Kristina nodded thinking of the weekend that Blaine came over to tell her about Molly's flirtations, the weekend that she and Artie came up with the idea for the masked ball….

"Well Michael and I were in Vegas acting as witnesses for Sam and Puck."

"Oh my god, Sam's pregnant… wait can she even carry a baby to term I mean there are advances in moderm medicine but still…."

"No one's pregnant," Quinn, said, "well besides your mom, I just wanted to tell you that you have a new brother…. Just don't shoot the messenger OK."

Kristina nodded.

"Promise," she replied as she headed back into the hospital with Quinn mentally planning out what to say to Puck when she saw him later that day.

TBC

So in the midst of writing this piece I've been in yet another funk besides what was listed above thanks to Brian Frons…. On a positive note however Tina's not only getting a solo in 2x17 but she's allegedly getting one in 2x19 as well… now if only my computer can be fixed so I can have those songs on my IPOD when they come out!. Anyways next chapter should I skip to the ball or make one more filler chapter? And if I make a filler chapter should I show the Krissy/Puck confrontation?
