AN- And now, for a change of pace: Third Person Narrator!

Rachel looked over her "Glee Club President To-Do List." She had made a lot of headway, and had checked off the following: Create and perform club tribute to Mr. Shue, Research song options for Regionals, Diva pep-talks: Mercedes and Kurt, and Check in with Finn and Puck. She had several still to accomplish, including: Encourage Tina's singing, Encourage Noah's singing, Include Mike and Matt in conversations, and, most important, Check in with Quinn re: living situation.

She dialed Quinn's cell number, but didn't get an answer. She took a deep breath, sighed, and dialed Finn's land line, hoping the boy wouldn't pick up.

"Hello?"

"Mrs. Hudson, hello! This is Rachel Berry."

"Oh, well, Finn's not home right now, Rachel, but if you dial his cell…"

"Actually, Mrs. Hudson, I was hoping to speak to you. Is Quinn still staying with you?"

"Kind of. Her stuff is still here, but she's been spending the night at different friends' houses since just before Sectionals."

"I see," Rachel said. She stopped to think things through, unsure of what to say to Finn's mother. Ever since Babygate blew up in her face, Rachel had tried to be more cautious about how and when she exposed information.

"I'm not going to turn out a single, pregnant girl. On the other hand, I'm worried about Finn, and just seeing her stuff here is hard on him," Mrs. Hudson said.

"I understand," Rachel told her. "I'll take care of it."

"What? I'm not sure that's the best idea."

"I'm just going to make a few calls and present a few options," Rachel said.

"Shouldn't you let an adult handle it?"

"Your first priority needs to be Finn right now. Our school guidance counselor just quit, and Mr. Shue has some family issues he needs to focus on. Most adults would probably put her in foster care, which would not be optimal for Quinn or the baby. If it will make you feel better, I will ask my fathers for their assistance and advice."

There was shocked silence on the other end of the line. Rachel was used to shocking people into silence.

"Thank you, Rachel. Yes, please talk to your dads first."

That night, she sat down to dinner with Dad and Daddy. They already knew the basics of Babygate, but this time she filled them in on everything, beginning to end.

"I propose we take her in," Rachel said.

"Sweetie, you have such a good heart, but are you sure you want to invite the girl who is pregnant by your ex to live with us? Especially when the boy you had a crush on is so angry with them both?"

"Yes, Daddy. Dad, tell him!"

"Rachel, inviting a teenage girl—especially a pregnant teenage girl—to live with us is a huge decision, and we have to examine it carefully. Why do you want her to live here?" Dad asked.

"For one thing, because Finn and Puck both get along with me. Quinn needs support. It will be best for everyone if they can all make up, and there's a better chance of that happening if Quinn is staying someplace neutral. We have a spare room, and we can afford it. Also, I would like to have friends. I think Quinn and I have a lot in common, and if she lived here, we might bond."

"Oh, sweetie," Daddy said, sadly.

"But would it really be the best thing for Quinn?" Dad asked.

"We wouldn't force her to move in," Rachel replied. "We would merely help her examine her options. I think this would be the best place for Quinn for several reasons." She removed a list from the pocket of her skirt. "In addition to those already mentioned: because we weren't friends prior, Quinn wouldn't have to worry that we felt obligated to take her in. I could help her with her vocal training, and she could critique my form in dance. But most importantly, she needs you both. Her parents kicked her out because she couldn't live up to the idea they had of her. She's never had parents who would love her no matter what. I'm sure there are other glee club members whose families might take Quinn in, but I doubt any of them could love her like you could."

Daddy was always a softy, but even Dad got tears in his eyes at that one. And they both knew what it was to be rejected for not living up to someone else's standards.

"Okay," Dad conceded, "We'll give her the option to move in."

"Thank you, Dads!" She whipped out her cell phone.

"Baby, who are you calling?" Dad asked.

"If this is going to happen, I have to tell Finn and Puck," she replied, "and the sooner I get it over with, the better."
