The girls went into the bathroom. All the tests were face down on the counter.
"You just had to add to the drama!" Quinn joked half heartedly.
She looked at Rachel, who was shaking with fear. "Rachel? Are you ok? We haven't even checked yet."
"Quinn you don't understand if these are positive, I will be dead. My fathers..."
"Rachel they won't blame you!"
"Could you check for me?" Rachel asked timidly.
"Sure. No matter what I'll be here for you." Quinn replied while checking the first test. She gasped inwardly. Then she checked the rest quickly.
"What?" Rachel cried.
"Positive."
"Positive" was all Quinn could get out before the brunette broke down into sobs.
"Shhh Rach, Rach its ok!" Quinn said holding her comfortingly. They sat in the bathroom not talking for a half hour.
Then Quinn happened to glance at her watch. "Shit! Rach I've got to go get Puck at school. Come lay down in my room. I'll be back in a few."
Rachel just nodded. She had stopped crying and had a blank look on her face.
"Be right back." Quinn repeated quietly from the doorway. Rachel made no move to acknowledge her.
Quinn pulled up to the school and saw Puck standing on the sidewalk.
"Sorry I'm late!" she said apologetically.
"Ugh" he grunted "Quinn seriously some stupid girl problem and you forget to pick me up! I mean you had my car! Isn't that a big enough reminder? So what was the emergency anyways?" He said
sarcastically. He wasn't trying to he mean, but come on, a half hour late?
Quinn was silent. "Quinn?" Puck prompted.
"It's bad." she stated, "Really, really bad."
"Like worse than babygate?"
"Yea you could say that."
They sat in silence, Puck fidgeting every few seconds. "Well come on and tell me
already!"
"Puck this is really serious." Quinn said. She pulled the car over to the side of the road so she could face him. Tears were creeping out of the corners of her eyes.
"Quinn?" Puck asked gently. He reached for her hand. They were good friends. After giving up Beth, they had come to realize that's all they would ever be. They visited Beth together, and he tried to be a
good friend to her. "Quinn you gotta tell me."
"Rachel. She was...raped." Quinn said the word as quietly as she could.
"What? I'm gonna kick that guys ass! Who was it? When?"
"Last month at that party. Listen you can't tell anyone. Me and you are the only ones who know."
"Her parents?"
"I don't know. She hasn't told them and from what I gathered, there are reasons..."
"Thats big."
"I'm not done Puck. I found her throwing up in the bathroom today."
"Isn't that normal with...rape?"
"Not three weeks later! Stop interrupting. I brought her home, thats where she is now, and she took some tests. Puck she's pregnant."
Puck sat silently. Wow. Even though Rachel wasn't his favorite person (come on the chick never shut up!) no one deserved this.
"Is she ok?"
"I don't know. She's strong, but she has no support. I'm gonna be there for her. It's the least I can do."
"Me too!" Puck said suddenly. "I'm gonna help her out."
Quinn smiled at him. "Alright we need to get back. She was laying down when I left, but she should really get some food in her!"
"I'll drive." Puck offered when he saw how shaken up Quinn still was from telling him.
"Thanks" she said gratefully.
He pulled onto the road and towards Quinn's place.
Rachel lay in Quinn's bed.
Quinn Fabrays bed. How weird was that?
Her mind was jumping from one subject to the next.
I'm pregnant.
She whispered it out loud.
Lifting her shirt, she looked down at her still flat stomach.
"Hello baby" she whispered.
Her mind was racing.
What am I going to do? I don't know how to be a mother. I don't even have a mother. Just two fathers. Omigosh. I have to tell my fathers.
At this she began to cry silently, fearing for her future, and the future of her child.
