Find Yourself:

Again another rocking episode…. For all you readers who are fans of both fandoms did you get as geeky with Finn singing Jessie's Girl like I did? (I kind of hope I get to see Rick when he comes to Epcot this fall I know I'm a looser) Anyway a part of me so wants to try to incorporate one of those Murder Mystery Dinners that Burt mentioned into this piece LOL… anyway still don't own the fandoms but congrats to all the Daytime Emmy noms GH got! Now here's to Chris Colfer getting a primetime Emmy or Teen Choice nom for his stellar performance as Kurt! PS totally had to add a quote from 1x18 in here.

April 3rd 2010:

They were currently in the process of singing their finale song. They were in it to win it despite the misfortune of having Sue Sylvester of all people as one of the judges...

'Did You' the whole club shouted as Mercedes sang:

Did you try to live on your own?

"When You," they shouted…

When you burned down the house and home?

"Did you"

Did you stand to close to the fire?

Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?

The music began to slow down a bit as Rachel, Kristina and Tina stood at center stage.

When it's time to live and let die (Rachel sang)

And you can't get another try (Kristina sang)

Something inside this heart has died (Tina sang)

You're in Ruins (the trio sang as the entire club stood center stage in unison and sang…)

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky

They basked in the applause as the curtain fell, smiles on their faces, putting on a front that they were in it to win it however this wasn't the case as was made known when they were waiting in a greenroom.

"We nailed it!" Rachel said with a smile on her face.

"Yea," Finn said, "but Coach Sylvester is one of the judges."

"It's a bag job it has to be," Kurt said.

"I never really liked that woman," Quinn said smiling at her friends as she crossed her arm over her bump.

"I mean we don't have to make it to state we just need to place in order to keep Glee together right?" Artie asked.

"Artie," Tina said looking to her friend, "you know Sue Sylvester's main goal in life is destroying this club and now she's got the power."

"Guys," Rachel said, "Positive thinking please!"

Puck gently kissed his girlfriends cheek.

"How's this for positive," he said with a smirk while Rachel candidly turned away. Normally she wouldn't mind Puck's diversions but this was her life on the line her career. She was like Tinkerbell; she'd die without the satisfaction of applause.

"Come on guys," Finn said, "I mean say for some reason Coach Sylvester's plan works and we don't place and we get disbanded as a club… nothing can mess with out friendships right?"

Kurt smiled sweetly to his boyfriend who was playing his roll of glee co-captain to perfection.

"Speak for yourself," Santana said, "hanging out with you losers in glee is one thing but without the club what's the point?"

"I kind of like them!" Brittany said in her singsong tone as Kristina flashed a grin.

"Ok here is a positive, if we get disbanded we can do gigs for cash…I'm talking Finn on drums, Kurt on keys, Artie and Noah on guitar, Rachel and Tina can fight it out for lead singer, Mercedes can by our stylist and I'm sure we could find something for Quinn, Santana, Brit, Mike and Matt to do…and of course I'd be the savvy manager…"

"A band…seriously," Rachel, said.

"I think it's brilliant," Kurt said clapping his hands together as they began to babble about this idea for a few moments before the door began to open.

Looking up they expected to see some kind of official telling them to get out cause the results were about to be announced however instead was a well dressed man causing Rachel to smile.

"An agent," she thought to herself breaking herself away from the group.

Holding out her hand she smiled at the man.

"I'm Rachel Berry but I'm sure you knew that…."

He took Rachel's hand, keeping a composed demeanor as his eyes drifted to a grinning Kristina.

"So Nikolas were we worth your investment?" Kristina asked her causing Rachel to roll her eyes as she watched the man silently nod.

"Y-you know him," Rachel stammered as she crossed her arms in a jealous fashion. How dare Kristina have representation and she didn't.

"Guys this is my cousin Nikolas Cassadine, Nikolas these are the guys."

"The guys," Kurt said standing up approaching the man holding out his hand, "I'm Kurt Hummel and it's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance."

Nikolas smiled at the young man who was practically family to him at this point.

"Pleasure to finally meet you too, my aunt Alexis has mentioned you a few times."

"Good things I hope," Kurt said with a grin as Rachel being Rachel interjected.

"What did you mean when you asked him if we were worth his investment if I may be so bold."

Giving Rachel a look that said she had every right to ask Kristina went on to say about how since the booster club and student government and everyone else showed no interest in funding the club she asked her cousin to help out.

"And I checked the rule book…a benefactor like Nikolas is not against the rules."

They smiled and talked to the older man a bit before it was actually time to go back on stage to hear deliberations.

The story was this. Out of all the clubs performing at Regionals five teams would 'place' and the first place team would make it to state.

"Ok so honorable mentions go to…."

They listened and upon not hearing New Directions being called they thought two things. One being that maybe they did have a shot at this after all while the more negative second being that Sue won and it sucked.

"Third place…"

Not them again and Vocal Adrenaline still hadn't been called.

Not a good sign at all.

"Second Place…"

They all sat with there fingers crossed. If it wasn't them or Vocal Adrenaline they were seriously screwed…

"McKinley High, 'New Directions."

Looking at one another the screamed and hugged and did all the cliché things that someone winning an accolade like they just did would do, and the best part was that this time Mr. Schuster was there to bask in all the revelry of their victory.

They were all gathered around the living room of the Hudson home later that evening. Finn's mom went off to work night shift after the competition and gave them the green light to have a small get together and by small it was small just the thirteen student members of Glee along with Ethan.

"So, what happens now?" Finn asked, "I mean we didn't make it to state so is that it till next year."

"Of course not Finn, I'm sure we'll do another invitational or two preparing us for total domination next year."

Finn just nodded.

"What about short term?" Tina asked from where she sat by Ethan's side, "I mean it is Spring Break."

"Well," Kurt said, "Moll and I have a hot date at Ikea trying to drudge up the perfect minimalist look for her new room."

"I open up my pool cleaning service for the summer, that is unless…"

"I'm having my baby," Quinn interjected.

"I know, your due date is coming up," he replied.

"No, I'm having my baby," she said with conviction as she held the side of her stomach.

Though it didn't look like the blonde's water had broken it did look like she was keeling over with a contraction as orders were sputtered out and the gang geared up for the little girls arrival.

Is Quinn really in labor or is it a false alarm. I'm not a medical expert so just letting you know I am taking creative liberties with Quinn's SL here. Thanks for reading and I hope you still like this. Anyways sorry the update was unacceptably short.... trying to get the muse on track
