Ok again just want to state I'm no doctor… also wanted to pimp my new One Life To Live/Glee piece 'New Perspective' which isn't nearly as epic and multi faceted as this one but I still hope is a fun read… don't own either fandom yet sadly…
April 4th 2010-
Minutes turned into hours as they all sat vigil in the hospital waiting for Quinn's baby to arrive. Well not everyone as the twelve teens plus Molly, Morgan, Ethan and all the adults involved in their lives would of made quite a ruckus. As such it was dad to be Puck along with Kristina, Sam, and Kurt, and Finn sat at the hospital while everyone else was at the Davis-Hummel house waiting to celebrate. When the doctor stepped out of Quinn's room suddenly his face scared everyone to death.
"Did she have the baby?" Puck asked.
The older man shook his head.
"I'm sorry."
A tear ran down Sam's cheek… this wasn't happening this just wasn't happening not now that she was so close to being a mom.
Feeling Kurt's soft hands squeeze hers gave her a tinge of comfort in the moment however.
"No, Finn said in a whisper." He already lost this girl one time and he didn't want to loose her again, "not Drizzle."
Kristina and Sam's eyes fell upon him as he referred to the girl by the name he wanted to call her when he had been her father.
It was then they watched the doctor chuckle and they wondered if he was crazy. Death wasn't a laughing matter especially the death of a child.
"The baby is fine," the doctor said, "it's just that… how can I put this… Miss Fabray isn't in labor."
"But she…"
The doctor explained to them all about false labors and said that it was probably brought on by the fact that she was celebrating too hard after they placed in Regionals. He had smiled telling them how he saw the competition on public access television and that New Directions was clearly robbed making the teens blush a bit.
"Can we see her?" Sam asked.
"I don't see why not, just one at a time and try not to stress her out."
They nodded as Sam stood up and entered the room leading the teens to be alone for a while.
"I should call your mom," Puck said looking over to where Kristina stood.
She nodded and looked over to Finn and Kurt.
"And then there were three," she said with a smile as Kurt's gaze shifted from Kristina to Finn then back to Kristina, a devilish grin on his lips.
"I just had a killer idea for a joint victory/housewarming extravaganza…"

As Kurt was going on the Kristina and Finn all about his beyond brilliant idea Sam say by the young blonde's bedside.
"I was so scared Sam," Quinn said as she held the brunettes hand, "I thought the baby would be sick or worse dead."
Sam nodded as she watched the teary blonde.
"Everything is going to be alright Quinn," Sam said as she squeezed her hand, "you and this little miracle have so many people who love you."
Quinn cracked a smile as she thought that despite her parents disowning her she and her… or rather Sam's little girl had a lot of love coming to them.
"We do don't we?" Quinn said pausing for a bit, "I mean her family tree alone is as eclectic as can be."
"Ok," Sam said, "so let's list who is who shall we….I'll be mommy, Noah is daddy, you'll be…"
Quinn shrugged.
She had went from not wanting to be a part of her child's life to wanting some semblance of a relationship and really never thought of a label.
"I don't know…cool aunt Quinn. And speaking of Aunt's and Uncles I mean between Kristina, Molly and Kurt…"
"Kurt," Sam said before smiling thinking of her mother and Burt… yea Kurt would be pretty much the uncle of her child even if it were an honorary one at first.
Letting out a smile the two girls let all worries fade away as they talked.

"So…all Morgan cared about was if we were still going to the Yankees/Indians game tomorrow," Puck said taking a seat back in the lobby.
Kristina let out a small laugh… Morgan would say that.
"So, Sam still in there?"
They nodded.
"Well then what's the topic of the moment… no scratch that if it was some girly shit like what color swatch would look best in Kurt's new room I don't want to know."
Looking to the swatch in his hand Kurt rolled his eyes.
"The shade's called Luscious Lavender and it's for Molly's room not mine thank you very much."
"Your room, Molly's room it's all relative so to speak."
"That was deep man," Finn said.
Draping one arm around Kristina and the other round Kurt, Puck grinned.
"What can I say I'm surrounded by geniuses."
It was in that moment that Sam exited the hospital room prompting Puck to stand up and embrace the brunette and in that instant both of them knew everything would be all right.

The following day Quinn was still in the hospital for some observations which weren't that serious while Mr. Schuster and Ms. Pillsbury along with Sam sat with her. Puck and Finn took Morgan and Ethan to Cleveland for the ballgame and Kurt and Molly went to the hard where store to pick up the paint they would need to decorate the two bedrooms. Going along on this trip were Kristina, Mercedes and Tina.
"So," Mercedes, "what color have you chosen Kurt."
For someone who was usually sure of things the young man just shrugged.
"I don't know, I mean I've settled on a family of colors it's just a matter of finding the perfect shade."
Tina cracked a half smile.
"Maybe I can be of assistance, so what family are you looking for exactly."
"Something cool… perhaps a subtle shade of green… not that hideously drab army green or the equally hideous and retro-tactic neon green."
"But green," Tina repeated.
"Green…or maybe a soothing blue."
Molly picked up a can of the lavender paint and smiled while Kristina and Mercedes rolled their eyes.
Tina shuffled through the rack of swatches and pulled out a light colored swatch and flashed it to Kurt with a smile on her face.
She began to get all rambly by telling him the color's name was Celadon and the origin of the color which apparently was most commonly used in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese art.
Kristina almost wondered if the reason she knew all this was because she was Asian or if her being kind of an art enthusiast made her as knowledgeable about the origin of colors as Molly was about Greek Mythology and British Literature. She made a mental note to ask later as they headed to the check out.

A few hours later they were in the now empty study that was soon to be Molly's new room working on their project when Mercedes stopped mid brush stroke.
"Mercedes," Kurt said, a ring of panic in his voice, "what's wrong?"
"Do I look like something's wrong? Cause nothing's wrong."
"I think Kurt was concerned because you stopped abruptly," Kristina said.
"Kurt can speak for himself," he said flicking paint in her direction.
"Please no paint fights," Molly said, "I don't want my walls all splotchy."
Kristina and Kurt flicked paint on the youngest girl while laughing.
"All I was going to say is that we could use some music," Mercedes said, "I didn't think the Davis-Hummel sibling paint war would commence because of it."
Three brushed flicked into Mercedes' direction as Tina slipped out have the room and came back moments later with Kristina's stereo.
"I hope you don't mind."
Kristina shook her head as Kurt headed over to flip it on making blind threats that if it was anything lame she'd be sorry.
Music began to fill the small room moments later and a smile crossed the honorary girls lips. He obviously approved the song as he watched Molly begin to lip sync to the music.
I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The four members of Glee that were in the room smiling to one another. The youngest Davis had a good idea but why lip sync when clearly they had the talent as Mercedes began to sing into her paintbrush.
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
The others soon began to harmonize with the chorus as they began to sing and dance around the room.
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have--
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls-- they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Tina motioned to herself as if to silently ask permission to take the next solo to which the others instantly granted her.
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
Joining in again the others finished singing the song.
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls--they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...
When that number finished a ring of laughter went round the room.
"So is this what being a part of the second best show choir in the region feels like," Molly said with a smile.
"We would have been first if it weren't for the wrath of Sylvester," Mercedes grumbled while the others nodded.
"I can't wait till I'm in High School…hmm do you think the Jr. High has a club… cause if they do I'd love to join."
"And if they don't I bet Rachel will help you convince your principle next year to create one," Kristina said with a smile as they flipped on another song and began to dance around some more.
