Bonjour mes amis! Sorry for the untimely update. School started about two weeks ago and I've been pressed for time ever since. Now, let's get to what Jesse and Quinn are hiding from Puck and Rachel. Be mentally prepared to be confused and curious for most of this chapter.

Jesse's POV
"Are you sure about this, St. James?"
"I'm very sure about this, Fabray. If I wasn't, how would I know about-
"True. It's funny how you know about that and not Tina or Rachel."
"Funny is one word for it."
"Believe me, if it was up to me, you would know absolutely nothing."
"Well, Puck, or technically Artie, told me that it happened, but I just found out why,and then some."
"And then some?"
"You know what I mean. I'm talking about your-
"Oh, that's right. So, would you mind explaining why we're in this coffee shop?"
"We're here because we need to talk about this and-
"We don't need to talk about this."
"Yes, we do. It's kind of imperative that we discuss it."
"No-
"Quinn."
She crossed her arms and glared at me, leaning back in her chair. I took her silence as an opportunity to continue.
"We're here because we need to talk about this and we obviously can't talk about it around your boyfriend and my girlfriend."
"That I agree with you on. If Puck and Rachel find out, then things are going to be much more complicated than they need to me. My head practically starts spinning every time I think about it, and I can only imagine how this will affect Puck, and especially Rachel."
"And we both know that Rachel needs to be under the least amount of stress possible But you shouldn't be-
"I'll be fine, Jesse
"Don't you think this means that we should be nicer to each other?"
"Possibly, but since we're pretending that nothing's changed, I'm going to treat you the same until Rachel and Puck find out."
"You're planning on them finding out?"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to tell them or anything, but eventually one of them is going to figure it out and tell the other."
"You're probably right."
"As usual. Damn, I was hoping Babygate would be the last scandal of the year. At least this one…"
"Isn't your fault?"
"I guess so."
"You know that this isn't your fault, right?"
"Oh look, a squirrel!"
"Quinn, this isn't your fault."
"It's not your fault."
"That doesn't mean it's yours."
"But if I-
"You didn't do anything wrong."
"I'm changing the subject. So, what do we want to do about… this situation?"
"Oh Quinnie, why does this have to be a bad thing? Now we're-
"Cut the sarcasm, Jamesy."
"You know you can call me-
"I refuse to call you by that term."
"Why do you keep-
"Interrupting you? I'm doing that because sometimes, who am I kidding most of the time, you're sentences are too horrible for me to let you finish them."
"Either that, or you're trying to metaphorically run from what's going on and you're taking your out your emotions on me."
"Uh… no."
"Uh, yes."
"Shut up. So, what are we going to do?"
"The chances of things turning out for them are slim."
"I'm not worried about that- oh, stop raising your eyebrow quizzically! I'm a little worried about things turning out that way, but that's just because I'm paranoid."
"Which is understandable, but really, you don't have to worry about that."
"I'm mainly worried about after. Think about what your... my… what he'll do to you, me, and Rachel now that he's back."
"We'll just have to plan around him and try to be one step ahead."
"Maybe hiding this from Puck and Rachel isn't such a good idea. They'll probably find anyway, and both of them will be mad that we didn't come out and tell them. Besides, things might spiral out of control if we don't. Do you remember what happened the last time I hid something from Puck? I ended up in the hospital, and you have to realize that history repeating itself is a distinct possibility."
"You won't get hurt."
"I guess you're right."
"But I'll have to keep an eye out for you."
"Why? Are you being sexist, Jesse?"
"No, I'm worried because of the minor setback in your recovery that you came across last week."
"It was just a virus."
"But it did prove that your immune system still is a little weak. With all the stess of this-
"I'll be fine. But are you sure we shouldn't tell them?"
"I'm sure. Rachel's hovering around the time when things can go wrong in the early months of pregnancy."
"True. And Puck would go crazy and overprotective if he found out. We also need to work on keeping Puck and Rachel from a certain person."
"That's why I told you to come here. We have to do our best to keep secrets from both parties, cousin."
That's right, cousin. My parents had come back, and as it turns out, the brother my dad has that he's been estranged from is Quinn's father.
Dun, dun, dun. Betcha didn't see that one coming!
