I am really really sorry for not uploading sooner. I got two extra shifts in work and didn't have the time. Anyhoo I hope you enjoy and thank you anyone who reviewed. This was a bitch to write which may also explain the delay.
Episode 7.
Quinn was leaning against Finn so she wouldn't have to look at him or have him feel the need to touch her. Rachel was sitting behind Mercedes and about 4 feet away from her boo. Brittany was asleep with her head resting on Santana's shoulders as Mr Schuester talked to the group.
"...is there any music in particular you guys want to do."
"Can we try something a little more black?" Mercedes asked the glee club director. Kurt chimed. "I agree we do an awful lot of show tunes." Quinn turned from her position quick enough to catch Rachel's reaction. "It's called Glee club not crunk club." Quinn knew Rachel had nothing against "black music" her dad was after all black but she knew that you do not say a bad word about show tunes in front of the brown eyed diva.
"Can we listen to something other than Wicked?" Quinn sighed trying to change the ipod plugged into her car as she and Rachel took a road trip to see a Cavaliers game.
Quinn and Rachel discovered they had a love for basketball. It was their first date out in the open. Before that it was just sneaking into each other's bedrooms or Quinn's car or the bleachers. It always had to be a secret but no-one would know them at the game. They could talk, hold hands or even kiss in public without it being such a big deal.
"Yeah sure. What do you want to listen to: Rent, Next to Normal, Spring Awakening...oohh what about Les Mis?" Rachel said shooting Quinn her brightest 1000 watt smile.
Quinn winced. "Do you have any that aren't show tunes?"
Rachel looked outraged. "Show tunes as you put them are songs that are rich in emotion and tell a story. Some of the greatest love stories are those told through musicals. They are sad and beautiful and showcase the singer's greatest ability. That is why legendary singers start off in musicals on Broadway: Barbara, Idina, Chenoweth, Groff, even Britney Spears was an under-study in Ruthless as an eleven year old. Besides, loads of people love show tunes."
"Loads of gay guys love show tunes." Rachel rolled her eyes. "And what would you have us listen to huh?" Rachel asked Quinn smiled and popped her ipod into the dock.
Rachel heard the sounds of a piano fill the car. "I hear the ticking of the clock, I'm lying here the rooms pitch dark."
Rachel's lips twitched up into a smile. "Alone by Heart..." Quinn smiled back trying to keep her eyes on the road. "Remember I sang this to you the night I confessed my love for you."
Quinn snapped back to reality when Mercedes threatened her Baby.
"Don't make me take you to the carpet."
Mr Schuester immediately stopped Mercedes with a deadpanned "Fantastic, thank you Mercedes, Kurt duly noted. Anything else?"
"I can pop and lock?" Mike said behind Rachel she tried to stop the smile forming on her lips.
"Not really what we're going for Mike but noted...noted yes."
Quinn was heading back to her locker after Glee when Sue called her Santana and Brittany into her office. Quinn was afraid she knew the truth but she didn't. Sue just wanted a glee update and though Quinn hated herself when she gave Sue ammo for her attempts at destroying Glee (Quinn meant attempts because she knew Sue would never actually destroy the club because Rachel would never allow it). However Quinn remained her mole because she knew it was better to be on the inside than the out.
"I want to pit these kids against one another. Am I clear? Quinn update go."
"The minority students don't feel like they're been heard." Santana darted her eyes to the floor.
"The chink of the armour, huh. I am going to create an environment so toxic no one will want to be a part of that club like the time I sold my house to nice young couple and I salted the earth in the back yard so nothing living could grow there for a hundred years and do you know why I did that?" Quinn was going to answer "Because you're evil" but heard her tongue. "Because they tried to get me to pay for their closing costs."
Quinn's first scan was due. She went to Rachel's the night before just like she usually did.
"Finn wants to go with me and I said he could and before I knew it Mr Schue offered to drive us up and back...I'm sorry I know you wanted to go." Quinn sat face to face with Rachel holding her tiny hands in hers. Rachel shook her head and tried to play off her disappointment. "I'm fine as long as my Baby is fine, I'm fine."
"Rachel, I'm not keeping it."
"I was talking about you Babe." Rachel purred. "Oh were you now." Quinn replied as she moved closer to Rachel. Rachel laughed and Quinn caught her fingers on Rachel's skirts belt loop and pulled her into a passionate embrace making Rachel forget about her disappointment.
XxXxXxXxX
The appointment went by okay. Quinn went during her free period with Finn to Dr Chin her OBGYN. She wished she had of changed out of her Cheerio's uniform, she wished even more that Rachel could be one holding her hand not Finn.
"I'm freaking out." She told him honestly
"Everything's going to be fine." He told her
"Relax at your age there is very little chance of anything being wrong." Finn looked happy but Quinn wasn't she was hoping she would miscarry. She knew it was wrong to wish that but she did. "This is going to be a little cool to the touch." The doctor said as she applied gel to the scanning device.
"Can you just be careful with my uniform?" Quinn asked the lady afraid that Sue would slaughter her if she stained it. "Speaking of your ages have you two given any thought into what you are going to do after the baby is born." Quinn was going to ask the woman to keep her noses out of their business but Finn simply answered "Whatever Quinn wants is fine."
"Well if it makes a difference, it's a girl." Quinn saw Finn's reaction and felt bile and disgust rise up in her. She wanted Rachel there not him.
XxXxXxX
Rachel closed her locker and jumped with shock and fear to see that the creepy pervert Jacob was on the other side
"The independent polling company in my dockers has determined you are the hottest girl in this school."
Rachel was disgusted...besides he was wrong Quinn is the hottest especially with her hair down. "Eww"
She tried to escape him but he chased after her. "Have you been reading my blog?"
"Of course not, you're a gossip monger and your blog is nothing but trash and lies many of them about me." She wondered why boys at her school hadn't been wired with the "get the clue" gene because he was like Finn he kept following her.
"Well you'll be happy to know the one I'm working on right now has nothing to do with you or your rumoured lust for Jewfros. It's about Quinn Fabray. Word on the street is she's in trouble."
'How did he find out? If it wasn't bad enough that he posts stuff about me but now he is going to post something about Quinn, my Quinn and the baby, who if Quinn decides to keep is my little girl'
"Where did you hear that?" She asked trying to call his bluff.
"Are you denying it?" She knew she had to. Quinn shouldn't ever feel like an outcast ever.
She walked off trying to ignore him.
"Because the same birdie told me you're angry that Finn Hudson didn't chose you to carry his litter." She knew then that he wouldn't give up and Quinn didn't need anymore heartache. Rachel sighed and walking back to the pervert.
"What is it going to take for you to not the run the story?"
She was surprised when all he asked for was a pair of her panties. That was it she would go to store, buy him a pair and give them to him and problem solved.
Sue decided to split the club up but luckily Quinn and Rachel weren't put into "Sue's kids."
All the minorities were put in her club as Sue put it "Santana, Wheels, Gay kid, Asian, Other Asian, Aretha and Shaft."
Rachel told Finn about Jacob because Finn seen her hand a brown paper bag to the guy and was convinced Rachel was dealing.
"So what did you have to do to make him stop?"
"Lets just say I feel sorry for my dad's because they are probably going to have to dip into my college fund to pay for intensive therapy."
"Woah hardcore."
"I don't mind" She did it too protect Quinn but she lied. "I did it to protect you."
"And Quinn" he said making Rachel worry that he could read her mind. "Of course we are all...team mates."
"I gotta tell you, you really are awesome and I'm gonna make it up to you someday I swear."
Rachel smiled she never had a friend at least not one who wanted to speak with her in public. Her smile vanished the second the pervert stood in front of her.
"I need another pair."
"What is wrong with the ones I already gave you?" He reached into his bag and produced a green pair of silk undies
"The still have a tag on them."
"Put those away" She said sternly.
"I want Rachel Berry panties. Okay I expect delivery by tomorrow morning or the story of Quinn Fabray and the stork goes wide...I feel the urge to kiss you right now. I'm just gonna go for it." Rachel quickly reprimanded him completely disgusted. "No, no, no, you get away, you stop it." He quickly ran off in the other direction. Rachel felt disgusted.
Quinn met Rachel on the way to school the next morning as usual a street away from Rachel's house. Rachel got in the car and checked that no one was around before kissing Quinn. "Don't hate me." Rachel said when she pulled away.
"I could never do that." Quinn told her. Rachel sighed and inhaled deeply. "Okay I am giving that Jacob kid a pair of my panties an old pair, you know those granny ones I wear when I exercise...he was gonna run a story on you being pregnant and I knew you didn't want people to know but I just wanted to clear it with yo..."
Rachel never got to finish because Quinn pulled her in for another passionate embrace.
Quinn had her usual early morning Cheerio practice only that morning there were only two Cheerio's there to stretch with her. Quinn asked Brittany "Where the hell is everyone?"
"Academic suspension...your lipstick is smeared." Brittany said to Quinn pointing to her lips. Quinn blushed and wiped her lips and quickly replied. "Morning sickness" she said flippantly. "Oh, sorry Quinn." Brittany said. "It's okay lets stretch."
Quinn tried to avoid Coach Sylvester for the rest of the day once she found out her Cheerios weren't eligible to go to practice.
Quinn was in the middle of a Spanish test when Finn fake yawned and put a piece of paper on her desk. "What is this?" she asked freaked out that she would be off the honor roll for cheating if Mr Schuester seen what he did.
"Check it out, I came up with the name that would be good for the kid." He said with that moronic smile that made her want to kill him. "Eyes on your own test Finn" Mr Schuester called to him making Finn turn around much to Quinn's relief. But that jock Ronny distracted the Spanish teacher and Finn turned back to a pissed off Quinn.
"Anyway then I read that Qweneth Paltrow named her kid Apple and I think that's so cool cos you know how much I love apples, right, and so I figured we should name our kid something more original and poetic then I came up with the best baby name of all time: Drizzle." Quinn couldn't believe anyone was that stupid except maybe Brittany. "Drizzle?" She asked him in disbelief.
"Yeah, yeah because you know how awesome it is when its just drizzling outside but its not raining but it smells like rain but you don't need an umbrella to go outside."
"Are you a moron?"
"What?"
"We are not naming our baby Drizzle, we are not naming our baby anything...Finish your test Finn." Brittany's hand crept over and grabbed Quinn's test. Quinn quickly grabbed it back. "Give me my test back." Quinn said to the cheerleader. "I just don't understand anything." "Not my problem." Quinn shot back wondering what Rachel was doing and why Finn and Brittany never dated.
After class Finn went to walk with her but she was so furious that she began arguing with him. "You are so insensitive bringing up baby names to me when you know I don't want to keep it. I can't keep it."
"I know but I don't know what you expect me to do about it." Finn answered.
"Not have an opinion."
"Hey this is happening to me too." But it wasn't she wanted to tell him that he wasn't the father and that if she did keep the baby that Rachel would fill in that parental role but she knew she couldn't tell him that the same way she knew Rachel wouldn't be able to become a parent to her child unless they came out and she didn't want her parents to kill her.
"No it's not. You are not the one whose parents will burn her like a witch if they find out."
"You know sometimes I wish you were a little more like Rachel." Quinn stopped in her tracks. "Really?"
"Yeah she cares about my feelings, she sticks up for me. She sticks up for both of us. You know she gave that Jacob kid a pair of her underpants just to keep him from posting on his blog about you being pregnant."
Quinn couldn't help but smile at what her girlfriend had done for her. "You think she done that for me. Just to be a good team mate." 'She did because she loves me.' Quinn thought to herself.
"Yeah that's what she told me." Quinn realised that he had feelings for Rachel, her Rachel. Jealousy built up in her. "I know some guys cheat on their wives or pregnant girlfriends just don't do it with her." The last thing she needed was Rachel leaving her for that frankenteen. So she stormed off hoping he got her message.
That afternoon all of the Glee club got together before rehearsal for an impromptu performance of Nelly's "Ride with Me". Quinn danced with Rachel Matt and Artie. The great thing was they could be close and nobody would be suspicious. The Sue's kids had to leave and Rachel hated what Sue was doing to the club.
"Mr Schue we don't like what this has become." She voiced her opinion to the glee club director.
"See that is how Sue wants you to feel, giving up doesn't help anyone but her. Look if it were up to me we would all perform together at sectionals but it is not up to me, okay. Sue's going to do her song and we are going to do ours. Sue's kids are singing about hate, literally. So I thought we would try a kinder approach. Alright Finn and Rachel up here. You are going to take the leads."
Quinn felt the jealousy build back up. How come she never got to duet with the diva? His voice wasn't even all that great. "I love this song, okay follow my lead." Rachel beamed. "Don't wait for me." Quinn harmonised in the background trying to hide but failing miserably the anger and the envy that was cascading throughout her body.
"After the tenth rehearsal of the same ballad Quinn snapped. "Excuse me what about us? You expect us to just sway back here like props." And sure Sue had told her what to say but she delivered those lines with more anger than she was supposed to. She did as she was told and suggested that Mr Schuester was against minorities even though Rachel is Jewish.
Rachel seen that Quinn was doing Sue's bidding and it angered her that Quinn was ruining her chances at stardom but she decided to discuss it that night with the blonde. If she had time she would make a presentation using PowerPoint but Quinn got to her first with her jealously over Finn.
Rachel was by her locker when Quinn slammed it shut. "Listen here Treasure Trail, we are about to have a smackdown." Rachel knew Quinn was angry that she was spending so much time with Finn. "I don't want a confrontation." Rachel tried to walk away but Quinn pulled her back and turned her around. "Don't play stupid with me Stubbles. I'm having Finn's baby and you need to back off. I'm asking you as nicely as I possibly can. Leave him alone." Rachel knew it was Quinn's way of telling her to back off from Finn.
"You're right. I've helped you not because it's the right thing to do but because I had romantic ulterior motives." Quinn looked shocked that Rachel would say that on school grounds. "But just so we're clear, you are the one who is cheating." Quinn realised she had a point that she was fake dating Finn but she let the pregnancy hormones get the better of her.
"Excuse me." Rachel began walking away. "I have it on good authority that you are Sue Sylvester's mole and you can deny it all you want but I know it's true."
Quinn stood in front of Rachel. "I have no idea what you are talking about." Rachel walked forward. "Sue's not on your side, she is not on anyone's side but her own. Can you imagine what she is going to do when she finds out about you situation she is probably going to rip off that uniform with her bare hands. Everytime you whisper in her ear you empower her to do more damage to the glee club and right now glee club is all you have and if I were you I would recognise who my true friends are and I'd practice a little bit more because you obviously have a lot you need to express." "Oh you have no idea."
Quinn wanted to kiss here right there on the staircase of McKinley High but walked off in an attempt to slow down her heart rate.
The next rehearsal the "Sue's kids" watched the performance by the three remaining students in Mr Schue's group. Rachel had only sang one line when Sue ordered her kids to leave and Quinn and Rachel watched on stage, side by side as the two teachers had a very brutal screaming match.
Sue stepped down as Co-director but not before attending one last meeting.
"You are all minorities because you are in the glee club. There are only 12 of you and all you have is each other. So it doesn't matter that Rachel is Jewish or that Finn is..." "Unable to tell my rights from my lefts." "Exactly or that Santana is Latina or that Quinn..."
"Is pregnant." Sue said shocking the room Rachel quickly looked at the devasted Quinn. "Sorry Q, it will be all over the blogisphere by this afternoon. Now everybody knows...including me."
Rachel ran to find Jacob and slammed is locker but she was more upset that angry. "How could you do that? Do you have any idea how much pain you caused running that story?"
"Sue made me do it. I'm sorry Rachel." He said scared and left her in the hallway.
Rachel turned and seen Quinn crying into Finn's chest. She felt her heart break that should be her. She should be the one holding onto Quinn reassuring her.
That afternoon in the auditorium they sang Avril Lavine's "Keep Holding On" and Rachel sang directly to Quinn.
You're not alone. Together we stand. I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand.
Rachel kept her eyes on Quinn's she could see Quinn crying. She went to take her hand but Finn stood in between them holding each of their hands.
And that's what you MISSED last time on Glee
I know it's crap but I hope you enjoyed.
