The next day at school as Finn was walking into the cafeteria, he saw Quinn take her lunch tray and sit down at a table in a corner by herself. Finn quickly grabbed some food and went over to the table where she was sitting eating her sandwich. "Hey Quinn, is it alright if I sit here?" he asked nervously.

"Uh, yeah, sure I guess," Quinn said quietly, barely even looking up at him as he sat down across from her.

For the next minute or two neither of them said anything. Finally, Finn broke the silence, "Hey Quinn, can I talk to you?"

"Yeah, but only if you're not going to call me a slut, or a whore or a bitch, or anything along those lines."

"Why would I ever call you any of those things?" Finn asked.

"Because everyone else does, maybe not always to my face, but I hear what people say about me behind my back" Quinn said, unable to stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks thanks to the pregnancy hormones.

Finn leaned over and wiped the tears from her eyes, "Quinn, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"You're sorry? What are you apologizing for?" Quinn asked.

"I'm sorry that I didn't give you a chance to explain everything. I'm sorry that for the last two weeks you've had to walk down the halls and hear people whisper about you and had no one there to stick up for you. I'm sorry I did the one thing I promised you I would never do. I promised you I would always be there for you, no matter what and I broke that promise."

"Finn, you have nothing to be sorry about, I'm the one who-"Quinn said.

"Please, just listen to me for a second," Finn said interrupting her. "Puck talked to me yesterday. He-He told me everything. He told me how he purposefully got you drunk because he knew if he got you drunk enough you'd have sex with him. Believe me, when he told me that , I was furious. I couldn't believe he'd do that to me, that he'd do that to you. But I was also ashamed of myself, ashamed for even thinking that you would ever purposefully and knowingly cheat on me with Puck or any other guy. Puck told me something that made me realize just how much you really love me."

"What?" Quinn asked.

"He said the only reason you lied to me was because you loved me and wanted me to be the father of your baby, not him."

"Finn," Quinn said as the tears continued to run down her cheeks. "I never wanted to hurt you. I wanted her to be yours. I wanted her to be yours so bad that I almost convinced myself that she really was yours. I never thought of her as Puck and I's baby, I always thought of her as our baby."

"Yeah and I know that now. Quinn, I have tried so hard these last two weeks to hate, or to even just be mad at you, but I couldn't. I can't be mad at you because the truth is, I still love you. I have tried so hard not to think of her as my daughter, but I haven't been able to do that either. It doesn't matter that I'm not biologically her father, I will always think of her as my, as our daughter. Quinn, I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you'll let me, I still want to raise our daughter together."

"Finn, are-are you sure? I mean, I want nothing more than that, but I don't want you to feel like this is something you have to do. Are you really sure? I mean you're willing to help me raise a baby that isn't even yours?"

"Quinn, I have never been more sure of anything in my life. Like I said, even though I'm not technically her father, I will always love her and think of her as if she is my daughter. And not only do I love our daughter, but I also love you. I love you so much and these past two weeks I've been miserable without you. I've realized that I don't want to be with anyone else but you. Quinn, I promised you I would always love you and be there for you and our daughter, no matter what, and I'm so sorry I broke that promise. But I promise you, I will never leave you again, I'm not going anywhere."

"Finn, thank you," Quinn said as she smiled her first real smile in two weeks.

" I know you've been staying at Rachel's house and if you still want to stay with her that's fine, but you're welcome to move back in with my Mom and me."

"Thanks, I'll definitely take you up on that offer. Believe me, living with Rachel Berry for two weeks has been…well, interesting to say the least."

"I can only imagine," Finn laughed.

"Finn, are you sure your mom is gonna be okay with this? I mean, not just with me moving back in, but also about you agreeing to raise the baby with me?"

"I don't think that she'll mind at all. You know, when I told her about everything she kept trying to tell me to just talk to you before I decided to walk away from you for good. She said she could tell you really loved me and she knew the only reason you lied to me was because the only person you could see yourself raising a baby with was me. At the time I was pissed at her for sticking up for you, but now I realize she was right and I only wish I would've listened to her sooner."

"So you're mom is gonna be okay with us raising a baby in your house?"

"Yeah, we can probably even use the guest room as the baby's room. It's a little bit bigger than my room, so that way they'll be room for a crib and everything," Finn said as he stood up to grab both of their lunch trays. "I'll be right back, I'm just gonna take these up real quick. Wait right here for me and I'll walk you to class."

"Okay, thanks."

Quinn was standing there waiting for Finn when he got back to their table. "Come on, let's head to class," he said as he took her hand and they started to make their way out of the cafeteria.

"Finn, your mom was right. I really couldn't see myself raising a baby with anyone but you. I can't see myself with any other guy, ever, but you."

"I know and you know what? I can't see myself with any other girl, but you either."

"I really did choose the right guy to raise a baby with."

"Yeah, yeah, you did," Finn said. "Like I said, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere," Finn said as they walked into class hand and hand.

When Finn and Quinn walked into the choir room together for Glee that afternoon, it was as if all of sudden everyone's eyes were on them. Finn could've sworn he saw the slightest smile on Puck's face when he and Quinn walked in together holding hands, everyone else though had blank stares on their faces.

"What's up?" Finn asked trying to act like everything was normal, because everything was finally back to normal, as he and Quinn sat down beside each other. For a few seconds no one said anything, it was just dead silence. Finally, Rachel couldn't take it any longer and asked the question that apparently everyone else was too scared to ask, "Are you guys back together?"

"Yeah, yeah we are," Finn said.

"Rachel, thanks for letting me stay at your house these past couple of weeks, but I'm moving back in with Finn and his mom," Quinn said.

"If it's alright with you, Rachel, I was thinking Quinn and I could just follow you back to your house after practice so Quinn can get her stuff," Finn said.

"Wait, so Finn, are you the baby's daddy again?" Brittany asked with a confused look on her face. Santana just rolled her eyes at Brittany.

"No, but I am going to raise the baby with Quinn because I love her and the baby. I know the baby isn't technically mine, but both of us still consider her to be my daughter," Finn said.

Everyone started saying things like "That's' great!" because it appeared that this was what both Quinn and Finn…and even Puck wanted. Everyone that is except Rachel, who thought Finn was crazy to commit to spending his life with Quinn and raising a child with her that wasn't even his. "Finn, can I speak with you for a second? Alone," Rachel said with an edge in her voice.

"Uh, Rachel, Mr. Schue is gonna be here any second, I mean practice starts in like three minutes," Finn said trying to avoid having to deal with Rachel.

"Finn, this is important," Rachel said trying to keep herself under control.

Finn looked at Quinn not knowing what to say and she just smiled at him, which was her way of saying, "Go ahead and let her to talk you." "Uh, sure fine," Finn said nervously as he stood up and walked over to the other side of the room with Rachel, away from everyone else.

"Are you kidding me?" Rachel said. "Gosh, Finn how can you be so naive?"

"I'm not really sure what that means, but I'm guessing you're asking how I can be willing to get back together with Quinn and raise our daughter with her."

"Finn, don't you get it? She's NOT your daughter! It's Quinn and Noah's baby! Can't you see she's just using you again? She probably just came running back to you because she realized Noah isn't going to be there for her and the baby and she knew you would take her back."

"Okay, first of all, she didn't 'come running back to me,' I came to her. Second, after Puck told me yesterday about what happened between him and Quinn, I realized I was wrong and should of have given her a chance to explain everything instead of just leaving her. Since I realized this, today at lunch I apologized to Quinn for leaving her."

"So what did Puck tell you that all of a sudden made you go from being pissed at Quinn for cheating on you to apologizing to her and saying that you still wanted to be with her and raise her baby with her? It still can't change the fact that she cheated on you by having sex with Noah and then she lied to you about you being the father of her baby!"

"Puck told me about what happened the night he got Quinn pregnant and it gave me a completely different perspective on things."

"What could he possibly have told you that changed everything?" Rachel said in a mocking tone.

"Look, Rachel, if Puck and Quinn want you to know all of the details they'll tell you, but that's not for me to tell. Puck also told me though that Quinn chose me to be the father of her baby, not him, that the only reason she lied about me being the father was because I was the only person she could see herself raising a baby with."

"Or maybe she lied to you because she didn't want you to find out that she cheated on you?"

"Look, Rachel, both Puck and Quinn have always thought of me as the father of the baby, Puck himself even told me that. For two whole weeks I tried so hard to hate Quinn and I couldn't. Not only that, but even though I knew it was Puck's baby and not mine, I still couldn't help but think of her as my daughter. Rachel, because of all the baby-drama I have come to realize just how much I love Quinn and how much she loves me. That's why I'm doing this, because I love her and our daughter and because I love them, I'm keeping my promise to her that I'll always be there for them no matter what. And in the end, don't you think love means more than whether or not I'm the biological father of this baby?"

"Yeah, you're right," Rachel said as she realized just how much Finn really loves Quinn. "Finn, Quinn is really lucky to have you as her boyfriend."

"Uh, thanks," Finn said, not knowing what else to say. "So, you understand why I'm doing this then?"

"Yeah, I can see that you love Quinn and I know that Quinn really loves you. And as much I hate having to accept that this means we won't ever be together, I will."

"Thanks, Rachel." Finn said as he started to walk over to sit down beside Quinn. "Oh, and Rachel," Finn said turning back to her, "Thanks for looking out for the two most important girls in my life, well, other than my Mom, for me these past two weeks."

"Well, that's what friends are for," Rachel said as she went to take her seat as Mr. Schuester walked into the choir room.

Several times throughout practice Finn would look at over Quinn and smile or put his arm around her just to reassure her that he wasn't going anywhere.
