About a week later, Finn walked into his room after just getting home from basketball practice to find Quinn propped up against some pillows on their bed, working on homework. "Hey babe, what's up?"

"Just working on some homework, finishing up this reading for history and then I should be done for the night," Quinn answered, smiling at her boyfriend. "How was practice?"

"Alright, although I'd rather would've been here with you," Finn said, as he walked over to Quinn and kissed her.

"Finn, I love you, but you really need to take a shower. Why didn't shower in the locker room after practice?"

"'Cause I wanted to hurry home to see you. Anyway, I'll go jump in the shower quick, but I'll be right back then."

"Alright, I'll be right here," Quinn said.

When Finn walked back into the room, Quinn was still sitting on their bed and it looked as if she was making some sort of list. "I thought you said you were almost done with your homework for the night?"

"Yeah, I finished it. Now I'm working on putting together a list of all things we need to buy before the baby's born."

"Well, what, we need a crib, some diapers, a few pairs of clothes? I mean, what else does a baby need?"

"She needs a lot more than that. We also need bedding for the crib, a changing table, a high chair, a car seat, a breast pump, because I plan on breastfeeding her at least for the first few months."

"A breast pump, I can't wait to see you use that," Finn said.

"Finn, I'm trying to be serious here."

"Sorry," Finn apologized, he could tell Quinn was getting worried about all the things they needed to buy for their daughter.

"Plus lots of little things like bottles, pacifiers, baby wipes, a diaper bag that we can take with us when we go out places with her, plus at least a few baby toys and stuffed animals for her. And the list goes on and on," Quinn said, starting to get a little worried. "I didn't realize a little baby needed so much, I don't how we're going to be able to afford all of this."

"Hey, hey, don't worry, I'm sure my Mom will help us out," Finn said, trying to comfort Quinn, despite the fact that he was now getting a little worried himself. He never realized raising a baby would be so expensive.

"Finn, we can't expect your mom to help us buy everything. This is our baby, not hers. I mean, she's already agreed to let us live here so we can raise the baby together."

"Well, I'm sure she'll at least help us out with the big things like the crib and stuff," Finn said, trying not to show that he was getting more worried by the second.

"Finn, you're mom is already helping us pay for my doctor's bills and prenatal vitamins and she's bought all my maternity clothes. And speaking of maternity clothes, I need to go buy a few more things this weekend because my clothes are starting to feel tight again."

"Again? I just went to the mall with you on Sunday!" Finn said, already dreading the thought of spending several hours shopping.

"No, I only bought a couple of bras on Sunday, I didn't buy any clothes."

"Yeah, and we spent over an hour looking for bras for you. Besides, don't bras count as clothes?"

"Yeah, technically, but you know what I mean. I need clothes, like pants and shirts and stuff."

"Fine, but you know how much I hate shopping," Finn said, although he acted like he was upset, he didn't mind quite as much he acted like he did.

"Anyway, back to buying things for the baby. What are we going to do? How are we going to be able to afford all of this stuff?" Quinn asked.

"To be honest, I'm not sure right now, but I promise I'll think of something," Finn said, trying to reassure Quinn.

"Finn, I'm not trying to get you all worried," Quinn said, seeing through Finn's façade. "I'm just trying to be realistic."

"Quinn, look, we'll think of something, okay?" Finn said, trying to reassure her again. "Everything's gonna be okay, I promise." Finn only wished he knew what the hell he was going to do.

The next morning, Finn was grabbing his books from his locker in between classes when Kurt walked by. "Hey Finn, how are things going with you and Quinn?"

"Good. Great, actually. Everything is finally back to normal," Finn said trying to reassure himself.

Kurt knew Finn well enough that he could tell he wasn't exactly being honest with him. "Come on, Finn, it's me. I know something's wrong."

"Everything's going great with Quinn and me actually, it's just the baby. Last night, Quinn and I were lying in bed-

"Uh, Finn, I really don't need to know about you and Quinn's sex life," Kurt said, cringing at the thought of Finn and Quinn together in bed.

"Kurt, that's not what I meant, we were in lying in bed talking about all things we need to buy for the baby. I never realized how many things you need for a baby; a crib, a changing table, baby clothes, bottles, diapers and that's just the first few things on the list Quinn and I came up with. I just don't know how we're going to be able to afford all of this. I mean, my Mom's going to help us out as much as she can, but we don't exactly have lots of extra money just sitting around."

"I thought you got a job a couple of months ago to help pay for Quinn's doctor's bills and stuff."

"Yeah, well I kind of quit that job after I found out I wasn't the father of Quinn's baby and I doubt they'll take me back now that they know I'm not really in a wheelchair."

"Have you tried looking for another job?" Kurt asked.

"Not really, I know it's really hard to get a job right now. Besides, between school, basketball, Glee Club, not to mention the fact I'm back to getting up several times in the middle of the night with Quinn because she can't sleep or she wakes up crying because of a bad dream or something, I just don't think I could handle having a job right now."

"Well, I can't really help you out with the money problem, but I do have an idea how you can get a bunch of stuff for your baby that won't cost you anything."

"Um, it doesn't involve stealing does it?" Finn asked nervously.

"No, of course not," Kurt said, slightly offended that Finn would ever think that he would resort to crime. "I was thinking we could throw Quinn a baby shower."

"Okay, the only problem is I know absolutely nothing about planning a baby shower," Finn admitted honestly.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to the girls about it. I'm sure they'll be all over it, especially Mercedes and Rachel."

"I wouldn't count on Rachel wanting to help with Quinn's baby shower, I still don't think she's happy about me raising the baby with Quinn since she knows it means she and I will never be together."

"Then I guess you haven't heard the latest gossip," Kurt said with a smile on his face.

"No, what?"

"Rachel and Puck are back together. That's right, Puckleberry is back together."

"Wait, when did this happen?" Finn asked, glad that Rachel had finally decided to give Puck another chance.

"Like 20 minutes ago, Mercedes just texted me a couple minutes ago, and she heard it from Rachel herself. Apparently Puck asked her out during their math class last period."

"Wait, Puck never goes to his math class."

"Well, apparently he did today. Anyway, I'll talk to the girls about planning a baby shower for Quinn and I'll try to get back to you before Glee this afternoon."

"Thanks, Kurt," Finn said, grateful that his friend was willing to help him and Quinn.

"No problem, anything to help you and Quinn out. Besides, I love planning parties almost as much as I love giving people makeovers. Anyway, I need to get to class, but I'll see you at Glee this afternoon."

"Hey Finn, Quinn, Kurt said as they walked into the choir room that afternoon.

"Hey, Quinn, can you come here for a second?" Rachel called from the other side of the room.

"Uh, sure" Quinn answered, looking at Finn to see if he knew what Rachel could possibly want to talk to her about.

"Why don't you go over and see what she wants, I'll be right there, but I need to talk to Kurt about something first."

"Okay," Quinn said as she walked across the room to talk to Rachel.

"Okay, so here's the deal," Kurt said as soon he knew Quinn was far enough away from them that she wouldn't be able to hear them. "I talked to everyone and we all want to throw a surprise baby shower for Quinn. We were thinking about having it Saturday afternoon at your house, does that work for you?"

"Yeah, that works, but Saturday, as in like two days from now?"

"Yeah, don't worry, we'll take care of getting everything ready for it," Kurt said. "Really, the only thing you have to come up with is a way to get her out of the house on Saturday so we can get everything set up."

"Well, Quinn said she needs to go shopping for more maternity clothes this weekend so that's probably the easiest way to get her out of the house."

"Okay, so while you take her shopping, the rest of us can come over to your house and get everything set up. You don't think your mom will mind that we're throwing Quinn a baby shower at your house will she? She wasn't planning on having on for her was she?"

No, I don't think she'll mind at all and she hasn't anything to me yet about having one. Hey Kurt," Finn said, suddenly getting an idea. "You like shopping, right? So why don't you take her shopping and I'll stay back at my house with everyone else and help get everything set up."

"In other words, you want me to take her shopping so you don't have to?"

"Uh, yeah, it's not that I don't want to take her shopping, it's just that it takes forever. On Sunday we spent over an hour in Victoria Secrets' and she kept asking me all these questions about which bras didn't make her boobs look too big" Finn said, blushing as he realized that he probably said more than Kurt had needed or wanted to know. "Sorry, it's just that I know like absolutely nothing about clothes and I know you're into fashion and everything. You'd probably do a much better job at helping her pick out the best clothes and everything."

"Sure, I'll take her shopping, as long as she's okay with going with me instead of you. I'll probably drag Mercedes along with us too. But I refuse to take her shopping for her bras," Kurt said.

"No, I totally understand, believe me if I could've opted out on that one, I would've. Anyway, thanks Kurt."

"No problem, I actually think it will be fun. Taking Quinn shopping will be like giving her a mini makeover and you know how much I love makeovers," Kurt said. "I mean, taking Quinn shopping and throwing her a baby shower all in the same day that sounds like the perfect Saturday to me."

Finn laughed because only Kurt would consider that to be a perfect day. "Seriously, though, if you wouldn't have come up with the idea to throw her a baby shower I don't know what we would've done."

"Finn, don't worry. I mean, you know that everyone in Glee Club, even Puck, has had you and Quinn's backs from the beginning. We're your friends, which means we're going to help you guys out any way we can."

"Thanks," was all Finn could say as he made across the room to sit down beside Quinn.

GLEEEGLEEEE

As Finn had expected Quinn agreed to go shopping with Kurt and Mercedes on Saturday. That night as he lay bed beside Quinn, he realized how lucky how he and Quinn were to have such great friends. "The saying is true," he thought to himself, "with friends you really can get through anything."
