A/N: So, it's been awhile, but I do have another chapter for you lovely readers. I know a lot of you are upset about the last chapter, but I have plans so don't worry too much.
Ch. 31: Finding Out
After last night's emotional breakdown, Lucy told her sister that she had not taken a pregnancy test, so Beth woke up early and headed to the convenient store to pick up a pregnancy test. Her heart was breaking and her anger towards Jason was just increasing.
Beth quietly entered the house and jumped out of her skin after hearing Rachel's voice.
"Where did you get off to so early?"
Beth held the white bag tightly in her hands. Rachel yawned and scratched her head. It was still pretty early, only a little after seven in the morning.
"I just went for a walk," Beth said quickly before running up the stairs. Rachel looks up the stairs in confusion. She shakes her head and heads back to the kitchen.

Beth entered her sister's bedroom with a slight smile. She hands over the test and hears Lucy sigh.
"I don't think I want to know," Lucy whispers.
Beth knelt down in front of her sister.
"You have to know. This is important. If it's positive, you have to tell our moms."
"Do you think mom felt like this?" Lucy asks softly.
"I'm not sure, but you have me with you in this moment. I don't think mom had anybody."
Beth stood up and Lucy walked into the bathroom to take the test. Beth sat on Lucy's bed with a sigh. She was hoping that the test would read negative. Being a product of teenage pregnancy, Beth had her own thoughts of what Lucy should do if the test were to be positive. She wasn't going to voice them now.
Lucy walks out of the bathroom and sits down next to Beth. So many thoughts were running through her head. She was only 15. She knew she wasn't ready for this, but she also knows that if she was pregnant, she had her options. The problem was she knew that being adopted isn't always the case and foster homes aren't always safe.
"I'm really scared Beth," Lucy says as tears start to fall. "I don't know what to do."
Beth wrapped her arms around her sister and kisses the top of her head.
"We continue to wait and read the result. Afterwards, you need to speak with Jason about the results and then talk to our moms so that everything can be confirmed. Either way I think that you need to speak with our parents. It's something they should know."

Amanda walks into her kitchen and spots both of her mothers sitting at the table and talking quietly to each other.
"I figured you both would be long gone by now," Amanda mentions as she takes a seat across from her mom.
"I decided to take the day off," Santana says with a grin. "Your mom and I have some things to get done before getting drinks with Puck, Rachel, and Quinn tonight."
Amanda nods her head and yawns.
"That's cool," Amanda states with a smile before letting the smile fall and looking down at the table.
Brittany moves her eyes from her daughter to her wife, silently asking if she knew what was wrong. She moved her eyes back to Amanda's.
"Mandy, what's wrong? Are you upset about the competition?"
Amanda looks up from the table and shakes her head.
"No, Lucy was going through some stuff last night and Beth and I were just trying to help the best we could, but I don't think there is anything that we could do."
Santana takes a sip of her coffee before placing it back on the table.
"Is everything okay? Is there anything we can do to help?"
Amanda shrugs her shoulders.
"I'm not sure, but I'll find out later. I just hope everything will be alright. I'm just scared for her."
Brittany grabs onto her daughter's hand.
"Just be there for her, no matter what is going on. Be the person that Lucy can count on, okay?"
Amanda smiles and nods her head. She faces her Mamí and smiles.
"So, what are you cooking for breakfast?"
Santana rolls her eyes and stands up from the table.
"I'm only cooking if you help me."
Amanda grins and stands up from the table.

After finding out the result of her test, Lucy knew she needed to speak with Jason about it. She was worried because she knew that Jason was an ass. She knew she wasn't going to like what Jason had to say, but he needed to know.
Lucy spots Jason sitting on the bleachers staring out at the baseball diamond. She takes a breath and sits down next to him.
"So, I'm here. If you want to talk about getting together again I am going to have to turn you down."
Lucy rolls her eyes.
"I can't believe I slept with you. Everyone was right about you. You are just a dick who only wanted sex."
Jason shrugs her shoulders.
"You're nice and everything, but honestly you are too young for me and I am too hot for you. Was sex what I wanted from you? Yes. Did I finally get it? Yes. Do I want it again from you? No. Just tell me why I am here."
"I'm pregnant," Lucy says. "But I'll be going to the doctor to make sure it's all true."
Jason stands up from the bleachers and faces Lucy.
"That's not possible. You're on the pill."
Lucy glares at Jason.
"Protection is a two way street, dumb ass. Ever heard of a condom?"
Jason shakes his head and rubs the back of his neck. This situation was not good. He wasn't ready to be a father. He doesn't even like kids all that much. There was also no way in hell he was going to be connected to Lucy Fabray his entire life. Not a chance in hell.
"Get rid of it. I'll cover the cost, whatever. Just get rid of it."
Lucy stands up from her spot and glares harshly at Jason.
"I can't do that. If my mom would have aborted her baby then Beth wouldn't have been born. I can't do that when my mom couldn't."
"Who gives a shit about your mother? In all honesty she probably should have aborted, Beth's a freak," Jason says with a laugh.
Lucy shoves Jason into the fence and points a finger in his face.
"Do NOT say that about her! It's not your choice. It's mine!" Lucy yells before storming off.
"Get rid of it Lucy. I mean it!"
Jason takes a seat back on the bench and drops his head.
"Shit."

"I'm starting to get a little nervous," Quinn states as she sits down next to her wife. A few minutes ago, Lucy had said she needed to speak with both of them and it was really important. All sorts of thoughts were in Quinn's head, but she didn't want to voice any of them in case she was wrong.
Rachel reaches for her wife's hand.
"I'm sure it's nothing," Rachel tries to reassure.
"Just keep holding my hand, please?" Quinn asks as she looks eyes with her wife.
"I won't let go," Rachel reassures before placing her lips against her wife's.
Lucy walks into the room with Beth walking beside her. Beth takes a seat in the nearest chair while Lucy stands in front of her parents.
"I screwed up," Lucy whispers before tears start to form in her eyes. "I screwed up really bad. I just forget and I screwed up."
"What's the matter, baby?" Quinn asks softly, her heart breaking at the sight of her daughter's tears.
Lucy looks at Beth and Beth nods her head. Lucy looks at the floor and mumbles her answer.
"I'm pregnant."
Rachel's eyes widen and Quinn freezes at the words. Quinn let's go of her wife's hand when Lucy starts balling her eyes out. Quinn stands up from her spot on the couch and slowly approaches her daughter.
"I'm sorry mommy," Lucy repeats over and over.
Quinn wraps her arms around her daughter and holds tightly. A huge part of her just wants to yell, but never has she seen Lucy crying her eyes out, not even as a baby.
"Sshh, its okay," Quinn places kisses on her daughter's head. "It's okay….we'll figure it out."
Beth moves her spot and sits down next to Rachel who has tears streaming down her face. Beth grabs onto Rachel's hand and squeezes letting her know she was there.
Rachel was grateful.

Later that night, Quinn and Rachel were too exhausted to sleep, but knew that they needed to have a conversation. They were currently sitting on their bed resting against the headboard.
"I didn't want this for her," Quinn states. "I'm not going to be like my parents, but I so didn't want this for her."
"Our daughter is pregnant," Rachel states while staring at the wall in front of her. "I don't know what I am supposed to feel."
"I made an appointment for the doctor just to make sure. I'm hoping to god that the doctors say that she isn't pregnant. She's 15. She was younger than I was when I was pregnant with Beth."
"Not by much," Rachel mumbles.
Quinn nudges her wife in the side.
"Still, the doctor will have the final result and until then I do not want to talk about it anymore. I just I don't want to start talking about options until we have absolute confirmation."
Rachel lays her head down.
"I agree. We have to be there for her if she is Quinn."
Quinn cuddles closer to her wife.
"I know and we will, but we're too young to be grandparents and she's too young to be a mother. I'm scared for her. She's not ready for this."
Rachel wraps her arms around her wife and holds tight. Sleep wasn't going to come easy. It may not even come at all.

"You knew?" Santana asks her daughter before walking into Amanda's room. Amanda was sitting on the bed browsing a magazine.
Amanda closes the magazine and places it on the floor.
"Yeah, I did. I guess drinks were cancelled."
Santana nods her head.
"I just want to say that I am proud of you."
Amanda looks up at her Mami with a confused expression on her face. She doesn't know why she was being complimented.
"You were there for Lucy, but when Q was in that situation I wasn't there. I honestly don't think Q had anybody. You are really good friend. A better friend than was. That's why I am proud of you."
Amanda throws her Mamí a grin.
"You're getting soft."
Santana scoffed and rolled her eyes before answering in a serious tone.
"Only with my two loves."
Amanda wraps her arms around her mamí and sighs contently.
"I love you," Amanda whispers.
"I love you, too," Santana says before placing a kiss on her daughter's head.

The next day, Lucy had stayed home from school in order to go to the doctors to get blood drawn among other things. Another reason why she stayed home was because she didn't want to face Jason. Lucy had told Beth everything Jason had said to her the other day and now Beth was out for blood.
"You have stay calm, baby," Amanda says as she stops Beth from entering the school. "You can still get into some serious trouble if you were to do what I think you are going to do."
"I don't care," Beth says softly. "He hurt her and I have to fix it. He was cruel."
"I know, but I don't want you to do anything that could get you into trouble. I love you."
"I love you, too," Beth replies with all her heart as she wraps her arms around her girlfriend, "But he messed with my family," Beth states before pulling away and walking inside the school.
Amanda sighs.
"She's going to be in so much trouble."

Beth walks through the halls on a search for Jason. She quickly spots him near his locker with his buddies.
"Jason!"
Jason turns around and rolls his eyes.
"What do you want Fabray?"
Beth stalks forward and shoves Jason into the lockers hard. Everyone in the hall gathers to watch the interaction.
Jason straightens out his shirt and steps forward.
"You're pissed I get that, but I don't hit girls. I slept with your sister and you're pissed. Just leave it alone. She can fight her own battles."
Beth grows angrier after every word that comes out of Jason's mouth. She curls her hands into a fist and sends one flying into Jason's face. He hits his head against the locker and he growls before shoving Beth against the hallway. Beth slams into the lockers and the crowd gets bigger as the two continue to go at it.
It wasn't until Sue Sylvester blew her whistle that Beth and Jason stopped their fighting.
"Get to class except for you two," Sue said to Jason and Beth.
The crowd quickly dispersed. Beth and Jason were both breathing heavily waiting for more instruction on what to do. Once the hallway was clear, Sue walked closer to the two teens and shook her head.
"I think we should all have a chat in the principal's office, don't you, bruised knuckles and black-eyed Henderson?"
"Whatever," Jason mumbles before making his way to the office.
Beth stuck out her foot and Jason fell flat on his face. Beth grins

After getting suspended from school for the rest of the school year, Beth walks into the house with an icepack to the back of the head. Rachel was the one that brought her home because Quinn and Lucy were at the doctor.
Rachel and Beth walked into the house and spotted Quinn and Lucy snuggled on the couch watching a movie.
Lucy looks at her sister with a frown knowing what Beth had done.
"You didn't have to do that for me, but I appreciate it."
Quinn playfully rolls her eyes.
"Well I don't. She's not going back to school until next year."
Beth groans and plops into an open seat.
"It's only like two weeks, besides he looks worse," Beth says with a grin. "So, how did it go? Any word?"
Rachel looks at her wife and daughter, already knowing the answer. Lucy looks at Quinn who nods her head.
"You beat him up for nothing. I'm not pregnant. The doctor says that false positives do happen, it's rare, but I was one of the rare ones. I'm not pregnant."
Inside, Beth was yelling with joy. She was happy her sister wasn't pregnant for many reasons.
"Ass hat still deserved it."
"Totally," Lucy states with a smile.
Everyone in the room laughs and in the process releases any stress that the last 12 hours or so have caused on their lives.
