Chapter 18

Finally it was winter break. Everyone had a break from school which was exactly what Finn and Rachel both needed more than anything else. The year was going by faster than they had expected and in four short months, Rachel had her NYADA callback. The only bad part of that audition was she was due to have her baby the week after and Nationals was the weekend before.

Quinn went to her family's ski lodge in Colorado for break to spend some time skiing before the snow wasn't even there anymore. She decided to turn her phone off for vacation to avoid talking to anyone from school or Lima in general.

Finn stayed in Ohio with his mom, Kurt, and Kurt's dad. He tried to avoid Rachel as much as he could but it was almost impossible. He sat on the bench at the park, thinking to himself about how he was going to do this without any help. He was going to try as hard as he could to keep his girl; he promised himself that. But he needed to be realistic. He had seen all of the movies and he knew it wouldn't last three months. He would fight for his girls, though, both of them. He glanced at his buzzing phone. A new text from Rachel.

Hey, I'm sorry. I understand that this is your dream and I don't want to stand in your way anymore. We need to hold this together for as long as we can because I need you right now.

He read the text and sighed, putting his phone back in his pocket and standing up, beginning to walk to her house. Rachel's house was right by the park so it was only a five minute walk or so. He knocked on the door and when nobody answered, he let himself in. "Rachel? Are you here?" She walked out to the living room slowly, wanting him to notice that she didn't want to talk.

"Rach, what's wrong?" He asked as she stepped closer to him. She moved closer by the second and soon she was in the same situation as Quinn was that night she kissed him, pulling off his shirt.

"Nothing's wrong," Rachel smiled as she finished unbuttoning his shirt and pulled it off. "My dads aren't home."

Finn nodded and kissed her passionately, picking her up as she wrapped her legs around him, and laid her on the couch. He was on top of her within seconds, kissing her forcefully as they ripped each other's clothes off. "Can we even do this?"

Rachel simply nodded and started kissing his neck.

"But will it hurt the baby?"

"Just shut up. I asked it on . It's actually good for the baby," Rachel rolled her eyes and pushed her lips against his again.

"Well if it's good for the baby," Finn smirked and pulled off her pants.

"We don't even have to worry about protection this time," Rachel says breathlessly.

"Wait…" He pulled away. "No, Rach, stop. We can't do this. It's anger sex."

"You're no fun," Rachel sighed and sat up, pulling her shirt back on over her head and grabbing her phone from the coffee table. Finn took it from her hand and set it back down. "Hey!"

"Can we talk about this please? As much as I'd love to push this feeling away with other distractions but we're gonna need to talk eventually," Finn sighed.

Rachel nodded and looked away from him. "I didn't get into NYADA yet so you don't have to worry."

"But you're going to get in," Finn said, moving closer to her so he could comfort her.

"But what if I don't? I'm 18 and I'm having a baby, I'm getting married, we don't have any future plans, I'm gonna be nine months pregnant when I have my callback, they're gonna think I'm a…"

"Rach, don't say that. I believe in you and I promise I'll never give up on you," Finn interrupted her.

"Thank you. You know, even though we'll be miles away from each other, I think we can make this work. I love you enough to Skype you every night for hours before we go to sleep and we can text all throughout the day so it will be just like living together," Rachel nodded, smiling. "We can make it, Finn."

"Yeah, we can," Finn smiled and kissed her.

Quinn pulled off her hat and coughed a little as she sat down at the community fire. She rubbed her hands together and took another sip of her hot chocolate. Her hands were frost bit from all of the skiing and she couldn't stand the heart burn from her collapse on her last black diamond. She was normally an amazing skier but she was a little out of it today. "Quinn?" A voice asked from behind her. They must've recognized her coat. Damn.

"What are you doing here?" She turned around to face the voice. It sat next to her.

"My aunt has a cabin here so Stacy, Stevie, and me decided to come up here for a couple of weeks," Sam smiled slightly but it fell again.

"I heard you and Rachel have been getting along recently," Quinn sighed and looked forward.

"Yeah well what else is supposed to happen when my girlfriend starts hooking up with her boyfriend," Sam rolled his eyes and watched the fire.

"I didn't hook up with Finn, he's my best friend and he'll never be more than that," Quinn said, looking back at Sam.

"I don't believe that for a second. You kissed him, remember? And even if you didn't give me a reason to be pissed about you and Finn, I have a reason to be mad about you and Puck," Sam said. "So don't give me that."

"I kissed Finn because he was sending me mixed signals and you were still in love with Mercedes. And me and Puck…we're never going to be a real thing so it doesn't matter how I feel about him because he doesn't give a damn about me," Quinn said. She felt a tear fall down her cheek and almost freeze as it hit the ground.

"He cares about you, Q. If he didn't, he wouldn't keep falling for you instead of some other hot cheerleader," Sam admitted, wishing he hadn't said it.

"I'm just easy for him. We have Beth together so it's easy for him to win me over every time," Quinn nervously bit her lip as another tear reached her mouth.

"Quinn, you deserve good things. And I know you deserve someone who's popular and muscular and talented and I know you think I'm all of those things but if he's what you want, then just go for it. Give him a fair shot like you gave me," Sam nodded and turned away from her, tears filling his eyes as well.

Quinn didn't say anything more before she pulled his face to face hers and kissed his lips passionately and, even though she was freezing on the outside, a warm feeling filled her body.

Sorry this chapter was like half Quam but I promise it will be more Finchel soon. The whole storyline of this story is supposed to be a love pentagon between Rachel, Quinn, Finn, Sam, and Puck. Quinn's trying to decide between Sam and Puck, Finn's trying to decide between Quinn and Rachel, and Rachel will later have to try and decide between Finn and Sam. So if you don't like that idea than please let me know through PM or through my instagram account for this: rachelstarberry38. Thanks! Review or PM please :D
