Ch. 26

"Hey." Quinn looked up from her book in the library. It was lunch and since it was so cold out now she choose to spend her time here, she could read in peace away from the stares, glares, and whispers. It was now the end of January and Quinn's stomach was growing larger and larger. She was fully in maternity clothes now, there was no hiding it. Her only saving grace from the hell that school had become was glee, Santana and Brittany, and Noah. Quinn wasn't sure how it happened but slowly but surely Noah had become one of her best friends. He was so different with her than with everyone else. To the school he was Puck the badass and sex god but to Quinn he was the quiet sensitive boy whom she could just sit and read with. Yes Noah loved to read, he mostly read mysteries and science fiction but occasionally a classic here and there. That was actually how she discovered his secret love for books, he quoted All's Quiet on the Western Front on day and Quinn had been floored. So now every Tuesday and Thursday he joined her in the library to read, they didn't really talk just read and it was the most calming and peaceful time of Quinn's week.

"Hey." She smiled back as he plopped next to her on the one couch in the library.

"New book?" He asked. Quinn held it up. "Hemingway To Have and Have Not. Sounds boring."

"To you maybe. Still on The Lord of the Rings?"

"Nearly done." That was the end of the conversation until the end of lunch. Noah helped her to her feet.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to sing with me for the glee assignment this week, the duets." Noah held the door open to leave the library. Quinn signed, she'd yet to sing solo in glee and by the glares she was getting form Rachel she knew here time of swaying in the background was nearly up. Perhaps a duet with Noah would shut deter Rachel from mission Quinn sing.

"Sure. Um, come by my house tonight around 4."

"4 great see you then." Noah ran off while Quinn headed to her next class. She was joined shortly by Santana.

"What's got Puck so excited he looked like he just won the lottery."

"No clue. So who are you singing with for glee?" The twosome entered paused at Quinn's class.

"Britts. You?"

"Surprise surprise. Noah."

Santana laughed heartily, "That explains it."

"Explains what?"

Santana shook her head, "You really are blind. Whatever forget I said anything. See you later Q."

Quinn was confused by Santana but that wasn't anything new she shrugged it off and went to class.

Judy's day was too long, it was past 6 and she was just getting home. Her current clients were making it very difficult for her sell their home. They wouldn't make any concession on the price or renovations. All Judy wanted to do was collapse on the couch and relax.

"Ugh Noah." Quinn's laughter came from her bedroom. Noah. What was he doing in Quinn's room?

Judy forgoing knocking like normal through the door open to see Quinn sitting on her bed and Noah sitting on the desk chair with a guitar in his hands.

"Judy!" Quinn yelled and the intrusion.

Judy swallowed, she hadn't known what she was thinking, just the idea of Quinn having a boy in her room didn't settle well with her. Clearly nothing was going on but Judy still needed to make it clear that a boy in the bedroom was big no no.

"I heard voices, a boy's voice."

"Noah and I are working on a glee assignment." Quinn said incredulously.

"I can see that, but Quinn there are no boys in your bedroom. Now come out and you can finish this in the living room."

"My computer is in here with my music." Quinn retorted.

"It's a laptop unplug it and take it with you. Quinn I am not joking no boys in your room."

Quinn was shaking her head her face bright red. "You're serious."

"I am let's go." Judy warned.

Quinn laughed, "What do you think is going to happen? That I'm going to get pregnant. Update Judy I already am."

Judy counted to ten before answering, "That was not what I was imply Quinn and you know it. It is a simple policy Quinn. Your sister couldn't have boys in her room nor can you. Now go to the living room to finish your assignment."

Quinn glared at her for a moment before standing, "Come on Noah."

Dinner an hour later after Noah was tense. Quinn was closed off and refused to look at Judy. Judy was trying to think of how to address what had happened. Carol's words echoed in her mind 'Trust will be even harder to gain and easier to break with her. Not to mention she is pregnant and that adds to the stress on her. The fact that she is pregnant is not surprising if she was abused, it isn't uncommon for abused children to become sexually active early. They seek the approval and love they don't receive at home in other'. Was Quinn having sex with Noah, Judy knew Noah Puckerman's reputation and she didn't want her little girl to be another notch on that boy's belt.

"So you and Noah are getting close." Judy eyed her daughter for a reaction, nothing.

"You know, he has a reputation." Quinn still didn't react.

"I know you probably feel lonely right now Quinn and your emotions are all over place. You may even be having some urges but, sex isn't the answer Quinn. Noah he…"

Quinn laughter stopped her. Though she was laughing Quinn looked hurt and exasperated. "So you think I am a whore too."

Judy's jaw dropped, "No, Quinn I would never."

"You just accused me of having sex with Noah." Quinn pointed out flatly.

Judy was gob smacked she didn't know how to respond or fix this. She hadn't meant to insinuate that she thought Quinn was promiscuous. "No, I…"

Quinn shook her head, "I know what you were trying to say. I'm pregnant so clearly I am sexual active, right. Clearly I am quenching my thirst for sex with the known womanizer in the school." Quinn stood pushing her food away. "You know I am called a slut and even Hester by the more creative kids, all day at school. I let it go because who cares what they think and I thought hey my friends know the truth and so does Judy. Obviously I was wrong about you." Quinn moved across the room, "Not that you deserve to know, but no I am not have sex with Noah."

"Quinn stop." Judy called out. Quinn turned on her heal to face Judy again.

"Why. You embarrassed me today in front of one of my only friends in the freaking town and now you are insinuating I am a slut. Yeah I am pregnant Judy but that doesn't mean I am having sex with any boy I meet or shows me a little attention, I have more self-respect than that."

Judy stood where she was, "I'm sorry Quinn. I didn't mean to make you think I thought you were…ugh Quinn I am your mom. I just worry about you and I don't want you to get hurt by Noah. He isn't a good boy."

Quinn crossed her arms, "Now you are making assumptions about Noah. Yeah he has made some mistakes but he is good guy. You want to know what we do together?"

"No I trust you." Judy stated trying to rein this conversation in.

"But you don't or you won't have said what you did so I will tell you. We read books."

"You read books?"

"Yes. Noah loves to read but he doesn't like people to know so we read together at the library at school or at the park. That's it, we read."

Judy sighed. "Quinn I really am sorry. I don't think you are a slut nor do I think you are having sex. I panicked. I heard you say his name from your room and my mind it went crazy. You have to understand as a mom all you want to do is protect your child. I never got to have the sex talk with you, and well it's a little late for that, but I still want to protect you and guide you. I just know how difficult these last few months have been for you. I just want to be here for you. As for embarrassing you I didn't mean too, but that is a rule I have always had, even with Franny and well it isn't going anywhere. I am so glad to hear you aren't having sex and I trust that you are telling me the truth; however, if you decide to I want you to come to me, to be able to feel as if you can come to me and talk about it first."

Quinn leaned against the wall, "I guess I get it. I might have overreacted as well. I'll respect your rule."

"Thank you. Now will you please come finish your dinner?"

Quinn complied and returned to the table. "You know…" Judy looked up at Quinn's words, "I was always planning on waiting until I was married. As for the sex talk, well I never got one other than what they tell you at school and Russell staunch no sex until your married speech. I guess what I am trying to say is that it isn't too late and if I ever decide to have sex again I'd like to come talk to you."

Judy smiled, "Of course and I will be here whenever that is."
