Their parents were discussing what they needed to do and what was expected from Santana and Finn while the duo sat on the couch quietly talking "Can I go to the next doctor's appointment?"

"I'm far enough along they can tell us if the Bean's a boy or a girl." Santana said.

"Really?" Finn couldn't keep the excitement from his voice.

"Once we know we can think of names..."

"Ones that go with Hudson..."

"Really?" Santana asked softly.

Finn nodded "Well yea."

"It's just some guys..." Santana shook her head, Finn was not like other guys "never mind."

"I'm going to tell Rachel tomorrow," I'm out looking for a job."

"Actually Brittany's dad needs help, Pierce Landscaping, he was getting a cat out of a tree and broke his hand." Finn cringed "It's just mowing and stuff but he can't do it with one hand." Finn nodded.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for not running." Santana said quietly, Finn shrugged embarrassed. "Seriously you could have fought this whole thing but you accepted it..."

"You're mean Santana but you don't lie, at least you've never lied to me." Finn shrugged again.

"I'll try to be less mean to you." Santana promised. "Good luck with Rachel tomorrow."

"Thanks." Finn nodded.


"Good morning." Rachel beamed at Finn, she wasn't sure why he was at her house on a weekend morning but she was excited to see him none the less.

"Morning." Finn returned without the smile "We need to talk."

"Are you breaking up with me?" Rachel blurted.

"What? No. I just need to tell you something." Finn shook his head following her into her house, it was going to be a disaster, her dad's were home. Sitting on the couch with her Finn dug a copy of the results out of his wallet handing it to Rachel.

A paternity test, "What's this?" Rachel asked reading it.

"The baby's mine Rachel, I lied when I said I didn't sleep with Santana." Finn readied himself for the screaming, the drama, the accusations.

"You cheated on me." it wasn't a question it was a statement.

"We weren't together, you were with Jesse." Finn said calmly.

"You cheated with Santana and got her pregnant!" Rachel yelled standing up.

Finn stood up stepping away from her, he wasn't sure if she was going to hit him or not "We weren't dating, you were dating Jesse, I didn't cheat on you." Finn repeated, he could see her fathers standing in the doorway between the dining room and living room he wanted to make sure they knew the truth. "But yes the baby's mine Rachel and I'm going to be in it's life, I need you to understand that."

"Get out! Get out!" wading up the paper she threw it at him, Finn cringed at the last shrieking "GET OUT!"

Nodding Finn walked backwards to the door, he wasn't sure what she would do if he turned his back to her, he'd expected worse from the diva but was sure she was holding back her full wrath because her dads were home.


Santana to Finn: How's it going, did she rip your balls off? I can have Wheezy come protect you.

Finn couldn't help but laugh at the way Santana showed her concern Finn to Santana: She yelled I cheated on her

Rolling her eyes Santana typed Santana to Finn: She must have forgotten she was dating Jesse St. Dick at the time

Finn to Santana: She told me to get out, I'll let her get a hold of me. Headed to Mr. Pierce's office

Santana to Finn: Just a heads up he's eccentric

Finn to Santana: Okay, thanks. Only one coffee.

Santana chuckled typing Santana to Finn: You're worse than my mom

Finn smiled tucking his phone into his pocket, climbing on his bike she pedaled towards town.


Finn was not prepared at all for the little Korean man that stood in front of him "U..Um Mr. Pierce?"

"Yes." he beamed up at the tall teen. "You're very tall."

"Oh, yea." Finn rubbed the back of his neck.

"So what can I do for you?" Mr. Pierce asked walking away from Finn forcing the teen to follow if he wanted to keep talking.

"Santana said you need help because you broke your hand." Finn explained "I'm a friend of Brittany's"

"Brittany?" the little Korean man looked up confused.

Finn scrunched up his eyebrows just as confused by the man's reaction to his daughter's name, "Um, aren't you Brittany's dad? Tall blonde, cheerleader." Finn felt weird describing Brittany to her father especially since there was a family photo on the desk.

"Yes." the small man giggled "She's so much like her mother." it was true Brittany looked like the blonde woman in the photo and the little girl looked liked Mr. Pierce, he waved Finn over to his desk with his red casted wrist, when Finn sat down Mr. Pierce said "Brittany's not here, she's with her girlfriends."

Eccentric was not the word Finn would have used to describe Mr. Pierce, "Santana said you broke your hand and might need help and since I need a job she suggested I come here."

"Santana?"

"Brittany's best friend." Finn glanced around looking for a camera, he was sure he was getting messed with.

"Brittany's such a sweet girl." Mr. Pierce nodded. "Yes I broke my hand." he held up his hand.

The front door opening Finn glanced over his shoulder giving a smile, but the blonde man frowned. "Pierce."

"Hey." he beamed greeting the tall blonde man "This is..." leaning forward he whispered to Finn "Who are you?"

"Oh." Standing Finn introduced himself "Finn Hudson, Santana sent me."

"Oh." the man at the door relaxed "I'm Brighton Fallon, Brittany's uncle, the girls called about you." he shook Finn's hand. "I have a packet for you to fill out, bring it back tomorrow and we'll work out a schedule that works with school."

"Thank you." Finn smiled taking the packet.

"You'll be working with Pierce, most of his jobs are on the weekends."

"That's okay." Finn nodded. "Thank you."

"Anything for Brittany." Brighton nodded.


Monday was starting as Santana knew it would, her mother greeted her with "Crackers?" as she entered the kitchen, Santana groaned, her stomach hurt from throwing up. "Do you need to stay home?"

"No, I got it. Finn told Rachel so now it's time to face the music and see what the little Hobbit has planned." Santana muttered.

"Let me know if you want me to come and get you."

"Mercedes said she'll beat people up for me." Santana smirked.

"Santana." Maribel scowled.

"She offered." Santana chuckled taking a bit of the cracker. "I promise to behave as much as I can."

"Call if there's trouble." Maribel sighed.


Santana picked up Brittany, Mercedes had her car back so she was driving herself and Quinn, the girls had agreed to meet in the parking lot. "So you're telling today?" Quinn asked.

"I'm not going out of my way to tell people but if they ask, we got the results." Santana held up a copy, Mercedes quickly snatched it away. "I told Finn he could tell people if he wanted, he told Rachel the day after we got the results."

"99.9%, damn." Mercedes laughed handing them back. "Well they can't argue with this."

"They might." Santana linked her pinky with Brittany's. "But we'll deal with it."

"What did Rachel say?" Quinn asked curiously.

"She accused him of cheating." Santana sighed admitting "She's going to be a bigger pain in the ass than I thought."

"You did get pregnant by her boyfriend," Quinn pointed out "yes they weren't dating at the time, but still."

"Wait wasn't she dating Jesse when you jumped on the Finn wagon?" Mercedes asked confused.

"That seems to have slipped her mind." Santana said dryly.

"Didn't she sleep with Jesse?" Brittany asked.

"No, she lied." Santana shook her head.

"Wow." Quinn shook her head.


Santana rolled her eyes, the looks were still the same, the sneers, the whispers that the school slut was knock up but they were not as loud as they had been the week previous. "What is that smell?" Quinn wrinkled her nose before covering it with the back of her hand, Santana brought her hand up too looking around, curse and blessing of pregnancy amplified sense of smell.

"Smells like someone was dumpster diving." Santana gagged.

"Yea, that guy." Mercedes pointed to a trash covered teen heading for the principal's office.

"He should have showered before coming to school." Brittany shook her head, Santana smirked.

Quinn rolled her eyes muttering "Puck."

"What?" The four girls jumped at the sound of his voice, Quinn punched him in the chest "Damn, ow." Puck covered the spot she hit.

"Do not scare pregnant women." Mercedes slapped his shoulder.

"Damn." Puck stepped out of reach rubbing his shoulder. "Easy ladies." reaching in his pocket he pulled out a wad of cash handing it to Quinn "For the kid." Quinn tucked it in her purse. Resting his eyes on Santana he folded his arms smirking "So Finn huh?" Santana glared at him daring him to say anything else and hoping he wasn't that stupid.

"Yea." Finn growled behind him, Puck tried to play cool but they'd heard him squeak, Mercedes giggled.

Clearing his throat Puck swallowed and gave a nervous smile "C...congratulations."

"Thank you." Finn said evenly, nodding and backing away Puck bumped into another student, shoving them Puck growled before disappearing into the crowd.

Mercedes smiled "Congratulations Daddy, how you feelin'?"

"I wanna throw up." Finn chuckled.

"Me too." Santana muttered.

Reaching in his pocket Finn pulled out a handful of peppermints. "Mom said these work and crackers..."

"And Sprite or 7up." Quinn pipped up.

"I have crackers in my backpack." Santana admitted taking the peppermints from Finn.

"Walk you to class?" Finn offered.

"I thought we talked about being weird?" Santana asked turning and heading for her and Brittany's first class.

"It's not weird." Finn pouted.

"Come on Finnocence." Santana sighed crooking her finger at him, he was going to be her second Brittany, he was grinning that he'd gotten his way. Arms linked Quinn and Mercedes followed behind at a slower pace, their classes were in the same hall. Santana raised her hand stopping everyone's forward movement "Did you throw that guy in the dumpster?"

"I just got here." Finn shook his head, Santana was surprised at what happened next, they heard a snicker and then slam. The girls turned around seeing Finn had a smaller jock pinned against a locker, his fist pulled back ready to strike. "You got something to say?"

Trying to be brave the boy asked "W...what do you care, it's Lopez."

Finn leaned down growling "Cause it's my kid."

"O..oh." the teen swallowed.

Santana tugged at his fisted hand "Leave one alive to send the message to the rest of the troops." Finn glanced back at Santana confused "He'll tell the others, less work for us." she explained.

Releasing the other boy Finn straightened up glaring at the other boy until he lost sight of him.


Santana had been right, by fourth period most of the students and teachers were talking about the quarterback and ex-Cheerio, two hockey players and one rugby player had been thrown in dumpsters and Rachel was fuming. "Look I'm not throwing them in dumpsters." Finn grumbled "But I'm not letting them talk about her and my baby like that either." he'd slammed a few people against lockers.

"You are my boyfriend, do you know what it's like to have someone else pregnant by your boyfriend?" Rachel demanded.

"Are you serious right now Rachel?" Finn ran his hand roughly through his hair. "My best friend got my girlfriend pregnant while we were dating." Finn gruffed. "Or has that slipped your mind?"

"So you do the same to me?" Rachel demanded.

"We weren't together Rachel, you were dating Jesse and it's not like we planned this." Finn huffed.

"What you 'accidentally' had sex?" Rachel scoffed.

"Nope, that part was planned," Santana pipped up from behind Finn "the baby however was a total surprise."

"This is all your fault!" Rachel lunged for Santana, Finn grabbed Rachel by the waist holding her away from Santana as she flailed her arms trying to reach the Latina "He's mine! Mine and you're trying to take him!"

"How about we don't try to hit a pregnant woman." Mercedes shook her head glaring at Rachel, Brittany frowned folding her arms.

"I don't want him Man-hands." Santana said calmly from behind Mercedes, she'd been surprised at the speed Brittany had pulled her behind the black girl "He's yours, but he is the baby's dad and he wants to be a part of the Bean's life so deal with it. Anyways, as I was saying," Santana turned her attention back to Finn "I have a doctor's appointment after school, to find out if the baby's a boy or girl, would you like to come?"

"Yea?" It took Finn a minute to follow what she was saying, grinning he nodded "Yea, yes." straightening up he released Rachel.

"I'll text you the address, bring your mom." Santana patted his shoulder before linking pinkies with Brittany and heading to class.

"Okay." Finn beamed.

"I got you a present." Mercedes smiled handing Finn a book, giving a sheepish smile he chuckled at the baby name book in his hand.

"I get it, no Drizzle."

"Good boy." Mercedes chuckled patting his shoulder before walking away.

Rachel huffed rolling her eyes. "Must you throw it in my face?"

"We're not throwing it in your face Rachel." Finn sighed.
