It had been a month since Puck and I had found out that our little baby was going to be a girl. I was reaching five months pregnant, and I was scared. My mom had told me that once I was five months pregnant that would have to make my decision on whether or not to raise the baby. My father had already claimed to have found three suitable Christian couples that would be more than happy to take the baby off of my hands.
I was still stuck on what to do. Puck and I had one conversation about it a week ago. It was all the same, he wanted to keep the baby and I wanted too, but I just didn't know if it was right for the baby.
The terror at school was starting to stop, believe me it was still happening, but it had started to die down. Puck was kind of serving as my protection and he made sure that no one threw any slushies at me anymore.
Also, about two days ago, Rachel had come up to me at lunch:
"Quinn, could we please talk?"
I closed my locker and looked at her. She was holding a bag of cookies as she said this, and thrust them at me. I took them.
"They're I'm sorry cookies," She told me, "Because I'm sorry we're not friends anymore. Maybe going out with Finn so soon wasn't a good idea, but I just thought that since you were Puck you wouldn't have minded. Obviously I was wrong though, and so I'm sorry."
I was ready to spit out venom and rip Rachel a new one, but after all that had been going on, it wasn't worth it. Rachel was being nice, and I was in no position to turn down friends.
"It's alright; you've been so nice to me through all of this Rachel so I'm sorry for being a bitch. Everything has just been really difficult for me."
Rachel nodded and pulled me into a hug. She rubbed my back and told me that she was there for me if I ever needed someone to talk to. She told me that Finn was there too, and he was really hoping he could be Godfather if we decided to raise the baby.
That was another thing that had happened. Puck had said that Finn had went up to him and told him that they were cool again. He wasn't happy that Puck and I had slept together, but that he wasn't going to be bitter about anything anymore. Well, I'm sure Finn didn't use the word bitter, but you get my point.
Life was starting to get a little normal. Not normal in the traditional sense, but normal in the 'I'm pregnant at 16' sort of way.
Puck picked me up to drive me to school. He had a big grin on his face.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"I want to show you something today after school. Can you meet me in the auditorium?"
I rolled my eyes. "You're my ride home dummy. If I don't meet you there I'm walking home. And after gaining 12 pounds, and having to carry 20 pounds worth of textbooks and junk, that wouldn't be very comfortable."
"So you'll meet me?"
I giggled and nodded.
The day went by slowly, but it always does when you're anticipating something. I finished all my work in class – it's amazing how much you can get finished when you're not gossiping or planning to ruin Rachel Berry's life. Finally, the bell rang and school was out.
I rushed to my locker, and saw Finn standing there. I smiled.
"Hey stranger. I haven't seen much of you lately."
Finn smiled. "Yeah, sorry about that. I've just been really busy with football, and glee, and my friends, which now includes Puck again-"
I cut him off. "And Rachel?"
Finn laughed. "Maybe a little. How are you and Puck doing? He told me you two are actually like dating now or something."
"Yeah, for about a month and a bit. We're good. I mean you're supposed to fall and love and then have kids but, I guess we're just different in that way. How are you and Rachel doing?"
"Good," He replied, "I mean, she's kind of crazy but when I'm with her its like I can't help but ignore all of those things. She's actually really cool."
"This is really weird. Talking about each other's love lives and all."
Finn leaned back on a locked and nodded. "It is. But, I want to be friends. You're cool Quinn Fabray."
I hugged Finn and giggled. "Well you are quite amazing Finn Hudson."
We parted ways and I walked to the auditorium. I went inside and saw Puck standing on the stage with his guitar in hand. I walked down to the seats in the front.
"What are you doing Puck?"
"I have something to sing to you, well to you and the baby. Mr. Schu told me that it might be a good idea and I found this song and-"
"Just get on with it Puck!" I yelled playfully.
I sat down on the chair and watched as he started playing his guitar. He looked at me the entire time as he sang. I never felt so special.
Deep in my heart, there's no room for crying, Welcome in, welcome in, You've got my eyes As each day goes by, makes way for another, Welcome in, welcome in, You've got my eyes Welcome in, welcome in, *(Song is My Eyes by Travis)*
but I'm trying to see your point of view
Deep in my heart, I'm afraid I'm dying,
I'd be lying if I said I'm not
Shame about the weather
Welcome in, welcome in,
You're welcome
It's a sin, it's a sin,
Where birds of a feather, are welcome to, land on you
And we can't see, what you'll be, you can't disguise
But either way, I will pray, you will be wise
Pretty soon you will see, tears in my eyes..
We discover that we're not alone
And each day we try, the best we can to recover,
All the feelings that we left below
Shame about the weather
Welcome in, welcome in,
You're welcome
It's a sin, it's a sin,
Where birds of a feather, are welcome too, land on you
We can't see, what you'll be, you can't disguise
But either way, I will pray, you will be wise
Pretty soon you will see the tears in my eyes..
Shame about the weather
Welcome in, welcome in,
You're welcome
It's a sin, it's a sin,
Where birds of a feather, are welcome too, land on you...
When he finished I ran up to him on the stage and planted a big kiss on his lips. He wrapped me in his arms and held onto me tight. That's when I felt something weird. It was like something was hitting my stomach.
I felt Puck let go of me and he looked at me shocked. "Was that the…"
"The baby," I nodded, "Yeah, it was."
Puck put his hand over my stomach and I moved my hand to be over Puck's. I looked up at him and he leaned down to give me a chaste kiss on the lips.
This was it. I had made my decision. I knew what I had to do.
I looked at Puck in the eyes and whispered, "Puck, I want to keep the baby."
He immediately replied, "It's about time you realized that!"
So that's my story. I don't really know where my life is headed from here on in. I know it's going to be stressful, but I can handle it. I'll have a good life with Puck, and our baby girl. Ms. Pillsbury had given me information on universities with daycare and family housing. Life would get hard, but I wasn't alone, and I had realized that I was finally where I was meant to be.
At this point in time, my life would've been easier, but I wouldn't want to be just fat.
That's the end of the story! I hope you all liked it, as it was a joy to write!
This story has always been AU, but after last night's episode it is even more. I felt so bad for Quinn! Her parents are terrible! But how cute was that stare between Puck and Quinn? I'm so waiting until the day that they'll get together- which I'm feeling is coming up/!
I'm very sorry for the ridiculous wait between these past 2 chapters but I have been terribly busy.
Thank you to all that read/reviewed/favourited/etc. this story, it really meant a lot!
I'm hoping to start a new Puck/Quinn story soon, so I hope you all are planning to read that as well!
Until next time,
Happy Reading
