"Wha...what are you saying? You saying you're PREG-"

"-SHH. Not. So. LOUD."

"...you saying you're pregnant?"

"I...don't know. I haven't taken any tests...but if intuition serves me correct, which it usually does..." She trailed off.

There was silence between the two as they looked around.

"I hope your 'intuition' can be mistaken. This would completely change everything, and everyone's perception of who I am. This isn't right."

"I know. I'm so sorry."

Tears were in both their eyes at this point.

I know, as a reader, you may be thinking the above conversation takes place between Quinn and Finn, or Quinn and Puck...

...it doesn't. In fact, it's probably the couple you'd LEAST expect...

...but let's start from the top, shall we?

One Month Earlier, around Christmas time -

Location: McKinley High School music room.

Everyone in the glee club was chatting amongst themselves, and suddenly quieted down gradually as they heard Mr. Schuester come in. Rachel immediately leapt up.

"Mr. Schu, I don't mean to be frank...but I feel that Tina is a little flat on her part in "Carol of the Bells"...I wouldn't bring this up, but if we're going to be the best, we have to ALL be the best." Tina looked over, and then looked down towards her feet.

"Oh for the love of GOD Rachel...she's fine." Artie said, putting his arm around Tina. Tina looked toward him and smiled, leaning on his shoulder.

"Rachel, I'm with Artie on this one, Tina's fine. Now sit down..." Will now looked to the whole classroom. "...I want to tell you all a new idea I have. It involves every single one of you, and you'd all have equal parts in this."

"You mean someone OTHER than Rachel, Finn, and Mercedes will get to sing??" Kurt asked, a bite of attitude to his voice. He then quickly looked toward a glaring Mercedes. "...I mean, no offense."

"Yes. EVERYONE gets to sing, and they will be doing so with partners..."

Everyone in the room cheered and looked at whom they wanted to work with.

"...that I assign."

He had their attention. Frowning, they looked at him silently.

"Here's my assignment for you all. You and the partner I give you will be doing a mash up of two songs that I assign to you, like we have done in the past. It's both of your job to create as smooth sounding a mash up as possible...and choreography to go along with it. I would expect the both of you to perform this set, and whichever is voted the best by you guys gets to perform that as one of our songs at the Winter Festival coming up."

"Won't everyone just vote for themselves?" Finn asked.

"That will not be permitted." Will responded.

"What if we don't have any INTEREST in performing the winter festival??"

"Well...I suppose you don't have to try. It should be known, though, that besides performing there, the winning partners will get to choose every song we sing for the next MONTH."

Suddenly, everyone in the club was listening much more intently.

"You and your partner will have two weeks to work on this. We will not, however, be doing this during our normally scheduled Glee rehearsals. I know you have busy schedules, though, so once a week we will skip rehearsal, so long as you're working with your partners. But for the rest of the time, you guys will have to find time outside of school/afterschool hours to work on this. Now, I am going to pass out the sheets that have your two songs that you must mash up. As I tell you your partners, I would like the both of you to collect your sheet with the music."

Tensions began to rise in the room.

"Puck and Quinn."

The two both looked at eachother with a half smile, and went up to collect their paper. Finn, Quinn's now ex boyfriend, looked at them both briefly, then down at his feet.

"Matt and Tina...Finn and Santana..."

Rachel slumped in her chair a bit. Not a good day so far.

ALL she wanted was a partner who she could work with...but the few that she got along with were already becoming taken.

"Brittany and Artie...Mike and Mercedes..."

Who's left for ME??? Let's face it...I should be able to choose my partner...I'm the one who pulls this whole group together. *I* should be working with Finn. There's one left...but...who...???

"...Rachel and Kurt."

"WHAT???" Both Rachel and Kurt looked up from his paper.

"Is there a problem?"

"Kurt doesn't have NEARLY the singing experience that I do. His voice is nice, but very untrained!"

"Rachel is a self centered arrogant attention whore with untrimmed nails and bad fashion sense!"

Rachel glared at Kurt, and Kurt, from the corner of his eye, looked at him with a smirk that hinted of arrogance. Will tried his best to ignore them.

"Since I would like you all to get started right away, tomorrow's rehearsal will be replaced. Instead, you will work with your partners during that time block.

While nobody was exactly *pleased* with their partners, nobody was more unhappy that day than Kurt and Rachel.

While I have written stories on other websites, I'm new to this website. If you have any positive feedback and/or constructive criticism, then feel free to review it...I like opinions. XD

And I know in real life, with Kurt being gay, these events would most likely not occur, but that's why it's fanFICTION...and hey, you never know. XD
