"Come on, Q. Can't you just give me a chance?" Puck requested.

"I've given you a million chances and tests, and you've failed every single one." Quinn noted as she slammed her locker shut. "Stay away from me."

"Quinn, come on." Puck begged. "Let's just talk about it."

"I don't wanna talk about it anymore." Quinn said. "I'll see you in glee club."

Quinn ignored Puck calling after her as she hurried down the hall to the girls' bathroom. She went inside and stood at the sink, taking deep breaths.

"Quinn?" Mercedes asked. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Quinn insisted.

"You're crying." Mercedes noted.

Until Mercedes said it, Quinn hadn't even realized she was crying.

"What'd Puck do now?" Mercedes wondered.

Quinn took a deep breath and wiped her eyes. "He wants to keep her."

Mercedes nodded slowly.

"And I do, too, but..." Quinn shrugged. "It's gonna be so hard. I don't know how we're supposed to raise a baby."

"You wanna keep her?" Mercedes asked.

"Yeah." Quinn confessed. "I've lost my family and a lot of my friends, but... I don't wanna lose her."

"Did you tell Puck you've been thinking about it?" Mercedes questioned Quinn.

Quinn shook her head. "I don't know if he's gonna be a good father."

"He might surprise you." Mercedes suggested. "But even if he doesn't, you have a choir room full of aunts and uncles who will step up."

Quinn looked at Mercedes.

"And when we're older, she can babysit my kids." Mercedes added with a smile.

Quinn exhaled as she smiled back.

"Whatever you decide, it's gonna be okay." Mercedes promised as she put her arms out. "Come here."
