I followed Quinn down the hall "Look all I'm saying is, that a DNA test would be appreciated. Look you need help with the bills and the faster I know the sooner I can or can't help." I tried to talk to her "Look, Griffin! I can't stand the fact you're being like this. Trying to make me get a DNA test I currently don't want right now is not you. The Griffin I know at least tries to negotiate with me knowing how difficult this is on me." she stated as she stopped and turned to me, jabbing a finger in my chest.
"There you go making everything about you. I'm the one with a fully born son. Have you seen my credit card transactions. I just spent $399 on a baby mattress because he managed to get shit outside his diaper. When I needed help where were you. Fighting over Finn and trying to keep your spot at the top of the Cheerios." I scoffed as I removed her hand from my chest "This is not you Griffin. What's gotten into you?" she frowned before walking off.
I stood in the hall as Rayna finally turned and faced me "Look, all I know is she's too hard to work with. She wants everything her way." I stated "Oh really, because it seems like you want everything your way by the way you didn't even want her to organize your damn locker a certain way." she rolled her eyes as she clutched Fallon tighter and looked behind me.
"It's not my fault her baby hormones want her to organize every little thing. It's my locker." after my small rant I watched as Rayna visibly cowered and shrunk in her stance. "Griffin." I heard a masculine tone speak from behind me.
I looked behind me to see no other than Mr. Greene, Mr. Harvey Greene and his family standing behind him. "Mr. Greene." I said in shock. "Why the hell is this man in my school with his wife daughter and her boyfriend." I thought to myself "What are you doing here?" I asked calmly.
"We're here to pick up Fallon." he stated "That's not in the cards. The court states that it's my call when I want to drop him off and pick him up." I stated as I hid Rayna and Fallon behind me "Yes, but the court also states that those rules will be revoked if you fail to let us see him at least two times within two weeks. And if you fail to do so we'll get half-and-half custody." Amanda spoke from behind him.
Reluctantly I sighed. I picked Fallon up and handed him to Harvey "Bring him back to me at 5:45 PM. Your second time will be at dinner, my place around 7 PM. We'll discuss the details then." I said sadly.
They nodded with wide smiles and walked off I could hear the faint cries of Fallon. My heart broke at the sound and I could feel tears bubbling in my eyes.

It's the later in the day and Rachel has found a song she wanted to perform. I zoned out completely so I wasn't really listening. Everyone was singing along but I just sat there.
Things felt different without Fallon "Guys. Guys, guys.
I don't wanna be a buzz-kill... but the assignment was hello." Mr. Schuester announced "I'm sorry. I was just focusing on the first syllable." Rachel stated glancing back at Finn who was also still seated.
"I don't think you guys understand the seriousness of what we're up against. While we were busy winning our sectional... Vocal Adrenaline was busy winning theirs. They're last year's national champions. They haven't lost a competition
in three years. This is the big leagues, guys. Huh. If we don't place at regionals... Glee Club is over." Mr. Schuester stated causing everyone to rethink their decisions.

I sat the plates down on the dining room table. I was waiting on the Greene families arrival. I had got a last minute text saying they were half-way here so between prepping the dining table and taking yesterday's night prepped meal I was not looking too good.
I quickly placed Fallon in his highchair before swooping his hair to the side. I placed down some baby snacks for him before heading back towards the living room. "Quinn could you please hurry!" I shouted from at the bottom of the stairs.
She peaked her head around the wall "Why do I have to pretend to be your girlfriend?" she asked "Because I don't want Chloe and her damn bitch of a mother questioning me and degrading me for thinking I could take care of a kid by myself." I responded as I watched her slowly descend down the stairs.
I grabbed her hand, helping her down the last step. I led her to the kitchen where she smiled at Fallon instantly. I couldn't help but smile when she quickly started playing with him. A knock at the door disturbed their interaction. I rushed to the door peeping out of the peephole before opening the door.
"Mr and Mrs. Greene, welcome! Chloe." I said enthusiastically with a nod and allowed them to enter. They walked in and just as Chloe walked I noticed that she brought her dumb idiot of a boyfriend. "Why are you here?" I asked annoyedly.
He shrugs his shoulder and smirks "I'm dating Chloe why shouldn't I be here?" he placed his hands in his pockets "You're not needed." I whispered "Whoa, buddy. I'm just here to protect her...incase you loose your cool again." he whispered before trying to enter.
I stepped in front of him "Your name is no longer on the birth certificate and you aren't included in the court ordered agreement. If you step foot in my property I will not hesitate to call the cops." I smiled wickedly before closing the door.
I turned back towards the Greene family "Well, shall we." I smiled before leading them to the kitchen "Excuse the mess. My girlfriend was in the middle of her oddly enough obsession of cleaning." I smiled before we entered the dining room.
Quinn quickly stood at the attention of the Greene's "Quinn, baby. This is Mr and Mrs. Greene and their daughter Chloe." I pointed towards the family. "Nice to meet you." Quinn smiled falsely before shaking their hand. I smiled before pointing towards the seats.
We all sat down and began digging into the food "Well, I see you couldn't help but impregnate another girl. I'm surprised she isn't 'goth' this time." Chloe said whilst rolling her eyes "Okay let's get to the real reason you're here." I sighed before placing my fork down.
"Well we would like to have Fallon on the weekdays and you can habe him on the weekends." Amanda smiled "No can do. The most I will agree on is Friday through Sunday. That way the time would be spaced out." I offered.
Amanda looked shocked at my words "Look, weekdays every two weeks." she negotiated "How about no and we can do what I just offered every week." I finalized my negotiation.
Amanda and Chloe shared a defeated look before Amanda piped up "Can I speak to you in private." she turned back to me. I nodded and stood up leading her into the guest bathroom that was on the other side of the house "Look, we can negotiate on this. Chloe is the mother after all." she sighed before biting her lip.
"A mother that decided to force me out of- Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?!" I questioned as she began unzipping her dress "Look I'll give you anything you want as long as you give us the timing we expected to negotiate." she whispered as she leaned in closer.
I felt as if my breath was lodged in my throat "N-No. My girlfriend is out there and she's pregnant I'm not doing that. It's either my way or no way." I huffed before walking out.
