Lovers *St Berry*

heartbroken

As much as I wanted to hate Jesse for all he did I couldn't. I would always love him. After I kissed Finn on the stage I just abandoned him. I really couldn't get him out of my head.

I looked down at my phone and saw the text "Rachel we need to talk" I responded with "Are you going to throw more eggs at me" "please" he typed. "Fine 1 o'clock at the cafe ." I went to the bathroom and sudden urge for me to throw up came. Everything lined up. I looked like I was gaining weight but I hadn't, and I was never late until now. I decided to take a pregnancy test. Even if it was negative I needed to call Quinn. I had three minutes to evaluate all my life decisions. Three minutes to hope that I wasn't pregnant. Only three minutes to do all this but the time still passed so slowly.
I flipped the test over revealing the plus symbol

Then I remembered my first time. It was still hazy. It felt right at the moment but suddenly I regreted all the decisions I ever made. How was I going to break the news. I dialed Quinn's number." Hello" she answered.

"Quinn I made a big mistake with Jesse. I really need you help."

"Rach, what happened?"

"I slept with Jesse. And now I think I'm pregnant."

"I know how hard this is. I'll pick you up right now don't move an inch I'm on my way." I couldn't breath. I gasped but no air came in.

In the doctor's office Quinn was drilling me about everything. "Did you use protection? Do you know the father." Thank God the doctor just came in because I might have lost it .

"Yep, you're pregnant." She said. I gasped my whole life had just been turned upside down. "You're about three weeks."
She went on. Everything else she said was blurry.

"Rachel, I will always be here for you. No matter what." Quinn said "And that starts with you telling Jesse." I started crying.

"I can't after all we've done to eachother. What if he doesn't want me." I sobbed.

"I know it's hard. You have to ask yourself whether you want him apart of your life now. Either way you have to tell him" Quinn said

"My life's completely ruined. Nobody's going to give me the role of Fanny."

"That's not true." Quinn hugged me tightly. "It'll add to the story behind the production. Now you have to text Jesse to meet you somewhere."

"We already have a date at four." I said

"Let's start there."

"Your going to be a great mom." Quinn's smile didn't help at all.

"Rachel, no amount of I'm sorry's are going to make up for what I did to you."

"Yeah that was kinda a douchebag thing to do." I smiled

"I'm sorry I abandoned you after we, well you know. I knew we said it would mean nothing, but I should have realized while that would be the case for me it couldn't be for you. You deserve more than a one night stand with anybody. You have valid emotions that I need to nurture." He smiled hoping I would smile back.

"Thank you." Is all I could say.

"I also want to clear the air about shelby. When we met it was real, she found out I was dating you and she told me everything. She asked me to get you to find her. I knew you wanted to know your mom and since she wanted to know you. I just loved you so much. I couldn't live knowing something you didn't especially since it was so important to you." Tears rolled down my cheeks. After Jesse stopped explaining. His voice was the only thing keeping me together

"When did she ask you. Just so I can establish a timeline. And also see how much if our relationship was fake."

"After Run Joey Run."

"Can I tell you something Jesse? I can't keep this to myself anymore. Once you hear it don't feel like you need to make a decision right away." I said he nodded

"I want us to be together. A real couple. We can do and be want you want."

"If we're going to date it can't just be my call, you have to be involved."

"I love you Jesse,"

"I love you too Rachel."

"I need you to go somewhere with me." I smiled then pulled out my chair and got my purse for me.

"Don't freak out when I show you this." I pulled him inside my room. "Usually I would break out into song to explain this but I don't have it in me." I went to my bathroom to get the positive test. I hid it in my sleeve.

"What is this about?" I lifted his hand off my shoulder and placed it on my stomach.

"Jesse.."
