"You shouldn't do this to yourself." Oliva heard Puck's voice to her as he sat down beside her.
"Do what?" She asked him
"I know how much it hurts to be off the team." He said pausing before continuing "You're just torturing yourself watching." He continued looking at the blonde girl.
"I need a good distraction." She answered still watching the cheerleading practice.
"From what?" He asked looking at the blonde. She reached into the bag that was sitting beside her and handed him an envelope. She continued watching the practice as the mohawk boy read the letter
"$685?" He asked
"That's how much a sonogram costs." She answered before continuing "This is just the beginning. There's gonna be more doctors' visits, vitamins, new clothes for when I explode." She continued now looking at him properly
"What are we gonna do?" He asked her
"What are you gonna do?" She asked him back
"Well, I'm looking for a job. I mean, no one's hiring." He started "I almost got in at Olive Garden, but they said I was too tall to be a busboy." He continued
"Somewhere in that pea brain of yours is a man. Access him and tell him to prove to me that I chose the right guy to have a baby with." Oliva told the boy before getting ready to stand up
"I will. I'll-I'll find a job. You can count on me, I swear." He said before she finally stands up " Where-Where are you goin' ?" He asked the girl
"You were right. This does hurt too much" She answered before walking away leaving the boy on the bench.

Everyone was sitting in the choir room. Olivia looked over at Artie and saw him struggling to tie his shoelaces. She turned back around and spoke to Puck
"What about Target," she asked
"Tried not hiring," Puck said
"Another doctor's bill came to my parent's house last night, Puck. We're lucky that I'm clever and intercepted it. But we have to start paying these doctor's bills or they're going to go to a collection agency and then my parents are going to find out that I'm with child. Your child" I say before Mr Schue walked in
"All right, guys. We're doing a new number for sectionals. I know that pop song has sort of been our signature pieces, but I did a little research on past winners, and it turns out that the judges like songs that are more accessible. The stuff they know, Uh, Standers, broadway" Mr Schue said
"Defying Gravity," Kurt asked with a smile on his face. "I have an iPod shuffle dedicated exclusively to selections from Wicked. This is amazing" He continued.
"Think you can handle it, Rachel" Mr Schue asked her making Olivia roll her eyes
"It's my go-to shower song, It's also my ringtone," She said as the smile on Kurt's face dropped instantly.
"Why do we have to go all vanilla on this song?" Mercedes asked, "See what we need is my chocolate thunder." She said making everyone but Rachel agrees.
"Okay, we don't have time to rearrange a song for you, Mercedes. Rachel is singing it" Mr Schue answered. "Don't worry, we'll find something for you to dip in chocolate." He continued making everyone laugh but Rachel and Finn looked confused "Onto item 2, the school won't pay for the special bus we need to take Artie with us to sectionals." He said
"W-W-What?!" Tina said
"That's completely unfair," Rachel said
"So we're going to have to raise money to pay for it ourselves. See, when I was in Glee Club, and we needed new silk cummerbunds for regionals, we held a bake sale." Mr Schue said, making everyone laugh.
"You're joking right," Santana asked "I mean, bake sales are kind or bougie."
"So hip people stopped eating delicious sugary treats?" Mr Schue asked
"It's not that. It's most of us don't know how to bake. I find recipes confusing" Brittany said
"My family is fully committed to takeout," Rachel said making Olivia roll her eyes at the brunette
"Yeah, Mr Schue, kids are busier than when you went here. We've got homework and football and teen pregnancy, lunch" Puck said causing Olivia to roll her eyes a hit
"I think that's only us with teen pregnancy Puckerman," Olivia said
"Can't Artie's dad just take him?" Mercedes asked
"I can't believe how insensitive you're all being. Are you a team" Mr Schue asked
"Of course," Quinn said "But Artie understands don't you Artie," Quinn said
"Oh... of course," He said "It's cool. Anything that takes away our time from rehearsing doesn't serve the team" He continued. The bell went and everyone got up to leave but Olivia waited behind, she saw Artie still struggling with his laces and went over and helped him.
"Thank you," He said once she had tied his laces
"Hey, I'm sorry about how they all reacted, Artie." Mr Schue said
"Oh, it's okay. I'm used to it, "he said making Olivia look up at him sadly. "They just don't get it. Can I use the auditorium this afternoon to rehearse Mr Schue? Some of the bad equipment in there" He asked
"Sure" He answered. Olivia helped Artie in the practice room.
"Hey Artie, if you want I can ride with you and your dad to regionals," Olivia said
"Yeah, thanks," He said to the blonde before wheeling away
