Rumor Has It

Chapter 12

(Brittany's POV)

I laid with Quinn and Rowen, just talking and laughing. I was ecstatic. This day was starting to kinda make up for itself. I knew they were safe. But I still didn't know if Quinn was okay. I mean yeah she's okay physically, but what about mentally.

"Hey Q?" I asked looking over at the Blonde who had Rowen laying in her lap. She looked up at me. "Are you okay?" She looked at me and smiled. "Yeah? Why wouldn't I be?" I pursed my lips together. "No like actually, Quinn. Are you okay?" She looked down at her hands then back up. "I'm still a little shaken up. I didn't at all expect any of this to happen." I nodded. I totally get it. You don't just go through something like that and bounce back 100% right after.

She smiled and grabbed my hand. "I'll be okay" she let out a content sigh. "I mean just look at her." I looked down at the peacefully sleeping baby. "How can I be sad when I have this beautiful babygirl." I smiled at the two girls. Speaking of girls. There is one outside along with 2 boys that I've practically ghosted.

"What about San? And Puck and Sam?" She looked up with her brow cocked. "Are they here?" I looked at her with wide eyes. I might have forgot to mention that. "Oh uh yeah they've been here." I said cautiously. She rolled her eyes playfully and pushed me. "Go get them!" I smiled and got up off the bed, putting my shirt back on and walking into the waiting room.

When I emerged from the hallway I saw Puck sitting in the chair asleep. Sam was on his phone and Santana was flipping through a magazine. They never even noticed I was there. I walked up slowly with a smile.

"Long time no see" Santana and Sams eyes shot up. I giggled and walked over to the two. Santana stood up and greeted me with a tight much needed hug. Sam gave me a quick one as well.

"So is everything okay? How's the baby?" Santana was asking all of these questions. I giggled at how fast she was talking. "Yes everything is fine. Couldn't be better actually." I grinned at the two. "Y'all wanna come see them?" Their faces lit up at my words. I glanced over at Noah who was still sound asleep. Santana walked over there and swatted him awake with her magazine.

"Come on, lets go see your daughter."

His eyes shot open and he stood up quickly adjusting himself. "How long was I asleep for?" He asked running his hand through his mohawk. "Only about 30 minutes." Santana assured. He nodded and walked over to me.

"How is everything? Everyone?" I smiled and nodded towards the hallway doors. "Come and see"

We walked down the hallway until we reached Quinn's room. I walked in and smiled at her. "We have visitors." I smirked moving out of the way for the others to walk in. Santana was the first one to reach Quinn's bedside. It was the cutest thing.

"Awh Q she so perfect!" Santana cooed. Quinn smiled knowingly. "Would you like to hold her?" Santana's face immediately lit up. "Of course!" Quinn carefully passed Rowen to Santana. The brunette cradled the baby in her arms. That sent a warm fuzzy feeling through my body.

She walked slowly over to Sam who had a huge grin on his face. "She's so adorable" he brought the back of his index finger to the baby's cheek gently. I looked over to see Puck in the back of the room with his hands in his pockets looking down. You could tell he was nervous.

I walked over to San and whispered in her ear. "I think we should give them two" I gestured over to puck and Quinn. "Some alone time." She nodded knowingly, handing the babygirl to me. I looked over at Quinn who had a shy look on her face. I cleared my throat to get her attention and nodded over to Noah. She gave a gentle smile and nodded. I walked over to the tan boy and tapped his shoulder. He looked up and immediately looked at Rowen. His eyes softened and his cheeks turned a light pink.

"Here" I held out the baby for him to cradle. He held his arms out and it was like she fit perfectly in them. He smiled down at the baby girl. "Wow" he choked out. I looked up to see a tear rolling down his face. I smiled and backed away, giving Quinn a wink before walking out.

Sam, Santana and I all walked outside. I needed some fresh air and so did they. I inhaled deeply. It felt good to finally get some cool air in my lungs.

"How you doing Britt?" Sam asked. I turned around and faced the two. I sighed. "I'm actually doing really good." They both smiled at me. Santana walked over and wrapped her arms around me. I missed this. I missed Santana's hugs and kisses. I wrapped my arms tightly around the slightly shorter girl. She hummed and planted a sweet kiss on my jawline.

"Get a roooom" Sam groaned from behind us. I giggled and wrapped my arm around Santana's waist as she cuddled into my side. We all hung out outside until I got a text on my phone saying to come back to the room. We all made our way back into the hospital room containing Quinn and Row. When I walked in Puck was laying on the little couch in the corner with Row on his chest. I smiled at the two and walked over to Quinn.

"Hey B" she started. I sat down on the edge of her bed. "We have to stay a couple nights to run some tests and make sure everything is 100% good. Do you mind going back to the apartment and getting everything ready? Like put the car seat in Sans car and make sure her nursery is all good. Oh and please can you bring me a change of clothes." She was talking super fast. I giggled at her urgency. "Q, calm down. I got this." I brushed my shoulders off playfully. She sighed and nodded. I looked back over at Noah who was now sitting up cradling Rowen in his arms.

"So what's the deal between y'all?" I gestured towards Noah. She looked down at her hands. I could have swore I saw a blush creep up on her cheeks. "Well uh he said he really wants to be in her life, so I'm gonna let him." She finally looked up. Yeah she was totally blushing. "Okay that sounds cool but what about y'all?" She just shook her head with a grin. "I-uh I don't know." I smirked at her stutters. She only gets nervous like this when she likes someone.

"Well whatever happens I'll be here." She smiled at me. "Okay I'm gonna go get that change of clothes." She smirked and I got up. "Thank you B." I smiled at the blonde and walked out of the hospital room with Santana and Sam.
