Knocked Up

Chapter 26

A few days later, Rachel was at her locker getting her things ready for glee. They had an early session to prepare for sectionals, and with sectionals two days away, they needed all the practice they could get. As Rachel was getting her things, Brittany came up to her.

"Hey Rach." Brittany said cheerfully.

"Oh hi Britt. What's up?" Rachel said.

"Nothing much." Brittany said. Brittany took a real good look at Rachel and something seemed a little off. More than usual. "Hey, Rach you okay?"

"Yeah, Why?"

"Well, I mean you've kind of been out of it lately. What's wrong?" Brittany asked concerned.

"I'm sorry. I've just had a lot on my mind." Rachel told her.

"A lot like what?"

"I talked to my dads last week and told them everything..." Rachel started.

"Wow really? Rach that's amazing. What did they say? How did they take it?" Brittany said

"They took it well. They told me that they'd be there for me, and that if I ever needed any help, I can ask them."

"That's great Rach. I'm so happy for you." Brittany said. "That's all good news, so why have you been all...weird and down lately. I mean I would imagine you would be super happy to hear that. Then I also thought you might be uber-ecstatic about sectionals, but you just seem like a sad little panda."

"Yeah, I know. It's just..." Rachel trailed off.

Brittany waited for Rachel to finish. "Just what?"

"It's just...I told them about Quinn too. You know about how..."

"Yeah, I get it."

"Well the good thing is that they absolutely adore Quinn already, and they haven't even met her yet. And I think my daddy might have a little crush on her." Rachel chuckles.

"Okay that all sounds really good that your dads are cool with Quinn, Rach, but I'm still not getting what the problem is." Brittany said a little confused.

"After I told my dads, dad asked if they would be excepting to see Quinn around."

"Oh kay."

"At first I didn't know what that meant, then dad said 'well since you two are raising a child together I thought we met be seeing her...'" Rachel said in her best dad's voice.

"I'm still confused." Brittany said

"Me...raising a child...with Quinn."

"Okay."

"I just...I don't know if I can see myself raising a child with Quinn." Rachel said

"Well why not?"

As Brittany and Rachel had their conversation, they did not notice that they had an ease dropper.

"Because it's Quinn." Rachel said.

"Sooo?"

"So? She's a player. She lives a carefree life. She's slightly immature, unstable, and...and I don't know. But...but I-I need stability and maturity to raise a child. And Quinn...she's...she's popular. She has girls falling for her left and right. Do you really think Quinn would give all of that up just to raise a child?"

'What?' the ease dropper thought.

"Yeah, maybe." Brittany shrugs.

"Well maybe's not good enough. I need to know for sure if she's going to be in this or not. And I just...I just don't know if I can raise a child with her. Honestly, I don't know if I can raise a child at all." Rachel whispers.

"So what? Are you like gonna do the whole adoption thing?" Brittany asks.

"I...I don't know Brit. I just...I don't know."

"You know maybe you should just talk to Quinn about it. You know if you're having doubts or whatever. Maybe she could help. You should really just give her a chance. I'm sure you wont be disappointed."

Rachel looked at Brittany a little unsure.

"We should...ah...we should really get to glee. We don't want to be late." Rachel said changing the subject then walking away. Brittany shook her head at her best friend before following after her.

After they leave, the ease dropper came from their hiding spot.

"So it was Quinn who got that loser pregnant. Oh this is to good." the ease dropper says. Then a sinister plan came to mind. "Hm I wonder who else knows."

Finn was at his locker when Stephanie walked up to him.

"Hey Finn." Stephanie said

"Uh hey..." he trailed off thinking about what her name was.

"Stephanie." she told him.

"Right Stephanie. Uh can I help you with something?" Finn asks.

"How are you?" Stephanie asked in fake concern.

"Uh fine." Finn answered confused.

"Well the news about Rachel's pregnancy getting out must have been hard for you."

"Uh I guess..."

"And then to find out that it's not even yours..."

"Yeah well...wait how did know it wasn't mine?" Finn asks.

Stephanie ignored him and continued with her plan.

"And it must have been even harder learning that it was actually your arch-nemesis who got her pregnant."

"What are you talking about?" Finn said getting angry. That's just what Stephanie wanted.

"That Quinn was the one who got Rachel pregnant. Yeah, it happened at Puck's party." A pause. "Wait...she didn't...you didn't know?" Stephanie said in false shock. "I-I mean I thought Rachel might have told you."

Finn was red with anger now.

"Oh shit, she didn't." Stephanie said. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I-I didn't know. I-I thought she would have told you. Oh god I'm so sorry." Stephanie looked falsely horrified.

Finn said noththing, he just stormed off past her to the choir room.

"Oh my god, Finn wait...wait...Finn!" Stephanie yells as Finn charges to the choir room.

Puck must have witness what happened because he walked up to a horrified and shaken Stephanie.

"What happened?" Puck asked urgently.

"I-I don't know. We were just talking, then he got mad and stormed off. I-I don't know what happened." Stephanie cried.

"Where did he go?"

"T-to the choir room, I think." Stephanie cries. "I'm so sorry."

Instead of responding, Puck ran off in the direction Finn went.

Stephanie watched them with a regretful and terrified look on her face. Once both boys was out of sight, Stephanie's regretful expression turned into an evil smirk.

"That'll teach that loser Berry to never steal what's mine. And Quinn Fabray...is mine." Stephanie said to herself, with a smirk that said she was very satisfied with her work.
