Knocked Up

Chapter 40

Later that night, as always in every game, Quinn was in the zone. It was the Championship game, which meant the last game of the season, but to Quinn, it had the same feeling of adrenaline and nervousness as she had the very first game of the season. Well this one was a little more intense.

Quinn looks out to the audience and what she saw brought a smile to her face. Her whole family was in the stands screaming and cheering her on. He dad had finally made it back just like he promised. He had come in the night before. JJ, Emily and Henry were also in the stands. Garcia wanted to come too, but sadly the team had a case and they absolutely needed Garcia's tech advice. They actually almost called in JJ and Emily, but thought better of it. And last but not least, and definitely no surprise, Leroy Berry was probably the loudest one. Standing there cheering at the top of his lungs, with a form finger and a t-shirt that said Team Quinn. How he got the shirt, Quinn has no idea. Quinn, and she's sure a few others on her team and the other team, got distracted a few times, trying not to laugh at him. She was just happy he was enjoying himself.

Sadly Hiram nor Rachel could make it to the game. Hearing that Rachel wasn't going to go, Hiram thought it best if he stayed with her. For a while Quinn tried to persuade Rachel into coming to the game, but Rachel declined, really wanting her solo for Regionals to be perfect. Sighing Quinn let it go, but only if Rachel agreed to hold her spare team jersey. As sort of a good luck charm. Rachel was shocked that Quinn asked this of her, but she took it anyway.

Quinn also saw how close, her dad and Leroy has gotten. They were like two best friends. They would always talk about sports and other things. Once Quinn even overheard them competing over who would spoil the baby more when he got here. This was a little weird to Quinn, because they didn't even know if Rachel and Quinn were even keeping the baby.

And yea, you guessed right. Rachel nor Quinn has talked to each other about the whereabouts of the baby once he got here. There had been many opportunities for them to, but one or both kept chickening out and changed the subject. It seemed like neither knew what to say or how to bring it up. But that was gonna stop right now. Quinn has made a vow to herself that she would not back down and that she would talk to Rachel.

No matter what Quinn would not punk out and she would talk. But of course that would be after the game. Oh yea, she would do all of this after the game. Can't really do it during, cause you know Rachel's not there and all, but yes she would definitely be doing it after the game. Yep after the game was good. It would be best. Everything would be good after the game. Great.

Right, so if everything was so great, then why did Quinn have this nagging feeling that something, not so great was going to happen or was happening.

Quinn quickly shook the feeling off and went back to the game.

The championship game. McKinley was playing against Dalton Academy. The best team in the county. Probably in the state. It didn't help that they also pretty much had one of the best show choirs too. Yep, glee club was in for it this year, but that didn't matter now. What did matter was the game.

It had been a competitive game. Back and forth, they went, but in the end McKinley got the upper hand, but it wasn't the end of the game. Dalton could still take it from them, so they had to really focus and play as a team. So weird feelings aside, it's game time.

They were heading into their 2nd quarter and McKinley was in the lead by 9 points.

Quinn jogs to the middle of the court with the ref and a Dalton player, a kid who looked like he had way to much gel in his hair, to start the second half.

"Woo! Go Quinn!" Quinn heard from the stands. Although she didn't look, a big smile did come on her face.

"Got a lot of support there." the Dalton player said with a genuine smile.
