I sat in the choir room all the way to the back with my head in my hand. Quinn was cleaning slushie off of Finn as Pucks head hung low also. I rubbed my face before sighing deeply.
I lifted my head up slightly when Mr. Schuester walked in "Okay guys, we're a little behind for sectionals, thanks to our Sue Sylvester detour." I rolled my eyes at the mention of her name. "But you guys seem to really enjoy doing mash-ups, right? And I wanna keep you guys fired up." he said enthusiastically as everyone else returned to their seats.
"Plus, there's an important lesson to be learned withl mash-ups. Sometimes thing's are so different they don't feel like they go together but the big difference between them is what makes them great. Like, chocolate and bacon." he stated.
"Or glee club and football." Finn called out as Quinn continued to wipe his face. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to her yet. Maybe I should take a chance after glee. I mean it is part my kid, right? I wanna at least know what she's gonna do with it.
It wouldn't hurt to see. I don't wanna be pushed out of my second kid's life if she does decide to keep it. Oh God I don't even know the gender. Has she already been to an OBGYN appointment surely if it was Finn's they probably have.
She told me she was a virgin though. That's why we took things slow. Oh my God what will happen if Finn finds out. "Finn, take us through it." Mr. Schuster said. Shit, I missed everything he said. I looked down at the music sheet next to me Bust A Move a classic.
I frowned when I found Rayna staring at me with sad eyes. "Sorry Mr. Schuester I got corn syrup I'm my eye." he stated "Okay, uh, Puck. Have at it." Mr. Schuester pointed to Puck "I don't really groove on young mc." he denied also.
"Alright, Griffin." he looked towards me. I looked up at him fully with complete blood red eyes. "I'll take that as a 'no' also." he nodded "I am shocked at the leading-man ambition right now." Rachel spoke up.
Mr. Schuester nodded, walking back to a music sheet stand and placing down his paper "It's okay, Rachel. I guess I'm gonna have to show these guys how it's done." he said, taking off his button down shirt. Causing everyone but Finn, Quinn, Puck, and I to 'Ooh'.
Mr. Schuester tried getting me to dance but I pushed him away and moved across the room by the piano as the song came to an end "Come on, Griffin don't be a buzzkill." he said to me with a sigh.
"Don't call me a buzzkill when you don't know what I'm going through!" I gritted out "What you're going through can't be worse than Quinn and she's smiling. You're a guy." Mercedes rolled her eyes.
I groaned in anger "Oh yeah? Well this GUY has some issues that can't be fixed so easily. You know Quinn's and I's problems but you don't understand it. You don't know what lies underneath the hard exteriors when we pretend. And I'm tired of pretending!" I shouted as I stormed out of the room.

Quinn's POV
I watched as Griffin stormed out of the choir room. He was right now one understands. "I need to talk to him." I followed him out of the room "Quinn, where are you going?" Finn asked "He's right. No one in this room directly understands our problems and if anyone can get through to him. It's me." I sighed before walking out completely.
I searched high and low for Griffin. Finally finding him in the back corner of the library "Griffin?" I softly whispered, gaining his attention. He looked up at me, his eyes holding so much emotion and showing me he was on the verge of tears.
I quickly got on the floor next to him and pulled him in a hug. He bursted out crying at the action "Hey, it's all gonna be fine." I whispered as he calmed down and pulled away "You can't say that when not even you really believe that." he whispered back with a heart wrenching sob.
I wiped the tears away from his eyes "There's not much we can do anymore. I won't be able to hide it from Finn with all the drama going on." I sniffled as I held his face in my hands "I can't hurt my big bro like that." he sighed.
"You don't want her do you?" I asked "It's a her?" he asked in shock "I-I don't know. It's your call. I just don't wanna end up in the same situation like I am with my son. I don't even know his name. He's only a few months old. I don't even know if he looks like me." he said, his breathing getting heavier.
"I can't end up in the same situation if you do keep her. I mean if you need help with the appointments I can help with that." he offered "I'm fine, G. Let's focus on you." I smiled softly "No, you need comfort more than me. I wanna know your decision." he said calmly.
I breathed in softly "I'm not sure. I was so sure I had my mind made up on adoption but it's not much longer till my bump gets more visible. She already has a heart beat." I sighed. He smiled softly "C-Can I hear it?" he asked softly.
I nodded "Yeah." I breathed. He placed his head on my stomach contently listening before chuckling and looking up at me with a smile. "She's gonna look just like you." he whispered "How can you know that?" I giggled "Because god always chooses the prettier parent." he smirked.
I chuckle softly at his words "You are such a dork." I smiled, looking into his soft baby brown eyes that had a gloss over them.
"You shout it out, but
I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much" he stood up pulling me with him.
"I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up" we sang together, we left the library hand in hand.
"I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away" we walked down the halls and weaved through the crowd of people.
"Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away." we turned down a less crowded hall.
"You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium" we stood directly in front of each other singing.
"You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium" we joined hands again and walked towards the auditorium.
"Cut me down, but it's you
W
ho'll have further to fall" I sang as we walked into the auditorium, smiling back at him
"Ghost town and haunted love" I smiled as he pulled me onto the stage
"Raise your voice, sticks and
Stones may break my bones" I laughed as he spun me around
"I'm talking loud, not saying much" I sang by myself as I walked past him, grabbing a stool.
"I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away" he joined in once again, following behind me and grabbing a stool also.
"Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium" we sat on the stools, facing each other, holding hands.
"You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium" we leaned our foreheads against each other.
"I am titanium
I am titanium" we harmonized together.
"Stone heart, machine gun
Fire at the ones who run." he sang by himself, his breathing getting heavier.
"Stone heart, as bulletproof glass
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium" we sang together, pain evident in our voices.
"You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium" we finished the song, tears streaming down our faces.
"We've got this." we whispered at the same time.

I watched as Finn tackled Azimio and they went back and forth. I didn't try to step in because suddenly I had this growing hatred towards him. If you told me six months ago I 'knocked up my twin brother's girlfriend and started hating him because everyone thought he was the dad'
I would say 'Naw bro I don't get down like that. He's my dawg for life, we're stuck together.' but it seems like fate had other plans "Where's Puckerman?" Coach Tanaka asked "He said he had to miss practice today. He's working on something for glee club." Finn answered.
"You mean working on his coming out of the closet speech or something?" Azimio teased. Finn reached over Matt and pushed him "Hey man, don't push me, man." Azimio said "Enough!" Coach Tanaka exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes at the pep talk. Zoning in and out. Quinn came to me with another bill today so I have to go to the hospital and pay for it. Not to mention she has another appointment she wants me to be at with her and I have to squeeze in a meeting with a lawyer about my case with my son.
It's a lot to deal with right now "I want you to start hanging more. Spend more time together. Which is why starting next week I'm adding extra practice on Thursdays at 3:30." he announced.
Finn, Matt, and I looked up in confusion "But coach that's when glee rehearses." Finn spoke up "I have had it up to here with Schuester and glee. Here's the story quarterback and you tell Puckerman this when you see him. That practice is mandatory no exceptions. So you're gonna have to choose what's more important to you. Football or Glee Club." he stated.
We frowned in thought. Football is my future and what makes my dad and I happy. But the Glee Club makes me happy also. Football is my career chance guaranteed. But the Glee Club isn't. I groaned in annoyance.

I was talking with Quinn and Mike in the choir room. We're all waiting on Mr. Schue to walk in. "Yeah I think I found a pretty sophisticated mash-up I would say so myself." I stated "Sophisticated?" Quinn laughed with Mike "What?" I asked "Big words for a small guy." Mike laughed "I am not that short. I'm taller than both of you!" I frowned causing them to laugh more.
As if on cue Mr. Schuester walked in "So, any ideas for the mash up." he looked around the room as everyone was silent. Quinn nudged me but I shook my head "Griffin? You're hiding something." he pointed out "It'll be finished tomorrow I promise." I smiled nervously.
"Oh come on, guys, it's like you're daring me to start dancing." he joked "Oh no, not that, it'll be like that one SpongeBob scene when King Neptune took off his paper bag. My eyes!" I said dramatically causing everyone to laugh harder.
"I'm working on something." Puck interjected "It's my personal tribute to a musical Jewish icon." he clarified "Uh well fantastic. Let's hear it." Mr. Schuester said, giving him the floor and taking a seat on the other side of Quinn.
I sang along with Mike and Brittany. I was in a better mood today than yesterday. Once Puck finished we all cheered and clapped.
