1x06: In Case

Episode Synopsis: In order to get Santana out of her funk, Kurt invites her to the Fall Fashion Collection party and she quickly invites Dani to come along as well. However, Santana becomes torn with her feelings for both Brittany and Dani after Dani suggests that they pursue a relationship. Meanwhile, Rachel begins to feel under the weather and Finn suggests she goes to the doctor, leading to a shocking discovery.

A week had passed since Finn had taken over the NYADA Glee Club, and if there was one thing he was excited about, it was the fact that he had the day off from school to spend however he liked it. He could have been working on new song suggestions for the Glee members, he could have been working on his homework (which he did the night before to have a proper day off) or he could have walked around the apartment, watching T.V, something he hadn't done since he first moved in the loft. Finn had done none of those things; instead, he was spending his day in bed with Rachel, cuddling, kissing, making love and everything in between. Currently, Finn and Rachel were under Finn's white comforter, looking into each other's eyes while Finn had his arms wrapped around her, and pressing kisses along her neck. Finn noticed Rachel biting her lip, her eyes closing in ecstasy as he nibbled along her earlobe and neck, leaving his mark that he was hers and hers alone. Finn became satisfied with the new mark right under Rachel's ear, looking into her eyes as she continued to bite her lip. Finn chuckled, nuzzling his nose with hers as he held her close to him.

"Well that was fun, wasn't it?" Finn slightly joked as Rachel nodded her head.

"That hickey is going to go away, right?" Rachel's voice was stern, but her face expression was glad that Finn had done it. Finn nodded his head, pressing another kiss to Rachel's lips. "Hmm…" Rachel slightly moaned as Finn parted his kiss from her lips. Finn held onto her, putting his chin in the crook of Rachel's neck as they lay on their sides, breathing in each other's scent.

"God, I love you so much…" Finn muttered while pressing kisses along Rachel's back. Rachel giggled, looking to Finn. "Does New York give you a sexy attitude too, because it's really turning me on?" Rachel leaned her head back onto Finn's chest, her eyes closing as Finn pressed a kiss on her lips. Soon they were in a full on make out session, Finn ending up on top of Rachel as he looked into her eyes. Before they could go any further, there was a knock at the door. Finn groaned in disgust, looking back towards the door. "What do you want?!"

"It's you brother, Kurt." Kurt said from the other side of the door. "Are you decently dressed, both you and Rachel?" Finn cursed under his breath, grabbing his clothes from the floor as Rachel did the same. A moment later, Finn was in his sweatpants and t-shirt while Rachel was wearing an oversized Finn t-shirt with short shorts, her hair tied up into a ponytail.

"Whatever it is, it better be good Kurt." Finn grumbled, heading over to the door and opening it. Kurt looked at Finn and Rachel, becoming excited. "All right, Kurt. What is it?"

"So as you know since I am an intern at Vogue, I get to have the inside scoop on all the parties that they throw." Kurt walked in and sat on the chair adjacent from the bed. "I got us invited to the Vogue Fall Fashion Collection party! Doesn't that sound like fun?"

"I was kind of having fun already, Kurt." Finn crossed his arms, still annoyed with his brother. "I don't think I want to go to a party where there are rich snobs who have to look at clothes for three hours."

"But I can get you clothes from the Vogue vault…and you get to keep the clothing." Kurt looked to Rachel who had her hands folded in her lap. "What do you both think?"

"Well, let's see…" Finn crossed his arms, staring at Kurt. "Going to a Vogue party where you get nice clothes and have to stay for three hours hearing about what materials they use…" Finn raised his hand up as if he was measuring his interest. Finn lifted his hand up to his shoulder, causing Kurt to become slightly excited. "Or…big or…stay here and make love to Rachel the rest of the afternoon." Finn's other hand went over his head, with Kurt realizing that Finn would rather be with Rachel than at a party. "Sorry Kurt…but Finn Jr. and I have spoken."

"Maybe Santana would like to go with you." Rachel insisted. "I mean, she has been sulking all over the house and she won't tell us exactly why. Her going out with you to a Vogue party would do her some good."

"And I'm sure that she'd like to invite Dani." Finn added. "I mean those two are pretty close." Kurt thought about their words, finally sighing.

"All right, I'll ask Santana. Have fun you two…" Kurt waved and closed the door, causing Finn to look back to Rachel.

"Well, he's gone…" Finn took his T-Shirt off and threw it back on the floor—but he noticed Rachel's eyes widen as she held her stomach, something she hadn't done before. Rachel got up from Finn's bed, rushing to the bathroom and the next thing Finn knew, he heard Rachel coughing and vomiting in the toilet. Finn got off the bed rushing over to the bathroom as Rachel came out a few minutes later, wiping her mouth with a tissue. "Rachel, are you okay?" Finn rubbed Rachel's back soothingly.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Rachel shook her head, going to the main bathroom in order to brush her teeth. Finn followed her to the bathroom, leaning against the doorway as Rachel put toothpaste in her mouth.

"If you were nauseous today, why didn't you say something?" Finn questioned. Rachel spat the toothpaste out, staring back at Finn.

"Look, it's nothing." Rachel assured him after rinsing her mouth and going back to him. "I think I'm just getting a little stomach bug. I mean, I feel much better now."

"But that came out of nowhere…" Finn elaborated. "I mean you were fine when we were in bed and all of a sudden you're sick? We shouldn't have had sex today."

"Finn…" Rachel wrapped her arms around Finn's shoulders, staring into his eyes. "I wanted sex just as much as you did. I didn't exactly push you off me, did I?"

"Well…no." Finn thought about Rachel's point. "But still, maybe we should take it easy the rest of the day. You know, sit in front of the T.V., watch a movie, and eat some crackers with ginger ale."

"I'm fine Finn." Rachel chuckled, pressing a passionate kiss to Finn's lips. "It was just a small moment, all right? Everything's fine now."

"Well…are you still nauseous?" Finn sounded a bit skeptical to think about continuing his lovemaking with Rachel, but she jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist while pressing kisses to his neck.

"If I was nauseous, would I have done that?" Rachel smirked. Finn's worries vanished slightly as Rachel continued pressing kisses to his neck and jawline while running a hand through his hair. Finn chuckled, taking off Rachel's gigantic shirt to reveal her bra as they backed into the bathroom.

"I guess not…" Finn murmured as they entered the shower to continue their lovely, magical day.

Kurt entered the living room, spotting Santana looking at a photo album while sitting on the sofa. Kurt had noticed for the past week that Santana had been at odds with everyone in the house. She would complain when Finn had his music too loud when the volume on his laptop was 40%, or when Rachel would have a mess all over the living room from her clothes when in reality, Rachel would have just a shirt that she was planning to wear for the day. She even got on Kurt's case when Kurt suggested that they'd watch Funny Girl and Santana became annoyed that all Kurt and Rachel wanted to do was watch movies that had to do with singing and drama. The last movie that Rachel and Kurt had watched that had to do with singing was West Side Story, and it was three weeks prior. Kurt had to find the underlying cause of why Santana was feeling so defensive. He just wanted to know why. Kurt sat next to Santana, seeing that she was staring over at Kurt, closing the photo album and crossing her arms.

"What? Can't you see that I'm reliving the glory days, Porcelain?" Santana chided. Kurt ignored the fact Santana called him 'Porcelain' and decided to cut to the chase.

"Santana, I wanted to ask you something." Kurt sat up, looking at Santana. "I have a Vogue party that I was invited to and I want to personally invite you to come along with me. Before you say no, there's going to be dresses that you can wear and you get to keep the dress you choose to wear to the event. I asked Finn and Rachel…and judging by the bathroom, Finn and Rachel would rather stay here than go to a fancy party. So what do you say Santana? Are you up for some excitement?"

"Gee, that depends. Can Brittany come?" Santana bitterly asked. Kurt raised an eyebrow to Santana, not sure why she was so upset. "I guess not because Brittany would rather leave breakup notes than even come and talk to me to my face!"

"Wait, Brittany broke up with you?" Kurt asked, staring at his friend. "When?"

"Remember when she came to visit from New York?" Santana's voice was still full of hurt but she wasn't as hostile as she was before. "Apparently she thought that I had more feelings for Dani than I had for her…" Kurt wrapped his arm around Santana, engulfing her into a hug.

"Santana, you don't really have just feelings for Brittany, do you?" Kurt questioned. Santana looked to Kurt, shrugging her shoulders.

"I mean Dani is an awesome person and Brittany is also equally awesome." Santana admitted. "I guess I found myself falling more for Dani than I did for Brittany…and that's why Brittany's gone and I'm alone."

"You don't have to be alone…" Kurt whispered. "Come with me to the Vogue party. You can bring Dani."

"Really?" Santana became interested.

"Really!" Kurt agreed. "I mean that's where you and Dani can possibly hit it off…in fashionable clothing. You don't even have to thank me for it. Consider it just what friends do."

"So are you sure Finn and Rachel wouldn't want to go?" Santana pointed towards the bathroom, where she heard slight moans although they had the showerhead on.

"They'd spend all week shacked up in here if they could." Kurt chuckled. Santana laughed slightly, finally relenting and nodding her head.

"All right, I will take you up on your offer and I will go with you and Dani to the Vogue collection party." Santana grinned. Kurt put an arm around Santana's shoulder, giving her a grin.

"You are not going to regret this." Kurt said. "When we are done with you and Dani, you are going to be the queens of the Vogue ball."

"And I really hope that you are right." Santana added, giving Kurt a small smile. She actually was looking forward to going to a party with Kurt and Dani…and who knew where the night would take her and Dani.

The next morning, Finn sat at the kitchen table reading the New York Daily News, searching through the classified sections in order to start preparing as to what kind of job he would like to do as soon as he finished college. Finn continued skimming through the paper, realizing that Rachel had come into the kitchen as she sat down across from him. Finn looked up to see Rachel sitting there with a tired smile, meaning that she might not have gotten a lot of sleep.

"Good morning, babe." Finn pressed a kiss to Rachel's cheek. Rachel continued to nod at him as she looked at the paper in his hands. "Did you want to read the paper while I make us some breakfast? We could have cereal, toast, cream of wheat…"

"How about some eggs?" Rachel interjected. Finn's eyes widened at Rachel's suggestion, letting out a nervous laugh.

"Um, babe…I thought you were vegan or…vegetarian…" Finn always seemed to confuse words, and he had a feeling he did it again right there. "Are you sure that you want to eat eggs?"

"I'm positive." Rachel vigorously nodded her head. "I really want eggs…and maybe some bacon." Finn continued to become suspicious as he got up from the table. Realizing that Rachel wasn't in a mood to argue, he simply shrugged his shoulders and went to the stove to get started on breakfast.

"All right, eggs and bacon coming up." Finn turned on the stove, heading to the cabinets to retrieve one of the pots. Finn went into the fridge to grab the carton of eggs, putting a couple of them into the pot. Rachel smelled the eggs, suddenly feeling her stomach turn. She wasn't sure what was going on with her—but she suddenly felt like she had to throw up. Rachel knew she wasn't going to make it to the bathroom, so she went to the garbage can and emptied her contents there. Finn's head whiplashed towards Rachel, realizing that she was throwing up as he dropped the egg shells and went to her side. After Rachel finished vomiting, she wiped her mouth with the tissue that Finn handed to her, causing Rachel to become a bit surprised. "Rach…are you okay?" Finn wanted to know. Rachel stared at Finn, thinking about the question.

"I…I think I'm coming down with the flu or something." Rachel weakly said. "But I still want the breakfast though." Finn warmly smiled at Rachel, but there was something nagging Finn in the back of his mind about Rachel's health. Something was wrong.

"Rachel, have you ever considered going to the doctor to check if everything is fine?" Finn questioned. "I mean, there could be something wrong and the doctor could give you medicine for it."

"Finn, I'm okay." Rachel sighed. "I just need to eat something and lie down."

"All right…" Finn said, helping Rachel up as she made her way to the bathroom. "Do you want me to bring you some tea and crackers too?"

"If you don't mind, baby." Rachel answered back, causing Finn to blush slightly. Finn went back to making the eggs, but while doing that he had to figure something was wrong with her—he just wasn't sure what.

Rachel sat down on the bed, turning on the television to one of the trash talk shows that were on, waiting for Finn to come back with breakfast. As Rachel looked on her desk, she noticed the black notebook—her black notebook where she wrote down the dates she had her period. Rachel took her book from the desk, staring at it as she flipped open a couple of pages. As Rachel skimmed through the book, she realized that there was a six-week time frame since she had her last period. Rachel put the book down for a moment, thinking about her symptoms, the fact she and Finn had sex constantly since they got back together and her sudden craving for eggs and bacon. Rachel didn't want to worry Finn, thinking that it was probably nothing. Maybe she really did have the flu—but this could have been another possibility if her symptoms didn't subside within a week. Rachel closed her black book, hearing Finn knock on the door with a tray of breakfast. Finn walked over, putting the breakfast in front of Rachel and giving her a quick kiss on her cheek. Rachel smiled at Finn as if there was nothing going on, him climbing into bed with her as they cuddled and watched television.

"So what are we watching?" Finn asked as Rachel thought to herself for a moment. Should she tell Finn her suspicions or should she keep them a secret in case it was nothing? Finally, Rachel released a sigh, shaking her head with a smile.

"We're watching nothing." Rachel put the tray to the side, then straddled Finn's waist, noticing that he was staring up at her. Finn gave her a slight grin as Rachel smiled back at him, pressing a kiss to his lips while Finn ran his hands on her back, down towards her gown where he began to undo the bow.

"I thought you were hungry." Finn motioned to the food before being captured in a kiss by Rachel.

"I was…but I think my appetite grew a little bit more for something else…" Rachel whispered in Finn's ear as Finn went towards the drawer to grab a couple of condoms. Rachel noticed the packages of the condoms sitting on the dresser, her fears about why her period was late returning. I'm not sure that those are going to help now…

Santana spent the afternoon in the art gallery with Dani, working on Dani's latest sculpture. Although Santana and Dani usually had a lot of fun working at the gallery, today was a little bit different. Santana was worried about the whole Dani and Brittany thing. Dani and Brittany were different, but Santana wasn't sure who she wanted to be with more. Santana hung a painting on the wall, staring over at the Dani to make sure it was positioned in the right place.

"Is okay here?" Santana questioned. Dani looked up from one of her canvases, looking at the painting Santana had.

"Yeah, right there is good." Dani nodded her head, looking back down to the picture. Dani considered talking to Santana about what was going on since Santana had been a bit distant lately. "Hey, Santana…do you mind if we talk for a minute?"

"Sure, what about?" Santana wondered, stuffing her hands in her pockets. "Is something wrong?"

"Well, it kind of has to do with the reason that you've kind of been ignoring me." Dani shrugged her shoulders. "I kind of feel a bit hurt, you know?"

"It's not you, Dani it's just…" Santana took a deep breath, considering if she should continue. "Well, Brittany broke up with me."

"What? Why did she break up with you?" Dani felt bad for her friend. Santana felt her eyes water slightly, shrugging her shoulders.

"I don't know." Santana said. "I think that she's just jealous of you and me."

"Why would she be jealous of you and me?" Dani questioned. "I mean, it's not like we were going out or anything."

"I know we weren't going out." Santana said. "But, she thought that I had feelings for you."

"Well…do you have feelings for me?" Dani asked. Santana had the urge to scream out loud that she had feelings for Dani, but she wasn't sure if she could even think about getting in another relationship at this moment. Santana sighed, shrugging her shoulders.

"Um, there's something I wanted to invite you to." Santana changed the subject abruptly. "You see my friend Kurt works as an intern for and he got invited to this insane party where they reveal the fall fashion collection. He said I could invite a friend. Did you want to come?"

"Me? To a party?" Dani sounded a bit shocked.

"Yeah, I mean I want you to come with me." Santana assured her. She walked over to Dani, giving Dani a pouting face. "This would mean a lot Dani…"

"Santana…" Dani couldn't help but chuckle at Santana, finally relenting. "Fine, I'll go with you. But I have nothing to wear."

"That's no problem." Santana guaranteed her. "Because Kurt said that we could raid the Vogue vault and whatever we like…it's ours." Dani's eyes widened, her smile expanding.

"Then I guess I am going to have to accept the offer." Santana and Dani squealed, becoming excited that they were going to a Vogue party—and they had a chance to make a fashion statement.

Rachel sat in the auditorium by herself the next day, needing some alone time to think things over. She knew that she was going to have to confront her fears eventually. Rachel was feeling a little sicker than yesterday, making her think that maybe it wasn't the flu. Maybe she was having—morning sickness. No, Rachel thought to herself. I can't be pregnant. I mean, Finn and I used protection every time. We've been very careful…although not as careful as I'd like to have been since I forgot to take my birth control the other day. Oh god, what if I am pregnant? I can't take care of a child…and I can't tell Finn. I don't know…

"Rachel?" Rachel was snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Melissa, Celina and Vicky standing in front of her, raising an eyebrow. Rachel gave a weak smile towards the three girls, not wanting to worry them.

"Is everything okay, Rachel?" Celina questioned, sitting down next to her. "Did someone do something you? Do we have to get Finn?"

"What? No. No one has to go get Finn." Rachel quickly said, shaking her head. "I mean…Finn doesn't have to worry about me. I'm fine."

"All right, just wanted to make sure." Melissa said, patting Rachel's back.

"Hey, did you guys hear that Cindy, the girl that's in Cassandra's class has a bun in the oven?" Vicky looked to Melissa and Celina, causing Rachel to become uncomfortable.

"She has a bun in the oven? No way!" Vicky sat down, looking at Melissa and Celina who were in shock.

"Yeah, she has a bun in the oven." Vicky smirked. "They said that she was screwing that junior, Brody and the senior, Garrett. Now she doesn't know which one is the father." Rachel felt her stomach knot up inside, a pang of nausea coming to her. Rachel took a deep breath, looking away from the others.

"Rachel? You look a little green and pale." Celina said. "Are you sure that you're not getting sick?"

"Um, I might just have a stomach bug." Rachel gave a fake sweet smile. Or a bun in the oven. Finn entered the auditorium with Dustin, heading towards the stage when Finn noticed Rachel sitting in one of the seats. Rachel looked to Finn, giving him a weak smile while Finn's suspicions returned.

"All right Finn Harmonic." Finn clapped his hands, sitting on the stage while keeping his eyes on Rachel. When Rachel didn't look back at him, he turned to the other members. "Now, College Sectionals are in December so we have three months to practice. That means we have to get more members and we have to be sharp. But I want to bring to attention some song choices."

"All right, so what are we singing?" Melissa seemed excited while Vicky rolled her eyes towards Finn.

"Well, that's what you have to decide. You choose a song based on the weeks topic. And this week is…fear." Finn smirked. "So you're going to sing a song about your deepest fear. All right, I need to think about it…and then you're going to sing to the club during the week. Sound good?"

"Sound good Finn!" Melissa nodded her head to Finn.

"Hey, did you hear that Cindy is pregnant, Finn?" Celina told Finn. Finn crossed his arms, nodding his head.

"Yeah, I heard about it." Finn nodded his head. "I mean it's really interesting. I can't imagine someone who could be pregnant at a performing art school, like how are they going to continue their education if they're going to start showing in like four-five months." Finn's words had Rachel cringe in her seat, her stomach churning. Finn noticed Rachel's uneasiness, causing him to give her an apprehensive look. "Anyway, think about your songs and we'll talk about it. Rach, can I talk to you for a minute?" Rachel got up from her seat, walking with Finn to the corner of the room. "Are you okay? I mean how's your stomach doing?"

"What?" Rachel shook her head, still staring at Finn. Did Finn put all of the symptoms together on his own?

"Your stomach? Are you still nauseous?" Finn asked, realizing Rachel becoming antsy.

"Oh, that…yeah I'm still a little nauseous." Rachel said, looking to Finn. "I'm sure it will go away soon."

"Babe, have you considered going to a doctor?" Finn sounded a bit worried. "I mean you're eating things that you don't normally eat, you're sick to your stomach and then you're fine…you're beginning to worry me."

"Finn…" Rachel thought it might have been best to tell Finn the truth here. Maybe he would understand. "I…" Seeing Finn's face full of worry led Rachel to believe that she couldn't tell Finn. "I'm sure I'm fine. If it will help then I'll go to the doctor for you…okay?" Rachel ran a hand through Finn's hair as he nodded his head. He grabbed her hand, playing with her fingers.

"All right." Finn pressed a kiss on Rachel's forehead as she sighed. "Why don't you go home and get some rest? I'll be home after I'm done with the Glee Club. Okay?" Rachel nodded her head, pressing a kiss to Finn' lips and heading out the door of the auditorium, not realizing that Finn was still staring back at her with interest. As Rachel made her way out of the auditorium, she crossed her arms across her chest, letting out shaky breaths. She hated lying to Finn, but she wasn't ready to tell him. Not yet. But still…Finn should have known. Rachel hated battling her conscious, but not telling Finn was something she had to do for now.

{Scene starts with Rachel walking along the hallways staring at everyone with her arms crossing from her arms to her stomach, feeling self-conscious}

I want you to know that I'm happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me

Is she perverted like me

Would she make out with you in a theatre

Does she speak eloquently

And would she have your baby

I'm sure she'd make an excellent mother

{Scene changes to Rachel going to the pharmacy, looking for pregnancy tests as she sighs}

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide

And every time you speak her name

Does she know that you told me, you'd hold me

Until you died, till you died

But you're still alive

{Rachel stands on line getting ridiculed looks from people as she looks over at them}

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave me

You, you, you oughta know

{Rachel sits in the loft looking down at the pregnancy test as she goes to the bathroom, sitting down on the toilet as she waits for the results to come back}

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face, how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you screw her

{Rachel sits on the bed as she looks out the window, feeling a bit worried}

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide

And every time you speak her name

Does she know that you told me, you'd hold me

Until you died, till you died

But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave me

You, you, you oughta know

{Rachel sits on the sofa, still waiting for the timer to go off on her phone as she looks absentmindedly at the television}

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me

And I'm not gonna fade

As soon as you close your eyes and you know it

And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back

I hope you feel it, can you feel it

{Rachel paces in the kitchen, goes to the living room, then to the bedroom as Rachel becomes worried}

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave me

You, you, you oughta know

{The timer on Rachel's phone goes off as she goes to get it. Rachel covers her hand with her mouth as she looks at the results, sliding down the wall and sitting on the floor}

Santana, Kurt and Dani entered the Vogue Fall Fashion Collection gala in Vogue clothing that Kurt had chosen for both of them in the vault, the three of them feeling fresh and dapper. Kurt saw his boss Isabelle Wright coming towards him, a warm smile towards Dani and Santana.

"What a beautiful dress you're both wearing!" Isabelle gushed towards Santana and Dani.

"Thank you." Dani politely smiled to Isabelle, twirling around in her dress. "I actually feel like a princess in this thing."

"Embrace it my dear." Isabelle smiled to Dani. "You look amazing." Isabelle's gaze turned back to Kurt as she released a grin. "Kurt dear, you didn't introduce me to your lovely friends."

"Santana, Dani this is my boss and the head of , Isabelle Wright." Kurt looked from his friends to his boss. "Santana and I go back to High School while we met Dani in New York a couple of weeks ago."

"So how do you like the New York experience, Santana?" Isabelle faced her attention to Santana. "I mean, I know that it must be a change."

"It's a huge change." Santana admitted. "But sometimes a girl from Lima needs a little bit of change. A change would do you good."

"Isabelle!" one of Isabelle's workers came over to talk to her—and something was bothering him. "The speakers in the iPod dock blew out."

"Really?" Isabelle's normally chipper demeanor vanished, looking at the broken iPod radio. "How are we going to get the music going for the party now? Everyone is expecting an extravaganza."

"Um, Isabelle." Kurt raised his hand up shyly. "Santana and I have some musical training. We were in Glee Club."

"Oh really?" Isabelle looked to Kurt and Santana. "If you can save this gala Kurt then you would be my little prince charming!"

"And we will!" Kurt led Santana and Dani over to the stage, getting up on it as the three of them whispered to one another. "So now we need a song to rock my boss's socks off."

"And I think I have the perfect one." Dani turned to the band members and spoke to them about the song choice. She looked over to the people at the gala, hearing the guitar taking over. Although they were skeptical at first, Kurt and Santana agreed that this was the way to go, joining Dani in the song as the three of them gave a rocking performance—one that no one would ever forget.

[Dani]

Shake, shake, shake the glitter!

[Dani, Santana and Kurt]

Give me some cash out, baby

Give me some cash out, baby

Santana, Dani and Kurt noticed that people were clapping during the gala, causing the three friends to look at one another with a smile. Santana should have known that what Dani had suggested would have been a good idea. Kurt, Dani and Santana got off the stage as Isabelle walked over to them, simply beaming.

"Kurt! Santana! Dani! That was amazing!" Isabelle complimented them. "When you said you had vocal training, I had no idea it was that kind of vocal training."

"Well, aren't we full of surprises?" Kurt chuckled as Santana and Dani eyed one another.

"Do you think you three can come back to our Vogue Christmas gala and sing for us then? Who needs an iPod with random people singing when I could have you three sing for us?" Isabelle questioned. Kurt quickly nodded his head while Santana and Dani continued to look at each other.

"All right, but next time I'm going to have to bring my other friends Finn and Rachel to the party." Kurt added. "They also love singing and dancing and were the best duet partners in our High School Glee Club."

"Well then I am looking forward to meeting Finn and Rachel." Isabelle grinned. As Kurt and Isabelle talked, Santana and Dani stared at one another, feeling tension—in a good way.

After the Vogue party, Santana and Dani walked down the Manhattan streets heading back to the art gallery where Dani had to finish working on another watercolor. Santana gazed at the tall buildings, realizing that the New York skyline looked different at night than it did during the day. Santana noticed Dani was staring at her, wondering if she should say her thoughts. Dani thought that it was now or never. She had to ask Santana the big question that was looming over them.

"So, Santana…" Dani cleared her throat, noticing Santana was looking over at her. "I wanted to thank you for tonight. I mean going to a Vogue party like that was amazing and it was a different experience than just spending time working on art projects at the gallery, you know what I mean?" Santana nodded her head releasing a sigh.

"Yeah, it was different than what I was used to." Santana agreed. "I mean, when we sing we don't normally get to wear fancy Vogue dresses for rich people. But I had to admit that it was fun. It's not my normal cup of tea though."

"Yeah…" Dani turned to Santana, her eyes full of wanting to know the truth. "Look…we both know how this is going to be. You have feelings for me and I have feelings for you…so why…aren't we together yet?" Santana knew that the conversation was going to make a turn like that, letting out a slight sigh.

"Look Dani…I had the best time with you and I love being with you…" Santana sighed, folding her hands. "But I haven't really gotten over Brittany."

"Santana, you were the one that abandoned Brittany." Dani said. "You were the one that ignored her when she was here and now you're pretending that she's the most important thing in your life."

"Brittany is the most important thing in my life." Santana's voice became a bit stern.

"She was." Dani used the same tone towards Santana. "She was the most important thing but if she was so important then why did you ignore her? She needed you…and you chose me when she was here. Admit it Santana…you chose me without realizing it but you don't even see it. There's a saying that if you like two people to go with the second…because if you really loved the first person then you wouldn't need a reason to go to the second person." Santana stood there, still staring Dani into her eyes. "What are you afraid of, Santana? You're in New York now, in the most magical city in the world. Your friends Finn and Rachel looked really happy together here…"

"Finn and Rachel are different." Santana said. "They knew each other since High School…and I knew Brittany since High School. I want Brittany…"

"But Brittany doesn't want you right now, does she?" Dani asked. "Because you made it rather clear that you would rather hang out with me than hang out with her. Look, Santana…you need to make a choice. Are you going to leap into a new world or are you going to sulk in your old world, wishing for things to be the same when they clearly aren't? Times change and people change. And…if you ever decide on what you want, I'll be in this art gallery working on my portrait because it has to be ready by the end of the week. There's a big gala coming up. Goodnight, Santana." Dani turned away, walking down the street towards the art gallery as Santana stood there dumbfounded. Dani was wrong. Santana knew exactly what she wanted—or did she?

"Rachel! I'm home!" Finn yelled as he opened the door of the loft, staring around and hoping that Rachel was somewhere there. "Rachel?" Finn put down his backpack as he headed towards Rachel's bedroom, where he saw Rachel lying there watching television. Finn walked over to the other side of the bed, laying down next to her and wrapping an arm around her waist, pressing a kiss on her cheek. "Hey…are you okay?"

"Peachy…" Rachel muttered, but her voice was far from chipper. Finn sat up a bit, looking at Rachel with a concerned look.

"Rachel, what's wrong?" Finn's voice was filled with worry. "Is something wrong?" Rachel got up from the bed, getting out of Finn's grasp as she walked over to the bathroom, Finn getting up from the bed and following her. "Rachel. What's going on?" Rachel looked to the bathroom sink, not staring back at Finn.

"Finn…" Rachel muttered softly, wiping the tears that were streaming down her face. Finn walked over to her, putting his hands on Rachel's shoulders, which only made Rachel sob even more.

"Rachel, will you please tell me what's going on?" Finn whispered, pulling her closer to him and wrapping his arms around her waist. Finn's eye wandered to the trashcan, noticing that there were tissues wrapped around something that looked like a stick. Finn released his grip from Rachel, walking to the garbage can and picking up what caught his interest. Finn unwrapped the toilet paper, seeing the pregnancy test that was in his hand. He observed the sign on the test, turning back to Rachel. "Rachel?" Rachel started sobbing uncontrollably causing Finn to walk over to her and wrap his arms around her. "It's okay…it's okay…" Finn rubbed her back as she continued to cry. "I'm not going anywhere…it's okay." Finn and Rachel spent the rest of the night sitting on the bathroom floor as Rachel cried and Finn holding her, letting her know that everything was going to be okay. But to be honest, Finn wasn't sure if everything was going to be all right. If Finn could admit it…he was just as petrified as Rachel was.

[Santana]

Pictures in my pocket

Are faded from the washer

I can barely just make out your face

Food you saved for later

In my refrigerator

It's been too long since later never came

I know, one day eventually

Yeah I know, one day I'll have to let it all go

But I keep it just in case

Yeah I keep it just in case

{Santana looks at the art picture in the corner that Dani painted, staring over at it with a smile}

In case, you can't find what you're looking for

In case, you're missing what you had before

In case you change your mind, I'll be waiting here

In case you just want to come home

{Scene changes to Rachel sitting at the doctor's office with Finn with an arm around her shoulders}

[Santana]

Strong enough to leave you

Weak enough to need you

Cared enough to let you walk away

I took that dirty jacket

From the trash right where you left it

Cause I couldn't stand to see it go to waste

I know, one day eventually

Yeah I know, one day I'll have to let it all go

But I keep it just in case

Yeah I keep it just in case

{Rachel sees the doctor coming out and handing her an envelope with the test results as Finn stares at her with a supportive look}

In case, you can't find what you're looking for

In case, you're missing what you had before

In case you change your mind, I'll be waiting here

In case you just want to come home

{Scene changes to Santana looking at her Cheerios uniform in the loft, thinking to herself}

[Santana]

In case you're looking in that mirror one day

And miss my arms, how they wrapped around your waist

I say that you can love me again

Even if it isn't the case

You don't find what you're looking for

You're missing my love

{Santana grabs her jacket as she starts running towards the art gallery}

You don't find what you're looking for

In case, you're missing what you had before

In case you change your mind, I'll be waiting here

In case you just want to come home

{Scene changes as Dani paints a picture and Santana runs in the art gallery, staring over at Dani}

"Santana?" Dani became confused, seeing Santana walking over to her. "What…what are you doing here? It's Saturday."

"I know!" Santana nodded her head. "I thought about the words that you said and…you're right." Santana said. "I need to move on from Brittany. If I wasn't good enough for her then I have to be good enough for someone else." Dani's smile widened while still giving Santana a small smile.

"So did you figure out who you could be good enough for?" Dani questioned, noticing that her face was inches apart from Santana's. Santana leaned into Dani, pressing her lips to hers. Dani let out a small smile, holding Santana closer to her as they kissed. Santana parted from Dani, releasing a small beam.

"Did that answer your question?" Santana grinned from ear to ear. Dani nodded her head quickly, sharing the same grin Santana had. Santana and Dani kissed once more, as Dani led Santana over to one of her paintings.

"Would you like to work on one of my paintings with me?" Dani asked in a chipper tone. Santana grabbed a paintbrush with some paint on it, skipping over to Dani.

"Let's paint this bad picture up." Santana and Dani gazed into each other's eyes once more, and then began to work on the painting together. They weren't sure where this was going to end up, but for now Santana needed a change. She needed to stop dwelling on the past and needed to start looking forward to the future.

Rachel and Finn sat at the kitchen table that morning, looking down at the manila envelope with Rachel's test results. Rachel didn't open it when she came home from the doctor and Finn decided not to press the issue until she was ready. However, Rachel was sure today was day. She was going to find out whether or not she was pregnant. She was hoping the test she took was a false positive because she wanted to live her life still. She didn't want to end up having a baby so young and throwing away all her chances like some of the other girls at NYADA. Rachel gazed at Finn, seeing that he was just as antsy as she was as he stared down at the envelope.

"Are you ready to open the envelope?" Rachel nervously asked Finn. Finn nodded his head, staring over at Rachel.

"Yeah, I'm ready to see the test results." Finn folded his hands together, his eyes locked on the girl he loved. "I just want to let you know, regardless of what that paper says, I will be there for you. I'm not going to bail just because there could be a kid in nine months. I love you Rachel…whether you're pregnant or not." Rachel felt a smile creep on her lips, patting Finn's hands reassuringly.

"I love you too Finn." Rachel softly said. Rachel went to the folder, opening it and taking the results out of the envelope. Rachel scanned the results, putting a hand over her mouth while Finn's eyes widened.

"What…what does it say?" Rachel looked down at the paper, and back to Finn. Rachel showed Finn the paper—and neither of them said a single word as they both sat there in silence.
