There was a tension and a nervousness hanging in the air between the two of them, but Quinn couldn't shake the feeling that there was... well, something else, too. Solidarity seemed like a good word for it. There was very much a feeling that if this test did prove what Quinn suspected, Jeremy would be there beside her to see this whole thing through. He didn't seem the type of guy to knock a girl up and then run like hell. This was a huge thing... Maybe even a nightmare, if things went badly. Quinn hadn't been sure if she even wanted kids, and now here was this huge question of what was going to happen. She'd never been a fan of the idea of termination, but she was in law school, and when she'd thought she was going to have to go this alone, the realization had hit her very quickly that it might be her only real option that made any sense. But she just seemed to know through talking to Jeremy, if only for a short while, that he wasn't the kind of guy to run away from a situation he'd been part of creating and leave the consequences to the other person involved. She could only hope that, if they decided to go through with this, have the baby, and move on with things together, they'd manage to work it well for the sake of their kid. She hardly knew him, and she wasn't deluded enough to think that this might lead to anything more than two adults trying to raise a child. She didn't think for a minute that they'd end up falling in love or anything ridiculous like that, because life just didn't work that way. This wasn't like the olden days were a pregnancy automatically meant a marriage, nor did Quinn want it to be. She liked this guy. He seemed genuinely sweet and kind, and like someone she would've dated in normal circumstances. But that didn't mean she was ready for anything more than figuring out what came next if she really was pregnant. "I can understand that... But maybe when it's right, sometimes you really do just know. You meet that person that changes your whole life and your whole way of looking at things, and nothing is ever the same again. I don't think that's the way for everybody by any means, but maybe that's what it was with Kurt and Blaine. Maybe what they have is so right that it just clicked, at least for Blaine. For Kurt, it was never not going to be a struggle on some level, because of his condition. But he's opened up to Blaine more than he's ever opened up to a guy, and that's been... something really special for all of us."
"No..." she said softly, stepping just a little closer to him and giving his arm a warm squeeze. "Hey, listen... If this goes the way I'm kind of thinking it's going to go, we're going to have a lot more than just life stories to share. This is a huge mess, Jeremy. I get that. I'm in law school for Christ's sake. This isn't something that I was ever planning on dealing with at this stage in my life. I don't expect you to be all, 'Oh em gee, yay, baby!' right now. That's not... Neither of us would've wanted this to happen this way. Trust me, I thought if I ever got pregnant, it would all be planned, and with someone that I was married to, or well on my way to marrying anyway. This is just kind of the way the cookie crumbled, and we'll just have to figure out how to go with it as we go. That's really the only choice we have at this point. As much as that sucks, it's just the way it is."
