A/N: My reasoning behind re-writing this story is so it flows more smoothly, builds a nice connection between Faberry, and so it doesn't seemed rushed. This is AU, high school Faberry.

Ryan Brendon Berry was the schools geek. He wore glasses, had braces, and dressed funny. No one could understand how he got the head cheerleader Quinn Lucy Fabray. All their peers knew was one day they didn't know each other, and the next day Quinn was smiling at Ryan with love.

Chapter 1: How it started

Ryan was walking to his locker when he heard crying coming from the girls locker room. He falters in step thinking if he should ignore the crying girl or not. Ryan sighs and opens the door.

What he sees shocks him. There sitting on the bench crying her heart out was Quinn Fabray. Ryan pushes his glasses up before speaking tentatively.

"Q-Quinn are you okay?"

Quinn looks at Ryan then wipes her tears away.

"I'm fine Ryan."

Ryan notices two things. The first is she said his name and the second is she sounds tired.

"Y-you know m-my name?"

"I just said it didn't I."

"Well yes you did but I didn't think you even knew I existed."

"Well its kind of hard to ignore some one with your fashion sense or lack thereof." Quinn bit out bitterly.

"I'll just look past the insult. Is there a reason why you were crying?" Ryan moves to sit down next to the blonde.

Quinn keeps her gaze on the floor not wanting to see the pity that she knew would be in his eyes. "It's not something I want to share with you."

"I promise not to judge you. I am a great listener I assure you." The brunette tries to say with as reassurance as he can.

Quinn looks at his earnest and sincere face. She sighs and begins to speak, "I found out this morning that I'm not pregnant."

The geek lets the cheerleader words sink in. He had to admit he was confused about what Quinn had said and decided to voice his confusion. "Did you want to be pregnant?"

Quinn hears the confusion in his voice and laughs. "Your cute. And no I didn't. I just feel kind of disappointed that I'm not. At first I was sad that I might be now I'm sad that I'm not. Do you understand?"

Ryan nods his head vehemently.

"I understand fully Quinn. You started to be accustomed to the thought of parent hood for it to be ripped away. If you don't mind me asking but who was the father."

Quinn blanches at the question but answers anyway,"I don't know. It was at one of Pucks parties."

"Okay. Quinn if you ever want to talk then I'll be in one of two places. The auditorium or the choir room." Ryan stands up with Quinn following suit.

"Thanks Ryan."

Quinn hugs the nerdy boy and feels a warm fuzzy feeling in her stomach. She doesn't pull back scared but instead embraces it by hugging Ryan tighter. They pull apart when the bell rings signaling the end of class.

The two walk out of the locker room and goes there separate ways. Quinn walks down the hall trying to hold onto that fuzzy feeling a little bit longer.

Hey what's the worst that can when you start having more than friendly feelings towards a guy like that. Quinn thinks.

And if she was truly honest with herself she would have noticed that she always.
