How did this end up happening, Sam thought as he sunk down into the armchair in his ratty apartment, how did he manage to get his college professor pregnant? No, not just pregnant, pregnant with twins it turns out. He raked a hand through his hair and tried to remember how they got to this point, it all seemed like such a blur; all he had really been planning to do was stay behind after class to ask if Professor Anderson could recommend a good tutor for him. The next thing he knew they were back at his apartment and he had his Professor bent over the coffee table, then three hours and a couple more go's later he had the name of a tutor and his teacher was limping out of his apartment with a smile on his face. Sam had contacted the tutor the next day and managed to turn his D in English literature into a low B and Professor Anderson and he had never seen each other outside of class again.
Until today that is, nearly six months after the incident and two months into the fall semester, he had been leaving his creative writing class when he saw a familiar mop of dark curls exiting the building across the street. He had let his curiosity get the best of him as he walked closer to get a better look at the other man, and then nearly swallowed his tongue when he had taken in the man's full form as he walked towards the faculty parking lot. His former professor was moving slowly, one hand wrapped tightly around his messenger bag and the other hand placed low on the swell of his belly. Sam had been in such a state of shock that he had not noticed when he was spotted and the shorter man had altered his route and began walking towards him. Sam was only pulled from his mind when the Professor Anderson or Blaine as he had asked to be called, had touched his arm and softly informed him that they should go somewhere and talk. He had followed the man to his car and nodded slowly when he was asked if he still lived in the same apartment building, his wide eyes never leaving the other man's very obviously pregnant belly.
"I don't expect anything from you", Blaine had said as he slowly lowered himself onto Sam's couch, his hand creeping back up to rest on his swollen stomach, "Frankly, it would be better if you didn't get involved, if anyone were to find out that I'm pregnant by a student I would lose my job and you would get expelled."
"It is mine then?" Sam asked miserably, he had assumed but having confirmation made the terror he was feeling multiply infinitely.
"They", Blaine corrected, giving Sam a sad smile when the younger man's eyes had snapped up from where they had been staring intently at his belly again, "I'm having twins, and they are yours."
Sam felt sick to his stomach, "Oh God", He mumbled before clamping a hand over his mouth and darting into his bathroom.
Once he was finished emptying the contents of his stomach, he registered a hand rubbing circles between his shoulder blades and after he flushed the toilet and began to lean back a glass of water appeared in front of his face. He looked up to find Blaine behind him, leaning against the wall of the cramped bathroom and looking slightly green himself as he offered a weak smile.
"Sorry", Sam muttered after he had washed his mouth out.
"Don't be, I've been sick ever since I found out, though they tell me that's just the morning sickness", Blaine attempted to joke softly as they made their way back towards the small living room.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked, a concerned look on his face, as he watched the other man move into the room at a slightly slower pace than he remembered before lowering himself back on the couch, his hand once again coming to rest on his belly, rubbing softly.
"I'm fine, promise", Blaine replied, "The babies are healthy and I'm healthy, just not built to do this so I'm a little tired and achy, carrying twins amplifies all the symptoms, but still I'm fine."
"I'm freaking out a little right now", Sam admitted after several minutes of silence, his eyes still trained on Blaine's belly.
"I noticed", Blaine smiled, "And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't either, but as you can see I've had a little more time to deal with all of this. I still stand by what I said earlier, I don't expect anything from you, it was a onetime thing and you were my student at the time which makes it wrong on so many levels."
Sam nodded, finally sitting down on the other end of the couch as he tried to make sense of all the thoughts currently racing through his head but coming up with nothing to say. He was angry that he was only finding out about this now, nearly six months later, and angry with himself for having sex with a teacher to begin with. He was also torn between taking the out that Blaine was offering him, continuing with his life as though this was not happening, and nagging voice in the back of his mind reminding him of how all he had ever wanted was to be a father. Before he could register what he was doing, Sam slide across the couch, his hand reaching out but stuttering to stop just above the curve of Blaine's stomach, his eye's flicked up to meet Blaine's and the other man sighed, taking Sam's hand in his own and placing it on his stomach. Blaine could read the emotions flickering across the young man's face as one of their children moved underneath his palm and he could see the moment Sam made his decision.
Blaine squeezed his hand bringing his attention upwards so he could make eye contact, "You don't have to do this", He whispered, "You can walk away."
Sam shook his head though, "No one has to know they are mine but I'm not walking away."
"Okay", Blaine whispered, seeing the resolve on his former students face, "This is tricky though, we will have to be careful. I'm sorry but I don't think we can risk you coming to doctor's appointments or being there when they are born, I'll keep you up to date on everything of course and we can set up some kind of arrangement for after they are born."
"I don't want to, like, take them away from you or anything", Sam said, feeling the tension rolling off of the other man, "I just want to be able to see them, make sure they know both of their parents. "
Blaine nodded and soon after that, they had exchanged contact information and Blaine had left after mentioning something about emailing ultrasound pictures. Sam sat there for nearly two hours trying to wrap his head around everything that had just happened and trying to figure out what he was supposed to do now. He managed to pull himself together enough to finish his homework but skipped dinner, his stomach still feeling a little weak, and went to bed early though he tossed and turned most of the night, images of Blaine and babies floating through his head.
