3 Years After Glee Ended…..

Lea is never sick. She has what she likes to call "a super immune system". She only gets a cold about 3 times a year, and when she does, it lasts for about 3 days. But, this time, the feeling never went away. It felt like a rock just sat in the pit of her stomach. Even at this early morning, she feels like she could pass out.

Lea let out a gasp. "Cory! Cory! Hurry wake up!" She exclaimed, shaking her boyfriend.

Cory shot up. "Lea! God, what is wrong!" His face turned into a frown when he saw her running to the bathroom for the 3rd time in the past 2 days. He let out a heavy breath and ran to the bathroom to hold back her long, brown hair and rub her weak back. After she was finished puking her guts out, he groaned softly. "Lee, I can't wait until you get better. What do you think is wrong?"

Lea's eyes filled with tears. "I don't know, Cory. I really want this to stop. I just want to sleep!" she let out a cry before digging her face into his sleep shirt. "Do you really have to go to work today?" She whined lifting her face to see Cory's chocolate eyes.

"Yes, my Princess." His gaze was set on the alarm clock. 5:00 a.m. . He needed to be at work in less then 2 hours. "The band can't play without their drummer. Especially today. We are recording our new album."

"But, your Princess is at home, sick as a dog. She can't go to work today.." She cried with her lip pouting and the tears burning at the back of her head. She loved that nickname. Even when she felt like this, that name made her heart skip a beat.

"Lee." Cory groaned. "Don't give me that look." He closed his eyes, thinking about staying home. He opened his eyes once again, with Lea still gazing at him. "Look, how about I go to work today, and when I come home, I bring you your favorite soup. How does that sound?"

Lea clapped her hands together in delight. "Yes! I love you Cor!" she exclaimed, gripping the back of his neck, pulling him down into a kiss. They pulled away, and she bit her lip. She looked at the clock. "Cory!" She hit him on the shoulder. "You need to get ready! You need to be at work in 10 minutes!"

Ten minutes? His head shot towards the clock. 6:30. He read the clock wrong. He really needed some sleep.

He got up off the cold bathroom tile, and helped Lea up. He lead her into the bed and tucked her in, kissing her forehead. "I'm going to get ready. Here, watch this." He walked towards the T.V. and flicked it on. "Your favorite." He pressed play, and saw the opening credits to Funny Girl.

A smile crept across Lea's weary face. "Love you, babe." She squeaked.

"Love you too." Cory managed to yell from his closet, getting his pants on. He took his shirt off and ran his fingers over the mascara stain on the collar. His poor baby.

Lea turned her head, and gazed in the bathroom, to find Cory shirtless. She let out a content sigh, and curled up in a ball. She was so lucky to have him.

Cory was fixing his hair with about 6 minutes to spare. He threw on his tennis shoes, and strolled out of the bathroom to find Lea sound asleep. He smiled softly watching the covers go up and down, due to her small breaths. He ran his hand over her warm forehead and gave it a soft kiss. "See you later, Funny Girl." He grabbed his bags, looked at her one last time, and walked out of the house.

Lea woke up to the sound of her vibrating phone on the side-table. She picked her head up to see the name. "Lady Di". She couldn't ignore her best friend. She picked up the phone. "H-Hello?" Her voice cracked.

"Leeeeeeeee!" Di squealed. Lea pulled the phone away from her ear. "You want to hang out today? We could go get coffeeee!"

That sounded so good. But, Lea couldn't move. "I would love to Di, but I am kinda stuck in bed right now.."

Dianna giggled. "Ohhh. I gotcha. Tell Cory I said hi!" She laughed.

Lea let out a chuckle. "DIANNA! No, I mean I'm sick! Cory is stuck at the recording studio…" She frowned at the thought of not saying good-bye.

Dianna gasped. "Lea! Why didn't you tell me! I'm coming over whether you like it or not!"

"No! Di don't co-" she couldn't finish the sentence before the dial tone rang. Lea threw her phone across the bed, regretting it the second she did so. Dianna was her best friend, but she didn't want her to get sick too.

Before Lea could fall asleep again, she heard the keys unlock the front door and heard Dianna walk into her room. "Lea..?" She knocked on the door, holding two coffees in her hands.

"Dianna. Your the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for." She smiled and took the coffee from her grip.

"Midget, you are the cutest thing in the whole world." She giggled. Midget was her pet name for her. She was just so tiny and perfect, who couldn't call her an adorable name?

"You didn't have to come, you know. I could have taken care of myself just fine." She blew on her coffee and let out a cough.

"Yeah, I'm sure your germs say the same thing…" She said with a sour face. "So, how is Cor-Cor?" She laughed while playing with the paper wrapped around her hot, Starbucks cup.

"Oh, Cory? He is doing… really good." She smirked and gave her a wink.

Dianna hit Lea on the shoulder and gasped. "Lea! I thought that you were innocent!"

"Innocence doesn't last forever, Di." Lea laughed.

Dianna rolled her eyes. "Alright.. alright.. before I GAG, what's wrong with my midget?"

Lea tightened her stomach. "I have just been throwing up, and Cory says I have fever…"

"Ewwwww!" She exclaimed. "Wait… what are the symptoms for being preggo?"

Lea laughed at threw her head back. "Yeah, right!" She met Dianna's gaze and realized that she was serious. "Uhh.. Let me look it up.." She said, crawling across the bed and reaching for her phone. She scrolled down the page of google for answers.

"Um.. Throwing up/ Morning sickness, Headaches, and Fever." Lea's heart started pounding faster. "Dianna… what if I'm pregnant?" Lea's eyes welled with tears.

Dianna wrapped her arms around her small frame. "Don't worry Lea, if you are, Cory will love you no matter what. Nothing will change."

Lea pulled away. "Dianna! Everything will change. Don't you see? What if Cory doesn't view me as his hot wife? What if he doesn't want a baby? What if I am the only one tha-." She choked up.

"The only what that what?" Dianna's eyes softened.

"…What if I'm the only one that ends up loving it." Lea whispered looking down at her pink socks.

"Lea Michele! You will always be smokin' hot! No doubt about that." Dianna giggled. "But, think about all the times Cory has told you that he loves you. And the only thing that he is glad he changed is your last name. Think of that look in his eye. How he kisses you and rubs your hair. He loves you, Lea. And he always will. There is one thing that I would be worried about…"

"What?" Tears filled her eyes again.

"What if he loves that baby more than you?" Dianna smiled.

Lea laughed hard. "With all of these what if's we don't even know if I'm knocked up yet." Lea shuddered. "How are we going to find out?"

"I'll go to the store and grab a couple tests. You stay here and be pretty." She grabbed her bag and headed for the door. "Love ya, Midget." She said.

"Love you too, Lady Di." Lea called after her. "Oh, and can you get pickles and peanut butter. What if need it later?" she joked.

"Shut up, Lea! I'm leaving!" She said, then loudly slammed the door closed. She called through the closed door. "Sorry!"

Lea laughed and grabbed the framed picture on the table next to her. It was their wedding picture. Lea stroked over Cory's smiling face. "You are the love of my life, Cory." She whispered. "I hope this lasts forever."
