I am having severe writers block when it comes to my other story 'Second Chances', so I decided to write a Brittana story in the mean time to get the juices going again. I got the inspiration for this after the episode 'The Break Up' because I thought the reason for Santana breaking up with Brittany was stupid. "Energy Exchange" yeah right, so I thought it would be a good cover for the real reason in this story. I will warn everyone now that it does have mentions of rape (nothing graphic) and maybe some smut (haven't decided yet). Thank you for reading and as always reviews are always appreciated.

Santana looked down at her rounded belly with a sigh. She was pregnant and alone in her tiny apartment in Louisville. She lost her scholarship, she couldn't afford to go to school, and she had gotten a job just so she didn't blow all of the money her parents had saved for her. She hadn't told anyone back home about her condition because she was scared. She was scared of Brittany's thinking she cheated, scared of her parents, and scared of what the town would say.

The night she got pregnant was the night that ruined her life forever. It was at the first party of the year during the second week at school. Some guy had slipped something in Santana's drink and date raped her. Santana had found out that next month that she was pregnant and once she knew, she decided to do the right thing and not burden Brittany, the love of her life, with the fact she had a child.

She told Brittany that she had an attraction to another girl; she couldn't tell Brittany that she was pregnant; it would kill Brittany to know that something like this happened. Santana was so angry at herself for what happened. Angry that some frat guy she didn't even know could change her and Brittany's life like this.

She looked down at the bill for her rent in her hand. She didn't know if she would be able to afford it without dipping into her savings. She had no idea how she would be able to raise a baby and afford to stay in Louisville. She stood up slowly and got dressed for her job as a waitress at a diner. Santana hated people but it was the only job that would hire her and she could make decent money. She got dressed in her uniform and comfortable flats. It was noticeable that she was pregnant despite all attempts to hide.

She walked downstairs and got into her car, driving to the diner. She was lucky that her parents were paying for her phone and car insurance. She walked into the diner where Charlotte, the older woman who owned the place gave her a sweet smile. Charlotte had helped her out a lot with her pregnancy and dealing with losing Brittany.

Brittany was on Santana's mind all day; she imagined what she was doing or if she was happy. Ever since they ended things, Brittany hadn't called or text.

"How are we today Santana?" Charlotte called over as Santana smiled.

"I'm doing good, I'm 20 weeks pregnant this week" Santana said as she rested her hand on her belly. It seemed to be a habit she had developed since her belly had become bigger and more noticeable. She put her things away in the back and walked out with a smile. She looked up and saw someone very familiar walk in.

"Sam? What are you doing here?" Santana asked shocked as she put the menus close to her belly trying to hide it.

"I'm visiting my aunt and uncle. How are you...?" Sam said as he looked down and his voice trailed off.

"Your... Your pregnant" he stuttered as Santana looked down.

"Yeah, it's a long story but I am" She said as Sam looked shocked.

"You cheated on Brittany?" He said looking shocked and a bit pissed off.

"Sam... I didn't cheat on Brittany" Santana said looking down as Sam looked angry.

"You obviously did! That girl is in Lima, in pain every day and here you are pregnant with some dude's kid." He said looking very mad as Santana wanted to cry. Brittany was in pain, something that killed Santana on the inside.

"No... Sam I was... I was at a party the second week of school and... Some guy slipped something in my drink. I woke up on the floor naked and a month later I found out I was pregnant. I would never intentionally cheat on Brittany" She said as Sam looked equally as shocked.

"Santana... I... I didn't know" Sam stuttered as Santana rubbed her belly.

"I broke up with Brittany because of this. I couldn't let her ruin her life because of my mistake, I feel like a part of me is missing" She said tears in her eyes.

"Santana come back to Lima, you need to talk to Brittany and tell her the truth about this because she thinks she did something wrong" Sam said as Santana shook her head.

"I can't Sam, I need more time before I can face Lima, my parents or Brittany" She said as Charlotte walked over.

"Santana your friend is right. You need to go home. You don't belong here" Charlotte said as Santana looked sadly.

"Charlotte you know I'm not ready to tell my parents or Brittany" Santana said as Charlotte looked sadly.

"Your never going to be ready. In another 20 weeks or less this baby will be here. You have to tell at least your family and the girl you love" Charlotte said as Sam looked at the woman with gratitude for trying to get through to Santana even a little bit.

"I need to think this through" Santana said looking like she wanted to cry.

"Santana, why don't you go home and rest? You've worked 6 days this week and you know it's not good for the little one" Charlotte said as she hugged Santana.

"Sam I'll call you later, thank you" Santana said as Sam hugged her.

Santana grabbed her things and went back to her apartment. She really needed to decide what to do that day. Her rent was due the next day and she could get out since her last months rent was paid. She looked down as her phone rang it was "Mine", she knew the ring tone meant only one thing, it was Brittany.

"Hello" Santana said her voice cracking. It was the first time they had talked since that day in the choir room.

"Sanny... I need to talk. I can't... Not talk to you anymore. I needed to hear your voice" Brittany said as Santana could hear the tears.

"Britt, I've missed you" Santana said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I've missed you so much" Brittany whispered as Santana looked down. In her mind, she made her decision, she was going home.

"I'm coming home... For good. I can't do it here anymore. Something happened and it isn't good. I just need my family and you" Santana said as she took a deep breath.

"What happened San?" Brittany asked worried. Santana knew she couldn't tell her over the phone the truth.

"I'll tell you when I get back. Just promise me that you won't hate me. That you won't decide that I'm not even worth your time anymore" Santana said tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I could never hate you Santana, no matter what" Brittany said as Santana's hand rested on her belly. This could possibly be the one time Brittany hates her.

"I'll call you when I get there. I... I love you Britt" Santana said as she started to pack her things up, she didn't have very much to pack seeing as she moved from a tiny dorm room to a tiny apartment.
