A baby Obviously
Santana's POV
I'm dreading today. At the end of summer break I found out I was pregnant, I'm only going into senior year at school and getting pregnant was not in my plans at all. It happened after a one night stand at junior prom with one of the biggest nerds' in school. Today I need to tell her about the pregnancy and hopefully she agrees that we can't keep it.
I walk over to Brittany and tap her on the shoulder "Can we talk please?" I ask trying not to make it look obvious that I am talking to someone way below me on the social ladder.
"What about?" Brittany asks.
"You know what" I state before pulling Brittany into a classroom.
"What the fact that you seduced me at junior prom, had sex with me and when I wake up at your house I discover you have left me alone?"
"I don't do mornings after the night before."
"Fair enough Santana but it was your house, you could have at least had the decency to wake me up and asked me to go home" Brittany tells me angrily. "How did I know if I was going to run into your parents or something? They could have thought I was a burglar."
"Oh don't be so dramatic nerd. My parents weren't home, they live in the Bahamas" I tell her getting annoyed.
"Why do they stay in the Bahamas if you are here?" she asks.
"Look that's not important, I need to tell you something" I state impatiently.
"Ok, what?"
"I'm pregnant" I whisper.
"Eh….congratulations I guess."
"Flaming heck nerd it's yours. I wasn't telling you because I was so excited to share my news with you." Jeez, did she think we were best friends or something.
"It's mine?" she questions.
"Well yes, I wouldn't tell you it was if that wasn't the case."
"So I've got enough money so you don't need to contribute. My sister found me an abortion clinic so all I need to do is go to see the doctor first then I can go to the clinic for a termination" I say letting Brittany know where she stands.
"Wait, you're aborting the baby?" she asks.
"Surely you didn't think I was going to keep it, we're in high school and we're not even together. In fact we are not even friends" I say.
"This is my decision too. I helped make the baby, its takes two people you know" she replies.
"I'm not stupid Brittany I know how reproduction works and how sex works."
"I should get a say in this decision" she tells me and I know she should as long as it is termination she votes for.
"We have an equal say and we are both going with termination" I say.
"Actually I'm not" Brittany says completely taking me by surprise.
"What?" I say angrily.
"I don't agree with terminations unless they are for a medically reason. I'm against you terminating this baby" The nerd tells me and to say I am shocked is an understatement.
"I can't keep it" I tell her. I'm cheerleading captain, I'm running for senior class president and I will be a dead certainty for prom queen at the end of the year. Having a baby doesn't fit into that image at all never mind the fact that I don't want to be a mom, well not yet anyway. I've got nine siblings and seven of them are younger than me. With my parents living in the Bahamas permanently and only contributing by sending us money then there is no room for another baby.
"I know you never asked for this to happen but neither did I. Santana please think about this decision?" she asks.
"I have, thinking about this is all I have done and it just wouldn't be viable for me to keep it. I don't want to keep it either" I tell her before.
"I will bring the baby up myself, you don't need to have anything to do with it. Please don't terminate it, I couldn't live with myself if I terminate my kid" she tells me and I know people have strong views on this and they are entitled to but I'm the one who needs to carry the baby. "It's my body that will change. Having a baby isn't the only problem associated with a pregnancy, there are medical bills to pay, there is another person that I need to keep safe so I will have to take extra precautions, my body will change which will prevent me from going to the gym as often. There are another bunch of things too, the list doesn't stop there."
"I know" the nerd says.
"It's not even like we would be killing a baby, it's only a little seed at the moment" I say trying to persuade her that a termination is the right thing to do.
"My views are still the same no matter how far into the pregnancy it is" she says and I sigh. Why on earth did I need to get knocked up by her, better still why did I let myself become pregnant in the first place?
"I am terminating it" I state.
"Not without my permission you're not" she says.
"Just fuck off and leave me alone, will you? This is driving me insane" I say, annoyance evident in my voice. "I was only telling you so that you knew the fees were covered for the termination."
"I will leave you alone but this conversation is not over" the nerd tells me.
"Whatever" I say and I watch as the nerd storms off.
A few days have passed and I still haven't made a decision about a termination or not. I want to terminate it and I know I am a bitch but Brittany is right, she does have a say as well. I'm getting ready for gym class, today we have dodgeball and I can't be bothered with it, I hate gym class. I finish getting changed then I make my way to the gym hall. As soon as I get inside, the nerd rushes over to me.
"We need to talk" she demands.
"Do we?" I reply.
"Yes" she states.
"Fine but not here, I don't want people to think I talk to you. That would really harm my reputation" I say. "Go away, we can talk somewhere quieter."
"Fine" she says before walking off and I follow her to a quiet corner.
"What do you want to talk about?" I ask sharply.
"I don't think this game is suitable for you given your condition" the nerd says and I glare at her. "Dodgeball is not a game for someone who is pregnant" she tells me.
"Why" I ask.
"The game is a little high energy for someone who is pregnant, maybe I should tell coach" she says and the anger inside me boils to the top.
"You will tell coach no such thing nerd, you got me" I say furiously.
"You're pregnant though" Brittany says.
"I'm not, not anymore" I say and I see the confusion on her face so I elaborate. "I got a termination yesterday" I say smugly and I watch her face fall.
"What?" she says, sounding sad?
"I got rid of it" I say and walk off without waiting for a reply.
After gym class I walk out of the changing rooms and head towards my locker and I see the nerd at her locker. As soon as she spots me she walks over to me.
"How could you Santana?" the nerds says, obviously referring to the termination.
"Because it is my body" I state.
"I get that but it was my kid too you know, it was a part of me and I told you that I didn't agree with terminations" the blonde nerd tells me.
"Well I didn't want to go through the whole pregnancy thing" I say. "It had to be done quick before the thing developed." I say and Brittany frowns at me so I continue. "Into a baby obviously."
"Would you have terminated it if it was considered a baby?" she asks.
"Look I just wanted rid ok" I tell her, getting annoyed with all her questions. What happens next takes me completely by surprise, she bursts out crying.
"But it was mine too" she says with a sniff. "I don't get how you could do this to me, I asked you not to but you didn't listen" she gets out before more tears fall. I mean for the love of god, this is all I need right now.
"Come on don't cry, that's just stupid" I try to be sympathetic because I don't want to make her worse.
"I would rather be stupid than a killer like you" the nerd shouts before storming off. God nerds are so moody and dramatic, jeez, maybe I should find her before she ends up crying her eyes out and then confessing to someone from school. I go to walk away when my best friend Quinn walks over to me.
"Hey" she says and I reply back.
"Hi, should you not be in class?" I ask to which she nods her head.
"I was just heading to the toilet, what's your excuse" Quinn asks.
"I've got a free period" I say and Quinn nods in understanding. "You better get to the toilet and back to class before the teacher gets suspicious" I say.
"Yeah I better, see you babe" Quinn says before walking off. I decide I better go and search for Brittany, as much as that nerd gets on my nerves I do feel a little bad for her, she looked genuinely upset.
As I am walking around, I walk past the choir room and I can hear that fish face, Sam Evans, also known as trouty mouth talking to someone. If I listen clearly I think I can hear Brittany crying so touty must be talking to her. I listen outside for a bit.
"Hey Britt. Why are you crying" he asks and I hear the nerd sniffle.
"I'm not crying, I've just got really bad hay fever" she says but Sam doesn't believe her lie.
"Really because it looks like you have been crying" he says.
"I haven't, I am fine" she replies.
"Are you sure, we are friends you know so you can tell me if something is wrong" he tells her with concern lacing his voice.
"Everything is fine Sam, don't worry" she tells him and he decides to let it go.
"Ok then, I'm here if you need a friend ok" he says and I can't help but internally laugh. Trouty isn't exactly that much of a good friend, he slept with one of his so called friend's girl at a party. Some friend that is, I would never sleep with one of my friend's boyfriends or girlfriends for that matter. Once I become restless standing outside I decide to walk into the choir room.
"Trouty you are needed at football practice" I say impatiently.
"Oh shit, I forgot we had an early practice today" Sam says panicked.
"Get moving then" I say. Why is he still sitting there? We established he was late so he should be heading off to prevent himself from being even late. Sam eventually gets up and kisses Brittany on the cheek before heading to the door.
"Bye and remember I am here if you need me" he says to Brittany and she smiles at him.
"Thanks, see you later" the nerd says and I watch Sam disappear.
"Your cheek ok after he almost swallowed your face whole with that thing he just done to your cheek" I say and Brittany glares at me.
"You are such a bitch sometimes" she says and I shrug. Who am I to argue because to be honest I can be a bitch at times, what can I say? that's just how Santana Lopez rolls.
"I presume that he was going for a kiss on the cheek when he almost swallowed your face whole" I say and the nerd frowns at me again and I laugh "What was that face?" I ask still laughing but clearly she doesn't see the funny side.
"Look Santana what do you want because I just want to be alone for a little while" she says obviously annoyed.
"I wanted to make sure you weren't going to tell anyone about anything because you were making a bit of a scene of things by crying and howling so I would not be surprised if one of your loser friends asked why you were crying and you spill all" I say.
"You are so self-absorbed, I actually thought you were here because you felt bad for upsetting me but turns out you only care that people will find out that you are pregnant, I mean was pregnant because you're not anymore" she says and I sigh.
"You were right the first time" I say and she looks confused.
"What?" she asks.
"I am still pregnant" I say and she looks surprised. "I cancelled my appointment at the clinic" I say truthfully.
"Why?" she asks frowning.
"I was chatting to my sister and I figured that it was not only my choice about what happens but the nerd's choice as well, you being the nerd obviously" I say.
"Obviously" she says not impressed with me.
"So we are having one of them things then" I say.
"What things would that be?" she says in an abrupt tone.
"A baby obviously" I conclude.
"Right, a baby obviously" she says cheekily.
"Your baby to be precise" I say just to make sure she won't accuse me of sleeping around. I like sex but I am not a slut.
"Our baby" she says and I shake my head.
"Please don't say our, it is bad enough I need to be associated in the same sentence as you I don't want to have something that is "ours". You're getting a kid, I am getting a kid unfortunately but we do not need to mention out loud that it is the same brat."
"So did you change your mind because of me" she asks.
"Nope I changed my mind because it was the law, since you decided you wanted to put a bun in my oven then you are allowed by law to have a say in whether the bun cooks or gets dumped at the dough stage b4 officially going in the oven" I say.
"Right" the nerd replies.
"I hope you are pleased with yourself for what you are going to put me through, it is going to be hell being a pregnant senior in high school not to mention that I will lose my cheerio captaincy" I say. I'm furious, I am the most popular girl in school, I'm cheerio captain and I am the senior class president.
"I am sorry ok and a baby obviously was the last thing I expected at this stage of my life as well but my morals mean that you couldn't have a termination" she says.
"Yeah and I get that so since I am going through nine months of hell just to give you the end product and I get nothing then you owe me big time" I say.
"What do you mean you get nothing, you get a baby obviously, I mean that is something" she says clearly not understanding what I am saying.
"I don't get a baby obviously" I say and she looks confused.
"What are you talking about, of course you get a baby" she says to me as if I am deluded.
"I think you misunderstood, I am only keeping this baby because you want it, once I give birth I want nothing to do with it" I tell her and she looks at me incredulously.
"Seriously?" she asks and I nod.
"Yes you know I never wanted it in the first place and I can't get rid because I don't have enough money to take you to court over it since you would probably sue me if I got rid since it is yours too" I tell her.
"Oh right" she says.
"I can't believe I am going to endure nine months of hell and not get anything in return, not even a bit of money or anything."
"Money, are you seriously suggesting I should pay you for something that is already half of mine in the first place?" she asks. Is she fucking crazy, of course I am not saying that. Jeez.
"No of course not, I am just saying that it is bad enough that sometimes me and my siblings hardly ever have enough money to put food on the table for us and now you asking me to pay for pregnancy related expenses. You are also asking me to change my whole diet so the baby is healthy just so you can get the baby for yourself" I say and Brittany goes quiet. "Look I get that it is your baby too but don't you think you should pay a little towards those expenses but before you say you will pay plenty when the baby comes, since you will be the one who will need to buy everything for the kid like food, clothes, a cot and give it a home, then don't bother because one of the reasons I wanted rid was because I can't afford to do that on my own never mind afford to pay you maintenance" I say.
"Oh right" she says.
"I know it is my kid too but when you get the baby it will totally be all yours, I am sorry but if this sounds harsh but my siblings are more important than this baby. The baby will be yours and I am only the person giving you it" I tell Brittany honestly.
"I can pay for whatever you need" Brittany says and I am grateful.
"Do you seriously struggle to put food on the table at night?" she asks and I sigh sadly.
"Yes but if you tell anyone about it then I will hurt you, got me" I say giving Brittany my bitch face and she nods.
"Can I ask a question?" Brittany says.
"Sure."
"Do your parents know that you are...?" I cut her off.
"Knocked up then no and I don't want them to know" I say.
"Will they not find out when they realise you are a little bloated looking."
"Nah I probably won't see them for about a year so hopefully the pregnancy fat disappears by then" I say. To be honest my siblings are more important to me than them so I couldn't really care if I never saw them again.
"Would it bother you if I told my parents?" she asks.
"No you can tell them as long as they don't tell anyone else, I mean I guess it is right that they should know since you will be looking after the kid full time" I say and she nods. "I better go now, has the water works stopped?"
"Yeah" she says.
"Good, see you around nerd" I say before leaving and I hear her saying a faint bye.
