Hi Everyone This is my 50th Story!

This can stand as a stand alone one shot or as a longer story it is entirely up to you however I do warn you that if you do want this to be a multi-chapter story then I might be a bit slow in updating. I took a brief break from this fandom as I struggled with a few issues but I am back.

I once got asked why I wrote so many stories with single fathers. I don't know. For some reason I found getting into the heads of male characters easily. I do however have other stories planned.

If continued I will attempt to make this as cannon as possible however I will make two serious changes to Sam's plot

A) he wont be made homeless

B) he will live with Finn and Burt and Carole but he wont be leaving Lima like he did at the beginning of Season 3-However like I said this entire story continuing is completely up to you, so if you like it let me know x

Disclaimer-I own nothing

Let me know what you thought

Baby Trouty Mouth

Complete AU-In which Sam has a son that nobody (including the New Directions) know about-when Sam becomes the sole parent he is left with some impossible juggling-or the story of the last four series with a very special guest-

Chapter 1-1x22- Journey to Regionals

Sam gets a phone call and everything changes

The phone was blearing loud and angry and it pulled the seventeen year old out of sleep with a muttered curse. Blinking against the harsh light of the screen Samuel Dwight Evans known to most as Sam nearly did a double take when he saw the number.

"Kelsey?" he asked blinking unable to control the hope in his voice and the cold voice on the phone did nothing to deter that all powerful emotion that swept through him.

"Hello Sam" came the board drawl and Sam grinned "Are you in Ohio?" he asked and Kelsey snorted "Yep" she said popping the p. "Is he with you?" he asked again his voice full of hope and Kelsey sighed "Yep" she repeated. "Can you get your ass down to the parking lot of that restaurant called Breadstick's?"

"Yeah" Sam said ignorant of the time or the fact that he was in his boxers. "I can be down there in ten-isn't it shut?"

He could hear Kelsey's eye roll over the phone "That's why it's the parking lot" she snapped before slamming the phone shut.

Sam stared at his screensaver for a second before leaping out of bed reaching for his jeans and old football jersey. "Sam" came a low sleep ridden voice identifiable as his father, Dwight who was peering round his door eyes wide.

"Kel's in Ohio" Sam said reaching for his car keys "He's with her" he said smiling.

Dwight rolled his eyes "Drive safe then" was all he said before shutting the door.

Drive safe was an understatement for what Sam Evans was doing. The second he had gotten into his car he had slammed his foot on the gas so fast he could feel the noise vibrate through every bone in his body.

Pulling into the restaurant car pack he gave himself a little fist pump when he saw that the silver Mercedes was still in place. Then the woman got out. She was Sam's age-seventeen and she had long brown hair dyed a dark purple and dark snapping eyes.

"Hey Kelse" Sam said smiling determined to be civil. He tried craning his head to see who was in the car but he couldn't.

"You said he was with you" he said accusingly and Kelsey Rivers snorted "Of course he is" she snapped throwing what looked like a motel room key at him "He's in the room"

Sam blinked anger curling like tendrils of acrid smoke inside of him "You left him in the room by himself" he half growled turning to go back to the car but Kelsey sighed "No" she snapped "I left him with a member of the reception"

If she had thought that, that would calm Sam down she was sorely mistaken "Are you out of your mind?" he asked and Kelsey smirked before leaning into the car and pulling out what looked like a stack of folders. "Here" she said throwing them carelessly to Sam who staggered to catch them all. "He's all yours"

Sam blinked "What?" he asked blinking as the word Custody glared at him.

"I don't want to do it any more Sam" she said flatly "I want to go out to parties and get drunk and be normal again" she eyed Sam wearily "To be honest you were the only reason I didn't get rid of him"

Sam swallowed "Your giving me everything" he whispered trying not to hope in case this was a cruel trick and Kelsey nodded picking apart her nail varnish.

"It's not a con?" he asked just to make sure and she rolled her eyes.

"No" she drawled "As far as I am concerned his is entirely your problem now"

Sam blinked unsure of what to say. He took the offered pen and after doing a quick read-through he signed the paper.

"What should I tell him?" he asked and Kelsey sighed climbing into her car "Don't worry" she said her smile wide now she realised that she was free. "He knows" was all she said.

And with that she drove off.

Sam gaped for half a second before running back to his car. He allowed himself one exulted grin before slamming into the car park of the small run down motel.

"Hi" he said when he staggered in and then his heart melted as he caught sight on what was on the sofa. "I take it you're the dad" the man said and Sam nodded "I'm sorry" he said "I can get you cash tomorrow-I didn't know she was even in the state until" he checked his watch "An hour ago"

The man nodded "Don't worry about it son" he said smiling "I got two kids myself. If one of mine was in your predicament I'd like to think that someone looked out for them"

Sam nodded before the man left giving him some semblance of privacy. Then he turned to the sleeping child on the sofa.

Ethan Joseph Evans had born on a cold blustery January not three days before the new term of Sam's last year of middle school, he had a mess of bright blonde hair and blue eyes and was the most adorable child Sam had ever seen.

And now he was all Sam's. No more wondering when the next time he was going to see Ethan because Kelsey refused to move and Sam didn't have enough money to take her to court.

"Hey Monkey" he whispered ruffling Ethan's hair. "Daddy?" he whispered back and Sam grinned feeling his heart melt.

"Hey Monkey it's time to come home" Ethan blinked "Home with you daddy?" Ethan asked and Sam nodded "Yeah son" he said his face shining. "Yeah with me and Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Stevie and Auntie Stacie."

Ethan stared a little more before grinning "You won't leave me like Momma did?" he asked and Sam frowned "No Monkey I won't" he said lifting Ethan into his arms and feeling the little body pressed against him that he hadn't felt in nearly four months.

"Come on" he whispered pressing a kiss into his son's golden hair "Let's go home"
