Chapter 3
Santana's POV
The last few weeks have went by super-fast. It's the twelve week scan tomorrow and I have to admit I am nervous. I hope everything is ok with Brittany's baby and this pregnancy can go as smooth as possible so when it's over I can just forget it ever happened.
I've been waiting behind the school for Brittany to show up for the past fifteen minutes and now I am getting impatient. If she doesn't hurry up….Oh it's ok I can see her coming now.
"About time" I say impatiently.
"Sorry, I got held up" she says apologetically.
"It's cool, anyway I got you here for a reason" I say.
"Before you start, are we allowed to be standing here" she asks.
"It's only the back of the school" I say.
"Santana I am not sure we should be here, fair enough you don't want people to see us talking but we could get detention for being here" she says and I sigh.
"Stop being so uptight, no one will see us here, ok" I tell her.
"Fine" Brittany says.
"Anyway I brought you here to check that you were still ok with tomorrow" I say and Brittany's face lights up with excitement and she breaks out into a smile.
"Of course, I am so excited, I am going to see my kid for the first time" she says with a dopey grin on her face.
"You know it will just be a scan, you won't see the actual baby?" I say.
"I know that I am not that stupid."
"I didn't think you were stupid nerd, you are the smartest person I know. I was only saying" I say and she smiles at me.
"Right, so shall I pick you up tomorrow as planned?" she asks and I nod.
"If that's still cool with you."
"It is" she replies and I nod. "Thanks for doing this, I am extremely grateful, you know."
"I know, I can tell" I say before giving her a small smile. I've always been a guarded person and don't show my feelings but there's something about Brittany that makes it impossible to hide what I'm truly feeling.
"If there is anything you need, tell me, it doesn't need to be to do with the baby, in general if you need me for anything let me know" she says to me.
"Thanks, so I will see you tomorrow" I say and she smiles.
"Yeah, where would you like me to pick you up?" Brittany asks.
"Get me outside the school gates since we both have a half day" I tell her and she nods.
"Sound, see you then" she says while smiling and I say goodbye to her before we both leave in opposite directions.
Brittany's POV
I was so excited to wake up today. It the twelve week scan for the baby and I am desperate to go, I will be able to find out different things like the due date and whether the baby is healthy or not. It will be the first time I see the baby so that makes it extra special. I know it isn't ideal becoming a mom in high school but now that I have adjusted to the idea I can't wait to be a mom. I've always liked kids, I think it is because I'm still a kid at heart but nevertheless I can't wait until my baby comes.
As soon as the school bell rings for lunch I sprint out of the building. On Friday's I finish at lunch time so this is me finished for the day. I sit and wait in my car for Santana to come so we can head off. After waiting five minutes she enters the car.
"Hi" she says.
"Hey" I say. "Ready to go?"
"Ready as I will ever be, I can't say I am looking forward to this" she tells me.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because I don't want someone poking my stomach and sending high frequency waves through my body."
"It won't be that bad. It won't harm the baby" I tell her.
"I know I just don't want someone touching my stomach."
"I understand but they need to check that the baby is developing and growing correctly" I say and she nods. We spend the rest of the journey in silence until we reach the hospital and head inside.
After we check in at the reception desk we get told to take a seat in the waiting room until we are called.
"Thanks for driving" Santana says and I smile.
"No trouble, thanks for letting me come" I say.
"I haven't passed my driving test yet. I don't really have enough cash to get too many lessons so it will be a slow process I think" she tells me and I nod.
"Right, I'm always here if you need a ride anywhere else" I say and Santana gives me a small grateful smile. A few moments of silence pass over us but it isn't awkward. It's calming.
"Would you like a magazine to read?" I ask Santana, wondering if she was as bored as me waiting here.
"No thanks nerd" she says and I feel a little sad. It felt like Santana and I were making progress, but since she is still calling me nerd instead of my name then I guess not much has changed.
"Ok then" I say before grabbing myself a magazine. I sit back down next to Santana and read my magazine quietly while Santana sits in peace. After a few minutes I break the silence. "I am taking you to lunch after this, no arguments" I tell her.
"Why?" she asks.
"Because you need a decent meal inside you, not only for your sake but the baby's as well. I also want to take you out because I want to thank you for letting me come today" I answer.
"We are not in the room yet so I don't think you should thank me just yet until after the scan, you never know what could happen" she says but I disagree.
"Nah everything will be good" I confidently say and she just nods. After another few minutes pass I can tell Santana is getting impatient because she keeps sighing and fidgeting with her hands.
"Fucking hurry up, we've been waiting here ages" Santana says irritated.
"Just relax" I say trying to calm her down.
"I will relax when this visit is over, I hate hospitals" she says.
"I don't think anyone really likes them."
"Suppose not" she agrees.
"Just focus on happy thoughts, which will make the time go quicker" I tell her.
"Ok, I will just think about that hot nurse who just went passed" she says and I shake my head. "She was hot, I wouldn't kick her out of bed too fast." I frown at Santana. "What?" she asks.
"We are in a hospital, do you really need to think about doing that sort of thing?" I ask rhetorically but she decides to give me an answer anyway.
"Doing what sort of thing?" she asks with a smirk.
"You know what I am talking about" I say. I'm not in the mood for her teasing me.
"I can't help it, when I see a hot girl it's hard not to feel an attraction. Sometimes I need to act on the attraction also" she says and I just look away. "How do you think I ended up pregnant? "She says and I just look at her confused.
"I don't follow" I say and she just smiles.
"I saw a hot girl at junior prom and we ended up having sex. I had an attraction to that girl" she says and there's nothing I can do about the blush that comes over my face.
"Aw, are you blushing?" she asks me in a teasing voice and I don't reply. "Is it because I said you were hot?" she asks and once again I don't answer. "You are hot by the way, just in case you wondered" she says. I would be lying if I said it didn't make me feel good because it did.
"Thanks" I reply feebly.
"I'm just being honest" she says.
Another few minutes of silence pass before Santana starts speaking.
"See that gay guy over there..." she says but I cut her off.
"Just because he is a male nurse does not make him gay" I say because I know she only said the man was gay because he was a nurse.
"Whatever, well anyway the guy over there, he's our nurse I think" she says.
"How do you know?" I ask.
"Because I know for a fact that it would be my luck that we would be given the gayest guy in this joint" she says and I glare at her. "What?"
"That wasn't very nice" I state and she just shrugs. It's funny how one minute she gives me a complement and then a few minutes later she is back to being a bitch again.
Five minutes later and we finally get called into the room. The nurse follows us in and Santana smirks at me. "Told ya we would get the gay one" she says and I just shake my head.
"If you would like to lie down on the bed please" the nurse says.
"Hold up, we've only just met sir" Santana says smirking. "I don't play for your team" she says while laughing.
"According to you, you play on the same team" I whisper. That wiped the smirk off of her face.
"I didn't think you did" the nurse says to Santana and then she lies down on the bed.
"Don't jump on top of me now nerd, you did it before and look at me now. Pregnant" Santana says and I glare at her. She just laughs at me.
"Will the scan take long?" I ask the nurse and he shakes his head.
"Nope as long as everything is ok" he replies and I nod.
"Brittany's just desperate to get me alone, that's why she's asking how long it will take" Santana says and I jump right in.
"I am not desperate to get her alone, believe me" I state.
The sonographer comes in and begins the procedure.
"So do you have a boyfriend?" Santana asks the nurse.
"Santana" I say.
"I'm just asking" she says before looking at the nurse, waiting for an answer.
"No I do not have a boyfriend" the nurse replies.
"I see. To be honest I'm not surprised, you've got a nose bigger than Pinocchio's. Let me tell you, I wouldn't want to make out with someone that could poke your eye out" Santana says. To say I am mortified is an understatement.
"Not that it is any of your business but I have a husband not a boyfriend" the nurse says.
"Is he blind?" Santana says. "Either you blinded him with a poke from that schnoz or he was blind before and couldn't see how unattractive you were when he married you."
"Santana that is enough" I say. If she isn't careful I can just see us getting asked to find another hospital next time. "You can't just say that to someone, it isn't cool."
"Keep your hair on nerd" Santana says and I sigh.
"Here we go, this is your baby" the sonographer tells us and I break out into a smile. "The baby is growing fine and developing as it should. No problems at all, it looks like you are going to have a healthy little baby."
"Oh my god, look Santana" I say as Santana is facing me instead of the screen.
"No thanks" she says.
"Come on, you have to look" I tell her.
"No I don't" she snaps at me. "Can we hurry up and just finish this scan" Santana says with attitude and I realise now that she probably doesn't want to look because she doesn't want anything to do with the baby.
"Sure" I say and look to the sonographer who finishes up before the nurse takes over.
"Everything seems fine. Are there any questions you would like to ask me?" the nurse asks us.
"Yeah, how did you manage to attract your husband with such an ugly face" Santana asks and I cringe. She has never met this guy before, so what I don't understand is how she can be so nasty towards him.
"I meant to do with your pregnancy" the nurse says. "I understand getting pregnant at such a young age was not planned but there's no need to be so scared."
"Excuse me I am not scared" Santana says defensively.
"I've seen it many times before, a woman gets scared and it causes her to become rude and disrespectful towards members of staff" the nurse says and I can see Santana's face turning angry.
"How dare you judge me like that, I am not scared. This pregnancy was planned and furthermore my girlfriend and I will be complaining to your manager" Santana says before getting off the bed and walking towards the door and stomping out. "BRITTANY!" I hear being screamed from the hallway, presumably she wants me to follow her.
"I am very sorry" I say to the nurse and he just smiles at me.
"Believe it or not but she is not the first patient to act that way" the nurse says.
"Really? I thought that was pretty bad" I say.
"The other patients were drunk right enough" he says before we both walk out the room. As we walk over to the reception desk I see Santana standing there with a face like fizz.
"We need to fill in some paperwork and arrange a time for the next scan" I tell Santana.
"I know the drill, I do have nine siblings and seven of them are younger than me, so I know how all of this works" Santana says.
"I was just telling you, there was no need for attitude."
"Look nerd, I just want to go home so can you hurry up and fill out your paperwork please" Santana says. At least she said please even though she's got a bad attitude.
We go through all the paperwork and set up a date for our next scan which will be carried out at twenty weeks. I managed to get Santana to apologise to the nurse, and I also got her to agree not to speak to the manager since there really was no need.
"I don't know if your girlfriend was joking or not Brittany but try and not let her smoke, it is extremely hazardous to the baby not to mention the toxicity of the substances in a cigarette.
"She's not my girlfriend but I will make sure she doesn't smoke" I say.
"Good, sorry for presuming you were together, I thought Santana said she had a girlfriend" the nurse says.
"If she does, it isn't me" I say before leaving and walking over to Santana. You know just thinking about Santana having a girlfriend gets to me a little, I don't know why though.
"What was gay-face saying?" Santana asks and I glare at her.
"Don't call someone that. The nurse was asking me to make sure my girlfriend doesn't smoke because it could harm the baby" I say and Santana laughs hysterically.
"I'm sorry for laughing but jeez, how could anyone think we were together?"
"Because you are carrying my baby" I reply.
"Yeah but come on, you and me dating, really?" Santana says before bursting into another fit of laughter. It does seem a little funny but there's no need for her to laugh so hard.
"I don't see how it is that funny" I tell her and she laughs some more. "Am I missing something here?" I ask.
"No but there's no way we would ever date, you're a shy nerd and I am the most popular girl in school" Santana says like that is the most obvious reason in the world.
"Sometimes you can be really nice and genuine and other times you are so mean" I say offended. "I get that you are more popular than me but to be honest I don't really care, I like being studious so can you please stop comparing yourself to me."
"I didn't mean it like it was a bad thing, that you enjoying studying a lot" Santana says and I shake my head.
"Yes you did, there's no other reason as to why you would bring up me being a nerd and you being popular" I say. "I am Brittany, you are Santana, we live our lives differently, and that's why we would never date."
"There's no need to get so defensive" Santana says.
"I am sick of you and your friends judging me because I would rather read a book than throw myself at boys or girls just for attention" I say and get in my car. After a few seconds I see Santana walking away from the car so I get out.
"Where are you going?" I ask.
"Home, didn't think I would be welcome in your car so I am walking" she says and I sigh.
"I'm not that childish" I say. "So we had an argument, I'm still going to let you in my car plus I still have to take you to lunch."
"We're still going to lunch? Even after what I said?" Santana asks and I nod.
"Of course. We had an argument, we both said our bit so now I would like it if we could be mature and move on" I say.
"Wow, you are so not like my other friends" she says. "If I had an argument with them, we wouldn't speak for days."
"Life's too short for that" I say before we both get in the car and I drive off. "So does this mean we're friends?" I ask because she sort of did just hint that with her 'other friends' comment.
"Maybe, I don't know" she says and I nod.
