Summary: Sue Sylvester forces the Glee club to get up on their parenting skills now that she's pregnant giving each of the kids a life like baby to take care of for a week. Samcedes. Sam/Mike/Puck friendship. Various Glee friendships.

Kurt realized it was hopeless getting Rory interested into the same things he was in the moment he put on Burlesque and the Irish boy would giggle every time the girls wore a skimpy outfit and mutter 'Boobies'. So instead the young teen decided to take his partner with him to the Lima Bean so they can get some coffee and chat a little since he really didn't know much about the new kid. Ever since getting a boyfriend, Kurt really hasn't took the opportunity to talk to anyone else. He had his occasional diva nights with Rachel and Mercedes but since one was now engaged to his stepbrother and the other was having major boy problems; he barely hung out with them anymore. And since Blaine's time was spent on taking care of Queen so Sugar couldn't completely ruin their doll, Kurt barely seen him as much anymore either.

"This place smells weird." Rory frowned as he sat in the seat across Kurt, his green eyes taking in his surroundings warily. "What is this place?"

"The Lima Bean...you've never been here?" He watched as the other boy shook his head. "You mean you've been in Lima this long and haven't tried these delicious, addicting drinks? You poor deprived kid!" He exclaimed. He has been saying that to Rory a lot lately but it was true. It's like the boy was completely and utterly naive...even more than Finn! "You are so lucky to have me as your partner."

The corners of Rory's lips quirked up, "Oh now you're happy to have me as a partner? I had to practically beg you to let me hold Cher."

"Yeah I know...I have my moments and for that I apologize." Kurt sighed. "In my defense I was an only child for a good chunk of my life so I am not use to sharing. Also I didn't know much about you except what Brittany tells people and since that girl doesn't have all the bolts in her head I tend to not listen to anything she says." Rory nodded. "You're not a bad guy, Rory. You're actually kind of adorable. Like a little puppy."

Not knowing if that was an insult or compliment, the other boy blushed anyways. "You either. I can't believe I believed Puck when he said you were going to get us matching jean outfits like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake!"

Kurt made a face and patted his hand, "Oh honey...you will never find me in a jean outfit. That is tacky." He was about to take a sip from his drink when he saw Sebastian enter the cafe and make his way over to them. Kurt rolled his eyes. The Warbler was sweet after the whole Dave Karofsky thing but he was still a little weasel. Sure he took his bullying down a level but a person like that didn't just change over night. Even Santana still had a problem keeping her bitch attitude in check. "Hello, Sebastian." He greeted as nicely as he could when the Warbler approached them with his signature smirk. "Not surprised to see you here...do you own the place or something?"

The other guy laughed as Rory darted his eyes from him to Kurt. "Oh Kurt, you never cease to make my day better." Sebastian looked down, noticing the other boy for the first time. "And this is...?" He had a hard time keeping up with all the New Directions people especially if he didn't see them as a threat. He's seen Rory from time to time but never thought he mattered since he's never seen him sing a solo or anything, "More of your backup dancers from glee?"

Rory frowned and was about to reply but Kurt beat him to it, "No, Sebastian, he is not a 'backup dancer'." He said with a roll of the eyes, "Rory can't even dance. He has no rhythm at all!" Kurt smiled at his partner but Rory was not at all pleased by him coming to his rescue. He just seemed to insult him more! It wasn't his fault he couldn't dance! And in his defense back in Ireland people thought he was a really good dancer!

"Oh." Sebastian looked over at the small carrier in the seat next to Kurt. "And whose is that? I really hope you didn't start a babysitting club to pay for your way to Nationals..." He looked closer at the baby and realized the baby was looking up at him with the most creepiest glassy green eyes he's ever seen. "Why is it looking at me?"

Kurt quickly covered Cher before turning his glare to Sebastian, "It's a doll that we have to take care of for a week. Rory is my partner and if you don't mind I don't want your horse teeth being my kids first memory." Rory's eyebrows shot up as he looked up to see Sebastian's expression...the other boy didn't look mad at all. He seemed even more amused as he examined Kurt before looking down at his watch. "Somewhere to be?"

"No just wondering when Blaine is going to show up...or is this one your new boyfriend?" Rory glared at him. "He seems more like your type. You both have the skin of a toddler's backside. You guys can even go through puberty together!"

"Get lost, Sebastian!"

"Don't have to tell me twice. See ya later. Congrats on the win again." Before they could say thanks, the Warbler sharply turned and made his way down the aisle with that stupid smirk plastered on his face once again.

Kurt was fuming. Leave it to Sebastian to turn his good day to a bad one in less than a minute. He took the blanket off Cher to glare down at her now closed eyes, "You've betrayed me, Cher! Opening your eyes for him of all people!" The doll continued to breathe evenly, like it could care less that Kurt's rival got an reaction from the doll. "Daddy is not happy!"

Rory frowned, his accent thickening as he leaned over to peer at Cher, "Leave 'er alone, Kurt! She don't know any better." He finally took a sip from the drink Kurt ordered for him before wincing with disgust. "Ugh...I hate caffeine! Where is Blaine by the way?"

"I invited him and Queen but Sugar had to do something so couldn't come." Kurt explained, "She doesn't want me and Blaine alone with Queen because she's afraid we'll run off with her daughter or something like that." He shrugged as the Irish boy shot him a confused look. "She's been watching a lot of Lifetime movies lately so she's more paranoid than ever...but to be honest I so would run off with Blaine and Queen. Two daughters with my boyfriend? It's a gay man's fantasy! No offence...you're a good father and all but..."

Rory quirked a brow and smirked, "Not your type, eh?"

"Exactly."

"Well you're not mine either."

The two boys grinned at each other before returning to their drinks.

Sam was running late to Mercedes' house thanks to Finn. After practice, the guys finally got the teen out of the stall by promising him cake and saying that Little Debbie would get better in which she did. The doll had finally stopped throwing up and according to Finn she was back to her 'natural color', though none of the guys thought she looked any different but they weren't going to argue with their quarterback. It was nice to see Finn happy again and Coach Beiste was still threatening to have a talk with Sue about turning her players into sissy little girls.

The blonde quickly showered and told Mike he'd meet him later so they can do their English homework together and from the numerous texts he received from Mercedes he knew he was going to be in trouble for being two hours late. He figured she was rushing him because her parents weren't home which meant she was left alone with Jacob and as much as she felt she would be a good mother, she still was not ready to take care of a baby by herself. Especially since she still did not know what she was doing.

He quickly jumped out Puck's car, thanking the teen for a ride before jogging up to Mercedes' porch and knocking on the screen door. He heard some movement and crying as the front door quickly swung open and before he could greet her, she grabbed the top of his shirt and pulled him into the house. When he finally regained his composure, his green eyes examined his partner and noticed she was in sweats and her hair was all over the place; her face was makeup free and her normally warm brown eyes were wary and tired. "You ok, Cedes? You don't look so good..." Sam looked down to see a screaming Jacob in her arms and winced. Has he been like that all day?

"He will not stop crying!" She exclaimed, "I don't know what's wrong he just keeps going and going...I've tried everything! I called Quinn and she said wait till you show up and maybe he'll stop. So I've been calling and texting you but no reply!" Mercedes shot him an angry glare causing him to rub the back of his neck and look down in shame.

"Er...sorry about that. Finn was having a crisis with Little Debbie..."

"I was having a crisis here! With your son!" Mercedes yelled. He looked up at her and took in her expression before biting back a smirk that made her even more mad, "What is so funny, Evans?" She asked, "This is not a joke!"

That caused him to outright laugh at her and her look darkened as he lifted his hands and tried to explain himself, "I'm sorry...it's just...you really sound like the mother of my child right now. I feel like some husband who just got home really late and his wife is mad because he left her alone all night with their newborn child..." Mercedes didn't look amused at all so the smile on his face quickly disappeared, "Sorry...here...give him to me." Sam took Jacob from her arms and frowned when the doll immediately stopped crying. "That's so weird..."

Mercedes stared at him in shock before biting her bottom lip, "Why does he always calm down when we're together?" She asked aloud causing Sam's green eyes to snap up to hers. "And yet...still no opening of the eyes."

"Give it time. He'll do it...hopefully before the week is up."

"We have till Monday then!" The diva exclaimed. She ran a hand through her messy hair before glancing up the stairs then back at Sam, "Ok let's take this up to my room. I have a list of songs that may be good for us to sing for Jacob..." She stopped when she noticed a familiar look in his eyes that caused her to blush and look down. "Don't make this weird..."

The blonde bit his lip before replying, "Sorry...just remembered the days when you use to invite me to your room for different things..."

"Sam..."

He shrugged, unashamed. "Well it's true." A grin spread across his face as Mercedes quickly turned to make her way upstairs but he caught her small smile. "Your room is still the first door on the left, right?" He asked as she continued to make her way up the stairs, "I really hope you got your bed fixed after that little incident..." Mercedes almost tripped up the stairs as she turned to give him a look of shock. "Too far?"

"Way too far, Sam!"

The blonde grinned but followed her up the stairs anyways.

Mercedes' room was just how Sam remembered it. There were more pictures of her and people from the glee club plastered all over her vanity and the walls were a dark purple with posters of famous black singers she admired as her name written in gold was above her leopard sheet bed. He glanced around and noticed that there was a picture of Mercedes and Shane still on her bedside table and tried his best not to shoot her a jealous look that said 'Are you kidding me?'. But then he noticed the pictures of her and him from a photobooth when they went on one of their mall dates next to it; right by a pic of her, Quinn, and Beth. He smirked at that.

"Ok so I have these songs..." Mercedes spoke as she sat on her bed with the laptop. "And I was thinking when we pick a song we should be the last to perform. I hate going and then someone goes after me and I wish I would've done something different...this will give us time to not change our mind." She glanced at him and noticed he was still looking around her room, "Sam?"

He shook out of his daydreaming to point to her bed, "I see you got the headboard fixed too."

"Inappropriate!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm not really good at this..." He frowned then his eyes lit up when he thought about something, "Ok let's make up a code word. Since we're doing this 'friends' thing...every time I bring up a memory that is too...uh..."

"Inappropriate?"

"Yeah that...too 'inappropriate' you say something like...you say...oh! I got it! You say 'Avatar'!"

Mercedes shot him a look, "Seriously, Sam? Avatar?" She smiled when he nodded, completely serious about this. "So I say Avatar and you lay off?"

"Yup." The blonde replied, "Sometimes I act before I think...it's a habit of mine and since we really didn't end on bad terms in my mind you're still mine so you have to keep reminding me that we're just friends for now."

She completely ignored that little feeling she felt in her heart when he called her his still and decided that she'd let the 'friends for now' thing go too and nodded. "Ok. Agreed." He smiled brightly before placing Jacob on the bed and sitting next to her. "So how about this one..." She stopped when both her and his phones went off. The both sighed and rolled their eyes before answering their cells.

"Santana, this better be important..."

"What's up, Artie?" They both listened to their friends chat on about something before they both agreed and hung up their phones. "Artie says we're all going to be meeting up at Mr. Schue's tonight...Sue has something she wants to discuss with us."

"Yeah I know...Santana told me that too...I'm kinda scared."

"It's Sue so it can't be good..." He stifled back a yawn before looking over at the laptop screen with droppy eyes. Mercedes noticed and took in his exhausted face, there were bags forming under his eyes. She's seen him like this a bunch of times over the summer when he would visit her after a long day of working and babysitting Stacey and Stevie.

"You look tired."

"I am." He replied, his eyes never leaving the screen as he looked at the song choices. It wasn't till he felt her hand on his shoulder that he looked at her. "I'm fine, Mercedes...it was just a long football practice. Not to mention Shane made sure to tackle me to the dirt every time he could." He chuckled humorlessly as she frowned. "It's ok...I'm use to it plus I kinda deserve it..."

Mercedes closed her laptop with a sigh and placed it on the spot next to her. "It takes two to tango, Sam. It wasn't just you who kissed me...I kissed you." He looked down at his hands. "And if Shane wants to take out his anger on you then I should get the same treatment. It's not like the blame is all on you..."

He made a face then looked back up at her, "Yeah but if he tackles you I'd have to kill him." She laughed. "He's upset. I get it. I'm upset too..."

"Avatar."

Sam's eyebrows furrowed, "Why? I'm not saying anything inappropriate..."

"Yes you are. You're bringing up those feelings. Feelings people who are just friends should not be talking about." She replied and watched as he released a little growl of frustration before running a hand through his hair. "You need to get some rest, Sam." She said seriously as she watched him look even more sore and tired. "Take a nap here."

The blonde smiled at her suggestion, remembering how every time he would visit her after work they would nap together on her bed. He was going to bring up those memories but thought against it since it wasn't friend appropriate plus he didn't want her changing her mind either since he really was tired. "Only if you take a nap too." He suggested, biting his bottom lip anxiously as he watched her think about it.

"Ok." She shrugged finally. "But you stay on your side and I stay on mine. It's going to be like a friendly nap...like the ones I take with Kurt!" Mercedes smiled at the memories of her and her best friend before Sam had to go and ruin it.

"But you and Kurt cuddle! That is so unfair!" He blurted out with an accusing look. "Friend favoritism! I'm calling you out on it!"

Mercedes rolled her eyes, "Yeah but Kurt and I didn't date..."

"Uh...yes...yes you did. Well sort of."

"He's gay so that doesn't count! Plus sleeping with Kurt didn't lead to my bed nearly breaking and me having to get a new headboard! Remember that?" He smiled sheepishly. "Ok!" She got up and went over to pick up Jacob before placing him in the middle of the bed with two huge pillows on each side of the doll. "There. We'll have him between us so this can be as innocent ever." She smiled at him but he did not look happy as he stared at what she did.

"Are you trying to build a fort between us?" He asked with a raised brow. "Those are like the hugest pillows I've ever seen in my life. I'm not going to take advantage of you while you're sleeping, Cedes. Even if I were going to I couldn't because I'm really exhausted." He reached over and grabbed the two pillows before tossing them onto the side of the room. "Jacob will be between us. Good enough?"

She blew out a breath but nodded anyways before walking around to the other side of the bed. "We'll have to make sure we walk up in time to make it to Mr. Schue's house so I'll set the alarm." Mercedes grabbed her alarm clock and began setting it before she saw Sam stripping out of the corner or her eye. "What do you think you're doing?" She asked, her voice rising in panic as the blonde took off his shirt.

His hands went to the button on his jeans before he stopped and looked at her with a confused look, "Getting undressed." He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You get to be in your sweats all comfortable but I can't sleep in my beater and boxers?"

Mercedes muttered something under her breath about him making this difficult but decided she'd let him sleep in that anyways. When he went to climb onto her bed she shot him one last warning look but he countered it with the most angelic smile ever. She wasn't fooled but she was too tired to have another argument with him. It wasn't till they were both under the blankets and when he kept 'accidentally' brushing his toes against her foot did she kick him receiving a chuckle.

"Goodnight to you too, Cedes."

"Night, Sam!"

Mercedes was the first to open her eyes and look at the clock to see that they had about five minutes before it went off. Turning on her side she saw that Sam wasn't still sleeping like she thought he would be, but instead he stared intently at Jacob causing her to frown. "What's wrong?" She asked in a small whisper, her voice still groggy with sleepiness.

His eyes snapped to hers before slowly putting a finger up to his mouth, "Shh...don't make much noise or movement." She frowned and was about to ask why before he continued, "Jacob's eyes are open."

Mercedes felt her heart begin to pound fast in her chest as her eyes widened. "What?" She blurted as Sam shushed her once again and crooked a finger at her, telling her to look but do it slowly just in case the doll decided to close its eyes again. She slowly rose on her elbows and leaned over till she saw past the blanket Jacob was wrapped in to peer at his face. And there it was, their doll's eyes. She released a breath she didn't even know she was holding as she examined them. Around the pupil was a a brownish color as it blended in with the most greenish color she's ever seen making her think of an emerald.

"Wow."

"I know." Sam nodded. "I wonder how long his eyes been open...I woke up and he was staring straight at me. I nearly had a panic attack but his eyes are so cool looking. So glassy with a beautiful color of green and brown... it's like he has Mako in them."

"Mako? What's Mako?"

Sam looked up at her like she was crazy, "Mako...you seriously don't know what Mako is?" He sighed. "Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 was poisoned with Mako which caused his eyes to glow and become like two colors at once..." He stopped when he noticed Mercedes looking even more confused. "It's a game, Cedes."

"You're a dork." She grinned. Her phone began ringing with the song that she had for Santana causing her to quickly grab it, "Yes, Santana?"

"Yo where are you and Trouty?"

"You said it was at 6..."

"Yeah but then we all decided to make it sooner since we wanted to go out to eat after...didn't you get my text?"

Mercedes mentally cursed as Sam gave her a confused look. "Sorry...Sam and I were suppose to be going over songs but we ended up sleeping together instead..." She quickly shut her mouth as she realized she just used a bad choice of words to Santana, but it was too late to take it back because she heard various voices on the other line scream 'what?'. "Oh my god, Santana! Do you have me on speaker phone?" Before the Latina could reply someone else shouted into the phone.

"Yes she does and we just caught yo ass, Mercedes!" Artie exclaimed.

"Oh my god, Mercedes, you were suppose to be finding yourself! I knew I saw that sexual glint in your eyes the other day!" Tina cried out, hysterically. "I should've been there to cock block! I'm never letting you out of my sight again..."

"Tina, we didn't..."

"So you and Trouty where slapping skins? I should've knew something was up when Quinn said he was over your house."

"Wait...so you're not a virgin, Mercedes?" She heard Rachel ask. "I could have asked you for advice when I had that emergency glee girls meeting!"

"What are we talking about?" A confused Finn asked causing Mercedes to roll her eyes. He must've just entered the room or something.

"Sam and hot momma bumping uglies!"

"Puck!"

"You owe me ten dollars. I told you she wasn't no virgin."

"I really don't wanna hear this..."

"Since Sam and Mercedes are having sex does that mean that they will have a chocolate and vanilla swirl baby?" Brittany asked in the background. "That sounds so tasty."

"Hell yeah it does!"

"Guys!" Mercedes yelled into the phone causing Sam to stare at her some more, silently asking what was going on since he could see the distress all over her face. "Me and Sam were not having sex. We fell asleep!"

"Ooohh." She heard all her friends say in unison.

"Wait...in the same bed?" Mike asked causing Mercedes to face palm as everyone once again went on to put their own theories into what was happening right now.

"Mercedes, diva, I do hope that you slept in your footsie pajamas so Sam couldn't take advantage of you." Kurt spoke up.

"What was Sam wearing during this 'sleeping'?"

"Did you cuddle? Because when Santana and I cuddle it leads to hot and heavy lady kisses."

"Sam snores..."

"What does that have to do with anything, Finn?"

"I don't know I'm just thinking why would she wanna sleep next to him if he snores..."

"Because they were bumping uglies!"

"Good bye, guys! Sam and I will be there soon!" Mercedes exclaimed before quickly hanging up her phone to peer over at her partner, "Now I remember why we wanted to keep our relationship a secret from those people."

A/N: Next chapter we will be getting somewhere with Samcedes...in the mean time what other glee partners do you wanna read more of?
