(Sorry for the late update everyone)
The next morning Artie woke up got Sammy ready since his parents already left for work, and he was in charge of getting her and himself breakfast he decides to make themselves cereal. He puts her in her high chair and serves her cereal that he got when he first got her. He feeds himself and her at the same time the he does the dishes and cleans Sammy's high chair off. Then he gets her out of her high chair, and takes her into her room to work on her developmental skills a bit. Luckily it was only her left arm that was broken, so she could use her right arm to play. After Artie and her reaches her room, and he put her down on the floor so she could either walk or crawl over to her toys. Once she got to where she wanted to be. Artie then wheeled over to her locked his breaks on his chair, and got on the ground so he could interact with her, and to help her out a bit as well. Samantha enjoyed playing with Artie a lot, and he is hoping that next week the first hearing goes well, so he can keep Samantha. After they have played for two hours Artie got them lunch, and after lunch was over. He loaded Samantha up and headed off to glee practice
Arriving at McKinley for practice he got out first, and got Sammy stroller out of the trunk brought the stroller over to her unbuckled her from her car seat and strapped her in the stroller, When he was started pushing her towards the school Kurt comes and gives him a hand at pushing Sammy in her stroller while Artie pushes himself alongside her. When they reach the entrance to the school Artie hits the handicap door, so he can enter the building as soon as he enters Rachel offers to push him to the auditorium, and he accepts her offer. Upon entering the auditorium Mr. Schue sees that Artie brought Samantha to glee rehearsal and Artie asks him if that was okay if he brought her to rehearsal and Mr. Schue was fine with that. Luckily Mr. Schue set up a little area off stage so Samantha could play if she wanted to, or he also brought some coloring books and had them set up by the desk, so she could color as well. Once Artie had Samantha all situated off stage Mr. Schue started rehearsal. He explained to the glee club that this rehearsal was to get ready for the upcoming sectional competition. This rehearsal was going to be learning choreography for the songs that we will be doing for the performance.
Oh by the way Artie will it be okay if we use Samantha in one of our numbers for the competition Mr. Schue says. Artie says sure I don't see why not. Mr. Schue explains the reason that each group has to perform some kind of lullaby with a little one on stage with them, and since the other groups are using their director kids and Samantha will be offstage with Mr. Schue during the rest of the competition. They begin learning the dance moves for Jukebox Hero, and later in the week they were going to pick the song they were going to sing with Samantha. The whole rehearsal Sammy was a good girl Artie checked on her a few times, and changed her a few times. She had fun playing backstage, and coloring by Mr. Schue. The whole rehearsal she did not make a peep once. Artie was thankful for that, and he hopes it continues this way. After rehearsal was over Quinn pushes Artie out to his car while he pushes Sammy in her stroller. Artie and Samantha get home in time for supper, and his mom is making meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Since supper wasn't going to be ready for a while. Artie decided to play with Samantha for a little bit, and once supper was ready Artie was feeding Sammy some mashed potatoes while eating as well, and after supper was finished he decided to give Sammy her bath and get her ready for bed.
After bath they played some more then Artie read her a story and turned on her night light, so she wouldn't be afraid of the dark, and put her in her crib and she fell asleep right away. Artie got his bath and got ready for bed. Then he went out to talk to his parents about something. Mom Dad I wasn't able to check out day cares today because they were all closed, and I don't know which ones will be affordable for me to send Samantha to. Artie's mom says that here workplace has a daycare in the building, and she can drop her off there when she goes to work, and it doesn't cost very much to enroll. Artie asks her if she can see if they have any openings in the daycare tomorrow, and Artie's mom says she will look into it for Artie. Artie's dad says he can look into his workplace about their day care program that they have. Artie doesn't know how to respond. Guys are you sure about this, and they say they are sure about it. They are willing to do anything to help him out. Artie thanks them and goes to bed
The Next morning
Artie wakes up and gets Samantha up cause today the only day he was going to take her to school with him. He gets her ready, and puts her hair in pig tails for the day. He rolls out to the kitchen with her fed her and himself goes back into her room and packs the diaper bag with everything he will need to care for her throughout the day, and he comes back into the kitchen grabs some bottles for her to have in case she gets hungry, and some portable food she could eat. After Artie loaded everything up in his car he came back in and grabbed Samantha loaded her up and set off to school. Upon arriving at school Quinn meets him to help with Samantha. She pushes Sammy into the building for Artie, and to his first class of the day. Lucky his first class is Spanish with Mr. Schue, and he didn't minding having Sammy in class with him. Sammy was good al through first period, and Mr. Schue taught her some Spanish words. The next two classes aren't so easy, and his teachers aren't happy that he brought his daughter to school with him. During third period Sammy starts getting cranky a bit, so Artie leaves class with her and takes her down to the choir room to see what her problem is. Peeking into the choir room he sees that's it empty and he gets in there with Sammy and closes the door behind him he gets Sammy out of the stroller to see what's wrong he changes her that helps a little bit. He reaches in the diaper bag for a bottle to feed her, and she isn't hungry at all. Artie sees the toys that Mr. Schue has for her in his office he goes gets them really quick, and comes back to see if Samantha wants to play a little bit she doesn't want to do that either. He tries to feed her the food that he brought with him, and she eats it. He brought his lunch with him, so after he feeds her he eats himself, and does some homework. At the end of the period Blaine see that Artie is in the choir room with Samantha, and he wonders if Sammy got a little fussy during Artie's last class. The glee club comes to eat their lunch with Artie so he isn't lonely. They have fun talking and just hanging out during lunch. After lunch Artie goes to his fifth period class, and that is gym since Sammy was with him he goes into the gym, and takes his place. His teachers come out to see he isn't in his gym clothes and he tells them why, and they don't buy it so Artie gets the rest of his assignments and heads back to the choir room with Sammy. Luckily for Artie Samantha went down for her afternoon nap.
While she was sleeping Artie rolls over to one part of the choir room to cry his eyes out silently. Santana goes by the choir room and see that Artie is crying, and she decides to call an emergency glee club meeting after this period. Everyone meets up in the choir room as well in a different corner away from Artie so he doesn't hear this. Santana explains that she saw Artie in one part of the room crying his eyes out, and wondered what happen. The guys who take gym with Artie spills everything that went down, and the girls mouth just drop with the news. They vow to help Artie get custody of Samantha, and tell him he can be a father to that little girl. They look over by Artie and sees that he cried himself to sleep. Samantha wakes up as well Kurt goes over to her and changes her. The rest of the period the glee club stays together to keep Sammy company when Artie wakes up he sees that Sammy is all smiles again.
