A/N: Here's chapter seven! The song used is Christina Aguilera's Ain't No Other Man. I suggest listening to it while he dances. Thanks to Laiquahen for the suggestion. You're all troopers for sticking with me as I struggle through. I would love to have you tell me your preferences in the following question: Are there any story Arcs that you want to see? I really need some suggestions to keep the flow going. Thanks guys.

So recap: The Glee Club is having large difficulties and Schue has assigned their first project, he mixed the feuding sides together into two groups and told them to perform a number on Friday. Charlie has shown her human side by accepting the fact that her best friend/beard slept with someone else. Oh and the girl that Kale slept with, the rumored easy girl Samantha Childress, is preggers. Sounds like a problem. Sue sent her new Unholy Trinity in to recruit one of the best dancers since Mike Chang and Brittany Pierce but she doesn't want in, too bad Sue won't take no for an answer.

-OMWF-

The passing period bell rang as Hayley ran down the halls. Her face was a little green and she could feel something burning in her stomach.

I really shouldn't have eaten all of those chili fries during lunch.

Walker had dared her to finish what she started and now she was really regretting it. Her insides felt like they were expanding and she felt a wave of relief wash over her as she finally threw the bathroom door. She kicked the doors to make sure no one was in there but heard a noise as she hit the last one.

It was a mix between a growl and a sob, so she crept towards it slowly and knocked on the stall door.

"Hello?"

There was nothing but silence and the person within the stall completely stilled.

"Hello?"

"Go away."

The voice sounded familiar and Hayley kicked the stall again.

"Open up Childress, I know you're in there."

"I said go away, Pygmy!"

"That's it, I'm coming in there to get you."

"Don't-."

The brunette backed up and rammed her body into the pick door. The impact was too much for her body and she ended up sprawled on the bathroom floor. She grimaced at the tile.

Yuck.

Out of the stall came Sam. Her usually rosy cheeks were a gaunt pale color and she had bags forming under her eyes.

"What happened to you?"

"Nothing you need to concern yourself with."

The girl ran her hands under the running water and left the bathroom in a hurry.

"This is so similar to Quinn Fabray circa 2009." The girl drummed her fingers across her jeans. "Well it looks like I have a case on my hands. And what better to do with a case that needs solving?" She pulled out her phone and dialed. There was a ringing and finally a muffled voice came from the other end.

"Nick? Yeah it's Hayley. Listen, I'm going to need you to meet me before our group's practice. We have some investigating to do."

She smirked.

-OMWF-

As soon as Sam got back into the halls, she visibly relaxed. Now there was yet another person who might know about the tiny human growing inside of her. She subconsciously touched her belly and rubbed it.

It was strange really. There was a feeling of pride that she felt for her child. He/She was hers and that fact alone shocked her every single time she thought about it. Perhaps it was the reality of the situation, but she felt like it was just herself and the baby. Sure Kale had offered his house in case of her parents leaving her without a home. He may be the jock of the year and sure when they had sex, he made her feel like the queen of anything and everything. There was no explanation as to why she had been with him. She has sworn off sex after her first time. Paul Brown had been her first, captain of the hockey team, senior vice president and all around okay guy.

Ha not really.

Rumors spread about her and the jock. When he was seen leaving the party with her, there had been some talk. Of course his jock friends had over exaggerated everything. The truth was that she had gone to the party with a couple of her sophomore friends, all of them looking dangerously cute and ready to party. She was already pretty popular with the boys and was looking to have some fun. So was Paul.

She got a little more than tipsy and the shots just kept coming. Everything became fuzzy and Sam's willpower was reduced to nothing but flirty looks and dazed laughter. The rest they say is history. Paul scored and Sam's reputation went down the drain. An uneven trade you could say.

But with Kale, everything felt natural. He was sweet and everything that she longed for in a guy. And everything was different. She was fully sober and it just felt… right.

She sighed and lightly rolled her eyes.

How cliché.

She falls for the senior pretty boy who already has a girlfriend… Well kind of, not anymore. Yesterday she had received some mind-blowing news. Charlotte Greenstone, all American blonde hair, green-eyed princess, was indeed playing for the other team. Sam was also surprised at how she handled the situation. She was expecting her to slap her face off or something dramatic like that. She had heard rumors (though she refused to believe some due to her situation but anyways) of Santana Lopez. Supposedly one of the best Cheerios to attend McKinley, she was forced out of the closet and ran on a rampage, killing students and… Okay so maybe that wasn't true but the person who exposed her did get a good slap.

Anyway, Sam had called the HBIC a cuddly bear and actually survived. But not before promising to keep her secret safe, for now that was all she could do.

The bigger task at hand was dealing with her parents. Her father being away more times than not, she could hide it from for a while until her stomach started to blow up but her mom… She needed to tell her mom. With her always trying to bond and whatnot, Sam knew that it wouldn't be too long before she'd be asking why she was throwing up continually.

Sam met up with a nervous looking Kale at the front of the school.

"Ready?" He wrung his hands together.

"As ready as I ever will be."

-OMWF-

Hayley and Nick were sitting around the auditorium; both were bored and slightly irritated.

"I can't believe we couldn't find Sam! We looked all over the school." The boy pointed an accusing finger at the sophomore. "I though you said that there was something weird going on with Sam? All we've found out is that she left with Kale after sixth period, that's it!"

The girl stared up at the ceiling and pondered. "I know something is up. I heard her upchucking," Nick cringed at her choice of words. "This morning and I have a feeling that she and the jock boy wonder were on a mission to figure out if there is something growing in her stomach. We just need some proof." She put her hands behind her head. "We'll see them in a few minutes because of practice, so just cool your jets. I have a good feeling about this."

Ten minutes later, their teammates started to pour in. Charlotte and Emmett came in first, both talking in hushed whispers to each other. They took seats a few rows back and continued their conversation, only sparing a glance at the two lying on the stage. The blonde cheerleader made eye contact with Hayley but quickly turned away just as fast as she had glanced.

A few beats after, Sam and Kale turned up. Kale was looking a bit pale and Sam was beaming.

"Uh what's so interesting guys? You want to share with the class?" Hayley sent a challenging look to Sam.

"Like I said before Pygmy, none of your business."

Emmett clapped his hands together to break the tension. "So… We have a number to get ready! Let's do it!"

The groans were unanimous.

All the teens were all in a bad mood after practice was over. Charlotte kept elbowing Nick in the back when he tried picking her up. Hayley kept eyeing Sam and Kale suspiciously, receiving strange looks right back at her. They were okay, but none of the teens got anything done, all too focused on other things.

"We're obviously not working together well because we have no trust. Will you just tell us what's going on?" The four upperclassmen shared a look and Sam simply shook her head.

"No way."

Emmett sympathized with the girl. "Sam maybe if we just told-."

Sam rolled her eyes and walked out. Charlotte gave Kale one look and they headed out together.

Emmett followed suit and once again, Hayley and Nick were left alone.

"That went well." He flopped down on one of the seats. He got no response. "Hayley."

She called him over and placed something in his hands. "Look." He held it up to his eyes and gasped.

"She went to the doctor?"

"Not just any doctor my friend." She paused. "The baby doctor."

-OMWF-

"Okay guys, how are we going to do this?"

In the dance room, the other half of the glee club was mulling around. Alicia pulled out her phone and started going through her music. The rest were standing around, obviously unmotivated.

Hell, who wouldn't be? It was dark outside and the crickets were already starting to sound outside the room's windows. Cheerio practice had just ended and they were meeting because Erick and Dom couldn't meet any other time without being chopped up by Sue.

"C'mon Alicia, we all know that this is going to go downhill anyways," Walker said. "I mean look at them." He gestured to the two Cheerios in the corner, both of them looking bored and even a bit disgusted.

Juliet rolled her eyes. "I wonder how they actually keep up normal conversations."

"They look fake. I mean just look at little Ricky Martin's face. They just came from practice and there's no sign what so ever of fatigue." Alicia was actually shocked at the easygoing personality of her best friend's sister.

"It's whatever their coach is making them drink." Autumn shivered. "I saw a Cheerio from my homeroom class this morning. She was gulping down something orange. It smelled like raw sewage and when she spilled some, I swear the floor started to melt." The girl looked rather shaken.

"Who would do that voluntarily?"

On the other side of the room Erick crossed his arms. "I can't believe we actually came to this practice. This room smells like mix of sweat and apple juice and I want to go home."

"Just calm yourself, we're doing this to play nice, so play nice." When the Latino looked away she risked a glance at the brunette who was chatting with the rest in the front of the room.

Dom had one of two choices in that situation. On one hand, you could say that she was blessed. The instant Cheerios spot meant automatic protection for her and if she followed the rules, it would stay and she would be untouchable. But there was that other choice still stuck in the back of her mind. She already had the plan laid out in her mind. All she had to do was befriend the dancer, and simply make her feel like she could trust her. Whether that took some seduction, Dom didn't really mind. It wasn't a little known fact that Juliet was playing for both sides, having already dated Owen Claypool, a few guys from her old school back in the Heights and a crap load of girls from Jane Addams. Dom had her plan now all she need ask the dancer to hang out.

It wasn't the fact that it was girl that made Dom uneasy; growing up with a bisexual father had opened her eyes to a whole new point of view. She cringed. Okay so maybe not the best thing but still, an eye opener. It was more the idea of doing that kind of thing in a town like this. Conservative Lima, Ohio.

To the side, Juliet laughed and the French cheerleader's attention was drawn to her face. Hmm. Really not that unattractive. High cheekbones, light green eyes and a calm smile on her face. All right, inviting enough. She was broken out of her daze when she realized that she was checking the girl out. She slapped herself on the face, forgetting that people were actually in the room.

"Dom?"

The room was staring at her.

Immediately she composed herself. "There was a fly."

"Sure there was."

All attention was brought to the door when Nate came in lugging something in a cardboard box.

"Okay so far we have nothing. Lucky for you guys, I found awesome speakers from the 90's in the supply room." Nate dragged in an extremely large boom box and plunked it down on the smooth floor. He wagged his eyebrows. "It's vintage."

Juliet looked mildly interested and got up immediately to help set it up. She coughed at the amount of dust that was in the air. "When was this last used?"

"Uh, a long time ago."

"Well start playing something! I'm ready!" Juliet was the first in front, the excitement actually visible on her face.

Nate clicked a button and nothing came out.

"It's not playing anything."

Autumn slapped her forehead. "Great deduction."

The Cheerios deadpanned at the boy and started to walk out the door but were stopped by Alicia.

"C'mon guys, stay. This is for the team."

Erick made a face but took his hand off the knob.

"We're going to suck anyway. Don't you see that Schue put the least talented people together? The other team has the wonder twins. They're both shoo-ins for leads. Add in the fact that we don't really like each other and that creates a double negative."

"Oh really pretty boy? I'd like to see you do something impressive."

"What did you say Nova?"

"You just called yourself talent less." Juliet sent a challenging smile his way. "I personally believe that I'm not and that these people next to me have at least as much or more talent than I." She paused and stalked up to him, so they were standing chest to chest. "But hey I can't speak for you, I've never seen you do anything other than complain and file your nails. So before you go insulting everyone, why don't you prove yourself first?"

Walker whistled. "Damn."

"Okay fine honey, you want talent? I'll show you talent." He grabbed his bag and changed out of his uniform in favor of a pair of sweats and a tank, matching Juliet exactly. "Follow me."

The kids filed out of the room in confusion and followed Erick through the dark hallways and into the gym. Erick ran up to the top of the bleachers and unlocked something in the top box.

"Couldn't we get caught for this?" Autumn looked around the area and caught a glimpse of something shiny in the corner. "What's that?"

Walker looked over and shrugged it off. "Someone probably left a phone or something, don't worry."

They stared above and all of them jumped when music began blaring through the system.

(START MUSIC HERE)

I could feel it from the start

Couldn't stand to be apart

Erick leaped out of nowhere and made a face at Juliet. He stared out with a flip off the bleachers and then landed in the splits.

"Impressive." There was a fire in the girl's eyes and she stood in Erick's previous stop and cracked her neck. "But not good enough."

Juliet copied his flip and splits but when did a no hands cartwheel to the middle of the room. The watchers' jaws dropped at the cloned moves and stared as Erick's face tensed.

Don't now what you did boy buy,

You had it and I've been hooked ever since

"Fine. You want to play it that way?" He smirked. "Bring it!"

The cheerleader copied her cartwheel and then leaped gracefully towards the other dancer. He started to do tricks and flips around where she was standing and ended with another back flip. The girl was obviously watching him, but there was a calculating glimmer in her eyes. It was something in between thinking and analyzing. Juliet gave an approving look and started to walk to where her stuff was. She stripped off her jacket and shirt, causing a few to look away, leaving her in a sport bra and sweats.

"Does she always do that?"

"Does she have to take off her shirt of when she dances?"

"I really don't mind."

"She's like the female Situation, just look at her abs."

"Dom… you got a little drool on your lip."

"Shut up Walker."

"Nate could you be a dear and loop the track from the beginning?"

He nodded dumbly and scampered up to the box. The track started over and Juliet stood next to the bleachers and motioned for the other to join her. She nodded to him and somehow he just knew what she was up to.

So when the drums kicked in for the second time, the two took off in sync and flipped off the bleachers, they fell into the splits and then grabbed each other hands.

Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do

The dance was a mix of salsa and hip-hop. The teens played off of the other's moves. Erick pulled her towards him for another spin but she ducked away and glided off and grabbed Walker. She started to dance with him, slowing down the moves for him but going quick enough for him to put them together well. She advised him to lead when she shoved Dom into his arms, both starting to catch on. Erick followed suit with Autumn and Nate. Alicia was left on the side but Nate grabbed her and started to dance with both girls.

With the two and a half pairs putting the moves together in their heads, the two leaders took seats on the floor.

"You're good."

"I could say the same to you, but do you really have to take off your shirt?"

"Force of habit."

Erick rolled his eyes but offered a playful punch to her arm.

"We're awesome."

The music ended and the pair stood up.

Walker had sweat forming on his neck. "Did you plan that?" Juliet shook her head no but smiled.

"It just happened. But I didn't know pretty boy had it in him. I gotta say that was absolutely brilliant."

He shrugged. "It's in my veins."

"Well guys we have our number for Friday. Same time and place tomorrow."

The teens packed up and one by one, they filed out the door. Dom rushed out to meet Juliet just as she was grabbing her board.

"Hey do you need a ride home?"

The dancer looked more than a little miffed but weighed the options. Dom wouldn't have to come in and see her house and it was dark so yes she was a little cautious of her surroundings. A ride would be a great change from boarding home and would get her to her class at the studio faster. So Juliet nodded tentatively and the Cheerio smiled brightly. She looked at Erick's disappearing car with a smirk and opened the door for the other girl.

"Fantastic."

-OMWF-

Friday really couldn't come fast enough for Mr. Schue. He had woken up with a smile on his face. He already had a guest judge lined up for his kid's performances and was anxiously waiting to see what his new talent would bring to the table. He finished up the day and all but ran to the choir room.

Already waiting was the Noah Puckerman himself. He was looking a little confused at the bickering teens. All were too busy throwing insults at each other to notice their teacher's arrival.

"I can't believe you called her that!"

"Why are you defending the Cheerios, Juliet?"

"They're better than you think."

"Aw, thanks!"

"I think I might hurl."

"Oh so you can do it on command now?"

"Shut it Coleman."

"You know its true."

Emmett finally took note of Mr. Schue and pleaded with him. "I really though this project was supposed to bring us together as a group. I don't see that working right now?"

"Kiss ass!"

"Don't call him that!"

"Bite me!"

"Fine!"

"Ow! You bitch! I didn't mean literally!"

"You never specified."

Finally Will was able to break up the rabid teens with a little help from Puck. "Okay that's enough!" He breathed in deeply. "This is Noah Puckerman. He has flown out all the way from California to see you guys. He is our guest."

The man laughed deeply. "No, its fine Mr. Schue. These kids remind me of how we used to talk to each other. The first year was the worst." Puck sat back down. "Anyway, show me what you got."

"Who wants to go first?" No hands were raised; all the teens were either seething or not paying any attention at all. "Fine. Dom, your group goes first."

The first group ran through the choreography for "Ain't No Other Man" well and had Dom and Erick on lead vocals. It was pretty great for their first time.

Reluctantly, the other half of the team clapped at the end, all looking a little intimidated.

"Wow, really good job guys! We might even have a new number for Sectionals!" He clapped excitedly. "Now its Kale's turn. Show us what you got!"

The six reluctantly got up and struggled through a rendition Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved" and didn't even make it all the way through the song. Hayley tripped Sam, it resulted in her losing her balance and falling straight to the floor, stomach first. Kale jumped to the floor and muttered a few things to her as he helped her get up.

"Really? Did you have to screw it up again?"

Hayley was just a livid as the auburn haired girl. "Are you blaming me for this? It's you and your pregnant ass that's weighing us down."

Silence.

Nick slapped a hand over her mouth and the rest of the kids simply sat with their jaws unhinged.

Sam stood frozen.

They were all broken out of their trance when Hayley bit Nick, causing him to yelp in surprise.

To her own surprise, Sam didn't run. She just collapsed next the piano and stared off into space. "You actually told them." The girls mask began to break and her breathing became short.

Slowly all the members took in the girls face. She was just like them. Confused, searching for who she was, and only a teen. But there was a difference; she unlike them had to provide for another now.

Puck stood. "Can I just say something? The first week together with my team made me want to punch someone. We didn't go well together and hell some of us were still slushying each other. But slowly we formed ourselves into a team. There was a turning point we had. Just like this, I got Quinn Fabray pregnant. My whole glee club gathered around her. We made a pact to stay by each other's side, and we did. There may have been times of frustration and we did break apart a few times but." He absentmindedly ran a hand over the middle of his shaved head. "At the end of the day it was glee that pulled out sorry asses together." He nodded to himself and sat back down.

"That was good, right Mr. Schue?"

"I'm proud Puck."

"Sweet."

His little speech seemed to have struck a chord with the kids. And first down the risers was Alicia. She took the girl's hand and sat on the floor with her. "Hey, shh… you're going to be fine." Kale and Charlotte were right beside her. "We're here. There are people here ready to support you."

Hayley closed her eyes but eventually too took a spot on the floor next to her. "I'm sorry. I was just so frustrated."

"You don't need to apologize." Sam looked up. "We're all a team… right?"

"Yeah. A team."

Will clapped Walker on the back. "This is what teamwork is all about." The kids nodded.

Sam pulled herself off the floor. "Now that that's over… You guys ready for Sectionals?"

"We have a lot of work to do but I see so much talent in you guys. I think we can take first easily!"

The kids grinned and Juliet began packing up the props and sheet music. "So Mr. Schue, any ideas on how to start? We only have a week."

"We'll work something out, but I think that number you guys have will be perfect for an opener."

PLEASE READ:

A/N: Okay so I have finals coming up, but summer is on its way! I have some things already planned out for these teens and I'm looking forward to see how they do at Sectionals. I do have a few things for you guys:

1.) I changed their first competition to Sectionals just to keep things fresh and moving.

2.) Do you guys have any suggestions for plotlines or themes?

3.) How do you think Kale/Sam's parents should react?

4.) You shipping anything yet? Kam? (Sam/Kale), Prova? (Juliet/Dom). I'm not really sure either. WHAT SHIPS DO YOU WANT TO SEE?

5.) And finally, feedback is always appreciated. I want to know what you think. What do you want to happen.

Thanks. Hopefully I'll be back again soon.
