Disclaimer: I wish I owned Glee … but for now I'll just settle with being a huge fan :)

A/N: Thank you for all the reviews and alerts :D

Leah walked down the hallway and everyone's eyes followed her. Deep down, she knew that everyone had heard. That thought was confirmed when Cassidy Berry bumped into. "You better watch where you're going preggers. Also, paws off my man. Just because you're knocked up doesn't mean he wants to be with you. So just stay out of his life, okay?" The new HBIC sternly told Leah and she backed away.

Leah didn't know if it was the hormones, the fact that Cassidy physically bumped into her or what but she was pissed. "Whatever, Cassidy. I don't care about you. I'm so sick of having to deal with your crap. You can have Cory. But just remember, if he wanted you to be his girlfriend he would have asked you by now. You're just warming his bed until I finally come around."

Everybody ooohed as Cassidy's face turned bright red. "You're so lucky you're pregnant or I'd end you Puckerman. You messed with the wrong girl."

"Cassidy, you should just go to class. You're making yourself look stupid," Katie interjected as she approached the duo. "Being rude to Leah isn't going to help your case if you really like my brother that much. I'm his sister; I know more than you do. So chill, alright?" Leah mouthed thank you to Katie as Cassidy stuck her nose up in the air and sulked off to class.

"I'm so sorry you have to deal with that bitch. God, she's awful," Katie said to Leah as they headed to Leah's locker.

"You have to deal with her over all the time. I feel bad for you," the girls laughed in unison until they felt something cold being thrown at them. It took them a second to realize that it was a slushy.

"Ah!" the girls felt the cold substance drip down their head and looked down to inspect their clothes. Katie's white shirt was ruined by the blue coloring of the drink.

"Slushy's back, losers," Matthew Karofsky high fived Bryson as the two laughed and started to walk away until Matt was pushed into a locker by a very pissed off Cory. "Dude, what the hell?" Matt yelled.

"That's my little sister and my ... friend. You slushy them again and I will stick that cup so far up your ass that your nose will bleed. Got it?" Cory angrily replied.

"Dude, with the violence you've been throwing around the past few days, I wouldn't be surprised if Leah never lets you around the baby," Bryson said. He wasn't over Leah, not the least bit but he was too hurt to deal with everything right now. It was Matt's idea to stupidly bring the slushy back after their older siblings worked so hard to get it to stop.

"You have no right to say anything about Leah," Cory said lightly to Bryson. "You called her a slut. That's not cool. She's scared." He released Karofsky from his grip and turned to face his ex-best friend.

"And you're the one who made her a slut," Bryson responded before handing Cory the empty cup and walked away. Cory didn't know how to respond and stood there with his mouth slightly open.

"Thanks for that Cory," Katie said breaking the silence that filled the hallway and Cory snapped out of his daze.

"It's no problem, are you girls okay? Do you need to borrow a shirt or something?" he asked as he walked over.

"I don't, I have one in my gym locker. I'll see you guys in Glee," Katie said before leaving the two in the hallway alone.

"What about you L, do you need a shirt or something?" he asked politely, staring at the quiet girl in front of him.

"Actually, I do. I cleaned out my locker last week," she looked up into his eyes. He saw nothing but sadness in them. The truth was she adored him. He was making the effort and she was doing nothing but being rude to him. She needed to work on her attitude or she was scared she might lose him even for she had him. Little did she know he hasn't slept with another girl since the summer. It was more than just a hook up to him.

He didn't say anything back but he pulled her into a hug. At first she tried to pull away but she caved and wrapped her arms around his waist. When she pulled away a switch in her head flipped and she immediately opened her book bag. "Here … this is for you," she handed him the ultrasound picture.

"What is it?" he questioned, confused at the blob with Puckerman, Leah in the top right corner. He squinted at the picture trying to recognize the form.

"That …," she pointed to the small blob, "is our baby."

In that second Cory grasped the reality of the situation. In a few months he was going to be a father. He didn't know whether to be scared or excited. "It looks like a peanut," he laughed and smiled.

"See, I thought it was a jellybean but I guess peanut works," for the first time in weeks, he saw Leah smile a genuine smile. The same one he fell for over the summer.

"Let's get you some dry clothes and head to Glee," she shut her locker and followed him to the gym where he got her a clean shirt. It was a McKinley football shirt with his number 17 on it. Her stomach was starting to swell a little but nothing major just yet.

"Cory," Leah said as they sat in an abandoned classroom. "You know this doesn't change anything, right? I don't want to be your girlfriend. We're having a baby together; we're not getting married or anything."

"I know," he sighed and responded sadly.

They ended up skipped their class of the day before heading to Glee. They were the first ones in there when Mr. Schuester greeted them.

"If you kids need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. I'm here for you," he said as Cory walked Leah to her seat.

"Thanks Mr. Shue," Cory responded.

When everyone came in and sat down, Mr. Schuester stood up and paced back and forth.

"I know you kids are going through a really tough time right now but remember that we are a family. No matter what happens this year, you guys are a team and will always have each other. No matter what happens through this year, it will all be okay in the end. That being said, I have a song I prepared for you guys. You can sing along if you know the words but if you don't then just let the words speak to you."

He nodded to the piano man and began to sing at once.

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Derek Jones took everyone by surprise and joined Mr. Shue in singing the lyrics flawlessly. He smiled over at Katie who was swaying back and forth to the lyrics. He took her hand and she joined in singing along with him. Leah followed Katie's lead and joined in singing the song too. Following her was Cory, Cassidy, Erik, Mollie, Stacy, Jake, Bryson, Kelly, and William. By the end of the chain all of the Glee kids were singing along with their beloved teacher.

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Yeah, let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

By the end of the song all the girls in the classroom were in tears. The boy's eyes were glossed over but they all thought they were too manly to cry in front of their girls. Leah took in a deep breath trying to hold it all together as the tears flooded out. Cory didn't say anything; he just took her hand in his and squeezed it tightly. Bryson grimaced at the sight. This really was going to be a challenging year.

A/N: You guys know what to do ;) I love you all, thank you for taking the time to read this. Next chapter; Puck and Quinn handle her heading back to college and Mr. Shue has something else up his sleeves :D
