CHAPTER TEN
The next week the New Directions began to gather in the choir room. Finn went to approach Kurt who was quietly sitting in the corner.
"Kurt, don't mind me for asking, but didn't you just wear that jacket a few days ago?" The rest of the conversation haltered to wait for Kurt's response.
"You pay attention to Kurt wears?" Puck asked.
"It was just something I noticed okay?" Finn said defensively wishing he hadn't brought up the topic to begin with.
"I happen to be very fond of this jacket. Do you have a problem with that?" Kurt questioned.
"He's fond of it because I got it as a present." Blaine noted.
"You did not!" Kurt insisted.
"All right, all right, must we talk about Kurt's wardrobe?" Santana asked.
Sam walked into the choir room. "Kurt can I see you outside for a second?"
"Sure." Kurt said looking quite cheery as he tried to stand up. Visibly struggling Blaine asked quietly if he could lend a hand, Kurt just shook his head as he pushed himself out of the chair and followed Sam outside.
"How can I help you?" Kurt asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Please do not tell me you knocked someone up."
Sam smirked. "No I didn't. But you shouldn't worry yourself with things like that." His tone changing for joking to serious.
"Worry myself? Why would you say that?" Kurt said pulling his jacket over his lower abdomen.
"I know why you gave Rachael the solo."
Kurt lowered his head to stare at the floor "You do?" he said his voice sounding sadder.
"I do." He said moving closer to Kurt. "Are you pregnant?"
"Pregnant. No Sam. Have you lost your mind?"
"You used to be a better liar"
"Well I guess that cat is out of the bag now. And you would know this how? Is it that obvious?" Kurt said rolling his eyes.
"It just made sense. The tea, the solo, the fainting…."Sam dragged on
Kurt appeared to become agitated.
"The New Directions don't know? Do they?"
"Not a clue. Well," He tilted his head. "There is Quinn and Blaine of course."
"Of course," He said. "Um, congratulations," Sam smiled.
Kurt laughed. "Thanks. I think?"
"If you need anything, don't be afraid to call."
"I just might take you up on that offer."
"You have my number?" Sam questioned.
"Indeed I do," Kurt smiled. "Is that all?"
"Yes that is all." Blaine said appearing behind Kurt.
"Blaine? What are you doing?" Kurt inquired.
"Well, I came out to see if you were okay, but instead, I see you and Trouty Mouth here looking very chummy."
"What the hell is the matter with you? Your boyfriend needs you now." Sam expressed.
"Well I am going back to the choir room. Try not to kill each other." Kurt said plainly as he walked back inside.
"Back off Sam!" Blaine threatened.
"Go after him Blaine." Sam said. "Go after him or I will!" He threatened.
Blaine scoffed as he stomped back into the choir room as Sam followed behind.
"Well nice of you to join us," Mr. Schuester commented as the two strolled in and took a seat.
The New Directions stared to practice their songs for Nationals. As Rachael swooned her way into the centre to deliver her solo Kurt couldn't help but feel a bit sad.
As the song finished Kurt commented. "Well it's good to see my solo is in good hands."
"My hands would be better," Santana noted.
"Oh Santana, you and Kurt couldn't do that song justice if your lives depended on it." Rachael said smugly.
"Why, thanks for the vote of confidence Rachael. It's not like I didn't originally win the solo to begin with." Kurt spoke sarcastically.
"Is it possible to have a peaceful rehearsal once in a while?" Mr. Schuester asked.
"Are you serious? This is the New Directions, you can't go for 5 seconds without having someone yell in your face." Blaine commented.
"Blaine!" Kurt shouted.
"See what I mean?" Blaine smirked.
"Kurt!" Finn said giving Kurt the shut up look.
"What? He is part of our glee club now. He should not be insulting its members." Kurt said while giving Blaine's chest a light smack.
"Well you are his boyfriend Kurt." Mr. Schuester stated.
"I didn't say a thing!" Kurt yelled.
"You didn't have to!" Santana screamed.
"Hey! Satan! Leave the boyfriend alone! He doesn't need this!" Blaine said defensively putting his arm around his boyfriend's shoulder.
"Wait. Is something going on? Why doesn't he need this?" Finn wondered.
"What's going on?" Tina asked.
"Nothing!" Kurt Screamed.
"Sure doesn't it seem like nothing," Finn said. "Quinn, you said Kurt had low blood pressure, and not high right?" Finn said thinking he could Google the symptoms when he got home.
"Right," Quinn confirmed.
"Kurt has high blood pressure?" Britney said hearing wrong.
"All I know is that Rachael is responsible for raising mine." Santana said.
"What's wrong with Kurt's blood pressure?" Sam asked worriedly.
"Everything is fine!" Kurt yelled, as he fainted into Blaine's arms.
"Kurt!" Finn called out.
