A/N: HEY GUYS. SO HERE IS CHAPTER 10! EEK! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS STORY HAS GOTTEN THIS FAR, I LOVE WRITING THESE GUYS AS A COUPLE. PLEASE REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OR WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THROUGHOUT THE UPCOMING CHAPTERS.
Kurt, Mercedes, Tina and I arrived at the party about five minutes after it started, Brittany answered the door and smiled when she saw the four of us.
"Oh wow, guys you look amazing," she said and I felt my cheeks turning red, looking at the others I noted that their cheeks were a similar shade to my own.
"Thanks, Brittany, and thank you for having us over," I said and she smiled
"Of course, it wouldn't be a glee club party without all of us," she said and let us in. Making our way further into the house we saw that the boys were all there and so was Santana and Quinn sitting on the couch listening to Puck and Finn doing some karaoke on the karaoke machine that had been set up in the lounge. Tina ran off to Mike when she saw him, throwing her arms around his neck and pulling him in for a deep kiss; Kurt was definietly right about the fact our new clothes and outfits would make our respective partners go crazy. Tina had on a slightly more moderate outfit, it was more tight fitting than her normal outfits and showed off her curves, something that Kurt said would drive Mike crazy and from the reaction that he just had I knew that Kurt had been right. Mercedes who had decided that she was just here to have fun and be with the glee club made her way over to the couch where Quinn praised her on her new look. She was wearing a pair of skinny jeans, hi tops and a slimming shirt that looked stunning on her, with a leather jacket. Similar to her usual look but I don't know it was just that little bit different that it made her look truly beautiful. Sam who had been talking to Blaine looked over at me and his mouth dropped to the floor. I felt my cheeks turn red and then felt the push from Kurt sending me in the direction of my boyfriend. When I was finally within his reach he pulled me into a tight hug and kissed me before whispering in my ear
"Remind me to thank Kurt later, but damn Rach you look sexy," he said and I blushed even more.
"Thank you" I whispered back and he nodded. He wrapped his arm around me and continued his conversation with Blaine. I smiled before looking around at the group gathered around us. Brittany, Santana, Quinn, Mike, Puck and Finn all looked at the two of us confused. Tugging on Sam's sleeve to get his attention, he looked down at me and then out at the rest of our friends. Finn was the first one to recover and I saw the flash of anger cross his face before I held onto Sam tighter, he seemed to sense that something was wrong and looked over at Finn who was making his way towards us, looking close to punching Sam. Puck, however, jumped in front of his best friend and stopped him trying to get Finn to listen to what we had to say, especially given the fact that everyone had thought that Finn and I were dating when junior year had ended. It was true we had been but when we had gone on a date about a week after term had ended he had got really angry when I had said that I wasn't sure I wanted to be in a relationship when I couldn't promise that I would still be in love with him at the end of the year. That had angered him so much that he'd almost lost it with me but he'd always sworn that he would never slap a girl, he had asked if we could stay friends though and I had agreed but this may be the end of that friendship. Finn who still looked angry, angrier than I had ever seen him before snarled and said we had to explain ourselves. Kurt, Blaine, Mercedes and Tina all made their way to our sides and stood in slightly protective stances which shocked the others slightly, but I stepped forward and looked Finn straight in the eyes.
"I'm sorry Finn but I found out why I couldn't fully agree with us being a couple at the end of the term. It was because I'd already given myself to someone else, so completely that I don't know we just had such a connection from the first moment. The night of the prom was the night that we uh did it, the deed and that was the night that I fell pregnant. Sam is the father and I have found that I love him, not just because he's the father of my baby but because he's done nothing against me, he's always been supportive of me and he makes me happy and laugh" I explained, I looked at Finn and saw the anger and then the hurt flash across his face before looking at the others, Puck looked surprised as he'd been someone who had tried to sleep with me before as well but had respected me enough not to push me, Brittany looked strangely happy and excited, Santana looked shocked, like she'd didn't think I was capable of losing my virginity let alone loving someone, Quinn looked surprised and in shock and Mike just seemed surprised.
It took about five minutes for the atmosphere to calm down and lose the chill in the air, both Sam and I seemed a little happier when Brittany clapped her hands and decided that she would be singing a song with everyone starting with me. I smiled glad for the distraction, knowing that once I was finished this song then I would have to face my reality again. Brittany chose a song that made me smile, one that I knew well "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis. As I sang the song I looked only at Sam and smiled as I sang each word, he was smiling back at me and I felt my heart beating faster with love and adoration. When I have finished the song I made my way over to the door and walked out for a breath of fresh air, I heard someone follow and wasn't surprised when I turned around and saw that it was Finn. He looked a little upset but he needed to talk to me.
"Hello Finn," I said and he smiled a little before he came and sat next to me.
"Rach, can we talk?" he asked and I nodded.
"Does this have anything to do with me?" he queried and I shook my head
"Finn, honestly no it doesn't. Maybe it was, to begin with but Sam has always been nice to me, he's never had a problem with me and he's been hurt too. Was it planned? No, but we were here and it was something we both did. We are both to blame for this" I said and he nodded, thinking through what I had said
"What about us?" he asked and I shook my head
"There isn't an us now, I'm sorry Finn. Sam and I are together not only because of the baby but because I love him and he loves me as well" I said and he nodded.
"I get that Rach, I really do. I just hope that we can still be friends" he said and I nodded
"I would like that a lot, Finn. You've always been there for me. I know that you will always be my first love and I will always have feelings for you but Sam is now and so is this little baby growing inside me" I said and he nodded
"Maybe I can finally put my feelings for you to rest? I wasn't really sure when I broke up with Quinn what I truly felt but I know now that it was probably a mistake. I just hope she will take me back" he said and I nodded
"I hope so Finn, for your sake," I said and he smiled. I reached out and gave his hand a gentle squeeze before he looked down at me and placed a kiss on my cheek before he got up and smiled, making his way back into the house, but as he reached the door he turned back to me and said
"Don't worry Rach, I'll be there supporting you and Sam the whole way through this. We all will" at that I beamed. Hearing him say that he would support both Sam and I, made me smile and I knew that he was right, the rest of the glee club would be there for us too.
After what felt like hours of sitting there thinking I made my way back inside and over to where Sam was, he was still talking to Mike and Blaine about a game of some kind or another. He looked down at me when I wrapped my arms around his waist and gave me a smile
"How was your talk with Finn?" he asked placing a kiss on my cheek and I smiled
"It went surprisingly well actually. He said that he will be there to support us and that he said that we can still be friends" I said and he nodded, smiling. I was about to join in the conversation when I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned and saw Quinn and Santana looking at me expectantly. I excused my self-saying that I would be back soon and followed Quinn and Santana out of the lounge and down the hall towards one of the bedrooms. I recognised it from Brittany's streaming YouTube series "Fondue for Two" as Brittany's room and smiled, it was different actually being in her room and seeing the personality of her room up close. Quinn and Santana sat on Brittany's bed and ushered for me to sit on the arm chair that sat next to the bed and I looked at the two of them slightly confused, waiting for someone to speak up.
"Rachel, Santana and I wanted to apologise for the way we've been treating you. We know that it hasn't exactly been fair but I guess we've always just been a little hesitant of the way to deal with you as a person, you have such a strong personality and you are such a talented person that I guess we always just felt threatened by you" Quinn said and I saw Santana nodding in agreement.
"I agree, though we are all talented in different ways you're not afraid to beat everyone to prove just how worthy you are of being known as the talented one in the glee club. Though we may not act like it, we really do care about you and we are sorry for all of the things we've done to you in the past and hope you can accept our apologies and maybe we can start being friends" Santana said and I looked at the two of them, truly looked at them and I smiled
"I would really like it if we could be friends guys, that would mean the world to me" I said and they both nodded, before Quinn leaned in closer to me and started talking to me about pregnancies and being pregnant, she was giving me all this advice about which vitamins to take and how to stay healthy, what foods to eat when you weren't having a good day and things like that. Santana sat there listening to the whole time just listening before there was a knock on the door and Brittany waltzed in and I turned my attention to Santana and the way that her gaze had instantly flown to follow Brittany the moment she walked in the room. If I wasn't sure before that Santana had feelings for the ditzy but loveable blonde then this would be the thing that clued me into those feelings.
After my talk with Quinn and Santana, I made my way back out of the room and into the lounge where Sam was singing a duet with Mike, it was a country song, something that I fully expected from Sam but didn't think I would hear from Mike, but it seemed to suit the two of them. I bagged a turn next and decided to sing a song with Sam and then a turn with Kurt. The song that I sang with Sam was Lady Antebellum's "Just a Kiss" which had all the others going crazy, Tina and Mike were dancing around in little circles as were Brittany and Santana and Finn and Quinn. Smiling at the way the night had unfolded I was grateful that I had managed to talk with not only Finn but Quinn and Santana. It was nice having everyone on board with mine and Sam's relationship, and I was feeling incredibly blessed to have the whole glee club in the know about our relationship and pregnancy, as it was going to make returning to school in just over three weeks bearable.
