Hi So here is another chapter it is the last before I go back to school so I might be a bit slow in updating so please bear with me...

This chapter is really short as it focuses on the Glee club's reactions-I kept it low key but I promise you there will be a lot of drama in the next chapter

Next Chapter-2x10-A Very Glee Christmas-Sam celebrates the first Christmas he has with his son and the existence of Ethan is out-to the whole school.

Disclaimer-Only Ethan is mine

Please read and review

Chapter 10-2x09-Special Education

Sam prepares to sing at Sectionals and his secret may be out to the rest of the Glee Club

Life carried on after Kurt left, even if Sam still felt unsettled about the lack of action he had took over stopping his impromptu departure.

The main event that was coming up was Sectionals. Rachel had been flitting in and out with songs her tone grating the rest of the Club and Sam could only hope that Mr Shue gave them a damn song so that they could all get back to normal-well as normal as they could ever be.

Nothing however could prepare him for the shock of him and Quinn getting the main song.

And naturally Rachel didn't like it, she didn't like it one bit. Though as Santana said over her soda over lunch the next day-the duct tape was a nice touch.

However shit quickly hit the fan when it came out about Finn and Santana's one night stand last year. In Sam's opinion one night stands were nothing to be ashamed off and certainly didn't warrant counselling. If Finn and Rachel weren't together then what was the problem?

As it turned out Rachel didn't see it like that.

He supposed he shouldn't judge, while he and Kelsey hadn't exactly been a one-night stand affair it had ended with a spectacular problem-Ethan.

So yeah…maybe he shouldn't be passing judgement.

"Are you sure that you wanna sing at this thing?" Quinn said later that night where she was helping Ethan colour in what looked like a butterfly in his colouring book.

"Why shouldn't we" he said passing her, her coffee "I should warn you though I have no idea what song were singing"

Quinn just rolled her eyes.

"Are you gonna let Ethan come to the show?" she asked and Ethan clapped his hands together in some sort of three year old response and Sam smiled holding out another crayon "Maybe, it's a bit past his bedtime and then he'll wanna come backstage and will wanna see everyone" he shrugged "I don't know if I wanna do that yet"

"They won't mind, Finn and Puck and Kurt all know, Santana and Brittney will not give a damn trust me, Artie and Tina and Mike, Mercedes and Rachel" she shrugged "Who gives a damn what they think-were all pretty accepting of each other you know-they were great for me last year so why should you be any different?"

Sam shrugged, in truth he knew that he couldn't keep Ethan a secret and nor did he really want to but the thought of being that exposed to a group of people that he did in a strange way view as friends…

"I don't know" he said finally swirling a spoon around his coffee.

He paused later that night leaning back against the bed reaching for his sheet music. In exactly twenty-four hours he was going to sing in front of hundreds of people, and yes…his son.

Singing wasn't a problem, really it was quite fun but there was still the whole thing with singing in front of his parents but he didn't really care when they staggered of stage after finally coming in joint with Kurt's new schools choir, Quinn was there kissing him, smiling and grinning and well…really…he didn't want that to stop.

Artie and Britney were over in one corner celebrating, Rachel was pouting while Finn was shooting her looks in the green room.

And then naturally like most of the other things in Sam's life the happy moment was ruined. "Sam" Quinn muttered under her breath and Sam turned around to see his seven year old brother without his parents dragging his barely standing still to his sleep deprived mind, "Stevie what the hell?" he asked letting Ethan lean his head against his shoulder. "Where the hell is mom and dad?"

Stevie shrugged flipping out his phone acting more like a seventeen year old rather than the seven year old he was and Sam growled under his breath. "Well who's this?" Rachel asked her voice softening to an almost gentle-maternal instinct tone.

Well there really was no backing out now. Not with Finn, Puck and Quinn looking at him with their wide eyed encouragement. "Well everyone…" he said nudging Stevie into a chair and rocking a now sleeping Ethan against his shoulder "I suppose you all know my brother Stevie so I suppose you should meet Ethan" he paused "This is my son"

It was quite comical. Mike nodded noting of course the pictures that were covered in his locker and no doubt kicking himself from lack of realisation. Santana nodded to herself proving Quinn's opinion that she knew everything she whispered something to Britney who nodded looking less confused.

Artie and Tina both looked shocked but recovered themselves in time, Mercedes eyes widened but she managed a small smile in his direction. Rachel smiled a softer smile than Sam had ever seen her give and moved to his side. "That's ok Sam, we don't bite or judge" she said her brown eyes meeting his and wide with some sort of compassion and Sam paused realising with a sudden flash that Rachel had two gay parents-in a roundabout way that she too knew what it was like to be worried about the reactions of your friends-he made a resolve to be nicer to her from now on. "Thanks for telling us"

Quinn caught his eye and smiled that same bright smile and for the first time in a long time cuddling his son close to him and surrounded by his friends Sam allowed himself to believe in something he hadn't felt or believed in, in a long time.

Hope.

Stay tuned and let me know what you think. I will update as soon as my workload allows x
