AN: Hey Everyone! :)

I'm back... Been away TOO long! Lol

I apologize... Writer's block is a BITCH! But I think I'm FINALLY now happy with this chapter. :)

Took several months to finish but we are here... Lol!

It took a long time because not only writer's block but both my betareader and I have been very busy so we decided to put this story on the backburner until we were BOTH happy with it and decided to work on other projects instead. I never forgot about you guys or this story.

Thank you to my betareader umbrella0326! You rock! Lol ;)

The places said here are real places in Ohio but I'm using them fictiously here.

I hope some questions you guys may have had get answered here. If you have more questions, let me know. I'll try my best to answer them.

Its a short chapter but I promise it will get longer.

Starts where last chapter ended. Its been a week since last chapter which means Sebastian is six weeks pregnant.

Lets see how that goes... Shall we? Please review. Please be kind. Have a great day!-ILOVESMESOMEGLEEX3

Enjoy!

Chapter 10

"How dare he tell me what to do! Its my body!" Sebastian slams his hand on his bed as he's lying down resting, the late Monday afternoon sun shining in his windows greets him. At that very moment he's talking about Mickey, he feels the baby kick like he or she is agreeing with Sebastian. Sebastian laughs a little loud at the baby's little reaction, surprised Sebastian laughs some more and shakes his head.

"You silly little thing you!"

Sebastian knows it's probably too early to feel "the little one" he fondly named his baby for now, but none the more he feels something move so he thinks he or she is kicking. He'll go with that. Sebastian looks down and fondly smiles at his stomach running his long skinny fingers softly across his growing belly. It's still too early, it being only six weeks, but ever so slowly Sebastian's stomach is getting bigger, soon he'll have to wear baggy clothes and waddle to his classes...

Soon he'll have to tell his parents. And face the shitstorm coming his way when they find out. He knows he can't put off telling his parents forever but he hasn't had the balls to say the news out loud. How can he say to his parents he's expecting? A boy expecting... Their boy. Their son. A boy! A guy about to push out a baby in nine months! How? There was no easy way when Sebastian is still processing this himself.

Sebastian sighs loudly and decides to push those thoughts FAR away as possible.

Sebastian's bump is hardly noticeable unless you were really looking. BUT it was there hiding away like a little secret and for now it would have to be a secret.

Sebastian sighs louder. He switches his mind back to Mickey.

"I guess I can't be TOO mad. After all Mickey has been such a GOOD friend to me. He was just trying to help." Sebastian's stomach turns and twists making it uncomfortable to lie on his back anymore. Sebastian grumbles and turns on his left side facing his wall. It doesn't help much but he doesn't know what else to do.

He tries to go back to his train of thought but his stomach began to bother him and become so annoying that he couldn't concentrate on anything else.

He tossed and turned on his bed until he couldn't take it anymore. The ache in his belly was becoming unbearable.

"I need to get out of here. I can't think here." Sebastian whispers as he gets up, grabs his car keys and heads downstairs to head off anywhere but home.

Just as he was about to head outside Sebastian feels the baby kick and he smiles.

"Let's get out of here." He fondly rubs his stomach and locks the front door behind him.

.

Irritated. Annoyed. Aggravated. Exasperated. Even wound up. Sebastian's furrowed eyebrows said it all as he started his burgundy Beamer. And as he pulled out onto the street, the sun immediately flamed his eyes. He angrily flipped the visor down and he took off like a shot.

Of course, it didn't take very long to get to a red light. Still, it felt good to at least gun the engine and take off at high speed. Sebastian even almost smiled.

After a left turn onto Robb Avenue, he found a nice cruising speed and just barely started to relax. There wasn't very much to look at on this side of Lima – gas stations, churches, some homes, etc. But he wasn't there for the scenery. He was on his way to…somewhere.

Somewhere. Sebastian's eyes widened as he approached a red light on Metcalf Street. He sat there as absolutely no traffic was around. A heavy sigh fell out of his mouth and he looked to his left. A left turn onto Metcalf Street would eventually take him to Scandals– Lima, Ohio's only gay bar.

His interest perked…. That was until he realized the bar was closed. And it's not like he could enjoy a beer or anything. Plus, a trick is the absolute WORST thing for him. And his…baby. Sebastian brightened a little when a pleasant memory hit him for a hot minute.

That's where he met Dave.

A quick shake of his head seemed to grant him a green light and he gunned the engine once again to get away from Metcalf Street. Away from Scandals Away from the past.

There were no more thoughts as he approached Elida Road, turning right. But when he started to accelerate, a surprising thought hit him.

Strawberry milkshake.

A rub of his belly told him who wanted it. Even though Sebastian hated strawberries and anything strawberry flavored, he found himself turning into one of the few remaining ice cream stands, not too far from Cable Road. And after that task was done, strawberry milkshake in hand, he bravely took a sip as he got back on Elida Road. His face scrunched up in disgust at the taste, but it was surprisingly soothing to his belly. Every pregnant person knows what that means.

Finally, he approached the Elida Road/Cable Road intersection where the Lima Mall stood.

Shopping. Sebastian brightened. The car found a parking place.

He got out of his car and locked the door. Milkshake in hand, he looked at the expanse of the mall itself. It stretched for approximately an 1/8 of a mile, once the glory of this small, shitty town. Regardless, it was the best place to get the best of everything and anything. Sebastian finally smiled.

As soon as he entered, he was inundated with the typical sounds and smells of a Midwestern shopping mall – hot pretzels, sale announcements, bright lights of stores, mothers disciplining their kids, people walking like zombies, etc. It appealed to Sebastian immediately.

He carefully avoided Macys. His dad got on him about his spending before and besides, he could lose himself in that store. Instead, Sebastian walked and simply window-shopped. He sipped on his milkshake once in a while. A crying little girl brought out an 'ohhhh' face as her mother scooped her up. He even came to a stop, watching them pass him.

I'LL HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR THAT, Sebastian thought. After a quick stroke of his belly, he took another drink and went on his merry way. Near the center of the mall, a giant, ugly fountain that wasn't even turned on stood in his way. He could smell the addictive Cinnabon buns. Breathing deeply, he almost went into Abercrombie & Fitch, but decided not to.

All in all, Sebastian was having a good time. Who knew window-shopping could be so fun?

That was until he neared Gymboree. Sebastian came to a full stop as he stared at onesies, twosies, and Disney-themed baby clothes. He put the straw of his shake in his mouth and bit into it. Of course, nothing was on sale, but he picked up a little Navy outfit. He produced an awed smile as he turned it around and around. And when he looked back at the display table, a very cute Lion King onesie made him drop the outfit.

"Hi there!"

Sebastian practically screamed and whirled around. But as he did so, the lid on his shake flew off and nearly half of its contents splashed on David Karofsky's shirt.

"Dave!" Sebastian exclaimed. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! You freaked me-!"

"I know." Dave calmly replied, using his hand to wipe his green shirt. "It's fine. I'll wash it out later. And…sorry for scaring you."

"Oh, that's OK." He almost started stroking the stains on Dave's shirt, but refrained.

"Again, I'm so incredibly sorry."

"It really is OK." And there it was. That calming, reassuring Karofsky smile that secretly melted Seb's resolve in the past. And even now, it helped the situation, but not the sudden tension. They stared at each other for just a moment and Seb dropped the onesie.

"So, how have you been?"

"Me? Oh fine. You?"

Dave's eyes narrowed just a little. "I'm good. I'm just here killing time. Albert and I are checking out dorms at school later today."

"Albe-?" Sebastian started to ask, but then he remembered. He kept his temper in check. "Oh yeah, that guy at the Lima Bean."

"Yeah…" Dave took a step closer to him. "What happened that-?"

"Who's Albert?"

Dave resisted the urge to chuckle at Seb's deflection.

"He's a friend. We're going to the same college this autumn." He must've sensed Seb's question in his mind. "We're not together, Seb."

"I know." Seb quickly said. "I didn't ask. I suppose it's nice to have…"

The question about what happened at the Lima Bean was killing Dave. But knowing Seb, he'd just redirect again.

"So, why are you looking at baby clothes?"

Of all the unfortunate times for this to happen, that familiar darting pain coursed through his abdomen. His body jolted forward just a bit, his eyes closed, and he resisted the urge to caress his belly. Instead, he hid everything as much as he could.

"Niece." Sebastian stammered through the pain. "Clothes. For baby shower."

Dave looked a little suspicious. "And I thought you hated strawberry-"

"I gotta go, Dave. It was nice to see-"

And with that, Sebastian could no longer withstand the pain. He clutched his belly and practically ran away.

Stunned, Dave just watched him go. There were even more questions now in David Karofsky's head. However, he had no choice but to shrug and walk the other way.
