A/N: Thanks for all of the reviews and new followers! :) Gonna skip ahead a bit now and have a bit of fluff, methinks. Lots of irons in this fire, so I'll do my best. Oh and there may be a male pregnancy...so no flames. You have been warned. As always, I don't own glee. This season wouldn't be so terrible, if I did.

Chapter Eleven

Rachel POV

Rachel had spent the better part of the last three and a half months trying to fight off what she thought was the flu. It was only when she saw her sister and Brittany exhibiting the same symptoms that she realized that it could be something different. She was more surprised that Santana was pregnant than her own pregnancy. After all, it was no secret that Jesse and Santana fought constantly and that Santana spent more nights kicking Sam out of his and Rachel's room than sleeping with Jesse.

It was on one of these nights that Rachel awoke to find her sister climbing into bed next to her. Rachel groaned, pulling her nightgown on over her head. She didn't want to sleep naked next to her own sister. That was just too weird. "Santi...why can't you sleep in your own bed, just this once?" she said sleepily.

"Rai, I just can't," Santana said, snuggling up to her sister.

"I wanna sleep with Sam..." Rachel slurred.

"If I spend one more night this week with Jesse, one of us is going to end up with his head on a pike," Santana said. "Go back to sleep, Rai."

"Okay, but this is the last time," Rachel said. "Or I'm telling Mom and Dad."

Santana smirked. "Midget, we're not little kids anymore," she said. "You can't go running off and telling our parents every time stuff doesn't go your way."

"No," Rachel mumbled into her pillow. "But I can put you two in a time out and make you play nice."

Santana snickered. "And just how do you suppose you'll do that?" she asked.

"I have my ways," Rachel said, yawning. "Besides, if you stay here tonight, you may have to hold my hair while I vomit..."

"What?" Santana asked, sitting bolt upright. "You too?"

Rachel nodded. "For weeks now," she said. "You?"

Santana nodded. "I thought it was some disease or something in the water..." she said.

"But Sam and Jesse are fine," Rachel said.

Santana nodded. "And Quinn and her aunt seemed fine..." she said.

"So just you and me, then?" Rachel asked.

"Britt was sick too," Santana said. "I snuck into her room the other night and made Jesse sleep with his damn brother."

Rachel laughed. "Oh I bet that went over well," she said.

Santana grinned. "You should have seen Finn's face," she said. "You'd have thought that I told him that Santa Claus isn't real or something."

"Santi..that's mean," Rachel scolded.

"I wanted to take care of my girl," Santana said, pouting.

"Are you still mad about all of that?" Rachel asked, holding her sister close.

"Kind of," Santana said. "I mean, Britts does seem to be happy with the big doofus, so I can't be too mad...but it's just..."

Rachel nodded. "Not what you expected," she said. "And not what you wanted...unlike Sam and I and Kurt and Blaine...and even Cooper and April."

"Yeah..." Santana said. "I mean...I kind of like Jesse, but then there are moments when I really want him to get out of my face and go kill a mountain troll or something. You know?"

Rachel laughed. "Like the one in The Sorcerer's Stone?" she asked.

Santana blushed. "Damn Harry Potter..." she said. "Yes."

Rachel snorted. "Would you like him better if he killed one for you?" she asked.

"I...I don't know," Santana said, sighing.

"Have you told him about the baby?" Rachel said.

"No..." Santana said, embarrassed. "I don't want to give him a big head about it."

"Santi...he needs to know he'll be a daddy soon," Rachel said.

"Have you told Sam?" Santana asked.

"I was going to before you kicked him out," Rachel retorted.

"Oh, sorry," Santana said, sheepishly.

"It's alright. Just apologize to Sam in the morning?"

Santana nodded. "I will, Rai," she said, yawning.

"Night, Santi," Rachel said.

"Night, Rai," Santana replied.

Sam POV

Sam had found his way to an empty bed in the castle. He felt bad for Jesse, but not bad enough to share a bed with his wife's brother-in-law. He would speak to Jesse about Santana in the morning, but for now, he just wanted sleep. He missed sleeping beside Rachel. Even though she'd been sick for weeks, it was better than sleeping alone. He sighed, crumpling his pillow up under his head and pulling the bedding over his face.

Sam soon fell asleep, clutching the other pillow in his arms and wishing it was his wife. He wondered if Quinn or Britt had done this to their husbands. And he wondered if Kurt or Blaine would do this. Surely not, right? He knew if it were one of his sisters, he'd have thrown something at them and made them get out. Rachel and Santana didn't seem to be those kinds of siblings. Hell, if Brittany or Quinn pulled this crap, Sam probably would take Puck or Finn out in the courtyard and give them a talking to. They were his best friends, after all.

Sam rolled over hours later as the sun was coming through the windows. He sighed, throwing the bed things off and putting on his robe. His valet would never find him in this room, so he went back to the suite he shared with Rachel where his valet was waiting.

"Sleep alright, Your Highness?" the valet asked, pretending not to notice that Sam came from the wrong direction.

"Honestly? No," Sam answered, dropping his robe and allowing his valet to help him dress.

"Still having trouble with your sister-in-law?" the valet asked.

"Yes," Sam said through gritted teeth. "Is she still in my bedchamber?"

"Her maids escorted her out just about ten minutes ago, sir," the valet replied.

"Good, then I can have a chat with my wife in peace," Sam said, getting the first layer of clothing on finally.

Sam's valet nodded. "Are things not well between you?" he asked.

"It's not a problem between Princess Raina and I," Sam stated. "She and I are fine."

"Even with her in her current state?" the valet asked, fastening Sam's jerkin with his belt.

"Her being sick is not the problem," Sam said, fastening the cuffs around his wrists.

"Oh," the valet said. "So she hasn't told you?"

"Told me what?" Sam asked, looking at the valet as if for the first time.

"Congratulations are in order, sir," the valet said, smiling. "You're going to be a father."

"I'm...what?" Sam asked, feeling as if he was just told he was going to be a king. (Okay so he was, someday, but still.)

"Your wife is expecting," the valet said, turning Sam around for a quick inspection and brush down.

Sam smiled at himself in the mirror and broke away from his valet, throwing open his bedroom. "Rachel?" he called out.

Rachel grinned, coming from her own chamber. "Yes, Love?" she said.

Sam closed the distance between them and scooped her up, twirling her around and kissing her passionately. "Is it true?" he asked, holding her close.

Rachel nodded, still smiling widely. "It was never the flu," she said. "We're having a baby."

Sam smiled, stroking her back. "Is that what you and your sister talked about all night?" he asked.

"No, we actually slept," Rachel said. "But she does know. And she and Jesse are having a baby too."

Sam smirked. "I'll bet Jesse is thrilled."

"We'll find out," Rachel said, leading him through their suite and down to the dining hall.

Shelby and Will were already there, along with Cooper, April, Puck, Quinn, Beth, Blaine, and Kurt. The family were talking animatedly amongst themselves when Rachel and Sam came in.

"Where's Santi?" Rachel asked, kissing her mother and father's cheeks.

"She and Jesse haven't come down yet," Shelby said, returning the kiss. "You look better, darling."

Rachel grinned at Sam. "I feel better," she said. "And we have some news, but I want Santi and Jesse here to hear it."

Sam grinned at his in-laws, leading Rachel to their seats.

"You are unbelievable!" Jesse's voice roared down the hall.

"I'm unbelievable?" Santana shot back indignantly. "Because I can't imagine raising a child with you?"

"Mother of all that is holy," Blaine said, looking at Rachel and knowing that his sisters were very close. "Please tell me they're not serious."

"I can't," Rachel said. "I can't lie to you."

"I told you they'd last," Kurt said. "Pay up."

Blaine sighed. "When we get back to the room," he said. "I don't want to embarrass myself in front of my brothers."

Puck and Cooper smirked to each other.

"What did you promise the wife, Benny?" Cooper asked.

"Carlo," April warned. "Leave your little brother alone."

Cooper looked at April sheepishly and shrank back.

Rachel, Blaine, and Puck laughed at their brother's expense.

Throughout this exchange, Santana and Jesse were still yelling at each other, but the family had tuned them out until they actually reached the dining hall.

"I'm not raising your demon spawn with you," Santana growled. "I'll give it to Blaine and Kurt to raise first."

"Like hell you will," Jesse said. He looked over at his brother. "No offense, Con, but I want to raise my own kid."

Kurt held up his hands in defense. "None taken," he said. "I'd rather do the same."

Blaine smiled, patting Kurt's arm. "We will," he said. "And soon."

Shelby and Will looked at each other and grinned. "Have you boys been experimenting?" she asked.

Blaine and Kurt gave Shelby sheepish grins.

"We have," Blaine said, "The first two times...didn't work. But then we figured out which one of us was the better carrier..."

Kurt blushed, holding his husband's hand. "Guilty as charged," he said.

"Congratulations," Rachel said, kissing her twin's cheek.

"You too," Blaine said, smiling. "I heard you and Santi talking last night."

Rachel blushed.

"Three babies on the way?" Will asked, looking at his children.

"Four," Cooper said, putting his arm around April and kissing her cheek.

Shelby blinked. "Four grandchildren on the way... and one already here," she said, smiling at Puck, Quinn and Beth.

"I feel like we should be starting on a baby brother or sister for Beth," Quinn whispered to Puck.

Puck smiled, bouncing Beth on his lap. "Maybe we should," he said, kissing his daughter's head and causing Beth to giggle.

Quinn bit her lip.

"Luce, it'll be fine," Sam sent to his twin through their link.

"Quinn," Puck said, kissing her temple. "We're going to be monarchs someday. And we're married now, so having another child is allowed. Plus, we're about the same age that my parents were when Carlo was born."

Quinn sighed. "I know," she said.

"I suddenly feel old," Shelby said to Will.

"Never," Will said, kissing her cheek.

"Hey now," Cooper said, laughing. "We all know I was your practice kid."

Their other children and children-in-laws laughed.

"I'm as surprised as you are," April said, leaning over to Shelby.

"You will be careful, right?" Shelby asked her friend.

"Course I will, Scar," April promised.

"She'll be fine," Cooper said, holding his wife close.

Sam smiled, kissing Rachel's cheek as they watched. "Something definitely was in the water," he said to her.

Rachel laughed. "Brittany drank it too," she said.

"I hope she and Finn are excited," Sam said.

"I'll bet they are," Rachel said. "We can see them later."

"I was thinking of spending lunch with her and Quinn." Sam said. "And the spouses and Beth, of course."

"And your parents?" Rachel asked, smiling.

"If they're up to it, sure," Sam said, smiling.

"This calls for a celebration," Will said, grinning.

"Not another ball, please, Dad," Santana said.

"No," Will said. "But there will be a mass christening for these babies later on."

"Another first for the kingdom," Shelby said. "The first multiple christening since Raina and Benedetto's birth. And the first time more than three babies were christened in generations."

Santana sighed, pulling away from Jesse.

"Santi?" Will said.

"You all may want to celebrate this," Santana said, standing up. "But I want to just leave. I actually want to go back to Lima and never come back here again." She stormed out of the room.

The rest of the family looked at each other and didn't really know what to do.

Jesse stood up. "I guess I should go after her," he said.

"No, we'll go," Rachel said, looking at her brothers. "Won't we?"

Blaine and Cooper nodded.

Puck sighed. "Think she'd listen if we brought the munchkin along?" he said.

Rachel smiled at her niece. "It couldn't hurt," she said.

Puck stood up and placed Beth on his hip. "Give Mommy kisses," he said.

Beth smiled, kissing Quinn's cheek.

"Go get Auntie Tana," Quinn said, grinning.

Beth smiled.

"We'll be here when you get back," Sam said, kissing Rachel.

Rachel POV

Rachel looked at her brothers and her niece, hoping that the five of them could talk sense into Santana. "I hope this works," she said.

"Santi's stubborn, but so are the rest of us," Cooper said.

"And Bethy has the cute thing going for her," Puck said, kissing his daughter's cheek.

Beth giggled. "I koot," she said.

"Yes, you are, Bethy," Rachel said, smiling.

Blaine smiled. "Maybe if we just send Beth in by herself?"

"No, we all go," Rachel said firmly.

Cooper and Puck grinned.

"After you, Tiny," Puck said.

Rachel turned the corner to Santana and Jesse's suite and opened the door. "Tana," she said. "We're coming in."

"Go away," Santana said from her closet.

"No go Auntie Tana," Beth said.

"Oh that is dirty," Santana said, coming out of her closet and looking at her brothers, sister, and niece. "You brought the baby in to sway me into staying?"

"Is it working?" Puck asked, holding Beth out to his sister and smiling hopefully.

Santana frowned at her brother and took Beth from him. "Nope," she said, popping the P.

"Why Auntie Tana mad at Unca Jesse?" Beth asked.

Blaine and Rachel had to pinch each other to keep from "aww"ing at their niece.

"Aww sweet pea," Santana said, stroking Beth's back as she held the little girl in her arms. "Auntie Tana and Unca Jesse are just being silly."

"Why?" Beth asked.

"Because big people are silly sometimes," Santana said, kissing Beth's forehead.

"Stay for Beffy?" Beth said, her eyes shining up at her aunt. "Pease?"

Santana sighed and looked over at Noah. "She gets that from you, doesn't she?" she asked.

"Maybe," Noah said, giving her a lopsided smile.

Santana looked back at Beth and smiled. "Alright, little one," she said. "I'll stay."

Beth grinned. "I love you Auntie Tana," she said, giving Santana a kiss on the cheek.

"Love you too, munchkin," Santana said, giving Beth an Eskimo kiss.

Rachel beamed at her sister. "I was going to hunt you down if you left, you know," she said.

"So was I," Blaine said, grinning.

"You can't get rid of us that easily, Santi," Cooper said, hugging Santana and Beth.

"Why am I not surprised?" Santana said, hugging Cooper with her free arm.

"You want me to talk to Jesse for you?" Noah offered.

"No," Santana said. "He's my husband, I'll talk to him."

"He does love you, San," Rachel said.

"He loves you more, Rai," Santana said, frowning.

"Let's not go there," Rachel said, frowning too. "Just...agree to disagree with him on occasion?"

"I can try that," Santana said. "Just...I don't want the baby growing up with two parents who fight all the time..."

"Best thing to do is to pick your battles, kiddo," Cooper said, smiling."I learned that the hard way."

"With April?" Santana asked.

Cooper shook his head. "No...I was married before," he said.

Blaine blinked. "How did I not know that?" he asked.

"Because it only lasted a week, and I was away on a commercial shoot at the time," Cooper said, sighing. "I'm not proud of it."

"I can only promise to do my best," Santana said. "It's half his problem."

Rachel nodded. "You have to stay though, so our babies can grow up together and be best friends," she said.

Santana and the boys laughed.

Rachel grinned sheepishly. "It's kind of a dream of mine," she said.

"It's adorable, Rai," Blaine said, kissing her cheek. "And I want that for our babies too."

"And Beth too," Puck said, looking at his daughter and smiling.

Beth grinned, snuggling up to Santana.

"You still mad that we bribed you to stay with Beth's cuteness," Noah asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Nahh, I'm over it," Santana said. "I need to grow up and be a better wife."

Noah smiled. "You will be," he said.

"Come on back to breakfast with us?" Rachel asked.

Santana rolled her eyes. "Fine," she said.

Rachel and their brothers snickered. She led the way back to the dining hall, hoping that Santana and Jesse could at least be pleasant through one meal. As her brothers rejoined their wives and she rejoined Sam, Rachel watched Santana sit beside Jesse and avoid making eye contact with him. Rachel raised her eyebrow in her sister's direction.

"What are you doing?" Rachel asked her sister through their link.

"Trying not to start a fight," Santana responded.

"Talk to him," Rachel insisted. All three of their brothers looked over at the two girls and nodded, having heard the exchange.

Santana bit her lip. "Jesse...I'm sorry I blew up earlier," she said quietly. "And I promised Rachel and my brothers...and Beth too, that I wouldn't leave."

Jesse nodded. "I'm sorry too," he said. "I want this to work. But we need to talk instead of yelling."

Santana opened her mouth to retort but closed it, feeling as if four feet kicked her under the table. Rachel, Blaine, Puck and Cooper had all screamed "No!" through their link at her. "Alright," was all she managed to say.

"I'm happy that we're having a child together," Jesse admitted, taking her hand in his.

Rachel shot her sister a warning look as she saw Santana try to pull away. Santana squeezed his hand instead and smiled. "I...I am too," she said.

A/N: This sort of got away from me, but in a good way. Questions, comments, suggestions, and reviews are all welcomed! Just please no suggestions that I off myself or name-calling, k? Thanks. Oh and this week's episode finally didn't make me want to flog RIB with a horde of wet noodles, so yay for that! But what the hell was Santana thinking?
