Hi sorry it's been so long! like I said school is taking a priority and therefore updates are slow. This chapter is short-I didn't want to go into detail on this one-I love the episode for different reasons other than Sam who really doesn't play a big part in it so it was all about Sam feeling betrayed by the world.
Also watched Glee last week-Sam, Besite, Sue-that's an alliance... and I hope to God Ryan does something with Mason and Spencer-three episodes and I ship them for some strange reason...
Next Chapter-Silly Love Songs-The lines between Sam, Quinn and Finn are unwittingly drawn and Sam helps his three year old with a Girl Problem...
Disclaimer-only one thing is mine-Guess!
And please review and tell me what you thought...
Baby Trouty Mouth
Chapter 12-2x11-The Sue Sylvester Shuffle
Sam deals with the fallout, tries to win a championship, celebrates Ethan's birthday with a whirlwind of emotion and hates the whole world...
It hadn't been as bad as he expected. However the whispers and stares had stopped the second Sam's fist had connected with Jacob's nose.
"He was three" he shouted for most of the school to hear "He was three and you posted a picture online you pervert?"
That had changed perception of him in less than an hour. The football team had been torn between the natural need to gossip amongst themselves and the basic need to not act like they were looking at the pictures of Sam and his son.
Finn and Puck both being given the week to find out what they could do had spun a tragic (and not entirely true) story which had most of the school (and Cheerio's) on his side by lunchtime.
Sam really didn't know what to say. Anything other than the knowledge that he had his son-his innocent Ethan who didn't know anything other the wiser was enough for him.
"Thanks" he said to Finn one day over Coffee and Finn looked up from where he was scooping his whipped cream to smile "Don't worry about it man" he said grinning. "To be honest you kinda had most of the team on your side anyway. Not a lot of people find themselves in your predicament. Underneath the teasing I think that their all a bit frightened about the fact that it could have been them"
Sam blinked. He had never in over three years ever seen it that way.
Go figure.
The championship game had been a mess from start to finish. While he had received nothing but respect (and in the cases of Azimio, Karofsky and Strando it had been like pulling teeth) from the rest of the team for being a teenage father it seemed the stigma still applied if you were a member of the Glee Club.
Then to cap it all off the (lunatics) teachers had the idea of setting the two teams in the same room. Sam could tell how that was going to end.
The only cloud in the dark night was the fact that if it went up into a fight then he would get the chance to beat something up and get rid of all the unwanted tension that was steadily growing.
Karofsky's face seemed like a good place to start.
And yet even when they did get their shit together Sam couldn't control the burning feeling in his stomach that made him so angry he felt sick.
Because God damn it Ethan was his little boy…
Ethan was his baby and somebody had taken pictures of his baby when he hadn't been looking and posted them on an amateur blog to increase his personality completely unaware or uncaring of the dangers that, that alone had presented.
Yeah Sam wanted blood.
As it turned out he never got it not with the team at any rate. But he would be loath to admit that pushing Finn the man who had bought him the news that day. The man who had encouraged him to join this club that was now involving cold shaved ice being thrown at him.
Things had been going well until Finn had gotten involved.
He had been lifeless and listless and for the first time since getting sole custody of his son he let his mother take care of everything.
"Snap out of it" his dad said quietly as Sam curled up on the couch looking for the assembled mess of presents. "I get that you're angry, I get that your hurt but you don't have the time to focus on that…focus on your son and for God sakes Sam don't push away your friends"
Sam ignored him. It just seemed that everything that had gone good in his life had gone rubbish as soon as it had happened. Why for once could things go his way?
Ok so he wasn't stupid enough to believe that Ethan could go uncovered for the rest of his life but he did believe that he should be the one to tell the world of his existence.
Even at the championship game (which by the grace of God and some strange make up) they won he felt odd. He knew Quinn was pissed at him but he couldn't help but feel like he was stretching his own skin out. Trying to be somebody that he wasn't.
"You should go find your son" Azimio said casually slamming his locker shut "Celebrate with him" he grinned "I get it" he shrugged "You don't think we do but my mom and dad had me young and nobody else here is perfect" he held out his hand and feeling like he had stepped into another world Sam shook it.
Wow who knew a trophy could do so much?
And for the first time that night Sam went home and didn't worry.
Ethan's birthday had been organised by his mother while Sam had been departmentalising his emotions so the separate one which was dinner for the Glee club slash Ethan was held at breadsticks.
It was strange really how he had only been in this club for less than three months and how easily everyone had accepted him.
"Sorry" he whispered to Finn "For pushing you" something dark crossed Finn's face for a second "Don't worry" he replied finally reaching for the ice cream. "I'm not perfect myself"
It would take a while to realise what those words meant in the full and Sam didn't fully realise what was going to happen in a couple of weeks. Both in school and at home.
However right now he could have one day.
Next update should be shorter but stay tuned in case it isn't
