Hey here is the next chapter. Nothing really exciting happening here so I guess you could say it's a filler chapter.
Was the last chapter that bad? Because I only got four reviews. Anyway thank you to those who did review, favourite or alert this story it means a lot to me.
In response to BigTimeGleekBTR, yes the last chapter was a major turning point in their relationship. I am so glad you picked up on that. I feel that Rachel is a very insecure girl and she doesn't believe she is worthy enough for Sam and I just wanted to show her coming to terms of the fact that he loves her for the person she is.
Anyway hope you enjoy ;)

Chapter 21: A New Job
Sam's POV
It was five minutes before their break ended. Sam decided to visit his locker to retrieve his set book while Rachel had decided to go the bathroom. She had been doing that a lot, going to the bathroom that was. They had shared a few of their classes together and she would go at least two times in the one hour period. At first he thought something was wrong with her but he had read in one of her pregnancy books, when she wasn't looking of course, that it was totally normal. In fact if one didn't visit the bathroom then that was considered something wrong.
"You would never believe who just called me now!" Rachel exclaimed excitedly. Her presence took him by surprise and he almost jumped in the air when she pulled him away from his thoughts. Rachel being Rachel, she hadn't given him time to answer; too excited about the news she was to share. He closed his locker and turned to her, giving her his undivided attention.
"Daddy called and he had the most amazing news for me. Do you know that community centre like about 10 minutes from here?" her question was obviously rhetorical seeing as she continued with whatever she was saying, "the one that that I used to go to dance classes to when I was a little girl but due to some circumstances daddy insisted that I terminate the appointment. It is a really long story and frankly one that I do not wish to relive. Not now or ever. Anyways I got a job there. Isn't that wonderful? " she asked finally getting to her point.
Sam had stopped his walking and pulled her aside, ""what do you mean you got job. I wasn't even aware you were looking for one," he was angry.
Well he was more hurt than angry. How could she do that? Did she think he was not capable to looking after her and their children?
"I wasn't, looking that is. Well I was looking but not looking looking, I did glimpse at the newspaper rather frequently to see what they offered and do you know how difficult it is to find a job that doesn't require lifting heavy objects or being on your feet the whole day," she paused in her monologue to shudder at that thought.
"Daddy just phoned me to say that the community centre gives vocal lesson to students from pretentious schools and their vocal instructor just moved. The spot is vacant and daddy told them about me. I got the job. Do you know how benefitting that is to our situation?"
He rubbed the pad of his forefingers in a circular motion on his temples in an effort to calm himself down before he spoke. He knew just what happens when he spoke before thinking, "Rachel, you didn't need to get a job, we're fine, financially. You're pregnant. You can't afford to put more stress in your life."
The bell had rung and had prevented Rachel from responding to him. Students began milling around walking, talking on their way to their next class. He sighed and began walking to her class know that no more can be said on the matter, at least not now.
As they were walking Sam felt an unexpected tug on his wrist and the next thing he knew Rachel was pulling him into an empty classroom. She crossed her arms and then began to speak, "Sam it's not that I think you incapable of providing for us. In fact you're more than capable. It's just I feel guilty. I am an equal in this relationship and I want to contribute as much as I can. In fact I am perfect for this job and this job is perfect for this situation. It only requires me to work for 2 hours and in those two hours I can sit if I so desire. All I have to do is teach approximately 10 kids to make their voices better. They pay me 20 dollars a lesson, Sam do you have any idea how good that would be for us?"
He had to admit that if she did this it would increase their chances of doing this successfully a tenfold. He just didn't want her to feel like she had to work to prove herself.
"Fine," he succumbed, "when do you start?" he then gave her a small smile to show her he was still unhappy but not angry.
She beamed at him, clapped her hands and pulled him into a tight embrace, "thank you and I start today, after school from 4 to 6."
His shoulders dropped, "babe I can't take you. I have to work. I have shift tonight, remember?"
She groaned, "Right I forgot. Maybe Kurt can take me. I have geography with him next. I'll ask." She seemed happy with that idea.
They walked out of the empty class to find very few kids milling. Sam grasped Rachel hand in hers and proceeded to walk her to class.

Rachel's POV
Rachel was at an impasse. Sam was working today so that made it impossible for him to take her to work and Kurt had a family dinner that he could not afford to miss so that left her with a job she had no means of getting to and if she was unable to be present then there was a guarantee that at the end of the day there will be no more job available.
She was one her way from the bathroom again. Her bladder was just so uncontrollable these days. She passed the nurses office where she saw Noah lounging on the nurse's bed, casually, as if there wasn't a class he was supposed to be. That's when an idea struck. Maybe he could take her?
She made her way inside pass the nurse's desk and propped herself at the end of his bed. She crossed her arms over her chest in a defence position and changed her face to a glare that was directed at him. It took him a few seconds to realise and recognise a presence but eventually he did. His eyes popped open when he saw her but he didn't wake up.
"Noah, you're supposed to be in math class. How do you expect to pass and eventually get into a tertiary institution if you shirk off like this?"
He just looked at her puzzled and she didn't want to explain further plus she was missing class so she just decided to ask him what she came for in the first place, "what are you doing after school?"
His face contorted to show bewilderment before he answered her, "look Berry if you are asking me out on a date then one you're my best friends baby mama and two today is not a good day because my ma's makin' me clean my room," when he saw her eyes wide considerable he spoke again, "yeah I know how dare she? I mean I know my room is a mess but I know where the hell everything is."
She spluttered at his response and hastily began to explain herself, "I am not asking you out on a date Noah Puckerman. I just needed a favour. Sam's working today and Kurt has some big family thing that seems unavoidable and frankly I don't know anyone else who would be willing to take me expect for you but you're busy anyway so I'll just ask someone else," she said disappointedly.
"You know I could gone my whole life without knowin' the crap you just told me and I would be perfectly fine and I still have no idea what you what you want because everything you just said to me told me nothing and what aren't you asking me out on a date. Chicks dig the Puckasauras " he said nonchalantly.
She sighed in frustration, "I have a job, as a vocal instructor at the community centre but I have no transportation to and from the aforementioned location," she didn't not what to tell him exactly why she would never ask him on a date.
He pushed his hand out to emphasise his point, "see now that wasn't so hard. It would have been prefect if there were fewer words," he pushed his thumb and forefinger together until there was a tiny space between then, "and easier words."
"Is that a yes," she asked earnestly.
"Yeah what the hell."
