So another chapter-Watching this episode reminded me that Mr Shue acted inappropriately towards Quinn if anyone said that to my child especially a teacher I would complain which is what Sam's doing, he's acting as a parent even though Quinn isn't his child.

Baby Trouty Mouth

Chapter 25-3x02-I Am Unicorn

Sam returns to pick up the pieces of a fractured Glee club, Quinn and Puck get the shock of their lives and Sam has a few words for Mr Shue about his treatment of Quinn.

He had barely managed to get settled in before the gossipy vultures swooped down. The entire club was still being rocked from Mr Shue's shocking decision to kick Santana out and by the transformation that had taken place within Quinn.

Sam had caught the full force of the transformation when he had opened the door one Saturday afternoon to find a pink-haired nose ringed Quinn staring at him from the other side. He was suddenly very glad that Burt and Carole were at work and that he wasn't going back to school until tomorrow.

"Hi" she said bluntly crossing over the threshold without being invited in. Sam gazed at her with wide eyes "Holy shit" he said without flinching and Quinn's mouth turned up into a bizarre version of what had once been a genuine smile. Now it came out as more of a deformed smirk.

"It's the hair" she informed him "Never the tattoo, never the nose ring, the pink highlights however…that's what seems to shock all the little Glee saints"

"You're having a breakdown?" Sam asked carefully but Quinn's scoff went over him "God you sound like Rachel" she said leaning against the corner of the door. "She thinks this entire thing is about what happened last year. That I've gone off the deep end because she kisses Finn not even forty eight hours after he breaks up with me"

Sam paused unsure of what to say. But whatever would have forced itself out of his mouth was quickly stilled by Ethan who came round the corner and into Quinn's line of sight.

"Nice hair" he said in his four year old way and Quinn beamed-the real smile picking him up and hooking her onto her hip her fingers tickling him in a way that made Ethan squeal with laughter.

"You see…your son gets it…how a four year old can get it and the rest of those idiots don't is unreal"

She giggled again "You know Artie asked me if I was hooked on drugs…in front of Tina and Mike" she grinned manically "I don't know who was more shocked Mike or Tina"

Sam watched her cautiously "Yeah but that's not why you're here?" he asked as she dropped Ethan back down "Is it?"

Quinn's face seemed to crumple for the briefest of seconds before she became every inch the Ice Queen she had been before her transformation into Indie Queen of the Night or whatever.

"Shelby is back" she spat breathing heavily her hands forming into fists "She's back to teach and she and Rachel are doing duets and she's letting Puck see my baby"

Oh.

Oh. Shit.

"And she won't let you" Sam said without even guessing why Quinn was here. She nodded her face contorting.

"I gave Beth away on the condition that I wouldn't have to see her again" she said finally "I ripped my whole heart out that day on the basis that my child, that my daughter would have a better life that she wouldn't have to grow up in Ohio and then she comes back and judges me as I try to cope…" her voice rose bordering on desperation and Sam couldn't do anything but listen.

"I try to cope and then I have Puck, and Shelby and Rachel-fucking Berry telling me what I should be and that I can't have access or see my child until I clean up my act…that was only my child, that daughter had only lived in me for nine months and I only think about her every day of my life and these people Sam…these people think they have the right to judge me!"

She broke off choking on her words burring her face into the crook of her elbow her voice dying out as she finally gave into what Sam suspected was two years' worth of emotion.

He moved them finally reaching out and pulling her into his arms letting her sob and scream all of her frustrations out into his chest.

"If you want your baby back" he said carefully touching on the one thing he imagined that Quinn was here for "The somethings are gonna have to change you know"

And he breathed a sigh of relief when he realised that Quinn was nodding into his chest. He looked down at the pink mess. "You really got do something about your hair" he said finally and smiled into the short strands when he heard Quinn's muffled laugh.

It was a start…a small start but it was a start if nothing else.

That night he helped Quinn dye her hair back, he put the girl in the bath and wrapped her in his dressing gown and sat behind her as he re-dyed her hair blonde shivering and wet and like a child in his arms.

Sam wrapped both his arms around her pulling her back against his chest like he would with Ethan when he had a nightmare.

"Gonna be alright Quinn" he said finally "It's all going to be alright"

"Sam" Mr Shue said in the way of greeting as he slowly packed away his bag after the rehearsal. The entire group were re-reading the script for West Side Story. It sounded a bit 'Romeo and Juliet' with songs but Sam had to admit it sounded interesting.

"I hope everything was alright with your family?" Mr Shue asked as Rachel realised that he wasn't moving and left the room looking disheartened.

"Yeah thanks. I heard the mother of Quinn's baby is back?" he asked in response and Mr Shue nodded "Yeah, she's gonna run a separate group, you know…for the kids that wanna run Glee but just aren't quite there yet"

Sam nodded before he looked around the empty room just to make sure that Rachel Berry's ghost wasn't lurking around watching for the slightest weakness to pry on.

"Mr Shue" he said before pausing, gathering his courage "I say this with all due respect and when I walk out of this room this will be the end of this conversation but let me make something clear…I heard about what you said to Quinn, and if you ever, ever, speak to her or anyone else like that again or say what you said again then I will report you not only to Principal Figgins but to Sue Sylvester and the School Board"

He turned around on his heel and walked out the room.

Unknowingly he left his teacher stunned into silence.

He passed Quinn's locker on the way, she was dressed in a white dress, her blonde hair short and straight and her eyeliner slightly more manageable.

"Hang in there" he muttered to her and Quinn nodded turning her expression of the sweetest smile that Sam knew was filled with poison. It had been the smile that he had seen her direct to the members of the Glee Club, Puck, Rachel, Finn all the people that had hurt her.

Revenge was coming.

And Sam Evans really couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.

Bring it on.

Hopeful update soon
