In The Pursuit Of Love ch. 38
Ever since I was a little girl, I knew what I wanted to be a Broadway star after seeing my first Broadway show. I was a natural at singing and dancing as I would dedicate all my time and energy into perfecting my craft as they was nothing that I wanted more than to sing my heart out in front of a large crowd, chanting my name. As the saying goes, if you want to make God laugh then tell him your plans although I am not giving up my dream for stardom even I'm currently a month and a half pregnant. I never saw myself becoming a mother at sixteen, I had thought that I would a lot further into my career with a penthouse and married to my sufficient other before starting a family but things don't always turn out that way.
I had thought that Finn Hudson would be my husband but I have come to the realization that he's not the one that I would spend the rest of my life and I am thankful that he's not as I find myself with someone that I didn't expect. I didn't expect of all people that Santana Lopez, self-proclaimed badass bitch, would have a crush on me but not only that as I'm carrying her unborn child as well as I'm happier than I have ever been. She treats me a hundred times better than the quarterback ever had as she listens to what I have to say, keeps me grounded when it seems like I'm drifting off into space but most importantly she treats me like a princess, doing minor things for me.
Sure that we have our fair share of arguments but we always manage to come back to each other. At the moment we had an argument about… well it's not really important what it was about as things were said and feelings were hurt before we weren't speaking to each other as I spent most of the day feeling light-headed and nauseous. I had physical education when my body just shut down on me as I collapsed on the floor of the gymnasium and by the time I had regained consciousness, I was lying on one of the beds in the infirmary.
I could hear Santana yelling in Spanish at the nurse before realizing that I was awake and she was instantly by my side in zero second, asking me a million and one questions as I could see the fear and worry etched on her face. My father and Mr Lopez have had a conversation with Principal Figgins and the nurse about my pregnancy and he wasn't too pleased about it. He did promise that my health is his main concern and will take every precaution to protect it but I should've been less careless with as I'm not the one that I have to worry about as I have to think for another person.
The nurse explains that the reason that I have been feeling light-headed and nauseous is because the baby is drawing energy from my body. My vegan diet isn't constructive to maintaining energy for myself and the baby as I need to incorporate more protein into my diet, meaning that I will have to eat some kind of meat if I want my child to be healthy. The last thing that I want to do is eat animal byproducts but I will do it if it means that my baby will be health as the nurse gives me a granola bar and a bottle of water with Santana watching over me in a chair, arms crossed with a far-off look on her face.
"Santana"
Santana looks up at me for a moment before getting up from the chair, pulling me into her arms as she hugs me tightly like she was if I was going to disappear in front of her. I wrapped my arms around her and we stayed like this for awhile before heading towards Glee because a few of them were in the gymnasium when I passed out and I'm sure that they have a few questions for me. The cheerleader talked a few times about telling the Glee club about the baby and the last thing that I want is for them to find out from a second-hand source. It's only a matter of time before the whole school finds out and who knows what will happen when it does and we're gonna need all the support that we can get. We walked into the choir to see several member looking at me worriedly before I'm bombarded with questions of concern as I'm overwhelmed with emotion that they're so worried about me as they have told me that I'm annoying.
"Are you okay, Rachel?" Kurt asked concerned.
"Yes, I'm fine now Kurt but thank you for the concern" I said smiling.
"What did the nurse say?" Tina asked curious.
"That I will have to make a few changes to my diet but there is something that Santana and I have been meaning to tell you all but we've uncertain of how you all would take the news but we didn't want you to find out from a second-hand source as it will soon be all over campus"
"Huh?" Brittany asked scratching her head in confusion.
"What Rachel is trying to say is that we should be the ones to tell you before it's all over school, Britt-Britt" Santana said condensing what I said previously.
"Oh okay" Brittany said smiling.
"Before what's all over campus?" Artie asked raising an eyebrow.
"That I'm pregnant"
"And before you start asking who is the baby's father is, it's my baby" Santana said crossing her arms. "For all you that need me to dumb down for you further, Rachel and me got down and dirty and got her pregnant"
"Santana" I said smacking her arm.
"What?! You know that they can be a little slow"
The Glee club looks at us in shock for a moment before Brittany hops out of her chair, lifting me into her arms then starting rubbing my belly affectionately and I didn't have the heart to tell her to stop. I know that I would have the dancer on our side as she truly doesn't have a mean bone in her body and I know that I have Quinn on our side while both blondes dubbed themselves to Auntie duties. Puck stands up, moving towards Santana as he threatens her to make sure that she doesn't abandon me with our child as I know that his own father had done that to him and little sister five years prior.
Kurt and Mercedes snapped out of their shock states to inquire how is it possible that the baby is Santana's if we're both girls as the Latina explains to them that she was born with a fully functional penis. Tina and Mike were shocked but they congratulated us and even offering to baby-sit for us if we need a break while Zizi looked like she couldn't care one way or another but stated that if anyone gives us a hell about the baby then she'll break their legs. The only one that hasn't said anything about is Finn as he just sits there, staring off into space before standing up to kick a chair as his face turns a bright red.
"You got to be kidding me. You got to be fuckin kidding me! You wouldn't give up to me and I dated you for a year and a half but you wouldn't give it up to me but you spread your legs for this slut after dating for a few weeks. What the hell, Rachel?!" Finn said angrily. "You let her get you pregnant and everyone's fucking okay with it. What kind of bullshit is that?! She's a fucking freak and that kid is a fucking abomination. Who knows if it's gonna turn out exactly like her?!"
SMACK!
The sound of skin hitting skin rings through the choir room as Finn holds his cheek as a reddening mark in the shape of a hand but I couldn't stop myself from wantin to kick him where it would hurt the most. I was not about to allow his poor excuse of a boy to speak ill of my girlfriend and my unborn child as I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, forcing him to come face to face with me and I could smell the fear wafting off of him.
"Listen to me little boy because I'm only going to say this once so pay the fuck attention, if you say another ill word about my girlfriend or my baby, I swear to you right now that you will never be able to procreate with a girl but I doubt that you ever will with that early arrival problem of yours. I highly that the girl that you do manage to have intercourse will be able to feel anything or even orgasm with that that tiny stub that you call a penis. I'm sorry that you feel a certain about my pregnancy and you're entitled to your feelings but it doesn't mean that you have to take it on us" I said pushing him away.
Finn huffs out his chest, straighten out his shirt before making a dramatic storm out but honestly I couldn't care less because I have the support of the people that truly care about Santana and I. I feel a little better knowing that they haven't turned their backs on us as Mr. Schue for once is working on the setlist a few weeks ahead of time as Santana wraps her arms around my waist from behind.
"I think that I just fell for you a little bit more after telling off Finnessa" Santana said kissing my temple before whispering into my ear. "Wanna ditch Glee and go back to my place to fool around a little?"
"As tempting as that might be, we still need to prepare for Sectionals" I said unfolding Santana's arms.
"Babe" Santana whines.
"Later, I promise as long as you behave yourself and keep it in your pants" I said kissing her on the lips.
"Fine but as long as I can get up under your skirts that you like to tease me with" Santana mutters against my lips.
"You two cool it long enough to get some actual work done" Kurt said rolling his eyes.
"Can it, Kurty-Boy. They're hot together and I would offer a threesome if my Jewish Princess wasn't pregnant" Noah leers.
"If you want to be able to use your drumstick then I suggest that you keep as far away from my girlfriend as possible" Santana growls.
"Calm down my Latin Princess, I was only joking and you know that I wouldn't do that to you" Noah waves her off.
"Come on guys, we only have two months until Sectionals so we need to get the choreography down and choose who will be doing the solo" Mr. Schue said clapping his hands together.
"Mr. Schue can I make suggestion?" I asked raising my hand.
"Oh boy, here we go again" Mercedes said rolling her eyes.
"You want the solo, Rachel but I can't just give it you. There are plenty of talented singers in the club that deserve to have their chance to shine"
"And I couldn't agree more with you which is why I think that we should have Mercedes take the solo and have Quinn and Sam do the duet. It's about time that should have their chance in the spotlight"
"Wow, that's… different and a very good idea. Is everyone good with that?" Mr. Schue asked looking around the room.
"Are you sure that you're okay with giving up the spotlight?" Santana asked raising an eyebrow.
"To be honest and it'll be nice to give up some of the pressure to someone else every once in awhile plus it gives me more time focus on other things. Take me home" I said kissing her on the cheek.
I can't believe it. I just fucking believe it! Rachel's pregnant by that… by that fucking Santana Lopez and I lost control of my emotions. There's no way that the diva's gonna get back together now especially since she's carrying that demon spawn of a baby but that's okay. Once Rachel realizes that she's better off with me than Santana, she'll come crawling back to me but I just have to figure out a way to get rid of the slut and the baby.
Rachel and I are endgame and there's no way that I'm losing her to fucking Santana. She will be mine or no one will have her.
