Beth Chapter 2, a glee fanfic

I was in shock. I couldn't believe it. I was pregnant. It didn't make any sense. There was no way that it could be possible. I was silent and I was pretty that the doctor was a little worried about me.

"Miss Corcoran?" She asked. I said the first thing that came to my mind.

"Are you sure?" I responded. Mam, that sounded so dumb. Okay, maybe it wasn't as stupid of a question. I mean there was a chance that it could be wrong. There was always a chance that things could be wrong. Yeah, that was it. It was wrong.

"Yes." She said with a nod. "Our recent tests have eliminated the possibility of a false positive. I know this might be a difficult time for you. This is probably something that you should discuss with your family and the father if you know who he is."

That was when it hit me. I had to be the first girl to have ever been knocked up by another girl. I still had to stick up for Dani, even though I didn't know what to tell her…or my mom. I definitely did not know what to tell my mom.

"Her." I corrected.

"What?" The doctor replied.

"Her." I repeated. "You said that I needed to tell him, but that's not right. It's complicated."

I supposed that I should probably go home. I would probably have to discuss things with my mom soon and I also didn't know what to tell Dani. I mean we had just broken up and now things were going to get even more weird. The fact that we were going to have a baby would make things uncomfortable, especially since she was transitioning, but still the first person that I would have to tell was my mom, because she always seemed to know when I was lying.

I took a cab ride home. I knew that I would be there for a while. It was going to be awkward missing the first day of school. Of course, it would probably not be anywhere near as awkward as being pregnant. I really didn't know much about pregnancy. I knew that it caused weight gain and at the end, a baby was born, but I didn't really know much else. I hadn't had health or sex ed, one reason was that the latter was typically for juniors and seniors.

As I thought to myself, I couldn't help but do what I always did when I was feeling emotional.

Some days, things just take way too much of my energy
I look up and the whole room's spinning
You take my cares away
I can so over-complicate, people tell me to medicate

Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'
How do I know if all this stuff's fabricated?
Time goes by and I can't control my mind
Don't know what else to try, but you tell me every time

Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, keep on breathin'
Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, keep on breathin'

Sometimes it's hard to find, find my way up into the clouds
Tune it out, they can be so loud
You remind me of a time when things weren't so complicated
All I need is to see your face

Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'
How do I know if all this stuff's fabricated?
Time goes by and I can't control my mind
Don't know what else to try, but you tell me every time

After school, my mom came home. It was earlier than I expected. I had still thrown up several times. It turned out that morning sickness didn't only happen in the morning. That was another thing that I didn't know about pregnancy. My doctor had told me to drink plenty of water.

"How's your stomach?" She asked. Going to get larger in the next few months.

"I don't have food poisoning." I answered.

"That's good to hear." She responded. I decided that it would be best just to tell her because I couldn't think of anything else to say.

"I'm pregnant." I stated.

"What?" She asked. She seemed to be in shock.

"I'm pregnant." I repeated.

"What the fuck, Beth?" She questioned. At that point, I kind of wanted to cry. She was mad at me. That was when the tears came out. She then came over and hugged me. "Sorry, I'm just a little surprised by this. That's all. So, is it Dani's?"

I nodded as I cried into her shoulder.

"You need to tell her." She replied.

"But I just broke up with her yesterday. I don't even know if she wants to talk to me." I pointed out.

"I understand that it might be hard, but you two are both affected by this. You need to figure out what you're going to do about it." She told me.

"But she's going through her own drama right now and I don't want to suck her into mine." I argued.

"You can't make excuses about this." Mom stated. "I can't believe that this is happening. History is kind of repeating itself I guess."

"You know you never talk about my biological mother." I declared.

"I don't want to do this right now," She stated. "She wasn't at your father's funeral because I didn't feel it was the place for you to meet for the first time."

"Mom, if you're worried about her replacing you, that will never happen." I assured her. "You're my mom, but I would still like to get know more about the woman who gave birth to me."

"We're going to take this one step at a time. Before you do anything else, you need to tell Dani." She declared.

"Do I have to do that right now?" I questioned. I wasn't even sure if Dani would be home at the moment and I probably couldn't drive with the current state of my stomach.

"No, it doesn't have to be right now." She said. "By the way, I got you some ginger tea for your stomach. It actually does help with morning sickness as well.

That night, I was running through all of the different things that could happen when I told Dani. I didn't know if she would be angry with me or not. I knew that it would definitely be a bit of a strange conversation. I partially didn't want to remind of her of something that we did when I thought that she was a boy, but it had to be done. I didn't think that it would be too detrimental to her. She was already seeing a therapist. Maybe it would be possible for us to go to therapy together. I wasn't afraid to talk to someone and it might be good for us because I did want to help her through her transition in whatever way I could.

The following day, I was back in school. I somewhat wanted for both of us to skip school because it would be easier to tell her that way but I had already missed one day of school and I wasn't even sure if she would go for it.

I decided that it would be best for us to talk when no one else would be around, so I had her dad call her to the nurse's office to see me. Things were about to get really weird and I hoped that she was prepared for it. She was confused when she didn't see the nurse.

"Beth, what are you doing here?" She asked in confusion. "What's going on?"

"I asked your dad to call you here so we could talk." I stated.

"Have you thought more about what we talked about before?" She questioned hopefully.

"This really isn't about that." I replied. "Though, things are going to change between us and we probably won't be spending as much time apart from each other as I thought we would."

"What do you mean?" She replied in confusion. I supposed that I couldn't dance around it for any longer.

"I'm pregnant." I told her.

"But we used a condom." She argued.

"They actually don't work all of the time." I explained. "The last thing that I want to do is remind you about this or burden you when you're going through a difficult time."

"This is not something that I'm going to let you do alone." She told me. "But what does it mean for us? Did you want to get back together?"

"I still don't know if I can be in a relationship with you as a girl." I pointed out. "Maybe we should just worry about the baby."

"I guess that is what we're going to do." She replied with a frown. "You know I never thought that things would be like this. You told me that you loved me after all. I guess we'll just do what you want likes always.

I feel you crumble in my arms down to your heart of stone
You bled me dry just like the tears you never show
Why don't you take what you want from me, take what you need from me
Take what you want and go
Why don't you take what you want from me, take what you need from me
Take what you want and go

I never needed anything from you
And all I ever asked was for the truth
You showed your tongue and it was forked in two
Your venom was lethal, I almost believed you
Yeah, you preyed on my every mistake
Waited on me to break
Held me under hoping I would drown
Like a plague, I was wasting away trying to find my way out
Find my way out

And if finally came the day I start giving my heart away
For heaven's sakes, my bones will break but you'll never own my soul, no

Take what you want, take what you need, take what you want and go
Take what you want, take what you need, take what you want and go

"Now we should probably go to class." She replied. I wasn't even sure if saying sorry at the exact moment would do any good. She was mad at me for probably the first time ever and I didn't know how to react to it. Maybe seeing that therapist would be a good idea.

All I knew was that things wouldn't be easy for Dani and I. Our relationship was on the rocks, but I still didn't think it was over. As much as I wanted to say that I didn't still have feelings for her, I knew that wasn't the case. It was just the challenge of overcoming my demons enough to be brave enough to be with her.

I then walked out of the nurse's office and began to head to class.

So I know it's been a while since I updated anything. I think there's a lot to be explored between Beth and Dani's relationship. It's not going to be easy for the two of them. The songs are "Breathin" by Ariana Grande and "Take What You Want" by Post Malone featuring Ozzy Osbourne. Please don't forget to review.
