[One Month Later]

Rachel Berry

Santana left the hospital a week after the event of a month ago, Stephanny's parents decided to take their daughter's body back to the hometown and we heard nothing about Christopher or his relatives, we only learned that he passed away at the exact moment he was shot by the policemen. This day we will participate in the sectionals, of course my best friend can't make much effort yet, but Mr. Schue and Mike have managed to create a choreography that doesn't require much effort from people who are still recovering or pregnant women with an extreme hormonal level.

My body has been feeling a little strange for the past few days, I have been feeling some bearable pains, but I don't intend to tell my parents about this, much less my extremely protective and jealous girlfriend, since they will want to take me to the hospital and we would lose the sectionals. I can't lose this competition for anything in the world, because my friends need my powerful voice so that we can win this competition and be on our way to the nationals and bring our first place trophy.

I was about to go into the bathroom when my daughter kicked and a sharp pain hit me like an electric discharge, this pain made me sit up in bed, hug my belly and groan a little with that horrendous pain. The things that are happening may seem a little strange, but I am almost 100% sure that it must be normal, because I am halfway through my seventh month of pregnancy and my body must be giving me some false contractions in order to prepare me for the difficult and painful labor that I will have in one and a half months.

-All right, little star? -Dad appeared at my door and frowned when he saw me stretched out on the bed to try to relieve that discomfort. -Do you feel any pain?

-I'm just resting my back a little. -It was necessary to tell that unreasonable lie.

-Hum, right. -Dad seemed to believe it. -Quinn's here to pick you up for the competition, Rach.

-Please ask her to come up, Dad. -I asked as I stood up. -I'm going to take a shower.

I didn't hear his answer, as I hurried into the bathroom and undressed until I reached the shower, as I was desperate for a warm and relaxing bath, my body is stiff and I am very anxious for the sectionals, I need to relax a little, as this must be what is motivating these strong pains. My daughter feels my emotions, when I get agitated or anxious, she gets more agitated and starts kicking harder, this is probably causing my pains and for this reason I am determined to calm myself down so that my daughter will be relaxed and these unbearable pains will be gone for good.

My body became more relaxed when the shower was over, the pains were gone and my body was wrapped in a warm towel, I was going to change in my room, because the bathroom was all wet and slippery and as soon as I stepped into my room I bumped into my girlfriend, she looked so sexy in that golden dress, for a few moments I wondered how she had gotten into my house, but then I remembered that my father had come to warn me about her arrival a few minutes ago and that I had asked her to come up to my room to wait for me because I still needed to get ready.

-Hello trespasser. -I joked as I discarded my towel and walked to the closet.

-Hi... -Quinn just mumbled, I found her behavior strange and decided to stare at her.

My girlfriend was staring at my bare ass, she was biting her lower lip and seemed mesmerized by my bare body. My cheeks flushed as I noticed her eyes darkened in desire as she admired my body and I giggled as I realized that she looked like a lion about to attack its prey.

-There's nothing here that you haven't seen. -I commented and put on my panties.

-I will never tire of admiring your body. -Quinn Fabray murmured weakly.

I burst into hoarse laughter before zipping up my bra and putting on my dress and then bursting into laughter at my girlfriend's snarl of dissatisfaction at the sight of my naked body. I approached her slowly to sit on her lap, felt her erection against my legs, she must have been uncomfortable in those understanding shots and before kissing her lovingly I gave her a devilish smile and then took her lips in a hot kiss, desirous and full of passion.

-We can't start what we won't have time for... -I stopped talking when I felt another twinge, this time a little stronger than the others, I tried to disguise it, but she noticed.

-Are you in pain? -Quinn sounded worried. -Is she okay? -Touched my belly.

-We're fine. -I commented and kissed her forehead before getting up to put on my makeup.

Quinn was suspicious, but chose to believe me, and two hours later we were entering the McKinley auditorium to join our friends in a small room set up to accommodate the teams. My feet hurt like hell, I need to sit somewhere or I won't be able to dance in the presentation.

-Santana... -I called my best friend, as there was nowhere to sit.

-Talk, Berry! -Santana turned around with her arms crossed. -What is it? Do you need something?

-I need a place to sit down. -I answered, looking around the room, and she followed.

-SPACE FOR THE LITTLE BUNDLE OF FURY WHO NEEDS TO SIT DOWN! -She shouted. -PREGNANT WOMAN IN THE PERSONAL AREA, PREGNANT WOMAN IN THE AREA, GET OUT!

Soon many seats were given up and a chorus of "you can sit here, Rachel" was heard. I sat down in some chair, asked Quinn for a glass of water, thanked the staff for being so understanding, and thanked my friend for making a space.

I was sitting quietly, talking to Tina and waiting for my water when a piece of paper fell on my lap, someone came up from behind my chair and threw me the little note. As soon as I opened it I was faced with the following message:

"Meet me by the water fountain, we need to talk, Rachel Berry!"

I took a few deep breaths and decided it was the right moment to end the "chase" once and for all and show that starched boy that I am very happy with my girlfriend.

-What is this? -Quinn asked as he held out the glass of water.

-Thank you! -I thanked him for the water. -Jesse wants to meet me by the water fountain, I'll meet him and show him that I don't need him, because I have an amazing girlfriend by my side, but I want you to come with me and stay at a safe distance, just in case he tries some funny stuff, okay? -I asked, and even though I felt like agreeing, Quinn agreed to accompany me and we left the room that was reserved for our group, since we still had plenty of time before our presentation.

-If he tries any funny stuff, I swear I'll smash his face in, Rach! -she commented.

-My hero! -I joked and kissed her before walking alone to the drinking fountain.

Jesse was waiting for me at the appointed place, he smiled silly when he saw me, but the smile died on his lips when he noticed the size of my belly. His face closed in a frightening way and I hugged my belly in an involuntary act of protection.

-Are you pregnant? -Jesse asked with eyes darkened in genuine fury.
