Chapter 15

To say that Sebastian Smythe would ever admit that Blaine was right, well, that just wouldn't do. Nevertheless, Sebastian adjusted to life at McKinley rather well. It didn't take him very long to memorize his class schedule, the halls weren't as much of a maze like Dalton, and he even made some friends at school. Sort of.

And then, there was Dave. Of course, the two still weren't speaking. But every time they saw each other in the halls, they stared, almost to the point of stalking. When they passed each other, Dave would crane his neck behind and look at him and Sebastian would just produce the Smythe Smirk. Seb WANTED to think that Dave was looking at his ass, but who knows?

New Directions proved to be the biggest asset for him. Once in a while, he'd have some lower belly pain and he'd have to take it easy. Many knew why but they kept their promise to the pregnant boy. They wouldn't reveal it until he was ready. But there's something about that level of trust that speaks volumes to your own trust and security. Surprisingly, Kurt and Sebastian were very civil and they even considered doing a duet. Rachel was entertaining in her controlling behavior and watching her and Kurt debate song selections was a great distraction to a rather disturbing symptom that began as of late.

"Morning sickness?" Blaine whispered in Seb's ear, before rehearsal.

"I guess." Sebastian stroked his belly a little.

"You know, you're running out of time."

"What do you mean?"

"Welllllll…" the cute brunette began, "you can only wear baggy clothes for so long. How far along are you?"

"Nine weeks."

Blaine nodded. "And then there's Dave."

Sebastian cringed at the name but quickly recovered. "And just when I was craving pecan pie and spaghetti, you just had to say his name."

"Awwwwww…" Blaine mockingly said with a smile. "Listen. When you're ready, we need to tell the others. But you know that you can't-"

"I know, I know."

Across the way, Quinn was carefully watching them.

"Sebastian, do you need help with your classes or anything?" Blaine asked.

"No. Classes here are easy."

"Yeah, I know. We really benefited from Dalton, didn't we? McKinley is so far behind."

A long pause. They looked around the room and nearly every member of the glee club was present. The girls and Kurt were chatting and the guys just kind of looked lost. Quinn was staring holes at Sebastian and he merely watched back. Then, he politely smiled and looked away. It was beginning to look like they'd be on their own that day.

Suddenly Sebastian stood and took the floor.

"Everybody?" The club silenced and gave them his attention. "I want to…" he placed his index finger over his mouth for a moment and then looked up, "I NEED to perform something…" No one said anything. No one did anything. So, Sebastian took that as a sign and began a gorgeous a capella song…

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?

Well tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You

It's you and me

It's you and me won't be unhappy

And if I only could

I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get Him to swap our places

Be running up that road

Be running up that hill

Be running up that building

Say, if…

Sebastian was in tears. Blaine arrived first. Kurt second. And suddenly, it was a cocoon of glee clubbers around the kid. They soothed and tried to stop him from crying. But sometimes when you start those tears, they just don't go away.

Only Quinn remained in her seat.

Beyond the choir room door, a red letterman jacket disappeared.

About a minute later, eyes were being wiped and they returned to their seats. Sebastian plopped down and briefly squinted his eyes. He held his abdomen for just a brief second before quickly removing his hand. That's when Quinn partially smiled.

There were other performances. Rachel of course tried to steal the show and Santana and Brittany did a really cool Lady Gaga song. Kurt performed something from 'A Chorus Line' and even Blaine left Sebastian's side to do a silly number from the 1930s.

But Sebastian just sat there. His hands shook and his body ached. He hadn't been this…vulnerable in front of people before. Seb had no idea what possessed him to get up there and perform that stunning Kate Bush song but there it was.

Finally, the bell rang. People got up practically at the same time and headed towards the doors. Blaine stood by Sebastian's side, who was suddenly struggling to stand. Kurt flanked him and the trio made their way to the exit.

"Sebastian?"

He turned around and saw Quinn standing behind him. "Yeah?"

"Could I talk to you for a minute? In…private?"

He looked at her briefly and then turned to Blaine. "I'll be just a minute." Blaine nodded and smiled at Quinn. She smiled back and Blaine and Kurt took off.

Quinn turned and sat back down where Sebastian previously was. He took the seat near her and ignored the sudden craving for pumpkin pie filling. They were completely alone yet she kept her voice hushed.

"So, how far along are you?"

Sebastian was flabbergasted. "W-what?"

"I said, how far along are you?"

He just stared at her trying to read her eyes. But she had a calm, understanding, PATIENT expression on her face. "I…what?"

"Sebastian," she began, shifting her skirt over her knee, "I know the signs. I was pregnant too."

"Quinn! I… I'm…!" But she just kept staring at him with kindness. Then, he sighed and looked down. "Don't tell anyone."

"I won't. But Blaine knows too, doesn't he?"

"Yes. And Kurt."

"What are you going to do?"

"Huh?"

She shifted on her hip towards him. "I mean, what are you going to do with the little one?"

"I…I don't know."

"You're one in a million, Sebastian."

"Gee, thanks."

"Who's the father?"

Suddenly, Sebastian shot out of his seat! "That's none of your business!"

"OK, OK." She patiently said. "I'm sorry. I won't ask. Just please. Sit."

He glared at her momentarily and then flopped down. "S-sorry. I just…I don't know what to do."

"Well, I can tell you're uncomfortable. And maybe I can help."

"Oh yeah? How? You gonna tell me that 'life gets better' and all that gay shit?"

She chuckled. "Of course not. But…I remember how my body changed when I became pregnant. And it's actually a good thing that you're having morning sickness."

"Um, what?"

She smiled. "That means the baby is developing properly. And try herbal tea and saltines. They help with nausea. And don't forget lollipops. They help with nausea too. And they taste good."

"Lollipops?" Sebastian asked, clearly unprepared for this discussion.

"Yeah. It's weird, I know. But it works. Trust me."

He studied her for a second and then bravely asked, "What did you do with your child?"

Something flashed across her face and she looked away. "I…gave her up for adoption." Then, she returned to him. "But just because that's what I did doesn't mean you should. You have to make sure you know what you want."

"'What I want…'"

"Yeah. And you have strength in numbers."

"Hmmmm…"

No one else was around. The doors were closed and no snoopy people were peeking through the windows. Quinn and Sebastian might as well have been in their own little world and that's what they wanted. Sebastian fiddled with a loose hem on his jeans and Quinn merely watched him.

"He doesn't know, does he?"

"Who?"

"The…other father."

Seb turned away. "No."

"Well, just don't do what I did."

"And what's that?"

"I…I overreacted and tried to make someone else the father of my child."

"Woah."

"'Woah' is right. I…really screwed up and almost lost a friend."

"Well, don't worry Quinn. I won't do that." And then, he brightly smiled. "Besides, I'm wondering if he and I will…"

"Will what?"

Sebastian didn't finish. Instead, he stood up with some difficulty and gathered his books. "Never mind. Thanks Quinn. See ya' tomorrow." And with that, he left the room. Quinn watched him for a long moment and then realized she had to get her cheerleader uniform drycleaned.

.

That evening, Mickey was reading a book and Kurt and Blaine were giggling over something on their cell phones. It was a quiet, peaceful evening at the Anderson's house. Dinner was excellent and homework was done. For the three of them, they were content. Mickey's book 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' proved to be enthralling. And the other two were absorbed in their reading material.

However, Sebastian just sat there. His eyes were glossed over and he was struggling to get comfortable. There had been some serious cramping issues lately and nausea was just then becoming a problem again. Seb slowly stroked his hand over his belly and stared off into space.

"Are you guys," Kurt began, "sure that you don't want to go to the Lima Bean?"

"I'm sure." Seb whispered. Mickey didn't even look up from his book and Kurt and Blaine looked at the pregnant boy sympathetically.

"Seb?" Mickey suddenly said. "Did you know your nipples could get larger?"

Sebastian glared at him. Mickey finally looked up from his book and saw the boy's annoyed facial expression. He relented and returned to his book. Instead, Sebastian reached for a cherry lollipop and stuck it in his mouth.

Abruptly, there was a knock on the front door.

"Who in the world…?" Blaine asked, getting up. He crossed the room as the others watched. And when Blaine opened the door, he couldn't believe who was standing in front of him.

"Quinn!"

"Hi Blaine. Is Sebastian here?"

"Um, yeah. Yeah. Come on in."

In the living room, Sebastian smiled.

Blaine and Quinn entered the room and Kurt's eyes went wide. Mickey stared at her like many guys do. And Sebastian began twirling his lollipop. She smiled knowingly at him and he grinned through his candystick. She crossed the room and sat down on a nice upholstered chair.

"Hi! I'm Mickey." He stuck his hand out and she shook it.

"Quinn."

After that, everybody just settled down in their seats and a vague uncomfortable feeling crept into the room. No one really knew what to say. So, of course, Sebastian had to fix that.

"Why Quinn! What a nice surprise to see you here. And it is a surprise!"

"Oh Sebastian," Quinn said, a touch of annoyance in her voice. "At least it's nice to see you're eating a lollipop."

Seb laughed out loud! The other three were just watching each other trying to figure out what was going on. It seemed like quite suddenly, Quinn and Sebastian were in their own little world.

"So," she said, "are you going to an obste-…" But then, she stopped. She glanced at Mickey and then right back to Sebastian. But the pregnant boy merely stared at her. He wouldn't divulge any information and she didn't quite know what to do.

Meanwhile, Kurt and Blaine exchanged looks and then looked at Quinn.

"Quinn?" Blaine asked. "Would you like something to drink?"

"I'm fine." And then, she looked at Sebastian, who was trying and failing to hide some discomfort. "But he could use some chamomile tea."

Nearly every pair of eyes widened in the room. And suddenly, Sebastian burst out laughing again! He obnoxiously laughed until he had to place his hand on his abdomen again and doubled over.

"Serves you right." Quinn muttered to him. And then, she turned to Blaine. "Where's your kitchen?" When Blaine didn't answer, Sebastian did it for him.

"She knows, guys."

"Oh thank God!" Kurt exclaimed. "Finally, someone with pregnancy experience to help him."

"I'm not helpless, Kurt." Seb defensively said.

"I know. But we're not much help."

"Then again," Mickey suddenly said, "you're struggling, Seb. And I hate to see you this way. Quinn?" She looked up at him. "I can show you where the kitchen is."

"Alright. Thank you."

"Why," Blaine began, "do you need the kitchen?"

"I'm going to make Sebastian some herbal tea. It helped me."

When Blaine, or anyone else for that matter, didn't respond, Mickey smiled at her and placed a bookmark in his engrossing book. Then, he extended an arm and the two left for the kitchen. That left three open-mouthed teenage boys, sitting there trying to figure out this crazy world of male pregnancy.

But it didn't take long for Sebastian to lose himself in his slumber. He shifted painfully in his chair and asked for a pillow. Other times, he grimaced and moved again. Across the house, a small burst of laughter could be heard from the kitchen. And Kurt and Blaine were pretty much silent.

A few minutes later, Quinn and Mickey returned. She set a teacup down on the endtable near Sebastian and leaned down towards him.

"Sip. Don't gulp. It'll go down AND stay down better."

"OK." Sebastian shyly replied, hating to be waited on and vulnerable. She softly touched his shoulder and returned to her seat. As she walked Mickey watched her and Quinn gracefully sat down, pulling the back of her skirt as many girls do. Sebastian dutifully sipped the tea and made a grossed out face. Quinn laughed.

"I'm sorry, Sebastian. I know it doesn't taste very good, but it's very soothing."

"If you say so." Seb mumbled.

She glanced at Mickey who had been staring at her. Suddenly, he was befuddled and quickly looked at his book. He very quickly scanned it and found another passage.

"So, uhhh, uhhhh, Sebastian?" Mickey asked. "Do your breasts ache or feel tender?"

Every single person in the room just stared at Mickey. And the poor Dalton student just tried hiding himself behind his book. Then Sebastian rolled his eyes and indicated that he didn't.

"But you can look if you want to Mickey!" Seb said, trying to stand up. And then, he collapsed right back into the chair. A wave of despair swept over him suddenly and he partially covered his eyes. Everything had come crashing down on the poor pregnant boy lately and he was simply stuck. And just when Quinn was about to get up to comfort him, Kurt suddenly stood up!

I love to laugh

Loud and long and clear

I love to laugh

It's getting worse every year

Sebastian, Quinn, and Mickey stared at him like he was totally insane. But that's when Blaine got up and sang the next chorus.

The more I laugh, the more I fill with glee

And the more the glee

The more I'm a merrier me, it's embarrassing

The more I'm a merrier me

"Not at all attractive to my way of thinking…" Sebastian muttered to himself. "Dreadful…" He even rolled his eyes like Mary Poppins. Nearly every single person in that house laughed! Only Sebastian remained neutral (or, tried to) as he stared at his friends in wonder. Mickey even got up to do the next few choruses and they performed the trio in an awkward falsetto that had Quinn rolling in hysterics! The silly song went on and on and Blaine even mimicked Dick Van Dyke to perfection by doing those strange, hissing, goofy laughs. Kurt chimed in and added his falsetto laugh as Quinn was struggling to remain upright. And Mickey just had fun with everything! He even caught Kurt who was so infected with laughter and then set him upright again!

When things strike me as funny

I can't hide it inside

And squeak as the squeakelers do

I've got to let go with a ho ho ho

And a ha ha ha too

We love to laugh

Loud and long and clear

We love to laugh

So everybody can hear

The little flash mob worked. All three were dancing, singing, and laughing to the point that they could barely get their lyrics out without exploding in laughter!

Blaine continued with Van Dyke's part and even jumped on furniture to mimic flying through the air. Mickey joined him on the couch and Sebastian's mouth widened even further. And Quinn covered her lips but her shoulders shook with uncontrolled chuckles.

But then, the trio went silent when SEBASTIAN suddenly took the next stanza!

The more you laugh

The more you fill with glee

And the more the glee

The more we're a merrier we

Sebastian remained stony-faced and barely cracked a smile while he sang. In fact, he didn't even get up. But he joined in and the others were completely astounded. There was so much laughter that, as the song suggests, it can be contagious. And just when the silly song ended, the edges of Sebastian's mouth curled up ever so slightly.

The other four were laughing at how silly and unexpected that performance was! And just then, their laughter died when they saw Sebastian standing up. He struggled a little but was finally successful. He grabbed his teacup and stared at all of them.

"You. Are. All. Insane." He said. Then, he turned and left, shaking his head the whole way. So, of course the others had to explode with laughter at that. Seb gave them the finger and as he left the room, he sardonically sang, 'The more I laugh, the more I fill with glee'. He hid his smile and went to bed.
