Kurt and Blaine stayed for another hour as they unpacked Rachel's things and made sure everything was okay. They soon departed, and Sam and Rachel were left alone.

Rachel was sat on the couch watching TV while Sam brought her a cup of tea and sat next to her.

"Thanks." Rachel said kindly.

"No problem. So, when are you due?" Sam asked.

"The middle of May." Rachel said.

"Oh cool, so that's like...nine months?" Sam said. Rachel started laughing. Sam realised what he'd done and started laughing too.

"I like you, Sam. You're...entertaining." Rachel said. Sam smiled.

"Well, I am good at impressions. I heard you were on Broadway?" Sam asked and Rachel nodded.

"Yeah, 'Funny Girl'. I was the lead for just shy of four months. It was amazing; my dream come true. I wanted to be on Broadway since I was tiny." Rachel explained.

"That's awesome, living your dream and all. Not many people get to do that. Although I always wanted to be a male model, and I am." Sam smiled.

"That's great! Does it pay well?"

"When I get work, yeah. It was a struggle at first but I'm financially secure now. That was the most grown up sentence I've ever said." Sam said, making Rachel laugh again.

"Hey, nothing wrong with getting older but not growing up. So, what should I cook tonight?" Rachel asked. Sam looked shocked.

"Oh no, you don't need to cook. We'll order pizza tonight." Sam said.

"Okay, but tomorrow I insist on cooking, as a thank you." Rachel smiled. Sam smiled back.

"Fine. And the day after I'll show you up with my immense cookery skills." Sam said.

"Oh, you are so on, Samuel." Rachel said. Sam sighed.

"...Blaine told you I don't like being called Samuel didn't he?"

"Yep." Rachel said, getting up with a smile as she went to the toilet. Sam watched her go with a smile.

I like this girl.

…

As Rachel and Sam tucked into a pizza, they kept on talking. Both of them were surprised at how naturally the conversations between them seemed to flow.

"So, are you nervous about having a baby?" Sam asked.

"Not yet, but I will be. It'll be worth it, though." Rachel replied. Sam nodded.

"I'm not sure I could do it. If my friends Santana and Brittany asked me to be their baby daddy I'd have serious doubts." Sam said. Rachel's face lit up.

"You know Santana and Brittany too? Oh right, you went to McKinley too, after I left." Rachel said.

"Yep. It's weird how we could've met like ten years ago if you hadn't moved or I came to McKinley a year earlier." Sam said.

"I know; funny how life works." Rachel said. The two both reached for the last slice of pizza and their hands touched.

"Oh, sorry." Rachel said.

"I'm sorry." Sam added. The two stared at each other for a moment.

"You can have it." Rachel smiled. Sam picked up the slice of pizza and carefully ripped it into two smaller pieces, handing one to Rachel.

"If we can share an apartment, we can share a slice of pizza. Might as well get used to working together now." Sam said. Rachel smiled as she took a bite of the pizza. Suddenly, she grew serious.

"Okay, this is gonna be an awkward conversation, but I need to get it out of the way. There's a few things I might need you to do for me throughout the next few months, what with the pregnancy and hormones and all..." Rachel began.

"Uh, okay." Sam said, concerned.

"I know there will be ups and downs, and I'm gonna say it now. You don't have to help in any way with morning sickness. I'll look after myself 'cause it won't be pretty." Rachel said.

"I appreciate that."

"That's not all though. I'm gonna want to drink alcohol, so you need to hide any you may have and keep it solely for yourself." Rachel said.

"Agreed."

"And most importantly, and most awkwardly...hormones will be running high in a few months, and I will probably find myself...attracted to a lot."

"I don't understand."

"Sam, you're a good looking guy."

"Thank you."

"And a model."

"Yep."

"What I'm saying is, in a few months I'm probably gonna try and have sex with you." Rachel said. Sam stared at her in silence.

"...Okay..."

"I'm asking you now so you know. When that happens, not if, WHEN...you have to stop me. You can't let me seduce you. I'm not saying that you would anyway..."

"Of course I wouldn't."

I would.

"But when I make a move, you just push me away. Do not give in. And I promise you, it'll be hard."

"I imagine it will be pretty hard, yes."

"No, you underestimate me, Sam. I won't give in without a serious fight. I'm that kind of girl." Rachel said.

I thought she was supposed to be putting me off.

"So, I have to ask you to never go near me while shirtless."

"I do have a tendency to not wear clothes."

"You'll just have to remember, I'll be a fat mess covered in sick, sweat and tears. You'll rather do it with The Hulk than with me, so don't panic too much." Rachel said.

She made a comic book reference. What is she doing to me?

"I'm, uh...I'm sure I'll be fine." Sam said, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"Good, thank you. Just thought I'd get that out of the way in advance." Rachel said.

"It, uh...makes sense." Sam said, getting up.

"Where're you going?" Rachel asked.

"I need a shower."

…

"So, DVDs are stacked alphabetically, and feel free to watch any of them at any time. Most of them are pure nerdiness, but you might like them." Sam explained.

"Hello, Thor! Hello, Captain America! These guys are HOT!"

"...Yeah, they kinda are."

…

Rachel was lying in bed reading when Sam knocked on the door and walked in.

"Hey, just came to say goodnight." Sam said.

"Oh, goodnight." Rachel smiled. Sam smiled back.

"...Can I ask you something?" Rachel asked. Sam nodded.

"Why would you stay in the bedroom without a door handle? You could've stayed in this one." Rachel asked.

"Yeah, this was my room. But I figured you'd want the one with the handle so I put in my stuff in the other room and moved in there. Plus, this one has a window so I thought you'd appreciate it more." Sam explained.

"Sam, that's so sweet. You didn't need to do that."

"I know, I wanted to." Sam said. The two stared at each other.

"Thank you for tonight. It was really nice." Rachel said gently.

"It was." Sam grinned.

"Are you at work tomorrow?" Rachel asked. Sam shook his head.

"Great, maybe we can go shopping or something?" Rachel suggested.

"Sure, sounds like fun." Sam smiled.

"Great. I'm looking forward to living here." Rachel said.

"I'm looking forward to it too."

"Goodnight, Samuel."

"Shut up, Rachel."

Rachel giggled as Sam closed the door with a smile. Rachel smiled as she got comfortable in bed and turned off the light. All her initial worries were gone.

I'm gonna like it here.

Sam got undressed and crawled into bed, turning off the light with I smile.

I'm gonna like having her here.
