"Rachel what are you doing here and how did you find me" I said surprised and sat down in the seat across from her.
"Noah told me you play here on Saturdays and I really wanted to see you" She shrugged.
"So… how are you" I asked trying to break the silence.
"Good, I got a job on Broadway, nothing big but its still Broadway" She grinned.
"That's awesome Rach, I always knew you could do it"
Her face suddenly got serious "So Sam you know…"
I cut her off "Are you still with Finn?"
When I said that her face went from serious to angry to scared "Um no that's one of the things I want to talk to you about." She shifted in her seat then looked down at her lap "Well after during senior year my parents kicked me out of the house so I moved in with Finn, after a couple weeks things started to get bad we argued all the time and he was barely ever home and this one time he even slapped me after that I was done I called Noah and told him what was happening and so I moved in with him."
I was so confused but also pissed how dare Finn lay a hand on Rachel or any women for that matter "What caused him to hit you and why did your parents kick you out?"
She took a deep breath "Ever since told them I was pregnant and that Finn was not the father you are."
My eyes widened I tried to digest what she had just told me if she was saying that I was the father that would mean the kid was at least two. I pointed to myself "Me." I said lamely. "I'm so sorry Sam I shouldn't have come here and just dumped this on you like this" She ran her fingers threw her hair "Say something" She urged.
"I h-have a c-child" I whispered. She grabbed one of my hands "Sam please don't be mad." "Is that what you were trying to tell me that one day at my locker?" I asked.
She smiled sadly "Yeah, I had found out had just found out a couple days before and I knew it was yours you were the only person I had ever had sex with." She looked down nervously "Finn found out because he caught me in the bathroom with the test in my hands, he was so angry because he knew he was not the father because we had never done anything like that together and he started yelling at me and called me a slut and asking who the father was and I told him it was you then that's when he hit me. That's one of the reasons I started to avoid you and why I never told you about the baby.
"So that's when you guys broke up" I asked.
"Yes he apologize but I was not going to be treated like trash so that's when I called Noah for help, he already knew he was the first one to know and then after summer was over I heard the you moved away which really sucked" She laughed a little "Noah helped me threw everything though and when he found out that Finn hit my he punched him in the face" She whispered the last part as it was something really horrible. I knew she wasn't blaming anything on me but I knew it was all my fault if I hadn't kissed her that one night none of this would have happened and he wouldn't have a kid, we not that he was complaining. "Tell me about the kid" I said before I could stop myself.
"Oh" She looked surprised then she looked happy "Well his name is Duncan he is three years old he can walk which is bad because he gets into everything and he can speak in full sentences and he looks just like you everything thing is yours except his eyes he has my eyes…"
"Can I meet him" I interrupted .
"That's really the reason I came her to talk to you, Noah convinced me too come talk to you about Duncan and about you meeting him."
"Puck convinced you to do this?" I asked it does not seem like something he would do. "Yeah well he knows how it feels to lose a child" She said "But I also think that you have the right to be in his life if you want to be." I knew for sure I wanted to meet my son but what would I say to I am sorry I haven't been in your life so far because your mother didn't tell me about you till now. "So you're still living with Puckerman?" I questioned. "No, but we live in the same apartment building, so when I go to work Noah can babysit." She looked me in the eyes "Sam, I am so sorry I never told you any of this but whenever I tried to I chickened out and you were always hanging out with Mercedes so I figured you too we together and I didn't want to ruin that." She frowned "Me and Mercedes were only friends and Rachel I didn't want us to be just a one night thing I really liked you and when you kissed Finn I thought you wanted it to be a one time thing." "I guess we both screwed up huh?" She let out a small laugh. "So you want to go now?" I shot up "Okay let's go" I grabbed my guitar and her hand and walked out of the bar. "Did you bring you're car here" She asked while unlocking her car "Nope, I took the bus" Cash had been tight lately and gas was expensive. She nodded and me and told me to get in her car. The ride to her apartment was silent and it turned out the she only lived about a half hour away from the bar she parked, got out and motioned for me to follow her into the building.
