Author's Note: Hello there. So, this is the last part of chapter eight. I'm excited about it. Some mpregs explain how men can get pregnant. This is not one of those stories. If enough people complain I might put something in there. Hopefully this wasn't too delayed. Like always, I would like to give a smooch to Lilgirlost, oliverthewoodnymph on tumblr, and a big thank you dani_elizabethx on LJ for being a wonderful beta. Enjoy!
Once Blaine helped Santana get settled he walked into his room to find Puck sitting at the edge of their bed. Blaine went to sit next to him.
"Is she okay?" Puck asked, keeping his eyes on his feet.
"Yeah," Blaine sighed. "She will be. She just needs to…stop fighting herself."
"What?"
"Nothing." Blaine shook his head. He rubbed his palms on his jean clad thighs. "So…what's the plan then?"
"Well, I guess we need to, like, get a crib or something." Puck answered, still not looking at Blaine.
"No. I mean…us. Have you ever…done anything…with a guy before?" Blaine asked, staring at his hands on his legs.
"Yeah," Puck confirmed. "Once, in a threesome there was some…interference from the other guy. There was Finn. He though making out with a guy would help him get more comfortable with living with Kurt. I guess that worked a little too well," He joked. "And…and there was Sam. We…messed around a couple times, but then he got with Quinn so we had to stop. Agreed we'd never talk about it again." And suddenly Sam's bashfulness that morning made a whole lot of sense.
"So, you're not going to freak out in a week and leave?" Blaine asked, finally looking at Puck. Puck just shook his head. "Do you have any plans yet? For after high school."
"Not really," Puck admitted. "I was thinking about maybe going to community college, getting the general ed out of the way. I like working at the garage, and getting more hours would mean more pay, so staying there wouldn't be a problem. I like….I like living here, and once that baby comes I'm sure you're going to need some help-"
"Noah, don't think you need to stay here just because I'm…I'm like this."
"But maybe I want to." Puck said as he turned to look at Blaine, his voice a bit louder. "I know we don't have a lot of space here, and that we eat mac and cheese majority of the time, but I like it here. I like coming home and having you here. I like when we hang out and play music together. I like…I like it when I wake up and you're next to me."
"That doesn't mean you need to stop your life and stay here." Blaine whispered, leaning closer to Puck.
"Don't worry about me," Puck whispered as he leaned forward, his forehead resting on Blaine's. "You know if I don't want to do something, I won't. We'll take it slow, and we'll focus on the baby, okay?" Puck suggested. Blaine nodded against Puck's forehead. "I'm going to go take a shower, and we're going to get some sleep, and then tomorrow morning I'm going to make breakfast for everyone. Alright?"
"Alright." Blaine agreed with a smile. Puck gave him a quick peck before heading off to the bathroom.
Finn stumbled out of bed at nine the next morning. Some changes had been made at the Hummel-Hudson household since Burt and Carole found out about Kurt and Finn's relationship. One change had been bells. Burt had put bells on both of the boy's doors to ensure they stayed in their own rooms after dark. An open door policy had also been implemented. One of the nicer changes was that on the weekends Kurt would make Finn breakfast, so when Finn found his way downstairs he immediately smelled bacon. He walked into the kitchen to find Kurt at the stove, fully dressed for the day, bacon in one pan and pancakes in the other. Finn leaned against the counter next to the stove before greeting his boyfriend.
"Good morning," Finn yawned with a sleepy smile.
"Morning," Kurt said, not bothering to look up from the stove. Finn reached out his hand to rub Kurt's back. Kurt turned and gave Finn a small kiss before returning to his cooking. "Where were you last night? I fell asleep before I heard the bells on your door." Kurt questioned as Finn took a seat at the island.
"Sam called as I was leaving the garage. I guess he had a fight with Santana or something." Finn admitted as Kurt put two plates full of food on the counter and took the seat next to him.
"I guess their three way isn't working out as well as they hoped. Can't say I'm surprised." Kurt said with a dry tone before starting his meal. Finn just nodded. "How was work?"
"Fine. Puck freaked out though." Finn stopped eating for a second and turned to Kurt. "It was weird though, he said something about Blaine being pregnant," Finn admitted and then laughed. Kurt froze mid-bite. "Isn't that crazy? Guys can't get pregnant." Finn smiled to himself before going back to shoveling food in his face.
"Finn, guys can get pregnant," Kurt told him with wide eyes.
"What?"
"Not every guy," Kurt explained, "but some guys can get pregnant." Finn took a second to stop eating and look at Kurt again.
"Can you get pregnant?" Finn asked.
"I don't know. So, Puck said that Blaine is pregnant?"
"Yeah, and then Burt made him go to into his office so they could talk." Finn said casually as he kept eating. Kurt hadn't taken a bite since Finn had first said Blaine's name.
"Take me to their apartment." Kurt said as he got off of his stool. He took both of their plates and put them in the sink.
"What?" Finn asked with a mouth full of food.
"I know you've been over there. You have to me to their apartment," Kurt demanded. "Now!"
Puck woke up before everyone else that morning and made everyone breakfast. The five of them ate while scattered around the living room. Afterwards Quinn went to take Artie back to his house before she went to work. Once the couple had left Blaine decided it was time to help Santana.
"And this is going to help how?" Santana asked, standing at the edge of the futon, phone in hand. Blaine was sitting at his keyboard and Puck was sitting on the futon with his guitar.
"It will, I promise." Blaine smiled up at her. She just rolled her eyes. "Now, just close your eyes and take a deep breath." Santana took a deep breath and looked at the lyrics on her phone before starting.
I tremble, They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble, They're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer, Beating like a hammer,
Beating like a hammer,
She closed her eyes and suddenly she was on the stage in the auditorium. Behind her Blaine was at a big piano and Puck was sitting on a stool with his guitar, and the whole school was in the crowd, watching her. She looked over to the side of the stage and found Brittany hiding behind some curtains, watching her with a proud smile on her face.
Help I'm alive my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, Beating like a hammer,
Beating like a hammer,
In the middle of the seventh row were her mother, father, and her Abuela. When she finally drew the courage to look at their faces were unreadable. She suddenly became scared again, but she kept going.
If we're still alive, My regrets are few
If my life is mine, What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going, I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing, And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer, Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, Beating like a hammer,
Help I'm alive my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, Beating like a hammer,
Beating like a hammer,
If we're still alive, My regrets are few
If my life is mine, What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going, I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing, And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer, Beating like a hammer,
Beating like a hammer, Beating like a hammer,
She looked over to Brittany one last time. Her smile had grown and a few tears were rolling down her cheek. Santana smiled back at her before looking back at the crowd, except now there wasn't a crowd, there was only her family left.
I tremble, they're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble, they're gonna eat me alive
Help I'm alive my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Santana took a deep breath before opening her eyes. Suddenly she was back in reality, and it hit her hard. She started breathing hard. Blaine quickly got up from his piano and wrapped her up in a tight hug. She grabbed onto him and tried to blink away tears.
"It's okay. You're safe," Blaine whispered to her. She pulled herself together enough to break the hug.
"Thank you," she said in a hushed tone. She sniffled a little and wiped under her eyes. "That did help, but…I think I need to go home." Blaine just nodded before hugging her one last time before watching her go. Puck stood up and moved to rest his jaw on Blaine's shoulder.
"Blaine, what just happened?" Puck whispered. Blaine fell back against Puck's chest.
"We just helped a friend." Blaine whispered back. Blaine was just about to turn around to face Puck when suddenly someone started pounding on the door. "Santana, just use your key," Blaine yelled through the door before walking over to open it. Except when he opened it, it wasn't Santana. Instead, Kurt was standing there with a very scared looking Finn. "K-Kurt?"
"Are you pregnant?" Kurt asked calmly. Blaine's face suddenly heated up.
"W-what?"
"I asked you if you were pregnant." Kurt said as he took a step into the apartment. Blaine took a couple steps back. "I heard that you were. Is it true?"
"Where did you hear that from?" Blaine asked, trying to stall the truth.
"Your roommate has a big mouth." Kurt quipped. Blaine closed his eyes in frustration and sighed. "So, is it true?" Blaine nodded before opening his eyes.
"Yes, I'm…yeah." Blaine confessed. Puck took a few steps forward to stand directly behind Blaine.
"And…it's…it's…" Kurt couldn't even finish the thought, but he didn't need to because Blaine was quick to confirm his suspicions.
"Yes. It's…you…yes." Blaine nodded.
"And you didn't tell me?" Kurt yelled. Blaine flinched and Puck was quick to comfort him but putting his hand on Blaine's hip. "And what's this?" Kurt continued to yell as he pointed to Puck's hand. "Are you two a thing now?" He looked to Puck. "And how long have you been fucking him?" Kurt accused. Blaine's throat got tight as he started to feel his eyes start to water. Puck was fighting with himself not to hit Kurt. "How do I even know it's mine, then? Who else have you been sleeping with?" Puck had not enough.
"That's enough." Puck finally spoke up, stepping in front of Blaine. "I think you need to leave."
"Like I'd want to stay a minute longer in this shit hole you call a home." Kurt said with a sneer before turning on his heal and exiting down the hallway. Finn was left standing in the doorway looking dumbstruck and apologetic.
"I'm so sorry," Finn started. "I didn't know he would act like this and he made me bring him over here." Finn explained. Blaine sniffled while Puck just glared at him. "Do you guys have any poptarts?"
Puck quickly slammed the door in Finn's face before turning to look at Blaine. Blaine was shaking slightly as a few tears strayed down his cheek. Puck's heart dropped at the sight of him. Puck quickly took a few steps to Blaine wrapped him up in a hug. Puck was never really good at comforting people, but he found his little sister always liked it when he would pick her up and hold her close. He rubbed Blaine's back for a minute before Blaine started to pull away a little.
"He hates me," Blaine whispered. "I finally told him…and he hates me."
"No he doesn't," Puck whispered back as he moved his hand to cup Blaine's cheek. "It just takes some time to get used to the idea. You know that. Just give him a couple days," Puck suggested before wiping away a stray tear with his thumb. "Okay?" Blaine nodded with a sniffle. Suddenly Puck's phone went off. They looked at each other for the first few rings.
"Answer it." Blaine whispered. Blaine went to the bathroom to splash some water on his face. When he came back into the living room Puck was sitting at the keyboard.
"Looks like I have the day off," Puck said with a smile. "Think you got enough time to teach me something on this thing before you have to go to work?"
Author's Note: So, that happened. The next chapter is sectionals and Thanksgiving. So...be excited for that I guess.
