The next mourning, Tina slowly got out of her new bed mostly from exhaustion, but a little about facing her friends now that they knew her secret. But she shook the feeling, got dressed, and headed down the stairs towards the kithchen. All four members of the Abrams family were already sitting around the table eating their breakfast of eggs and bacon. They all warmly greeted her and motioned to an empty spot with a full plate waitng for her. When she took her seat next to Artie, he leant over and gave her a small kiss followed by a smile. Before long the two were leavinig the house as his parents wished them a good day of school and started walking towards the building.
"Are you nervous," Artie asked when they came in sight of the building and stopped for a moment.
"A little. But I'll be ok. Look, there's Kurt and Mercedes," Tina added confidentaly as the two made their way over to their friends.
Kurt and Mercededs did not realize the two were standing there untill Tina greeted both of them with a, "Hi guys."
The two looked up in shock and stood quietly with wide eyes until they wrapped her in a tight hug at the same time. Tina couldn't help but laugh and add, "If you guys hug me any tighter I won't be pregnant anymore."
Both let go but were still speachless. A first for both of them. With another small laugh she gestured towards the building and said, "Come on. we better get to class before we're late."
Both beamed at her before each hooking one of their arms with hers and leading her into the building. Artie wheeled behind smiling at the bravery at his girl-friend. But as if a switch was flipped, as soon as she entered the building, every eye was on her and Artie and all went silent. Tina was at first uncomfortable and thought about running home but instead stood up straight and grabbed Artie's hand as they made their way towards their lockers. When they arrived at Tina's locker, all members of the Glee club were standing there silent and apprehensive as she got closer. She beamed at her friends and said, "Hi guys."
Everyone seemed to smile and relaxed at her easy going nature.
"Are you alright?" Most of the members asked at the same time.
"I'm fine. Infact never better. I'm staying at Artie's now and we are going to keep the baby. But of course I'm only a couple weeks along so get ready for a whole bunch of puke and moodiness."
Everyone laughed and admired her bravery. Quinn soon stood out in front of the group. "Come on Tina, before we're late for science. Nothing ever happens in there so we can talk about anything you want to know."
She smiled at her friend she was extremely glad to have at the moment. She kissed Artie goodbye and promisied to see him in math. She then turned around and waved at her group of friends saying she was looking forward to seeing them at Glee practice. Everyone waved and headed off to their class rooms before they were late. As Brittany and Santana walked off towards English, Brittany asked, "Is Tina gonna be alright? I saw in a vampire movie once that babies burst out of their mom's stomach." Santana shook her head and assured her that those kind of things don't happen to good vampires.
