Chapter Four
"Rachel, Noah and Miss Darcy," he said with a smile on his face. "What can I do for you,"
"Well we'd like to have a word if that's okay," I said.
"That is fine, the governors were just leaving," he said.
"It seems you favour these children over the other students," said the lady, who I had since learned was called Annette.
"That is not the case at all," said Mr Figgins, "They simply want to speak to me in privacy, although I think I already know what they want to discuss,"
The governors left after that and Figgins told us to take a seat. "Whoever elected that woman as a governor needs help," he said, "But you didn't hear that, so what is it you'd like to discuss, does it have anything to do with why you had to come in later today,"
"Yes," I said. "I'm pregnant Mr Figgins,"
"Oh well congratulations," he said. "I'm happy for you, I shall let you tell your fellow students, but I shall tell the staff at lunch today,"
"Thank you sir," I said. "I have my next scan on 23rd October, at 1pm, is that going to be a problem,"
"Rachel, you are one of our best pupils, actually the best pupils we have in this school are in glee club," he said. "It's fine, now then I think it best you head to Spanish,"
We walked out, and people stared at us, well Darcy more so. We arrived in Spanish just as Will did, "Hello, Will," said Darcy.
"Hey Darcy, and Hey everyone else too," he said.
"Mr Schue why does she get to call you by your first name," said one of the girls in the front row.
"It's easier for her," said Will. "Now then, shall we begin,"
"Ci," said Darcy.
"You speak Spanish," said Will.
"She watches Dora," I said. "She's picked up some of it," Darcy enjoyed that lesson, she got to say a few more Spanish words. It was now lunch and to avoid hassle, we went to the choir room for lunch, and were soon joined by our friends. "Hey guys how did it go this morning," said Quinn.
"It went really well," I said. "We'll show you a DVD later, I don't want people walking past and hearing it,"
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet," said Kurt.
"No, but we'll be able to find out at our next scan," I said. "Darcy told us this morning she wanted a brother,"
"Yeah," said Darcy. "So we can beat daddy in sports,"
"What sport's do you like Darcy," said Finn.
"Baseball," she said. "But daddy won't let me play that after last time,"
"Why," said Mike and Matt together.
"I got hit," he said. "She hit the ball towards me, but aimed lower than my glove,"
"Point taken," said the guys as us girls laughed.
"I still don't think that is nearly as painful as what I'll be doing soon," I said.
"That is one of life's unanswerable questions," said Noah. "But I guess both hurt,"
"So you will be having a natural birth," said Mercedes.
"Of course," I said. "Hey at least I am a little more prepared this time,"
"Yeah, but can you try not to go into labour at 3 in the morning again," said Noah. "I was having a really nice dream about you,"
"Carry on and they will only be just dreams," I said smirking.
"Okay you can go into labour whenever you want," he said as everyone laughed at how easily I got him to change his mind.
"Why are you students in here, and not in the lunch hall like everyone else," said Annette walking into the room.
"Because they want to be," said Sue Sylvester's voice. "Figgins has already said that they can have lunch in here, since it's the only place they don't get hassled by the rest of the student body, if you have a problem clear it with him," Annette left after that.
"Thanks coach," said Quinn.
"No problem and congratulations, Berry," she said. "I'll see you around, San, Quinn and Brit, I need you later but only for half hour, bye guys,"
"I can't get over how nice she's been," said Quinn.
"I know, I mean she used to be so..." San trailed off thinking of a word.
"Explosive," said Darcy. "Like volcanoes," We laughed as we remembered that joke from last year. The rest of the week went well, people were used to having Darcy around, and thankfully no one had come near her with slushies like the last time.
The weekend arrived and I decided me and Noah needed to go shopping for baby stuff. We had recently moved into my parents room, it wasn't doing anything and it's what they would have wanted. We'd decorated it and it looked very stylish, my old room was going to be the nursery, We would use the bathroom in there as the baby changing room. I sighed happily, getting into bed Friday night, life was good.
