a/n: So so so sorry I haven't updated in so long! When I first heard the spoiler that Santana was going to get slushied, I immediately had ideas about how I wanted this chapter to go, and I was just waiting to see how it played out on the show. I had no idea we'd have to wait so long to see it. Well we finally saw it and we got NOTHING about why she got slushied or any story around it, so I'll do my best. Thanks again for the reviews, favorites, and alerts! They make my day!
Despite what she may have told Lauren, Santana did not come from the wrong side of the tracks. The Lopez family actually lived in a 6,000 square foot house in one of Lima's most prestigious neighborhoods. She and Sam joked that they wouldn't have to tell her parents about the pregnancy, she would just wear baggy clothes, and they could keep the baby in one of the home's seven bedrooms and the adults would have no idea. Since Santana's three older brothers had moved out, she'd had the entire second floor to herself and her parents never ever went up there. In fact they were rarely home. The maid came up there but ever since Santana threatened to have her deported if she told the Lopezes about the baggies of vomit she had found in the linen closet during Santana's bulimic phase sophomore year, she knew she had nothing to worry about from that end. Really though, to Santana, telling her parents was the thing that scared her most about being pregnant. To say they were going to be shocked would be an understatement. Santana was a member of the Celibacy Club, and even though the entire faculty and student body at William McKinley High School knew better, her parents actually believed that their daughter was a virgin. Why would their little princess lie to them? It's not like she was "that Fabray girl", they'd raised her better than that. Or so they thought.
Both of the teenagers were nervous, but after what had happened at school that day, they knew they had to tell their parents as soon as possible before they found out from someone else. Due to nerves, Sam was now just as nauseous as Santana had been the last few weeks and they were starting to think hiding the baby was actually a good idea. They knew realistically it would never work so they were able get Santana's parents to invite Sam over along with Mr. and Mrs. Evans over for pizza on very short notice, explaining that it was just time that they all met eachother.
Earlier that morning Santana caught up with Brittany for the first time in a week to get to the bottom of the silly rumor that Brittany had joined The Braniacs. There was no way. Santana had known Brittany since Kindergarten and although she loved the girl with all her heart, she had to admit that her best friend was pretty dumb. The only reason that she had been passed on to the next grade every year was because she was the most talented dancer on the Cheerios and Sue threatened bodily harm to any teacher who failed her and made her ineligible. So they passed her. Now that they were off the Cheerios, Santana was doing her best to help her pass her classes by studying with her and even doing her homework for her. Now that she was pregnant though, she didn't know how she was going to keep this up. She now had her own serious problems to deal with. She was just about to ask Brittany about it when Dave Karofsky, the world's biggest Neanderthal douchebag approached her out of nowhere.
"I thought I'd bring you a slushy since you've been carrying them around with you everywhere these days. Seems red is your favorite!". And with that, he threw it in her face. Santana had never been so humiliated in her life, or so she thought, plus it hurt like a bitch. Kurt once described the feeling as being "bitch-slapped by an iceburg" and Santana thought that was pretty accurate, she was also upset that one of her favorite tops was now ruined. She probably wouldn't be able to wear it anymore in a few months but hopefully she could have gotten a few more wears out of it.
"You can't slushy her, she's pregnant!" Brittany announced to Karofsky and the hallway full of students without even thinking. She immediately realized her mistake though because her eyes got wide and she covered her mouth with her hands. And Santana was wrong, this was infinitely more humiliating than being slushied.
Santana managed to make it into the bathroom before bursting into tears, and Brittany was right behind her, but she was the last person Santana wanted to see right now.
"Thanks a lot, you ruined my day, I hope you're happy! Who ever thought you could actually be this stupid anyway? That was completely retarded, even coming from you! Do you ever think?" Santana cried.
"I am so sorry, I can't believe I was that stupid, but I just wasn't thinking. You have to believe that I would never do anything to hurt you! I was just looking out for you and the baby!" Brittany cried, trying to hug the Latina.
"Get off me!" Santana demanded, pushing Brittany away and locking herself in one of the stalls. When it was clear she wasn't coming out anytime soon, Brittany left and went to class. Santana stayed there until lunch time when Sam came to get her. Brittany was concerned, and feeling really bad and had told him that she was in there. By that time the entire school, faculty, and Glee club surely knew that Santana was pregnant, and it would only be a matter of time before Jacob blogged about it on the school's website, and everyone on Lima found out. Santana and Sam decided then and there that they had no choice but to tell their parents that night.
The Evans arrived promptly at 7:00 and all three Lopezes greeted them at the door.
"Dr. Lopez, Mrs. Lopez, these are my parents Bill and Mary" Sam said with a nervous smile as he took his girlfriend's hand.
"It's nice to meet you" Mrs. Lopez said, "But please, call us Mark and Cece, that goes for you too Sam. Mrs. Lopez makes me feel like a grandma!"
Sam laughed nervously at the "grandma" comment and Santana felt like she might vomit.
"Your home is beautiful" Mary commented and Cece led the both families into the dining room.
"Thanks" Cece replied "I'll be happy to show you around after dinner, but let's sit down before it gets cold. We just adore Sam, he is so good to our girl and we love seeing her so happy," she added.
"We think Santana is lovely," Bill replied, "and we can see how happy she makes Sam. So what kind of pizza are we having?"
"We got one supreme, and one Hawaiian" Cece replied, opening the boxes. " I hope that's okay. Hawaiian has always been Santana's favorite".
But it wasn't her favorite tonight, as soon as she saw and smelled the combination of Canadian bacon and pineapple, she bolted to the bathroom. A concerned Sam followed, leaving four very confused adults alone in the dining room. Suddenly certain things in the last few weeks began running through Cece's head...the "bird calls" that sounded more like dry-heaving, the recent charges on her Victoria's Secret card that Santana just explained as her old bras getting worn out, and the fact that her daughter was now going to bed as early as 7 pm some nights. Even on weekends. Plus Santana had always been emotional, but lately she was just ridiculous. Things started to click and she she was on the verge of hyperventilating.
A few minutes later, the teenagers returned to the dining room holding hands and looking terrified. Santana looked at her mom and knew that she knew.
"Care to tell us what is going on?" Cece asked after some deep breathing.
No one spoke for what seemed like an eternity, but was really only a few seconds. Finally Sam figured he should just get it over it.
"Santana's pregnant." He blurted. "It's mine, and we're keeping the baby".
Cece and Mary both burst into tears and Mark and Bill couldn't bring themselves to say anything at first. After a few minutes of everyone staring at the teenagers and Santana bawling as well, Mark finally spoke up.
"You little whore!" he spat. "You were the smart one, we had such high hopes for you! Even your dumbass brothers never did anything this stupid. You've ruined your life, you've ruined our lives! Imagine what people will say about us now. Get out of my house, get out of my sight, I can't even look at you right now!"
Of course this only made Santana more upset. Yes, she made a mistake, it's not like she wanted this to happen, but she hated disappointing her parents like this. She had always been her daddy's little princess, he spoiled her rotten and was always bragging about her to everyone he met. Now he was completely disgusted with her and saying horrible things. Cece, Mr. and Mrs. Evans were equally sad and disappointed about the situation but hearing Dr. Lopez say these things, they couldn't help but feel sorry for the kids, especially Santana. Cece wanted to comfort her daughter but in that moment she didn't have the strength to. It was then that Mary Evans stepped up for her.
"That's enough! Bill, Sam, we're leaving. Santana, honey, you're coming too. Pack an overnight bag, you're staying with us until everyone calms down." She said while wrapping her arms around her teenage son's pregnant girlfriend.
Under normal circumstances, she would never allow them both to sleep under her roof, but she couldn't leave her here with her dad so angry with her, and being so scared and pregnant on top of it. Besides, she was already pregnant, it's not like anything else could happen. Ten minutes later the four of them left, Mary's arms still around Santana, leaving the Lopezes stunned and speechless in the dining room.
