The next day Sue had enough energy to get throughout the day and cheerios practice. By the time the last bell rang she was sitting in her chair going over her list of cheerios figuring out whom to kick out when there was a knock on her door.
"Come in." she said not looking up from her papers.
"Ms. Sylvester?"
She looked up from her papers and saw Rachel berry sitting in front of her desk. She put her pen down and took of her glasses.
"Is there something you needed Rachel?"
"I… just wanted to see if you were alright."
"I'm fine."
"The reason I ask is because yesterday when I saw you, you looked weak and sick."
"I'm fine… had a little bit of vomiting this morning but otherwise I'm fit as a fiddle. Why are you wondering?"
"Because I… feel guilty about what I did. I shouldn't have invaded your and Mr. Schuester's privacy like that and I wanted to let you know I haven't told anyone. And I thought maybe you needed a friend."
"Well I thank you for your consideration but I'm fine. Now if you please?"
"I'll be going now."
As she headed for the door, she had her hand on the doorknob when Sue said something to make Rachel stop in her tracks.
"I'm going to the doctor today to make sure it's true."
"Really?"
"Yes. My appointment is at 5:30 today."
Rachel pulled out a small pink notepad, scribbled something on it, and handed it to Sue. Sue looked down at it and saw that it was her phone number. She looked back up at Rachel who was putting her pen back into her bag.
"What is this?"
"Let me know how it goes. See you later."
She left her office letting Sue contemplate whether or not she should tell Rachel about it. She shook her head and balled up the paper, sticking it in her pocket as she grabbed her things and turned her lights off in her office. She met Will outside in the parking lot, got into his car, and drove to the ob/gyn office. After they signed in, and sat down, she thanked god there was no one else in the office that would've recognized her. Will took her hand and massaged it gently trying to alleviate the tension that was growing from the pit of her stomach.
"Sue Sylvester?"
"Yes?"
"Follow me please."
The nurse took them into an all white room with a table and stirrups in the middle and a small changing screen on the other side.
"Lie down here and the doctor will in here in a few minutes."
"Thank you."
She laid down and began to freak out. The knot that was in the pit of her stomach began to grow tighter as the minutes passed. Will took her hand again and stroked it gently. He could only imagine how scary this must be for her, thinking that she could never get pregnant and now coming to the conclusion that she might be.
"I'm afraid."
"I know but it will be ok. I promise."
He leaned down and kissed her gently as the doctor walked in.
"Hey… not in the office ok? (Laughs)."
"(Chuckles.)"
"So… you want to know if you are pregnant?"
"Yes. I took about 8 home pregnancy tests and they all said positive, I've been puking every morning, and I'm always tired."
"Well let's have a look see."
He turned on the ultrasound machine and grabbed the scanning tool. He asked for her to pull her pants down a little so he could reach her abdomen. He grabbed the scanning gel and put some on her abdomen.
"This will be a little cold."
"Oh! It is cold… please be careful of my pants."
"Ok..."
He placed the tool on her abdomen going back and forth until he found her uterus. She looked over at will who still hand her hand in his, then looked over at the screen and saw the most amazing thing in her life.
"Well there you go… you are indeed pregnant. Congratulations."
"Thank you."
She couldn't draw her eyes away from the screen. There embedded in her uterus was another person living within her. This was her dream come true, to become a mother although no one else knew but her sister because everyone would see that as her being soft, and she's put too much work into her hard as nails image. She then began to think about the consequences of this situation. She knew she couldn't keep it from everyone once the baby started to grow and her belly would get big, and then the questions would come that she really didn't want to answer. She was so spaced out in her head she didn't know that the doctor had left and it was just her and will in the room with a slip of paper in his hand.
"Hey… you ok? I lost you for a minute there."
"Yeah I'm fine. What's that?"
"Your prescription for prenatal vitamins. We can get it filled on the way home."
"Ok."
"Are you sure you're ok? You seem out of it."
"Yeah I'm fine… still in shock I think."
"Come on let's get you home."
As they left the doctor's office they stopped off at the pharmacy so she could get her prescription filled. Once she got her pills, will took her home and made dinner for them. After she took her pill she actually was surprised at the fact that she could actually eat something without it making her sick. Later that night Will and Sue were lying in bed talking. He was stroking her abdomen gently, and she was running a hand through his hair.
"I still can't believe it. I'm going to be a father."
"I know what you mean. It's unreal… I thought that I could never get pregnant. All my doctors told me there was almost no chance at it."
"I guess you're a special case."
"I have to tell you something… Rachel knows… about us and the baby."
"What… how?"
"She um saw us kissing yesterday in the choir room and found one of my pregnancy tests on the floor. She gave her number because she thought I needed a friend."
"Is she gonna…"
"No she promised me she wouldn't tell anyone."
"Oh... Well that's good… are you going to take her up on her offer?"
"To what? Be friends with her? I thought about it and I realize I do need someone to talk to."
"You got me."
"I mean I need to talk to someone other than you. It will help me to have a girl to talk to who understands what's going on with my body."
"Ok now I get it."
"Speaking of which…" she grabbed her pants off the floor, unballed the piece of paper, and picked up her phone.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm calling Rachel. She wanted to know how the appointment went. Hello? Rachel?"
"Hey… how did it go?"
"It's true. I am…"
"Are you ok?"
"Sort of… I'm still in a little shock."
"It will be ok. I promise, I have to go but I'll see you tomorrow."
"Ok goodbye Rachel."
She hung up her phone and got back in bed with Will, and they fell asleep gently with his hands wrapped around her waist.
