A/N: So the author comes out of hiding. I'm fully prepared if you all want to throw eggs at me or something, I haven't updated in over a month and I am sincerely sorry for that. I hope that an update can help you all forgive me! This chapter will feature none other then Brittany S . Pierce! Her and Santana have a fabulous scene (well it's fabulous in my opinion) in the beginning that flows into a group girls scene. So I actually had this all written about a week ago but then my laptop crashed, and I lost it, I'm so sorry!
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, or the Lifetime movie 'The Pregnancy Pact' in which this story is based.
Notes: I'm ditching that whole structure that I used because it was becoming a hassle, and also ignore the message at the end of the last chapter that said what was going to happen in this chapter.
Glee!
"So wait, why are you ditching me to hang out with Sam?" Brittany asked, yet again, Santana was trying to explain that she would have to reschedule hanging out with her best friend because she had a doctors appointment concerning her baby.
"If I could get out of this particular outing trust me I would, I miss you." Santana said, and she was partly lying, she was ecstatic about seeing her child for the first time, but she hated more then anything that it was cutting into the already limited time with Britt. They both hated that they were slowly and slowly spending less time with each other.
"I miss you too, so I can't see why your ditching me for Sam." Brittany said, and Santana sighed, Brittany still didn't understand the whole pregnancy thing. Santana was really glad that her boyfriend was someone smart like Artie, who would know exactly how to not let something like that happen to Brittany.
"I'm not ditching you for Sam, it has to do with the baby." Santana said in a whispered voice, they were in the cafeteria and Brittany was still the only person besides the other girls and Sam that knew. Oh and Artie knew, but Santana knew that he wouldn't tell anyone. The person Santana really didn't want overhearing this conversation was someone like Karofsky or Coach Sylvester, someone who would spread the news around the school.
"Oh, well how long are you going to be doing that for?" Brittany asked, reaching across the table to grab a carrot of Santana's plate. Santana growled slightly, not loud enough for Brittany to hear, but the blond couldn't help her nature, and Santana was just really protective of food recently. She was one of those pregnant people, one who ate anything and everything. Sam found it really gross, but he still drove her out to McDonald's in the middle of the night to get a McFlurry and fries.
"I told you, I'm due in about 7 and a half months and then I'll have a baby, and I swear once that baby is here you can see us everyday. You'll be it's Aunt Brittany and you'll love it more then anything in the entire world." Santana said, and Brittany smiled coming over to Santana's side of the table to give Santana a hug. She melted into her best friend's embrace, hating that it had been so freaking long since they done that.
"I'm going to be that best Auntie Brittany in the entire world." Brittany whispered, into Santana's hair, Santana beamed. She knew that Brittany would love the idea of being an aunt. Brittany went back to her side of the table, and waved happily to Quinn, Rachel and Tina who were paying for their food in the line. They all waved back, Tina a huge smile on her face, Quinn a small twitch of her lips and Rachel, a sort of emptiness in her eyes. Santana didn't exactly know why, but Rachel had been sort of out of it the past couple days, Kurt had said it had something to do with her doctor's appointment, but she hadn't told anyone what had happened.
"Hey guys!" Tina said happily as she sat down next to Brittany, who waved enthusiastically, Santana just smiled at the girl. Quinn and Rachel joined a second later, Quinn giving the three girls smiles while Rachel just sat, looking down sadly at her food.
"Rachel, you ok?" Santana asked, she may not be Berry's biggest fan, but it was so unlike Rachel to mope around for days, not giving any explanation. Usually if something was wrong with Rachel everyone would know why.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Rachel responded quietly, poking at her food, refusing to look at anyone else. Quinn gave Santana a look that told her to leave Rachel alone, but now Santana was really curious. Santana rolled her eyes dramatically.
"Like hell you're fine. What the fuck is wrong with you?" Santana asked, Quinn glared at her and Rachel looked like she was going to cry when she looked up. Like she had been caught in an act she didn't want anyone to discover.
"None of your business and like I told you I'm fine, just leave me alone." Rachel said forcefully, Quinn moved closer to her friend but didn't touch her, Rachel looked like she would snap at any moment. Santana spotted Finn standing in line for food, grateful that if something did happen with Rachel, Finn was right there.
"Why don't you just tell me what's wrong maybe I can help, or are you scared, did you do something wrong? All I know is that you are not fine, alright so why don't you just tell me what the hell is the matter with you." Santana demanded, slamming her hands down on the table. The surrounding tables glared at their's, Rachel refused to answer and let her head drop in her hands.
"Santana leave her alone." Quinn said quietly, and Tina reached over and rubbed Rachel's arm soothingly.
"No, she's upset and I'm trying to help." Santana said, ignoring the fact that Rachel had started crying.
"You have a funny way of showing concern, can't you see that you're just upsetting her more." Quinn said, as though she was the only one who knew how upset Rachel was. Santana scoffed, and was about to come up with a witty reply when Rachel suddenly jumped from her seat and ran from the cafeteria, her head in her hands. Quinn shoot a glare in Santana's direction, Santana shrugging nonchalantly.
Quinn stood to go follow her, but Tina grabbed her arm and pointed towards Finn, who had seen Rachel flee the cafeteria, and was already on his way out to find her. Quinn sank down in her seat, turned away from Santana and started talking to Tina about the calculus test she had just taken.
Santana rolled her eyes and turned to Brittany who was acting like she hadn't noticed everything that had just happened.
"Someone's got their elastic waistband in a bunch." Santana muttered glancing around to see if anyone had heard her. Quinn glanced at her but didn't respond, and although she didn't turn she saw Tina's eyes flicker in her direction.
Santana just shrugged, and went back to eating her lunch, still very curious as to what was wrong with Rachel.
Glee!
Why was she such a coward? How dare she let Santana, of all people, get to her. She had sworn to herself and to Finn and to Kurt and to Mercedes that she was fine and that she could handle going to school, even after discovering the news of her double pregnancy. How could she be so stupid, she couldn't believe that she had ever agreed to such a stupid thing to begin with.
Why couldn't she just be the supportive best friend to Quinn, why the hell did she say she would get pregnant, now she was not only ruining her own life, but Finn's as well. He had been nothing but good to her since they had started dating, and he had told her he had dreams for himself, but now all those dreams were nothing.
And what about her dreams, she still wanted to be on Broadway, make something of herself, but no she had to go and get pregnant, and now she was going to be stuck living here in Lima for the rest of her life. She was such an idiot. What the hell was wrong with her? She started crying again.
She was sitting in the choir room, her knees drawn to her chest, her face buried in her hands. She hadn't fully let herself just cry since she found out the news. Sure she would cry at night sometimes, and no matter how many times he told her he didn't mind staying up all night to make her feel better she had contained it to allow Finn to get some sleep.
She still couldn't believe she hadn't been able to hold it in today in front of Santana, Tina, Quinn and Brittany. She still hadn't told Quinn the news, but Quinn was the kind of person who didn't ask what was wrong, just did everything in her power to make the person feel better. Rachel was so grateful for a friend like Quinn but that still didn't help her from feeling like she was breaking apart at the seams.
"Rach." Her head snaps up, she goes to wipe away the tears but then she notices who it is. Finn's standing in the doorway, that sad smile on his face that he gets sometimes, when he's happy but sad at the same time. She doesn't say anything but simply nods in his direction.
He doesn't say anything he just walks to her, sits in the seat next to her and brings her into his arms. He pulls her gently into his lap, rubbing small, calming circles on her back, he lets her cry and this time she doesn't try to hold it in.
They spend all of sixth and seventh period in the choir room, not caring that they'll most likely get detention for not showing up to class, but whatever it meant more time they could spend with each other.
"What's wrong Rach?" Finn asked about halfway into what should have been their sixth period class. "I saw you leave the cafeteria in tears, what happened?" Rachel sniffled, her hands playing with the bottom of Finn's shirt.
"Santana just kept asking me what was wrong, and she wouldn't leave me alone about it, I just don't want to tell anybody yet." Rachel whispered, glad that her mouth was close to Finn's ear she he would actually hear her.
"Rach, don't let her get to you, you don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to." Finn said soothingly and he pressed a kiss to her temple. She sighed and brought her hand to his shoulder, looking him in the eye.
"Well I probably will tell them all eventually, but I'm just not ready yet." She says, her eyes falling and the undeniable sting of tears burning her eyes. Finn notices a tears fall and gently wipes it away with his finger tip. She gave him a shy smile and kissed him quickly.
"Whenever you're ready." He said and she leaned into him. She could always count on him to make her feel better, but it was only a matter of time before everything blew up in face.
Glee!
"I really don't understand why you did that, couldn't you see that you were making her upset." Quinn said loudly as her and Santana exited the cafeteria after the bell rang. Neither knew where Rachel had run off too, but chances are Finn had found her so she was probably ok. Santana rolled her eyes and turned to face the blond who couldn't quite walk as fast as Santana could.
"I didn't know that she was going to get that upset over a little thing, god, it's not my problem her baby hormones are making her moody." Santana said, Quinn scoffed, Santana tried to turn to walk away but the blond's reflexes hadn't slowed with pregnancy.
"Well you could have at least realized that she didn't want to talk about and just left it alone, but no, you had to pry, you had to go there, you just love pushing her to her limits." Quinn said, a small smirk forming on her face. Santana was a pretty complex person but Quinn could read her like a book.
"What went on in the cafeteria has nothing to do with you Preggers, it was between me and Rachel, so why don't you just leave it alone." Santana said and she yet again tried to walk away from the girl, but was again unsuccessful. Quinn found it in her power to walk fast enough to get in front of Santana.
"Don't you think it's a little hypocritical to stand here and call me Preggers when you are in the exact situation. And it is my business because Rachel is my best friend and I hate seeing her when she's upset, and you made her upset." Quinn said, raising an eyebrow. Santana shh'ed her when she mentioned Santana being in the same situation. The last thing Santana needed was Quinn revealing to the entire school her secret.
"Shut it will you Fabray." Santana said but Quinn didn't look like she was backing down one bit. Quinn just smirked slightly and turned to look who else was still in the hallway.
"What you mean you don't want me to accidently reveal to the whole school that you're..." Quinn said, a fake tone of innocence in her voice. The observers in the hallway had all suddenly focused on the two girls.
"Don't even think about it, or I will slap you." Santana said gritting her teeth. She raised her hand slightly, showing that she wasn't afraid to fight if she had too. Quinn just laughed.
...dating Sam." Quinn finished with an airy giggle. Santana faltered, her mouth dropping open in shock. Quinn smiled to the people who had been watching. "That's right Santana Lopez is with my ex and I have no problem with it, you can continue with you're lives now." Quinn finished.
Santana just stood there, her hand still raised, ready to attack at any moment. Quinn looked her a satisfied smile on her face.
"You didn't really think I would tell the whole school you're secret would you?" Quinn asked, raising an eyebrow. Santana just shrugged.
"What's going on here?" Puck said, suddenly appearing out of no where, wrapping an arm around Quinn's shoulders. Santana looked quizzically between the two who just stood there sharing a small smile.
"Hey Lopez wanna close your mouth and lower your hand, I don't like anyone even coming close to threatening my girl." Puck said, and Quinn sighed at her boyfriend's unnecessary need to be protective. Every since they had officially started dating about a week ago, he had been particularly clingy. Quinn found it very sweet and thoughtful but seriously over the top.
"Since when has she been you're 'girl'?" Santana put air quotes around 'girl'. Puck shrugged his shoulders. Santana was finding it increasingly hard to believe that Puck had actually settled down, she also jokingly wondered what Quinn had done with his balls.
"For a while, I mean she is carrying my child and I'm kinda in love with her so that definitely contributes." Puck said proudly and Quinn couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. Santana scoffed, unable to open her mouth afraid that she would puke.
The bell rang and Santana stalked away from the two, considering they had taken this opportunity to have a very long goodbye kiss. God, they were even worse then Finn and Rachel. At least they waiting til you walked away to start sucking face.
"Gross." She muttered. She really could care less about being late to her next class, it was with Mr. Schue, she could just say she was helping Rachel out with some pregnancy issue. She really didn't like the fact that she couldn't use her pregnancy as an excuse, but it's not like she wanted the entire school to know her secret.
Once she was far enough away from Quinn and Puck she slid to the floor. She really should cut class more often, it was nice in the empty hallway. No screaming, no couples getting harassed by teachers for sucking face while up against a locker. It was almost completely silent, maybe an occasional slam of a distant locker of a kid who had left his book there, or a flush of a toilet by someone who had forgotten to go in between classes.
Oh yeah she was definitely skipping class more often. Maybe next time she would be in the same place, she was almost hidden from view, the only way you'd be able to find her was if you were looking. If you were looking it would be pretty easy, but to random teachers she was unnoticeable.
Prefect she thought, I'll just sit here until seventh period then I'll go the chemistry, the only class I want to go to, because I get to be lab partners with Brit.
She thought her plan was full proof, until she was discovered. But it wasn't by a teacher or a fellow class skipper, but by her baby daddy.
"Santana?" Sam asked, when he did a double take, seeing her sitting behind the large column in the middle of the hallway.
"Sam, you can see me, damn it guess this hiding place isn't as good as I thought it was." She said truly disappointed. Sam just smiled.
"Listen actually I was looking for you actually, we haven't had a real chance to talk about our relationship, so I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner with me on Friday, at Breadsticks." Sam said, and Santana beamed.
"I would be honored, I think it's time to introduce the little one the heavenly thing that is Breadsticks." Santana said, and Sam chuckled. They smiled, and for once Santana genuinely felt happy, she had this feeling in her heart that she had never had before. "Wait, you're still coming to my ultrasound today aren't you?" She asked, hoping he hadn't forgotten. He still hadn't told his parents, so she knew sometimes it was hard to keep the lie going.
"Wouldn't miss it. I'll pick you up after school. Bye." He leaned in tenderly kissing her cheek, before walking back to whatever class he was supposed to be in.
"Bye Sam." Santana whispered, but she could barely hear herself over the pounding in her chest.
Glee!
"So, what's it like being pregnant?" Brittany asked Tina as they exited their sixth period English class. Tina's head snapped up in surprise. How is gods name did Brittany know? Artie.
"It's not much different from not being pregnant, I mean you just get sick sometimes and are a lot hungrier then you would be if you weren't." Tina said, trying to make things as simple as she could for Brittany, who just looked her.
If she was talking to anyone else she probably would have talked for hours about how much pain she was constantly in, and how of the four girls she seemed to have the worst morning sickness. She had already missed a week of school total because of such bad morning sickness. But this was Brittany and they were at school they're were plenty of people who could have easily overheard their conversation.
"That doesn't seem too bad, I mean San's always complaining about how she doesn't feel good, or her feet hurt, or she has a craving for something that she doesn't have." Brittany said, obvious confused by the two different answers she had received.
"Well it's different for everybody. Listen Brittany I have to go or I'll be late for history, I'll see you later." Tina said, feeling slightly sorry that she was ditching the girl, but she really didn't want to talk about baby stuff with Brittany. Tina quickly walked away clutching her books to her chest, hoping Brittany wouldn't follow. She breathed out deeply when she didn't hear footsteps behind her, but what did happen was so much worse.
"Well I was just wondering in case I end getting pregnant, what to expect." Brittany called down the crowded hallway. Tina froze in place, unable to react properly, Mr. Schue who had heard what Brittany said and was in front of Tina took a tentative step forward.
Tina felt the eyes of the entire study body burning holes in her body and she could barely contain the tears the threatened to flow from her eyes. She couldn't move, but she couldn't keep standing here, not after what Brittany had just said.
"Tina is that true? Are you pregnant?" Mr. Schue asked, obvious concern for the teenager lacing his voice. Tina couldn't form words so she just nodded, she finally felt herself able to move and she ran straight for the nearest bathroom, ignoring the calls from Mr. Schue and the apologies that Brittany was shouting down the hallway.
In the empty bathroom Tina felt a sob rib through her chest, the tears now flowing freely from her eyes, without any signs of stopping soon. Why, she knew she couldn't completely blame Brittany, the poor girl didn't have any idea what she had done, and she had apologized.
"Tina, I am so sorry, I had no idea that no one knew, I thought that when Artie told me it meant that everyone knew." Brittany said, bursting through the door to the bathroom, immediately pulling Tina into a hug. Tina accepted the girl's apology and the hug with gratitude. "I promise if any of them try to do anything to hurt you, San, Rachel or Quinn I'll kick their ass." Brittany said a smile forming on her face. Tina giggled.
"Thank you, and apology accepted I know you didn't mean to." Tina said, Brittany beamed and pulled Tina in for another hug.
"Come on, Mr. Schue holding an emergency glee meeting this period." Brittany said, holding out her hand. Tina didn't move, she wasn't a huge fan of touching in public, her and Mike barely ever held hands at school, but she also knew that Brittany meant well and she would hate to hurt her feelings so she grabbed it.
So now everyone knew, but instead of it killing her, she was actually sort of relieved, now Santana needed to tell everyone. Yeah good luck with that one.
Glee!
A/N: And there my lovlies is chapter 7! I am very happy with the way this chapter played out! Sorry it took so long. I promise the next chapter will have more Mike & Puck in them. :) Also coming up is a little suspicion from the other glee clubbers (Mercedes, Kurt, Blaine, Lauren & Artie) who find all these pregnancies more then just coincidental.
Question I'm thinking of making the next chapter from the guys points of view, would you like that or should I stick to the girls?
Word Count: 3628 (these are becoming so easy to make long, I used to not be able to write a chapter much over 1000 words)
Review! :) Thank you all for your kind reviews for the previous chapters, they really do inspire me!
