48. Pregnant
As Kurt walks into the living room he comes across a scene that he has witnessed many times over the past couple of weeks. There on the couch, Santana and Rachel were cuddled up watching a movie.
In a way he was glad that his friends had found happiness in each other. He just wished that they didn't show that happiness all over the loft. He can never walk into a room these days without finding Santana's lips attached to Rachel.
Just yesterday he walked into the kitchen to find Santana with her arms wrapped around Rachel's waist as she chopped vegetables. Her lips firmly planted on Rachel's neck. The only time they left his best friends neck was when Rachel fed her a piece of vegetable.
It seemed strange at first. He didn't know how to react when he first walked into the living room to find them kissing on the couch, but the more he saw of them together, the more it made sense.
It had all started after Santana had made it her mission to find out what Brody was really up to and once the secret was out she was the one to comfort Rachel. Since then the scene before him became a regular occurrence.
"Hey guys, what you watching?" Kurt asks.
"Funny Girl."
"You're watching Funny Girl without me?"
"She's still not feeling well. She's been throwing up all morning so I thought it might cheer her up" Santana replies.
"Do you know what's wrong yet? It isn't infectious is it?"
"I don't know what it is but Santana has been with me for the past few days and she hasn't shown any symptoms" Rachel answers.
"I told her if it continues I'm taking her to see a doctor" Santana adds.
"I don't need a doctor now can we please watch the rest of the movie."
"Fine."
"Are you going to join us Kurt?" Rachel asks.
"Sure."
At least if Rachel was sick Santana would keep her lips to herself. He later finds out that he couldn't say the same for her hands.
When Santana arrives home from work the next day she expects to find Rachel on the couch watching some form of musical, so she's surprised when she finds that the living room is empty.
She pulls back the curtain to their bedroom and finds her girlfriend curled into a ball on the bed.
"Rach, what's wrong?" Santana asks noticing Rachel's tear stained eyes.
She gets onto the bed and wraps her arms around Rachel's body.
"I went to see the doctor today."
"Please tell me that you're okay."
"I'm pregnant."
Rachel is slightly unnerved that Santana hadn't said anything. She can only take comfort in the fact that she hadn't run away yet. She can't believe she has ended up this position. She was just starting to feel happy again after everything that happened with Brody.
She and Santana were doing great. They were still in that honeymoon period and Rachel didn't know how this news was going to affect their relationship. She didn't know if she would keep the baby. The only thing she did know was that an abortion was not an option.
How are supposed to react when your girlfriend of just a few weeks tells you that she's pregnant? Santana didn't know but it wasn't as if this was some girl she met recently this was Rachel. Enemy turned best friend and then girlfriend.
Santana doesn't know what Rachel is going to do. All she knows is that she can't let her go through this alone. She tightens her arms around Rachel pulling her close to her chest.
"Everything's going to be okay. Whatever you decide, we'll get through this together."
