When Jade gets to Tori's house, Blake has just woken up. The traffic was a nightmare- it had taken her over an hour to get from point A to point B.
Tori swings open her door and holds her hands for the baby, who is now giggling like a maniac in Jade's arms. Jade walks in the house instead, putting the keys on the counter, and then gives Blake to Tori.
Tori glares for a while, but Jade smiles brightly at her.
"You literally gave birth to an angel." Jade grins before checking the fridge.
Tori stops glaring and smiles softly. "I'm just glad he doesn't look like his father-"
She cuts herself off and instead focuses on the baby in her arms, bouncing him ever so slightly.
Jade's head whips up and she sets her jaw at the prospect of anyone-anything touching Tori like that.
One look at her, however, and Jade's look melts away, replaced with a smile.
Tori smiles back and bops Blake's nose. Jade closes the fridge, having found a juice box, and grabs at Blake, who laughs at her. Tori bats her hands away.
"So who else knows, besides me?" Jade sips on her juice. "About everything-Blake, your sexuality, Lila…"
Tori frowns. "Cat knows about me and Lila…my parents know about me and Lila and Blake…Trina knows about Blake…and Andre knows about the incident-but not about Blake-because he's the one who found me." She finishes, looking thoughtful. "How about you? How many people know you're gay, or in NYC?"
"Um…Mom knows about everything…Beck too, obviously…Dad knows that I'm gay, but he doesn't really accept it; he sorta screamed and hit me when I told him…Lane and Sikowitz know everything too."
Tori looks surprised for a few moments. "Lane and Sikowitz?"
"Sikowitz found out during our play and Lane helped me with the whole dad thing-plus they both wrote me letters of recommendation to get into Pace."
Tori nods for a second before narrowing her eyes. "How did the play make Sikowitz find out?"
"I calmly informed him that I didn't wish to do the play and he asked why. I told him it was because of Beck. He said we were broken up. Then there was a silence and I sorta just came out to him." Jade's tone is clipped, and Tori senses that there's more to the story, but she doesn't push.
"That's horrible about your dad, by the way." Tori says softly.
"Yeah, mom divorced him after that. I don't really see him-at all. I'm over eighteen, so legally, he can't do a thing about it." There's a twinge of sadness in her voice.
Blake sneezes before opening his tiny mouth.
"M-m-m-mo" he tries. Tori's mouth falls open and Jade looks shocked.
"Mo-mo-mo." He tries again.
"Mo-momma." he tries again, grinning like an idiot.
Tori's eyes fill with tears and Jade rushes to her side.
"Were those his…?" Jade whispers, and Tori can only nod.
"Momma. Momma. Momma. Momma." Blake chatters away happily. "Momma. Momma."
"Oh my god." Tori whispers.
"Momma. Mommamomma. Momma."
"Yeah baby, I'm your momma." Tori whispers. "I'm your momma."
Jade sits Blake in his high-chair and gives Tori a giant hug.
Tori smiles and wipes at her eyes before calling Lila.
Jade can hear the blonde through the phone. "Tori, what is it? I only have three more hours until I'm on winter break, can it wait?"
Tori's face falls slightly at her tone, but she's still smiling. Jade doesn't miss it though.
"Um, Blake…he said…he called me Momma…he said his first words…" Tori chokes out before holding her breath.
"Oh my god." Lila breathes out. "That's…that's incredible Tori."
"I know! I'll let you go, I'll see you soon, okay?"
"Um, yeah, okay." Lila whispers before the phone clicks off and Tori slides it back on the counter.
"Momma. Mooooomma." Blake's still buzzing in the background.
Jade goes over and picks him up. He grins.
Tori's grinning like a madman. She goes over to the closet and pulls out several varieties of baby toys, taking Blake from Jade and setting him on the ground. He immediately starts to play with a few blocks and Tori turns to Jade.
"Did that just happen?!"
"Yeah Tori…Yeah it did." Jade's in awe.
"You want some lunch?" Tori clears her throat and wipes at her eyes again. "Sorry, I was never this emotional before I got pregnant…" she clears her throat again and heads to the fridge. "I can make grilled cheese or something."
Jade smiles. "That would be really good. Can you get me a juice box, too?"
"Umm…like, Blake's juice boxes?" Tori hums in amusement. "The ones meant for the baby?"
Jade faux-glares in her direction. "Yes, those juice boxes. You have a problem?"
"No, no…just…really?" Tori laughs hysterically. "The great Jade West likes juice boxes."
"And the pristine Tori Vega got pregnant. I guess we're both full of surprises." Jade says before she can stop herself.
She lets out an awkward laugh, but its cut short by Tori's glare.
"Out." Her face is livid. "Now."
"I didn't-" Jade starts, but Tori throws her keys at her.
"Out. Now. Or else I swear Jade I will call the cops on you for trespassing."
Jade's eyes widen and she grabs the keys, scampering out the door.
Once in the car, she presses her head against the steering wheel.
"What the fuck did I just do?" she whispers, looking around slowly. "What the hell did I just do?"

Tori looks at Blake, who's still chattering to the blocks. Her eyes fill with tears-and not the good kind. She chokes them down, however, and gives her son a watery smile.
"I'll always love you, Blakey, no matter how you happened. I know you don't understand this yet, but I didn't plan you, and for a while I didn't want you, but I still love you, and don't you dare let anyone tell you differently."
