A/N" Sorry about the long time between updates but I had writers block. I will continue to update this story, because I know where this story is going now, so keep on reading. Please Review too! Thank you so much for all the reviews for last chapter!
Rachel Schuester was having a bad day, a bad month, oh what the hell she was having a bad fucking year. To say that the girl was sad to see 2017 go would be saying something deeply sarcastic. In all honesty the brunette was extremely grateful for 2018 to roll in and hopefully let her start anew.
"Earth to Rachel!" Sam snapped his fingers into his little's sister face hoping to get some sort of rise out of her. When she finally looked up the blond smirked "Are you excited for the New years Party tonight?" He asked referring to the semi annual Schuester's Rockin' New Years celebration, a party where all friends and family members were invited and the place seemed like it would explode.
"I guess. I mean I am really excited to kiss a crummy year goodbye, but I am nervous about having Justin and Jesse in such close proximities this evening."
"English Rach." Sam reminded his little sister as he nudged her gently. "I'll help you all night little sis."
Rachel smiled at her big brother as she leaned over to peck his cheek. "I'll miss you when you leave tomorrow afternoon."
Smiling Sam pulled his baby sister into a tight embrace. "I'll miss you too Princess. Baby you just remember I'm only a text, Skype, or phone call away and so is everybody else."
"Sammy I love you." Rachel smiled patting her brother's arm before turning back to the television to where she had been watching a program.
The simple phrase that Rachel had stated sent Sam back into the past to the last time his baby sister had said the exact same words.
Sam was leaving for college, Rachel was nine and he hated to leave her especially when she cried and cried.
"Rachie you know how much I love you don't you?" The blond had asked looking into chocolate brown eyes.
Rachel looked up eyes wide as she crawled into her older brother's lap. "I don't want you to go. Once you go Sam you won't ever come back." She cried leaning into her brother's chest and sniffling. " I hate saying goodbye."
"Oh Rachie- pie you know that's not true." He told her hugging her small body to his chest. "I love you more than all the stars in the sky and that means I will always come home for you."
Rachel grabbed her brother's hand playing with the long slim fingers before finally speaking again. "Do you promise you'll never forget me?"
Sam let out a low chuckle as he listened to his sister's insecurities, "How can I forget my favorite baby sister who I love so much?" He asked elicitating a giggle from the little girl. "I'll call you every single night to say sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."
"Sammy I love you!"
Brittany Schuester was pacing, back and forth, and it was making her fiancée very nervous. The
couple had big news for their families.
"Artie do you think we should tell them?" Brittany asked her fiancée as finally lay sprawled out on the foldout bed in the basement. "I mean do you think they'll be excited?" She asked worriedly.
Artie leaned his head over to kiss his fiancée on the lips. "Baby I think they'll be ecstatic. I mean we're getting married, having baby, and moving back here to live closer to our families so how could they not be happy?" He asked back as he stroked the blonde's still very flat stomach.
Brittany knew her family would be happy about all of the things her man had listed, but she knew they would all be upset that she didn't tell them sooner. Rachel would probably never speak to her again, especially since the teenager had just ousted her own secret just a few days before. Brittany knew that the others would be upset for a little while and come around, but Rachel would probably give her the silent treatment for the remainder of the trip.
"Come on sweetie, I know your family will be as happy for us as we are for each other." Artie promised kissing her cheek and gently stroking her hair, reassuring the girl he loved those things would work out. "We can even tell them tonight baby." The man replied leaning over to give Brittany a tender kiss.
"I guess New Years will be a good time to tell them Baby."
"Mike!" Tina screamed as a white-hot pain shot through her abdomen. "Mike help!"
The sound of his pregnant wife screaming from the kitchen is enough to make the young Asian man burst into a sprint. When he walks into the kitchen he panics, his wife is standing in the middle of the white kitchen while a line of blood running down her legs leaves a puddle on the floor. "Baby?" He asks uncertainly as his worst nightmare comes true, he doesn't know what to do, how to help his wife.
"Mike I need the hospital." She whispers as she looks at her husband with tears in her eyes; she knows the chances of the baby surviving are slim they are very slim indeed.
"Mom!" Mike screams as he slips a hand under his wife's knees and around her shoulders, walking to the living room. "Mom we need help!"
Shelby looks at her son with wide eyes seeing all of the blood she panics. "We need to get to the hospital." She says assertively grabbing the blanket from the sofa and throwing it around the young Asian woman. "Everyone went out to retrieve things for tonight. We will call them when we get there."
And they race to the hospital Shelby hauling ass as Mike holds his wife who is beginning to pass out from the blood loss. To think they were only hours away from a New Year and to know that this year could end badly, oh so badly, nearly kiss the man.
Mike is on edge, extremely on edge and doesn't want to talk, or see anyone. The man knows he'll regret it if anyone tries to help because he will go off.
"Mikey?" Rachel questions as she watches her brother pace back and forth in an empty hallway. The blood on the front of his shirt is greatly concerning the young brunette. " I know you're scared but things will be okay." She says softly reaching out and squeezing his hand.
He doesn't know what hits him, he doesn't know why he turns into the animal he does but he turns on her. "Oh yeah Rachel and how the fuck would you know that."
Rachel blanches but doesn't move away from the angry man. "Mike I know that you're upset but-"
"Can you ever keep your mouth shut?" He screams at her not even realizing what he's doing. "Do you ever think that's why people don't like you?" He questions tauntingly.
"He's just upset," Rachel's mind, answers for her, "he doesn't know how true his words are." It doesn't help the sting in her eyes or the way her heart literally seems to crumble at his words. "Why are you being so mean?" She asks in a childish voice, her bright eyes shining in their pain and innocence.
"Rachel you're so goddamn innocent." He snarls and takes a step towards her. "The innocence thing is why that kid touches you. Rachel do me a favor and grow up. The world isn't all sunshine and rainbows! DO you understand that!" And at that moment he seems to click back into himself as he sees his little sister completely back into herself. Her eyes are wide and so is her mouth, she's crying, shaking and it just breaks him; he did that. "Rach I am so sorry." He whispers trying to reach her and pull her into an embrace and reassure her that he loves her, that he was just upset and terrified.
"I hate you!" She whispers as she raises a shaking hand and points a shaking index finger at him. "I never thought you would use someone torturing me against me." She runs and if only because she can't stand to see his face, she can't stand to see anyone's face. Rachel needs release and she needs it now, and she knows exactly where she'll get it.
The family looks at Mike in shock as he tells them that he hurt Rachel in the worst way possible. "I don't know what came over me." He whispers as the tears flood from his eyes. "I would never hurt her. It was like I was possessed or something"
Shelby wraps him in a hug and kisses his head. She's upset at him, actually she's fucking furious, but what is there to say fuck you when he's losing a baby? "She'll forgive you Mike. I think she will need some time however. I just hope Kurt can find her."
"He will Mom." Santana reassures her mother. "Those two are too much alike and that means they have the same hiding places."
Puck looks at his best friend angry as hell. That's why he's here for Tina he tells himself because Mike, Mike can go back to Japan for all he cares because those two are done; they are so incredibly done it's almost unbelievable.
Will, he knows what it's like to almost lose a baby and so he knows what the man he's come to love as a son is feeling. The man doesn't blame him he tells himself, so why can't he stand to look at him?
Brittany and Ella shake; one is eight months pregnant and the other is not even showing. The two women sink into their fears, let them wash over their minds and in their heads they are seeing blood and blue babies. It feels wrong, they both know, but yet the pair can't help getting sucked into the delusions they've created.
"Mr. Chang!" A doctor with Pepper hair and dark navy scrubs shouts into the slience.
Mike jumps from his seat and follows the doctor, wanting to know the news about his wife and unborn child.
"Is my wife okay?" He asks desperately, pleadingly, he just needs to know one way or another.
The doctor sighs but nods quickly. "Your wife had a placenta abruption. Placental abruption is a complication of pregnancy, wherein the placental lining has separated from the uterus of the mother. It is the most common cause of late pregnancy bleeding. We were able to save the baby Mr. Chang, he's got quite a fight ahead of him but he's made it. Tina Chang, your wife, has suffered a large amount of blood loss and her blood is not yet clotting so we're giving her transfusions. If the blood doesn't begging to clot we will have to perform a hysterectomy."
"Thank you." Mike whispers as tears stream down her face. "Can I see her?"
