Hey! Georgia here with our story :3 Nothing much is happening this week, my best friend is moving today and it's the holidays so nothing is on our agenda. We could have gone to a camp but we can't because of exams. I'm hoping for merde weather on Thursday. Peace Out! TG101 :-D x

"...with Mercedes? It's been 8 weeks."

"I don't know, I've never seen her like this, I mean yeah, she deserves to be upset, her husband just died. But she needs some cheering up in her life."

Quinn, Sugar, Santana, Brittany and Tina were at Tina's apartment having a get-together. Rachel couldn't make it because she was going into labour and Finn was freaking out.

"But what can we do? We've tried everything." Santana explained, trying to keep an eye on Austin who was steadily toddling over towards where Paige and Evan where sleeping contentedly.

"Austin..." Brittany warned, making her way over to the 15 month old.

"Anyway, we need to cheer her up before her baby comes which is in 9 weeks. Why don't we organise a spa day for her? It'll help her relax?" Tina suggested, glancing at Evan who was now awake, cooing lightly.

"I do like the spa idea but there's only one problem."

"And that is..." Sugar inquired, the only person oblivious to the dilemma they were facing.

"Babysitting. Who's going to look after the kids?" Quinn asked, motioning towards Austin who was now poking Santana's cheek much to her annoyance and Brittany's amusement.

"Why not we get the guys to do it?" Tina mumbled, a spoon in her mouth.

"Hold up, I don't think so. I left Joe with Paige last week for one hour and withing ten minutes he was calling me. Tarzan can't survive without his Jane."

"Yeah, you have a point. Why don't we just drop them off at a daycare or ask our Moms to look after them?" Brittany suggested, trying to control Austin "I mean, Maribel only lives...20 minutes away."

"She may only live 20 minutes away but her and Dad are away for their anniversary and won't be back for 2 months."

"We could take care of them. I'm pretty sure babies like that sorta thing."

"I don't think so Brit." Quinn smiled, placing her hand on top of her friend's. "Then there'll be no point in doing that as it won't be a Mercedes and us day will it? It'll be a Mercedes, us and kids day and we have those all the time."

"Well, it would have to be the Dads then won't it?"

"Dude, why did we do this?" Finn asked,rocking an extremely crabby Robyn "I mean, Robyn's only...2 weeks old"

"Beats me. Guess the girls wanted a day out to make Mercedes feel better." Puck shrugged, holding a sleeping Paige.

"Anyway, it's only for a few hours, it's not like it's all day." Rory mumbled, frowning as he tried to pick up a beer, only to remember that he couldn't "Mercedes deserves this day"

"What actually happened?" Finn asked, looking straight at Rory.

Rory sighed, bending his head, wanting to forget.

"Rory come on, we're going to be late." Sam called from the car, ushering Rory to hurry up.

"Just a minute! Bye Sugar, call you later,love you!" Rory shouted from the bottom of the stairs to a vomiting Sugar in the bathroom.

"I swear Flannigan!..."

Rory shook his head and chuckled to himself. Pregnancy was not treating Sugar kindly and it wasn't going to give up without a fight.

"Love you too." he called back, grabbing his lunch from the kitchen. Heading towards the car, he shut the door behind him.

As he opened the car door, he heard the familiar warble of Toby Keith come from the radio.

"...they are nonforclosable, Freddie Mac can kiss my ass..."

"Hey Sam, what's up?"

"They sky, uh...pants, the usual."

"How's Mercedes doin'?" Rory asked, fumbling with the seat belt slightly "Isn't she like...20 weeks?"

"22" Sam corrected, backing out of the driveway "Yeah, she's 22 weeks and doing fine. The baby kicked last night for the first time." he grinned, not wanting to forget it.

"Oh aye? Sugar's still in the vomiting at any given moment stage."

"Just tell her...that it will pass and that's actually a good sign as it means the baby's healthy." Sam switched CDs and pressed play.

Rory shook his head, trying to rid of the memory but it wouldn't budge "We came to a stop light only Sam's breaks weren't working. He skidded straight through the red light,ended up on the wrong side and then there was a truck." he whispered,trying to keep it together before bursting into tears. "Why did it have to be him?" he choked, becoming increasingly distressed.

"Hey bud, it's okay" Finn said, patting his back awkwardly "It's alright, it's done now, it was an accident."

Rory sniffed, wiping his nose on his sleeve, feeling like he was in primary again "Yeah, it was an accident..."

"...so how's Rory adapting to his new life?" Quinn asked, gently blowing on her coffee,letting the warmth radiate her hands.

"He's finding it hard. Its definitely hard but we're slowly getting there." Sugar groaned in pleasure as hands dug into her back "Left a bit...left left left...perfect...this was definitely one of our better ideas."

"You said it" Mercedes purred,as knuckles kneeded into her lower back. That...was...heaven. Her back had been killing her for a few days and this was one of the days that it hurt for the worse. And for once the baby had decided to relax and stop kicking for a bit.

"We should totally do this more often." Santana sighed, letting the warm bubbling water engulf her body. "I propose that from today, on the last Saturday of every other month, we should have a girls day out where we'll let the Dads babysit and to make it fair, everyone will contribute 20 dollars. Agreed?"

"Agreed"

"...sorry about the music, Rory insisted that we get this before the baby was born."

"Toy Story Music Mania?" Quinn mused, looking at the CD.

"Yeah. He wouldn't leave until we left with it and for seven dollars it's pretty good. Oh! Can we listen to the last one? It's my favourite"

"Sure" Quinn smiled, switching onto the last track.

As the first few notes played, Mercedes got flash-backs of her and Sam dancing, baking, acting silly...and just generally enjoying their first year as husband and wife.

Don't you turn your back on me,
Don't you walk away.
Don't you tell me that I don't care,
Cause' I do.

Don't you tell me, I'm not the one,
Don't you tell me, I ain't no fun,
Just tell me you love me, like I love you.
You know you do.

When we're together,
Gray skies are clearer.
And I'll share them, till where I'm less depressed.
And it's sincerely, from the bottom of my heart,
I just can't take it when we're apart.

We belong together,
We belong together.
Yes, we do,
You'll be mine, forever.

We belong together,
We belong together.
Oh, it's true,
It's gonna stay this way, forever,
Me and you.

If I could really talk to you,
If I could find a way.
I'm not shy,
There's a whole lot I wanna say,
Oh of course there is!

Talk about friendship, and loyal things.
Talk about how much you mean to me.
And I'll promise, to always be by your side,
Whenever you need me.

The day I met you,
Was the luckiest day of my life.
And I bet you feel the same.
At least I hope you do.
So don't forget,
If the future should take you away,
That you'll aways be part of me.

We belong together,
We belong together.
Wait and see.
Gonna be this way, forever.

We belong together,
We belong together.
Honestly,
We'll go on this way, forever,
Me and you,
You and me.

"We'll get through this. Daddy may not be alive but it doesn't mean he's not here. He and I love you very much. I just hope that you grow up knowing that." Mercedes whispered to her stomach "I promise"
