"You sure you can give me a ride home?" Sam asked Kurt. Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Of course I can, Sam. I just have to finish a test I missed super quick. It'll take fifteen minutes, tops. Alright?" Kurt said. Sam nodded.
"Thanks a bunch, man." Sam said. Kurt smiled and waved before walking off.
Sam opened his locker and cursed when he dropped his books, sighing.
"I'm totally gonna have to sit to pick these up." Sam said quietly, kicking at his books.
"Here." Sam looked up to see Rachel kneeling, picking up his textbooks.
"Rachel?" Sam asked, standing back when Rachel handed them to him.
"Are you really scared of me?" Rachel asked.
"Kind of. I'm almost eight months pregnant. I'm basically helpless." Sam said. Rachel laughed quietly.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I never resort to violence." Rachel said. "Most of the time."
"Rachel, you know I'm..." Sam started.
"Sorry. I know. I know you are, Sam. I know you wouldn't do this sort of thing on purpose." Rachel said. Sam blinked.
"Okay, did you poison something of mine?" Sam asked. Rachel sighed.
"Sam, I don't have anything to gain from hurting you, your children, or Finn." Rachel said. "I was mad for a long time. I was upset for a long time." Rachel smiled lightly. "I still think what happened was pretty…horrible."
"It was. I shouldn't have ever slept with him." Sam said. "Even if it was when you two were broken up."
"…What?" Rachel asked. Sam stared at her.
"What?" Sam asked.
"He didn't cheat on me?" Rachel asked.
"No! No, Rachel, I might have went far, but I wouldn't have gone that far. It happened in July." Sam said. Rachel stared.
"Wow, I completely convinced myself I wasn't upset anymore with you for something that didn't happen." Rachel said. "But Finn and you are still together."
"Yeah. So you can still be upset about that." Sam said.
"But I'm not." Rachel said.
"This is confusing." Sam said and smiled. Rachel nodded.
"Listen, Sam. I forgive you. I'm not really ready to be all, buddy-buddy again. But I forgive you." Rachel said.
"Are you serious?" Sam asked. Rachel nodded.
"Oh my God, Rachel. You have no idea..." Sam cleared his throat and took his books, putting them in his locker and wiping his eyes. "Thank you."
"And I'm not gonna lie, it kind of helps that you're miserable all the time." Rachel said. Sam nodded.
"I deserved that." Sam said. Kurt walked up slowly just then, looking between them.
"Is everything okay here?" Kurt asked cautiously.
"Just fine." Rachel said. "Nice talking to you, Sam." Rachel said before walking off.
"What just happened?" Kurt asked.
"I think me and Rachel are cool." Sam said. Kurt blinked.
"Alright, well let's leave before you two aren't cool." Kurt said and turned to walk towards the door of the school. "And we have to pick up Blaine, by the way."
"Fine with me." Sam said and pulled out his phone.
"We were thinking about doing some last minute Christmas shopping. Totally irresponsible but the rush is way better than black Friday." Kurt said.
"Cool." Sam said. Kurt looked back at Sam.
"Are you getting Finn anything for Christmas?" Kurt asked. Sam nodded.
"Yeah, working on it." Sam said. Kurt rolled his eyes.
"I'll never understand straight guys." Kurt said. Sam put his phone back in his sweatshirt pocket.
"Santana and Sierra are together." Sam said blankly. Kurt stopped.
"What?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah I guess they've been hanging out every day since that Christmas party." Sam said. Kurt continued walking.
"That was like two weeks ago." Kurt said. Sam shrugged.
"Every day is a lot of days." Sam said.
"Who told you that?" Kurt asked.
"Brody." Sam said.
"You're texting Brody?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, I text him all the time." Sam said and shrugged.
"You two dated." Kurt said.
"So?" Sam asked.
"Is Finn okay with that?" Kurt asked.
"Probably. Why does it matter?" Sam asked.
"Why does it matter?" Kurt repeated him. "Are you serious?"
"What?" Sam asked.
"Nothing. Just, never mind." Kurt stopped talking. "No, you know what? You need a day with me and Blaine."
"I can't walk for more than a half hour straight." Sam said.
"We'll buy you food." Kurt said. Sam sighed.
"Fine. Deal." Sam said.
"Sam, today was awesome, seriously, at work..." Finn was talking as he opened the door to his room, stopping when he saw Sam passed out in bed.
"We went shopping today. He's been out for an hour." Kurt whispered behind him. Finn looked at him.
"It's ten." Finn said. Kurt shrugged.
"He had fun. Don't worry." Kurt said. Finn laughed.
"Awesome." Finn said. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"He's been texting Brody." Kurt suddenly said. "It's not my business. But I think you should know. Cause he wasn't gonna tell you."
"..Okay. Does he want to like, be with him?" Finn asked.
"Well, no. But they're being pretty friendly." Kurt said.
"That's what friends do." Finn said.
"Friends. Not exes." Kurt said. Finn sighed.
"Look. He's eight months pregnant with my kids. I trust him, okay?" Finn said, walking into the room. "I'll see you tomorrow, Kurt."
"Suit yourself." Kurt said. Finn shut the door.
"Hey Sam." Finn whispered when he got into bed, poking at Sam's back. "Wake up."
Sam blinked awake slowly, yawning and turning over on his back, looking at Finn. "Hey."
"You're not mad that I woke you up?" Finn asked. Sam shook his head.
"No, not really." Sam said. "I had a nice day for once."
"Kurt told me." Finn said. "He also tried to convince me you're going after Brody."
"Oh, god. Him and Blaine went on this big trip about how important trust is and that I shouldn't be going behind your back and stuff." Sam said.
"But you're not. You're just texting him." Finn said.
"Exactly." Sam said.
"Sometimes I'm really glad we're not gay." Finn said. Sam looked over at him and laughed.
"Hey, we should open that envelope." Sam said. Finn reached over Sam and grabbed it from his nightstand.
"I've totally been waiting for you to say that. I wasn't gonna make it to Christmas like Kurt wanted." Finn said.
"It's only four more days." Sam said.
"You really wanna wait?" Finn asked.
"Hell no. I'm just saying." Sam said. Finn laughed.
"Okay, close your eyes." Finn said. Sam closed his eyes, and so did Finn.
"I can't open this with my eyes closed." Finn said. Sam opened his eyes and sighed, taking it from him and opening the envelope.
"Holy shit." Sam said. Finn opened his eyes.
"What?" Finn looked over at the paper, then looked at Sam.
"Holy shit." Finn said.
