A Love Like Infinity

Chapter 15

The rest of our weekend was just as perfect as our date Friday night. Brittany came over everyday and even though we didn't really do anything except lounge around and watch movies, it was still perfect. Saturday we cooked together and that ended up in us both covered in the batter meant for our chicken. Being with Brittany allowed me to just BE. I didn't have to try hard, everything was just easy. I'm kind of regretting going back to school today because that means our perfect weekend has come to an end and we have to go back into the closet. I'm waiting outside of Brittany's house so I can drive her to school.
To Britt-Britt: I'm here
I get a response a few minutes later.
From Britt-Britt: Kk, I'll be right out xo
I smile and get out my car and walk to the passenger side. Brittany comes out of her house a few seconds later and runs down the steps and over to me.
"Hey San. I missed you..." Brittany blushes.
"I missed you too Britt." I smile at her and open the door for her so she can get in. Once she does, I close the door and jog back over to the drivers side and get in.
"Uhm San?" Brittany turns to look at me.
"Yeah?"
"Would it be okay if I... Uhm can I kiss you?" I freeze. What if someone sees us? I can't kiss her even though I really really want to. I sigh.
"Britt... I can't right now. It's not that I don't want to, I'm just still not ready. What if someone sees us?" I look into her eyes as I say this and see the disappointment in her eyes.
"It's okay, I get it. Sorry." I give her a small smile and start driving to school. We don't talk the whole way there and I start to regret not kissing her. I hate when I'm the cause of her sadness. I park the car and get out. Brittany follows suit and links our pinkies before we start walking up to the school.
"Are we okay, San?"
"What do you mean?" I stop walking and pull her to the side.
"Nothing, I was just wondering if you don't want there to be an 'us' anymore." Brittany looks down at the ground and I sigh.
"You know it's not like that. Of course I want there to be an us. I just can't deal with people knowing right now. I'm sorry. I love you Brittany, I really do but I just can't right now." I let go of her pinky and walk into the school.
For the first classes I don't speak to Brittany. I know I'm being a bitch but I really don't want to talk about this anymore. We have Biology now so I HAVE to talk to her. We have to do that stupid baby project. I walk into the classroom and take my seat next to Brittany. She avoids eye contact with me and I cringe. I must have really hurt her...
"Britt... I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you." I grab her chin gently and turn her face towards me.
"It's fine. I get it." Brittany finally looks at me so I let go of her chin.
"It's not okay." Brittany doesn't say anything back and Ms. Hernandez walks into the room.
"Okay class, today we're going to start our parenting project. Each couple will have to take care of their own baby. I will call each pair one by one to come get their baby." Ms. Hernandez gestures to the table full of fake babies in front of her. Most of the glee losers are in this class. It's one of the many places I make fun of them. We're supposed start glee this week, Mr. Schue wanted to make sure we settled in alright before starting the club this year. Quinn forced us to join last year because she was scared Rachel might steal Finn from her. Even though they just started talking this year (she's had a crush on him since he became quarterback). The first couple is Finn and Rachel (Quinn is definitely not gonna like this when she finds out). Then it's, Artie and Tina, Rory and Mercedes, and finally Joe and Sugar. Britt and I get Sebastian after them. Ugh, I still can't believe I have to take care of a fake baby for a whole week. We walk up to the table.
"How can you tell if the baby is a boy or girl? Me and San want a boy." Brittany looks at all the babies.
"Just pick any baby, it'll be a boy." Ms. Hernandez sighs and I glare at her. I pick up the baby that actually looks like a mix of us and grab Brittany's hand, dragging her away from the table. We sit down and I toss Sebastian on the table in front of us.
"San, you can't just throw our son around." Brittany picks him up and holds him like a baby.
"But I only wanted to do this project in the first place to make you be my friend again. We're friends so why do I have to actually take care of it?" Brittany glares at me.
"Him. Sebastian is a him. Not an it. If you don't want to help me take care of our son then I want a divorce." Brittany gives me a stern look and in five seconds we start laughing.
"Oh my god, we're like a troubled married couple!" I say after our laughter calms down.
"I know! But really, please try. I need a good grade to pass this class." Brittany lifts Sebastian to her shoulder and rubs his back.
"Okay, fine." Everyone has their babys so Ms. Hernandez starts talking again.
"Okay guys, I'm hoping everyone has their parents consent because each couple must live together for this assignment." Wait, since when did she mention this? It must've been when I was spacing out last week over my Brittany drama. We don't need the consent anyways, we always stay at each others houses.
"I'm gong to need the names of all the couples and their babys. Then you can start figuring out whatever you need to about the project, m'kay?" Everyone starts giving her their names and their child's names. Rachel and Finn named their baby Barbara Patty Hudson, Artie and Tina named their baby Laia Cohen-Chang Abrams, Rory and Mercedes named their baby Austin Nicholas Jones, and Joe and Sugar named their baby Isaiah David Motta. After the names were given everyone just split off and did their own things. But of course all the glee losers had to come over and talk about the assignment with us.
"I'm so excited about this project!" Rachel gushes. I roll my eyes.
"I would be too but... How the hell am I supposed to take care of a fake baby?!" Mercedes scoffs while Rory rocks Austin in his arms.
"It'll be easy, we can all have play dates!" Brittany says and I widen my eyes.
"There is no way in hell that I'm gonna let Sebastian anywhere near those filthy demon spawn!" I take Sebastian out of her arms and hold him against my chest.
"You're one to talk. Brittany, I'm pretty sure you just had a baby with Satan himself." Mercedes rolls her eyes.
"Well, I agree with Rachel. It could be fun." Joe says and we all roll our eyes.
"I just feel sorry for all of your babies, my little Isaiah is gonna be spoiled while your babies are poor and hungry." Sugar smirks and we all groan. I really can't stand her sometimes. All of sudden, Barbara starts crying in Rachel's arms.
"Oh hell no, they cry too?" I groan. Rachel frantically tries to stop her baby from crying.
"Here, give her to me." Finn takes the baby out of Rachel's arms and stars to rock her back and forth. He grabs a fake bottle and puts it in her mouth. Barbara's crying  calms down after a few moments.
"I read the packet she gave us. It tells us what to do if the baby starts to cry. She gave us all the stuff for them too, like this bottle." Finn shrugs as we all watch him feed her.
"This is so weird..." Rory states and we all agree. The bell rings and I hand Sebastian to Brittany and grab his baby bag with the instruction packet. We walk out of class and head to our next one. Ugh, this week is gonna suck. I can already tell. This is our last class before lunch and thankfully Sebastian doesn't cry during it. Brittany and I alternate rocking him. After class we walk into the cafeteria and Brittany makes me sit with the glee kids after they wave us over.
"Hey guys!" Brittany's greeting is returned enthusiastically. I see Quinn walk into the cafeteria and wave her over. She walks over and sits next to me.
"S, what the hell is that?" She points at Sebastian who's in my arms getting fed.
"My son. His name is Sebastian." I shrug before saying,
"Finn has one too. Well he has a daughter." Quinn raises an eyebrow and finally notices Finn with Barbara.
"Who's the mom?" Quinn glares at him.
"That would be me. We named her Barbara after my idol." Rachel speaks up. Quinn scoffs and rolls her eyes.
"We have to live with our spouse for the whole week!" I smirk knowing I'm instigating. Quinn's ears are practically blowing out smoke.
"You what?!"
"Uh-I... It's just a week babe." Finn stutters.
"Shut up. I don't care. I don't want you at her house!" Quinn slams her palm on the table.
"But I can't afford to fail this. I'm sorry, but I'm living with her this week."
"Ughh!" Quinn stands up and storms away leaving Finn, Rachel, Tina, Artie, Sugar, Puck, Kurt, Blaine, Joe, Mercedes, Rory, and Britt and I at the table.
"San, why did you do that?" Brittany whispers to me. I shrug.
"She was gonna find out anyway." This week might not be so bad after all. Quinn might finally kill Rachel.
