The Purple Piano Project

Being 16 was a fucking nightmare.

Not only was Jayden Berry the "slut" who had to walk into school four months pregnant, but the rumor mill was up and running since Sam Evans had yet to be confirmed as the dad. She had meant to tell him, but then he had his summer fling with Mercedes and moved away before she had the chance.

The first day back was awful. Even with Brittany's letterman on to try and hide her baby bump, it was no use since the news spread like wildfire and everyone knew.

Everyone except for Sam, of course.

It was hard explaining to her dads how she had hooked up with him before she started dating Brittany, and since they had no idea about any of the other things that had happened that year, they assumed that it was him that took her virginity.

They had no clue about all the poly drama happening behind the scenes that led to that moment – a moment that Jayden considered to be the biggest mistake of her life.

But the biggest regret of her life would've been getting an abortion – which was why she had a meltdown when Sue pretended to be her dad and took her to a clinic to get one. She had considered it, and she was so close to going through with it.

But she couldn't.

Everything happens for a reason.

The whole thing seemed to bring her, Santana, and Brittany together, and the Latina finally agreed to be in a relationship with them.

In secret.

It was weird keeping a poly relationship private, and it killed Brittany that she was only allowed to be out and proud with Jayden. But both girl's understood that Santana wasn't ready yet, and they were willing to wait as long as it took.

Jayden laid on her bed with her head in Santana's lap after her doctor's appointment that afternoon. She held up the new ultrasound, comparing it to the earlier ones that the older girls were holding.

"It's a tiny human," Jayden whispered.

"You're a tiny human," Brittany chuckled and kissed her cheek.

"Have you thought about what you're gonna do yet?" Santana asked.

"The more I watch him grow, the more I wanna keep him," Jayden mumbled, shutting her eyes tight to keep from crying. "But...I'm just a kid...How am I supposed to raise a baby? I mean, that's why Quinn gave up hers right?"

"It's a little more complicated than that," Santana sighed.

"Yahweh, I can't just abandon him," Jayden whispered as she sat up and ran a hand through her hair. "I don't want him thinking that his mom didn't want him...Because I do...so bad...But I'm torn."

"You don't have to make a decision, yet, Guppy," Brittany said gently. She put a comforting arm around Jayden, who leaned into her side and rested her head on her shoulder.

"Is this about your mom?" Santana asked. "Do you...Do you think that she abandoned you?"

"I have no fucking clue who she even is," Jayden said, her voice breaking.

"I'm sorry, I...I shouldn't have brought this up," Santana mumbled.

"I fucking hate crying," the junior mumbled, using the sleeve of Brittany's letterman to wipe her tears away. "Stupid hormones."

"I'm gonna track down Sam and drag his ass back here, because this is fucking ridiculous."

"Are you mad?" Jayden asked, choking out a small sob as she looked at Santana.
