CHAPTER 6: THE FIRST ULTRASOUND SCAN

CHAPTER 6: THE FIRST ULTRASOUND SCAN

Sam was holding Blaine's hand because he knew his best friend was nervous. It was the first ultrasound scan of the baby because the last one was only for knowing how long he had been pregnant.

Sam Knew that his best friend wanted his baby was healthy. Blaine had a special relationship with the baby who was growing up inside him and Sam had seen him caressing his belly with love, like he was caressing his baby. Even Sam wanted to know the baby, he loved Blaine even more everyday and he loved the baby too.

Dr. Smith was waiting for them and he smiled them before shaking hands. He was a really good doctor and really kind.

"Good morning, Blaine. How do you feel?"

"I feel sick and vomit every morning." Blaine said.

"It's fine, nothing to worry about. Did you feel pain? Did you bleed?"

"No, I didn't." Anderson breathed a sigh of relief, it was good news, wasn't it?

"O.K. We are going to start with the ultrasound scan."

Blaine lay down the stretcher and undid the buttons of his shirt, leaving his belly naked. As soon as he finished to get ready, Sam's hand was holding Blaine's again, supporting him, like every day since they became best friends in High School.

Dr. Smith put some gel on his belly. Blaine thought it was so cold like the last time, but maybe it was because he was so scared and anxious that time. However, this time he was scared for another reason. He was scared because he thought he could be a bad father.

"Here." Dr. Smith pointed the screen. "This is the head and this is the body."

"It's a boy or a girl?" Blaine asked excited because he was watching his baby for the first time. Sam looked at his friend and the screen alternately, without knowing if he was happy because of Blaine's smile or the baby.

"I can't tell you yet. We have to wait until the next ultrasound scan. Everything is fine, the baby is growing up healthy... There is nothing to worry about."

Blaine arrived home, he was pale and sweaty. Sam was worried when he saw him, so he stand up and run to him. He was in front of him even before Blaine took his coat off.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked.

"Nothing... Just... I'm fired." Blaine was really exhausted.

"What? Why?" Sam was confused.

"I felt sick after the last performance and I couldn't be on the stage at the end to hear the applause. My boss fired me because of that... Or my pregnancy... Whatever... It was sooner than I thought." Blaine sat down on the couch.

"You fell sick... Like the other times or it was different?" Sam put his hand on Blaine's forehead like he wanted to know if he had a temperature.

"I'm tired and It wasn't the first time. A few days ago I was in my dressing room and nobody knew. It's like the other times, nothing to worry about." Blaine smiled.

"I think it is a good thing, you know? You need to have a rest. Your job was a physical work and you need rest." Sam sat down next to him and hugged him

"I need money. Having a baby is very expensive and..."

"I have some and I can help you." Sam stopped him. "Your parents too. You are not alone..." They hugged again. "C'mon, let's have dinner."

They stand up and went to the kitchen. They wanted to forget what had happened and relax.

Sam arrived home and he thought his best friend would be in the kitchen or the living room, but he wasn't there. Blaine's coat and keys were there so he couldn't have gone anywhere. Sam walked to Blaine's bedroom and knocked the door. He could hear Blaine's voice letting him come in.

When he was in the room, he saw Blaine in the bed, with his nose red. He realised he was ill, so he sat down and put his hand on Blaine's forehead. It was damp and he understood why, he had a temperature.

"Did you go to a doctor?"

"I went with Rachel before she went to the theatre. It's just a flu, but I can't take any medicine because of the baby. The doctor told me what I can take."

"I'll make a soup and a honey-milk cup... Or do you want a hot lemon tea?" Sam cover Blaine up with the sheet and the blanket. He was worried, he wanted Blaine to get better soon.

"Tea, please." Blaine smiled, he was happy and thankful because Sam was even better than a best friend.

"Ok, I'll be back."

Kurt look at his phone surprised. He had just come home when he had a phone call and he couldn't believe who is it. It was the last person he would expect to do it. It wasn't they weren't friends, but they weren't really close. He doubted they even talked if Blaine didn't exist. Shouldn't he be happy because he was far away from Blaine and they were together 24/365?

"Hi, Sam! What can I do for you?" He tried to be nice, but he knew he wasn't.

"I need you to tell me how to cook a soup. Blaine has flue and I want to take care of him." Sam answered and Kurt rolled his eyes... Could he be more obvious? Kurt had never told Blaine it was for Sam why he had broken up with him. He Knew it... He just knew it... Maybe Blaine and Sam didn't know it but he knew it. He had broken up with Blaine because he knew their relationship had a finish date when Sam finally said he was bisexual. Sam loved Blaine, Blaine loved Sam and he wanted to keep his dignity.

"Why can't you call a restaurant?"

"I have to cook it... Would you help me?"

Sam came into Blaine's bedroom holding a tray with the soup, bread with butter, an isotonic drink, a hot lemon tea and an orange. He had tasted the soup and it was good, not the best in the world, but good enough.

Blaine smiled while he looked for a comfortable way to have dinner in bed. He tasted the soup and he frowned because it wasn't like the restaurant they usually went near their apartment.

"Did Kurt come to cook?"

"No, but it is his recipe, I asked him."

"Did you cook it?" Blaine was surprised.

"Yeah, I have to learn. There will be a baby soon and I'll cook for him when you can't."

"You won't... And it's too soon... The baby will eat formula for some months."

Blaine went on with his dinner. He was happy because Sam took care of him and, when he finished the dinner, he fell slept in Sam's arms, who was happy because he was with Blaine when he needed him the most.
