Third Person's POV

"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Sam!" The whole Glee club sang as Sam walked in that day. He smiled and hugged everyone. He hugged Brenda last and hugged her.

"Thanks, you guys. How did you even know it was my birthday?" Everyone pointed at Brenda who grinned at him.

"Thanks," He kissed her. After everyone sat down, instead of writing on the board, Mr. Schue rolled a T.V. to the front of the room.

"You can come in now!" Mr. Schue called. Mary, Dwight, Stacy, Stevie, and Donna walked in. Dwight had a box in his arms.

"Um, what are y'all doing here?" Sam asked, confused. Mary smiled. Stacy ran over to Sam and jumped in his lap. Stevie ran over to Brenda and jumped in her lap.

"We, are showing some home videos of you, as you get older." Sam looked at her like, "awe hell nah." That's actually what he was thinking.

"Mom! Really?" He whined. She patted him on the head before sitting next to him. Mr. Schue cut the lights off and Dwight started the videos. The beginning was pictures of Sam when he was born, he had the tubes in his nose and everything. Some of the girls gasped when they saw how small he was. The next picture was of his mom and dad when they finally got to hold him for the first time. And everything was explained on the camera. It was actually a voice over of Sam telling the story.

"I was born a month and three weeks early. I wasn't breathing properly when I was born and the medication they had to give me cost a lot of money. My lungs weren't fully developed yet. The doctor told my parents that without it, I would be dead in two hours and they couldn't afford it. My grandparents were with my mom when she went into labor. They paid for the medication and I lived, obviously, and growing up I had asthma. Mom and dad didn't want me to play football because of it, since I hadn't had asthma for a long time I played anyway. When I was fourteen, I was hit in the chest during a game and I had to go to the emergency room. I could barely breathe," There was a sob and some of the girls sniffed, Kurt and Blaine too.

"I was in the hospital for two days.Mom and dad still don't want me to play football but I love it and I'm not gonna stop."

There was a video of Sam in his mom's arms. The girls awed at how cute he was.

"He had them lips then, too." Santana remarked. His little eyes opened and looked up at his mom. They were dark green, unlike the way they are today. The next video was him when he was about five months old. He was sitting up on his own and had started sucking on his thumb. His mom was sitting on the floor under him. He was sitting on the couch. She started making funny noises and faces to try to get him laugh.

"I swear Dwight, he smiled for the first time the other day!" Mary exclaimed. She turned to Sam who was still sucking his thumb looking at her. "Come on baby boy, show mommy that smile!" Sam looked at her. He took his thumb out of his mouth and started clapping. He still didn't smile though.

"We have been trying to get squirt over there to smile since Monday!" Dwight said and turned the camera towards him self. There was a little giggle in the background.

"He did it! Say squirt again!" Dwight turned the camera back on Sam who was just staring at Mary again.

"C'mon Squirt!" Sam smiled and giggled again. The girls awed again. The next video was when Sam said his first word.

"Hey Sammy! Say mama." Mary said.She looked at the camera smiling. "His first word was mama. He said it a few minutes ago. C'mon Sammy, say mama." Mary was holding him so she put him on the couch. He looked up at her and held his arms up and said,
