he frowns at the sight of her tears rolling down her cheeks. “hey, it’s okay. it’ll be okay,” sam assures her softly, repeating the words like a mantra. reaching over, he helps wipe away at a few tears with the pad of his thumb. when brittany confirms that she’s going to keep the baby, his gaze averts to her stomach. she has life growing inside of her, life that they created together. there’s a palpable sense of fear, but he can’t help but feel excited at the thought of becoming a father.
“you may not be asking, but i’m offering.” green eyes meet blue, familiar hues that he always found himself getting lost in. “i want to be there for both of you. and i know, like, women empowerment and everything and you could totally pull this off by yourself, but i want to help. i do. and i promise i’ll be, like, the coolest and most-loving dad ever. i’ll even take apart my lego death star set so i can rebuild it with this little booger one day.” it’s said lightheartedly with a goofy grin, hoping he could help ease her mind about the situation.
“i know you can do this by yourself, but you shouldn’t have to.” he wipes away at another tear before he cups her cheek, his thumb gently caressing her skin. “i care about you.” i still love you. “i want to do this with you.”
that's something brittany had never doubted about all of this from the moment she took the test and the moment she got it completely confirmed by her doctor. that sam evans would be the best dad. she's seen the way he was with his younger siblings. how he loved and cared for them. she’s seen the way he was with her own little sister. she's seen first hand in the years being his friend and the months they were together the kind of man he was. her faith in him was something that would never waver, even after going their separate ways.
" sam . . . i never had any doubt about your ability to be the best dad in the world. i always knew that one day you would make totally cute babies and you would pour your heart into loving and caring for them. no matter who that ended up being with. " but now one day was today and that was scaring her more than she'd care to admit. and maybe that was more than a little due to the fact that she finally felt she was starting to get her life together. only for this huge change to throw a curve ball in her plans. school was looking up since her transfer to nyu. life was finally starting to come together for the mckinley graduate. but as she's sitting there with sam, she's finally starting to realize that maybe while her life was coming together, this new addition to it could be her life's greatest part.
she leans into his touch, head turning so that her cheek presses against his hand. eyes close momentarily as more tears fall and when they open again, they meet his. " i care about you, too, sam . . . " the four words linger on the tip of her tongue, silently begging herself to be out in the open with her feelings. and she almost sets them free. but as she opens her mouth to say it, a single question takes its place. " are we really doing this ? "
