I Give You the Morning
[3/3]
Rachel woke up alone in the bed sometime after noon, she normally didn’t sleep this long but after the night that she had shared with Sam she made an exception, she had deserved to sleep a bit longer than normally, and she had been awake earlier she had just gotten back to sleep instead of going up.
Rachel took a hold of the sheet that had covered her when she was sleeping, she held the sheet close to her body, as she sat up she looked around trying to find something that she could wear when she got up to look for Sam.
She saw the flannel button up shirt that Sam had left for her on the bed, she took it and she put it on an she could feel the scent that was Sam, and she smiled to herself, it was like Sam had known what she would need when she woke up.
////
Sam was smiling to himself, there was no chance to whip the smile of his lips, it had all been as great as he could have imagine that it could be if not better.
Now all he was going to do was to surprise Rachel with some lunch in bed, she had been sleeping when he had woken up the second time.
Rachel had a smile gracing her lips when she saw in the kitchen, Sam was dancing and humming along to a song that was playing on the radio, he truly was a dork, her dork.
“Good morning,” Rachel said as she walked up behind him and she let her fingers grace his back, Sam turned around and pulled Rachel closer without letting go of the spatula that he was holding, when she was about to walk to the table and sit down, waiting for Sam to bring her breakfast or lunch, whatever it was that he was making.
“Morning to you too,” Sam said and he placed a kiss on the side of her mouth before he let her go so that she could sit down, “lunch, breakfast or whatever you want to call it will be done and served in a couple of minutes.”
////
The rest of the weekend had passed by and there hadn’t been any awkward run into with parents for Sam but he had a feeling that there might be some kind of awkwardness when he and the rest of his family were going to have some kind if Christmas dinner with the Berrys’
////
The only thing that had been a bit uncomfortable so far had been the Glee meeting that same Monday, Sam had no idea in how to fact Puck that would be almost as hard as facing both of Rachel’s fathers but they might not ask him the same questions.
“You and I need to talk,” Sam stopped in his tracks when he heard Puck’s vice and in that moment Sam knew that Puck knew.
“About what?” Sam managed to stutter out, Puck just looked at him with his jaws clenched together and he was shaking his head.
“You know what we are going to talk about?” Sam nodded his head, this was how things had been for a while, and well ever since Puck had decided that he was going to, to look out for his fellow Jew.
“Maybe we could do it later,” Sam said and there was someone around the corner that had heard parts of Sam’s and Puck’s conversation.
////
“Someone needs to talk to Rachel.”
“What about Rachel?” Finn asked as he sat down in the choirroom and looked at his stepbrother, Kurt.
“I overheard Sam telling Puck that they could do it later,” Kurt said and he was shaking his head, he couldn’t believe that both Sam and Puck would do something like that towards Rachel.
“I knew it,” Artie said and looked between all if the boys, Finn nodded his head, he didn’t really understand what they boy in the wheelchair meant but he agreed with him.
“Why?”
“Puck asked when Sam auditioned how many balls he could fit in his mouth,” Artie explained to those who didn’t know what he was talking about.
“Just listen to what you are saying,” Tina said and looked at the boys, “it makes no sense at all.”
“Tina is right,” Mike said, it all sounded a bit too farfetched when they thought about it, and besides that Sam and Rachel were really cute together, “maybe they are going to talk about some kind of present for Rachel and Sam didn’t want everyone to know.”
“But you didn’t hear them,” Kurt exclaimed, he was sure of what he had heard.
“You don’t think that you’re just missing Blaine?” Mercedes asked and looked at her best friend.
“No!” Kurt screamed, Rachel came walking in to the room and she was having a discussion with Mr. Schue and from the look of it they weren’t agreeing, that was nothing out of the ordinary but no one could really know what it was this time.
“Rachel, just take a seat,” Mr. Schuester said, “It’s already decided.”
“What’s decided?” Sam asked as he and Puck came walking in together and both Sam and Puck were receiving glares from almost every Glee club member. Rachel was smiling at Sam and he was doing the same, and that was all it took for the short brunette to forget all about what it was that she and Mr. Schue was disagreeing on.
“I had a talk with Figgins,” Mr. Schue said and looked at the members of New Directions, “and he has agreed on that we can go caroling this year too.”
“You do remember last year?” Puck asked, and he sat down, the rest of the team nodded agreeing with Puck, and that was what it took for a couple of them to realize what it was that Rachel and Mr. Schue had argued about.
“We are doing it,” Mr. Schue said and he looked at the students.
“That’s what she said,” Brittany said and everyone turned to her and looked at her, Rachel had thought that a comment like that would maybe come from Puck and Santana as a possibility but not Brittany. “Did I say it wrong?” Brittany asked and turned to Santana.
“No it was right,” Santana said and she was shaking her head.
Sam raised his hand waiting for Mr. Schue to see his hand, and that Sam had something to say but it appeared that the teacher was focused on something else, or maybe a bit chocked from what Brittany had said but it wasn’t something bad or that surprising. The ditsy blonde had used an expression right and she was a senior after all, truthfully all of the students were seniors, well most of them, and they were in High School, of course they could find sexual innuendos in everything that was said but some of them didn’t let everyone know that it was an innuendo there, he needed to stop this.
“Mr. Schue,” Sam said and the teacher looked at him.
“Yes, Sam,” their teacher said, “you wanted to say something.”
“Well,” Sam said, now he was getting nervous, what if Rachel wouldn’t like this, he knew from earlier that she loved when he dedicated songs to her but this time it was different, “I have a song that I would like to sing.”
“Great, why don’t you do that,” Mr. Schuester said and he took a seat with the rest of the group.
Sam stood in front of all of them, he had his guitar hanging at his side and he looked at Rachel, and he gave her a smile, and Rachel was returning the smile and in that moment Sam knew, that he could do this without a doubt and Rachel would love it just as much as the other performances he had dedicated to her.
“I wish I knew how to write a song,” Sam said and looked down, “because if I did then I would have tried and write something like this,” Sam was keeping his eyes locked with Rachel the whole time since he had looked up, “so I wanna dedicate this song to my amazing girlfriend, Rachel,” the Glee club members were looking from Sam to Rachel and then back to Sam, if what Kurt had said was true then this was strange for sure, “I love you and I hope that you will like this song.”
Rachel was smiling, and she could feel how the tears in her eyes were staring to make their present known, and Sam hadn’t even started to sing yet but she had heard some of the accords, and she recognized it from Saturday morning, and that was how Rachel knew that she was going to cry. And she knew that she wouldn’t find another boy that was like Sam and she didn’t want to try and find someone else either.
The more that Rachel heard of the song the more sure she got that this had been the same song that Sam had played when they were laying in bed together on Saturday morning, but no one had to know that.
“Close beneath our window sill the Earth is humming like an eager Christmas child the day is coming,” Sam looked at his girlfriend as he stood in front of all of them singing to her and for Sam there was no one else but Rachel in the room, “Listen to the morning song it’s singing,” it was just Rachel and him still, just the two of them and the words that he was singing and the notes that he was playing, everyone else was fading even more into the background, and Rachel got clearer and clearer, “I think I’ll wake you now and hold you,” it was like the universe were trying to tell him something and he did want to hear it, Sam wasn’t just sure what it was going to be, if he was honest with himself he knew what this was all about but it was too soon but one day, one day. “behold, I give you the morning, hm, I give you the day,” one day he was going to do just this, he was going to give Rachel every single one of his days if she would take them.
Sam walked a couple of steps so that he was standing right in front of Rachel, he let go of his guitar, it rested against his back. The blonde boy took one of his girlfriend’s hands between his own, he was now kneeling in front of her, he could hear some of his friends whisper but he didn’t care about what they were saying, he knew what he wanted and that was all that mattered right now, and of course what Rachel wanted.
“like an antique ballroom fan your eyelids flutter,” Sam was singing acapella right now, and he wanted to let Rachel all the feelings that he was feeling, “Sunlight streams across your eyes through open shutter,” Sam raised his hands and moved a lock of her hair that was covering one of her eyes, he placed the lock behind her ear.
Rachel blinked, it was almost like her eyes were fluttering just like they had done when she had woken up with Sam, she was smiling at him as she listened to what it was that he was singing, “Now I think you’re ready for the journey,” Sam never let go of her hand while he was singing, he never looked away and this was one of Rachel’s favorite songs, well at least when it came to songs that Sam had dedicated to her, and in this moment Rachel was happy about what had happened about a year ago, when Finn had broken up with her, think back to it as she heard Sam sing to her, breaking up with her might have been the best thing that Finn had done in their whole relationship.
“I think I’ll wake you now and hold you,” Rachel could feel how Sam caressed her cheek as he sung for her, the look in his eyes were, Rachel couldn’t put words towards it was but she loved the look he was giving her and no one could take that away from her.
”tell you again the things I told you,” Rachel saw Sam standing up again, but he still held on to her hand, when he stood up, he almost pulled her with him but before that happened he looked Rachel in the eyes and she nodded, and the two of them stood together looking the other one in the eyes.
“Behold, I give you the morning, hm, I give you the day,” Sam breathed the last sentence of the song, it was almost no audible for the rest of the New Directions to hear, Sam had his forehead leaning against Rachel’s and he whispered to her, “I love you.”
The song was over and the whole Glee club gave Sam around of applause or two, Rachel gave him a kiss, the two of them walked back to their seats, and they had their hands clasped together.
Mr. Schue was back in front of the group and talking, Santana who sat in the back was now studying what was going on between Sam and Rachel, and not even a minute in, she realized what had happened, she was smirking to herself this was going to be fun, and she now knew what it was that Sam and Puck was going to do later, and it was talking but Hummel had been right about the subject more or less, not just the persons that it involved. Santana turned to Puck and raised an eyebrow and gave him a smirk, the mohawked boy shook his head no.
“As I said,” Mr. Schue said as he looked at the students, “you are all going to caroling this year too.”
No one of the members said anything, they were all still so captured from what Sam had done for Rachel, and trying to figure out what really had happened, so none of them were really listening to what the teacher was saying and they therefor agreed to what it was that Mr. Schuester had said.
////
Wednesday was the day that the New Directions where going to start their caroling, it would go from classroom to classroom, and just like they year before they were more or less forced out of the classrooms they visited.
“I knew this would happen,” Rachel said as she sat down with Sam and the “original” Glee club members.
“We need to figure out what to do.”
“So how are we going to do that?” Sam asked as he felt Rachel resting her head on his shoulder.
Rachel was about to answer Sam’s question when she saw that Finn was standing at the end of the table screaming at Rachel and at Sam too.
“Is it true?” He yelled, almost the entire cafeteria where they were sitting turned their heads at them, “just tell me if it’s true!”
“If what is true?” Rachel asked, and got up and she placed one of her hands on Finn’s arm, he shrugged her hand away.
“You don’t touch me,” Finn said and then he pushed her away, Rachel took a couple of steps back just so that she could get her balance back. Sam was fast on his feet as soon as he had seen Finn shove Rachel.
“You don’t get to touch my girlfriend,” Sam said as he pushed both of his hands against Finn’s chest, the rest of the table looked at Sam and Finn trying to figure out what was going on between them, “and you don’t talk to her like that.”
“Tell me if it’s true?” Finn yelled and he pushed Sam back, “and you can’t tell me what to do.”
“You don’t have a say about me or my relationship with Rachel,” Sam said and he walked closer to Finn, “so why don’t you just leave us alone and mind your own business.”
“I want to know if it’s true,” Finn said and he had calmed down a little but there were still traces of something that made him angry, he was now looking at Rachel.
“If what is true?” Rachel asked once again, if Finn wanted to know if something was true, then he had to ask her better than that, there were a lot of things that were true how would she know what it was that he wanted to know.
“Did you sleep with him?” Finn asked and pointed at Sam who was now standing behind Rachel with his arms around her waist and Sam’s hands were clasped together resting on Rachel’s stomach.
“That is none of your business,” Rachel said as she looked at Finn trying to make him understand that this was nothing that they were going to talk about.
“Just answer the damn question; did you let him take your virginity?” Finn asked, he was talking really loud so most of the people that were in the cafeteria could hear them, and Finn hadn’t taken the hint that Rachel had given him earlier.
“Hey!” Sam said, he was getting tiered of this feel sorry for me act that Finn tried to put on and from what he could tell so was some of their friends too.
“Maybe you should leave,” Tina said and she looked at Finn.
“Answer me!” Finn yelled, “Did you sleep with him?”
“Fine, do you really want to know?” Rachel asked and took one step closer to Finn, and the tall boy nodded his head, “then I’ll answer you, yes.”
“So you just let him take your virginity like that?” Finn yelled as he looked straight at Rachel and then he turned to Sam.
“I didn’t let him take anything,” Rachel said and glared at Finn, “if anything, I gave him my virginity.”
“it was supposed to be me.” Finn yelled and he kicked a chair that was next to him, that made some of them jump, “and what happened to waiting until you were 25?”
“I am the one that decides on what I am going to do with my own body,” Rachel said and she took Sam’s hand and intertwined their fingers And Sam was dragging the two of them away, when Rachel turned around and gave Finn a glare before she said, “If you will excuse us we need to find the closest janitor closet so that we can have a quickie before the next class.” Sam looked at Rachel and she just shook her head, he had understood what she wanted to do, and that was to make a point.
////
“Are you okay?” Sam asked as he and Rachel were laying together on the couch in the Berry livingroom.
“Yes,” Rachel answered and she snuggled closer to Sam. “I just don’t know why he was reacting that way.”
“Don’t you waste your time on Finn,” Sam said and placed a kiss on the side of Rachel’s head, “he has nothing to do with you or our relationship and if he don’t know that then I’ll make sure that he will know when I’m done.”
“Don’t do anything stupid,” Rachel said and moved her head so that it was resting in the crook of Sam’s neck.
“I’m not going to do anything,” Sam told her, Rachel looked at him with skeptical eyes, “I’ll ask Puck.”
“that is stupid too,” Rachel said and turned around so that he now was facing Sam, “I just want to know how he found out, I mean I didn’t tell anyone,” she locked her eyes with Sam’s, “did you tell anyone?”
“No, I swear on my Avatar collection,” Sam said and smiled at her, “but maybe they found out for themselves.”
“We didn’t do anything different,” Rachel said and she tried to figure out what it was that was different from before but she couldn’t find anything.
“maybe it was the song,” Sam suggested, “or someone could tell and told the rest of them, I mean I pretty sure that Puck knew,” Rachel wanted to cry, she didn’t want to believe that Noah would tell anyone if he knew.
“And then Santana would probably have figured it out after the song,” Sam said as he remembered the Latina’s face when she had left the choirroom.
“Of course she would know,” Rachel said and snuggled closer to Sam, “and then she told Finn or someone else who told him and now everything is ruined.”
“Nothing is ruined,” Sam said and held Rachel as close as he could, “I still love you and nothing has changed.”
“Are you sure of that?” Rachel asked in a small voice as she rested her head against his chest listening to his heartbeat with a steady rhythm.
“No,” Sam said and tilted her head up so that he could give her a kiss and when they broke the kiss Rachel looked at him with sad eyes, “I think that I love you even more than I did before.”

[3/3]
Rachel woke up alone in the bed sometime after noon, she normally didn’t sleep this long but after the night that she had shared with Sam she made an exception, she had deserved to sleep a bit longer than normally, and she had been awake earlier she had just gotten back to sleep instead of going up.
Rachel took a hold of the sheet that had covered her when she was sleeping, she held the sheet close to her body, as she sat up she looked around trying to find something that she could wear when she got up to look for Sam.

Rachel had a smile gracing her lips when she saw in the kitchen, Sam was dancing and humming along to a song that was playing on the radio, he truly was a dork, her dork.
“Good morning,” Rachel said as she walked up behind him and she let her fingers grace his back, Sam turned around and pulled Rachel closer without letting go of the spatula that he was holding, when she was about to walk to the table and sit down, waiting for Sam to bring her breakfast or lunch, whatever it was that he was making.

“Maybe you should leave,” Tina said and she looked at Finn.
“Answer me!” Finn yelled, “Did you sleep with him?”
“Fine, do you really want to know?” Rachel asked and took one step closer to Finn, and the tall boy nodded his head, “then I’ll answer you, yes.”
“So you just let him take your virginity like that?” Finn yelled as he looked straight at Rachel and then he turned to Sam.
“I didn’t let him take anything,” Rachel said and glared at Finn, “if anything, I gave him my virginity.”
“it was supposed to be me.” Finn yelled and he kicked a chair that was next to him, that made some of them jump, “and what happened to waiting until you were 25?”
“I am the one that decides on what I am going to do with my own body,” Rachel said and she took Sam’s hand and intertwined their fingers And Sam was dragging the two of them away, when Rachel turned around and gave Finn a glare before she said, “If you will excuse us we need to find the closest janitor closet so that we can have a quickie before the next class.” Sam looked at Rachel and she just shook her head, he had understood what she wanted to do, and that was to make a point.

“Are you okay?” Sam asked as he and Rachel were laying together on the couch in the Berry livingroom.
“Yes,” Rachel answered and she snuggled closer to Sam. “I just don’t know why he was reacting that way.”
“Don’t you waste your time on Finn,” Sam said and placed a kiss on the side of Rachel’s head, “he has nothing to do with you or our relationship and if he don’t know that then I’ll make sure that he will know when I’m done.”
“Don’t do anything stupid,” Rachel said and moved her head so that it was resting in the crook of Sam’s neck.
“I’m not going to do anything,” Sam told her, Rachel looked at him with skeptical eyes, “I’ll ask Puck.”
“that is stupid too,” Rachel said and turned around so that he now was facing Sam, “I just want to know how he found out, I mean I didn’t tell anyone,” she locked her eyes with Sam’s, “did you tell anyone?”
“No, I swear on my Avatar collection,” Sam said and smiled at her, “but maybe they found out for themselves.”
“We didn’t do anything different,” Rachel said and she tried to figure out what it was that was different from before but she couldn’t find anything.
“maybe it was the song,” Sam suggested, “or someone could tell and told the rest of them, I mean I pretty sure that Puck knew,” Rachel wanted to cry, she didn’t want to believe that Noah would tell anyone if he knew.
“And then Santana would probably have figured it out after the song,” Sam said as he remembered the Latina’s face when she had left the choirroom.
“Of course she would know,” Rachel said and snuggled closer to Sam, “and then she told Finn or someone else who told him and now everything is ruined.”
“Nothing is ruined,” Sam said and held Rachel as close as he could, “I still love you and nothing has changed.”
“Are you sure of that?” Rachel asked in a small voice as she rested her head against his chest listening to his heartbeat with a steady rhythm.
“No,” Sam said and tilted her head up so that he could give her a kiss and when they broke the kiss Rachel looked at him with sad eyes, “I think that I love you even more than I did before.”
THE END!
