So here's the sequel that I promised you all :) Hopefully you'll enjoy it just as much as you enjoyed Mended by You. We're still focusing on the Anderson's (Rachel, Blaine and Amy) with appearances from some of your favourite Gleeks :D
Oh, and I know that this chapter is short, especially to the length of my usual chapters, but I think they'll get longer, this is just the opener after all.

Please review and enjoy x


"Hey Blaine, can you make sure that you come straight home after work tonight?"

"Uh yeah, sure thing Rachel."

"Great, love you!"

"Love you to!"


"Blaine, it's really important that you come straight home tonight, please don't be late!"

"I promise I'll come straight home, is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine, I'll see you later, love you!"


Blaine ended the call and placed his phone in his desk draw, Rachel had been calling him all day, urging him to come straight home. Of course he was concerned, his first clue had been when she had called someone in to sub her classes for the day. Rachel never skipped a day of work she loved her work. But she'd packed him off to work that morning and assured him that everything was fine. Needless to say, Blaine wasn't entirely convinced.

"Was that Rachel again?" Molly asked when she walked back into the classroom, carrying two mugs of coffee, Blaine sighed and gratefully took one of the mugs from her.

"She hardly ever calls you at work, is she okay?" Molly asked, perching on the edge of Blaine's desk.

"Well she said that everything's fine, but you know Rachel," he smiled fondly, thinking about how his wife had a tendency to overdramatize things, but he knew that it was one of the many qualities that he loved about her, "So anyway, what do you have planned for tonight?"

"Sam's working late at the comic book store," Molly shrugged, as she sipped at her drink, "I guess I'll be home alone, it's all good though. There's a new show that starts tonight, that I know Sam won't want to watch anyway." Blaine nodded and smiled at her. Molly and Sam had really hit it off at the wedding two years ago, and when Sam moved to New York to try and start a new business, he had practically begged Blaine for her number. They hadn't really looked back since, with Sam moving out of his small one bedroom apartment and into Molly's apartment within a couple of months.

The rest of the afternoon flew by in a blur, despite Blaine desperately trying to concentrate on the children in the classroom, somehow his thoughts ended up being taken over by Rachel and whatever it was that had got her so panicked. Molly had tried to help as much as she could, but even she couldn't stop Blaine from zoning out mid-conversation. When the bell rang at the end of the day, it came as no surprise to her that Blaine packed up his things in record time and followed his class out of the school. She just watched him with an amused expression, desperately hoping that whatever it was that Rachel had to tell him wasn't going to be too bad. She didn't think she could cope with a depressed Blaine.


"Blaine, have you left work yet?"

"Rachel, I'm on the subway, I'll be home in the next half hour, what's the big emergency?"

"Just get here as soon as you can!"


Rachel paced nervously across the lounge as she anxiously waited for Blaine to come home. Today had been one of the longest days of her life, and she'd had her fair share of them in her lifetime. Life had been going pretty well for the Anderson's. Rachel had finished college and finally received her teaching diploma. During her final year of training, she had been placed at a local school, and had helped to lift the school's flailing glee club from the ground; they had offered her a position as soon as she had qualified. She had been happily teaching in the school's music programme ever since. Now well into her second year of teaching she was looking forward to leading her Glee club to victory once again.

"Rachel?" Rachel jumped from the sofa and literally ran towards the front door, clasping Blaine's hand and tugging him towards their bedroom, "Rachel, what's going on?" Blaine asked as she slammed the door firmly behind them. She wasn't entirely sure why, Amy was having dinner at a friends house this evening, so they were alone.

"Rachel, are you going to talk to me?" Blaine sighed, Rachel sighed and pointed to their bed. Blaine nodded and perched on the edge of the bed.

"Okay, I'm sitting down now, what's the matter?"

Rachel bit down on her lip, and glanced at Blaine, taking in the concern on his face.

"Well the thing is…" she paused and paced across the room, "I don't even know if we can afford this," she turned around and stared at him, "I've only been teaching for a year Blaine, a year!" she was shrieking now and Blaine slowly got to his feet and clasped his hands securely around hers, causing her to stop and look at him. She never knew how he was able to it, but no matter how stressed she was, Blaine was always the one that was able to calm her down by the simplest touch or expression.

"Rachel, whatever has happened, I'm sure we can work through it," he told her calmly, "But please, you need to talk to me, so I can help to make it better." Rachel sighed and nodded, gently pulling her hands out of his grasp and turning to walk into their bathroom. Blaine stared at her with a confused expression and sunk back down onto their bed. Rachel emerged a couple of minutes later, holding something that looked like a pregnancy test; Blaine sat up straight and stared at her.

"Here," she said, handing not one, but four pregnancy tests to him. His eyes widened as he stared at her in disbelief, before his eyes returned to the tests in his hand, he checked them one by one, each one reading the same thing – Pregnant. Blaine gulped and eventually lifted his head, allowing his eyes to meet hers.

"Why – why didn't you tell me?" he said quietly.

"I panicked," Rachel shrugged, wrapping her arms around herself, "I just wanted to be sure, I didn't want to build any hopes up. After last time I…" she was silenced by Blaine's lips crashing onto hers. She smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around him as her lifted her off the ground and spun her around. Rachel giggled as Blaine lay down on the bed, pulling her down on top of him.

"You're not mad?" she asked, her eyes locking with his, Blaine shook his head and kissed her gently.

"How could I be mad? We're having a baby, Rachel!" Rachel smiled and rested her head against his chest; he placed his arm around her, and pulled her closer to him.

"How are we going to afford another child Blaine?" she asked quietly, Blaine squeezed her gently and kissed the top of her head.

"Rachel, we've been together for four years, married for two of them, we both have pretty well paid jobs, we're not big spenders, we can do this!" Rachel nodded at his assurance. In truth, Rachel was happy that she was going to mother again, she knew that her circumstances were different this time around, and although this child wasn't planned, she was much more secure than what she was when she fell pregnant with Amy all those years ago. She was happily married, they were both working, had a home of their own. It was the shock of it all that had caught her off guard, when she first picked up the symptoms she was taken back to first discovering she was pregnant at the age of 18 and it scared her. But now lying in Blaine's arms, she felt like they could conquer anything.

"I'm going to be daddy, again." Blaine whispered

"Only this time you'll be here for the entire thing," Rachel smiled, nestling her head against his chest.

"I love you so much." Blaine whispered, "I'm so happy!"

"I love you to," Rachel grinned, as he moved his hand against over her shirt to Rachel's stomach where the two of them imagined their baby to lying. Rachel placed her hand on top of his and smiled at him. They could do this; they'd done a pretty good job with Amy so far.

They both lay in a quiet embrace, as they both considered how their lives would be changing again in the next nine months. Would they need to move? Although their apartment was a decent size, it still only had two bedrooms. Blaine smiled as he pictured a pregnant Rachel, he hadn't been around when she was pregnant with Amy, was she a crazy pregnant woman? They both had so much to look forward to.

"Blaine, we've got such a lot to think about," Rachel stated, lifting her eyes slightly to meet his, he shook his head and brought her hand to his lips.

"Let's just enjoy this, for tonight. We'll tackle everything else when the time comes, okay?" Rachel nodded and smiled, as she stomach grumbled loudly.

"Have you eaten?" he asked her, sitting up.

"With everything going on, I'd kind of forgotten." Rachel shrugged, "I'll start preparing dinner, it's just the two of us tonight, Amy's at a friend's house." She moved to get off the bed but Blaine clasped her wrist and she turned back to face him. He smiled at her and she gave him a quizzical look.

"What?" she grinned, he reached across the bed and kissed her gently, placing his hand at the back of her head.

"I love you," he whispered, barely pulling away. "Now, go call your dad's and I'll cook. Hell, I'll need something to eat before I call my mom, she's been waiting for this day since she gave birth to me!" Rachel giggled and nodded as Blaine kissed the top of her head one more time before walking into the kitchen with a spring in his step and whistling a happy tune. Rachel watched him leave and felt the excitement bubbling from inside of her. She reached across the bed and picked up her cell phone and dialled the number, waiting for the hysteria that she was sure awaited her on the other end of the line. But this once she didn't mind, she knew how much they loved Amy and had been waiting not to patiently, for the sound of baby feet ever since she had married Blaine.

Rachel heard her dad, Hiram, answer the phone and grinning like an excited schoolgirl, she began to speak.


So there we go, baby Anderson is on the way :D Let me know what you think!
