This is the newest thought from my brain. I hope you enjoy it. It is kind of different, or at least I hope it is. Lately I just can't get out of the same old, same old thing. I hope you enjoy it and will leave your thoughts and any ideas you may have on where the story could go. Thank you for reading my stories. I hope you enjoy! :)

Rachel was holding her baby girl in her arms. The little girl was cooing and making those cute little baby noises that Rachel had come to love so much. The little girl was just two months old and Rachel couldn't picture her life without her already. No one would have pictured Rachel Berry as yet another statistic. That was never anything she had seen for herself either, but she had come to terms with the fact that things happen for a reason, even if they are unexpected.

Rachel was walking through the grocery store and said, "Hey sweet pea. Mommy loves you so much. Let's get you some diapers and a new outfit or two. Then we will have some mommy/daughter time. I know how much we love that. Well, at least mommy loves it. Hopefully you will enjoy it when you get older. It is all going to be okay. I know it is going to be hard for us for a while, but mommy promises to take the best care of you that she can. There are going to be times that you don't like me and we get in fights, but I want you to know that you will always have me. I'm not going anywhere. You are stuck with me and I hope that you are okay with it. We don't need your daddy. We are in New York and we have so much ahead of us. Let's get you home. It's almost nap time for the world's cutest baby in the world."

Rachel bought the few things she had come to the store for and was on her way back to her apartment. It wasn't exactly the place she wanted to be living with her little angel, but she had to make it work until she found a better job. It wasn't easy to be a single mom in a big city while trying to make a name for herself. Rachel had put her Broadway dreams on hold so that she could finish school, work at the little diner down the street from her apartment and still be a mother to her daughter. She was still the Rachel Berry she was in high school and would not give up on her dreams and goals no matter what came her way.

Darcy Elisabeth Berry was Rachel's little shining star. She was tiny and perfect. Rachel couldn't believe she was already a mother. She thought she would be a mother around thirty after she had won a handful of Tonys. Darcy was her little angel and she believed she came into her life for a reason. It may not be easy to be a single mother, but Rachel planned to do everything she could for her little girl. She wanted to give her everything she ever wanted and more. So her dreams were being put on hold so that she could be the kind of mother that she had never had herself.

Rachel had just put Darcy down for her nap. Rachel was putting her groceries away. Then she planned to call Kurt to make plans for a lunch date. He loved his weekly date with Rachel and Darcy. Kurt proved to be the best friend Rachel could ever want to have. He had been such a big help to Rachel when she needed support the most. These were the days that she missed Finn because before the break up he had been the person that always calmed her nerves and make her feel like the luckiest girl in the world. She missed that feeling.

After the awful break up of Finn and Rachel after graduation, Rachel thought she was going to lose her best friend as well. Kurt made himself very clear that there was no way she was ever going to get rid of him, no matter what happened. He had been the only person that knew about Rachel's pregnancy and Darcy in general. He had been there for her every step of the way and loved his goddaughter. He had promised to keep her secret and he had proven that he was going to keep to his word. Rachel knew it wasn't easy from him not to tell the others in Lima that he talked to on a regular basis. He was the only person that Rachel had kept in contact with from Glee club and high school in general. It broke her heart, but she had other priorities now.

Rachel was a huge daddies' girl before she left for college. Then when she went to college things changed. The calls home became less frequent. Then when the pregnancy occurred she only called home once a month at most, always leaving out the fact that she was with child. She knew that would just disappoint her fathers and that was the last thing she wanted to do. She just wanted to be the perfect little girl that they always believed she was. The last thing she wanted to do was let them down after all they had done for her.

Rachel was getting ready to sit down on the couch and call Kurt when there was a knock on her door. She didn't think anything of it. She just thought Kurt had missed Darcy and was making a surprise visit to see her. He was in love with the little girl and spoiled her like crazy. You would have thought that he was her father. Rachel just figured he would be the closest thing to a father Darcy would ever have. Much to her surprise, she was okay with that.

Rachel walked to the door and opened it. She was shocked to see none other than Finn Hudson, the love of her life that she had tried to forget for so long. It had been a year since she got to New York, which meant that it had been about fourteen months since she had seen or talked to him.

Rachel gasped and practically whispered, "Finn."

Finn smiled and said, "Hey Rachel."
