I do NOT own Glee; it belongs to Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, although, that would be awesome if I did owe Glee. I do own Lilly, Maggie and Alex as they are made-up characters in my story.
This is my first fanfic, so please be gentle. Please read, review and comment! Thanks
I already have some other ideas for Parts IV and V. However, any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Finn Hudson loved Rachel Berry. She was his fiancée and they were so in love with each other. Now, Rachel was pregnant with their first child-a daughter. Finn was so happy that his life was almost complete. He had a beautiful fiancée and a baby girl on the way. His life was perfect. They moved to New York after graduation and they are both attending New York University where Rachel is pursuing her dream degree-an actress on Broadway and Finn is pursuing his degree in business. They bought an apartment together and they couldn't be happier.
Part I-Complete
"Damn" Finn Hudson thought. His alarm clock flashed 8:00 and he had to be in class in 30 minutes. The subway ride from the apartment that he shared with his fiancée, Rachel Berry was at least 20 minutes, plus it took another 10 minutes to get to the science building. He quietly got up, got dressed and picked up his things that he needed for his first class. Now, he just hoped that he could get to class on time.
Before he left, he looked at Rachel sleeping. He gently kissed her head and whispered "I love you." Rachel woke up and noticed Finn hovering over her. She looked back at him and whispered "I love you more." With that, Finn headed out of their bedroom and made his way to the subway station. Rachel fell back asleep.
The subway station was a mere four blocks from his apartment. The next subway departed at 8:15. He scurried as fast as he could to the subway station and waited. He noticed a family with two kids-a son and a daughter and he knew they must have been visiting as they looked lost. Finn overheard the little boy say that he missed Columbus, where they visiting from. Finn got an-all-too-familiar pain in his gut as this time; the one that he always got when someone mentioned his home state of Ohio. He missed Ohio. He missed his friends, his mom and stepfather. He missed his stepbrother, Kurt, who lived in New Jersey with his boyfriend, Blaine. He missed his alma mater, William McKinley High School and his missed his little sister, Maggie, who was born shortly after he moved to New York. Suddenly, the subway pulled up and it was time to aboard.
Back at home, Rachel Berry was at the stage in her pregnancy where she couldn't really do much of anything, except school. She got up around 10:00 and got dressed. She started to waddle her way to the subway station; however, she began to feel a sharp pain in her abdomen. She hoped that it would just pass and that it was nothing. Unfortunately, it was something. Right then and there, Rachel Berry was going into labor, 3 weeks ahead of schedule. She looked down and saw a puddle beneath her feet. She had determined that her baby girl was going to make her entrance into the world today. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to make it to the hospital today.
At school, Finn was having trouble concentrating in his business math class because he was too dedicated to Rachel and their impending arrival. His cell phone buzzed. It was Rachel. She sent him a text:
Finn,
My water just broke!
Rachel
Finn folded up his laptop and headed out the door. His professor, Dr. Pearson noticed this.
"Mr. Hudson, you must have a very good reason for leaving in the middle of lecture" he scolded.
"I do. My fiancée's water broke! I need to get her another one" realizing what he just said, Finn knew what she meant by her water breaking.
"Very well then. You may go. And Mr. Hudson, you don't need to get her another glass of water." Dr. Pearson instructed.
"Thank you" and Finn exited the classroom.
Finn raced as fast as he could to the subway station. He didn't want to leave Rachel in pain for long. He remembered the day she told him he was going to be a father (AU: more on that later) and the moment he learned that it was a daughter (AU: more on this later as well). That was the day his heart sank, he had wanted a daughter his whole life and with the whole Quinn fiasco, he was even more excited to be having a daughter with someone he loved, Rachel Berry. After he snapped back into reality, the subway pulled into the station.
At this point, Rachel knew she wasn't going to attend any of her classes today. She had a valid reason, she was becoming a mother. Just then, Finn put his key into the lock and walked into the living room watching his fiancée grimace in pain. He felt that he was the biggest jerk for knocking her up before marrying her and now he felt like an even bigger jerk because of causing her to go through so much pain.
"Finn Hudson, I hate you!" she yelled as he walked closer to her.
"I know. I am such a jerk." Finn agreed. "But you know, honey, we should probably leave if we are going to make it to the hospital in time for you to deliver our daughter." Rachel smiled and agreed.
They walked outside and waited for a taxi to come. Rachel grasped Finn's hand as she breathed through the agonizing pain. She grasped his hand so tightly that he felt as though it cut off the circulation. Then the taxi pulled up and it was time to depart to the hospital. Finn Hudson couldn't believe it, he was about to become a father to a beautiful baby girl.
When they arrived at the hospital, Rachel was nearly enough dilated that instead of having her go to a labor room; they brought her straight into the delivery room. She yelped in pain and nearly broke Finn's hand this time.
"Hello, Rachel, how are we doing?" Dr. Carson asked.
"She's nearly ready, doctor" the orderly told her.
"Ok, Rachel, it looks like you are about 10 centimeters dilated. You're about to become a mom. Are you ready?"
Rachel nodded her head nervously in agreement.
"On the count of 3, I want you to start pushing. 1, 2, 3"
Rachel pushed and Finn could see the little head appearing before his eyes.
"Rachel, I love you so much. I can see her!" he squealed a little bit.
"One more push, Rachel and she'll be here". Rachel pushed as hard as she could and crying filled the air. She did it. She was a mom and Finn was a dad.
"Congratulations you two, here is your beautiful new baby girl." Dr. Carson handed the baby to Rachel and Finn leaned in to kiss his two favorite girls—his fiancée and his new daughter.
"She needs a name, Finn."
"You're right. I was thinking we could call her Lilly."
"That's a beautiful name, Finn. I love it"
"Lillian Elyse Hudson"
"It's perfect." Rachel said in agreement.
"I love you, Rachel"
"I love you more, Finn" and with that, they all laid on the bed in the hospital room for the first time as a family. Finn knew at this moment that his life was complete.
