I own nothing of glee and/or any of its characters.
Rachel stared at the white board waiting for her usual stroke of genius to inspire her but her mind could not focus. All she could think about was how much her life had changed in the few short hours since she found out that scary and daunting news.
Rachel sat on the floor of the girls bathroom crying for like the thousandth time today trying to understand what was happening. Why all of a sudden she
felt like a completely different person. "I can do this she whispered to herself" drawing in a deep breath and trying to hold back the tears."It's just Glee
everyone accepts you there noone knows yet so I can do this." She wiped the tears from her eyes and walked out of the bathroom stall toward the sink.
She looked up to attepmt to fix her makeup a wave of nausea overcame her sending her running back into the stall to heave up the last of her breakfast.
When she had finished emptying the contents of her stomach. She heard a flush a few stalls down almost as if the other occupant of the bathroom had
waited for her to finish. She let out a big sob and leaned her head against the cool metal of the stall door. When she heard the other occupants footsteps
sounding closer. She closed her eyes listening to the clack-clack-clack of a woman's heels hoping they did not belong to a teacher and who was coming to
check on the poor sick girl in the bathroom. Then familar voice sounded "You know crying and hiding out in a bathroom stall is not going to change
anything but your attendance record." She gluped of course it was Quinn whoelse would it be she tried to grab a hold of her bag hoping she could remain
anonymous and that Quinn would just go back to class."Rachel," Quinn's voice rang with a concerned tone"I know it is you come out and talk with me."
Rachel sighed in defeat and opened the door. Quinn stood over her staring down with nothing but pity on her face as she extended a hand to help her off
of the bathroom floor. Rachel gladly took her hand thankful because she was not sure she had the energy to stand on her own."So," Quinn said as she
handed Rachel a damp towel"When did you find out?" Rachel looked up at the taller girl "Find outabout what?" she asked trying to play dumb. Quinn gave
her a disapproving look "That you are pregnant." Rachel whimpered at the sound of those words like they had just slapped her in the face. She took a few
seconds trying to focus her thoughts before she spoke to the patiently waiting blond."I-I guess officially this morning when my doctor called me to set up
a follow up appointment but I took a few tests over the weekend and every one of them was poitive." She smiled at me "Well Rachel Barry you need to
suck it up for now you are missing glee and how are you ever going to be a star without practice?" Shes said as she flipped her hair and pretened to clear
her throat. Rachel laughed at Quinn's silly impression of her best diva berry. "Come on" Quinn moitioned extending a hand again let's go sing our hearts
out you will have plenty of time later tonight to have an it's-the-end-of the-world-pity-party." Rachel smiled and went with Quinn shaking off her despair
for the monent besides in the famous words of show biz the show must go on.
"what's wrong babe?" Finn asked coming up to her "You look worried. Should I worry?" seeing Rachel's face and wondering what in the hell was making her look so damn scared. Rachel is never scared. She peeked up at him through her long eyelashes in a way that always seemed to soften him."Finn,I love you." she said patting the seat next to her "I love you too, Babe" I replied sitting where she had motioned. She sighed and cleared her throat as I took the opportunity took peek at her breasts. "Finn I really don't know how to put this. I mean I love you so it should be easy and yet that is exactly why it isn't." Finn's eyes widened "Rachel, baby please don't do this. Please." "Do what?" she asked "try and tell you that a family may be coming sooner than we planned? Finn, I am pregnant with your baby." Finn blew out a quick sigh of relief thankful she wasn't breaking up with him. Then the news hit him like a ton of bricks."Oh shit." he breathed "I'm sorry." Rachel looked at him confused as to why he was acting like he had just broken someones favorite pen. "Finn do you understand what I am telling you...I AM PREGNANT. Like Quinn was. There is a baby in here"she said grabbing my hand and placing it over here lower abdomen. "I get it rach." I responed trying to find some kind of response in my head that would make her forgive me or whatever. " I just feel horrible. I mean I knew I was already dragging you down but I didn't think I would actually ruin your dreams so quickly." Rachel's eyes narrowed "
"Ruin my drerams?Finn. Ruin my dreams? Finn Christopher Hudson you are my dreams you are my everything. Am I scared? Yes. But you and this" I said squeezing the hand that still lay over my stomach." Is all a part of it. I will have it all. You, the stardom, the family, everything but some of it will just have to wait a while." She stared at him waiting for him to speak. "Okay then." he said getting up from his seat and dropping down on one knee."Rachel Barbara Berry will you marry me? I will be everything you need me to be if you will have me?" Tears rushed to the surface and spilled over streaming down my cheeks as I nodded and managed to blurt out a barely audible yes.
