Chapter 2-Comfort

Shelby's POV

I opened the door to the sight of Rachel stood on my doorstep crying silently. She addressed me as "mommy" for the first time ever and then flung herself into my arms sobbing her little heart out. It pained me to see my daughter so upset. I may have given her up for the second time only a few months ago but only because I felt that was what was best for her. Now, looking at the broken shell of a girl in my arms, I wondered whether I'd maybe been wrong.

Gently I led Rachel into my living room and sat down on the couch. I gathered her into my arms and sat her on my lap. Then I began to stroke her hair and whisper calming words into her ear. I don't know how I knew what to do, put it down to mother's instinct, but before long her sobbing had calmed down to the odd hiccup. She pulled back from me and looked ashamedly into my eyes.

"I'm so sorry for bothering you, I'll go now" she said but as soon as she even started I began shaking my head

"Sweetie, you're not going anywhere. You obviously need me and I want you to know that I'm here for you" I said. I was determined to find out what was wrong with her, she looked so broken, I had never seen Rachel look that vulnerable before and it scared me.

"Mommy, I'm scared" she said in a voice barely above a whisper as she looked at the floor. I sat silently hoping she would just continue without any prompting, I had no idea where this was going.

"I-I-I" she stuttered before becoming silent once more. Rachel Berry, my daughter, lost for words? Something must be very wrong, she took after me and I was always talking when I was younger.

"Mom, Finn and I, we-we" she began again, she took a deep breath before continuing once more "We slept together" she finally managed to say so quietly I barely heard what she said. I sat there for a while, stunned. Why was she telling me this, we hadn't spoken since after Regionals and now here she was telling me that she slept with her boyfriend.

"When, sweetie?" I asked, deciding she needed some help to get out whatever it was she was trying to say. She began to tremble and I wrapped her in my arms once more kissing her on the temple in the hope of calming her down. It seemed to work because she took a deep breath and said

"Six weeks ago" She turned her head and looked up at me. Her wide chocolate eyes were filled with tears and her bottom lip was trembling. I pulled her closer to me and hugged her tightly.

"Sweetie, what's the matter? You can tell me" I tried to encourage her gently. She obviously needed somebody but she didn't even know where to begin and I was worried about her. I hoped she wasn't about to say what I thought she was about to say.

"Mommy," she began. She was obviously feeling vulnerable because she didn't even call me "mom" she was calling me "mommy". "I-I-I'm pregnant" she finally managed to get out. I tensed up as I heard those words come out of her mouth. Looking down at her I saw that she had broken down and was sobbing into her hands. Once again I gave her a tight hug. She was so small, how was it even possible that she was pregnant, she's still just a child herself.

"Darling, it's OK, have you taken a test?" I asked her. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that my little girl was pregnant. There was no way this was true. Rachel shook her head before pulling out three boxes from the carrier bag she was clutching in her left hand.

"I couldn't do it on my own, I was too scared" she said. It was only then that I realised, she should be in school at the moment. Rachel was so set on having a perfect attendance, she must have been feeling terrified to risk that to come here. I gently took her hand and gave it a tight squeeze before I began to lead her upstairs to the bathroom. She may not feel that she has anybody at school she can talk to but I was damn sure going to be there for my daughter when she needed me. This seemed to be fate giving me a second chance at a relationship with my daughter and I wasn't about to pass up that opportunity.

Rachel walked quietly into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. I sat on the floor outside the bathroom door and leant my head against the wall. I hadn't seen my daughter in months and now we were going through one of the most difficult moments we could possibly go through. How could I possibly even attempt to help her through this if it were true?

Rachel's POV

I sat in my mother's bathroom trying to gather up the courage to take one of the tests. After a few deep breaths I calmed myself down and took all three of the tests. Then I went to the door of the bathroom and opened it. My heart stopped for a moment when I couldn't see Shelby anywhere, but then I turned my head and saw her sat on the floor leaning against the wall. She looked up at me and got up quickly before walking into her bathroom. She sat on the edge of the bath and gestured for me to sit next to her.

I walked over to her and sat down. My mind was working at what felt like twice its normal speed. I was so scared, I'm only 16; how can I look after a baby? What will Finn say when I tell him? How do I tell him? What about my dads? I looked over at Shelby and she put her arm around me.

"Sweetie, it'll be fine. No matter what happens, I'll be here." She said, and for the first time, I knew she meant it. I smiled weakly at her and leant my head on her shoulder.

"Darling" she began as she shifted uncomfortably. I wasn't sure whether this was because of the subject she was about to bring up or because sitting on the edge of the bath wasn't the most comfortable situation. "Have you told Finn yet?"

"No, and I don't think I'm going to yet," I said as my voice began to shake. Mom looked at me with a puzzled look so I expanded "We broke up a month ago, it's complicated" I said. "Possibly about to get more complicated" I thought. My mom gave me a tight hug and I sighed, leaning into it and trying to forget about the situation that brought me here.

The time was up so quickly and I got up and shakily made my way over to the sink where I had left the tests. I picked up the first one and looked at the result. It was in that moment that my world went black.

I hope you liked it, sorry for the cliffhanger :)
