So I randomly got inspiration for this story out of no where. Nice huh? There is probably going to be one more chapter, just a nice three-shot. Um if you like this story please check out my other fic Redemption. And if you like Fabrevans, I have a few of their stories in the works as well. Also check out my profile for visuals for most of my stories.
Also, if I wrote a little one shot of an alternate ending to the valentines day episode, would you read it?
Rachel knew she was pregnant before the test came back positive.
Since having Juliet 16 years prior, she knew what to expect when she was expecting. When her perfumes started to reek a horrific smell, and her stomach started to churn while she made her families dinner, and when she began to throw up her dinner at nine each night for an hour straight, she was prepared to see the two pink lines on the store bought test. That was why surprise was not the emotion that ran through her.
The first thing she did when the test came back positive was call Kurt. She told him she was pregnant, and how she had cheated on Jesse. He listened to everything without interrupting her once. "Are you sure it's his?" Was the only thing he asked?
"I wasn't… we weren't… I'm sure." She answered, Kurt understood.
"Okay Rachel. I'm happy for you, I mean you're having another baby, but you have to stop this right now. You can't raise this child while cheating on Jesse. You have to be in this relationship one hundred percent. You understand?" He questioned. Rachel nodded her head yes, although he couldn't see it.
"Yeah, I think I'll call Jesse. He's at work right now, maybe we can meet for lunch or something." She let out a small smile and said goodbye before hanging up the cell phone. Rachel walked out of the bathroom, pregnancy stick in hand, looking at her flat stomach. She wondered how long it would take for her to start showing. Juliet was born to early for her to actually go through the whole pregnancy.
"Mom?" Rachel looked up into the worried eyes of her daughter Juliet. The young teen looked almost exactly like Rachel, except her hair was a mix of her parents, perfect beach waves, and her eyes were identical to Jesse's. A light blue when she was excited or happy, and stormy grey when she was upset. Right now they were cobalt blue. Rachel noticed Juliet eyeing the pregnancy test. "Mom… Are you? Are you pregnant?" Juliet asked, her voice wavering.
Rachel nodded her head, and smiled. Juliet's reaction was nothing like her mother's. Her eyes filled up with tears and she sent her mom and mighty glare before running off towards her bedroom. "Juliet?" Rachel asked, right on Juliet's tail. "Honey?" She called, but Juliet slammed her door in Rachel's face. Rachel waited a few minutes before knocking on the door softly. There was no response but she let herself in anyway. Juliet was face down on her bed, hair sprawled over the pillows, crying hard. Rachel made her way over to the bed and sat down on the edge, rubbing her daughters back soothingly. "Juliet, I know you've been the only child for a while and you don't know how to act with having another child in the house but you have to know you're father and I won't love you any less." Suddenly Juliet was in her mothers face yelling.
"You are so dense sometimes! I could give a flying fuck about being the only child. I don't strive for attention like some people." Juliet's voice was harsh and Rachel was cringing. "How could you even do that mom? You cheated on dad. Slept with another man. And now you're having his baby? That is so fucked up, even for you!"
"Juliet St. James!" Rachel exclaimed. "You may not be proud of the decisions I have made in my life but I am still your mother and you will speak to me with respect." Juliet rolled her eyes and shoved her face back into the pillows. Rachel took that as her cue to leave. She got up from the bed and made her way to the door, stopping in the doorway. "And just so you know, I'm not a whore, I'm not carrying another mans child." Rachel then left the room to call Jesse, hoping his reaction would be better than their daughters.
Jesse St. James was in the middle of rehearsal for the musical Wicked, he was Fiyero of course, when he got a call on his cell phone from his wife. She never called him during rehearsal, after all, being in the Theatre herself she was never one to ruin a practice, so he quickly answered, scared something had possibly happened to her or their daughter. "Rachel? What's wrong?" He questioned.
"Don't worry Jesse. It's nothing serious, I just, I just have some new I really need to share with you. Will you meet me at our place in 20." she questioned, Jesse agreed and said his goodbye's, wondering what was so important that she had to meet him in 20 minutes. Unfortunately the only thing he could think of was Rachel asking for a divorce.
Jesse met Rachel at their favorite café exactly 20 minutes later, telling the director it was a family emergency and he would have to leave. When Jesse showed up at the café he immediately went to their table. He could see Rachel clearly, she looked nervous and worried. "Rach?" Jesse said. Rachel looked up at him and he saw her put on her show face.
"Jesse! Oh I'm glad you came." She said getting up to hug him. Jesse held on tighter, wanting this hug to last incase it was their last. He kissed her forehead as he let go and sat down in his seat. "I have something I need to tell you," Rachel started. Here it comes. Jesse thought to himself. After their night together things were rather awkward, but Jesse wasn't lying when he said he wouldn't give up. So night after night when Rachel came home he would have something waiting for her. Dinner, a bubble bath, a new signed playbill he had to search for. She had always seemed grateful, even once spending another incredible night with him. He'd thought she'd stopped, he thought she was all his. But now she was leaving him for good. Rachel sucked in a breath getting ready to tell Jesse the big news, but he cut her off before she could say anything.
"Wait." Rachel closed her mouth and looked at Jesse. "I just wanted to tell you, before you say anything, that I love you. I will always love you, till the say I die." Rachel smiled at Jesse after his speech.
"I'm pregnant." Rachel stated, smile spread across her face.
"What?' Jesse questioned. He had braced himself to hear that their family was splitting up, not growing.
"I'm pregnant. Jesse we're having another child." Jesse smiled, it faltered slightly. Jesse then stood up and hugged Rachel, she laughed joyfully. When they pulled away Jesse asked the questioned Rachel knew she would hear, but it hurt all the same.
"It's mine right?" He questioned. Rachel looked down at her shoes, disappointed that she put Jesse in the position that would even cause him to ask the question. "Rachel? Is the baby mine?" He asked again, worry coating his voice. Rachel nodded her head yes. Jesse smiled and hugged her again. He was thrilled, not only was his family staying together, but he was going to have another baby. "So you've broken it off with him? I'm the only man in your live right?"
"Of course. Jesse you're the only man I need." Rachel smiled and then looked at her watch. "Oh Jesse, you need to get back to rehearsal. After all opening night is in a week." Jesse smiled and kissed Rachel.
"You're right." He said before kissing her again. "Oh before I leave, rehearsal is going to run late tonight." He gave her another kiss after the sentence. "I'll come home a little later, but wait up? I want to celebrate." Rachel noticed the underlining tone in his voice and giggled. Jesse kissed her again. "I love you Rach." He gave Rachel one last peck before leaving to go back to the theatre.
Rachel let out a breath of air as she looked up at the skyscraper above her. Now or never. She opened the door to the building and went straight towards the elevator, pressing button number 72 from habit. The ride up was a long one, probably because elevators made her nauseous and now being pregnant made her whole sense of gravity off. When she stepped out of the elevator she saw cherry wood walls and the fake smile of the secretary. "Oh Rachel." So good to see you again. "He's free right now if you'd like to go in." Rachel smiled and walked past the desk towards the double doors that lead open to the office.
"Thanks Shelly." Rachel said as she opened the doors. When she walked in the room the man behind the counter smiled. She smiled back as she closed the door. When she turned back around to face him he was right in front of her. He stole a kiss before she could say anything, she was so off guard that she couldn't push him away until after he began to deepen it. "Stop." She whispered as she pushed him off.
"What? What's wrong?" He questioned. She looked away from his sad puppy dog eyes and walked towards the bookshelf in the room, looking at the random nick knacks, picking up a few things that interested her. She stopped on the picture of them from senior year in Glee Club, when she gave up on ever believing they could be together, when she got pregnant, when she fell for Jesse.
"I need to tell you something." She started, knowing this conversation would go differently than the one with Jesse moments prior. "I-I'm pregnant." She was suddenly off the ground and was being spun around in circles.
"We're having a baby?" He questioned. "Oh Rachel this is so great." He was smiling, as he set her back down on the ground. Rachel waited the few seconds for him to put the pieces together. His face suddenly contorted into that of confusion. "Wait a second, we never… we didn't sleep together." Rachel looked down and walked out of his grasp.
"Exactly." She said.
"Then how…?" When Rachel turned to look at him his face no longer held emotion, it was blank. "You slept with him?" He shouted, Rachel jumped slightly at the volume and anger in his voice. "What the hell Rachel?"
"He's my husband!" She answered back. "I'm entitled to sleep with him."
"Not when we were… I thought you said you were going to break it off with him? So we could finally be together like we always wanted." His voice still held anger but she could also hear the sadness in his voice.
"I was going to… but then in realized how much I really do love him." Rachel thought she heard his heart break. "I love you too, but Jesse is my husband and when I said I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him I meant it. I'm sorry but I have to break this off with you, I need to fix my family." She whispered, tears escaping her eyes.
"Yeah well you should have thought about that before you came back into my life. You just walk in here and make me fall for you all over again just to tell me you're pregnant with his baby and you don't love me as much as him? What a bitch move Rach." The words stung, she knew she should be happy this was ending so her family could be back together again, but she couldn't stop the heartbreak she was feeling.
"I'm sorry, I have to go." She said as she walked towards the door.
"I'm not giving up on us Rachel. I never will." He stated when she was in the doorframe.
"You have to. Goodbye Finn." Rachel looked back at him one last time, a tear trickling down her face, and then she left.
