There was two months left of Rachel's pregnancy and they were almost done with Ava's room. They had painted it Dark purple with lilac colored polka dots. The crib, changing table, and dresser were white. Madison was excited to be having a new sister. Madison's room was light pink with butterflies she had a window seat in the corner and a beautiful dollhouse Finn made for her fourth birthday. Rachel sat down on the couch and decided to take a little nap.
That nap turned into 3 hours and Finn and Madison would be home soon. Finn opened the door and Maddie burst in. She looked around for her mother who usually would've been in the kitchen waiting for them. Madison looked around trying to find Rachel.
"Daddy I can't find mommy." She said looking like she was going to cry. Finn took her by the hand and walked around the first floor of their house finding Rachel asleep on the couch. Finn bent down to meet his daughter.
"Mommy asleep, why don't I get you a snack?" Maddie nodded running into the kitchen. Finn got Madison a snack and went to check on Rachel. He sat on the edge of the couch. Rachel woke up and was startled to see Finn.
"Finn what are you doing here it's-"
"Its three thirty Rachel I just got home with Maddie." He said kissing her forehead. Rachel tried to get up but Finn push her down.
"Rachel lie down and stay I can handle Maddie," He said laying the blanket from the couch over Rachel and walking away to help Madison. Fifth teen minutes later Rachel got up and went to help Maddie with her home work, though Finn beat her to it. Maddie went to her room to play. Finn made dinner so Rachel could relax, well it wasn't really dinner it was the only thing Finn could make, frozen waffles.
Of course Madison loved it. Rachel rarely did things like that but with Finn it was frozen waffles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Rachel ate the waffles quickly and then went upstairs into Ava's room to finish the last couple of things. Finn the TV on for Madison and he made his way upstairs. He found Rachel asleep in the rocking chair in Ava's room. Finn chuckled looking at her. He walked over to her and picked her up, carrying her in to their bedroom. Rachel started to wake up.
"Wow, you were lighter our wedding night!"He said, Rachel giggled. Finn gently laid her down on the bed.
"Now stay here, I'll take care of Maddie." He lightly kissed her on the forehead, and shut the door. Rachel wasn't tired anymore she spent most the day sleeping so she turned on the TV and after an hour went downstairs.
"I can't go a whole day without having a decent conversation with you!" She said giving him a light kiss
"Okay, I can't believe there's only a month left of school." Finn said
"I know, it's great that you'll be home to help me, but yet will have a new baby and a five year old who's at the age where she wants to do everything." Rachel said.
"Yeah, good thing Quinn and Puck have offered to help." Rachel nodded.
"Yep and I signed Maddie up for as many camps I could get her in!" They both started to laugh.
Well, that month went by quickly and yet again Rachel was asleep on the couch. About an hour after she had fallen asleep she was awoken by a sharp pain.
"Ow!" She exclaimed, she brushed off the pain and tried to go back to sleep. It didn't last long though a half hour later Rachel woke up again and the pain had intensified. Rachel quickly dialed Finn's cell phone number.
Finn was in the middle of a lesson when his phone went off. He noticed it was the home number and couldn't answer the phone quicker.
"Rachel, what's wrong?" He asked already throwing things in his bag in case he had to leave.
"Finn you have to come home now!" She yelled as another sharp pain ran down her spine.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Finn said hanging up.
"Okay guys, I have to leave so I'm going to get Ms. Murray and she's going to watch you." He said grabbing his bag and running to the library.
"Jenna, I need you to watch my class. Rachel just called and she needs me home." He said already trying to make a run for his car.
"Yeah, totally I'll bring them in here and turn them on a movie or something," She said walking out of the room to get the kids from the music room. Finn ran down the hall as fast as he could and hopped in his truck, and drove as fast as he could home. When he walked in the door he saw Rachel curled up in a ball moaning. When she saw she got up quickly and started to walk to the door. Finn followed her out to the car and drove rapidly to the hospital. After Rachel was checked in to her room something crossed her mind.
"Madison!" She exclaimed looking at Finn.
"Oh my gosh! I forgot I'll call Quinn and she'll pick her up. Finn dialed his phone so fast he almost dropped it a couple of times.
"Finn what's wrong?" Puck asked answering the phone.
"Rachel's in the hospital you guys have to pick Maddie up." He said franticly.
"Okay, I'll have Quinn get right to it she was about to pick up Hannah anyway." He said.
"Thank you so much! I owe you." Finn said.
"Yeah you do," He said. Finn laughed and Rachel gave him a look to get off the phone.
"Okay I got to go I'll talk to you later." Both Finn and Puck hung up.
Finn and Rachel waited in the room for the doctor. The pain decreased after all the medication Rachel demanded. Quinn sent Finn a text saying she had Madison. Finn told her to bring her to the hospital. Quinn called Puck and told him to bring Sophia and meet them at the hospital. Puck and Quinn met each other at the hospital waiting anxiously for Finn to come out and give them news. After three hours of hand crushing Finn and Rachel now had a second child. As the doctor was leaving Finn stopped him.
"Hey, Doc can I get some ice?" Rachel hit him on his arm and he started to laugh.
"He was kidding," She said looking at him.
"Yeah, right," He said the doctor walked out the door and shook his head and shut the door. Finn went to the waiting room to tell Quinn and Puck. They walked in the room to see Rachel holding Ava.
"Maddie this is your new sister." Rachel whispered. Madison's face lit up walking over walking over to her mother.
"Can I hold her mommy?" She asked. Rachel nodded.
"Go sit in the chair and all hand her to you." She said getting up and bringing Ava to Madison. Rachel handed Maddie the small infant gently.
"You have to hold her head okay?" Madison nodded and lifted Ava's head. Quinn, Puck, and Hannah all held Ava. Quinn and Puck both decided along with Rachel and Finn that Sophia was too young and wouldn't understand. Quinn and Puck let Madison spend the night so Finn could stay with Rachel. After they left Finn took out his phone and took a picture of Ava and sent it to the rest of the glee club and Mr. Schue.
'Ava Grace Hudson 7 lbs. 13 oz. 18 in.'
After Finn sent the text he had a rush of texts back. Like 'so cute! Congrats guys!' from Will, 'Cutest baby ever!' from Mike, and Finn's favorite from Kurt, 'Give the phone to Rachel: just like with Madison I have to approve all her outfits so send me pics! Ha-ha! Congrats!'
"Oh Kurt, he's still haunting me with my choice of apparel from high school." Rachel said handing Finn Ava. Both of them laughed and a half hour later Rachel was asleep. Finn laid Ava in the basinet and fell asleep in the chair.
That morning Rachel woke up to see Finn asleep in the chair, she looked around trying to find Ava she started to panic not seeing her daughter. She then found a note on the board. 'I didn't want to wake you or your husband I had to take the baby back to the nursery.' Rachel felt better after seeing the note. Finn started to wake up and had the same panic Rachel had after waking up. She pointed to the board Finn sighed in relief.
The next day Rachel and Ava could go home. Finn picked them up around ten-thirty with Madison. Maddie was very helpful carrying bags and everything. Finn took Ava and put her in her car seat and Maddie carried Rachel's small duffle bag leaving Rachel with nothing. When they got home Rachel went straight to their bedroom and slept leaving Finn to take care of Madison and Ava.
"Daddy, why did mommy go to bed now?" Maddie asked curiously.
"Well, when you have a baby they have to eat during the night so you have to get up a lot and take care of them so you get tired." Finn said trying to make it so she would understand.
"Then why aren't you asleep?" she asked.
"Because if I were asleep and mommy were asleep who'd take care of you and Ava?"
"Well couldn't Auntie Quinn and Uncle Noah?"
"But it's not their baby." He said.
"Oh," Finn nodded.
It was around noon and Madison was getting hungry Finn decided to make his specialty, frozen waffles! He pulled out the box and Rachel came down the stairs.
"You are not making frozen waffles." She said grabbing the box from him.
"Maddie do you want a grilled cheese?" Maddie nodded. She then pulled out the cheese and bread and started to make the sandwich.
After Finn put Maddie to bed the mayhem, Finn got up as much as Rachel let him.
"Finn you have to work tomorrow I can sleep all day let me do it." Rachel said trying to get up.
"I can get a sub, you need sleep." Rachel was defeated and Finn got up.
And that's exactly what happened, Finn called in and got a substitute and stayed home with Rachel. Finn stayed home that last month of school, Quinn picked up Maddie from school and everything went great. Finally school was out Maddie surprisingly did cooperating great with Rachel and Finn have to take care of the new baby.
