"It's p-p-positive." She stuttered.
"Damn, are you sure?" Finn wondered.
"Yep" Rachel told him and she walked out of the drug store leaving Finn stunned.

"Rach, Rach" Finn had begun calling his girlfriend's name. She was now outside of the drug store with tears streaming down her face.
"Finn, I don't know if I can do this." She replied.
"Honey, you're going to do great. Even though we didn't plan this, we are going to have a baby! I love you, Rachel Berry."
"I love you too, Finn Hudson" and with that, she leaned into kiss him.

"Finn, we need to tell our parents about this. I'm scared to tell my dads. I'm afraid they'll kick me out."
"If they do, then you'll just come live with me. We have to tell them, Rach."
Finn pulled into his parent's house and he and Rachel got out.
"Are you sure we have to tell them?" Rachel asked.
"Yes, I think its better this way." And he grabbed her hand and walked inside to find Kurt, Burt and Carole sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Finn to join them.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I had a bit of an emergency." He told them. He signaled to Rachel to join them at the dinner table.
"Finn, is there something going on?" Carole wondered.
"Yes, yes there is." Finn told her.
"Well, what is it?" Burt added.
"Okay, here it goes." And he got up from the table and began to sing:
You're having my baby
What a lovely way of saying how much you love me
You're having my baby
What a lovely way of saying what you're thinking of me
I can see it your face is glowing
I can see it in your eyes
I'm happy knowing that you're having my baby
You're the woman I love and I love what it's doing to you
Having my baby
You're a woman in love and I love
What's going through you
The need inside you
I see it showing
Oh, the seed inside you
Baby, can you feel it growing
Are you happy in knowing that you're having my baby?
You're the woman I love and I love what it's doing to you
Didn't have to keep it
Wouldn't put you through it
You could have swept it from your life
But you wouldn't do it
No
You wouldn't do it
And you're having my baby
Burt, Carole and Kurt just sat at the dinner table dumbfounded. Did their son just tell them that Rachel is pregnant?
"Finn, is Rachel pregnant?" Carole asked.
Finn began to cry. "Yes, mom. I am so sorry. I used a condom, but I guess it didn't work."
"What are you going to do about this?" Burt wondered.
"I would like to keep it if Rachel wants to. This is different than with Quinn. For starters, it's actually my baby and secondly, I love Rachel more than anything in the world. This is proof of that love."
"Finn, you are so wonderful to me. I love you." And she gently gave him a kiss.
"Well, you know that you're going to tell me whether it's a girl or boy so then I can start decorating their room!" Kurt added.
Finn and Rachel just giggled.
"Finn, Rachel, we are disappointed that this happened, but we are going to support you regardless of what you decide to do with this baby." Carole reassured them.
"Thanks, Mom, you're the greatest" and with that, he hugged her and sat down to dinner with his family.

"Do I really have to tell my dads tonight?" Rachel whined as Finn drove closer to her house.
"Yes, babe, but remember, I'll be right there with you."
"You're the best." Rachel told him and before she knew it, he had pulled into her driveway and they walked together hand-in-hand.
"Dad? Daddy?" Rachel yelled to her dads when she entered the house.
"What is it?" Hiram, her white father asked.
"Well, Finn and I have some news. You might want to sit down. This is pretty big."
"Ok" Hiram told her, looking a little shocked.
A few moments later, Leroy, her black father joined Hiram in the living room.
"Alright, please don't be mad at Finn or myself. I want you to know that we had no intention of this happening, but Dad, Daddy, I'm pregnant."
"Excuse me?" Hiram asked. "Did you just say you're pregnant?"
"That's what I said. I am so sorry." Rachel began to cry.
"Sweetheart, we are not mad at you. We are a little disappointed in you, but we are going to support you every step of the way." Leroy told her.
"Really?" Rachel wondered.
"Yes. Rachie, you're our daughter and nothing like an unexpected pregnancy could ever make us stop loving you." And with that, Hiram and Leroy took Rachel into their arms and hugged her.
"That was easier than I thought. They were a lot calmer than I had hoped. Thanks for taking me here, Finn. Goodnight." And Rachel kissed him goodnight and drove off.

"Hi, class. Welcome back. I hope that you all had a wonderful summer." Mr. Schue told the class the next day.
Finn raised his hand.
"Yes, Finn?" Mr. Schue called on him.
"I've prepared a song for today. Do you mind if I sing it?"
"Be my guest." Mr. Schue told him.
"This is for my beautiful, Rachel. Baby, I know that we've had our fair share of struggles here lately, but nothing is scarier than becoming parents. I will be here for everything. I love you and I want to prove it to you."
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me, stand by me
And darlin' darlin' stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble you won't stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin' darlin' stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
"Thanks Finn, but I think we're a little curious about what you said before you sang. Is Rachel pregnant?" Mr. Schue asked.
"Yes, Rachel and I, we're having a baby"
"That's wonderful you two. Congratulations." And the whole Glee club got up to congratulate Finn and Rachel, everyone that is, except Quinn.
A/N: Well, there's the end of that chapter. I don't know how I feel about this chapter. It's kind of just a filler chapter I think. Anyway, still review! Much love, Stephanie
