We'll find our own way back
Chapter four
Before I start just want to say I haven't updated due to a death in my family. Hope you enjoy now.
Finn stood still. He couldn't quite process what was going on around him. He had heard what Rachel had said but was finding it hard to fully comprehend what she meant by it all. But there wasn't any time to think about it because Rachel began crying out in pain "Finn! I-I-I'm sorr-y I can't explain, just promise you'll stay with me?"Rachel said in between breaths. "I promise" he whispered and he held onto her hand. He looked down on Rachel, the girl he really loved in so much pain right at that moment and all he wanted to do was kiss her and tell her everything would be all right. But he didn't have time because just then the ambulance arrived and a whole lot of commotion began. "It's okay sweetie, your boyfriend's here and all" one of the paramedics said. Finn could feel his face redden but as he saw Rachel look up at him with those brown eyes all he could do was nod along.
Forty-five minutes later Finn stepped outside of the room where Rachel was settled and just as he did he saw Kurt, Blaine and Mercedes come running down the corridor. He could see their shock when they saw him. "Finn!" Kurt almost screamed. "You're here with Rachel?" "Eh yeah we met in a store and went for a walk in the park which was where she went into labour." Finn was confused and found it hard to find the words. "So you two have talked?" Blaine asked as he thought back to the conversation he had with Rachel a few weeks previous. "Yeah sort of but not about this I didn't know how far along she was, I offered to call her boyfriend but she said no?" Now Finn looked really confused. The three others looked at each other. "Right, well the baby is coming early, let's go in and see her?" Mercedes suggested to break the awkwardness. "Of course, in here" Finn lead them in to where Rachel lay in the bed looking red in the face. "Oh you guys thanks for coming" Rachel seemed tired. "Not a problem babe isn't it a small world that this happened when you were with Finn?" Rachel shot Kurt a look as a warning.
The hours dragged on slowly and after four hours Rachel's three friends decided to go for something to eat, leaving only Rachel and Finn. "Finn I think we need to talk." Rachel began but with that her doctor came in. "Well any change since the last hour?" he asked. "Not really I haven't felt much movement since the last contraction to be honest." Rachel replied. "And that was twenty minutes ago?" The doctor asked. Rachel nodded. "Hmm I see well considering you're eight months pregnant this is definitely the real thing, it's going to happen soon. I'll be back in a while." And he left with the door banging behind him. Rachel knew what had just happened and so she said nothing. "Wait wait wait..." Finn began. CRAP! Rachel thought. "EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT?" Finn shouted and stood up so that he was now facing Rachel. "We only graduated in May! We were still together eight months ago! Are you saying? No... It can't be!" Finn was ranting now. "I'm sorry I know it was wrong of me..." Rachel was crying. "Wrong of you? Yeah you're right it was wrong of you! I deserved to know you're having my baby... I'm going to be a father. You know how upset I was when I found out that Quinn's baby wasn't mine why were you going to take this child away from me too?" Finn was now crying too. "Actually don't answer that." And he stormed out of the room, leaving Rachel crying on her own.
"Finn? What's happened?" Kurt questioned as the returned. "Oh God, he knows. Oh no Rachel's on her own. We better bring this food into her." Mercedes said. "You guys go; you're her real best friends. I'll stay here." Blaine said and pointed at Finn. "Hey man. How you doing?" Blaine sat down beside Finn. "It's my kid. My kid! Why wouldn't she tell me that she was pregnant?" "She had her reasons Finn." Blaine tried to be neutral. "You knew then. Kurt and Mercedes know. I'm the last to know!" Finn was more upset than angry. "Here man you'll be fine, you guys could work it out." Blaine put his arm around Finn. "I feel betrayed like Quinn all over again." "No Finn this wasn't intentional. She didn't think you'd care for the baby or her. She was just being naive." Blaine tried to comfort Finn. "Care for the baby or her? I LOVE HER! I haven't stopped. It killed me to see her pregnant. How could she not think I'd care, I love her and I'd love her baby... our baby." Just then the pair saw Kurt running down the corridor. "It's coming! The baby's coming right now!" He looked at Blaine first to see about Finn. Blaine made an "I don't know motion" with his hands. "Finn I'm sorry, this is difficult. But you're not going to wanna miss this." Without a word Finn walked into the room. He didn't go too near Rachel; he left that to Kurt and Mercedes he just stood on the edge, watching on.
After what seemed like forever they finally saw the head and eventually the whole body emerged. "It's a boy" one of the nurses declared. Finn felt tears slide down his cheeks. Suddenly the doctors and nurses went into panic and everyone looked around. Then they all realised, the baby wasn't crying...
