Chapter 7-Double Trouble

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee.

It had been two weeks since Finn and Rachel had gotten married. They were now living in a condo that was purchased as a wedding gift while they were on their honeymoon in St. Croix. They both were beginning their first semesters at the Ohio State University in the fall and were excited to be sharing this time of their lives with each other.

The clock flashed 2:00am. Rachel had been in the bathroom for an hour now. The light from the bathroom was disturbing Finn as he was trying to sleep. Rachel had been sick ever since they had gotten back from their honeymoon a few weeks ago. She first started feeling sick the moment they got on the plane and she thought it was just food poisoning or something, but her sickness had continued to stay with her for two weeks. She hated being sick. She wished that she could kick this thing, but every time she thought that she was feeling better, she managed to become sick once again.

"Rach, baby, are you okay?" Finn knocked on the door to see his wife with her head over the toilet.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll be back to bed in a minute."

"Rach, you've been sick ever since we got back. Are you sure you're okay?"

Rachel nodded before puking again.

"Rach, you probably should see what's wrong with you. The flu doesn't last this long." Finn advised his wife as he unpacked a box with their belongings.

"Finn, there is nothing wrong with me. I just have the flu." She told him.

"A flu that lasts for two weeks? I seriously doubt that." Finn coaxed.

"Fine, I'll go to the doctor."

Rachel sat in the doctor's office waiting for the receptionist to call her name. Finn sat next to her clutching her hand.

"Did I ever tell how wonderful you are?" Rachel told her husband.

"Yes and you are so wonderful too." He leaned in for a kiss when the receptionist interrupted them.

"Rachel Hudson?" she yelled. Finn and Rachel got up from their seats and walked hand-in-hand to the examination room and waited for the doctor to arrive.

Finn stared at the pictures on the wall. Some of them freaked him out. The pictures of inside of a woman were really scary. He glanced over at Rachel and saw that she was sitting there nice and calm, awaiting her fate.

Just then, the doctor entered.

"Hello there, my name is Dr. Phillips and I am going to be examining you today. Do you mind lifting up your shirt, Mrs. Hudson?"

Rachel nodded and lifted up her shirt. She looked over at Finn and gave him a look indicating that she wanted him by her side.

"Alright, so you've been sick for the past two weeks and you think it's the flu?" Dr. Phillips asked.

Rachel replied with a simple yes and the doctor continued to examine her.

"Well, actually, Mrs. Hudson. I'm afraid you don't have the flu, but it will go away in nine months. Congratulations, you're pregnant!" Dr. Phillips exclaimed.

Rachel began to cry hysterically and Finn went over to comfort his wife.

"Are you okay, Mrs. Hudson?" Dr. Phillips asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. This is all just so overwhelming."

As Dr. Phillips began to turn off the sonogram machine, he noticed something.

"Wait, what do we have here?" he leaned in to take a closer look. "Ah, just as I suspected, Rachel, Finn, it looks like you're going to be parents….times two."

Finn and Rachel just stare at the doctor in shock.

"Excuse me?" Finn asked.

"Yes, it looks like Rachel's having twins."

"You're kidding, right? You mean like, two babies born at once?"

"That's generally the way it works. There's one other thing, would you like to know the genders?"

Finn looked at Rachel who nodded "yes"

"Well, baby A is a girl and baby B is a boy." Dr. Phillips told them.

"We'll have one of each! Then our lives will be perfect. We'll have a son and a daughter." Finn picked Rachel from the examination table and carried outside to their car and drove away.

Three months had passed and Rachel was now in her second trimester. She was now driving Finn crazy. Nothing that he did seemed to be right. He couldn't wait till his children were born and his wife would no longer act so crazy.

"Finn, I think we should decide on what to name the babies. I mean, they're going to be here before we know it."

"You're right. I want to name the boy Christopher after my dad and for the girl; I want to name her Hannah."

"Those are really nice names, Finn. I love them."

Finn kissed his wife after she agreed to the names he had chosen and went back to watching "Funny Girl" with her.

"Finn, can you bring me my wool socks?" Rachel yelled down to her husband.

"But honey, they're all the way up in the attic." He coaxed back.

"I'm cold though."

"Oh, alright. I am only doing this because I love you." And with that, he headed up to the attic to retrieve Rachel's wool socks.

Moments later, Finn returned with Rachel's wool socks, but she had fallen asleep on the couch. Instead of waking her, he just went up to their room and laid down himself.

"I am thinking that we should do the room in yellow and green." Kurt told Rachel as he discussed paint colors for the twins' room.

"Kurt, we're having a boy and a girl. Shouldn't we incorporate a mixture of something for each of the children? I think that Hannah should have pink and Christopher should have blue."

"Rachel, trust me, I know what I am doing." Kurt just shook his head at Rachel and continued decorating the twins' room.

Rachel was disgusted at her brother-in-law, but she trusted him and left the nursery knowing that Kurt could handle it.

Finn arrived home from his job at Burt's garage (he wanted to work there to have enough money for when the babies arrived) and went upstairs. He quickly caught a glance of the twins' room and knew that Kurt had been there. He just smiled and continued on his way to his bedroom.

I am going to stop there as I feel that it is a good stopping place. As always, reviews are appreciated.

In the next chapter, Rachel and Finn will experience financial struggles as the arrival of their twins draw nearer. How will they cope? Find out.
