Months later she's waddling around when she runs into Quinn sitting by herself in the grass. She wants to keep walking, while they're not enemies they are certainly not friends but she lowers herself down into the grass beside the blonde anyways. They sit there quietly for a few minutes. Sound checks are going on in the background. Rachel thinks she's heard more sound checks than singing this summer. Rachel's hands always want to be busy lately and she starts weaving the wild flowers around her into a wreath. When she's about half way done Quinn finally speaks up.

"Do you think it's going to be a boy or a girl?" She knows both Puck and Rachel want to wait until the birth to find out the gender.

Rachel pauses in her weaving to consider before replying, it's not what she thought they were going to talk about.

"I hope it's a boy. A boy just like Noah. Noah says he doesn't care either way and of course I'll love a girl just as much, but in my secret heart I want a boy. I understand boys best. But I'm not going to tell Noah that. He has a hard time adjusting to the unexpected and he'll think I don't want her."

After months of dating Puck Quinn understands what Rachel means "Silly boys"

Rachel finishes her flower wreath and they sit in silence for a few more minutes until they hear Puck calling Rachel's name. Rachel groans and says that he's probably looking for her to make sure she pees or something. The boys have been smothering her lately and she's feeling a bit irritated. Quinn hops up, hauls Rachel to her feet and they make a mad dash for the snacks tent. Well a mad dash waddle with Quinn holding on to Rachel's arm until they make it safely but not undetected into the tent. Puck saw them run away, pregnant women aren't that fast, but he leaves them alone. They were both smiling and laughing.

When he comes into the tent later they're sprawled out on the couch. They have bowls of food scattered around them and two baby name books open. Quinn has a crown of flowers on her head and Rachel is vetoing a name Quinn just suggested. He thanks god his baby mama isn't dumb because there is no way in hell they're naming their kid Denzel, no matter how hot his girlfriend thinks the actor is.

Jesse is looking for Rachel again. She's not on her bands bus and no one has seen her. He's trying not to worry but it's kind of hopeless at this point. All the boys have come up with a system to keep track of her. She ends up napping in the strangest places and has sent them into a panic more than once. Jesse is going bus to bus looking. She loves the other bands and they love her. One time spend the whole day with the roadies. She said she was hungry and they had the best food but he really thinks she just likes the way they all shared baby stories. A lot of the guys have kids at home and pictures of them in their wallets. She came back with all these suggestions for baby names.

This time he finds her asleep on his sister's bus. Santana says she fell asleep talking about Quinn. Jesse's worried about stressing out her and the baby but Santana reassures him they're getting on better now. Apparently Quinn has five younger sisters and brothers. The last few years at home she was basically their primary caregiver. She's chock full of knowledge about babies and Rachel was picking her brain.

Jesse hangs out with his sister until Rachel wakes up and then brings her back to their bus. Santana has plans to go out with another band and she tries to convince them to come along. She complains they're an old married couple already but they still decline in favor of whatever boring thing they usually do. They are sickeningly sweet and she can only take small doses of them when they get in these moods. Santana thanks the universe it's not her that's pregnant. She doesn't think she'd be able to do what Rachel and Jesse and Puck and even Quinn are doing. She gives them a quick hug and sends them on their way so she can get ready for the night.

One night they're at a beach having a cook out. It's a turned into a cool evening and they're gathered around the bonfire. Rachel's finally convinced all the boys to hang out with Jesse and Santana. It's the first time they're all together and so far it's going well. Rachel is a little surprised, she was more than ready to play referee. Puck has brought along his guitar and he's sitting on one side of her singing to the baby. Quinn's on his other side watching the boys and Santana across the fire playing chubby bunny with the marshmallows. It's a tie between the drummers and Santana has impressed the boys. Jesse is on Rachel's other side and she can just barely here him singing under his breath along with Puck.

Jesse has been unusually quiet for a while. He's observing the group dynamics. He realizes he's never talked to Rachel about her relationships with the band. It has to be deliberate because he can't see how they've avoided the topic in their years of conversations. He thinks either Rachel never wanted him to know too much, or he himself never wanted to. Probably a bit of both. He knows enough through Santana to piece most of it together. He thinks their parents really did a number on them growing up. He can understand Rachel's point of view because his parents instilled the same ideas in him. But he's come to a different conclusion and he hopes Rachel is with him in this. Their parent's philosophy was the 60's free love era. And it wasn't a healthy lifestyle to raise a child in then and it's not now. He wants an exclusive relationship with Rachel and he hopes she does as well.

Rachel thinks Jesse still see's her as a broken hearted 15 year old orphan thrust out from a fairy tale world into reality. Of course she knows that her teenage years were a bit messy. Her aunt helped her understand her parents more. They were naïve, her parents were very young when they had Rachel and were still growing up a lot when they died. She doesn't regret her past but she doesn't want to repeat it either. She's still young and has a lot of learning to do. She just happens to have a past more colorful the other 20 year olds. She wants her son or daughter to grow up with a different set of morals then herself. She talks to Jesse and Noah about all of this.
