Thank you for the response to last chapter. I hope you will take this chapter just as well. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate them all. Enjoy and let me know what you think. :)

Rachel was expecting to look at the clock to see five when she woke up. That was when the babies always decided to make themselves known and lead her to emptying her stomach. She was pleasantly surprised to see that it was seven when she woke up on her own. She rubbed her stomach and said, "Thank you for letting mommy sleep today, babies. I really appreciate it. Your daddy knows about you now. Now it is just to see where things go from here. Let's get ready for our day. Mommy has to get ready for work and then she has classes later today. Try to not make me too tired today. I really love you. I know I complain a lot, but mommy will always love you."

Rachel got out of bed and started getting ready for her shift at Starbucks.

Rachel had a half an hour before she had to head down the block to work. There was a knock on the door. She was really hoping that it was Quinn. She opened the door to see none other than Finn.

She sighed and asked, "What are you doing here, Finn?"

Finn told her, "I wanted to come check on you and the babies this morning. I have bagels and orange juice."

"I'm fine. Thank you though."

"Please eat it. I want to make sure that you and the babies are well taken care of."

"I take care of them and myself just fine without you."

"Just accept it."

Rachel huffed. "Fine." Rachel took the bag and juice from Finn. Much to her displeasure it smelled great and quickly started to eat it. Finn just chuckled as she watched.

She asked, "What else can I help you with? I have to be at work in a half an hour."

"Rachel, I feel terrible about the way that I have treated you. You are going through so much to bring our babies into the world. I appreciate all the changes and hardships you are going through to bring them into the world healthy. I will owe you the rest of my life."

"I hope you realize that I am not some surrogate. There are my babies and I'm not going to let you take them away from me. I was leery at first about having them, but I have come to love them. They are little parts of what I fell in love with the first time I met you." Rachel mentally slapped herself for saying that out loud.

"Rachel…"

"Stop. I'm hormonal. I am not responsible for what may be said in the next six months. There are in charge of pretty much every part of my body right now. All feelings aside, my job is to get these babies here as healthy as I possibly can."

"You are going to be an amazing mother. I would never dream about taking the babies from you. I just want to be part of every part of their lives. I'm going to call my family and tell them about the babies. My brother and mom are going to want to meet you."

Rachel was worried. She wasn't good with new people. Her relationship with Finn showed that much. She said, "I can't meet them. Finn, this is just messed up. Your family will hate me just like everyone else does. I'm perfectly fine with doing everything on my own. My dads didn't really support me so I learned to take care of myself at a young age."

"They didn't?"

"No. Then they died in an accident. I can take care of myself. You aren't the only one that has a hard time letting people in."

"I had no idea that your fathers died."

"You didn't ask so I didn't tell."

"Rach, I'm not going to leave you to do this alone. You are going to have to deal with me for the next 18 years at least. Then I am going to be the one sitting next to you when our kids get married and introduce us to our grandkids. We don't have to be together. I just want to be friends. I'm just asking for you to be my friend. I really need one and I know you need one, too. I'm sorry you didn't have the fathers you wanted, but I want you to know that I am going to be there for our children. I'm not going to let them down. I'm going to support them in all their goal and future endeavors."

Rachel had to smile. That was the sweetest thing she had heard in a long time. She really was going to need a friend. "Fine. We can work toward a friendship. It is really hard to trust anyone when I have been expected to take care of myself for so long. I let a friend in and then something as terrible as what happened yesterday happens and I lose it."

"Quinn will come around. She will get better. You don't have to worry about losing her and Puck. They really care about you. I got many stern talks because of you."

Rachel chuckled. "That is why they are so amazing. That was one of the first times that I ever truly felt like someone cared about me. Well, except for the night that these two were created before you walked out on me."

"I'm sorry."

"It's history. Now we have to work to get past it. I have to get to work so that I can support myself and be able to keep my apartment. It will be really hard to bring babies home if they don't have a home to come home to."

"I can help with money."

"No you won't. I'm going to go to work. Thank you for the bagel and orange juice. It was exactly what I needed. I have actually been able to keep everything down today. Keep your fingers crossed that it lasts through the rest of the day. It is getting pretty old."

"I sure will. It will be over soon. You are almost in your second semester. Morning sickness is supposed to be over by then."

Rachel chuckled. "It's trimester, Finn, not semester."

Finn laughed at himself. "Oh yeah. I guess I didn't read as closely as I thought I did."

"You read about it?"

Finn told her, "Yeah. I want to know what is going on. I want to understand what you are going through."

"That is really sweet of you. I need to go or I'm going to be late. You don't have to work today?"

"No. I'm going to meet my brother and his boyfriend for lunch. Then I'm going to call my mom. It wouldn't surprise me if she flew in tomorrow to meet you. She will love you. She is going to hate me for doing this to you. She is going to like you more than me anyway."

"That is not true. You are not a bad guy, Finn. You are just guarded. I just hope you can figure things out before our babies get here. You can hurt me all you want, but you will NEVER hurt my children."

"I would mean to hurt you or the babies. I am so sorry."

"We will figure this out, I guess. We have six months to get things together. Then these babies will come first."

"I agree."

"Good. I guess I will see you around. I'm off to work." Rachel went off to work. Finn went to get ready for his brunch with Kurt and Blaine.


Finn was sitting at the normal table he sat at when he met Kurt and Blaine for lunch. He wasn't sure how he was going to tell his brother that he was going to be an uncle. Finn and Kurt had an interesting relationship. They weren't extremely close, but they were always there for each other. This was something that Finn knew he would really need his brother for.

Kurt and Blaine came walking over. Kurt asked, "What is this lunch for? We haven't really seen much of you lately. You sounded upset on the phone."

Finn lowered his head as the two men sat down. He said, "I might as well get it over with. I got a girl pregnant. I ruined all of her future plans."

"Wait a second! You are going to be a dad! I didn't know you were seeing anyone."

"I'm not."

"Explain."

"That girl, Rachel that Puck and Quinn sat me up with three months ago is the mother. I was really lonely and she was there. I feel terrible, but I will never regret my children. I am going to be there for them. Rachel and I are going to work to have a friendship so we can raise them together. I am going to take responsibility for what I have done. I will never say they are a mistake though. Things happen for a reason."

"Children?"

"She is pregnant with twins. She is going to be three months next week."

"Oh, brother."

"I know. I was stupid, but Rachel is going to be an amazing mother. I just hate that I took so much from her future."

"So her name is Rachel?"

"Rachel Berry. She is originally from Ohio. She had two fathers and they died in an accident. She is literally all on her own and I just made things a million times worse."

"You are going to take care of her, right?"

"Of course. She is the mother of my children. I have every intention of making the next six months going as smoothly as possible."

"That is good. When can I need the mother of my nieces or nephews?"

"She is really shy and backward. I don't know when you will get to meet her. She is nervous of what everyone is going to think of her because of the situation."

"As I see it, it is all your fault. I would really like to meet her."

Finn rolled his eyes. "Thanks for that, bro. I want you to meet her, too."

"Good. Make it happen soon. I want to see what this girl is all about and what she was even thinking getting in a situation like this with you of all people."

"Thanks. Not that I don't feel bad enough as it is. You are just making it so much better. Way to support me, bro."

Kurt said, "I'm sorry. I know this is hard for you, but I thought you were smarter than that."

Finn stood up. "Stop! I'm just a screw up. I always ruin things for everyone. I know you hate that I am your brother. I wish I could be the brother you want me to be and the man that Rachel really deserves to be the father of her babies, but I'm just Finn. There isn't anything I can do about that. I guess I shouldn't have called you guys here. I just thought you would help me." Finn couldn't stop the tears of disappointment that he had.

Blaine stopped him, "Finn, it's all going to be okay. You are going to be a great dad. You are a great guy. You have made mistakes, but everyone does. No one is perfect. Don't be so down on yourself. Just worry about taking care of your children and their mother. See where that takes you."

Finn smirked. "Thank you Blaine. I'm sorry that I ruined your day. I'm just going to head back to my apartment and face the wrath of my mother when I call her. I just wanted to tell the two of you first because I thought you would be more understanding. I guess I was wrong. Blaine, thank you for caring."

Kurt just pouted like a child as Finn walked away. He couldn't get himself to lie to him. He was making a huge mistake with his life and he couldn't just make him believe that everything was going to turn out perfectly like in the movies.


Finn was sitting on his couch. He sighed and dialed his mother's number. Carole answered, "Hello?"

Finn smiled when he heard his mother's happy tone. She said, "Hey mom."

"Finn! How is my baby? I miss you so much. I'm going to make Burt take me to New York soon to see you and Kurt. I miss you boys something awful."

"I miss you too, mom. Mom, I have to tell you something. I know you aren't going to be very happy with me, but it has always been the two of us against the world. I don't want to hide anything from you."

"What is the matter Finny? You are worrying me."

"Mom, I'm going to be a dad. I met a great girl. We had a night where we didn't think of what could come of things. Things got awkward and I didn't really talk to her for three months. I found out last night that she is pregnant with twins, my twins."

Carole sniffled. "Oh, honey."

Finn was in tears as he heard the disappointment he had caused his mother. He said, "I'm so sorry, mom. I'm so sorry. I never want to make you regret me being your son. I'm going to take responsibility and take care of my children. I'm going to take care of Rachel as much as she will let me. She is pretty independent and won't let many people in."

"Oh, Finn. I could never regret you. I love you so much. I hate that you are going through this, but I have always known you would be a wonderful father. Those babies are going to be lucky to have you for a daddy."

"Thanks, mom."

"Of course. I want to meet the mother of my grandchildren. Tell me about her."

"Her name is Rachel Berry. She is new to New York. She is in a performing arts school. She is shy and backward, but she has such a big heart. She is Jewish and vegan."

"She sounds wonderful, son. What is your relationship with her?"

"I'm not her favorite person right now. I think I annoy her most of the time. We are making headway though. She is actually talking to me now. That is an improvement. We are going to work to be friends so that we can raise our kids on a civil note."

"You care for her, don't you?"

"She is the mother of my children. Of course I do."

"You know what I mean. You are falling in love with her. I can tell and I haven't even met her yet."

Finn chuckled. "I don't know about that. I just wanted you to know that you are going to be a grandma. I hope you aren't too disappointed in me."

"Finn, I wish things were different, but things happen for a reason. It is all going to work out. Oh, stop this grandma nonsense. I am too young to be nana or Mimi."

Finn smiled. "Yes ma'am. Thanks, mom."

"No problem, Finny. Keep me up to date. I will be coming to visit soon. I expect to meet Rachel then."

"I'll do what I can. I love you, mom."

"I love you, too." The two of them said goodbye and hung up.


Finn was sitting on his couch watching a football game when there was a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door to see Rachel standing there with tearstains running down her cheeks. He automatically thought the worst and thought something was wrong with the babies. He asked, "What is the matter, Rach?"

Rachel fell in his arms in sobs. He held her and tried to get her to calm down so he could find out what was wrong. He didn't know what it was, but he knew it was bothering her. He was going to live to what he had promised himself and help Rachel in every possible way he could. He was willing to wait for her to talk to him about her problem.
