Rachel was three months pregnant at Christmas time. She was feeling rather lonely seeing as it was the first Christmas without being with her dads, even though they were Jewish and didn't celebrate it but they had made it really clear that they didn't want her anymore. She was still glad to have a place to live with the Hudson/Hummel household and she felt very welcome there.

It was three days before Christmas and Rachel was doing a project that was due after Christmas break and she was getting it done so that she had the rest of the break to relax.

As she finished, she got up and went to the kitchen to get a snack. When she got there, Finn was standing at the microwave warming up his lunch.

"Hey babe, you done with your project?" he asked when he turned around and noticed that she was there.

Rachel nodded and smiled before remembering something that she had been meaning to tell Finn.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you! Kurt, Mercedes and a couple of us are going caroling tonight if you want to come… It'll be fun."

He thought for a moment about it. "Rachel…you know I love you but I don't really want to sing to people that I don't know…" He shrugged.

Rachel crossed her arms. "But Finn…you'll have fun…"

She was practically begging him. She didn't really want to go without him. They had been so busy and exhausted that they hadn't had much time with each other.

He walked over to her. "If you really want me to go, then I will."

Rachel grinned brightly. "Great! We're leaving at seven." She kissed him softly on the cheek.

Finn chuckled as she grabbed a cookie from the jar and sat down at the table.

"What are you laughing at Finn?" The pregnant teen asked.

He shrugged and smiled. "You're just so cute."

That night, Rachel was looking for something to wear but wasn't having any luck.

At six forty-five Finn came upstairs to see if she was ready to go, only to find clothes from her suitcase strewn all over the ground.

"Uh, Rach?" He asked, chuckling under his breath at the aggravated diva.

She sighed angrily. "Nothing fits, Finn!" she yelled softly, giving him a death glare.

Finn sighed softly. "Rachel…I'm sure something in here fits."

Rachel looked up from going through another outfit. "Yeah, a t-shirt fits! I'm not wearing a t-shirt to go caroling!" She growled.

Just as Finn was about to speak, Tina- one of Rachel's friends knocked on the side of her door.

"Hey Rachel…are you ready to go? Kurt wanted to know" Tina asked to which Rachel replied "Uh- you know what…just go without me. I can't go without anything to wear so…"

Rachel continued to go through her clothes as Finn whispered to Tina, "Just go ahead, we'll catch up."

Tina nodded and then responded to Rachel's dilemma. "Rachel, I have some extra clothes if you want to borrow them…I'm staying here tonight and I know that I'm a little bigger than you so…"

Rachel looked up and smiled. "That would be great Tina! Thank you so much!"

Tina smiled and led her into Kurt's room where her bag was.

As the two girls left, Finn shook his head and mumbled to himself.

"Women…"

The rest of the night went pretty smoothly…other than Kurt and Rachel arguing a few times about what songs to sing.

When they got home at around eight thirty, Rachel had almost lost her voice and she was exhausted.

"I'm going to go watch a movie…anyone want to come?" She asked, wanting to watch some of Funny Girl before she actually went to bed.

Finn took off his coat and put it on the coat rack. "I will…" he smiled.

The other three, Mercedes, Kurt and Tina all declined, saying that they had already planned to watch Twilight upstairs in Kurt's room.

As the three went upstairs, Rachel got the movie and put it into the player while Finn got blankets for them.

They then sat down on the couch, cuddled up to one another and hit the play button.

While they watched the opening credits, Rachel looked up at Finn with soft eyes. "Thank you." She whispered.

He looked at her with a confused look. "For what…?" he asked.

"For letting me stay here, for being supportive…" She smiled.

Finn pressed a kiss to her head. "Of course, Rachel."

The couple got halfway through the movie until they fell asleep, dreaming about each other.

The following morning, Kurt, Mercedes and Tina walked down to stairs to find Finn and Rachel curled up together sleeping.

"Awh! They're so cute!" whispered Tina, hoping not to wake them. Mercedes added "They are going to be together forever…It's so cute."

Kurt came around to look at them and rolled his eyes. "You don't see it every day. It gets sickening after a while." He looked at them for a moment, then pulled out his phone and took a quick picture.

To that, Finn woke up slowly. "Woah, where did you guys come from?" He asked sleepily, rubbing his eyes.

The three high schoolers stepped back and went on to the kitchen for breakfast.

Finn wiped the remaining sleep from his eyes and tried to get up before remembering that Rachel was asleep, nuzzled on top of him.

He shook her softly until her eyes flickered opened gently. "Good morning, Rachel" Finn greeted.

She smiled and replied with "Good Morning" before standing up slowly, letting Finn stand up as well.

The teenage couple walked into the kitchen as Kurt was making French toast, while the other two sat at the table talking about school.

"Good morning, lovebirds." Kurt welcomed as they strode into the kitchen, Rachel feeling nauseous with the smell of breakfast.

Rachel smiled at Kurt before a wave of nausea ran over her and she ran to the bathroom.

Finn ran after her to make sure that she was alright and Kurt sat there chuckling.

"They are pretty cute, huh?"

Two days later was Christmas and Rachel woke up early. She wanted to help Carole out in the kitchen for the day so that the family would have a good meal for lunch.

As she crept downstairs she saw not Carole, but Burt in the kitchen.

"Hello, Mr. Hummel, Merry Christmas" Rachel greeted.

"Rachel, you have known me for years, you can call me Burt." He replied. "And Merry Christmas to you too."

Rachel smiled and got out a piece of bread to make toast.

Burt turned around from across the kitchen. "You know Rachel, you are like another daughter to me. I know it's tough being away from your family during the holidays…but just think of us as your second family." He mentioned, looking at her nicely.

Rachel smiled sweetly and responded, "Thank you, Mr- uh Burt. I feel at home here. I know this isn't a good situation but I feel like this is right."

He nodded and went back into the living room to watch sports highlights on television as she finished making her toast.

As she spread butter on her toasted bread, she was startled by a set of arms wrapping around her waist.

"Oh my God, Finn!" she shrieked. He chuckled at her and then kissed her softly on the lips.

"Merry Christmas Rach" He added, smiling.

Rachel smirked back and replied "Merry Christmas" and continued to make her breakfast.

When the rest of the family came down from their rooms, they decided to open their presents before Rachel and Carole began cooking.

The rest of the day ran smoothly. There were no fires to be had of the cooking and everyone was happy, even Rachel.

At the end of the night, Finn came into Rachel's room to find her on her laptop watching herself sing. She had put up a lot of videos on MySpace in the past few years but she had stopped at the end of sophomore year because her page was getting a lot of hate.

"Whatcha doing?" Finn asked as he walked into the room.

She looked up from her computer and smiled. "Oh, just looking at old videos."

Finn nodded and took her computer away from her, setting it down on the floor.

"I uh- wanted to give you your Christmas present. I- I mean I know you don't celebrate it or anything- uh but I wanted to give you this anyway."

She gave him a questionable look and watched as he took a box out of his pocket.

"Finn, you really didn't have to…" She responded.

He nodded "Yeah I did…" he smiled as he gave the box to her.

She smirked. "And why is that?"

He sighed and paused before adding. "Because you're like- like the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. And I feel like I've kinda found like the one."

Rachel giggled. "You don't know that I'm the one Finn…we're juniors in high school."

He chuckled back. "Just open the box."

Rachel nodded as she slowly tore the wrapper off of the box, until all that was left was the box itself.

Finn gave her an encouraging look as she gradually exposed the inside of the box, uncovering a necklace. The necklace had a gold chain with a gold charm on it that looked like a star.

"Oh Finn…" Rachel said, smiling at the gorgeous necklace. "It's gorgeous."

He smiled proudly. "Here-" He said as he took it out of the box and put it around her neck.

"Uh- I know that you love stars so I thought that this would be perfect for you."

Rachel smiled brightly. "It's perfect. Thank you so much." She replied before leaning in to give him a soft kiss.

Finn held the kiss with Rachel for a moment, smiling into it before pulling away.

"I love you" he added, smiling like a child.

She giggled softly. "I love you too, Finn."

On New Years Eve, Finn and Rachel stayed at home to watch the ball drop on television while the rest of the family went out and did their own thing.

At a commercial break, Finn began talking. "So, do you want to start talking about names for the baby?" he asked, smiling.

Rachel grinned brightly and clapped. "Yes! Do you want to hear my ideas?" she asked excitedly.

Finn chuckled at her child-like excitement and nodded, waiting to hear her ideas.

"So, I was thinking for a boy…Christopher for your father or Bryson."

Finn nodded, liking the choices.

"But then for a girl, I had a few more. At first I wanted Elphaba…but then I kinda decided no because it was a little weird, but still cute. So my new choices are Delila, Payton or Paige. I like them all."

Finn nodded once again. "I like those Rach, we'll see once we find out if it's a boy or girl. But I really really like your choices." She smiled as he leaned towards her, giving her a passionate kiss.

After a few moments (more like minutes if you asked Finn), the teen couple turned their attention back to the television where they saw the ball dropping and people counting down.

Finn and Rachel looked at each other and began counting down out loud.

"6…5…4…..3…2…1" They kissed again, smiling into the kiss. As they pulled away, they looked into each others eyes.

"Happy New Year, babe." Finn said.

Rachel giggled. "Happy New Year to you too."

And they knew that it was going to be a hard, yet happy year.
