Hello, again! Here is the last part of your double update! Did you all enjoy Chapter 7? Was it everything you expected and more? I hope Chapter 8 is to your liking as well! I have some wonderful news! As you may or may not know, I have decided to have fifteen chapters total for this story. In Chapter 11, not only do Finn and Rachel get back together, but she also tells him about Seth. Of course, not everything can be rainbows and butterflies, and the circumstances in which she tells Finn about Seth aren't the happiest. I won't say what happens, but I'm pretty sure you won't be very happy with me. But do not fear! It isn't anything absolutely terrible, since we all know this story has to have a happy ending. But this wonderful little fanfiction doesn't end with this story; no, I have decided to make a sequel! I have an idea and a general idea of the events going to occur, all I need is your approval! Maybe once I reach the end you all will be more willing to root for the sequel…anyways, the working title is 'The Event' and will follow directly after the events that occur at the end of 'It Only Takes 5 Weeks to Fall in Love'. I hope you all will be interested! Basically, as Rachel and Finn explore their relationship with some new revelations, a life-threatening obstacle is thrown in their path and although things turn out to be okay physically, one of them is left damaged emotionally, causing their relationship to begin to fall apart. Does it sound interesting enough? I hope so! Anyways, here is Chapter 8! This chapter is written to the song 'Breathe' by Michelle Branch.

Rachel instantly shot out of bed, grabbing her clothes (which were scattered across the floor) and began redressing as she started out of the room. She paused, glancing back at Finn's sleeping form, his arm still stretched over her side of the bed. If this wasn't proof of her remaining love for Finn, then she didn't know what could be. With her hand lingering on the doorframe, she stood for just a few moments, watching him sleep as her heart raced. She lifted her other hand from her side and blew a soft kiss in his direction before making her way towards the front door, leaving the house, and climbing in her car, driving away at a moderate speed.

The clock in Kurt's car read 6:32; she hoped that Sam, Kurt, or Blaine hadn't awoken from their much-needed sleep, or she would have some explaining to do. Her mind kept thinking of the worst-case scenario regarding her recent realization. Had it not been for Priscilla's text message, she would have never been reminded of what could happen if you acted carelessly.

She pulled into Kurt's driveway at 6:43. Quickly, she shut off the engine and grabbed the keys and darted inside the house. Everything was dark and far too quiet for anyone to be awake. Rachel let out a sigh of relief before setting the keys down on one of the end tables. She headed off to her room, closing the door behind her and instantly collapsing on her bed. Rachel definitely wasn't tired; she was wide-awake. She stood up quickly and turned to her side, glancing down at her stomach. Obviously, if she were pregnant, it wouldn't show only moments after doing the deed, but Rachel could already imagine a baby bump, the morning sickness, the cravings…it was a nightmare. There was the slightest chance that she might be overreacting a bit, but Rachel knew this was all in a predictable manner.

Last time she and Finn had conceived, the first symptoms she developed were the morning sickness and food cravings. It hadn't occurred to Rachel at first, but once it dawned on her, she had rushed to the nearest supermarket in New York and bought a cheap pregnancy test, taking it as soon as she entered her apartment. After five minutes of waiting and pacing the room with her heart racing, the results came back. And it was positive. This was about two weeks after 'doing the nasty'.

So Rachel would have to do something very un-Rachel-like: wait.

-glee!-

And after a week, just as she feared, Rachel developed a minor case of the stomach flu. Or, that's what she told her friends. In reality, she believed it was morning sickness, one of the very first signs of a pregnancy. How could she have been so careless? What was she thinking at the time?

"You sure you don't need to see a doctor?" Kurt asked for the tenth time that day as Rachel brushed her teeth nonchalantly. She sighed, washed out her mouth and glared at Kurt, walking straight past him.

"They'll tell me what I already know is true." Rachel argued, making her way to the kitchen.

"Which is…?" Kurt prompted.

You're pregnant. "I have the stomach flu, Kurt. Nothing big; I'll get over it soon, you'll see." Rachel lied, hoping she would be able to convince herself as well. Maybe she was just overreacting just a bit…maybe she had given herself a false diagnosis. Perhaps she really did just have the stomach flu. After all, she hadn't had any food cravings lately…or any other strange indication she could link to her first pregnancy.

"Finn texted me earlier." Kurt began smoothly. Rachel's head shot up.

"He did?" She asked hopefully.

"He wants to talk to you." He paused. Rachel subconsciously began to nod her head.

"Okay…I mean, I can't." She turned away and continued toward the kitchen, grabbing herself an apple and walking back over to her bedroom.

"Rachel, can you please stop for just a moment?" Kurt asked exasperatedly behind her. "You're moving at a mile a minute making it nearly impossible to talk to you."

"The exercise could do me well." Rachel argued, not slowing down.

"Oh, yes, 'cause you've definitely gained so much weight." Rachel came to halt, spinning around with a worried look in her eyes.

"I have?" She whispered, glancing at her stomach.

"No, of course not!" Kurt exclaimed. "You're as skinny as a twig, as always. Jeez, Rachel, are you okay? You've been acting weird ever since the party. Did something happen that night?" Rachel blinked and swallowed, turning away.

"N-no." Rachel stammered. Had Finn told Kurt in that text? She didn't think he was one to kiss and tell. "What makes you think something happened?" Kurt held her gaze for a moment before letting out a sigh of disbelief.

"That's it, I give up. I don't have to try to make sense of your behavior and help you feel better. I can tell when you're lying, Rachel, and I know you are now. Figure things out on your own." Kurt turned away and started off to the living room. Rachel watched him go and unexpectedly felt the hot tears rolling down her cheeks. Why was she crying? Damn, were these the mood swings starting to kick in? Kurt slowly turned around, raising an eyebrow as Rachel hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Okay, I know that may have been a bit harsh…but is it really worth crying over?" Kurt asked, taking a few steps in her direction. "I'm sorry, Rachel."

"It's okay." She smiled. "I-I don't even know w-why I started crying."

"You sure you're feeling alright?" Kurt asked in skeptical voice.

"Fine." Rachel mumbled, grabbing the apple. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an apple to eat."

"You just puked your guts out, in my bathroom, I might add." Kurt called after her. Rachel stopped, lowering her gaze to the floor.

"I know." She said softly, walking off to her bedroom with the apple in her hand.

-glee!-

Although Kurt insisted she needed her rest, Rachel disagreed; she needed to take her mind off all the complications in her life for at least an hour. She decided she would spend some time with her dads.

Before she left, she received a text message from Finn. She stared at her phone for what seemed like forever but was really only a couple of seconds. There were two options: view now or view later. Rachel clicked the 'view later' option and set off to her dads' house with an uneasy feeling already creeping into her stomach. Yes, it would be a fun day.

Thankfully, traffic wasn't bad and Rachel made it to her dads' in good time. Before she walked inside their house, however, she received a call from Finn. Rachel watched it ring, staring at it, unable to bring herself to open it and answer the phone. She couldn't talk to Finn, not after what had happened last week. She let the call go straight to voicemail. She would listen to his message later; she needed to relax and take her mind off of Seth, Finn, and her possible pregnancy.

Rachel pulled out her copy of the house key and opened the door, a smile spreading across her face. Although it had only been a week since she had been here, she couldn't believe that she had gone from being in this very house everyday to barely even visiting. She glanced at the pictures on the small table at the entrance, the smile slowly fading away. Sure, there were pictures of her and her dads at various locations around the nation from vacations, but there was still her prom picture. At least it didn't bother her anymore; it just reminded her of the problems in her life, and how Finn was linked to all of them.

"Hello?" She called into the house, her voice echoing. She glanced at the time on her phone; only four thirty-two. Hiram was at work and Leroy was probably driving home. Rachel decided to wait for him to return so she would at least have some quality time with him. She continued through the house until she came to her room. She came to a halt and stared at the door, her hand twitching towards the handle. Her curiousity finally got the best of her and she opened the door. A smile appeared on her face; her room looked exactly like it had when she had left.

She walked inside and took a seat on her bed, pulling out a photo album she found tossed at the edge of her bed. She opened it, grinning wider as she flipped through the pictures. As she looked closer at the pictures of her when she was little, she realized that Seth had actually inherited some of her looks. She still thought he looked too much like Finn, though.

Her cell phone began ringing again a few moments later. Rachel sighed and closed the photo album, reaching into her pocket for her cell phone. She wasn't surprised to see it was Finn yet again; Rachel silenced her phone and set it on the bed next to her. She opened her purse, grimacing at the amount of clutter she had stashed away. It had been quite a few months since she had last cleaned it out. Her heart skipped a beat as she ran across a picture; she knew what picture this was. She reached inside and pulled it out, smiling as she put it into the light. It was none other then the last ultrasound picture she had taken of Seth. Rachel grinned; maybe she was just hallucinating, but Rachel swore even there, Seth looked like Finn.

She placed the picture under her pillow, making it so half of the picture was visible. If her dads ever came in the room, they would find the picture, and then they would know they had a grandson. Rachel smiled, stood up, and smiled softly; this was how she wanted it to be. She didn't want to be keeping secrets from her dads, but she also didn't want to tell them straight out after keeping it a secret for so long.

Rachel stood in the doorway, letting her mind drift back to Finn. She pulled out her cell phone, checking her inbox and pulling up the text message he had sent her.

Finn: we need 2 talk. Please txt or call me back.

Rachel then checked her voicemail; she wasn't in the mood to reply Finn. He had left two messages that day. In total, Finn had left eleven voicemails that past week. Rachel had listened to them all (except the two most recent) but had yet to return any of the calls. She clicked on the first message and began to listen to it.

"Hey." Finn began. "You've been avoiding me, and we really need to talk. What happened that night was something, and I know you're probably mad but…the silent treatment isn't exactly the way to handle it. 'Kay, that was it. Call me back." Rachel rolled her eyes and deleted the message, moving onto the next one.

"Look, I know you're mad and everything, or whatever. I wouldn't know since you haven't called me back. We need to talk, Rachel, and if you don't call or text or whatever soon, I'll just go to Kurt's and talk to you face to face. You can't avoid me there." There was a slight pause. "Okay, that was kind of harsh, but you get the picture. Call me back, or text, or…whatever." Rachel sighed and deleted this message as well before heading to her living room and taking a seat on the couch.

She knew what she was doing; she was pushing Finn away, just like she had when she had been pregnant with Seth. Sure, she was broken up with Finn for the majority of her nine months, but two of those months she was in a long-distance relationship with him. She never told him about the pregnancy, and hardly ever called or texted him. Rachel sighed and placed her head in her hands. She knew what they said; old habits die hard. If only this habit disappeared along with the end of her relationship.

The front door opened and Rachel's head snapped up. She stood up to greet her dad (a bit too quickly) and felt a new wave of nausea hit her. She groaned and ignored the uncomfortable feeling before making her way to the doorway.

"Hello, Daddy." She called as she rushed to the entrance (not the smartest idea, since her nausea only became more evident as she increased her speed). Leroy let out a laugh and wrapped his daughter in a tight embrace.

"Rachel! I wasn't expecting you at all. You frightened me." He grinned and pulled away. "What brings you here? You do know your father isn't going to be home till much later, right?"

"Of course." Rachel smiled. "Well, I remember now. When I first came, I forgot that you two were at work. But I knew you'd be home soon, so I stuck around just to say hello." Leroy smiled.

"You're going to leave?"

"I'll come back and visit." Rachel promised, beginning to feel more uncomfortable the longer she stood.

"Alright." Leroy sighed. "Are you able to come back tomorrow? Both Hiram and I are taking tomorrow off." Rachel smiled, unable to ignore the hopeful glint in her father's eyes.

"Definitely." Rachel agreed softly. "I'll come by tomorrow." They said their goodbyes, and Rachel made her way to the front door, pausing in front of it. "Daddy?" She called.

"Yes, Rachy?" He replied, turning back to face her.

"Do you ever go in my room?" Rachel asked hesitantly.

"Every now and then, yes. It's a nice way to reminisce." Leroy smiled. "Why?"

"No reason." Rachel smiled back, waved goodbye, and stepped outside the door. There was just one more stop she needed to make before she returned to Kurt's. As she continued down the walkway, her cell phone began ringing again. With a sigh, Rachel checked the caller ID. It was Finn. She groaned; would Finn ever get a clue? For a heartbeat, Rachel considered answering it. But as the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach returned, she was reminded as to why she was pushing Finn away. In a hurried manner, Rachel climbed in her car and set off to her next location. Her phone chimed, signaling she had yet another new voicemail. In the next moment, it began ringing again, saying she had an incoming text message from Finn. She put her phone on silent and continued to her location.

-glee!-

"So you went to the supermarket?" Kurt queried. "Hm, odd. Did you buy anything interesting?" Kurt peeked over Rachel's shoulder as she hustled through the house in hopes of catching a glimpse at the items she bought. Rachel glared at him and sped up so he wouldn't be able to see.

"Nothing for you." Rachel replied, setting down the bag of recently purchased items on her bed and made a beeline for the bathroom. Kurt followed her until he realized what was about to happen. With a frustrated groan, he left Rachel alone to do her thing, and silently prayed that this stomach flu would pass soon.

When Rachel exited the bathroom, she cast a glare in Kurt's direction. "You're not the only one who wants my stomach flu to pass. I'm the one doing all the throwing up." Rachel huffed, crossing her arms, the sickly feeling finally passing.

"Yes, but I'm the one who has to listen to it." Kurt argued. "And it isn't very pleasing to hear."

"Whatever." Rachel mumbled, making her way to her room and closing the door behind her. Besides some new clothes and food that would please her appetite, there had been one thing Rachel bought that she would rather Kurt (or anyone, for that matter) find out about. She pulled it out and inhaled sharply; it was none other then a pregnancy test. She exhaled and opened the box, reading the instructions carefully to make sure there was nothing she was missing, and made her quietly to the bathroom once more. Thankfully, Kurt and Blaine were watching reruns of 'Project Runway', so they were distracted.

Rachel closed the door behind her, closed her eyes, and took the test just the way it was instructed, letting the faint and muffled sounds of 'Project Runway' distract her. The cheapest test was one where results wouldn't be known until ten minutes after the test was taken. So Rachel sat on the tile floor and folded her knees against her chest, trembling and praying desperately that the results were negative.

These ten minutes of waiting were pure hell; the seemed like an eternity. She closed her eyes and for a brief moment, imagined herself wrapped in Finn's arms. She could hear Seth laughing in the background, and in her arms was a newborn baby. The picture looked so perfect…so perfectly wrong. She and Finn were broken up; he didn't know about Seth, and he couldn't know about him. No matter how much she wanted it, Rachel couldn't be together with Finn, and she couldn't be pregnant.

Rachel glanced at her cell phone for the time, standing up and heading over to the counter with a light feeling in her head. Her heart was racing faster then ever, and she was trembling almost uncontrollably. With a shaky hand, she reached for the test and glanced at the small screen. She held her breath as the results appeared. And then the hot tears began to course down her cheeks.

It was positive.

Once again, I reassure you, Rachel is not pregnant. Yes, the results are positive, but these cheap tests do make mistakes. And because Rachel is overreacting, she has been able to convince herself that she is, in fact, pregnant. The mind is a very powerful thing; it is able to convince you of anything. In the next chapter, she visits a doctor alongside a friend (not Finn) and he tells her once and for all that she is not pregnant and tells her she had a hysterical pregnancy. So do not worry; another baby will not be thrown into the picture to complicate the Finchel relationship! Please review, my wonderful and dedicated readers!
