A/N: Thanks so much for all the reviews! I'm going to try to be more regular in my updates from now on. Bill is playing a much bigger role in this chapter, and I hope it doesn't get me flamed for what you're about to see.

Chapter Ten

Noah wrinkled his nose as he noticed the puddle slowly forming at his cousin's feet. "Gross..." he said, backing away slowly.

Bill looked to his sons. "You two, go boil water and get me some towels," he said, pointing to the kitchen. He ran to the bathroom sink and washed his hands quickly. Bill was a trained OB/GYN nurse (fortuitous? Yes. Moving on.) and had delivered several babies, including his own three sons.

Jesse nodded, dragging his brother out of the room. "You're embarrassing her," he said into Noah's ear."You can be such an ass sometimes."

April pulled the sheet off of the back of the couch and draped it over the seat. "Bring her over here," she said to Shelby and Judy.

Rachel started breathing in short bursts as she walked to the couch with her mothers' guidance. She rubbed her middle, feeling the contractions that she'd thought were just gas or muscle spasms before. She leaned back on the pillows that Shelby propped behind her.

April looked over at Quinn who was wringing her hands helplessly. "Come with me, honey," she said, taking the teen's hand and leading her to the kitchen.

"No! Wait! Quinn, I need you!" Rachel said, trying to get up off the couch.

Judy and Shelby held her shoulders and rubbed circles into them while also restraining her slightly.

Shelby stroked Rachel's hair. "Let your aunt talk to her for a minute, baby, okay?" she said.

Judy nodded. "Rachel, just breathe,"she said. "We'll get you through this."

Rachel nodded, trying to breathe but finding it difficult. She screamed out as a particularly strong contraction hit her and she leaned forward. "It hurts so much..." she moaned.

"I know, baby," Shelby said.

"You're doing great, Rach," Bill said, stroking her legs. "Hope you don't mind if I take a look?"

Rachel blushed. "Fine first time to meet, eh, Uncle Bill?" she said.

Bill smiled. "I've seen it all," he said, winking. "Want anything for the pain?"

Rachel laughed nervously. "Yeah...anything," she said.

April came back from the kitchen with Quinn in tow. Quinn held out a glass of a funny-colored liquid (something between gray and purple, really) and put it to Rachel's lips.

"Drink, Rachel, sweetheart," Bill said, seeing his wife had mixed her famous painkiller concoction (nothing illegal, mind you, just a little magic).

April put a wet cloth to Rachel's forehead and Judy held it in place. April then went to check on the boys in the kitchen, making sure they didn't burn it down.

Quinn looked at her girlfriend. "Better?" she asked as Rachel had stopped drinking.

Rachel nodded. "Much," she said, smiling.

Quinn set the glass aside and took Rachel's hands in hers, kissing her knuckles. She crouched next to Rachel and kissed her cheek. Rachel smiled at Quinn and leaned her forehead against Quinn's.

Shelby looked at Judy over the girl's heads and smiled.

Bill looked up at Rachel. "Someone's eager to come out," he said, winking. "You're almost fully dilated and I see a dark crown peeking out."

Quinn smiled. "Sounds like you," she said to Rachel.

"That must be Rosie," Rachel said, giggling. "They both talk to me and Rosie is the one who's the most excited to see her other Mommy."

Quinn laughed. "Perfect," she said.

Shelby smiled at her sister. "Quinn and Rachel are calling the babies Rosemary and Sage," she said.

"Oh that's just precious!" April exclaimed.

Judy nodded, stroking her wife's hand. She was still sorry that they'd lost their own baby just a few weeks into the pregnancy and wanted to try again, but was scare for Shelby. "It was one of the few things they agreed on," she said, causing Shelby, Bill, and April to laugh with her.

"We're in the room, you know," Quinn said, smirking at Rachel.

"Quinnie...it's okay," Rachel said, kissing her softly.

"What did you give her? This is too calm to be my Rachel," Quinn said to April.

"You saw what I put into it, kiddo," April said, winking. "Just something that would kick the pain to the curb."

Bill smiled. "It's one hundred percent effective and we use it when I do home births all the time," he said.

Rachel smiled. "It's wonderful, Quinn," she said, stroking her girlfriend's face sleepily.

"Doesn't labor usually take forever?" Quinn asked Bill.

"It can," Bill said. "April did take several hours to deliver the boys. But if the baby is ready, it could be as short as three or four hours."

"The important thing is to make the mommy super-comfortable," April added.

"I am," Rachel said, an almost beatific smile on her face.

"I wish they'd given me that when I delivered," Shelby whispered to Judy.

Judy smiled. "Me too," she said. "Though the epidural was almost as good."

Quinn looked at the adults strangely. "Shouldn't there be a sense of urgency about any of you?" she asked. "We're talking about the mother of MY babies after all."

"Quinnie...calm down," Judy said, raising her eyebrow at her daughter.

"Rachel is fine, Quinn," Bill said, stroking Rachel's middle to feel the positions of the babies. "And the babies will be fine."

Rachel laughed. "Quinnie, don't be so silly," she said. "Uncle Bill is taking care of us just fine."

Quinn huffed. "Fine," she said.

Shelby and Judy exchanged a look and shrugged.

Jesse came out of the kitchen with the tray of sterilized instruments and Noah followed with a tray of hot towels. Noah set the towels down and went to retrieve a mop.

"Thanks, boys," Bill said.

"How's our mommy doing?" Jesse asked, smiling at his cousin and kissing her cheek.

"M fine," Rachel said, smiling groggily at him.

Noah mopped up the mess on the tile floor and put the mop away, going to stand beside his brother. "You look like hell, Rach," he said honestly.

Jesse elbowed his brother hard. "Shut up," he said through gritted teeth.

"You try growing two human beings inside your body sometime," Quinn said, glaring up at Noah.

"No thank you," Noah said, wrinkling his nose.

Rachel giggled. "Noah would kill himself after one cramp!" she said.

Quinn giggled, kissing her cheek.

Several hours later, Noah and Jesse had gone up to bed. April and Judy were in the kitchen making breakfast for the family. Bill, Shelby, and Quinn were still in the living room with Rachel.

"Alright, Rach," Bill said. "Time to push, finally."

Rachel nodded, holding Quinn's hand and pushing. Shelby stood to the side and helped Bill.

Bill guided the first baby's head out and nodded. "Okay, count to ten and push again," he said, holding the little girl's shoulders.

Rachel counted to ten in her head and pushed again, leaning forward and groaning a bit.

Bill grinned, guiding the baby's shoulders and arms out. He held onto her back as her hips and feet followed. "Well hello there, Rosemary," he said, cleaning the baby up and handing Quinn the scissors to cut the chord. Quinn snipped Rosemary's umbilical chord and Shelby wrapped the baby in a pink swaddling blanket.

Rachel lay back and smiled as she heard her baby's first cries. Quinn picked up their first baby and laid her on Rachel's chest. "Hi sweetie," Rachel said, kissing her tiny nose The baby smiled and cooed, waving her hands.

Bill and Shelby grinned to each other.

Rachel gasped. "Your little sister wants to come and play," she said to Rosemary.

Shelby laughed, taking her first granddaughter in her arms. "Come with Grammy," she said, sitting in a chair across the room.

Quinn giggled, kissing Rachel's hand.

Rachel giggled too.

"Get ready to push again, Rachel," Bill said, seeing the second baby.

Rachel nodded, pushing while holding Quinn's hand.

Quinn smiled, stroking Rachel's hand.

Bill chuckled as baby Sage was born much quicker than her sister."You sure Rosie was the eager one?" he asked, cleaning up the slightly smaller baby.

Rachel and Quinn laughed, hearing Sage's first cries.

"She told me she was," Rachel said.

Quinn smiled, cutting the little blonde baby's umbilical chord. "You're my mini-me," she said, kissing Sage's nose.

Rachel grinned, laying back against the pillows as Bill cleaned her up."She looks just like you, Quinn," she said.

Quinn nodded, wrapping up her daughter as Bill showed her. She picked Sage up and held her close. "She does," she said, unable to take her eyes off of Sage.

Shelby grinned, bringing Rosemary back to Rachel. "This little one told me she wants her Mama," she said.

Rachel laughed. "Did you really?" she asked, smiling at the small baby with the head full of dark curls.

Rosemary's only response was to giggle.

Judy came in and smiled at her wife and the girls. "I thought I heard babies," she said.

Shelby nodded, wrapping her arms around Judy and kissing her cheek.

Bill grinned. "Congratulations," he said to Quinn and Rachel.

"Thank you," they said together, smiling at their daughters.

"Breakfast is ready," Judy said, stroking Shelby's side.

Shelby nodded, following Judy into the kitchen.

"Morning, Grandma," April said, smiling at her twin as she dished up the food.

"Very funny, Great-Auntie," Shelby said, laughing as she took her plate.

Judy smirked. "Should I wake the boys?" she asked.

"Bill will get them," April said."And I brought up Noah and Jesse's old bassinet to lay the babies in."

Shelby grinned. "It's darling," she said, looking at the cradle.

Quinn and Rachel came in slowly, each holding a baby.

"Morning Mommies," April said, smiling to her niece and Quinn.

"Morning," Rachel said, yawning as she closed the distance between herself and April. "This is Rosie."

April smiled. "She looks like a Corcoran baby," she said."and so does the adorable little blonde in Quinn's arms."

"See that, Sage?" Quinn said. "Auntie April loves you already."

Sage grinned up at her mother.

"The bassinet is ready for the twins," Shelby said, smiling at the new mothers.

Rachel pouted. "I don't want to let them go," she said.

Judy, April, and Shelby smirked at each other.

"Rach, you need to eat so you can feed them," Shelby said, laughing.

"Oh fine," Rachel said, laying Rosemary in the crib.

Quinn laid Sage next to her sister and smiled as the two babies clasped hands.

"Awwww," Rachel and Quinn said together.

April looked over their shoulders. "Jesse and Noah did that too," she said, grinning. "It's a twin thing."

"What'd we do now?" Noah asked, coming up behind his mother.

"You held Jesse's hand when you were babies," Rachel said.

Kurt and Blaine came up next and snickered behind Noah.

"Hey!" Noah said. "We were damn cute babies!"

"Language, Noah,"Rachel said.

"We were," he insisted.

Kurt and Blaine smiled, both leaning over the bassinet.

"Your babies are adorable," Blaine said to his cousin, stroking Sage's cheek with one finger.

Kurt stroked Rosemary's cheek and nodded. "Looks like Uncle Blaine and Uncle Kurt will have to go shopping this weekend," he said.

"Nothing too expensive, right?" Rachel asked.

Kurt scoffed. "What are godfathers for but to spoil little boys and girls?" he said.

Shelby, April, and Judy laughed.

"Nothing too expensive," Blaine promised.

"Your food's getting cold," April reminded them.

Jesse smiled as Rachel and Quinn turned around. "Hey mommies," he said, giving each of them a hug.

Rachel grinned at her cousin. "You are going to help reign in your little brother and his boyfriend, right?" she said.

Jesse nodded. "Of course," he said. "And the twin, too."

"I won't need it, bro," Noah said, taking a big bite of his breakfast.

Rachel smirked, sitting on one side of Noah as Jesse sat on his other side.

"None of you are going to spoil my grandbabies as much as I will," Judy declared, sitting across from Rachel and the boys.

Shelby laughed. "We'll be too tired to spoil them much, Love," she said.

"Nonsense," Judy said, patting her hand.

"I think Uncle Bill will have you all beat," April said, nodding towards where her husband was standing over the bassinet and admiring the two babies.

Bill shook his head and smiled sheepishly over at his wife. "Come on, honey," he said. "Be fair."

"Nope, no spoiling of the babies," Rachel said firmly.

Quinn snickered. "Says the one who'll do it first."

"I beg your pardon," Rachel said, gasping.

"You heard me, babe," Quinn said, kissing her nose.

"You take that back, Quinn Fabray."

"No way."

The boys snickered.

"Someone needs a nap," Blaine said playfully.

Rachel and Quinn both stuck their tongues out at Blaine and laughed.
