Forced To Marry But Not To Love
Ch 12: Gender
14th February 2012
Rachel's POV
This was it! We were going to find out the gender of our baby today and as a start on getting to know each other, Shelby had agreed to come with Finn and me to the appointment. I was hoping for a girl and I knew Finn was hoping for a boy so it really couldn't happen both ways unless I had twins but I knew Finn would be happy either way and so would I. Unlike the nervousness of last time I was super excited for this appointment! I would like to be able to name my baby so that I don't have to refer to it as it all the time. Finn was practically bouncing in his seat (still maintaining the perfect husband role and holding my hand though). The nurse poked her head through the door. "Rachel Hudson?" she asked. "Yeah that's me". "The doctor's ready for you". We followed her into the room where I quickly changed into the gown they had provided. "Hudsons, are you ready to find out the gender of your baby". "Yes" we both said in turn. She turned to my mom and said "We haven't met, I'm Dr Simms, Rachel's doctor". "Shelby Corcoran, her mother, nice to meet you". "And you". Dr Simms sat down and applied the gel to my stomach, not as bad this time but I still held tightly onto Finn's hand! She did the same to the scanner and then yet again the wonderful sound of the heartbeat filled the room. Wait a minute… there were two I heard I swear. I was just about to ask the doctor about this when she said "It looks like you're having twins- sometimes one baby hides behind the other. And their genders- you're having two little baby girls. "Finny did you hear that, two girls" I looked behind me but Finn was no longer there- it appeared he'd passed out around the time the doctor mentioned twins. "Could you get someone to see to that?" I asked. "Certainly Mrs Hudson, happens with new fathers all the time". Me and mom both laughed at that, between her congratulating me on the girls as the doctor left to get someone to help Finn.
Finn's POV
It felt like someone had just knocked a hammer through my head. I looked round and this didn't look like Rach's doctor's office. "Hey there, you came round". "How long was I out for?" "Oh only about an hour or so, you passed out when the doctor told us we were having twins". "Oh, yeah about that aren't you freaking out". "Quite the opposite actually, I'm excited to be having two girls- especially as they're your daughters- don't worry I got a picture of them for us". She handed me an ultrasound photo and I could clearly make out our two girls. "I feel stupid for fainting". "Aww I thought it was cute" she said kissing me and ruffling my hair. "I've discharged you so we can leave whenever but I thought you'd want to talk about names for our girls".
"Yeah I like Hope as a girls name. Hope Marie Hudson does that sound good to you?" I ask Rach.
"Hope Marie sounds beautiful." "I'd like to call her sister Isabella Caroline Hudson, what do you think of that?" Rach asks me.
"Hope Marie and Isabella Caroline sound perfect and mom will be thrilled".
"Well your mom's amazing and I thought she should be honoured".
"Have I told you how much I love you today" I say to her.
"You have now" she says and pulls me in for a kiss.
Review?
A/N Sorry I know it was shorter than usual and I thought that Shelby going with them to the appointment was bonding enough as I wanted this chapter to be Finchel-centric.
NEXT TIME: Finn struggles with Rachel's mood swings, cravings and hormones and the two shop for baby clothes (with Kurt & Shelby).
