Chapter 12

Sorry its late and really short, this may or may not be the last chapter until September but I will update again as soon as I can.

It was about eleven am and Rachel was waiting in the doctor's office by herself patiently waiting for her name to be called. She had been there for about twenty minutes because she didn't want to risk being late. She picked up one of the magazines that were on the table in front of her. She read the front page as it read; Are you sure you're ready for parenthood?

The title didn't seem promising but Rachel flipped to page 21 to find out more about the headline. As she reached the page, she noticed many many charts! These charts were showing how it wasn't a great time to have children in this market.

There were other charts describing how divorce was more likely once there were children involved and loss of money, but she didn't want that affecting her decision to have children.

"Rachel Hudson, the doctor is ready for you." The nurse said.

Rachel put down the magazine and followed the nurse into one of the rooms. She walked in and saw the doctor in there waiting to see her.

"Hi Mrs. Hudson, I'm doctor Smith. I'm just going to do a few tests on you and then I should have the results back to you in a bit ok?" The doctor asked.

Rachel got some blood work done, did a urine sample and headed back to the room for and examination.

"So everything looks fine, I'm just going to see the sample you gave me and then in about ten minutes I'll have the results for you ok?" she asked.

"Yup no problem." Rachel answered waiting on the examination bed.

Ten minutes later the doctor came back in with the results. "Mrs. Hudson I have some great news, you're pregnant!" the doctor said happily.

"Oh my god! Are you serious? There's a baby inside of me?" Rachel asked tears filling her eyes. She couldn't help but get emotional. "Wait, how far along am I?" she asked the doctor.

"You're about three weeks so it is still early but everything is looking good so far. I recommend that you wait to tell everybody until you head into your second trimester, just in case." The doctor smiled at her and Rachel smiled back.

"Duly noted." Rachel answered. She left the office and headed home. She had a few hours before she had to tell Finn that she was pregnant. But first she had to think of a way to tell him.

Finn came home at around 4:20pm considering he had band practice for the first time with these students and was greeted by Rachel at the front door. She gave him a kiss and then asked him about his day, which seemed to take up most of their time.

The first band practice of the year always seems to be the longest even though he was only informing the students on what is to be expected throughout the year. While Finn was talking, she was in the kitchen cooking a special dinner. She had decided that she would tell him over dinner which is why she was cooking his favourite meal.

"Babe do you need help with anything?" Finn asked leaning over the kitchen counter.

"No honey, you relax you had an exhausting day at work today." She answered.

"Well how was your day baby, how did the doctors go?" and there it was, the question she feared he would ask her before she was ready.

"Um my day was fine. The doctors went well but I'll tell you more over dinner ok?" she asked him.

Rachel hadn't actually had an ok day though, after she got back from the doctors, she decided to have lunch but what she made she wasn't able to eat because she was vomiting.

Another hour passed by and dinner was finally ready. She placed both plates on the table and gave her husband a beer. Rachel turned off the stove and sat down across from her husband.

He dug into his food as she just picked at it; she found out a little too late that she was not hungry. "Honey, is everything alright?" Finn asked her. He had a worried look on his face.

"Everything's fine. I need to tell you something though. When I went to the doctors today I found out some news." Rachel didn't get to finish her sentence before Finn cut in.

"Babe are you ill? Is everything going to be alright?" he asked panicking; only thinking of the worst case scenario.

"No baby I'm fine the news is great actually. Well, you're going to be a father." She said smiling at her husband.

"Wait so you're telling me that you're pregnant, with my child?" he asked dumbfounded. He couldn't contain his joy. "Oh My God WE'RE GOING TO BE PARENTS!" Finn jumped up and ran over to his wife, picking her up and spinning her around.

He kissed her on the lips and then whispered to her. "I'm the luckiest man in the world, I love you so much! And our baby too!" he crouched down and put a hand on her stomach; he lifted the shirt and kissed just below where her belly button was. "I love you so much my little baby, I can't wait to meet you. I know you can't hear me yet but you have the most amazing mother in the world." He said.

"This baby's daddy is pretty awesome himself." Rachel added.

I'm so so so so sorry that it is so short and so late. I may not be able to update for the rest of the summer and I just wanted to make sure I left you guys with one more chapter, even if it was really short. Please show some support and review.
