After I had finished curling my hair I reentered the bedroom to find Will exactly where I had left him.

"Will, honey, are you ok?"

He jumped up and turned to me, "Yeah! Just thinking! Ready to go?"

"Yeah, just let me get my purse!" I didn't fully believe that he was ok but decided not to push it. We walked downstairs and out to our rental car. Our drive to Chili's was silent both of us thinking of what was about to happen. As we parked he turned to me.

"Ready?"

"No," I laughed, "but I'm as ready as I'll ever be, so let's go." I made to move out of the car but he wouldn't let go of my hand.

"Why are you so nervous?" he asked concern written all over his face.

"I've never met any guy that I was serious about's parents before." I smiled shyly.

He laughed and kissed my nose. "Well don't worry."

We got out of the car and immediately after we met back up my hand was in his. We walked up to the hostess. "Um, we're here to meet a really big party."

The hostess looked down at her chart, "Well there is a party of 30 in the back room." I nearly choked, covering it up, albeit not so well, with a couple of coughs.

'Yeah, that's probably them," I looked with wide eyes to him and he only smiled nervously.

"Well one of them is bound to like me," I mumbled as the woman led us to the back. He only chuckled and kissed my temple.

As we walked into the room it went silent. Then there was a loud chorus of "Will!" 's and "It's been so long" 's and then, of course the inevitable "Who is that?" 's. I smiled meekly as Will ran a comforting thumb over the back of my hand. "Everyone, this is Shelby… Shelby this is everyone." I waved slightly, and it seemed like they all charged us all trying to get in line…. to meet me. at the end of the line were his parents. His mom was probably about 5 foot even with blonde hair and his dad was about six two so it was obvious where Will got his height from. "Mom! Dad!" he exclaimed as he wrapped them into a huge hug. But then he turned to his mom. He took her face in his hands and kissed her forehead. "How are you doing mom?"

"Ok, how are you?"

"I'm doing ok too." He then reached back and grabbed my hand. "Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet Shelby." They turned to me and I stuck out my hand, much to my surprise his mother came towards me and wrapped me into a hug. It took me a second, but I returned the hug.

When she pulled back I shook his dad's hand. "It's nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Schuester."

"Oh please, call us Cara and Tom, dear."

"Yes ma'am." I smiled. We then went and sat down at the two empty chairs.

"Oh! Jenny, you had your baby!" Will exclaimed when he saw his cousin. "Can I hold her?" the girl nodded and handed the little bundle to Will. I knew I was gawking at him, but there was something about him with a baby that made me swoon.

"She's adorable," I told Jenny, and the girl smiled and said a meek thank you. Conversations went on around us but I couldn't take my eyes off of Will and that baby and I wished with all of my heart that I could give him that.

"Do you want to hold her?" he asked me and I nodded but turned to Jenny.

"Is it ok?"

The girl laughed, "Of course!"

Will gently handed the little girl to me. "Hey, sweetie," I cooed. The baby smiled at me. My heart ached slightly, she looked exactly like Rachel had. I pulled her closer into me. She kept smiling and I kept cooing. I stayed like that until the waiter came around to ask my order. After he walked away I turned to Jenny. "What's her name?" I asked casually.

"Rachel," Jenny replied. My eyes immediately filled up with tears. I passed her to Jenny and stood up. Shelby Corcoran does not cry, and she most definitely does not cry in front of people she doesn't know.

"I have to go to the bathroom," I excused and hastily walked towards the bathroom. As soon as I had entered the stall and locked it I doubled over. Why was I acting this way? I couldn't figure it out but the baby, the way she looked, and her name… oh her name! why did she have to be named Rachel? I immediately whipped out my phone and thanked God that I had been trained to control my voice. I hit her name.

One ring. Two rings. "Hello?"

"Hey, baby."

"Oh, hey, mom! How's everything going?" just to hear her voice was enough to calm me.

"It's going good."

"Are you ok mom?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I just miss you." I laughed. "Sorry, is that weird?"

"No, mom, I miss you too. When are you guys coming home?"

"The funeral's on Friday. Our flight is on Sunday."

"So will you be at school on Monday?" her voice was hopeful.

"I don't know, sweetheart. It depends on how Will is feeling. He really needs me right now and I can't just leave him at home."

"I know, mom. I understand."

"Ok well I have to go, babe, I'm sorry."

"That's ok. Finn's coming over!" I could hear the smile on her face.

"Ok babe. Be careful!"

"Yes, mom," she laughed, "You too."

"Goodbye, Rachel."

"Bye, mom, love you!"

"Love you too Sweetheart."

I hung up feeling better. I checked my appearance in the mirror, not too bad, and walked back to the table.

"Are you ok?" Will whispered into my ear.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I beamed at him.

Dinner passed by at an amazing speed. His family were quite possibly the nicest people I have ever met.

"Are you sure you're ok?" he asked stroking my arm.

"Of course I'm ok."

"Well the baby-"

I placed a kiss to his lips to silence him, "I was just missing Rachel, I called her, I'm fine now," and with that I rolled over pulling his arm to surround me and settling back into his body.

A/N: So I don't really like the ending to this one, but I couldn't think of anything else. Please review and let me know what's going through your heads? Is it starting to be bad? I'm worried and would really like to hear some feedback.

Love y'all,

Lizzy
