Rachel squeezed Finn's hand. She looked over at Vocal Adrenaline who rolled their eyes at them. She looked back at her team. It was time for the truth. Who was going to Nationals? Did they beat Vocal Adrenaline this time? The announcer came back with all the judges and the results.
"And the results are..." He read. "3rd Place goes to..." Rachel closed her eyes. This was their last shot. She felt the baby kick and clutched her stomach. She thought. Kick once if we lose, kick twice if we win. She felt the baby kick twice. She smiled. Thanks. She thought.
"Vocal Adrenaline!" He yelled. Rachel opened her eyes shocked. She looked over at Vocal Adrenaline, they were shocked even more. She grinned and looked up at Finn.
"We beat them!" She said with a grin. He nodded, speachless himself.
"And in 2nd Place..." He said into the micophone, ripping the envelope open. "The Warballors." He called. Rachel felt her heart beat faster.
"And that means, in 1st Place, we have... New Directions!" He called. Rachel gasped. They won Regionals! They were going to New York City! In only 2 months that was. It made her think though.

They all sat around Mr. Schuester's living room. Grins on all their faces. Rachel was sitting on Finn's lap, to make room for everyone else. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. In walked Kurt and Blaine. Rachel grinned and stood up. Hugging Kurt.
"Kurt!" She grinned. "What are you doing here?" She asked. Merecedes stood up and hugged him as well as everyone else.
"Well, since you won, I knew you were having a get together. I wanted to come! And also, I must come to New York." That made Rachel think again. She walked back over to the couch and sat down. Finn noticed and sat down next to her.
"What's wrong?" He asked her, concerned. He lifted her chin so she was looking him in the eyes.
"I've been thinking." She said. He nodded. "I'll be really close to my due date when we go to New York." He nodded. "I mean, I can still fly since I know that I won't give birth on the plane. But while we are there. I don't know." He nodded.
"It's OK. We can figure something out." She nodded and kissed his cheek. "I love you, Rachel. I love you, a lot." He said. Pulling out a small box. Opening it, inside was a pink ruby on a ring. "So, this ring is a promise to you that I will always love you, and I will always be there for you. For our baby. And marry you one day." She smiled and took it out of the box. Putting it on her ring finger. "So, now that you're wearing that, we will be together forever."
Rachel grinned and looked at him. "I love you, too, Finn." She said. She kissed him before he could say anything else. "And I love the ring. And I hope we are together forever."
