Rachel and Carole were sitting on the couch, watching her favorite movie on television which happened to be 'Funny Girl'. Her feet on the coffee table and a chocolate ice cream pot on her belly, she was singing along to 'My Man' when Finn came back home. He had heard this song several times, but when Rachel was the singer, he could feel her emotion through his heart. He stayed against the door listening to her until the end of the song and then coughed to show his presence.
'You should get dressed, I'm inviting the both of you to lunch.' He said, quite exciting and kissing his girl's forehead as usual.
Rachel put her ice cream pot on the table and stood up, not without some difficulty because she wasn't used to her weight yet. She was now 18-week pregnant. Carol stood up too and light off the television.
'You seem unusually happy, my boy.' Her mother replied, taking the pot and putting it into the fridge.
'I am.' He took Rachel's hand and made her turn round like they were dancing. 'I finally found a new job !' He smiled.
'Oh my God !' His girlfriend jumped in his arms in spite of her baby bump. She kissed him romantically before he put her down. 'I am so proud of you, Finn.'
'You kissed the brand new seller from the musical store 'Best Buy' here in Broadway.' In some ways, he got into Broadway before she did. 'So, to celebrate, let me invite my three favorite women to lunch.'
He slapped her butt before she went to their bedroom.
An hour later, they were all set on a restaurant's terrace. It was a pretty sunny day in New York during early May. Rachel drank a gulp of her full ice water glass. She took off her summer hat and began to speak.
'I didn't tell Finn yet, but-'
He looked at her, wondering what was going on. She was clearly talking to his mother. He was about to open his mouth when she continued.
'I have an idea for our daughter's name. Not the first, but the second one.' She gave a look to her boyfriend and the father of her baby. 'I think she should be named after you.' She said smiling at Carole. 'Like Something Carole Hudson. You've been everything in Finn's life, his mother, his friend and his confident. You definitely deserve this for making him the man I love.'
Carole became very emotional and left her sit to hug Rachel.
'I'd be honored.' She whispered to her ear. 'Only if my son agrees with this.'
Finn took off his sunglasses, rubbed his eyes because of the sun and smiled to them.
'How could I not agree ? My baby girl has to be named after her grandma.' He took his mother's hand as he kissed Rachel's cheek. 'When we were in high school, I was popular, sure, but everyone thought I was stupid. You are the persons who made me comfortable with who I was.' Carole went back to her chair. 'I can't believe where I am now. A New Yorker with a great new job and about to have my first child with the girl I'm mad of. I couldn't ask more.'
'You two are going to be great parents. You seem not to realize it yet, but I'm sure of it. You are already, actually.' His mother answered under emotion. 'You are all doing great and I'm so proud of you. Big year for the Hummel-Hudson family. One wedding and a baby. When I told Burt about the baby, he almost had a heart attack. And I won't tell you his reaction about the wedding. He literally freaked out !'
The end of the lunch went well. Rachel and Carole talked babies stuff as Finn was listening to them, enjoying his life.
