Rachel left the apartment with Quinn, Mercedes, Santana and Brittany around ten in the morning.

' Are you sure this isn't too exhausting ? I can't walk around the city like you, girls. Right, Quinn ? '

The blonde woman, dressed with an electric blue skirt and a white top, turned back and looked at her. ' Remember the day I gave birth ? I was dancing at Regionals with all of you. But you had some, um … problems during your pregnancy, so don't worry, it's not too long and you don't have to walk much. That's what taxis were invented. ' She smiled and began to cross the road to catch a cab.

' I feel so honored, Finn. I didn't think you would like my opinion for Rachel's ring. '

' Kurt, you are my brother. Not really, but still. Plus, I didn't want to ask someone like Mercedes who could tell Rachel any moment. ' Finn took his keys out of his pocket and opened his black car. He also had his truck in Lima, but before he left for New York, Burt had done up this car at the garage.

' I am worst at keeping this as a secret and you know it ? Once I knew Rachel was pregnant, I told my dad who told your mother. See ? Bad ! '

Finn laughed as both of them got in the car. He never admitted it, but Finn enjoyed those moments with Kurt. When they were together, they could talk about everything, except sex. They already knew enough as the wall between their bedrooms weren't that big. How many times did Kurt have to hit the wall to make Finn and Rachel understand they were too noisy ? Too many. And how many times did Finn had to leave his own room to sleep on the couch ? He has stopped counting them for a while.

' Since we are alone and you're a part in the project, can I say what I imagined for my proposal ? ' Finn caught his sunglasses in the gloves compartment and put them on. Rachel bought these sunglasses for him. She said it looked good with his scruff, when he had one.

' I've been dying to know since yesterday. I didn't even sleep ! '

Kurt was glad to attend the proposal, but honestly, he didn't know why. A proposal was about two persons in love, not two persons plus another. When he got proposed to, they were in Central Park. It was freezing. They were walking around the lake and suddenly, Blaine said that they should get married. And that was it.

' So, and let me finish before screaming or telling me it sucks, okay ? ' He waited for the answer a few seconds. ' I don't know if Blaine told you, but I already proposed to Rachel once. But she said « no » and honestly, if I was her, I would have said « no » too. It was all about her pregnancy and I kind of forced myself to ask her. Now, I know this is for real and not just because of the baby. I really want to be engaged with her. We will be as happy as today, but engagement is serious. And someday, I'd love to call my wife. ' He marked a pause. ' Following ? '

Kurt was staring at him, drinking every word Finn had said. ' Yes, but you still didn't say anything about how you're gonna propose. '

' I told you to let me finish. ' He smiled.

' Girls, I don't know this is a good idea. Nobody saw me naked. The only exception is Finn. '

Rachel was covered with a bath towel, stretched on her back. Quinn, Mercedes, Santana and Brittany were also there on their own tables.

' He's not gonna sneak behind you, Rachel. ' Santana replied. ' He is a masseur. That's his job. ' She used the tone she always used when something was obvious to her. Exactly the tone that everybody hated in the Glee Club.

' He ? '

Rachel looked up at Quinn. Why did she lie to her ? Of course, it wasn't really surprising, she has always knew her ' friend's ' apologies were kind of weird. But, it was a fact, Quinn was really nice with her. She has organized this whole day just for her. What she still didn't know was that Finn asked her to do so.

Before Quinn could explain herself, Brittany coughed and spoke.

' The woman turned into a man. Right, Santana ? ' This was the first time Brittany has opened her mouth in the morning. She was still pretty shy, especially when the Lima Heights girl was there. They weren't together, even if Santana wished it.

' Brit, try to be less you for once. She won't believe that a women got transformed into a man, that's silly ! ' Quinn answered. ' Actually Rachel, I told you it was a woman because I was afraid you wouldn't come if you knew the truth. You are so prude sometimes. '

The pregnant woman deeply sighed and looked above her. She didn't want a man, other than Finn, staring at her body. A pregnant body. She breathed, closed her eyes and nodded as Quinn asked her if it was okay.

' Yeah. ' She lifted her towel up and looked at her body. At least, she didn't have much stretches, that was a good point. She might even still be pretty. Finn still loved her, right ? That was all that mattered. ' By the way, I am not prude. '

Mercedes suddenly burst into laughing.

' Oh no, she is not high-school Rachel anymore, Quinn. So not ! ' She tried to breath again. ' Girls, let met tell you the story of naughty Rachel who got pregnant right after. '

Rachel had forgotten that she had told her wild make out session with Finn a few months earlier. She thought about hiding herself, but where ? She didn't even have her clothes and the bath towel was to short to cover her head. Apparently, Mercedes' little story interested everyone. She shyly gave a look to each of her friends. It was so embarrassing she could feel her own cheeks blushing.

' She'll look like a princess. ' Kurt whispered, his eyes wide-opened.

The jeweler's shop was empty. Finn and Kurt were at the front of a display cabinet, looking at every single ring. They've been in town for a bunch of hours and didn't find the perfect ring for Rachel yet. Finn knew he would feel something when he'll finally see it.

' This is the one. I don't know how I know it, but I do ! This is Rachel's ring. ' He didn't even look at his brother, his eyes were obsessed with the little stone on the ring.

' This is so perfect. ' Kurt has always believed in fairytales and Finn and Rachel's story was definitely one of his favorites. He was his brother, she was his best-friend. He couldn't wish a more perfect couple. ' But Finn, look at the pri … '

' I don't care. ' He interrupted. ' Kurt, this is the one. '
