Happy Tuesday y'all! Today we dive back into the '' edgy '' part of the story, this is going to get a * little * dark be warned. Also enjoy!
The doors of Josh Radnor memorial hospital burst open as a young woman was wheeled in on a hospital bed, wincing in pain. To her side was a handsome young man jogging beside her.
'' Fuuuck!'' Rachel shrieked as she was wheeled on the bed into the delivery room.
'' You'll be fine sweetie, remember to breathe and above all stay calm, I'm right here'' Kurt added as he attempted to keep pace with the nurses.
'' Where's Finn?!'' Rachel said wincing.
'' He's on his way, stupid security won't let him leave, I've contacted the others and they should be here soon too'' Kurt added.
Rachel screamed in pain, how was her day ending so badly?

A few hours earlier
Rachel admired her figure in the bedroom mirror. Despite being due any day now. Whilst her curvy figure still remained, she did still feel a bit insecure about her weight though.
'' Why're you admiring yourself in the mirror? I mean, if I looked like you I would'' Finn said entering the room.
'' Can I ask you something?'' Rachel asked.
'' Shoot.''
'' Do you still find me sexy?''
'' You're kidding right?''
'' Not even slightly.''
'' Rachel, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met, inside and out. Even Kurt's attracted to you and he's gay.''
'' Fine, but look at me, I look like a whale.''
'' No, you don't. You're pregnant is all. Remember how Quinn was? She also wasn't a fan of how she looked either. Although now she's the same way she looked before, and you'll look the same way.''
'' Thanks babe, you always know what to say.'''
'' No problem, listen I've got an early start but I left the number for the Italian place on the kitchen island incase you feel like getting yourself one of those garlic, carrot and anchovy pizzas you like.''
'' Sure, give the fatty more food, that'll be great.''
'' Stop it, you're not fat, and even if you were I'd still love you 3000.''
'' Aww, you know exactly what a girl wants to hear'' Rachel cooed.
'' Eh, I have my moments'' Finn shrugged.
'' You sure do, now get out of here, you've got kids to teach.''
'' Yep, whoopee'' Finn rolled his eyes. Truth be told he hated his job. The kids were a nightmare, his football players had the mentality of four-year-olds, his boss was a drunk who was usually too hammered to listen to his complaints. To be honest, the only reason he was even still at the school was because of the pay, it was a lot higher than the average teacher made.
As Finn slumped into his car, he began to wonder if he should just call in sick and spend the day with Rachel.
Soon the man pulled up to his school and got out. Once outside he saw two kids beating up what appeared to be a sophomore. What was worse is that one of the people involved was his star full back.
'' Hey, hey hey,, break it up!'' Finn yelled as he ran to them. '' What were you thinking Gonzalez?''
The boy known as Gonzalez looked at him. '' Look at this dork, Star Trek Wars t-shirt with white shorts, this kid was asking for it.''
'' First off, its Star Wars not Star Trek Wars, secondly bullying someone because of their clothes? Pathetic. Follow me, the principal will decide your punishment.''
Finn led the boy to his principal's office. Once inside Finn and Gonzalez sat down.
'' Ok Finn, what'd the little shit do?'' Joyce asked.
'' He physically assaulted another child because of his clothing.''
'' Oh, is that all? When I was at school? We shoved kids' heads in toilets.''
'' Principal Hart, this isn't a laughing matter. Federico over here has two prior offenses, one for inappropriate behavior towards his math teacher and another for smoking marijuana on school grounds.''
'' Look Finn, he's a kid, they do these kinds of things, I'll let him off with a warning. Now, get back to class kid, I have to have a word with Mr. Hudson'' Joyce wiggled her eyebrows.
'' Alright, see ya Principal H'' Federico said as he sauntered out.
'' Why'd you send him out?'' Finn asked.
Joyce stood up and walked towards the man. '' Finn, do you know why I drink?''
'' No, why?''
'' Because I'm lonely. My husband left me because apprantly I'm too lazy and my kids disowned me.''
'' Sorry to hear that, anything I can do?''
'' Yes actually'' Joyce grabbed his face and put it against hers, pressing her lips on his.
Finn immediately pulled away. '' Wow, Joyce I'm happily married.''
'' Pfft, sure you are'' Joyce rolled her eyes at him.
'' I am, in fact, this actually gave me a wake up call. I'm through teaching the arts at this place'' Finn took off his tie. '' I. Quit.''
The man then went out practically skipping towards his car.

Meanwhile Rachel had decided to have a day off with Kurt. The man worked from home so he could spend more time with his family and best friends.
The pair were currently at one of their favorite hangouts; The secret garden. It was a café-style restaurant situated in an arboretum. Its architecture was mostly brick but that just added to its overall charm.
'' Wow, this is the best tuna tramezzini I've ever had. Its like my stomach is jealous of my mouth for getting it first'' Kurt said between mouthfuls.
'' Easy there, the stuff's good but too much of it'll ruin your dinner'' Rachel playfully lectured.
'' Aww, the kids aren't even born yet and you're already lecturing'' Kurt sarcastically cooed.
'' Don't get cocky Hummel, remember who's paying'' Rachel smirked.
'' Ooh, the money card. Need I remind you that AnderHummel designs is doing exceptionally well?''
'' You still didn't bring cash dude.''
'' Dammit, how do you always see through me?''
'' It's a gift, ah.''
'' Something wrong?''
'' No-aah!''
'' Rachel, Rachel what's wrong?''
'' I-I think my water just broke.''
'' Wait seriously?''
'' No Kurt I'm lying'' Rachel grabbed the man's shirt. '' call 911.''
'' O-ok, hold on'' Kurt dug out his phone, the whole restaurant, including some workers looking at them.
'' 911, what's your emergency?''
'' My best friend's gone into labor, send an ambulance as fast as you can!''
'' Please calm down ma'am, we'll dispatch one to your immediate location. What might it be?''
'' The secret garden, 15, 9th street, Lima Ohio.''
'' Excellent, please remain calm.''
Kurt put the phone down.
'' What'd they say?'' Rachel asked wincing.
'' They're dispatching an ambulance right now, what should I do?''
'' I don't know, something!''
'' Uhm ok'' Kurt panicked and called the first person he could think of.
-x-
'' I'm telling ya man, I don't know what to tell Rachel.''
'' Finn, listen, if you want my advice, just be honest, and if she kicks you out, come over to mine and Quinn's place.''
Finn had left his school after abruptly quitting and phoned the first person he could think of for counselling; Puck. The man wasn't at the base today, so he was more than happy to go day drinking with his best friend.
'' Yeah but, with the kids due any day now, I need to support my family ya know?''
'' Dude, I get you but listen, what would Shuester do?''
'' He'd have left that school and done some belt tightening until he found a new job.''
'' Exactly'' Puck pointed at him. '' So, here's what your gonna do. You're going to call Rachel on my phone because I trust you not at all to actually go through with this, and you're going to tell her that you quit.''
Finn half-smirked. '' You're serious?''
'' Do I look like I'm joking to you?''
'' Fine.'' Finn took his friend's phone and called his wife, strangely it wasn't answered by her.
'' Noah Dorothy Puckerman get Finn!'' Kurt screamed from the other side of the phone.
'' Kurt relax its me, Finn. What's happening?''
'' Rachel's in labor, get to the hospital, now!''
'' Ok I'm on it, which one?''
'' Josh Radnor memorial. Hurry!''
Finn ended the call and got up abruptly.
'' Hey where're you going?'' Puck asked.
'' Rachel's in labor, I need to get to her.''
'' Not yet, dude. You're getting a military escort.''
