-Chapter 8-
-Rachel pov-
It's been 2 weeks and August is closer to its end. Mercedes, Kurt, and Noah are back. Noah has apologized but I still haven't fully forgiven him. Shelby still isn't letting him see Beth for a while. She wants everyone on the same page.
Currently I'm sitting in a bathroom stall though. I've not had my period at its that time. I've been in here all day. I'm too scared to move or face anyone. I hear the door open and I put my feet in the toilet seat.
"This is the last bathroom Rachel!" I feel my heart race at Santana's voice. It's sounds so broken and afraid "Please...just come out"
"I'm here" I slowly stand up and walk out of the stall "I'm right here"
"Where have you been?" Before I can respond I'm pulled into a tight hug "You've had us all scared! I thought you got hurt!"
"I haven't had it" Santana pulls back and looks at me confused "I haven't had my period"
"D-do you wanna take a test?" I can only nod as the tears start to fall. I get pulled back into Santana "It'll all be ok princess"
I melt into the embrace fully. In her arms it feels like everything will be ok. After a while we break apart. She grabs my hand and we walk out of the bathroom. I watch her text someone and then we head to the office.
She signs us out and then we go to the car. I'm sitting in the back next to her. I hear the driver door open then close before we start taking off. Before I know it we are at the drug store and then home.
Last week we moved into the Fabray household fully. Judy is confused when she sees us walk in. Quinn, she must have been driving, walks up and starts talking with her. Santana leads me upstairs with the three test we bought and stops at the bathroom door.
"You gonna be ok?" I shake my head now and sniffle. Santana pulls me into a comforting hug again "You want me in there?"
"No" I take a deep breath "Just check in after three minutes ok?"
My answer is given in a nod. Santana slowly lets go of my hand and walks downstairs. I close my eyes for another deep breath. I let it out and go into the bathroom.
Now or never.
-three minutes later-
There's a knock on the door to the bathroom. I get up and open it. Santana and Quinn slowly step in and I smile. They stand on each side of me and hold my hands. We all just look at the test as the lines start to show.
"First test" Quinn squeeze my hand "Two lines"
"Second test shows" One lines pops up slowly followed by another "Two lines"
"Well Estrella" I look at the test she's holding "Looks like you'll have a mini you"
"A mini me" I look down at my stomach and smile "A mini broadway bound baby"
"You gonna be ok?" I look up at Quinn who looks worried "It's ok not to"
"Honestly I'm not" I sigh and look back at the positive tests "But we will be"
"Hey girls" We look to the doorway at Judy holding Beth "Is everything ok?"
"Can I tell her?" I nod to Quinn and she smiles. She walks over to Judy and smiles wide "You're gonna be a grandma"
"I-I'm actually going to be a grandma?" We nod and she still looks shocked out of her mind "Like you are keeping it and it'll be for sure my granddaughter without any technicalities?"
"If you'd like to be" I'm pulled into a massive hug by Judy while Beth laughs "I'll take that as a yes"
-Santana pov-
I leave Rachel with the Fabrays and Beth. I have a call I need to make. I pull out my phone and click call on a contact. The phone rings a bit before it's picked up.
"Hey San" i roll my eyes at my moms nonchalantness "Is everything ok?"
"I'm dating someone...I love her" I hear silence on the phone and go on "That's a lie...I'm dating two girls! I love them both"
"Well we already thought you were with Brittany" I hear Papis voice break through the background "Is the other one Quinn? She's a lovely girl!"
"One is Quinn yes" I look to make sure I'm still in private "The other is Rachel Berry...she ended up pregnant from a party we took her to after she got pranked...I want my saving and trust unlocked please"
"You took a girl you love to a party then let her slip away?!" I cringe at my Mamis yelling "I thought you were better than that!"
"WELL YOUD KNOW MORE IF YOU TWO WOULD EVER BE HOME!" Silence falls on the other end and I sigh "I'm sorry"
"No that was fair San" I still feel guilt about yelling at them "We will get it unlocked...we are coming home and have some stuff to talk about with you soon..we'd love to meet Rachel and see Quinn then"
"That sounds great" I smile at the thought of introducing Rachel to my parents "Thank you"
"We love you Mija" I feel my heart clench at my Mamis words "We will be home this week hopefully if not a few days after"
"I love you two as well" I hear footsepts get closer "I gotta go! See you soon!"
I hang up as everyone comes into the living room. I smile at Rachel's happiness and Everyone's smiles. Even if my real family doesn't come back I know that I still have this one. I'd prefer this family over anyone else's any day.
"Who was that on the phone?" I look at Rachel as she wraps around my stomach "Is everything ok?"
"Yeah" I give her forehead a kiss "Everything is great"
"Which means that was her parents" I send a glare at Wuinn as she smirks "Hey was I wrong?"
"They are coming back this week" She nods and I look down at Rachel "They wanna see the both of you"
"I'd love to see them as well" Rachel let's out a big yawn "I'm exhausted"
"Go on and sleep" Judy sits Beth down in a high chair and opens the fridge "I'll make some lunch"
"We should probably tell Shelby" Rachel nods and we slowly walk upstairs "You want to after Lunch?"
"Yeah" Rachel leans into me and yawns again "After lunch"
"Come on" I pick her up and Quinn opens the bedroom door "Let's get to bed sleeping beauty"
I lay Rachel down in Quinn's bed and Quinn lays down beside her. I walk out of the room to the bathroom and grab the test. I smile at the positive signs and walk back to the room. I sit them on the bedside and smile at the girls.
Quinn has her arms wrapped around Rachel and they are out cold. I slowly get into the bed on Rachel's open side. I wrap my arms around both of them the best I can. I let sleep slowly take over as images of my girls and a mini Rachel fill my head.
-Time skip- Shelby pov-
"Hey Miss C!" I smile at Sugar, Tina, Mike, and the Cheerios as they come in "Wheres the girls?"
"I don't know" I look at Brittany who runs in "You ok?"
"I couldn't find them anywhere!" I look at her confused "Rachel, Quinn, and San!"
"That's odd" I pull out my phone and see I have some missed calls from Rachel "Hang on"
I push Rachel contact and I rings "Mom?" She sounds like she's been crying "Mom I-I'm sorry if you're mad and you somehow got the news! I just wanted to get you here to tell you"
"Rachel I'm worried not mad" Everyone shrugs "What's going on?"
"Can you get home?" I hear a sniffle and my heart breaks "Please?"
"I'll be home soon" the call ends and I look at the team "I'm sorry but I have to go"
"Let me drive you" Brittany grabs my keys and starts out the door "You look bad right now! Like lord tubbington high bad"
I smile at Brittanys random thoughts. This girl is odd but I love it. We get to my car and get in quickly. We pull out of the lot and go as fast as we can home. I explain to Brittany where we live now and she says she knew. I should've figured the girls told her.
When we pull up I'm immediately out of the car. I run into the house and see everyone in the living room. I step toward them with Brittany behind me. I look at Rachel and see her with puffy eyes.
"Hey" I walk over and crouch in front of her "You ok? What's going on?"
"I wanna tell you in person" She holds up three pregnancy test "Look at them"
I shakily take the first one, it's positive. I take another and it's the same. I look at Rachel with tears in my eyes. I flip the last one and see the two lines.
"I'm gonna be a grandma?" She nods and I pull her into a hug "I'm gonna be a grandma!"
"So you're ok with this?" I pull and look at Rachel "I don't wanna just assume"
"I've never been happier" I smile and wipe her tears "I would've preferred this years later...but I'm happy either way"
Rachel pulls me into another and we breakdown again. My baby is gonna have a baby. Next time I see Finn, I'm gonna kill him. I shake the thought out as the happiness comes back.
The rest of the day is spent celebrating and reassuring Rachel. I can tell she's happy but she's also scared. When night falls I go onto my computer and pull up her files. I sigh and send a quick email.
She needs a test done...she's a carrier for Tay-Sachs. This happy party could go sour quick. But here's to hoping.
Right...right?
