A/N: Warning: non-Finchel shippers, you might want to skip the third section, it's entirely the Finchel fluff that I can't resist writing, it "just bubbles up inside of me and I try to hold it in but it all just comes bursting out." Not really, I don't want to hold it in, I just wanted to quote Rach…but the second section is Puckleberry-ish, so I hope it'll please you crazies…jk lol… 1st and 4th section are everybody, mostly focused on Rach.

RPOV:

We all gathered around a table in the food court with our various drinks and snacks. I'd gotten a strawberry-kiwi smoothie. I sighed as I sank into the chair. It felt like we'd been shopping for hours and while I didn't have the most bags by far; I still had quite a few. Kurt slammed his head on the table.

"Remind me to never ever drink again! I have the most awful hangover!" I fished a bottle of ibuprofen out of my purse, handing him two pills. I held out the bottle to the rest. Tina and Mercedes both gratefully grabbed some while Santana and Brittany just shook their heads.

"Well some of us tried to inform you of that fact last night, but you were too busy making out with your best friend to care." Quinn commented dryly.

"WHAT?" Mercedes and Kurt screeched at the same time.

"Ha, Finn owes me 5 bucks." Quinn said satisfied.

"He owes me too, Noah definitely did not remember California Girls, either that or he's just denying it which is highly likely but Finn still owes me!" I added triumphantly. Sometime the night before, Quinn and I had resorted to betting against Finn which of the dares would be remembered the next day and so far we were both beating his bets by a long shot.

"Okay, let's talk about something besides how big of fools we made of ourselves last night. Rachel! Baby names?" Kurt said quickly.

"I have a couple in mind, not sharing though. You all get to find out when she's born and not before."

"You're keeping her then?" Quinn asked. I could see a hint of regret in her eyes.

"Yes. Finn and I were already planning to get an apartment in New York since we're both going to school there. Dad's going to go up there with us in a couple weeks to find one and paint it and everything. It's going to be tough, but we'll be able to do it."

"I'm so glad for you that Finn's been so great about this whole thing. I guess the honesty makes a difference." Quinn replied, still looking sad.

"I guess. So what are we doing the rest of the summer?" I asked, trying to change the subject. As the rest of the group started talking excitedly about pool parties and road trips, I reached over and grabbed Quinn's hand. She smiled at me, and then turned to join in the conversation. Mission accomplished!

NPOV:

Finn had come over for dinner, again. I mean seriously, I get that he likes hanging out with Rachel, but his mom is an awesome cook and Mr. Berry, well the man could burn water. So then after dinner, Hannah and I sat at the kitchen table playing scrabble while Mr. Berry washed the dishes. Rachel had dragged Finn upstairs for who knows what. I certainly didn't want to know what they were doing.

Suddenly I heard Rachel yelling. I looked at Mr. Berry, trying to decide if someone needed to go upstairs. Rachel was extremely hormonal lately and screamed at everyone for no reason, but then again, Finn sure could be an idiot sometimes. When I heard his raised voice as well I quickly headed upstairs, Mr. Berry right behind, to see what was going on.

"Finn, you just don't understand!"

"Well then help me to! I love you Rachel and I know you're hurting but if you can't even talk to me about it then how can I help you?"

"By not expecting me to be perfectly normal!" Ok at least part of this was definitely hormones, Finn treated Rachel like she was made of glass, he definitely did not expect her to be normal. On the other hand, something had set this off and I had to find out what.

"Gosh, Rachel, don't you think this is hard on me too? You never think about anyone but yourself!" Okay that was crossing the line. Rachel sank to her bed, tears beginning to spill from her eyes. Finn took a tentative step towards her but I grabbed his arm quickly.

"Don't you dare pull that crap Hudson! As I see it, Rachel thinks about everyone but herself! Especially you!"

"Fuck you Puck." He pushed past me and headed towards the door. Mr. Berry turned to follow him, motioning me towards Rachel. I sat beside her and gently drew her close.

"It's okay Rach; it's all going to be okay." She looked up at me and smiled through her tears.

"I've heard that before."

"Well I mean it, he'll probably come back tomorrow on his hands and knees. Now sit up and tell me the whole story."

"It's really nothing. He wanted to go to a movie tonight and I didn't feel up to it. He gave me puppy dog eyes and, well. I hate hormones!" She suddenly yelled.

"I'm not too fond of them either princess. Now go to sleep, everything will be better in the morning."

"Will you stay here till I fall asleep?" I laughed.

"Sure." She pulled me down so that I was lying beside her. I hugged her gently, resting one hand on her stomach.

"Thanks Noah." She was asleep within minutes. I stayed there for a little bit, feeling the small movements of the baby, before heading down to finish the scrabble game.

RPOV:

I heard a knock on the door as I was sitting watching Funny Girl with Hannah. Noah was in the corner, pretending to be asleep but I had a feeling he was really watching as well. I paused the movie and went to answer the door.

"Finn!" I had half expected him not to show up for our planned date after our fight yesterday. He handed me a bouquet. "What's this for?"

"I'm sorry Rach. I was way out of line yesterday and I hope you can forgive me."

"Of course Finn, it was my fault too."

"But you had a reason. I'm just an idiot."

"You're not an idiot Finn." I heard footsteps behind us and turned to see Noah walk up. "Ahh you're awake then." I laughed as he gave me a dirty look. He turned to Finn and raised his eyebrows questioningly.

"You're early."

"We're going to dinner now. See you later!" Finn took my hand and pulled me out of the house.

"Whoa Finn. I've got to go change." I went upstairs and slipped on a three-quarter length black skirt and a loose red blouse. I brushed my hair out and put on a little makeup. I called good bye to my dad as I returned to meet Finn by the door. Saying goodbye to Noah and Hannah, we walked out to Finn's car. I was shocked when he walked over with me and opened my door before getting in himself.

"Kurt got to you, huh?" I asked him. He nodded. He pulled out of the driveway and headed to the fanciest restaurant in Lima. I was in shock. "What are we doing here?"

"What I'm not allowed to take my girl out for something special once in a while?"

"Wow. Finn, this is just amazing." He walked around and opened my door quickly. He grabbed my hand and led me into the restaurant.

"Reservation for Hudson." He said to the waitress who gave him an appraising look before looking at me with disgust. I was getting used to the nasty looks, how sad was that?

We followed a waiter to our seats. The meal was really quite delicious and I was still slightly in shock that Finn had actually thought to come here. When we had finished eating, Finn paid the bill and brought me out to his car. He drove to a small park and led me down the path to the overlook for a small pond. I looked out at the beautiful view and smiled, turning to Finn to tell him how beautiful it was, I found him down on one knee.

"Rachel, I love you more than anything. I wouldn't want to live without you ever, you can ask Kurt or anyone, me without you is not a pretty sight. You are the best thing in my life, you are my life. It doesn't have to be now or soon or for years if you want, but I want you to be mine. I want to come home to your beautiful face every day and be the father to all of your children. Rachel Barbra Berry, will you become Rachel Hudson someday?" He pulled out a box with a beautiful ring in it. I was speechless. "Rachel, will you marry me?" The words just didn't come, I couldn't find words to tell him what I knew so clearly in my heart, what I'd known since the first day I met him. "Is you not being able to talk right now a good thing or a bad thing?" He asked nervously. I laughed.

"A good thing Finn. Yes of course I'll marry you. YES YES YES YES YES!" He slid the ring on my finger then stood up and kissed me, picking me up despite my awkwardly large stomach and spinning me around. "I love you Finn."

L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L

We finally left the park, as we got in Finn's car I couldn't stop smiling.

"Finn, I'm going to remember this night forever. Thank you."

"No problem, I'll always remember it too. I love you. Hey, do you mind if we stop by my house before I take you home. I've got to grab something quick."

"Sure." He held my hand lightly as we drove to his house.

"Come in, though I warn you my mother is going to attack you when she sees that." He nodded toward the ring glinting on my hand. I laughed and followed him inside. I had just enough time to see the large banner hanging on the wall which read 'Congratulations Rachel' and was adorned with a large baby bottle. As I was beginning to process the sign, a chorus of voices shouted,

"SURPRISE!" I looked around the room in awe. I was surrounded by all of my family and friends; the whole glee club, of course, Mr. Schue and Miss Pillsbury, Mrs. Schuester now, Mr. and Mrs. Hummel, Shelby and Beth, Dad, Hannah, and Sarah and Alex. Everyone I loved was there. I was soon mobbed with a bunch of hugs.

"Wow she was actually surprised. You did a better job of hiding it from her than I thought you would." I could hear Kurt comment to Finn.

"Well I had her a bit distracted." My boyfriend, fiancé, smiled at me across the room. Suddenly Quinn noticed the ring.

"OH MY GOSH!" She squealed at the top of her lungs and I was attacked by a whole new round of hugs. When all the excitement had finally died down, Kurt clapped his hands eagerly.

"Present time!" He guided me to the couch, Quinn quickly sitting on the other side as little Beth clambered into her lap. I oohed and ahhed appropriately over all of the presents.

The only slightly awkward moment came when I opened Mike's gift. He'd gotten a set of little bibs. They were packaged so that only the top two showed and I of course was forced to open the package to show them all. The first couple said things like 'Princess' and 'Angel,' one even said 'Future Star,' but the last one, I realized as I pulled it out, read 'Daddy's little girl.' The entire room seemed to freeze as Kurt grabbed it and held it up before he comprehended what it said. Mike turned red; Noah and Finn both looked like they'd just seen death. I quickly thanked Mike for the gift and moved on to the next one, but the awkward air lingered slightly.

As the party was winding down, I ended up out on the porch with Shelby. She kept looking inside where Beth was curled up asleep in Noah's lap on the couch.

"Is it everything you thought it would be? Having Beth?" I couldn't resist the question. I had forgiven her a long time ago, but we'd never had this discussion.

"Yes. And more. The heartache every time I'm not with her, the worry, but most of all the joy. But you know, actually knowing my daughter is much more than I ever dreamed it would be." She looked at me and smiled. "I can't imagine not having you in my life Rachel. And I'm so glad you've found all this happiness. You have wonderful friends. Your dad loves you more than anything in the world. And Finn seems like you're his entire world."

"He's my world." I smiled. "Shelby, do you think I can do it? Raise my daughter and go to Juilliard and try to get on Broadway. Is it an unattainable dream?"

"I don't think any dream is unattainable. And you are going to be a wonderful mother. You just have to sort her fathers out first."

"I know. I want them both to be a part of her life. Just, I don't know if that's going to work out. Noah, he, I don't even know Shelby!"I was sobbing now. She held me close.

"It'll all work out in the end Rachel. You just have to have faith."

"Thanks Shelby."

A/N: So who knows what the next chapter is going to be? I might give the first correct guesser a sneak peek …

I had to add the proposal, my little Finchel heart was begging for it.
