A/N: I'm a little bit disgruntled by how few reviews I got for the last chapter. PLEASE REVIEW! It keeps up my confidence that people actually like this randomness I come up with in my head.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for…

NPOV:

I was woken up in the middle of the night by a sudden yell. I got up and stumbled quickly to Rachel's room to see Quinn kneeling on the bed next to her, smoothing Rachel's hair and whispering in her ear soothingly. Quinn had insisted on staying here a couple weeks ago. She'd told Rachel that her "dad and Noah are useless and Hannah's too young to help you much. I'm coming to stay with you till the baby's born." And I have to say it, I was glad she was there. Quinn seemed to know exactly when to leave Rachel alone and when to comfort her, she always knew exactly what to do about the little nuances that Mr. Berry and I were clueless about. Not to mention, she was a halfway decent cook.

"What's wrong?" I asked the girls.

"Well, gee I don't know, the baby's coming!" Rachel screamed at me.

"Okay, isn't it a bit early?"

"Only a couple days. Perfectly normal." Quinn stated calmly. "Now Rachel breathe, sweetie. Puck, go get her dad and call Finn."

"Shelby too." Rachel muttered.

"Okay, Shelby too." Quinn repeated. As I walked away I heard Rachel explaining to Quinn,

"I just need my mother now."

"I know Rach. Trust me, I get it."

I knocked on Mr. Berry's door sharply. He appeared within seconds.

"Rachel?" He asked hoarsely. I nodded and we turned to go back to her room. As we reached it I saw Hannah walking out into the hallway.

"Go get dressed." She ordered us. I sighed; I guess we couldn't go to the hospital in our pajamas. I ran and threw on some clothes quickly. Returning to Rachel's room I saw Hannah grabbing a duffel bag out of the closet. Of course Rachel had packed a bag for this weeks ago.

"Her dad went to get the car, help her downstairs Puck." Quinn told me forcefully. I obeyed her order quickly, scooping Rachel up into my arms and carrying her to the car. As Quinn and Hannah got in the backseat with Rach, Quinn looked at me.

"Did you call Finn and Shelby?"

"Oh shit!" I hurriedly pulled out my phone, dialing Finn's familiar number.

"Moron." Rachel said, with a moan of pain.

"Finn?" He grunted sleepily. "Dude, Rachel's having the baby. Get your ass to the hospital."

"Crap. I'm on my way! Tell her I love her." He hung up but not before I heard a crash in the background. I didn't even want to know what that was.

"He says he loves you." I told Rachel. Quinn grabbed my phone.

"I'll call Shelby." She dialed quickly, I had no clue how she actually knew Shelby's number but whatever, and relayed the message in a very businesslike way.

Before I knew it we were pulling up to the hospital. I got out and picked Rachel up out of the backseat. I carried her inside and told the nurse frantically,

"She's having the baby!"A nurse brought up a wheelchair quickly and I settled her into it. A nurse pushed her to a room with the rest of us following behind. Just as they got Rachel on the bed, Finn came bursting in the door.

"Am I on time? Did I miss it?"

"You're just in time for the fun part." Quinn commented dryly.

"Fun for who?" Rachel asked. Shelby entered the room, a sleepy Beth trailing behind.

A doctor walked in behind her.

"Who's staying?"

"I think I'll pass." Mr. Berry said, kissing Rachel's cheek and grabbing Beth and Hannah's hands, towing them out of the room.

"The rest of you stay!" Rachel ordered. The doctor handed us scrubs to go put on.

Let me tell you, seeing a girl you care about through labor, is not any easier the second time around. It shouldn't have shocked me that it was even worse. Rachel's a lot louder than Quinn in general and it was no exception.

"How much longer?" She screamed angrily.

"You took fourteen hours baby." Shelby told her matter-of-factly.

"FOURTEEN FUCKING HOURS?" Rachel yelled. I couldn't hold in a laugh, it was the first time I'd heard her swear without prompting. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?"

"Nothing Rach."

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" She screamed at me as the next contraction came. Finn looked like he was going to pass out.

"It'll all be okay Rach." He said softly. I could have told him that that was a mistake.

"I HATE YOU!"

Finally the nurse told her to give one last push.

"MOMMY, HELP ME!" She screamed as another cry was added to her own. I gasped as the nurse held up a tiny little baby, she was so beautiful. I heard a loud noise in the corner. Finn had fainted. I laughed at the sight. Wimp.

"Is he okay?" Rachel asked nervously. She was the one who'd just delivered a baby and she was worried about her wimp of a boyfriend. I rolled my eyes.

"He's perfectly fine." A nurse said, straightening up after quickly checking on him. "Just shock I suppose." Another nurse walked up to me.

"Do you want to cut the cord?" I looked at Rachel, unsure. She nodded and smiled encouragingly. The nurse guided my hands as I had to cut the last attachment between Rachel and her daughter. The nurses finished cleaning her off and gently laid the baby in Rachel's arms. She was the tiniest and most beautiful thing I'd ever seen, besides Beth of course. My two girls.

"I'm going to go get your dad." Shelby said softly, squeezing Rachel's hand. Quinn followed her out. Finn had managed to get himself off the floor and he came over to stand on the opposite side of the bed from me.

"What's her name Rach?" Rachel looked up at us, smiling.

"Eliza Noelle Berry. Eliza is of course from 'My Fair Lady,' a future star needs a star's name." She didn't say how she'd picked the middle name but we all knew. I sneaked a glance at Finn, he was staring at Rachel a smile on his face. Well maybe Finn didn't know.

Mr. Berry came running into the room then, followed closely behind by my sister and Quinn.

"Hey Grandpa." Rachel said softly to her father. He smiled reaching his arms out for his granddaughter. After settling Eliza in his arms, Rachel looked questioningly at Quinn.

"Shelby took Beth home. She said she'd be back later, when it's actually today."

"Oh. What time is it?" I looked at my cell phone.

"4:35"

"Wow." After Hannah and Quinn took their turns holding Eliza, Mr. Berry stood up.

"What do you say we head home girls? Everyone needs some sleep and we can come back here later." Quinn and Hannah both nodded and followed him out. I decided I'd stay a bit longer, I hadn't even held Eliza yet.

"Here, Noah come hold her." Rachel invited me. As she placed the tiny little girl in my arms I felt a thrill of fear. What if I dropped her? As I looked at her, the worry evaporated. She was perfect, little Eliza. I stood there just looking at the perfect little baby in my arms for a while, I could hear Finn and Rachel talking in the background but I didn't pay any attention to their conversation, my whole world right now consisted of this tiny baby girl. After a while I decided that maybe Finn deserved a turn holding Eliza.

"What If I break her?" He asked nervously.

"You won't break her Finn. Here come sit." Rachel patted the bed and he sat gingerly. I placed Eliza in his arms carefully. He smiled at her.

"So I've been thinking and this can totally work out…" Rachel was off on one of her famous Rachel Berry rants. Something about a dysfunctional but loving family for baby Eliza. It didn't even matter; I knew what I was going to do already. I looked up at Rach, Finn had returned the baby to her and she was clinging to her daughter as she explained her crazy plan. Finn had placed his arm around her and they looked like the perfect family. Who was I kidding? They were the perfect family and Rachel was Finn's girl. I couldn't believe I had ever been so stupid to forget that fact. She was Finn's girl and always had been. Any dreams well, that's all they were dreams. I couldn't take any more of it. I yawned loudly.

"I think I probably need to go and take a nap. Finn could I borrow your car? I'll come back up with your dad Rach." He tossed me the keys easily. I leant down and kissed Rachel's cheek then stroked a finger along Eliza's soft small face. "See you guys later."

I walked out of the hospital tears threatening to roll down my face. I turned and slammed my fist into the wall of the hospital.

"Idiot!" I told myself firmly. "She was never yours and she'll never be yours stop stop hoping." A couple of old ladies gave me a funny look as I got in Finn's car and slammed the door with a bit more force than necessary. I peeled out of the parking lot with only one thing on my mind. Rachel.

A/N: There's only one chapter left!

I tried not to go into too much detail for the birth a) because I don't know that much and b) because I didn't want to.

How do you guys like the name, I know a lot of you were pulling for Noelle Caroline but I decided it was too much Noah and Finn wouldn't be able to let it slip past.

One more chapter! How would you guys feel about a sequel? I think I'm going to write it whether you like it or not.

So? Thoughts? Suggestions? Rotten Tomatoes? Let me know!
