Chapter 2

Finn stood there in shock. He didn't expect to see Rachel when he came home. And then he noticed her huge baby bump. Rachel was pregnant? Wow, she looked so different. She looked like she hasn't been sleeping well. It was really weird seeing her again after all those painful months crying over her. Yes, he cried a lot. He never loved someone as much as he loved Rachel. After she broke up with him he was convinced he could never date other girls again. He was so confused. What was she doing here? She made it very clear that she didn't want anything to do with him anymore. Did she want to rub it in his face that she found someone better than him with who she was starting a family. He started to feel dizzy.

"R-R-Rachel…what a-are you d-doing here?" he couldn't help but stumble over his words. She stood up and walked towards Finn.

"Finn, I can explain." She said with tears in her eyes.

"There's not much too explain. Clearly you moved on without me. But what about being a star? You didn't want me to hold you back but apparently you let someone else hold you back. I can't believe you let someone knock you up after leaving everything behind to be a star. And now you just want to rub it in my face?" The tears were now streaming down her face and Finn was starting to tear up too. Kurt just sat there watching his brother and his best friend talk.

"Finn, that's not true. I didn't move on with anybody else. I lied to you when I broke up with you. I didn't broke up with you because I thought you were holding me back." Now was the moment to tell him. Kurt was right, He had the right to know. She took a deep breath before she continued. "I broke up with you because I didn't want to hold YOU back." He looked at her confused.

"What? I'm really confused right now. What do you mean?" He asked.

"Three days before I broke up with you I found out I was pregnant with your baby." she told him looking at the floor too scared to look at his face.

Finn couldn't believe what she just told him. Rachel was pregnant with his baby? She left him because of that? Why would she do that? There were thousands of questions he wanted to ask her but he just stood there without saying anything for minutes. Rachel was starting to get worried and looked up at him. He looked even more confused now.

"Finn, please, say something." She pleaded. Finn didn't answer but Kurt stood up.

"I'm going to my room so you two will have some privacy to talk about this." He said as he left the living room.

"Finn, please , I'm so sorry. I just…I couldn't tell you. I would be holding you back. You had such a hard time when you thought Quinn was pregnant with your baby, I just couldn't let you go through that again. I couldn't give up the baby though. I couldn't give my baby away after all the drama with Shelby so I decided to keep it. My dads paid the rent of my apartment in New York and for all the stuff I needed for the baby. I'm glad they didn't kick me out. It's hard to go to college while you're pregnant. I was so tired, everyone was always staring at me, talking about me behind my back. so I dropped out of college. I started looking for work, which is hard when you're pregnant. But eventually I found a job as a waitress. It doesn't pay that well but It was something. I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to tell you. But I was scared of your opinion so I decided to ask Kurt what to do first. He told me I should tell you but I told him I needed some time before I do. And then you showed up and I couldn't hide it anymore." She was sobbing now and he had to resist the urge to take her in his arms.

"You should've just told me." Finn finally said something.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to ruin your life" she confessed.

"Rachel! You wouldn't have ruined my life. When Quinn was pregnant I was upset because I wasn't In love with her. But, Rachel, I love you so much. You should've just told me." He told her as he took her hands in his.

"I'm so sorry. I've made a huge mistake not telling you back then. These last few months have been so hard for me without you." She stared in those eyes she missed so much since the last time she saw them.

"But you're here now, Rach. I want to take care of you and the baby. I want to be a part of this family." He said squeezing her hands.

"I don't know, Finn. What about your future? What will your family say? Are they going to be mad at me? And where will we live?" She was rambling, something she always did when she was nervous.

"Rachel, calm down. We'll deal with that stuff later. Right now, let me take care of you. Please?" he placed a hand on her belly.

"Well,…
