Shelby opened the door of her apartment and walked in with Rachel following her inside. She closed the door and looked at Rachel, who was looking around the small apartment.

"Sit down." Shelby told her. Rachel nodded and Shelby watched as Rachel walked over to the kitchen table and sat down on the chair.

"Do you want something to drink?" Shelby asked.

"Can I have a glass of water, please?" Rachel said.

"Off course." Shelby got a glass from the kitchen cabinet and filled it with water. She looked at Rachel who was just sitting at the table looking down.

It took a few minutes for Rachel to calm down in the classroom. Shelby didn't want to leave Rachel after seeing her so upset. She found out Rachel had actually walked to school that day. Shelby asked Rachel if she wanted to go to her apartment to talk about it then she could drive Rachel home. Shelby was a bit surprised when Rachel said yes.

"Here you go." Shelby said as she placed the glass of water on the table.

"Thank you." Rachel said.

Shelby went over to the other side of the small table and sat down. "So how far along are you?"

"About five weeks." Rachel said.

"When did you find out?" Shelby asked.

"Three days ago. I missed my period nearly two weeks ago. So I got a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was sure it was wrong. So the next day I got another one and that was positive too."

"So this is why you quit Glee Club and the musical?" Shelby asked.

Rachel nodded. "I couldn't see how I could play Maria with a baby bump. I quit Glee cause I don't want them knowing. I don't think I would be able to help them win Sectionals, Regionals and Nationals if I'm pregnant."

"I'm the first person you told?" Shelby said. Rachel nodded.

"Shelby, what am I going to do?" Rachel said as she started crying again.

Shelby grabbed a box of tissues of the kitchen counter and handed them to Rachel. "First I'm going to tell you what your not going to do, your not quitting Glee Club and your not quitting West Side Story. Okay?"

"I already gave the part to Mercedes so I don't I can be in the show now." Rachel said as she wiped her tears.

"Okay, we'll work something out with the musical." Shelby said. "It doesn't have to be tomorrow, but your going into that choir room and your going to tell Mr Schue that your joining Glee Club again."

Rachel nodded. "Okay."

"This is your last year in school, Rachel. I want you to stay in Glee cause I know you love it." Shelby said. "Now, have you thought about telling Finn?"

Rachel shook her head. "No, I'm scared to tell him."

Shelby watched as Rachel took a sip of her water. "Rachel, he's the father. He needs to know. He is going to be shocked but it's his child too."

"Promise you won't tell anyone?" Rachel asked.

Shelby nodded. "Rachel, don't worry. I won't say anything."

"I don't want Finn finding out from anyone else. I want to tell him." Rachel said.

"You have to tell him as soon as possible." Shelby said.

Rachel nodded. "I know. I don't even know how to tell him."

"Pick a night when you can talk to him alone. Tell him what you just told me. Rachel, I talked to Finn today during school. I know he will be there for you. He really loves you." Shelby said.

Rachel gave Shelby a confused look. "You talked to Finn today?"

Shelby nodded. "I was worried about you so I just asked him if you were okay."

Shelby saw a very small smile appear on Rachel's face. "Well, thank you for caring."

"Like I said before, I do care about you. I'm going to help you through this." Shelby said.

Rachel gave Shelby another small smile. "Thank you."

"Do you know when your going to tell your dads?" Shelby asked.

"Oh god." Rachel said before she suddenly started sobbing.

Shelby started to get very worried. "Rachel, what is it?"

"My dads are going to kill me." Rachel sobbed.

"Rachel, their not going to kill you." Shelby said calmly.

"They think getting pregnant so young is irresponsible. They always told me that they didn't want me get pregnant before I graduate or until I got married. Their going to be furious with me." Rachel sobbed harder.

Shelby got up and pulled her chair over to the other side of the table so she could sit next to Rachel. She sat down on the chair and put her arm around Rachel. "I know your scared. You need to tell them, Rachel."

"I can't do this." Rachel said between sobs. "I can't."

"Yes you can! Rachel, look at me." Shelby said. Rachel looked at her. "Your going to be fine. I'm going to help you through this, okay?"

"What am I going to do when the baby arrives? What am I going to do about college? How can I go to New York now?" Rachel said as she continued to cry.

Shelby wiped away some of Rachel's tears with her thumb. "Right now I think we should focus on telling Finn and your dads. We're gonna do this one step at a time. I'll take you to the doctors appointments for the baby."

"What about you?" Rachel asked. "Your busy enough with work and looking after Beth."

"Don't worry, I want to help." Shelby said.

Rachel looked around the apartment and suddenly realized that Beth wasn't there. "Where is Beth?"

"My friend is babysitting her. I don't have to collect her for another hour."

"What should I do when the baby arrives? What if I can't take care of it?" Rachel asked.

"I think you should talk to Finn first and see what he thinks." Shelby said as she took Rachel's hand. "Everything is going to be okay, Rachel."

Shelby looked up at the clock on her wall to see it was just after five o'clock. She knew Rachel's dads would be wondering where she was.

"I think we should get you home before your dads start wondering where you are." Shelby said as she stood up.

Rachel nodded and also stood up. Shelby watched as Rachel picked the glass she gave her and put it in the kitchen sink.

Shelby was just about to open the door when Rachel spoke.

"Thank you, Shelby. For listening to me and helping. I really needed someone to talk to."

"Your welcome." Shelby said with a smile. "Do you feel a bit better now?"

Rachel nodded. "I do. Thank you."

Rachel's eyes were still red from crying. She looked exhausted.

"Ready to go?" Shelby asked.

Rachel smiled and nodded. Shelby opened the door and herself and Rachel walked out. Shelby was happy that she helped Rachel.
