Okay I just wanna say I know I've been updating a lot lately, but after chapter 7 there will have to be a wait for me to upload the other chapters. The reason is because I wrote these first 7 chapters in Septmeber/October. There only saved on my laptop and if anything happened and I lost them, I would not have the patience to re-write them all. So I'm trying to upload them all as soon as possible.
Also let me know what you think. ;) Enjoy!

The rest of the weekend Finn was still trying to accept the fact that in nine months he would be a dad. He didn't tell anyone. He spent the weekend thinking off what would happen when their child arrived. He was worried about how his mom would react. She was shocked when she found out Quinn was pregnant but then found out it wasn't Finn's child. How would she react when he told her this would happen again, only this time for real? Finn already came up with ideas to help. He planned on working more hours at Burt's Shop so he could save more money towards the baby. He was mostly worried about Rachel. He knew that Rachel wanted to wait until she was 25 to have children. He was worried about how she was handling things.
When he saw Rachel that morning he got even more worried. She was pale. She looked like she didn't sleep for days. She had her hair tied back and she was wearing a yellow dress.
"How much sleep did you get last night?" Finn asked when Rachel walked over to him.
Rachel sighed. "I don't know. One hour, maybe two hours."
"Rachel, you need to get some rest. Did you even eat breakfast this morning?" Finn said, getting even more worried about his girlfriend.
Rachel didn't look at Finn. She just looked down. "I felt like I would throw up if I ate anything."
Finn put his hand under Rachel's chin and made her look at him.
"You need to eat, Rachel. You need to take care of yourself and the baby." He whispered to her.
He took out an apple from his locker that he brought for lunch that day. He handed it to the small girl. "Here you go."
"Thank you." Rachel said with a small smile.
"Are you sure your okay?" Finn asked. "I'm worried about you."
Rachel shook her head, trying to hold back tears. "No, I'm not okay. I can't do this anymore, Finn. I can't keep it to myself. I'm telling my dads tonight."
Finn wrapped his arms around Rachel and hugged her tightly. "Are you sure your ready to tell them?"
Rachel nodded. "I'm sure. I need to tell them."
"You want me to be with you when you tell them?" Finn asked.
Rachel shook her head. "I need to do this alone."
"Okay but if you change your mind and you want me there, just call me and I'll be over straight away." Finn said before kissing Rachel's forehead.
"Thank you." Rachel said with a small smile. "I love you."
"I love you too." Finn said as he closed his locker. "Now, eat your apple before class starts."
Rachel smiled and took a bit of her apple as she walked to class with Finn.

Later that day Rachel was walking to her locker by herself, she was feeling a bit better after her talk with Finn. The fact she wasn't sleeping much was starting to catch up with her. She found it very difficult to stop yawning in her last class. She continued walking down the hallway until she heard someone call her name. She turned around to see Shelby standing at the door of the classroom. Rachel walked over to her. Shelby brought her into the empty classroom.
"Did you tell him?" Shelby asked as she closed the door.
Rachel nodded. "Yeah, I did."
Shelby went over to the table and pulled out a chair. She pulled out a second for Rachel. "How did he take it?"
"He was shocked but he took the news well." Rachel said as she sat down. "He said he was going to help me."
"Good." Shelby said with a smile. "I knew he would stand by you."
"I'm telling my dads tonight." Rachel said.
"Are you sure your ready?" Shelby asked.
Rachel nodded. "I can't keep it to myself anymore. I need to tell them."
"Okay. First thing in the morning come to me and tell me how it goes." Shelby said.
"Thank you." Rachel said with a smile. "Thank you for everything, Shelby."
"Your welcome, Rachel." Shelby said as she stood up. "I know telling your dads and boyfriend is one of the hardest things you'll have to do. I'm really proud of you."
"Thank you." Rachel said again.
"Okay, you better get to class before your late." Shelby said. "I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Bye Shelby." Rachel said as she got up and left the classroom.

Rachel knew she would be nervous when she told her dads that she was pregnant, but she was terrified. Now she wasn't sure if she was ready. She was standing on the staircase, looking at her dads who were in the living-room. Her dad, Hiram, was reading the newspaper. While Leroy was watching TV. Rachel sighed as she slowly walked down the stairs. She had to do this now.
"Dad?" She said nervously as she walked into the room. "Daddy?"
"What's up, Princess?" Leroy asked.
"What do you think about teenage pregnancy?" Rachel asked as she sat down on the arm-chair near the window. She hoped maybe their answer wouldn't be so bad.
"Rachel, you know exactly how we feel about teenage pregnancy. It's irresponsible. I don't understand why anyone would get pregnant so young." Hiram said.
Rachel looked down. Trying to control her tears that were threatening to fall. She knew her dads were not going to like what they were about to hear.
Leroy noticed the tears rolling down Rachel's cheeks. "Baby, why are you crying?"
Hiram looked over at his daughter and started getting worried.
"I have something to tell you." Rachel said while she tried to stop crying. "I'm pregnant."

Shelby was in her apartment, sitting on the couch. She was gently rocked Beth back and forth to get her to go to sleep. She was sitting there for a few minutes, listening to the heavy rain hit the window. The little girl finally closed her eyes and fell asleep. Shelby carefully got up and carried Beth to her crib. She gently lay Beth down in the crib, trying not to wake her. Just after Shelby got up she heard a knock on the door. She hoped Beth wouldn't wake up, but she stayed asleep. Shelby walked over to the door expecting Puck to be there, she opened the door and was shocked by who she saw there.
"Rachel?" Shelby said. Rachel was soaking wet from the rain. Shelby looked down to see two suitcases beside Rachel.
"Can I come in?" Rachel asked.
"Off course, sweetie." Shelby said, she picked up Rachel's suitcases and carried them inside. Rachel followed her.
"I-I told them." Rachel said, her voice was shaking. "They kicked me out."
"Oh, Rachel." Shelby said as Rachel broke down. Shelby pulled her into a tight hug. She held Rachel for a few minutes and let her cry.
"We need to get you out of these wet clothes." Shelby said as she let Rachel go. "Do you have pj's in your suitcase?"
Rachel nodded before she opened her suitcase and took out a pair of pink pj's with yellow stars on them.
"The bathroom is over there." Shelby said as she pointed to one of the doors. "Go take a shower to warm you up, then we can talk. Okay?"
"Thank you." Rachel said quietly as she walked to the bathroom.
While Rachel was in the shower. Shelby set up the baby monitors so she could hear Beth. She sat down on the couch and waited for Rachel. When Rachel came out Shelby sat her down on the couch and asked her what happened.
"M-my dad yelled at me for about ten minutes. My daddy wouldn't even look at me." Rachel said in between sobs. "Then my dad told me to pack my suitcases because he didn't want to look at me. I went upstairs and got my things when I came down he made me give him my house keys. I didn't have anywhere else to go so I came here."
"I'm sorry, Rachel. I can't believe they did that!" Shelby said as she hugged Rachel and stroked her hair.
"I have no where to go." Rachel sobbed.
"Your staying with me, okay?" Shelby said as she took Rachel's hand.
"What about Beth?" Rachel asked.
"You let me worry about Beth." Shelby said. "I have a spare room here with a bed in it. I was planning on turning it into Beth's room. I haven't started decorating it yet. You can stay in there for a while."
"Are you sure?" Rachel asked, tears still falling from her eyes.
"Yes, off course it's okay." Shelby said. "Your staying here now."
"Thank you." Rachel said.
Shelby hugged Rachel tightly. "Everything is going to be okay."
Shelby stayed there for a while with Rachel and just held her. Rachel continued to cry into Shelby's shoulder. Shelby was not letting her daughter go.
