"Okay guys, We have Sectionals in one week so we have a lot of work to do." Mr Schue said to the group.
"Can I just say you guys were amazing when I helped you with your singing." Shelby said with a smile. "Your going to do great."
"Are we really going to do this without Rachel?" Artie asked.
"Looks like we have no choice." Mr Schue said. "She hasn't come back yet."
"That's actually what I came here to talk about." They heard a voice say. They looked over at the door and were surprised to see Rachel standing there.
"I want to apologize to you all for leaving with no reason." Rachel said as she walked into the room and stood beside Mr Schue. "I quit because of a very personal reason. I promise it was nothing to do with any of you. I wasn't really thinking when I quit. I really miss it here and if it's okay with you guys, I would like to come back."
Mr Schue smiled. He knew the full reason why Rachel quit. "Welcome back, Rachel."
Rachel smiled as she sat down next to Finn.
"Okay. So I'm going to help Rachel catch up with everything she missed out on. Then we can start rehearsing."
Rachel smiled again as she took Finn's hand. She wasn't gone for long, but it felt great to be back.
"So I guess you want to play Maria again." She heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw Mercedes.
Rachel nodded. "Yeah I want to be Maria. I also want us to share the part."
"I said that I didn't want it." Mercedes said.
"I know you do. Why would you audition if you didn't want it." Rachel said back. "Just do one night and one matinee."
"It's too late. I missed out on so much rehearsal. I won't be ready." Mercedes said.
"I'll help you." Rachel said. "I'll help you with the songs and the scenes. We can talk to Ms Pillsbury and see what she says. Okay?"
Mercedes nodded. "Okay. Thanks Rachel."
"Your welcome." Rachel said.
Rachel turned around and saw Shelby smile at her. Rachel smiled back and she felt Finn take her hand.
"I'm glad you came back." Finn said. Rachel smiled and put her head on his shoulder.

"I can't do this." Rachel said, feeling even more nervous.
Rachel and Finn were sitting inside Finn's car. They drove to Finn's house, getting ready to tell his mom the news. Now Rachel was terrified and didn't want to go in.
"Rachel, I'll talk to her. You don't have to say anything. I'll do all the talking." Finn said, trying to calm Rachel down. "We're doing this together, okay?"
Rachel took a deep breath and nodded. She opened the car door and got out. Finn also got out of the car and locked it. He took Rachel's hand and they walked into the house. Finn took his key out of his pocket. He opened the door and they both walked in.
"Mom!" He called as he closed the door.
"Hey guys." Carole said as she walked into the hallway.
"Where's Burt and Kurt?" Finn asked.
"Burt is at the shop and Kurt is out with Blaine. Why?" Carole said.
"Mom, me and Rachel have to talk to you about something." Finn said as he looked at Rachel.
"Is everything okay?" Carole asked, starting to get worried.
"Let's go into the living room." Finn said before they walked inside.
Carole sat down on the chair. While Finn and Rachel sat down on the couch across from Carole. Finn was still holding Rachel's hand since they got out of the car.
"Mom.." Finn said, feeling nervous about finishing the sentence. "Rachel's pregnant."
Carole gave them both a shocked look. "What? Are you sure?"
Rachel nodded. "I'm six weeks pregnant."
"Oh my god.." Carole said as she looked down.
"Are you mad?" Finn asked, nervously.
"No, I'm not mad. I'm just shocked." Carole said as she looked at the two teenagers. "I thought you guys would have been more careful. Finn, you remember what it was like when you thought you were the father of Quinn's baby."
"I know.. I'm sorry, mom." Finn said.
"Do you have any idea what your going to do with the baby? Are you going to keep it or give it up for adoption?" Carole asked.
"We haven't really thought about it yet." Finn said.
Carole looked over at Rachel. "Rachel, do your parents know about this?"
Rachel nodded then looked up at Finn.
"Do you want me to tell her?" He asked. Rachel nodded again. Finn gently squeezed her hand before he spoke. "Rachel's dads didn't take the news well. They kicked her out."
Carole couldn't believe what Finn just told her. She quickly turned to Rachel. "Sweetheart, where are you staying?"
"She's staying with her mom." Finn said.
"You guys do know that taking care of a baby is a huge responsibility. It won't be easy." Carole said.
Finn nodded. "We know. I'm going to work extra hours and the money I make is going towards the baby."
"I'm glad your taking this so seriously, Finn." Carole said with a small smile. She then turned and looked at Rachel. "Rachel, how are you feeling about this?"
"I'm scared." Rachel told her honestly. "I'm scared about what will happen when the baby arrives."
Carole got up and kneeled down on front of Rachel and held her hand. "Rachel, if you ever need anything just tell me and I'll do my best to help. Okay?"
Rachel nodded and blinked back tears. "Thank you Carole."
Carole got up and stood on front of the two teenagers. "Listen, it's your decision on what you want to do with the baby. I just want you to know that it is hard work taking care of a child. If you decide to keep it, I will help you guys."
"Thank you mom." Finn said with a smile.
Carole gave him a small smile. "Okay, I'm gonna get started on dinner. I'll call you both when it's ready."
"Thank you, mom." Finn said. Carole left the room and Finn looked at Rachel. "That wasn't so bad."
Rachel sighed and put her head on Finn's shoulder. "I don't think I would be able handle it if she didn't take the news well."
Finn kissed Rachel's forehead and looked into her eyes. "They know now."
"I'm so glad we told them." Rachel said as she closed her eyes.
Finn smiled down at his girlfriend. Telling their parents had to be the hardest part of all this. They got through it together.
