Rachel sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. She fixed her blue dress before she put her hair into a side ponytail. She was feeling better after herself and Finn told their parents about the pregnancy. She felt like a small bit of the stress was taken away from her. She was hurt after her dads kicked her out, but she kept telling herself that she had to stay strong. She still found it hard to believe that she was pregnant. Now she was worried about the baby coming and how she would take care of it.

It felt strange living with Shelby. Her room was tiny. Very different to her old room. There wasn't even enough room to walk around. Rachel's suitcases and boxes were all over the room. She had gone back to her house while her dads were at work and got the rest of her things. She used the emergency key to get in, her dads wouldn't even know she was there. She missed her old bedroom. She was just happy now that she had a bed to sleep in. If Shelby wasn't there to help her this could have been a lot worse.

Shelby was doing so much for Rachel. Shelby moved Beth's crib into her room. Rachel wasn't eating much when she was with her dads due to the stress she was under. Shelby made sure that Rachel would eat breakfast and dinner everyday. Rachel would still get a few looks from Beth. Anyone could tell Beth had a connection with Quinn. Shelby got Rachel to do small things, like preparing bottles and meals for Beth. So Rachel could get an idea of what it would be like when her baby arrived.

It was Saturday morning. Rachel had planned on going to Finn's house for the day. She got her bag and her phone and got ready to leave. She walked out of her bedroom while putting her phone into her bag, not really paying attention to anything around her.

"Rachel?" She heard a voice say. Rachel looked up and saw Quinn. She was sitting on the couch with Beth on her lap.

"Quinn, What are you doing here?" Rachel said, starting to panic.

"I came to see Beth." Quinn said. "What are you doing here?"

Rachel quickly tried to think of something to say. Shelby was in the kitchen and could hear them talking. She quickly walked over to them.

"Rachel's dads had to go away for the weekend. Rachel didn't want to stay at home alone so she's staying with me." Shelby said with a smile as she put her arm around Rachel.

Quinn gave them a confused look. "Rachel, I thought you stayed at home alone while your dads were away before?"

"Yeah.. But a few weeks ago a group of people broke into my neighbors house. I wasn't really comfortable staying home alone after that happened." Rachel said, praying that Quinn would believe her.

Quinn still had a confused look on her face, she knew something was going on. "Oh I see."

Rachel just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. She started walking towards the front door. "Well I better go. I don't want to keep Finn waiting. I'll see you in school, Quinn."

Quinn nodded. "Yeah, I'll see you in school."

"I'll walk you to your car." Shelby said as she followed Rachel. Shelby then turned to Quinn. "Quinn, will you be okay on your own with Beth? I'll only be gone for five minutes."

"Yeah, don't worry." Quinn said as she turned her attention back to Beth.

Shelby closed the apartment door and walked out with Rachel.

"Rachel, I'm so sorry." Shelby said as herself and Rachel walked out of the apartment block. "I should have warned you that Quinn was coming over."

Rachel opened the door and both girls walked outside. "You warned me last night, Shelby. It's my fault. I forgot she was coming over."

"Well, I should have reminded you this morning." Shelby said.

Rachel was now starting to panic. "She knows there's something wrong. She's going to find out."

"She won't find out!" Shelby told Rachel as they got to Rachel's car. "Don't worry."

"She's suspicious now." Rachel said as she unlocked her car door.

Shelby put her hands on Rachel's shoulders. "Listen to me, Rachel. If anyone asks why your staying with me just say your dads are out of town."

"What if anyone from Glee see my dads? They will know we're lying." Rachel blinked back tears.

"Okay, then we will just say their redecorating your bedroom or something." Shelby said calmly. "Next time, Quinn or Puck come over to see Beth, we will be more careful that they won't see you. Okay?"

Rachel nodded. "Okay."

"We'll talk more about this later." Shelby said before opening the car door. "Just go and have fun with Finn. Try not to worry about it."

Rachel nodded and got into her car. "Thank you, Shelby."

"Your welcome, sweetie." Shelby said before closing the car door. She watched Rachel drive away. She stayed there until Rachel's car was out of sight.

"Hey Rach." Finn said with a smile after opening the door and saw Rachel standing there.

Rachel didn't say anything. She just wrapped her arms around Finn and hugged him tightly. "You won't believe what happened this morning."

"What happened?" Finn asked as he looked down at his girlfriend. "Are you okay?"

Rachel nodded and let go of Finn. "I'm fine. Let's talk upstairs."

Finn took Rachel's hand and they both went upstairs to Finn's bedroom. Rachel sat down on Finn's bed while Finn closed the bedroom door.

"So what happened?" Finn asked as he leaned against the drawer and looked at Rachel.

"Quinn saw me." Rachel said.

Finn gave her a confused look. "What do you mean Quinn saw you?"

"She saw me at Shelby's apartment. She came over to see Beth." Rachel said.

"No way." Finn said before going over and sitting beside Rachel. "What did she say? Did she find out?"

Rachel shook her head. "No. Shelby told her that I'm staying there while my dads are away for the weekend."

"She believed you?" Finn asked.

Rachel nodded. "Yeah. We have to be careful, Finn. We can't let Quinn or the Glee Club getting suspicious."

Finn sighed and wrapped his arm around Rachel. "Rach, their going to find out sometime."

Rachel nodded. "I know. I don't want them to know yet. I want to tell them when we're both ready. I guess I'm just scared of their reaction."

"Don't be scared." Finn said as he held Rachel's hand. "I'm going to be there with you through all of this."

Rachel smiled before she kissed Finn. "I love you."

"I love you more." Finn said as they both lay down on the bed.
