Rachel sighed as she parked her car in the school's parking lot. She got her bag that was sitting on the passenger seat. As she got out of her car and locked the door, she saw Finn walking towards her.

"You know, I have no problem picking you up and taking you to school." He said as he walked over to her.

"I don't mind driving." Rachel said before kissing him.

A week after Rachel's pregnancy came out to the school, things were finally starting to quiet down. They still caught a few people whispering about them. Now they had no problem going to school with the thought of people knowing.

"Are you okay?" Finn asked as they walked to the building.

Rachel smiled at him. "Yeah. I'm actually kind of happy that people know. I don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Well, I'm glad your okay. Now you just have to focus on Regionals and West Side Story." Finn said.

"Oh god." Rachel put her hand to her head. "We have Regionals next week."

"And your worried?" Finn said as he wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. "We're ready. We're going to Nationals."

Rachel smiled and put her arm around Finn. He always knew how to make her smile.

"Rachel!" Quinn called as she walked over to Rachel, who was standing at her locker. "Just the person I wanted to see."

"What can I do for you, Quinn?" Rachel said with a smile.

"I don't want you to do anything for me. I just want to ask you something." Quinn said.

Rachel nodded. "What is it?"

"Well, when I was pregnant with Beth, I bought all these baby clothes for her. I knew I was giving her up for adoption but I bought the clothes just incase I needed them." Quinn said. "Turn's out I didn't need them and I never got a chance to give them to Shelby. Now there in the back of my wardrobe. I know exactly what your going through and I know money can be a huge pain. So if you want the clothes you can have them. Most of them are white so they would be okay for a boy or a girl."

Rachel smiled. "Really? That would be great!"

"So do you want to come over to my house after school and get them? You could just follow my car." Quinn said.

"Sure. Thank you so much, Quinn." Rachel said as she closed her locker. "You have no idea how much that will help. Me and Finn have been saving towards college and stuff. I didn't even get a chance to buy anything for the baby yet."

"Well, maybe you can focus on getting a crib and other things now that you have some clothes." Quinn said with a smile. "So I'll see you after school?"

Rachel nodded. "Yeah I'll see you later."

She watched as Quinn walked away. Rachel would have never imagined Quinn helping her through her pregnancy.

Quinn's house wasn't that far from the school. Rachel followed Quinn's car to her house. Quinn's mom was at work so they were alone. They went up to Quinn's bedroom. It was big, the walls were white with pink patterns on it.

"Your house is really nice." Rachel said as she watched Quinn open her wardrobe.

"Thank you." Quinn said before reaching into the back of the wardrobe. She pulled out a bag and carried it over to her bed.

"Sit down." She told Rachel before she kicked off her shoes and got onto the bed.

Rachel sat down on the bed and watched as Quinn emptied the bag of clothes onto the bed. Rachel picked up one of the little outfits and smiled. "These are so small."

"Are you planning on finding out if it's a boy or girl?" Quinn asked.

"No, I think we're going to wait until the baby arrives." Rachel said.

Quinn nodded and started separating the clothes. "I got most of these after I found out I was having a girl. So I'll keep all the girly clothes and you can have the rest. That okay?"

Rachel nodded as she looked through the baby clothes. "Yeah that's fine."

"I'll give these to you if you have a girl." Quinn said as she put the girly clothes back into the bag and carried them to her wardrobe.

"Quinn, thank you so much. I really appreciate this." Rachel said.

Quinn smiled and started folding the clothes. "You don't have to thank me. I told you I was going to help. I'm here if you have any questions about the pregnancy."

"Were you scared?" Rachel asked. "When you were pregnant?"

Quinn nodded. "Terrified. You handled this a lot better then I did."

"Really?" Rachel asked.

Quinn stopped folding the clothes and looked at Rachel. "I kept it a secret from my parents for so long. My dad would have kicked me out anyway if I told them when I found out. I wish I had told my parents when I found out. I wish I had been honest with Finn and told him from the start that it wasn't his. It has been two years now and I still feel awful about hurting him. You did the right thing by telling your dads when you found out."

"I felt terrible for you when your parents kicked you out. I never realized how much it hurt until it happened to me." Rachel said.

"You have your mom. Your really lucky you have her to support you." Quinn said with a small smile.

Rachel nodded. "Yeah but I can't stop thinking about how much my dads hate me for getting pregnant."

"Hey, don't say that!" Quinn saw a tear roll down Rachel's cheek. She got up and sat down next to Rachel and put her arm around her. "Listen, I felt the same way. I haven't seen my dad since the night he kicked me out. My mom apologized so many times for what happened. Your dads don't hate you. They will make contact with you. If they don't then it's their mistake."

"They won't make contact with me. It has been two months." Rachel said as she wiped her tears.

"It was six months until my mom made contact with me." Quinn said while rubbing circles on Rachel's back. "Right now, you should just focus on yourself and the baby. As I said, if they don't make contact with you, it's their mistake."

"Thank you, Quinn." Rachel said with a small smile.

"Your welcome." Quinn said as she pulled Rachel in for a hug. "Just remember I'm here if you need to talk."

"I really appreciate it Quinn, thank you." Rachel said as Quinn let her go.

"Oh I almost forgot." Quinn said as she quickly got off the bed and went over to her bookshelf that was next to her wardrobe. She pulled a book out and handed it to Rachel.

"What is this?" Rachel asked as she looked at the book.

"It mostly explains what's going on with your pregnancy. You look up how far along you are and it will tell you what stages of development the baby is at. I found it really helpful when I was pregnant."

Rachel smiled. "Thank you, Quinn."

"Can I ask, what are you going to do about NYADA?"

Rachel sighed. "I'm not going. Well, not this year. Maybe next year. Ms Pillsbury recommended that I wait until the baby is older. What about you?"

"I don't even know what I'm doing yet. I love to preform but my family have told me I would be a good hair and make up artist." Quinn said.

"Well maybe you could do both. I can help you look at colleges and courses and stuff."

Quinn smiled. "That would be great."

Rachel smiled back. She never thought she would be starting a friendship with Quinn Fabray. Rachel was thankful that she could talk to someone who actually understood how she felt.

Shelby was out when Rachel arrived home. She told Rachel she would home late. Rachel walked into her room and put the bag of baby clothes on her bed. She stood on front of the mirror and lifted her shirt above her stomach. She put her hand over her stomach and noticed her bump was starting to show. She had a small bump. She knew it wouldn't be long until it got bigger.

Rachel thought about what her baby would be like. If it was a boy or girl. If it would look like her or Finn. These questions made Rachel feel excited for the baby arriving. Rachel couldn't wait to hold her baby in her arms.
