Rachel was standing in the middle of the stage practicing her singing. She smiled to herself as she finished. She looked around the stage and put her hands over her now slightly visible bump. Opening night was in two days, Rachel was ready. She looked around and saw Finn standing at the side of the stage.

"I thought rehearsals ended an hour ago?" He said as he walked towards her.

Rachel nodded. "It did. I wanted to practice some more."

"You excited?" Finn asked with a smile.

Rachel nodded. "Very excited."

"So there's something I wanted to talk to you about." Finn said, starting to sound serious.

Rachel started to feel worried. She walked over to the piano and sat down. "What's going on?"

Finn kneeled down on front of Rachel so he could look into her eyes. "I heard back from one of the colleges here. I got an interview."

"No way. The college for Football Management?" Rachel said with a smile.

Finn nodded. "The college that was most recommended to me."

"Finn, that's great. So if they accept you, are you going?" Rachel asked. She knew Finn really wanted this.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you first." Finn said. "The course is for two years. While I'm there I can decide if I want to stay longer or not. What do you think?"

"I think you should go." Rachel said. "Out of all the colleges you applied to, you wanted to go to this one the most. It's in Ohio so you can continue working for Burt."

"And it's a 20 minute drive away from my house. So I wouldn't have to move far away. I can still be close to you and our baby." Finn said with a smile.

Rachel nodded. "Yeah. We can still be together. When I do go to New York maybe you could apply for a college or job there."

Finn smiled, knowing going to this college could make things so much more better with the baby. "While I'm in college, you could stay home with the baby or get a part-time job."

Rachel smiled. "Sounds great. Finn, we're both going to be here for a while. If it makes you happy, go for it."

Finn smiled and pulled his girlfriend into a tight hug. "I love you so much. I promise I will do whatever I can for you when your ready to apply to NYADA again. I'll make sure you make it to Broadway."

Rachel smiled. "Your the most amazing boyfriend ever."

When Finn let her go, Rachel picked up her bag and put it over her shoulder. She placed her hands over her bump and smiled. "I've been reading the book that Quinn gave me. It says the baby should start kicking any day now."

Finn smiled as he walked over to Rachel and put his hands over her bump. "No kicks yet?"

Rachel shook her head. "I can feel very small movements but it's not kicking yet."

"Can I ask you something important about the baby?" Finn asked.

Rachel nodded. "Off course."

"I know we haven't talked about names yet. If we have a boy, can we name him Christopher? After my father." Finn said. "It's just, I was so young when he died and I always said if I had a son I wanted to name him after my dad.."

Rachel stopped Finn before he could finish. She took his hand and smiled. "Finn, I would love to name our child after your father."

Finn smiled and kissed Rachel. "Your the best girlfriend ever."

"So, we're naming it Christopher for a boy. Any ideas for a girls name?" Rachel said.

Finn shook his head. "No ideas yet."

Rachel smiled again. "Don't worry. We have loads of time to decide on a name."

Finn put his hand over Rachel's stomach. He gently stroked her bump with his thumb. "I can't wait to meet our baby."

Rachel smiled. "Me too. Do you think we will be good parents?"

"I think so." Finn said with a smile. "I wonder will it be a big sports fan like me. Or if it will love singing and Broadway like you. This baby was with you for Sectionals and Regionals. It will be with you for the musical and Nationals. So I guess our baby will be a big music fan."

Rachel laughed. "I think your right."

"We better go. Their announcing the senior class president now." Finn said.

"Oh god! I totally forgot. Let's go." Rachel said before taking Finn's hand.

Finn let go of Rachel's hand and took her bag off her shoulder. "Let me carry this for you."

Rachel smiled and held Finn's free hand as they walked out of the auditorium.

"Where have you two been?" Kurt said when he saw Rachel and Finn walking down the hallway.

"Did we miss the election results?" Rachel said, feeling disappointed.

Kurt nodded. "Where were you guys?"

"We were just talking about stuff about the baby." Finn said as he placed his hand on Rachel's bump. Rachel looked up at him and smiled.

"How did the election results go?" Finn asked.

Kurt smiled. "Your looking at your new senior class president."

"No way!" Rachel said with a huge smile before giving Kurt a hug.

"Congratulations!" Finn said.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there." Rachel said before letting Kurt go.

Kurt smiled. "Don't worry. Planning your little family is more important then the election. Blaine and I are going to Breadstix for a little celebration tonight. Would you like to join us?"

"Are you sure?" Rachel asked.

Kurt nodded. "Off course. I couldn't have won without your help."

"Me and Finn would love too." Rachel said with a smile.

"Great, you can come over at six." Kurt said before himself, Rachel and Finn started walking down the hallway. Kurt put his arm around Rachel and whispered to her. "By the way, I'm helping you pick out things to buy for the baby."

Rachel laughed. "Sure."

Rachel linked arms with Kurt and held Finn's hand. She smiled to herself as they walked down the hallway together.
