Rachel took a deep breath as she looked at herself in the mirror. She just finished her hair and make-up and was now dressed in her costume. Rachel's costume could cover her bump. It was opening night. Rachel smiled to herself, after all the rehearsals the show was finally here. She turned around and saw Quinn standing behind her.

"You look amazing, Maria." She said with a smile.

Rachel laughed as she walked over to Quinn and looked at her costume. "You look awesome."

"Thank you." Quinn said, looking down at her costume.

Rachel walked back to the mirror and looked at herself. "Are you sure my bump can't be seen?"

Quinn nodded and walked over to stand next to Rachel. "Don't worry. You won't even notice it."

"Good. I don't want to make it obvious to the audience that I'm pregnant." Rachel said. Most people in the school knew Rachel was pregnant but she didn't want her character to look pregnant.

"You can't see the bump with your dress." Quinn said.

"You look amazing!" Finn said as he walked in, holding flowers.

"What are you doing here?" Rachel said with a smile as Finn walked over to her. "I thought we were going to meet up after the show."

"I know but I couldn't wait to see you." Finn said before he kissed Rachel and handed her the flowers.

"These are beautiful." Rachel said with a smile. "Thank you."

"I'll talk to you guys later." Quinn said before leaving the couple alone.

Rachel sighed as she put her flowers on her make-up table. "Well if I don't make it to Broadway, our child defiantly will. It's not even born yet and it already has loads of experience onstage."

"Hey, you will make it to Broadway. Don't ever think that you won't." Finn said, taking Rachel's hands. "I'm never going to let you give up on this."

"I love you. Thank you for supporting me so much." Rachel said.

"I love you too." Finn said as he looked a Rachel stomach and placed his hand over her bump. "Is it kicking yet?

Rachel shook her head. "No not yet."

"Not much longer until it arrives." Finn said with a smile.

"Finn, are you worried about when it arrives?" Rachel asked.

"Worried about what, Rach?"

"About money and raising this baby." Rachel said.

"Rachel, stop worrying." Finn said as he put his hands on her shoulders. "We're going to be fine."

"I know but what's going to happen when the baby is here." Rachel said. "We may be ready for when the baby arrives, but what about the baby growing up? We need to plan our futures and get jobs to raise our baby."

Finn gave Rachel a kiss on her forehead. "Rachel, we're going to be okay. I promise. We started saving and I have my job in Burt's shop. Please don't worry."

Rachel sighed. "I guess I just have to much on my mind."

"Don't worry. Tonight is opening night." Finn said with a smile. "Focus on the show and enjoy it. Okay?"

Rachel nodded. "Okay. Thank you."

"Rachel!" Santana called as she ran over to them. "We're going on in ten minutes. Ms Pillsbury wants the cast to meet behind the curtain now."

"You better go to your seat." Rachel said to Finn before giving him a kiss.

"Break a leg." Finn said with a smile.

Rachel smiled as she walked with Santana to meet up with the cast.

"Artie, these are for you." Santana said as she stepped forward and handed flowers to him. "To thank you for everything you have done for us."

"Thank you, guys." Artie said. "I want to thank you for all your hard work these past few weeks. This show is going to be amazing. Also I want to say a huge thank you to Rachel. These past few months have been really hard for her and she still managed to work hard in rehearsals."

Rachel smiled as she walked over to Artie to give him a hug.

"Let's get into a show circle." Artie said as Rachel let him go.

The group got into a circle and put their hands in the middle.

"Let's kick some ass!" Puck shouted.

Rachel was happy she had Finn in the audience watching her. She was thankful that Finn was there for her. She knew things could be a whole lot worse if she was going through this alone. At some points during the show, the thoughts of going to New York were on Rachel's mind. She wondered how long it would take for her to make it to New York. She loved every second onstage playing Maria. She hoped she would be able to play Maria again in the future when she got to New York.

They all walked onstage for their curtain call. Rachel and Blaine walked onstage together holding hands. Rachel smiled when the audience stood up for them. Just as the curtains started to close, Rachel felt something in her stomach.

She placed her hand on her stomach as she felt something that felt like butterflies. It took her a few minutes before she realized what it was.

"You okay, Rachel?" Blaine said as he looked at the girl.

"It kicked." Rachel said. "The baby, it kicked!"

When the curtain was fully closed Rachel ran offstage at full speed to Finn, who was at the side of the stage.

"Hey, you were great." He said. Rachel wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tight.

"Finn, It kicked! The baby kicked for the first time during the curtain call!" Rachel said with a huge smile.

"No way!" Finn said. He had never seen Rachel this excited before.

Rachel looked down and placed her hands over her bump. "C'mon baby. Do it again."

Finn walked behind Rachel and wrapped his arms around her, putting his hands on her stomach. He kissed the top of her head before he spoke. "I guess this means our baby will be a Broadway fan."

Rachel smiled and looked up at Finn. "It's kicking again."

Finn gently rubbed circles on Rachel's bump. He knew it would still be a few weeks until he could feel the baby kicking. He smiled knowing his son or daughter was now kicking. He was now even more excited about becoming a dad.
