Mr Schue was in his classroom grading the Spanish exam he gave to his students the week before. It was 7:45am. He couldn't get Rachel off his mind. He was worried since he didn't hear from Shelby, so he had no idea how Rachel was doing. He looked at the open classroom door and was surprised to see Finn walk past.

"Finn!" He called.

Finn entered the classroom and smiled at Mr Schue. "Morning."

"What are you doing here so early?" Mr Schue asked.

"Well, Rachel left her bag in her locker, she asked me to get it for her." Finn said as he sat down at one of the desks.

"Is she okay?"

Finn nodded. "She's fine. The baby is okay. She's still in the hospital though."

Mr Schue smiled, happy knowing Rachel was okay. "So you won't be in school today?"

Finn shook his head. "No, Rachel is leaving the hospital today so I want to bring her home. Quinn isn't coming in. She's going to stay with Rachel until the doctors let her leave."

"Well, I'm glad she's okay." Mr Schue said. "I guess it was pretty scary for you."

Finn nodded. "I wish there was more I could do for Rachel. To make her feel better about all this. She still gets upset about her dads."

"Finn, you are doing an amazing job. Your doing everything you can for her and the baby." Mr Schue said. "Rachel is lucky because she has you and Quinn."

Finn smiled. "I love her. You know if she has a boy we're naming him after my dad."

"That's great, Finn." Mr Schue said. "I'm sure your father would be very proud of you."

"Thank you." Finn said. "I better go and get Rachel's bag from her locker."

"Okay, have a good day." Mr Schue said as he watched his student leave the classroom.

Just after ten o'clock, Quinn arrived at the hospital to stay with Rachel since her mom had to work. Quinn had stayed up late the night before, texting Rachel. Rachel hated the hospital. She hated being there alone. Quinn decided to stay with her until she could go home.

When Quinn arrived at Rachel's room she was surprised to see Rachel wasn't there. She just guessed Rachel was in the bathroom, so she sat on the bed and waited for her. After ten minutes Rachel didn't come back. Quinn started to wonder where she was.

Quinn saw a small blonde nurse walk past the room. Quinn quickly ran over to her. "Excuse me, could you tell me where Rachel Berry is?"

"Oh, she's getting a scan done at the moment. She should be back in a few minutes." The nurse said.

"Thank you." Quinn said before going back into the room. She started to worry about Rachel. Why was she getting a scan? Did something happen during the night?

Quinn waited for another five minutes. It felt like hours before Rachel finally came back into the room. She was wearing her pink pj's.

"Hey, where were you? Is everything okay? The nurse said you were getting a scan." Quinn said.

Rachel walked in and placed her hands over her bump. "I asked the doctors to give me another scan. I needed to make sure my baby was okay."

"We already told you the baby was fine." Quinn said.

"I know but I had this feeling there was something wrong. I needed to make sure everything was okay." Rachel said. "I'm sure you would have done the same with Beth."

Quinn nodded. "Your right, I would have."

Rachel sighed. "I needed this scan. If there was something wrong with my baby and it wasn't noticed, I would never be able to forgive myself."

"So what did the doctor say?" Quinn asked.

"Everything is fine." Rachel said with small smile. "The doctor said the baby has a very healthy heartbeat."

Quinn smiled. "Good. So maybe now you can relax."

Quinn took Rachel's hand and brought her over to her bed. Rachel got on the bed and lay down.

"I'm going to go down to the store and get some magazines for us to read. The doctor said it will be a few more hours until you can leave." Quinn said as she pulled the blankets over Rachel. "Maybe you could try and get some sleep while I'm gone."

"I need to tell you something." Rachel said as she sat up. "You have to promise not to tell anyone."

"What is it?" Quinn asked as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

"When I was getting my scan done, the doctor told me something." Rachel said as she looked down.

"What did the doctor tell you?" Quinn asked, preparing herself for what Rachel was going to say next.

Rachel looked up at the blonde and tears started falling from her eyes. She smiled before she spoke. "I'm having a girl."

"No way!" Quinn said with a smile as she pulled Rachel into a tight hug. "That's so amazing! Your going to have a daughter!"

Rachel smiled and wiped away one of her tears. "The doctor is going to give me pictures from the scan before I leave."

Quinn let go of Rachel and held her hand. "Have you told Finn?"

Rachel shook her head. "He doesn't know I got the scan, I didn't want to worry him. The doctor asked if I wanted to know what I was having, after everything that happened I couldn't say no."

Quinn smiled. "Finn is going to be so excited."

"I going to tell him tonight when I get home." Rachel said. "I really don't want to tell him while I'm in the hospital."

Quinn nodded. "I think that's a good idea. I'm so happy for you."

Rachel looked down at her bump and smiled. She was happy knowing her daughter was okay. She still couldn't believe she was having a girl. Now all she wanted to do was go home and tell Finn her big news.
