"I never want to stay in a hospital ever again!" Rachel said as she walked into Shelby's apartment.

"You do know you have to stay in the hospital again when you have the baby." Finn laughed as he closed the apartment door. Finn carried Rachel's bag inside and put it next to the coffee table.

"Yeah, but that will be different." Rachel said as she took off her coat and sat down on the couch. She was still wearing the pink pj's she wore at the hospital. The doctor told her to rest when she got home. Since she was going straight to her moms apartment she didn't bother getting changed.

Finn went into Rachel's bedroom and got the blanket off her bed. He went back to Rachel and let her down on the couch and covered her with the blanket.

"The doctor said you need your rest. So, do you want to watch a movie?" Finn asked.

"Actually, I need to talk to you about something important." Rachel said. Rachel told her mom about the baby before she left the hospital. Shelby said she would take Beth out so Rachel could be alone in the apartment with Finn.

"What is it?" Finn said as he sat down next to Rachel.

"Could you give me my bag?" Rachel asked as she sat up, resting the blanket across her lap.

Finn nodded and handed Rachel her bag.

"I got another scan this morning." Rachel said.

"Why? Is everything okay?" Finn said.

"Everything is fine. I just wanted to make sure everything is okay." Rachel said before reaching into her bag and pulling out an envelope. She handed it to Finn.

Finn opened it and saw the new pictures of their baby. "Wow. Look at it! It looks so different from the first scan."

Rachel nodded. "She's growing."

Finn froze and looked at Rachel. "She?"

Rachel nodded again. "That's your daughter, Finn."

"Y-you found out what it was?" Finn said while tearing up.

Rachel nodded as tears came to her eyes. "They asked if I wanted to know and I couldn't say no. I'm so sorry. I know we were going to wait, after what happened I needed to know. Please don't be mad at me."

Finn took Rachel in his arms and held her close. "I'm not mad. I just can't believe I'm going to have a daughter."

"I was so scared, Finn." Rachel said as she started to cry. "They told me so many times that everything was okay. I was still so scared that I was going to lose her."

"Hey, look at me." Finn said as he gently took Rachel's hand. "Your not going to lose her. Okay? In four months we're going to have a healthy little girl. I don't want you to worry."

Rachel smiled through her tears. "The doctor did say she had a healthy heartbeat."

"You see, everything is fine. I want you to stop worrying."

Rachel smiled and rested her head on Finn's shoulder. She looked at the pictures. "She's so little."

Finn smiled and pointed to the pictures. "That's her little head."

"You see that?" Rachel said as she pointed to a little white shadow over where the baby's stomach was. "That's her arm. The doctor said it looked like she was waving."

Finn laughed. "That might have been her way of saying 'I'm okay, mom. Stop worrying.'"

Rachel was about to answer when she felt something in her stomach. "She's kicking. I think she agrees with you."

"You see, our little girl wants you to stop worrying." Finn said.

Rachel smiled and pointed to the second picture. "She started sucking her thumb when the doctor took that picture."

"That's so cute." Finn said while staring at the picture of his little girl. "I can't wait for her to arrive."

"I know you had your heart set on naming the baby after your dad." Rachel said.

Finn smiled at his girlfriend and kissed her forehead. "It doesn't matter. I just want our baby to be healthy."

Rachel wrapped her arms around Finn's neck and kissed him. "You are going to be a great dad. I know it."

"Did you tell your mom yet?" Finn asked.

Rachel nodded. "I did. She cried when I told her."

"I know she's really excited about the baby." Finn said.

Rachel nodded and rested her head on Finn's shoulder. "My mom won't be home for another few hours. What do you want to do?"
"Well, the doctor said you need to rest. You want to just cuddle and watch TV?" Finn smiled.

Rachel smiled and nodded. "Sounds great."

Both Finn and Rachel lay down together on the couch. Finn got the blanket and put it over them.

"You comfortable?" Finn asked as he wrapped his arms around Rachel.

Rachel lay her head on Finn's chest so she could see the TV. "Yes."

Finn got the remote of the coffee table and started looking through the channels for something himself and Rachel could watch. He used his right hand to work the TV remote and his left hand to stroke Rachel's hair. After a few minutes of looking through channels, Finn finally decided to watch a movie on one of the channels. He looked down at Rachel and noticed that she had fallen asleep. Her head was still resting on his chest. He put the remote down and wrapped his arms around his sleeping girlfriend.

For a few minutes he just stared at his sleeping girlfriend. He stroked her a hair and moved one hand towards her stomach. He placed his hand over her bump and gently rubbed circles on it. He still couldn't believe he was going to have a daughter in four months. He imagined what his daughter would look like. He knew this little girl would have her moms personality. He couldn't wait until she finally arrived. He knew things were going to be hard when the baby arrived but Finn couldn't wait to be a dad.
