"Why were we told to come here when we have Glee rehearsal later?" Rory asked as he walked into the choir room.
"Just a little announcement." Mr Schue said.
"It better be important if you made us come here before school starts." Puck said.
Mr Schue laughed. "It's only a small announcement."
"Let me guess, is this about Nationals?" Mercedes said.
"You have to wait and see." Mr Schue said as he looked at the group.
"Well, look who's back." Santana said as she saw Rachel walk into the room holding hands with Finn.
"Hey guys." Rachel said with a big smile.
It was Thursday morning. Rachel left the hospital on Monday but was ordered to stay home from school and rest. Shelby finally agreed to let Rachel go back school.
"Guys, you have your announcement?" Ms Schue asked.
Rachel nodded and took Finn's hand as she looked at the group. "First of all, I just want to apologize for scaring you guys. Everything is okay. The doctor just wants me to go back for check-ups every few weeks until the baby is born."
"We're just glad you and the baby are okay." Kurt said, speaking for the group.
"Santana, I just want to say thank you for catching me when I fainted." Rachel said. "If you didn't catch me, I could have been in hospital for more serious reasons."
"Your welcome." Santana said with a smile.
"Seriously, thank you." Finn said as he placed his hand on Rachel's stomach. "You saved our daughters life."
"Daughter?" Sugar shouted.
"Your having a girl?" Kurt yelled.
Rachel nodded and smiled. "Yes. I'm having a girl."
Kurt was the first the run over and pull Rachel into a tight hug. The others then came over and pulled Rachel and Finn into a group hug.
"Congratulations!" Santana said.
"What are you going to name her?" Sugar asked.
Rachel smiled and looked down at her bump and smiled. "We don't know yet."
"Finn, Rachel, I am so happy for you guys." Mr Schue said as he walked over to them. "You guys are working so hard for when the baby arrives. This baby is lucky to have parents like you."
Finn smiled before he kissed Rachel.

Later that day Rachel was sitting in her English class. This was one of the classes Rachel didn't have with Finn. Ever since getting pregnant, Rachel hated not having Finn next to her in class. She just hated being alone since her dads kicked her out. She had Quinn sitting next her when Finn wasn't there. Rachel was thankful that she had Quinn.
Rachel thoughts were interrupted when she heard her name on the intercom. The announcement told her to go to Ms Pillsbury's office. Rachel got up and was about to take her bag when Quinn stopped her.
"Leave it here. I take it for you." She whispered.
Rachel smiled and whispered back. "Thank you."
Rachel walked down the hallway, wondering what Ms Pillsbury wanted to see her for. Rachel guessed it was to talk about the baby or college.
When Rachel walked into the office she was shocked by who she saw there. "Dad? Daddy?"
Both men were sitting on two chairs on front of Ms Pillsbury's desk.
"Rachel." Leroy said as he stood up and looked at Rachel's bump. "Wow, look at you."
"W-what are you doing here? Where's Ms Pillsbury?" Rachel said.
"I think she went to the principals office to get something." Hiram said. "She said we could use her office to talk to you."
"What are you doing here?" Rachel asked as she sat down on the chair closer to the door.
"Rachel, we wanted to apologize for what we did." Hiram said.
"Why are you apologizing now? You kicked me out last November." Rachel said. "You could have contacted before."
"Well, we tried to call you. It kept saying your phone number was disconnected." Leroy said.
Rachel remembered her BlackBerry in her pocket. She changed her phone number when she got the phone for her birthday.
"We knew you were staying with Shelby, we didn't think it would be a good idea to just turn up on Shelby's doorstep." Hiram said. "We wanted to see you."
"You have no idea how much stress I've been under." Rachel said as she tried to fight back tears. "So much stress that I ended up in the hospital. I needed you and you both turned your backs on me. I don't think you realize how much it hurts."
"Sweetheart, we love you. We regret what we did. We're sorry we hurt you." Leroy said.
Rachel finally let a tear fall. "I don't know if I should believe you."
"Rachel, we can understand that your angry and lost all your trust in us." Leroy said. "We wanted to see you for a while now."
"I want my daughter to have a relationship with the both of you." Rachel said, putting her arms around her stomach. "It's going to take a very long time for me to forgive you. I'll never be moving back in with you."
"We understand, sweetheart." Hiram said. "You know, we will be happy to help buy stuff for the baby."
Rachel didn't even look at her dad. "I think Finn and I can handle it."
Leroy nodded. "Well we better let you go back to class. Just remember we are here if you need anything. We're really sorry. We were shocked about you getting pregnant and we made a stupid decision. We will never forgive ourselves for it."
Rachel looked up into her dads eyes. Even though she was angry, she knew were dads were sorry for what they did. She didn't want to be angry with them but it still hurt when she thought about the fact they kicked her out. These were her dads, they raised her. She knew they were sorry.
Both men were about to leave when Rachel spoke.
"Before I got pregnant you talked about my graduation a lot. Your welcome to come if you want."
Hiram smiled at his only daughter. "We would love that."
"Also, I'm not going to stop you from being apart of my daughters life." Rachel said.
"Thank you. We'll talk to you soon." Leroy said.
Rachel nodded and watched as the two men left. She heard the bell ring and stood up to go and meet Quinn. She was having mixed emotions about this meeting with her dads. She was happy they finally made contact with her. She didn't want to get her hopes up and them coming to her graduation. She honestly didn't think they would come.

"I told you they would make contact with you." Quinn said as she closed her locker.
Rachel went straight to Quinn's locker after leaving Ms Pillsbury's office. Quinn was standing at her locker with Rachel's bag.
"I don't know how I feel right now." Rachel said as she leaned against the locker. "How did you feel when your mom contacted you?"
"When my mom finally came to see me, Beth decided she was ready to be born." Quinn said with a laugh. "I agreed to move back in with her while I was in the hospital. When I got out we talked about it. I was still hurt, but also I was happy she let me move back in."
"Do you think I did the right thing when I said I would never move back in with them?" Rachel asked.
Quinn sighed. "I can't answer that Rachel. It's your decision. The only person who can answer that is you."
"I don't think I'll ever able to live with my dads after all this. I just feel horrible."
Quinn put her hand on Rachel's shoulder. "Listen, just be happy you have Shelby. She takes great care of you and she adores you."
Rachel smiled and nodded.
"My advice, have a movie night with Finn tonight. I think that would make you feel better." Quinn said.
Rachel nodded. "I think that would be a good idea."
"Also, I have some news for you." Quinn said with a smile. "I heard back from some of the colleges I applied to in New York."
"Quinn, that's amazing!" Rachel said as she pulled Quinn in for a hug. "Your going to New York! What course did you apply for?"
"The stylist course. I found a drama course I'm going to apply for." Quinn said. "Also I found a nice three bedroom apartment to rent at a good price."
"Why a three bedroom apartment?" Rachel asked.
"I know when you get into NYADA your going to have to find a place to stay. I want you to be my roommate when you get there."
Rachel blinked back the tears that came to her eyes. "Quinn, I don't know what to say."
"Say yes." Quinn said with a laugh. "I can have my own room, so can you. The third room can be for the baby."
Rachel let one of the tears fall from her eyes. "Thank you so much, Quinn. I would love be your roommate. I can't thank you enough."
"I just want to help as much as I can." Quinn said with smile.
"You are seriously the best friend I've ever had." Rachel said, now in tears.
Quinn smiled again and pulled Rachel into a tight hug. Rachel honestly never thought herself and Quinn Fabray would ever be friends. She was so thankful for Quinn being there for her. Quinn was a really sweet friend. Rachel was so happy that she had Quinn as her friend.
