It was Sunday morning. Exactly two days since Finn asked his mom if Rachel could move in. His mom or Shelby didn't say anything to them about it. Finn wondered if he should mention it again.
He picked up a photo of himself and Rachel that was on his bedside table. He had loads of photo's of himself and Rachel, but this one was his favorite. It was taken during summer, they were in the park. Finn was wearing his sun-glasses that Rachel got for him. Rachel's hair was hanging in loose curls. She was wearing a summer dress she bought in New York a few weeks before the photo was taken.
"Finn! Could you come here please?" He heard his mom yell.
Finn put the photo back and walked downstairs. He was surprised when he went downstairs and saw Rachel and Shelby sitting on the couch.
"What's going on?" Finn asked.
"Sit down." Burt told him.
Finn sat down next to Rachel and took her hand. Shelby stood up and looked at the couple.
"Burt, Carole and I talked about what you suggested."
"And?" Rachel asked.
"I think it's a good idea for you two to be together when the baby arrives." Carole said.
Burt nodded. "But if we decide to go ahead with this, there's going to be a few rules."
"Rachel, you have to help around the house. Help with the cleaning, dinner or anything Burt and Carole asks you." Shelby said.
Rachel nodded. "Off course."
"Also, you two are going to have a lot on your hands when the baby is born." Carole said. "You can sleep in the same room. The rule is no having sex. You can't risk Rachel getting pregnant a second time."
Rachel nodded. "We promise."
"I don't want to put Rachel through this all over again." Finn said as he gently squeezed Rachel's hand.
"Since you two are okay with the rules. Would this Saturday be okay for you to move in, Rachel?" Burt said.
"Seriously?" Rachel shouted before covering her mouth. "Mom, is it okay with you?"
Shelby smiled and nodded. "If it's okay with you."
"Thank you!" Rachel said as she got up and hugged Carole.
"No problem at all, sweetie." Carole said with a smile. "You can bring your stuff over during the week."
"Mom, Burt, Shelby, thank you so much." Finn said.
"No problem, Finn you have to clean out your room this week and make room for Rachel's stuff." Burt said.
Finn nodded and wrapped his arms around Rachel and kissed her.
"Shelby, would you like some coffee?" Carole asked.
"Sure." Shelby said before turning her attention to her daughter. "Rachel, I have to leave in a half an hour to get Beth. You want me to drive you home?"
Rachel nodded. "Yes please."
"Let's go upstairs." Finn said as he took Rachel's hand and walked upstairs with her.

The second they entered Finn's bedroom, Finn closed the door and Rachel wrapped her arms around him.
"I can't believe they said yes." She said. "I honestly thought they would never agree to it."
Finn took Rachel over to his bed and they both lay down. "This is perfect. The three of us can be together."
"Can I ask you something?" Rachel said as she lay her head on Finn's chest.
Finn kissed the top of Rachel's head. "You know you can ask me anything."
Rachel sat up and turned around so she could face Finn. "We haven't really decided on any more names that we both like. So are we going to name her Ella?"
Finn smiled as he also sat up. "I love that name. I'm not saying that cause of the story I told you about my mom."
"I love it too." Rachel said. "So it's official? Her name is Ella Hudson?"
Finn nodded. "Her name is Ella Hudson."
Rachel put her hands over her stomach and smiled. "She's kicking. I think she likes her name."
"No way. Really?" Finn said with a smile.
"Yes. Give me your hand." Rachel said before she took Finn's hand and placed it on her stomach. She then felt the baby kick. "Can you feel her kicking?"
Finn nodded. "It feels amazing."
"Finn, when are we going to tell your mom? She's going to be so happy." Rachel said.
"This Saturday." Finn said. "We won't tell anyone else. We'll let her be the first to know."
"Good idea. I can't wait to tell your mom." Rachel said. "I keep imagining what the baby is going to look like."
"I think she will look like you." Finn said.
Finn smiled and looked at her boyfriend. "She's going to look like you too."
"I love you." Finn said as he wrapped his arms around Rachel and kissed her.

Rachel opened the door of Shelby's apartment and held it open as Shelby walked in holding Beth in her arms. Beth had fallen asleep in the car as they drove home after picking her up.
"I'll going to put her in my room." Shelby said as she walked towards her bedroom. "I'll wake her before dinner."
"Okay." Rachel said as she sat down on the couch.
A minute later Shelby came back and sat down next to Rachel.
"Thank you for today, mom." Rachel said with a smile.
"No problem. I'm going to really miss you when you leave." Shelby said.
Rachel smiled. "We're still going to see each other though."
"Which reminds me to tell you about another rule." Shelby said as she looked at her daughter. "You have to call me everyday. For any reason if you can't call, I want you to text me."
Rachel smiled and nodded. "I promise. I'm going to see you everyday."
Shelby smiled and pulled her daughter into a tight hug. "I loved having you stay with me."
"I really loved staying with you." Rachel said. "I couldn't have done all this without you."
Shelby smiled as she brushed some of Rachel's hair away from her face. "How about we watch a movie until Beth wakes up?"
Rachel nodded and smiled. "Sounds great."
Rachel watched as Shelby got up and set up the DVD player. All Rachel wanted to do was enjoy her last week living with her mom.
