"Kurt, thank you so much for helping me bring Rachel's stuff back to our house." Finn said as he walked down the hallway of Shelby's apartment building.

It was Saturday, the day Rachel was finally moving in. Finn hardly slept the night before because he was so excited. Rachel already left her car at Finn's house. Now they were bringing the last boxes and suitcases to the house.

When they walked into Shelby's apartment they saw something they didn't expect to see. Rachel was sitting on the couch sobbing her heart out. Shelby was sitting next to her, rubbing her back. When Shelby saw Finn and Kurt there, she got up and walked over to them.

"She might feel better if you guys talk to her." Shelby whispered before leaving the three teenagers alone.

They walked over to Rachel and kneeled down on front of her.

"Rachel, what happened?" Finn asked, hating seeing his girlfriend so upset.

Rachel was crying so much, she couldn't even speak. She just handed them a piece of paper that was on her lap.

"What's this?" Finn asked.

"I-It's my letter to confirm my audition for NYADA." Rachel said between sobs.

Kurt sighed as he took Rachel's hand. He got his letter before Rachel did. It finally hit Rachel that she was not going to NYADA this year.

"This is the letter I've been waiting for since I first applied. Now I can't go." Rachel sobbed.

"Rachel, I'm so sorry." Finn said before taking Rachel in his arms.

"Rachel, look at me." Kurt said. Rachel looked up at him with teary eyes. "You were not meant to go to NYADA this year. That doesn't mean you can't go. You can apply again next year. I promise when you get in, I'll be waiting there for you."

"Thank you, Kurt." Rachel said with a small smile.

"Come here." Kurt said before pulling his friend into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry, Rachel. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get you into that school." Finn said.

"I love you so much." Rachel said back.

"Guys, can I talk to Rachel alone for a second?" Shelby said as she walked in.

"Sure. We'll bring Rachel's things down to the car." Finn said before himself and Kurt got some of the boxes and one of Rachel's suitcases.

"What's going on?" Rachel said after the boys left.

"I wanted to talk to you about something important. I don't think I want to tell you now since you were so upset."

"What is it?" Rachel said, starting to get worried.

"I only had the job at McKinley for this year. Sweetie, I'm moving back to New York."

"When?" Rachel asked.

Shelby sighed. "End of July."

"No, mom! Please no!" Rachel started to sob again. "I need you! I need you here when the baby comes! You can't go!"
Shelby sighed. She knew telling Rachel now was a bad idea. She knew Rachel would react badly.

She put her hands on her daughters shoulders and looked at her. "Stop crying."

Rachel took a few deep breaths and struggled to calm down.

Shelby took Rachel in her arms and rocked her back and forth. "Listen to me, baby. I'm going to be here when the baby is born. I'm going to make sure everything is okay before I leave. You know if you need me for something important, I'll be on that plane back to you."

"I don't want you to leave so soon." Rachel said as tears continued.

"Your going to New York, right?" Shelby said with a smile. "We'll only be apart for a little while. I promise I'm not leaving until I get to hold my granddaughter."

Rachel smiled. "Promise you'll be there when the baby is born?"

Shelby took Rachel's hand and squeezed it. "I promise, I'll be there holding your hand the whole time."

"Good." Rachel smiled.

Both girls heard a knock on the door. They turned around and saw Finn there. "Can I come in?"
Shelby nodded. "Off course."
"Kurt went home with Rachel's boxes. I just came to get the last suitcase." He said.

"I'll bring it down for you." Shelby said before she carried the suitcase out.

Finn smiled and took Rachel's hand. "You ready?"

Rachel took a deep breath and nodded. "I'm ready."

Rachel spent most of her day unpacking and moving her clothes into Finn's wardrobe. She still couldn't believe she was living with Finn now. So far, she loved it. Carole, Kurt and Finn helped her unpack her things until it was time for dinner.

"Thank you, Carole. That dinner was amazing." Rachel said as she stood up and picked up the empty plates. "I'll get started with cleaning the dishes."

"No you won't." Carole said as she took the plates from Rachel. "I'll clean them. I don't want you cleaning on your first night living with us."

"Can I help you clean them?" Rachel asked.

Carole looked at Rachel and smiled. "No sweetheart. Go sit on the couch and relax."

"Actually mom, we want to tell you something." Finn said. "Sit down."

"What's going on?" Carole asked.

Rachel took a deep breath before she spoke. "Finn, told me this story about when you were younger, you always wanted to name your daughter Ella."

Carole laughed and looked at her son. "I can't believe you remembered. I told you that months ago."

Rachel smiled. "Me and Finn decided that, since you couldn't give that name to your daughter. We're going to give it to your granddaughter."
Carole looked at the teenagers and started to tear up. "You guys are really going to do that for me?"

Finn and Rachel both nodded.

"Thank you." Carole said with tears falling from her eyes as she pulled the teenagers into a hug.

After an hour of watching TV with Finn, Kurt, Carole and Burt, Rachel noticed it was just after eight o'clock.

"Carole, is it okay if I use your shower?" Rachel asked.

"Rachel, you don't have to ask if you can use the shower. Go ahead." Carole said.

"I think I might go to bed after I have a shower." Rachel said as she stood up. "I'm really tired."

"Aright honey. We'll see you in the morning." Carole said with a smile.

"Goodnight." Rachel said to them before she walked out.

"You think she's happy here?" Carole asked.

Finn nodded. "She just had a really long day. She told me she loves it here."

Finn got ready in the bed in the bathroom while Rachel got changed his bedroom. When Finn walked into his bedroom he saw Rachel there, drying her hair and dressed in her pajamas. She turned the hairdryer off when she saw Finn there.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey. You okay?" Finn said as he closed the door.

Rachel nodded. "Just a really long day. I'm tired."

Rachel yawned after finishing that sentence. Finn smiled at her. "You look tired. Let's go to bed."
Finn pulled down the covers on the bed and helped Rachel climb in. He covered her with the blankets and kissed her. He then turned off the light and got into bed beside her.

"Finn." Rachel said as she looked at him. "I'm sorry. All the attention has been on me these past few months. I know this much be stressful for you too."

Finn smiled and kissed her again. "All I care about is you and Ella. I want you both to be safe and happy."

"We are." Rachel said as she started to closed her eyes.

She cuddled close to Finn and was asleep in minutes. Finn kissed her before holding her close. "Goodnight beautiful."
