This was it. The most talked about day all year. Graduation.
Finn and Rachel couldn't believe this day had come so fast. Now it was the last week in May. They had finished their classes and had their last ever Glee meeting together. None of the group expected to cry so much. Mr Schue made their final Glee rehearsal an extra hour long. They cried, talked and even sang a few of the songs they have preformed together.
Other then graduation, Rachel was focused on the fact she was nearly one month away from her daughter arriving. She was so excited now. Herself and Finn set up the crib in their room. Rachel had all the clothes ready for the baby. They had everything they needed. Now they just had to wait until their little girl was born.
"Kurt, Finn, Rachel get together so I can take another photo." Carole said as she held up her camera. Shelby was standing next to her already taking photos.
The three teenagers, all dressed in their graduation gowns and hats, got together for more photos.
"I feel like I'm at a photo shoot." Kurt said before smiling.
"Now can I please take a photo with my beautiful daughter?" Shelby said. Kurt went over and took the camera from Shelby. Shelby put her arm around Rachel and they got their photo taken.
"Okay guys, we're going to be late so we better leave now." Burt announced.
Rachel sighed as she wrapped her arms around Finn's waist. All morning she was taking photos and being introduced to Finn and Kurt's family, who had come to visit them.
As they got ready to leave. It finally hit them that they were going to McKinley High for the last time.

Seeing everyone in their graduation gowns felt strange. The only people from New Direction who were not in graduation gowns were Sugar, Tina, Artie and Rory. Rachel was trying her best not to think of the fact this was their last time together at the school.
The weather was amazing. It was a really sunny summer day. It was great cause the graduation ceremony was being held outside. It was the perfect hot and sunny weather.
Rachel felt Finn tap her shoulder. She looked up at him.
"Look who's here." He said as he pointed to the over to the seats.
Rachel looked over and was shocked by who she saw standing there. She ran over to them at full speed. "Dad! Daddy!"
"Be careful, sweetie." Hiram said, afraid that Rachel would fall.
"I didn't think you would come." Rachel said with a smile. She couldn't believe they were here. Even though she was angry with them, she still wanted them to come.
"We wanted to see our little girl graduate." Leroy said. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you. This means so much to me that you came." Rachel said.
"Rachel, I know your still mad. I just hope you know how sorry we are for what we did." Hiram said.
Rachel nodded. She just felt happy that they were there. "I know. To be honest, I don't want to stay angry with you. I will never be able to forget what happened. I just don't want to be angry."
"We really miss you." Leroy said. "I know you said you would never come back home with us. Maybe we could meet up every few weeks."
Rachel nodded. Before she could answer she heard Quinn calling her. "Rachel! We're getting started!"
Rachel looked at her dads and smiled. "I better go. I'll talk to you guys later."
"Rachel!" Leroy called as Rachel walked away. Rachel turned around and looked at them. "When is the baby due?"
"July 2nd." Rachel said.
"Do you think we can see the baby? Once your out of the hospital?" Hiram asked.
Rachel smiled and nodded. "Off course."
Finn walked over to Rachel. Hiram walked up to Finn and spoke. "Finn, we want to thank you for talking care of Rachel and supporting her. "
"No problem." Finn said. "I love her and I would do anything for her."
"You guys better go and get ready." Leroy said as he saw the other students taking their seats.
Rachel smiled at her dads once more before walking away with Finn.

The ceremony was beautiful. None of then could believe they were at their graduation.
"Now, a very special treat." Principal Figgins said into the microphone. "Our National Show Choir Champions are going to preform for you."
The members of New Directions got onstage and sang 'Don't Stop Believing' on last time. Just like what they did at Regionals. By the end, the group were in tears. Their last time ever performing together.

After the ceremony ended, Rachel walked alone down the hallways of William McKinley High School. She felt herself get emotional as she walked past the auditorium. So much had happened in there. She walked past her now empty locker. The last place she went to was the Choir Room. Her favorite place in the school. The place in the school that Rachel felt was her home. She pulled the handle to find the door unlocked. She walked in and looked around. She let tears fall as she leaned against the piano.
She heard someone walk in and she turned around to see Finn there. "I thought I would find you here."
Rachel sighed and wiped her tears. "It's too hard to say goodbye."
Finn wrapped his arms around Rachel. "I know."
"Guys, there you are." Mr Schue said as he walked in. "Everyone is looking for you."
Rachel gave her teacher a teary smile. "I guess we were just saying goodbye to the school."
Ms Schue sighed. "I'll be honest, it won't be the same here without you guys."
Rachel nodded. "We're going to miss our friends and this choir room the most."
"You two are going to have an amazing future." Mr Schue said with a smile. "It will be hard. You can get through it together."
"That reminds me of something we want to talk to you about." Finn said. "You were always a father figure to me. We are all so thankful for New Directions. We will always thank you for starting it. Rachel and I talked about it, we want to ask if you would be the baby's godfather?"
Mr Schue smiled and felt tears come to his eyes. "I would love too. Thank you so much guys."
Finn and Rachel smiled and hugged Mr Schue.
"We better go to the others." Mr Schue said before the three of them started to walk out.
Rachel stayed behind them. She turned around and looked at the choir room one last time.
