"Ready to go, sweetie?" Shelby asked as she walked into Rachel's hospital room.
Rachel was sitting on her bed. Holding Ella in her arms. "Yeah I'm ready. I just want to go home."
Rachel got off the bed and gently placed Ella into her car seat carrier. She put on the straps and reached over to the bed and got a small blanket. She wrapped the blanket around Ella to keep her warm.
Ella was now a day old. The doctors agreed to let Rachel leave since herself and Ella were okay.
"Isn't she adorable?" Rachel said as she looked up at her mom.
Shelby smiled and nodded. "She looks just like you."
Rachel carefully lifted the carrier up and looked at her mom. "I just fed her, so maybe she will sleep in the car." Rachel smiled.
Shelby smiled again at her daughter. "Your handling this so well."
"I want to make sure I'm a good mom to her." Rachel said.
Shelby put her arm around Rachel and looked at Ella. "Your doing an amazing job."
"Is Finn at home?" Rachel asked.
Shelby nodded. "Yeah he is. He wants to make sure Ella's first time going home is special."
"He's so sweet." Rachel said, smiling. "Can we leave now? I don't want to keep Finn waiting."
"Lets go." Shelby said as they walked out of the hospital room with Ella.

Rachel smiled as she walked towards Finn's front door. She handed her space key to her mom. As Shelby unlocked the door, Rachel looked down at her baby girl. "Welcome home, Ella."
They walked inside and Rachel looked around wondering where Finn was. She walked into the living room.
"Surprise!"
Rachel covered her mouth and saw everyone from New Directions standing there. She looked down at Ella to make sure the noise didn't scare her. She looked around the room to see pink balloons. There was a banner on the wall that said 'Welcome Home Rachel And Ella.'
"Surprise." Finn said as he walked over to his girlfriend.
"I can't believe you did this!" Rachel said before pulling Finn into a tight hug.
"Can I hold my goddaughter?" Quinn asked as she kneeled down next to Ella's carrier.
Rachel laughed and nodded. "Sure."
The group watched as Quinn lifted Ella out of the carrier. This was their first time seeing the baby. They couldn't believe it.
"Oh my god. A second Rachel Berry." Mercedes said looking at the baby. "She's beautiful."
"Rachel, she looks just like you." Tina said, looking at Ella's dark hair and brown eyes.
"She's a cutie, isn't she?" Quinn said as she sat down on the couch with Ella in her arms. "Puck, could you bring my bag over?"
Puck was holding Beth in his arms. He picked up Quinn's bag and brought it over to her. He put Beth down and the little girl walked over to see the baby.
Quinn reached into her bag and pulled out a pink box. She handed it to Rachel.
"What's this?" Rachel asked.
"Open it." Quinn told her. "Little present for Ella."
Rachel opened the box and saw a tiny gold bracelet. It had Ella's name written on it and a little star on it.
"It's going to take a while until it fits her." Quinn said.
Rachel smiled and looked at her friend. "Quinn, you didn't have too."
"I wanted to get something for my little goddaughter." Quinn said.
Rachel wrapped her arms around Quinn and gave her a tight hug. Everyone gathered around to see Ella.

Later that night, after everyone had left Finn, Kurt and their parents were cleaning up. Rachel got changed into her pajamas while Finn was spending time with Ella. Now Rachel was sitting on the couch, trying her best to calm down her crying daughter.
"I don't know why she's crying. I fed and burped her." She said.
"Sweetie, she might be just tired." Carole said over the Ella's crying. "Now would be a good time to put her to bed. Take her upstairs where it will be more quiet."
Rachel nodded and stood up. "I think I'll do that."
"Go straight to sleep when you put Ella to bed." Carole said. "You look tired."
Rachel smiled and nodded. "I will."
A few minutes later Finn walked downstairs into the living room after getting ready for bed. He was expecting to see Rachel there, but she wasn't.
"Did Rachel go to bed?" Finn asked.
Kurt was taking down the banner from the wall. "She went upstairs to get Ella to sleep. So how does it feel to be a dad?"
Finn smiled. "It feels amazing. I can't believe she's my daughter."
Kurt smiled and looked at his stepbrother. "You know Ella is just like Rachel. I noticed a lot of things that makes her just like you."
"Really?" Finn asked with a smile.
Kurt nodded. "She's going to get more like you as she gets older."
"I know she has Rachel's personality." Finn said, laughing. "Do you need help cleaning up?"
Kurt shook his head. "No, go upstairs to Rachel and Ella."
Finn smiled before walking out. "I'll see you in the morning."

When Finn walked into his bedroom he saw Rachel sitting on the bed with Ella in her arms. Rachel looked at Finn, smiling and with an excited look on her face.
"I sang to her and I got her to go to sleep." She said.
"Well done." Finn said as he watched Rachel stood up and held Ella close. Rachel walked over and gently put her into her crib.
"She looks so tiny." Rachel said, looking at her sleeping daughter.
Finn smiled and kissed Rachel's forehead. "She's perfect. I think we should get some sleep. Ella will most likely wake up during the night."
Rachel nodded and yawned. "Good idea."
Finn watches as Rachel went over to the bed and turned of the bedside lamp before she lay down. Finn went over and closed the bedroom door and turned of the light.
"Ella is really popular with the Glee Club. Everyone wanted to hold her today." He said with a laugh. When Rachel didn't answer he turned around and looked at her to see she had fallen asleep. He smiled as he walked over to her and covered her with the covers. He turned off the lamp before getting into bed beside her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "I love you."
