Rachel

She was awakened by a stabbing pain in her bladder. Her eyes began to flutter open and she realized how cold she felt. She was sure that Finn had been there when she went to sleep. She pulled herself up and made her way down the hall and into the bathroom. When she was finished she followed the sound of the television downstairs. Sitting on the couch was Finn. He had the news station on, but he wasn't really paying attention. Instead, he was looking through a book on his lap.

She ghosted down the stairs and quietly sat next to him. He broke the silence before she could speak, "Remember this day?" he asked.

She peeked over his arm at the photo album he cradled in his lap. On the page nearest to her was a picture of her and Blaine on stage during opening night of West Side Story. She could feel the smile on her face, "Of course I do."

He turned to her for the first time and his smile made her breath catch. She really missed it. He took her hand in his, "This was the day that you helped me realize, that my life wasn't over, that I could have other dreams. I always thought that I was a Lima loser, but you made me realize that I didn't have to be. That I could choose a new dream."

Her smile was sad and she focused her eyes on her lap, "That didn't really work out all that well did it?"

His hand went to her face and gently lifted her chin up so that she would look at him, "Rachel, you gave me the courage to try. I may have failed, and it will happen again, but I'm not afraid of it anymore. I know that you believe in me and that gives me the strength I need to keep trying." His hand dropped from her face to her swollen belly, "And you are giving me another reason to keep trying."

Her smile was accompanied by gentle tears falling from her eyes, "I'm so happy that you're back, and that you're okay. My dream of being in New York isn't complete without you and as much as I love Kurt, he is no replacement for you."

Finn's soft laughter lasted only for a second before he became serious, "I can't come to New York with you Rachel."

Her smile vanished, "What!? Why not?" There were so many more questions that she wanted to ask, but she couldn't bring herself to voice them.

He gripped her hands between his, "Rachel, I love you, and I want to come to New York with you, but I can't right now. My doctor is here…"

"There are doctors in New York. They're probably better there anyway."

He smiled, "Here I have access to the VA hospital where my treatment is paid for. My doctor knows all about my condition and my history. I have my mom here, who is a registered nurse, to take care of me…"

"I could take care of you," she replied quietly.

"I know you could, but until I can get the prosthetic leg and stuff, living in a third floor walk up would be a little hard."

She had to control the panic that was threatening to overwhelm her, "You're not coming with me to New York." It was a statement, not a question.

"I am, but not yet. I will be there for every doctor's appointment you have, and I will look for an apartment for us to share when I am able to move to New York."

"Promise?"

"I promise, Rach. Nothing is going to keep me from you for long."

Finn

He knew that Rachel was upset about him not going to New York right away, but he knew that it was for the best. Everything that he needed was here, with the exception of Rachel, and it would be very difficult to try and move right now. He wanted to be with Rachel. He had spent months without her and it took everything that he had to tell her that he couldn't be with her right now.

He lay there holding her, watching her peaceful face, and wishing that he could sleep. There was no reason for him to still be awake, he just couldn't sleep. He took to drawing simple patterns on Rachel's stomach just to have something to do. He wished that he could feel some kind of movement, but according to Rachel, it was too soon.

He couldn't wait until his baby was born. He remembered back to when he thought that Quinn was pregnant with his baby. He was so terrified. In all honesty he was glad that the baby ended up being Puck's. He couldn't have handled having a kid back then. Now, he couldn't wait to be a father. Part of it was the fact that he had grown up, especially these last few months, but the other part was because he was having this baby with Rachel.

Next week Rachel had a doctor's appointment and they would get to find out if the baby was a boy or a girl. He didn't really care either way. He was just happy to be here instead of in Iraq. He would get to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. He smiled contentedly as his eyelids began to droop. He fell asleep with an image of Rachel holding their little baby.

Kurt

He had a feeling that he knew what was coming. Finn was back which meant that he would be moving in. They couldn't all stay in that tiny apartment. He sighed. He just got a dream job working for Vogue and now he was going to have to find a place to live so that he could keep it. Santana seemed to be thinking the same thing as they locked eyes. Maybe they could just find a new apartment together.

Rachel walked in followed by Finn. Kurt looked at his brother who appeared completely relaxed, if not a little sad. Finn took a seat on his father's old recliner and gestured for Rachel to sit on his lap. Rachel locked eyes with Kurt and broke the silence, "I know that you are wondering what is going to happen with our living situation now that Finn is back." He and Santana nodded their heads, "Well I wanted to let you know that nothing is going to change."

Now Kurt was curious. Why wasn't Finn coming to New York, "What about Finn?"

His brother gave him a sad smile, "I have to stay here for a little while, at least until I'm more mobile. I can't handle the third floor walk up that you guys live in right now. Even when I get the prosthetic leg, I don't think I will be able to live there."

Santana jumped in, "So are you moving back here Berry?"

She shook her head, "No. I'm staying in New York with you guys until Finn is ready to join me. Then we will find a new place to live. Our apartment isn't big enough for all of us," she said while rubbing her stomach.

"We can look into getting a place that we can afford that will fit all of us. I wouldn't mind keeping you guys around for a little while," Finn added with a smirk.

Santana and Kurt exchanged looks before she replied, "We'll have to see how it goes."

Rachel nodded, "That's fair Santana. We can talk about it later if you would like."

Santana rolled her eyes, "If we're done here, I gotta meet Brit."

"Blaine is expecting me to see him before we leave," he added. They got up and moved toward the door. When they were away from Rachel and Finn he asked Santana, "What do you think?" he gestured back the way they came.

"I don't know. I've dealt with Rachel for months now, but I don't think I could handle both of them full time. It makes me sick when they start eating each other's faces," she said with a shudder.

Kurt laughed, but agreed, "Maybe we should talk to Rachel about taking over the lease in the apartment we're in now when she moves out."

Santana eyed him for a second, "Alright, Porcelain. Let's do it."
