First off, I would like to thank all of guys for giving this story such good reception already. I love the concept of this story, and it makes so happy to see that so many of you like it as well. I really want to make people happy and writing these stories gives me the opportunity to do just that. If you haven't noticed I have an obsession with babies and pregnancy experiences, hope you all enjoy.
Rachel is 6 weeks pregnant now and her morning sickness is still horrible and making her really miserable. She hates being off work, but she knows it's the best and safest thing to do for herself and for the baby. She wants to be busy, when she's not, it makes her depressed and gives her negative body image. Although Rachel isn't quite showing yet she is gaining weight and she isn't dealing with that so well, Rachel feels hideous the only thing keeping her from being even more miserable is the tiny life that is growing inside of her. Her baby."
"Finn, I look horrible I'm gaining so much weight, I really dislike being pregnant right now." Rachel says while standing in front of the mirror before she and Finn leave for their dinner date.
"Rachel baby, you look beautiful and you're not even showing at all." Finn tells Rachel as he gives her an assuring smile.
"You sure I really do not look fat at all?"
"I am one hundred percent positive, you are not fat , you are positively glowing. You are an unbelievably gorgeous pregnant woman."
"You're lying."
"Rachel, I promise you, I'm not lying to you at all, I would never do that, look at me, I know this hard on you, but I'm not going to let you beat yourself up like this, it's not good for you and it isn't good for the baby either."
"I know, it's stupid, I'm sorry, it's just so hard to get used to all of these changes so quickly."
"It's not stupid, and it has to be pretty difficult, just don't be so hard on yourself, okay? You look gorgeous."
"Thank you so much you know, for putting up with me."
"There's no need for a thank you Rach, you're my wife and you're pregnant. I would kind of be a shitty husband if I didn't take care of you and make you feel better and all that, don't you think?"
"You're so nice."
"I wasn't just being nice I am telling the truth."
"Well whatever it is you are doing ,I appreciate it. Now enough sappy stalling on my part. Let's get going."
Dinner is very nice and filled with talking about the baby.
"So do you have a gut feeling on what the gender of the baby is?" Finn asks Rachel.
"I'm pretty sure it's a boy. I'm hoping it is. I've always thought our first baby would be a boy, but who knows." Rachel says with a smile.
"Yeah, that's kind of funny, I have always thought the same thing." Finn replies
"I know you want a boy so hopefully that's what the baby is."
"Rachel, I told you that I don't care what our baby is."
"I know you did, but I can tell from your face when we are in the store and we go in the baby section and see all the baby boy clothes and stuff."
"You're good."
"But if it's a girl, you will be totally wrappedaround her little finger. I know you."
"Yeah you're right, but either way, I'm going to be so happy."
"Me too."
Rachel is really glad it's summer because it means that Finn is home with her until late August when school starts back up again. She knows she probably would have gone crazy already if Finn wasn't at home to take such good care of her.
"Finn, are you sure you have to go back to work in a few weeks, it's so nice to have you here to take care of me and to make sure I don't do anything stupid." Rachel says.
"You'll be fine without me, you always are." Finn says smiling
"Yeah, but I'm pregnant this time."
"Ok, then let me correct myself, you and the baby will be fine without me."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"You will be just fine, you're only going to be a couple months pregnant when school starts, and you aren't due until March so it's not like you'll go into labor the first day I'm back at work."
Rachel smiles. "Yeah, you're right."
"So, I got you something for the baby."
"Finn, we don't even find out what the gender of the baby is until I'm 20 weeks along."
"Doesn't matter, trust me, you are going to love it."
"Okay."
Rachel opens the bag set in front of her and smiles widely.
"Oh my goodness! You made our baby a build-a-bear." Rachel squeals
"You like it?" Finn asks
"I love it, where on earth did you get this idea?"
"I found some of our old stuffed animals while cleaning out the attic, and I figured we could keep them for the nursery, and then I thought the baby would need a special one of his or her very own."
"It's adorable!"
"I knew you would."
"You are going to be such a good father, you know that?"
"Not as good of a parent as you are going to be."
"I still don't believe you about that."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm scared and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm going to be a horrible mother."
"No you won't, I promise. No one who wants this as badly as you do could ever be a bad mother."
"But I just can't help but think that because it took me so long to get pregnant, that I'm not meant to be a mother."
"Yes you are, there's no way you're not."
"I'm so sorry, it's just hormones. They are driving me nuts, and making me upset all the time, I can't help it"
"Yeah, I know, it's okay. I know you aren't the way usually are right now."
"I hate it so much."
"I know you do."
"I love you, I love you so much, thank you for putting up with me."
"I love you too, and I'm not just putting up with you, I'm like this because I care about you and I care about our baby."
Rachel's constant crying is kind of freaking Finn out, he's knows it's probably just her pregnancy hormones and stuff, but still he can't help but worry about her.
"Hey Rach?" Finn asks
"Yes Finn?" Rachel replies.
"Would you be opposed to me buying you a dog, like just a little puppy?"
"No, but why are you thinking of buying me a puppy?"
"Well, I'm going be back at work for the school year in almost three weeks, and I thought you might like to have some company while I'm at work, also I won't be as worried about you if you are not going to be completely alone while I'm gone."
"That's sweet, but you really won't need to worry about me, I'll be just fine."
"I don't know, you've been kind of sad lately and I don't want you to be alone when you're feeling like that, okay?"
"Finn, what do you mean? I'm not going to do anything stupid. You know I won't. I wouldn't do anything crazy. "
"It's not that, I know you want but no one should ever be left completely alone when they are sad especially not you."
"You are literally the greatest, most kind and considerate husband ever, you know that? I have absolutely no clue what I would do without you."
"I just want make sure you are happy."
"I am right now, but no telling what I'll be like two hours from now with these stupid pregnancy hormones."
"Hey, at least your crazy hormones are just another reminder that you are finally pregnant and we are actually having a baby after two years of trying."
"Yeah, ridiculous mood swings and puking my guts out are just fabulous reminders that I'm having a baby, not."
"You are so silly sometimes, you know that."
"Yeah, I am practicing for having to constantly be silly when the baby is finally born."
"I think you'll be good at, you are a natural when it comes to dealing with children."
"Yeah, I guess that maybe you're right, I will be a good mother."
"No maybe is necessary Rachel you are definitely going to be a really good mother."
"Well you must be pretty sure about this."
"I am, you know I never lie to you."
"So, a spring baby, isn't this exciting we can take our kid for strolls in Central Park, and maybe even go to the zoo."
"Yeah it is all very exciting. You being a bad mother my ass, that's for sure."
"Finn, language!"
"Oh look another sign that you won't be a bad mother, the baby isn't even born yet and you are already telling me to watch my language around it."
"Okay, you win, you're right, again."
"See, I told you."
"Yeah, you did, thanks again for getting the baby that teddy bear by the way. That was a very sweet thing for you to think of doing."
"Oh, it was no problem. After all, this baby is my kid too and I'm just as excited about this as you are."
"I still think you're going to be the better parent."
"Rachel, please stop it with that when I say that you are going to be a kick ass mom I mean it, you know I do."
"Yeah, I just worry about it a lot."
"You shouldn't you are going to be the best damn mother all of New York and maybe even this whole entire planet has ever seen, trust me I know you better than you think I do."
"Finn Hudson, you are the world's biggest kiss ass sometimes. I swear to God." Rachel teases
"No, I'm not, I'm just honest, very honest." Finn replies, and he means everything he's just said about her. Rachel knows he does.
