Chapter 8-Mi Familia Part I
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee.
I realized that I was going to have Finn and Rachel struggle financially, but then I figured that would be boring, so I am just going to write some more fluff. Enjoy!
I am also going to make this a two-part chapter because I have a surprise for you all regarding Rachel and Finn's babies.
It was now September 23, a month away from Rachel's due date. School had begun and Finn was glad to now be attending the Ohio State University with Rachel, someone he truly loved.
"Rach, are you ready to go? You don't want to miss your first day of school." Finn yelled up to his wife from the living room.
"Finn, I'm not going."
"Why not?"
"Because I look like a whale and everyone is going to make fun of me."
Finn walked into their bedroom.
"Sweetheart, you are beautiful. Just remember that. And you want to know something? This weekend at our first game, I am going to throw a touchdown just for you and smile up at you so that everyone knows that you're mine. I love you, Rachel Hudson."
"I love you too, Finn Hudson" And with that, they walked out of their house and headed to school.

Since this was a new school for Finn and Rachel to adapt to, they had trouble finding where their classes were. Finn, who had decided to major in teaching, finally found his first class, English 112 after searching for roughly 10 minutes. Rachel was majoring in Music Education. Since her Broadway aspirations didn't pan out, she decided to take on her second ambition: teaching Glee club. Her first class was Spanish (she figured that since Mr. Schuester taught her so much of the language that she would give him the benefit of the doubt and continue taking Spanish throughout her college career.)
She walked into her Spanish classroom and made her seat in the back. Few people glared at her enlarged belly and scoffed before turning their heads back to the professor.
"¡Buenas días, clase! Mi nombre es profesor Rodríguez. ¡Bienvenidos a clase de español! Primero, yo quiero escribir tu información en la tarjeta en frente de tu." Rachel looked down at the card in front of her. Some of the questions she couldn't answer. She figured that she would just make the best of it.
Finn had the most horrible time in his class. First, he didn't realize that he had signed up for a remedial English class. Everyone in there appeared to have some sort of drug issue or seemed liked the kind who didn't whether they passed school or not. Careful not to make a disturbance, he quickly got up out from his desk and walked out without the professor even knowing.

Three hours had passed and Finn and Rachel's day had come to an end. They met up at the exterior parking lot and walked together to their car. Finn opened the door for his wife and then went over to the driver's side. He started the ignition and began to ask Rachel how her day was when he noticed a sad look on his wife's face.
"Hey, baby, what's wrong?" he asked.
"My water just broke!" she exclaimed.
"Seriously? But you're not due for a month!" he shrieked.
"Tell that to the babies. All I know is that I have to get the hospital and fast!" with that, Finn slammed his foot down on the accelerator and sped down the interstate to the nearest hospital.
They arrived at the hospital and Finn spotted an orderly with a wheelchair and quickly had the orderly wheel Rachel into the maternity ward. Rachel noticed her doctor and had Finn wheel Rachel into her room.
"Ah, how are we, Rachel?" Dr. Phillips asked.
"I want drugs!" she replied.
"We'll see what we can do" It was at that time that Finn realized that his parents as well as Rachel's hadn't been notified about their upcoming arrivals.
"Rach, babe, I am going to make a few calls and I'll be right back."
"Okay, and Finn, hurry!" she yelled as her husband left the room.
Finn quickly dialed his parent's number and Burt answered.
"Hello, Burt?" Finn questioned.
"Yes. What's up, Finn?" he asked.
"Oh nothing, it is just that Rachel is having the babies."
"What? Right now?" Burt asked.
"Yes, Burt, right now. It is still going to be awhile before they're born." And with that, Finn hung up the phone and dialed Rachel's dads.

"Gosh, it hurts so much. Why did I let you touch me?" Finn snapped at her husband.
"I don't know, because you love me."
"Oh, whatever, Finn. All I know is right now; I'd like to put your head through the wall."
Just then, Carole, Burt, Leroy and Hiram arrived at the hospital. Carole, who was a nurse there, knew what Rachel was experiencing. She asked Rachel if she could speak with Finn out in the hall. Rachel agreed.
"Finn, son, are you okay?" she asked.
"I guess I'm okay. What did I do? Why is Rachel being short with me?"
"Alright, since you're new at this. I am going to break it down gently for you. See, when a woman is in labor, the pain is very intense. She really isn't yelling at you, it's the pain that is doing the yelling. I want you to go in there and coach your wife until those babies are born. Understand?"
Finn nodded his head and went back inside. Rachel began to yell curse words at him again.
Dr. Phillips then came in to examine Rachel. He was surprised at how much Rachel's labor had developed in the short time that she and Finn had been at the hospital.
"Well, Mrs. Hudson, it looks like you're ready to push." Dr. Phillips tapped Finn on the shoulder to indicate that he needed to help Rachel out with this part.
Rachel was much more mellow now that she had received her epidural, but since her labor was progressing relatively well, the epidural was wearing off and she began to raise havoc again.
"Rach, babe, you're doing great! I love you" Finn said with encouragement.
"I love you too, but this is all your fault!" Rachel yelped in pain.
Finn grabbed his wife's hand as she pushed. A few moments later, crying filled the air. The first baby had arrived! Finn looked over to see his daughter. She was so beautiful and looked just like Rachel. He began to cry.
"Finn, don't do that now. What until the other baby is born." Rachel advised him. Finn agreed and once again grabbed Rachel's hand as she began pushing again.
"Alright, Rachel, one more push and your son will be here." Dr. Phillip told her.
Rachel pushed as hard as she could and a few moments later, more crying filled the room.
Finn glanced over to see his son, but he just stood there with a confused look on his face.
"Finn, what's going on?" Rachel asked.
"Well, umm, our son is actually a daughter." He told her.
"What? We had everything planned for a boy and a girl." Rachel began to glare at Dr. Phillips.
"I guess I read the sonogram wrong or what I thought was his thing was her arm." He just stood there stupidly leaving Rachel and Finn curious about what to do since they now had two daughters instead of a son and a daughter. First thing on their agenda was to name them.
AU: WOW! That was an exciting chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please review and I'll continue with the second part as much as I can. I have finals coming up so I am not really sure how much I'll be able to work on this. Much love, Stephanie
