Puck approached Rachel and Quinn sitting next to each other after having finished his moving performance of 'Beth'. "Quinn? Rach? Can you forgive me?" Quinn and Rachel looked to eachother and then back to Puck before they opened their arms and hugged him. As Puck sat down, Quinn with a massive smile on her face and little tears in the corners of her eyes
"I-I think I want to name the baby Beth!" Quinn was so happy until she looked over at the scowling pregnant woman on the other side of Puck and as the diva breathed deeply calming herself she began.
"Oh honey, you know I love you, right? But ah… I was kind of hoping to name my child that." Rachel said clearly getting one of her mood swings.
"Rach, they're our children why does it matter which one has the name Beth?" Quinn said trying not to be drawn into a fight especially with the whole of glee club surrounding them.
"Because you're little girl is only like 7 pounds! I have to push out a 15 pound behemoth! I think I deserve it more!" It was not an exaggeration; it was true. The baby wasn't exactly making it easy for Rachel; the bigger it was the more it amplified the effects of pregnancy so it seemed. She was hormonal, moody, hungry and horny, especially horny. There hasn't been a night since she moved in with Rachel that she hasn't had her bones jumped. The only thing the baby had been making Rachel easy on was the eyes. She was beautiful, a healthy glow on her face as well as her, as Puck had so delicately put it, 'orbiting moons'. Rachel had gone from a Double A to a 34D; to say she had attracted the attention of some guys was an understatement. Even Kurt looked like he was about to blow his top. "You know what Quinn? You guys can go win regionals all by yourself because I am done with this!" Then she tried to execute one of her classic diva storm outs, but she didn't even get off the chair. After a few more attempts getting increasingly flustered with each failure until. "NOAH, HELP ME UP DAMMIT!" For fear of his life Puck helped Rachel out of the chair and then Rachel was on her way out the door.
"Quinn, aren't you going to go after her?" Puck demanded. He obviously didn't know Rachel very well at all
"No Puck because the thing with mood swings is that they swing back and Rachel will calm herself and be at Regionals before the day is out" But Rachel was walking out angrily muttering something about Quinn until she felt a pain in her body. She ran, or rather hobbled to the nurse's office. Quinn sat in the green room next to Puck, who was talking to the baby in her belly while she rubbed it affectionately, then she heard the teams to be called, but Rachel was nowhere to be found she got up, panicked "Mr Schue!" As Rachel woke up in the nurse's office the school nurse suggested she talk to the guidance counsellor about Braxton-Hicks contractions. She made her way into the office of Ms. Pillsbury.
"Rachel! You should be at regionals!" The redhead looked serious even though she sounded so ridiculously childlike.
"How long was I asleep?" Emma took out her keys and phone closed her office, took Rachel's hand and began calling someone.
"Rachel, you were asleep for a while… yes Will! I have something for you" Emma proceeded to explain
"Guys I found our diva!" Will announced to the club, whose faces lit up.
"Thank you so much, Miss Pillsbury!" Rachel thanked as she hugged Emma tight, and Emma hugged her back. Well as best you could hug someone with a massive belly protruding from them. At the end of a very emotional performance of Journey songs, capping off with 'Don't Stop Believing', Rachel popped. As Quinn came running over to support her partner she popped. After three painful hours of labour, Quinn gave birth to a lovely 8lb 4 ounce baby girl; she had the pure blonde locks of her mother but the dark brown eyes of her father. She had her mother with her to help her through the pain having recently reconciled with her as she was being taken off to the hospital. As soon as Quinn had her baby she demanded to go see Rachel. So it was arranged and Quinn was able to get her bed pushed into Rachel's room who had been demanding her girlfriend and yelling at Puck for three hours. Quinn got her bed placed directly at Rachel's side and as she took in the beauty of her daughter, she knew that she would love the child like her own but currently she had to push out her not so little one. And after two more hours of painstaking labour she gave birth to a 7lb 5ounce baby girl with a nearly full head of wavy brunette hair and the most piercing chocolate eyes. Quinn climbed over onto Rachel's bed. Rachel was staring in disbelief at the girl. "I got this big for you?" Rachel exclaimed. Quinn then looked at Rachel and said "You can have the name Beth, Rach. You've gone through a lot more than I have" Quinn spoke with love in her voice, love for her soul mate, love for her two daughters and even love for their father who had just joined them after recovering from not only the visual of Rachel pushing out a child as well as the verbal abuse from the incredible voice of Rachel Berry.
"No Quinn I insist you have the name, I have found this one's name; everyone say hello to Emma Lillian Berry-Fabray" she said in a state of euphoria with a calmness in her voice never found in the normally fully aware Rachel Berry.
"Hello Emma, meet your sister Elizabeth Celeste Berry-Fabray" Rachel then tenderly kissed her girlfriend as Puck and Judy looked on.
"Are you ready to have the next one, Miss Berry?" The doctor said interrupting the happy couple and their new family.
"What was that doctor?" Rachel asked still in her euphoric state. Quinn's eyes went wide and this brought Rachel back to reality. "What the hell are you talking about?"
The doctor was taken aback.
"Your other child Miss Berry, the second twin. Were you not aware that you were having twins?" He asked tentatively trying not to incur the wrath of a woman who had just suffered through 5 hours of birth.
"I was not aware that I was having twins I just thought I was having one mother of a baby!" Rachel was trying to convey anger but didn't want to yell in front of her daughters. So after another 3 minutes Rachel gave birth to yet another girl as Quinn held the other two. This one though identical to Emma had much more gentle eyes and was clearly the sensitive one she came out crying her eyes out and would not stop Rachel at a loss of what to do, started feeding. That stopped the crying. Though in her rush, Rachel had just about ripped the gown from her body exposing Rachel's other 34D breast. Everyone was shocked, Puck and Quinn were aroused. And as little Emma started crying she took the baby from Quinn and covered her other supple peak with the tiny lips of her first born twin. Quinn quickly followed suit and had Beth happily feeding on her lacking by comparison creamy coloured breast. Judy was the first to raise the question
"What will you name this little one, Rachel" She said, rubbing the fuzzy head of the unnamed unexpected but definitely not unloved child.
"Oh I can't be bothered, Noah you do it" she ordered, Puck, with tears forming in his eyes, looked at the baby
"Well, how about Lea" He proposed. A grin immediately came over Rachel's face
"I love that name so much! And Michele for my grandmother! Yes. Yes. Yes. Welcome to the world, Lea Michele Berry-Fabray" The Glee club, Mr Schuester, Ms Pillsbury and even Coach Sue Sylvester, were then treated to Quinn coming out holding Beth and a chorus of 'Aww!'s rang out and everyone gathered around Quinn
"Everyone, this is Elizabeth Celeste Berry-Fabray" This was followed by comments like "Elizabeth is an adorable name" and a lot of different people calling godmother or godfather. Following this Puck entered the waiting room
"Everyone, I would like you to meet Lea Michele Berry-Fabray" The same reaction was repeated and as Quinn and Puck sat down and everyone came around them admiring the beautiful Berry-Fabray children Rachel was wheeled in holding her first child. Brittany is the first to notice.
"Hey Rach! Whose baby is that?" Brittany asked, confused. With that everyone looked and there was a collective gasp.
"Ms Pillsbury, would you come over here please?" Rachel asked. Ms Pillsbury, who closed her jaw and nodded, moved over to Rachel and knelt down to her. "Ms Pillsbury, this is Emma Lillian Berry-Fabray and I asked her and she would like to spend some time with her namesake." Emma Pillsbury was never so happy in her life; she took the beautiful child in her arms and began to cry
"Th-Thank y-you so much Rachel, this is the greatest honour I could ever receive." As Rachel was wheeled over to where Puck and Quinn were, Santana piped up seriously who gets to be godmother?" Quinn sighed "Santana, you and Puck will be Beth's godparents, Brittany and Kurt will be Lea's and Ms Pillsbury and Mr. Schuester will be Emma's" Rachel then held onto her girlfriend and proclaimed "This is our family, we have a family!" Both new mothers were the home schooled for the rest of their senior year, so that they could be with their daughters as well as get an education. They were coping well with having to deal with 3 babies crying in the middle of the night, since they had Jacob and Eric as well as having Judy move into the Berry household. Only 1 month after their children were born they were called into the hospital for the birth of Santana's child. As they went in to the hospital room, they saw a very tired Santana holding a tiny dark skinned baby with Brittany around her. "Hey guys!" Brittany full of energy ran over and embraced Rachel, Quinn and Puck and placed a kiss to the forehead of each of the pseudo-triplets. They went around to Santana.
"It's hard, it's really hard I don't know how you did it twice Rach I really don't, but here she is: Sofia Isabella Pierce-Lopez" Santana spoke with love as she never took her eyes off the baby girl in front of her until she felt Brittany's arms around her, she looked up at her lover and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. "This is our baby, Brit ours. Oh, and before I forget Quinn and Rachel you are hereby the co-godmothers of this child and you Puck we would like you to be the godfather." Sofia's real father was nowhere to be found, Finn was expelled and His mother worried about her son moved him to Colorado to live with his Uncle.
