Chapter 19: They Know

The next day, Lauren went out with Sam and Mercedes. She loves whenever she's with them knowing that they spoil her rotten. Finn, Quinn, Puck, and Rachel met in the kitchen to have some coffee.

Rachel refused to have a cup. She didn't want to throw up again. "There's something we have to tell you." Quinn begins. She holds Rachel's hand for support.

"Is someone dying?" Puck asked looking around.

"Puck!" Quinn glares at him.

"What?" Puck shrugs his shoulders.

Rachel took a deep breath. She had to do this. There was no running away. "I'm late." Rachel announced, looking directly at Finn. He was confused. She wasn't late. She made it on time after Quinn said they had to meet at 11:30 a.m. "You're not late. You're on time."

"No, Finn.." Rachel says, realizing how hard this would be to explain to him. "I'm late. I'm pregnant." Puck's jaw dropped as he stared at his friends.

"What?" Finn asked concerned.

"That perfect Friday night we had. Yeah..That's when it started."

"Are you sure?"

Puck rolls his eyes. "Did you guys forget the condom?" He isn't sure why he's the one to always make Rachel cry.

"I guess I'll shut my mouth." Puck sighs. "Sorry, Berry.."

"Rachel, Rachel...ssh honey." Quinn tells her. "Go ahead and yell at me. It's okay if you don't want to be with me. ."

Finn's jaw dropped. "What the hell are you saying?!"

"I'm ruining your life. You can only handle one child."

"You're not ruining my life. Do you hear me?" He asked walking over to Rachel. He hugs her with his protective arms. "I love you. You're amazing in e very way. I'll be there for you through thick and thin."

"I love you so much." Rachel says. They start kissing each other which grosses out Puck. "Now you wonder how it all happened." He joked.

"You know, next time I'm not bringing you with me. You're hopeless." Quinn said rolling her eyes and punching Puck's nose. They laugh at the Puckerman's sarcasm.

Quinn helped Rachel make a first doctor's appointment. She and Finn went together. She was so nervous. The doctors called them in.

The doctor told her that she was healthy and so was the baby. They got back in the car. "Are you okay?"

"I feel a little better. There's so many emotions.."

"And cravings!" Finn reminds her. "When you were pregnant with Lauren, you had these weird cravings!"

"Oh no! Lauren!"

"What about her?"

"We need to let her know she'll have a baby sister or brother soon."

"Shoot." Finn ran his hand through his hair. Growing up with three dads and an only child she loves the attention all to herself. She never thought of being a big sister. "We'll tell her tonight after we tell her grandparents."

"I think that's a better idea." Rachel rolls her eyes. Telling the Hummel's and her dad would be an unpleasant image.

"You can't possibly be pregnant to him again!" Hiram cries sitting in front of Rachel and Finn next to Leroy.

"I am, daddy." Rachel responds holding Finn's hand .

"A couple weeks ago you were crying because of Finn! Now you're pregnant with him?" Leroy asked.

"Dad please..I love Finn." Rachel tries to explain herself to him. "All I want is support. Don't you think it's time for you guys to meet Lauren?"

"We know who Lauren is." Hiram says.

"You knew her when she was an infant. You don't know her now."

"Alright, alright. Fine." Leroy sighed. "I got my eye on you, Hudson."

"We..got our eye on you." Hiram corrects Leroy. Rachel smiles and hugs her dads. Finn puts his arms out to shake the Berry's. They hesitated but eventually did.

The Berry's headed them out the door and Finn and Rachel got in the car. "Aren't your dads scary?" Finn said panicking, driving quickly.

"I'm sorry." Rachel apologizes, pouting. She kisses him. "At least they'll stop hating you that much."

"I can deal with that." Finn smirks making Rachel laugh. "Next off, Hudson-Hummel." He drove to his house growing up which wasn't too far.

Carole and Burt just came back from a quick trip to Boston. They were a bit tired and cranky but Finn had to do this now. "Pregnant?" Burt asked. Finn immediately could tell the look on Rachel's face that she was scared and nervous.

"My son is going to be father again?" Carole asked.

"I am mom." Finn says. He promised Rachel he'd do all the talking. "This time is going to be different. We're going to be with each other all the time. We're not leaving anyone."

"Does Kurt know? He deserves too." Burt asked concerned about his two sons.

"We'll tell him. We promise." Finn says. "Will you be there for us?"

"We will." Carole says hugging her son. She hugs Rachel as well. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I'm sorry we've been jerks. You gave my son his pride and joy and I'm thankful."

Rachel smiles. Burt clears his throat. "You also separated our sons in a way."

"Burt Hummel! She's sorry." Carole tells Burt. "Please keep in touch and be around more. I love you, son." They hug again. Carole walks her son and Rachel out the door. They thank them and wave goodbye.

"He'll come around." Finn says promising.

"I hope so.." Rachel said getting the chills. The day isn't close to being over yet.

Lauren came home exhausted. She went shopping with Sam and Mercedes. She came home with three shopping bags. Sam heard the news about Rachel from Quinn and told Mercedes as well. They were happy for them both. Lauren was getting ready for bed until Finn and Rachel knocked on her door. Lauren never left Finn's mind. Since he heard about Rachel being pregnant, he wondered how she would react to the news.

Would she love being a big sister? Would she love the idea about having a little sister or brother? Or would she hate it?

She was already tucked in bed so this was the perfect time. "You know how Puck has a little sister named Hannah right?" Finn asked stroking Lauren's arm.

"Yes I do." Lauren responds. "We never see her."

"That's right. She lives in Arizona." Finn says. He clears his throat, feeling nervous. "How would you feel about being a big sister just like Puck Daddy is a big brother?" He asked. Rachel sits on the chair next to them.

Lauren hated sharing her something so personal to her. She didn't like the idea of being a big sister at all. In fact, she hated it. "I have to share you?" Lauren asked.

"Yes..'"

"And my other daddies?"

"Yes.."

"Well, I hate the idea!" Lauren answers truthfully. "No one is taking you guys from me." She says yawning. "I'm tired now. Can I go back to bed?"

"Sure you can, princess." Finn says giving her a hug and kiss. Rachel does the same as well. "We love you." They leave the room with a night light on and the door half closed.

Telling the family wasn't a very easy thing to do. It was a long day for Finn and Rachel. It was hard for them to be accepted into each other's families again. Rachel warned Finn that there's a long roller-coaster ride for Lauren dealing with the fact she'll no longer be an only child.
