I Had My Reasons Ch 3.

Sorry this took a little longer than normal...working on two stories at once is not a great thing.

Finn can be a little dim, but he knows a good thing when he sees it. He may lack skills in communicating, but he makes up for it in other ways;)

Finn and Rachel's first date went smoothly...let's see how the relationship progresses.

Hopefully, I caught all the errors in here.

I don't own Glee or its characters...they are Ryan's and Co.

Chapter 3

It's almost 11 p.m. and Rachel is ready for her shift at the hotel to be over. It's been two weeks and Rachel and Finn have gone out on three official dates so far and she is liking him more and more every day. They went out to a fancy restaurant and the movies for their second date, and on their third date he surprised her with tickets for a Broadway show. He was a complete gentleman each time kissing her at her door and then leaving. This was the only part of the date that she wished played out differently. He literally is treating her like a china doll! Thinking of their first night together each night makes her long for more. He won't touch her other than a few passionate kisses. She can feel he wants her through his pants when they kiss passionately at the door, but he won't follow through. Not that anything could have happened last week anyway since her time of the month was happening. They have plans to go out again tomorrow evening so maybe it will play like that three date rule and he'll attack her. She wants him to attack her, damn it! Her phone buzzes and brings her out of her musings.

-Hey there, gorgeous!

-Hi!

-Are you getting off work soon?

-Yes...in about 10 minutes. Are you still up or are you in bed?

-I'm actually around the corner at the parking garage coming to visit you.

-You know we are not allowed personal visitations at work. What if the boss finds out?

-I can handle the boss. I thought we could go for a swim. The pool area is already closed so we can swim by ourselves. Do you have a bathing suit with you?

-Yes, I keep one here. Ok, come on, I'll bring the key to the pool with me. Meet you by the door to the pool in 15 minutes.

-Ok...see you soon!

Fifteen minutes later and Rachel sees Finn waiting by the pool entrance for her. As she unlocks the door, they each check each other out in their bathing suits when the other is not looking. As they enter they are assaulted by the steamy feel of the pool area. It doesn't go unnoticed by him that she locks them inside. The walls and ceiling of the indoor pool area are made of glass and steel, allowing for the sun to filter through in the summer, but provides protection from the cold in the winter. The sweaty glass walls are full of drippy lines. On the immediate right is a large hot tub that has steam slowly rising lending to the condensation of the walls and ceiling. Still past the hot tub is the sauna. The feel of the pool area is so tropical, that there are actually small palm trees stretching their fingers toward the ceiling. There is an abundance of tropical vegetation that makes this pool area a tiny replica of paradise.

Standing there looking around Finn tells her, "I always forget how beautiful this place is. I hardly ever come here."

"It's one of my favorite places to come and unwind," Rachel goes to a chair and takes off her towel that is wrapped around her lower body and drops it there. Finn's eyes are about to pop! His memory from that night is muddled, and he knew that she would have a nice body by the clothes she was wearing, but seeing it now he is amazed by how beautiful her body is.

"So, let me give you the tour: this is the hot tub, temperature at 104 degrees." She continues on feigning being a host, "And over here, is the steam sauna, my personal favorite because it helps sweat out my pores for great skin," and turns to the large pool, "and finally the pool which at 85 degrees feels cold IF you go in in after the sauna or the hot tub. So my recommendation is to start with the pool." She finishes her act as the hostess and walks up to him, her heart pumping faster, puts her hand flat on his abdomen. Finn's eyes darken and he looks down at her hand while she moves it down to the waistband of his board shorts, slips her fingers inside just enough to grip the fabric and pulls him toward her as she walks backward to the edge. Raising his eyes to her, he sees her bite her lower lip and walk backward down the steps to the pool pulling him with her. The water, cold against both their skins, makes them enter slowly. Rachel finally lets go of this bathing suit and says, "I'm diving under!" She jumps up and goes under, swimming under the water to get the other side of the pool, when she feels a hand encircle her ankle, stopping her. Finn pulls her toward him from the ankle and she flails as he drags her closer to him. He grabs her by the waist and turns around in place swinging her with him saying in her ear, "You can't get away from me now!" She screams a fake 'help' and leans back putting her foot on his chest to break free of his hold.

They continue playing in the water, taking turns diving under each others legs, doing hand stands, Finn doing a cannonball with Rachel teasing him that he emptied half the pool. He swims to her and grabs her to dunk her and she screams, "No!" and wraps her arms around his neck so if he tried to take her down, he'd have to go down too. He gives up then and puts his arms around her back, her arms still encircled around his neck, her head next to his. He lowers his hands past her butt, to her thighs, hooks his hands around them and lifts them to place her legs around his waist. She rests her head on his shoulder her breathing fast from their frolic in the water. She lifts her head off his shoulder and bends back so she is floating in the water, but her legs are still around his waist. Her arms outstretched out to her sides he places his hands on her hips and begins twirling her around in a circle while standing in the same spot. "This fells good, so relaxing." She says, her eyes closed. He stops and moves his hands to the straps of her bathing suit and peels them down her arms exposing her breasts. She takes her ams out and stretches them out into the water. He puts his hands on her hips again and slowly moves her from side to side the water swirling over the naked breasts, feeling like cool fingers caressing her.

"You're like a water goddess. Your hair moving slowly under the water, like a mermaid's," his voice gravelly with lust. Her eyes open then and she holds his gaze and murmurs, "I want to be your water goddess." His hands move to her back and he lifts her upper body out of the water. She puts her arms back around his neck and rests her head on his shoulder. His hands move to her hips and start to squeeze and knead her skin. Her head comes up from his shoulder to place an open mouthed kiss on the junction between his neck tasting the combination of his skin and the pool water. She continues from his shoulder up his neck to place a light kiss on his earlobe. She lifts her head a little and places light kisses from his jaw to his chin glancing up to him to find his eyes closed and lips slightly parted, slowly moving his arms from her hips to her upper back. Her legs instinctively squeeze tighter around him and his eyes open. He looks at her while she bites her lower lip and he moves his hand to the back of her neck to bring her lips to his. The kiss at first is light and becomes increasingly more insistent. She wraps her arms again around his head, but this time buries her fingers in his hair. His tongue dives into her mouth with so much need, it liquifies her brain. She wants him so badly, she starts swiveling her hips against him. He groans against her mouth and whispers, "I don't want to rush you." She places little kisses on his cheek and mouth and says, "I don't want to wait...anymore." Her words make him instantly hard and he slowly carries her up the steps of the pool and into the hot tub. He sits down on the seat with her legs still encircling him. They continue kissing his hand skimming over her back and cupping her ass urgently. She tilts her hips and grinds against his erection and he throws his head back. He lifts his head and buries it in the crook of her neck, and showers her with kisses. He moves to take her lips again, tongues mating in rhythm as his hands lift her hips to slide between her legs. He rubs her through her bathing suit and she sighs in his ear and pushes down on his hand. His left hand grabs the edge of her bathing suit and moves it to the side, allowing full access with his right hand to her most intimate area. His fingers lightly move over her folds, and even in the hot water, he can feel the slickness of her wetness. He slips a finger into her and begins to slide it in and out, when she begins rocking her hips to match the rhythm of his fingers. The fingers of her left hand dig into his shoulder while her teeth bite lightly on his right shoulder. She slowly slides her right hand between them to his waistband of this bathing suit and slips her hand underneath the laces. She caresses the tip of his erection timidly, unsure of what to do. When they were together before she was so focused on what was happening to her, she didn't really focus on pleasing him. Now she wants to make him feel like he makes her feel. He opens his eyes to look at her and sees he timidness and he slowly pushes her hand further down into is shorts. She bites her lip against the wave of sensation coming from his ministrations to focus on her hand encircling his hardness and slowly stroking him. She can hear his light gasps and grunts she increases her movements and he stops touching her and removes her hand from inside his bathing suit. She kisses him hard then and with her brain in complete fog, she stands up, takes his hand and guides him out of the hot tub and into the sauna. The air there is dry because of no one has been there to put water on the rocks, so she picks up the ladle and pours some water from the bucket provided. The sizzling of the water lasts for a few seconds and steam immediately rises in the small room. She looks down at his hand then back at him with a smile. "That's what my skin feels like when you touch me," she whispers longingly. He bends down low and wraps his arms just below her butt and lifts her up against him, "Mine too!" he nods. He walks with her in his arms over to the two-tiered bench seats that line the room and stands her up on the lower one. "Are you sure?" he looks at her with so much longing controlled with restraint. She touches his face and as she comes closer she whispers, "Yes." He looks up at her and tilts his head back when she brings her head down to kiss him. It's such a turn on for her to be higher than him and for him to be the one having to look up to her for a kiss. She bends down and their lips meet and begin devouring each other immediately. They take deep breaths in the pauses to their kissing. Her head bends down and she places kisses on this neck, his head tilting to the side to give her more access, and light breathy kisses on his ear that make him growl. His hands move to her thighs and slowly drag themselves up to her hips. With one swift move, she is lifted on to sit on the top bench and Finn is on his knees on the lower bench. He leans forward and spreads her knees apart to get closer to her. He raises his hands to her breasts to cups them and then slowly trace a line with his index finger around her nipple. He pushes the fabric of her suit down further to her waist, the lustful look he gives her makes her quiver. He pushes her back against the wall of the sauna while he runs his hand from the base of her neck to the valley between her breasts. Resting his hand there he licks his lips and bends his head closer. Anticipation overwhelms her as she watches him in slow motion remove his hand from between her breasts and replaces it with his lips. The heat of the moment and the sauna's steam has their skin glowing with a light sheen of perspiration, the dim lighting illuminating their skin in light and shadows. Finn kisses the spot between her breasts and moves closer to her right nipple. Rachel's breath hitches and her minds fills with the sensations her brain has burned into memory from their last time together. How can just a lick and bite on her nipple result in such an intense feeling that it goes straight to her intimate parts? Squeezing her legs around the sides of his torso, she attempts to relieve some of the ache building in her core. His head moves over to the other breast and she puts one hand in his hair, feeling his stubble scrape across her nipple. She is amazed how good if feels. Shouldn't it be painful to have stubble rub against you in such a sensitive area? But no, it is magnificent!

The small cramped area echoes with the sounds of lips smacking as he alternates between kisses and licks on her breast. As he lifts his head to gaze at her, her eyes half closed, his hands lower to the bathing suit still on her hips and he stands her up in front of him to remove it. As she stands up her, her hands resting on his shoulders as he removes her bathing suit, she instinctively rubs her thighs together to relieve the ache there. "Sit down," he commands breathlessly. He places his palm on her abdomen to guide her back to the bench to sit and pulls her knees apart, he settles his chest in between her legs. His head is back at the valley between her breasts and begins traveling lower in a slow tantalizing pace.

He is at her belly now, her skin sprinkled with goosebumps, and continues toward the side of her hip. Rachel panics. Oh my God! Is he going to...? What if he doesn't like her, well, down there? To distract him, she reaches her hands and cups his face and bends forward to kiss his lips. He looks at her face and sees the apprehension there. "I'm not sure...no one..." she begins and he kisses her to silence her.

"Shhh! You'll like it." He gives her an adorable smile and she leans back with uncertainty. He puts his lips back on the side of her hip and takes a little bite of skin. He works his way down to her thigh and spreads her leg more when he places kisses and little bites on her inner thigh close but not yet at her core. He notices she has stopped breathing and is holding her breath. He looks at her and she has her eyes closed, her hand on her stomach, squeezing the skin on her belly. He picks up her hand and brings her palm to his lips to kiss it. Bending forward, he places a closed mouth kiss right on her slit while placing the hand that he just kissed on the top of his head. Her fingers immediately thread into his hair. He uses his hand to run his finger up across her folds, his finger followed by his lips.

"You are so, so wet; your body wants this." Noticing she hasn't taken a breath yet, he whispers, "Breathe." She hadn't even realized she was holding her breath, so she takes a deep breath and he leans forward again, places his palm on her lower abdomen, and swipes his tongue over her folds. She has a quick spasm and then he begins to swirl his tongue around her opening. She says a loud, "Uhh, God!" and she buries her hands in his hair further. Rachel can't believe how good this feels. His tongue slick and wet over her pussy is beyond anything she could imagine. He moves his tongue from her entrance to her clit, the finger in one of his hand, slowly entering her and moving slowly within her. She can't help but move her hips in the same rhythm and soon she is climbing with the pressure building within her. She is moaning loudly now and he lifts his head for a second to look at her.

"Oh...Don't stop!" she exclaims her voice heavy with lust. He smiles and dives back in and knows exactly what she needs. He sucks on her clit and twirls his tongue around it and flicks it with the tip of his tongue until her feels her move her hips uncontrollably, her hands holding his face in place a loud, "Finn!" escaping her lips.

Her movements slow down and he lifts his head to find her looking at him, fighting to get as much air in her lungs as possible. Finn grins while he places kisses starting at her belly and working his way up to her lips. After whispering, "I told you you'd like it," he takes her lips with his and kisses her deeply. She can't believe that the tongue that was just now down there is now in her mouth, and she is so incredibly turned on by it. She knows now that until the day she'll die, every time she feels his tongue in her mouth she'll be remembering his tongue doing that to her. The curiosity to see what it's like for her to do that to him, what he tastes like, makes her break the kiss and pat the seat next to her for him to sit. "It was amazing!" she tells him with a shy smile. He gets off his knees and sits next to her Rachel standing up in front of him. "It's my turn to take care of you now." she says shyly.

"It's ok, I don't want you to be overwhelmed by too many things going on all at once. We can wait for that until you feel really comfortable," his tone is earnest and sweet.

"I am not overwhelmed...I want to. Just tell me if I do something you don't like or bite you or something. I'm not exactly sure what to do." Her heart is hammering in anticipation as she sees him slowly nod his head. She leans over and kisses him reveling in the feel of his tongue against hers. Reaching for the waistband of his bathing trunks, she pulls the string and rips the velcro closure to open. She pushes it down his hips as he lifts himself to allow her to remove it. It falls around his ankles and he kicks it away, while they are still attached at the lips. She breaks the kiss and slowly moves her lips to his jaw, her hands grasping and reveling in the smoothness of his erection. He gasps as she takes his earlobe between her teeth and breathes lightly into his ear. She places little kisses from his ear, to his neck, down his chest, lingering over his nipple for a moment after he squirms when she licks it. She works her way lower, and he brings his hand to the back of her neck as she descends. She looks up at him and his head is thrown back resting on the wooden wall of the sauna. She peppers his skin with kisses on his abdomen and goes to his inner thigh and sucks the skin for a second before releasing it. He bucks his hips up and her hand lightly squeezes and strokes him. She is amazed that her body was able to accommodate him. There is wetness on the tip, and she uses her thumb to spread it around while she takes a little lick around his tip. When she would hear other girls talking about doing it, she always thought that is would be a little gross. But now she realizes that she likes how it can be so erotic, so she puts both her lips on his tip and kisses it. Finn is really squirming at this point and taking deep breaths to calm himself down, because all he wants to do is buck his hips up and shove it in her mouth. She opens her lips and places his tip in her mouth and lightly sucks on it. His, "Uhhh," exclamation tells her she is doing the right thing and she continues to suck on him while lowering her head more over him taking him deeper in her mouth. She slowly moves up and down each time getting lower and lower and coming all the way up to the tip and lowering over him again. Finn's hand moves from her neck to her head playing with her hair and lightly pushing her lower onto his erection. She takes the hint and lowers herself to see how far she can take him into her mouth. His breath is hitching and she realizes she has him all in her mouth when her lower lip touches his balls. While still has him full in her mouth, she rubs her tongue against him and with a "Oh... Fuck!" exclamation she can feel his cum shooting down her throat. She slowly sucks up and down on him a couple of times and releases him to sit back on her legs. She looks at him with uncertainty and says, "Was that ok?"

He desperately tries to bring his breathing under control and nods. He reaches for her and lifts her to him and sits her on his lap, his head resting on her shoulder. "Oh, yeah that was so good I couldn't hold it. Sorry for not giving you a warning." He lifts his head then and kisses her hard on the mouth. Her body turns to straddle him and she puts her hands arms around his neck. "Really?" she looks hopefully at him and he nods. They resume their kissing and the room echoes with their lips smacking, gasping and sighs. Finally, Finn picks her up and stands making his way to the door of the sauna. "I think we need to take this party upstairs." She giggles and agrees. He puts her on the ground and they carry their bathing suits with them to the lounge chairs and get their towels to wrap around their bodies. She picks up her gym bag with her clothes and they walk to the door.

On their way to his suite, they hold hands and look at each other as they ride the elevator. The silence between them is comfortable, and he kind of smirks at her while she bites her lower lip. The elevator dings signaling they have arrived at their floor and, together, they walk to the door. Finn opens the door and Rachel walks in ahead of him to the bedroom and drops her bag on the floor next to the bed. After hearing the click of the door's latch, she son feels his hand on her back grasping the edge of the towel and yanking it hard to release her body from its grip. She gasps in surprise but doesn't turn around. He comes up behind her, his towel gone, and presses the front of his body against the backside of hers. His arms snake to the front of her ribcage and his lips latch on to the side of her neck. He continues sucking and licking and kissing her neck until it feels raw to the touch from his stubble. She puts her hands over his on her ribcage and brings his hands up to cup her breasts. His hands light a blaze in her abdomen and her head drops back onto his chest right below his shoulder. He moves one of his hands on her abdomen and pushes her body against him and she can feel his huge erection on her upper butt. He bends down just a tad, and his length is now sandwiched between her butt cheeks. He bends back a little to sneak a peek, and he almost loses it. She turns in his arms and sits on the bed scooting up to the pillows. She puts both her arms out reaching toward him and he smiles and dives onto the bed next to her. She lets out a little squeal when he grabs her and pulls her under him, but is silenced by his kisses.

Awakening to a dark room, Rachel feels warm and protected in Finn's arms. She feels him behind her, can hear his low breathing of deep slumber and her body is still buzzing with the excitement and the gentle soreness of their activities. She closes her eyes and recalls the events of last night. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever think that being with someone would feel like this. Her mind recalls the burning sensations of his hands on her skin, his lips on every part of her body, like she is a most cherished idol. Feeling him move inside her as if he owned her body, it should scare her, but instead it thrills her. Touching him, allowing her body take over instead of her mind, took her to a place she could never have imagined. Is sex like this for everyone, with everyone? She doesn't think so. She has kissed and made out with other men enough to know that what she feels with Finn is really special, rare. Does Finn feel it too? If she could have a super power for just a moment, right now, she would wish to be able read his mind. Is it special for him too, or is he going out of his way to 'make it up to her' as he promised? She turns in his arms and faces him; he is completely knocked out asleep. Her mind is always on the go, so she rarely gets a full night of restful sleep. Watching him, she feels a deep sense of jealousy...is his mind free of worry or apprehension about the future? And she finds that Jen is right...his face is relaxed and he does look like an angel. How many girls have been in her position and felt like this with him? He suddenly tightens his arms around her and moves from his side to his back nestling her nicely on his side with her head on his chest. She closes her eyes and listens to the steady slow beating of his heart...the only part of him that seems awake, slowly falling into a slumber herself. She throws her leg over his abdomen to get as close to him as possible. In a dozing state, she begins rotating her hips against him and feels his erection slowly growing against the leg she has thrown over that region of his body. His breathing suddenly changes but he doesn't open his eyes. She moves her body over him, straddling him and rubbing her center against him while she is still half asleep. She bends forward to attach her lips to where his collarbones unite, licking it slowly, vaguely aware of the slight sweet and salty taste from the sweat of their previous rigorous activities. His hands travel down her back absentmindedly in a dream-like state to cup her buttocks and she moves her hand between them to guide him inside her. They make slow, sleepy love and when they are finished, and exhausted, they sleep soundly once again.

F+R/F+R/

They've been together now, officially for 4 weeks. Finn thinks he has found the perfect girl for him. His body seems to crave her and it looks like the feeling is mutual. He hasn't gotten up the nerve to use the 'L' word yet though. He wants to make sure this is not just an intense attraction that turns out to be just an infatuation. Realizing finally now the difference between being "in love" with someone and "loving" someone, he thinks he must be in love with her. You can love and care for people, but being in love with them is all consuming. It invades your every being, and it's pretty fucking scary. It's like Rachel has his heart in her hands and is juggling it...it can fall at any moment and burst like a falling water balloon. He needs to make sure she feels the same way.

They are at his apartment right now and he is watching her talk and sing while she makes dinner and he is sort of helping and leaning on the counter. They are waiting for the ding of the oven when she looks at him with that shy manner of looking at him through her lashes, "Finn, guess what? I made an appointment with my doctor for next week. I'm going to ask him to give me a prescription for the pill."

Finn moves closer to her and picks her up and sits her on the counter in front of him, "Are you sure?" She links her hands behind his neck and leans forward toward his ear.

"I am positive. I want to feel you and not just on the few days a month when I can't get pregnant. So, yes, I am sure."

Finn gets a huge grin on his face and presses her against his chest. "Cool! Now I can do all kinds of vile things to you and not have anything to worry about." He bends his head to her neck and starts sucking her skin making loud snacking sounds." She raises her shoulder and tilts her head to the side against the tickling sensations and says jokingly, "You've already done vile and dirty things to me!"

"Oh, but I have more I can do!" he takes a bite of the skin at the swell of her breast and moves this other hand under the shirt and under her bra to cup the other breast. Rachel squeals and wraps her legs around his waist.

"Mmm, I think your boobs are finally getting bigger!" he teases her. She slowly pulls his hair to bend his head back up to look at her, "Mr. Hudson, you will be punished for that remark!"

"Mmm, punish me, pleeeaaase!"

"Ding!" The buzzer for the over goes off and he picks her up to carry her into the bedroom. Rachel leans to the side to turn off the oven and tells him, "Dinner can wait for just a bit, don't you think?"

"Uh huh!" He latches his lips onto hers and the go into the bedroom.

F+R/F+R/

In Dr. Howard's office, Rachel is sitting on the examination table excited for the prospect of finally getting her BC prescription. The thought of Finn being able to just let go with her completely carefree is thrilling. Her thoughts are interrupted by Dr. Howard's entrance. "Hi, Rachel! How are you? I see you are here for a prescription for the pill, so that must mean you are no long a virgin, correct?"

"Yes, you are" Rachel states proudly. Dr. Howard smiles at her and says, "I know you are not a teenager, but I must warn you that the pill only protects you from pregnancy and not from STDs so use condoms for that, ok?"

"I am in a steady relationship, so, no sleeping around for me. Wouldn't anyway; not my style."

"Good," he nods and begins the basic checking of vitals, breast examination, listening to heart beat, etc. "When was your last period, Rachel?"

"About a month ago, I am waiting for it any moment now."

"Ok, You need to wait until your menses begin, then you start the pill on the date you get your period. But since you are sexually active now, I will give you a pregnancy test, before I prescribe the pill. Is that alright with you?"

Rachel looks at him and nods, "Sure, whatever you think is best."

Rachel dresses then proceeds to the patient bathroom and places her urine sample on the little metal window and closes the door. She quickly returns to the examination room and waits for Dr. Howard.

Dr. Howard returns a few minutes later with a little strange look on his face and sits down on the rolling stool in front of her. "Rachel, have your breast been sore recently? Feeling a little tired in the evenings?"

"Well now that you mention it, yes, a little I guess. Why?" Rachel looks at him puzzled.

"Rachel, I can't give you a prescription for the pill. Your pregnancy test is..."

"Is what?" Rachel laughs tentatively.

"Positive that you are pregnant. You are having a baby, Rachel."

Rachel's heart just drops to her stomach. She has the strongest urge to vomit in front of the doctor. Her breathing rate has increased and she is breathing in and out of her mouth very fast. Her skin has lost almost all color. She is holding her right hand over her tingling lips and is feeling dizzy.

Dr. Howard jumps up and hands her a bag to breath in, "Rachel, you are hyperventilating. Slow down your breathing or you'll pass out. I know this is a shock, but you have plenty of time to make future decisions."

Rachel breathes into the bag and a couple of minutes later her breathing is under control. She vaguely hears Dr. Howard giving her advice on obstetrician referrals shoving paperwork in her hands, and he sounds like the Charlie Brown telephone person...blah, blah blah, blah! She walks out of the doctor's office in a fog, a daze, toward the subway...this can't be happening! She and Finn had been careful, right? Condoms during most of the month and only during the week after her period did they not use anything. How is she going to be able to face Finn? They have barely started their relationship together things were going so well. He'll hate her...she is sure. He doesn't even have a real job yet, and she is graduating college in a week. She walks like a zombie onto the subway car and finds a seat. She is supposed to audition for a role on Broadway in two weeks! Through the fog she imagines what this baby would look like. A baby who is the perfect blend of Finn and her, and she gets a small smile on her face. Her phone buzzes at that moment and she looks to see that it's a text from Finn.

-Everything go ok at the doctor?

She tries to think of something neutral to say, but her hands can't move. Finn sends a second text.

-Rachel?

She begins tearing up now, crying silently but fully in front of the handful of people on the train and turns her body to avoid their eyes.

Ten minutes later her phone buzzes. It's Finn calling her. She takes a deep shaky breath and answers.

"Hello..." she tries to sound a normal as she can.

"Hey babe, you didn't answer my text." He sounds like he is walking and talking at the same time.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. Look, I'm wondering if I can come over to your place tonight. I need to talk to you about something." Her voice is breaking slightly so he stops moving and stands still on the sidewalk.

"Sure...are you gonna dump me? 'Cause if you are, I need to prepare myself." Finn knows she is about to dump him, he can hear it in her voice.

"No...I'm not going to dump you. But you may wish that's all it was," she says quietly, calmly. There is silence on the line for a long time, "Finn?"

"Are you pregnant?" he asks holding his breath, please say no he wills her.

Her simple answer tears his world apart, "Yes."

She hears him suck in his breath, and let is out slowly, "Ok, come over whenever you're ready. I'll be home all night." He hangs up the phone and walks slowly toward the car his brain about to burst. "Shit!" he says under his breath as opens the door. He gets in and sits there staring at his steering wheel.

Rachel stares at the phone in her hand. He didn't say bye.

A/N Poor Rachel if only she had gone in for her pill after she and Finn were together the first time. I know many of girls who got caught with the "rhythm method" so I made Rachel be one of them.
