Chapter 14
Rachel's POV
Mrs. Blaine Anderson. Wow. How do I get used to that one? I knew that it was going to be an adjustment period signing all of my papers Rachel Berry-Anderson, but I loved every second of it. As I felt my precious baby moving around in my body, I looked over at my sleeping husband. He was so tired, he was working so hard to put a roof over my head. I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. I had to think of ways to get some money for us. I knew that we were making good money, but no stage directors would take me in a major show because I am pregnant. I walked into my office and flipped my desk light on. There were several pictures of Blaine and I together, and I could sit here for hours and recount the stories behind all the pictures, but I didn't have the time. I had to call my new agent and see if she had any new gigs for me. I held my breath as she answered.
"Delilah Simpson?"
"Lila, it's Rachel Berry."
"Rachel! I was getting ready to call you! Something came across my desk I think you should take a look at, script wise!"
My interest piqued a little bit. I had wondered what it was going to be, and once Delilah told me, I knew that I was going to love it. There wasn't a doubt in my mind that this role wasn't meant for me.
"Fax it to me, I'll talk it over with Blaine and see what happens."
I said, yawning and hanging up. I waited for the pages to come through. I caught the name of one of the characters and I hyper ventilated. I called Delilah back after I could breathe again, and sighed.
"This….is….the-"
"The script for Funny Girl, that's right."
"I'm pregnant."
"Right, and? They don't care. They just want you in the role. The director is the same one that did Sunset. He wants you in the show. Pregnant or not."
This was the role of a lifetime. This was something that I wanted. I had to talk it over with Blaine first, before I made any decisions. But I squealed out loud a little bit. This was going to be one of those things that I had to think long and hard about.
Every night, every day
You're the one I always dream of
Every line of your face is sketched so plain inside my heart
You've grown so deep inside of me
You're everything I feel and see
And you're the one, you're the one I love
I walked over to Blaine's side of the bed. I shook him a little bit, and watched as he sat up and looked at me. It struck me just how beautiful he looked while he was sleeping. He immediately realized that it was me and made his way out of bed. He held me and I realized he thought there was something wrong.
"What? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?"
"No, everything's fine. I woke you up because I need to talk to you about something, and it can't wait."
"Fine, fine. Get into bed though, let me hold you. You gave me a scare there, Rachel Elisabeth."
"Yes sir, Blaine Teddy."
I said, climbing into bed with him. I was the only one who was allowed to call him Blaine Theodore in everyday conversation, but I normally called him Blaine Teddy. I wiggled in next to him and felt at peace in his arms.
"So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, I called Delilah a little while ago. She faxed over a role for me."
"Okay…and why should I be consulted about it?"
"Well, for two reasons. One, you're my husband now, and I consult you about everything, obviously!"
"Okay…and the same goes for you, Kid. You're my wife, and I consult you now on everything too. But what is so big? You should do the role, whatever it is."
"Fanny Brice."
And right away, Blaine went silent. He knew this was the end all, be all role for me. He knew that I was going to take this role, anyway. He even said it himself. He started to play with one of the curls that was in my hair, and I knew. I knew he was okay with it. He kissed my neck softly and spoke.
"So, who's brave enough to take on a Funny Girl reboot?"
"Same guy who was brave enough to do 'Sunset'. And he wants me, even though I'm pregnant."
"Then if he's willing to accept it, I am too. Can we please go back to bed now? I have a meeting early tomorrow, and you have a doctor's appointment."
"Ah yes, the doctor's appointment. The big day for you, Mr. Anderson. Now you get to see if we're having a Theodore Robert, or a…a…uh, Blainey…you never came up with a girl's name."
"That's because I'm confident we're having a boy. I love you, baby doll. Get some sleep."
And he rolled over and immediately went back to sleep. I knew he was right. Tomorrow was a big day. I was going to go to the doctor, get a check up, find out the sex of the baby, and read the script for 'Funny Girl'. But first, I was going to plan a day with Blaine. We'd need that before the baby came.
All my life, all my love
I can feel when you're beside me
All that's right, all that's wrong
Suddenly becomes so clear
My heart has overtaken me
With feelings you awake in me
And you're the one
You're the one I love
Blaine's POV
The next morning, I got up because I had an early meeting. Rachel was still laying in bed sleeping, and I knelt down next to her. I kissed her forehead, her eyelids, her nose, her lips softly and her chin and whispered in her ear. I knew I was the luckiest man in the world, and I couldn't help it. I did it every morning, and I don't know if she heard me. I kinda privately hoped she did. I walked out and got into my car and drove to my office. I sighed because I knew that this was going to be miserable. Things weren't going great with this show, but I also knew that I had to get into it and break things up, before the firings went too far. I sat down at my desk to prepare myself. I opened my briefcase and there was a note. I grabbed it and opened it. I read it and smiled, knowing that the person who wrote the letter was probably still home in bed. I couldn't believe that she'd written me a little note.
"My beloved husband Blaine,
Don't let anyone get the best of you. You're better than all of them combined, both in talent and charisma. I'll see you at two p.m
Your beautiful, beloved wife. Rachel Elisabeth."
And Rachel was right. Once again, she was so totally right. I wasn't going to let them get the best of me. I was going to go into this meeting, get straight to the point, and then go to the doctor's office with my girl to hear our baby's heartbeat and determine his sex. I watched as the door to my office swung open, and Kayleigh, the temp who worked for Andrew stood there. She always thought I was up for some fun. Today she was dressed in a bright blue minidress and matching heels. I shook my head, and sighed.
"Andrew wants to know if you're ready, Blaine. And I want to know if you'll have lunch with me."
"Yes I'm ready, and I'm married, Kay."
She sighed and closed the door. I think I was the only person in the office who was faithful to their significant other. I gathered my papers up and walked down to Andrew's office. I had to pull myself together, because I knew that this meeting could be potentially catastrophic. I entered the boardroom and sat down. Everyone was here, and I knew that he'd be pissed about one person missing. But we started the meeting and it went swimmingly. I looked at my watch and sighed. Rachel's doctor's appointment was at two, and we were pushing one-fifteen now. And it was going to be hell to get across town.
"And now, Blaine Anderson with the finances. Mr. Anderson?"
I nodded, stood up and opened my briefcase. Took out all of my papers and started speaking about the finances. Where we could cut corners, and where we couldn't. I kept staring at my watch, and that's when the boss caught me.
"Mr. Anderson? You keep watching the clock. Is something going on?"
"Yes sir. My wife is at the doctors, or will be soon. She's going to find out the sex of our baby today. I promised her I'd be there."
"I wasn't aware that you and Miss Berry had made it official, son. Congratulations! Please, feel free to give her my best. Go. We won't be needing you in this meeting anymore."
"Thank you, sir."
I said, heading out. I was grateful for the opportunity to leave. I got in my car and drove across town, hoping Rachel didn't think that I stood her up. I parked in the medical complex parking lot, and walked in. Rachel was standing in the waiting room looking nervous.
"Looking for me, beautiful?"
And suddenly, it felt like the world was right. I was no longer worried, and Rachel was no longer scared. I led her to a chair, and we sat down to wait.
"How do you feel, Blaine?"
"Scared. How do you feel, Rachel?"
"Same. More excited though."
And right there, I knew that things were going to be okay. The nurse came out to get Rachel, and I knew it was go time. We walked into the office and Rachel climbed up on the table and I held her hand.
"So, who's this handsome fellow?"
The nurse asked Rachel. Rachel squeezed my hand warmly and I squeezed hers back. She beamed up at the nurse, and I extended my hand. She smiled and took it, and I shook her hand.
"I'm Blaine. I'm Rachel's husband."
"I'm Nattie. Nice to meet you, Blaine. So, are you guys ready to meet the baby?"
"We are."
Rachel said. And then they got ready. They had her change into the gown, they put that goo on her belly and then flipped the sonogram machine on. They put this little computer thing on her stomach then moved it all around. It was then I heard it. This tiny little heartbeat. It moved me in so many ways. It was then I started to cry.
Only you could move me enough to believe
In love one more time
All I need to know for tomorrow
Is that you're mine
Mine for a lifetime
If our friends all around
Find it hard to understand us
You and I understand
The other one so very well
And that's what I've been looking for
So I keep coming back for more
'Cause you're the one
You're the one I love
You're the one
Yes you're the one I love
"Okay, so there's his arms. And there's his legs."
I looked with Rachel at the screen and smiled hugely. We hadn't gotten to the most important part yet, but I was sure it was a boy. But then I noticed something else. There were two sets of hands and two sets of feet.
"Twins?"
I said. Rachel looked closer at the screen and she nodded too. So did the ultrasound technician. She was crying in happiness too, and I held her close. She looked at the tech and smiled.
"Now that we know how many. Can we know what?"
"Sure. See that?"
She said, pointing to the screen. And there they were, clear as day. I smiled happily and felt like doing a little bit of a jig.
"Congratulations, you're having two little boys."
She said. And right then, I knew that life was going to change for the better. I looked at Rachel and she put her head on my shoulder. She was so happy. I kissed her forehead softly and whispered in her ear. Our lives were constantly changing for the good. I was nervous if there were any bad coming
