Thank you so much to those who reviewed my story! Here goes another chapter.

Chapter 5: Who Bought Us Together?

She couldn't sleep after that. She doesn't want to wake up her little girl or her father's so she dials Kurt's number. She was in tears hugging a stuff animal.

"Hello?" Kurt asked. He was barely wide awake.

"Ku-rtt?" Rachel cries. "Can you talk to me? I need you."

Kurt stood up. "What's wrong?" He asked

"He came here and he told me about how he didn't join the army. I told him how I felt but I couldn't tell him about my baby. I told him it was getting late, we should go back to bed, and he should go home. It took him just then to ask about Ashley. He asked me if this is about her. He says that she's precious and she looks like me. I just told him that I don't know what he's talking about then I said goodnight and closed the door on his face. Kurt? I can't do it!" She was now sobbing.

"Diva? Listen to me? Are you listening?" Kurt says.

Rachel sniffles. "Ye-yes."

"I'm going to come over, okay? Don't let your dads know but I'll be there." Kurt tells her. "I'm going to comfort you."

"But you can't stay over. I don't want explain this situation to my daddies." Rachel responds.

"I'll be there as long as you need me." Kurt hangs up his phone.

She looks at her clock and couldn't believe it was almost two a.m. She quietly tip-toes down the stairs and waits for Kurt. He came by in about ten minutes and hugs her.

"Kurt!" Rachel sobs onto his arms. "Let's go upstairs." He says rubbing her back.

They head upstairs and Rachel put the light on. She folds her arms. "He can't keep showing up unannounced. That's why I'm not ready to tell him."

"You know you can't keep pushing him away after he poured his soul out to you."

"I know but-"

"Rachel? It's your turn. You need to do this, honey." Kurt encourages Rachel.

Rachel shook his head. "I don't think I can." She let out a loud sob. Kurt pulls her close to him and hugs her tightly. "You can tell him when you're ready, darling."

"But he'll be so hurt. She'll be so confused. They'll hate me, thinking I'm a selfish person..."

"No, Rachel. Finn loves you, how many times do I have to tell you that?"

"I was thinking we could of had it all, you know? Like after he told me the truth about backing out. We could of raised a daughter together but it was my stupid mistake!"

"Don't blame yourself." Kurt rubs her back.

"I'm so tired, Kurt. I'm so very tired..."

"I guess I'll just leave you so you can sleep." Kurt says. "None of this is your fault, none if this is Finn's fault, but things happen." He kisses Rachel on her forehead. "Will you be okay now?"

Rachel shrugs her shoulders. "I'm tired."

"Okay. Call me in the morning or whenever your ready to talk." Kurt says. "Good night, Rachel Berry."

"Goodnight." Rachel says. Kurt leaves a hysteric Rachel behind.

Rachel had a rough night. She kept thinking about rather or not to tell Finn about Ashley. IT was one of her hardest decision she's ever made. That morning her father's has notice the bags under her eyes. They weren't questioning her but ate breakfast silently.

She kept yawning. "I'm tired." She announces. "I need to stay in bed all day." What they didn't know was that she had plans of her own,

"Darling? Are you okay?" Leroy asked.

"I had a rough night, that's all. You can take Ashley out to the beach or the amusement park of Lima. I just want to catch up on some sleep." Rachel suggests.

"How does that sound, sweet-pea? You get to spend a day with us." Hiram tells Ashley.

Ashley smiles. Rachel kisses her family and heads back upstairs. "I'm worried about her." Hiram says.

"So am I." Leroy agreed.

"Is my mommy okay?" Ashley asked.

"She'll be fine, sweet-pea." Leroy tells his granddaughters.

Rachel closes her door and grabs her phone to dial Kurt again. He's been such a wonderful friend to her.

"Hello?" Kurt spoke onto the phone. "Kurt? Did I wake you? I'm sorry..."

"You woke me earlier this morning." Kurt laughs. "It's okay. What's up?"

"Can you come over later with Finn maybe? Maybe it will be better for me if you're there when I tell him."

"You really want me too?" Kurt asked. "Fine, I'll bring Finn around. Is Ashley there?"

"She'll be spending the day with her granddads."

"Oh..." Kurt sounded upset. "Rachel? If you want to tell him, then Ashley should be there."

"But she can't know right away, okay? At least I'm telling him. I'm taking it one step at a time."

"Okay, Rachel. We'll come by for lunch." Kurt says.

They both hang up. Kurt had a smile on his face but Rachel let out a sigh.

She was really going to do this.

That afternoon Ashley left with her granddads. They were going to spoil her with a trip to the movies and buy her anything she wants at the mall. Rachel lets Kurt and Finn in but only greets Kurt.

Finn stood there dumbfounded. He wasn't sure he'd ever be welcomed back after what happened earlier. Rachel has told them to sit down.

"I have something very important that I have to say." Rachel says slowly. "It's about us, Finn. The reason why I keep shutting you out of my life."

Finn just nods his head.

"You questioned about the girl you saw at the park." Rachel takes a photo frame placed on the fireplace and shows it to Finn. "She's my daughter.. we had unprotected sex nine years ago. I raised her with the help of my daddies, nannies, and babysitters. I was also a college student. I thought about it a lot after you came by here. I thought about how my daddies and Kurt have been encouraging me to tell you."

"You knew?" Finn looks at Kurt but Kurt ignores him.

"It wasn't fair for you to go off to war and dealing with the fact that you're a young father. I didn't want to put any pressure on you. Now I know the truth and you were never fighting."

"How about you?" Finn asked.

"I balanced between everything. I love Ashley. She's my life. I came back here because I missed out on so many milestones while she grew up. I don't want to miss anymore."

"Ashley? That's a beautiful name."

Rachel smiles. "I named her after a good friend that helped me through my pregnancy. She was always there."

"Middle name?" Finn asked.

"Nicole Berry." Rachel smiles. "She has your height, Finn." She laughs.

"Can I meet her?" Finn asked.

"But in one condition." Rachel says. Finn looks at Rachel. "You can't tell her that you're her father. She's not ready to know. I don't want to break my little girl's heart."

"My heart isn't broken by this. After staring at Ashley that day I saw resemblance between me and you. I thought hey, wait a minute? Rachel was never pregnant. She couldn't be...now I'm here learning that we have a daughter together." Finn stood up. He wants to hug Rachel so bad. "Can I hug you?" He asked.

Rachel shrugs her shoulders. "That's usually my line." She laughs.

They share a long awaiting hug. "No more secrets, okay? We're not fighting anymore."

Rachel nods in tears. "I'm so sorry. I'm so, so, so sorry."

"Don't..." Finn says, still hugging Rachel. "I love you Rachel. I really am glad you're home."

"Where do we go from here?" Rachel asked.

"We start over." Finn smiles. "We start over, for good." Finn says pulling her closer.

How will Finn react when he finally meets his daughter or in matter of fact, how will Ashley react?

Could this really bring them back together for good or will Rachel find reasons to push Finn away?
