Chapter 12: Come Clean
Finn felt relieved that he hasn't got any text messages from Quinn. Rachel hasn't shed a tear or anything. He's notice she's been happier and singing.
It's probably her mood swings or hormones but he did like this phase. It was a Saturday and Finn and Kurt were over at the Berry's house. Ashley loves playing dress up with Kurt. It made her laugh all the time that Kurt would actually wear a dress. Finn couldn't help but take more pictures of Kurt in a dress on his phone.
"This is great. IT's hilarious." Rachel laughs. Finn wraps his arms around him. "I know. Ashley's even putting lipstick on him." Finn laughs as well.
"Mommy! Daddy! He looks really beautiful, right?" Ashley asked giggling.
"Okay, the fun is over. I think I had enough." Kurt says.
"Oh, no! But I wanted my granddaddies to see you!" Ashley whined.
"No.. No one's seeing me like this in public." Kurt cries.
"Too late. I took pictures on my phone." Finn laughs. Kurt gives Finn a glare.
"How about we go to the mall? I really need like maternity clothes. I'm getting huge!" Rachel announces.
"Perfect! I will pick out the cutest maternity clothes out there." Kurt smiles at Rachel.
"We're going to the mall? Can I get Ice Cream and can we also pet the animals?" Ashley asked. "I always, always wanted a dog."
"Honey? I'm allergic to dogs." Rachel reminds her daughter.
"It's not fair!" Ashley whines. She crosses her arms together and pouts.
"Come on, my little princess. We're going to the mall to have fun." Finn says. Ashley smiles and the four of them leave the house.
Kurt went shopping with Rachel. They headed to every store possible. Finn was with Ashley and went to the pet store.
She was playing with a puppy retriever. "He's so cute, daddy! Look at his face. I'm going to name him Star." Ashley says cuddling with the puppy.
"Actually? I think that's a girl." Finn says observing the puppy.
"I really want to take him home! I wish Mommy wasn't allergic."
"We can come to the mall every now and than so you can play with the puppies."
"But it's not the same." Ashley sighs.
Finn thought about how close the holidays were coming. He always thought ti was cute to wrap a puppy in a pretty Christmas box and see a child's face light up. He sighs as he then remembers that Rachel is allergic to dogs. "Do you like cats?"
Ashley shook her head. "No. I hate cats. I think they are scary. I don't know mommy loves them so much."
Finn laughs. "I wish I could buy you a puppy, munchkin."
"I wish you can too." Ashley sighs. "Daddy? Do we have to go? Can't we stay here forever?"
"Until your mommy and Kurt are done." Finn says. "Don't you want Ice Cream?"
"I want a puppy." Ashley says sadly.
Rachel was on a roll as she shopped for maternity clothes. She was grateful for Kurt helping her out.
For once she wasn't emotional. She felt great. "Thank you, Kurt."
"No problem, diva. It's my job." Kurt smiles. "I can't wait to dress up your child when it arrives."
"I hate calling my baby an it. This baby's either a him or her."
"Have you found out the sex of the baby?"
"Na-uh. We will soon." Rachel responds. "Finn hasn't told me if he wanted a boy or a girl."
"I don't think it matters that much." Kurt tells her. "I think what matters the most is that you and him will love this child forever."
"We haven't even picked out a baby name. We don't have enough room in my house."
"Oh but Finn does." Kurt smiles.
"I know. I love my daddies...I don't want to leave them."
Kurt nods. His eyes grew wide open as he sees a familiar face after walking out of the school. It was a blonde girl with long wavy hair. She wore a lace floral dress.
It was her.
It was Quinn Fabray. "Is that?" Rachel asked.
"Quinn." Kurt whispers.
Rachel felt nervous. She hasn't seen anyone but Finn and Kurt this whole time. Kurt waves at Quinn as she sees them. "Kurt! Rachel!" Quinn smiles. She hugs them. "I miss you guys!"
"Hello, Quinn." Kurt smiles.
"Rachel! It's so good to see you." Quinn smiles. "I didn't know you were back in Lima. I've been here for a while now."
"It's a long story, Quinn. She's been back but uh-" Kurt was cut off.
"But what?" Quinn asked.
"Where's Puck?" Kurt asked concerned.
"Oh we broke things off. You know, it didn't really work well on us. I saw him making out with a girl in a bar back in California. He was a total jerk. I thought I really loved him, you know?" Quinn says.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Kurt apologizes.
Quinn looks at Rachel. The last time she saw her was when she boarded off to the train; when Finn set her free. She knew they were both single. "So, Rachel? How's life?"
"Good." Rachel responds. Did she not really that I was pregnant? "Have you heard from Finn?" She asked. "You know, I texted him one time and was really confused on why he didn't text me back. Guess, I'll never know." She sighs. "Well, it's good seeing you both. I hope to see you guys more often!" With that Quinn walks away.
Kurt looks at Rachel. She wasn't happy. "Texting Finn?" She asked furiously. She remembers him telling her that there would be no more secrets.
Rachel made Kurt promise not to mention anything about Quinn to Finn. She told Finn it was okay for him to go home and Kurt tried his best not to be so angry with his brother.
She eventually fell asleep but woke up early morning the next day before her family would wake up. She had a spare key to Finn's apartment as well as Finn had a spare key to the Berry's house. She drove angrily. She might of missed a red light but she didn't care. She was angry with Finn...she barges into his apartment, finding him sleeping in his room.
She grabs his cell phone not trying to wake him up. There's a recent text message from Quinn last night.
Quinn Fabray-Sweet dreams baby.
She throws the phone at Finn which made him wake up. "Rachel!" He says surprisingly.
"Tell me the truth!" She yells.
"Rachel? Relax. Stressing out is not good for our baby." Finn says.
"You don't have a right to call him or her our baby! You're texting Quinn! I know it!" Rachel yells loudly.
Finn looks at his phone. He's deleted every single text message from Quinn after he went home from the Berry's. He didn't delete that one message. "Rachel? Can I please explain?"
"NO! I saw Quinn yesterday. She said that she broke things off with Puck and that she texted one night. She's confused on why you didn't' t text back. Finn? I thought we weren't going to keep anymore secrets from each other." Rachel crosses her arms.
"Quinn was crazy texting me yesterday. I didn't respond...look, baby." Finn says showing Rachel his phone.
"I'm just so furious with you. Quinn's back and it's like my nightmare's coming true."
"I'll handle Quinn." Finn says. "I'm sorry if I didn't tell you but I thought it was for the best."
"I found out from Quinn and I got really upset...that I became this person."
"Is that child inside your stomach still mine?" Finn asked Rachel, smiling at her.
Rachel nods. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions."
"I love you. Nothing is going to change that." Finn tells her with all his honesty.
He meant every word he said. He wasn't going to hurt Rachel Berry, especially not now since she's carrying their second child.
