Chapter 13: Thanksgiving Disaster

Finn and Rachel woke up to the smell of the Berry's Thanksgiving Feast. He has been staying with her for a while and Finn was glad his family was coming over. He had so much to be Thankful for. She had so much to be Thankful for.

He wraps his arms around a sleepy Rachel. "Happy Thanksgiving, baby."

Rachel wakes up with a smile. "Happy Thanksgiving, handsome."

"IT smells lovely." Finn says.

"I know. My daddies go all out on this Holiday." Rachel smiles. "You know? I was thinking about the gender and names of the baby."

"You didn't want to wait?" Finn asked.

"NO! I hate waiting." Rachel laughs. "What do you want?"

"I don't care if the baby's a boy or girl. I will love this child no matter what."

Rachel rests her head on Finn's chest. "That's why I love you."

"I love you." Finn says kissing her. "If the baby's a girl, you can pick out the name."

"And if the baby's a boy, you can pick out the name." Rachel cuddles with Finn.

"I always wanted to name my son after my father. Christopher Hudson, it has a nice ring to it."

Rachel nods. "Christopher Finn Hudson."

"That sounds beautiful." Finn smiles. "What about you?"

"I researched baby names. I really like the name Alexis. It means a defender. I also like Faith for her middle name; Alexis Faith Hudson."

"That's a beautiful name as well. I can't wait till Alexis or Christopher arrives."

"Me too. I feel like I could be pregnant forever." Rachel laughs.

"Let's go help out with Thanksgiving Feast." Finn says. He helps Rachel out of bed and they get ready together in the bathroom.

Today, Rachel promises she wouldn't let a single tear stream down her face.

Rachel, Finn, and Ashley were singing songs as they helped out with the Thanksgiving Feast. Hiram and Leroy were loving the entertainment. The entertainment all stopped when Rachel felt cramps and pain in her back.

"Ow!" Rachel cried as she holds onto Finn.

"What's the matter?" Finn asked in a panic.

"My back really hurts." Rachel cries. "I-"

"Do you want to stop? It's okay, if you do. You can rest..."

"But I want to help." Rachel fought. "Ow!" She says holding onto her stomach.

"I'll carry you upstairs. Come on." Finn says. He lifts Rachel and heads upstairs.

"Is mommy going to be okay?" Ashley asked.

"We're sure she will." They tell their granddaughters.

Finn carefully lays Rachel down on bed. "Now I don't want you to get up, okay?"

"But I'm supposed to be helping!"

"But you're in a lot of pain. Do you need to see a doctor?" He asked.

"I don't think I need too. It's just horrible cramps and pain." Rachel says. "Go back and help them." Rachel kisses Finn. Finn nods and looks worriedly at Rachel before leaving her behind.

Dinner has arrived. Rachel slowly got out of bed and to get herself dressed. Carole, Kurt, and Burt arrived with their meals and desserts.

It was one big happy family.

Leroy and Hiram both said their prayers as everyone held hands. Each one got to say what they were Thankful for.

"I'm thankful for my new friends, food, clothes, my granddaddies, my mommy, and that I met my daddy. I'm also thankful to have you Kurt." Ashley smiles.

Everyone felt touched by the little girl's words.

Finn stood up. "I'm thankful for having Rachel back in my life. I'm thankful that I have a daughter and that she's accepting me as her father. I'm thankful for Leroy and Hiram as they give me a blessing. Their precious daughter. I'm thankful to be happy again...and less miserable." He laughs. He looks at Rachel. "I'm thankful that Rachel and I could start a family again. I'm thankful for life. That life is with you guys. I'm thankful for a beautiful life."

Okay maybe Rachel couldn't keep that promise. She had to let a few tears stream down her face. She wipes them away with her hands and she's up next.

"I'm thankful for a lot of things." Rachel smiles. "I'm thankful for you daddies, my precious little daughter, and that Finn and I are back together. I've always wanted to become a Broadway star but my family is more important. I'm thankful to have you guys in my life. I'm thankful that this baby is happy and healthy." She tried to smile but holds her stomach again. "Ow.."

"Rachel?" Finn asked worriedly.

"I need to use the restroom." Rachel excuses herself.

"Is she okay, Finn?" Carole asked.

"She's been having horrible cramps and pains. She doesn't want to see a doctor."

"We can wait to eat until she comes back." Leroy says.

She was frightened to death. She had peed but once got up blood was falling down all over. She wasn't sure what was happening.

She's never had this sort of problem before. She was also in a lot of pain so she screamed on the top of her lungs for help.

For someone to come and help her. Everyone came upstairs in a matter of minutes. She wasn't expecting everyone to come. She was just expecting Finn.

Leroy and Hiram came over to their baby girl. They were in shocked with what they've just seen. Finn ran into the bathroom. His face became pale. He carries Rachel out of there. "Daddy! Dad! Finn? Please stop it! It hurts so much!" She begs. She hasn't stopped bleeding.

"I'm going to call 911." Burt announces.

Kurt went to help Finn comfort Rachel. Carole closed Ashley's eyes.

"Please stop it!" She continues to beg.

"Ssh...baby, stay strong, okay? We're going to get you to the hospital."

Rachel's cries became loud sobs that she couldn't control. No one has ever seen her like this. Not even Finn.

The ambulance came in about thirty minutes or so. They drove Rachel to Lima General Hospital..with Finn riding with her inside the ambulance.

Rachel was hysterical. Her body was shaking the whole time. She didn't want Finn to leave her as they reached the hospital. Everyone waits in the waiting room; what seems to be for hours.

They didn't care if they left their meal at home. Rachel is more important. "I've never seen her like that." Finn cries on his mother's shoulder. "I've never seen anything like that."

But Carole did. She just didn't want to scare her son. Ashley came over to her father. "Daddy? What happened?"

"I don't know, baby girl. I don't know." Finn cries.

Just then they all stood up once a doctor called Rachel's name. "Are you all for Rachel Berry?" A doctor asked.

They all nodded. Finn walks over to the doctor. "How is she? Is she alright? What happened? Is it our baby?" Finn asked.

The doctor took a moment before telling the family the bad news. "I'm sorry..But Rachel had a miscarriage. It means that she has lost the baby."

He then left the family to let them grieve on their own.

Finn Hudson fell on his knees and sobs his eyes out. He refused to let anyone comfort him. This wasn't supposed to happen.

They weren't supposed to lose their child.
