As I have no idea what technology will be like in the year 2027, I just used technology and knowledge as of the year 2011 so bear with me. It shouldn't affect the overall story anyhow. This may seem a little crazy but then again, we're talking about Glee which has some pretty outrageous things happen on it. It kinda fits perfectly.
April 27th, 2027
"Mommy! Daddy!" Liam roared as he toddled into Finn and Rachel's room. They were still asleep but Liam wasn't having that. Though it was only six AM he was ready for the day and ready to go to the zoo with Rachel.
He climbed up on the stool he carried in next to the bed and threw himself down on top of Finn who groaned as Liam's elbow stuck into his gut. Finn maneuvered his child so he was lying between them instead of on top of him. Then he cracked his eye open.
"Buddy, what are you doing up?" Finn asked groggily.
"Zoo!" he screamed loudly in Finn's ear.
"Shh! Not so loud dude. Mommy's still sleeping," Finn said, putting his finger to his lips to indicate his two year old needed to be quiet.
"I want zoo!" he whispered into Finn's ear.
Finn sat up and looked around his lightening room. The clock said 5:58 AM. The kid had decent timing at least since his alarm was due to go off in two minutes anyway.
"Liam, the zoo isn't even open yet. You gotta be patient." Finn turned the side table lamp on and ran his hand through his hair.
Liam did not look pleased as he scrunched his face. "No! Zoo!"
Finn looked at his son sternly. "Liam, you have to wait. The zoo doesn't open until ten. It's only six. You have four hours. You gotta wait."
"Now!" Liam screeched back at him. Finn really hated the terrible twos.
Just then through the baby monitor on Rachel's side, Zachary could be heard starting to cry. Rachel shot up in bed.
"Who's crying?" she asked looking around trying to focus her eyes. She found Liam sitting on the bed next to her and Finn stood up.
"I'll get him Rach," he announced as he exited the room leaving Liam behind demanding his mother take him to the zoo NOW!
Finn walked into the room Liam and Zach shared and looked into his baby's crib. He was wailing like a madman, probably hungry as he hadn't eaten since before Rachel put him to bed. He picked him up and checked his diaper then headed into the kitchen to get him a bottle. He drained that sucker like it was the first time he'd ever eaten then continued to cry. Finn broke out the cereal and tried to feed it to his fussy five month old but he didn't appear to want it.
After a few minutes of fighting with him, Finn was about ready to give up until Rachel walked into the kitchen, Liam behind her still going on about the zoo, and took his place trying to feed Zach. It was like a switch had been flipped when Rachel walked in. Zachary turned into good baby and didn't fuss for Rachel at all when she fed him the cereal and he even smiled at her.
"He's such a mama's boy," Finn grumbled as he watched Rachel coo at their son.
"Daddy, hungy!" Liam cried out as he whacked Finn in the shin with his t-rex he'd brought out to remind him he was there.
"Ow, Liam! Don't hit people with your dinosaur!" Liam just pouted at him then walked over to the fridge and pointed out what he wanted to eat. Finn pulled the fruit salad out and put some into a bowl. He walked Liam over to the table and helped him into a chair, placing the bowl down in front of him. While he was distracted by his fruit, Finn made a beeline for Rachel who was still asking Zach to open the hangar for the airplane.
He walked up behind her and bent down to place his lips where her neck and shoulder met.
"Finn, the kids," she said quietly as he sucked harder on her neck. When he pulled away he smirked at the red spot that had formed. So close to getting a full on hickey. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek.
"Daddy, your butt's in my way," Roxy griped from behind Finn. He stood up straight and turned around to find his daughter trying to get into the cupboard he had been blocking. She didn't look happy to be awake.
"Good morning to you too Little Miss Sunshine," Finn said as he sat down in the chair next to Rachel. "Why are you awake already?"
"Zach woke me up," she explained with a hint of malice in her voice. She glanced over at her baby brother who was happily sticking his hands in the bowl of cereal Rachel had ignored when Roxy walked in. She finished getting her own bowl of big kid cereal and sat down at the table next to Liam.
Just as she sat down to eat breakfast with her brothers Zach threw some of his cereal right in Rachel's face. It slipped down her nose into her lap and as Rachel swiped it out of her eyes, the smell hit her and suddenly she felt very sick.
"Oh God," she said as she stood up holding her hand over her mouth. Rachel rushed to the sink and promptly vomited into it, Finn behind her holding back her hair and rubbing her back. This was the third time that week so far that Rachel had thrown up for no apparent reason. He was getting kind of worried.
"Rach, you should really see a doctor. This isn't normal for you," Finn worried over her. There had been very few times he'd seen Rachel vomit and those times included her being so sick she could barely move or when she was pregnant. As she was clearly walking around and seemed fine minus the upchucking and it was impossible for her to be pregnant anymore, it was cause for concern.
Rachel cleaned out her mouth then turned to look at Finn. "I've noted your concern Finn and I made a doctor's appointment for today actually. It is highly unusual for me to get sick like this and I'm concerned myself. I wanted to take care of it before it got worse. So don't worry so much. Now go get ready for work." Rachel shoved Finn in the direction of the hall and smacked his butt playfully then walked herself back to the table.
"Mommy, are you okay?" Roxy asked when Rachel started to clean off Zachary.
"I'm fine baby, just a little tummy problem. Once you're done eating you need to get ready for school." Roxy finished her bowl of cereal then went upstairs to get dressed.
A few hours later after Finn and Roxy left for school, Rachel was getting ready for her day out with the boys. Liam had been promised a day at the zoo but in addition to that Rachel had her doctor's appointment and she was supposed to stop by Kurt's studio for lunch with him.
Liam walked into her room already in his coat. "Mommy les go zoo!"
"We just need to get Zach in his coat. Can you help Mommy get Zach ready?" she asked taking Liam's hand and leading him down the hall to Zach's room.
Zach stared up at Rachel smiling when her face came into his sight. Rachel still couldn't get over how adorable her baby boy was, not that Roxy and Liam weren't just as adorable, it was just that Rachel loved having a baby in the house. Zach was the last baby she would have; she had to savor every moment with him.
"How's my baby boy?" Rachel picked Zach up and grabbed his little coat, hat and shoes. "Ready for the zoo?" All Zach did was continue to smile at her, occasionally making happy noises as she tickled him while getting him ready.
While Rachel took care of Zach, Liam just bounced around singing about different animals he would be seeing that day. Rachel watched him dance and couldn't help but giggle as he shook his butt then clapped his hands. She had never seen him so excited for anything and wondered how he would actually react upon seeing the animals.
A few minutes later, Rachel, Liam and Zach were on their way to the Central Park Zoo. When they arrived Liam went bonkers. Rachel never wanted to be that parent who put her kid on a leash, literally, but she was beginning to see the benefit. She had to call Liam back and threaten to leave the zoo if he wouldn't behave every time he tried to walk away from her.
Liam marveled at the polar bears and loved the snow leopard. He was somewhat frightened by the birds but totally enraptured at the reptiles. When they got to the Children's Zoo, Liam was ecstatic. He fed the goats wandering around and when he stuck the grains in his back pocket, the goats began chasing him as he tried to pet them. Liam thought it was hilarious when the baby goat who had taken a liking to him started eating his pocket. Rachel had a hell of a time pulling the kid away from her kid and it required assistance from one of the workers to pry him off.
Liam begged to take the baby goat home and started crying when Rachel told him that they couldn't which in turn started Zachary off. Now she was dealing with two crying children and the smell from the area was making her nauseous again. Rachel looked at her watch and found that it was about an hour until she needed to go to lunch with Kurt. Deciding they had spent enough time at the zoo, Rachel corralled her sons and left to go to Kurt's studio.
When they arrived at Kurt's studio around 1:30 they ran into his assistant Penelope who gushed over the children. "Oh my goodness, Rachel! Kurt didn't say you were bringing the babies with you!"
"Yeah, we just came from the zoo. Liam had a lot of fun with the goats," Rachel commented as she watched Liam start pulling his coat off. "Liam, leave your coat on. We won't be here that long." He didn't listen however and threw it onto the elevator floor.
"That is the cutest shirt I've ever seen!" Penelope crowed as she took in Liam's t-shirt. It read 'lock up your daughters' and had some handcuffs on the front. Rachel rolled her eyes. Finn had bought that shirt for him when he found it while out with Puck one night. As Finn had dressed Liam that morning, he had insisted on putting that shirt on him as he was going out for the day.
"That's Finn. He thought it was funny."
"Well I bet with as cute as he is it's the truth. I could just eat him up," Penelope gushed again as she bent down to boop Liam's nose. He smiled shyly at her and glanced at the floor. Finally the elevator made it to Kurt's floor and Rachel pushed Zachary in the double stroller out as she scooped up Liam's jacket and beckoned him to follow. Penelope brought up the rear, heading in the same direction. Everyone could hear Kurt before they could see him.
"…sneakers! You are wearing sneakers! Get out of here! You are not allowed back in until I see some decent heels on those feet!" Kurt screeched as a woman exited the room crying hysterically.
Penelope gulped as she watched the woman walk by. Kurt was clearly not in a great mood. While he would have pointed out her fashion faux pas anyway, generally he would have been a little less crass about it; he didn't usually make anyone cry. The girl should have known better than to wear sneakers with her skirt and blouse but Penelope still felt bad. It was never good to end up on Kurt's bad side.
"I am surrounded by hideous outfits! Including that one," Kurt commented as Rachel walked in and found Kurt pacing back and forth. "Really…a novelty t-shirt? What about all the clothes I've picked out for your children? You put him in that?"
Rachel just sighed. "Hello to you too, Miranda Priestly," she mocked using the moniker Kurt had earned as the ruthless and overbearing boss he could tend to be. "And you can blame your brother. He's the one who dressed Liam this morning. You know he still wears his puffy vests…"
Kurt let out an audible gasp and looked completely scandalized. "I am coming over to your place later and tearing through his closet. This is unacceptable. Those things are so out of style he may as well be wearing a leisure suit! Doesn't he realize his choice of clothing reflects on me? Imagine if I was seen in public with him like that…" Kurt had started rambling about how Finn and Rachel and their family being connected to his family plays a role in how people see him, especially since he was Rachel's go-to man for any evening wear she needed for events and had personally designed every outfit worn by Finn and Rachel's wedding party.
Rachel and Finn told him time and time again that no one would really care but he didn't believe them. They weren't Ohio nobodies anymore, they were well known names in New York society.
Having enough of his rambling, Rachel cut him off. "Kurt, can we please just go to lunch now. I'm hungry. You can complain about Finn's wardrobe on the way."
"Fine. Let me get my coat. Penelope, if anyone calls, tell them I'm busy." Kurt brushed past everyone and exited the design room.
"I wonder what crawled up his butt," Rachel mumbled to Penelope as they followed after.
"Are we going? I'm very busy," Kurt screeched as he headed toward the elevator.
"Bye Penelope!" Rachel called after her, following Kurt with her children.
They had settled on a small bistro not too far that had great vegan options as well as fare for the avid meat-eater as Liam was. While Liam ate and Rachel fed Zach, Kurt looked like someone had put his favorite boots into a microwave or something.
"What is up with you today Kurt? Making a girl cry because she wore comfortable footwear, screeching at everyone, bitching about Finn's fascination with cargo pants…" Rachel eyed him cautiously. She didn't need him chewing her out for anything either.
"Sorry, I know I've been moody lately. I haven't been sleeping very well." Kurt took a sip of his tea.
"Why haven't you been sleeping well? Is Blaine snoring into your ear?"
"No. Our surrogate has been having morning sickness at all hours of the day and calls me every time. She's been waking me up every night all week." Kurt rubbed his temple. "I know I told her to call us anytime to keep us updated and I do want to be involved in every aspect of the pregnancy but does she need to call after every single bodily function all day long? I need my rest!"
Rachel just snorted and started laughing. "Kurt, you're having a baby. You better get used to being woken up at all hours of the night because it's going to happen a lot."
Kurt narrowed his eyes at her. "I know that. I just thought it would start after the baby was born. She's fifteen weeks along. I thought after the first trimester the morning sickness was supposed to go away."
As a waitress walked past carrying a steaming plate of something, a wave of nausea rolled through Rachel. She put her hand up to her mouth once more and forced herself to make it pass.
"Are you okay?" he asked Rachel, praying that she wouldn't vomit all over their table.
The wave passed and she took a sip of her water. "Yeah, I've just been feeling nauseated a lot recently. I have no idea why. I have a doctor's appointment at three and I'm hoping they can figure out what's wrong. I hate feeling this way."
"The last time you felt nauseated you were pregnant. You don't think you could be pregnant again do you?" Kurt replied. Everything was going back to babies with him lately.
Rachel laughed again. "That's impossible. Finn got a vasectomy after I got pregnant with Zachary, remember? Three kids is quite enough thank you. It has to be something else."
"Maybe it's food poisoning," Kurt mused.
Rachel shrugged as she noticed Liam was squirming in his chair. "Kurt, we'll be right back." She picked Liam up and pushed the stroller toward the bathroom.
As she changed Liam and Zach's diapers, she thought about what Kurt had said about her being pregnant. Now that she thought about it, it did seem like she had signs of pregnancy. But that was impossible. There was no way Finn could have gotten her pregnant, that was the whole point of the vasectomy and she certainly hadn't slept with anyone else.
But then again, when was the last time she'd had her period? Rachel tried to remember but the only time she could think of was her first one after having Zachary and some spotting she'd had two months ago. Had it really been that long? But it's still impossible! She really hoped her doctor could figure this all out.
Rachel went back out to her table and found Kurt packing up. "Rachel, I'm really sorry I have to cut things short but there's a problem at work that only I can deal with. I'm going to stop by your place later to raid Finn's closet and toss out anything that is older than your children. Don't tell him I'm coming." Kurt hugged Rachel goodbye then waltzed out the door. Well that had been an interesting lunch.
For the next hour while Rachel waited for her doctor's appointment she did a little shopping for the kids and found Finn some plaid shirts that she would hide from Kurt's raid later. She loved Finn in his plaid and couldn't understand Kurt's total aversion to it. It was just so Finn! Finally it was close to her appointment and she began the journey to her primary care physician. She idly wondered if it should be her OB/GYN she should be visiting instead.
There were four other people in the waiting room when Rachel arrived and Liam immediately found the coloring books in the midst of all the magazines. He held his hand out for Rachel to give him his crayons and went to work on making Barney the Dinosaur red instead of purple. While he was distracted with that and Zach was asleep, Rachel thought about her lunch with Kurt more. Ever since he put the idea of her being pregnant into her head again it was all she could think about.
Rachel waited for what seemed like an eternity before they called her in. She sat in the room singing Winnie the Pooh to Liam softly as he started getting fussy and broke all of his crayons in half. Rachel knew he was getting tired and wanted to go home and take a nap even though he kept saying he wasn't tired.
When the doctor came in she said hello to Liam and asked Rachel if he could have a lollipop. Once the word was uttered there was no way Liam would let Rachel leave the office without getting one. He had a very large sweet tooth much to her aggravation.
"So what brings you in today Mrs. Hudson?" Dr. Ackley asked Rachel as she took a seat in the swivel chair next to the computer.
"Well, over the past few weeks I've been feeling very nauseated for no apparent reason and I vomited a few times this week but felt fine after doing so. It's just unusual for me and I wanted to be sure it wasn't anything serious."
"Okay, any other symptoms? Lightheadedness, any pain accompanying the vomiting?" The doctor was taking notes on her iPad as she spoke.
"Um, now that you mention it, my breasts have been very tender lately…and I haven't had my period in about four months, but I did have some spotting about six to eight weeks ago."
Dr. Ackley looked up with rapt attention. "Mrs. Hudson, are you on birth control?"
Rachel shook her head no. "Not since before I got pregnant with my son Zachary. My husband got a vasectomy so I wouldn't need to worry about birth control anymore."
"When did he have the procedure done? If you don't mind my asking?"
"It was around the time I entered my second trimester. So there's absolutely no way I could be pregnant. My brother-in-law suggested that earlier." Rachel looked at the doctor who was furiously tapping away on her iPad.
"Mrs. Hudson, I'm going to have to say your symptoms sound very much like signs of pregnancy. The only way to know for certain would be a pregnancy test. Once we get the results back from that we can proceed accordingly." Dr. Ackley told Rachel where to find the bathroom and she assured her that a nurse could watch the boys while she was in there. Minutes later Rachel returned and the nurse went to find out if Rachel could be pregnant or not.
Rachel thought the test was an absolute waste of time as there was no way she could be pregnant but at least this way they could rule that out as a possibility to figure out what was really wrong. During the time Rachel waited for Dr. Ackley to return, Zach had awoken and wanted to be fed. She was in the middle of burping him when she returned.
"Mrs. Hudson, I ran the test twice and both times the result came back positive. You're pregnant," the woman stated bluntly. Rachel stopped mid-burp to stare at the woman before laughing at her and continuing to burp the last baby she would ever have.
"That's impos-"
"Impossible, I know. Either you haven't been completely honest about your sexual partners or your husband's vasectomy didn't take." Dr. Ackley threw her hands up as to say 'I-don't-know'.
"Are you trying to insinuate that I would cheat on my husband?" Rachel asked, appalled that she would suggest such a thing.
"Considering the likelihood of a vasectomy reversing itself and the fact that you are very pregnant, that would be the most likely way this happened. But there is always the slim chance of a reversal. It's a very low possibility but has been known to happen every so often."
There was no way this could be happening. Here her doctor was accusing her of cheating on Finn when she had done no such thing. There was absolutely no way she was pregnant. The test had to be wrong. And as for a reversal, like she said, the chances of it happening were slim to none.
"Do an ultrasound!" Rachel exclaimed trying to prove the woman wrong. It had to be something else wrong with her. "If you do an ultrasound that will definitively determine if I'm pregnant or not because I don't believe your test."
"Okay. If you're pregnant you'll need one anyway. I'm assuming you have an OB/GYN already?" Dr. Ackley asked pointing between Liam and Zach.
"Yes, he's delivered all three of my children."
"I'd suggest scheduling an appointment with him as soon as possible." Dr. Ackley wheeled her chair over to the cupboard and pulled out a box. She opened it and Rachel realized it was the ultrasound machine. She booted it up and told Rachel to make herself comfortable. A few minutes later she was gliding the handle over Rachel's abdomen and an image Rachel never expected showed up on the screen.
"Looks like the pregnancy test results were accurate," Dr. Ackley replied somewhat smugly. She moved the handle around a little bit more. "It looks like you're about 18 weeks along. I'm honestly surprised a woman who's already had children didn't realize she was pregnant and for about four months."
Rachel just stared wide-eyed, mouth agape at the image of the fetus in her uterus. How had this happened? Finn couldn't get her pregnant anymore and she hadn't cheated at all! Clearly she wasn't the Virgin Mary reincarnated as her virginity had disappeared long ago. Though it seemed impossible Dr. Ackley's suggestion of Finn's vasectomy reversing itself had to be the only way. Finn was going to flip.
She looked down at her stomach. Now that she really looked at herself, she noticed for the first time that she had a bump. How could she and Finn have missed that? It's not like neither of them never saw her naked. They only had sex all the time. In fact over the past few weeks they had been having it even more than usual. Now Rachel understood why her libido had been on overdrive.
"Would you like to know the sex?" Dr. Ackley asked, bringing Rachel out of her head and back into the room.
"You can tell already?" she asked skeptically. With Roxy, Liam and Zach they'd had to wait months before finding out. Here she was learning she was pregnant and discovering the sex of her next child all in one day. Rachel bit her lip then shook her head yes.
"It's a boy," Dr. Ackley announced before pointing out how she knew.
Rachel's eyes began tearing up. Everything was happening so fast and seemed so surreal that she couldn't tell if she was crying because she was happy, sad, scared or totally terrified; possibly all of those emotions and more. How was she going to tell Finn? Would he even believe it with how crazy it sounded? Rachel was the one carrying the baby and she couldn't believe it!
"I'll just print out some pictures for you and we can schedule an appointment with your OB/GYN if you'd like. He can help you with this more. Perhaps your husband should see his doctor as well and have him fix the problem that you already thought had been fixed."
Rachel stared at the baby on the screen until Dr. Ackley shut down the machine and put it away. She gave Rachel a few moments to collect herself and told her she could get her ultrasound pictures and handle any appointments she needed to make at the desk on the way out before awkwardly saying goodbye and stepping out of the room. Rachel just lied there, rubbing her belly over and over trying to figure out how she had missed so much over the past four months.
She should have been able to tell she was pregnant. All the signs had led to that conclusion even without the pregnancy test and ultrasound. Rachel had been adamant in her thinking that it was absurd for her to be pregnant again. Could anyone really blame her though? Finn had been unable to sire anymore children for nearly a year now…or so they had thought. Why would she conclude that she was with child again? That didn't make sense.
"Mommy," a little voice called out causing Rachel to momentarily forget her woes over not realizing she was pregnant. "Sleepy. Wan go home."
"Me too baby, me too."
Rachel finished up at the doctor and made her way home thinking about how to break the news to Finn. Would he welcome the idea of another kid and accept the fact his surgery hadn't taken or would he accuse Rachel of screwing around and hate the baby? She hoped after everything they'd been through and all the years they'd been together it would be the former.
When she arrived home she found Finn and Roxy on the couch watching TV together. They were both laughing at an old SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon on Boomerang and when the door slammed shut Finn finally noticed Rachel had made it home. He got up off the couch leaving Roxy honking in laughter at Patrick answering the telephone at the Krusty Krab incorrectly.
"Hey Rach," Finn greeted her as he wrapped his arms around Rachel and kissed her deeply. When he tried to pull away to say hello to his sons she just held him tighter not wanting to lose the contact with him. "Rachel, are you okay? Did everything go alright at the doctor's?"
Rachel stepped back from Finn and saw the concern all over his face. "I'm going to put the boys down for a little nap. They're both so exhausted from their day out. Then we can talk." Rachel didn't elaborate further causing Finn to worry even more as she walked down the hall into Liam and Zach's room. He followed after her.
"Did you have fun today?" Rachel asked Liam as she tucked him into his bed. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes sleepily. He let out a big yawn and his eyes drooped closed. Rachel kissed his forehead and put up the guard rail before turning to find Finn at Zach's crib letting him suck on his finger.
She walked over to him and rubbed his back. "We need to talk Finn."
His heartbeat quickened at her words and the worst thoughts started to cross his mind. He shook his head then let her lead him out of the room and into theirs. She shut the door behind Finn as he entered and motioned for him to sit on the bed, sitting next to him as he did so.
"I have some…pretty big news. It's kind of…life changing."
"Oh no, Rachel, are you…do you…have cancer…or something?" Finn asked nervously. Rachel could see the panic in his eyes and immediately needed to calm him down.
She shook her head no rapidly. "No, no, no, Finn, it's nothing like that at all. It's not a bad thing really. It's just…shocking and kind of hard to believe."
Her words seemed to alleviate his tension and panic but he was still very confused as to what was going on. "Rach, what is it? What do you have to tell me?"
Deciding being straightforward would be the best way to go, Rachel just spit it out. "Finn, your vasectomy didn't take and I know this because, well, I'm pregnant. About 18 weeks pregnant actually," she finished sounding slightly ashamed. She still felt stupid for not realizing on her own sooner.
The room went still and quiet as the words floated in the air. All Finn could do was stare at Rachel, an unreadable expression on his face.
"What do you mean you're pregnant? That's not possible. I had…but I had…" Her words were still sinking into his brain. His mind seemed unable to wrap around the concept that Rachel could be pregnant again. "Rachel, I got snipped so this wouldn't happen again. That was the whole point! We said three kids was enough!"
Rachel was relieved. It didn't appear that Finn thought she had cheated on him the way her doctor had. "I know but according to the doctor sometimes vasectomies can reverse themselves. It's very uncommon but not unheard of."
"Or you cheated on me," Finn suggested sadly.
So much for that Rachel thought to herself.
She gulped nervously. "Finn, you don't really believe I'd cheat on you? After all these years, after everything we've been through… I love you and only you and you are the only man I want in every sense of the word. I would never cheat on you."
Finn ran his hands through his hair and stood up. "I want to believe you but this just seems so…crazy! It's like the hot tub all over again! When I got it done the doctor said…he said this kind of thing wouldn't happen."
Rachel stood up too and wrapped her arms around Finn. "This isn't the hot tub all over again Finn because I'm not making this up so I can lie to you. I looked up the possibility of something like this and there's a 0.030% chance of it happening. You're just in that 0.030%. Or your doctor just didn't do it correctly. Believe me Finn; I'm just as shocked as you are. I had no idea I was pregnant! I wrote off all the signs as something else because I didn't think it was possible anymore."
She pressed her face into his chest willing him to believe her. It was the absolute truth and she would be devastated if Finn thought she was lying to him. Finally he hugged her back and kissed the top of her head.
It was insane to think that this was happening but with all the crazy things that had happened in their lives, why not think this kind of thing could occur. It seemed that if it would happen to anyone it would be to them. He knew Rachel wasn't lying. She didn't even have time for an affair much less the drive to pursue one. Between work, kids, and him, she barely had time to breathe. Plus, she still seemed as devoted to him as when they first got back together in high school. And they'd been having more sex lately which meant that she was spending more time with Finn and less time out of the house. That meant he really was shooting live rounds instead of blanks. Damn it! He'd have to get the surgery done again!
"Well that sucks." Rachel looked upset by his words. "Not the pregnant thing, the fact that I have to get another vasectomy! I'm finding another doctor." He pulled Rachel's chin up and kissed her.
"This whole situation is totally insane but I believe you Rach. I know you wouldn't cheat on me," he mumbled against her lips as he pressed his forehead against hers.
Rachel smiled at him with tears in her eyes. She was so nervous that this would explode into a huge fight and be painful for everyone involved but it hadn't. Finn trusted her.
"So, four kids huh? I think we're gonna need a bigger apartment," Finn said before he kissed Rachel again. She wrapped her arms around Finn's neck as he placed his hands at her hips.
"Definitely; I don't think we'd be able to fit three kids in one room because I know Roxy will not want to share," Rachel replied with a slight chuckle.
Finn narrowed his eyes at his wife. "Are you…is it a boy?" Finn asked with great interest. Rachel smiled, bit her lip and nodded at him. He smiled widely back at her and picked her up before kissing her once more.
Holding her still, Finn carried Rachel to the door and locked it before swiftly crossing the room and depositing Rachel on the bed. She giggled as he leaned over her and caged her in with his body. Finn pressed his lips to Rachel's before moving them down her neck and into the v of her blouse.
Finn placed his hand under Rachel's shirt to feel her baby bump. Much like Rachel he had noticed the signs of her pregnancy but wrote them off. He too believed it impossible for her to be pregnant again so when he noticed something, he just assumed it was something else entirely. Like her little pudge. Finn would never tell Rachel he'd noticed her gaining weight as she'd make him take cold showers for a week but he did. He thought maybe Rachel's metabolism was slowing or something or she was eating more than usual, which she was, so he just brushed it off. It wasn't a big deal really. Besides, as she seemed to put on the pudge, she wanted to have more sex so he figured don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
He pushed her shirt up and pulled her skirt down under her bump to reveal it entirely. Finn lifted his head and moved down to place it at her bump where he kissed her tenderly. He was going to have another kid and he couldn't believe it.
"Hi baby boy, I'm your Daddy," Finn said quietly to Rachel's stomach. He'd introduced himself to all their children this way and each time loved to mumble sweet nothings to her stomach. He said it made him felt closer to the baby since he couldn't be close to them the way Rachel was.
"Hey Daddy," Rachel's voice called out, dripping with seduction. "Mommy is up here and she's kinda missing Daddy's lips."
Finn gave her a half smile and as he moved back up to kiss Rachel again, he began to unbutton her blouse. It wasn't long after that that Rachel and Finn were completely nude and writhing around on their bed. As the boys were sleeping and Roxy was just down the hall watching TV, they needed to be quiet but it was proving rather difficult as Finn was doing things to Rachel that made her toes curl.
It wasn't even anything kinky or wild like some of their sexual encounters, but it was intimate and passionate and felt amazing. Finn took care to make sure Rachel was feeling pleasure all over her body and not just where she wanted it most. He grazed his fingers so lightly over her skin that it almost felt like a breeze touching her while he lavished her body with open mouthed kisses that left Rachel's heart beating a mile a minute.
He loved her body with everything he had and as she sat in his lap, very slowly riding him, letting him mark her with his mouth, she felt so connected to him.
Their bodies were sweaty and stuck together and Finn wanted to run his hands over every bit of Rachel he could reach. He held her flush against him as she moved her hips back and forth and Rachel clutched his head to her shoulder, pulling at the hair at the back of his head, moaning at the feeling of Finn sliding in and out of her. It was love making at its finest.
After what seemed eons of building tension, Rachel was finally plummeting over the edge. Her body shook in Finn's arms and she choked out a whine as she pulsed around Finn with her head thrown back and her eyes screwed shut. Finn wasn't long behind and both collapsed into each other falling against the pillows at the headboard. They remained entwined in each other, staring into each other's eyes, lightly caressing the other without a single word between them before a knock at the door pulled them from their world of bliss.
"I know you're in there. Roxy said you were home and all the other rooms are devoid of Finchel," Kurt's muffled voice could be heard through the door. He knocked again. "Rachel, Finn, open the door!"
Finn groaned at his brother's sudden appearance. What the hell was Kurt doing at his apartment? Didn't he have a husband and surrogate to bug or something? They didn't even live together anymore and he was still cockblocking Finn! At least he waited until after they had gotten through one really intense and awesome round to be annoying.
Rachel and Finn grudgingly untangled themselves and put their clothes back on. Kurt would easily be able to tell what they had just been up to but it was their apartment and their room. If they wanted to have sex that was their right as the occupants of said apartment and room.
Once decent, Finn opened the door. "What are you doing here Kurt? And how did you even get in?" he asked as Kurt breezed past him and went directly for the closet. He flung it open and tore through Finn's wardrobe.
"You gave me a key in case of emergencies remember? You weren't answering the door and Roxy kept insisting she wasn't allowed to open the door even though I told her it was me and it was okay. I figured this counted as an emergency, so I let myself in. No, uh uh, this is going." Kurt threw a Star Wars tie into the growing pile of clothes on the floor.
"Kurt, what the hell are you doing with my stuff?" Finn demanded as he walked over to the pile and picked up some of his favorite clothes Kurt had thrown there.
"At lunch today it was revealed to me that you still own articles of clothing that haven't been in style, well, ever really. So I'm here to save you from your wardrobe. Oh God! The dreaded puffy vest!" Kurt held out a hunter green puffy vest like it was going to bite him before tossing it directly into the garbage. "Not even the homeless would want those."
"Hey!" Finn dug the vest out of the garbage and held it to his chest in offence. "I love this vest. It's comfortable. I like wearing it when my torso is cold but my arms are hot."
Kurt stared at him like he was stupid. "That statement doesn't even make sense Finn. Now you are getting rid of this damn vest," he started trying to rip it away from Finn, "or else I'm destroying all your cargo pants!"
Finn was conflicted. He loved his puffy vest but he loved his cargo pants too and he knew Kurt was not lying. He never joked when it came to fashion.
"Can I keep one vest?" he asked like a small child trying to get his way.
Kurt narrowed his eyes. "Fine! You can keep one for nostalgia purposes but if I ever see you wearing it again so help me I will take a torch to it faster than you can say 'Lady Gaga is a goddess'! Choose wisely."
Finn gulped and walked over to his closet. Unbelievable! He was letting his fashion dictator brother come into his house and tell him what he could and couldn't wear. There had to be a way to salvage his things. This was ridiculous!
"Kurt, no. This is my house and my stuff and I'm not letting you tell me what I can and can't wear! When it comes to the fancy stuff I promise you can pick out every last detail but on a daily basis I'm not going to let you dictate my clothes. So if you don't mind, I'd like you to get your fashionista ass out of my house!" Finn emphasized his words by pointing fiercely at the door.
Kurt just rolled his eyes as his hand sat on his hip tiredly. "If you're done with your little tantrum I'll be getting back to your closet now." He walked right past Finn and continued to pull clothes out of it, tossing them to the floor.
"Well it was worth a try," Finn said to Rachel who was holding back a giggle. There were just some things Kurt would not budge on.
As Kurt rifled through Finn's clothing, he looked back at Rachel with interest. "Rachel, how did your doctor's appointment go? Did they figure out what's wrong?"
Rachel and Finn glanced at each other wondering if now was the best time to tell him. "Might as well. He's going to find out sooner or later," Finn stated quietly. Rachel shook her head in agreement.
"You know you're theory at lunch about how I might be pregnant?"
"Uh huh," he replied absent-mindedly.
"Well, turns out you were right. I'm 18 weeks pregnant," Rachel said as if it were no big deal. Kurt stopped his assault on Finn's wardrobe.
"I'm confused. I thought you said that was impossible as Finn has been neutered. Did you lie to her and not actually go through with it?" Kurt asked, pointing an accusing finger at his brother.
"What? No! I did get it done. It just didn't work apparently which sucks because I have to go again now!" Finn was quite aggravated about that. He didn't so much mind that he and Rachel were having another kid. It certainly wasn't in the plan but worse things could happen.
"Okay, but, Rachel, I don't understand. You've had three other kids! How did you not recognize the signs? Same for you Finn! You've both been through this multiple times."
"I knew something was off but I didn't think they were pregnancy signs because I didn't think I could get pregnant again! You know there's a whole show about women who didn't realize they were pregnant until the baby was popping out of them? It's not as uncommon as you would think," Rachel explained, annoyed at how foolish Kurt was making her feel.
"Have you told the little ones yet?"
Rachel and Finn shook their heads. "Liam was with me when I found out but he didn't understand and I only just told Finn about an hour ago. We're still wrapping our heads around it. Roxy is under the impression that Mommy and Daddy won't be having anymore kids. She's not going to be happy."
"You should tell her soon. Delaying the inevitable won't do any good." Kurt turned back to the closet and pulled a few more items out of it before deeming about three shirts and two pairs of pants acceptable.
"As a baby gift I'm going to buy you a whole new closet! I'm going to take these and donate them to the blind because at least they won't see how horrible they are."
Rachel gasped at his cheeky remark while Finn commented on his statement.
"How is that a baby gift? It's not for the baby," he cocked an eyebrow at him and glanced between Rachel and Kurt.
"Yes it is because then he won't have to see what poor choice of clothing his father wears. Is it a boy? Or will Roxy be getting that little sister she never wanted?"
"It's a boy. Finn is getting the three boys he wanted now. I seriously hope they aren't like the King boys. I do not need this guy," Rachel patted her stomach," running around naked screaming about the porno he just found on TV."
Kurt looked confused by Rachel's words but decided they were not of import. He scooped up the clothes he'd thrown on the floor and tossed them into a garbage bag he'd brought with him.
"I'm going to go now. I know it's unexpected but, congratulations on my new nephew. Looks like we'll be having kids around the same time now. Oh and Finn, I have all your measurements so don't worry, you're closet will be filled again by the end of the week with clothes that are fashionable yet retain your…Finn-ness." He waved his hand around to indicate Finn's persona. "And then I will be able to sleep at night knowing there isn't a puffy vest anywhere in this apartment. Goodbye you two. Have fun celebrating." Kurt winked knowingly at them. He definitely knew what they had been up to before opening the door.
As Kurt exited the room, Roxy walked in and said goodbye to him.
"What's in the garbage bag?" she asked Finn who had sat back down on the bed.
"Oh just most of Daddy's clothes. Uncle Kurt finally lost it and raided his closet," Rachel supplied pulling Finn up and walking him and Roxy out to the living room. She knew Kurt was right. They needed to tell Roxy that she was pregnant so she could begin to adjust quicker.
"Sweetie, Mommy and Daddy have some big news to tell you that is probably going to be confusing but you need to know it okay?" Rachel started as they made themselves comfy on the couch. She looked at Finn for support. He took Roxy's hand while Rachel continued.
"Roxy, you know how Mommy and Daddy said we wouldn't have any more babies after Zach was born?" Roxy shook her head. "Well sweetie, something happened and now we are having another baby. You're getting another little brother."
Roxy stared blankly at Rachel. "You're having another baby?" Roxy asked just as blankly. Rachel smiled slightly as she shook her head in confirmation. Then the emotions surfaced.
"This isn't fair! You can't have another baby! I don't want another brother!" She flung herself back onto the couch and threw her arm over her eyes dramatically. "My life is ruined!"
Rachel just sighed while Finn rolled his eyes. Ever the mini drama queen Roxy was.
"Roxy, it's okay. Do you remember the talk we had the last time you found out Mommy was having a baby? We still love you just as much, another baby won't change that." Finn thought that her concern over being forgotten was what was upsetting her.
"I know!" she shouted at him before standing up. "I just have two annoying baby brothers already. I don't want another annoying one!" She stormed off in the direction of her bedroom and slammed the door loudly. Seconds later a cry could be heard coming from the baby monitor on the coffee table.
"She took it pretty well, I think," Finn said as he stood up to go take care of Zachary.
Rachel gave him an 'Are-you-fucking-kidding-me?' stare and placed her head in her hands.
It was going to be a long 22 weeks until the new baby boy Hudson was born.
One: No copyright infringement intended with the title of this chapter. I just thought it was a nice play on the fact that Dianna Agron was in I Am Number Four and this is about Finn and Rachel's fourth kid. Glee connections everywhere!
Two: I just had to use the quote Cory tweeted about Finn's puffy vests in here. I had to.
Three: That 'lock up your daughters' shirt is real and the most adorable little boy was wearing it when he came into the store I work at. He called me 'Amantha' and I about died from the cuteness.
Four: Once a goat really did start eating the pocket of my uncle's pants when we visited a petting zoo. It was pretty hilarious.
Five: Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing and favoriting and alerting, etc... I can't tell you enough just how much I appreciate it.
