On Saturday while Quinn is out shopping for maternity clothes with Kurt and Mercedes, Finn, along with the rest of the Glee Club and his Mom, are working to get everything all set up for Quinn's baby shower. When Finn approached his Mom with the idea about having a baby shower for Quinn not only had she agreed to help out, but also to pay for the food. Puck and Finn were finishing hanging up some pink streamers in the living room, while Artie and Tina were arranging all of the gifts on a table. Over on the other side of the living room, Mike, Matt, Santana, and Brittany were blowing up balloons, well Brittany was failing at blowing up the balloons. "Oh my God," Santana says, rolling her eyes, "You can't even blow up a damn balloon."
"I'm trying, but somehow it always goes flat," Brittany says confused as to why she can't get the stupid balloon to blow.
"Did you try tying it shut?"Santana asks sarcastically.
"You have to tie them?" Brittany asks.
"Oh my God, you're ridiculous!" Santana says rolling her eyes again as she takes the balloon from her.
"Hey, Brittany, why don't you let us finish this and you can go over and help Artie and Tina finish setting up the gift table," Matt suggests.
"Yeah, I think that's a great idea," Mike adds.
"Okay," Brittany says as she walks over to the other side of the living room.
"Guys, Kurt and Mercedes will be back with Quinn in less than an hour! It's already 1:15!" Rachel says. Finn thinks it's kind of weird that Quinn's his girlfriend and the baby shower is at his house and yet Rachel's the person taking charge, not him or even his Mom. Then again Rachel has always liked to be in charge and have control over everything.
"Rachel, relax, Kurt's going to text me right before they leave the mall. Besides, the goal is to get Quinn here around 2, but I doubt they'll be back on time 'cause when I took her shopping last weekend it took forever!" Finn says laughing.
"Yeah, Berry, chill, besides who put you in charge, anyway? You haven't really done anything except stand around and tell everyone else what to do." Puck says, as he and Finn finish putting up the last streamer.
"Noah, just because we're dating now doesn't give you the right criticize me! Besides, someone has to take charge and make sure that everything is ready before Kurt and Mercedes get back with Quinn."
"And since Quinn is Finn's girlfriend and we're having the party here at his house, it makes perfect sense for you to be the person in charge of everything," Puck says sarcastically.
"Guys, it's fine, besides Rachel's right that someone needed to take charge and make sure everything's gonna get done in time and that's exactly what she's doing," Finn says hoping to avoid an argument between Rachel and Puck. He knows that Puck really likes Rachel, but at times like this he definitely has the weirdest way of showing how much he cares about her.
"Anyway," says Rachel continuing on, "Artie, Tina, and Brittany, are you done setting up the table with all the presents on it?"
"Yeah, how does it look?" asks Artie.
"It looks great," says Finn, jumping in before Rachel can answer. "Quinn's gonna love all of this, I can guarantee you she's gonna cry when she sees all of this."
"Yeah, but doesn't she cry at like everything right now?" Puck asks.
"Yeah, but it's not like she can help it since she's pregnant and her hormones are all out of whack and stuff," Finn says defending his girlfriend. "Besides, she's gonna cry because she's so happy that we all put together this baby shower for her. I can't even begin to thank you guys for all your help with this situation and everything."
"Hey, what kind of friends would be if we weren't willing to help you out when you and Quinn need us the most?" Tina says.
"Yeah, we're your friends, that's what we're here for," adds Artie.
"Yeah, well, like I said, thanks," says Finn.
"Hey, Finn, do you know if you're mom is finished with the cake yet?" Rachel asks.
"I don't know, let me go check," Finn says, as he walks towards the kitchen.
"Everyone else, we should start cleaning everything up, since it looks like almost everything is done finally," says Rachel.
"Rach, she's just finishing it up. She said she'll bring it out and put it on the table with the rest of the food when she's done," Finn says as he walks back into the living room.
"Good, well, I think that we're just about ready then. Now we just have to wait for Kurt and Mercedes to get here with Quinn," says Rachel.

At around 2:15, Finn gets a text from Kurt:
We're leaving the mall now. We should be there in about 15 mins.
"Hey guys, Kurt just texted me and he says they're just leaving the mall now and that they should be in here in fifteen minutes," Finn says attempting to get everyone's attention.
"Okay, we still need to decide what we're going to do once Quinn gets here, how we're going to get her into the living room and everything," Rachel says taking charge once again.
"I was just thinking I could be waiting for her when she walks in the door and tell that I have something to show her and then just walk into the living room with her and you guys could jump out and say 'Surprise!' or whatever," says Finn, hoping that for once someone will let him have a say on this baby shower.
"Finn, that's what everyone does. I mean, shouldn't we try to think of something more unique and creative? Quinn should make some kind of grand entrance, like what if we put down the extra streamers and have it be like a pink carpet that leads her to the living room, you know like her own red carpet-"
"Uh, Rachel, Quinn's not really into showy things like that," Finn says cutting her off. "Besides, no offense Rachel, but Quinn's my girlfriend, so I kind of want to be the person leading her in here, okay?"
"Fine, we'll do it your way," Rachel says giving into Finn. "I guess all that's left then is to wait until they get here."

A few minutes later, Carole walks into the living room, "I just saw Kurt's car pull up, just thought I'd let you guys know."
"Okay, thanks Mom," Finn says making his way to the front to door to greet Quinn.
The door opens and Quinn walks in, her hands full of shopping bags.
"Hey, did you have fun shopping?" Finn asks as he hugs her and takes the bags from her.
"Yeah, I did and I think I got everything I needed."
"That's good. Hey, I got something I need to show you," he says as motions silently to Kurt and Mercedes, who are waiting outside, to follow him and Quinn.
The second Finn and Quinn enter the living room, everyone jumps out and yells "Surprise!"
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Is this what I think it is?" Quinn says with a look of surprise on her face.
"Uh, Quinn, how are we supposed to know what you're thinking?" Brittany asks.
"Yes, it's a baby shower for you," Kurt says, as he and Mercedes make their way into the room.
"I can't believe you guys did all of this for me! I mean you guys went all out with decorations and everything," Quinn noticing the pink streamers.
"See, I told you that everything's going to be okay," Finn smiles as he puts down the bags of clothes that were in his hands.
"So, this baby shower was all your idea? Finn, you are so sweet," Quinn says kissing him.
"No, actually it was Kurt's idea."
"It might've been my idea, but we all wanted to throw a baby shower for you and we all worked together getting everything ready for it."
"You guys are so amazing, I just can't believe you did all this for me," Quinn says, unable to stop the tears that are starting are fall from her eyes.
"Hey girl, you know we all got you and Finn's backs," Mercedes says.
"You guys are the best," Quinn says as she takes a seat on the couch and motions for Finn to sit down beside her.
"Hey sweetie," Carole says as she makes her out of the kitchen and over to give Quinn a hug.
"Hey, Carole," Quinn says returning her hug. "I'm guessing you were in on all of this too."
"Hey, every mother-to-be deserves a baby shower, especially you."
"Aww, thanks Carole."
"You're welcome, sweetheart."
"So what do you want to do first, Quinn, games, presents, or food?" Finn asks.
"Personally, I have my eye on that chocolate cake sitting on that back table over there."
"Alright, then food it is," Finn says.
"Let the party begin!" Kurt exclaims.

After the baby shower ends, Quinn and Finn start cleaning everything up. Quinn still couldn't believe how great her friends were to throw her a baby shower.
"Hey, babe, I think I finally got all the gifts upstairs in our room," Finn says as he walks downstairs into the living room to find Quinn tidying up the couch. "Well, everything except the crib, of course," he motions to the empty crib beside the couch.
"I still can't believe your mom and Mr. Hummel got us a crib!" Quinn says. She knows Finn still isn't too thrilled that his mom started dating Mr. Hummel, Kurt's dad, a few weeks ago, but she knew even Finn had to agree that the crib was a greatly appreciated gift.
"Yeah, it is a really nice gift. I didn't even know they were giving us this, so I was surprised too."
"Yeah, I know, I could tell by the look on your face when they brought it out; you don't hide your emotions very well," Quinn says laughing as she thinks about the shocked look that appeared on Finn's face when his mom and Mr. Hummel had brought the crib out into the living room."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Finn asks slightly offended.
"Finn, it's a good thing and one of the things I love the most about you," Quinn says as she kisses him. "Most guys aren't real comfortable showing their emotions, but that's something you've always been able to do."
"I think it's more that I just have never been able to hide my emotions real well, like you said."
"Yeah, well, don't ever change that about yourself, Finn, a real man isn't afraid to show his emotions. Anyway, do you need me to help you carry the crib up to the baby's room?"
"You shouldn't be trying to carry anything anywhere near that heavy, I'll just wait and have my Mom help me carry it up in the morning," Finn says, making it clear that he will not allow Quinn to help him carry it upstairs. "Are you ready to head upstairs for the night? I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired."
"Yeah," Quinn says as she takes his hand and they head upstairs to their room.
When they walk into their room and Quinn sees the pile of gifts on the floor, she can't help but smile at the fact that their friends really went all out for this. "I still can't believe how many things we got for the baby today. I mean, a crib, bedding for the crib, bottles, pacifiers, baby monitors, a diaper bag-"
"And diapers, lots of diapers." interrupts Finn.
"Yeah, we definitely got plenty of diapers. Did you hear Artie say that they still have the high chair from when his sister was little and he's pretty sure his mom will let us have it?" Quinn says as she climbs into their bed.
"No, I didn't hear him say that, but that would be great," Finn says as he climbs into bed next to Quinn.
"Yeah, he says he'll let us know at school on Monday. We still need to get a changing table and car seat though and a couple of little things, like a few more toys for her, because as of right now she just has one little pink doll."
"Hey, don't worry about it, we'll figure it out. Besides, we now have a crib and possibly a high chair, so that's a pretty good start don't you think? I mean, we're definitely a hell of a lot better off than we were a day ago."
"Yeah, you're right. I still can't believe Santana and Brittany got me a breast pump," Quinn says laughing.
"Yeah, that one definitely surprised me," Finn says. "Then again if any of our friends would get you one for you it would be them. Who the hell knows if Brittany even knows what it's used for."
"Finn!" Quinn says feeling the need to defend her friend.
"Quinn, she couldn't even figure out how blow up a balloon this afternoon."
"Yeah, that sounds like Brittany," Quinn says having to agree with Finn that Brittany isn't exactly the brightest person. "What did you think of all the cute little baby outfits?"
"I think it's pretty safe to say that thanks to Kurt and Mercedes our daughter will be the most stylish baby in Lima," Finn says.
"I couldn't agree with you more," Quinn says smiling.
"Hey, Quinn," Finn says as he gets out of bed to get something out of his dresser. "There is still is one more gift. I didn't give it to you in front of everyone because it's kind of personal," he says as he gets what he needs out of his dresser and heads back over to their bed. "It's my gee-gee, you know the baby blanket my Dad gave me the day I was born."
"Oh, Finn," Quinn says, as the tears fall from her eyes for what felt like the millionth time that day.
"I mean, I know I already gave it to you shortly after you told me you were pregnant, but since you gave it back to me when we broke up, I figured I should give it back to you since we're back together now and I really do want our daughter to have it."
"Finn, thank you. I know this means a lot to you since your dad gave it to you and everything and I think it's great that you want to pass it on to our daughter. This by far is my favorite gift, just because I know it means so much to you and because it's from you of course."
"Thanks, Quinn," Finn says as he kisses his girlfriend goodnight.
