Thank you for reviewing. I love to know that people are still reading and enjoying the story. I hate to think that I'm not writing for anyone, but I'll keep writing it anyway. :) Here is the next chapter. Enjoy! :)

Rachel and Quinn were meeting up with the other football wives for an afternoon lunch and gossip session. It was the first time that all of the women had been free at the same time in months. It was sure to be an interesting day. Rachel found herself nervous again and she didn't know why. She had met the women before, but it had always made her nervous that something would be said about her.

Quinn squeezed her hand and said, "Rach, calm down. It's going to be okay. They all love you. You have met them all before."

"You are right. I just get so nervous. I don't want anything to be said that could mess things up for Finn and I."

"You know that isn't going to happen. He loves you. Don't worry about the kids either. Carole, Burt, Blaine and Kurt have them under control. If I left Elle with them then Rachel and Quinn were meeting up with the other football wives for an afternoon lunch and gossip session. It was the first time that all of the women had been free at the same time in months. It was sure to be an interesting day. Rachel found herself nervous again and she didn't know why.

Quinn squeezed her hand and said, "Rach, calm down. It's going to be okay. They all love you. You have met them all before."

"You are right. I just get so nervous. I don't want anything to be said that could mess things up for Finn and I."

"You know that isn't going to happen. He loves you. Don't worry about the kids either. Carole, Burt, Blaine and Kurt have them under control. If I left Elle with them then you know they are safe."

Rachel smiled and hugged her. "Thank you so much."

"No problem. Let's get in there. We are going to have a fun, childless day. There is nothing for you to worry about."

"I can't do anything without a child."

Quinn rolled her eyes and said, "You know what I mean. You don't have to worry about two six year olds and that big 24 year old kid that always tagging along."

"I miss him."

"They will be home in two days. You have a day off. Take advantage of it."

"You are right. Let's go talk to everyone."

Quinn and Rachel walked up to the table at the restaurant. Quinn said, "Okay, the party can start. We are here."

All the women looked up. Mercedes, Clara, Tessa and Emma were the ones that had taken the most liking to Rachel. The four of them came over and made a big deal about her belly. It was the normal woman meeting. Mercedes said, "Momma, you are glowing."

Rachel smiled. "Thank you Mercedes."

Clara asked, "When are you due?"

"Next month, but she could come any day and I would be ready. I forgot how hard pregnancy was."

Mercedes told her, "You look like you have it figured out. You look wonderful."

"Thank you so much. I feel less than beautiful right now, but I wouldn't trade any of my kids for anything."

Tessa asked, "Do you have a name picked out?"

"Drew McKinley."

"I love that. I'm sure she is going to be a superstar with two parents like the two of you. I'm sure she is going to be a beautiful baby as well."

"Thank you so much. I hope she looks just like Finn. I don't want to curse her with this nose. I know what kind of teasing it brings with it."

"I don't think you have to worry about anyone teasing her. She will have a bunch of big football uncles that will fight anyone that says anything about her."

Rachel chuckled. "That is probably right."

Clara told her, "No, it is right. All of the guys are looking forward to her as much as you and Finn are. They may seem tough on the outside, but they are just a bunch of saps that love babies."

"I'm glad. All of you are like our extended family."

"That's the way it goes around here. The guys love Finn and anyone that comes with him are going to be part of the family, too. Us wives love you, so it all works out."

Rachel went to sit down. She looked down at the end of the table and gasped. Quinn leaned over and asked, "Are you okay?"

She whispered, "It's Macie!"

Quinn looked up and there she was. "Do you want to leave? I can take you home. I have no idea why she is here."

"I'm just going to go to the bathroom. This little one is bouncing on my bladder and I need to compose myself."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"I'll be fine. Sit here and I'll be right back."

"Okay. If you need me let me know."

"Q, I'm just going to the bathroom. I'll be back in a couple of minutes."

"Okay. Finn will kill me if something happens to you. I can't leave my daughter motherless."

Rachel rolled her eyes. "Nothing is going to happen to me. I am going to be fine. Stop worrying. You are about as bad as Finn."


Rachel had went to the bathroom. She was going to wash her hands. She looked up to see Macie. Rachel said, "Um… Hello."

"So, you are the chick that stole my life. I think Finn downgraded when he went to you. I may have been in high school when I left, but I was still better than you."

Rachel was so glad she had Quinn on speed dial. She hit the button while her phone was in her pocket hoping that Quinn would come soon. Rachel didn't know what she was capable of and she didn't want anything to happen to her baby. She didn't care about herself. Drew was most important.

Rachel said, "Calm down. I'm sorry. I really am. Finn and I just came across each other by chance and fell in love."

"You are kidding yourself. He doesn't love you. He is in love with me. He always will be. I'm the mother of his son."

Rachel looked down at her protruding stomach and said, "If you haven't noticed I'm the mother of one of his children as well."

"You were just someone to keep him from being lonely. He would leave you for me in a heartbeat."

"If you don't remember, he didn't marry you. He married me. You tried to ruin our wedding, but I'm still the one with Hudson for a last name. If you would excuse me I am going to go out and talk to my friends."

"Oh, I don't think so. You aren't leaving here that easy. I want you to leave Finn. He deserves better than you and all your drama. He doesn't need to deal with all of the family drama you bring. You should marry the man that got you pregnant the first time and leave my baby daddy alone."

Rachel was scared now. Quinn came bursting through the door. Without much of a thought, Quinn punched Macie in the face. She told her, "Stay away from Finn, Dayton, Rachel, Brie and their baby. They are happy. You messed Finn up enough in the past. Rachel is good for him. The two of them love each other and you are not going to ruin that. I won't let you. I am going to be there everywhere you think you are going to find Rachel alone. You are not going to threaten her and get away with it. You are only after Finn's money anyway. You gave up all rights to Dayton and Finn when you walked away six years ago. You don't deserve them. They deserve better than you. Leave. NOW!"

Macie smirked and said, "I don't have to leave. My boyfriend is on the football team. I'm here for the same reason the two of you are."

Rachel was a mess. There was no way she was going to get rid of this girl now.

Quinn could see that Rachel was upset. She walked over and said, "Come on, Rach. Let's go home. We'll watch some movies and eat some sour patch kids."

Rachel managed a small smile and nodded.

Macie told them, "You aren't going to be getting rid of me that easy. My boyfriend wants me to get involved with the wives. I more than anything plan on doing just that."

Quinn and Rachel left without telling anyone goodbye. Quinn just knew that she had to get Rachel home.


As soon as they walked into the Hudson house, Rachel went back to her room and shut the door. Carole had Burt take the kids outside. Carole asked Quinn, "What is going on?"

Quinn said, "Macie showed up and threatened Rachel. I brought her home and tried to keep her from getting too upset. I'm going to call Finn and then we are going to watch movies."

"Thank you for being there for her, Quinn."

"I love Rachel. She is the best friend I have ever had. I'm not about to let someone walk all over her or say the ridiculous things to her that Macie did. Excuse me. I'm going to call Finn and let him know what is going on so he can figure out what to do."

"You have to come up with something. Rachel is such a sweetheart. She doesn't deserve all of that. Especially while she is pregnant."

Quinn dialed Finn's number and walked away.

Finn answered, "Q, what's up?"

"We have a problem."

"Are Rachel and the baby okay? Are Brie and Day okay?"

"The kids are okay. There is a problem."

"What is it? You are freaking me out."

"Macie showed up at the football wives lunch."

"Why was she there? How did she know about it?"

"She is dating one of your teammates. Finn, Rachel is afraid she is going to lose her. Macie did a real number on her self confidence level."

"Oh Q."

"I punched her in the face for you, if that makes you feel any better."

Finn laughed. "You are definitely married to Puckerman. He has taught you well. Thank you for taking care of my girl."

"No problem. I just wanted to give you a heads up. I'm going to go back and watch movies with her now. Tell Puck I love him. We will see you guys in a couple of days. Make sure you call Rach later."

"Thanks for being there, Q."

"Of course."

"Are Brie and Day causing any trouble?"

"No. I don't know why you worry about that. They are little angels. Burt has them outside until I can get Rachel calmed down. Take care of yourself. Don't do anything stupid. I don't want to see you hurt."

"You got it. I'll come home in one piece like I always do. Go take care of my woman and baby. Tell her I love her and I'll call her in a couple of hours."

"You got it, daddy." The two of them said goodbye and hung up.


Finn looked up at Puck. Puck asked, "What is my woman doing calling you?"

"Macie showed up at the lunch today."

"Oh heck no! How did that happen?"

"One of the guys is dating her!"

"Oh, that is not going to happen. I'm not going to let Macie back around you, the Jewish princess and the munchkins. Especially not Day. The chick is crazy and you don't need that."

"Thanks man."

Puck stood up and said, "Okay dudes. Who is dating Macie Green?"

All the guys looked around the bus. Tanner looked up and said, "I am. Why?"

Finn said, "Man, do you know who she is?"

"Uhh… No?"

"She is Dayton's mom. She came back to New York looking to try to win me and Day back. She went to the lunch today and threatened Rachel."

"That couldn't have been Mace. She wouldn't do something like that."

Puck stood up. "I beg the differ. I've known the chick a long time. She is crazy."

"Don't talk about my girlfriend like that."

Finn said, "She threatened my wife. That is not okay. I mean you all know Rachel. Quinn was there and had to stop her. Actually she punched her in the face."

Puck snorted, "That's my girl." Finn chuckled.

The coach said, "That's enough boys. Figure this out on your own time. We are about to head out to practice and I don't want anything to get in your way."

The guys said, "Yes sir." Finn planned on having a talk with Tanner later and he knew that Puck would be at his side. He really was his best friend and he was glad for that.


Rachel and Quinn watched movies into the night. They only stopped when dinner was ready and Finn called. Rachel couldn't believe that someone would have the nerve to come and try to make her believe that her husband had fewer feelings for her than he does. Rachel was just glad to have Quinn there to remind her that Finn loved her more than anything.
