Its been a week since Rachel told Finn the test was negative. Shes tried everything she has done to make sure he wouldn't find out. But with the Wicked auditions coming up, she had been practicing non stop then puking in the middle of her practice. This was her once shot that could shoot her to the top. And if morning sickness interrupted that, she wasnt sure how she would manage it. Nervous as she was, Kurt had to know. So before school she headed over to school before Finn woke up. Her hand repeatedly knocked on Kurt's door until he opened.
Kurt-Oh, so you learned how to knock?
His smiled faded when he realized that she was hear for a reason. She didn't have to tell them. What happened last week gave them all the evidence they needed. Kurt just had to say one thing.
Kurt-So what did the test say?
Entering the room felt sort of akward. Blaine and Kurt eying her suspiciously, trying to read her. So she placed herself on a chair just in case she fainted when telling them.
Rachel-Honestly it was a positive.
She cheered along with Kurt and they hopped around then Blaine joined in.
Kurt-Finn must be so happy.
Rachel-Um,yeah. Just don't mention it around him cause i bet he is still in shock.
Blaine-Got it.
Kurt-No problem, i could only imagine how it would be like, you know, a surprise like that!
Rachel-Speaking of Finn im gonna see if hes up yet.
Kurt-Kay.
She intentionally left her purse on the couch and ran to her apartment.
Rachel-Hey Finny you ready?
Finn-Yeah lets head out.
Rachel-Cool, oh wait I forgot my purse at kurts apartment. I will meet you outside.
Finn-okay then.
He shut the door and she raced to Kurt's and went to the bathroom because of morning sickness.
Finn waited about 5 minutes for her and got suspicious so he went up to Kurt's apartment.
As he entered Kurt and Blaine were sipping on coffee.
Kurt-Hey Finn.
Finn-Wheres Rachel?
Blaine-In the bathroom.
Finn-Oh. Well when shes done tell her we have to hurry.
Kurt-Be patient its hard for a woman during morning sickness.
Finn was about to walk out the door and paused.
Finn-Morning what?
Blaine-Morning sickness, its what women get when they are pregnant so don't worry about it.
Finn-But shes not pregnant.
Kurt-Seriously Finn, how much time do you bother to spend with her?
What the hell has she been telling them? Did she seriously to him. His frustration grew, hoping he would prove them wrong.
Finn-The test came out negative.
Kurt-No, it came out positive.
Blaine-Wait, is that why Rachel said to not talk about it.
Finn rose an eyebrow in curiosity. So she has been saying stuff to them.
Kurt-We better leave before this gets nasty. See you guys at school!
They got up and immediately left the room, leaving Finn alone while confused at the same time. But he was pretty sure he was catching up. He walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it. She didn't answer and opened it to see if she was okay. She was on the floor beside the toilet wiping the side of her mouth.
Finn-I'm pretty sure food poisoning doesn't last this long last time I checked.
They stared into each others eyes and Finn could see it, hurt, nothing but that filled her eyes. She got up and ran into his arms, squeezing him tightly. He kept his hand on the door and began to weep himself.
Rachel-I'm so sorry Finn. I wanted to tell you but I was afraid that you would get upset and who knows what would have happened!
He stood holding Rachel and couldn't tell if he needed to be angry or feel bad for her. He took her by the shoulders.
Finn-Look,look at me. Just need to relax. I love you, Rachel. Because i know that you were nervous and afraid,none of this is your fault. Im the one that kept putting the pressure on you about the results and I apologize, but I just need you to trust me on this Rach.
She nodded repeatedly while tears still fell and her eyes created more.
Finn- I know money will be tight, but this is our child and im gonna do anything I can to be a good father.
She stopped crying and Finn wiped her tears, holding her face in his hands. What he didn't expect was for her to go into a big smile.
Rachel-I cant believe this is actually happening, we're gonna be parents.
Soon enough a smile appeared on his face as well.
Rachel-You know, this went way better than I thought it would. I thought you were gonna leave me or even worse…get divorced.
Finn-I could never do that to you. No matter how much you hurt me.
She let her head sink into his chest as a thought appeared.
Finn-But that doesn't mean I want you going out with other guys you know that right.
Rachel-I know I know. Just keep hugging me.
Finn-You cant get enough of me can you.
Rachel-Actually this position is keeping me from puking out my guts.
Finn-You really..didn't need to tell me that.
He patted her back and she started to laugh. They decided to skip school that day and just stay home and enjoy each other. Finn had to deal with watching Desperate Housewives and Rachel had to watch baseball.
She secretly liked baseball but never told Finn that way if he ever punished her, she would enjoy it anyways.
BREAK
This was it, face to face with her top competitors for one of the greatest roles in her life. Her feet planted in front of Gershwin Theater as Finn slowly let go of her hand.
Rachel-Just sit in the empty chairs in the audience, i need someone to look at when i sing so i can cry.
Finn-Rach, I have to meet my boss in an hour. I'll go to the meeting and pick you up at 8.
3 hours, in a building, with complete strangers.
Rachel-Fine. I love you.
He stroked her shoulder, then headed off in a different direction. As she entered the building, it brought back memories from the Showchoir Nationals trip and how, that very moment on stage made her feel as if she was no longer that diva in showchoir, the girl in the front of the class answering all the questions. She felt like a star. Taking it all in, her eyes gazed at a cluster of girls on the stage, then several girls off to the side. Few of them eyed Rachel and its as if one of them knew her.
Isabelle-Hey, arent you the one that made out with that tall cute guy at Tristian's party?
Crap. Such a reputation she has with these people now.
Rachel-Yeah, but i was drunk so, i probably didnt even know it was real.
Isabelle-What about when Chloe kissed him?
Rachel- That's when it became a nightmare.
Chloe-I'll say.
No. She is not here. No no no no! She'd rather die than let her be here. Her body turned to face Chloe leaning against the backstage pole. Her pink frilly skirt with a matching tank and pink rubber boots. Who let Daphne Blake in?
Chloe-This should be fun, Berry. You. Me. Competing for the role. If you're trying out for Alphaba, minus well give up. I can outstand you. Only chance you'll have for consideration is your little witch nose, Berry.
Her comment made the group of girls snicker and the ones off to the side roll there eyes.
Rachel-If anything you should be Glinda. You're pretty, blonde, stuck up, a bitch.
I stated with my arms folded and making Chloe's mouth drop into an O shape.
Chloe-Bring it Berry!
Abraham- That won't be necessary ladies. I will be the judge of who really brings it. Your job is to stay in character, no matter what the other bitches say got it.
He's gay, i know it. I'm pretty sure Kurt mentioned him to me. Abraham! Thats it. He's the man who is in charge of final auditions for any musicals at Gershwin. Quite remarkable if you ask me. He found rare talent such as Barbra and Patti when they were unsung heroes. Hoping one day, i'd follow in their footsteps. He lined us up showing us basic moves for a standard Broadway show, and expected us to mimic them after watching him once.
The movement frightened me a bit. I have a human inside of me and expects me to do twirls and bends? Well i should be fine. It's only been a month anyways and my stomach is barely showing. So i do the moves. Perfectly. I notice his quick glances at me, hinting that he is either astounded by my progress or questioning my rhythm.
It's when ever we do it repeatedly that I feel sick to my stomach. I feel the blood in my face drain and my body stiffen. Before you know it, i up chuck all over Chloe, who stands next to me.
Chloe-AHHHHHHHHH!
Her hands held out, trying to defend herself. As soon as my eyes open, I'm center of attention. Abraham, paralyzed, expression of horror. I immediately ran out of the auditorium and went onto the sidewalks to call Kurt.
Kurt-Hello?
Rachel-Can you pick me up in front of Gershwin..please?
BREAK
Kurt- All over her?
Rachel-It went every where Kurt, i was like a human sprinkler!
Kurt- Well did you tell them, that you're with child.
Rachel- Who would want a pregnant 20 year old playing an evil witch that flys and dances in every scene!
Kurt-I would. Come on Rachel! It's better that youj tell them now, instead of making even bigger of a mess on the actual night of the performance.
Rachel- IF I GET IN!
She slammed herself into his couch, digging her face into his cushions.
Rachel- This my only chance for this role and now it's gonna be handed down to the evil Wicked witch of the west herself!
Kurt- Chloe isn't getting the part. Sure she's a bitch that could perfectly fit the part, but not as perfect as you will.
He bent down next to her and grasping her shoulder.
Kurt-You're fucking Rachel Barbra Berry. Star of McKinley High's Glee Club and soon to be Broadway legend.
Rachel- You know what? You're absolutely right.
She sat up, positive and with a grin on her face.
Kurt- Today never happened. Got that?
Rachel- I love you.
She kissed the side of his cheek and squeezed him tight. He felt her grasp loosen and thought she was done hugging him, instead she ran straight to his bathroom, slamming the door shut.
Kurt-Poor thing.
Silence. What happened?
Rachel-Kurt? Do you have a mop?
Kurt-RACHEL!
