And now the continuation.

CHAPTER 38 - BREAKING THE NEWS
.
Tina, Puck, and Quinn had stayed back in the cafeteria to discuss the situation with Tina's boy, Bobby, while everyone else had their breakfast and went either back to their rooms, or to hang out in the games room, or gym before they to do go to the Choir Room, to start their day of practicing.
Meanwhile Finn, Rachel, and and Emma made it back to the cafeteria, where Rachel finally did manage to eat something. Will joined them.
"So is everything okay, Rachel?" asked Will
"I'm fine thanks, Mr Schue," smiled Rachel
"We've got some news though," said Finn "But we want to tell everyone. So we'll wait until we get to the Choir room."
"Sounds good," replied Will
"Where are the kids?" asked Emma
"They are off with Kurt, Blaine, and Brittany," replied Will "There was a bit of an incident in here before."
"I thought we were over incidences," said Finn
"So did I,"
"What was it over?" asked Rachel
"Well it's a long story," replied Will "I should really let Tina explain."
"Go on, Mr Shue... Tell us," pleaded Rachel "Please, please,"
"Okay," said Will leaning in "It seems that Tina was with Puck 10 years ago when he first began drinking, and they ended up sleeping together."
"No way," said Finn shocked "Puckerman and Tina? No way."
"Yes," said Will "It is true."
"Wow, that is big."
"That's not all. She became pregnant but never told Puck, but she tried, but each time she came back to speak with him, he was always drunk or drinking, and so she could never bring herself to tell him until before."
Bot Finn and Rachel looked shocked, but Emma didn't. Will looked at her.
"You don't seem shocked by that?"
"No," replied Emma "It was confidential, so I couldn't say anything... She spoke about it in her counseling sessions."
"How's Noah taking the news?" asked Rachel
"Quite well actually," said Will "Even Quinn was calm about it."
"Mummy," came Isobel's voice
Isobel came running up to the table, followed by Joseph and Daniel
"Hi Uncle Finn," smiled Daniel
"Hi Danny Boy," smiled Finn back and fist bumping him
"Have you guys had breakfast yet?" asked Emma
"Yea, they did," said Kurt walking up "We fed them in the lounge."
"The incident at the time," replied Will to Emma "was about to happen, so I asked the kids to go with Kurt, Blaine, and Brittany. I didn't want them around the anger."
"Good thinking," smiled Emma
"Hi Aunty Rachel," smiled Isobel
"Hi Issy," said Rachel back
Isobel hugged Rachel, and Rachel suddenly looked pale again.
"Are you okay Rach?" asked Kurt
Rachel nodded quickly. Isobel lent her head into Rachel's stomach
"Shall we go kids?" said Emma looking at Rachel who looked uncomfortable. "Get you guys to school."
The boys groaned, while Isobel just giggled and whispered into Rachel's ear.
"Are you happy Aunty Rachel? Baby coming?"
Rachel smiled and giggled back.
Emma stood up "Come on kids, say bye to Dad, and to everyone else."
"Bye Dad," said all three of the kids together "Bye Uncle Finn, bye Aunty Rachel, bye Uncle Kurt."
"Bye guys," said Will, Finn, Rachel and Kurt all together
Emma held out her hand for Isobel to take, which she did, and along with Daniel, and Joseph, walked out of the room.
Kurt sat down in Emma's place.
"So what was the news that I missed out on?"
Will smiled, as Finn moved his chair closer to Rachel, and started to rub her back.
"What's going with you two?" asked Kurt
Rachel looked at Finn "Maybe we should tell Kurt, he is your brother, and Mr Schue is like family?"
"It's okay if you want to keep it secret," smiled Will getting up "Until you get to the Choir Room. I like secrets."
Will smiled and walked off.
Kurt leaned in "So what's the secret?"
Finn looked at Rachel, and nodded.
"We're pregnant," whispered Rachel
Kurt smiled "No... way,"
"Don't tell anyone little bro, we're going to announce it in the Choir Room," said Finn
"Congratulations," said Kurt leaning over the table and giving Rachel a hug.

Artie was in the games room on one of the computer games. Kitty was sitting beside him, waiting for him to talk to her. He had immersed himself totally in the game. Suddenly Tina walked up.
"Kitty, may I please have a word with Artie, in private?"
Kitty looked up "You've got a nerve to be here Cohen-Chang."
"Like I said Kitty, I would like to talk to Artie."
"I don't think he wants to talk to you anyway," snarled Kitty
"All I want is 5 minutes... please... Kitty... just 5 minutes,"
"You've done enough damage, go away."
"Let her stay," said Artie all of a sudden "5 minutes."
"Are you sure that's wise?" asked Kitty
"Yes."
Kitty shook her head and stood up. She went face to face with Tina.
"I'll meet you the Choir room, Kitty," said Artie still looking at his game
Kitty stared at Tina for another couple of seconds before walking away. Tina watched her go. For a second Kitty stood by the door and looked back, but then left as Tina was watching her.
With Kitty gone, Tina sat down on the vacant chair next to Artie.
"I'm so sorry, Artie," started Tina
Artie put up his hand to stop Tina from talking which she did. He paused his game, but continued to look at the television.
"I understand that I had an obligation to tell you what happened that night, but I couldn't..." said Artie "I was too embarrassed, and too hurt. I am sorry for that. But you knowing and didn't say anything makes it worse.
"But what hurts more is, you sleeping with Puck, whether it was an accident, or on purpose."
"It was an accident," said Tina quietly
"I don't care," said Artie "I loved you Tina, I did. But you doing what you did, has killed me inside. I wish I could say I never want to see you again, or I wish I could leave, but I can't. I signed that contract, and I can't leave my friends empty handed."
"I couldn't tell you because I didn't want to hurt you," said Tina
"No... You didn't want Puck finding out first, you were just thinking of yourself... As usual."
"That's not fair," said Tina
"Isn't it? Well I mean every word."
"I know you Artie, no you don't."
"You don't know me," argued Artie "Not since what happened, happened. It changed me, yet you didn't care."
"I care now."
"Bullshit you do. You say that but I know you don't."
"How do you know that I don't care?" asked Tina "I do."
"Your 5 minutes is up," said Artie "Please leave."
"But Artie..."
"I SAID LEAVE," yelled Artie "I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU EVER AGAIN."
"Okay, I'm going," said Tina getting up with tears in her eyes.
Tina walked off, Artie turned around.
"Tina, wait."
Tina stopped, and bowed her head.
"What?"
"I'm sorry for what I said. I'm angry, and devastated, at you you did to betray me, along with the fact of what happened to me 10 years ago. It didn't help."
"I hope you can forgive me, in time," said Tina still with her back to Artie
"I hope so too, I still care for you."
"But you're with Kitty now, it's not fair that you have feelings for two different people."
"I don't," replied Artie "I said I still care for you, but that's all it is... caring. I'm with Kitty now. I will forgive you in time."
"Thanks," said Tina, half sarcastically and half in reality
Tina continued on out of the room, followed by Artie a few minutes later.

8 a.m. came, and everyone piled into the Choir Room, and took their seats. Michael also walked in, and sat at the side. Will walked to the front of the room.
"Welcome to our new week. We're now 3 months away from the start of the Worlds, and in about another month we should know our competitors for Sectionals. We should also welcome back our benefactor, Mr Michael Baxter."
Everyone clapped. Michael smiled.
"How long are you back for?" asked Will
"A least few days," replied Michael
"That's cool," said Will "You'll be able to see how far we've come in the last few weeks since you were here last."
"I'm looking forward to it," smiled Michael
"Okay, let's get into it," said Will "But before I ask for volunteers on who would like to sing a song, and then we get to Mercedes to sing her solo, and then the first group song, I understand that Finn, and Rachel have something that they would like to share. The floor is yours, Finn and Rachel."
Will went and sat down, Finn and Rachel walked to the front of the room. Rachel walked in front of Finn, and Finn put his arms around her.
"First of all," started Finn "As co-captain I want to echo Mr Schue, and welcome back Mr Baxter. It's been very strange not seeing you around these last few weeks, but Mr Steele, your second in command, has certainly been a colorful replacement."
"Thanks for that Mr Hudson," smiled Michael "You're always a great leader."
Finn smiled, and Rachel looked up at him. He looked down at her. She could always tell how much in love he was with her as she could feel his bulge in his pants as it was pressing up against her backside.
"You can announce it," smiled Rachel
"Announce what?" asked Mercedes
"I'll do better than just announce it," said Finn guiding Rachel over to a spare seat nearest the piano.
Finn walked over to the band, and whispered to them what song he wanted to sing.
"Oh god, he's going to sing," smiled Santana
Finn walked back to the middle of the room, and looked at Rachel. Then he looked at everyone else, and nodded his head towards the band.
They began playing, and then he began to sing.
.
FINN: "What is this news you got to tell me
Girl what has got you so excited
Why would you call me on my job
When I'm right in the middle of writing
See you got this look upon your face
Spit it out girl i just cannot wait
To get whatever it is up out of you
So tell me girl..what it do
.
"I'll give you a hint
It crawls before it walks
In a couple of years it begins to talk
And it makes us so happy
Girl are you telling me.
.
"I'm having a baby
Ooh, I'm so happy
I'm having a baby
And I'm so glad to be that baby's daddy
I'm having a baby
A little girl, a little boy, a little you, a little me
I'm having a baby
Girl it doesn't matter, as long as its healthy."
.
Everyone started looking at everyone else trying to decipher the meaning of the song.
.
FINN: "Wow! i cant believe I'm going to be a father
In nine months a child will be born
Baby you're pregnant in April
Which means we're having a Capricorn
I'm so glad to be apart of this
Cuz girl a child is heaven sent
This is a blessing to me
To have you build my seed
"I'm having a baby
Ooh, I'm so happy
I'm having a baby
And I'm so glad to be that baby's daddy
I'm having a baby
A little girl, a little boy, a little you, a little me
I'm having a baby
Girl it doesn't matter, as long as its healthy."
.
Towards the finish, Santana, Brittany, Quinn, Mercedes, Tina, Kurt, Blaine, Michael and Will were all smiling. They had all figured it out. In fact Mercdes got up, and walked over to Rachel as Finn was about to finish his song, and gave her a hug.
.
FINN: "Girl you got me staring at you from head to toe
When i look at you its like you got this glow
So much respect, i have for you, girl since you told, me the good news
Ever since you told me you love me more
Girl what i feel is so spiritual
And baby our lives has been changed
Now i want you to have my.. last name
.
"I'm having a baby
Girl I'm so glad
I'm having a baby
And I'm so proud to be that baby's daddy
I'm having a baby
Said a little boy, a little girl, a little you, a little me
I'm having a baby
Girl it doesn't matter, and now here it is 9 months later
I'm having a baby
Push
I want you to, push
I need you to, push
Come on baby, push

.
"Push,push,push,push

Baby push, push

Push

Push, push

Thank you God, push
Hold him baby, push

.
Finn finished his song, and smiled proudly at his friends.
"So judging on the topic of that song," said Santana "Are we to assume that Rachel is pregnant?"
"Yes," replied Rachel "We found out officially about an hour ago."
Everyone started clapping then went and gave Rachel a huge hug, and gave Finn one too.
