Chapter 23: Regionals Part 3

Hey everyone! Sorry for not uploading in a while. My classes at college started and I have been busy with homework. Also my laptop charger broke, so I had to order a new one and wait for it to arrive. I am back though! I hope you enjoy this chapter! I do not own Glee!

Rachel's POV:

It's the morning of Regionals. We have to be at the auditorium at 10am. We are on last and go on at 1pm. I woke up and ran straight into the bathroom to throw up. Someone came behind me to hold my hair back and rubbed circles around my back. I felt like I was throwing up for five minutes. I stopped and turn around. The person behind me was Mercedes.

"Sorry. I am so nervous." I admitted.

"Did Rachel Berry just say she was nervous?" Mercedes asked with a smile.

"I did. I am so nervous that I will run off the stage and throw up because people will stare at me since I am pregnant. I don't know if I can do this." I explained and started to panic.

"You will do great. It's going to be okay. Breath girl." Mercedes said with a panic.

"Is everything okay?" Tina asked entering the bathroom.

"She just started panicking saying that she is going to screw up. Go and get Puck and Mr. Shuester. I don't know what to do." Mercedes said in a panic. I heard people running and then I felt arms wrapped around me. I looked up and saw Noah and Mr. Shuester along with the rest of the club.

"Babe it's okay. We are going to do great." Noah said.

"What if I mess up?" I questioned. I saw everyone stare at me and put my head into Noah's chest. He rubbed circles around me.

"Can you guys give us a minute please? I will make sure she is okay." Noah said.

"Okay. Meet us in the lobby." Mr. Shuester said. Noah nodded. I heard them walk away.

"Hey. Rach look at me." Noah said. I looked at him and saw that he was worried.

"What?" I whispered.

"We are going to do great. We are going to give it all we got. No one is going to judge you and if they do screw them. I won't let anything bad happen to you. If we don't win, which I know we will, then we gave it all we got. I love you and we are going to be okay." Noah said. I smiled.

"I am sorry. I think it's the hormones. You're right. We will win this and if we don't then it's there loss. Let's get ready to kick some butt!" I yelled. He laughed and leaned down to kiss me, but I pushed away. He looked at me.

"What?" he asked.

"I love you too, but I just threw up and my breath smells. I don't want you to kiss me when I smell like this." I said.

"I don't care." he said. He leaned down and kissed me. I got up and brushed my teeth. I changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt. I grabbed the costume, and my makeup. We then headed downstairs and met everyone.

"Sorry about that guys. We are going to kick some butt! Let's go!" I yelled. Everyone laughed and clapped. We headed onto the bus. Once we got to the auditorium, we signed in and headed into the dressing room. We got ready by doing our makeup. All the girls wore a Smokey eye. Our hair was curled. The costumes were wearing a purple dress that went up to there knees. The guys wore black suites. (A/N: The costume is from Season 4 during there Regionals Performance)

"Alright everyone! Let's go sit down and watch the competition!" Mr. Shuester exclaimed. We went to take our seats. I sat down next to Noah and Mercedes.

"You look beautiful by the way." Noah whispered in my ear. I blushed.

"Thank you. You don't look half that bad as well." I whispered back. He smirked and kissed my cheek.

'Thank you." Noah said.

"Anytime." I replied.

"Alright everyone. Welcome to the 2014 show choir competition! Let's give it up for The Dalton Academy Warblers!" the announcer stated. The guys headed onstage. The first song that they sang was "Whistle". They were really good. Then the second song they sang was "Live While We're Young". They were amazing. I looked at Noah and he squeezed my hand. Once they were finished, their was an a lot of applause.

The next team was Vocal Adrenaline. I am glad that Jesse wasn't there. The songs they sang were "Pinball Wizard" and "Starships". They were amazing. I think the girl was a guy. It was intermission and we headed backstage. It was 12:45 and we go on in 15 minutes.

"Alright guys let's do our show circle!" Mr. Shuester clapped. We all got into a circle.

"Alright everyone. We worked so hard. Whatever happens out there, I know that you gave it your all. Now let's go out there and win this thing! On three!" Mr. Shuester said. We all put our hands in and said amazing. We walked to the stage.

"You are going to do great. I love you." Noah said.

" Thanks. You are going to do great as well. I love you too." I said. We kissed and headed into our place. Noah was on one side of the stage and I was on the other side. We began walking out and singing.

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now.
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now.
Oh whoa
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Well I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.

Noah and I were now in front of each other and stared into each others eyes. The rest of the club got on stage and "Born This Way" came on.

It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far
Listen to me when I say

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice of truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Don't be drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient

Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way

No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive

No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made

I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set

Everyone clapped. We bowed and headed off stage. We went into or green room.

"That was great everyone! I know for a fact that we are going to win!" Mr. Shuester explained. The baby kicked and I jumped. Noah looked at me.

"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"The baby kicked!" I yelled. Everyone stood around me. Noah placed his hands on my belly and the baby kicked again.

"Oh my! That's amazing!" he announced. We kissed. Everyone felt the baby. We were now all called back onstage to announce the winners. We all held our hands.

"Alright everyone here did an amazing job! Now let's get on with who won shall we?" she said.

"In third place. The Dalton Academy Warblers!" she said. They cheered and we clapped. They handed them the trophy.

"Now in first place. From William McKinley High, The New Directions!" she cheered. We won! Oh my! We screamed and hugged each other. I kissed Noah passionately. Mr. Shuester got the trophy and shook hands with the other coaches. We ran off the stage and into the green room.

"Everyone that was amazing! We beat Vocal Adrenaline! Now we can celebrate!" Mr. Sheuster exclaimed. We cheered and headed back to the hotel. We celebrated by going out to dinner and then we blasted music in our room and had a fun night. When we get back, we are getting ready for Nationals!

I hope everyone enjoyed this! Please let me know what you think about it! Thanks! REVIEW!
