Chapter 4

Very short chapter I am so sorry! I had no idea what to write after a certain point so I apologize. Please review even if you hate it I still don't have many reviews and it makes me kind of sad. Any comments are welcome.

Finn was sitting in a hospital room bed and staring blankly at the nurse in front of him. Finn couldn't believe the words the nurse had just said to him. What had happened to Rachel? Was she alright? Or worse, dead? Finn didn't even want to think of that.

"Finn would you like to see her first or do you want to me to tell you about what's going on?" the Nurse asked him.

"Can you tell me what happened? I remember being by what I think was a vehicle, and that's the last thing I remember." Finn said panicking.

"Well you should know that your wife is going to live but we weren't able to do anything about the fetus. It was only, from what we got, around three weeks, therefore it never would have stood a chance. I'm so sorry. But she has minor head injuries but a thing that I think is probably the worst thing about this accident is that Mrs. Hudson now has a fractured pelvis. There isn't really anything we can do to fix it but it will be about 4 week to 6 and weeks of bed rest and it will get back to normal. Unfortunately it will put the chances of her carrying another child at risk. She might not be able to carry the child. It may not affect her at all when you guys have children but I just want you know the risk." The nurse said walking closer to him.

"As for you, a broken arm and a few stitches." She said but Finn was still in shock. "Can I see her, please?" Finn asked, swallowing a huge lump in his throat.

The Nurse helped him out of the bed and they walked together to Rachel's room. When he walked in, he saw his wife attached to many machines to monitor her heart rate. He immediately started crying as he ran over to her. "Rachel, please wake up. Please squeeze my hands if you can hear me." Finn said kissing her hands. "According to these files she should be up soon but until then, it is out of our hands." The nurse said leaving the room to give them some space.

"Oh my gosh Finn what happened? We got a call from the hospital saying that you guys were in a car accident! Are you both okay?" Carol asked her son with Burt walking in behind her.

"Mom it was an accident. I don't even know where the car came from, but Rachel has a broken pelvis and it's my entire fault. She's been out for about 2 hours and they don't know when she will wake up. The worst part mom was that…" Finn paused taking a deep breath. "She was pregnant. She lost the baby and the thing is that a few days ago we had actually started trying for a baby but she must have already been pregnant and when she finds out she is going to be devastated." Finn said crying into his mother's shoulder. Burt came up behind him and put his hand on his back.

"Finn, everything is going to be alright. She's going to be okay you know that." He said.

Rachel started to stir in the bed and her hand clenched shut. "We will leave you too alone it looks like she's going to wake up soon." Carol said to Finn as she grabbed Burt's hand and left the room.

Rachel then opened her eyes and immediately knew where she was once she saw all the machines hooked up to her body. Her first instinct was to panic.

"Finn oh my god we could have died. Are you ok? What happened? I'm in so much pain! Oh my god the baby! Finn did I lose the baby? Is it gone? I'm so sorry Finn I didn't mean too. It's all my fault I shouldn't have been so stupid! Please don't leave me! It was an accident, I didn't mean for this to happen!" Rachel cried. She was unable to stop crying and was stressing over the situation. The machines she was hooked up to were starting to make beeping sounds, alerting her stress. He was rubbing her hand with his like he had been doing earlier.

"Honey, it is absolutely not your fault. You had no control over the matter! You do however need to calm down, they are monitoring your stress and it's not good for you. You did fracture your pelvis but the doctor will come and talk to you about that later. That is what the pain is." Finn said but then realized something, how did Rachel know about the baby? "Rachel, how did you know about the baby?" Finn asked.

Rachel had forgotten that she didn't tell him. "Finn I took a pregnancy test a few days back. I was planning on telling you once we got back to the house but then this happened. I wanted to tell you and I was going to so please don't be mad." Rachel said closing her eyes, fearing what Finn would say or do next.

"I just can't believe you wouldn't have told me as soon as you found out! I mean you give me this lecture about how you want to start trying then you find out and have me believe that we are still trying even though you are already pregnant." Finn yelled, he felt bad for yelling but he was just so angry and he didn't even know why. It wasn't like she was never going to tell him she planned to. He couldn't stay in the room if all he was going to do was yell at his helpless wife, so he walked out to his parents leaving a frightened and hurt Rachel behind. He walked out to his mom and Burt and explained his situation.

"Why are you getting so upset about this Finn? She was going to tell you. It's not like she was keeping it from you for wrong reasons. She just wanted to do something special when she told you." Carol said. "It's just that with the fractured pelvis, it's going to be harder for her body to keep another baby in there. I guess a part of me is mad because that could have been our last shot at having a baby." Finn said quite upset.

"You know Finn, Kurt's mom and I went through something similar. You just need to support her throughout it all because if not she's going to actually believe it is all her fault and that is not good. Don't forget that she is going through a tougher time than you. She is the one who is suffering with all the pain and her body may never be the same." Burt said to him. "I think you should go back in there and apologize, comfort her and let her know that you are there for her. She needs you right now." Carol said.

Finn got up and walked back to the room. Rachel was fiddling with her fingers but once she saw him she stopped. Fear came across her face again and her breathing became uneven again.

"Rachel I am so sorry for saying those things. I didn't mean them; you are the one I should be worrying about. You have a broken pelvis; I need to be there for you. I should have just dropped it. I'm sorry." Finn noticed Rachel started crying. "Rachel what's wrong?" "I'm in so much pain, can you get me a doctor. Ah it hurts so much! Finn please help me!" Rachel screamed out in pain. As soon as Finn stood up, the nurse came into the room. "Mrs. Hudson how much pain are you in?" she asked her. "I'm in a lot of pain. It hurts so much, I can't even sit up. It hurts whenever I move around." Rachel answered, squirming around on the hospital bed but it was too uncomfortable for her.

"We have some pain meds that we can give you, but you are still going to be in a lot of pain. Let me go grab them." The nurse said before exiting the room. Rachel was holding Finn's hand and took the meds once the nurse came back. She explained everything to Rachel and gave her specific instructions. A few hours later Rachel attempted to fall asleep but she was experiencing too much discomfort. Carol and Burt came into the room to try and cheer her up a little bit later but nothing seemed to be working.

There was a big problem though that no one but Rachel thought of. How was she supposed to get back home to New York?

"We have a tiny problem, my wife and I live in New York we were only here visiting for a week but how is Rachel supposed to get home if she is stuck on bed rest for the next month and a half?" Finn asked the nurse.

"I would suggest that she stays here in Lima for about a week and a half or until she can walk a little bit. Now did you guys drive here or did you fly?" the nurse asked them. "We flew." Finn said "Ok so you might want to either consider staying here longer or driving back home when she is able to leave. I say this because she may be uncomfortable being on a plane with such small place, if you drove there are many stops on the highway that allow you to stretch out or in your case lay down on your back and not hurt your pelvis more than need be." The nurse said to Rachel.

"Ok thank you. I guess we will see how things play out in the next 2 weeks or so." Finn said.

The nurse once again left the room after telling Rachel that they will perform some scans and x-rays on her to see how long until she may be able to put pressure on her body.

The next few days were boring for them but they were in for a shock at how fast the news about their little accident could travel so fast.
