Chapter 11

For the rest of the week, Finn couldn't stop sharing stories about what it would be like to be back at work and although this made his wife happy, she couldn't help but feel a little sad considering she hadn't been working for almost 3 months.

"So Rachel, how has your day been?" Finn asked, swallowing a piece of chicken. "Honestly it was pretty boring. I didn't do much so…" Rachel finished her sentence by putting a piece of tofu into her mouth.

"Baby, is something wrong? You look like you've been upset all day? Is there anything you wanted to talk to me about?" Finn asked, putting his hand on her arm to prevent her from putting more food in her mouth. "Honey, come on you know you can talk to me."

Rachel looked up from her plate and wiped the lone tear that had started rolling down her check. "I just don't feel well. I think I'm going to go lie down. I'll clean up later." Rachel stood up.

"Baby, don't be crazy, I'll clean up. Is there anything else you want me to do for you? Do you want me to make you tea?" Finn asked holding her hand. He could tell by the way she stood up that she wasn't well. Her face had gone pale and she looked completely out of it.

"No babe I'm fine. I just need to lie down; I think I might be getting lightheaded." Rachel said, moving her hand and placing it over her face. Before she could do anything else, Finn had picked her up bridal style and carried her to the bedroom.

Once he got there, he pulled back the covers and laid her down. He bent over and kissed her forehead. She sat back up and took off her tank top as well as her shorts.

"Baby, are you more comfortable?" He asked rubbing her hand.

"Yes a little bit. I really just have a massive headache, nothing a little rest can't fix." Rachel tried to laugh off the situation.

"Ok, well I'll make you some tea but anything else, please let me know. I'll be right in the kitchen if you need anything." Finn said kissing her forehead once more.

About 15 minutes later, Finn walked in the room with tea and medication for Rachel's headache. When he pushed open the door, he noticed that she was fast asleep in the bed. He left the tea on the bed side table and left the room.

He planted himself on the couch with a bottle of beer in his hand and turned on the TV. He hadn't noticed but he fell asleep for about two hours. When he woke up he heard this strange noise coming from the bedroom.

He sat up and walked into his bedroom only to see that his wife was not in bed. He turned around and saw the light on in the bathroom. He knocked on the door and opened it slowly only to have his stomach drop at the sight before him.

"Rach, baby are you ok?" Finn asked as he rushed over to her side. Rachel was sitting on the ground and vomiting into the toilet. Finn held her hair back and rubbed her back with his other hand. He hated seeing his wife in pain.

Once she stopped throwing up, she turned her head over to her husband. That was when he noticed that his wife was crying. "Oh baby its ok, the worst is over now!" he said holding his wife from behind.

"No it's not, I'm in so much pain right now and my head is still killing me. There is nothing left in me so whatever comes out is very painful!" Rachel cried. He helped Rachel up and gave her a tooth brush.

"Baby brush your teeth I'm going to get you some more medication." Finn said as he rushed out of the room.

He gave her some gravol and a glass of water once she was back in the bed. Unfortunately, the medication didn't work and within the next ten minutes, Rachel was back in the washroom throwing up.

This continued throughout the night and Finn was heartbroken seeing his wife like this. It was hard for Finn to get up in the morning but he somehow managed. His face lightened when he saw his wife in a peaceful slumber.

It had been a very long day and it didn't help that half of his students didn't know how to play their instruments.

"Hey, Finn." Said Josh, he was one of his co-workers and one of Finn's closest friends other than the glee club clan.

"Hey Josh, what's going on?" Finn asked, making room for Josh to sit down at the table.

"Nothing much. I started off being so happy that we get to come back to work and now I can't wait for it to be over." Josh said, answering Finn's question.

"I know exactly what you mean. Life in general seems to be tough right now. I'm just so tired," Finn stated.

"Well what's going on with you? You used to love being here and now all of a sudden you're agreeing with me? You must be really tired."

"Rachel and I have been trying for a baby throughout the summer but then we had that car accident and the doctors told her it would be harder for her to get pregnant. Now she isn't feeling well and is putting the blame on herself." Finn said blankly.

"Wow, that must be a lot to deal with! Why didn't you tell me about the accident before?" Josh asked.

"I didn't think it mattered, and to be honest, I didn't really want people knowing." Finn said. "But it doesn't matter anymore."

"Maybe you should go home early." Josh stated.

"No, I think I'll manage three more hours." Finn said.

By the time Finn got home, he found his wife lying on their bed. "Hey honey, what's wrong?" Finn asked.

"Nothing but I managed to book an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow, just to see what's wrong with me." Rachel said.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Did you want me to go with you?" Finn asked sitting beside her on the bed.

"No I'm ok, I booked it while you're at school anyways." Rachel said.

"Alright baby. But just remember, everything is going to be ok, no matter what!"
