AUTHOR'S NOTE: Well here it is the final chapter. I know alot of you wanted me to continue and maybe I will think about writing a sequel but as of right now I feel this is a proper ending. I have some many other projects I want to get started on and I feel so accomplished that I was able to finish this (Granted it took awhile) but none the less I stuck with it and can now be satisfied with it.
Thank you all sooo much for your kind words and encouragements. I appreciate it immensely. My next fic will be a Puckleberry One Shot (I will e-mail it to those who were interested) followed by a Samchel One Shot and then I will be back with some more Finchel! Until then... Thank you and enjoy!
~GLEE~
Rachel was a nervous wreck as she waited with Finn outside the door leading to the auditorium. This was it; if they didn't place here glee club would be over. She looked to Finn and smiled as he walked up to her, "Break a leg"
"I love you"
Rachel was shocked, he had never said that to her and before she had time to respond he was back to his position and the beginning of "Faithfully" started. They knocked it out of the park. Finn and her were so in tune she wondered if he had planned it that way so the song would have an even deeper meaning. She would have to ask him later.
Once they finished their Journey medley Rachel felt her nerves return to normal from the adrenaline rush and that's when she felt the liquid run down her leg, "Oh God!"
Finn looked back at her as she clutched the wall, "Rach, what's wrong?"
Rachel felt the tears drip down her face as she held her stomach, "My water just broke!"
As soon as those words left her lips pandemonium erupted as they frantically retrieved Mr. Shue and Rachel's fathers from the audience and rushed Rachel to the hospital. Rachel was admitted immediately and wheeled to the delivery room as the contractions came hard and strong consistently.
Her fathers waited in the waiting room at Rachel's insistence while Finn and Quinn accompanied her to the delivery room. Rachel knew child birth would be painful but no one could have prepared her for just how bad it really was.
She almost wished she could have had an epidural as she shouted at Finn, "I hate you! Don't you ever touch me again!"
Finn felt completely helpless as Quinn put a reassuring hand on his arm, "She doesn't mean it, she just in a lot of pain"
Finn nodded, "I know I just wish there was something I could do for her"
"You have done enough Finn Hudson!"
Quinn chuckled, "Just hold her hand and be there for her"
Finn sighed and grabbed Rachel's hand, "I love you so much Rach, you were amazing on stage today and you are even more amazing right now. You can do this"
Rachel calmed down slightly as she gave him a weak smile before the doctor told her it was time to push. Pushing her daughter into the world was the hardest thing she had ever done in her 16 years. But as soon as she was out and Rachel heard her strong lungs wail out it was all worth it.
The nurses wiped her off a little and placed her in Rachel's arms as she, Finn and Quinn cried in happiness, "Look at her, she is so beautiful. I can't believe she's actually real"
Finn kissed her forehead as well as his daughter's while Quinn went to deliver the good news. Rachel could not tear her eyes from her precious baby and she knew she was hooked, "I can't give her away Finn; it would kill me"
Finn looked at her shocked, "What?"
"She is ours Finn half you and half me, I love her so much and I want to keep her. I want us to be a family… I love you Finn"
Finn was very happy as he kissed her lips passionately, "I love you too Rach and our daughter. There is nothing I would like more than to be a family"
Rachel smiled happily as he climbed in bed next to her wrapping his arms around her and the baby, "I guess this means we need to give her a name"
Rachel nodded, "What do you think of Elizabeth Maria Hudson?"
Finn gave her a crooked grin, "I love it"
The club did not place at Regionals and of course Finn and Rachel were upset but they could not bring themselves to be sad when they were ecstatically happy with Elizabeth.
