Rachel took a deep breath and decided to stop beating around the bush
"I-I'm Pregnant!"
BREAK POINT
Everyone's faces turned to Shock. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. Rachel Fricking Berry got Knocked Up! Who Would have guessed?
Kurt slowly collapsed into the armchair, his mouth gaping wide open. Blaine rushed over to comfort him .
Quinn, Santana and Brittany looked somewhat horrified yet Rachel could see the Slight Joy on Brittany's face.
Mercedes, Tina and Lauren joined Kurt and Blaine by the armchair and just continually stared at Rachel.
Sam, Mike, Puck, Artie and Matt. were the ones who just didn't say or do anything. Their faces basically had no expression. And Puck sort of did his '2010 sectionals' face.
Mr Schuester, Miss Holliday, Miss Pillsbury, Coach Sylvester, Coach Beiste (Finn told Kurt to invite all the teachers) just stood there looking at the glee kids.
And Finally there was Finn. All the colour had drained from his face and he sort of looked very ghost like. He couldn't manage to get words out.
A couple of minutes later and his legs finally gave way and he dropped onto his knees. Everyone gathered round him and Rachel came to comfort him. She kneeled down to his level (for a change) and embraced him in a hug. She moved her lips closer to his ear and whispered "We need to talk".
The silence in the room was soon broken by a certain Latina's voice
"So Treasure Trail, who's is it?"
"Why do you wanna know?" snapped Rachel
" Oh come on Berry, who's the father. We're gonna find out eventually."
"I'm not gonna tell anyone until I tell the father!"
"When are you gonna tell the father?"
"WHY IS THIS SUCH A BIG FRICKING DEAL?" shouted Rachel getting frustrated at all the persistent questions.
"Because we care about you Rachel! We just want to know that the father isn't gonna be a Deadbeat or someone who is gonna walk out on you." Said Kurt.
Eventually Rachel had enough and caved.
"Fine – you wanna know who the father is? I'll tell you who the father is! He has the Initials F.H and I have known him since High school! He is the only guy I have ever slept with and We were High School Sweethearts! THAT ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR YOU LOPEZ?"
Before anyone else could respond, everything in Finn's head just clicked!
"Me? I-you-we-us-how-when-who-what-where?" stuttered Finn
"Two weeks ago! After our date! You came back to my apartment remember?"
Finn smiled. He remembered it well and clear. It was the best night of his life. NO! Scratch that! This was the best night of his life. The woman he was in love with was carrying his baby. How could this get any better?...oh crap – his surprise!
Finn walked up to the stage and took the microphone off the stand. He cleared his throat and everyone turned to look at him
"Well – as Rachel already established she's carrying my baby that makes my announcement a whole lot easier."
Finn pressed play on the CD and "Marry You" by Bruno Mars started Playing.
Finn reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet box with a gold star on it. He signalled Rachel to come up onto the stage and she did so.
"Rachel – I did have a whole speech planned but I just can't wait to do this any longer. I think I can include the speech in my wedding vows." (Wink Wink)
He Bent down on one knee and opened the box. It revealed at gold plated engagement ring with a diamond star on the top. Everyone gasped.
"Rach– for the love of Grilled Cheesus – please say that you'll Marry Me!"
He gently took her hand and brought it up to his lips and kissed it. He took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her finger! She giggled.
The room fell silent and waited for Rachel's response.
"Y-y-yes! Of course I'll marry you!"
Finn got up and gently placed his lips to hers. They kissed for quite a while until the got covered in Champagne.
"HERE'S TO THE TO-BE PARENTS AND MARRIED COUPLE" screamed Kurt pouring everyone a glass of champagne (from what was left…luckily Kurt bought nine more bottles – talk about overboard).
Everyone gathered around Rachel and Finn (including the teachers) and they engaged in many happy conversations.
Finn guided Rachel up the stairs to his apartment. He unlocked the door and took of the blindfold. She looked around the apartment at the beautifully decorated rooms. She could tell that Kurt had helped him decorate the place. He took her through the family room, through the den to a room at the back. It had a gold star on the door. Rachel looked at Finn puzzled. She still couldnt process everything that had happened over the last couple of days. She could just about process the fact that Finn was holding her hand.
Finn opened the door to reveal a large king size bed with an en-suite. The walls were painted in Purple and the chester drawers had handles in the shape of gold stars.
"Finn? w-whats going on?"
"Move in with me!"
"W-What?"
"You heard me. Move in with me. Here. I made sure there was enough room for you until we buy the house."
"W-we're buying a house?"
"Of course! how else are we gonna have enough room to raise a kid? and besides I prefer houses to apartments. They're more comfortable and family like"
"H-how long have you been thinking about all this?"
"A couple months..."
"R-really? and how long is a couple months?"
"Since high school"
A smile grew on Rachel's face and she tiptoed up to his level and kissed him passionatley. He reciprocated the kiss, and after finally breakign apart to gain oxygen he smiled
"What was that for?"
"Being Mine!"
"I'll always be yours Rach!"
He pulled her into a warm embrace and sighed in relief.
Maybe this time HE Got it right
Maybe this time SHE got it right
Maybe This Time THEY got it right.
