Bear with me now (: I promise I haven't stopped writing 'Never Let Me Go'. However this was just so perfect I couldn't pass it up.
I watched 'The Back-up Plan' last night with a few of my friends and for some reason the idea just hit me. 'This could totally work as a Faberry story' I'm aware of the fact that there are loads of pregnant Quinn and Rachel stories, but I thought it'd be nice to maybe try my hand in it.
I'm still definitely going to continue NLMG, but I really wanted to do this.
Based almost entirely on the movie, of course some dialogue and instances will be changed.
Disclaimer; I don't own Glee or the characters, I don't own any rights to the show or the movie The Back-up Plan.
It's AU and very much out of high school. The character *almost* don't even act like they do in glee so don't hate lol
Plan B
'I can't believe I didn't get a pedicure for this. How embarrassing. Look at that.' She curls her toes in and out, looking at the chipped nail polish, 'If I were with a real guy doing this I would've gotten a pedicure…and a wax.'
She looks over to her other foot and, 'Oh shit! That one's worse!' It's even more chipped than the other one.
"Sorry I didn't get a pedicure." She says out loud finally.
Dr. Morrison sits up straight with the light on his head flashing straight at her, "What?"
Apologetically, and squinting to keep the light out of her eyes, "My toes…sorry."
Jovially Dr. Morrison says, "I'm not looking at your toes, I'm looking at your cervix."
"Right, of course…Now I kinda wish you were looking at my toes." She lays back down on the chair.
Dr. Morrison then stands and pulls off his gloves and smiles at her, "There. All done."
The surprise is evident in her voice, "That's it?"
Setting the timer he then presses a button and lifts the chair up and tilts it backwards as he nods, "We'll elevate your legs for ten minutes and then you're good to go."
As she's being lifted and tilted backwards, "This is the first time I hear a ticking clock sound and it's not freaking me out."
The doctor smiles at her supportively, "Good, just relax."
Sitting up she shakes her head frantically, "I cant! I'm freaking out!"
The doctor shakes his head, "Come on, everything's gonna be great! I have a feeling that you and uh…" He grabs the empty syringe from the side cart, "CRM-1014 are going to make beautiful babies together."
He pats her foot and starts to walk out of the room.
Calling after him she lets out a slightly higher pitched "Thank you" than she would have liked.
As she hears the door close, she lifts her legs even higher and holds down the hospital gown they've given her, 'Oh God I hope this works. I've wanted this for so long.' She shrugs, 'Okay maybe this wasn't how I pictured it, exactly…I thought I'd have a little more support."
Flashback to Santana's house.
"NO! You don't want kids! Trust me!" The Latina takes out the insides of a chicken preparing dinner, while Rachel is sitting beside her at the table.
The shorter brunette shakes her head, "That's easy for you to say, you have four."
Dramatically, "And it's awful!"
Just then three young children run through the kitchen and a beat later a toddler runs after them screaming.
"They've ruined my life." Santana says while looking the brunette dead in the eyes.
Chuckling, Rachel shakes her head, "Oh come on San."
The kids come running back and grab the toys that are in the corner of the kitchen, "Kids come on mommy's cooking, go away!"
Santana turns to Rachel, "Have you seen my vagina? Cuz I will show it to you. I will show it, to you, just to prove to you that you don't wanna have kids. I will show it to you. I will show you, my vagina." She says the last part while indicating her crotch with her hand while grabbing a laundry basket.
Shaking her head, "I don't wanna see that. I wanna have a baby."
"I just think you're tired of being alone. You haven't met the right guy."
Incredulously, "It's not about a guy. This isn't about a guy. I don't even think I want a
guy at this point. I've dated hundreds of guys over the past five years and not one of them is close to being the one. It's just not happening for me."
Going around arranging the living room Santana turns to her and says, "It doesn't mean that it wont."
Rachel raises an eyebrow at her, "It doesn't mean that it will either."
All of a sudden the four children come barreling through the living room and into the hallway carrying what appears to be their dinner.
"Is that my chicken? Ay Dios Mio get back here with that!" Santana runs into the hallway, "That. Is. your dinner, not a toy!"
Obviously the children have long gone and the Latina just turns to Rachel and in a monotone says, "I hate them."
Then sniffing she turns around, "Do you smell pee?"
Rachel looks at her and shakes her head, "You don't hate them. They're yours and Brittany's. And no, I don't smell pee."
Santana gets a faraway look on her face, "Yeah me and B." She smiles but then it turns into a scowl, "I smell pee!"
End Flashback
'So I had to figure it out on my own. I examined every possibility and arrived at the most logical conclusion.'

"Will you be my baby daddy?"
Kurt spits out a mouthful of Sauvignon Blanc and quickly dabs his mouth with his napkin, "What? No. No! Are you out of your mind? I cant be the father."
Looking at him across the table Rachel pleads, "Come on! We don't have to have sex."
A look of horror crosses his face, "Oh God, I didn't even think of that. Rewind. Rewind. Rewind."
Sighing Rachel looks at him with her big brown eyes hopeful and pleading, "You're one of my best friends. Don't you want to help me?"
Kurt nods his head, "Yes but…that's too much. I'll walk your dog, tell you when you look fat, be honest about your eyebrows."
Shaking her head she looks back down at her dinner then back at him, "You know what, just forget it. Forget about the whole thing."

'Well that was a bust. So I took life by the uh…horns? And I uh did what I had to do.'
Rachel smiles to herself and nods, 'Yeah, it's going to be okay. I have a plan.'
Just then the ticking of the timer stops and a loud ding! Disrupts the silence.
'Done.'
She then looks around her and then at her legs that are high above her, "How the hell am I supposed to get down from here?"
Xoxo
Rachel gets dressed and puts on her shoes and walks out of the room and down the hallway, making sure to keep her legs pressed firmly together and only moving from the knees down.
"Whoa now Rachel, you don't have to walk like that." Dr. Morrison smiles at her as he puts a hand on her back and guides her out.
"Wha, oh okay." Rachel laughs and separates her legs slightly, but then just snaps them shut again.
"By the way, I have the name of an incredible support group for single moms, if you're interested."
That threw the brunette for a second but she recovers almost instantly, "Great! Great…you know maybe we should hug, we might've just made a baby together."
Awkwardly Dr. Morrison just chuckles and pats her on the back while Rachel stands there opening her arms ready to accept a hug, "Good luck."
Still smiling, she puts her hands down ,"Alright."
As he walks away she shrugs and for the life of her she cannot stop smiling as she walks through the hospital on her way out.
"Hi!" She says enthusiastically when she passes a few very pregnant women sitting on a couch.
"Hi." They say monotonously which apparently doesn't register with our diva since she just smiles even larger and continues on her way.
Walking into the elevator there's another mother holding her baby. Rachel smiles at them, "Hi."
The mother smiles back at her, "Hi."
As the elevator descends, Rachel continues to look at the baby with a smile on her face, for an uncomfortably long time.
The woman looks at her, "You're starting to freak me out."
Rachel quickly ducks her head and looks to the floor, "Sorry."
However she can't help it and after a beat she sneaks another looks.
"Stop it!"

Making her way out the door of the OBGYN, she's met with torrential rain, and even that cannot put a frown on her face. It's the kind of rain that turns umbrellas inside out and has New Yorkers running for cover with newspapers on their heads.
Despite the rain Rachel still skips out of the building, throws her arms out and twirls around slowly as the rain continues to beat down. Realizing her legs are too far apart she snaps them shut again.
"Hi!" she says to a mother pushing a baby carriage, covered in plastic, trying to get out of the rain.
"Get away from me!" The woman then proceeds to push the carriage even faster.
Shrugging it off, she still has a large smile on her face as she runs to the curb, and throws a hand in the air, "Taxi!"
As soon as she does, one of the numerous taxis speeds up and stops right in front of her.
Rachel's smile gets even bigger as she throws open the door and lifts her head to the heavens, "Hallelujah!" and she slips into the cab…just as someone else gets in on the other door.
"Wh…Excuse me, this is my cab."
The other occupant of the cab wipes the rain from her face with her hand, as she turns to face Rachel, "What, you own it?"
Thrown by the blonde's words and semi hostility she shakes her head, "No, but I was about to rent it."
The blonde occupant raises her eyebrow and points to herself, "If you see someone hail a cab and the cab pulls up for them, you can't just jump in and claim that it's yours." She says pointing at Rachel.
Shaking her head, Rachel looks at her, "I didn't see you!"
The blonde smirks, "I saw you see me."
Rachel, who cannot believe this is happening to her, turns to the cab driver, smiles and tries to get his attention, "Sir? Sir? Excuse me but who saw you first?"
However the cabbie simply picks up the paper and ignores her.
The blonde continues, "Maybe you're not from around here but there's a code…certain rules we try to follow."
Shaking her head the brunette just gives up, "Fine! Fine, forget it, I'll get out."
Rachel grabs the door handle and opens the door and then turns to the blonde, "But not because you're right, but because I'm in a terrific mood, and you're ruining it."
"No, I'll get out."
Both Rachel and her blonde companion are now out of the cab, on opposite sides and are standing in the pouring rain again.
Rachel crosses her arms, "Now what?"
The blonde shrugs, "I don't know. You tell me."
The cabbie decides to answer for them by peeling away from them.
Rachel throws her hand in the air calling after him, "Hey! No come back here!"
The blonde follows after the cab, "Hey! HEY!" Obviously seeing the point is moot she gives up and puts her hands on her hips as Rachel continues to call after it, begging it to come back.
The brunette then turns to her, "Well that was stupid. Why'd you get out?...You…Stupid head."
The blonde throws a hand up, "You said you were in a great mood and that I was ruining it. I felt bad!"
After a beat the blonde continues with surprise and confusion in her voice, "And I'm sorry wait, did you just call me a stupid head?"
Rachel scoffs and storms off with her little steps, and throwing her bag over her head.
Xxx
Running to the subway station the blonde and Rachel both swipe their metro cards at the same time.
They enter the subway platform which is jam packed with all the other New Yorkers who are shit-out-of-luck in the cab department. Rain droplets drip from the ceiling above.
The blonde turns to Rachel, "How's your great mood now?"
Choosing to ignore her, Rachel just walks away and as soon as the train pulls up she gets in.
Two minutes later and the blonde is back to back with Rachel, being pushed together by the crowd. Rachel's trying her best to read the paper and ignore the blonde behind her.
"How bout now?"
Rachel sighs, "Please stop talking to me."
The blonde just smiles and turns back around, letting her be for now.
As they make their way out of the subway station, they are again only a few feet apart and curiosity got the best of the blonde, "So…why you in such a good mood anyway?"
Rachel shakes her head but can't help but to smile, "Not that it's any of your business but…good things are happening to me."
Decidedly moved by this, the blonde smiles at her, "Well that's great! I hope it continues."
They both stop walking as Rachel turns around and faces her, "Thanks." She smirks as she looks the blonde woman up and down, subtly, "Well, have a nice life and uh…try not to steal any more cabs."
Raising and eyebrow the blonde grins, her eyes shining, "Yeah. You do the same."
Looking over her shoulder Rachel chuckles as she continues on her way.
Suddenly the blonde calls out, "Hey! There's a penny right there, why don't you pick it up, its good luck."
Rachel stops and turns back around, and walks towards the penny, "Only if it's heads." She then proceeds to kneel and turn it over so that it's facing heads instead of tails.
As she stands back up, she looks at the blonde smiling, "Now someone else can have good luck. Bye!"
She then walks away again, leaving a very intrigued blonde in her wake, "Bye."
Okay so I'm aware of the fact that the idea of the story isn't mine. But I really did like this movie and I just really wanted to see it done with Faberry-ness. If you guys don't wanna see it continued then just lemme know and I'll stop it right away and just focus on NLMG. But I'd really like to hear from you guys so leave me feedback. Thank you (:
