Four years have passed and gone. Rachel's finally back. She's home in New York, only she hasn't returned alone and she's no longer a Corcroan. Everyone assumes she's been living the wonderful life with her husband Finn Hudson. Only they don't know she got pregnant, and left her wonderful life, once more. In fact, no one knows what happened between Mrs. Hudson and Mr. Hudson. Only four people are aware of what went down that night. But Rachel doesn't plan on telling her story soon.

"Can we stay here?"

Shelby POV
I haven't seen my estranged daughter in four years and she suddenly shows up at my doorstep with a kid and luggage? No mother can say no to her. I let her in, even though it's ten thirty at night. It's strange I have no idea what happened but just that my Rachel is a mess. I tell her that her room is still available. I don't think she has time for a reunion so me and Jill just watch her walk away. Rachel picks up her daughter, I assume, who is still sucking her thumb and not saying anything but just looking at us with her pretty hazel eyes. Jill grabs Rachel luggage and I follow her Rachel to see what's going on.

Rachel POV
A lot has just happened, so all I really want to do is put my daughter to sleep and not think about it. I lay Julie down on my old bed, she grabs her favorite teddy bear and sucks her thumb, she pulls it out

"Mommy, when's daddy and Jenna going get here?" Julie asks me with those familiar hazel eyes
"Um, they're not coming baby girl" I said tucking her and trying not cry in front of her
"Why? I want daddy to kiss snuggles like he always does! Jenna misses us too I can feel it!" Julie says almost crying again
"I'm sorry, baby, but that's just how it's going to be now" I say stroking her hair
"But I miss daddy and Jenna" she says stubbornly
"Listen baby, mommys tired why don't we talk in the morning ok? Want me to kiss snuggles?" I ask trying to make her go to sleep
"No, can you sing me the song" Julie asks sucking her thumb again
"Ok" I smile

*sings some of faithfully

Rachel POV
I watch as she goes to sleep to the song. It take everything I have to not burst into tears.
I just can't handle the memory of what happened right now. It hurts too much.
