Rachel's POV

Resting my book against my ever growing bump, I faintly hear Finn reading Spencer and Cory their bedtime story upstairs.

It's Christmas Eve and we finally finished all the shopping today. Finn was adamant that he had to get the new baby some presents even though it's not due for another month.

Placing my book on the bedside table, I manage to make my way out of the master bedroom and begin to climb the stairs leading to the top floor where Spencer and Cory sleep.

Going as fast as an eight month pregnant girl could, I open the door to Spencer's room and see Finn with the children half asleep on his lap.

"The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap"

Placing my hand on my bump I step into the room and make my way over to the rocking chair. Carefully making sure I don't disturb either of them I pick up Cory making sure he doesn't collide with my bump.

"Night Spence.." I say softly as Finn lifts her up so I could kiss her forehead.

"Night Cory" Finn whispers, kissing Cory on the head.

Smiling at Finn, I turn to leave Spencer's room and walk across the hall with Cory rested on my hip. Opening the door, I slowly walk over and lay him down into his bed. Just as I'm about to leave the room after kissing Cory's head I feel the familiar feeling.

"Finn!!" I run out of Cory's room and scream.

"What? Is Cory ok?" Finn rushes out of Spencer's room with a worried expression.

"This isn't happening.. Not again" I cry, holding my bump securely as the pain continues.

"What Rachel, what's going on?" Finn asks sprinting towards me from opposite the hall.

"The baby's coming.. It's too early" I cry as the pain shoots through me.
