We Are Endgame

Regionals

Today is the day, Rachel thinks to herself. The kids have trained so hard for this. It would kill her and them if they didnt make it to regionals. Last year the new directions lost and she doesn't want a repeat. With several alumni nearby and with there support and help the New Directions have a better chance this year. With Aldo and Melanie as lead vocals, she views them as a secret weapon. Only hopes it work out. Rachel paces around there hotel room in Los Angeles a couple hours before they must be at the theatre. Having everything prepared is of the utmost importance and she is so stressed, she feels like she will screw it up for the kids, for everyone back home.

"Rachel. Honey are you in here?" He calls as he walks in the room.

He sees her stressing and crying on the bathroom floor

"Oh my gosh. Rachel is everything okay. What Happened? Are you hurt?" He asked frantically, sitting next to her on the floor

She wipes away some of her tears
"No. I'm fine. It just I don't know what the outcome of this will be. I have so much I still have to do. I have to pick up the outfits from the cleaners, help do the girls makeup and hair. Style the guys hair. Practice with them. While I haven't ate yet. And on top of that me and you are the only ones here yet and I have to go pick up Shelby from the airport in an hour" Rachel exclaims all at once

Finn simply nods and wipes the leaking mascara from her face with a wipe "Rachel, it's okay to be stressed. This is your first time doing this and yes it's a big risk taking over the New Directions but I can tell you something that I know. Seeing you with those kids. I have never seen you happier to sing again, unlike when your performing or in plays. You have given it your all and it makes me proud to be your husband to see the lengths you have soared. Now love. Cheer up. Clean up and I will helo the guys with there hair, order you some food from room service and pick up all the clothes" he says and kisses her

"Thank you. I don't know what I would do without you finn" she says getting up

He smiles and walks downstairs. Giving her some alone time to calm down and get everything organized. She calls the dry cleaner and tells them to expect a Mr Finn Hudson to pick up the outfits. Her food arrives 20 minutes later. He ordered one of her favorites, vegetarian lasagna and sprite. As soon as she is done she places all the makeup and hair products downstairs in the dressing room and bolts quickly to go pick up shelby. She arrives right on time to see Shelby at the curb

"Hi Rachel. How is everything going with the kids so far. I'm sorry I couldn't be out here sooner. Doctors orders. How are you and Melanie?" Shelby asked

"Well I'm doing good. I was little troubled earlier but everything is resolved. And I'm glad you came, so is melanie. Were getting along. She is having some nervousness about preforming. I thought her mom could cheer her up"

"And I shall. Oh both my girls. Singers like me. I know you don't view me as your mom Rachel, but I'm glad we have gotten to know each other more now before it is to late" shelby responds

"You may have not raised me but you gave me life. And your my mom in a way. But I will still call you Shelby. And you have more time. I know you'll be okay. Your doctor is helping you"

"Yes he is" Shelby responds "I just don't want to get my hopes up. Thank you for the lift from the airport " she says as she grabs her luggage

"Melanie is in room 331. Remember in two hours tell her to bring all the girls down please"

"I will Rachel. See you in a couple of hours"

Rachel goes back to her room for two hours of solice. As soon as she gets up. To her hotel room door, she opens and sees finn with a bouquet of flowers.
