She paces back and forth, glancing at the timer every five seconds or so. It's making him a little dizzy.
"Rach, can you stop?" he asks. "I mean, just… I'm nervous, too."
She bites her lip, crossing the room to sit on the bed beside him. "What happens if it's positive?" she asks quietly.
"Then we're going to have a baby," he tells her. He can see it suddenly, Rachel holding a little them, and he realizes just how much he wants it.
"What if I can't do it?" she asks quietly. "What if I'm not cut out for this, Finn? I mean, I – I have no ideahow to raise a child, and I still haven't made it yet and what if I never will and—"
"Hey," he says, pulling her to him and smoothing her hair. "You'll be great, Rach, okay? You're Rachel Hudson – you can do anything."
She smiles a little. "That's very sweet, Finn."
He tilts her chin upwards and captures her lips in a light kiss right before the timer goes off. She looks up at him fearfully.
"Just breathe," he reminds her gently.
She takes in a shaky breath, hauling herself up off the bed. She quickly sits back down again. "I can't do it, Finn," she whimpers. "I can't look at it. Can… can you…?"
He nods, and as he gets up, his heart is pounding really fast. He squeezes her hand, then crosses the room. He takes a deep breath, then picks up the stick, squinting at it. "Babe?" he asks.
"Yeah?"
"What do two lines mean?"
She lets out a noise that sounds halfway between a sob and a laugh. "It means you're going to be a daddy."
"Oh," he says, and he feels a little light-headed all of a sudden. There's a little fetus in Rachel's stomach right now and soon it'll be like an actual baby and it's half him and half her. "Cool."
Then everything goes black.
