They head back to Lima for the Annual Hummel Labor Day picnic the next week. They stay with Rachel's dads at her old house, and they sleep in Rachel's old bedroom. Finn thinks it's kind of ironic that he and his pregnant wife are staying in the room where he "deflowered her" (her term, not his) for the first time.
"Should we tell them?" Rachel asks worriedly.
Finn shrugs. "They'll have to find out eventually."
She nods. "We'll tell them tomorrow, then, I suppose."
And, sure enough, the next morning at breakfast, Rachel tells her dad and daddy that she has an announcement, gripping Finn's hand tightly as she says that she is pregnant. Her daddy squeals, standing up to hug Rachel and then Finn, ranting on and on about how it's so wonderful that he's getting a grandchild.
Finn looks over at her dad. His lips are closed, but he's smiling. He offers Finn his hand, which Finn shakes.
"Congratulations, son," he says warmly. "I really couldn't've picked a better guy for my daughter to procreate with."
Finn thinks it's a compliment, so he says, "Er, thanks, Hiram" (because he told Finn to stop calling him Mr. Berry years ago) and rubs the back of his neck.
Hiram just smiles widely, then goes to hug his daughter.
Afterwards, when they're finally alone in Rachel's old room, half undressed on her bed, hands roaming, she mutters, "That went well."
He presses a kiss to her neck. "So well."
"I can't wait to tell your mom," Rachel sighs. "She's going to be so excited."
"Me neither," he mutters. "But for now can I just focus on making you excited?"
She laughs, but she doesn't protest when he slips his hand under her tank top. And she only giggles when he leans down to press a kiss to her still-flat stomach.
