Chapter 39

Rachel's POV:

Beep

I hit my alarm clock and sit up in my bed. Luckily, it's Saturday so I don't have school. I pick up my phone, and immediately dim the brightness. It's way too bright.

I text Finn. 'Date tonight?'

Every Saturday, we go on a date. I'm just clarifying, in case the plans changed.

He doesn't text back right away, probably because it's 10 am on a Saturday.

I get on my treadmill, and run at a steady pace. 

My wall is fully decorated with about one hundred gold stars, and I always pretend that I'm running towards them. It helps motivate me.

My phone buzzes, and I see that I got a text from Finn.

'How about we have a double date? Britt and Sam?'

That's actually not such a bad idea. I don't think we have had a double date in a while. 

I press stop on the treadmill and text Brittany.

'Double date tonight? You and Sam, with  me and Finn.'

She texts back right away.

'Cant. We hav Fondue for 2. Sory' 

Well what other couples are there? Well there's Quinn and Puck. But I'm not really sure what they are.

I text Quinn, 'Hey, want to go to Breadstix tonight with me and Finn? You can bring Puck.'

I put my phone down, and take a sip of water. 

My stomach has definitely been growing, and at this point I just look bloated.

Dang it I really want spicy food. 

Maybe some Sriracha can help.

"Dad! Can you get me some chips and sriracha? Pleaseeeee?" I yell, and I hear Hiram running down the stairs. Hiram tends to run faster than LeRoy, which is kinda one of the ways I tell them apart.

Within two minutes, my dad runs into my room with a bag of chips and a full bottle of Sriracha.

"Sorry baby, wasn't sure how much you wanted." He kisses the top of my head, and hands me the food.

"Thank you!" I tell him as he walks out.

'Sure. We will meet you there. We will be there in four hours. :)'

I then spend the next hour and a half shoving my face with spicy chips, and watching YouTube videos of different Broadway star. After all, regional's is in one week.

Seriously though. I need to practice the song. 

It's a song that has been on the radio a lot, and we all know it. It's by Ariana Grande.

I check the time, and see that I only have two hours before I need to leave.

"Shit." I say with a mouthful of chips.

I pull myself out of my bed, and look in my closet. I slide on a nudish pink colored dress. It's casual, but also a little fancy. It's perfect for Breadstix. 

After, I go to the bathroom and put on some pink lipstick. I put on some concealer, foundation, blush, and do my eyes, until I'm fully satisfied.

By the time I finish, I have half an hour before Finn picks me up. I look in the mirror one more time, and smile at the way I look. My makeup is done, but I've done it in a way that looks pretty natural. Finn hates when I wear too much makeup. 

My phone buzzes, and it's from Finn.

'I'll be there in 5'

Crap, he's early. I run into my closet and pick my nude wedges. Finn is about seven million feet taller than me. I would like to at least be up to his chin tonight.

I fix my hair in the mirror, and walk down the stairs.

"I'll be home later tonight." I tell my dad, but stop walking when I feel a little pressure in my bladder.

"I gotta pee!" I yell, and run into the bathroom. The doctor warned me that a huge part of pregnancy is having a smaller bladder. I've had to pee like eight times a day.

-----

"Um, can we have an order of breadsticks for the table, and can I have a house salad?" I order, and the waitress nods. She then moves on to Puck, who's arm is naturally around Quinns shoulders. I smile, knowing they both like each other.

They could definitely be the type of couple that is end game. Instead, they are both oblivious to this, and neither want to make a move.

Everyone orders their food, and Finn whispers in my ear. 

"You look amazing tonight," His voice gives me chills, and I bite my  lip. I feel my cheeks heat up, so I look down at my lap. 

"Thanks. You look pretty hot yourself." I tease, and it's his turn to turn pink.

"They're adorable." He whispers again, and I look over at Quinn and Puck. Quinn is laughing at something that Puck is saying, while Puck finally doesn't look like he's just trying to get in her pants or hook up. He legitimately looks like he has a crush on her.

The food finally gets placed on the table, and I immediately start scarfing down some Breadstix. 

Quinn looks at me and raises an eyebrow.

"I'm pregnant. Deal with it." I say with a mouthful of food.

Everyone at the table laughs, even though I hadn't realized that what I said is funny. I watch as Puck kisses Quinn's cheek, and she blushes.

I put down my food, and my mouth drops open. 

"Did something happen here?" I ask, and Quinn bites her lip.

She shakes her head and smiles, while Puck stares at her.

"Actually," He starts. "Quinn, you know that I like you. Even though I shouldn't have gotten you pregnant, you have to admit we make beautiful babies." He winks, and she laughs.

"But seriously though, I have loved you through thick and thin, and you're my world. Even on your worst days, I promise to love you unconditionally. So Quinn, will you be my girlfriend?" He asks nervously, and I lean into Finn.

Quinn nods, and they kiss. Only problem is they don't stop, leaving Finn and I awkwardly having to talk with a couple making out across from us.

"So, um-" I start before we both burst out laughing.

"That was one of the lamest speeches I have ever heard." He says and I shush him.

"It's the thought that counts." I whisper.

Suddenly, I feel something move in my stomach, and my bladder feels like it's going to explode.

"Crap." I whisper, and walk off to the bathroom.

I sit on the toilet and sigh. I hate leaving dinners. I always feel like I miss something. 

"Rachel?" I hear Quinn's voice.

"Yeah?" I ask from inside the stall.

"You okay? Finn told me to check on you." She says through the crack of the stall.

"I'm fine. Just had to pee." I laugh and flush the toilet.

"Oh, well anyways. Thanks for bringing Puck and I here." She smiles and I wash my hands. I smile too, genuinely happy to see her and Puck together. I look at her through the mirror, and can see that her hair is done perfectly, and you can tell she really prepared for this night.

 "I'm glad you guys are happy." I tell her and she nods.

I begin to walk out of the bathroom, when she hugs me. It's weird. Quinn Fabray hugging me. She originally hated me. But I guess things change?

I hug her back, and spend the rest of the night talking and laughing with our boyfriends.
