"Finn. Finn!!"

He rushed over to her. "Rach, what is it?"

"I.. Think.." She said, her hand over her mouth. Sensing her need, he ran her to the bathroom, where she immediately emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet.

"Ugh, morning sickness stinks." Finn just rubbed her back in soothing circles.

"Hey, babe. Let's go to the couch and we can watch a movie til you're feeling better. This thing only lasts the morning, right?"

"I hope so. I don't think I can sit through a whole movie though."

"Alright, let's just go to the couch and cuddle then. I'll bring a bucket, just in case."

"Ok." Rachel said, and gagged into the toilet again. Finn wrapped his arms around her and led her to the couch.

After lunch Rachel wasn't feeling any better, which led to a very confused Finn. "Why do they call it morning sickness if it lasts all day?"

"I have no-" She stopped suddenly and gagged. Finn put the bucket over her mouth just in time.

"I don't know how much longer I can do this. I feel like someone is punching my gut."

"Why don't you call Quinn?"

"Yeah. Good idea." She dialed Quinn's number.

"Hey, it's Quinn." A cheery voice said on the other end of the line.

"Quinn, it's Rachel."

"Hey, Rach, how are you?"

"Not so great. It's finally hit. How long does it last?"

"I'm so sorry Rachel. It's different for everyone. Usually it's about ten weeks or so."

Rachel groaned. "Ughhhhh!"

"I know. It stinks. I wish there was something I could do."

"Ugh, no. It's okay. I just have to get through this, and then it'll be easy, right?"

"I wish I could say that."

"I was afraid you'd say that. Alright, thanks, Quinn."

"Anytime. Feel better."

"Thanks, bye."

Rachel spent the next ten weeks in bed feeling awful. She quit her classes at NYADA in hopes to resume them another time. Finn was a great help to her, taking care of her every need. Literally. He was still confused as to why it was called morning sickness, though...
