Rachel was watching Shelby when she realized she has toilet paper on her own skin. It was surprisingly comfortable enough to be easily forgotten, but that's when she continued taking the toilet paper off of her. When Shelby asked her question, she didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was serious, so she decided to try to make it more fun, and lively. She had to think of something that could really surprise her mom. And what surprises most parents than a teen pregnancy. First, it'll hopefully lighten the mood and she and her mother can have a laugh together, and it can help her practice her "show face". She immediately put on a serious face, pretended to take a deep needed breath and spoke.
"What do you know, um, about pregnancy?", she said, trying to look concerned.

Shelby's eyes widened and she lurched foreward a bit, having to grab to seat next to her to keep her balance. "Rachel for the love of all that is good, please tell me you're not pregnant."

Rachel just started laughing her usual 'this was fun' laugh. "Oh no, not at all, jumping in bed with the quarterback isn't really true to me..", she said, still laughing. (That last part was actually from one of the spoilers from the post 'Glee Season 2 Spoilers', just had to add that since it was the perfect time to add that in  |

"Oh thank God." Shleby let out a breath of relief and managed to up right herself "So did you actually want to know abut pregnancy or do you just enjoy scaring me half to death?" she laughed.

Rachel thought for a moment. "A little bit of the second part, but I intentionally just wanted us to have a laugh about something...", she admitted, ".. though I think I was mostly the one who enjoyed it..." She laughed again.

Shelby laughed a bit "It's nice to see you've got some of my sense of humor too." she smiled.

Rachel smiled. She always thought her sense of humor was from her dads. But she really saw that the trait clearly came from Shelby.
"Anyway..", she started, trying to come up with another topic, "what are you doing here? I mean, don't most teachers... teach.. at this time of day?"

"Ah the joys of having a planning period in the middle of the day." Shelby answered. "Though I guess i should probably be working or something..."

Rachel was curious.
"What do you do? I presume that Vocal Adrenaline practices after school, unless I'm wrong. Who takes care of Beth while you work?", Rachel just threw questions at Shelby the moment she thought of them.

"There's a day care center not too far from my apartment so she's usually there until I get off work. Whenever our rehearsals run later than expected my neighbor picks her up for me and watches her until I come home." Shelby looked around at the destroyed state of the auditorium. Perhaps she would cancel rehearsal tonight and pick Beth up early.

Rachel immediately came up with more questions "How is she? Does she look more like Quinn or more like Puck?"

Shelby smiled, happy that Rachel wasn't sowing any signs of resenting Beth like she had originally feared "She mostly looks like Quinn, but she's got Puck's eyes."

Rachel smiled. "...oh.." "... was she.. like the daughter that you've always wanted", she asked, concerned.

"Rachel..." Shelby started trying to find to right words "Beth will never be a replacement for you. You are both my daughters and I love you both so much. Out of everything that didn't go the way I planned in my life, the only thing I regret is not being there for you all these years." Shelby quickly brushed a few tears away, hoping rachel hadn't seen them start to form.

Rachel nodded. "But, I don't mean it that way. I know that you didn't have a choice.", she said, then smiled again.
