Perhaps in the fanfiction, the baby could bring unexpected changes to their friendship - turned - relationship. Their friends, like Ross, Phoebe, and Chandler, might have different reactions. Ross could initially be a bit jealous or uncomfortable, but then come around. The baby could also become a sort of catalyst for Joey and Rachel to re - evaluate their careers. Maybe Rachel decides to take a break from her high - powered job to be more present for the baby, and Joey starts taking on more family - friendly acting roles.
The plot could involve the discovery of the baby having some special talent or quirk. Joey and Rachel might be baffled at first but then embrace it. For instance, the baby could have an uncanny ability to mimic voices at a very young age. This would be hilarious for Joey, who could see it as a sign of his baby being a natural actor. They could also face some external threats to their family unit, like a nosy neighbor or a difficult daycare situation, which they would have to overcome together as a loving and united couple.
One possible plot could be that Joey and Rachel initially struggle with the new responsibilities of parenthood. They might face challenges like sleepless nights and learning how to take care of a baby together. For example, Joey could try to use his comical acting skills to make the baby laugh during diaper changes, while Rachel is more focused on the baby's proper feeding schedule. Eventually, they grow closer as a couple through the shared experience of raising their child.
The plot could involve them dealing with financial difficulties. With a new baby, they need to find ways to make ends meet. Rachel tries to balance part - time jobs and still pursue her passion for music, and Puck might consider getting a more stable job. Their relationship could be strained at times because of the stress, but in the end, they realize that their love for each other and their baby is what matters most and they find solutions together.
One possible plot could be that Rachel and Finn are newlyweds and they are adjusting to life with a new baby. They face challenges like sleepless nights and financial stress, but their love for each other and the baby helps them get through. For example, Finn might take on extra jobs to support the family while Rachel takes care of the baby at home and still tries to pursue her dreams of getting back into performing.
One possible plot could be that Puck and Rachel initially struggle with the news of the baby. They might face opposition from their friends and family who don't think they are ready. But as time goes on, they start to bond over the impending arrival. Puck could become more responsible, getting a steady job to support the family. Rachel would be preparing for motherhood while still chasing her dreams in the performing arts world. They could have some sweet moments where Puck sings to Rachel's baby bump and they daydream about their future as a family.
Their relationship would likely become more serious and committed. Having a baby means they are now responsible for another life, so they would have to put their relationship first in many ways. They would have to communicate better about things like finances for the baby's future, and their own personal time would be more limited.
In this fanfiction, it might also be about Rachel's insecurities as a new mother. She may worry about not being a good enough mom while also trying to uphold her star - like status in Glee. The baby could have some special talent or connection to music that ties into the Glee story. For example, the baby could be a natural at humming Glee - like melodies, which makes Rachel even more determined to give the baby a musical upbringing.
One possible plot is that the baby's father is someone unexpected. And Rachel has to deal with the reactions of her friends and family. She might also face challenges in her career because of having a baby at a certain point in her life. For example, some directors might be hesitant to cast a new mother.
