It could also be Puck. Maybe there was a one - time fling that led to Rachel having a baby. This would create a whole different dynamic, with Puck having to step up and be more responsible, and Rachel having to deal with a more unexpected father for her child.
Finn could be the father. Given their relationship in the show, it would be a likely scenario. Their story of young love could continue with the addition of a baby, bringing new challenges and joys to their relationship.
Another possibility is that the father is an unknown character. This could add an element of mystery to the fanfiction. Rachel could be on a journey to discover more about the father while also raising the baby on her own, with the support of her Glee friends.
It could be Finn. They had a strong relationship in the original story, so it's possible that they got back together and had a baby.
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.
Another option could be Jesse. Their relationship was also quite intense. Jesse has his own ambitions in the world of performing arts, and a pregnancy with Rachel would create a huge conflict for him. He might be torn between his love for Rachel and his career goals, and this could lead to some really dramatic storylines in the fanfiction.
Another option could be Puck. They had a bit of a history in the show. In the fanfiction, they could have reconnected in a moment of passion and now she's pregnant. This would surely stir up a lot of emotions among the other Glee club members, especially those who were close to both of them.
Well, it could be Finn. They had a long - standing relationship on the show, and it would be a natural choice for him to be the father in the fanfiction. They had a deep connection, and if the story is set in a timeline where their relationship continued to develop, it makes sense that he would be the one.
One plot idea could be that Quinn and Rachel become unexpected friends during their pregnancy journey. They support each other through the various challenges like morning sickness, choosing baby names, and preparing the nursery. Maybe they both fall in love with the idea of their babies growing up together and start planning playdates even before the babies are born.
Finn could be involved. Maybe he got into a huge fight with Rachel over something, like her career choices affecting their relationship, and in the heat of the moment, someone filed a restraining order on her behalf. Quinn might also be involved. If she still had some unresolved jealousy or issues with Rachel, she could be the one who instigated the restraining order, either directly or by influencing others.
The other members of the glee club could also be the ones punishing her in a sense. For instance, if they all feel that Rachel has been hogging the spotlight too much, they could stage a sort of 'protest' within the club. They might refuse to work with her until she changes her ways. This would be a form of punishment as it would make her realize that she needs to be more inclusive and less self - focused.
The father could be John Smith. Their relationship in the original story was complex and having a baby together would add a new dimension to their story. It would also explore how they navigate parenthood given their different backgrounds.
Maybe it's a mysterious character. The fanfiction could introduce a new character as the father, someone with a hidden past or special abilities that add an element of intrigue to the story.
