It could be that she's punished for breaking a rule in the glee club. Let's say there's a rule about respecting everyone's song choices, and she dismisses someone else's choice in a mean way. So, the punishment could be that she has to help that person with their performance instead of working on her own for a while. This would force her to be more collaborative and less self - centered.
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.
One possible plot could be that Rachel gives birth during a big performance. Maybe she has been hiding her pregnancy from most of the glee club members, and right in the middle of a huge show, her water breaks. This leads to a chaotic but heartwarming situation where her friends rally around her, turning the backstage area into an impromptu delivery room while still trying to keep the show going in some way outside.
The plot might involve a twist where Rachel discovers she's pregnant, but she's not sure if Mike is the father. This creates a lot of internal conflict for her. She doesn't want to tell Mike right away until she's certain. Meanwhile, Mike starts noticing that Rachel is acting strange and becomes worried. As the story unfolds, they have to face the truth together and decide what to do about the pregnancy, whether they stay together or not depending on the paternity results.
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 fanfiction could be about how Rachel deals with her pregnancy while still trying to pursue her dreams in the Glee club. Maybe she has to balance rehearsals and performances with doctor appointments and the physical changes she's going through.
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.
One possible plotline could be that Rachel defies the glee club's rules about song selection. Maybe she wants to perform a very avant - garde piece that the club deems too risky for a competition. This could lead to conflicts within the group, with some members siding with her for the sake of artistic expression and others thinking she's being too self - centered. Another plotline might be that Rachel is disobedient when it comes to the rehearsal schedule. She skips rehearsals to pursue other opportunities, like an audition for a small role in a local theater production. This would cause tension as the other members of the glee club rely on her presence and talent for their group performances.
There are many possible fanfictions on this topic. One could be where Rachel is bullied for her over - the - top ambitions in the Glee club. Maybe some of the other members are jealous of the attention she gets from the teacher and start to spread rumors about her, which makes her feel isolated.
One possible plot could be that they start off as friends with a bit of a rocky past. Maybe they decide to get married on a whim after a particularly emotional moment. Then they have to deal with the reactions of their friends and family from Glee club. Some might be supportive while others are shocked. They could go through a series of comical and heartwarming events as they plan their wedding and learn more about each other in the process.
Well, a plot twist might be that a big storm hits right in the middle of the ceremony. Everyone has to scramble to find shelter, and in the chaos, Finn and Rachel get separated. They then have to find their way back to each other through the storm, which makes them realize how much they truly love and need one another. Another possibility is that a secret about one of their families is revealed on the wedding day. For example, Finn discovers that he has a long - lost relative who has a very different view on their relationship. This could create some drama and conflict before they finally get to be happily married. Also, what if the wedding singer they hired turns out to be a spy from a rival Glee club who tries to sabotage the wedding by singing off - key on purpose?
