Well, at first, it might be a bit of a shock to their relationship. They may have been in a more carefree stage of dating before. But once they accept the pregnancy, their relationship becomes more centered around the future. They start thinking about things like where they'll live, what kind of education they want for their child. Their relationship shifts from just being about their love for each other to also including their love for the baby they're about to have.
One interesting plotline could be how Sam and Rachel deal with the reactions of their friends and family. Their friends might be shocked at first, but then come around to support them. Another could be the two of them trying to balance their dreams, like Rachel's Broadway aspirations and Sam's own career goals, while also preparing for a baby.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, Sam and Rachel could be in a situation where they're not sure if they should be together as a couple while having a baby. They might explore different living arrangements and support systems. Or they could be in a world where having a baby out of wedlock is highly frowned upon, so they have to fight against society's judgment while also dealing with the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy.
Well, it might also bring some stress. Rachel could be hormonal and Sam might not always know how to deal with it. But this also gives them a chance to learn more about each other. For example, Sam might learn to be more patient, and Rachel might see a more responsible side of Sam. Overall, it's a big shift from their pre - pregnancy relationship, and they have to adapt to this new phase together.
In the fanfiction, they could approach the financial aspect in a very creative way. For example, they could start a small online business related to baby products or parenting tips. Sam could use his skills to do some freelance work. They would also need to think about long - term costs like education. So, they might start saving early, perhaps by putting aside a small amount each month into a dedicated savings account for the baby's future.
In this fanfiction, Sam might develop by learning to be more empathetic towards Rachel's experiences during pregnancy. He could start to understand her fears and joys on a deeper level. Rachel could develop by becoming more independent. Maybe she realizes she can't always rely on Sam or others and starts to take charge of her own life and the future of the baby. She could also become more forgiving if Sam makes mistakes along the way, showing her growth as a character.
I think Quinn could be a great addition. She could be the one who initially misunderstands the situation between Sam and Rachel and causes some drama. Also, Finn could be included as he might have his own feelings about Rachel being with Sam.
It's possible that Rachel and Will are characters from a less - known or niche media. They could be part of a small - scale web series or a local theater production that has a dedicated fan base. In the fanfiction, the writer may be expanding on the hinted - at relationship between them from the original source material and taking it in the direction of pregnancy, exploring how that would change their lives, their relationships with other characters, and their own personal growth.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, their friends from Glee club react in different ways. Some might be super supportive, like Mercedes who could offer to throw a baby shower. Others, like Santana, might be a bit more skeptical at first but then warm up to the idea. And they could all come together to help Rachel and Sam through the pregnancy, like with prenatal classes or helping to decorate the nursery.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Rachel and Sam are in a secret relationship when they find out about the pregnancy. They then have to decide whether to go public or keep it a secret for a while longer. This could lead to a lot of drama as they try to hide it from their friends who might not approve. Another aspect could be their journey to prenatal classes, where they meet other expecting couples and learn more about pregnancy and childbirth.
