If you don't mind I have two fics request. How about Samchel wedding and Rachel telling Sam that she's pregnant.
“Oh my sweet little angel looks so beautiful” Hiram Berry cried for the fiftieth time that morning upon walking into the girl’s dressing room and seeing Rachel in her wedding dress for the first time. Nearby Leroy rolled his eyes at his former husband before turning in his attention on his daughter and agreeing that their girl did look amazing, just like an angel. She wore a long strapless gown with a corset bodice and a skirt that flared out. Hiram imagined that this is what a Jewish Cinderella would like when she married Prince Charming. “Sam is going to faint when he sees you, my little princess”.
Rachel giggled at her dad’s reaction, trying to ignore the smirks and laughs that were coming from her maid of honour, Kurt, and her bridesmaids Tina, Sam’s sister Stacey, Santana, Brittney, Mercedes and Quinn. “Daddy stop, you’re embarrassing me” She insisted as Leroy proceeded to pass Hiram yet another tissue to dab his eyes with. “I can’t believe that I’m getting married today! I’m so nervous, how’s Sam? Has anyone checked on him? The wedding starts in less than twenty minutes and I hope he’s not run out after realising he couldn’t possibly love someone as high maintenance as I am!”
“Uh oh, here we go again” Kurt sighed. Just as often as Hiram had been bursting into tears at random, Rachel had begun to have nervous fits that Sam wasn’t going to show up. It was definitely clear to see where she had gotten her dramatic flair from that was for certain. “Rachel, honey, Sam is not going to jilt you at the altar. He knows how crazy you are and loves you for it regardless or maybe even because of it. He’s a laid back guy, you two complement each other perfectly. You need to stop worrying for absolutely no reason” Her best friend told her firmly, placing an arm on her bare shoulder.
She looked at him with wide, doe eyes. “You think so?”
“Gurl, that boy is nuts about you” Mercedes spoke up. “He always looks at you with serious heart eyes”.
“I have to agree. Trouty seems to have a thing for crazy bossy drama queens that have absolutely no fashion sense” Santana remarked causing her wife to elbow her sharply.
“Yeah you’re right. Sam loves me, he wouldn’t ask me to marry him and then jilt me” Rachel agreed, forcing herself to take a deep breath. “This is happening, this is really happening. I’m going to be Rachel Evans!”.
“So you’re taking his name then?” Tina asked, sounding surprised. “I always imagined that you would be all modern feminist and keep your own name”.
“I’ll be keeping my name professionally but personally I will go by Rachel Evans” she replied with a smile. “I like the thought of everyone knowing who I’m married to”.
“That’s why Blaine and I hyphenated” Kurt piped up. “It’s a nice way to show the world we belong together”.
“Maybe Sam should just change his name to Berry” Santana suggested although everyone knew she wasn’t being serious. “Sam Berry has a nice ring to it and besides we all know it’s Berry who wears the pants in the relationship. That boy is whipped”.
A knock on the door interrupted the conversation and the wedding planner poked her head in. “Excuse me guys but the limo is here and it’s time to go”.
“Okay then, its show time” Leroy announced and took Rachel’s arm in his own, leading her outside to the limo. He and Hiram would be going in one Limo with Rachel whilst her party would be going in another one.
Time seemed to drag on as Rachel sat in the car waiting to be taken to the hotel that had been booked for their wedding and then the reception afterwards. “My baby is going to be leaving me forever in less than fifteen minutes” Hiram ranted again with tears in his eyes again as they got closer to the hotel. Leroy smirked at Rachel who giggled at the look on her much more calmer dad’s face. Ten minutes (and about fifty tissues for Hiram) later, they had arrived and were immediately greeted by her bridesmaids.
“It’s time! Blaine rang. Sam and the others are there and waiting. The guests are all seated” Kurt informed the bride as he escorted her and her fathers into the foyer. They made their way down to the room that the wedding was to take place in and the wedding planner began to arrange them all into order. The bridesmaids would be going in first led by Mercedes and then Kurt would be the last to go before Rachel and her parents.
“The music has started. Mercedes you are ago” The wedding planner announced and the doors opened for them to enter. Rachel watched with an anxious stomach as Mercedes disappeared followed by Tina, Santana, Brittney, Quinn, Stacey and then lastly Kurt. “Rachel, get in position”.
“Oh my baby girl” Hiram whispered giving Rachel a kiss on the cheek. “No one is good enough for you but Sam is alright I suppose”.
“I am very happy for you, sweetheart” Leroy added, a lot more relaxed than Rachel’s other father. “Here we go”. She linked both her arms with her fathers and forced herself to breath as the music changed.
She gazed down to the floor as she first entered the room before glancing up and meeting Sam’s gaze. Suddenly it was if all of her worrying and nerves jumped away the moment that she saw his eyes, his entire face light up at seeing her. He’d cut his hair for their wedding and was wearing a fitted black tuxedo. Her breath left her body the moment that she saw him and could only imagine that he was feeling the same way.
After what seemed like an eternity, the music began to fade as Rachel reached Sam’s side. They immediately held each other’s hands as soon as she had broken away from her dads, oblivious to the sounds of Hiram’s sniffles as he let her go. “You look so beautiful” He mouthed to her as the officiator began the service.
When it came to the vows, they had both written their own with Sam going first.“Rachel, when I first met you in high school I never imagined in a million years that we would end up here. You were this hugely dramatic girl with a lot of talent and an incredible voice and I was just Sam, the new guy. We didn’t really take the time to get to know each other for the longest time but when we did, I was really glad that I got to know you and become your friend because you were so loyal, sweet and kind. A lot nicer than some people had given you credit for”
He recalled Santana warning him away from her in his first year at McKinley and then the times he had heard Mercedes and Kurt criticising her behind her back. Things had changed a lot since then.
“You’ve been one of my best friends for years and I never imagined that I would fall in love with you. I’ve been so lucky because you know me better than anybody else and accept me for who I am unconditionally. You’re probably one of the few to ever do so and I love you so much for that. I promise now today that I will love you and support you unconditionally no matter what happens. And I’m more than ready to spend the rest our lives together”.
Rachel had tears burning in the back of her eyes at his words but she had to hold them in or she knew she wouldn’t make it through her own vows.
“Sam, I have to admit that I always thought you were very attractive” a few people laughed at this. “But I was in love with Finn and didn’t think I would ever possibly love anybody else. Then Finn died and there was a huge open wound in my heart that I never thought anything would be able to heal. When we started to become closer after you moved to New York and then back in Lima, that wound slowly began to close up without me even realising it. You took the broken pieces of my heart and put them back together. You saved me, Sam. Without you I think I would have been quite happy to spend the rest of my life alone, pushing people away out of fear of getting hurt again. I felt so safe with you and I knew when I began to fall in love with you that I could trust you with my heart and my soul. I promise to you today, Sam, that you can trust me with yours. I will never deliberately hurt it or do anything to break it. I will protect it with everything that I have in me. I will treasure you for the rest of our lives”.
Sam would never admit it and would deny it quite vehemently later but he’d had tears in his eyes at Rachel’s words. Kurt was openly crying and even Santana was sniffing a bit.
Then the time came for them to exchange rings and then the moment that they had both been waiting for since the second she had stepped into the room, “I now declare you both husband and wife. You may now kiss” Rachel grinned as Sam dipped her in his arms and planted the most passionate kiss on her lips. The room clapped and cheered, happy that these two had finally found their happy ending in each other.
Rachel sat on the bleachers watching as her husband coached his football team. She pressed a hand to her stomach, feeling both anxious and nauseous at the same time. She had been feeling ill for several weeks now, suffering from sickness, headaches and tiredness. She had also been more emotionally than normal and her breasts had been hurting. She had just been to visit the doctor that morning to confirm her suspicions and just as she had thought she was pregnant, about twelve weeks along according to the doctor.
Well at least that explained why she was already having problems squeezing into her pants and some of her skirts. She was three months along and now she had to figure out a way to break the news to Sam. She had a feeling that he was going to be thrilled by the news but that didn’t make her feel any less anxious about it. They had been talking about starting a family for a while now but they hadn’t decided to start trying officially yet.
“Great job, guys. I’ll see you all tomorrow. We’re going to beat those guys tomorrow night!” Sam hollered at the teenagers as practice came to an end. Rachel waved and smiled as he turned around. A grin appeared on his face as he noticed his wife sitting on the bleachers, clearly waiting for him. “Rachel! What are you doing here? I thought that you were going out with Kurt and Blaine”.
“I had to cancel on them. There’s something that we need to talk about, Sam”.
“That sounds serious” Sam frowned as he sat beside her on the bench. “Are you okay? Is this about you throwing up every morning and then sometimes at night?”
“It is” Rachel nodded and took a deep breath. “The thing is…I’m pregnant, Sam”.
Sam froze for a moment, his eyes widening in surprise. Rachel waited and then was startled when he smashed his mouth against hers. “What was that for?” she laughed after they pulled away.
“I’m just so happy, Rach. We’re having a baby!”
“You’re pleased about this?”
“Of course! We’ve been talking about this for ages and I didn’t think it would happen so soon but I am really happy, Rachel. We’re going to have a little football player” he smiled.“
Or Broadway star” Rachel corrected, her eyes sparkling with amusement and happiness. She was so glad that Sam was thrilled about this. She had been a little freaked out if she was being honest but knowing he was excited made her feel a lot better about it. “You’re really okay with this, sweetie?”
“Are you kidding?! This is the best day ever!”
