Pregnant, at first Rachel opts rebelliously to leave hospital -- it should handle delivery (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
parcel post
'it should handle delivery' is the definition.
(postal service)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parcel post that I've seen before include "Mail service" , "Means of sending packages" , "How something's sent" .)
