It's been 8 years since nationals, to this day exactly, 8 years since I told Rachel I didn't want to be with anyone else but her. We've been going strong ever since and I plan on asking her tonight to marry me. I asked Leroy and Hiram and they were all for it, they just want their daughter to be happy. I don't exactly know how to do this but I think I'm going to take her out for dinner at Sardie's and then go for a walk through Central Park and propose at Bow Bridge where she looked so gorgeous just 8 years ago, It'll be romantic right? Oh my what if she says no, what if she just rejects me straight up in my face. I'm pacing back and forth through the kitchen in our apartment when I hear the door open, I put the ring back in the box and throw it in my pocket.

"Finn, baby where are you?"

"I'm in here sweetheart."

"You'll never guess what happen today at auditions!"

Rachel and I had moved to New York a year after me and her graduated from Lima Community College. Rachel didn't go to Juilliard or NYU, she decided at the last minute she wanted to be nothing more than a music teacher. She decided she would live in New York for one or two years and audition for a few roles on Broadway and if that didn't work out she would return to Lima, Ohio to be a teacher at William McKinley High School. It was my choice whether or not to go with her. I was perfectly comfortable with her plans and was willing to do anything to continue to be with her for the rest of my life.

"What happen babe?"

" I GOT THE PART FINN, I GOT ELPHABA!"

"OH MY GOSH, RACHEL THAT'S AMAZING!"

I may have hugged her tightly, too tightly but I was so proud of her and I wanted to continue to her good day by asking her if she would like to become Mrs. Hudson.

"I love you , Finn."

"I love you too baby, now go get ready"

"Why?"

"….because I'm taking you out to eat to celebrate, We're going to Sardie's then going for a walk through Central Park."

She had a smile on her face so I knew it was something she was looking forward too. She walked out of the bathroom and my jaw dropped.

"What do I look bad?"

"No you look gorgeous, amazingly gorgeous."

"Aw. I love you, Finn Christopher Hudson."

" And I love you too, Rachel Barbra Berry. Now let's go."

And with that we were off to start are amazing night.
