He drives home in his car in silence, no radio. Just the sounds of the thoughts in his mind. He pulls into their driveway in Lima and see's the Berry's and Hummel cars. He just sits there for a few minutes, thinking of what he is going to say to them. He takes a deep breath, gets out of his car and walks up the front steps and into his home. Their home.
He can hear them talking about the current situation, the two families talking together, and then he walks in and all is silent. He briefly looks at everyone and decides to walk past, and starts walking through the living room, to the bedroom where Rachel always is these days.
He notices Rachel's dads following behind him. "Hey Finn! How are you doing?" Finn just stared at them. "Listen the doctor's called while you were out; the CT scans aren't like what we had hoped. We have to start planning and discussing what we are going to do."
"I don't want to talk about this now Leroy" Finn said right to his face and walked away back onto the path to the bedroom
"Finn you have to face the facts!"
He slowly walked into their room, he didn't know if she was sleeping or not. There she was sitting up on the left side of the bed reading her Broadway News Magazine.
"Hey baby, I got the soda you wanted."
"Thanks Finn, maybe it will help my nausea." He took his shoes off and crawled on the bed and laid his back onto her lap. He grabbed her arm and just stroked it, looking up at his wife.
"You know there is a good side to all of this…"
"O really?" He forced a smile on his face
"You can finally sleep on the left side."
"Nahh I am used to the right now, prefer it actually." She started to run her fingers through his hair and he turned his face to the side away from her, as tears started to fill in his eyes.
"Finn don't cry"
He sits up almost mad, and sits up next to her. "I just don't know what I'll do"
"You will walk around without a proper shirt on, eat junk food, go to bed late and sleep late. Just like you always do. You have to promise me Finn."
"I do that so I can be with you, you are always up, and I feel bad sleeping when you can't."
"I am afraid Finn. I don't want to sleep because I am afraid if I do I won't wake up."
"I'm not complaining Rach I just want to be with you any moment I can. I didn't get enough time with you. You're the love of my life and I can't have you for the rest of mine. It's not fair."
"It's because you're the love of my life. It's my schedule not yours." She put her hand against his cheek and wiped the tears falling from his eyes. She turned his face so she could look him in the eye, and kissed him.
She put her head on his shoulders and started to tear up herself. "We can't keep talking like this Finn. It only makes things worse."
"It's so hard Rachel. But for you I would do anything. You know that right?"
"I know. Will you lay down with me, I am so tired. And pull the blinds?"
"Sure babe"
SO he got up and pulled the blinds. Funny thing was that it was the first sunny day had of straight snow. But he got it, it was 1 in the afternoon, and she needed her rest.
He got into bed and under the blankets and wrapped his arms around his wife, taking in the smell of her hair. She took his hand and their fingers intertwined.
She was asleep within minutes. He started to close his eyes when his phone started buzzing. It was a text from his boss. He started to move when Rachel turned over and said "Don't ever leave without saying I love you"
"I promise I won't"
He kissed her forehead and said, "I love you Rachel Hudson. Forever and ever"
Rachel was more than half asleep and quietly, and slowly whispered, "I love you too"
She would have the longest sleep that afternoon.
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
