A/N: This idea came to me randomly so please tell me if you want me to continue! This is Finchel Through the Years!!! Basically pretend Finn and Rachel knew each other since Elementary but drifted apart! Please Review!!!

Hirams POV

I look at back and forth from my handsome husband to my beautiful baby. I couldn't be happier. We had met Shelby 9 months ago when she put her ad in the paper for baby adoption and we knew this was right so we went for it, what could we loose, turns out this was the perfect plan, "I think we should call her Rachel" my husband Leroy said from beside me, "she looks like a Rachel" and I cried cause everything was perfect, just perfect!

We headed home to show Rachel her new home. When we got home we put Rachel down for her afternoon nap and decided to watch a movie, we decided on Dumb and Dumber and we knew we wouldn't get through that much of it, by the time they decided to go and return the suitcase we hear Rachel cooing in her room so I go get her and hush her but shes awake so we decide to play with her for a bit. This is gonna be harder than I thought.

Carole's POV

"Push Mrs Hudson, your almost there" the doctor says to me. i am pushing bitch, you try pushing a melon out your vagina then see if your telling me to push! I think to myself before pushing harder, all my nurses are like 20 and probably never had a baby so why the fuck are they telling me to push! Just then my husband barges in the door "I'm the dad" he says so he doesn't get kicked out of the room, he comes over to me and grabs my hand "you can do this baby" he says and with one final push he's out. He quickly gets cleaned off and is handed to me, I start to cry gently, this is my baby boy, I will stand by him, protect and care for him no matter what! Just then my husband lifts my head and kisses me lightly on the lips " I love you baby" he says to me, I smile " I love you too, what are you thinking about calling him?" I say "Finn" he replies, "it's perfect" I think out loud "Hi Finn Christopher Hudson" I say with a weak smile and he grabs my fingers. This baby is and will be perfect!

2 Months Later

Carole's POV

What happened to my life. Is this my life, a single mother. Really.

It's the day of Christopher's funeral and I'm in pieces, I gave Finn to my mum and came here, I can barely control myself. Christopher's parents never really liked me so they probably think I'm stealing 'their attention', well they can suck it! He was my husband, the father of my baby, this is his funeral he has the attention! not me, not his parents!

We are all sitting in the church grieving and waiting for the funeral to start. Just then the priest got up to start "Hello Ladies and Gentleman I am Revrend Lovejoy, I will be doing the ceremony today. We are gathered here today to moarn the loss of Christopher Hudson." I zoned out with grief and before I know it I have to do my speech, I get up on stage and try to start but no words come out, I eventually give up on my cue cards and go from the heart. "I loved Chris, Finn loves Chris but in a few years Finn won't even remember his dads looks. I will always remember his smile, his goofy sense of humour and his addiction... to family. Not the time for a joke I know. On the Tv I would see these things, people losing the loves of their lives, him being in the army it was inevitable I guess, I would always think about these things, closure mostly, how would they just forget, move on with life, in his favourite movie, Last Vegas, there is a guy who's wife died and I took him a year to get closure, he said when they were in Vegas ' I would give my left arm to be with my wife right now' that's where I am in my life, I would give my left arm to be with him again, for one more hug, one more kiss, one more night, anything, absolutely anything! I started to cry and went back to my seat. From this moment forward I solemnly swear to make sure nothing like this happens to Finn.

Leorys POV

She is honestly the most beautiful thing ever, me and Hiram have been trying to get Rachel to crawl for a couple of hours now, but she's not having it. I let her go when I hear Hiram calling for her from the other end of the room "come on baby, come to daddy!" We decided to call me Dad and Hiram Daddy, to make it less confusing who she is calling on. "Baby take Rachel I need to call Carole, make sure she's okay" I say to Hiram and he takes Rachel to her room. I quickly call Carole. In this town it's so small everyone knows everyone. She picks up on the 3rd ring and I can hear the hurt in her voice.

"Hello?" She says with a dry voice

"Hello Carole, it's Leroy, just checking how your doing"

"I honestly have no idea, I've been crying all day and can't control myself! Finns helping though, every time he sees me crying he does something funny to make me laugh, he has the best of Christopher, honestly."

"That's great Carole, about Finn I mean, any way Rach is doing good, I think she's getting the hang of crawling, maybe, we should meet up for a play date when your feeling better!"

"Sounds great Leroy, I gotta go though, Finns gotta go to bed, I'll see you soon!"

"Bye Carole" I say and hang up. I feel terrible for her, she's going through a lot! We need to help! Me and Hiram head to bed early that night thinking about Carole, she is probably lying in a bed full of tissues and broken pieces. God how is she gonna sleep tonight. Stop thinking and get your sorry ass to sleep Leroy!!!! Right mind me is right, get to SLEEP!!! Ahhh I can't so I grab my stuff quietly and head over to Carole's to comfort her, she needs me more than Hiram and Rachel do, Right?!
