Today is the one year anniversary of my writings being posted on FanFic. I decided I was going to put this story on. It may not be what people were looking for, but it was what was coming to me. I have another story in the works, but it won't be up for a while. I guess all I can do is ask that you give this a chance. Thank you for those of you that have been so supportive. For those of you getting tired of my writing style, I'm sorry. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think.

Rachel never imagined things to go this way. Here she was sitting in the front seat of Finn's car. He was telling her to surrender and let him go. She just couldn't do that. It wasn't a possibility right now. She wanted New York more than anything, but things were about to change. Finn was going on and on. Rachel just couldn't take it anymore. She exclaimed, "Shut up! Just shut up!"
Finn's mouth shut. He just looked at her and she continued, "I can't surrender. I don't want to. Finn, things aren't going like you think they are. You are sitting here wanting me to give up on us. I don't want that. All I want is you. I want to be with you and our baby for the rest of our lives. I will give up everything to have you forever."
"Our baby?"
"I'm pregnant. Two months."
"Oh Rach."
"I'm not going to go off to New York and forget about you. I can't have you go off to war and put your life at risk. If you leave me I hope you realize that I am going to have our baby and raise them. You are going to have a little mini you out there somewhere. I want you to love me and to love our child."
Finn took Rachel's face in his hands. "I will always love you. I don't want you to give up on your dreams because of me and definitely not because of a child that we made out of love. I want to be in the baby's life."
"I want you to be in their life. I want you to be in my life. I love you more than anything in the world, Finn Hudson."
"I told your dads that it was over between us. Everyone else knew what I was going to do, too."
"Oh. Well, then I guess this is goodbye. I can send you a picture of the baby once a year and it will be like we don't exist. You can go on with your life."
"No! I don't want that! Your fathers don't want me with you. They are going to get you a place in New York. They won't get for you if you stay with me. You are going to need it for the baby. I will sneak to New York once a month to see you. It is all going to be okay. We are going to make this work. You are my world. You always have and always will be. That isn't going to change. We can handle things in secret for now. Once I can get money that will support us we can get married and be the family that we should be for our little one."
"I don't even want to pretend about breaking up with you and I definitely don't want to be apart from you."
"It's not forever baby. It is just for now. I'll talk you every night. I'll get you an iPhone and you can send me pictures all the time. I am going to miss you so much and it isn't going to be easy to be away from you, but for now it is what is best for you and the baby. There is no way I would be able to take care of the two of you with the little pay that I get from Burt. I'm going to go to decline the Army and go into the police academy. When I graduate I'll move to New York and hopefully get a job there. I'll do my very best to do it as quickly as it is possible."
"Finny, I don't want this. I only want you."
"Rach, we are going to make this work. I love you and that baby too much to just let you go like I had originally planned. I'll call you every night and I will get up there to see you as much as I can. I won't tell anyone about the baby unless I have to. I mean that is if you don't want them to know."
Rachel leaned over and kissed Finn. She didn't like this idea. She wanted him to say he didn't care and that they were in this together. She wanted him to get on that train with her and be with her when she needed him most. That just wasn't in their cards and it broke her heart.
"We really need to get out there. Everyone is waiting to say goodbye to you. As much as I want to keep you to myself I can't." The two of them got of the car in silence then. Finn carried her luggage for her and took her hand.
Rachel couldn't believe that they had all come. She wasn't expecting all of them. She hugged everyone. She got teary eyed hugging Puck and Mr. Shue for some reason. She wanted to put it off on hormones, but that wasn't it. They were important to her. So was everyone else there for her.
Quinn came up to her lastly. She hugged her and said, "I'll be seeing you. I'll take the train in and we can go shopping. Rach, you are meant to be in New York. That is just how it is supposed to be. You aren't going to be alone. You can come visit me, too."
Rachel sniffled and said, "I look forward to your visits, Quinn. I'll be seeing you." She whispered in her ear, "Watch out for Finn until you leave."
"Of course. I'll come see you the weekend I move in."
"I look forward to it."
"You are going to take New York by storm. We all knew you would. Now you get to go prove us right."
Rachel just smiled. They blew the whistle on the train letting passengers know that it was time to board the train. Rachel hugged Finn and kissed his cheek one last time not knowing when she would get to see him again. Then she got on the train without a word.
Rachel found her seat just in time. She looked out the window and watched Finn chase after the train with tears in his eyes as he ran his hardest to keep up until he couldn't any longer. Rachel looked out the window and blew him a kiss and mouthing I love you to him. He looked up and did the same.
Rachel got to New York and was amazed by what was going on around her. It was so busy and exciting just how she had imagined. She was both nervous and excited. She put her hand on her stomach and said, "Well baby, looks like we are home. We are going to make it. With or without your daddy. Hopefully with your daddy, but no matter what you will always have me." A wave of relief seemed to go over her and she just knew that everything was going to be okay.
She went on her way to meet her fathers. She was going to tell them about the baby and find the perfect place for the two of them and Finn if he ever came. She was determined to make things work for Finn, herself and her baby. She just never imagined things happening this way.
