To think, the past nine months were gonna be made worth it by this night. This was her second time going through this. She'd done it for Kurt and Blaine with the birth of their son. Now, her she laid, in a hospital bed in New York. Finn gripped her and she began to push. It hurt a lot less than she remembered. Yet, in what seemed like moments, Rachel was able to hold their daughter for the first time. She asked, with tears of joy in her eyes. "Finn sweetie what should we name her?"
Finn answered, as he looked down at his little princess, "She almost looks like sweet girl who was in glee club the first time I coached it." She agreed, "Oh my god she does look like Marley." Finn looked a bit perplexed, "Well, you picked her middle name, so I say first name wise, we just call her Marley." Rachel couldn't help her smile, "Ok then, Marley,Charlotte Hudson."
The next year and a half were utter bliss in the Hudson home. While Finn was at work, Rachel was home, reading to their little girl and keeping everything in order, It kept things well maintained. The best day of their family life, at least in Finn's mind came three days before Marley turned got home as usual. He found Rachel sitting in the living room, reading a story to Marley. "And they all lived happily ever after." Finn asked, "Anything new happen today sweetheart?" Rachel smiled wider than she ever had, "Marley said her first sentence, well phrase but still." Finn smiled and sat his bag down, before sitting with them. "What did she say?" Rachel looked at their little girl. "Will you say it for Daddy?" Marley spoke, her voice light and sweet. "Daddy tall." Those two simple words made him happier than he ever thought possible. "He sure is kiddo."
