Baby Come Home
I do not own Glee, Rachel Berry or Finn Hudson. They belong to Ryan Murphy, Brad Fulchuck, Ian Brennen and Fox TV. I do not own the song Baby Come Home. It belongs to Chester See and David Cho
This one shot was inspired by my new Muse Chester See's song of the Same title. This is set 6 years after Goodbye. Finn is in Afghanistan and Rachel is in New York. They were committed to long distance when Finn put her on the train, everything else is canon. Finn and Rachel have discussed what happens when his tour is up. Should he come home for good or if should re-enlist? Rachel Misses him and doesn't want to be without him anymore. Finn is conflicted. He's really good at his job and enjoys being a Marine, but he wants to be with Rachel and everything they've talked about for their future.
11/16/17 Hey readers,
I'm here just tightening up my stories. Omnihelix pointed out that I tend to switch tenses sometimes in the same sentence. I want to be a better writer and Omnihelix is one of the best and I trust that they will tell me the truth so I can be the best I can.
No major changes, some minor changes. Enjoy and I'm still working on the other stuff in the chute.
Honor the tether! Remember the drummer!
I woke up this morning
Your pillowcase I was holding
Is was only dreaming it was you
I tried my best to let it go
Something wouldn't let me though
I might have been pretending but it's all I can do
Another dream has jolted Rachel awake. She's holding the pillow he uses when he's home on leave. The faint smell of him is still present. Burberry body wash, cologne and Finn. She dreams of the day she'll meet his plane at JFK and he'll stay in New York with her, in their little shoebox apartment near the theater district for good. He will take his Army training and become a firefighter. She holds that damn pillow like he's there and she doesn't want to let him go. Something won't let her. She doesn't like that feeling.
I've tried wishing on stars
closing my eyes so hard
made deals, made vows, tried screaming out
She's home from her show and she's exhausted. She takes her chamomile tea and heads to the balcony. She likes nights like this when it's dark enough to see the stars. She looks up to find Finn Hudson. She picks the brightest one, because hard as she tries, she still can't read that damn star map. She closes her eyes and begs, makes deals with God or the devil she doesn't care. She vows to love him for the rest of her life. In the end she even screams "FINN!" She looks up to that same bright star and wonders if he's seeing it too.
In the Desert of Afghanistan Finn is thinking to himself, while out on parole with his platoon. "Tell me what to do. Is five years in the Army long enough to have redeemed the Hudson name?" Just then he sees a shooting star trailing in the sky toward the west. Is it a sign? He's not sure. Then he hears what sounds like Rachel. "FINN!" The blast is just ahead. He sees his men, falling in the desert night. He's tired. He's strong. He's awake. He's weak. He's here. He's there. He closes his eyes and begs, makes deals with God or the devil, he doesn't care. He vows to love him the rest of his life. He's ….. In that instant he knows what he needs to do.
Oh Baby come home
I can't go on without you here with me
Oh Baby come Home
the pain gets too strong without you I'm too weak
but nothing I do, Brings you back to me
She doesn't think it can get any harder than it has been. There are days she doesn't want to get out of bed, she been so tired lately. She has mornings when she's physically sick. The pain of his absence is making her weaker the longer it continues. No matter what she does or says, he always tells her "I have to make our name mean something. Our country still needs me baby." Will she ever be enough for him to come back to?
It's getting harder every single day
always thinking that I see your face
I feel you near, I hear your name everywhere I go
But when I realize it's in my head
it breaks my heart once again
it takes some time before it sinks in then I lose control
She tells Kurt and Santana she's seen him again. They tell her she's mistaken. Their tether has fooled her before. She can feel him and knows he's fine. She wishes she knew he was safe.
She sees his name everywhere. The Hudson River. The Hudson Library. The Hudson Valley and Hudson University. Every time her heart breaks just a little more and it's overwhelming. Her friends let her break down and then build her back up. They even make sure she is taking care of herself. Like making her eat, even though she can't keep it down. Their love helps give her the strength to get through the separation.
So I'm done wishing on stars
closing my eyes so hard
no more deals, no more vows, I'm done screaming out
"I don't think I can do it anymore Finn. It hurts too much." She tells him through the crackling satellite phone. "There are no more deals to be made. No more prayers to be heard. I can't scream anymore. I need you home."
"I know babe, I know. Soon though."
"Soon is not enough. Finn, I-I'm...I...just love you." She hangs up. She knows she should have told him. But she wants him home because he wants to be home, not out of an obligation. She feels nothing in the moment. There are no more tears to be shed. She doesn't know how to feel about that.
Oh Baby come home
I can't go on without you here with me
Oh Baby come Home
the pain gets too strong without you I'm too weak
but nothing I do, Brings you back
"Hold tight Baby. Hold tight." Finn says into a disconnected reciever. "As long as I have you, I'm always home." He sends out through the night air.
Time told me it will be alright
I'm not gonna lie, I'm losing this fight
and Time told me she'll heal all my wounds
as deep as I'm cut no I'm not healing soon
Time is an ugly word. "In time you won't hurt." "In time you will be too busy to miss him." "He'll only be gone for a little while." "Time will fly by, you'll see.". These are the things her friends and family tell her, thinking they are of comfort. She feels like time is stealing their life together. Time is a dream thief.
She feels like her fight for them is slipping away with every tick of the clock. All the wounds are still open, real deep and time is not the healer. Finn next to her, in this with her is the only way to heal.
Oh Baby come home
I can't go on without you here with me
Oh Baby come Home
the pain gets too strong without you I'm too weak
but nothing I do, Brings you back to me.
Rachel is on the sofa with a glass of cider reading the script she got today. She got the role of her life. She is Fanny Brice. She's happy and sad. She needs to share it with Finn. But he's still not home. She nor his mom have heard from him in a while. It was not unusual with his job in the Marines. Being a specialist often times he would be out of communication range for months. But this was Fanny. She needsto tell him.
She turns her iPod to her latest obsession. Her head lay back against the soft neck of the sofa. There's a knock on the door. She looks at the clock it almost ten. Who could be coming round this late? Everyone knows that she has rehearsals in the morning. She gets up a bit annoyed at being disturbed. She reaches for the door knob, she opens the door. Shock and then a huge smile adorn her face when she sees who it is.
"Baby, I've Come Home." He picks her up while the tears rolling down her cheeks. He'll be staying he doesn't have to say it, she knows. She winds her legs around his waist and arms circle his neck. She will never let him go again. They reach the bedroom and she's kissing him. She really hasn't stopped since she opened the door. No words are needed. The need for physical contact out weight the need for verbal communication. She'll talk his ear off in the morning.
She finds the hem of his Army Strong t-shirt. "Accurate description." she tells him as she is running her hands up his chiseled chest pulling his shirt above his head. He gladly sheds his shirt then grabs hers and does the same. He sees her perky perfect round breast, appreciatively he takes the left into his hand squeezing ever so gently. His mouth meets her right nipple causing it to pebble up from his attention. He tugs the nipple with his teeth lightly. She moans. He moans. Their clothes are thrown throughout the room. Rachel in her panties. Finn in his boxer briefs, doing a poor job hiding his painfully hard manhood. He wants to be inside her now. He pulls her close and captures her for a searing kiss. She lays on the bed pulling him with her. She wraps her hand around his neck capturing his lips with her own. He manages to pull the panties from Rachel's body. Her smoking hot body. 'Something is different.' he thinks. She removes his briefs and he is poised at the entrance of the promise land. He's been waiting for months to be reunited.
He kisses down her neck out to her jaw and lips. He finds her collar bone and nips tiny kisses across from arm to arm. He stops by to see the girls once more. Following them up with a trip to her belly. He lays kisses to her stomach. Whoa! She's got a little pot belly. He runs his hand along her slight belly. It dawns on him, he was home two months ago, to deliver the news to his soldier's parents that their son died bravely. Finn got to stay overnight. Nowhere he'd rather stay than with Rachel. They made love throughout the night (Fuck it I'll sleep on the plane he thought at the time.) He stops his kisses and slowly raises his head to his love and she has small tears in her eyes as she nods. His baby, his baby daughter or baby son is growing inside this beautiful woman. He kisses his baby and goes back to loving his or her mamma.
Finn can't take it any longer he whispers "I love you!" before pushing into her. He fills her and she shifts to adjust to his size. 'God I've missed this man' she says to herself. He slowly starts to move. Gingerly setting a rhythm they've perfected together over their years. He pushes, he thrust, he pulls out and back in again. She moaning "mmm so good" he dives back deeper into the loving core of his woman. "Missed you so much, Rach" He pushes, she juts her hips to meet his making the angle for him to hit the spot. "There baby, right there. Don't stop, Finn don't, stop!" She is panting, he's breathing, she's heaving, he's thrusting and they're so close. Her walls start to flutter around Finn's dick and he feels his own release trying to escape. He thrust once more hitting where she needs to send her over the falls and into ecstasy. The feeling of her dripping around him sends him over with her. He releases hard. Panting, he doesn't want to leave her but he's afraid he'll hurt her and the baby if he puts his weight on her. She pulls him closer, kissing him, showing him its' okay.
"Hey Husband." Rachel says after stealing another kiss
"Hello, my wife." Finn gives her another in return.
He kisses her once more. He missed his wife so much he's hard again. Plunging into her once more. Rachel gasps at him entering her again."I'm Home." he moans into her mouth. "Thank you for Coming home." she closes her eyes and enjoys the deliciousness of her husband filling her over and over.
'He came home.' she smiles as he brings her to climax once again.
Reviews make me real happy.
