Enjoy!

Finn sat in the airport his mother Carole seated beside him as they waited anxiously for Roger Hudson to arrive back from Iraq where he has been fighting the war that's been going on. The last time Finn saw his father was when he was 10 years old and that was 6 years ago. To say he was excited to see his dad again was an understatement.

He has so much to tell his father, he was quarterback for the football team, was in the glee club, and had some amazing friends.

It was hard to process at first that Roger Hudson was alive especially considering he has been pronounced dead for about 5 years now, but they said mix ups had been made, names had been switched, people went missing, Finn didn't really understand what had happened but he did remember finding his mom crying in the kitchen last week.

Finn walked through the front door humming don`t stop believing by journey. Trudging through the living room and into the kitchen he stopped at the doorway seeing his mother sitting at the table a box of Kleenex beside her, crying. He figured she wasn't over her break up with Burt yet who was Kurt`s father, one of his fellow glee clubbers. The two had been dating for about 9 months, even moving in together and possibly with the plan to get married and although Finn and Kurt had been a bit hesitant at first they eventually became to accept it. But Carole and Burt weren't quite ready to give up their lost significant other just yet and had agreed to part on good terms. Which caused Finn and his Mother to move back to their previous home. Even though it was on good terms and mutual it had still been upsetting for his mother.

"Finn. Honey take a seat" Carole said noticing him standing in the doorway and pulled out the chair next to her. Finn slowly walked over to join his mom at the table, He set his backpack down on the floor taking the seat next to his mother.

"I need to tell you something...something important" His mother seemed hesitant yet excited with the news, Finn thought maybe her and Burt got back together, but that didnt explain the tears.

"Its about your father" Finn sat up straighter wandering what brought his father up.

"Hes alive. Finn your fathers coming home" His mom smiled the tears beginning to well up in her eyes again.

Finn sat stunned, For years he had dreamed of this, a moment where his father was alive and that they would get to be that family they used to be. Where his dad would do all the things he promised to do with him like toss a football, coach his little league, talk about girls and sports. It was a bit late to do some things with his father but their were so many other things that they could do together.

Finn could feel his eyes well up at the thought of his family being pieced back together and felt himself be pulled into a hug by his mother. He let the tears fall as the two sat crying over what they thought to be a true miracle.

"Flight 209 had Just landed from Iraq, Flight 209"

Finn was broken out of his thoughts when he a heard the voice go through the airport.

"Thats your father`s plane"His mother said excitedly.

Finn stood up with his mother and could feel his heart pounding against his chest as the nervousness finally began to seep through him at the thought of finally being able to see his father and in just a matter of mere seconds. Finn glanced at the other war veterans being reunited with friends, family, and other loved ones.

"There he is!" Finn heard his mom squeal next to him excitedly and ran towards the man that would always hold her heart.

Finn couldnt help but go a little red as people looked at her running by them. He knew she had every right to be as excited as she was after all it was her husband a man she hasnt seen in 6 years and one that was presumed dead. But he was still a teenager who would get embarrassed easily by his mom.

Finn Hurriedly followed after his mother as he watched her hug his dad with tears coming down her face and a wide grin to mix. He watched as his dad hugged his mom back a bit stiffly he thought and watched when he pulled her in for a kiss. He drew closer and his mom drew back turning around to face him and pull him towards her and his dad.

"You know Finn of course" said Carole brightly.

Finn watched as his dad looked him up and down and Finn took that moment to take in his father himself. He noticed his dad seemed to stand tense and alert. He had a tired look to his face making him seem older than he actually was. All in all his dad hadnt seemed to change a whole lot, but their was something different about him that Finn couldnt seem to shake off.

"All grown up I see" He heard his father say Gruffly.

Finn nodded unsure of how to respond and walked towards his dad giving him a hug that was responded a bit tensely. Finn pulled back and shifted Uncomfortably and a uncomfortable silence settled over the three of them.

"Well why dont we grab your things and head home to get you settled" Said Carole breaking the silence.

Finn settled in the backseat of the car

"you still have this piece of crap" Roger remarked glancing down at the car with disgust.

Carole seemed a bit surprised at his remark and the look on his face but nodded her head.

Finn tuned out his Mother and Father and stared out the window as they pulled out of the parking lot of the airport. This was definitely not how he had pictured his reunion with his dad. He expected a few tears, maybe a " I miss You" instead he got a gruff remark and a tense hug and had barely exchanged any words since. Finn could feel his eyes stinging as he tried to hold in the tears he felt coming. After years of dreaming about a reunion with his dad this was definitely not how he wanted it to go.

"Finn!" Finn snapped out of his thoughts to see his father looking at him through the rear view mirror with a impatient look on his face.

"yea?" Finn asked

"I asked what. Kind. of. Things. do. You. Like. to. Do?" Finn frowned at the way his dad asked as if he was speaking to a child who didnt understand a math question and had to re explain it more slowly.

Finn sat up straighter happy to tell his dad about football, and glee shrugging of the way his dad asked the question.

"Well Im quarterback for the football team" Finn saw how his dads face seemed to be impressed by this and grinned.

"Im also in the glee club"

"Glee Club"? Finn saw his dads confused look.

"Yea, It`s like a club for singing, I thought it was kinda lame at first but now i actually kind of like it. Its really fun and everyone is great were like a family" Finn Said Excitedly.

" Well thats great son" Finn noticed how his dad frowned upon hearing that and ended the conversation there.

Finn lost the grin to his face and shrunk down in his seat.

His mother pulled into the driveway of the house and helped his father carry in his bags. Finn mumbled he was gonna take a nap in his room and collapsed on his bed.

I went back to Thinking about todays events and how they didnt go the lifetime movie way I had hoped for. I heard my moms bed squeak through the walls and giggle and dads hushed voice. I dont know why but that made me upset we havent even been home for an hour and already dad is getting action. No family dinner, no heart to heart moment of what we`ve been up to in 6 years. I grabbed my I-pod and blasted it in my ear and closed my eyes for rest but all i could see was my dads face and it suddenly clicked as to what made him look so different . It was his eyes they didnt hold that sparkle and laughter they used to, now they held a cloudyness to them and anger.

I remembered all the things he had promised me when i was kid coach little league, toss a football, and the things we used to do together play games, make forts, and he`d hug me and tell me he`d love me. But I didnt recognize this cold hearted version of my dad. I laid in Bed letting tears run down my face as I thought how different my life is gonna be now before drifting off to sleep.

So continue?
