Rachel felt panic rising in her chest while the air was knocked out of her lungs. She hurried into an isle in hope to escape him, praying that he won't see her. She relaxed a little and pushed her cart towards the end of the isle, bumping into another cart. She squeaked as her gaze met his face, but his eyes were focused on something else.

"I'm sorry...I...." The guy stammered, but stopped as soon as he looked up.

"Rachel?" He said in a low voice mixed with surprise and excitement. Her look immediately lowered to the floor and she swallowed hard.

"Finn....," she mumbled and looked back up again, catching a big smile on his face.

"Long time no see..." He took a step towards her and leaned down to wrap his arms around her. Rachel was frozen in place and it took her a couple of seconds to respond, wrapping her arms around his chest loosely. Finn's face brighten a little as she hugged him back.

"Yeah...has been...what....3 or 4 years?" She stammered and pulled away again, a small forced smile forming on her lips.

"Yes...we haven't seen each other...since the prom...." The last word echoed in both of their minds, bringing back memories that flushed both their cheeks. A rather uncomfortable silence settled between both of them, but Rachel was quick to act and broke it.

"Uhmm..well I gotta finish here....my dad is waiting in the car...." Her voice was quivering a little as she slowly starts moving.

"Well..I..would like to talk to you some more..." Straight to the point. That was Finn. Rachel smiled as he followed her around.

"So what have you been up to Rachel? I thought after High School you'd go to NYC and become this big star...." Rachel felt a little tug at her heart and she looked through the products on the shelves, avoiding his look at all cost.

"Yeah..well..my dads..you know..I told them I'd attend college here....NYC can wait....and I still have two years to go on college...So I don't know what's gonna happen and if my dreams work out." Finn was surprised at her words. He always expected she'd flee out of Lima and become the big Broadway star. He had already planned to see her in her first play.

"So how come you're back in Lima?" Rachel asked casually and put some stuff in her cart, pushing it towards the ice cream isle.

"Oh..well..uhm...," Finn stammered and sighed. He might as well tell her now.

"Quinn and I broke up....After I found out I wasn't the father of Audrey.....well..Puck is....so I uhm....transfered from Arizona back here...and I moved back in with my mom last week..."

Rachel stopped dead in her tracks. Finn didn't notice that and bumped into her, which caused Rachel to stumble a little and she tripped over her own feet. He caught her in time and wrapped his arms around her body, giving her support and stop her from falling. A shiver ran through Rachels body as she felt his arms around her body and she could smell him. He still smelled the same.

"Are you okay?" He asked with a hint of concern in his voice, helping her to stand up straight again. She nodded and looked up to him.

"I did not..expect that...," she pressed through her teeth. "I'm sorry to hear that...."

"I guess it's good I found out now....Audrey is young now...she won't remember me....so it's all good...." He sighed and started to walk towards the checkout.

"Yes..but still....you loved that little girl..." Rachel bit her lower a lip, feeling a ping of guilt in the pit of her stomach.

"I know...I thought she was my daughter....How should I know Quinn was just a selfish bitch...who used me and was close to ruining my future..." Rachel looked at him sharply. Finn wasn't the guy who used language.

"Sorry....but...it hurts...you know..," he muttered and looked away, seeing a little girl entering the supermarket followed by an older guy. His looked pained and Rachel followed his gaze, panic once again rising in her chest. She tried to hide behind Finn, but it was useless.

"Mommmmyyyyyy," the little girl squealed and ran towards Rachel with open arms. Rachel leaned down and opened her arms as well, picking her up. She kissed her cheeks and let her wrap her legs around her waist, holding her tightly in her arms.

Finn's chin literally dropped to the floor as he stared at Rachel. The information slowly sinking in and processing in his mind. A little girl, who looked a freakishly lot like Rachel just entered a supermarket and ran towards her, calling her mommy. It dawned on him. His head suddenly felt heavy and air left his lungs. Rachel was a mother. At the age of 21. His brain was reeling as he put together all the previous information and it all made sense now.

"I'm sorry Rachel...she was getting impatient so I told her we'd go look for mommy..." The man spoke and Finn slowly recognized him from a picture he had seen in the past. It was one of Rachel's fathers.

"It's okay daddy....don't worry....I was a little slow...I bumped into Finn...Hudson..." She answered her father, who had tensed up at the name he just heard.

"I see..Finn..yes...I remember...," he said sharply. Finn raised an eyebrow in shock and tried to say something, but as he opened his mouth no word formed on his lips. So he quickly closed it and looked down. Rachel shot a glare at her father, who nodded his head.

"Well, I'll leave you two alone...I see you forgot half of the stuff we needed anyway...You wanna come with me Fiona?" The man asked the little girl who was peeking at Finn, but turned her head as she heard her grandpa speak. She shook her head and hugged Rachel's neck tightly, so he simply turned around and left the three of them.

"Fiona? She's....," Finn rasped out and caught the attention of the little girl, who looked at him again with a shy smile on her lips.

"My daughter...yes....She's turning 3 in a couple of months." Rachel finished for him and turned her head towards her daughter, but she was focused on Finn.

"I....wow...I....didn't know...I mean...wait...3? That means you got pregnant around the time we graduated and...." He stopped talking quickly, his jaw dropping yet again. Rachel sighed and closed her eyes for a second, biting her lip really hard.

"Yes." Her voice was barely above a whisper and she buried her nose in the little girl's long brown hair.

"She's...I mean....I know you....." Finn stammered again, his lower body pulling together. He suddenly felt sick to his stomach. The feeling of dizziness returned as he gripped the cart tightly to hold his balance. This couldn't be. He looked at Rachel, than at the little girl and than back at Rachel. He swallowed hard and squinted his eyes.

"I..gotta go....," he mumbled and pushed his cart aside, quickly leaving the supermarket. Rachel sighed and hugged her daughter even tighter, pressing her lips against the side of her head, while a small tear ran down her cheek. The little girl noticed it and traced it with her tiny finger.

"Mommy..," she said with a small quite voice. Rachel shook her head and wiped her face, putting on a smile.

"Let's go find grandpa...."

A couple of days later Rachel was sitting in a rocking chair, her daughter curled up on her lap. She held a book in her hands and rocked the chair while reading. She wasn't really focused on the story and her daughter seemed to notice. She kept poking her to remind her she had to finish and after the 6th time Rachel gave up. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Finn, who she had seen a few days ago and haven't heard from since.

"I'm sorry honey...Mommy's not feeling to well...," she mumbled into her hair and kissed her head softly. The little girl tilted her head back to look up to her mom.

"It's okay...," she mumbled tiredly and took the book. Rachel smiled brightly at her and cradled Fiona in her arms, getting up from the rocking chair. She made her way towards the small bed with the pink bed sheets, putting her down.

"Sleep well honey..," she spoke as she kneeled down next to the bed, pressing her lips on her forehead. She pulled the covers up and caressed her cheek.

"Thanks mommy...," Fiona replied tiredly and closed her eyes. Rachel got on her feet again and turned on her night light, leaving the room.

"Hey....you look exhausted...," Rachel's father said as he came up the stairs.

"I haven't been sleeping very well lately..." She sighed and stepped closer to her father, wrapping her arms around his middle. He returned the hug immediately and kissed Rachel's cheek.

"I'll go back to work now..Your father and I will be home tonight for dinner.....and..I think you should call him or something...." Rachel raised her head in confusion and her father leaned down to kiss the tip of her nose, before he stepped out of the embrace and walked downstairs again, leaving the house. She knew he didn't mean her other dad.

Rachel looked after him and sighed. He always knew what was going on and he always knew what was best to do. So she walked downstairs to grab the phone and was about to dial a number, when there was a knock on the door. She frowned a little and moved over to the door, peaking through the curtains. Her breath got stuck in her throat as her hand found the door knob, opening the door.
