"Uhm is this okay?"Finn asked
"It's perfect thank you Finn.."Rachel whispers Finn holds her tightly as she begins crying
"I know I'm suppose to say good things about Puckerman but he's an idiot you know..to let an amazing woman like you go like this...you deserve so much better than some guy who doesn't appreciate you...you know you deserve the world."Finn says

"I dont know maybe because of what happened that night at the Creek."Rachel says Finn takes a deep breath and looks at her
Flashback (Finn and Rachel have been spending a lot of time together since her breakup with Puck but no one really knew they kept it secret they had to reason to but they didn't want to start any drama so Finn took Rachel to the creek and taught her how to skip a rock)
"How do you not know how to skip rocks."Finn says
"I would never touch dirty rocks Finn..it's not sanitary."Rachel says Finn chuckles and holds a small rock in his hand and places in her hand
"What am I suppose to do?"Rachel asked
"Skip it...just toss it."Finn says Rachel nods and throws the rock but it just plops into the water Rachel pouts and Finn laughs and walks behind her
"Okay lets do this together, try flicking your wrist and let it go gently okay... "Finn says rubbing her arms and he takes her wrist and tosses the rock the rock skips 5 times and Finn smiles Rachel looks up at Finn's face and notices how close she is to him
"That was impressive for your first time."Finn says looking down at her
"What?"Finn asked Rachel leans on her toes and kisses Finn on the lips Finn is taken back a little but then his hands drop to her waist and he kisses her back
"We should go.."Finn says and walk back to the car
"You kissed me."Finn says
"And you kissed me back it's not like you quickly pushed me away."Rachel says
"You're right I didn't but I should have you and I won't ever work out Rachel."Finn says
"How do you even know if we don't get it a shot?"Rachel says
"Look your father has been cool enough to let me stay here with you guys okay...Im not going to fuck it up because you have a crush on me."Finn says
"So lets not hide anything what if we talked to my parents? Then we'd be free to see each other right?"Rachel asked
"You and I have nothing in common okay Rachel. Im rock and roll and your Broadway unicorns with cotton candy."Finn says
"You're not even giving this a chance Finn what if we're meant to be this epic love story...like Twilight..."Rachel says
"I dont even know what the hell that is..but NO Rachel we're not meant to be anything except two people who live in the same house."Finn says
"You forget..Im a Shuester and Rachel Shuester doesn't give up on what she wants. "Rachel says and kisses his cheek then leaves his room Finn rolls his eyes and falls on the bed Finn touches his cheek and smiles
~The next Day Finn is in the Kitchen with Emma Shuester as he helps her with the dishes Finn looks out the slide door and sees Rachel Kurt Tina and Santana practicing for their band~ Emma smiles and tosses a towel at Finn
"You okay there Honey?"She smiles
"Mrs. Shuester how do you know when you like someone."Finn asked
"Hmm...well you get nervous when you see then which some people call butterfiles and you can't help but smile at that person and become protective of them of course..."She says Finn nods

"Well if it were up to me I would love for Rachel to be with someone like you."Emma says Finn looks at her
"But Im a no body.."Finn says
"Finn Hudson you are not a no body. You are sweet charismatic, strong, kind hearted. You had everyone in your life leave you and we took you in because you needed a family...now I knew taking you in meant that you could either have feelings for Blaine or Rachel...and since you are not on Blaine's Team...well thats a good thing...because that means Rachel has a shot of ending up with an amazing man like yourself."Emma says
"Sorry Mrs S. But I can't date your daughter I mean..she's everything Im not..she's preppy and overly positive...I can't like her I wont like her...Mrs. Shuester no offense but if I like your daughter...shoot me."Finn says Emma smiles and pulls out a water gun from the drawer and pulls the trigger Finn looks at the wet spot now on his shirt
"You don't have to listen to me but Honey. You like Rachel and thats okay."Emma says Finn closes his eyes and rubs the back of his neck
"Excuse me for a second."Finn says and goes into the den Emma smiles and shakes her head
