Chapter 1
21st December 2022
"Rach? Rachel, you here?" Finn shouted as he walked through the front door of the 1300-square foot loft they had just moved into after Rachel's promotion. It had three bedrooms and an open plan kitchen and living room that overlooked central park. Rachel and Finn had fallen in love with it the moment they saw it. He threw his keys into the bowl and took his coat off throwing it on to a nearby chair. He knew Rachel would yell at him for it as she was a bit of a clean freak, but Finn had had a long day at The Jets Head office where he worked as a sports marketer, so he didn't care at this moment.
"Bedroom" Rachel yelled back, Finn made his way to their bedroom. Once there he expected to see Rachel packing as they had to leave soon but instead he found her lounging on the bed reading a magazine. She had taken the day off work because she hadn't been feeling well so she had no excuse in Finn's eyes for why she wasn't ready to go.
"Babe I hope you have packed we have to leave soon" Finn explained getting out his own packed case from the wardrobe.
"Well I've been thinking about that and I've decided... We shouldn't go" Rachel told him, flipping a page in her magazine.
"Rachel we've been through this, we have to go they are expecting us"
"I'm sure they will deal with the disappointment... according to them they have had good practice" Rachel reasoned, instead of responding Finn took the magazine off Rachel and lifted her up from the bed and into his arms.
"Now unless you want me to pack for you which we both know you hate because you say I don't do it right and then carry you there which we both know I can do, you'll man up and do it yourself" Finn only half joked as he carried Rachel over to their wardrobe and got her suitcase out while still holding her.
"Okay you loser put me down" Rachel laughed, once down she gave Finn a kiss and then began to pack. As Rachel packed Finn took off his shirt and tie and put on plain white t shirt and his thick grey jumper but left his work slacks on as he'd already packed his jeans.
"I hope you know what you're getting yourself in for, it's going to be a long and hellish 5 days" Rachel explained as she fastened up her case.
"I think your being a bit dramatic" Finn laughed, he grabbed both their suitcases as Rachel grabbed their smaller bags, they both made their way to the living room although Rachel was being as slow as she could.
"Don't make me pick you up again" Finn joked Rachel just sighed, grabbed her keys and handbag, and walked out the door with Finn.
"This is a huge mistake, HUGE! And what have I told you about leaving your coat on the chair" Rachel exclaimed stomping her way down the stairs to prove how much she didn't want to go.
"Come on Rachel they're just your parents" Ignoring Rachel's comment about his coat. She'd always been dramatic and while Finn knew she was nervous about seeing her parents for the first time in years he also knew she would eventually suck it up and do it as the Rachel Berry he loved never backed down from a challenge.
Rachel and Finn lived in the loft apartment on the Upper East Side, New York City. Finn was a born and bred New Yorker, but Rachel had moved there 9 years ago for college from Lima, Ohio and hadn't be back since... until now.
Rachel and Finn had been together 6 years after meeting in their last year of college at NYU when Rachel had throw up all over Finn at a frat party after her friend Santana had got her drunk. They had been living together for 4 years and 10 weeks ago Rachel had found out she was pregnant. Both of them had been thrilled with the news and had spent all weekend celebrating until Rachel realised she would have to tell her parents. This then brought a week of moaning and complaining and the occasional morning sickness from Rachel until Finn finally convinced her that they should make the trip down to tell them. It would also be Christmas which was an added bonus (for Finn) and nightmare (for Rachel) as all her siblings would be there as well.
Finn was excited to go because even though they were in a long-term relationship Finn had never met Rachel's parents. She had met his numerous times, but he'd never had the pleasure. Rachel had always said she was protecting him as she didn't have the best relationship with them, but Finn was still excited to see where she had come from. Rachel had never liked to talk about her past and Finn had never pushed it with her, so he was glad he was finally getting the chance to find out.
What Finn had figured out about Rachel is that she'd always hated living in Lima so the first chance she got to leave she packed her bags and never looked back. This also meant she didn't really speak to her parents except for the odd phone call once a month which were usually only ever five minutes long. Rachel's mother didn't understand why Rachel put her career ahead of having a family like she had done, and Rachel even believed that even though she was now starting her family her mother would find a reason not to be okay with it.
Finn put their bags in the boot of the rental car he'd got for the week and then helped Rachel in to the front seat. He'd been extra protective of her since he found out about the baby and Rachel loved the extra attention. Once they were both in Finn set off from the city they both loved to Rachel's childhood home she claimed she hated.
Four hours later Finn and Rachel finally entered Lima, Ohio. Finn found it to be a nice town as they drove through it; it seemed to have a real charm to it. He saw people waving to one another, children playing in the street and a general nice atmosphere that Finn hardly ever saw in New York.
"Okay so I feel like I should go over a few things about my family" Rachel declared putting her book away into her new Michael Kors bag, Santana had bought her when she told her she was pregnant not the kind of gift she expected but her best friend had always been a little unusual.
"Okay hit me" Finn replied as her turned on to Rachel's long street that was filled with old colonial town houses that had been re-done with paint works and manicured lawns and white picket fences. It looked like a street from the 1950's complete with Christmas decorations everywhere you looked, they were major scenes in almost every garden as well as, so many Christmas lights Finn couldn't directly look at any house.
"My mom is very religious woman who spends every chance she can at church usually remedying for the sins her children have made. She can be very judge mental and will criticise you very openly so watch out for that. My dad will only talk to you about two thing sports or fishing so if you have nothing to say on either he won't talk to you, don't take it personally though I don't think he's had a conversation with my brother Blaine since Blaine was 11"
"Good thing I know a lot about sports" Finn smiled, Rachel just gave him a look and continued on her rant.
"Quinn, my older sister, is the carbon copy of my mom in every annoying way. She's married to Sam who she met in college and no he's not depressed his face always looks like that, they have three kids, a girl and two boys who are very prim and proper for kids my mom's favourite the kids she wished she'd had" Finn just smiled at Rachel as she continued on her rant without taking a breath. Finn pulled up outside what he knew was Rachel's house from the pictures he'd seen as she continued.
"Noah is the second oldest and the bane of my parent's life after he got a girl pregnant at nineteen and then didn't marry her, they were so embarrassed we had to move church's which of course was a big deal to them and to the town. He's now working in a bar and shares custody of his sixteen-year-old daughter, he thinks he's a badass, but he can be a softie as well"
"You know your family can probably see us outside" Finn interrupted smirking at Rachel as he pointed to the window.
"Quiet I'm nearly finished, Artie is the middle one, he's married to Tina, who I love, and they have a boy and a girl. They are actually normal and I'm sure you'll like them and then there's Blaine, who you have actually met so you know him okay I think I'm done" Rachel looked over to Finn once she had finished who was just smiling at her.
"I'm surprised it's not time for you to have the baby after that long explanation" Finn joked as they both got out of the car and grabbed their bags.
"Laugh now but I'm just trying to prepare you for what's inside that house" Rachel said waving her hand towards the large house.
"Okay fine, is that everything?" Finn asked taking the smaller bags off Rachel as well, so she wouldn't have to carry anything.
"Yeah pretty much oh except... If you don't mention that we live together that would be great" Rachel lightly pleaded she knew her mom would have a heart attack if she found out Rachel was living with Finn and having a baby and not getting married. They needed to pick the right time to tell her, Rachel was thinking of doing it five seconds before they were going to leave.
"Okay fine" Finn put his arm around Rachel and lifted her up of her tiny feet kissing her passionately. Once he put her back down he gently rubbed her stomach and while it was still flat Finn had been doing it more and more.
"Rachel, I love you and nothing that happens inside that house is going to change that. Your family is never as bad as you think"
"Trust me this one is... But thank you I love you too" Rachel quickly kissed Finn and then they began to walk to the front door.
"Okay here we go straight into the lion's den"
As soon as Finn and Rachel entered the house, they were hit by the noise. The children were playing in the living room, the men were in the den shouting at the television and the women were in the kitchen baking for what Rachel's guessed was the annual Christmas party the family had on Christmas Eve. They were so wrapped up in what they were doing that none of them noticed Rachel and Finn were there.
Finn left their bags in the hallway and followed Rachel into the living room. It hadn't changed since the last time Rachel had seen it six years ago. It still had three couches all facing the big television that hung above the wood fireplace in the middle of the room and covering three walls were photos of Rachel, her siblings and her nieces and nephews in various stages of their lives all in pristine wood frames and a giant cross on the other, along with a worn bible and fishing magazines on the coffee table. It was a very plain and simple room just like Rachel's parents.
"Aunt Rachel!" The eldest of all the children shouted, running towards her aunt, hugging her tightly.
"Hey Beth" Rachel replied hugging her niece back. "Finn this is Noah's very grown up daughter Beth"
Beth smiled at Finn; just as two little kids came running over.
"Hey Henry, Harriet" Rachel smiled bending down to hug her other niece and nephew.
"These are Artie's and Tina's trouble makers" Rachel explained tickling both their bellies as the twins smiled at Finn.
"Auntie Rachel is this your boyfriend?" Harriet asked smirking as she empathised the word boy.
"This is my boyfriend yes" Rachel answered standing back up and looking around the decorated living room.
"Where are SJ, Brent and Rose?" Rachel asked referring to her sisters Quinn's three children.
"They are round there doing a Christmas work book, aunt Quinn is making them do it, uncle Noah threw ours in the bin" Rachel's five years old nephew explained laughing cheekily as the three of them went back to watching the film they had previously been watching.
Rachel decided to talk to them later and went in search of her father with Finn on her tail. Once she reached the den she saw her father, 3 brothers and brother in law all sat around watching a football game beers in hand. Just like the living room, the den hadn't changed either. Because this was mostly her father's room, it was covered in sport memorabilia on the walls with lounge chairs once again all facing the giant television and against one wall was the always stocked bar.
"Hey dad" Rachel shouted over the telly, everyone turned when they heard her voice and jumped up to hug her.
"Rachel your finally here" Will her father said hugging his daughter tightly, they hadn't seen each other in at least 3 years but he hadn't changed at all. He still wore the same jeans and chequered shirt combo and his blonde curly hair was still thinning on top.
"Dad this is Finn" Rachel said moving to the side so Will could get a better look at him. He looked the tall man up and down a d stuck out his hand.
"It's nice to meet you sir" Finn said shaking the older man's hand.
"You too Finn, Rachel's told me a lot about you... You like football? you should watch the rest of the game with us" Will answered going back to his seat as Rachel's three brothers all hugged her at once.
"Our favourite sister has finally returned" Artie lightly joked as they all squeezed the life out of Rachel.
"I'm happy to see you guys as well" Rachel laughed as they finally let her go. "This is Finn"
"Nice to meet you Mate" Noah said as all three of them shook his hand
"Nice to meet you too"
"And that's Sam, Quinn's husband" Rachel said pointing to Sam who was still sat in his chair he just smiled and waved at the pair and Finn could see what Rachel meant about his face, he looked like he was either going to scream or cry at any minute.
"You seen mom yet?" Blaine asked smirking; out of all them Rachel had the tensest relationship with their mother.
"Not yet, she in the kitchen?" Rachel asked, all three of them just nodded their heads and went back to their seats to watch the rest of the game.
"When you met the missus, Finn come back and watch the game with us" Will told him again not looking up from the screen. Finn just nodded his head even though Will couldn't see him and followed Rachel in to the kitchen. Where he could see three women all baking away while Christmas Carol's played in the back ground.
"Hey mom" Rachel said cautiously as they walked in, all three ladies looked up but only one of them moved over to them.
"Rachel you're finally here" Tina squealed hugging Rachel so tightly she actually lifted Rachel off her feet. "I've missed you so much!"
"I've missed you too Tina" Rachel replied as Tina eventually let go, they both looked towards Quinn and Shelby Rachel's mom who had yet to say anything.
"Nice to see you've finally joined us Rachel, I was thinking you'd changed your mind" Shelby finally said as she continued to knead the dough on the kitchen island.
"I told you I'd be here mom" Rachel muted already annoyed, she hadn't seen her mom in three years and that's the first thing she says to her.
"Anyway mom, Quinn this is Finn" Rachel continued smiling up at Finn.
"Nice to meet you" they both said in union continuing to bake only looking at Finn for a second before looking back at the dough.
"We've heard so much about you Finn" Tina enthused hugging Finn, she knew what Shelby and Quinn were like as remembered the first time she had met the family and she would do what she could to make Finn feel a little less uncomfortable.
"I've heard a lot about you all as well; Mrs Berry I heard you cooking is legendary" Finn spoke seeming unfazed by Quinn and Shelby's rudeness.
"Thank you Finn" Shelby replied, realising they weren't going to get any more from there, Rachel decided to leave.
"I think we are going to un pack" Rachel declared pulling Finn from the kitchen.
"Hold on Rachel just a reminder only married couples sleep together in this house, so Finn you'll sharing with Blaine and Rachel you're in your old room with Beth" Shelby explained as she began to shape the dough around to make her cross bread.
"Mom I'm 28, we've been together for 6 years" Rachel tried to reason as Finn looked on amused.
"I'm aware of how old you are Rachel having been the one to give birth to you but until your married it's not going to happen in this house" her mother explained, Rachel just huffed and stomped up stairs with Finn following behind
"10 minutes here and you've already turned back into a teenager" Finn laughed as he looked around his girlfriend's old room. It had posters of old bands on the wall of pink flowered wall paper with a neatly made bed and cot bed squeezed into along with the old-fashioned wood furniture.
"Why isn't this bothering you, I mean we live together we share a bed every night..."
"Which your mother doesn't know" Finn interrupted as he planted himself on one of the made-up beds.
"That's not the point Finn why aren't you more annoyed that for 4 nights you're going to be sharing a room with my brother" Rachel complained, Finn grabbed her hand and pulled her on to the bed with him, she sat in between his legs as he rested his hands on her stomach.
"I am upset but I want to be respectful, this is your parents house and besides I kind of think you just want to find a reason to be mad at them" Finn reasoned, when Rachel didn't say anything he knew it meant she thought he was right. Both were silent for a few minutes just enjoying being together when Rachel's phone rang, she jumped up to answer thinking it might be work and hoping for some emergency that would mean she could go home.
"It's Santana" Rachel told Finn, trying to not sound too disappointed that it wasn't in fact work that could drag her from hell.
"Then I'm leaving to go bond with your dad and brothers or bake with your mom and sister" Finn said not wanting to hear what the girls usually talk about. Rachel just smiled at Finn's retreating body and answered the phone.
"I'm in hell" Rachel answered falling onto her bed.
"You've been there 10 minutes" Santana snipped back.
"I spent 18 years here, so I already know it's hell, I don't know why I'm here" Rachel began to trace patterns on her exposed stomach, she couldn't wait to see it grow, knowing that hers and Finn's child was growing as well.
"Your there because after 6 years it's time Finn see's where you're from and it's time you put on your big boy pants and tell your parents you're up the duff"
"You put it so nicely" Rachel remarked sarcastically
"Come on Rachel, me, Kurt and Finn's parents will be there in a few days" Finn had had the idea that his family come down for the Christmas Eve party so that the families could finally meet and the two could share their news. Rachel had hated the idea but had gone along with it knowing how important it was to Finn that both families got along.
"I know but I've been here 10 minutes and already my mom has been rude to Finn and Quinn wouldn't even look at him"
"Finn knew it was going to be like that, you told him enough times, but he went anyway. You've got a good one its going to be fine"
"Urgh I guess your right"
"When am I not" Rachel could hear Santana's smirk down the phone.
"So why did you ring me?" Rachel asked, "I can imagine it was just to annoy me"
"Oh, I just wanted to make sure you had at least one single brother or I'm not coming"
XoXoXoXoXoXo
Finn shyly waited by the door of the den, Will, Sam and Rachel's brothers were all in the same potion watching the football, although Blaine now looked bored out of his mind. Finn wasn't sure if he should just walk straight in and sit down luckily for Finn the choice was made for him.
"Sit down new boy, have a drink" Noah said handing Finn a beer as he sat in the couch with Blaine.
"Thank Noah"
"Please call me Puck, only Rachel and my mom call me Noah" Puck informed him not taking his eyes off the football game.
"Okay, why Puck?" Finn asked Blaine when he saw Puck was no longer listening.
"He played Hockey in high school and the name kind of just stuck" Blaine answered, Finn could see how bored he was watching football and was wondering why he put himself through it.
Once an advert came on, the men all turned around in their lounge chairs to face Finn. He tried to not show his nerves at the interrogation he was no doubt going to get. He figured with a ex army father and three brothers it was inevitable. Not that Finn minded Rachel had got the same thing when she had met his mom and dad, lucky for her she already knew his brother.
"So, Finn where about's do you live" Puck asked first not knowing that it was with Rachel.
"On the Upper West Side" Finn answered hoping he wouldn't have to go any further as he had never been a good liar.
"Good relationship with your family?" Blaine asked next,
"Great yeah, you'll all meet them Christmas Eve you'll love them" Finn answered again.
"Play any sports?" Artie then asked
"I play a little football"
"So, Finn what do you do for a living?" Will asked him as soon as he had answered Artie's question
"I'm in sports marketing"
"And what exactly is sports marketing" Will asked confused
"I do advertising for the New York giants and there players. I sort out billboards, adverts and stuff like that to promote the team and the stadium" Finn explained trying not to sound too nervous.
"So, have you met any of the players" Puck asked as he and Artie leaned forward becoming more interesting.
"Yeah, I've meet all of them I have to be there on like commercials and stuff, I handle their endorsements deals along with their agents"
"That is so COOL!" Artie exclaimed as Puck and Will nodded in agreement.
"Thank you" Finn smiled not sure what else to say.
"So, this means if you stay with our sister, you would eventually give us free tickets" Puck enquired. Will smacked him on the head but then looked at Finn waiting for an answer.
"Yeah, I guess I can do that" Finn agreed, truthfully Finn was allowed five tickets every game, so it wouldn't be hard to get them, but he wanted his new family to know he was willing to make the effect.
"That's awesome" Rachel walked in at that moment to see them all circling Finn.
"Hi guys!"
"Rachel did you know that Finn works with the giants how cool is that" Puck proclaimed,
"I did know that, it's amazing what you find out about someone after six years of dating" Rachel replied sarcastically. Before Puck could come up with a witty remark their mother came on covered in flour.
"Okay people off your butts, everyone needs to go up stairs and change we leave for the restaurant in 30 minutes" Shelby lectured, Rachel grabbed Finn's hand and followed her brothers out of the room knowing better than to argue with their mom when she was in one of her moods.
"What do you think of him?" Shelby asked her husband once her children had left.
"He can like sports and works in football, what more can we ask for?" Will replied
"For god sake Will, there's a lot more to ask for"
XoXoXoXoXo
"So how you doing babe? You ready to leave yet?" Rachel asked as her and Finn got ready in her old room.
"Rachel I'm fine, your dad and your brothers were nice" Finn replied buttoning up his white shirt and tucking it in to his Ralph Lauren Black slacks Rachel had made him buy when she decided his butt looked good in them.
"Probably because you told them you worked for the giants" Rachel said amused, she put on her black leather skater skirt and black heels with a loose fitted white top and gold necklace, thankful she wasn't showing yet.
"You probably right about that but I'll take what I can get" Finn grabbed his jacket and sat on the bed waiting for Rachel.
"I'm sorry about my mom ..." Rachel started
"Rachel it's probably just going to take time that's all, give your mom the benefit of the doubt" Rachel smiled and walked over to Finn positioning herself between his legs.
"Why are you always so sweet?" Rachel asked as she leaned into Finn wrapping her arms around him.
"You saying it's a bad thing?" Finn mused; Rachel kissed Finn passionately, playing with his hair as she did.
"No!" Rachel replied when they came up for air. She pulled herself off Finn grabbed his hand and made her way it of the door. Once they reached the hallway they saw everyone else there waiting for them.
"Aunt Rachel I love your skirt" Beth enthused as everyone made their ways to the cars.
"Don't you think it's too short Rachel" Shelby lectured once they were all outside going to the cars.
"Yes, I do just how I like it" Rachel smirked getting into the front seat of hers and Finn's rental. Shelby huffed and slammed her own door to show she wasn't happy.
"Dad please can I ride with Aunt Rachel" Beth pleaded, given that her father rode a motorbike she would have to ride with someone anyway and Rachel had always been her favourite as she would give her the best birthday and Christmas presents and was a lot cooler than her Aunt Quinn in Beth's eyes.
"Course sweetie, Rach that okay" Rachel just nodded, so Beth jumped in the back seat which made Henry and Harriet want to as well, so Finn helped them all into the back and got in himself. Quinn's three were already in the back of their parent's car growing inpatient that they hadn't set off yet just like their mother and grandmother.
"We done now" Quinn asked tapping her foot as Tina and Artie got into their car along with Blaine.
"Yes, un bunch your knickers Quinny we're going" Puck joked putting on his helmet. One by one the cars drove out of the drive way towards the restaurant.
"This car is sooooo nice Aunt Rachel, there's a telly in the back" Beth enthused pushing all the buttons in the back seat delighting her young cousins as the windows opened and closed. "you guys have the coolest stuff"
Finn looked towards Rachel and smirked "At least I know your nieces and Nephews like me"
"Trust me that's all you need"
As Finn pulled into the restaurant he saw they were the last ones there. He pulled up besides Puck's motorbike and then helped Henry and Harriet out of the car. They didn't want to let go of him, so Finn carried them both towards the door with Rachel at his side. Rachel smiled at the scene. She knew he was going to make a great father, he'd only been around her niece and nephew two hours and they already loved him.
"Looks like Finn has some admires" Tina quipped as they all walked inside.
"He's been really good with them" Rachel agreed.
"It's good practice for you too" Tina smirked winking at Rachel. Rachel wondered for a second if Tina knew their secret, but the hostess came over before Tina could say anything else.
"The Berry's! Such a pleasure to have you all here! Let me take you to your tables" the hostess grabbed the menus and led the family to the back of the room.
The Berry's had been going to the restaurant since Rachel and her siblings were kids. It was a family run Italian Restaurant that even Shelby had approved on, so it had always been the go to place for the family.
The adults helped the children sit down then sat on the table next to them, as they were too many of them to sit together. The hostess passed them all a menu and returned to her booth. Nobody spoke for a while as they looked through the menus. Finn noticed that Rachel looked a little nervous and he could see her leg shaking under the table. Finn rested his hand on her knee and sent her a reassuring smile.
"We'll if it isn't the Berry family" came a voice behind Finn; he turned around to see one of the chef's walking towards them.
"Jesse how lovely to see you!" Shelby jumped up from the table to hug him. Rachel seemed to get even more nervous as she sent a dirty look towards her mother. Will shook his hand as everyone else just nodded at him.
"Hello Rachel, I didn't know that you were back in town" Jesse smiled towards Rachel who was looking at the table and not at him.
"Yes, Rachel is here for Christmas... With her friend Finn" Will, Puck, Blaine, Artie and Tina all shook their heads in disapproval at Shelby's use of the word friend and it made Rachel finally look up from the table to shot her mother another dirty look.
"Actually, Finn is my boyfriend going on six years... We live together" Rachel saw her mother's face turn to stone at her words and she knew she was going to pay but after what her mom said she didn't care.
"Six years but wouldn't that mean..." Jesse started before he was cut off by Blaine.
"Well Jesse shouldn't you be getting back to the kitchen we are almost ready to order"
"Of course, I'll send over a waiter" Jesse said quietly walking back to the kitchen. Shelby sat down slowly shooting daggers at her youngest daughter.
"So, when were you planning on telling me and your father you moved in with Finn?" Shelby demanded as everyone else looked on.
"Did you not get my postcard" Rachel quipped,
"Try and act you age Rachel" Shelby snapped back catching the attention of the table next to them. Which Rachel knew would only make her mother angrier. Everyone else was paying attention to what the kids wanted to eat and act like they weren't listening to the fight that would definitely happen.
"Me act my age, what was that talking to my ex in front of Finn" Rachel accused staring straight at her mother.
"Please Rachel! Brody is a family friend"
"Really you guys are so close to him, when was the last time you spoke to him?"
"Rachel now is not the time!" Shelby exclaimed trying her best not to raise her voice again.
"Why don't you answer the question" Rachel smirked knowing full well what the answer would be Blaine had told her that the family hadn't seen Brody in over two years and that he'd only just moved back to town.
"Pack it in you two" Will snapped at his wife and daughter just as the waiter came over, he took everyone's order and quickly left noting the tension on the table. Nobody said anything for a few minutes except for the kids on their own table.
"So, Finn how did you meet our little sister" Artie asked after another few minutes of silence.
"The last year of college I walked her home and stayed with her all night after she got very dr... merry at a party" Finn explained to the amusement of Puck, Artie, Tina, and Blaine.
"Who knew our sister got ... merry" Puck joked nudging his sister in the side, he noticed the look of disappointment on his mother's face but just like Rachel he was used to the look and didn't care.
"Last year of college you say Finn" Quinn asked with a knowing smile
"Yeah, the last year, November I think, right Rach?" Finn looked over to Rachel who was looking at her sister a little uneasy.
"Really September, in your last year of college, so that would mean..."
"That me and Finn meet in November in senior year well done Quinn, can we change the subject now" Rachel replied sarcastically sending an evil look towards her sister.
"Why don't we try and have a nice family dinner" Will suggested when he noticed the tense looks between Quinn and Rachel.
Puck scoffed then smirked at Rachel and Quinn "We have to all have dinner with different people then"
XoXoXoXoXoXo
"So that was fun" Finn mused a little sarcastically as he walked into Rachel's room with her once they were home.
"In know I'm sorry about Jesse and my mom"
"It's okay Rachel really" Finn tightly hugged Rachel kissing her forehead.
"I should probably go before Beth comes in" Finn reasoned pulling away but Rachel pulled him back in.
"Just a few more minutes"
"Okay, so is there anything else I should know about you and Jesse just so there are no surprises" Finn asked as the couple continued to hug in the middle of Rachel's room. Rachel hesitated for a few seconds before answering.
"Nope nothing"
"What you doing?" Beth laughed as she walked into the room, after changing in the bath room, dropping herself on the bed.
"Just saying goodnight noisy" Rachel answered, Rachel kissed Finn and hugged him again.
"I love you Finn"
"Love you too baby" Finn replied discreetly rubbing Rachel's stomach and kissing her forehead.
As Finn left Rachel got on their pyjamas and got into bed and turned off the light.
"Aunt Rachel can I ask you something?" Beth asked as she pulled the covers over herself.
"Sure sweetie"
"Would it be okay if we call Finn, Uncle Finn? He seems really cool a lot cooler than Uncle Sam... But don't tell him I said that"
Rachel couldn't help the giant smile that came to her face at her niece's words even if her mother hadn't she was so happy the rest of her family had accepted Finn.
"I would love that sweetie, and so would Finn"
XoXoXoXoXoXo
It was around midnight when Finn felt someone get into bed with him. He could smell the familiar scent, so he turned around to wrap his arm around the women he loved.
"What you doing Rach, Blaine is right there" Finn whispered nodding his head to the next bed where Blaine was sleeping soundly.
"He won't care Finn, I just can't sleep without you next to me, I'll leave before anyone wakes up" Rachel reasoned as she cuddled into Finn who wrapped his arm more tightly around her.
"Just as long as we don't get in trouble" Finn joked
"I promise we won't... Thank you for today Finn you've been great"
"Anything for you babe"
"I love you" Rachel said already feeling her eyes drop, all she needed to fall asleep was Finn's warm embrace.
"I love you too and I love you bump"
