Hey everyone!
This was a new story I started about a month ago that I've finally got around to posting on here. It's going to be roughly three chapters long (maybe more) and I'm already half-way through the second chapter which I am hoping to post by the end of this week. This will not interfere with me posting 'Dance With Me' rather help me, since I tend to get bored easily and need some variety in my life. I'm not really a very consistent person. Anyway, please tell me what you think, feedback is much appreciated. I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing skills that are still only in their infants. Enjoy!

"Don't wear out your throwing arm before the big game Hudson" Coach Beiste's voice boomed across the football field.

"Don't worry about it coach, just sneaking in a little more practice while I can" a young Finn Hudson replied "I was just finishing up now"

"Alright buddy, I hope you're ready for tomorrow. A talent scout from OSU will be there looking to give our star quarterback a scholarship"

"You bet I am coach! I wouldn't miss it for the world!"


The Cheerios were on the field performing some ridiculous routine Sue Sylvester had put together when Finn noticed his girlfriend Quinn Fabray wasn't performing with them but was lost somewhere in the mess of the stands. He spotted her golden hair and white sundress with ease and was up in the stands with her in no time.

"Hey babe, why aren't you out there with the Cheerios?"

"That doesn't matter Finn, all that matters is that you play this game well a-and you get that scholarship so you can go to OSU and have a f-future" The blonde teenager broke down into tears as the last word escaped her trembling lips.

"Hey, hey, what's up Q? Is something wrong?"

"I told you -It doesn't matter. Not now. All that matters is that you win this game for McKinley"

"But it does matter, I'm not going to be able to focus all game if I don't know what's going on right now" He stoked her cheek lovingly, completely oblivious to what he was about to hear

"I'm Pregnant"

Everything slowly swirled into a distant blur for Finn Hudson. Those two words had shaken him to his core. Those two words had changed his life forever.

"I-I'm going to be a dad?"

He watched as his girlfriend slowly nodded through her tears, then he realized that tears were falling from his eyes too. He was going to be a father. He was going to have to look after a kid, how could he even do that? He was still a kid himself for crying out loud!

"Hudson! Get your butt down here now! It's go time!" Beiste yelled from the sidelines

Finn shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair before bolting down the stairs and running onto the field with his teammates. He couldn't stop himself from looking back at Quinn, from looking back at her perfect tear-stained face.

It was during the second half and both teams were neck and neck. Finn Hudson just needed to make this perfect pass and the game was theirs, and so was the scholarship. That's when he saw her. She looked at him with sad eyes and mouthed 'I'm sorry' before disappearing behind the stands. That's when he felt it. That's when he felt some jerk tackle him. He felt as though his shoulder had been ripped off, he felt that if he got up now he'd be able to look down and see his shoulder just lying there. But it didn't just lie there, it got up with him, causing him more pain than he thought was possible.

"Hudson! Where do you think you're going? Come back 'ere!" He heard his coach scream out from behind him, but he didn't stop, because she didn't matter. None of them mattered. All that mattered was Quinn and their baby.

"Quinn! Quinn! Wait up babe!"

"Finn? Wh-what are you doing here?" the pregnant girl breathed in disbelief

"I'm going to be here for our baby. Forever. And I'm going to be here for you"


"Ugh! Finn you have to get up, you're not a teenager anymore!"

"Huh? What? Oh! Kurt it's you..." Finn mumbled sleepily

"Yes Finn, it's me. Now get up!"

"Yeah, yeah whatever you say dude" he sat up and ran his figures through his hair with a sigh "I dreamed about her again last night"

"Oh Finn, you have to learn to let go. Quinn doesn't want you anymore and, last time I checked, neither do your kids"

"You mean my kid, Beth isn't even mine"

"What, but she's the one you gave up everything for"

"I know right, Quinn told me yesterday. It was that dumbshit Noah Puckerman who got her knocked up senior year. We even did a full on DNA test and everything because I didn't believe her"

"I'm sorry"

"Nah, i-it's cool. I think I might go down and watch some tv, I hear that Today show or whatever is going to be interviewing that Rachel Berry chick we went to school with this morning"


"So, Ms Berry, don't think I haven't noticed that little baby bump of yours, spill" Finn squinted at the screen and, sure enough, he could see the tiniest of baby bumbs poking through the 32 year old star's clothing. Rachel chuckled lightly and Finn examined as her perfect brown hair bounced up and down off her shoulders.

"Well, there's not much to say really. Apart from the fact that my husband and I decided it was finally time to start a family"

"We're all extremely happy for you! Have you thought about names yet?"

"Of course! If it's a girl we're planning on naming her 'Stella Claire St. James' and if it's a boy we were thinking along the lines of 'Alex Harry St. James'?" Finn's fists balled up, she'd married St. Jerkface? Since when! If only he'd had the balls to join the damn glee club in high school. Then he could be the one waking up next to her in the mornings instead of waking up alone in his best friend's guest room because his life sucks and he's stuck in the middle of a messy divorce.

"Wow, what pretty names! Do you think you'll be returning to the Broadway stage after the birth of your child?"

"I'm not sure really, Jesse and I certainly want to have more than one child and I'd like to be there for them as they grow up so I'd say I probably won't be hitting that stage anytime soon"

"I'm sure you'll both be amazing parents. Now, I have a few questions from fa-" Finn switched off the tv and chucked the oversized remote halfway across the room. Kurt made those annoying clicking noises with his tongue.

"Tut, tut, tut Finny. How many times do I have to tell you not to take your anger out on my precious tv? What did the poor thing ever do to you?"

Finn just rolled his eyes and left the room. He hopped in his beat-up old truck that he'd had since the day he found out Quinn was pregnant and drove to the McKinley parking lot. He let out a sigh as he took in the familiar grounds of his glory days.


The sound of the truck's door slamming shut seemed louder then ever as Finn stepped out onto the faded tarmac. He made his way across the football field and found it odd that no one was at school, then he realised it was a Sunday. Finn had planned on going inside but, considering it was Sunday, the doors were probably locked and he didn't want to get arrested or anything for breaking in to a silly old school. Just as he turned to leave he felt someone tap at his shoulder.

"What brings you here, Finny Boy?"

"D-Darren?" Finn Hudson stuttered in disbelief, he hadn't seen that man since he was 16.

"Yeah man! The school hired Emerald Dreams to spruce up the football field a little before the big game this Friday"

Finn sighed. That would make it roughly 14 years since his 'big game'. 14 years since he gave up his whole life. And for what? A stupid baby that wasn't even his!

"Uh... good on ya dude, glad you're getting some business"

"So am I! So how have things been goin' for you lately?" Darren displayed a toothy grin.

"Ah, not so great really"

"That right?"

"Yeah, sometimes life just sucks y'know?"

Darren nodded "Got any regrets?"

"I can't think of one think I don't regret" Finn laughed lightly "Well, I better get going"

"So, if you had the chance, you'd do it all again?" Darren raised his eyebrows and completely ignored Finn's comment on leaving.

"I guess I would, I mean, I just feel like I've never done anything right in my life"

Darren nodded and smiled a little, which Finn found a little creepy. Like, he knew Darren and all but that doesn't mean he couldn't have turned into some psycho old man in all the years he hadn't known him.

"I really gotta go" Finn said nervously and gave Darren a small nod before almost bolting towards his truck.


"Jesse!" Rachel let out a panicked squeak when the lights in their New York apartment suddenly went out.

"Don't worry my shining star, I'm right here" she felt his warm arms wrap around her waist, his hands resting on her belly. She flinched as the ice-cold metal of his wedding ring made contact with her bare skin

"I'm scared" she whispered

"I know baby, but I'm here. One sec..." Jesse reached into his pockets then the room filled with light "Lucky my iPhone has a flashlight" he chuckled before spinning his wife around in his arms and placing a gentle kiss to her lips.


"Shit! This is not good weather to be driving home in!" Finn yelled to himself as he battled with the rain and the wind

Suddenly lightning flashed as he saw the lights of several surrounding houses fizzle out, including the streetlights "Oh that's just freakin' great, isn't it?"

Lightning lit up the sky for a second time, but this time Finn could've sworn he'd seen the silhouette of a man standing on the edge of the bridge he was approaching. As he came closer his fears soon became reality so (being the awesome screw-up that he is) he stopped his car and got out in the pouring rain to try and get that man not to jump, if that's what he was even doing.

"Hey! HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"

He squinted into the darkness and realised the man standing there was Darren. Maybe he had gone all psycho after all.

"You had a great voice kid, don't waste it"

Then he jumped.
