Chapter One

(September: 2 months before wedding.)

"No, No, that's not the right shade, Joshua, I told you I wanted wine colored napkins to go with the white tablecloths, it is essential they match, exactly with the flower centerpieces."

"But Mr Hummel, didn't you say you wanted dark red for the table linens', isn't this the same?

"A frazzled Kurt Hummel is pacing up and down his living room running a slender hand through his now untidy hair, trying to make the young man surrounded by piles of different colored material samples at the dining room table, understand the subtle differences in color, between the deep red and his preferred wine colored swatches, he grabs hold of said swatches and places them next to each other on the white cloth spread out on one end of his table and says to his junior intern .

"Now Joshua, please look very carefully at these two fabric swatches, and please tell me you can see the difference." Joshua leans over the table and looks closely at the materials before pointing to the sample on his right

"Yeah… well I guess this one is a bit redder than the color on the chart you showed me the other day. I'm sorry Mr Hummel." He looks apologetically at his boss, who sighs deeply and presses his thumb and forefinger against the bridge of his nose.

"It's okay Joshua I'm sorry I was a little terse with you , I just want this wedding to be absolutely perfect, and I guess I'm stressing a little."

"That's ok Mr Hummel, I understand, and I'll do better next time I promise, I'm sure the happy couple will love everything you have planned anyway. Joshua nervously rubs his neck and licks his lips before asking, um… Mr Hummel, did you need me for anything else tonight? It's just… Um … it's nearly 9: pm and I need to catch my train."

"Oh my goodness of course Josh, I'm so sorry I kept you so long, you go, the time just seemed to get away from us, have a safe journey and I'll see you on Monday, have a good weekend". He waves at the young man and good nights are exchanged as he walks out the door.

A few minutes after Joshua leaves, the front door opens again and Blaine walks in finding his love at the large picture window of their loft, looking out at the twinkling lights of the Manhattan skyline, he quietly makes his way over and wraps his arms around Kurt placing his cold nose into the side of Kurt's warm neck, making him squeal and pull away playfully slapping Blaine on the arm. Blaine laughs out loud and reaches his hand out to grab Kurt's and pull him back into his chest, before placing a firm kiss on Kurt's lips. Soft sighs are audible from both men as they spend a few minutes saying hello.

"Hi Babe how was your day?

"Hello to you to Mr Anderson, my day was OK, I think poor Joshua was glad to get away though, I feel terrible for getting upset with him, he is only learning after all, but I want this wedding to be absolutely perfect."

"It will be honey, stop worrying. Did you finalize the table stuff for Finn and Chele?

"Yes I have finally decided with Finn and Rachel's input of course, on the wine colored napkins and white tablecloths, that should match with the centrepieces of burgundy chrysanthemums mixed with white roses and purple edged yellow carnations, it will all go perfectly with the bridesmaids' in burgundy and Rachel of course as the star attraction in a one off, Hummel design gown."

'You are brilliant, my love, the day will be magical and they will be so happy" Blaine says firmly, his tone then changes to a playful one when he says to Kurt "Planning Chele and Finn's wedding will give you some practice for when it is our turn."

"What…?" Kurt's head jerks up from Blaine's chest at his words, not sure if he heard correctly. "What do you mean when it is our turn?"

"What do you think I mean, you know I love you and I know you love me too, I have been so very happy with you as my boyfriend …, it's all this wedding talk and seeing Chele and Finn so happy and they haven't been together anywhere near as long as us …I just want to make what we have official, I know I will never want anyone else, so what do you say," at his words Blaine pulls away and kneels down in front of a teary eyed Kurt and after producing a narrow gold band inlaid with diamonds, he offers it to Kurt and in an emotional voice asks

"Kurt Hummel I love you, and I would make me the happiest man in the world if you would say yes to my proposal of marriage".

"Oh my god…, get up off the floor you beautiful man, before you crease your clothes, and kiss me, of course I'll marry you, Blaine Anderson, there was never going to be any other answer I have been waiting for you to ask me for years, and was about to take matters into my own hands and ask you myself. So of course my answer is a definite YES!"

The newly engaged couple celebrate their betrothal with a passionate kiss, and as they make their way to their bedroom, stumbling somewhat into the walls and furniture on the way as their lips stay connected, hands caressing each other, they whisper words of love in-between kisses. Before collapsing in a giddy tangle on their bed, the room quiet except for the sounds of clothing being unzipped and unbuckled and the soft swish as they are thrown without care, all over the room. Then only tender words and the music of their bodies joined in their lovemaking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~33333~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Detective Finn Hudson walks through his front door on Friday night, looking forward to 2 days at home with his Fiancée, His mouth starts to water from the enticing aroma's emanating from the kitchen. As he silently enters said room the smile on his face grows even wider at the sight of his tiny Rachel, dressed in a pair of tight purple yoga pants and one of his NYPD t- shirts falling off one shoulder and knotted at her hip. Her shiny brunette tresses, bundled up on the top of her head held together with a large, clip decorated with a bright yellow silk sunflower. Her beautiful face free of makeup, though the beaming smile brightens it from inside and it is as though she has a light inside that just makes her glow, he loves seeing her this happy and as always is so very thankful that they found each other, and are only two months away from their wedding and forever. He is still thinking of the future when all of a sudden, a tiny pair of tanned arms encircle his neck pulling his head down to meet her lips, which he decided ages ago was his favourite way of being welcomed home.

"Hi Baby did you have a good day?"Rachel asks, looking deep into his eyes, as she pulls away from their kiss, before sucking on her bottom lip (she always does that after they kiss when he told her ages ago that he thinks it is cute, she responded by shyly saying it's so she can taste his lips for longer) and breathing deeply, however she doesn't completely remove her arms from Finn's body, she just slides them over his broad shoulders and down his firm chest, her right hand pausing for a minute on a spot just under his left collarbone and gently rubbing it. Before her small hands' continue their journey, and slide around his waist to hug him tightly. She then rests her head on Finn's chest just listening to his heart beat and breathing in his scent.

"Hi to you to baby girl, I did have a good day thank you, but it has just been made infinitely better now I am here with you, he leans down slightly to place a kiss on the top of her head. His arms making their own way around her waist and gently lifting her up till her legs automatically clamp around his waist, once he knows she is secure he presses his lips against hers and gently squeezes her purple clad butt, groaning into their kiss slightly when he feels her grind her center against the growing bulge in his suit pants. Another few minutes is spent saying hello until the amorous couple are shaken from their activities by the loud beeping of the oven timer indicating dinner is done. With one last peck to Finn's lips Rachel slides her body seductively down Finn's, giggling at the groan that escapes his swollen lips as she presses a hand against the hardness in his pants.

"Aww baby girl, you're a tease you know that, don't you?"You get poor Finn Jr all excited and then leave just him hanging…" the pout on his face makes Rachel giggle more when she turns and looks at him over her shoulder

"Oh honey, Finn Jr will be OK he's a 'BIG boy' I'm sure he can control himself at least till after dinner, Hmm? Now come on and eat, I made your favorite, chicken cacciatore and pasta with herb-n-cheese bread and salad. I'm sure If Finn Snr is a good boy and eats all his dinner then maybe Finn Jr can come out later to play…." Finn groans again at her teasing words and the cheeky smile before she walks away, the wiggle in her hips and butt more pronounced. He follows her to the kitchen and helps carry the dishes to the table. While they eat the conversation flows comfortably, he laughs as Rach, tells him about some of the antics her 1st graders get up to, and the gossip from the faculty lounge. He mentions about the cases he's working on at the minute and how the captain is still very happy with his progress, and gives her the latest news about Pucks latest crush on the new waitress at his favorite do-nut shop. She frowns and shakes her head saying in a concerned voice, that makes him chuckle.

"He needs to find a nice lady to settle down with and stop all his playboy ways; maybe I should introduce him to Liz? I know deep down he is a good man, but he surely doesn't want to be alone forever."

Finn just looks across the table at her with a soft love struck look on his face and loves her a bit more; she astounds him with her resolve to have her friends as happy as she is. He reaches his hand to take her tiny left hand in his and while rubbing her engagement ring with his thumb and says softly,

"Baby I love you, and I love how much you care about our friends and want them to be happy. Puck will find someone when he is ready" she nods at him and turns her hand over in his to squeeze his fingers, before taking a sip of her wine

The biggest smile forms on her face when she mentions that Kurt has 'ordered' her, Hayley and Liz to be at his place for their dress fittings, 9: am sharp next Saturday, I can't believe that in 2 months I am going to be Mrs Rachel Hudson, I can't wait till you see my dress, can you believe it is a 'Hummel' original design?"

" I can't wait either baby girl, though I am thinking more about getting you out of said dress and getting into the married sex part, I've heard it's even better than engaged, living together sex…."

"Finn Hudson, is that all you ever think about? What about the food and the flowers and pict…."

She is unable to get another word out as Finn has stretched his long body across the table and captured her mouth with his, his hands holding her face as he bites gently on her bottom lip and pushes his tongue inside her mouth to tangle with hers, their lips giving each others, a workout before lack of air forces them apart and he slumps back in his chair, all the while watching the dazed look on Rachel's face, slowly turn into a beaming bright smile.

"I love you so much Rach and you know I can't wait till our wedding, and FYI, Miss Berry, I am interested in the other things but baby, none of it will ever compare with the angel in the white dress that will meet me at the end of the aisle and in front of all our family and friends promise to be mine and love me for the rest of forever, because that is the exact same way I feel about her and one day in the not too distant future when we are telling our kids about it she will still be the only woman ever to catch and keep hold of my heart because we are tethered with a steel rope you know."

"O-Oh my goodness w-whatever did I do to deserve such a beautiful, romantic man as you Finn Hudson" her tears running down her cheeks as her words escape in sobs, she squeezes onto his lap making the dishes on the table rattle as she wraps her arms around his neck and presses a wet kiss to his mouth, their eyes never leaving the others' her heart beating in time with his own.

"It's simple Rach you were born. A shining star sent to earth to find me and let me love you, my guiding light to take away the darkness and I figure if I can just keep doing that then everything will always be OK.

"I love you"

"I love you too so much".

That night when Rachel was snuggled against her Finn pillow (who incidentally was snoring, with his mouth open and a line of drool running down his cheek and collecting on the pillow) his face was so relaxed Rachel thought he looked just like a cute little boy. With her ear pressed against the left side of his chest listening to the strong beat of his heart, which always lulls her to sleep, the movie reel in her mind rewinds to the past and she dreams about her life. Before her Dad's passed away, and the struggles her and Blaine had to stay together in their family home, it was fortunate that their dads' were well versed in the business of wills and such things as Leroy had been a well known and highly respected lawyer and Hiram was a banker who ran his own finance company, both men had put in place when Blaine and herself were born, a trust fund, just in case anything was to happen to either or both of them. To help the children through college and to get a head start in the adult world, they had also put their family home in the children's names and once Blaine was of legal age he would be named as Rachel's guardian , of course no one was expecting them to be snatched away from their children like they were but, both Blaine and Rachel were very strong and as much as it hurt, they were determined to honor their fathers by being the very best at their chosen careers as they could, it was of course very hard growing up without parents but Blaine did a wonderful job helping his little sister overcome the trials and tribulations that can befall a teenage girl without a female influence.

Their birth mother of both Blaine and herself (2 years later) was a surrogate who had at the time signed a legal document waiving all parental and legal rights to the children, which was okay with them because as far as Blaine and Rachel Anderson – Berry, were concerned their parents were and would always be Leroy Nicholas Anderson and Hiram Michael Berry. No two parents could love their children more, the legacy they left was to always be kind and treat others as you wish to be treated, never look down on those less fortunate, do your very best at whatever stirs your interest. When you find your person, your true soul mate and you will know when you do because the tether that joins your hearts will become like an unbreakable steel rope.

Then she thinks about Kurt and the first time she met him in glee club, she found out later, after they pair had become close that poor Kurt didn't have a mother, it was just him and his dad Burt, who ran a very successful chain of mechanical workshops, Kurt said his mom Elizabeth had passed away from cancer when he was about seven, and he says his dad always tells him he is so much like her, with her passion for singing and fashion design, because that's how Burt met her, apparently he needed a new tux for his senior prom and she was working at the tailors he went into because he heard the most wonderful voice singing along to a John Mellencamp tune on the radio, and he was smitten, as was she, she would take extra time to just sit and talk with Burt when he came in, which was nearly every day, spending hours some nights on the phone, and then as they say the rest is history, they got married the summer between junior and senior year of college, and were so happy, and looking forward to having a family in the future. So when Kurt came along looking very much like his mother, but with his dads' eyes, four years after they graduated with degrees' in business management and fashion design, the world was perfect. Until Elizabeth went to the doctors after a bad bout of flu left her feeling very rundown and generally unwell. And within six months she was gone; it appears she had contracted a rare form of leukemia that at the time was no cure for, Poor Burt was absolutely devastated, and Kurt being so young didn't really understand he just missed his momma. But eventually the two Hummel men dealt as much as they could with their loss and got on with their lives.

As much as the loss of loved ones affects and saddens us, Rachel realized that it is god's will and if chooses to take you, then the ones left behind have to be strong and live a good life, helping others and remembering the good times with love and happiness. Also if you are lucky enough to find 'your person', the one at the end of your tether, you can have your happy future.

(October)

"Blaine? Honey, are you home?"

"Yes Kurt I'm in the study, Hi babe how was your day, you're home early is everything OK?"

"Yes, yes everything is ok, I had a brilliant idea is all and just wanted to run it by you, plus I missed you", he presses a deep kiss on Blaine's lips and runs his hands through his curly dark hair, a moan of pleasure tells him Blaine is happy to see him as well, but before they get too distracted, Kurt pulls away, smiling at the frown turning Blaine's thick eyebrows downwards and the pout forming on his puffy lips.

"I want to have a party, well not just any party" He waves his hands in the air and claps giddily before saying excitedly "I want to have a combined Halloween and engagement party; I thought the theme of a famous Duo from history , literature or anywhere really was ideal. What do you think love?"

"I think that is a fantastic idea, babe. It will be fun and will get everyone together, who do you want to go as, any ideas? You are so very good at organising parties and things are you going to call everyone or send written invites?"

"I thought it would be fun to make the invites like old scrolls sealed with wax or like the Hogwarts letters from Harry Potter, and I think we should go as either a set of king and queen of heart playing cards or 1920's gangsters, I reckon seeing you with the pencil thin mustache and fedora with a black pinstriped suit and big gun would be such a turn on. You would rock the whole good boy gone bad look."

"You know, I have always secretly thought I would look like a real bad-ass in a fedora and pinstripes, but what about you? Will you be my moll or what?" smiling widely he notices the thinking look Kurt always gets on his face when he is contemplating an idea and organizing his thoughts.

"Blaine Anderson, are you trying to corrupt me?" But before Blaine can answer, "I think red would suit me and lots of feathers and a bobbed, blonde wig, you would wear a red tie to match, Oh this party is going to be so much fun, our couple name could be…," he brings a hand to hold his elbow with his other hand cupping his chin, and taps his cheek with a slim forefinger, perfectly shaped eyebrows dipped in thought, "I've got it, oh, it's fantastic, are you ready…, 'Klaine', what do you think?, Oh my gosh I can't wait."

"I think you are so very clever and I know this party is going to be a blast", Blaine leans over to place a kiss on Kurt's still smiling lips. "We can make a start on the invites tonight".

The day after receiving Kurt and Blaine's Engagement/Halloween party invite, Rachel and Finn were looking through the racks of costumes at the local fancy dress store, they had decided on 'Robin Hood and Maid Marian', Finn wasn't entirely sure of his costume though, once he saw the green tights and not nearly long enough white shirt with long puffy sleeves, and expressed his concerns to his excited Fiancée, who was waltzing around the store in a flowing green velvet dress with attached floor length cape and veiled head piece.

"Um babe, can't I wear like baggy pants instead of these tights? I mean you can see 'all of me' his voice lowering as he discreetly points to his crotch, my … er… um junk is on full view to everyone"

"Finn stop being silly, no one is going to see your 'junk' because my darling, you will have a tunic over your ruffled shirt, and a belt to hold your sword, although I do think you look mighty fine in just the tights or… out of them". She then hands him with a cheeky wink, a dark brown suede tunic that does indeed cover his 'junk' just enough to ease his worries. Rachel hugs Finn tightly around his waist once he has donned the tunic and a makes sexy comment about how it is a good thing Robin Hood has a good stiff bow and makes Maid Marian quiver whenever he shows her his long shaft, then discreetly sliding her left hand down to cup and gently squeeze the bulge in his tights, making him groan. Before skipping, away to find another head piece try on.

The night of the party Kurt and Blaine's apartment looked like the portrait gallery from the 'Manhattan Museum of Art', there were pictures of just about every famous duo/couple everywhere, and the decorations were a mixture of era's, ranging from ancient Egypt, Roman times, the 1920's all the way through history to modern times. If you didn't know this was a costume party, you would have thought you had stepped into a mal-functioning time machine, because all the guests were dressed in such realistic costumes, When Finn and Rachel arrived about 8:00 they were greeted by a tall slim blonde in a mid calf length dress that appeared to be made up of red fringes, that shimmied every time there was movement, the outfit was topped by a red sparkly head hand with a couple of fluffy red feathers attached to the side and a thick red feather boa, draped around pale shoulders.

"Kurt? Oh my gosh! You look absolutely fabulous. If I didn't know better I would have thought I'd travelled back in time". She leans in to give him a kiss on the cheek and a hug. Before pulling away and looking for her brother, she takes the gift bag from Finn with a kiss of thanks and wanders off to find Blaine, leaving 'Robin' to chat with 'Molly' for a few minutes. Finn still feels a little under dressed but feels much more comfortable once he spots on the other side of the room a guy in an even tighter pair of purple tights and tank top chatting with a ballerina in a frilly tutu and a couple of playing cards.

"Wow, man there are some great outfits here tonight."

"Yeah I'm so pleased, it should be a lot of fun, anyway go and grab yourself a drink, there's beer, wine or soda I'm going to mingle I can see my mob boss over there, I'll send your 'Marian' back to you but there are a few guys who you could have a sport related conversation with, though mind you most of the men here are gay and I must say those tights are pretty sexy." Kurt laughs out loud at the look of anxiety that crosses his brother in laws handsome face. Before patting Finn on the arm and saying that he was safe as all the guys were in happy solid relationships. Finn breathed a sigh of relief, he had no problem with gay guys, as friends they just weren't his 'type'.

By the time Finn and Rachel got home it was 2am, they were so tired all they did was remove their costumes and jump into bed not even bothering to brush their teeth, before sharing a goodnight kiss, snuggling together and falling asleep almost immediately.

(November 10, 8 days before wedding)

Finn and Rachel arrived in Lima, about 4:30pm on a Friday evening a couple of weeks before their wedding, They had just walked through the door of his bedroom and were currently snuggled on his bed for a rest after the 10 hour drive from Manhattan.

"Do you remember when we were here for Mom's birthday and how excited you were when you saw the function centre?" he smiles as her face shows she does indeed remember the conversation and subsequent activities they participated in during that trip.

Rachel had decided months ago after a trip back for his moms 50th birthday, she wanted to have their wedding in Finn's home town, because once she saw the lush tropical, garden, surrounded by aviaries' and fish ponds with waterfalls and fountains, at the 'Four Seasons Motel and Function Centre', where Carole's party was held. She knew straight away it was the exact place she wanted their special day to be. Finn smiled at the excitement in her voice after she declared "Oh Finny this is the perfect place, we can have both the ceremony and the reception here, and the doors can be closed so if the weather is too cold we can still feel like we are outdoors."Finn just smiled and lent down to place a lingering kiss on her lips and told her with a chuckle that the venue was more than perfect, although he couldn't guarantee, that his focus would be on much else, once his beautiful, sexy bride came down the aisle, and he would be thinking about all the fantastic married sex they would be having afterwards, but if she wanted to have a tropical garden tour, maybe he would have to find another woman to marry him, he was sure there was a blonde out there who would jump at the chance to be with such a good looking, sex god.

The look on Rachel's face made him burst out laughing, "Oh baby girl you know I'm just kidding, the venue is absolutely perfect for us and I can't wait for our wedding, you know there is no other woman anywhere in the world I want more than you, you are it for me. We are 'Finchel', and that means end game remember."

Finn wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her tiny body on top of his, his hands moving south to squeeze her butt, while his lips are busy kissing the pout off her mouth until she pulled away gasping from a lack of air "Finn Hudson don't you ever do that to me again, because if any blonde skank even so much as looks at you in that way she will have me to deal with, you are mine and I don't share, and as for married sex, I think we need to do a trial run just to make sure we are compatible. So get naked and show me the proof you are a sex god Hudson before I change my mind, she giggles as she reaches up to place a chaste kiss on his stubbly cheek."

"Yes Ma'am", and as Finn unwraps his arms from her body he sighs when her little hand squeezes his dick through his sweat pants, as he lifts himself off the bed to do her bidding, smiling to himself at the lustful look on her face as he removes his pants and boxers allowing his now, fully erect dick to spring to attention. She licks her plump pink lips and pulls the bottom one between her teeth as he lifts his arms to pull his sweater and polo shirt over his head. Stopping halfway when he feels a pair of soft wet lips attach themselves to the head of his shaft and start to suck on it, he lets out a strangled moan and hurries to rid his body of his shirt. Before reaching down to grasp the cheeky imp, watching him with big dark eyes shining with mischief, around the shoulders, the action causing him to fall out of her mouth with a distinct pop, laying her on her back, a sexy smirk plastered across her face.

"Oh you are in trouble now Missy, you know as a policeman it is my job to interrogate wrong doers don't you? I have to get the bare truth, now what have you got to show me Hmm"

All Rachel can do is giggle and squirm as Finn proceeds to remove first her leggings and panties placing a kiss on each inch of skin exposed, till he reaches the small neatly trimmed triangle of dark hair at the apex of her thighs, smiling as Rachel's breath hitches and soft moans and sighs leave her throat. He deliberately avoids her center chuckling as she growls in protest and pushes her hips closer to his mouth as an indication of what she wants, his lips continue their journey upwards towards her tummy as his hands grip the hem of her sweat top and push it up, his soft kisses leaving wet trails over the smooth skin, till they meet her satin and lace covered boobs. His hands leaving their position and move underneath her quivering body to undo her bra, his large warm hands returning to their previous duty and softly squeezing her plump rosy tipped mounds before pushing her top further until it was removed and thrown carelessly across the room.

"Right now we have the 'bare' truth Ms Berry, I think it is my turn to show you that I am indeed a sex god and will have you screaming my name and begging me to take it easy on you."

"I'm sorry Officer Finn; I am more than willing to comply with every one of your demands for justice."

"That's Detective Hudson to you, now my first demand is that you kiss me and no more of this on the cheek crap I want a proper kiss with tongue to prove you are serious about complying."

"OK" and as Rachel lets out another giggle her hungry lips are attacked by Finn's equally hungry ones and as she bites his bottom lip asking for entrance she is immediately granted permission . The minute her tongue makes contact with his and tangles together their heart rates jump a gear and their hands begin to roam, caressing, each others warm bodies and causing electric sparks to be felt deep down in the depths of their souls, igniting the fire in their blood. Finn pulled away his breath coming in shorts pants, his voice rough with passion.

"Y-yes well I think you have proved your compliance Miss Berry now to the serious job of making love, are you ready for me?"

"Always, Mr Hudson, please love me right now this minute, I can't wait any longer to feel you inside me, and I love you."

Finn placed one more kiss on her swollen lips before pressing his painfully hard dick into her. Repeating the same three words and releasing a moan of satisfaction as their bodies become one and she begins to move her hips in time with his thrusts, his cinnamon eyes locked onto hers, shining with the love he knows is just for him. They reach their peak and encourage each other to fall off the edge together; they come down from their high collapsing in a tangle of limbs, and breathing heavily. Finn presses his lips onto Rachel's and whispers to his love "I love you so very much, you are my life."

"I love you too Finny so much" just as she presses her lips against his she yawns sleepily and her eyes begin to close in slumber.

"Yes I do remember very well and I'm counting on recreating our activities on this trip more than once but right now I need a nap Mister Hudson."

Finn just smiles softly at her and before rolling onto his side and spooning his tiny love he places a soft kiss on her cheek, as the long day finally catches up with him and he slips into a contented sleep as well, forever thankful he met the tiny angel laying next to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~33333~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurt and Blaine had both organized to take leave from their jobs in New York and arrived in Lima the day after Finn and Rachel; everyone was staying at Finn's family home and Carole and Ben were enjoying catching up with the guys and congratulating them again on their own engagement. Blaine was both proud and sad to be giving his little sister away, at her nuptials in their fathers' place but was more than happy she had met Finn; he knew deep down that both fathers were watching from heaven and would have been very happy with Finn as a son in law.

Tuesday afternoon, a few days after they arrived in Lima Finn and Rachel were in the supermarket getting a few groceries for a dinner that Rach was cooking as a thank you to Carole and Ben for all their help with everything as well as making space in their home for the rest of the bridal party who would be arriving in a day or so. As they made their way around the store Finn pushing the cart and Rachel walking ahead reading off her shopping list to find the required items, Finn wasn't paying attention as his mind and eyes were focused as they are most of the time on Rachel's tight black denim clad ass, so he didn't see the cart coming around the corner of the dairy aisle where his fiancée had just gone and bumping head on in to his.

'Oh shit I'm sorry I didn't see yo…"

"Finn Hudson? Is that you, Hi how are you?" the overweight body clad in a sloppy overlarge sweat top and pants, attached to the voice dashes around the filled grocery carts' to Finn and tries to place a kiss on his mouth, but is pushed away firmly.

"Er, Um hi" Finn is a loss of what to say to the blonde woman in front of him, who has a predatory look in her green eyes, he spends a couple of uncomfortable minutes trying to manoeuvre his cart around her to go and find Rachel, but between the two carts and stacks of tinned tuna and beans in the way there's not a lot of room, he looks around panicking slightly and hoping his fiancée will come and find him, and breathes a sigh of relief when he hears her melodic voice calling his name.

"Finn, baby what are Moms favorite brands of salad dres…?" he makes eye contact with her over the blondes head and sends her a soft love filled smile, that doesn't go unnoticed by the blonde, just as another voice cuts into the exchange.

"Mommy, I couldn't find any pizza pockets"

"Finn, what's going on baby, is everything alright?"

"Hey babe, nothing's wrong I just bumped into this ladies cart by accident and was just coming to find you." He smiles at Rachel and tries to move his cart around the woman and her young son, who is staring between his mother and the tall man, a puzzled look on his face. Finn has already made the connection and with a disinterested look on his face, moves his cart away.

Just as Finn moves past the blonde towards Rachel she reaches a hand out and grabs hold of his muscled forearm and giving it a squeeze reaching her face closer to his ear and saying in a sultry voice, that "She is still living in the same house and would love for him to stop by and spend some time catching up over a bottle or two of wine, throwing in that she would be home alone tonight till about 8 o'clock."

Finn pulls his arm away angrily, and gestures for Rach to come closer, he kisses her on the cheek and wraps an arm around her waist pulling her closer before introducing the two women at least for Rachel's piece of mind.

"Rach, baby this is Um…. Quinn Fabray we went to high school together and this must be her son…er? Quinn this is my fiancée Rachel Berry" Finn is looking at Rachel the whole time gently putting light pressure on her waist.

"Oh hello, I'm Rachel" sending a small smile and offering her right hand to the blonde, who just ignores it. The action leaving Rachel feeling a little uncomfortable so to hide the awkward rebuff, she nervously brings her left hand up to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, the store lights catching her engagement ring.

"Um … yeah I'm Quinn and this is my son Hudson." Finn snapped his head up at hearing the little boys name but didn't comment he just grabbed hold of Rach's left hand with his spare one and squeezed gently, rubbing his thumb over her ring, before bringing her hand up to his mouth to place a small kiss on the back of it. The air has become thick with tension, Finn can't believe Quinn would give her kid the same name as his, when it wasn't even his kid, and then try and come on to him while both Rach and her son were there. She obviously hasn't changed and her son is the spitting image of his once best friend except with his mothers green eyes. Finn wants to get away from the longing looks aimed at him and the jealous, hateful ones thrown Rachel's way. The entire time she was speaking Quinn's eyes never left Rachel's left hand.

"Yeah well anyway, Quinn, we have to go now, we've a special dinner to organize."

Finn pulls Rachel away with one hand, the other gripping the cart's handle until his knuckles are white from the pressure and hurrying away, his breathing fast and an angry scowl on his handsome face. They get their shopping done in record time and once they are back at home Rachel brings up the business at the store.

"Finn, honey, do you want to talk about the woman at the store? Is she the one who lied to you about her baby when you were in the army?"

"Yeah, that was Quinn Fabray, my girlfriend since senior year, I mean I liked her well enough and we had fun I guess, but I never saw a future with her, apparently she did though, she had our lives all planned out, I was going to be a mechanic or work pumping gas in Lima Ohio, for the rest of my life. 'Cause she thought that's all I was good for and would never rise to anything better to allow me to leave this town, then while I was away in the army she was here screwing my best buddy, and getting herself knocked up, then having the audacity to try and pin the kid on me when I came home on leave before my last tour of duty, knowing damn well it wasn't mine as we hadn't been 'together' in over a year, then trying to cry innocent and blame me for her running to my friend because I was away, and she was lonely and he got her drunk , then when 'my friend' just told her to deal with it and walked away and out of her life, she gave me this sob story that she always wanted me to be the father of her kids and that she knew I'd always look after her, that's probably why she named the boy Hudson, thinking if I ever found out, I'd want to be with them. Then today at the store tried to kiss me and invited me over for drinks as though we were the best of friends."

"She did what? Oh Baby I'm sorry you had to deal with her nonsense, though she is very pretty… she prettier than me, I can see why men would find her attractive..."

"Rachel Hudson, will you stop that kind of talk, you are beautiful! Inside and out, I mean yeah sure she's common pretty on the outside but underneath all the fancy clothes and face paint, well she was then, and most probably still is a lying, evil conniving bitch, it looks like she obviously eats now." At Rachel's questioning look at his last words, he explains, "in high school and the whole time we dated she would only eat what her cheer coach allowed, most of the time it was some diet drink that looked and tasted like dirty water, she always tried to make me feel guilty at lunch 'cause I needed lots of food and was always hungry." But Rach please understand I don't want anything to do with her. My heart has its sights set on someone else, someone much more beautiful and caring and way sexier, even wearing a sweat top and pants, with no makeup and bed hair; Finn has wrapped his arms around Rachel's slim shoulders and pulled her firmly against his chest so her cheek is flat against his strongly beating heart. "Do you feel that?"

He feels her nod against his body and whisper "it's beating really hard".

"Well it only beats for you, from the moment my eyes made contact with yours and until I breathe my last breath it is yours and no one beside our Hudson babies will ever share it OK."

"I love you Finn Hudson, you know you can kiss me if you want to."

"I want to, I love you too Rachel Hudson, forever."

By the time Thursday arrived the excitement was through the roof, Finn and Rachel's wedding was on Saturday afternoon and everything was all in order. The venue and reception hall were all ready to be decorated under Kurt's professional eye on the Friday, and the wedding party had all arrived and were all having a blast catching up and enjoying the sites and points of interest in Lima. Finn had decided to take his buddies and the guys in his wedding party, Puck his best Man, Sam and Mike his groomsmen, Blaine and Artie who's girlfriend was Rachel's friend Wendy from college, out to the local bar for a few drinks and games of pool, on the Thursday as a sort of bucks night, though he had to laugh at the look on Puck's face when he realized there would be no strippers at the bar.

"Aw come on Huddy, it's your last few days as a single guy, surely Berry would let you watch some babes getting their gear off for one night."

"I'm sure she would dude, but I don't want to pay to watch other chicks get their clothes off, I just want to go out with my buddies and have a few quiet drinks and play some pool, maybe even a bit of karaoke or rock band, I know for a fact that Artie is a boss on the guitar and Sam and Blaine can rock the classics."

The guys arrived at the local bar making Finn smile with nostalgia, it had always been there never changing in all the years he had been in Lima, the same neon sign advertising the name of the establishment (THE MAN CAVE) glowing and flashing in the darkness, good 80's rock music pumping from the old time jukebox. Bob the owner was a balding on top with a long ponytail, slightly overweight 50-ish guy. Who had over the years invested in a few newer, more modern additions like the karaoke machine and better quality sound system, but it was mostly just as he remembered it as a teenager sneaking in with the rest of the football team on occasions.

After greeting Bob, who like his bar hadn't changed and telling him, Finn was home for his wedding, he clapped Finn on the back in congratulation and told the guys the first 5 jugs of beer were on him. Finn and the others found a table not too far from the stage and with enough room to accommodate Artie's wheelchair, they ordered some food and settled down for the evening just relaxing and enjoying their chill time away from their busy lives and jobs in New York.

Kurt knew that as Rachel's Man of Honor it was his duty to organize some sort of Hen's night, so the night the guys went out Himself, Rachel, Hayley and Liz (Rachel's bridesmaids, Hayley is an old friend and roommate from college and Liz teaches, grade 4 at Rach's school) Mercedes, Tina and Wendy who are best friends of Rachel's (since meeting Finn) and are the wives or girlfriends of Sam, Mike and Artie. The girls settled in at home with all manner of girlie cocktails and nibbles, a plethora of facial products and a mountain of rom-com DVDS. when the girls had all assembled in the living room and took one look at each others PJ's they nearly collapsed with laughter, because another idea of Kurt's was to find and don the most childish set of PJ's they could get their hands on. Rachel was voted the cutest, she was dressed in an all-in–one footed sleeper that made her look like a cute little kid (she was after all not much bigger than one ) her big dark eyes shining with happiness from the depths of the fluffy white hood with attached bunny ears that flopped about every time her head moved. The night was great fun Kurt having the time of his life taking lots and lots of photos and video though not all of the video was actually watchable as it is very hard to focus the camera on drunk people when you are in fact quite drunk yourself. It was one of these videos that arrived on Finn's cell phone on the other side of town about 11:30 that night accompanied by an incoherent ramble punctuated with loud giggles.

Finn had just sat down after rocking it out on the drums with Puck and Artie playing guitar on stage playing rock-band on one of his all time favorite Bon-Jovi songs and singing along when his cell rang indicating a new video message. He fumbles a bit trying to get it out of his pocket, while sitting down. Due to the fact he was slightly drunk, (well possibly more than slightly) the sensible idea to stand up and retrieve his phone had vanished.

"Hey Fiiinnneey, just thought you might….wait up is this working …. Who is this again...? Cheleeee, the phone is talking, hello? Hang on I know this voice, oh wait its meee, silly. Chelleee, say hiii to your Fiinnyy"

"Heeyy sexy Fiiinnyy are you havin a goood time with the guyss? Usss girls are havin a blast, but I misss you baby soo much, hey do you like my PJ's, I look super duper cutie dontca reckon?" as she is talking nonsense she begins to unzip her PJ's and giving Finn a teasing view of her bare shoulder and the top of her left breast. "Kurtie said I did an' he would know all 'bout fashions, did ya know he made me a super pretty dress, for somefing, but I can't 'member what for, my words went somewhere have you seen em Finny?"

The camera is still taping her as she spins around, nearly falling over, and giggling like a little girl looking for something and laughing as the half full glass in her hand is now emptied all over her fluffy suit.

"Oh I gots it now Finny, I'm getting married to you baby, I wish you were here I need you sooo bad baby, I love you and can't wait to be Mrs Hudson are you coming soon?"

"Rachiee time to watch 'nother movie this one's got Mr Dream boat himself George Clooney, who doesn't love him hmm? but Shh, don't tell my Blainey or he might gets jealous. Say bye, bye to Finny and give me the phone."

"Aw, I gota go now baby but I love you not Mr Cooneys dreams boats. Come home soon please bye."

Just before Kurt snatches the phone away she waves and blows a kiss right at the lens Kurt fiddles with it for a few minutes and then shoves it in his pocket pulling Rachel down on the sofa to watch his man.

Finn is watching the video with a stunned look, his mouth hanging open in shock; he has never seen his beautiful Fiancée so wild and decides he likes it; (A lot…) he has to laugh at the outfit she is wearing, he does think she looks super duper sexy hot, the bulge in his jeans agrees a 100% and he can't wait to get home and rip it off her.

When Finn and the guys stumble in about midnight the house is silent so after thanking the guys for a great night and leaving them to find their beds, he makes his way upstairs to hopefully find his fiancée in or out of that cute bunny suit waiting for him, and there she was snuggled under the covers with just the tip of her nose sticking out and cute snuffly snores leaving her mouth, so he strips off his clothes and slides under the covers next to her pressing a kiss on her cheek and whispering he loves her into her neck, before cuddling her close succumbing to sleep making a mental note to make sure the bunny suit makes its way into her honeymoon suitcase.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~33333~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rachel, Kurt and the other girls' spent a fun filled morning together, shopping and laughing over the funny pictures taken at the hens night the night before, slightly hung-over still, so every time someone laughs Rachel's head hurts, they have spent the last couple of hours at the beauty shop for manicures and confirming their hair and makeup appointments for the next day which was the wedding. They were just leaving the coffee shop, a couple of doors down from the beauty salon, where they had enjoyed relaxing energizing drinks and luscious slices of strawberry cheesecake and lemon meringue pie and are standing on the sidewalk shivering in the cold fall wind urging Kurt to please hurry before they all freeze to death while he rummaged in his multi pocket messenger bag for the car keys, when an excited voice breaks through their whining. And the sound of sneakers pounding against the sidewalk is heard followed by an out of breath ramble.

"Rachel, Hi is my Daddy Finn with you?"

Rachel, along with everyone else looks up in surprise when she realizes who is calling to her.

"I'm sorry what do you mean sweetheart?"

"You know my Daddy, Finn Hudson, I gots the same name as him, Mommy said …."

Rachel interrupts Hudson's excited chatter and tries to tell him as gently as possible that she doesn't know what he is talking about. The disappointed look on the little boys face breaks her heart.

Quinn steps in and stands right in front of Rachel and with a bitter tone lacing her voice says loudly that "Finn should have been hers and that Rachel stole her life and she was a nasty deceitful bitch and how dare she upset her son by telling him lies about his father who loves him." then brings up her open hand and slaps Rachel across the face, firmly grabbing her sons arm and stalking away to her car parked nearby before driving off at speed.

Rachel is stunned as she is still slightly hung over, so she does nothing except press her freshly manicured hand to her cheek, look towards Kurt and in a questioning voice ask "Kurt what the hell just happened?" not expecting the woman who she has met only very briefly one time before, to attack her and say such things to her face.

Kurt is just as shocked and tells her he doesn't know but let's just get home to Finn. Rachel nods and climbs into the car the other girls making sure Rachel was OK and chatting amongst themselves about the rudeness of some people and hoping the poor little boy was OK, especially after seeing his mother hit Rach.

"FINN where are you FINN?" Kurt's striding at a fast pace through the house yelling for Finn his hand clamped around Rachel's tiny one, dragging her behind him. He spots Finn and the other guys through the kitchen window, all of them mucking around in the backyard tossing a football about. The other girls had gone upstairs to put away their shopping.

"FINN" Kurt yells again.

Finn finally hears Kurt's insistent yelling and comes bounding up the steps and as soon as he spots his tiny Fiancée, his arms wrap around her waist and he spins her in a circle pressing tiny kisses all over her face, in between telling her he has missed her so much, though when he presses just a little more on her left cheek she hisses in pain and pulls away slightly.

"Baby girl? I'm sorry, what's wrong? Did I hurt yo…?"

Before Rachel can say a word Kurt has stepped in on her behalf and is wringing his hands together his voice raised in an angry outburst.

"No Finn you did not hurt her, but some crazy blonde witch, just came up out the blue and told Rach that she was a lying bitch for telling lies to her kid by saying you are not his Father, and that Rach stole her life, then with an open hand slapped her right across the face in front of all of us and her young son, what the hell is going on? Who was that woman and what does she mean Rach stole her life? Please tell me."

"SHE DID WHAT?" Finn bellows loud enough to bring his parents in from the sitting room, the girls from upstairs and the guys in from the yard. What the fuck is wrong with her? Finn lets Rachel out of his embrace and takes her hand, leading her to the sofa, before sitting down and pulling her on to his lap and wrapping his strong arms around her. Kurt had rushed to the kitchen to grab an ice pack and returned to perch on the arm of the sofa next to a quiet Rachel and pressed the ice pack wrapped in a dish towel against her puffy and reddened cheek, Blaine squatting on the floor next to him. Finn, his breathing heavy and his face is set in an angry scowl, is trying to control his nearly to boiling point temper, but when he looks down at his tiny Rachel, holding the icepack to her cheek her brown eyes, wide and filled with questions, his look softens and he takes a deep breath and begins to explain his past.

He doesn't go into too much detail so he just reveals to his friends the abridged version. His parents and Rachel already know the story, of how he and Quinn began dating in senior year of high school, and were still sort of together when he joined the army straight out of school, and spent more time away overseas than here in Lima. It turned out though, that nearly the whole time he was away she was here playing around with his 'best friend' got pregnant, then tried to make him believe he was the father, when there was no possible way it was his as they hadn't been 'together' for over a year. And apparently it was his fault for being away and she got lonely so that's why she slept with someone else. Then when his 'friend' told her wanted nothing to do with her or his baby, he supposed she made up the dream life she wanted. He stops talking and looks around at his friends gobsmacked faces after hearing the lengths this woman went to just to cover her lies.

"I can't believe she has been lying to that poor kid all this time, I mean he must be 6 or 7 years old by now, what kind of person could do that to an innocent little kid huh?" he asks shaking his head in disbelief.

"But what has pissed me off the most is the fact that she hit you baby, she knows nothing about you or our life together" he gives Rachel a soft loving look, but his eyes show her the anguish he feels over the fact she was subjected to such behavior.

'It's OK Finny, I'm not hurt more shocked than anything I think, it was just so sudden, but I really feel sorry for that poor little boy, to firstly grow up without his father wanting to even acknowledge him, and then for his whole life to be told such untruths by his mother no less,. But I don't want to dwell on today anymore; I'm too excited for our wedding tomorrow it is going to be perfect because I'll be marrying the most wonderful, sexy, handsome man on the planet".

"Oh geez man, I'm sorry Huddy, but I knew you would come around to my way of thinking eventually Berry-cakes', and want a piece of the Puckasaurus". He says with a wiggle of his eyebrows and a cheeky grin spread across his lips.

Everyone in the room bursts out laughing as Finn throws a scatter cushion at Puck and it makes contact with his face.

"In your dreams Puckerman," Finn says through his chuckles

"Nightly, but it's your last chance Berry"

"Thank you Noah, for your very generous offer, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline as I'm rather attached to this very tall studly Man right here, (she caresses the side of Finn's face and nips his ear lobe gently with her teeth before pecking him on the lips in a sweet kiss) I'm sorry you are just not tall enough Noah, but thank you so much for asking." I'm certain you will find a very nice lady one day who would love to try a piece of your Puckasaurus Pie. More laughter fills the room as Rachel hops up off Finns lap and leans up and presses a kiss on the cheek of a blushing Noah Puckerman, he doesn't miss though the soft smile and look of interest in the bright blue eyes of the very attractive auburn headed Liz.

After a BBQ and salad dinner (much easier with the large crowd) and Kurt trying to persuade Finn and Rachel to spend the night in separate beds, his idea being totally shot down in flames by both parties he gave up, and with an Oscar winning performance he huffed in fake annoyance and flounced out of the room dragging Blaine by the hand. The sounds of laughter following. Each couple then retreated to their sleeping quarters after bidding each other goodnight with an extra kiss and excited hug for Finn and Rachel.

The minute they had entered their room and Rachel had clicked the door lock into place, Finn pounced and pressed her against the door her breath leaving her lungs in a soft whoosh, as she was trying to quell her surprised squeal Finns lips assisted her as they clamped onto hers. His teeth nipping her bottom lip and his tongue flicking against her lips asking for entry, his moans and mumbled words filling the air as the tiny love of his life, answered him with her own. One hand combing through his hair and idly playing with the small curls at the nape of his neck while her other one found its way under his flannel over shirt and cotton tee, rubbing his warm back in little circles. Before moving to his waist and attempting to undo the decorative Bon-Jovi buckle on his jeans, a small growl leaving her throat in frustration at the inability to remove said buckle and belt one handed. Finn pulls away smirking, through his rushed breathing before asking,

"Is there something you want babe? Can you use some help there?"

"You know very well what I want and yes if you could be so kind as to remove this obstruction, I would be most appreciative Mr Hudson."

"Of course Mrs Hudson, whatever I can do to help." as Finn removes his hands from Rachel's body and starts to undo his belt and remove his jeans, Rachel moved from against the door over towards their bed and was sitting on the side legs curled up underneath her body, he notices Rachel has gone quiet, concerned he turns to look at her only to find tears in her eyes and a sad look on her flushed face.

"Baby what's wrong? Did I hurt your face? Do you need more ice? I'll just go an…."

"No- no honey, it doesn't hurt, it's just when you called me Mrs Hudson, it just reminded me that my Dads' won't be there tomorrow and will never get the chance to meet you and share in our happiness . I know it is probably silly to get upset seeing as they have been gone for so long, but I 'spose it was always just expected they would be there to walk me down the aisle and …."

"Oh baby girl I'm so very sorry you've had to be without them for so long, but I promise to try and fill the void they left by always being here for you. And I know for a fact that Blaine is so very proud to walk you down the aisle in their place, I think he is more nervous though in case he trips or something." He smiles as a wet giggle escapes her lips,

"We will always remember your Dad's and I'm sure we can come up with some way of incorporating their names into our babies names I'm thinking either Michael or Nicholas Leham spelt (L.E.H.A.M) it a combination of both Leroy and Hiram plus it's different from the regular spelling but not too unusual." He looks at his bride to be with a soft, happy for the future and it's as though he can already see their baby look.

Rachel nods her head in agreement and sniffles a little and says softly "I love you Finny, but baby, what about girls' names, I don't our little girl to have a boys' name."

"Of course not I just know she will be as tiny and beautiful as you so…, I'm thinking Allisa- Michele or Nicola Louise, or maybe we can put Carole or Ann after my Mom if you want."

"I think those names are just perfect and I can't wait until we have our babies, thank you baby I love you so much, soo…on that note I think it's time to continue what we started before I got all sad, now I seem to remember you removing your clothes, so why don't you continue with that then help me out of mine, Hmm?. We can practice and when we are ready to make our finchel babies we will know what to do, after all practice does make perfect."

She give him a cheeky wink and leans up to kiss his mouth before laying down against the pillows and opening her arms as an invitation for him to join her on the bed. He didn't hesitate, the rest of his clothing was removed in record time and Rachel's clothes found their way to the floor just as quickly. It is probably fortunate that Carole and Ben had Finn's room soundproofed during his teenage drumming years, because the moans and sounds the very much in love betrothed couple on the eve of their nuptials, were making as they enjoyed each other would have woken the whole household.

(November 18 - 9:30am Finn and Rachel's Wedding Day)

Finn woke with a start when the thumping on the door broke into his sleep filled mind, looking over at the glowing green numbers of the clock on the nightstand that read 9:30am, and groaning Finn unwrapped one arm from around his toasty warm, softly snoring and still sleeping fiancée and rubbed his eyes trying to figure out who and why they were banging on his door. Once he was fully awake he realized it was Kurt's voice so he begrudgingly removed himself from Rachel's arms and legs and slid out of bed hunting through his dresser for a pair of sweatpants and t-shirt, before padding over and opening the door to find a peeved Kurt leaning up against the door frame arms crossed and tapping his foot in irritation.

"Morning man, how can I help you at this early hour?" Finn yawns and rubs one hand over his unshaven face while his other runs through his messy bed hair trying to neaten it.

"You call this early? Finn it is 9:30am it is nearly midday, do you know what today is? Finn Hudson"

"Um yeah it's Saturday, our wedding is this afternoon, so… did you wake me up just to ask me a silly question or…?"

"Humph" is all that leaves Kurt's mouth

"Dude just tell me what you want, or let me go back to bed please"

"Rachel" Kurt finally states in an exasperated tone.

"Sorry? Bro, I know she loves you, but I'm pretty sure both Blaine and myself would have something to say if you ran off with her on our wedding day, no offense but I really think she prefers my dic…."

"Oh for gods' sake Finn I'm not going to run off with Rachel for sex, or anything else, but if she doesn't soon get out of bed she will be late for her hair and makeup appointment at the salon, you have 30 minutes to get her up and showered and downstairs, or I'll come back and get her ready myself!"

"Who's running off with me? Sorry Kurtsie, as much as I love you I can't steal you away from Lainey, plus I really don't think you can do to me the things that Finny does." She sends a flirty look at her tall fiance and squeezes his ass. Giggling at the annoyed look on her brother in laws face, as he rolls his eyes and turns away from the door tapping his wrist to indicate a watch and telling her again in a firm voice that she now had 25 minutes. Then walking towards the stairs shaking his head, muttering about sex addicts and eye bleaching, making his way down stairs to corral the other ladies and make sure Rachel's gown and veil that were hanging in Carole's walk in closet were all ready for her.

He takes a seat at the kitchen table to mentally run through and tick off all the preparation that had been completed so Finn and Rachel could have the perfect day, the reception center was decorated beautifully with a fall color scheme, white cloth covered tables, and wine colored napkins. Fan shaped centerpieces of burgundy chrysanthemums mixed with white roses and purple edged yellow carnations, deep burgundy calla lilies and dark green fern fronds. The color scheme was the same for the garden where the actual wedding ceremony would be held. Everything was perfect, the bridesmaids' floor length satin halter neck dresses in a deep burgundy with a overlay of decorative burgundy lace looked stunning with their fan shaped bouquets of mixed fall colored flowers that tied in with the general theme, that included yellow, purple edged carnations, burgundy spider chrysanthemums, orange gerberas' and white roses contrasting with deep green foliage, the perfume from the fresh flowers was intoxicating but not overwhelming and the fact the venue was partly outdoors was lovely. The weather forecast for today was cool but no snow so they would be able to have the big glass doors open, for a while at least.

Kurt is shaken from his musings by a soft kiss to his smooth cheek and the whisper of "I'm sorry love, for teasing you before" as Rachel smiles at him, hair still damp and falling over her shoulder in a strawberry scented swathe, she was dressed casually in jeans, tucked into low boots, and a zip up sweater top that falls nearly to her knees, the arms rolled up to her elbows, which makes him think it is one of Finn's. Her shinning happy face free from makeup and looking relaxed and her eyes bright with happiness, you could feel the excitement rolling off her in waves.

"Well Mr Man of honor, I made it downstairs per your precise instructions and inside the allotted time, and am now ready to go and be made beautiful, so let's go Sir, I've a very important engagement to attend this afternoon, and really don't want to be late, even though I understand it is my prerogative to be."

"You already are stunningly beautiful, so just make sure you come back and don't run off with any Puckerman clones." Finn says softly leaning down to mesh his lips with hers and after a few minutes she pulls away gasping for air, her face flushed with color, as Kurt now standing, rolls his eyes and snorts at the ludicrous idea of the tiny brunette ever leaving the too tall Policeman.

"Bye Baby I'll see at the altar, look for me. I'll be the one in the pretty white dress, love you Mr Hudson."

"I'll be waiting baby girl, I love you too Mrs Hudson."

"Oh for heaven's sake, you two, we all know you love each other and you're going to be Mr and Mrs Hudson, but for the love of all that is holy can we please go NOW!"

Everyone burst into loud giggles as Kurt in exasperation, motions for the other girls and Carole, to head for the car while he grabs Rachel's hand and pretty much drags her out the door Finn's voice following them as he yells "Hey man be careful with my girl she's important to me, I LOVE YOU RACH."

"I LOVE TO TOO FINNY SEE YOU SOON."

By the time 3:00pm rolled around Finn was so ready to just get married already, he was standing (well not so much standing more like bouncing with excitement and very eager to see his beautiful girl) at the side of the red carpet covered aisle, next to the celebrant who was standing at the very end of the aisle. (As neither he or Rachel were particularly religious they had opted for a informal service) Finn was still dressed to perfection in a black tux, crisp white shirt and black bow tie, his boutonniere comprising of a single burgundy calla lily, backed by a white fern frond. Next to him stood Puck, Sam and Mike dressed the same but with a purple edged yellow carnation and green fern frond attached to their jacket lapel. His eyes were trained on the double white doors at the end of the aisle waiting for his love.

Soon Finn sees the doors open and Kurt slowly walk out dressed in a suit, the color matching the bridesmaid's dresses exactly, followed by Hayley and Liz, looking fantastic in their deep burgundy dresses, their hair in a French twist with a small spray of delicate white flowers tucked into it. He takes a deep breath when he hears the beautiful instrumental version of Journeys' 'Faithfully' begin he knows Rachel is nearly here. So when he sees Blaine with such a proud look on his face and his dark eyes moist, starting to walk slowly, Rachel's, white satin gloved arm hooked through his, Finn starts forward, only to be pulled back by a tug on his jacket by Puck and a whispered "Hold on Huddy" in his ear. Finn is absolutely breathless at the sight of his Rachel, enveloped in a strapless floor length white satin gown, the bodice overlaid with fine lace, and fitted tight from her breasts to her hips before flaring out slightly at the knees, and ending in a small train. Her beautiful brunette locks are styled in a fancy, half up do, with a section curled and left to rest over her right shoulder, her face hidden from him by a waist length lace veil, attached to her head by a circlet of white and burgundy silk rose buds. Her little hand clasping tightly her fragrant bouquet of mixed fall colored flowers, their stems bound together by a wide burgundy ribbon.

When Blaine finally places Rachel's hand in Finn's all he can do is smile at her through his tears and lift his face briefly to give Blaine a one armed hug and say "thank you" . He then looks down at his beautiful bride and utters softly "You are mine, I love you."

Rachel sniffs away her own tears thankful the beautician insisted on waterproof mascara and eyeliner, and says in a soft voice "I'm yours for life, I love you so much."

When they had controlled themselves Finn takes a look at the assembled group and sees his mom wiping her continuous stream of tears and Ben holding her hand, his own eyes moist. Blaine is doing pretty much the same thing, and as Rachel passes her bouquet and gloves, over to Kurt he leans forward and places a kiss on her veil covered cheek.

The celebrant clears his throat and asks for every ones attention as he begins the ceremony

"Family and friends it is my very great pleasure to welcome you all here today

To share this very special day with Finn and Rachel

They have chosen to spend their lives together as partners

In all aspects of their lives and to always do their up-most to love and support the other, but

Before we get to the exchanging of the vows and rings, is there anything, anyone would like to say on behalf of either party?

Blaine steps forward and turns to face the assembled guests.

"I would just like to welcome Finn officially into our family, and want him to know that from the first time we met I knew he and Chele would make a beautiful couple, so thank you Finn for loving Rachel and being the one to bring back her beautiful smile. I am so proud of you Chele and know Dads' are here in spirit, I love you both very much."

As he finishes speaking both Rachel and Finn moved from their place, and hugged him tightly between them, before again taking their positions and waiting for the service to continue.

"Thank you Blaine is there anyone else..."

"I want to pretty much say the same as Blaine, I first met Rachel after Finn was injured on the job last year, when she wasn't sitting by Finn's bedside, singing or talking to him, she was making sure Ben and I were comfortable and had everything we needed, I don't think she slept for the entire two days Finn was unconscious, and that just proves how big her heart is and I'm so thankful and lucky to have her call me Mom, thank you Rachel for being the only woman in Finn's life besides myself to see something special in him and love him for just being Finn." Carole didn't wait for Finn and Rachel to move she rushed over to them wrapping her arms around both of them tears flooding all three faces.

"My word this is truly a match made in heaven, I don't think I've felt this much emotion in a room in years, now let's proceed"

"Finn if you please"

"Rachel, I feel so proud to be your husband. Having you beside me makes me glow. With all your tenderness, support and strength, knowing I can lean on you if I need to, makes my fears less. You have given me so much. I love your quietness, I love your smile. I love the way you love me. Just the way I've always wanted to be loved. You encourage my personal growth. You listen and support me as no one else has ever done before. Today, the first day of the rest of our lives, I commit myself to you.

I love you Rachel and promise to always be whatever you need me to be for the rest of my life, and I am so very thankful to have met you and know from the very bottom of my heart that you are now, and will always be my one and only love, so Please accept this ring as a token of my unending love."

As Finn reaches a shaky hand out to place the tiny gold band on her finger Rachel's tears begin anew.

"Rachel your turn"

"Finn, you are my best friend and my one true love. When I'm with you, I feel I can be the person I want to be, and I cannot imagine my life without you. You make me smile, you stick up for me, you take care of me and you are always interested in what I have to say and do. Today, I want to make a promise to you and to myself, in front of our friends and family, to love and honor, protect and respect you for the rest of my life.

I vow to trust and value your opinions, and stand by your actions. I pledge to always treat you as my best friend, and equal. I will ask for help when I need it, and offer help when necessary. Let us be friends and lovers, and grow old together. And let us make all the years of our lives together be the best years of our lives.

Finn, I love you more than I could ever express in a 100 lifetimes, and ask you to accept this ring as my everlasting promise to always respect and care for you as your partner, and as your best friend in our new journey through life as one, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be the one to love you faithfully for the rest of my life and be part of something special with you."

As Rachel pushes Finn's very much larger wedding band over his bumpy knuckle she giggles a little.

"Well, it is my very great pleasure to say, you may now kiss the bride"

So Finn does just that, once he lifts the veil that is hiding his wife (god I like the sound of that) he thinks to himself and presses his lips against Rachel's again and again with increasing degree's of pressure, until breathing becomes quite difficult, and they both reluctantly pull away panting heavily. The newly wedded couple take a few minutes to calm down before signing their marriage certificate with Kurt and Puck as their witness's , and shaking the celebrants hand in thanks, then as Finn and Rachel turn to face their guests he announces

"Ladies and Gentlemen presenting Mr and Mrs Finn Hudson"

A loud cheer goes up and everyone is on their feet clapping as 'Finchel' make their way down the aisle to the soft piano melody of another 'Journey' favorite, 'don't stop believing', under a shower of confetti. But before they get to the door to the reception hall it slams open bouncing against the wall. Standing in the doorway is an enraged, sweatsuit clad, Quinn Fabray who begins screaming that Finn should have been hers and Rachel was an ugly, lying, man stealing slut, and if it weren't for the fact that Blaine and Artie (who rolled his chair into her path) had run interference there was no doubt in anyone's mind she would have attacked Rachel.

Finn is incensed at the disruption to their wedding day, and gently pushes Rachel behind his body keeping a tight hold on her left hand, as Puck and the other groomsmen stand in a circle around them making sure Rachel was protected.

Once Finn knows Rachel is safe and the fact he can feel her right hand gripping his belt tightly he opens his mouth and lets loose his anger at the blonde.

"How dare you barge into our wedding and talk such utter crap Fabray, I am not yours nor had I ever intended to reach this step with you, that was only 'your' twisted high school fantasy. You blew any chance of me ever wanting anything what's so ever to do with you ever again, right out of the water when you slept with my friend, and further more I am not your child's father so you have no business telling that poor innocent little boy such lies. So make sure you are listening very carefully Ms Fabray because, I will tell you again as you seem to have forgotten what I said to you 5 or so years ago, I want nothing to do with you, if you want a father for your son go and find his real father and make him own up to his responsibilities do not barge in here uninvited and spread your filthy lies, and furthermore if you ever come near or touch my wife in an unprovoked attack again, we will have you charged to the full extent of the law, now remove yourself from the premises or I'll be forced to call the police, and as it happens quite a few of my, 'colleagues' from the New York Police Department are here today."

Rachel, who still has a tight hold on Finn, peeks around his large body shyly, her tiny body buzzing with annoyance at the interruption to her and Finn's special day. Thankfully the disturbance is short-lived as Quinn is being escorted out of the center by Blaine and Puck, one man on either side holding her upper arm firmly, and Blaine telling her in a very direct but polite manner reiterating Finn's words, to forget about him and go on with her life by owning up to her mistake and being honest with her son, as he was the innocent one, and if she comes near Rachel again they will take serious legal action against her and the fact that he is a lawyer he can promise her he will make sure it happens.

At the edge of the parking lot they let go of her arms and make sure she climbs into her car, but before she drives away, a mouthful of curse words are aimed at them and a comment that the marriage is destined to fail because she is a lying, ugly hobbit bitch, and he would leave her for someone better very soon.

Blaine takes a deep breath and walks up to her car bending down to her level his brown eyes hard, and in a clear unsympathetic voice, his face very close to hers, "If you are of the belief that, that someone is you, then you are sadly mistaken as there is no one better for Finn than Rachel they are tethered by a bond so strong that nothing will ever break them apart, so grow up and get on with your life, Finn is not now and never will be yours! Goodbye Ms Fabray."

He is showered in gravel as the blonde still cursing through the car window while offering Blaine and Puck a rude hand gesture, breaks the speed limit out of the parking lot.

Puck clamps a firm hand on Blaine's shoulder, "Come on man, we've said what needed to be said. Plus if we are late for the photo shoot Berry will kill us. We also have a party to get to, and there is a hot looking bridesmaid that I need to instruct in the Puckerman 'style' of dance", he says with a wiggle of his eyebrows and cheeky smirk.

Blaine starts to laugh as he nods in agreement and says. "I agree I've had my eye on the very sexy Man of honor all day, so maybe I can borrow your lesson book?" The two men make their way back inside arms around each others shoulders the sound of their laughter preceding them into the venue. A anxious Kurt meeting them at the front door, quickly grabbing Blaine's hand and tugging him away to a private corner presumably to check for injuries, Blaine winks at Puck over his shoulder as he lets his fiance fuss over him, stopping his ministrations after a few minutes by taking hold of Kurt's face and laying a deep kiss on his lips.

Puck just shakes his head, laughing as he rubs his hands together and says loud enough for Blaine and Kurt to hear, "I don't think you need my book dude. Ok Puck, let's go man it's time for lesson one."

Kurt sends a questioning look at Blaine about Puck's comment, but Blaine just smiles and shakes his head telling his fiance not to worry about it and kisses him again.

After almost an hour and a half of posing for what felt like hundreds of photo's that Rachel requested be taken. The rest of the evening went by in a blur for the newlyweds, as the wedding ceremony had been informal so was the reception. The guests' were enjoying the wonderful buffet that contained a selection of different foods as well as a seemingly limitless supply of champagne which made for lots of UN-coordinated dancing, especially on the groom's part, but amazingly his tiny bride didn't seem to mind having her toes crushed, though she solved the toe stomping problem by just looping her tiny arms around her tall husbands neck, laying her head against his warm solid chest, which in turn made him wrap his arms around her waist, allowing the couple to just sway in the one spot. It was more like a big party than a wedding, no one really made any speeches, though Finn and Rachel did stand up and offer their sincere thanks to everyone. A special presentation of a beautiful cut crystal photo frame was made to Carole and Ben for organizing things in Lima. Carole was in tears and wouldn't stop hugging her son and his new wife. Kurt got a special mention for designing and making Rachel's beautiful gown as well as Liz and Hayley's dresses along with his own very stylish suit. Finn then took over the microphone and in a slightly slurred voice, thanked on behalf of himself and his beautiful wife, everyone who attended especially those friends who traveled from New York, to help them celebrate their very special day, but made sure to point out, much to the embarrassment of Rachel, (who had hid her red face against his side, the whole time trying to get him to sit down), amid laughter and wolf whistles "that as he and his wife were going to be too busy consummating their marriage to see anyone tomorrow he wished everyone an enjoyable night and a safe trip home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~33333~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Good morning Mrs Hudson, how is my beautiful sexy wife today?" Finn whispers in a seductive tone, while his left hand makes its way from Rachel's naked hip to her breast caressing it gently, smiling as Rach's nipple hardens, his lips find that spot on her neck that drives her wild, and suck it until a red mark is visible, before swiping his hot tongue over to soothe it. The moans that escape her slightly open mouth go straight to his groin, and he can't help but move his mouth from her soft neck and press his hungry mouth against hers, urging her with his lips, to wake up because he was feeling lonely, and desperately wanting her attention. He pulls away noticing a smirk forming on Rachel's lips. "Baby girl, you know I think it is written somewhere in the marriage rule book that a wife is not supposed to neglect her husband, and I'm feeling very, very verrry neglected, Raacchh…"

He pouted playfully, at the giggle that involuntarily escaped her lips before pressing his own against them, and running his tongue along the bottom one, whilst his left hand meandered down her toned, warm honey colored body, to her tight firm butt and squeezed. His large hand instinctively following the contours of her hip and thigh, his long fingers finding the entrance to her secret place, which was now waxed smooth. His breath hitched at the tingles running through his body, and felt his cock which was now fully erect, twitch at the way her bareness turned him on, even more than she did normally. He wasn't sure what to make of it but wanted to continue, maybe it was the fact that they were husband and wife and he was now and evermore bound to her by an unbreakable bond of steel, he wasn't sure but whatever it was, there was nowhere else he ever wanted to be. But he was 200% sure she was without a doubt the best thing to ever happen to him.

"Well good morning to you too, Mr Hudson; is there something I can do for you?" He looks into her deep brown eyes that are twinkling with sexy mischief at her words he felt her tiny hand reach under the covers and grasp him firmly running her hand up and down in a firm but smooth motion, giggling again at the moan that was uttered from his puffy and slightly parted lips.

"Why yes Mrs Hudson I think there is something that you can do for me, you can start by honoring your contractual obligation as my wife by kissing me again, so my lips don't get an abandonment complex, and make sure your hand continues with its task because we wouldn't want poor Finn Jr to feel bad either."

"Hmm, we can't have Finn Jr feeling left out now can we? You're right I did say that I would always care for you didn't I?" Well then Mr Hudson please allows me to honor that promise and continue with my 'hands on approach."

"Approach away my dear" softly escaped his lips just as he felt Rachel shimmy down his body pressing kisses along the way.

Rachel squirmed down until her head was level with his hips and while she was leaving butterfly kisses along his torso, her hand had again found Finn's rock hard erect cock and she said cheekily "Can I just say that Finn jr doesn't feel too bad at all" before she proceeded to take him into her mouth and suck his tip swirling her tongue around the head then swiping up and down his length like it was a Popsicle, the sounds Finn was uttering going straight to her tingling core and igniting the fire in her soul, while her mouth and right hand were busy Rachel's left hand was kneading Finn's sack, his large hands tangled in her hair, and before long she felt him tense. He groaned out what Rachel deciphered as "fuck" before he gripped her shoulders and pretty much dragged her back up his body, falling out of her mouth with a rather loud 'plop' sound. As he impaled her on his stiff cock, he uttered in more breath than actual words. "Fuck baby", Rachel quickly adjusted to him, humming in satisfaction as he stretched her, by adding her own moans and sighs to their own special symphony.

He thrust his hips upwards keeping a tight hold on Rachel's hips while she had her palms flat on his chest, her head back and her hair tickling his thighs, while she slowly moved her hips in a figure eight movement. Every now and then lifting her pelvis up off Finn, then dropping back down and grinding her pulsing core hard against him.

"I love you so much Finny, more than I could ever express and I'm so, so happy to be able to spend the rest of my life with you.".

"I don't think there is a word in the English language that could describe how much I am in love with you." he pants out, his hips jerking until he feels the tell tale tightening in his balls, he quickly flips them over and gives another couple of hard thrusts before falling over the edge and emptying himself inside his love, as he cums it triggers Rachel's own explosion and she contracts her muscles around him, then joins him falling over the precipice of ecstasy. Laying her head on his chest and succumbing to slumber still connected, knowing all is good and right in their world.

Finn and Rachel had decided months ago, to postpone their honeymoon until Christmas time. As they have already had two weeks leave, and are staying in Lima at the 'Four Seasons Motel' in the executive suite for the rest of weekend before heading back to New York, on Monday morning as it a school free day for Rach, Finn had swapped shifts for the day with Puck, who flew out on the Sunday with all the other New Yorkers. As it's nearly winter break and Finn was lucky enough to have a good amount of unused leave recorded from past years, he was able to organize with captain Posen to use a block of it for his honeymoon. He and Rachel had decided on the week between Christmas & New Year to travel to Florida, where they could just lounge about on the beach in their bathing suits, and do the whole Disneyland tourist thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~33333~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(6 months later -June)

Rachel has been feeling unwell especially first thing in the morning, and is certain she is pregnant. The fact she hasn't had a period in 2 months, and not taken her birth control for just over 4 months, makes it an indisputable conclusion in her mind. Which in turn makes her extremely happy, but she wants to have herself diagnosis confirmed by her doctor before telling Finn, which was the reason she is sitting, at this very moment waiting with an excited jitteryness swirling around her insides, to see, Dr. Stone.

Finn had been worried about her but she told him it was probably just a summer tummy bug or something, and not to worry, she would see him tonight, maybe they could have a picnic dinner in the park, and saying as the weather wasn't too hot it would be a nice change. He nods and gives her his sexy half smile showing his dimple off to perfection before leaving her with a deep kiss on her mouth that makes her legs wobbly and her stomach erupt with the fluttering of thousands of butterflies. As she hears the front door close her hand instinctively moves to her lower abdomen and rubs gently, whispering to the air.

"I know you are in there baby Hudson, I can't wait to see the look on your Daddy's face tonight when he finds out about you, you are going to be the luckiest baby in the entire country to have Finn Hudson as your Daddy. He will be the best Daddy in the world; I love you already so much, and I know he will too."

"Good morning Rachel, what can I do for you today?"

"Yes it is a good morning Dr. Stone; I am pretty sure I am pregnant but would like you to please confirm it for me before I tell my husband the good news."

"OK then let me just ask a few questions, firstly when did you stop using birth control? And how long since you've had a period? And have you had any symptoms, such as nausea or any aversion to foods or smells or even a general sensation of just feeling off?"

"I stopped my birth control about 4 months ago, and haven't had a period for about 2. I feel a bit nauseous when I first get up in the morning but it seems to calm down after I eat, I find just toast with sliced banana drizzled with honey and warm ginger tea help, I have been feeling a little more tired by the afternoon, but put it down to it being summer. My poor husband is very worried about me though."

"OK Rachel well from what you have told me , my official opinion is that you are most possibly pregnant, but let's do a couple of tests to make sure, I'll just take a blood sample and while we wait for that, take this specimen cup and give me a urine sample." While Dr. Stone is getting the equipment ready Rachel is beside herself with happiness anticipating the results. After about 20 minutes Rachel is called back into the Doctors office, after she takes a seat she watches the older man intently, trying to read his poker face, when her brow scrunches with concern, his face breaks into a big smile and he holds his hand out for Rachel to shake,

"Congratulations Rachel you are indeed pregnant it's very early I would suggest from your dates that you are about 5- 6 weeks along, but I would like you to come in for an ultra sound very soon so we can have a look and take measurements and such, also to make sure everything is ok. Just make an appointment with my receptionist on your way out and if you or your husband have any problems or questions please call me, I will see you again when we take some pictures of your little one, then every 4 weeks until you reach about 28 weeks, twice a month till about 36 weeks then weekly until you deliver, I'll give you some pamphlets on how to eat right and exercise that's recommended and other useful information."

"Thank you so much Dr. Stone, I will make that appointment for an ultra sound straight away." She said smiling brightly.

Rachel Hudson practically skips out of the Doctors office that fine Tuesday morning, after making an appointment for the coming Thursday at 4: pm, after Finn finished work. She was planning in her head the perfect dinner with a few of Finn's favorite foods for their picnic in the park. But first she wanted to stop and get him a little gift to commemorate this exciting new step in their lives.

"What's up with you man, the novelty worn off the newly married sex already?", Puck asks as he slaps Finn on the back as they make their way through the police station lobby after noticing the worried look on his face.

"Fuck off Puckerman, I'm worried about Rach OK, she hasn't been herself lately I think she must have some sort of tummy bug or something, she puts it down to that anyway, and for your information, our sex life which I might add is none of your concern, but as you seem to have a creepy perverted interest in it, is just perfect thank you very much. Anyway why are you interested in my sex life don't you have your own woman to worry about? Or has she figured out that you are a kitten in the bedroom and has to show you what to do?"

"Fuck you man, Liz is more than happy with the repeat nightly performances from the Puckerman love machine, and there is nothing kittenish about it dude, it's more like a fucking lion, being that they are the kings' of the jungle and all that shit, although I must rock her world so much, every single freaking time that it makes her forget my name, 'cause all I hear is GOD oh GOD…"

Finn can't help but laugh out loud at his buddies antics, but he knows thanks to the information, he overheard Liz telling Rach a couple of weeks ago that she is in love with him and had realized at the wedding that there was something between herself and Noah, well Puck, as Rach is still the only one to call him Noah despite his repeated requests to call him Puck, Liz's declaration made both women squeal like little girls gushing over their first crush. Finn also knows how much Puck is in love with Liz, as he is planning to ask her to marry him very soon; he has the ring already and is waiting until Liz's birthday in July to pop the question. Finn is thankful Puck finally met a woman who could break through his tough exterior to find the good man underneath all the sex shark garbage, and the fact she is a smart, well educated professional woman tells Finn that it is the real deal for both of them.

After spending his working day following up on a couple of burglary cases and visiting what seemed like hundreds of pawn shops, and writing it all up for the files, he took a break about 1:30 and went down town a ways to his favorite, coffee shop to grab some lunch. He always unconsciously took a good look around every time he entered any coffee shop just as a precaution, because after what happened with Rach's stalker he was now always wary. They had heard, again through Blaine's legal channels that Alex Greyborne, the woman who had had a dangerous infatuation with Rachel and had in the last year or so spent some time in jail as well as court ordered therapy, was now doing OK, she had joined a support group for others' with similar issues, plus she had mentioned in her letter that she had formed a caring relationship with a guy named Evan Woodson, who like her had been abandoned. He had been abused by various foster fathers and in one family it was the mother that was the abuser forcing him into sexual acts when he was 12 years old and then hitting him with a riding crop to stop him saying anything, she was eventually found out when a teacher at school noticed the bruises and welts on his back after helping him up when he was tripped over by another student during Phys- Ed.

Finn was very glad to hear Alex had sorted out and was overcoming her problems as no one deserved to be treated like that. As much as it hurt everyone concerned at the time he would always be grateful to her for giving him the chance to meet Rachel. Thinking of his wife he dug his cell out of his pocket and pressed speed dial # 1 while it was ringing he placed his order for a turkey and salad sandwich, his regular extra large coffee with cream and a dusting of chocolate and a slice of apple pie.

"Hello handsome, how has your day been?"

"Hey beautiful, I've had a good day so far, I just getting some lunch, to see me through the afternoon, I'll be starving by dinner so I hope the picnic basket will be full. But more importantly how are you do you still feel sick or do you need me to come home early and take you to the doctors?"

"Finny calm down baby, I'm OK it was like I thought just a 'little bug' in my tummy, I'll be fine I promise. I have already made some goodies to go in the basket, and will meet you at our spot in the park about 5: pm OK, I have a couple of little errands to do on the way then for the rest of the evening I'm yours."

"I can't wait baby girl but as long as you are sure you are OK, and it won't be too much for you lugging that giant basket across town, love you Rach, and I'll see you later, I have to go now babe my order is ready sorry."

"I'll be fine Finny I'll catch a cab, see you later I love you too."

As Rachel hangs up she grins like a fool at the little gold star covered box, on her lap that contains a tiny pair of lemon and pastel green striped booties with an even smaller lady bug embroidered on the ankle.

Before catching the cab about 4:30 Rachel stops by 'The World at Your Finger tips' and heads straight to the baby section searching for the couple of books Dr. Stone recommended, smiling widely when she spotted the cover's of 'What to expect when you're Expecting' and 'So you're going to be Parents'. As she made her way to the counter she shivered with a memory of what happened in the store and the aftermath, but nothing could spoil her good mood she was just too happy and couldn't wait to get to the park. So after hailing a cab and telling the driver where she wanted to go, she settled back smiling the whole way and at the end of her journey giving the driver a bigger than normal tip before wishing him a nice evening.

Rachel made her way down the path towards their bench, pulling the rolling picnic basket behind her. She soon spotted her handsome sexy husband sitting down arms stretched along the back of the bench and his long legs spread out in front, his suit jacket draped across the back of the seat, looking casual with his shirt sleeves rolled up exposing his muscular forearms, and his tie loose, sunglasses perched atop his head. Watching the families playing she followed his line of vision to where it stopped on a young father playing 'airplanes' with his little girl, who was squealing with excitement. Finn had a soft smile plastered across his face and she instinctively knew what he was thinking about, just as she lifted her eyes off the happy family, they made contact with his twinkling cinnamon ones. He immediately jumped up from the bench and jogged towards her picking her up off the ground and spinning them in a circle, before pressing his lips against hers.

"Finny, baby stop you're making me dizzy," a small giggle escaping her lips

"Oh sorry babe, I was just happy to see you, I forgot for a minute you weren't feeling well"

"It's OK honey, I'm much better now than I was this morning, though I do have some news for you, shall we put down the rug and get comfortable first?"

Finn had a worried look on his face but undid the strap holding the chequered red and white picnic rug to the basket, and laid it under the giant oak tree next to the bench before starting to unpack the many containers of food, Rachel sat down and unpacked her suitcase sized purse, unloading the 'special items' she had purchased earlier. When Finn turned around to face her and knelt down to give her another kiss in thanks for his favorite foods, his knee landed on the hard cover of what felt like a book or something, hidden inside a paper carry bag, he looked at the item in question with a puzzled look and asked "Babe?"

"Finny, I went to see Dr. Stone this morning" his anxious look deepening, "Well he told me what is wrong with me…"

"And… what did he say?"

"Well it was nothing to be scared about, but I think this will explain" and hands him the small star covered box, with a kiss on his cheek. He glances at the box in his hands and then at her smiling face, she nods encouragingly, before he gingerly lifts the lid off and pulls away the piece of white tissue paper, hiding the mystery object. When his fingers make contact with the soft material his eyes water and he looks up at his wife who has a matching look of happiness in her dark brown depths.

"R-rach…?"

"You're going to be a Daddy honey, that's what Dr. Stone told me my off feeling was all about, it was because of our little 'Hudson bug', I had suspected I was pregnant but wanted to have it confirmed before telling you, I'm about 5-6 weeks along, the baby is due late January or early February we will be able to get a more definite due date when I have an ultra sound scan. I booked an appointment for 4 pm this coming Thursday, so we can see our baby; you can make it at that time can't you? If not I can try and change it, but I figured you would be finished at work by then …"

Before she can say anything else Finn has wrapped her in his arms and is placing kisses all over her face and his right hand making small circles over her still flat tummy, the tears dripping off his chin tell her he is more than happy with her news. All he can utter is soft "Thank you, thank you baby. That is the best news I've had since you told me you loved me the first time. I love you so very much and can't wait to take this journey with you, and our baby. Of course I'll be there for the ultra sound; I wouldn't miss it for the world. Have you told anyone else yet?"

"No, remember I told you ages ago when we got to this stage, besides me and the doctor you would be the first one to know, we should take a quick trip back to Lima and tell your mom and dad the news in person, what about the fourth of July holiday weekend? it is only about a fortnight away , and I remember seeing your roster, as you are not scheduled to work, we could fly out Friday night and come back Monday night what do you think? Plus I would love to see mom and talk baby stuff."

"Sounds like a plan, baby girl, so why don't we enjoy this fantastic meal you prepared and then go home and book our flights on line and I'll call Mom and Ben and you can call Kurt and Blaine, they will be so excited to be uncles, I can just see Kurt trying to design the nursery and wardrobe long before our 'Hudson bug' even arrives."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~33333~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

July 4th weekend (Lima)

Ben and Carol picked Finn and Rachel up from the Dayton airport about 5: pm on the Friday of the July 4th long weekend and wanted to take them out to dinner that night as a celebration and a thank you for making them grandparents. After a quick shower and change of clothes the happy and excited family, made their way to dinner at Bread sticks, and were just enjoying catching up over drinks, well the men had a beer and Carole a glass of white wine, Rachel chose to have soda water with a lime wedge, as she wanted to do everything right and give their baby the best chance to grow strong and healthy. Once they had all ordered their main meals, Carole presented Finn and Rachel with a pastel colored gift box decorated with smiling baby faced clouds. That she had somehow managed to smuggle in without the younger couple noticing, once the lid was removed Rachel let out a surprised but happy squeak at the tiny, hand knitted soft lemon colored, jacket, leggings, booties, mittens and a bonnet.

With tears in her eyes Rachel nearly climbs over the table to hug Carole "Oh my gosh, Mom, Ben, it is so beautiful thank you so much it will be just perfect for baby Hudson, look Finny isn't it just so cute?"

"Yea, babe it is thanks Mom, Dad. Poor Kurt will have to work hard to beat this outfit when he starts shopping I can just see him working his staff like machines to come up with original Hummel designs, our baby is going to be the best dressed one in Manhattan." A few more minutes is spent with Carole and Rachel discussing all things baby related. While Ben and Finn were talking about the wooden crib and assorted boxes of baby stuff that were most probably Finn's, that were just sitting gathering dust in the attic and perhaps they could get the stuff down and check it out while the kids were home. Finn was happily nodding at Ben's suggestion whist munching on a bread stick, when a loud gasp turned every ones attention to the waitress, holding the tray with their meals…

"So you're still around then, bitch. I figured Finn would have got rid of you by now and found someone Bette…"

Finn was thankful he was sitting on the outside of the booth, because when he looked up and saw the last person he wanted to ever see, Quinn Fabray, standing there glaring at Rachel who was running her fingers over the soft wool a serene smile gracing her features. Which fell away quickly once, Quinn slammed the tray onto the table and didn't even apologize as the rough action caused Finn and Ben's beer to be knocked over and spill into their laps. Rachel quickly put the lid back on the box to protect the baby clothes and put the box on the seat between her and the booth wall, turned to grasp Finns arm with one hand and tried to shrink into his side, while using napkins to mop up the spilt beer soaking into his trousers. Carole was attempting to help Ben on the other side, though he wasn't concerned about it and was pushing Carole's hands away and standing up to confront Quinn, who was still stood in place. But before Finn could undo Rachel's tight hold and speak, Ben addresses Quinn.

"Don't you speak to my daughter like that, who do think you are making a scene and interrupting a quiet family dinner, where is your manager? I want to make a complaint."

The Blonde just scoffs at Ben and continues to glare at Rachel while reaching a hand out intending to possessively rub Finn's bicep.

Finn unlatches his wife's tight hold on his arm and with a kiss on her cheek, stands up, sidesteps the blonde and uses his forearm to push away her hand, then puts a hand on Ben's shoulder saying softly "It's alright Dad, I'll handle this, thanks."

Ben nods and sits down asking Carole and Rachel if they are OK and while Carole answers with a nod and squeeze of his forearm, Rachel doesn't seem to hear his question as she has her eyes firmly on her husband scowling at the intrusion, thinking to herself that there must be something wrong with this woman if she can't understand Finn still doesn't want her after all this time.

Finn takes a deep breath, standing up straight, his impressive 6ft plus, solid frame towering over the woman in front of him; his voice takes on a steely hard tone as he addresses her.

"How dare you speak to my wife so rudely and intrude on a private family dinner. Just do your job and leave us the hell alone or do I need to make a formal complaint to the manager? All you are doing Ms Fabray is embarrassing yourself, and acting like a child by making a scene, now please go and ask another waitress to serve us and replace our drinks that you spilt, as we don't want to have our evening spoilt any further by your discourteous and unprofessional attitude." As Quinn huffs and turns away, Finn calls "Quinn" when she turns around a dark angry look burning in her green eyes, he leans closer and says darkly, "Stop hating on others for the way your life turned out due to your own behavior. Just grow up and maybe if you let go of the past you could be happy. We were never meant to be. Now for the last time leave my wife alone!"

The restaurant patrons, many of whom were glued to the scene at table 8, after a few minutes went back to their own business and soon the buzz of many conversations and the sound of cutlery against china was all that was heard. Finn calmed down immediately once he saw the worried look in Rach's wide brown eyes, he scooped her up into his lap and pressed his lips lovingly against hers whispering that everything was OK and he loved her and their 'little Hudson bug' so very much. He sent a look of gratitude across at his dad for defending Rach, before Ben got up and took away the tray with their now cold food, to speak with the manager.

Saturday was spent going through the half dozen boxes of clothes and things Carole had kept as mementos of Finn's babyhood. Ben was right about the crib. Once it had been taken down to the garage and they could get a good look at it, Rach was nearly in tears once she saw the carved rainbow and clouds on the head end, and even the little baby Finn teeth marks, on the side rails. Both Finn and Rachel loved it and said after it was stripped back and repainted it would be just perfect, there was also a mobile that surprisingly still worked and played 'somewhere over the rainbow', even Finn's old wooden highchair, that would look like new once it received a makeover, along with a bouncy chair and a couple of rainbow themed wall pictures. The clothes were still in excellent condition, but were of course, all boys' things. The parents to be, had yet to make a decision on whether they wanted to know the gender of their baby, but they still had plenty of time. Finn was secretly hoping for a girl, who he knew would be just as tiny and beautiful as her mom, but as long as both Rachel and the baby were healthy that was all that mattered, after all he figured the baby could only be either a boy or a girl, and he knew he would love either sex equally, plus what they didn't get this time, meant they would just have to keep practicing, for the next time. He must have had a goofy look on his face because Rach pokes him in his side, while calling his name.

"Finn, Finny hello? where did you go baby? You zoned out on me honey, I was asking you when did you think we could come back and pick up the crib and high chair, Ben said he would be happy to strip the pieces down as he has space in the garage to spread them all out, plus he said the paint stripper is pretty dangerous and didn't think it would be a good idea for me to be too close to the fumes. Then all you would have to do is paint them and put it all back together once we have the nursery ready. What do you think? "

"I think Mrs Hudson, that is the perfect idea, and I can't wait to start, but we do have a while yet, I know it would probably be cheaper to just buy a new crib and stuff, what with the cost of gas and all, but I really like the idea of the next generation of Hudson's, sleeping in the same crib I did, I guess it makes the circle complete you know..." His voice trails off for a minute which makes his wife look at him nervously. "Um… Rach, do you think I should try and find my real Dad and let him know? I mean…, I know I've thought of Ben as my Dad for the majority of my life, but Chris Hudson…. "

"If you want to renew contact with your father, then you should, I mean you told me he had a lot of problems once he came back from the war but was getting himself sorted out, and remember what he told you at your high school graduation? That he never stopped loving you or your Mom, but thought not being with you was best at the time. Maybe you should have a talk with Mom and get her opinion, though I'm sure he would be very proud of the man you have become and that you didn't succumb to the same problems he did after leaving the army, and after all a baby can't have too many grandparents." He notices the sad look in her eyes at that, but it is gone as quick as it came and she gives him a smile and reaches on her tippy toes to kiss him.

"How come you always know the right things to say to make me feel better about things that worry me, Hmm?"

"It's simple Finny I know and understand you, but most importantly I love you for you not just the decorated soldier or the NYPD detective you." Finn pulls Rachel into his chest and wraps his arms around her in a tight hug dropping kisses on the crown of her head. "Now why don't you go find Mom while Ben and I go for a little walk around the neighborhood." And look at the houses for sale because I like the idea of coming back here for vacations especially at Christmas time. Now off you go, shoo." Rachel gives him another quick kiss on the lips and attempts to push him out the door.

Finn smiles at her attempts, but is happy she supports him, in wanting to re-establish contact with his father, as much as he loves and respects Ben; it's not quite the same. He also thinks Rachel knows better than anyone else, about not having a father at this special time in their lives, so he thinks he owes it to her to try and contact his father.

Once he hears Rachel happily chattering Ben's ear off as they walk out the front door, he heads into the kitchen to find his mom, who is frosting his favorite chocolate cake, she smiles at him as he sits on the stool at the counter, dipping his long forefinger into the bowl of frosting, but her smile drops slightly when she notices the worried look on her son's handsome face.

"Finn, what's wrong honey?"

"Nothing Mom, you know I'm over the moon about the baby right?" she nods her beaming smile back on her pretty face, "I guess it just brought home the fact that Chris Hudson is out there somewhere and I was wondering what you thought about me try to re-establish contact with him, I mean I love Ben and think of him as my Dad, but now that I'm going to be a Dad myself I wanted to maybe talk to Chris and see how he is doing , I mean we have shared the same sort of experiences in the army and stuff," he runs his hand across the back of his neck and has a worried look still on his face though Carole thinks it's more of a not wanting to upset her by asking about his father. Rach thinks he would be proud of me and I sort of feel guilty that I have a father out there and she would dearly love to have her own around to share our baby with, and she did remind me of what he told me at my high school graduation. He wished me good luck when I told him I had joined the army, and hoped I would be strong enough to not let the horrors I was bound to see get to me , and to learn from his mistakes so I didn't lose the people close to me. He also said that he was proud of me and he had never stopped loving either you or me and was so very sorry but knew it wasn't fair to put us through all the shit he did. I didn't really know him but was still thankful that he even turned up after so long with no contact."

"Oh Honey I know he had a lot of problems when he came back from the war, but I tried so hard to help him for a long time until I just couldn't take anymore, I had you to consider and with working lots of jobs to make ends meet it just all became too hard and he wouldn't accept for many years that he had a problem, but Finny please don't ever think I didn't love him, and tried to keep you away from him, I was always sending him letters and pictures of you so he could keep up with your life but as you know he never returned any or tried to make contact even after I heard he had got better, I guess he thought it was too late by then. But I did love him so very much and you have all the best bits of him, the dimples, the cute half smile and the big loving heart, you are even a spitting image of him when he was younger, but you are better in the sense that even after seeing the same horrible things, in the army and to a lesser degree in the police force, you were strong enough to not let it get to you plus the biggest difference between you is that you talked about things and asked for help, he just kept it all inside." She stops talking for a few minutes to wipe her tears and take a couple of deep breaths. "I will support you all the way if you want to contact him, and I know Ben will understand, he has spoken to me before about whether you would want to contact Chris and is happy for you to do so, he loves you like his own and just wants you to be happy, is that why Rachel dragged him out of the house to look at real estate, this morning? So we could talk?"

"Yeah" Finn chuckles "she sure is a sneaky one, she seems to just know what I need without me asking"

"It is because she was meant to find you to love, and she sure does love you, and I' am so very happy for you both becoming parents, she is so much better for you than that 'other one' who by the way will hear from me if she ever carries on again like she did last night. I really feel for her poor little boy though he doesn't deserve to be used as a bargaining tool in his mother's twisted fantasy."

"I'm glad she found me too, Mom I'd just about given up hope of ever finding a girl that was honest, and who could love me for just for being me, the fact she is stunningly beautiful doesn't hurt either." He says with a wink, "With my extremely handsome looks and hers, our 'bug' is going to not only the best dressed but also the most beautiful baby in New York."

"I've no doubt about that at all, now instead of just sitting there eating all the frosting why don't you help by slicing these strawberries for me." Carole pushes a board, knife and bowl of the juicy red berries across the counter. As he starts to slice Finn can't help but picture Rachel eating one, the juice staining her plump lips, her big brown eyes sparking with desire, silently asking him to kiss it off, the image of that and what it usually leads to, makes his shorts feel uncomfortably tight. He must have had a goofy look on his face because suddenly he feels the sting of a dish towel on his bare forearm and looks up from his task to see his mom laughing at him, with a knowing look in her eyes,. He gives her a sheepish smile and blushes the same color as the fruit in front of him.

Later that night when she is snuggled up to Finn in their bed, she asks him softly "What does Mom think about him finding his father."

"Mom agreed with my decision and said she would support me in whatever way she could." Rachel nodded her head against his chest and pressed her lips just over his heart.

She then started to excitedly tell him about the couple of houses her and Ben saw on their walk, "Oh baby there was a single story one with built on garage with what looked like a studio on top, that I really liked, two streets over at 5 Parkside Avenue, it had a safe fenced in, not over large yard with a couple of tree's that would be perfect for a tree house and wasn't too far from the park, will you come with me tomorrow and have a look from the street, so I can get your opinion?"

Finn runs his hand along her arm and says "Of course baby girl, it sounds great, I quite like the idea of a tree house myself actually, and hey, it could be mine and bug's special project."

Rachel lifted her head from his firm chest and beamed at him, happiness shining in her beautiful brown eyes.

"I figured we would have time on Monday morning to have a look through with the realtor, as we don't need to be in Dayton to catch our plane till 5pm. I just hope the realtor's office will be open seeing as it is the 4th of July weekend. Maybe I should give them a call tomorrow and check."

"That sounds like a plan baby but if the office isn't open we can always take a look online and come back quickly another weekend to look or maybe Mom and Dad could have a look on our behalf and check it for structural soundness and whether it needs any work." He bends his head down to meet her raised lips and allows her tongue to invade his mouth, before their passionate kisses turn into something more.

November (Thanksgiving in Lima)

"Oh Blaine the design for the Finchel nursery is fantastic. I think Rachel and Finn will love it, though if I knew the gender of the baby it would be easier to finalize my design, but it won't be too much extra work to change once I know. I can't believe they haven't found out yet, I mean she is 7 months along, I know how much of a stickler for details she is and she wants everything to be a surprise but I can't wait to be Uncle Kurt, I've already told Finn and Rachel that the baby's wardrobe is to be chosen by me, as I can't have any relative of mine in chain store outfits."

"Oh Kurt stop stressing yourself out I'm very sure they will love the nursery design, but don't forget my love that it is their baby and therefore they have the final say in everything." At the pout forming on Kurt's face Blaine pulls his face down and presses a deep kiss to his lips and as he pulls away says softly "When we decide to have our own baby, the nursery and fashion depart will be yours to design however you want."

"But Blaine it has to be perfect and Rachel is being stubborn about things, especially the sex of the baby."

"Oh babe, you know I love you, but it is Finn and Chele's baby and if they want to be surprised just let them be, and please promise me Kurt, you won't worry Chele about clothes or anything at the moment. You know she is very hormonal and Finn is doing all he can to keep her from bursting into tears every 10 minutes over the silliest things, or she will yell at him for things like not having the jars in the pantry with their labels facing the front of the shelf. Or she does a complete turn around and demands he takes her to bed the minute he walks into a room, I'm not totally sure he minds that part of her hormonal mood swings but it is hard to know what mood she is likely to be in, at any given time. You know he told me she got upset the other day and sobbed for a good 10 minutes? All because she saw a stray dog in the park when they went for a walk, she is worrying about thanksgiving and trying to organize what to take. Even though Carole has told her not to bring anything, she wants to contribute to the meal. As well as enjoy this last month or so with her 1st graders, and she keeps saying how she looks like a whale, and can't even remember what her feet look like, and why does Finn want to stay with someone who is fat, and is so short she can't even reach the top of the fridge.

Kurt is nodding in agreement with Blaine about his sister in laws current moods.

I think they are picking up the crib and stuff, and checking the new house for any work that needs to be finished before Christmas, when they go back to Lima for Thanksgiving, this weekend, which is another reason Chele's stressing a little, because every time they go back, they also seem to run into that crazy blonde. I know how much Finn is hoping they don't see her, because if anything happens to Chele he will go into Mama Grizzly bear, mode and not even Chele will be able to calm him down. He is going to be a really great Dad, I know Chele feels awful when she gets all emotional with him but he just kisses her and says he does what he does because he loves her and the baby so much and is more than happy to. I'm so happy for him that he has been able to renew contact with his Father. The last time we spoke about it he said Chris Hudson was in the process of moving to New Jersey to start work as a security guard."

"OK love I'll keep quiet, but it's just so unlike Rachel to be so emotional, she hasn't been like this since sophomore year, when Mr Schue gave the 'West Side 'solo to that Sunshine girl in glee club, and remember when Finn was hurt last year, she was so strong for everyone else, but…, I know it's only the pregnancy hormones but she worries me at times."

"She will be back to our normal Chele as soon as the baby is born, I'm just so glad she has Finn, they balance each other out so well." He takes hold of his fiance's hands and leans in to give him a kiss.

"Babe, are you nearly ready to go? Do you need to help with anything? Rach, Are you OK? I have the basket with food and a thermos of cocoa, and your pillow and snuggle rug."

"I'm sorry honey, I'm coming, I just needed to pee I swear this Hudson bug sits on my bladder all the time on purpose." Finn smiles when he sees her waddling out of the bathroom, tucking a wayward strand of hair that had escaped her long braid, behind her ear. When she gets to the kitchen and sees her tall husband with a soft loving look on his handsome face she blushes and dips her head slightly swiping her thumb along the edge of her bangs moving them off her face, and pulling her bottom lip between her teeth before she asks "Why are you looking at me like that Finny?"

"I am just looking at the most beautiful woman in the world, who is my everything and I love her so very much, she is also the Mother of my daughter, who will be just as cute and tiny." He leans down to kiss her lips but stops halfway when he see her big brown eyes glistening with tears and one lone tear escaping and running down her cheek, His left hand clasp both of Rachel's and in a concerned voice he asks softly "Baby girl what's wrong? Is it the baby…?"

Rachel shakes her head and stutters out a "N-no, n-no baby, I just love you so much and can't wait till our H-Hudson Bug is here, I'm sorry baby for being so emotional , but I can't help it."

"Hey, Hey, you've nothing to apologize for OK, I can't begin to understand what your body is going through growing our baby and keeping her safe, but I know you are doing a fantastic job and it won't be much longer before all your hard work is done and you can hold our beautiful baby, but FYI I still think you are the most stunningly beautiful, sexiest woman on the planet."

"Oh Finny do you really think our bug is a girl? You – you won't be disappointed, if the baby is a boy, will you? I know most men want a son to play sports and such with, bu…."

"Rach, baby, listen to me, I don't care what our 'bug' is as long as the both of you are OK and everything goes well, you know I will love either sex equally, but… I have a policeman's hunch that this" he rubs his right hand in circles over her swollen belly and smiles as his fingers hit her bumpy belly button. "Is our little Allisa-Michele Hudson and she will be perfect, but if bug turns out to be a Nicholas Leham, then I will be just as over the moon, you know why?" she shakes her head tears still leaking from her eyes Finn smiles at her and guides her head to rest against his chest then whispers into her hair, "Because you are the baby's mother and that alone is what makes our 'bug' perfect."

"I love you Finn Hudson, you always know how to make me feel good."

"You always feel good." He says with a cheeky smirk as his hand moves upwards, from her belly to gently squeeze her breast while his other lifts her chin bringing her face closer so his lips can make contact with hers. After a few minutes he pulls away chuckling at the pout forming on her flushed face he leans down and rubs his large hand over her belly again, and says, " be gentle with Momma bug she is very special and we both love you so much and can't wait for you to arrive but it won't be much longer." Both parents giggle when they feel strong movement, as if in answer to Finn's request. "Now Mrs Hudson if we don't stop stalling, we will never get to Lima and thanksgiving, so let's get going."

"Yes Sir Mr Hudson, I'm ready." So while Finn picks up the food basket in one hand and tucks Rachel's blanket and pillow under the same arm then grabs the handle of the overlarge rolling suitcase in his other hand, (feeling a little bit like a pack mule, not really caring as he doesn't want his tiny wife to overdo things, but figures as long he is Rachel's pack mule he is happy), she grabs her purse and follows him turning off the lights and locking the door.

Thankfully the freeway wasn't very busy at that early hour of the day, after all not many people really liked getting out of a nice warm bed at 4 am on a chilly November morning, 2 days before Thanksgiving. Rachel was curled up, well as much as she could her blanket wrapped tightly around her, staying warm as Finn needed to have the window open just a crack for fresh air to keep him awake as he didn't want the warmth of the heater to make him drowsy, They made good time, even with the numerous bathroom breaks, and towing a trailer, arriving in Lima about 4:00 that afternoon just as it was getting dark. Finn helped Rachel up the front steps and handed her over to his mom with a quick peck on the lips as Carole welcomed Rachel inside the warm house with hugs and kisses, exclaiming over how she was glowing; and explaining Ben was still at work and would be home about 5:30. While Finn unhitched the u-haul trailer from his truck and parked it in the garage.

After a dinner of thick vegetable soup and homemade crusty bread followed by Finn's favourite apple crumble and custard, the four adults moved to the family room catching up on all the news. Enjoying the warmth of the open fire and just being together, soon made Rachel doze off leaning against her husband's firm shoulder, laughing softly Finn woke her up by rubbing her belly gently and whispering in her ear that it was time for bed. Goodnight hugs were exchanged before the younger couple headed upstairs to bed. As she was changing into one of Finn's old army T-shirts Rachel sleepily told Finn she wanted to get to the mall early the next day before all the last minute rush started.

After assuring Carole and Finn, that she would be fine walking around the market, there wasn't really that much she wanted to get, but it was easier than bringing it all the way from Manhattan.

With Rachel pushing the cart, as well as using it for support, Finn had her shopping list and reading her neat swirly handwriting and had moved slightly ahead down the canned fruit aisle that faced the fresh poultry section and the first thing that caught his eye was a floor to ceiling poster board advertising, happy smiling thanksgiving turkeys, wearing pilgrim's hats, sitting around a dinner table. He turned to ask Rach a question only to find her standing still sobbing into a tissue, leaning against the cart. He immediately pulled her face towards his chest, running a large hand over the back of her head while making soothing noises, knowing it was more than likely the turkey poster that set her off.

"Shh baby it's OK, Shh, Shh honey, take a deep breath. Do you want to wait outside in the mall while I'll finish the shopping? "

"O-oh F-finny, I'm sorry I just saw the picture of the turkeys and it just made me think of all the baby turkeys that are now orphans, and won't get to know their parents at all…."

"It's alright honey, I understand, why don't you let me finish the shopping and you have a wander in the baby store across the mall, or sit and treat yourself to your favorite custard do-nut hmm, and I'll be as quick as I can. I'll come find you when I'm done ok?

"OK, baby, I don't know what came over me, I'm so sorry for breaking down like this I thought I was over all the hormonal breakdowns. Thank you for not walking out on me, I'd understand if you did though I'm sure it must be extremely embarrassing, to be seen in a public with me sobbing like an enormous idiot over a damn picture…."

"Rachel Barbra Hudson! You stop that kind of talk right this minute." Rachel ceases her emotional outburst, at Finn's firm tone of voice and looks at Finn with wide watery eyes and a sheepish look on her flushed face, as he cups her face in his large hands and forces her to look him in the eye. He continues softly "There is nothing wrong or embarrassing about being out with you at anytime and especially not now when you are carrying the most precious cargo in the world and FYI, Mrs Hudson, there is no way in hell that I'm ever walking out on you and our Hudson bugs, because I love you, hormones and all forever. Now go( he presses a kiss against her pouty lips and pats her on the butt gently to guide her in the direction of the front door of the store) and wander around the baby store and find something Kurt hasn't managed to buy already, I'll be out in a little while."

"I love you Finn Hudson." Rachel hears him chuckle as she waddles out of the store towards the donut shop, where after purchasing an extra large custard treat she sits down on the seat just outside of the Social Security Office, facing the grocery store and next to the 'Little Treasures' baby store as she happily munches on her sugary treat, one hand rubbing her belly feeling little kicks as 'Bug' tumbles about inside. Rachel smiles as she sees Finn his tongue poking out the side of his mouth as he is intently searching the shelf in front of him, for whatever item is on the list, before making his way to the checkout. She is just about to throw her trash in the can next to her seat and walk over to him, when she hears.

"So he finally came to his senses and dumped your ass, but why are you here? Shouldn't you be hiding in a hobbit hole? Looking like that" (she points at Rachel's 7 month pregnant belly) and with a sneer on her face "I can't say I'm surprised Man-hands, I knew your sham of a marriage couldn't last, I be…"

"Excuse me? How dare you speak to me like that, you know nothing about my marriage, or my Husband, so just leave me alone." Rachel stands up and turns, as she can see Finn at the checkout, but before she can fully turn away she feels a hand tightly gripping her upper arm, sharp fingernails digging into her skin through her woolen sweater, and in a vicious voice that the blonde doesn't even attempt to keep low she hisses at Rachel.

"I will get Finn bitch bec …"

Rachel cuts Quinn off, her normally soft brown eyes, suddenly turned as black as midnight and her voice takes on a dangerous tone. "You don't want Finn Quinn, do you know why?"

The blonde glares at the tiny brunette and spits out, "I'm sure you will tell me hobbit, you probably put a magic spell on him, and he didn't even realize, he can be a bit slow."

Rachel takes a deep breath as she listens to the garbage spewing from the other woman's mouth, before standing up tall, a burst of adrenaline kicking in "Finn is not the one for you, because you never loved him, you only loved the idea of dating the quarterback and army hero and not the honourable, brave, loving beautiful man inside, I think your attraction for Finn was all about his image and reputation at school and how it reflected on your own and it made you feel important, but from what I understand once he had joined the army it didn't take you long to find someone else to boost your lagging ego. But the most important reason he will never be yours is because I love and accept him, all of him! And he loves me. So instead of living in the past Ms Fabray, stop blaming me for the way your life turned out and take a good hard look at yourself, because at the end of the day you are the only one who can make a change in your life, you can be happy if you give yourself a chance and stop hating everyone else who is in a happy relationship, they take work to cultivate and grow, just forget about the past and focus on the future and maybe one day you will find your own special someone, it just isn't Finn Hudson. And please just be honest with your little boy and tell him the truth about his Father, he deserves to know. Now remove your hand and leave me alone. "

Rach twists her body to release her arm from Quinn Fabray's painful grip, but as she does she stumbles into the trashcan next to the bench, her belly hitting the side as she falls heavily back into the seat.

"RACH! Rachel spins in the seat tears forming from the adrenalin burst that has finally worn off and the shock of her confrontation, her arms instinctively forming a cage around her belly, as Finn races across the short distance dropping the grocery bags and pulling her into a hug, his handsome visage contorted into a mask of rage aimed at the blonde who is just standing there with an hateful look in her narrowed green eyes and a scowl on her face. He makes sure his tiny wife is ok and presses a comforting kiss on her cheek. Before he stands up and faces the blonde, not caring about making a scene.

"FABRAY! for fucks sake woman, how many times do you need to be told…", he lowers his head taking a deep breath pinching the bridge of his nose with the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, before raising his face and giving her a hard glare, do you see this?" he thrusts his left hand in the blondes sneering face "This means that from the minute Rachel put this band on my finger, I was HERS! And nothing you or anyone else can do will separate us. So just leave my wife alone."

Turning back to Rachel he asks in a softer voice, his hands running all over her round belly feeling strong movements, and one hand reaching up to rub a thumb over her cheek, catching the couple of tears that escaped. Rach, baby you're not hurt are you? Is bug ok?"

Nodding her head, one hand cupping Finn's cheek, smiling when he turns his face to kiss her palm, her other hand holding his hand on her belly, Rachel says softly, "Yeah, I promise we're ok honey, but can we please just go home now?

"Of course baby girl, let's go Finn helps Rachel up from the seat wrapping one arm around her waist and kissing her on the lips, then grabbing the grocery bags with his other hand.

The couple totally ignore the blonde who is just left standing there (the other shoppers shaking their heads at the spectacle that played out before them) staring after them with a look of complete and utter resignation, the words the tiny brunette said to her affecting her so much that she had no other option but to accept the truth that he would never be hers. So with a single tear making its way down her fleshy cheek she makes her way home. Asking herself what the tiny brunette had, that she didn't and after speculating for the time it took her to walk to her car, she shrugged her shoulders and decided it didn't really matter, because she was Quinn Fabray and she had had a lot of practice over the years pretending she was still the tough single minded, head cheerleader and could get whatever she wanted, everything it seems except a tall, dimpled quarterback.

On the drive home Finn is worriedly sneaking glances at his tiny wife while keeping one eye on the road "Rach baby are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital and get a check-up, I 'm worried about you and Bug."

Rachel reaches over and grabs Finn's hand in both her tiny ones and brings it up to her mouth pressing her lips against his palm, before squeezing it gently and laying it in her lap, "Yes Baby I promise we are both OK, my belly didn't hit the trash can very hard but if it will ease your mind we can go to the hospital on our way home."

"Thank you babe, and yes it will make me feel much better knowing you are both alright, because if that insane woman had hurt you or our baby …" Rachel starts to rub her thumb over the back of Finn's hand something that always calms him down, as she can see his left hand is gripping the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles have turned white.

After a 30 minute wait in the emergency department at Lima County Hospital, and a 15 minute ultra sound examination, complete with pictures, (the Hudson's decided this time to find out the sex of their baby) the Doctor on duty pronounced both Rachel and baby girl Hudson, to be in perfect health, and after vigorous hand shaking and a tight ( but not really able to be described as a manly hug) from a very relieved and teary eyed Finn, the little Hudson family made their way home.

Carole fussed over Rachel like a mother hen that morning when they returned home, oblivious to Rachel's numerous declarations that she was really ok. So by lunch time, after Rachel had spent hours preparing her special vegetable dish and deserts for thanksgiving the next day, as much as she loved Carole and Finn and everyone caring about her so much she sometimes felt smothered, but didn't want to say anything to upset her family, so she decided she wanted to take a little walk by herself around the block to their new home and have another look around and also think about decorating ideas. After promising Finn she had her cell phone and was wrapped up warmly enough, she leaves him a kiss on his pouty mouth and tells him she'll be back in a little while. It takes her about 15 minutes to walk the couple of blocks to Parkside Avenue. When she arrives she just stops on the sidewalk outside number 5, and looks at the soft blue painted walls and darker blue trims and window shutters, she makes her way up the stone crazy paved path bordered on both sides by rose beds, which of course weren't in bloom but come summer they would look a treat then steps onto the porch, (envisaging how nice it will be during the summer evenings to be able to sit and relax on a white porch swing just watching the world go by) after unlocking and walking through the glossy dark blue, glass paneled front door, Rachel smiles as she immediately can see where the furniture will go she makes a mental note to ask Blaine about the antique sideboard that was in their childhood home as it would fit perfectly on the half wall facing the entry . A sad look comes over her face at the thoughts of her childhood and the fact that at this special time in her life, she still misses her dad's so much. Her hand automatically rubs her belly feeling sharp kicks which returns the smile to her face. The upside is that Finn has reconnected with his Father Chris Hudson and they are getting to know each other. It is a slow process but both men are happy to just talk about things and share their experiences of life in the army, and when Chris moves to New Jersey in November to start his new job as a security guard at a hospital, he will be that much closer.

"I know baby girl Momma's not sad really, I just wish your Grand-daddies could be here to meet you because they would just love and teach you so much about things, but I promise to tell you all about them when you are bigger, you know uncle Lainey looks a lot like Granddaddy Hiram, but without the glasses. I know you would have loved them too, they were such smart, loving Daddies, but they were mine…, well and Uncle Lainey's as well. But your Daddy, baby girl is the most wonderful caring, and I must say most handsome daddy in the whole world I hope you inherit his dimples and his loving heart." The smile still on her face Rachel makes her way further into the house and takes a few minutes to just stand in the big bay window that takes up most of the living room wall that faces the street. A few more minutes spent gazing out the window, lost in thought of holidays spent sitting around the open fire and a giant tree decked out with all manner of decorations and lights. Rachel jumps when the sound of her cell ringing echoes in the empty room. Looking at the caller ID, beaming as she reads Finn's name.

"Hello, honey"

'Hey baby girl, is everything OK? You've been gone for over an hour and a half and I was starting to get worried as it's getting dark and pretty cold out there, can I come pick you up in the car?

"Oh my goodness, I didn't realize the time had flown by so fast. I would love for you to come get me please baby, I think the walk and all today's excitement has worn me out and I'm feeling a bit tired."

"Okay baby girl I'll be there in a couple of minutes, stay inside till I get there alright?"

"OK honey see you soon, I love you Finn Hudson."

"I love you too Rachel Hudson.", chuckling at his tiny wife he grabs his keys and yells down stairs to his Mom that he is going to pick up Rach.

Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic, there was so much food the vegetable dishes Rachel made went down a treat, and the beam of thanks on her little face made Finn's heart sing. At the end of the meal Finn raised his wine glass and made a toast "I want to just say to all of you sitting at this dinner table, how very thankful I am for having you in my life, I wouldn't be the man I am today if it weren't for all of you, so thank you and I'm positive thanksgiving 2017 has been one of the best, although 2018 will be even better when we will have our own little bug, Allisa-Michele Hudson joining us."

"A baby girl, oh my that's the best news, Oh Finny I just don't know where the time has gone it hardly seems that long ago when you were born and now you're having your own little Hudson." Carole's squeal was cut off by her tears as she jumped up to give Rachel and Finn a congratulatory hug. "But I thought you weren't going to find out the sex of Baby Hudson?

"Yeah , well Rach wanted to be surprised, but I knew 'bug' was a girl, but after the accident at the mall yesterday, we wanted to make sure the baby was ok, so once the doctor brought out the ultrasound machine, Rach and I looked at each other and decided then to find out, we have pictures as well. I am very happy to say that my detective's hunch was right and in just under 2 months we will be able to hold our baby girl." Finn puffs out his chest as a sign that he was right all along. he makes eye contact with his tiny wife who is beaming the biggest smile at him, and as dark brown mesh with cinnamon she mouths the words 'I love you'.
