You guys loved the last story so I decided on some more! I warn you now, I'm a little tried of all the fluff, and this will be real. Don't worry it will be hard for me to write, but it's not going to be easy on Finchel. Wow I talk like they're real people, well obsessions will do that to you. Special shout-out to musthavefinchel, thanks so much!:)
Finn's point of view
I wake on the next morning with that feeling when you wake up and you don't know where you are. Then I remember I came home yesterday. I roll over and see the face of the most beautiful girl in the world, still asleep. Oh yeah, Rachel's here and she was pregnant before I left and our little girl's in the corner of the room. Wow, I'm in the middle of one of those TV shows Rachel likes to watch, something about soap. Then I hear little baby sounds from the crib, I look over at Rachel who's still fast asleep, and decided to go hold Lindsey. I walk over to the crib and start talking to her.
"Hey, there little girl, I'm going to pick you up now, ok? Now, I don't want you to freak out like yesterday, we want mommy to get some rest, because I doubt she's had much taking care of you by herself." I pick her up and she actually listened to me, she just keeps making baby noises. So I sit back down on my bed and hold her.
"Hey Lindsey, so I want to apologize for not being here, I'm so sorry I missed out on you being born and on mommy carrying you and all that, but you don't need to worry, I love you already and I plan on taking care of you and mommy as best as I can." As I give her a kiss on the forehead, I hear the most gorgeous sound in the world, Rachel laughing lightly beside me.
"Oh, hey. Morning beautiful."
She gives me a big smile "Morning"
We both sit there silently for a minute
"So, I guess you heard all that." I say slightly embarrassed.
"Yeah," she sits up faces me and puts her hands on both sides of my face "But it was the sweetest thing I've ever heard." Then her lips are on mine for just a moment
"Do you really wish you where here when I was pregnant? Because most guys would be happy to skip over that part"
I laugh "Yeah, they would, about 90 percent of guys would probably wish they could skip that, but I would have loved to be here to take care of you and all that."
I think I see a few tears in her eyes "I love you"
I smile at her and say in the most loving voice I can "I love you, too"
I'm so caught up in the moment that I forget I'm holding Lindsey, and then I hear a small cry between us.
"She's probably hungry, she's defiantly your daughter." I laugh as Rachel takes her from me and starts for the door.
"Come on" she tells me as I just stare at her "What?"
"Nothing," I respond quickly, then continue "You're just so perfect and I love you so much." I say as I walk up to her and lightly kiss her lips
"Now, lets go eat Lindsey's not the only hungry one." I wink and she laughs as we go downstairs together.
As we come down the stairs I can already smell breakfast.
"Morning mom!"
"Good morning to you too" she says without looking up from the pan "I thought I'd make a special breakfast to celebrate you coming home all safe and sound."
"Thanks mom you didn't have to do that."
"Thanks Carole you didn't have to." Rachel and I say simultaneously, and then we all laugh.
Mom sits a plate in front of me and I watch Rachel. She walks to the fridge, pulls out a bottle, warms it up, and stands in the back doorway.
"I'm going to go feed Lindsey." She says
"Ok" my mom answers
Once she's out the door she sits on the back porch and puts the bottle in Lindsey's mouth
"Can't she do that in here?" I ask
Mom looks at her for an instant "Yeah, but she always goes out there, I don't really know why."
Before I know what I'm doing I walk to the doorway and open the door without a sound and just listen as I thought she is singing softly to Lindsey.
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh Girl
You stand by me
I'm forever yours
I join in on the last line
Faithfully
She looks up at me "Oh, umm…hi"
"Hey"
We're silent for a moment
"You don't have to stop; you know I love it when you sing."
"Umm…not it's ok, she's done anyway."
"Oh, ok"
She walks into the kitchen me following behind. We finish our breakfast and spend the whole day together. I don't know what's up with Rachel though she's acting weird, well weird for Rachel. I don't know it's like she doesn't want to let me in or something, which is strange because she said she wanted me in both of their lives. But I have to put all that aside now because Lindsey's now in bed and Rachel just sat beside me on the couch as we watch TV and I really need to talk to her.
"Hey Rach?"
"Yeah"
"What are we doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean we can't stay here forever, what are going to do?"
She sighs loudly "I don't know"
"Well, I guess the only thing we can do is that I go find some half decent job, and we'll save until we can get you to New York, I'm sure you can get into NYATA again, and-"
I know I'm rambling but Rachel cuts me off by putting her hand over my mouth.
"Or, we could go to New York now."
"Rach, babe, I know that's what you want but we don't have the money."
"Or do we?"
"What?"
She goes up stairs, comes down with an two envelopes, and drops them on my lap
"Great," I say sarcastically "More letters."
She laughs as I open the first one; it's an acceptance letter to NYATA on a full four year scholarship.
"Rach, this is amazing, I'm so proud of you!" I pick her up and spin her around. Once I let her down I plant a kiss on her lips as strongly as I can.
"Babe, I would love to see you happy there but we still don't have the money to-"
She hands me the other envelope and I open it
"What the? Rachel, where the hell did you get all this! Is there a bank robbery I need to know about?"
She laughs "No, daddy gave it to me."
"But they kicked you out!"
"Yeah, dad did but apparently daddy didn't want to, so he somehow thinks this makes up for it."
"Whoa, that's a lot of money Rach."
"I know, you think that will cover the three of us until we can make some more?"
I'm still pretty speechless "Yeah"
I'm finally able to complete a full sentence so I wrap my arms around her
"Looks like Finchel's going to New York."
