When they got home, Finn got Kelly started on her homework while Rachel let Abby help her cook dinner. Kelly was halfway through her math worksheet before she had to ask for help.

"Daddy, what is 4+7?"

"Well, what do you think it is, Kel?" He asked trying to get her to figure it out on her own.

"I was thinking ten, but I'm not sure."

"Why do you think it's ten?" He asked sitting up from his Lazy Boy recliner.

"Well I was counting my fingers and I ended up with ten." Finn smiled at his daughter and how much she resembled him.

"Alright, come here. Let me show you something."

Kelly hopped up from the floor and jumped into her dad's lap. He took her hands and had her count out seven and then told her to continue by adding four. She got to three and then looked at him confused. She was still on ten. He explained to her that she only had ten fingers which is why she got ten, but that 4+7 is one more than ten.

"Eleven?" She asked.

"Absolutely!" Trying not to laugh at the surprised expression on her face.

"Cool. Thanks Daddy. You're so smart." She replied hopping down from her seat and going back to her homework.

As Kelly concentrated on her homework, Finn's mind drifted off to a past memory when someone else had said the exact same thing.

"Finn, dinner's ready!" Rachel's voice broke him from his thoughts.

After dinner, Finn got the girls bathed and brushed their teeth before putting them in bed. When he got done, he went and sat down in his recliner and turned on ESPN to catch up on anything he missed.

Rachel joined him a few minutes later on the couch after cleaning up in the kitchen. She sat and looked at the TV for a while. He knew she wasn't watching. Even though he was a sportscaster, he knew she wasn't interested in the least. That and the fact that she hadn't blinked in a minute told him that she wasn't really invested in what was going on with the Wildcats.

He was about to ask her what was on her mind, when she went ahead and answered for him.

"Finn, I don't want to try out for anymore parts on Broadway." Rachel said as she broke the silence. Finn was shocked. "If I haven't made it by now, I'll probably never make it."

"Rach, what are you talking about? You belong on stage. You can't give up on that." He got up and moved to the couch beside her and grabbed her hand.

"Yes, I can. I'm completely happy with being a stay at home mom. I mean I have to take care of Abby now so being in a production would be a hassle anyway."

"Rach… I-I just don't want you to give up on your dream."

"I know and I appreciate that, but maybe my true dream is my family."

"What if when Abby goes back next year, you try again? Please? For me?"

"I'll think about it."

"That's all I'm asking. Just please, truly consider it." He said releasing her hand.

"Okay." He thought she might say more on the subject, but instead she said, "Well, I'm gonna go off to bed."

"I'll come with you." He said turning off the TV. Who cared how the Wildcats did during the game? His wife was making a life changing decision.

The next morning, Finn woke up to the sound of his alarm. He tried not to wake up Rachel wanting her to be able to sleep-in today. He quietly got dressed and then went to wake up Kelly. He made them both breakfast and then took her to school before heading off to the station.

When Rachel woke up, she noticed that he was not in bed. She looked at the clock which read 9:34. She knew Abby would be up soon if not already and decided to make her some breakfast. Abby came down a few minutes after the muffins were done. She must have smelled them.

"Morning, Mommy." Abby said as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"Morning, baby." Rachel said handing Abby a small plate with two muffins on it.

Abby went and sat at the bar and ate her muffins in silence for a few minutes. Then she spoke up.

"Mommy, what are we doing today?"

"Well, Abs, I thought we could just hang around here for the day. Maybe we could play with your dolls or something like that." Rachel answered. She figured there was no reason why they needed to start doing work straight away.

"Ok. When is Daddy going to be home?"

"He should be home by 2. Why? Are you already that bored with me?" Rachel asked as she faked a hurt expression on her face.

"No." She smiled. "I just wanted to know how much time I had alone with you."

Rachel laughed at this.

They spent the rest of the morning playing with a doll house in Abby's room. At about half past noon, Abby started complaining saying that she was hungry. Rachel made both of them some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They were about halfway done with their lunch when they heard the front door slam shut.

"Finn?" Rachel asked, a bit shaken from the noise.

He came into the kitchen and was greeted by Abby hugging his legs. He didn't share her excitement.

"Hey Daddy!" He picked her up and hugged her.

"Hey Abby girl! Have you had a good day?"

"Yeah. Me and Mommy played with my dollies."

"That's good. How bout you run upstairs for a little while? I need to talk to Mommy for a minute." He said. Rachel gave him a questioning look.

"Ok."

Finn put her down. She slowly walked upstairs not wanting to leave, but knowing she had to.

"Hey, babe."

"Hey, Rach."

"What's wrong?" He greeted giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Rachel, I don't know how to say this exactly, but I..." He stopped and took a deep breath. Rachel immediately was overcome with worry.

"You what?" She asked touching his arm in a comforting manner. "Come on, Finn. What is it?"

"I... uh... I lost my job today." He said with an affirming nod.

"What? Why?"

"The station is merging with another and they had to cut half of the people. Apparently, I am not good enough to be brought into the merger." She walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"That's ridiculous! You're the best one they have!" She said.

"Well, you might be a little biased."

Rachel backed up to the counter and leaned on it.

"Oh, Finn. What are we going to do?"

"I honestly don't know." He said pulling her into a hug. He hated when she worried, but there really was no way around this. "There are only a few stations around here and they all have plenty of sports anchors. I guess I'll have to try something else."

"I guess I'll can to start auditioning again."

"Yeah. It's not like we have much of a choice."

"What are we going to tell the girls, Finn?"

"We'll tell them the truth, but we tell them that everything is going to be fine. They shouldn't have something else to worry about."

"Alright. How are you holding up? I forgot to ask." She asked leaning back to look at him.

He sighed and said, "I'm alright. I'm just worried."

"Me too." She agreed pulling him into a tight hug.

That night, they told the girls about what had happened and reassured them that everything was going to be okay. At the same time, they were trying to convince themselves of what they were saying.
