A/N: Hey guy's I'm back with the next chapter of Matilda. I just want to thank you all for the positive feedback I've gotten in the past 2 days.

So just to let you I start school on Wednesday (Thursday American Time) so I won't be as regular with my updates, but I will try my best to get something up at least once a month!

Previously on Matilda:

"Hello? Is this Rachel Berry?" The person on the other end of the phone asked "Yes, this is she. Who's speaking?" "This is Matthew Warchus, I'm the director of Matilda on Broadway, I'm not sure if you remember me"

Rachel knew who it was as soon as he stated his name - he was her director when she was Matilda. "Hi, yes I do remember you; can I do something for you?" "Yes, well the 5 year anniversary of Matilda: The Musical is coming up soon and we are putting on a showcase of all the songs from the show and we are wanting the four original Matilda's to perform the pieces that Matilda is in - we are wondering are you interested?"

Rachel's mouth went dry she didn't know what to say - she hadn't done anything this big in years...

"Rachel? Are you still there?" Coming out of her day dream Rachel replied "Yes, sorry I'm still here. Can I give you my answer at a later date? It's just a lot to take in right now."

"Yes, of course take your time but I'm going to need your answer by the end of the week, so that we can start planning the show" Looking at the calendar on her wall Rachel sighed – It was only Wednesday so that meant that by Friday they needed her answer, which was only two days away "Alright, I'll think this over and speak to my mother and call you back when I've made my decision"

"Okay, thank you Rachel. Goodbye" Rachel hung up the call before saying goodbye. How was she supposed to do this, she hadn't stepped foot in a Broadway theatre since her mother took her to see Wicked for her 13th birthday.

Sure after Matilda she'd been asked to come in and audition for some other roles, she just chose not to. She wanted more than anything to be on Broadway. But she just didn't want to be one of those child actors who didn't get taken seriously when they went for more challenging roles as they got older.

Standing up from her position on her bed, Rachel made her way downstairs to go and speak to her mother about the conversation she'd just had.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs there was a knock on the door – opening it Rachel was surprised to see Finn on the other side. "Hey, what are you doing here?" stepping inside Finn looked at Rachel with a confused look – "We had plans remember?"

Thinking about it for a minute Rachel suddenly remembered making plans last night "Right, sorry I forgot" "It's fine, if you want I can go?" Shaking her head no Rachel pulled him down for a quick kiss. Pulling back Finn asked - "Are you okay? It's not like you to forget about our plans"

"I'm fine Finn. Really, I just have a lot on my mind right now and before you ask – No it's not something you should be worried about" Finn nodded his head. He was still worried but if Rachel said it wasn't anything for him to worry about then he needed to respect her wishes and keep out of her head for a while "If you say so Rach" Hugging him Rachel smiled and called out to her mother "Mom! Finn's here"

Not taking her eyes of the T.V Shelby replied "I know I saw his car pull up. Do whatever you want but the door stays open – capiche?" Rolling her eyes Rachel made her way up the stairs to her room – Finn following behind her. Grabbing some pillows and cushions off of Rachel's bed the couple made themselves comfortable on the floor at the end of her bed. Grabbing the T.V remote Rachel turned it on, found something to watch and snuggled into Finn.

6:30pm – Finn had gone home half an hour ago. Rachel went into the kitchen were her mother was chopping up some peppers for dinner, taking a seat on one of the bar stools Rachel figured that she should talk to her mom about the phone call from her old director.

Looking up from the chopping board Shelby saw her daughter sitting on a stool in deep thought. "Penny for your thoughts?" Rachel looked at her mother – who was looking at her with an expectant look "Yes actually. I got a call from Matthew Warchus earlier today"

This piece of information took Shelby by surprise, "Your old Broadway director? What was he calling you for?" "He called to invite me to perform at this showcase thing they're putting on for the five-year anniversary of Matilda. He said he's hoping to get all of us original Matilda's to do it" Shelby looked at Rachel with concern; she knew how Rachel felt about her Broadway career both past and future. "What are you going to do about it?"

Shrugging Rachel just stared at her mom, "I don't know mom. I really don't know"

Sighing Shelby reached a hand out to stroke her daughter's cheek, before going back to preparing dinner but not before giving Rachel some supporting words of comfort "Well nobody but you can make the ultimate decision. It's your choice, if you don't want to do it then that's fine. But if you do then just know that I'm happy to help you in preparing for it"

Rachel just sat there and nodded along, looking back up at Rachel, Shelby said "Why don't you sleep on it? We can discuss it more in the morning" "Okay, do you need help or anything?" Smirking Shelby glanced at Rachel, the trash and then the dinner table. "Why yes there is something you can do for me Rachel, you can take out the trash and then set the table" Groaning Rachel got up from her seat and set to her tasks mumbling something under her breath – "What was that?" letting out a huff Rachel replied "Nothing!"

"That's what I thought"

A/N: Hope you enjoyed the second Chapter, next Chapter Rachel makes her decision on whether to do the Showcase of not. I hope you enjoyed the little interaction between Finn & Rachel, I'll be putting some more of that in as the story progresses.
