Chapter Two: It's Only A Week.
Rachel and Finn were sharing a kiss at the door as Finn stood with his brief case and suit case, he was leaving for L.A for a week on business. Rachel's hormones were out of whack which was making Finn leaving depressing seen as she was crying when he pulled away.
"It's only a week Rach, and I'll call you every night before you go to bed, we went over this, I'll be back before you know it." He murmured kissing her hair as she clung to him, her arms tight around his waist.
"A week is a long time Finn, a really long time." She mumbled against his chest, he rolled his eyes at his wife.
"Quinn and Puck are staying here for the week are they not?"
"Well I guess so, but make sure you call me when you land, and when you get to your hotel."
"I will Rach, but I have to get going okay?" He laughed as she let go and stood holding the door, he bent down and kissed her quick again. "I love you."
"I love you too, have a safe flight." She replied waving as he walked backwards down the hallway. When he was gone she turned and went to sit on the sofa with a huff. Rachel turned the TV on and listened to music, her hand on her belly the whole time. The baby was dues in just under three months now and she was getting nervous, she just feared she wouldn't be good enough for her and Finn's son.
An hour later there was a small knock on the door before it opened, Rachel looked into the small hallway to see Puck with take out.
"I brought food, you know I can't cook, you remember that barbeque just after you announced you were with child." He said walking in, his hair in his face causing Rachel to laugh. "I know I need a hair-cut."
"Tell me about it, it's longer than Finn's and that's saying something seen as he hasn't had a hair cut for almost a year now." Rachel laughed turning the TV down.
"Well I'll get one soon I suppose. But are you hungry?"
"Starved, where's Quinn and Austin tonight?"
"Austin's acting up, he wouldn't behave so Quinn told me to come alone."
"Sounds fun, I can't believe he's almost two."
"Tell me about it, they grow up fast. But hey, you'll know that soon enough, when your boy's in glee club or something, and don't tell me he wont because he has you and Finn as parents." Puck laughed as they sat down to eat.
"Well Finn was talking about moving back to Lima so the kids can grow up there."
"And what do you think about that?"
"I'm not sure, I mean our parents are there and they're going to want to see the baby grow up and everything, but if we do, he's going to have to move back and forth for work a week every month."
"Well he's training Artie to help him out right?" Puck said shovelling food into his mouth watching Rachel picking around her meal.
"True, and he says he can manage everything from home so maybe we should go back, I know Finn wants to get back there by June."
"Why June, your boy will only be a month old by then, you'll have to drive."
"He wants to see this years graduating class. You know Daniel and Anna are graduating, he doesn't want to miss it." Rachel explained passing Puck the letter that was on the table.
"Well I suppose he doesn't want to miss that, he thinks the world of those kids."
"He has from day one, you know what he's like. Mr. Shue wants him to help teach Glee with him too if we move there. So I'm thinking maybe we should move, it'd be fun."
"Twelve years on Broadway enough for you Rachel?" Puck asked as the cleaned off their dishes.
"I've had my time on stage, I wouldn't mind stepping out of the lights now." Rachel told him as her hand went to her stomach, when they walked through into the living room to put on a movie. "Maybe it'll be a good move though?"
"You never know, if I had the money to move I would, I don't like the idea of Austin growing up in a huge city like this too much."
"Well I think maybe we will move, I'll stay at home for a year or so, then find a job somewhere else." After that they settled down to watch the movie, they watched two before Finn called, Rachel reached for the phone before the first ring was finished. "Hello?"
"Hey honey, so I landed."
"How was your flight?" Rachel asked, watching Puck stand up and point to his watch before waving and walking out of the door. She waved in return waiting for Finn's answer.
"It was good, we got delayed a little bit but, it's LAX no surprise there. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm just tired, Puck just left."
"Did he feed you and my son?" Finn's voice asked only just audible from the babble in the airport.
"He did," Rachel yawned, turning the TV off and walking to the bedroom.
"I think you should go to sleep Rach."
"I think so too."
"I'll call you in the morning okay?"
"I'll be waiting so you keep that promise."
"Every promise I made you I've kept so don't you worry. Night honey."
"Love you."
"I love you too."
The second the line went dead Rachel was asleep, meanwhile all the way across the country Finn was waiting for his bags still. He was kept on his toes though, some of his fans would see him now and then and ask for a picture or an autograph and he was happy to oblige. He didn't get to the house until midnight and even then he didn't sleep when he got to bed. Only a week, only a week is a long time now.
His alarm woke him up at six, he had a meeting with Artie at nine to go over the ropes of the business before he met up with a possible client. He grabbed his phone when he was out of the shower and dressed, he dialled his home number and waited until Rachel picked up.
"Hello?" her voice asked from the other end of the phone, she'd obviously been awake for at least an hour already.
"Morning beautiful. How long have you been awake?"
"An hour and a half, baby wouldn't let me sleep any longer." Finn smiled, he'd been thinking of names the whole flight, he knew somewhere he wanted his fathers name there, maybe his sons middle name could be Christopher, he'd tell Rachel all this when he got back Sunday afternoon.
"Okay, well if you have a valid reason for being up early, then I guess I can't be mad." Finn replied grabbing a cup of coffee and a muffin that Kurt had laid out.
"So what's on the agenda today for Mr. Hudson?"
"A meeting with Artie and then a meeting with a possible client, a client with a demo CD."
"Sounds enlightening, I'll let you go if you have to drive all the way to Artie's place, just drive safe."
"I will, and I'll call you when I get off work okay?"
"Okay, have fun today Finn."
"When don't I have fun? I love you."
"Love you more, bye."
Finn hung up his cell phone and made his way out to his car, he had to drive an hour to go pick Artie up and an hour back so they could go over things at the studio. When he arrived at the house he knocked on the door.
"Come on in!" Tina's voice called, Finn laughed and walked inside to a mess of toys and clothes; Sophie was playing dress up most likely.
"It's only me so no need to come give me a hug or anything, that's fine with me." Finn called out, he had to take that back a minute later when Sophie ran through to him, her arms wrapping around his leg.
"Mommy, unc Finny." She yelled as he picked her up and walked into the kitchen to see Tina making food for the kids.
"Yeah Mommy, uncle Finny's here" Finn laughed as he gave Tina a one armed hug. "Now where's Carson?" at the sound of his name Tina and Artie's 18 month old son waddled into the kitchen. "Here he is, now Sophie, Carson, sit on the floor and stay still, Uncle Finny has something for you."
"Uncle Finny needs to quit buying them things." Tina laughed as she stepped passed Finn who was digging in his bag.
"Well you're no fun, I'll be the fun relative they love more, see how you like that Tina." Finn laughed pulling out two bears with a record in their hands, 'Hudson Records' was written across them. "New company teddy just came through, I saved four. One for Sophie," he said handing her a bear. "One for Carson. Then there's one for Austin and one for my boy when he gets here."
Tina looked at the bear and at Finn quickly.
"You had four specially made didn't you?"
"No why would you say that?"
"It has their names on the back Finn, you're insane."
"I love you too Tina, now, where's your husband?"
"I'm right here, hang on." Artie called from the hallways as he walked down into the kitchen. He was fully walking on his own now, the crutches and wheelchair far behind him.
"Looking good my man," Finn greeted him pounding his fist against Artie's. "so you ready to get on the road?"
"You bet, I'll meet you out in the car."
"Alrighty, see you later Tina, bye kids." Finn said waving as he backed out of the kitchen and made his way to the car to wait. He waited five minutes until Artie came out of the house and hopped in the car. "I hope you know you're in for a long week Artie."
"Well a week is nothing if I'm going to be managing this everyday with you over the phone when you leave." Artie replied laughing as Finn lowered to roof and cranked his music, speeding down the driveway.
"I'm on the highway to hell!" he sang slowing down to meet the road. "Or not, traffics too bad."
