So here's chapter 2. Enjoy!
I still don't own Glee.
Amy was already sleeping soundly when they reached the apartment. Finn opened the front door and went straight to his bedroom. Carefully he laid the sleeping Amy down on his bed and pulled the comforter over her tiny body. Then he looked down at her. Her face was moving and she was tossing from side to side as if she had a bad nightmare. Finn didn't want to wake her, so he grabbed a few blankets out of the closet and went back to the living room. He laid down on the couch and was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillows.
"Finn, Finn wake up!" A voice as loud as a bell reached his ear. He opened his eyes slowly and saw Amy who was bouncing up and down on the other side of the couch.
"Amy" Finn grumbled and pulled a pillow over his head, wanting to go back to sleep so badly.
"Finn, get up! We have to find mommy" Amy said with a stern voice. That reminded Finn of his duties and he rubbed his eyes and got up slowly. Then he heard a growl in his stomach.
"Amy, how about breakfast first?" he asked. Amy smiled sheepishly. Finn knew that she had to be hungry. As far as he knew, a daily breakfast wasn't usual for her.
"I am hungry" Amy said bashfully. Finn took her hand and led her into the kitchen. Amy eyes went huge.
"I've never seen a beautiful kitchen like yours. I've never seen a kitchen in my entire life" Amy said and looked around, her beautiful green eyes still observing the room. Meanwhile, Finn went to the fridge and looked for all the things they needed for a proper breakfast.
"What do you want to drink?" Finn asked.
"Do you have any juice?" Amy asked and looked down to the floor, blushing.
"Sure" Finn said and took a bottle of orange juice out of the fridge. Amy sat down at the breakfast nook. She smiled brightly and started eating as if she hadn't eaten in months. On one hand, Finn was just happy because Amy seemed to be beyond satisfied but on the other hand, he felt guilty because he had so much (more than he would ever need) and little kids like Amy didn't even have enough to eat. This world wasn't fair at all. After finishing breakfast, they went to the bathroom and brushed their teeth (Amy insisted on that because apparently, her mom taught her that it was necessary. Finn wondered since when homeless people cared about their teeth that much). Then Finn just put a pair of jeans and a pullover on and called his agent that he wouldn't come for work today. That was one of the benefits when you were the boss of a company. You could take a day off whenever you wanted.
"Ready to find your mom?" Finn asked. Amy nodded eagerly.´
"Where are we going to look for her?" Amy asked.
"The police" Finn replied and Amy's face went pale. Finn kneeled down on her level.
"What's up?" he asked.
"I don't like the police. They always chase me and mommy away when we're sleeping somewhere and they find us. And they're always mean" Amy said and made an awkward face. Finn thought for a moment.
"You may not like them but I'm sure they'll help us to find your mom. And I'll protect you in case they're mean. Nothing will happen to you, I promise" Finn said encouragingly. Amy took his hand and they left the apartment.
When they reached the police station Amy suddenly stopped and started crying.
"Amy, what's up?" he asked and took both of her hands.
"I'm scared. I want mommy" Amy cried. Finn's heart broke.
"We'll find her, ok?" Finn said and hugged her.
"Pick me up?" Amy asked and looked at him with her big green eyes.
"Of course" Finn said with a warm smile and lifted Amy up. Then he pushed the door open. Behind the counter, there was a woman with short blonde hair and cold blue eyes. She looked at them sternly. Amy buried her face in Finn's neck and Finn had to admit that she looked kind of mean. Sue Sylvester was on her nameplate.
"Good morning. I'm Finn Hudson…" Finn started but Ms Sylvester interrupted him.
"Is this Amalthea Lola Berry?"she asked.
"Yes" Finn replied confused.
"Good because her mother is sitting in the waiting room and it's an understatement when I say that she has a nervous breakdown" Ms Sylvester said. At the mention of her mother, Amy lifter her head and looked at Finn curiously.
"My mommy is here?" she asked hopefully.
"We'll see" Finn said. He didn't want to bring Amy's hopes up in case her mother wasn't here. Ms Sylvester led them into a small backroom and there sat, on a black plastic chair, a beautiful woman. She was small, like really tiny, her hair was unkempt, her clothes looked dirty and frayed like Amy's but still she was beautiful. Her hair was just as brown and as curly as Amy's. She had her face buried in her hands and her body was shaken by sobs. Amy jumped out of Finn's arms.
"Mommy!" she exclaimed. The woman lifted her head and when she saw Amy she cried even harder. But this time, the tears were happy and relieved tears. She stood up and lifted Amy into her arms.
"Amy, Amy, my darling" she cried and peppered kisses all over Amy's face. Amy giggled.
"Stop crying, mommy. I'm here now" she said and gave her mom a big wet kiss on the cheek. Then the woman noticed Finn and her beautiful features turned angry.
"You…" she growled and placed Amy back on the ground.
"Whoa, what did I do?" Finn asked and help up his hands defensively. The tiny woman walked up to him and, Finn couldn't believe it, slapped him across the face. A sharp pain burnt in his cheek. This woman knew for sure how to smack someone.
"You stole my baby" she yelled and hid Amy behind her back. Finn got angry himself.
"Slow down, I didn't steal anyone" he said, still shocked from the previous slap.
"Mommy, he's right. He helped me. He chased the mean man away. He would've hurt me if Finn hadn't been there" Amy said suddenly.
"Oh baby" the woman said and hugged Amy. Amy told her the story of how she wanted to help and tried to steal the wallet had how Finn had taken care of her and in the end, the woman was crying again. Finn figured that she was quite the cryer.
"Honey, never do this to me ever again. I love you so much. Never leave me again. Promise?" she said and kissed Amy on the cheek.
"I promise. I love you too, mommy" she nodded eagerly "but you have to apologize to Finn" Amy said and pointed at Finn who stood in the corner of the room. The woman walked up to him.
"I guess she's right. I am really sorry that I accused you and I thank you so much for taking care of Amy. I suppose Amy told you about our…living conditions…and well, she's everything I have and I was so worried and…" the woman explained and looked deeply ashamed. She blushed out of embarrassment and it was the cutest thing Finn had ever seen.
"Hey, it's ok. It really is. Amy is such a sweetheart" Finn said.
"Yes, yes she is" the woman said and smiled proudly.
"I'm Finn, by the way, Finn Hudson" Finn said and held out his hand.
"Like the river" Amy exclaimed and laughed. Her mother smiled and shook Finn's hand.
"I'm Rachel Berry" she said and then she looked Finn directly in the eyes. Finn was mesmerized by her deep chocolate brown eyes and Rachel was also lost in Finn's warm amber ones. When Finn realized that he still held Rachel's extremely soft and tiny hand he cleared his throat. Rachel suddenly pulled her hand back and blushed again. Then Finn had an idea.
"Umm… I just thought, because I know about your living condition and stuff, maybe you need somebody, like an emergency plan or something, well, whatever, here's my number and my address" he said and scribbled both on a piece of paper before he handed it over to Rachel. She smiled warmly.
"Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. And thank you again for everything you did for us" she said and her beaming smile lit up the whole room. Finn couldn't tear his eyes away from her beautiful face.
"You can call me anytime in case you need something" he said.
"Thank you" Rachel said and surprised Finn by wrapping her arms around his chest and hugging him. Finn reciprocated the hug and placed both of his hands on her waist. She smelled really good. It didn't smell like shampoo or freshly showered or anything. It was more like a natural scent and Finn was pretty sure that he wouldn't forget it. Put then she pulled back and took Amy's hand.
"Say goodbye, Amy" Rachel said.
"Goodbye Finn. I like you. You are very nice" she said and placed a sloppy kiss on Finn's cheek. Finn hugged her one last time. Then Amy walked over to her mom and they left the police station. Amy turned around once more and looked over her shoulders. Finn waved and Amy smiled. He would miss her, even though he had known her for only 12 hours but a certain feeling told him that he would see both of them again.
Awww...Finchel. So Rachel has Amy back. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows now. What's up next for our favorite couple?
