A/N: Here's another chapter. Hope you enjoy. Reviews are love! Have a Merry Christmas!

"Papa, Daddy, I'm home!" Rachel yelled as she came in the front door.

LeRoy came in the room and greeted Rachel. "Hi, sweetie." He kissed her cheek.

"I got Daddy's meds. Has he gotten up yet?" She said as she put her things away.

"Yeah, he's taking a shower. I'll get him to take his medicine when he gets out. You should go check on Katie."

Rachel stopped for a moment. "Why? What happened? Is she okay?"

"Relax, sweetheart. She got up after you left. She said she wasn't feeling well and then she started crying because you weren't here. I took her back to your room and told her to rest and that you'd be back soon. She's just resting right now."

"Does she have a fever?" Rachel asked as she made her way up the stairs.

"I don't think so. She didn't feel warm. I think it's just a cold."

"Okay. I'll go check on her. Thanks for calming her down."

"No problem, sweetie."

Rachel made her way to her childhood room. She opened the door and was greeted with an overwhelming amount of pink. She had let Katie sleep in here because she thought her five year old might like it.

Sure enough, her daughter was in the bed sound asleep. Rachel walked over and tried to gently feel of Katie's forehead. She felt the girl move beneath her hand and knew that she had woken her up.

"Sorry, sweetie. Just checking to see if you have a fever."

Katie rolled onto her side to face her mom. She wiped some of the sleep from her eyes. "I feel bad."

"I know. Grandpapa told me. Do you feel throw-up sick or just icky sick?"

Katie thought for a moment. "Icky."

"Alright, well how about I go get you some water and then you can go back to sleep."

"Kay."

After Rachel had gotten Katie some water and tucked her back into bed, she decided to go back to the store.

"Papa, Daddy, I'll be back."

"Hey, Jack."

"Good morning, Finn."

Finn couldn't help but feel the opposite way. He had left the bank and stopped by his house to talk with his mom.

"Is there nothing else that you can do?" She asked tearing up.

"No. I'm sorry, mom, but after the remodel, there is just nothing left." He explained.

"What about all the people who work there?"

"I'll have to let them know to start looking for work."

"Those poor people. There's got to be another way."

"Sorry, mom, but there's not. I've tried everything."

"Have you told Kurt yet?"

Finn sighed. "No. I'm putting that one off. I don't know how he'll react."

"If you don't want to tell him, I will."

"No. It should be me. I just wish I could've have done more to prevent this."

"It's not your fault, Finn. The shop was losing money long before Burt died." She then changed the topic by asking what Finn wanted for breakfast.

Finn had left the house and made his way to the shop. He figured he could get in some work and get his mind off everything. He told Amanda, his assistant, to notify everyone that they were going to have meeting that afternoon. He was already dreading it.

-X-

She couldn't believe it. Out of all the things that could happen to her.

"Hey, Papa." She said into the phone.

"Hey Sweetie. What's up?"

"My car has ceased to run and is smoking." She sighed. "Again."

"Did you call Burt's?"

"Not really…"

"Rachel…"

"I know. I just don't want to deal with him right now. Can't you just come down here and call for me and then take me home?"

"Oh alright. I'll be there in a bit."

"Thank you, Papa." She hung up and proceeded to gather her things out of her car, thankful that her papa was going take care of everything.

"Mr. Hudson?"

Finn came out from under the Honda Civic he was working on and saw his assistant poking her head out of the office. "Amanda, I told you to call me Finn." He said standing and wiping his hands on an old rag.

"Sorry, M-, Finn."

"That's okay. What do you need?"

"A call just came in asking for a tow. Volkswagen Jetta on Felton Drive. Broke down and smoking." She read from a small note. "Owner's name is Berry. Do you want to go get it or do you want me to send Blake?"

Finn thought for a moment. He could easily use this opportunity to see her, but with everything that was going on. He just didn't want to have to deal with that problem, too. "Go ahead and send Blake. I'm pretty tied up here." He said before making his way back under the car.

-X-

"Hey, sweetie."

"Hey, Papa. Thanks for coming." Rachel said as she hugged her father.

"No problem. I went ahead and called the shop. They should be here soon."

"Good." She said trying not to further the conversation.

Picking up on this, her papa changed the subject. "Did you get Katie's medicine?"

Rachel rummaged through her bag. "Yes, and I got her some Kleenex and some Dots and a Sprite. Those always make her feel better. Was she asleep when you left?"

"Seemed like it."

A tow truck from Burt's Auto Shop then pulled up and parked in front of Rachel's car. Rachel held her breath as she waited to see who would step out of the truck. Thankfully, it was a guy she had never met before.

He loaded up her car and gathered her information so that they could contact her when they had her car fixed.

-X-

Finn looked up when he saw the tow truck return with Rachel's car. He finished up the car he had been working on and made his way over to help Blake unload the car.

"Hey, man." Finn greeted.

"Hey, Finn."

"Need a hand?"

"That'd be great." They started to lower the car off the truck.

"So, did the driver seem okay?" Finn asked.

"Uh, yeah." Blake answered. "Her dad was with her. He took her home. You know it wasn't a wreck, right?"

"Yeah, I just knew the girl back in high school and wanted to make sure."

"Oh so that's why." Blake said with a smirk.

Finn shrugged it off and continued to help Blake with the car.

Once the car was down, they got it into the garage and started problem-shooting. Finn knew right away what the problem was. It was the same problem she had had way back in high school. He located the leaky valves that he had fixed over and over again years before. They looked worse than ever before. He decided that it would be best if he ordered the part and finally replaced it.

Once he had settled on his plan, he went and put in an order for the part. He came back and looked at the car. She had kept it in pretty good shape. Tires looked fairly new. He wiped his hand across the top and could instantly tell that it had recently had a wax job. Just looking at her car, he could tell so much about her. It was kind of like reading her diary.

He knew it was wrong but, he decided to get in the drivers seat. As he settled in the car, he took in the smell. He had hoped that it would smell like her, but it looked like she had just put in a new air freshener. There were bits of trash everywhere which surprised him. Rachel had always been a bit OCD when it came to keeping her car neat. He saw a few straw wrappers and then gum wrappers. He looked above his head and checked out CDs that she had been listening to lately. It was basically the same ones she had had in there seven years ago. He noticed a few different ones, but one in particular caught his eye.

It was a childish looking CD with some overly happy and overly colorful people on the front called the Doodlebops. He questioned the reason for Rachel having this CD. He figured that she might have become a children's music teacher and listened to the CD to get inside their heads.

He rummaged around a bit more in the front seat finding random objects such as chap stick and pitch pipe. Finn decided that he had seen enough and that he should start getting ready for his staff meeting. He exited the car and shut the door. He looked through the window at the front seat to make sure it didn't look like he had been in there, when he saw something in the back seat. It was bulky. He moved to the other side of the car and peered through the window. What he saw shocked him more than anything. It was the one thing he never thought that he'd find in that car.

It was a car seat. A pink car seat.
