When I started this story I had no idea it would be so popular! Since it is still summer and I am just sitting at work I actually finished another chapter so I decided to post it for all those that wanted an update soon! Thank-you so much for the reviews and a special thanks to lizchavez for her help finding a few songs to sing at the Wemma Wedding. If any of you have ideas for songs me to use in this story please send me a Private message or follow me on Twitter ( lanajie20) and let me know! I hope you enjoy this story!


About 30 minutes after all the excitement had happened in New York, everyone was checking in for their Google hangout. Once a month, they all tried to get together in this way since they were spread all across the country. Tina, Artie, Sam, Joe, Blaine, Brittney, and Sugar were in Lima still. Mercedes and Puck were in California. Rachel, Santana, Kurt, Finn, and Quinn were on the East Coast, and Mike was in Chicago. Rory would sometimes join them but it was difficult since he was in Ireland again since his Student Visa really couldn't be extended. It was amazing how close they all stayed despite the long distances.

Rachel, Kurt, and Santana were all seated in various places in the front room. Santana was lying on the floor; Kurt was sitting on the love sack with Rachel on the couch. Finn was of course in the kitchen trying to find something to eat after his long trip to New York. Everyone's computers were all signed in besides Rory. They hadn't sent him the text to talk about the hangout because he wouldn't be included in the wedding.

"Hello friends," called Kurt. "I think we are ready to get this hangout started. Did everyone get a letter or email from Mr. Schue?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. "Wait, shouldn't we wait for Finn to log on," spoke up Quinn.

"I'm right here," called Finn from the kitchen. Rachel couldn't contain her excitement at the fact that Finn was actually sitting in her apartment. She turned towards the kitchen and watched as he walked towards her with a sandwich in hand. She hadn't really taken a good look at him since he had arrived. He had always been athletic but he looked even more toned than he had five months previous. He sunk down on the couch next to her and wrapped his arm around her as he began eating his sandwich. Rachel looked back at her computer to see everyone looking at her with a surprised look.

"Surprise! Finn is here in New York for a few days!" Rachel was grinning from ear to ear. Everyone began to laugh. "Alright, now that all of us are here I guess we should tell you the reason for our hangout since we had one about two weeks ago. As you all know, Mr. Schue is getting married the end of March and we are to wear yellow dresses and the guys wear a tie to match the dress of their partner. Well we came up with a fabulous idea. Kurt, would you like to explain?"

"Well as you are all aware, I am taking fashion classes. So I just got off the phone with some of my professors and they all said that they would allow me to design the dresses and ties and count it as most of my projects for the next few weeks. So if it is alright with all of you, I would like to design the outfits we will be wearing?"

"Kurt I think that is a great idea," announced Tina. "I was actually kind of worried about how I was going to find a tie for Mike that matched a dress. Well obviously I am paired with Mike but who is everyone else paired with?"

Puck was paired with Quinn, Sam with Mercedes, Finn with Rachel, Kurt with Brittney, Blaine with Santana, Artie with Sugar, Mike with Tina, Joe with Coach Sylvester, and Burt Hummel with Coach Beiste as the best man and maid of honor. Everyone agreed to get their measurements into Kurt as soon as possible so that they could so he could begin making the dresses. Lucky for everyone, he already had a ton of sketches that he would just need to perfect before they could be made final. The only one who had any real requests was Sugar who demanded that her dress be the brightest of them all.

"Now on to song selection, Rachel, Kurt, and I are apparently in charge of putting together the set list for the wedding. Any ideas that you may have right now," asked Santana as she opened up a new document on her computer.

After a few moments of contemplating, Artie spoke up, "Well we all know Mr. Schue loves his oldies. What if we did some older songs? I was thinking that maybe the girls could sing "At Last" by the legendary Etta James and then I was listening to my iPod and heard the song "This I Promise You" by N'SYNC. Maybe the boys could sing it?"

"Perfect Artie! I think for a group number we should sing their other song "God must have spent a little more time on you," commented Mercedes.

Sam smiled at her and then brought his attention back to the group, "Are all you going to be here for the week-long workshop? I was thinking that maybe our three New Yorkers could pick the lines we all sing and then we could have Mike and Britt help us with choreography during that week. I mean, I already planned on spending as much time as possible with Cedes but I'm fine with spending a lot of time with the whole group!"

They all agreed that they didn't want Mr. Schue to know exactly what the performance would look like so they would spend time outside of school during the week to perfect their songs and dancing for the wedding. Realizing that it was getting really late for their friends on the east coast the friends all said goodnight and agreed to get their measurements to Kurt as soon as they could. This wedding was going to be even more spectacular than the first glee wedding.


Rachel was lying on the bed looking through some of the songs everyone had suggested waiting for Finn to come out of the bathroom when she got a text from Quinn.

Hey Rach – I was wondering if I could come visit you sometime soon. I don't want to come when Finn is there but what if I came the weekend before we go to Lima? Some of my classes have gotten cancelled due to some workshops that are going on so I actually am done with classes that Tuesday before Spring Break. I know you would still have classes but then this way I could fly back to Lima with the three of you rather than by myself. Will that work?

Rachel quickly checked her schedule and ran to ask Santana and Kurt if that would be fine with them. They both agreed that it would be great for Q to stay for a few days and then fly home with them. She texted Quinn back to tell her that sounded like a great plan and to let her know when for sure she would be coming in. Rachel leaned back on the bed and thought about how far she and Quinn had come in the past few years. They had been complete enemies when they first met and had been fighting over the same boy. Now, Quinn wanted to come stay with her and make the trip back to Lima together. As she was working through the songs, she started humming absentmindedly.

"You know it only took you one more time." Rachel looked up quickly. She hadn't even noticed that Finn had come into the room. He was leaning against the bathroom door in just his basketball shorts. He was still holding his towel and had his arms folded. As he turned to throw it in the bathroom, she felt her breath catch. Finn had always been fit but she could now see the complete definition of his abs. She kept staring as he turned back around. It wasn't until he repeated his statement that she was brought back to reality.

"What do you mean it only took me one more time?"

"The song you were just humming." When she looked at him with a very confused look, he couldn't help but laugh. "Rach, do you even know what you were humming?" She shook her head and seemed even more confused as he came walking towards the bed. He smiled softly, "What were you thinking about before I came in the room?"

"Well I had just gotten a text from Quinn asking if she could come stay with us the Wednesday before we head back to Lima and so I was thinking about how strange it still is for me to be friends with her. I mean, with our history and all. What does that have to do with the song I was singing? Because the only song Q and I really sang was our mash-up of I feel pretty/unpretty and what you said has nothing to do with that song."

Finn dropped to the bed and put his hands behind his head. From where she was sitting, Rachel could see even more muscle definition that she had before when he was standing against the door frame. "It wasn't a song you sang with Quinn, it was a song she inspired. Well I guess she didn't inspire it, I did but what she said helped you dig into your pain. I was just answering you to tell you that it only took you one more time to get it right."

She finally understood what he was talking about. She had written that song for their regionals competition their junior year. Finn had been trying to get her to access and find the same emotion she felt every time she sang a solo but she had been struggling. Struggling until Quinn had told her that she would never have Finn and she would never get her fairytale right if she kept looking for the happy ending. After that, Rachel had written a phenomenal song that helped the team whiz past the Warblers. The meaning of the song was only mentioned right before she took the stage, when she had told Finn to listen carefully because she met every word of the song. It wasn't until now, two years later, that it was brought up again. When she didn't respond he finished what he had been thinking the moment he had heard her sing the song all that time ago. "Well I have told you before that after you sang that song, I felt like the world's biggest jerk for making you feel like it was your fault but as I listened to you sing that song, I realized that it wasn't you that needed to get anything right, it was me. I was more concerned with being popular than I was with doing what made me happy.

"When I walked in here and heard you humming that song, I realized that I had never told you that. We actually have never talked about that song outside of telling you how amazing it was. It almost brought back all those emotions besides the fact that I could tell you were doing it absentmindedly and you had already gotten it right."

Rachel smiled and set her papers down on the nightstand next to her bed, she ran to brush her teeth and get ready for bed. When she came back, Finn was still lying in the same position just staring up at the ceiling. She walked around to her side of the bed and cuddled in close to him. "Finn," she finally asked after contemplating her question for a while.

"Hmmm?"

"Have you been working out with the army? I mean you have always been in really good shape but I couldn't help but notice how toned your arms and abs are."

He pulled his arms out from behind his head and wrapped them around her. He sighed which she took as a bad sign. He gave a nervous chuckle before he answered her question, "The whole plan was to not do anything on the base besides working on the case. Detective Jones introduced me to a man who was in the same company as my dad. I started talking to him about my dad and we got pretty close. He asked me what had made me decide not to join the army after. I told him a bit about what had happened between us and he told me that I reminded him so much of my dad.

"I was pretty stressed with the case and everything when it first started out that Colt, my dad's friend, added me to some of the basic training groups. He said that I need to find an escape so I started doing some of the workouts with them. They tried really hard to convince me to join once I was in them, but Colt told me I needed to stick to my guns and just get done with the case so I could get back to you. He told me my dad wouldn't want me to follow in his footsteps in that way, rather to stay with the woman I love. So to answer your question, yes I have been working out with the army but no I didn't suddenly decide to join."

He waited for her reaction, trying to read her mood in the darkness. He felt her relax and felt her shift so she was closer to him. She began tracing circles across his stomach with her fingers. "You know, Finn Hudson, I love you so much."

He leaned down and placed a kiss on the top of her head, "I love you forever," he whispered into the darkness. They both fell asleep in each other's arms.
