Three Months Later (May 17, 2013)
Finn and Sam are hard at work in their trailer. Sam just hung up the phone talking to a sexy (in Sam's opinion) woman.
"We meet Amber, 7:30 at your place" Sam told Finn.
"I know she's important!" Finn yelled at him.
"She sounds blonde, audibly blonde" Sam replied.
"Sam, please don't hit on this woman. She's married to the county commissioner."
"I'll get wine" Sam said and walked out of the trailer.
"He's going to hit on her." Finn said to himself
Sam glanced out the window and noticed Finn's family friend, Quinn Fabray.
"Incoming!" Finn hid under his desk when Quinn arrived at the door of their trailer.
Sam opened the door and greeted Quinn.
"Hi, I'm looking for Finn"
"You know he just stepped out"
"Shoot! I thought I might catch him here" Quinn remarked. "We've been communicating back and forth for months, but he always seems so busy"
"You could leave him a note if you want. Here's a pad." Sam suggested, while handing Quinn a pad of paper.
"No, that's okay. I'm Quinn Fabray. Our families are very close friends." She put her hand out for Sam to shake it.
Just then, Mara came in looking for Finn.
"Finn?"
"He went to the store" Sam lied.
"But his car's right outside." Mara noticed.
"He took a bulldozer, okay, Mara?" Sam fibbed.
"That Finn is always in ten places at once, isn't he?" Quinn wondered and she left the premises with Finn still under his desk.
"You've been avoiding that?" Sam wondered.
"Since fifth grade" Finn replied.

Finn and Sam are sitting on Finn's porch discussing their motives for building their newest nightclub, Middle Club with Amber, the county commissioner's wife.
"Can you bring some ice? And put some vodka in it?" Amber asked Sam as he got up from the table.
"One vodka coming up" Sam told her.
"I'm afraid I'm actually out of vodka, so why don't we all just go out to dinner?" Finn suggested.
Sam enters the kitchen and walks into the foyer and opens the door. There appears the young brunette girl that Finn met at the Italian restaurant months before.
"Hello?" Sam asked curiously.
"Umm…I think I have the wrong house" Rachel replied.
"If you're looking for Finn, he's right inside"
"He is?" she asked.
Sam walked back to where Finn and Amber were to tell Finn that Rachel was waiting for her.
"Excuse me, Finn? You have a visitor." Sam told him.
"I do?" Finn wondered.
He excused himself from the table and met Rachel in the kitchen.
"Rachel!" Finn acted surprised.
"You remembered?" Rachel asked.
"How could I have forgotten? I've looked all over for you"
"I would have called you, but I didn't have your number. Besides, you just disappeared on me"
"I didn't know what to do. I have never done anything like that, going home with someone I don't know"
"It was just one of those great, phenomenal, spontaneous things" Finn reassured her.
"Yes it was" Rachel agreed.
"How long has it been?" Finn asked.
"Three months" Rachel noticed some crackers on Finn's countertop. "Do you mind if I have some of these? My stomach is not so good"
"Go ahead and help yourself. Would you like something to drink? I've got…..water"
"Sure, water's fine".
Rachel noticed that Finn had decorated his place more since their one-night stand.
"You've done a lot with this place" she noticed.
"Yeah, I've been busy"
'You look beautiful" Finn told her.
"Thank you"
"So what's new?"
"I'm pregnant" Rachel said scared.
"Really? Pregnant? Well, that's great! Terrific! I think that congratulations are in order"
"Thanks, Finn. It's yours."
"Mine? Are you sure? We were a one-night stand."
"That's all it took"
"And I used a condom"
"Well, I guess it didn't work"
"But that's its whole purpose in life! Its job is to work!"
"Look, Finn, I've thought about this and there's only one thing to do"
"I understand and I support you completely."
"You do?" Rachel asked.
"Yes"
"Well, that's good because I want to keep this baby and I don't want your money or anything. I just thought that the wise decision would to be to come here and tell you that I am pregnant, that I'm keeping it and that you're the father."
Just then, Amber and Sam joined Finn and Rachel in the kitchen.
"I was starting to think that you forgot about me out there. It's time that we went to dinner." Amber suggested.
Finn, still a little startled from the news barked at Amber.
"Amber, can you just give me a minute, please?"
Rachel grabbed her purse and headed out the door. "I see that I came at a bad time, I'll let myself out"
Sam opened the door for Amber and he began to leave Finn's house when Finn noticed Rachel sitting her car crying. She looked up and noticed Finn and began speeding away from his house.
"Finn? Finn? What are you doing?" Sam asked Finn as he got into his car and began speeding in efforts to find Rachel.
"Finn is going to meet us there" Sam told Amber.

Finn was speeding in traffic when he noticed Rachel turn off. He suddenly u-turned into oncoming traffic and caused an upheaval with the other drivers.
"Shit! Sorry" Finn said to himself.
Finn finally found Rachel who was sitting on the edge of the Hoover Dam.
"Oh, my goodness!" Finn got out of his car and began to rush to her side.
"Don't jump!" he began yelling at her.
Rachel turned around and noticed Finn walking closer to her.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Rachel snapped at him.
"Stay off the ledge!" Finn suggested to her.
"What? You think I am going to kill myself? I'm not an idiot!" Rachel snapped again. "But if you come any closer, I'll throw you over"
"Wait a minute. You walked out on me at 4am. I never heard from you. Now here I am three months later and you tell me you're pregnant and you expect me to know what to do? Well, I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do" Finn told her.
"That's the best thing you've said all night" Rachel replied.
"This place is incredible. I love it here. My grandfather and uncle helped build it. They came from Tel Aviv in the 1920's."
"Really?" Finn asked intrigued.
"My parents are going to kill me" Rachel said, changing the subject.
Finn, joining her on the ledge, started to comfort her. "They don't know?" he asked.
"No, no one does, except Kurt, my roommate. They can be very passionate when it comes to their little girl."
"Rachel, what can I do?" Finn asked.
"I'll deal with it."
"No, really, I want to help"
"Well, there is one thing. Come meet them tonight at dinner."
"Your parents?" Finn wondered.
"Yeah, just so later on, when they ask who the father is, I can tell them: "You met him when I brought him home once, remember?"
"That sounds simple enough. Just tell me when and we'll go"
"When" and with that, Finn and Rachel departed to Rachel's parent's house.

Finn and Rachel are in Rachel's car discussing their lives.
"So, you eat with your family every week?" Finn asked.
"Yeah, it's sort of important to my mom. Why, you don't?"
"No, only on holidays and stuff and trust me, with my parents that's a lot.
"How will we go about this?" Finn asked, changing the subject.
Act like we've been dating for a few months and whatever you do, don't tell them that I picked you outside the bathroom, okay?"
"I thought I picked you up. We've been dating a few months. Who are you?"
"Let's see, I'm a waitress at the Luxor which pays the bills, but in real life, I'm an up and coming actress anxiously awaiting them to do an off-Broadway production here in Las Vegas. I'm the only child, but my parents adopted a little girl when I was sixteen. Her name is Beth."
"My uncle Patrick is my favorite, he's married to my aunt Flora. She loves compliments, so give them to her often."
"Oh and my cousin Charlie has a daughter named after me. Any questions?" Rachel asked adjusting Finn's tie.
"Yes, what's your last name?"
"Berry and you are Finn?"
"Hudson"
"It's nice to meet you" and they walked into her parent's house together.

"Mom! Daddy!" Rachel went up to her parents standing in the kitchen and began to be affectionate with them.
Rachel's parents turned around to see Finn standing in the walkway of the kitchen.
"Who's this, sweetheart?" Rachel's dad, Hiram asked her.
Rachel brings Finn closer to where her parents are standing.
"Mom, Daddy, I would like you to meet Finn Hudson."
"Rachel's talked so much about you two" Finn began trying to please her father.
"That's funny because she's never mentioned you" Hiram began to raise his voice to Finn.
"Hiram, behave yourself" Rachel's mother, Shelby suggested.
"One minute she's engaged and the next, she brings home a man with a tie!"
"I was not engaged!" Rachel yelled.
"I was engaged!" Rachel reassured Finn.
At this time, Rachel's mother walked over to Finn and the two walked into the living room while Rachel told her father about her pregnancy.
"Let me take your jacket" Shelby told Finn.
Finn handed her his jacket and she hung it up in the coat closet.
"You'll have to excuse Hiram, sometimes, I think he wishes Rachel was still five years old. When you're a father, you'll know what that means"
Rachel began yelling with her father in the kitchen
"Daddy, I can handle my love life!"
"Since when?" Hiram bellowed.
"I see that it runs in the family" Alex told Shelby.

At dinner, Finn noticed Rachel's cousin, Tina holding her baby daughter. He walked up to her to notice the baby.
"She's beautiful" Finn told Tina.
"Thank you. Would you mind holding her while I get myself something to eat?"
"No, I don't think I should"
"You'll be fine. Just be sure to support her head"
"Why? Does it fall off?"
XXX
A few hours later, Finn was cleaning up the vomit that Tina's baby left on him.
"How can this much stuff come out of something so small?"
Rachel walks up to him and begins to kiss him. He backs off.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"To say thanks for coming here and meeting my family"

Night time had fallen and Rachel was driving Finn back to his car.
"Can I give you my number so that you can reach me?"
"No, it's better this way. Nothing too complicated."
Finn got out of the car and began to walk away when suddenly, he got an idea.
"Finn Hudson, what the hell are you doing? Get out of the way!"
"Don't do this, there's nothing to say"
"Just wait, there might be"
"This afternoon I was having trouble deciding what I wanted for lunch, but everything seemed to make sense, you know? And now, here am I and nothing seems to make sense anymore. I was actually worried that I met the love of my life at the grocery store or something, but then I met you and something changed. You're the one I've always wanted. I am not sure what that means, but I think that it has to do with the rest of my life and I think that we should get married, right now!"
And with that, Finn and Rachel drove off into the distance and eloped at the Little White Chapel on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Sorry that chapter was super long, but I like the way it turned out. Please review! Much love, Stephanie
