I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT: BRIELLE AND SOPHIE!


"Is there a ballet school close by?"

Finn opened his eyes and saw his daughter in his face. He shrieked as he sat up, resulting in their heads colliding with one another.

"Oww!" Brielle whined as she rubbed her forehead.

"Oh god," said Finn as he rubbed his back. "I slept on the couch last night?"

"I tried waking you up!"

"What is that music playing?" Finn asked.

"It's Tchaikovsky, I was practicing some of my dances! Do you know how to make a ballerina bun?"

"Do I look like I know? What time is it?"

"Nine fifteen, why?"

"Shit!" said Finn as he shot up from the couch and ran to his bedroom.

"My mom says we're not supposed to swear," Brielle commented, loud enough for Finn to hear.

"Yeah well your mom isn't running late for an interview on her new movie is she? Come on change out of that thing you're wearing."

"It's called a tutu!"

"Yeah yeah whatever," said Finn as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Quinn?" he asked.

"Hey, what is it? You know you're late right? Puck tried calling you a bunch of times."

"I know I know, I'm on my way now. Can you do me a favor though?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Can you watch Brielle for today. I don't want her interfering with my work."

"Yeah it's fine, but Finn, remember what I said last night?"

Finn sighed, "Yeah I do."

"Why don't you take her to the Santa Monica Pier? She'd love that."

"Yeah alright, I'll think about it. Thanks Quinn I'll be there soon."

"Okay, no problem Finn, see ya soon," said Quinn.

"See ya," said Finn as he hung up.

"Why can't I go with you to your interview?"

Finn changed his shirt as Brielle stood in the doorway,waiting for an answer, "Because I don't want you distracting me today. I need to focus."

Finn could see how upset Brielle was and started to feel bad, "Brielle I'm sorry. How about I look into finding a ballet school for you?"

Brielle lit up immediately, "You would do that?"

Finn nodded, "Yeah, it can't be that hard right?"

"Thanks Finn! I'll go get changed!" said Brielle running off.

After Finn dropped off Brielle at Quinn and Puck's house, he was off working on promoting his movie. Brielle didn't mind spending time with Quinn and Sophie for the day, but she'd rather spend time with Finn.

"Hi Brie!" Sophie exclaimed as she left the couch and gave the girl a hug.

"Hi Sophie," Brielle studdered, seeing the sudden change in Sophie. She assumed that Sophie was used to her by now, which didn't take long at all.

"My mommy is braiding my hair!" said Sophie, pointing to her one braid that was fully done.

Brielle smiled, "I can see that!" Sophie ran back into the living room where Quinn was. She sat next to Quinn again as she let her finish braiding her hair.

"Hi Brielle, how are you?"

"I'm good, thank you," said Brielle. Seeing Sophie and Quinn together made Brielle become upset. She missed it when Rachel would braid her hair for her.

"Do you want me to braid your hair next Brielle?" Quinn asked, seeing that she was left out.

Brielle bit her bottom lip and smiled. She placed her doll and bag on the other couch and sat next to Sophie. When Sophie was done, Quinn started on Brielle's hair.

"Brie I have a dollie too!" said Sophie, showing Brielle her own doll. "Can we play togteher wif them?"

Brielle giggled, "Sure!"

Once Quinn finished Brielle's braids, Sophie took Brielle's hand again and led her to the play room. Both girls sat down on the floor and started playing together. "Woah! What's that?" Sophie asked as she noticed something in Brielle's bag.

"It's called a Bedazzler! Wanna see how it works?"

Sophie anxiously nodded, she loved learning about new things. Brielle explained to her how the Bedazzler works and what you could do with it and Sophie was amazed! They started to bedazzle some of Sophie's doll clothes and other items Sophie had. "You so nice Brie. I always wanted a big sister!"

"Yeah me too!"

"Well I do have big sister but I don't see her. Mommy and daddy talk about her a lot. Her name Bef and she live wif a lady name Shh-el-"

"Shelby?"

"That it!"

Brielle knew who Sophie was talking about. She always saw Beth, probably around three to four times a month and they were best friends. She felt bad that Quinn and Puck always talk about her and miss her. It was only when Brielle met Quinn that she made the connection.

It wasn't untill later that night when Finn and Puck arrived back at the house. "Hey," said Puck, giving Quinn a peck on the cheek.

"Hey! How did everything go today?"

"Great, no one know's about Brielle or anything," said Puck.

"Yeah yet, it's only a matter of time," Finn added. "So was she, okay?"

"Oh she was fine, Sophie adores her. They played with their dolls together and they got along great. Brielle's asleep though, she's on the couch," said Quinn.

"Thanks," said Finn, walking into the living room. He saw Brielle asleep on the couch, covered by a blanket with her doll close to her chest.

"Brielle wake up," Finn said quietly. "Brielle," Finn said again.

"Dude you gotta carry her. She's out and definately not waking up anytime soon," said Puck.

Finn was nervous, he didn't want to drop her or anything. He knew that Rachel would kill him if he did. Finn slowly took the blanket off Brielle's body and grabbed her tote bag, slinging it over his shoulder. Gently he crouched down closer to Brielle, scooping her into his arms, he stood up slowly as Brielle adjusted herself while she slept.

Quinn smiled at the scene before her, she knew that Finn was slowly getting the hang of being a dad. She opened the door for him so that he could get her to the car as swiftly as possible. "Thanks again Q, for everything," said Finn.

Quinn nodded, "Night Finn."

"Night, see ya Puck."

Puck gave him a smile and a wave, "See ya."

By the time they got home, Brielle had her arms around Finn's neck for support. She also started to snore a little which made Finn silently chuckle. He saw the couch, debating if he should have her sleep there for the night or not. Instead, he headed towards his room. He opened the door and carefully placed her on the bed. Finn took off her ballet flats as well as her beloved pink headband that she always wore. Finally, he made sure that she had her doll with her, god knows what would happen if she didn't have that doll by her side. Finn then pulled the covers over her small frame.

In that moment Finn started to see Brielle in a different way. Not just as Brielle, but as his daughter. He wanted to change things, now he only had less than a month to get to know her and he needed to start right away.
