Hope they chapter makes up for it!
One more to go after this one!
Enjoy :D X
The next morning, Finn awoke slowly. He yawned and lifted his head, sighing as he saw Rachel still unconsious. He stroked the back of her hand with his thumb gently, knowing how it kept her calm. Just then, the door opened and a two Doctor's walke din
'Good morning, Mr Hudson' said Nurse Rawson
'Morning. And please call me Finn' Finn replied, smiling. Nurse Rawson nodded and talked quietly to the other Doctor in the room, so Finn wouldn't hear.
'Finn, would you mind stepping outside for a minute while we just take some notes?' asked Doctor Smith. Finn chuckled.
'I'll move, but I'm not leaving' he said, reaching up to kiss Rachel's forehead. 'I'll be right here, okay?' he whispered to her. He moved, so the nurse could take results on Rachel's vital signs. Once was done, Finn moved into back place next to her bed and re took her hand.
'I'm back, babe' he told Rachel, resuming his stroking on her hand. Just then, he saw the Doctor pull a syringe out of a compact case and held it up to the light.
'Whoa! What's that?' Finn asked, not wanting the needle anywhere near Rachel if it was hurtful.
'It's just the medicine to bring Rachel round' the Doctor chuckled, making Finn relax.
'Oh... Okay' he said. He watched as the Doctor injected the medicine into Rachel, reassuring Rachel that he was there. Once the Doctor had injected the medicine, he threw it away safely and then went back to Rachel.
'Okay, she should start coming round in about two hours. In the meantime...' he turned to face Finn. 'I suggest you should go and get something to eat' he finished, making Finn chuckle.
'I'm not leaving her side' he said, focusing on Rachel again.
'Finn, nothing will happen to her while your gone, I promise. I can get one of my colleagues to come and sit with her while your gone' Doctor Smith said. Finn sighed and looked at the nurse and doctor, before looking at Rachel.
'Okay fine. But I'm coming straight back' Finn warned. He leant up to kiss Rachel on the forehead, before reluctantly leaving the room to feed himself...
An hour later, Finn arrived back to Rachel's room, seeing a nurse sat with Rachel just like Doctor Smith had promised. He opened the door and smiled.
'Thank you' he said sincerely. The elderly nurse smiled
'Not a problem, young one. Beautiful love' she said, before she headed out of the room, with a smiling Finn staring after her. He shook his head slightly and back in the seat next to Rachel's bed.
'I'm back, baby' he said, stroking her hand. He gazed up at her and sighed. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He used his free hand to dig it out of his jacket and opened up the text message from his Mom.
Sender: Mom
Are you coming home today? You need to tak care of yourself. Rachel won't be happy xx
Finn sighed and typed a one handed reply.
Sender: Finn
Don't know yet. Text you if I am xx
He sighed and put his phone back in his pocket, going back to staring at Rachel. 'Come on, Rach. Wake up. Please just wake up and show me that everything's going to be okay' he murmured, lifting her hand and grazing his lips along the back of it. A knock came to the door and Finn twisted his head to see Rachel's fathers in the doorway.
'Haven't you left?' asked Leroy, slightly shocked that Finn was there. Finn shook his head.
'Son, you have being taking care of yourself haven't you?' Hiram asked, as he and Leroy dragged up some chairs on the other side of Rachel's bed.
'Yeah' Finn partly lied. He knew he wasn't fooling anyone, but he was glad when Leroy and Hiram dropped the subject.
'So how has she been? Any change?' asked Hiram, holding his daughters hand, looking at Finn who shook his head.
'Nope. Not since yesterday' Finn said, before remembering this morning. 'Oh, they gave her medicine to bring her round' Finn said, looking at Leroy and Hiram.
'Good. That's good. The house has been too quiet without her around' Leroy said making Finn and Hiram laugh and smile. 'Don't tell her that' he added as an after thought.
'She probably heard you' Finn joked, smiling. Just then, he felt movement in his hand. He looked down and looked at her hand.
'Finn? What wrong?' Leroy asked, instantly getting worried. Finn didn't answer. He looked from Rachel to her hand, to Rachel again.
'Rachel? Can you hear me?' Finn asked 'Move your hand if you can hear me!' he said, quickly moving his gaze to her hand. Her finger moved just a fraction of an inch, but Finn caught the movement.
'Finn, what is happening?' demanded Hiram
'Her fingers moving!' Finn said, trying not to get his hopes up...
It was at least another hour before they got anymore sign of movement from Rachel. Finn was explaining to Leroy and Hiram about his future, when Finn felt movement in his hand. He stopped talking and looked down at his hand, then up at Rachel.
'Rach? Can you hear me?' he asked. He felt the flicker of her hand again and stood up. 'Rach, come on. Try and open your eyes for me!' Finn continued to plead. He felt more movement in his hand and then saw the flicker of eyelid moving. 'Come on, Rachel!' he said. Hiram nudged Leroy to go get a Doctor, while Finn brought her round. A choking sound sounded through the air, as Rachel's senses went on high alert. She started to panic and gripped the breathing tube that was helping her breath, trying to pull it.
'Rach, calm down! Calm down, your going to hurt yourself!' Finn shouted, trying to block out the noise Rachel was making. Just then, Finn found himself being dragged backwards as the nurse and doctor from earlier, helped Rachel calm down and disconnected some of the equipment. Once they had checked her over and taken notes, they left the room.
'Finn!' she whispered, her throat felt like sandpaper. Finn moved then, going back to his chair.
'Hey baby!' he said, his voice full of emotion, his thumbs stroking both of her cheeks. Rachel's hands wrapped round Finn's wrist and smiled.
'Hey' she whispered, tears escaping down her cheeks
'Don't cry, babe, It's okay' he reassured her, hearing the door close behind him, knowing Leroy and Hiram were giving them some space.
'Sorry. I'm just happy. Happy that you were here. All the time and never moved' Rachel whispered, clearing her throat. Finn looked round the room, spotting the water and a cup. He gently let go of Rachel and poured her a drink.
'If there were any straw, it'd be better. I don't want to hurt you' Finn said, making Rachel smile.
'Put the drink down' she said, watching as he did. She moved slowly to the side of her bed, patting the space next to her. 'Lie down with me' she whispered, coughing.
'You sure? I don't want to hurt you' Finn repeated, making Rachel nod. Finn gently laid down on the bed, gently pulling Rachel so she was propped on his chest.
'Much better' she rasped. Finn grabbed the water and helped her drink it, supporting the cup for her as she was still coming round. Once she had drunk a few mouthfuls, she gently pushed the cup away and cleared her throat.
'You okay?' Finn asked, setting the water down on the cabinet and wrapping his arms round her.
'Yeah... I'm sorry for scaring you, when I... you know...' Rachel trailed off, not needing to complete the sentence.
'You don't have to apologize. You're here with me now. It's fine' Finn said, his lips grazing her head, as he felt content for the fist time in three weeks...
'So, how is Blaine?' asked Carole, as she, Burt and Kurt sat round the table, that evening. Kurt nodded, as he chewed his food.
'He's good. He says hi' Kurt answered his step mother's question, after he had swallowed his food. Carole smiled and took a sip of her red wine. Just then, the front door opened and Finn walked in, humming happily.
'Evening family! What's for tea?' he asked, as his stomach growled. Carole looked slightly shocked at Finn's sudden reappearance, but pointed to the microwave where a plate was covered in tin foil for him. He took the tin foil off and warmed the plate up, before sitting down and started eating, pausing as he saw everyone looking at him.
'What?' he asked, through a mouthful of food, making his Mom scowl.
'What are you doing here?' Kurt asked. Finn raised an eyebrow.
'I live here, don't I? Or have you rent my room out?' Finn asked sarcastically. Kurt rolled his eyes and Finn sighed and swallowed his food.
'Rachel woke up, finally. She sent me home because she found out I haven't been eating or taking care of myself properly' Finn said, as he took a drink from his cup of water. Kurt snorted quietly.
'Karma' Kurt muttered, popping a potato in his mouth, making Finn glare at him.
'Shut up' he retaliated. Kurt opened his mouth, but Carole cut across him.
'Okay, no arguing please!' she said, making peace between the boys, before turning to Finn. 'How is Rachel?' she asked.
'She's okay. She's spending some times with her Dads, so she's in good hands' Finn replied, eating some more food, making Carole smile.
'I'm glad. Now, will we see more of you now, that Rachel is awake?' Carole asked her son, who chuckled.
'Yes, you will' he said, smiling at her. Carole smiled at her son, seeing the light back in his eyes that Rachel always brought...
