D: Daddy
She's been having an absolutely horrible day. Her morning started with a colicky three-month-old, an attention deprived seven-year-old, and an almost four-year-old who had decided his cheerios looked better on the floor.
Once she finally made it to her first rehearsal since maternity leave her co-star had tripped and sprained his ankle which had led to a delay in production and an incredibly bitchy ensemble cast (as well as an annoyed producer and a livid dance instructor). Her thoughts kept straying to Finn who is home alone with all three kids since Cecilia doesn't start third grade until September, and Will's pre-school doesn't start until August.
Between worrying about him dealing with baby Erin, rowdy Will, and jealous Cecilia she had missed her usual bus and ended up having to catch a taxi back home.
So she enters the house in what Finn calls "a mood." She's pretty sure that's how he explains to the kids that she's bitchy without further angering her.
Rachel follows the low murmur of her family into their living room and smiles. Cecilia is curled up on the couch enraptured by a video of New Directions that has been put into the DVD player. Will is sprawled out next to her, his head resting on his sister's tiny thigh, fast asleep, and Finn is sitting on the carpet with his back reclined against the couch gently cooing to a gurgling Erin.
There is something so simplistically wonderful about being able to watch him play with their children.He will sit at the tiny white tea table and converse with Cecilia's teddy bears. He will play catch in the park with Will. He will cradle baby Erin in his too large arms and make the dearest faces. The sight of him surrounded by the children that they have made together nearly moves her to tears, but she settles for a breathy, "Look at you, Daddy," and a smile because this has made her horrible day just a little bit better.
AN: Life is annoying. And right now my emotions are just flailing on me. I love you guys and feedback is love :). Also in my headcannon Finchel have three kids. Cecilia Jane, William Christopher, and Erin Carole.
