Here's the next chapter! I like it but I'm not too fond of it, like I am with the other two. I had to re upload this because I didn't add the lyrics in before.
So the last glee episode was amazing! I cried when Rachel sang Without You and also when Finn proposed to her! By far one of my favorite Finchel episodes yet!
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT: AUDREY, BRENNA, NATE, AND DOCTOR MARTIN!
Rachel and Audrey were sitting down patiently, waiting to be called in. It was Audrey's yearly check up and Rachel managed to get some time off to take her. Audrey never hated going to the doctors but she did not love it either.
They had been waiting a while because there were a large amount of kids and parents waiting as well. "Mommy can you read me a book?" Audrey asked. Rachel had been texting someone intently for a good amount of time.
"One second Audrey, I just have to answer this one message."
She sighed, "You're always on your phone."
Rachel finished the message and put her phone away. "There, now I'm all yours. What do you want me to read?"
Audrey reached over to one of the many side tables in the waiting room and pulled a random book into her grasp. She handed it to Rachel who began to read it quietly so that she would not disturb the other people in the room.
Rachel had finished the book just in time before Audrey was called in, "Audrey Hudson?" the nurse announced.
"That's you," said Rachel, putting the book back down.
Audrey hopped off her seat and walked up to the nurse and Rachel followed behind. They went into a smaller room so that Audrey could be weighed and measured for her height. After Audrey took off her shoes, she stepped up onto the scale. The nurse marked down her weight and continued, "Okay Audrey stand nice and tall for me."
Audrey propped herself up, stood on her tippy toes, and smiled. The nurse chuckled, "No tippy toes Audrey."
Rachel laughed at the sight of her daughter striving to be taller. Audrey went back to her actual height and the nurse continued with the procedure.
Once they were in the room they waited for the doctor to come in. "Hello Audrey!" said the cheerful woman walking into the room.
"Hi Doctor Martin!"
"Hello Rachel, by the way thanks for getting my daughter and I those thickets for your show. You were amazing."
"Thanks, it was no problem."
Audrey's check up was a breeze, but she wasn't ready to leave yet. "Well Audrey you are a perfectly healthy five year old," said Doctor Martin.
"Five and a half, almost six," Audrey corrected.
Doctor Martin chuckled, "Oh and one more thing, Audrey needs a shot today, just one of those annual things. I'll be right back."
When doctor Martin left Audrey looked right to Rachel as a plea for help, "Mommy I have to get a shot?"
Audrey wasn't the best when it came to shots, ever since she was a baby she would cry. "Audrey it will be over before you know it," Rachel assured her.
"But it's gonna hurt!"
Doctor Martin came back with a small, thin tray in her hand with the shot placed on top of it. "Mommy I wanna sit in your lap," she requested.
"Come here," said Rachel with her arms out. Audrey reached for them and Rachel pulled Audrey towards her. Audrey hid her face in the crook of Rachel's neck and held onto her closely.
"You're only going to feel a little pinch Audrey."
"No no, I'm not ready yet," said Audrey as she started to cry.
"Audrey baby," said Rachel, trying to get Audrey's attention.
"Yeah?"
Rachel smiled, "Want me to sing a little to you?"
Audrey nodded and went back to original position on Rachel's lap. Rachel nodded to Doctor Martin letting her know that it was okay to give Audrey the shot as soon as she started singing.
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
"Is it over?" Audrey asked as Rachel finished short the song.
"Yep you're all done!"

"Audrey, wake up. First day of first grade," said Finn, entering her room.
"I don't feel like going," Audrey complained, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Come on Audrey, you love school. Plus you'll get to see Brenna and she's in your class again this year."
"Okay…" said Audrey, getting out of bed, and walking out of her room with Finn following behind.
After eating breakfast, brushing her teeth, and putting on her uniform Audrey was just about ready to leave. "Now are you going to be a big girl when mommy and I drop you off?"
Audrey nodded, last year Audrey cried her eyes out not wanting to leave Finn and Rachel on the first day of kindergarten. Finn tried to put on Audrey's headband for her. "No daddy you're doing it wrong."
"Isn't that how you put on a headband?"
"Yes, but I like it a certain way. Don't just put it on my head, push my hair back with it."
Finn tried again hoping for success, "Did I do it right this time?"
"Yep, good job daddy!" said Audrey, holding up her hand for a high-five.
Finn chuckled, giving her the high-five noticing Rachel walking towards them. "I hope I'll make some new friends!" said Audrey.
"Of course you will, who wouldn't want to be friends with you?" said Finn.
"You're sweet, kind, caring, and adorable," said Rachel tapping Audrey's nose, making her giggle.
"Okay we need the first day of school picture," said Rachel grabbing her camera. Audrey grabbed her pink butterfly backpack and stood still for the picture. Audrey smiled big, revealing that a few of her teeth were missing. Being almost six she had already started losing some of her baby teeth.
It wasn't long before the three of them were out the door.

Audrey held both Finn and Rachel's hands, walking between them when they approached Audrey's school. They walked into the busy school; kids were running around with their parents, trying to find their right class. It was one of the best elementary schools in New York City. "So remember, daddy's going to be outside of the school at the end of the day to pick you up, just like last year," said Rachel, kneeling down to Audrey's level.
"Okay mommy."
"And pay attention to your teacher and listen to her. Be nice to your other classmates and…"
"Have fun," Finn chimed in, ending Rachel's long list of what and what not to do.
"Yeah what daddy said."
"Okay mommy, bye!" said Audrey giving her a hug, "I love you."
Rachel smiled, holding Audrey in her embrace, "I love you too sweetheart."
Audrey then went to Finn, he lifted her up and placed a kiss on her cheek. Audrey laughed, "Bye daddy!"
"Bye, have a good day today."
"I will," said Audrey as Finn put her back down.
"Audrey!" a small voice called out. Audrey turned around to see Brenna waving to her.
"Brenna!" said Audrey running over to her best friend. The girls walked into the classroom together hand in hand.
Finn looked down at Rachel, "Hey, are you okay?"
Rachel held back her tears and Finn put her arm around her, "Yeah I'm fine."
Finn and Rachel both walked down the now, clear hallway together, "It's only the first grade Rach. She still has a long way to go."
"Yeah I know."
When they exited the school and entered back out to the busy New York streets, Rachel spoke up again, "Oh shit, I'm going to be late for my rehearsal."
"Well you better get going then," Finn insisted.
Rachel kissed him, "Bye, love you."
Finn smiled, "Love you too."
Rachel pulled away and waved her hand for a taxi, "Hopefully I won't be home too late. Let me know how her first day went."
"I will."
She opened the taxi door, got in, and shut it. Rachel looked at Finn out the window and smiled as she left.

That afternoon Blaine and Kurt came over and Audrey went on and on about her first day. "Oh and daddy, I made a new friend today!"
"Who?"
"His name is Nathan; we call him Nate for short. He's really nice daddy."
Finn shot Kurt and Blaine a look, "And so it begins," said Kurt.
"What?" Audrey asked, looking at the three of them.
"He's just your friend?" Finn asked his daughter.
"Yeah daddy of course!"
"No hugs right? Or kisses?"
"Daddy we just became friends today! Don't get ahead of yourself," said Audrey, sounding much like Rachel.
Blaine and Kurt started to laugh, "Yeah Finn, I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"You never know," said Finn.
"Oh and my teacher Mrs. Williamson said that my school is putting on a musical and it's The Wizard of Oz! I want to play Dorothy and Brenna wants to play Glinda!"
"There's no doubt you would get the part of Dorothy. It's in your blood," said Kurt.
"What does that mean Uncle Kurt?" Audrey asked.
"Well your mommy is on Broadway isn't she?"
"Of course I know that," said Audrey.
" Then that means that you are destined to get the part of Dorothy because your mommy acts too."
"Oh okay, I get it now," Audrey agreed, "And I have to sing a little to see if I can play Dorothy!"
"That's awesome Audrey," said Finn. Audrey continued watching TV not focusing on the conversation anymore.
"Has Audrey sung at all?" Blaine asked Finn.
"Just little parts of songs here and there, but not a full song."
"She'll probably sound amazing, you're a great singer, and Rachel is amazingly talented in every way," said Kurt.
"Hey daddy?" Audrey asked, turning back towards Finn.
"Yeah?"
"When's mommy coming home?"
"Soon."
I hope this was giving you all a look towards how much Rachel is away from Audrey and Finn.
Does everyone remember Brenna from the first Audrey Hudson story? Yep she's back!
Next Chapter: It's Audrey's 6th birthday and Finn and Rachel throw a party for her : )
