Chapter 4: The Daddies
Wednesday Morning at the Hudson House
Finn POV
Waking up to Rachel will never get old. I open my eyes to find my tiny love, but when I reach out she's not there. I hear her in the bathroom. I jump up to find her hunched over the toilet emptying the nothingness in her belly.
"Oh, baby I'm so sorry you have to go through this." I tell her, drawing circles on her back while holding her hair.
"It my fault too, we are in this together remember." she reassures me. She is all kinds of awesome. I love her so much.
"I love you Rach."
"I love you too." she tells me.
"I think I'm finished. I'm jumping in the shower." she winks at me.
"I could use a shower." I look at her hoping she'd invite me into her shower.
"No, you're moms down stairs. She said not when she's in the house. Now go and tell her about crazy Quinn and her threats." Rachel stands on her tip toes and kisses me on the mouth. I squeeze her ass and leave to find some sweats.
I find my mom in the kitchen making breakfast. "Morning Mom."
"Good Morning Finn, Rachel up?"
"She's in the shower. I have to tell you something. Quinn's pregnant."
"FINN CHRISTOPHER HUDSON, TWO GIRLS YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME." Mom can be pretty scary when she wants to be, I haven't seen her this mad since Puck and me put a PB & J in the VCR.
"Mom, it's not mine." I promise her.
"Then why are you telling me. Why do I care if that girl is pregnant?"
"She's trying to say it's mine. Even though I never had sex with her. She told me that…..god this is embarrassing."
"Finn tell me" mom is getting annoyed
"She said that the time we were in her parent's hot tub and I got a little too excited and you know. That the doctor told her it's the perfect temperature for sperm. But we had our swimsuits on. She really thinks I'm an idiot." I recount the story Quinn told me.
My mom did something very much unexpected. She burst into a fit of laughter. "She… What? Does she think…?" Then I could see she was getting very angry.
"Does she think I raised a boy who doesn't know how babies are made? How could someone lie about something so important? Do you know who the father is Finn?" She rants
"Puck, he's the one that told me she was going to try and pin it on me."
"Puck, your best friend Puck?"
"Yep, But it's okay mom, I didn't really love Quinn and I did kind of cheat on her with Rachel." I explain.
"You kids are giving me whiplash. You know it's not okay to cheat right?" she asks
"I know mom, but Rachel, there's something about her. I can't help myself. She like a magnet. The first time I heard her sing, that was it for me mom. I knew I loved her and would do anything to be with her. That's why I broke up with Quinn. I love Rachel." I tell her.
"You really feel that way?" Mom and I both snap our heads to the small girl with a big voice and see her ready for school.
"Of course." I declare to her. "You're it for me. I know we are still in high school, but I can't picture anyone else with me, sharing my life with than you."
I wipe some tears that had fallen and scoop her up in to a hug.
"I love you Finn."Rachel says "Me too baby." I tell her dropping a quick kiss to her lips.
"Okay, so Quinn. We know it's not your baby so there really isn't anything to do. Puckerman has to handle it. Did he tell his mom?" My mom questions both of us.
"He told me and Rach but I don't know if he told Ruth" Ruth is Puck's mom. She's also a good friend to my mom.
"You have to get him to tell his mom, Finn. He's your best friend and he'll listen to you. We've got enough to deal with without getting in the middle of that fiasco." mom says.
Rach and I both nod our heads.
"I will. I'm going to jump in the shower and get ready for school." I hug my mom and kiss Rachel on the temple and head off to the shower.
Rachel's POV
Carole is the best mom in the whole world. Finn is so lucky she's his mom. I don't even know what my mother looks like. Sometimes I get scared that I won't know how to be a mom. Finn tells me that I can just watch his mom and learn everything I need. He's right Carole is the best.
I finished my eggs and sausage and clear the table. I load the dishwasher and turn to find Carole just looking at me.
"Did I do something wrong?" I inquire
"No sweetie, you did everything right." Carole says hugging me. She always know when I need a mother.
"It's going to be okay. You know I didn't know what I was doing when I had Finn. Six months after he was born I was burying my husband and I've been a single mom since. You have Finn and me. Finn is not going anywhere. I raised my son to take care of his responsibilities. You can count on that. I will help you every step of the way. I promise."
"Thank you. I am very insecure about being a mom. I mean I'm so young and I never had a mom." I try to explain but get choked up.
"Rachel, you don't need to have had a mom. No one knows how to be a mom. It's a learning process. I can't tell you how to be a mom, but I can offer you advice and be there for my grandbaby."
"Thank you Carole. That means the world to me." I tell her giving her a warm hug. Finn finally finishes getting ready and we are off to another exciting day of education.
Wednesday Detention
NO POV
Rachel walks in the room and just as she expected the usually suspect are there. The guy who's always smoking pot on the quad, the girl who is constantly tardy. Puck, for undoubtedly throwing someone in the dumpster. And to her dismay Santana Lopez. Rachel takes her seat in front so she doesn't have to see Santana or hear her snide comments.
"Hey stubbles" Santana says trying to goad Rachel. Rachel ignores her like she promised Mr. Shue and Carole.
"I said Hey stubbles!" she says again and Rachel ignores her.
"That's okay you don't need to look at me to hear what I have to say. I'm going to lay some knowledge on you. Quinn's preggers and the baby daddy is none other than your Pillsbury dough boy Finn." Santana sneers.
Rachel laughs looking over her shoulder at Puck who is sitting there with his jaw opened.
"What are you laughing at dwarf? Quinn is having Finn's baby and Finn will be dumping you for Q any day now. We all know how Finn is, he'd never leave his baby." She is trying so hard to get Rachel to get mad, but she doesn't know that Rachel knows the truth and Rachel doubts Quinn told Santana the truth. If one thing she knows Santana does not like to be made to look like a fool.
"Well that's funny, because I know for a fact that I'm the only one Finn has ever had sex with. You can't get pregnant in your bathing suit in a hot tub. First there has to be penetration which there was none and second the temperature of the hot tub would kill any sperm that may have floated out of Finn because the mailman didn't work." Rachel states smugly and turns to face the front.
She hears Puck laughing and Santana huffing.
"How do you know they never had sex?" Santana asks Rachel.
"Because I was his first and he broke up with her the day after and we've been fucking like rabbits since." Rachel turns and finds Puck's eyes bugged out of his head and Santana with her jaw on the floor.
"Did you just say Fucking?" Puck asks Rachel. "Sure did." Rachel says back. "Damn Berry didn't know you had it in you." Puck squawks.
Santana opens and closes her mouth like she's trying to find something to say. "I'm the father San, I fucked Quinn, took her V-card. She's trying to get Finn back and thought that this would do the trick. But I'm not about to let her ruin his life. She's crazy if she thinks I would. Finn's my best friend. I've got his back." Puck tells Santana.
Santana looks at Puck and knows he's telling the truth. "That bitch! I can't believe she lied to me and let me look like an ass. I'm sorry Rachel, I just assumed because they were dating."
"Well you know what they said about assuming it's not your fault really. Quinn is the liar and you were being a good friend I guess." Rachel voices to Santana.
"No it was me being a bitch. I'm not going to be your best friend or anything but I'm not going to be a bitch to you anymore. We are in glee together and well that's it." Santana states and folds her arms across her chest.
"Fine, truce for glee." Rachel says. "Also, I'm sorry for slapping you. I don't know what came over me."
"I'm sorry too, is your face okay?" Santana looks where she had slapped Rachel. She could see that Rachel had put cover up on it.
"It's a little black and blue but cover up works well." Rachel smiles.
Finn was finished with football practice and standing outside the detention room waiting for Rachel when Quinn came up to him. Finn rolled his eyes and tried to walk away. Quinn grabbed the back of his jacket to hold him there.
"I've got something to say." Quinn says to Finn
"Well I don't want to hear what you have to say." Finn spits back at her. His word dripping with venom. How could he ever thought he loved this girl? She's standing in front of him but she's a stranger to him.
"You're going to listen. I'm going to get the paternity test and you are going to be sorry that you doubted me." Quinn begins
Finn cuts her off. "I'm going with you. You are not doing it on your own. I do not trust anything that come out of your mouth."
Quinn just stares at him. 'Fuck, what do I to do now?' she thinks to herself. She did not see that one coming. He's not as dumb as she thinks. She needs to think. She turns and storms pass him and runs out to her car.
Finn is still standing there when the door to the detention room opens. Rachel comes out and see him and her smile goes wide. Finn wraps her up in his arms.
"Latter Berry." Santana says to her. Finn looks at Rachel concerned. "What was that?" He asks
We've come to a mutual understanding." she tells the tall boy.
"Puck, can we talk?" Finn motions to Puck.
Puck nods. "What's up?"
"I told my mom about Quinn and her lie. I had to tell her you're the dad. She wants you to tell your mom. I think you need your mom. Dude, she's like my mom. She'll be disappointed at first but she'll support you." Finn relays to his best friend.
"Would you go with me? You and Rachel I mean." Puck asks
"Sure." Finn and Rachel respond.
Telling Puck's mom that Quinn was pregnant and trying to blame Finn was easier than they thought. Ruth took in what they had to say and she was just as understanding as Carole was. But she was pissed that Quinn was trying to keep Puck away from his child. One thing about Mama Puckerman, she was fierce when it came to her family. Ever since Puck's dad abandoned them, she has protected Puck and Hannah and stood by them even when it was obvious that Puck or Hannah had been wrong.
Ruth decided that if Quinn was going to play these games with "her boys" as she called them, she was going straight to the source of the problem. Quinn's parents. The Fabray's were well known in Lima. Russell, Quinn's dad, was a big time defense attorney with his own practice and a well know anti-Semite. Judy Fabray was an alcoholic mom who used her drinking to distract from the fact that her husband was a philandering piece of shit. Ruth figured Quinn thought if she said Finn was the dad, he wasn't Jewish, her parents might not take so hard. But Ruth wasn't having it. Noah may be a lot of things but she raised him to take care of his family.
When the kids were done talking to Ruth, she and Puck said goodbye to Rachel and Finn and headed to Dudley Road and the Fabray House.
*Ding Dong* Quinn heard the doorbell and look to her mom who was putting the finishing touches on dinner. Judy grab the towel and headed to the door.
"May I help you?" she asked
"Yes, you may. I'm Ruth Puckerman and this is my son Noah. We've come to talk to you and your daughter."
"Well she's just inside doing her homework. Wont' you come in? Russell we have guest." Judy yelled for her husband.
"What is it dear? CNN and Wolf Blitzer is on." Russell say staggering out of the den.
"This Ruth Puckerman and her son Noah. They'd like to speak to us and Quinn." Judy explains
"Quinny come in here please!" Judy yells for Quinn.
"Yes mom what, Puck what are you doing here?" she looks like she's going to throw up.
"MY mom wants to discuss the…"
"Puck please don't', Quinn interrupts him and before either can say anything else Russell ushers them into the living room.
The Puckerman's on one side the Fabray's on the other.
"So Ruth is it?" Ruth nods and Russell continues "what is it that we need to discuss?" Ruth begins
"I don't know if Quinn has secrets from you but Noah and I have a full disclosure policy. He tells me everything. I'm sorry to spring this on you and Quinn, dear, you really should have told them yourself. But I can't let you do what you're trying to do to Noah or to Finn."
"What's going on Quinn?" Judy asks and Quinn can only cry. "Do you want me to say it or do you Quinn.?" Puck asks her. Quinn stays quiet.
"Mr. and Mrs. Fabray, I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen it just did, and I'm sorry. But I'm not a dead beat, I'm going to take care of it. Quinn's pregnant and I'm the father." Puck says and Russell jumps up off the sofa.
"WHAT THE HELL! QUINN SAY IT ISN'T SO. PREGNANT WITH A JEW!"
"You're more upset that my son is Jewish than you are that they are going to have a baby." Ruth yells at Russell.
Quinn just continues to cry.
"What does Finn have to do with this? Quinn, you broke up months ago." Judy trying to understand
"Well, your daughter thought that I'd be a good idea to tell Finn it was his baby even though they never had sex. She thought that Finn would be stupid enough not to know how babies were made. She went so far as to tell him today that she'd get a paternity test thinking he'd back off. But he didn't because Finn is smarter than anyone really knows." Ruth explains
"OH, Quinny. You not only ruined your life you were going to ruin the lives of two boys and that baby. Who are you? I don't even know my own daughter?" Judy says standing to get away from Quinn.
"You need to get out." Russell says
"Ok we are going, but I will not let you keep Noah from his baby. I know some fancy attorneys too, Mr. Fabray. This isn't over." Ruth says
"I was talking to her."Russell says pointing at Quinn. "You have 30 minutes to pack and get out of my house. I've raised you better than to get pregnant and lie about it. I don't care where you go, you just can't stay here." Russell tells his daughter and leaves.
Judy doesn't' say anything but stands there. "I need my mom." Quinn says sheepishly. "I'm sorry I'm a disappointment, I'm sorry I lied, but I need my mom." Judy starts toward Quinn, to put her hand on her daughter's shoulder, but pulls away and walks out of the room.
Quinn breaks down and Puck goes and wraps her up in a hug. "I'm so sorry Puck, I was scared. I didn't know what else to do."
"We both know that's not why you did what you did, but we can't change it. We can only fix it. No more lying. Finn doesn't deserve that and neither do I." Puck says.
"Noah, go help her pack her things. I'll get your school work. You are coming with us and we will figure it out okay." Ruth says and Quinn and Puck go to pack her stuff, when suddenly Quinn turns and hugs Ruth. "Thank you Mrs. Puckerman."
"You're welcome. Let's get to getting."
Puck texts Finn the cliff notes of what happened and told him they'd see them at school tomorrow. Well Finn and Rachel had other things going on tomorrow to be worried about Quinn and her drama. Rachel's dads were coming for dinner and they'd be telling them the truth about Rachel's pregnancy. They only hoped her dads would take it better than the Fabrays.
Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Shue had let Rachel out of detention today to get ready for the dinner at the Hudson house with her dads. Rachel knew her dads and they were not going to be happy. She expected them to act like the Fabrays had. But at least she had Carole and she was supporting her and Finn's decision to keep their baby.
"Finn, does your mom want us to start dinner?" Rachel asks
"She said your dads wouldn't be here until later like seven so she would have time when she got home at 5:30." Finn tells her moving to stand beside her. Wrapping his long arms around her he dropped a kiss along her neck line. Moving his hand to her side and caressing her arm up and down.
"Mmm" Rachel mumbled. Finn picked her up and carried her upstairs to the bedroom they have been sharing since they told his mom about the baby.
"You're so beautiful" Finn tells her placing her on the bed. He pulls her sweater over her head leaving her in her white bra. He unzips her skirt and pulls it down her legs. Yep white panties to match the bra. He lays atop her and kisses her. He worships every inch of her torso. He reaches behind and unclasp her bra airing her bare breast before him. Finn pleasures her right breast in his hand, then takes the left into his mouth. He nips at the perking mound. Taking her nipple between his teeth earning a moan from his girl. He smiles on her boob and switches his hand and mouth to lave the other one. He moves down her belly stopping at her abdomen. Gently placing kisses along the width of her belly whispering love for his child.
"You're wearing too many clothes Finn." Rachel manages to say between moans. Finn get up and sheds his clothes. Standing before her naked, Rachel takes him in.
"You are so sexy" she tells him. He pulls her panties down and now they are even. Once more Finn hovers over her. His erections straining. She reaches her tiny hand to envelope his cock and slides her hand up and down the shaft. "Fuck" he moans.
Rachel giggles because fuck is Finn favorite word when they are like this. "You know you can fuck me if you want?" she tells him "Oh, I want to" Finn responds diving into her center. He pushes in and says I love you. Rachel gasps and takes in his length. He hits her spot immediately and she is soaring high. Finn pumps into her hitting that spot over and over. "Finn I'm about to" and she cums. He feels her slickness coating him and he thrust to reach his own release. "FUCK" he grunts and shoots into her core.
He falls onto his elbows to hold himself from crushing her. He continues to move within her and looks at her "I love you so much." he says.
"I love you too" she imparts.
Finn is hard again and is thrusting slowly. Rachel is moaning and she clawing at his back trying to get him closer. Finn is pushing and pulling and thrusting faster and deeper when they reach their second climax of the afternoon. The sweat is glistening off both of their bodies and Finn rolls over off of Rachel and pulls her to him. She yawns and closes her eyes. She sleeping within seconds and Finn follows. They have a long evening and a nap would serve them well.
It's 6 o'clock when Rachel wakes up. "Finn, Finn wake up. We have to get ready." She shakes him. "Mrmmph" Finn grunts. "Wake up!" Rachel yells.
"I'm up, I'm up." he says. They get into the shower and clean themselves. Dress and go to find Carole.
"Well afternoon sleepy heads." she greets the couple
"Sorry, baby makes me tired." Rachel says
"I can sleep whenever." Finn laughs.
"Uh hu, that's it." Carole giggles under her breath.
The have everything ready when the doorbell rings. Finn and Rachel go to answer the door.
"Dad, Daddy I'm so happy to see you. I missed you." Rachel gives them a huge smile and hugs.
"We missed you too star." Daddy Hiram says. "Good to see you again son." Motioning toward Finn to shake his hand.
"Sir, nice to see you. Please come in meet my mother." Finn says moving to let the Misters Berry inside.
"Finn." Dad Leroy says sternly.
"Sir." Finn responds holding his hand out, but Leroy didn't take it.
"Oh, so what do we have here?" Carole asks walking in to the foyer from the kitchen.
"Carole I'd like you to meet my dads. Dads this is Carole Finn's mom" Rachel introduces them.
"Mrs. Hudson, nice to meet you" Leroy extends his hand and Carole takes it.
"Oh please call me Carole."
"Leroy." Her dad replies
" "Hiram." The other one offers.
"Nice to meet you Hiram. Let's go into the dining room dinners on the table."
Carole leads the daddies and the young couple into the dining room. Somehow Finn feels like he's a lamb going to slaughter. Rachel squeezes his hand. Finn looks down at her and smiles. Dinner is going smoothly. They talk about everything from glee club to Hiram's golf handicap. Once they finished with dinner Carole escorts them all into the family room and gets the coffee.
Handing the Berry's a cup each. Carole sits back and starts
"Hiram and Leroy. I want you to know how much I adore your daughter. She's beautiful, smart and so talented. I know that my son loves her very much."
"Thank you. We always believed she was all of those things. It's nice to see we raised her to be a respectful young girl." Leroy says giving Rachel a smile.
Rachel adverts his eyes and looks at her hand entwined with Finn's.
"What's going on Rachel?" Hiram notices Rachel shift in demeanor. But its Finn would speaks up.
"Mr. and Mr. Berry, I love Rachel and we never planned on this happening, we took every precaution." Even though the hadn't always be so careful, he wasn't going to admit that. "I'm sorry, Rachel's pregnant." Finn ended his speech and looked at his mom who gave him a supportive smile.
Rachel look up at her dads and could see the disappointment in their faces. She couldn't help it, the tears started to fall. Carole got up and engulfed the petite girl in her arms "Shh, it's going to be okay. It will be okay." she says.
Leroy roars "ITS NOT OKAY. How can you sit there and be so calm about this? Your son defiled our baby and now her life is ruined."
"Don't yell at me in my own home. I can sit here and be calm because that is what they need. They know, they made a mistake and it's bad enough without screaming at them. It's happened and there is nothing to be done about it. And if memory serves it takes two people to make a baby. Finn is a fault but so is Rachel. Finn will be there every step of the way with her as will I. You don't get to come into my home and yell." Carole admonishes Leroy.
"Rachel, we raised you right. How could this have happened?" Hiram asks his only daughter.
"It just did. We used protection. It didn't work one time. You know that birth control in any form is never 100%. I'm sorry that I disappointed you. But I'm not sorry about the baby. I mean. I'm sorry but I'm not. I love Finn and he loves me. We are keeping our baby." Rachel says
"Like hell you are." Leroy says
"It's not your decision, its Rachel's and mine." Finn standing to up to be eye to eye with Leroy.
"Son, its best you stay out of this." Leroy threatens Finn.
"Sorry I can't do that. She's my everything and that baby is mine. I'm in it and I love her." Finn not backing down.
Leroy bumps Finn with his chest and Finn does not move. "Okay that's enough of that." Carole says and Hiram reaches up for his husband's hand. Leroy retreats and sits with Hiram.
"I took them to the doctor on Monday and she is definitely pregnant. It's their decision and they have decided to keep their baby. I am more than willing to help them because Hudson's do not turn their backs on anyone. No man left behind." she smiles at Finn because that had always been their motto, because his dad was a Marine. "I will support them as much as I can. Finn will get a job and they both will continue going to school."
"What about college?" Hiram asks.
"Well Mr. Berry, Rachel will go to college if I have to work four jobs to pay for it. I am not going to let this affect her plans or dream. I will be with her and I will take care of her and the baby. I can do it." Finn tells him. Rachel smiles at Finn with so much love.
"You say that now, but when it becomes too much? What then." Leroy probes.
"My kid will never be too much sir, Rachel will never be too much. I love her. She's enough for me." Finn says.
"I wasn't talking about you. Rachel is too good for you. You aren't enough for her." Leroy exclaims and stands up.
"Dad, how can you say that? You don't even know Finn. I love him. He's plenty good enough for me. He loves me and that's all I need." Rachel chastised her dad.
"You are right Mr. Berry. I'm not good enough for her, but I will be. I know I'm young but I can be a man that Rachel deserves. I will prove it to her everyday for the rest of my life, if she lets me. But, sir, Rachel knows what she wants and for some bizarre reason she has chosen to let me love her. And if I can keep convincing her to do that then we will be alright. You don't have to like me. But I am the father of that baby and I'm not going anywhere." Finn looks at his mom.
"My son is a good boy. And any girl would be lucky to have him love her. He chose Rachel and Rachel chose him. So this bull shit of my son not being good enough stops now. He's going to be in her life and there is nothing you can do about it." Carole spits at Leroy.
"I surely can, Rachel you are not to see this boy again and you are giving this baby up for adoption. End of story." Leroy says.
"I won't do it and you can't make me." Rachel says defiantly all the tears cried out.
"I'm your father and I can and you will." Leroy roars back at his daughter.
"NO YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER. HIRAM IS MY FATHER, YOU ARE JUST MARRIED TO HIM!" Rachel yells then realizes what she said and covers her mouth.
Both of the Berry men are taken aback by Rachel's outburst. "How could you know that? We've never told anyone." Hiram says
"I had my own DNA test done. You can do over the internet." Rachel tells them.
"Well it doesn't matter because your father agrees with me, don't you Hiram?" Leroy asks his husband.
"Leroy, you can't make her give up her baby without her consent." Hiram reminds his husband. Hiram is a lawyer he would know.
"She's only 16, we are her parents." Leroy says.
"It doesn't matter. She is the parent of the child she carries. It's her decision and hers alone." Hiram informs Leroy.
"And you are okay with this?" Leroy is stunned Hiram is not more upset.
"No, I'm not but there really isn't anything we can do about it." Hiram says.
"The hell, Rachel if you choose to stay with this boy and have this baby you can no longer be in our family." Leroy states. "I will not condone this and enable you to ruin your life" he continues. "Make a choice Rachel" he finishes.
Rachel looks at him, then to Hiram, who looks ashamed but turns from his daughter. She looks at Finn and his mom, then back to Leroy. "I- I never have hated anyone until right now. I choose Finn and our baby. I choose to take responsibility for my actions. I hate you Leroy Berry. I hate you for making me choose when you should be holding me and telling me everything is going to be alright." With that Rachel runs up to Finn's room and slams the door.
"I think it's time you two leave. This stress is not good for Rachel or the baby." Carole says "Finn, go to Rachel, make sure she's alright." Finn nods leaving his mom and the daddies alone.
"Look, I can't tell you what to do, but you will lose her forever if you don't make this right. You will lose your only grandchild and miss out on what a wonderful woman Rachel is becoming. I said before I will support them and I meant it. Just think about what you're doing and make damn sure that's the right thing to do. You can see your way out." Carole points to the door then goes to the kitchen.
Once outside the house Hiram turns to his husband. "You made this choice without me. I'm not happy about it, but we should have made it together." with that the men drive to their house.
Friday evening:
Finn and Rachel stayed home from school, because Rachel was too distraught and Carole was worried about her and the baby. Carole had just gotten home from work and was starting dinner when the doorbell rang. She opened the door to a surprise.
"Hiram, what are you doing here?" she asks
"I came to give you these and tell you that we will be out of the house tomorrow all day and Rachel can come by and get her things. Have her leave the key and lock the door. She is welcome to keep her vehicle but we will not be paying for her insurance. Thank you Carole and take care of her." Hiram says and returns to his car then leaves.
Carole was stunned. She went back into the house and looked at what Hiram had given her. The first envelope contained a set of papers giving Carole guardianship over Rachel until the baby was born then Rachel would be declared an emancipated minor. The second envelope contained three checks. One for $150,000 for the express use of her college education. The second check was for $50,000 for Carole to use to feed, clothe and house Rachel. And the third check was for another $50,000 for Rachel to use for her wedding or whatever else she wanted or needed.
Carole was floored and kind of blindsided. She knew that she would take care of Rachel, but for her fathers to actually give her up, was something else altogether.
"Rachel, Finn can you come down here please." Carole called up the stairs. She had to tell her now. She's already upset and if she let Rachel get over this hurt only to hurt her again would be wrong.
"Mom." Finn asks.
"Rachel sweetie that was Hiram at the door. He came and gave me this." Carole showed her the papers and the checks. Rachel didn't say anything, she hugged Carole and said thank you, then went back to the bedroom.
"What is it mom?" Finn asked again. "Rachel's dads have given her to me to look after. Once she has the baby she will be an emancipated minor, meaning she will make all of her own choices. And they gave her money. Right now she just needs us to love her. We can do that right?"
"Of course. I'm the best at loving her." Finn says going to be with Rachel.
Finn walks into his, their bedroom finding Rachel on the bed balled up crying. He goes to lay with her pulling her to him. "I'm sorry I did this Rach." he tells her giving her a kiss on the head.
"You didn't. They threw me away like trash. I love you. Thank you for letting me stay with you." Rachel cries into his chest.
"Baby there is no where I'd rather you be."
"Can we sleep?" Rachel pleads. "Sure, babe." Finn turns off the lamp and they fall asleep with him holding her like he'd never let her go.
Saturday came and Finn, Puck and Rachel went to the Berry house to pack up Rachel's bedroom. Finn had already told Puck about the baby. Because Finn wouldn't let Rachel lift anything heavier than a book and he would need help, Puck agreed.
Finn took apart her bed and he and Puck put it in the truck with Rachel's dresser and vanity. Rachel had all her clothes, electronics and her musical posters packed and the boys put those on the truck.
With one last glance she closed her bedroom door. One tear escaped her eyes. She was going to be a mom, and a pseudo wife to Finn, she needed to grow up and grow up quickly, tears over her dads throwing her out were not helpful. She closed the door on her childhood and turn to walk into motherhood.
