I felt kinda inspired today, nothing on TV. Saw a interview with Cory form the Style Awards, he gave me a little hope for a Finchel reunion, even if we have to suffer through a bunch of drama first. Not sure how many more part this will be maybe one or two we'll see where the next part goes. I don't really have a plan, this is already longer than I originally expected.
As Always I own nothing, don't sure. Enjoy! Read and Review, reviews make me smile and motivate me to write.
The Big Show - Chapter 6
Monday Morning - Finn's POV
I can't sleep, it's early the sun is only just starting to rise. I can see the pale blue starting to tinge the sky through my window. Rachel is curled into me, our legs entwined, her hand resting on my chest. I hear someone moving around, but I don't want to move yet. Suddenly there is a quiet knock at my bedroom door, and my mom pokes her head in. I can see the surprise in her eyes at seeing the tiny brunette in my bed, as her gaze meets mine.
"Finn, kitchen now!" she says firmly but quietly.
I slowly disentangle her limbs from mine, she moans quietly snuggling deeper under the covers. I pull on my sweats, leaning over I press a kiss to her forehead before slipping quietly from the room.
Mom is fussing with the coffee maker when I walk in. I just stand there, waiting for her to say something. She turns to me, running a hand through her hair I can see the questions racing in her mind.
"Morning." I say trying, to pretend this is just like any other morning.
"Uh? Morning? Finn would you mind explaining why your girlfriend is asleep in your bed when you know the rules about no over nights? I know you're going to live together in the fall and I'm not stupid enough to believe you'll be sleeping in separate rooms, I know you've been having sex for more than a year now."
I feel my eyes go wide and a blush burn my cheeks at my mothers acknowledgement of our extracurricular activities. I try to think of the best way to tell her.
"She's not my girlfriend." I say simply, placing my hands on the kitchen island in front of me, the ring I'm planning on wearing for the remainder of my life clinking slightly against the marble.
I watch her eyes go from my face, to my left hand and back up to my eyes. She's waiting for an explanation.
"We eloped, it wasn't planned. I know we're young, but we love each other and we want to spend the rest of our lives together. Nothings changed, we're still going to school, she just has my last name now too."
"She's pregnant isn't she?" my mom asks her voice cracking.
"NO!" I say a little too loudly. "Why is that the first thing anyone asks us."
She just raises an eyebrow at me, suggesting that perhaps I know the answer to that question. Afterall we're not the best at keeping our hands to ourselves. After the mess junior year christmas left us both devastated, we both took some time, cooled down. We talked, had a few more blow out fights, but finally we made it back to each other stronger than ever.
"Who else knows about this?" she asks, hurt in her eyes that she wasn't the first to find out.
"Just her Dad's. They didn't take it well, so we could really use your support in this."
"What about your team-mates? Kurt?" she asks.
"They don't know, we wanted to tell you and her Dad's first." I explain.
"Well, I can't say I'm pleased with this news. You know how much I love Rachel, and I always knew she'd be a Hudson someday, I just wasn't expecting it to be today. But you're both adults, so I guess I have no choice but to support this." she smiles softly at me.
"Thanks Mom." I say pulling her into a hug. She moves to fix her coffee, her back turned to me.
"Mom?" I ask nervously.
"Yes Finn?"
"I want to ask you for something. Do you think that maybe I could give Rachel Dad's ring, the one he gave you. I couldn't afford a proper ring for her and I want her to have something that shows her how special she is to me."
"I think that would be a wonderful idea, I'll go to the bank later today and get it for you."
"Can I ask you something else?"
"You know you can ask me anything Finn."
I blush crimson, I can feel the heat coming of my face, I can't believe I'm going to ask my mother this. "Umm... how did you know that Rachel and I, that we were, you know?"
She laughs, looking at me over her coffee cup, while I stand there blushing.
"I figured it out when you started doing your own sheets." she says.
"Oh. Sorry I didn't tell you." I say still blushing.
"It's alright, We all see how you two look at each other, touch each other, a blind man would have known. You may not know this but what you two have is very special, never let go of it." She says touching my arm.
I hear Rachel clear her throat from behind me. I turn and look, she's in her own sweats, fuzzy socks on her feet.
"Hi." she says shyly, wringing her hands together.
Mom just walks over to her giving her a big hug. "Good Morning Sweetheart. Welcome to the family."
She smiles at me over Mom's shoulder, I grin at her.
"Finn told you?" she asks.
"He did." Mom simply says, releasing her. "So you two had quite the weekend. A second championship, and a wedding. You'll have to tell me all about it."
"We will Mom." I say pulling Rachel into my arms, hugging her close to me.
"I guess if you two will be living here until fall I should see about making some room for you somewhere." Mom says making a quick exit, I know she's going to tell Burt about this, while giving us a few moments alone.
"So how'd it go?" she asks, looking up at me.
"Well she's not super stoked, but she's supporting us in our decision." I drop a kiss on her lips, deepening it when she starts to respond. I pull away and chuckle softly.
"What?"
"She knows we've been having sex. I was mortified." I say tucking her hair behind her ears.
"Oh god." she cries burring her head in my chest. I just hug her closer.
She starts to giggle against my chest. I silence her with more kisses, we're getting pretty into it when Kurt comes flying in.
"What the hell!" he says, surprised to find us kissing in the kitchen. Her fingers are in my hair, I have one hand on her butt, the other is snaking it's way under her top. We pull apart looking guilty.
"So, what's going on here?" he asks eyeing us suspiciously.
"Well, Rachel's and her Dad's had a disagreement last night, so she stayed here." I explain vaguely.
"I see, what did you guys fight about?" he asks.
"Well, Dad and Daddy don't seem to agree with my decision to marry Finn." She says, smiling brightly at my step-brother.
He just stands there, his mouth hanging open.
"Married?" he finally manages to get out.
"Mmm... Hmm..." I say, smiling down at Rachel.
"Married!" he says again.
"Yup, married." she says smiling even bigger.
Kurt rips Rachel out of my arms, hugging her tightly, and spinning them around.
She just giggles as he jumps around with her in his embrace squealing.
"How? When?" He asks. I forget how close they really are sometimes because of how fiercely they compete over songs in glee club. They bonded the semester Kurt was at Dalton, he helped her so much in the weeks we were separated, it was nice knowing that while I worked my own things out she had someone she could depend on to be there for her.
"Friday night, Finn suggested it and I took him up on his offer. Like I'd ever let him get away with suggesting we elope and not marry him on the spot." she says, her brown eyes sparkling.
"Everyone is going to flip! We all knew it was coming but no one expected this. OH, you have to let me throw you guys a party!" he exclaims.
I pour three cups of coffee, handing one to Rachel and one to Kurt while they giggle over at the counter, Kurt whispers something into her ear and she blushes looking at me from beneath her eyelashes.
"I'm going to go grab a shower. I don't think I like the direction this conversation is heading." I say kissing her quickly, carrying my coffee with me.
I grab my shaving kit from my bag in my room and head for the shower, I pull on jeans and my usual tee shirt with a plaid shirt over top, I return to the kitchen. Rachel is no where in sight, but Mom, Kurt and Burt are sitting around the table talking.
"So, our little family is one lager today huh?" Burt says smiling at me.
"Yeah, about that. Are you guys ok with us staying here until August. If you're not just say so and we'll try to figure something else out." I say scratching my neck.
"I insist, that girl practically lives here as it is, and she eats like a bird so it's not like it's any extra effort. Now she'll just sleep here too." Burt says.
We fall into a comfortable conversation, talking about Nationals. How amazing it was, Kurt describes how beautiful Vegas is, I don't really comment on that. We didn't really see much outside of our hotel room and the convention center.
"Wait, I thought Rachel roomed with Quinn, and you we're with Sam. Oh..." Kurt says, before the truth dawns on him. "You switched rooms! Mr. Schue will kill you when he finds out."
"Kinda not my problem. Sam and Quinn however, well that's another story since I was rooming with my wife. It's totally legal." I say.
They all look at me when I say the word wife, I just feel a dopey grin form on my face.
"Aww..." Kurt coos at me.
"Shut up, she makes me happy you know this." I shove my brother playfully.
"I know, I just like to tease you about it." He says.
"Well I need to get to the shop, Carol you want a ride?" Burt says standing up from the table.
"That would be great. See you boys later." Mom says kissing us both quickly following Burt out to his truck.
Rachel comes in a few minutes later, dressed in a cute dress and sweater ready for school.
"Hi Babe." I say pulling her into my lap.
"So I'll need to swing by the office before glee today." she says.
"Oh yeah? What for?" I ask.
"Well I want to talk to them about a couple of things. Graduation stuff." she explains.
"OK, Kurt you want a ride with us?" I ask.
"Thanks but I'm picking Mercedes up this morning, can I tell her?"
"No, you can not tell her. We want to tell everyone else during glee." she says indignantly.
"Fine!" he say laughing "But I'm still planning a huge party for you guys."
"Alright, we'll see you later then." I say. I grab my backpack from beside the door, classes this week are just a formality we all took our exams last week. There's nothing left to learn but we're expected to be present, all that's left is glee practice for the graduation ceremony.
We get to school a few minutes later, I walk her to her locker so she can grab her song book for Glee, I wrap my arm around her shoulders before leading her towards the main office, so she can talk to Ms. Pillsbury about graduation. With one final kiss I leave her to talk to our guidance councilor, I can't help but feel she's up to something. I guess I'll find out later, she never leaves me out of the loop for long. We promised no secrets when we got back together, and we meant it.
