So sorry for the late update! School's been busy. Here's another chapter!:)


Chapter 7

The next morning Rachel woke up. She's wrapped around Finn's arms. Usually she'll feel safe in his arms. But today's different.

She's hurt. She's angry at him. She roughly removes his arms off him which caused Finn to wake up. "Hmm..what?" Finn mumbles.

Rachel sat up. "I worried sick about you last night!" She cried angrily.

Finn's eyes aren't even opened. It's too early to argue. "Rachel can you give me a minute?"

"No! I don't want to give you a minute. Can't you see I'm angry? I'm upset? I skipped dinner!"

"No one told you too." Maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to say. He finally woke up when he hears Rachel whimper. "I lost my daughter. I didn't want to lose you!"

Finn sat up. He moves closer to Rachel. "Woah, woah..babe. You didn't lose me, okay? I'm right here." He whispers. No matter what he says, Rachel's still crying. "It's like yesterday you were hiding something from me. Remember when you said we're in this together? Together means you and me, not just you." Rachel continues to cry. "Where did you go? Why were you out so late?" She stares at him desperately looking for answers.

It's not going to be easy... "Detective Jefferson called me after you left our room so upset. He told me why and when I went, she was there. Detective Rivera was with her. I saw Hannah, the very same girl I at McKinley. She um..she um..."

Rachel shivers. "She what, Finn?" She asked shaking.

"There's a black and blue in her eye. We're aware of what happened. Hannah's so afraid of admitting..."

"Why would she be afraid?"

When Rivera finished explaining Hannah's story, Finn became even more furious. He has to get her out of this house-away from the family. "Her parents, or should I say kidnappers have an abusive and alcoholic past. Her father's the hurts her and her mother drinks heavily all night. It got worse one night, the night a neighbor called the police after they heard the yelling, screaming, and crying. We believe her father or the monster laid a hand on our baby girl..."

Images ran through Rachel's mind. How can anyone in the world abuse and hurt her daughter? "Where is she now?"

"She's at the Lima Hospital being checked in. I'm not exactly sure why she's asking for her parents.."

"You mean us?" Rachel asked.

"Angela and Matthew."

"No! They're not her parents! We are! You know that!" Rachel grabbed the blanket and pulled it closer to her. "Why did I leave her? If I took her back inside, she would never be hurt like this! You have every right to be mad at me..." she buries herself under the blanket and starts to cry. Finn let out a sigh. He figured Rachel will need love and comfort but he isn't sure if that's what she wants.


"How am I supposed to act around her?" Sophia took a deep breath after her parents told her about Hannah. After all she, and her parents gone through; there still continuing to fight for justice to keep Hannah safe.

Can she still be safe if she's home? Really home? Sophia's scared of not knowing what to say. She doesn't even want to imagine her parents reactions when found out.

All she wants for them and herself is to put the story behind; to make new memories. How can it happen now?

"You can start off by being one of the nicest person she's ever met. She's going to need a wonderful sister like you." Finn tends to smile.

"What if I slip and ask her about her past?" Sophia asked nervously.

"Sophia! You won't. None of us will. We're here to love her and give her all of our support. In a couple days we're going to break the news to her." Finn responds

"What news?" Rachel and Finn share glances at each other.

"That she was kidnapped.." Finn says with his eyes closed taking in a moment.

"Wouldn't that be all too much for her?"

"She needs to know." Rachel says.

"I'm sorry it happened to Hannah." Sophia apologizes. "I'm sorry for the attitude daddy. I really love you guys."

Sophia realizes how important it is to have parents who done nothing but be there for her.

Unlike her sister, she's had the complete opposite. "We love you too, Sophia." Finn and Rachel say hugging her.


Hannah stayed in her hospital bed over night. The doctors came and went to check on her. She was so confused when she saw police officers, detectives, and even social services came. She isn't sick, she knows that for sure.

So why in the world is she in the hospital for? Her doctor, Doctor Liz came in with Detective Jefferson. "Hannah? Sweetheart? This is Detective Jefferson. He's a really nice guy." Doctor Carol assured her after noticing the girl is afraid of men, due to her family history.

She sat up looking down and not facing Jefferson. "Hi there Hannah." Detective Jefferson says sweetly. "I'm only here to ask you a couple of questions. You can say yes or you can say no."

"Or I can help." Liz interrupts. "She hasn't spoken at all."

Jefferson nods understanding Hannah's situation. "You're sixteen years old?" Hannah nods. She feels nervous and so uncomfortable.

She knows if her father finds out, he won't be happy. "You're parents are Angela and Matthew?"

Hannah nods. "Do you get along with them?" Jefferson waits patiently for a response. Hannah shrugged her shoulders.

"Do you love them?"

And again, there was a shrug. "Have you had fights?"

He was surprised to receive a nod this time. "What kind of fights?" He asked. He decided to move on when Hannah stood still. "Have they hurt you?"

Liz rushed over to rub the young fragile girl's back for comfort. She cried silently.

She's just so, so afraid.


Days passed by. Hannah's released out of the hospital. She didn't know why so many cameras and reporters stayed outside the hospital waiting for her.

Why were they asking questions? Is it because of what happened to her? Hannah's world changed within minutes after being rescued and reunited with her real parents.

She tried so hard to deny who she was. She lied when she said she didn't recognize Finn and Rachel Hudson. That's one of the main reasons why she rushed out on the day she saw Finn.

She knew all this time.

Finn and Rachel had help telling Hannah who they were. It wasn't the easiest. Finn began to cry and Rachel sobbed and wrapped her arms around Hannah. As for Angela and Matthew, they've were investigated, and locked up behind bars.

Rivera and Jefferson said not to push Hannah into testifying against the Camden's. The Hudson's only care about is Hannah and getting her home safe.

There were cameras aware around the house. The neighborhood was fill with pink and purple balloons, Hannah's favorite colors. A huge welcome sign in the community has read "Welcome Home Hannah. We Love You." with hearts and gold stars.

When it was time to enter the house, Rachel sobbed tears of happiness. Another welcome sign inside with Sophia, and her four grandparents. For Hannah, she stared at the four elderly couple wondering who they were.

"Baby girl? This is Sophia. You're little sister. These are your grandparents. Grandpa Leroy, Granddaddy Hiram, Grandpa Burt, and Granny Carol." Rachel says with her arms around Hannah. She walks her over to them.

The grandparents were in tears as they hugged Hannah. "You are so beautiful. We're so happy you're home!" Carole says in tears hugging Hannah tightly.

"Oh sweetheart. You're beautiful! What do you like? Do you like to shop? Watch movies? We'll do whatever you want." Leroy says when it's his turn to hug Hannah.

"Daddy." Rachel says rolling her eyes.

"You've grown so much. I've missed my little munchkin." Hiram says. Burt clears his throat. "I'm your new Grandpa. I married your Grandma Carole. I heard so much about you." He says. "I'm so happy you're okay." He reaches out for a hug, hoping it doesn't feel awkward.

After all the grandparents hugged Hannah, it was Sophia's turn. Hannah remembers her face, only because she ran into her not long ago. Sudden memories came back to her being little as she used to always color and play barbies with Sophia. "Hi sis." Sophia says quietly. Just like everyone else in the house, Sophia hugged Hannah.

"I'll never forget this day that bought so much joy into our lives." Finn cried. Rachel wrapped her arms around both of her beautiful girls. "I can't stop smiling. We're all together again." She said kissing Hannah and Sophia. Finn cries at this wonderful moment where his family found happiness.


I hope you enjoy and I hope it doesn't feel like I rushed into it. What will happen now? Will Hannah accept who the Hudson's are? Will she speak? Will Sophia become the sister Hannah needs?

Stay tuned to find out more.
