Sorry for lack of Rachel fluffiness, I just really adore Daddy Finn and I hope it becomes a real storyline on Glee one day! :) Warning: Fluffy season two reference ahead, hope you enjoy! :)
It's summer vacation, so Finn's of from work which is a very good thing because the new baby, Christopher is certainly keeping the Hudson's busy. Christopher Liam Daniel Hudson is six weeks old and Stella's warming up to him just fine but Finn takes her out of the house a lot so she doesn't get jealous. Finn decides to take Stella to the Central Park zoo. Stella loves the zoo, Finn takes her a lot.
"Daddy, Can we go to the dolphin show?" Stella says, her big cinnamon eyes hard to deny.
"Of course we can, why wouldn't we?" Finn replies smiling.
"Yay."
Stella is holding on to Finn's hand as they walk to the lion exhibit. Stella gets up on her tiptoes so she can see a little better, poor thing didn't inherit even a little bit of her height from her Daddy
"Daddy I can't see!" Stella whines. Looking over at Stella Finn smiles, his little girl is all her mother, aside from the eyes, dimples, and smile of course. Finn picks Stella up and puts her on his shoulders.
"There is that better Princess?" Finn asks his daughter.
"Mhmm, much better, thank you Daddy." Stella says smiling.
"You're welcome Sweetheart."
"Daddy! Isn't this lion huge?"
"It is, it's really big isn't it?"
"In preschool my class learned about lions and the teacher told us that only the boy lions have manes."
"You're a smart little girl, you know that Stella?"
"Yeah, the teacher says I'm very smart."
"You take after you're mother in that department."
"You're smart too Daddy, you always know what to say."
"So, what do you want to go see now, Princess?"
"Penguins."
"Ok then, penguins it is!"
"Daddy, isn't that penguin big?
"Yeah it's huge, maybe even bigger than me."
Stella giggles. "No Daddy, you're too tall."
" Is that so?"
"Mhmm, you're really, really tall, much, much taller than I am."
"You are only four years old Stell, you'll get much taller than you are now."
"I know but I want to be really tall, just like you."
"Sweetheart, I hate to break it to you, but that probably isn't gonna happen."
"Why?"
"Because you get your size from your mother, you're both very tiny but that's ok because you're both very beautiful that way."
"Mommy says I have your eyes, is that true?"
"Yeah, you do, and your brother's got your Mommy's eyes."
"Daddy, can we go to see the dolphin show now?"
"Yeah let's go Sweetheart, Mommy will probably want us to come home soon anyways."
"Okay."
They watch the dolphin show , it's probably one of the best dolphin shows in all of New York, and it is probably Stella's favorite part of the entire zoo. Finn looks over and sees the most priceless look on his daughter's face, her facial expressions really are just as cute as her mother's, that's for sure.
"Daddy, dolphins are so smart!" Stella says excitedly as they leave the dolphin show.
"You're such an animal lover." Finn says smiling
"Are we going back home now Daddy?"
"I was going to stop at the gift shop and get a stuffed animal for your brother first, do you want to help me pick it out?"
"Yeah!"
"I was thinking maybe a lion or a tiger since his room is done in zoo animal theme and those are the ones used most in his room."
"I'd go with the lion, it's probably much softer."
"You're right Princess, let's go with the lion."
"You think he'll like it."
"He'll love it, he really likes you, you're a good big sister."
"I am?"
"Yeah you are Princess."
Finn listens to his daughter babble the entire way home. She is practically her Mommy's twin, she acts so much like her sometimes.
"We're home." Finn calls walking through the door.
"Hey Guys! Did you have fun at the zoo." Rachel asks, she really appreciates it when Finn takes Stella out even if it's only for a little bit.
"Mhmm, Daddy and I got something for Bubby. Where is he?" Stella asks
"He's asleep Sweetie, I'm sure he'll be up soon, then you can show him his surprise you and Daddy got him."
Then almost as if on cue, Christopher's loud cries indicate that he's up.
Rachel brings the tiny little boy downstairs where Stella's sitting.
"Mommy can I hold him?" She asks
"Of course you can Darling. Be careful and watch his head ok?" Rachel instructs
"Hi Chrissy, I missed you. Daddy and I got you this lion at the zoo. Do you like it?" Stella asks her little brother.
"Sweetie, do you know what sound lions make. Lions say rawr. Can you say Rawr?" Rachel coos looking down at her son as he stares at her.
"Mommy you're being silly." Stella says
"That's what you have to do for babies, they like that." Rachel replies
"Oh."
Christopher and Stella don't really look anything alike. Stella's got her father's cinnamon eyes, and Christopher has Rachel's chocolate brown ones, Stella's got dark hair, and her little brother's is a bit lighter like his Daddy's. Their cheeks and noses are opposite too. Everyone in the family says that both kids are perfect mix of each of their parents and it seems to be very true.
"Mommy, was I this tiny when I was a baby?" Stella asks Rachel curiously.
"You were actually smaller than this. You were a really tiny baby." Rachel replies.
"Daddy says I get my tininess from you."
"Daddy's right you do, we are both very tiny aren't we?"
"He's much taller than you are Mommy. Is that weird?"
"No Sweetheart, it really isn't. Not after being with your daddy for this long anyway."
"Oh, I think Bubby looks like you."
"He does doesn't he. But he's got your Daddy's nose."
"I like being a sister Mommy."
"I knew you would."
Stella get off of the couch and goes outside to join her Daddy.
"Hi Daddy." She says.
Hey Princess what are you doing out here?" Finn asks her.
"Mommy's busy with Bubby, so I came out here."
"Oh well I can stop my yard work and hang out with you if you want me too."
"No you don't have to Daddy, I brought my crayons out here with some paper."
"You're such a good girl, I'm so proud of you."
"Why Daddy?"
"Why? You're so beautiful, the sweetest little girl in the world, so smart and a very good ballerina. There are so many reasons to be proud of you. You're the best daughter and I'm so glad I'm your daddy."
"I love you Daddy, so much."
"I love you too Sweetie."
"Thank you for taking me to the zoo. I love summer it means you don't have to work and I get to spend a lot of time with you my daddy, my favorite person in the whole world."
"You really are a Sweetheart, just like your mother."
"You compare me to my Mommy a lot."
"That's just because you're as beautiful, smart and talented as she is."
"I want to be just like her when I grow up."
"You will be, I know you're going to be a star one day."
"How do you know, are you a psychic Daddy?"
"No, I'm just aware of how incredibly talented you are."
"Daddy, how do know how talented I am already, I'm only four years old."
"You are already a star I see it in you all the time, especially at your ballet lessons and when you sing with your mommy."
"Am I a pretty singer?"
"You are a very good singer Princess, you sound really cute when you sing to."
"Daddy, what do you think about me playing softball next year?"
"If you want to play then I think you should, but if you are doing this for me you really don't have to."
"No Daddy, I really want to play. It seems fun, and you can practice with me and everything it will be so much fun."
"I look forward to it."
"I can't wait you can teach me how to catch and hit the ball, and then when Chrissy gets older he can play with us too."
"That could be fun. I'm sure you'll be really good"
"Daddy, do you ever wish I wasn't growing up sometimes?"
"Yeah, but only because you're my sweet little girl, I love you so much, you give me so much to be proud of."
Daddy, even when I grow up, I will still be your little girl and you'll still have Mommy and Bubby with you. They love you too Daddy."
"I know, you ,your mommy and Christopher are tethered to my heart and I'll never stop loving the three of you. You are all my world."
"What's tethered mean?"
"It means that you all will be in my heart forever."
"So you've been tethered to Mommy for a long time?"
"Mhmm and I always will be."
Review please! :D
