Three chapters? Yes! I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT AUDREY AND CHRIS


As Audrey took one last look around her empty New York City apartment, she thought of her wonderful fourteen years here. Trying to hold back the tears she started to head towards the door. Audrey turned her head to have one last look. She took a deep breath and headed out the door. The movers had already left with their furniture and other things five days before.

When the elevator doors opened she saw her Mom and Dad waiting there for her. "Sorry I took so long," Audrey said to both of them. "It's fine. Come on, we have to catch our flight," Finn said. Audrey gave a quick wave to Chris and mouthed the words 'Bye'. Chris did the same.

Audrey leaned her head against the taxi cab window, looking out at her New York. Rachel looked over at her daughter as Audrey wiped off a tear. "Are you ok Audrey?" Rachel asked. "Oh, yeah I'm fine," Audrey responded. She pushed away the tears and put on a smile.

"Can I ask why we aren't in first class?" Audrey asked her parents. "We're starting your normal life early," Rachel said. "Fine," Audrey said as she sat down next to her Mom and Dad. About twenty minutes into the plane ride, Audrey noticed that she didn't charge her iPod. "Great. I should've charged it before we left," she said as she put her iPod back into her jean pocket. "Now what am I going to do for the next hour and twenty-five minutes?" she said as she rested her head into her hands. "How about I tell you a story?" asked Finn. "Oh god. Please don't tell me about you guys in high school! Your relationship was too crazy for me to handle!" said Audrey. Finn and Rachel both laughed. "Well it's true!" Audrey added. "Well what do you want to hear then?" Finn asked.

Audrey thought hard, "How about your wedding day?"

"We haven't told you about that before?" Rachel questioned.

"Nope! I'm all ears."

"I'm so nervous," said Rachel pressing down on her white strapless wedding gown. "Rachel Berry nervous? Oh or should I say Rachel Hudson?" Quinn questioned and Rachel laughed. "Were you this nervous when you and Sam got married?" "Of course. Every woman gets nervous on her wedding day," Quinn responded. "You'll be fine Rachel, don't worry about it," said Mercedes. Rachel took a deep breath, trying to forget about her nerves.

The music started to play as Rachel made her way down the aisle with her Dads. One in each arm. Rachel looked over the sea of people to see her Mom, Shelby. She looked to left to her maid of honor, Quinn and her two other bridesmaids, Mercedes and Tina. She then looked to her right to see Finn's best man, Kurt with Sam, and Artie behind him. Rachel finally looked at Finn. Seeing the smile on his face made all of her nerves go away.

At the wedding reception everyone was having a great time talking, laughing, and of course drinking. "Can I have your attention please, everybody?" said Kurt holding a glass of champagne in one hand and a microphone in the other. "Hello everyone, I would just like to say a few words. I want to start off by going down memory lane a bit. Finn and Rachel's relationship has been though many ups and downs. But in the end, it was funny because they always somehow got back together," people started to laugh and so did Finn and Rachel. "And I guess it's because the love was always there. Congrats to Finn and Rachel, may your life together be filled with love and happiness," said Kurt holding up his champagne glass. Finn and Rachel both smiled towards him. "Now it's time for the first dance," said one of the band members.

Finn and Rachel both got up and headed towards the dance floor, hand-in-hand. The music started to play for the song I'll Be.

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

Finn started to whisper the lyrics into Rachel's ear.

I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

Rachel smiled, "I love you Finn."

"I love you too Rachel."

As Finn finished the story, they both saw Audrey's eyes tear up. "That was so sweet," Audrey said. Finn and Rachel both smiled at each other, hand-in-hand. "Attention everyone. We'll be arriving in Columbus, Ohio in ten minutes," said the woman on the intercom. "Wow that made time fly."


When I heard I'll Be by Edwin McCain I thought to myself, "This is going to be Finn and Rachel's weddign song." I just had to add it somehow into my story. It couldn't be more perfect for them!
