Yes, they are meeting each other. Yes, there is going to be a huge drama. Yes, Finchel will be happy in the end.
" I hope you are happy now. " Quinn said as she signed the divorce papers.
A lot had happened. Puck had discovered the truth about Beth and one night told Finn. Finn immediately stoped sleeping with Quinn in one bed, he stopped talking with her. He couldn't forgive something like that to her. He loved Beth. But he had nothing to do with Quinn. Nothing. In fact, he realised that if he had known the truth about Beth, he probably would be with Rachel. The woman he was never going to see again. The woman who has her own girl, probably a boyfriend too.
" I hope you were happy these ten years. " Finn took his papers and left. He was single now. He needed to celebrate it. It sounded stupid but he had to. All the Quinn thing hurt but he believed the change was for good.
This was the day. The day she was visiting her dads. With Sarah.
They were driving from the airport and listening to radio.
" Mommy, I want ice cream. " Sarah had been begging for ice cream since they had landed in Lima.
" Honey, we have no ice cream in the car. Can't you wait until we get home? " Rachel tried to calm down the little one.
" Mommy! " She started crying.
" Honey, just ten minutes. " Rachel said but Sarah continued crying.
" You promised ice cream! " Rachel couldn't resist it anymore.
" We are stopping in a shop. Okay? "
" Ice cream,mommy! " Rachel sometimes wondered how the little one managed to get happy from sad so fast.
" Here we are. Don't get lost. " Rachel stopped the car and Sarah was already running in the shop.
" Find the ice cream you want! I will be back in a minute ! " Rachel yelled. She went to pick some soya milk in case if her dads didn't have any.
Sarah had chosen an ice cream but she didn't see Rachel anywhere. She was running around the shop when she ran into a tall figure.
" I'm sorry. I am lost. " Sarah looked up at the man she had just ran into.
Finn looked at the girl that was looking up to him. She was about Beth's age , he thought. The girl seemed so sweet , he wanted to help her.
" What's your name ? " Finn asked .
" Sarah Berry. " She said not noticing the running Rachel. Rachel recognized Finn. Talking with Sarah. She couldn't let him realise the truth before she decides to tell him. " But my full name is Sarah Hudson Berry. " Rachel saw Finn's facial exprssion. Too late.
" Mommy! " Sarah saw Rachel .
" Honey, we are going. " Rachel grabbed Sarah's hand . She wanted to pay and leave. She didn't have the strenght to deal with the man she was still in love with, affter ten years. Who definitely hates her now.
" I don't think you are going anywhere. " Finn grabbed Rachel's wrist. He didn't want to hurt her but he had some reasons. He couldn't let her leave.
" Honey, can your bring mommy some yoghurt? Find the best one , I need to talk with this man for some minutes. "
" Finn, I can explain. " Rachel felt so guilty. She suddenly realised how he must be feeling now.
" Is she mine? " She could swear she saw tears in his eyes.
" Yes, she is yours.. " Rachel sighed. This was one of the worst days of her life.
" Wow, why you didn't tell me? It has been ten years, Rachel! How could you hide the fact I had a daughter! How could you? I thought you were better than this. " Finn started panicking. He had a daughter. Few weeks ago he got to know that the girl he thought was his daughter actually wasn't. Now, he gets a daughter at the same age, just this time.. When Sarah had said she was Hudson, he looked at her , then it hit him. Her eyes,nose,her everything. Maybe only her hair was Rachel's .
" I am sorry, okay? I just heard you had a family. And you said we were done in high school. That it didn't mean anything. " Rachel started crying. " That I didn't mean anything to you. What did you expect me to do? Run after you and beg for you to stay with me? It is not me , Finn. " Rachel started walking away from Finn, the love of her life, the father of her daughter .
" Yeah, so you decided to take my daughter away from me. " He laughed. " If I didn't meet her today, would you ever tell me? " He asked as she was walking to the exit.
" Finn, I would , yes. " Rachel said,tears now in her eyes. She gave the cashier ten dollars and walked to the exit.
He watched as she walked out of the shop. He was not going to leave it like this. He took out his phone and called Kurt.
" Did you know? " He asked as Kurt answered.
" Did know what? " Kurt asked, not understanding what Finn was talking about.
" Rachel. Sarah. I know , okay? How could you not tell me? " Finn said, walking to the alcohol department. He wanted not to think about the reality .
" I thought you knew she had a daughter. " Kurt said while Finn was searching for something that would turn his brain off.
" I knew, I just didn't know I was her father. " Finn sarcastically laughed.
" You are Sarah's father? " Kurt's words really sounded genuine.
" So she didn't tell anyone.. " Finn sighed.
" Finn, is that true? Is Sarah your daughter? "
" Can I have her number? " Finn asked, placing a bottle of Absolut in his basket.
" Finn, is Sarah, is she your daughter? When did you two.. How could she.. "
" I just need her number, okay? " Finn caused a few people to stare at him. He was not usually angry but this time he had a very serious reason.
" I'll send it to you. " Kurt hung up the phone and after a few minutes Finn received a message with Rachel's phone number.
Finn paid for the vodka and immediately walked to his car. He drove home as fast as possible, thinking about his life in the past ten years. Thinking about Rachel and their daughter. He hated Quinn for lying about Beth, but he hated Rachel even more at the moment. She stole those moments every father would want to be a part in , she didn't say anything to him. He didn't have a chance to feel her first kick,see her when she was born, catch her when she falls on the ground, see her first steps. His daughter knows him as a stranger from the shop. His own daughter doesn't know him. And he didn't know her either .
" Rachel , what's wrong? " Her dads asked in unison as she walked in the house , tears in her eyes.
" I am so bad person. " She sat on the couch and continued crying, causing her dads and Sarah to stare at her.
" Go and play with mommie's old dolls! " Hiram told Sarah , and the little girl did what she was told to.
" We met him. " Rachel said, sobbing.
" Met who? " Leroy asked, sitting next to Rachel, trying to comfort her.
" H- Her father.. "
" Oh girl, we told you that later you tell him, harder it would be. " Hiram took a seat ,too.
" I hate myself, I am a horrible person. "
" I am not going to say that what you did was right, because it wasn't , but eventually he will forgive you. " Hiram said, caressing Rachel's back.
" Sarah will hate me. "
" Does she know? " Leroy asked as Rachel mentioned their granddaughter.
" No, but I am going to tell her today. If she is going to hate me too, at least everything happens on one day. " Rachel wiped her tears away and stood up. " She deserves to know. " She went to kitchen to wash her black face since she had been wearing mascara that day.
" Are you sure? "
" Yes. " She said and walked upstairs to her old room. She realised it looked the same even after ten years. " Sarah? " She knocked on the door.
" Come in , mommy. " Rachel opened the door and saw her little girl playing with dolls. " Mommy? "
" Yeah, sweetie? " She sat on her old bed , next to Sarah.
" Who was Finn? " Sarah stared at her with her beautiful eyes and Rachel couldn't lie to her.
" You have asked me about your father. " Rachel started and Sarah nodded. " And I said that it is such a hard to tell story. Finn, the guy we met today, he is your father. " Rachel felt really relieved when the truth was out. For a few seconds Sarah stared at Rachel. " Honey, is everything alright? "
" Everyone in my class tells how much their daddies love them. Mine didn't even want me . " Suddenly tears appeared in Sarah's eyes.
" Honey, he definitely loves you. " Rachel wrapped her arms around Sarah's body for a hug.
" But he didn't want me! Why have I never seen him? " The little started crying and now Rachel felt as the worst mother in the world. " I hate him. " Sarah sobbed.
She had to say the hardest part.
" It is not his fault. " Rachel said and Sarah looked up at her with her teary eyes. " I didn't tell him about you. He only got to know it today. " By the time Rachel had finished the sentence Sarah was out of her arms and standing, crying again.
" I hate you! " She yelled and ran out of the room. " All the other kids have a daddy! It is only your fault I don't have a one! " Sarah ran downstairs and hugged Hiram's leg , trying to get some comfort.
" Sarah Berry Hudson, you are not talking like that to your mother! " Rachel followed her downstairs.
" You are no longer my mother! " You are no longer my mother. No longer my mother. This was the moment Rachel realised she had screwed up, really screwed up. Everyone had their reasons to hate her. She looked at her fathers who were watching the crying girl.
Thinking it couldn't be worse , Rachel heard her phone ringing. She walked back upstairs and saw the unknown number calling.
" Rachel Berry listening. " She said in her sad voice.
" Did she know about me? " The man's voice said and Rachel started to cry again.
" I am so sorry, Finn, I just told her. You can't imagine how sorry I am. "
" I am not going to discuss anything , when can I meet her? " He asked, his voice angry. " Or maybe you want to hide her from me for another ten years. " He laughed, causing her to cry even more.
" Finn, I said I am sorry! " She raised her voice.
" Oh , yes! I forgot that! You really think you can fix it with your sorry? You took away my daughter! You didn't let me be a part of her life! "
" Please stop yelling at me! How do you think I feel right now? When my daughter tells me I am no longer her mother? When I fe- "
" Oh , I wonder why she told you that. " He cut her off with his sarcasm.
She couldn't listen to it. She hung up the phone hoping this all would come to end. Little did she know about the message that had arrived while they were talking.
I seriously don't know how could you hide it from my brother, Sarah, me! From everyone! Do you understand how fucking selfish you are? This is too much , Rachel ! Forget you have any friends here. Everyone's disappointed in you.
She collapsed on the bed after reading Kurt's text. Her daugher didn't see her as a mom anymore, her friends didn't want to be friends with her anymore, her love of the life hated her more than anything. She was broken. She had only her fathers and Jesse now. She could remember herself feeling so bad only when she started her own life in New York. Since then she somehow had made her life much better, she had raised Sarah so she loved her, she had kept in touch with some of her friends here, her fathers supported her.
But now, she didn't know anything . What was going to happen, will she ever get forgiveness from the people she loved. Will her life ever be fulfilled with happiness?
