Finn was so excited because today was the day Rachel was finally coming home. It was only supposed to be for a month but she decided to stay until the week before school started. He was surprised at how much he missed her, 7 weeks was really a long time. Sure he was busy with work but he still thought about her constantly. They really didn't talk much either. He would text her and wouldn't get a reply till he was in bed she was so busy.

He imagined it like would be like the movies. He would be waiting by the baggage claim, and she would be looking around for him and then run to his open arms. It wasn't like that…at all.

He was waiting for her to come to the bag carousel. He saw her and she looked amazing. She was so tan and her hair had gotten longer. She looked hot. She had her aviators on, and short denim jean shorts on with a white v-neck t-shirt and black flip flops.

It looked like she was talking to herself, and then he saw her bedazzled cell phone. She got her bags and didn't even look around for her dads. She just kept talking and laughing on her phone. She turned around and saw Finn. She waved and smiled at him, started rolling her bags and walking over to him still on the phone. Who could she be talking to?

"I got to go Katie; Finn is here to pick me up! I know I am a lucky girl. I'll call you later love. Haha ok bye!"

"Hey babe sorry about that, that was one of my friends from camp. She wanted me to call her as soon as I landed. "

"No problem Rach. I am just so glad to see you." He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up, when her phone rang again.

"Finn can you put me down for a sec. It's another one of my friends."

"Ahh ok." Something was just so different about her.

"Hey Amy! I know I miss you to. My plane just landed! Sorry I called her first, you were next on my list though. Of course I'll Skype with you. Now get back to rehearsal before Cindy yells at you! Ok love you, bye."

The whole time Finn was just standing there holding her bags.

"Hi Finn! I missed you!" She got on her tippy toes to kiss him

"I missed you to Rachel, you have no idea how much I missed you. You want to go grab some lunch? You can tell me all about your trip."

"Of course!"

They got to his car and the phone started going off again. Rachel noticed Finn rolling his eyes so she put it on vibrate. "I'll call them back later"

"So tell me about your summer! What have you been doing? I feel like we haven't talked in forever."

"Just been working and helping Trevor out with the baby. She has gotten so big."

"Did you hang out with the glee guys at all?"

"yea we just hung out, it was fun but I wish you were here with me. Tell me about California!"

"Lets get to the diner first; I have so much to tell you!"

"It feels so good to just relax! These past seven weeks have been crazy!" Rachel was going to keep talking when the waiter came to take their order.

"I'll have the bacon cheeseburger and Rach you want your grilled cheese with tomato?"

"Ahh no thanks Finn, I am just going to have a garden salad, no cheese. Do you have any vinaigrette?"

"We have balsamic vinaigrette."

"Sounds good to me. She smiled and handed the waiter their menus. "You ok Finn?"

"Yea but why didn't you get what you usually get?"

"I am vegan now Finn."

"Ya so, grilled cheese doesn't have meat on it?"

"Vegans don't eat any animal bi-product, no meat no dairy."

"So what do you eat then?"

"Lots and lots of vegetables! Tofu, soy, fruit, nuts, and lots of other stuff just not meat or dairy."

"What made you become vegan?"

"Lots of the girls at the camp are, and the camp offered vegan meals so I tried it and I love it, I feel so healthy. Jesse even is one now."

"Jesse? Jesse Who?..."

"St. James, I ran into him on campus. He was moving his stuff into his dorm. It was awkward at first and I tried to avoid him but he came running up to me and hugged me. he apologized and explained everything to me. We talked for an hour in the student lounge and he come out to me."

"He came out to you? I swear I am gonna kill that guy. He eggs you and makes a pass at you? Who does he think he is?"

"Finn, he didn't come on to me he came out!"

"Came out?"

She just stared at him hoping he would catch on soon enough.

"Wait out out?"

"Yes Finn. He told me that after regionals, he became very close with one of his team mates. I guess they have this special connection. I met him; he is very nice, they seem pretty happy together. Anyway I helped him move in and we hung out when I was done at rehearsal and stuff."

"That's great Rach, I am glad you two could be friends after that whole thing." Even if Jesse was gay, he didn't want to talk about him. So he changed the subject fast. "Tell me about the camp. You obviously made lots of friends?"

"Well it is so much fun to go there because everyone there has the same passion for performing as me, yet there are so many different kinds of people. People from all walks of life and all with different personalities, but they all accept you. I am going to miss it so much. It was nice not getting teased every day."

"Rach everyone at glee likes you, especially me. " He winked and smiled at her but she looked like she didn't even want to come back after talking about all the fun she had.

"I know that's not true. But I know you love me. And I love you too. It feels good to be back. I can't wait to go back to school; we are going to be the new power couple this year!"

Finn was so glad she was back. He reached across the table, and held her hand. "You bet we are babe"
