Chapter 9: The best is yet to come.
"Finn, Come on babe it's time to get up, we have to be at school in an hour and a half…, Finnnny… please baby, and you know I don't like to be late."
Rachel is trying to wake up her super sleepy boyfriend, although he doesn't appear to be willing to budge one inch, and well, she can't really blame him after the 'very romantic" evening they shared the previous night for Valentine's Day.
Taking another glance at the clock and shaking Finn once more, only to be answered with a mumbled "Mmm more please Chel, I love your mouth baby."
She giggles at his obvious dream state and leans over to sweep her lips over his, and whispering in his ear
"Finny, I'm going for a shower now baby and I could use some help to scrub my back."
Rachel climbs out of bed and languidly stretches her sore naked body, as her small feet pad silently across the carpeted floor to her soft rose colored, en-suite bathroom. Smiling widely when she thinks back to the reasons' why she is so achy (at least four times, it is a new record for them) a shameless giggle leaves her still slightly puffy lips. Standing under the warm water and directing the massaging shower head against her body, sighing at the soothing, pulsing water jets. After a few minutes, she switches the spray back to normal and reattaches it to the wall bracket, turning around to wet her hair, moaning a little at the way her strawberry shampoo, always makes her feel alive and fresh, especially first thing in the morning. The action of massaging her hair and scalp, also relaxed her mind taking it back (not that the images and feelings would be leaving her brain or body real soon) to the beautiful evening her man had treated her to … her heart and other parts flutter as she remembers
She had received a text message first thing in the morning,
Good Morning Miss Berry.
Happy Valentines Day to the most beautiful and sexy woman in my world
Be ready for a surprise tonight, I'll pick you up at 6 pm, dress - if you really have to :( I guess semi formal is good
Love you baby
Only yours forever, Finny ;*)
She swoons a little at his words and texts him back immediately
Good morning to you too handsome
Happy Valentines Day baby
Oooohhh a surprise! I can't wait to see you later ;*)
I love you more
Ditto, Chel xxxx
Rachel hadn't seen Finn much the day before, so she had no idea what he was planning for the world wide recognised day of lovers, as they had only exchanged a couple of text messages. Finn had been at the tire shop, working as much as he can to save money for college. She missed him terribly, but found enough things to do to keep busy, like tidying her closet and starting to sort things she wanted to keep and others that she wouldn't need when she went away to college
So when the doorbell rang at 5:55pm that evening Rachel opened the door to find her handsome sexy man standing on the front stoop completely hidden ( well the upper part of his body anyway, all that was really visible were his long suit pant clad legs and shiny black shoes ) by the biggest bouquet of sweet smelling mixed flowers that she had ever seen.
"Oh Finn, baby they're absolutely stunning, the prettiest things ever…are they for me?" She asks bouncing a little on the spot as she tries to help Finn through the doorway without squishing the flowers
He shrugs and shakes his head a cheeky smirk appearing on his face "I don't know they were just laying in the door step so I picked 'em up so they didn't get stood on, but… I 'spose you can have them…, ya know if you want 'em I mean?"
Finn presents the flowers to the woman standing there looking like a goddess in a long sleeved lacy, white pant suit that was pulled tight around her tiny waist by a wide black belt glittering with white rhinestones that, when Finn raked his cinnamon eyes over the length of her body noticed, matched her high heeled shoes. He wondered if there was something wrong with the central heating because he was feeling overly warm all of a sudden.
"Finn Hudson it's not nice to tease." She says slapping him gently on the arm and pouting, pretending to be mad.
"I'm sorry baby girl, of course these are for you, though I think you made a little mistake with your words baby, and here I was thinkin' it was only me who did that."
At his girlfriend's look of puzzlement, he elaborates.
"You said the flowers were absolutely stunning, but I disagree with that assumption" he looks to her for clarification of his correct word usage, at her small nod, he continues. "Well when I was at the flower place and saw the hundreds of different flowers, wondering why they need so many … but anyway I was trying to find one that was as beautiful as you, but I couldn't 'cause they were all nice and stuff and smelled real pretty and then I thought about why I loved you and… well I didn't have enough time to go through every single reason right there in the shop 'cause the lady there kept givin' me funny looks. So I just brought one of each and figured that there were as many flowers to match all the reasons, and together they make up the stunningly beautiful package that is Rachel Barbra Berry… so yeah well here it is happy Valentines Day baby, I love you."
"F-Finn Hudson you are amazing do you know that, never before in my life have I heard such beautiful words and when she looks up at him her big brown eyes are brimming with tears, and before Finn knows whether he has said something wrong … His tiny girl has pulled his face down to meet hers and is kissing him as though her life depends on it. They continue their 'hello' for days or weeks? Neither really cares, Rachel whimpers against his mouth, trying to get even closer to him , it was almost like she was trying to merge her body with his as one entity. But it is not until Leroy wanders into the entry complaining loudly about a cold draft, that the young couple are shaken from their lustful greetings. Finn and Rachel quickly pull apart with heaving chests' and loud breaths.
"Where the devil is that cold air coming from? Hiram I thought you said the service man had been to check out the central hea…? Oh good evening Son, have you taken up flower arranging now?" he lets out a chuckle at his little joke and at the startled deer in the headlights look on the kids' flushed faces. "My word that is a large bunch of flowers, though I think they will last longer if you get them out of the cold doorway and into some water." This time Leroy laughs out loud as he motions Finn inside, and closes the door behind him.
Finn and Rachel just nod at Dad's comment, Rachel recovers a bit quicker and removes the flowers from his arms stumbling slightly from the kiss ( Finn has always had the ability to make her knees go weak and her heart beat in triple time every time he presses his lips to hers… oh… come on Rachel who are you kidding, let's be honest, anytime Finn is near you go all mushy inside) as she turns around to follow her dad back into the house, where she fills up one side of the kitchen sink depositing the flowers in said water after loosening the tie around the stems. Before retreating to the bathroom to fix her makeup and readjust her softly styled semi up-do that due to Finn's ministrations had decided to come undone so she just removed the remaining few bobby pins, and brushed her hair out leaving it to fall around her shoulders in a wavy silky shawl. Anxious to see what Finn had planned for their night, she takes one last quick look in the mirror before grabbing her shawl and purse and bidding dads' goodnight.
When they were close to their destination, Rachel still couldn't tell were they were going as she hadn't heard of any new restaurants opening up in the area around the lake. Finn hands her a blindfold and asks her to put it on checking every few minutes to make sure she couldn't see.
"Finn where are you taking me? Are you kidnapping me to elope? Please tell me, you know these shoes aren't exactly hiking boots baby."
"Chel honey, stop asking me ok you will find out very soon, and as for your shoes they will be fine baby I promise, but you know I'm not adverse to carrying you, so just be patient we will be there very soo, and no as much as I'd like to just whisk you away somewhere and get married, I have gym class tomorrow, 'n we're doin' weights 'n stuff. So getting married will have to wait a bit"
Rachel huffs and pouts, at the same time as she folds her arms under her boobs, which pushes them up enough for Finn to get a good look at them from his peripherals, causing an involuntary moan to escape his lips which he has to lick repeatedly because for some reason they have suddenly gone very dry. He squirms in his seat slightly to readjust his pants…
"Ok baby girl we are here, but nuh-uh you can't take it off yet, just trust me Chel, I love you baby."
"I do trust you Finny, and I love you too, but baby I'm dying of excitement here can I look yet?" she turns her head towards Finn and pouts again. Finn just chuckles as he puts the truck into park, turns off the ignition and undoes his seatbelt, he leans over. Cups her cheek in his hand and presses a soft kiss on Rachel's still pouting mouth. Then as he pulls away he whispers in her ear.
"I love you Chel forever, he climbs out of his seat then rushes around to open the door for his one true love and as he takes both her little hands in his one as he guides her out of the truck on to the grass before draping her warm shawl around her a bit tighter
"Ok baby you can look now." Finn says softly holding her shawl tightly around her shoulders, as she moves her hands upwards to remove the blindfold, which Finn takes from her shaking hand and tucks into his trouser pocket.
A loud gasp leaves Rachel's mouth as she looks first at the scene infront of her then at her widely smiling boyfriend.
"F-Finny… it's beautiful baby… but how did you do all this?"
Rachel leans up just as Finn leans down to mash their mouths together in a combined 'thankyou baby I love you / you're welcome, I love you more kiss'
When their breath returns, Finn with one hand spread across the small of her back, and his other , holding hers guides Rachel over to the small gazebo overlooking the pond, soft lights drape around the inside of the structure softening the area from the harsher spotlights setback a ways, an outdoor heater sitting in one corner warming the air inside. Rachel notices that now they are inside somehow three sides of the gazebo have been drawn shut and the warmth from the heater is making the whole space wonderfully warm and romantic. The romantic atmosphere is aided by the three tall candleholders each holding three large vanilla scented pillar candles that are placed in the corners.
Rachel's favorite 'Journey' song faithfully emitting from what she could see as an I-pod was playing softly, and two white coated waiters are standing by with silver trays covered by domed lids. Finn takes his speechless girlfriend by the hand and leads her to the white cloth covered table set with delicate plain white china, silver cutlery and crystal glassware, a small vase in the middle of the table was filled with a mixed bunch of similar flowers, Finn had given her earlier in the evening. As Finn pulls out her chair and helps her to sit, he makes eye contact and says "Happy Valentines baby, I love you so very much"
"Oh Finn…, I have no words…
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
Feigning irritation at his assumption she is always talking Rachel reaches over the table and takes his hand squeezing it in hers. Taking a deep breath and wiping away the happy tears that are falling slowly down her cheeks. "Finn Hudson you are without a doubt the most wonderful and beautiful, caring man in the entire universe, and I am so very happy to be with you, I will never forget this night as long as I live, I love you faithfully forever. Now are you going to tell me how you managed to put all this together?"
"Chel you should know by now that nothing is too much for the love of my life and the only woman I will ever want to be with, so yeah I guess I can tell you about her."
Finn signals the waiters over and as they place the small domed plates of the first course which was a selection of 6 different hors-d'œuvre. Which included angles on horse back, canapés, sushi, fried mozzarella sticks and stuffed mushrooms. He starts to speak nodding as the 'wine waiter' offers a bottle of sparkling cider for Finn to taste before pouring each a glass, replacing the bottle in the ice bucket at Finn's side and retreating to the side with the other servers.
" Well if you really want to hear about the woman who stole my heart … I guess I can tell you, first off she is as sexy as hell and has the longest legs I've ever seen on a girl her size. Her eyes shine like stars…, how is your food?"
"Mmm it is so good, I really love these mushrooms and the canapés, but continue please baby, this girl sounds wonderful, and I wonder do I know her? I hope she is worth all this and is good to you…"
"Oh yeah she is really cool and she is more than worth it this is nothing compared to what I want to give her. I know she will be good to me later." Finn winks at Rachel causing her to giggle and bat her eyes at him shyly "she always is, I don't know why though, I mean I can't dance, get my words mixed up and most of the time I'm just a goofy giant dumb ass, who can throw a football..."
All of a sudden the table shakes as Finn's lap is filled with a tiny white clad brunette pressing warm kisses all over his cheek, tears dripping off her chin.
"Finn Hudson don't ever let me hear you say such things about yourself again, because, you Mr Hudson, are the most genuine and caring man with the biggest heart, not to mention the cutest dimples and sexy smile, as well as being an extremely talented drummer and singer you are also the man who I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with, and who I know can do what ever he wants in life and is going to make one hell of a policeman after college. So enough of being down on yourself I wish you could not only see yourself through my eyes but believe in your own abilities... You know I can see us in the future, all dressed up you are in a black tux and I've got a long black dress on stretched a bit to cover my baby belly, and you are holding my hand as we walk down the stairs at home, we are on our way to an awards/gala night or something for the police force. I'm so proud to be with you and having a baby that is half you and half me. And do you know what that will be enough for me just being married to you and having your babies, and in my spare time I can maybe do Broadway or teach, but being with you is the biggest dream I've had for years."
Through his own tears Finn can do nothing but kiss his girl harder his lips taking hers hostage and his hands caressing her body through her clothes, not remembering the other people in the tent until a soft,
"Ahem?" Breaks through the lustful fog overtaking his brain, pulling him away from where he wants to spend the rest of his life, so breathing heavily his lap is all of a sudden empty as Rachel finds her own seat and sits back down, taking a large sips of her cider, trying to calm her self.
"Are you ready for your main course now?" Stuart asked, all the while trying not to stare at Rachel like a creeper, but it was hard as he thought to himself "god she is beautiful"
"Oh yeah sorry man I'm starvin' what about you babe?"
"Mm-hmm, the entrée was divine, and that cider complemented it perfectly, thankyou." She looks up at Stuart and sends him a beaming smile in thanks,
Before Stuart could help himself he blurted out "you are so beautiful…" before quickly putting their plates in front of them and spinning on his heel and racing away out of the tent. Finn and Rachel sending each other looks that asked the same question, "What was that about" though Finn' said more like 'WTF? So not cool dude".
Another waiter came over this time a girl who Finn knew as Jenni, poured him and Rachel another glass of cider after removing the lids on their plates of chilli prawn and roasted tomato pasta, followed for dessert by a plate of fresh fruit and mini honey and macadamia cheesecakes.
Over their main course Finn explained to Rachel how the evening happened. "The guys and girls" he waved a hand towards the group of people starting to clear up their gear "are catering students from Lima Uni who I met through work at the shop last week, when the van they were in on way to a competition broke down, and I got talking to them about school and after a while the conversation turned to how best to spoil their girl/boy friends, and as a favour for fixing their van quickly, their teacher Ms Newton said anytime I wanted they would cook and serve a dinner for two. So here it is a dinner for the love of my life catered and served by the gold medal winning hospitality and cookery students of Lima U."
After dinner was done with Finn takes Rachel's hand gently pulling her to her feet, and as he wraps his arms around her waist the music changes to a soft slow dance number. Rachel has her cheek pressed over Finn's heart and is swaying slowly against his strong firm body to the music.
"Did you enjoy your dinner baby?"
He presses a soft kiss atop her brunette head at the same time as he feels her head nod against his chest, and her arms' that are wrapped around his waist under his suit jacket squeeze him tighter.
"I did baby and I can't thank you enough for doing all that for me, I love you so much Finny, sometimes I can't describe the feeling that bubbles up inside of me. But I do know you are it for me, and I will spend the rest of my life showing you just how much I love and believe in you, not just the QB or football star, but you Finn Hudson the person…, my person. Oh I know we are still young and have our whole lives ahead of us but I know deep in my soul you are it, we are tethered."
She pulls away so she can look him in the eyes smiling softly at his soft, teary eyes, with her own big brown ones misty with the love she has for him, her voice an emotional whisper, just loud enough for his ears
"You know you can kiss me if you want to."
"I want to!"
A little more dancing in the moonlight and then after thanking everyone for their help, Finn makes sure Rachel is wrapped warmly in her shawl, as he takes her hand and leads her back to his truck in the parking lot. Only to find not only just his truck in the lot as he expected but two others' he recognises the closer they get as belonging to those fucking assholes from school. Jackson Bellamy and Josh Coleman the rugby captain, having a party of sorts as the collection of empty beer cans' and take out food wrappers strewn about the ground would suggest, they weren't alone either because hanging all over them still in their cheerio's uniform where Quinn Fabray and Santana Lopez. They were the last people Finn wanted to see, and spoil his and Chel's beautiful evening.
Making sure she was tucked as tightly as possible into his body by wrapping one arm around her shoulders he led her to his truck, ignoring the other kids and hoping they wouldn't start anything, 'cause he didn't want Chel to see him punch the shit out of them, all was fine until he and Rachel reached the passenger side of his blue truck.
"Yo Hudson, you been out in the woods playin' with ya' self again or were ya lookin' for 'nother hobbit hole to find a new pet?" A loud cackle of sneering laughter from his three companions answers Bellamy's question,
Until Santana notices Rachel and let's loose a mouthful of nasty words "Oh My F'ING God, what the fuck are you wearing hobbit? It looks like my Abuela's best el mantel (table cloth), just as well it is dark, besides the fact that you can't scare any los niños (little kids) away with your hideous looks, it is also safe for Finnocence to be out…"
"Shut the hell up Lopez, and for the last time leave my girlfriend the FUCK alone! As for you Bellamy you ass, why don't you just crawl back under your rock and stay there? That way, I won't be tempted to punch you in the face every time I see you…" Finn yells, but to no avail, as his temper just seems to egg the others on.
"Finny can we just go please? I'm really cold and a bit frightened baby" Rachel whispers holding onto her boyfriends arm a little tighter.
"Finn takes his eyes off the others for a second to glance at his girl starting to shiver in the cold February weather.
"Of course baby I'm sorry, let's go." They reach the truck and Finn opens the passenger door helping Rachel up before locking it, then walking quickly to the drivers side and getting in , discreetly locking the door and starting the engine, turning on the heater and ignoring the muffled jeers and rude hand gestures from the party leaning on the hood of one of the cars. Then as he drives out of the parking lot, a loud clunk is heard, along with more harsh drunken laughter. A loud gasp from Rachel when they realise the noise was the result of a beer can being thrown at his truck.
By the time they reached home Finn had calmed down enough so Rachel couldn't tell he was planning ways to get the bastard Bellamy and his cronies back once and for all, he couldn't kick him off the football team as he quit in January after the trouble before, but he obviously still had an issue with him and Chel. As for those two girls, he wishes they were guys then he would punch their lights out with no remorse, but as they were girls'… all he could do was keep Chel safe and himself as far away from them as possible.
Dads' had gone out for the evening so the Berry house was empty, not that it would have registered to him anyway, because the minute he opened the front door and let Rachel through she attacked his mouth and just about ripped the clothes off his body right there in the foyer.
"B-Baby hold on just a sec, we should take this upstairs to your room." Rachel nods and then jumps energetically into his arms, causing him to stumble slightly as he catches her bridal style and takes off for the stairs ascending them two at a time. The instant they are behind closed doors his shy quiet Rachel, is magically exchanged for the super hot sex goddess, Rachel that comes out every so often and blows Finn's mind (and other things). Just as he starts to unbutton his shirt, his attention is stolen by the feeling of Rachel's tiny fingers undoing his belt buckle and unzipping his fly, then impatiently pushing his pants and boxer briefs down his legs, placing little butterfly kisses interspersed with tiny nips along the skin of his thighs as they are revealed.
Breathing erratically and on the verge of overheating, Finn on reflex, winds his fingers in Rachel's hair the instant her mouth closes over his hard fully erect shaft and a hiss of lust leaves his mouth along with nearly incoherent mumblings of "Shit baby that feels sooo good" and "more on the head Chel, oh yeah"
Rachel knows how much her man enjoys fellatio, and if she is honest she likes it just as much she feels so powerful knowing she can give him such pleasure with just her mouth, so she continues sliding her tongue in an up and down motion, sucking gently on the head then taking his whole substantial length into her mouth and sucking , massaging his balls at the same time. Every few minutes humming a few notes which never failed to get him excited. after a few more minutes of him sliding in and out then touching the back of her throat she could feel his balls tightening and before he explodes he moans her name in one long breath "Cccchhheeelllllll…" then she feels his warm juices squirt straight down her throat. Swallowing every last drop, using the back of her hand to wipe her mouth, Finn pulls her up to her feet and slams his mouth on to her stealing all her breath, tasting himself, and getting turned on even more. All the while walking her carefully backwards till her legs bumped against the bed, Rachel without breaking the kiss falls backwards taking Finn with her as he continues to kiss the life out of her, his hand finding one of her boobs which he caresses through her clothing, growling when he can't get to his prize.
Frustrated with the barrier between them, Finn pulls away taking a deep breath and smirking at the groan from his girl and lets his tiny angel do the same. He then slowly undoes the tie that holds her pantsuit together and smiles cheekily as he starts to un-wrap Rachel like a parcel. Grinning, once he has accomplished his task and immediately kissing a line from her mouth over her chin, down her neck and south towards the twin mounds capped by the now hard dusky pink buds, and pressing a soft kiss on each one before closing his mouth over the entire breast and sucking gently. Pulling at Rachel's nipple with his teeth then licking it with his tongue, his lust filled moans joining with Rachel's and filling the air. He then continued with his ministrations, switching sides after a few minutes and repeating the process.
Rachel was writhing underneath Finn trying to get the release she so desperately needed. While her man was busy she walked the fingers of one hand down his shoulders and back making little tracks with her finger nails, until she reached what she was aiming for. Taking his length in her hand she started to slowly stroke him using an up down movement, pressing a little harder at the head with her thumb before using the pad of her thumb to slide back and forth across the slit. Finn couldn't take much more as he was already highly sensitive from being in Rachel's mouth. Before his tiny sex goddess really knows what is happening he has slammed his lips onto hers and is pushing his tongue inside to tangle with hers, drowning out her moans with his own. Pulling away he locks eyes and in halting breaths says.
"You Miss Berry … are a wicked girl getting me all riled up by doing those naughty things to me…, so I think it is time I practiced my interrogation techniques' for my future police career…, what do you think are you ready for me?"
"Pleeease baby, always… but I am so turned on right now by the protective Finn I saw tonight. That if you don't put Finny Jnr where he belongs really soon, I think I'm going to either explode or have to help my self and try out my 'toy'…" she motions one hand over to her night stand where Finn knows her dildo is hidden.
A loud growl answers her a second before Finn buries himself to the hilt inside her warm dripping center, then giving her a few minutes to adjust starts to move , each giving and receiving as much pleasure as possible to their soul mate. When they finally hit their peak shared whispers of "Come with me baby" are exchanged and after a coupe of final thrusts Finn and Rachel fall off the edge of the world together, their chests heaving, the bodies covered in a sheen of moisture glistening in the lamp light, and once they have returned their heart rates to normal Finn rolls over on to his back still holding Rachel against his chest, but never losing either body or eye connection with his love.
Rachel bends her neck slightly and in more breath than actual words says "I love you, and thankyou for a beautiful evening" before kissing his nose then his lips, then nuzzling her face into his neck where after a few minutes Finn could tell she had fallen asleep. Due to his emotions being heightened from what they had just shared Finn couldn't help the tears that suddenly appeared in his eyes and ran down the side of his face. Not knowing another word to describe how he feels about the woman snuggled against him. I love you doesn't seem enough, but he figures as long as she lets him love her that will be ok, and when he thinks about his future, as long as the tiny beautiful brunette is always by his side…
The best is yet to come...

Rachel is brought back to the present when she hears the shower door open and a warm presence as close as he can behind her pressing his equally naked and now 'fully awake' body against hers, and says huskily in to her neck "Now what was that about needing assistance to scrub your back, hmm?" And before Rachel can answer Finn has one large hand clamped over her right boob while the other one is flat against the slippery skin of her stomach and sliding in slow motion towards her secret place…
They make it school just before the first bell goes and by the time they collected their books and made their way to 1st period math, they find their seats with about 3 minutes to spare. The rest of the morning goes well, that is until lunch time when Finn and Rachel, who are sitting at their regular table by the warmest window in the cafeteria are suddenly interrupted by the appearance, of the three people they dislike the most in the whole school.
"Sup Finnocence, Troll face, I see you still haven't got rid of that ugly 'little growth' yet."
Finn sighs and drops his head , trying to cool his temper and choosing to ignore the nasty dig , Rachel has a tight hold of his forearm and is rubbing a thumb over a small patch of skin to help keep Finn calm. "What do you want Lopez?"
"Oh Finn you know what we want and you also know that hanging around with the likes of man hands there, is no way for prom king to behave." Quinn Fabray says and sends a phony innocent smile Finn's way and flutters her eyelashes, rubbing one hand over his tense shoulders and squeezing his bicep.
Finn shrugs off the hand with long red nails that are digging in to his skin and sighs again as he pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration before schooling his temper and saying firmly "Get away from me Fabray, there is no way in hell I'm going to prom with you…, and how many freaking times do you need to be told to LAY OFF RACHEL!"
"But she loves all the attention don't you sugar, being such a 'friendly girl' you know I heard something the other day that reminded me of you , something about a kids spinning toy top, that everyone gets a turn to play with." Bellamy sidles closer to Rachel on the bench and runs a finger down her thigh…
Then all hell breaks loose as Finn flies out of the booth and lands a couple of quick punches in Bellamy's face using his body's considerable bulk and pent up anger as a driving force behind it. It takes the combined efforts of Puck, Sam and Mike, who were sitting close by, to pull the enraged QB off the injured and dazed boy now on the floor, his face covered in blood from his more than likely broken nose and split lip. Finn manages to break free of his buddies' hold and using both hands drags the stunned and still bleeding Jackson Bellamy to his feet. Finn's handsome face a mask of hatred and in a deadly quiet but dangerous voice makes eye contact with Bellamy and says…
"Now you listen to me you bastard, and make sure you listen real good 'cause it is the one and only warning you will get and it goes for your skanky cheerleader bitches as well" he sends the girls standing nearby a hard glare and is secretly pleased to see they are cowering against the wall behind them. "You will stop with all this fucking crap and malicious lies and all your filthy comments about MY GIRLFRIEND, and if I so much as hear a whisper from either you or your groupies YOU, Bellamy will pay for it. Rachel Berry is the most special person in this school, hell in this damn town and she WILL get out of this place and become something, and with luck I'll go with her, but until then you will forget she and I exist, or you will get more of the same … Oh and Bellamy don't think you can get your 'buddies' to back you up either 'cause everyone knows you are nothing but a lying douchbag who can't take NO for an answer from a girl who is way out of your league and has never given you any attention except to tell your creepy ass repeatedly to leave her the hell alone, or even shown the slightest interest in you." Finn then removes his hands from the other boy and not caring that he collapses in a heap on the floor, turns his still hard face towards the cheerleaders and in a venomous tone spits out.
"The same goes for you two I'm sick and tired off the way you treat Rachel, she has never done anything to deserve it, so it stops right now! Do you hear me?" he doesn't even give them a chance to say anything before continuing his angry rant. "I am not now or have ever been interested in you or your slutty follow the leader behaviour, Rachel is the only woman I will ever want, so get that through your bitchy cheerleader heads, and do us all a favour and peddle your 'stuff' elsewhere and as for prom queen Fabray, I wouldn't go with you if you were the last girl on this earth, you don't deserve it. But If you are smart you will take a long hard look at yourselves and maybe oneday see that being a nasty, slutty bitch will get you nowhere in life, just because you are in the 'popular group' at this school, won't mean shit in the real world, or make you a better person than anyone else, so you might try being nicer to all the other kids as well. So listen good, the message is the same for you leave Rachel Berry alone oryour 'BOY' Bellamy and I will have another little chat!"
Finn then turns towards his tiny girl, her little face scared and her body shaking but with proud tears dripping off her chin, and he tenderly takes her hand leading her out of the booth and pressing a soft kiss on her cheek, letting her know he was ok, then guiding her from the cafeteria, towards the bathroom where he can clean the spattering of blood off his hands. As they exit the lunch room Finn can hear Puck telling everyone else,
"All right you pussies the fucking show is over and if you people were smart you would take a lesson from what just went down, and don't mess with my buddy Hudson or his woman, 'cause I'm not against helping the QB, put the beat down again, on any one of you stupid fuckers who might think it is a game to mess with him. That goes for you chicks too"
Finn was thankful that there were no teachers around but if he got into trouble he would take it, afterall he flew off the handle but he'd had enough shit from that fucker, though in hindsight he probably should have made his point in a more private place.
Thankfully there were no repercussions for Finn, resulting from the altercation with Bellamy from either him or the school, and Finn was pleased to see that anytime he and Chel, happened to be in the hallways' or cafeteria Bellamy, Lopez and Fabray, always seemed to have something else to do and turned around and walked off, the same went for the classes they shared, the others started to sit at the front, not saying a word to either Finn or Chel and if any of their friends started to say anything, or even looked in Finchels direction they were told to stop it. No one even asked Bellamy what happened to his face, it turns out he had a broken nose. He didn't need to say anything anyway, as the kids retelling the story on the McKinley grapevine spread the version of what happened that got them the most attention and from what Finn had seen plenty of phone numbers.

Junior year was winding down, and McKinley High was in a tizzy due in the most part because it was prom in a month and everywhere one looked, their eyes were bombarded with campaign posters for prom court and 'Vote for us' posters, all obviously with different couples pictured and their catch phrase, but the message was the same.
One day after school when they were in the library looking over another bundle of college information brochures' that Mrs Schuester had given them that day.
"Babe?"
"Yes Finny"
"Um you know how prom is coming up." For some reason he is nervous and starts to rub the back of his neck while licking his dry lips.
"Yes baby and I can't wait to go and spend the evening with my prince charming, I hope they play lots of slow songs." She looks up then at his nervous tone and reaches for his hand, concern crossing her face as she asks him what's wrong.
"Nothing is wrong baby I was just wondering if you ah, wanted to um… nominate for prom royalty."
"No I don't, but if you want to I will."
"No-no I don't care about a plastic crown … but I thought it would be nice for you … you know to show everyone else what I already know, that you are special and deserving of the title.' He smiles crookedly at her and shrugs his shoulders, immediately becoming concerned at the moisture he can see in Chel's big brown eyes.
"Finn Hudson I love you, but as long as you love me and really see me, that's all that matters to me, I don't need a crown from a school dance to prove anything, the way you look at me and touch me tells me that I'm special and you are the only one I want to see me, but thankyou for thinking of me. It is the same for me you know because I see you, the real you and I love everything about you, even the way you drool on your pillow when you're sleeping, and there is no one else I want ever..."
Finn leans over and cups Rachel's face in his hands and kisses her firmly, "Have I told you today I love you?"
"Yes I think so but please feel free to tell me again."
"I love you Chel and thankyou baby."
"You're more than welcome, it is my pleasure, now shall we get back to these brochures? Before we get too distracted hmm? 'Cause by the way your hand is sliding up my thigh I can tell if we spend too much more time 'discussing' this we will never get anything done."

The night of prom was finally here and so were Kurt and Blaine, who had come home for the weekend to see their families but to also, as Kurt put it,
"Help Rachel with her attire for the evening, because even if you aren't running for prom royalty (which you should have by the way), you will look like royalty, I mean how could you not being dressed by Kurt Hummel, fashionista extraordinaire, in may I say without sounding too big headed, is a simply stunning original design, that will flatter and accentuate your petite frame."
Sally was so excited to see her big brothers' and spent the entire time over dinner monopolising Kurt's attention, every now and then looking at Finn to make sure he wasn't upset, by patting his arm and 'whisper talking'
"Don't worry Finny you is still my favorite," she puts her finger to her lips "but Shh I don' want Kurtsie to gets upsets 'cause he only home for little bits, 'n I needs to talks to him and Lainey warbler. Sally was bending her brothers' ears in between mouthfuls of roast chicken and mashed potatoes, giving them a day by day recount of her life since she spoke to them last on SKYPE, (which was only the day before) but to a busy 5and ½ year old, (an eye roll and a huffy "I'm nearly 6 Finny") it probably seemed like ages. The other teenagers are trying not to laugh at the reoccurring warbler reference. Sally overheard Rachel call him Blaine Warbler once and decided if it was good enough for Rachel it was good enough for her, so she used it at every opportunity. (She had also decided that she wanted to be just like her 'big sister' when she was grown up and tried to copy most things Rachel did).
Once dinner was done and everyone was relaxing in the living room. Kurt brought out the surprises he had for both Sally and Rachel, dresses he had designed and made for them.
As he hands Rachel the opaque plastic covered hanger he says "Now Miss Berry you need to take yourself to the bathroom and put this on and don't worry it won't make you look like a sad clown hooker, I promise."
Rachel smiles widely at him as she takes the bag from his hands, and kisses his cheek in thanks, then skips off to the Finn's room to change. As she is stripping down to her underwear, she remembers the conversation she and Kurt had a few months ago at the first mention of prom.
He had told Rachel under no circumstance was she to buy her prom dress on her own, which of course had the tiny brunette starting to panic, because he had designed and was making one that will knock her knee socks off and make Finn trip over his jaw when he see's her, and of course it was pink. He also mentioned he had a folder full of wedding gown designs for when the occasion arises, which wouldn't surprise him if Finchel beat Klaine."
"Rachel? are you ready yet? Come on girl hurry up I want to see Finn's face."
"Coming Kurt, I'm just putting it on now, though with out proper shoes it won't be… Oh my! Kurt it is absolutely perfect." Rachel yells down the stairs
"Well come on then we are waiting."
"Yeah Rachie I wanna' see your pretty dress an' I wanna show you mine, Kurtsie mades me."
"Ok, Ok, I'm ready here I come."
Kurt walks to the bottom of the stairs waiting for Rachel, and as soon as he sees her on the landing, he gasps and presses a hand over his mouth. When Rachel reaches the bottom, He clears his throat and in a rather posh voice much like the announcers at fashion shows use, says as he takes her hand and leads her into the living room where they are greeted with gasps and "Awww's from Carole and Sally, "a just perfect from Blaine, and a "Oh man so beautiful baby" from Finn, Burt just claps his hands and offers a "very nice dear."
"Wearing an original Hummel design, is our model for this evening, Rachel Berry, her gown made using Chinese silk in a slightly darker rose pink for the high waisted slightly flared floor length skirt, that has a cheeky slit along one leg and a soft pink silk for the halter neck corset style bodice, the lot brought together by the diamante encrusted attached belt, that sits just under the bust."
Rachel does a little twirl to show how her gown looks from behind and giggles as he hears Finn groan when he sees how low the back is.
"Accessories to complete this ensemble would be in my humble opinion, patent peep toe heels in cerise, and a high styled up do accentuated by sparkly pins, and as for jewellery a layered choker and long earrings', and of course a matching clutch purse. Which I have already taken the liberty of obtaining in New York,"
"Baby you look stunning I love the dress, but Kurt man, all that bare skin…, Baby are you sure you don't wanna run for queen? ' Cause you'd win on sex appeal alone" A loud burst of musical giggles again leave Rachel's mouth,
"No baby I'm sure I will be more than happy to spend the evening in your arms just slow dancing and later…," she is cut off but all the adults' in the room understood what she was meaning.
"Momma what's sex 'peal" Sally looks from Rachel to Finn then Kurt and back again then to her mother, "do my dress makes me gots sex 'peal too?"
Carole is trying not to laugh at the look of horror on Burt's face, at the thought of his baby girl wearing something other than her regular dungarees', and t-shirts which if he has his way will be until she is 30.
"No baby that is only for big girls' like Rachel, and Momma's, your dress makes you look like a little princess, and Finny should know better than to say that, when little impressionable ears are about" Carole says sending her younger son a look.
"Sorry Sal but you gotta wait till your older and in high school like Chel before you can wear such nice dresses, but don't worry when it's your turn for prom I'm sure Kurtsie will make you a super pretty dress too, just one that covers all your skin. Now come give Finny a goodnight kiss, so I can get ready to take your Rachie to the dance, ok."
"You pwomise Finny"
"Yeah baby girl I promise." He gives his little sister a tight cuddle and a noisy kiss on the cheek then whispers in her ear "how's about you give Rachie a big kiss before Kurt takes her away to make her all pretty."
Aghast at the thought of anyone thinking her Rachie wasn't pretty and forgetting her whisper voice she blurts out. "But Finny, Rachie is already supa pretty just like Belle in my favrit movie" then she turns her face (which looks so much like Finn did at the same age and squints her hazel eyes at her oldest brother) to Kurt and says sternly with the added emphasis of her little hands clamped on her hips "Kurtsie you don't gotta change Rachie she is beautiful by herselfs."
Not wanting to be harangued by a nearly 6 year old, Kurt holds his hands up in defence and says "Don't worry Sal I won't change her too much but if you want to see Rachie all finished before you go to bed, I'd better get going, come on Rachel." He takes hold of Rachel's hand and leads her upstairs to his bathroom where all his magic making tools are all laid out ready to be put into action.
An hour later with everyone waiting at the bottom of the stairs, cameras at the ready Hiram and Leroy with tears in their eyes and video camera's turned on and focused at the stairs Rachel walks down taking small steps due to the sky scrapper patent leather cerise heels Kurt deemed absolutely necessary, until she reached the bottom step where Finn met her holding a plastic box containing the perfect corsage of dark pink orchids with a dark pink ribbon embossed with silver stars.
"Baby you look stunning I can't believe I get to attend junior prom with the most beautiful and sexy woman in the world, I hope you know that I'm gunna wanna see what's under that dress later on."
"Count on it handsome, I can't wait, I'm seriously thinking about missing prom and just spending the entire evening showing my studly man just how much I love him, but then it would be a shame to waste all Kurt's magic, and not shove it down the cheerleaders' throats, just how happy you make me. So lets get going and show McKinley that being yourself is everything, Cedes and Tina said they would save us seats at their table, and I heard Lauren tell Noah to make sure he wasn't late in picking her up otherwise he would be sorry, though if any of those skanky girls try to steal you away they will have to go through me, because you are MINE until the end of time."
"Those girls haven't got a chance, with you is the only place I ever want to be baby, I can't wait till later."
1500 hundred pictures later Finchel finally leave the Hudmel house, and Sally went to bed dreaming of the day she would go to her prom with her prince charming.
Prom was wonderful Rachel was voted prom princess even though she didn't nominate herself. It was apparently a new thing this year that a prom prince and princess were voted for on the night, so when Finn was voted prince and presented with a sash and was expected to dance with his princess, he couldn't get to the dance floor quick enough he even had a say in what song he wanted so when he had his arms around his girl, and the smooth dulcet tones of Steve Perry burst forth from the speakers, with the opening lines of Faithfully, all Rachel could do was reach u slightly (thanks to her heels ) and press her lips against his in a soft sweet kiss that conveyed the meaning of the classic song perfectly.
Then as Finn led his love off the floor after the last notes rang out to a round of applause all he could do was think about his future and how it would be everything he'd ever wished for as long as the petite brunette that had a tight hold on his hand and his heart was with him always. And that in the years after high school the best was yet to come…
