Rachel was just finishing filling out some papers for a patient she just had a therapy session with. She really loved her new job. The hospital was able to let her start doing adolescence therapy, where she could talk with teens who were going through emotional issues, but she was also able to talk with kids with physical disabilities as well. Parts of her wished she could open up about her own personal shit with Jesse and all, because you know, expressing your feelings felt good to let out. But she knew she couldn't do that. She truly loved working with other kids and she was perfectly aware that she couldn't make everything about her.

After she turned in the papers to the main office, she went back to her own office to organize some things, forgetting to close the door. She heard two small knocks on the door and turned around to see Finn with a huge bright smile on his face and a teenage boy in a wheelchair. The boy had short, brown hair, wore glasses, and dressed kind of nerdy. But, cute nerdy in a way. "Finn! Hi!" She said with a smile. "This is Artie." Finn introduced the boy to Rachel. "He's your new patient. His parents wanted him to do adolescent therapy. Here's his file." He passed it to Rachel. "I'll just leave you two guys here and I'll be back to pick you up in an hour, Artie." Finn said walking to the door. "Whatever, it's not like a give a shit." Artie replied coldly. Rachel stared at the boy with wide eyes. He just sounded and seemed so depressed. He must've gone through something miserable to make him act that way. She walked back to her desk to look over Artie's file while Finn was trying to talk to Artie and get some positivity into him.

The poor kid was in a wheelchair for god's sake. He got into a severe car accident when he was 11, and has suffered major emotional issues and depression ever since. Finn was trying to comfort Artie in every way he could while Rachel finished going over his file. "We all wanna see you get better, man. I'll be back to pick you up in an hour." Finn got up and left giving Rachel a sad smile to wish her luck for her session with Artie.

After finishing her session with Artie, Rachel tiredly walked to the cafeteria. Her session with Artie was tough, but she understood his struggles, he had a horrible attitude within the whole session, but it was Rachel's job to be professional about it, no matter how impatient she was feeling inside. She did feel like because it was going to become a regular thing, Artie would start to open up and warm up to her.

"Hey Rachel!" Finn called after her, shaking Rachel out of her thoughts about her session with Artie. "Save me a seat in the cafeteria for lunch. I'll meet you there." He said as he walked by her. "You got it! See you there!" Rachel smiled and Finn smiled back at her with a wink. She then started to think about how much she was enjoying life in Lima. She had a good paying job, had great co workers who were also good friends to her, she just felt really happy. She didn't even remember feeling as happy back in Columbus. Rachel was starting to feel like herself again, though she also believed that staying in Lima could be a nice way of discovering herself a little more. She was pretty young, after all.

She entered the cafeteria noticing Kurt, sitting with Mercedes and Tina, while he waved at her to come sit with them. She walked over to the table quickly to tell them that she'll be right back so she could get her food. While waiting in line for her food, she could overhear a conversation between two fellow female employees. "Did you hear that Dr. Fabray went out on a date with the new porter, Finn Hudson last week? I heard it was horrible." One woman said. The other woman laughed it off and said "Yeah, I heard he couldn't pay for their dinner." The other woman replied, "I wonder if they warned him about her and her personality. If so, he should've just listened to them and kept away from her. Everyone here knows how hard it is to get along with Dr. Fabray." "I feel bad for him. Good luck trying to find another date in the hospital." One of the women snickered.

Rachel could feel her blood boil and decided to step in and interrupt. Finn was her friend and though they didn't know each other that long, she was not going to let anyone talk about him like that. If anything, Rachel thought he deserved so much more than Quinn Fabray. She sounded like a despicable human, to be honest. "Excuse me." Rachel interrupted. She felt like she just had to step in. "I'm sorry to eavesdrop on your conversation, but may I just let you two ladies know though it may seem like so after hearing about his date with Quinn Fabray, Finn Hudson is not a charity case. He is one of the most warm hearted and sweetest gentlemen I have ever met. I would feel sorry for any woman who couldn't see that. And while I may not know Dr. Fabray personally, I wouldn't be gossiping about her."

The two women stared at Rachel with wide eyes. It seemed like they weren't aware that Rachel was a new employee at the hospital because they were looking at her like they've never seen her before. Without saying a word back to Rachel, they just walked back together to their table. Rachel felt proud of herself for confronting them. She turned around to find Finn staring at her. "Hey, um, what was that all about?" Finn asked her curiously. "Oh, that? That was nothing. I just like to stick up for my friends. That's all." Rachel shrugged to him. "You don't have to stand up for me, Rachel. I was kind of expecting for that to happen, anyway." Finn replied.

"That still doesn't make it okay, Finn." Rachel said. "And I care about you and you're my friend, I'm gonna stand up for you no matter what." Finn looked at her with a sweet smile on his face. "You're really something else, Rachel. Thanks for sticking up for me." Finn replied.

Finn and Rachel ended up sitting together with Tina, Mercedes, and Kurt during lunch, just enjoying each other's company. Rachel had a ridiculously hard time not looking at Finn. Every now and then, she would look down at her lunch to try and hide her blush and ignore the butterflies in her stomach. Oh man, she was really crushing on Finn, now. OMG OMG OMG OMG. The whole lunch, Finn never left her side. She knew that she and Finn were currently friends, but she couldn't help but feel hope for something more, especially after Quinn was such a bitch to him.

Rachel got back to work shortly after lunch. Looking over some more of her patient's files and seeing what she was in for with this job, same old, same old. It may seem boring, but she was actually looking forward to it. She loved being a therapist and always showed a great amount of appreciation and love towards her patients. She was getting lost in her work when she heard a knock on her door. She walked over to the door and opened it. A beautiful, blonde woman in a lab coat was standing in front of her.

"Hello, may I help you?" Rachel asked politely. "Yes, My name in Dr. Quinn Fabray and I need to discuss one of my patients with you." Quinn replied without a smile. Rachel did her best to hide the surprising look in her eyes. Quinn Fabray. She couldn't help but feel intimidation inside of her. God, Quinn was absolutely gorgeous. Just looking at her made Rachel feel like she could never be as beautiful as her. She could definitely see why Finn was so obsessed with her. "Um, of course. Please, come in and take a seat." Rachel kindly offered. "No, I'd rather stand." She replied coldly. Rachel just gave the woman a small smile of agreement in return. "So, how may I help you?" Rachel asked.

"I'm feeling a little unsure about your therapy for one of my patients, Jackson Henry." Rachel felt a frown on her face. Jackson Henry was an elderly man who was diagnosed with alzheimer's. Rachel actually really liked him. "I only agreed to it because his children suggested it for him, but he's had a couple of sessions already and I don't think it's helping him." Quinn continued. "I have a brain scan scheduled for him next week. I will give you the results by then." Quinn said. "Of course. Let me know if you would like to discuss any more treatment options." Rachel replied. Quinn nodded then left the room. Finn then came to Rachel's office noticing Quinn walk out of there. He felt his heart sink. Little did he know that Rachel could see him from afar. She could see the sadness and heartbreak in his eyes. It definitely seemed like Finn really liked Quinn. While thinking about it, Rachel couldn't prevent the self doubt that was hitting her. Quinn was just so damn beautiful. Rachel thought that she could never be as beautiful as her. Finn definitely had a type, and that type was something Rachel could never be. She felt a sense of stupidity inside of her because she was starting to have romantic feelings toward Finn, but she knew that Finn would probably never feel the same.
