The world seemed fantastic again. She woke up knowing she would meet him again. Knowing they all would have a lunch as a family for the first time. Knowing he loved her, he still did, after all she had done.
She went to the bathroom, brushed her hair, changed in clean home clothes and went downstairs where her dads and Sarah already were having breakfast.
„ Rachel! „ Her dads were pretty shocked what had changed in their daughter after that evening with Finn. The day she got home she immediately went to her bedroom but, instead of crying, she was ironing her clothes, she painted her nails, she even cooked vegetarian lasagne for everyone at the evening. And this morning she was glowing – she was happy.
„ Morning! „ She kissed her dads' cheeks and then hugged Sarah.
„ Good morning, mommy! „
„ Sarah, can you please play with your dollies for a moment? „ Leroy asked as Rachel sat down. Sarah nodded and left the table.
„ Rachel, you didn't tell us what happened between you and him. „ Hiram said.
„ Dads, we spent a wonderful night together and we love each other. And we are going to be together this time. „ Rachel said and made herself a coffee.
„ Are you sure about this? Rachel, that's just fantastic! „
„ I couldn't be happier. It's like my dream has finally come true! „ Rachel exclaimed. „ And me and Sarah, we are going to have a dinner with him tonight. At Finn's house. „ Rachel said, smiling.
„ We are very happy for you , Rachel. But are you sure this is what you think, what you want it to be? „ Hiram asked.
„ I am not sure about anything. But I am going to do all I can to make us a family. I love him and I know he loves me too. „
„ Sarah, you look amazing, and how am I looking? „ Rachel asked, showing her daughter her outfit. Rachel was wearing a flowered dress that ended above her knees with her best pair of shoes which were pink pumps. She had applied a little bit make up and her hair looked amazing.
„ You look like princess mommy. „
„ Just as you, honey. „ Rachel said, caressing her daughter's face. „ Let's go, daddy's waiting for us! „ Rachel took Sarah's hand, waved goodbye to her dads and got in her car with Sarah. She checked Finn's adress again and started driving.
„ Mommy, why are we going there? „ Sarah suddenly asked.
„ Well, me and your dad, we wanted to have a dinner together, all the three of us. „
„ Are you and daddy together? „
„ Would you like us to be together? „
„ I have always wanted to have both mommy and daddy , to live with them both. „ Sarah said, really hoping she would have a real family one day.
„ We'll see , honey... „ Rachel said, dreaming about being with Finn again.
After ten minutes Rachel pulled in Finn's driveway where she recognised his black car. They both got out of the car and walked to the door.
„ How do I look? „ Rachel asked for the final time before knocking on the door.
„ The most beautiful girl on this planet . „ Rachel laughed and finally knocked on Finn's door.
After a few seconds Finn opened the door, smiling.
„ Daddy! „ Sarah hugged Finn's leg as soon as she saw him.
Finn looked down at his daughter and laughed at how cute she was. And then he looked at Rachel.
„ Hi. „ She said.
„ Hey. . „ He kissed her cheek and wrapped his arm around her for a little hug. „ You girls hungry? I tried to make something tasty.. „ Finn laughed as they both let him go.
„ I am starving, dad! „
„ Let's go then! Here is the living room, and there is the kitchen. „ Finn showed them a little of his house before they reached the kitchen. „ You can sit down. „
„ This house looks very big.. „ Rachel said, sitting down and waiting for Finn and the food.
„ Yeah, I'm in charge of Burt's tire shop and well the business has been working pretty good.. „ Finn said, finally arriving with two plates for Rachel and Sarah.
„ What are you going to drink? „
„ Do you have Fanta ? „ Sarah asked.
„ Sure , and you Rach? I have red wine, white wine .. „
„ A glass of white wine would be great. „ Rachel smiled and after two minutes Finn was back with his plate and the drinks.
„ I hope the fish is not overcooked. „ Finn laughed before they started eating.
„ Mmm, it's delicious. „ Rachel said after tasting it.
„ Daddy, you are a good chef. „ Sarah's words made her parents laugh. She was the cutest little girl in the world.
„ Well, you two should come here more often.. „ Finn said,looking at Rachel.
„ You can ask us anytime.. „ Rachel winked at Finn.
„ I definitely will. By the way you both look amazing today. „
„ We spent all day getting ready. „ Sarah said and Rachel blushed.
„ Not all day, we just wanted to look good. „ Rachel added.
„ You look beautiful, Rachel. And you too, Sarah. You two are the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. „ Finn said,placing his hand on Rachel's as he saw she was a bit stressed.
„ Thank you, mister handsome. „ Rachel laughed . She had to admit it, she was stressed. But when she felt Finn's hand on hers, it all was gone. The stress, the being unsure, she knew he wanted it as much as she.
The dinner was wonderful, they talked about their favorite music, movies, they all explored each other more and more. And the looks Finn and Rachel gave each other, they were so in love with each other.
„ How about a movie? „ Finn asked as he had put all the dishes away.
„ I love movies! „ Sarah yelled in happiness.
„ And you Rach? „
„ I love spending time with you two.. „
„ Why don't we go to the cinema? Have you seen the new Ice Age? „ Finn asked, leading them out of the kitchen.
„ We wanted to see it, but didn't have time ! „ Rachel said,laughing.
„ Yayy! „
„ Ready to go ? „ Finn asked , taking his car keys and wallet.
„ Ready. „ Rachel said, smiling in excitement. She wasn't interested in the movie, she loved the company.
Finn led them out of the house,wrapping his arm around Rachel.
„ I am so happy you both came today. „ He whispered in her ear while Sarah had already reached Rachel's car.
„ I am so happy you invited us. „ She said and kissed him. They both stopped for a moment ,looking into each other's eyes.
„ That's because I love you both. „ He said and kissed her again,not noticing his brother on the street, watching them.
„ Finn? „ Kurt yelled,walking closer to the couple. „ What are you doing with her? „
As soon as they saw Kurt Rachel moved a bit from Finn.
„ Kurt, we have decided to try to be together. „ Finn said.
„ What? „ He was shocked. „ No, Finn. She lied to you, she hid your child who looks very beautiful „ Kurt looked at Sarah before continuing his speech. „ You can't forgive her! Rachel, we all are very disappointed in you and I hope I will never get to see you again in a situation like this. You made my brother miss the most important moments of his real daughter's life! You don't deserve his love. „ Kurt's words made Rachel cry. He was so right, he was right – but she was sorry, she regretted it!
„ Kurt, I know what she did and I am not happy about it. But I love her. „
„ Are you sure? Maybe you just want to be with her, you truly don't understand how bad she is? How can you be with a woman who hid your daughter for ten years and now is back with a sorry! Finn, if you get back together with her, no one will appreciate this. Use your chance, spend time with this little girl, but forget her. You can find someone much better. „ Kurt's words hurt. Hurt for Rachel, and what hurt the most was Finn's reaction.
„ It will be better if you two go home now. „ Finn said.
„ That's right, Finn. Rachel, no offence but I only want the best for my brother. „ Rachel didn't want to listen to her friend , she unlocked her car.
„ Get in honey.. „ She told Sarah who had a few tears in her eyes too.
„ But the movie.. and daddy? „ Sarah asked.
„ There is no movie and no daddy.. „ Rachel said, getting in the car and letting all the tears roll down her face.
„ But mommy.. „ What hurt even more was to see her child crying .
„ I am so sorry, sweetie. „ Rachel leaned over and hugged Sarah. „ So sorry I ruined your lives.. „ She kissed Sarah's forehead and turned on the engine.
„ Are we going home? „ Sarah asked.
„ Yes we are.. „ Rachel answered, knowing her life sucked again.
She thanked God her parents were out of the town this weekend. She unlocked the door of the house and Sarah immediately ran to her room.
„ Sarah, I'm sorry! „ Rachel yelled.
„ I'm so sorry.. „ The next time she said it , she said in silently, just to herself. She lied down on the couch, she didn't want anything. This time it hurt more, this time she had hoped it all would be perfect once in her life. Now it all was gone.
And it began again.
She spent her days sleeping and crying. She didn't go out for a few days after that, then she went out for chocolates that would make her feel a bit better. Two weeks passed with no sign of Finn but sign of something Rachel didn't expect.
Sign of pregnancy.
Her period was four days late, she was eating a lot of chocolate, she had been sick for a few days. She remembered that one night she spent with Finn, they were so in love again that they didn't even think about protection.
She couldn't go out right now. Her dads would want Sarah to accompany her or even worse they would come with her. But she needed that test, she had to have it. The only person she could call here was.. was Kurt. Who hated her, who made Finn not like her anymore. But she had no other choice, she had to do it. She dialed his number for a few times and he of course didn't answer.
I know I am not your friend anymore and you hate me and want me to have nothing to do with you or your brother but.. I really need your help. Maybe after that you will never have to talk to me again.
Rachel typed the text with tears, he used to be her friend.
After ten minutes her phone started ringing.
„ Kurt, I am so thankful you called, I really need your help. „ Rachel said, the fact she's crying noticeable in her voice.
„ I am going to help you if it has something to do with Finn's child. „
„ It probably has.. „
„ Can you be clear? „
„ I need a pregnancy test. „ Rachel said, bursting into tears again.
„ Please tell me it is not Finn's child. „
„ If there is a child.. it is Fi – „ Rachel wanted to finish the sentence but the phone started beeping. She couldn't believe he did it. She collapsed on her bed and cried for twenty minutes until Kurt came in her room.
„ Kurt, thank you so much. „ She immediately stood up as she saw him there.
„ Take these. I will wait for the results. „ He said, sitting on the edge of her bed when he handed her the tests.
„ Thank you, you don't even know how important it is for me. „ Rachel said, closing the bathroom's door and doing what she had to do.
After two minutes she came out of the bathroom with two of the tests.
„ I need to wait. „ She said, sitting down next to him.
She couldn't say nothing.
„ How is he? „
„ He wants to meet Sarah again. „ What Kurt didn't say was that Finn wanted to meet Rachel too. That he loved her, he cried for her, he wanted to be with her.
„ He will be able to do it whenever he wants. „ Rachel sighed. „ Maybe you were right, I don't deserve him, he is too good for me. „
„ Do you understand how wrong was your decision to make Sarah like only yours? „
„ But I came here, I apologised, he told me he still wanted to be with me.. „
„ Yeah, you are his first love , of course he will forgive you that easily, but you hurt all of us. How do you think Carole feels when she gets to know she didn't have a chance to spoil her granddaughter? How do you think Burt felt when he got to know that they all had missed ten years of her life? „
„ I promise, this will never happen again. „
„ Of course it won't. „ Kurt said. „ Do you know the results yet? „
Rachel looked at her clock and realised it was time.
She stood up and took the tests from her table, they both had the same result which made her collapse on the floor.
„ I can't do this again.. „ She cried, holding the test.
„ Oh God.. „ Kurt said as he saw his old friend in this situation. For a moment he left his anger in the second place. He got on the floor with her and hugged her. „ It will be okay this time. „
„ It won't ! Finn wants nothing to do with me... We were so happy for those few hours, so happy, I thought it would be good again but then.. „ Rachel cried into Kurt's shirt. „ I love him so much... „
„ He loves you too.. „ Suddenly Kurt realised he had switched off the good brother mode and he was now a good friend. He saw Rachel's pain, he knew she couldn't turn the time back, but he had to let her do it right now.
„ You told me he didn't want anything with me.. „
„ I didn't let him. But Rachel, I was selfish. You are having his child now, I don't want you to go through this alone again. I forgive you. „
„ Thank you so much, Kurt.. You don't even know how hard it was to raise Sarah alone, how much I regret that I didn't tell him.. „
„ This time, this time will be different. Dress up, I am driving you to Finn's house, you are going to tell him. „ Kurt got up and walked to her closet to pick her some beautiful clothes.
„ Why are you doing this to me, you hate me. „ Rachel said, taking one of her dresses Kurt gave her.
„ Because... I just saw you from a different side, I just realised that your life has been tough enough.. You don't need to go through this again alone, and Finn deserves to finally have his true love. Get ready , Rachel. „
„ Thank you, Kurt. „ She said,taking the dress and locking herself in the bathroom, getting ready. She was about to meet him again, and this time it was either being together or never being a couple again.
She knocked on Finn's door as soon as Kurt left. She wanted to run away before he opened the door, she didn't want to face the pain if he rejected her.
„ Rachel.. „ Finn said as he opened the door and saw her.
„ Finn, we need to talk. „
„ Come in . „
„ Can we sit down? „ Rachel asked as she walked in Finn's house.
„ Sure, what did you want to talk about? „
Finn watched her as she sat down, she looked so worried about , she bursted into tears.
„ Rach.. „ Finn wrapped his arms around her. „ What's wrong? „
„ I need to tell you something. „ Rachel placed her hands on his chest and looked at him. „ There are three words I never told you. But I need to do it right this time, I need to tell you. „ She stopped for a moment before told him the truth.
„ What's it? „
„ I am pregnant. „ She waited for his reaction,yelling, leaving her.
„ Don't cry, don't cry.. „ He hugged her again as she started crying. „ It will be okay, you have me this time. We will do this together, we will marry each other, you and Sarah could live with me, it will be okay, Rach.. „
„ Really? „ A smile appeared on her face as Finn said it.
„ I've been thinking about you these weeks. I don't care what everyone thinks, I love you. And we are going to raise this child together. „ He placed his hand on her belly.
„ I love you too. And though it is not planned, I love him or her too. „ Rachel said after placing her hand on Finn's .
„ I can't believe we finally are going to be a family, that we are going to have another child. „
„ I can't believe this time I am not alone. I am so happy I have you. „
„ It seems you will be happy all your life then. „ He laughed and kissed her.
