Chapter 10

July 24th, 2012

It was the day Finn and Rachel were moving into their apartment at OSU. Both of them were excited. Everything was becoming perfect. Rachel was showing more and Finn enjoyed it. He loved waking up every morning to see her baby bump. He would kiss it and talk to their babies. It was his favorite morning activity before he got up to make Rachel breakfast before he went to Burt's shop.

Rachel was getting a box out of the back of Finn's truck. Finn grabbed it out of her hands and said, "I don't think so, momma. You are not going to do anything to hurt our babies."

Rachel put her hands on her hips and told him, "It is not going to hurt me or them to carry a box. I have to help move us in."

"Nope. You are supervising. Quinn, Burt, mom and Santana are helping. You don't need to worry about any of it. I want you to sit down and relax."

"Finn Christopher Hudson, I am pregnant not useless."

"I know, baby. I just don't want you to worry about this. I want you to stay healthy. I just don't want to see you overdo yourself when you don't have to."

"Fine. I'll make everyone some lemonade or tea. I just have to do something. I can't stand around while you all are doing so much to get things ready for us to live here."

"Lemonade would be nice. Rach, we will be moved in before you know it. We get to start our life here soon. I can't wait to start shopping for our babies."

Rachel gave Finn a hug and deep kiss. Then she heard, "Berry and Frankenteen are looking rather cozy getting ready to move into their new place. Finally getting out of mom and dad's place."

Rachel and Finn turned around to see no other than, Puck. Finn stepped a step in front of Rachel and asked, "What are you doing here, Puckerman?"

Puck laughed and said, "I have a right to know how my kids are doing, don't I? I mean I was stupid to leave the way I did. I want to be in their lives. I want to know about my kids and be there for them."

Rachel had recently developed a protective nature over herself, Finn and her babies. She raised her voice, "You have NO right to show up like this! You left almost two months ago. You didn't even look back. You didn't call! You didn't do anything! You were my best friend! I was going through one of the hardest times of my life, because of YOU, and you left!"

"Rach…"

"Don't pull that crap on me. I don't have to deal with this. The babies may not even be yours! Finn and I made love two weeks before I spent the night with you. I don't know why I even told you they could be yours. I should have known you would still leave me, leave us. I have Finn and he is all I need. I am pregnant, hormonal and just plain angry at you. I don't want to look at you."

Puck just looked at her. He was speechless.

Quinn came out and asked, "Rach, what is going…" She trailed off when she saw Finn standing glaring at Puck angrily. Rachel was in tears as she tried to push past Finn to get to Puck.

Quinn grabbed her and pulled her to her chest. She said, "Calm down, Rach. Remember the babies. Why don't you and Finn go inside? Send Tan out here."

Rachel looked up at Finn. Finn said, "I'm not going inside until he is gone!"

Rachel ran in the house to get Santana.

Santana caught the tiny girl as she crashed into her. She asked, "What is the matter, Berry?"

Rachel looked up at her, like she looked up at everyone. She sighed and the tears started falling. She gasped for air as she managed, "Puck. Outside."

Santana ran outside. She started yelling in incoherent Spanish. Then she finally said, "Puckerman, get out of here. You were the one that ran off. You have no right to be back now. You can't up and decide that you want to come back. Rachel is not your little play toy. She is married and happy. She is in love with Finn and those babies. You can't take away that from her. She has so much more on her plate than she needs right now. You don't need to add to it. I thought tiny and I made it clear to you at the wedding."

Finn said, "You were at my wedding? Get away from me and my wife. You have no right to be here. All you do is stress Rachel out and leave me to pick up the pieces. I don't want you here messing things up. You have already done that to me before. I am not going to let the babies' health be put in danger because of you."

Burt came out and asked, "What is the trouble out here? Carol is in there consoling Rachel. She is devastated."

Quinn told Puck, "You need to leave. You gave up any right to your children the day you left when Rachel risked everything to tell you that they were your babies. You are a jerk. You know that and we all know it. You had your chance, but you let it go. Rachel was your best friend. I would hate to see how you treat your enemies if that is how you treat your best friend."

Puck said, "I get it. Leaving was wrong. I am a terrible person for coming back, but I can't stop thinking about those babies, my babies. Rach is carrying my babies. She is having my babies."

Finn told him, "Get it through your thick skull. They are not your babies. They were never yours. You are not the one that gets two am tacos, holds her when she cries because of the jerk you were, talks to the babies every night and works ten hour shifts every chance that comes to save up money for them. You may be their father, but I will always be their dad. You may not even be your father. Rach doesn't know which one of us it is and that is going to be the first thing that is found out after their weight and health."

"Frankenteen, the only reason you are with Rachel is because of MY kids. There is no way the two of you would be together without them. Rachel would be in New York and you would be moping around a dorm room wondering what if."

"At least I had the guts to put everything on the line to be a dad. Get out of here. Leave my family alone."

"Your family is half my family, dude. I am not going to leave without a fight. I'm never going to walk away like that again. My kids need me. I'm not going to be like my dad."

Quinn told him, "Puck, leave. Rachel is under enough stress without you added into it all. She has the health of the babies to consider and you are not making that easy for her. All she has been able to do for the last month is think about YOUR babies. Let her have a life. Let her and Finn have the life of a married couple. Stop getting in the way of everything. You need to off to Nashville or LA and let everyone move on."

Puck found himself in tears. "I can't let you take my babies away. I just can't let you. I want to be in their lives. I want to see them for myself."

Finn sighed and said, "Man, you just can't come in here out of the middle of nowhere. We are going to let you be involved, but you just can't show up like this. All it does is upset Rach and none of us need that. She hated that you weren't at the wedding, but it was all because of you that it all happened. You left and her dads wanted nothing to do with us. Rach feels so alone no matter what we all do to try and help. She really down and it kills me. The last thing I need is her to be even more upset. I'm just trying to keep her and the babies healthy."

Puck took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I really am. That is really why I can't. I wanted Rach to know that I am sorry for everything. I'll go. Just tell Rach that I'm sorry and really want to know about the babies if she will still involve me."

"I will. I need to go check on her."

Finn ran in the apartment to find Rachel curled up in Carol's lap sobbing. Finn rushed over to her. She sat up and wrapped herself around Finn. She said, "Why did this have to happen to us? We were doing great and then he shows up. I don't want this to ruin everything."

"Puckerman couldn't ruin this if he wanted to. Those are my babies you are carrying, I know it. We are going to get through this just like we have gotten through everything else thrown at us. Everything this going to be okay. You and the babies are going to be healthy. We are going to get through school and have a perfect family."

"I love your scenarios. I'm sorry I freaked out the way that I did. I didn't know what else to do."

"You don't have to worry about anything. He is gone. He wants to be involved with things with the babies, but I told him that it wouldn't be right now. There is no much you are going through and you don't need this, too. He understands that he messed up and I think he is genuinely sorry. When you are up to it you should probably call him and figure things out in case they are his kids. He should be in their lives if he is their dad."

"You are right. I just can't do it right now. I start work tomorrow and we find out the genders next month. There is so much to do."

"I know, baby. It is all up to you if you want to or when you want to call him. This is all about what you think is best for you and the babies."

"Thank you for always being here and doing everything that you do for me. I just can't wait for our alone time tonight. I think I have some thanking you to do."

Finn laughed. "You are so cute. That is just why I love you so much."

Quinn and Santana came in the apartment with the last boxes. Quinn said, "Puck is gone and this is the last of your things. Burt is checking to make sure we got everything, but I'm sure it is. Are you okay, Rach? Do you need anything?"

Santana said, "Rach, you know we will be here for you and the little squirts. You have nothing to worry about. You know I will go all Lima Heights on anyone that messes with you, Frankenteen and your spawns."

Rachel smiled at them as she continued to cling to Finn. She told them, "Thank you so much for everything. The two of you are great. I'm so glad to have your friendship. Our children are going to be so lucky to have the two of you watching out for them. They are going to love their godmothers just as much as Finn and I love you."

Quinn said, "Don't get all sappy on us. We have been family for the last three years and that isn't going to change now."

Rachel laughed and told them, "I'm sorry. It's these awful hormones. They make me into a horrible person. I can't wait to get these babies out of me and become normal again."

Finn kissed her head and said, "Oh no, you aren't going to rush it. You are going to carry our babies full term and all three of you are going to be healthy when they get here. You have nothing to worry about. You know we will all be here for you."

Santana told her, "Berry, I think I like the hormones on you. The way you went after Puck was awesome. You are going to be a great mom. I know your kids aren't going to have to worry about anyone messing with them because you won't let it happen."

Rachel laughed. "You got that right. No one is going to mess with my little Hudsons and get away with it."

The room erupted into laughter. Finn couldn't take his eyes off of his wife. Seeing her upset had made him angry, but also very proud of her. He knew she was going to be a wonderful mom. No one was going to walk all over her like they did in high school.

Rachel and Finn were lying on their bed in their new apartment. Finn was lying next to Rachel when she looked up at him and said, "I love you."

Finn smiled. "I love you, too. What brought that up?"

"I just wanted you to know. I don't tell you that enough. You are going to be a great dad. Thank you for taking care of the Puck situation this afternoon. I was so scared. I didn't know what to do."

"You have nothing to worry about. I'll always be there for you and our peanuts. I'm not going to let anyone hurt any of you. You have my word."

Rachel put her hand on her stomach. "Finny, I can't wait for you to feel the babies. Right now they feel like little butterflies in my stomach. Just about another month and you should be able to feel them."

Finn put his hand on her stomach and leaned down to kiss it. He said, "Hi babies. This is your daddy again. You need to kick harder so I can feel you. I want in on the fun, too. It is hard to believe you are going to be here in a little more than five months. I want to meet you. You are going to be beautiful just like your mommy. I love you so much. You have no idea how special the two of you already are to so many people."

Rachel giggled as Finn peppered her stomach with kisses. Rachel looked down and said, "Babies, you have one amazing daddy. I just can't wait for you to get here and for us to be a family. You know, mommy wanted to go off to Broadway and be a star, but you had other plans for me. I want you to realize I wouldn't trade you for anything. Mommy would so much rather have you and your daddy than Broadway any day."

Finn said, "Don't listen to your mommy. She is going to be on Broadway some day. The three of us are going to be sitting in the front row cheering her on."

Rachel leaned up and kissed Finn. She loved the picture of their future that he painted. "Finn, I love you. Thank you for believing that I will still be able to do Broadway in the future. Thank you for believing in me, in general. You are and will always be my knight in shining armor. I know you will be the same for our babies."

"Okay, momma. You need to get some sleep. I'm going to make you breakfast in the morning before I go to practice and you go to work."

Rachel smiled. "That sounds wonderful. I hate that now that we are in school we won't be seeing a lot of each other."

"We have classes together for Gen Eds. I'll be home at six from football practice."

"I work tomorrow from ten to five. I'll try to have dinner ready for you when you get home."

"You don't have to worry about that. What I want you to worry about right now is curling up in my arms and getting some sleep."

Rachel did as he had said. She looked up at him and asked, "Will you sing to us?"

"It would be my pleasure." Finn sang Faithfully to Rachel and their unborn children. He looked down and found Rachel sound asleep breathing deeply as she rested against his chest.
