Rachel looks out the window next to her on the airplane and sighs in relaxation when she hears the flight attendant announce that they will be in Lima Ohio in a half an hour. As she's buckling her seatbelt, she turns towards the two passengers next to her: her ex fiance, and her best friend. Kurt wanted the aisle seat so he could adjust his hair whenever he wanted to and Finn's in the middle, believe it or not. It took many hours of explaining to be done in order for Rachel to give Finn a seat, since he's a ghost. She used the "I need a second seat to put the rest of my suitcases on" excuse. Surprisingly, Kurt believed her and she had to pack twice as much as she usually would in order for it to happen. Finn was even chivalrous enough to hold them for her.

As Finn was asleep, Rachel watched as his chest rose and sunk in quick breaths as if he were hyperventilating. It's probably due to him being a ghost she thought watching him. She used to do this when they were together and when he was… alive. Strange enough, the glare from the sunset made Finn look like he was actually alive; like anyone can just reach out and touch him. Rachel didn't know how this whole 'spirits' thing worked, but she was sure, that wasn't supposed to happen. She also noticed that last week when she hugged Finn, she actually felt warmth radiate off of him. It was creeping her out more and more over time.

"Mmm". Finn murmured as he stirred in his passenger seat.

"Hey sleepyhead. How'd you sleep?" Rachel asked quietly, mindful of Kurt wide awake sitting two seats down.

"Mmm fine." He yawned stretching. When he looked at the brunette he gave her a dazed look that turned out to be the most adorable expression she's seen on him. Rachel smiled.

"You should put on your seatbelt. We're almost there."

"Okay. Where are we going after the plane ride is over?" Finn asked while buckling his seatbelt. Rachel leaned into his side and whispered in his ear.

"Well I was thinking that the first thing we could do was go to your mom's house. Kurt needs to see her and you do too." As Finn nodded in understanding a confused expression grew on his face.

"Good plan, but my mom will end up seeing me when Kurt's in the house."

"Well that's the difficult part. I could distract Kurt by telling him that Blaine needs him so you can go in and talk to your mom." Suddenly his frown lines disappeared as if all of his worries were gone. Rachel almost gasped at this because she hasn't seen it in a while.

"Oh ok. When are you gonna tell him?" He asked leaning in as if there's a possibility that Kurt can hear him. As he leaned in Rachel caught a glance of Finn's translucent eyes. As she's looking into them, she can't help but find herself being compelled to the strangely interesting hue of gray orbs that is staring back at her. Suddenly, a glint of hazel flashed over his eyes; giving it it's natural color back. Rachel gasped. But before she could question the sudden change of color, it flashed back to it's normal dull shade.

"Rach?" Finn asked touching her shoulder; shaking lightly. Looking at him now, the brunette sees his panicked expression, which causes her to jump out of her reverie.

"U-Um what was the question again?" she asked looking at a concerned Finn.

"I asked you when you were going to tell Kurt that he has to go visit Blaine. Are you ok?" He asked searching her face. Rachel nodded.

"I guess i'll tell him now." she said softly; still shaken to the core. Finn nodded reluctantly, as rachel reached behind him to tap Kurt on the shoulder, who's listening to music, while reading last month's Vogue magazine.

"KURT!" Rachel said loudly, in order to get her friends attention.

"Yes? What is it Rachel?" he said finally turning towards the brunette after three attempts to get his attention.

"First of all, you need to buckle your seat. We're about to land. And second of all, Blaine just text me. He tried to call you but you weren't answering so…"

"Ok….. so what did he say?" Kurt asked; curious.

"He told you to meet him at his house after you visit Carol. Something about wedding plans?" When Kurt nodded and told her thank you, she leaned back in her seat; satisfied when the plane started slowly descending towards their destination. Finn looked at her in awe.

"Nice lie. You were born for acting." she laughed.

"Yeah well…."

"No i'm serious you know your stuff Rach.." Finn said quietly as they landed.

"W-well thank you." She said staring at her lap.

"You're welcome." Finn said, a smile in his voice.

Kurt and Rachel walk up the Hudmel's porch steps; Finn in tow and Kurt knocks on the door. Finn does the routine as planned and hides behind the shrubs in the front yard.

The door opens and Finn can hear Carol's warm- yet desolate greeting as she ushers Rachel and Kurt inside. He sighed. 'I guess I'll see her when I get the chance.' He thought.

FRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRRFRF

"So Rachel how have you been?" Carol asked; and earnest smile on her face.

"I'm g-great Carol. H-How are you you?" Rachel said with a smile.

"I-I'm fine sweetie." She sighed. "You know it's still hard everyday but... I'm getting better you know?" She exclaimed feigning happiness. But Rachel can see it in her eyes. She wasn't fine. She can read them like a book; just like she could do with Finn.

'She'll be fine soon.' She thought, a smirk on her face. In the corner of her eye, the brunette can see Kurt giving her confused glances due to her facial expression. He wouldn't understand.

'Finns probably sore from staying behind that shrub.' She thought. It's time to get this over with. She turned towards Kurt.

"Kurt are you ready to go meet Blaine? He said that he needs your venue advice for the wedding." He gasped.

"Shoot! I almost forgot. Blaine's gonna end up mixing up the reception room with the church and we most definitely have to get that straight. Thanks Rachel. I'll see you later Carol for dinner." He said as he hugged Carol and kissed me on the cheek before sprinting out of the house. Rachel took a deep breath and took a seat beside the broken mother.

"So where's Burt?"

"Oh he's at the shop. He'll be back in an hour." Rachel nodded slowly in response.

"So Carol I need tell you something. Something that may be so absurd that you may be angry at me, but you'll understand once I explain it to you; when we explain it to you." Rachel watched as Carol frowned in confusion at the term 'we'.

"Um... Ok. Tell me honey."

"W-Well did Finn ever tell you what he got me for Christmas that senior year?" Again Carol was confused as to why she was mentioning a time two years ago. She nodded anyways.

"Yeah Finn told me that he got you some African South pig." Rachel shook her head.

"W-Well that wasn't all. H-He got me a pair of earrings and a-a star." Her eyes widened in surprise.

"Really a star?" Rachel nodded yes, a smile spreading on her face. "Yeah he named it after himself and he said and I quote "whenever you get lonely, you can look up at the sky and no matter where I am, just know that i'm always looking down at you." Rachel closed her eyes reminiscing in that particular moment and opened her eyes to find Caroles eyes filled with fresh tears. One slipped down her cheek.

"W-Wow". she the woman said speechless. "I-I didn't know my Finn was that deep." She said with a watery laugh. Rachel nodded in agreement..

"Anyways, f-for the past few months all i've been doing is talking to Finn through the star; weather it's telling him about my day or asking him for advice; something that I always did when he was… you know alive."

"Honey I understand what you're trying to say but you're sort of depressing me a little." She chuckled softly."W-Why exactly are you telling me this." Rachel took in Carol's puzzled expression and mentally decided to just go out with the secret.

"Mrs. Hummel what i'm trying to say is… I saw Finn. He was in New york with me a-as a spirit and he came back to heaven for the both of us and he's here right now." When the diva finished she squinted her eyes for a second; afraid of the pending response afterwards. When she realised that she didn't get one yet, she slowly opened her eyes and saw the concerned, motherly expression on Carol's face.

"Honey… are you sure you're feeling ok? Are you seeing things?"

"N-No! I'm seriou-"

"Because this can be a symptom of PTSD. Christopher had it after he was discharged from the army." Rachel took a deep breath and tried to calm her frustration towards the woman.

"I guess i'll have to show her." Rachel muttered looking down at the floor.

"What was that?" Carol asked bewildered.

"Carol I have to show you something. I'll be right back." She said turning around, towards the direction of the front door. Rachel can already feel her heart beat in the rhythm of a drum solo; something she knows is not healthy. It was the moment of truth….

FRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFR

Finn turns his head in the direction of the creaking front door; ducking in case his mother walks out. Thankfully, it was only Rachel.

"So-So how did it go?" He asked as he faced the brunette.

"I talked to her and… it's time.

FRFRFRFRFRFRFRFFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRFRF

Rachel walked back in the house and took a deep breath when she saw Carol stand up. She finally spoke.

"Y-You can come in now." Rachel stepped back and watched as Finn slowly entered his home smiling nervously at a suddenly pale Carol.

"Hey mom." Finn said; walking towards her, his arms stretched out. Then as if his voice was an icebreaker, Carol screamed and collapsed to the floor unconscious.
