Chapter Ten: Can We Talk?

… Finn sighed as Rachel rolled off of him laughing as she got dressed and tossed him his shorts. Declan had bad timing Finn had come to notice and it was starting to make him go insane. It happened all the time now when he and Rachel were behind closed doors; a small knock, a mad rush to get redressed, and then Declan asleep between them. This night was no different as Rachel let Declan in and Finn lifted him up and over himself into the middle of the bed.

The three of them fell asleep soon after the interruption, they had a busy month ahead of them. Finn has intense physical therapy every day up until the 11th of June so he could walk into the awards with Declan and Rachel without the crutch, Rachel and most of the Broadway community had rehearsals for the performances they would be putting on at the Tony's, and with Declan at kindergarten now they had no idea what to do with whatever free time they had.

They were working on getting into a new pattern with Declan at school. Most of the time they didn't know what to do with their time, Finn was trying to find a job and was considering becoming a detective with less work in the city at night unless needed. Usually though they sat and talked, about university and even about the future. Their future together.

June 12th – Night before the Tony Awards.

"Rach, come on, Kurt and Jake the baby sitters extraordinaires are here, we have reservations at seven!" Finn called as he walked passed the bathroom to the living room to hug Declan. Tonight was Finn's first chair or crutch free night in seventeen months and he felt good. "She's been in that bathroom for almost half an hour now, we're going to be late."

"Maybe she's still doing her make-up." Jake said looking up from Declan who had jumped up into his lap to Finn who was toying with something in his jacket pocket.

"Maybe, but we have twenty minutes or we'll be late." Finn replied just as Rachel walked out of the bathroom with an unreadable expression on her face as she took Finn's outstretched hand. "You okay Rach?"

"I'm fine, come on lets go, you said it yourself, we have reservations." Rachel said interlocking her fingers with Finn's as he nodded and led her to the door.

"Bye you two, have fun." Kurt said from the sofa as Finn opened the door and waved at Declan who was waving goodbye to him and Rachel.

"We will, bye guys." Finn replied as he and Rachel stepped out into the hallway hand in hand and walking to the elevator. "You're pretty quiet Rachel, you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine Finn, really, I'm just feeling a little off."

"You're probably just nervous about tomorrow, I mean it's a big night for you."

"Probably, I don't normally get nervous but you're right it's just nerves about tomorrow." She looked up at Finn, he was so carefree tonight, he was in a routine and getting back into work slowly, the news Rachel had for him was big, she just didn't know how to tell him.

They say at the reserved table and talked, laughed, Finn's conversations and jokes almost made Rachel forget what she needed to tell him as they ate. Once they finished eating Finn took her hand on top of the table.

"Can we talk?" they said in unison, Finn chuckled and nodded.

"You go first Rach." He said watching her look down at the table and circle her finger around the rim of her glass of water.

"I don't know what to say, Finn what did you say when Declan's mother told you she was pregnant?"

"Um… well I was shocked at first, but she knew I wanted to have kids, not necessarily with her but someday, so as shocked as I was I was so, so excited, why do you ask?" Finn asked looking up at Rachel who still couldn't look at him.

"Because I need to know how you'll react. Do you remember last month after the movie?"

"Yeah…"

"Finn I just took a home pregnancy test before we left."

"What did it say?" Finn asked his voice cracking as he spoke, not really sure of what he was hearing.

"I'm pregnant Finn…"

"Pregnant?..." Finn questioned, he was in total shock as his free hand reached into his pocket ans his fingers wrapped around the little black box inside it.

"Yes…"

"Wow, um… can I just say something?" he slowly pulled the box out and made sure it was hidden in his hand.

"Of course."

"It's more like ask you something , I guess, and I'm kind of nervous now… well more nervous than originally planned. But this is good news… a baby? Makes us more of a family, just answer me one thing." Finn stood up and stepped beside Rachel's chair and got on one knee and taking Rachel's hand. She took his hand and flashed a smile, a genuine smile for the first time that night. "I suppose you can guess what my question is now, but I just wanted to say I love you… like a lot, and Declan keeps asking me when I'm going to do this so, Rachel Berry will you marry me?"

"Yes I'll marry you." Rachel said earning a smile from Finn as he leant forward to press his lips against hers before pulling away to slide the ring onto her finger.

"I'll pay the bill and we can take a walk." Finn smiled as he waved the waiter over and handed him his credit card while he thought things over; he was now engaged to Rachel and she was carrying their baby, not his or hers but theirs. Once the waiter returned Finn looped his arm with Rachel's as they walked into the street. "So… a baby huh?"

"Yes, a baby… are you happy?"

"Happy? Rach, I'm ecstatic, we're going to be a real family. Remember when we were in our first year of university before we split up? We said we'd be together forever and be a family one day… this is our chance even if it is ten years later. I'm not letting you go this time." Finn smiled walking beside Rachel through Times Square, she'd made his life better and his son's life better. "Are you happy?"

"More than happy, you don't know how long I've wanted this Finn, a family, my own baby… thank you." Finn and Rachel walked through the city for a while in silence, both of them at complete peace. The next big thing was the Tony's, then wedding planning and then a baby. Moving on as a family was becoming one of the best things to ever happen to them.

Now I know this was a short chapter, but the next one will be longer, this was supposed to be short. I want to know what you guys think!

Also I'm looking for someone to possibly write an acceptance speach for Rachel, as we all know she's going to win because I'm in a good mood.! Inbox me or if you're on my facebook post it on my wall that you want to do it :)

Anyways, until next time REMEBER TO REVIEW
