Thank you for all the support. I hope you will enjoy this chapter as well. Thank you for the great reviews. Keep them coming! :) I hope you like where this takes our favorite couple. :) I may have to throw in some drama soon. You just never know with me.
The first home game had come. Rachel was taking the kids to the family box at the game. She was nervous to meet the other girlfriends and wives of the team members. She was just happy that her new friend Quinn would be there.
Rachel never expected to be such good friends with Quinn, but they had. She had talked to her every day and they were set to have a girls' day the next week while the kids were in school and she was off work. She was really looking forward to getting to know her better.
Finn came up behind her and said, "Babe, stop worrying. They are going to love you just as much as I do. Okay, maybe not that much because no one can love you like I do. They are going to like you. Stop worrying."
"Thanks honey. You are the best. Go out there and kick some butt."
Finn kissed her head. "I'll try my best."
Dayton said, "Show them how it's done, dad."
Briella told him, "Go Finn!" Finn and Rachel laughed at the cuteness of their children. He kissed all three of their heads and went to meet his team.
Quinn was standing with Elle and asked Rachel, "Are you ready for this? They may judge you at first, but they will warm up to you, I promise. I mean I did. Everyone is so protective of Finn and Dayton."
"I'm glad they have so many that love them, but I can't help that I feel that I'm not good enough for them."
"You are perfect for them. Finn loves you. Dayton loves you even more than Finn, but I'm sure he would fight over that bit of information."
Rachel laughed. "I just feel special with them. I don't know what I would do without them."
"Well, let's get in there. There are plenty of things to do for the kids and we get women time."
"Okay. I'm trusting you to not feed me to the wolves."
Briella and Dayton looked up with fear in their eyes. Briella asked, "There are wolves in there?"
Rachel chuckled and said, "No sweetheart. It is an expression. You have nothing to worry about. Let's get in there. We have a game to watch. Finny is going to make us proud I am sure."
They all walked into the box. Dayton took Briella over to all the other kids. Rachel stood there awkwardly. Quinn laughed and said, "Come on worrywart."
The two of them walked over to a small group of women. Quinn said, "Hey ladies."
They all looked to see the baby in her arms. Elle was three months old so none of them had seen her yet. Sam Evans wife, Mercedes, said, "This must be the famous Elle. Momma, she is beautiful. I wouldn't expect anything less from you and Puckerman. I just hope she gets more of her personality from you than him."
Quinn chuckled and said, "She is a perfect baby. I love her so much. I didn't realize I could love someone so small in such a short time. Guys, I would like you to meet…"
Mercedes exclaimed, "Rachel Berry!"
Quinn laughed. "I should have known you would know who she was. Yes, this is Rachel Berry. The Broadway babe. She is Finn's girlfriend."
Clara stuck her hand out and said, "Hi. I'm Clara. I am James' girlfriend. It's nice to not be the only girlfriend around anymore. All the other guys are single or married so it is nice to have someone else."
Rachel shook her hand and said, "It is nice to meet you all."
Quinn said, "This is Mercedes, Clara, Emma and Tessa."
Rachel just smiled. She just didn't know what to say.
Tessa asked, "How did you manage to get you hook in Hudson? He hasn't seen anyone for as long as any of us have known him."
Rachel told them, "Actually, it is our kids' faults. They met on the first day of school and became best friends. We ended up bonding because of them and I guess you could say the rest was history."
"You must be special. We will have to make sure you that you are good enough for our Hudson and Little Hudson. They are important to all of us."
Rachel bit her lip. "They are important to me, too. I really hope that all of you will like me, but my daughter, Dayton and Finn are my top priority in everything."
Emma told them all, "I think we have our answer, ladies. She is perfect for Hudson and Dayton."
Rachel just smiled and got to know the women while the game progressed.
The game was over and the Giants won with the final touchdown that Finn made. Rachel was so proud of Finn.
Finn came with all the other guys to meet their wives and girlfriends. Puck was first to come racing in the room to Quinn. He exclaimed, "We did it, baby!"
Finn came up behind Rachel and took her in his arms. He kissed her and said, "I'm so glad you were here. I won it for you."
Rachel blushed. "Don't lie. You would have won it had I not been here. Finn, I am so glad to have you."
"Oh, you make me blush. I am so glad you are here. Let's go celebrate at home with the kids."
"I can watch the kids if you want to celebrate with the team."
"Nope. I want to spend my evening with you, Day and Brie."
"I was hoping you would say that. Let's go home."
Finn smiled and took both of the kids in his arms and they left the stadium. They were ready to have a good night together as the little family they were fastly becoming.
Finn and Rachel were sitting on the couch while the kids played in Briella's room. Rachel had her head leaning on Finn's shoulder. She looked up and said, "I love you so much. I'm so glad I got to see you play today. You were wonderful."
Finn said, "It was great to know that you were there. So, I talked to my mom today. She said that she is going to be coming into town the weekend of Halloween. She really wants to meet you. She says that Dayton and I don't stop talking about you."
"I hope they are good things."
"Of course."
"I can't wait to meet your mom. She sounds like a wonderful woman."
"The two of you will get along wonderfully. She really wants to go to one of your shows."
"My contract is up this week. I have to start auditioning for other roles this week. This is when I start getting really nervous."
"Babe, you are amazing. Anyone would be lucky to have you in their show. You know that I will be there to support you all of the way."
"Thanks, Finny. I'm still afraid that no one will want me. I really want to get another role, but with the business you will never know. I have been on this show for two years. I guess it is time for a change."
"I will be there with you all along the way."
"You are the best. Don't forget you are meeting Santana tomorrow."
"Should I be worried?"
"Not really. You know how protective your friends are of you and Dayton? Well, multiply that by 200 and you will get how Santana is about Brie and I."
"Okay, now I am worried."
Rachel laughed. "No. Don't be. I won't let her do anything to you. You mean to much to me."
Finn pulled her up for a kiss. "I'm glad to hear that."
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
"I am so glad I met you. My life has forever been changed for the better. Briella thinks the world of you and I can see why she does."
"Rachel, I see you in my life for a long time to come."
"I feel the same way about you."
"Cuddle with me, babe. I don't want to let you go. I want to spend every moment possible with you."
"I don't think I will fight with you there. I love to be in your arms. I am never happier than when I am with you. I have been waiting a long time for someone to come into my life to show me that all men are not jerks."
"I'm glad I can be that person."
The two of them spent time on the couch enjoying each other's company. Rachel was happy to have someone in her life that would support her through anything that came her way. Rachel was in love and couldn't stop herself from feeling the way about him that she did. She could see a future with him. She couldn't wait to see what came their way if it was truly meant to be like she thought it was.
