February 14th, 2013

Finn woke up and he got the last bag out of his room and took it down to his truck. He walked back in the house to be met by Burt, Carole and Kurt. He said, "I guess this is goodbye. I need to get to New York."

Carole said, "I don't think so. You need to go to your graduation ceremony. I hate to be the person to pull this card, but I did not pay for you to go through all of this for you to leave without giving me the satisfaction of seeing you in your uniform standing there with your class."

"Mom, I have to get there. I can't leave Rachel to handle Palmer and Penelope without me any longer."

"Finn, she wants you to graduate as well. She told me she wants to see pictures of you on your graduation day. She wants to be able to show them to Penelope and Palmer in the future. Then they can be even more proud of their father."

Finn hung his head. He wanted to make Rachel, Palmer and Penelope proof of the man that he was. He knew his mom was right. He had gone through so much. It wouldn't hurt a couple more hours. Then he could be on his way as soon as it was over. Then he would be on his way to his family.

Finn went on to his truck to head to the ceremony. Burt said, "Shoo… That was close. I thought we were going to have to tell him that Rachel and Quinn were coming with the babies to surprise him to get him to stay."

Carole told him, "I know my boy. He wants to do anything he can for Rachel. He loves her. He is going to be so happy and so surprised to see them. I think Noah is going to be happy to see them, too. No matter how much that boy denies it, he will always love Quinn. I know those boys like the back of my hand."

Kurt said, "Let's go. We want to get a good seat. Rachel said they probably wouldn't make it for the whole ceremony, but they would find us when it was over." The three of them went out to the car and they were on their way as well.

Rachel was sitting in the passenger's seat of the car. She couldn't believe that she had been able to keep this a secret from Finn. Rachel and Quinn were almost to Ohio with Palmer and Penelope. Rachel told Quinn, "I owe you so much for coming with me. There is no way I would have been able to make it here by myself with the two of them."

"Of course. I'm looking forward to seeing some people again."

"Puck?"

"Maybe a little. No matter how much I try there is just something about him."

"The two of you had a child together. No matter what the future holds you will always have a connection."

"I guess you are right. Rach, you are doing so great. I couldn't handle having one kid and you have two. You are like a super hero."

"No I'm not. I cry every night. I'm exhausted. I don't know what to do with myself most of the time."

"Hey. It's all good. Finn will be going back with you. You won't have to do it alone again, though I have been there for you."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that."

"I know what you mean. You miss Finn. I get that. We are almost there. He still doesn't know we are coming, does he?"

Rachel smiled. "No. We won't make it for the ceremony, but we should be there for the end of it. I just want to see him walk across the stage."

"We will have to see what we can do. We are almost there."

The two of them kept driving.

Rachel had Penelope in her arms and Quinn had Palmer in hers. They looked around for someone they recognized, but didn't see anyone. They sat in the back out of the way in case they needed to get up with the babies.

They had just sat down when they called Finn's name and he stood. Rachel smiled from ear to ear. She was so proud of him. She knew it hadn't been easy on him to be so far away from them, but his hard work was now being rewarded. He had an interview with the NYPD in a week. She was so happy for him.

Then they called Puck's name. He looked so happy. It was amazing to see someone who had gone through all of the things he had gone through doing something like he was. Rachel looked over to see Quinn smiling so big. Rachel knew that there was something between them, but she wasn't going to press it.

Finn stood up after the ceremony and went to find his family. He only wished Rachel was there to be with him on the special day. He had looked up once and swore he saw Rachel, but he pushed the thought out of his head. It wasn't possible. She was in New York with their children waiting for him to get there.

Puck said, "Dude, we did it! Can you believe I am actually going to be on the other side now? Who would have ever thought that the kid that went to juvie would be putting other kids in juvie?"

Finn laughed. "Yeah. It surprised me that you made it man."

"Hey!"

"Sorry, but you know it is true."

"Yeah, you're right."

Finn felt arms wrap around him. He looked down to see his mom. He smiled and said, "Hey mom."

She sniffled and said, "I am so proud of you. I can't believe my baby boy can be a police officer."

"Oh mom. Stop it."

"Can't a mom be proud of her boy?"

Finn said, "Stop raving about me. I need to get going."

Rachel came up behind him so he wouldn't see her. She said, "And where is it that you need to be going?"

Finn whipped around. Burt quickly grabbed the baby from her arms as Finn picked her up and squeezed her. He said, "You came!"

Rachel chuckled and said, "I couldn't miss it. I wanted to see you get your diploma."

Finn smiled. He looked around and felt truly blessed. He was surrounded by the people that meant the most to him.

Finn said, "How are you doing, babe?"

Rachel said, "I'm great. We made it here with hardly a problem. It seems the munchkins like to ride in the car. They were pretty good."

Finn looked over at his children. Everyone else was fawning over them. He bit his lip. He didn't want to leave Rachel to go see them. He knew she had been feeling down on herself and how he felt for her lately. He didn't want to mess anything up.

Rachel took his hand and said, "Come here. They want to see their daddy."

They walked over to Quinn and Puck to see them playing with Palmer. Puck said, "I have to hand it to the two of you, you make a couple of cute kids."

Finn smiled and said, "Thanks, man. I think they look like Rachel."

Quinn handed Palmer over to him. He looked down at him and smiled. He said, "Hey little man. You have gotten so big since the last time I held you. I hope you were good for your mommy and Aunt Quinn. I get to go home with you now. What do you think about that?" Palmer looked up at him with a blank stare. He said, "I'll take that as a look of excitement." Rachel smiled at the interaction.

Carole came over with Penelope. She said, "You can't forget this little one. She looks just like you did as a baby."

Finn smiled and said, "Hey princess. Look at you getting all big. I can't wait to go home with you, Palm and your mommy. I can't wait to watch you get bigger."

Carole said, "I want pictures. You are going to be leaving soon. I want pictures of my son and his babies so I can see them."

Finn rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, it's not like you aren't going to ever see me again. New York is just where I'm going to be. You will still see me."

Rachel felt like a home wrecker. Carole was taking pictures of Finn, Penelope and Palmer as if they were about to disappear in front of her. She was just standing in the background not being noticed. She excused herself, but no one noticed.

Rachel was sitting in a little patch of grass just thinking. She felt someone come over and sit next to her on each side. She looked up to see Quinn and Puck. Each of them were on one side of her. Puck asked, "What is the matter, momma Berry?"

Rachel wiped her eyes and said, "I'm a home wrecker. I'm dragging Finn to New York and he really doesn't want to be there. He is just going because that is where his children are. He doesn't want to be with me. I know Carole has to hate me for taking him from her. I don't blame her. I'm not good enough for him. I'm not good enough for Palmer and Penelope either. They could have a better mother than me. They just got stuck with me."

Puck wrapped his arm around her and said, "Hey, that isn't true! I know that Finn loves you. I had to listen to him every day go on and on about moving to New York to be with his family. Rachel, you are his family. He loves you. You should never question that. Palmer and Penelope are lucky to have you as a mom. I bet you are a great mom. I mean they are still alive. That is a good thing."

Rachel looked down. "Finn doesn't want to go to New York."

Quinn told her, "He would do anything for you. He will go wherever you are."

"That is the thing! I don't want to make him do something that he doesn't want to do. He will resent me more than he already does."

"He doesn't resent you!"

"I ruined his life! He was going to break up with me before I told him I was pregnant. We wouldn't even be together if it wasn't for them. Now he feels like he is stuck with me."

Puck said, "Stop it! Girl, you are crazy. He was going to break up with you because he thought it was best for you. He didn't want to hold you back! He is crazy about you and your cute little munchkins."

"I just don't know if I can do this. I'm tired all the time and I'm sad. I shouldn't be sad. Palma and Ellie are healthy. That should be enough to make me happy. They are happy and good babies."

Quinn asked, "Rach, do you think you may have postpartum depression? That is something that I dealt with after Beth."

"I don't know. I just want to be happy or I really am going to push Finn away. Carole isn't going to want anything to do with me. I mean she didn't even notice I was here. Kurt is still distant."

Puck told her, "The only thing you really need to worry about is figuring yourself out and taking care of those babies. Carole is her own person. So are Burt and Kurt. If they don't like you then that is their deal. I know I wasn't the greatest in high school, but you really aren't all bad. Why would I move to New York if you weren't?"

Rachel's head shot up. "You are moving to New York."

Puck laughed. "Yep. I can't miss out on being the uncle to get the little munchkins in trouble. I'll keep Finn in line, too."

Rachel smiled and hugged him. It was going to be so nice to have a little bit more of Lima in New York.

Finn had been absorbed in his children that he didn't notice that Rachel, Puck and Quinn were gone. All of the sudden he asked, "Where is Rachel?"

Kurt told him, "I don't know. Wherever Puck and Quinn are probably."

"Crap! I'm an idiot. I didn't give her the attention she needed. We didn't ask her to be involved in the pictures. Dang it! I have to find her." Finn searched the grounds and found the three of them.

He rushed over while still holding Penelope. He stopped in front of Rachel and said, "I'm so sorry. I'm an idiot. I am so sorry."

Rachel stood up and said, "No. Don't be. I need to remember that I have been with them every day for the last two months. You need to catch up and I'm not part of your family."

"What are you talking about? You are family. You are my family. You, Ellie and Eli are my family."

"I'm glad you feel that way. I'm just tired, hormonal and just all around messed up. Finny, I think I need to get some help."

Finn kissed her head. "We will get you whatever help you think you need. I just want you happy and healthy. That is what matters. Ellie and Eli need you at your best. But I'm here now to help."

Rachel smiled. "I'm so glad."

"So, when are we heading back to New York?"

"I thought we could head back tomorrow. Then you could have some more time with your mom. I'll stay out of the way."

"I don't want you to stay out of the way. We were looking for you so we could get a picture of the four of us. I want one to remind me of how awesome today turned out to be. Mom wanted it, too."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Rach, she loves you. You are the daughter she never had."

"Oh."

"She is just excited that Palmer and Penelope are here. She is happy you are here, too. We just aren't very good at having more than one thing on our mind at a time. You know that about me. I got it from her."

Rachel chuckled. Finn went on to say, "Let's go take a couple more pictures then I am going to take you to Breadsticks." Rachel smiled and took the crook of Finn's arm in her own as he held their daughter and they went to see their son.

They spent the rest of the evening with Carole, Burt and Kurt before going to spend the night with Rachel's fathers. It was an experience. Rachel was actually looking forward to getting back to New York. She wanted to get back to their little world without the little small town things getting in their way.
