I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thank you for sticking with this story, those of you that have. I feel like I'm writing it for five people, but I'll keep writing. Thank you for the few reviews, alerts and favorites. Thank you for the support. Enjoy! :)

Finn had taken Keely home. He told her, "I am so sorry about that. I didn't mean to cut our night short."

Keely told him, "I admire that you care so much about your friends. That is a very good thing. So, what is going on there?"

"Rachel, my brother, Sam and I are all from Ohio. I have known Rachel for as long as I can remember. She is my best friend and I wasn't about to let that idiot hurt her or Darcy."

"You really are a knight."

Finn smiled. "Thank you. I had a nice time."

Keely smiled. "I did as well. Thank you for dinner."

"It was my pleasure. What do you say to a makeup date? I feel terrible the way this turned out. I'm sorry I just went running out of there. Rachel is just so small and I didn't know what was going on. I wasn't about to let him do something to her and Darcy."

Keely laughed. "I would love that. When were you thinking we would do this makeup date?"

Finn smiled. "I was thinking next Tuesday."

"Hmm… I think I can swing that. I will be looking forward to it."

"Great."

"You should get back to your apartment. I know you want to check on Rachel and Darcy. She looked pretty freaked out."

"Thank you for understanding and being so cool about it."

"I would want a friend like you if I was in her place. I will see you on Tuesday." Finn told her goodbye and went to leave.

Finn couldn't stop thinking about the scared look on Rachel's face when he left. He rushed back to the apartment so that he could hold her and let her know that everything was going to be okay. He was just glad that he had been able to get there before anything happened to her or Darcy.

Finn walked into the nursery and found that Darcy was sound asleep as if something never happened. He crept across the hall to Rachel's room. He opened the door to see that she was in the fetal position crying.

He climbed into bed with her and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her head and said, "Its okay, Rach. I'm here now and no one is going to hurt you. I'm not going to let anyone near you or Darcy. I will always have your back no matter what. You should have called me."

Rachel sniffled and told him, "I was in shock. I just saw him going at the nursery door and all I could do was try to stop him. It was all happening so fast. I just couldn't get anything else on my mind than protecting my little girl. She is just so tiny and defenseless. I couldn't let her get hurt. Then I saw Kurt go running to her room and I just let him push me to the floor once I knew that he was in the room with her and she would be okay. I ruined your date. I am so sorry. Keely must think I am terrible. I don't know why you care about me so much. There is nothing that should make you care things much about me."

"Look at me."

Rachel rolled over and looked him in the eye. She asked, "What?"

"You didn't ruin the date. We are going to have a makeup date on Tuesday. Keely seems to like you. If she didn't like you then she wouldn't be the girl for me. You and Darcy are the top girls in my life whether I have a girlfriend or not. That isn't going to change. Rach, I'm so glad you are okay."

"I may have a bruise on my butt and my arm tomorrow, but that is little. I am just glad that he didn't get anywhere near my baby. Thank you for getting rid of him."

"It was my pleasure. Don't call him. He doesn't deserve you or Darcy if he is going to act that way."

"After seeing him like that I don't want to see him again. I don't want him to have anything to do with Darcy. She needs a real father that will care about her safety and love her."

"Rach, I want to help you with her as long as you will let me."

"You have a date on Tuesday. I can see it in your eyes that you like this girl. It isn't my place to take that away from you."

"Rachel, when will you see that you aren't taking anything away from me? You are giving me something. Do you realize how many times that I wish Darcy was my daughter? Do you realize that it was always you that I wanted to be married to and have kids with? When I saw that you had a kid I was actually hoping that she was mine. That would be one more thing that I would get to share with you. Rach, you and Darcy are all I ever want."

"Finn, you can't say that."

"This is how I feel, Rach. I can't hide that. You are the only girl I have ever wanted. I want your daughter in my life, too."

"You can't say stuff like that when you have a date on Tuesday. Finn, things just can't work for us right now."

"I'll cancel my date. She is cool and all, but she isn't you. No one will ever take the place of you."

"Come on, Finn."

"I mean it. I mean it all. I love you."

"I love you, too. That is why I can't let you do that."

Finn leaned over and captured Rachel's lips in a searing kiss. She pushed him away and said, "I can't believe you just did that. I would never regret you or anything to do with you, but you are seeing someone else!"

"Rach, it was one date! That doesn't mean we are dating or anything."

"At least wait until you have gone out on your makeup date before you make this decision. If you still feel this way after going out with Keely again then we will see where this has to go. I know Darcy would love to have you in her life as much as I would love to have you in mine. I just don't want you to throw anything away because of me."

"If it has anything to do with you, I will not be throwing it away. I'm going to go back to my bedroom. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay. Darcy is sound asleep. I checked on her before I came in here. If you need anything let me know I'll be here in a heartbeat. I got your back, Rach. I always will."

"Is the front door locked?"

"Yes. And before you ask, so are all the windows. You are safe now. Both of you are. You don't have to worry about him anymore."

"Thanks, Finn."

Finn left the room. He couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. He had never felt so at home than to have his lips on Rachel's. He was determined that after his makeup date he was going to tell Keely that what was going on with them would never work because he was in love with someone else. She seemed like a cool girl. He actually believed that she knew he was in love with Rachel already just from going out that evening.

Finn went in his room and dreamt of a future life with Rachel, Darcy and some Finchel babies. He couldn't have been happier at any given moment.
