Chapter 9

Train rides to and from New York were always quite interesting for Finn. The trips to New York were often ones filled with excitement and Finn was always pleased when he got on the train. However, train rides back to Lima could often be boring and seemingly longer than the trip there. The train ride Finn experienced on his way back from New York (after finding out that he and the love of his life were having two children) was in fact a very awkward one.

That Sunday afternoon had been quite pleasant for Finn, Rachel, Santana and Kurt. After attending Rachel's ultrasound appointment, they took a taxi to Central Park, where they had a picnic Kurt had prepared. This continued into the late afternoon, where they finally packed up and returned to the apartment.

"I invited Adam over this evening," Kurt said as he pulled the keys out of his pocket. They entered the apartment and were astonished by the sight of the two men sitting on the sofa. Knowing that Kurt would be too shocked to speak, Finn walked in and broke the silence.

"Hey Blaine, what are you doing here?" Blaine looked up, a somewhat relieved expression on his face.

"Hey Finn," Blaine said. Slowly, Kurt, Santana and Rachel entered the apartment, settling down in the living room.

"So," Kurt said, trying to casually lean back in his chair. "Blaine, what are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd come and see you guys. I've missed you all." Blaine said awkwardly. A few moments passed and they all stayed silent. Finn could feel Rachel relaxing back into his chest.

"Rachel," Blaine turned towards her. "I hear you're pregnant."

Rachel paused for a moment, obviously embarrassed that someone else knew, and then nodded at Blaine politely.

"When is it due?" Blaine asked.

"November seventh," Rachel replied. "And today we found out that there will be twins."

Blaine suddenly hugged her, pulling her away from Finn.

"I'm so happy for you," he whispered into her ear before releasing her. There was another unsettling silence.

"I think I'd better be going now," Finn said, getting up from the sofa.

"Yeah, me too," said Blaine, clearly relieved to leave. The two men left the apartment to go to the train station, where they caught a train back to Lima.

"So why did you actually come here?" Finn asked Blaine as they took their seats.

"Well I wanted to see Kurt, but I couldn't because that guy..." Blaine thought for a moment, trying to remember his ex-boyfriend's new boyfriend's name. "Adam was there."

"How long were you with him before we came back?" Finn asked.

"About an hour. It was a pretty awkward."

"Who was that guy?" Adam asked Kurt as soon as Finn and Blaine left.

"He's just a friend from Ohio..." Kurt replied. "An old boyfriend..."

"Right," Adam said, slightly concerned by the situation. "And you're just friends now?"

"Yeah," Kurt said. And with that, they all retired to their beds.

On Rachel's twentieth week, Finn became extremely excited. He had been informed she was due for another check up, this time to see the gender of the two children. All week he had been waiting to travel back up to New York to see her, and the time had finally arrived. Finn yet again took the train up to New York and walked to her apartment.

"When is the appointment again?" Finn asked excitedly as he paced the floors of the apartment.

"Tomorrow," Rachel laughed. "The appointment is tomorrow."

"Oh," Finn muttered, sitting down. Suddenly, a knock came from the door.

"That's probably Adam," Kurt said, pulling the door open. Finn and Rachel turned back to continue talking.

"Oh hello..." Kurt stood back, allowing the person to walk inside.

"Rachel!" Kurt said with an awkward tone in his voice. "Brody is here to see you."

"Brody?!" What are you doing here?" said Rachel, getting up from the sofa.

"I have decided to come back to you. To take responsibility as a parent towards our child." Brody said in a somewhat joyful manner.

"Oh. About that..." Rachel began. She looked back at Finn in despair, hoping he would help her reject Brody. Finn arose from the sofa and walked over to stand behind Rachel. He placed his hand on her back, reassuring her of his presence.

"Actually Brody, we have something to tell you," Finn said, looking Brody in the eyes. "You aren't the father. I am."

Moments passed as Brody tried to clear the shock from his face. Santana and Kurt edged back into the living room, hiding from the situation at hand. Finn rubbed Rachel's back comforting her as Brody decided what to say.

"But you said..." Brody began, his thoughts overpowering his speaking abilities. For a moment Finn thought Brody was going to faint. After what seemed like hours, Brody stood up straight and walked straight up to Finn's face, trying to look him in the eye, yet failing because of his height. He took a deep breath in before taking a step back and swinging around to punch Finn in the face.

Finn gasped, falling backwards slightly but managing to prop himself up on the arch.

"What was that for!?" Rachel screamed at Brody, her face furious.

"I'm sorry. I- I don't know what came over me." Brody stuttered edging backwards. Kurt ran to his brother's aid, helping Rachel tend to Finn's red face. Santana sauntered over to Brody, looking into his eyes menacingly.

"If you dare even come within a metre of this place again, I will go all Lima Heights on your ass. Got it?!" She didn't even wait for a response before pushing him out of the door and slamming it shut. She turned around to see Kurt helping his brother onto the sofa and Rachel dampening a cloth in the sink.

"I'm sorry, Rachel, but I really don't like that guy," Kurt said as he dabbed the cloth to Finn' face. Rachel laughed a little, grasping Finn's hand as tight as she could.

"I promise," Finn said, looking into Rachel's saddened eyes. "I will never let that guy near you again."
