Chapter 11

July 25th, 2012

It was Rachel's first day at work and Finn's first day of practice with the football team. Finn got out of bed at seven. Rachel was to be at work at nine. He wanted to make her breakfast before her first day to show how much he appreciated her.

Finn was in the kitchen making pancakes and bacon. With the pregnancy, Rachel had acquired a taste for bacon. Finn was loving that he could eat meat without getting puppy dog eyes from Rachel and a lecture about what was done to a poor animal so that he could have his bacon. He was dancing around the kitchen and singing softly.

He wasn't paying attention until he heard, "Oh, babies. I wish you could see your silly daddy. Maybe I'll let him cook more often if he has this much fun in the kitchen."

Finn turned around and asked, "What are doing up? I was going to bring you breakfast in bed and let you get some rest before your big first day."

Rachel put her hands on her stomach and said, "Our little peanuts had other plans for me. They are sitting on my bladder and I have to pee all the time. Do you need any help?"

"Nope. I'm done. Lets sit down and eat before you have to start getting ready. Then I'll take you to work. I don't want you walking."

"Finny, honey, the daycare is like a quarter of a block away. I can make it. I'm not that pregnant."

"It's still warm outside. I don't want you walking in this heat. I'll take you. I kind of want to walk you in and see where our babies will be staying."

Rachel smiled. "You are precious. How can I argue with that?"

"You can't. that is my point. Don't fight with me, wifey. Eat with me and then get ready for work."

Rachel came over and kissed Finn. He crouched in front of her and kissed her stomach. He said, "Good morning, babies. Daddy made breakfast just for you. I know how much you like pancakes and bacon. I figured if mommy was going to have a big day you were going to have a big day, too. Daddy sure is going to miss you three today."

Rachel pulled him up and had him meet her lips. She said, "You are so amazing. I can't say that enough. Lets eat some of this amazing breakfast you made us before we have to go our separate ways."

The two of them sat down at the table together. He laced his fingers through hers and said, "Baby, I love you so much. You are so beautiful in those pajama shorts and that tank top that shows off that baby belly that I gave you."

Rachel laughed. "Finn, we don't know if you gave it to me or not."

"I like to think I did. I love you and I love that baby belly. I can't wait to know what we are having and to see you wear maternity clothes."

"It won't be much longer. My skirts are getting really tight. We are going to have to go shopping soon or else I won't have anything to wear. I'm actually excited. I can't wait to show off our babies to the world now that they are starting to grow rapidly."

"I can't say that I am upset about this. You are going to make the cutest pregnant woman. You are beautiful all the time. I don't know how I got so lucky. I don't deserve you."

"I don't deserve you. I am putting you through so much. You are having sleepless nights going out to get me tacos. That foot massage you gave me last night was amazing."

Finn laughed. "I'm sure there is more to come. We need to get ready for our days as much as I hate it."

The two of them went back to their bedroom and got dressed for their day.

Rachel and Finn were walking into the daycare. It was a daycare for students and professors to bring their children to.

A girl about Rachel and Finn's age came over and asked, "Can I help you?"

Rachel said, "Hello. I'm Rachel Hudson. This is my husband, Finn. He felt he needed to drop me off. Today is supposed to be my first day." Rachel looked up at Finn.

The girl laughed. "Hello. My name is Paisley Addison. It is so nice to meet you. I'll show you around."

Rachel looked up at him and said, "Goodbye, Finn. I'll see you this afternoon. I'll walk home. Don't worry about me. I love you."

Finn kissed her head. "Goodbye, sweetheart. I love you, too."

Finn reluctantly left her.

Rachel told Paisley as they walked around the daycare checking on the kids. Rachel said, "I am so sorry about my husband. He is rather protective of me. He thinks something terrible is going to happen to me if I am out of his sight for a few minutes."

Paisley laughed. "Don't worry. All new dads are that way. He just wants to make sure that you are all taken care of. That is admirable. So, how long have you been married and when are you due?"

Rachel instinctively put her hand to her stomach. "I am three months along. I'm finally out of the dreaded morning sickness stage for the most part. Finn and I got married a little less than a month ago. We are due in six month, so I'm due about January 12th. Are you dating anyone?"

Paisley was about to reply when a baby came toddling over to her. Paisley picked the baby girl up and kissed her cheek. She said, "This is my daughter, Daisy. I'm married to my high school sweetheart. We got married right before senior year. Daisy was born last year in our first year of college. She was born in October. She is almost a year old."

"She is beautiful."

"Thank you. So, you and your husband go to OSU?"

"We will be starting this fall. Finn is a new member on the football team. Today was his first day of practice."

"Ryan is on the team as well. We will have to get together some time."

"That would be nice."

"Do you know what you are having?"

"We are expecting twins. We find out next month what we are having."

"Finding out the gender is so much fun. Tomorrow night you and your husband should come over to our place for dinner. It would be good for the guys to get to know each other and I would love to get to talk to another mom."

"I'll talk to Finn tonight and get back to you tomorrow at work. I would really like to get to know you and Ryan."

"Great. I hope it works out. Lets go meet all the kids and the other people that work here."

"Thank you for taking me under your wing."

"It's no biggie. Us moms and wives have to stick together. We should go shopping after you find out what you are having."

"That sounds lovely. Thank you so much for everything already."

Paisley looked down at Daisy and said, "Hey baby girl. Say hi to Rachel. She is mommy's new friend. I'm sure you are going to be friends with her babies. We are all going to be friends."

Daisy looked at Rachel bashfully and said, "Hi."

Rachel smiled and said, "You are cute. You look like your mommy. I hope my babies are just as cute as you are."

Paisley asked, "Can you say thank you?"

Daisy smiled, "Tanks."

Paisley and Rachel took Daisy to the rest of the kids and continued on with their day.

Finn was sitting on the bleachers listening to coach. He was overwhelmed by everything that was going on. They were going to have five hour practices until classes started and then three hour practices when school did start. He didn't know how he was going to fit in the time with Rachel he knew he was going to need.

A guy sitting next to him said, "You alright? You look a little overwhelmed."

Finn laughed and told him, "That would be an understatement."

"I'm Ryan Addison."

"Finn. Finn Hudson."

"Nice to meet you man. I'm remember my first day. It gets better, I promise. You seem like you have more on your mind than football."

"I'm trying to figure out how I am going to have time for football, my wife and two babies all while going to school."

"It's possible man. I'm going to be a sophomore and I'm married. My wife and I have a one year old. I know I don't have two kids, but I know where you are coming from."

"My wife is pregnant with twins. I'm terrified."

"It's going to be alright man. When is she due?"

"January 12th."

"You have plenty of time. I'm here for you man. You and your wife should come hang out with me, the wife and our daughter."

"That would be nice. I will have to see what my wife has in store for us after she gets off work. I don't want to mess with her plans. She is in charge. I can't go against those hormones."

Ryan laughed. "I know what you mean. I was in your place last year. Just let me know and we'll get something figured out. If you need anything let me know, man."

"Thanks. That means a lot to me. Rach and I just moved in yesterday. Today was her first day at the daycare, so I don't know how things are going to go the next couple of days as we both adjust to everything."

"The daycare? That is where my wife works."

"Small world."

"Yeah. They give us free care for Daisy since she works there."

"That was a lot of the reason why Rachel got on there. It would be awful to have to pay someone to watch two kids and Rachel didn't want to be far from the babies."

"Sounds just like Paisley."

"I think I met your wife this morning now that you mention it. I took Rach to work and got a little protective."

Ryan laughed. "No worries. I know exactly how you feel. I was the same way with Paisley when she was pregnant with Daisy. I didn't want anything to happen to either of them if I had anything to do with it."

"I'm glad I'm not the only one." Ryan laughed and slapped him on the back as they went to start their first practice.

Finn walked into the apartment and he was exhausted. Rachel came running at him and wrapped her arms around him. Finn caught her and said, "Hey short stuff. How are you and babies doing?"

Rachel smiled up at him as she kissed his nose. "We are great. There was no sickness today. The kids at the daycare are amazing and adorable. I made a new friend. She wants us to come over tomorrow night for dinner if that is okay with you. We don't have to, but I thought it would be good for us to meet some people on campus. Paisley is a mom and talking to her has really made me feel better about what is coming our way."

"I met her husband. Ryan is a really nice guy. I think it would be nice to have dinner with them tomorrow night. He was telling me about their daughter and he couldn't stop talking about her. I'm sure that is how I am going to be when you have our babies. Rach, I'm so ready for all of this."

Rachel smiled. "Hubby, come in for dinner. I finished it right before you got here. You have pretty good timing."

Rachel led Finn into the kitchen. They sat down and started to eat the spaghetti Rachel had made.

Finn told Rachel, "This is great, Rach."

"Thanks, Finny."

"Are you okay? You seem a little sad. I don't like to see you sad."

"I'm really missing everyone today. I mean we are here by ourselves. We don't have anyone here."

"Quinn will be here in two weeks. I'm sure she will come see us if you miss her."

Rachel had a tear in her eye. "It's not just Quinn. I miss your mom and Burt. I really miss Kurt, Blaine and Mercy. Kurt could be annoying, but I would much rather have him here trying to take over decorating the babies' nursery than be all the way in New York."

Finn laughed. "Honey, call him. I'm sure he would love to hear from you. What do you want to bet that he is in New York buying out baby stores in preparation for our babies?"

Rachel giggled. "I bet you are right. I never thought I would say this, but I miss high school. I missed when we were here for each other. I miss having all of our friends within a few miles."

"We all had to grow up, Rach. You will always have me. I am going to do everything in my power to make you happy."

"You are doing a pretty good job, Mr. Hudson. I love you so much, Finn."

"I love you, Rach."

The two of them finished their dinner.

Rachel came walking into the bedroom at ten. Finn said, "Hey beautiful. Kurt finally let you off the phone?"

Rachel laughed. "You knew when I called him we would be talking for a while. He freaked out on me. He wants to be here with me. He wants to make sure that I am eating enough and taking care of the future Hudsons the way I should."

"I will have to have a talk with him about how much he trusts me to take care of my own wife."

Rachel smiled. "You do a wonderful job. You know Kurt. He is always over thinking and worrying about nothing. You are an amazing husband. You are already an amazing daddy and our babies aren't even here yet."

"Thanks, Rach. I would do anything for you. I love you so much more than you will ever know. I don't know what I would do without you."

"You won't ever have to figure that out. You are stuck with us."

Finn smiled. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"I love you."

"I love you more. Will you come lay down with me now. I want to hold you in my arms while I have the chance. The two of us had a long day and I just want to lay here with my wife."

"You don't have to ask me twice. There is nowhere I would rather be than lay in your arms. I love it when you hold my stomach. I feel so safe in your arms. There is nowhere I feel safer. I called Quinn, too. She told me to tell you that you better take good care of me. She said if anything happened to me or babies you would pay for it. I'm still trying to get used to the fact that she actually likes me."

Finn laughed. "Quinn loves you. It is refreshing to see the two of you getting along. I know she will be a lot of help with the babies."

"Yeah."

Rachel had changed into her pajamas and crawled into bed next to Finn.

Finn kissed her and her stomach. Then he said, "Good night babies. Daddy loves you. He got to talk about you a lot at football practice and it made him really excited. Just about five more months. We are going to be ready for you when you get here."

Rachel ran her hands through Finn's hair. She said, "I don't know what I am going to do when I'm not pregnant anymore. It is going to be odd not having you talk to my stomach all the time."

Finn laughed. "We won't even have time to think about it when the babies get here. There is always going to be someone to talk to. I just can't wait to hold them in my arms."

"I know what you mean. I need to get some sleep. It's off to work again for me tomorrow."

Finn kissed her head and starting to sing to her and their unborn babies like he did the night before. He was ready to make it a nightly ritual.

Finn himself fell asleep about a half an hour after Rachel. The two of them slept as close as they possibly could.
