We can' thank you guys enough for your support on this story! I've always loved Firewifesara, but I had no idea how much fun it would be to get to work with her! This has been such an amazing experience, and I'm lucky to be able to call her a friend and mistress. #Bond She is amazingly awesome and has some equally awesome stories that you should go check out. For now though, here is the final chapter of 'Until I Found Him'. Don't forget to go read Finn's side of the story in 'Until I Found Her' by Firewifesara. The link is in my bio!

Rachel stood in the steamy shower, rinsing her long brown hair as she ran over the events from that morning in her mind. She loved being intimate with Finn, from the time they had first met she had felt an immediate and intense attraction to him that was only nurtured as time went on. Even so, she had to admit that she was taken aback by her own behavior when she literally pounced on him and had her way with him that morning. That's not to say that he didn't meet her aggressiveness with a fervor of his own however, her breasts were still lightly sore from his deliciously rough hands.
She started to lather the smooth flesh with her vanilla body wash, wincing slightly as she rubbed her fingers over the small orbs. It was ironic really, the whole thing had started with him making a comment about her breasts seeming too small for her bra. The comment had initially annoyed her, making her feel self conscious for about two seconds before she noticed the way his eyes seemed to glint under the lighting and the way his t-shirt was hugging his broad shoulders so enticingly. Rachel immediately ran into his arms, pushing him down to the floor so they could ravish one another right where they were.
The goofy smile adorning her face at the extremely vivid memory of just how thorough their bout had been was quickly erased by another small scowl as she massaged her breasts. Maybe Finn had been a tad rougher with her than she was remembering, but she usually loved it when his rough side came out. Over the past few months they had been trying all sorts of things sexually as they had been talking about having children, well, she did most of the talking, but she knew how much he wanted it too. She had seen rough Finn, smooth Finn, half-awake Finn, and even once sneaky Finn when they had gone at it in her dressing room at the theater, reasoning that the high stakes and adrenaline might aid in conception; that was Finn's idea of course, but she was willing to give it a shot. There was something about that little dressing room, her first single one when she finally scored the role of Belle in 'Beauty and the Beast' on Broadway. When she had first invited Finn backstage she saw the immense pride in his eyes soon eclipse into something more mischievous and sensual, he'd just been waiting for an opportunity to strike and strike he did, more than once that day if she was being honest. Her director would never hear about that!
The past few months had definitely been exciting to say the very least. Their intimacy had never been lacking; Finn was an attentive and enthusiastic lover and any time she had ever been left sore they were the good kinds of sore, never the annoying ache she felt now as she stared down at her petite breasts pointedly. They did actually look just the slightest bit larger now that she studied them closely. She was cupping them in her hands, comparing the sizes when the realization finally hit her, and she gasped aloud, slapping herself in the forehead.
She was only halfway finished with her shower at that point, but she really couldn't care less as she shut off the water and pushed back the shower curtain, grabbing the towel from it's hanger and drying herself as quickly as possible. Rachel ran into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water, tipping it to her lips and chugging as quickly as possible. When the glass was empty and she felt the familiar tightening of her bladder she hurried back into the bathroom and pulled out two of the home pregnancy tests that she had been keeping for moments exactly like these. Rachel relieved her pressured kidneys and waited, staring anywhere but at the two small sticks as they worked their magic, praying with everything that she had as she counted down the seconds. When the minute was up she took a deep breath and looked over for the reading, clapping her hand over her mouth as the tears started to flood her shining brown eyes.
It had been over a whole day, so many miserable yet blissful hours since she saw that little positive sign that changed her life and soon Finn's. She always missed him when he had to work 24 hour shifts at the fire station, but this time in particular had been pure agony. She could have easily called him and screamed the good news into his ear, but that simply didn't do the situation justice. So, she painstakingly waited, refusing to share the news with anyone, even Santana, until she could tell her husband. Adding to the beautiful drama of the situation, what better day was there to tell the man you love that you were about to have a child together than on your birthday?
Rachel's birthday was a known Holiday to all of their friends, it always had been. She knew that Finn always agonized about what to get her and often had to have help from two little birdies named Kurt and Blaine, or even Jesse and Sebastian if he was desperate, but she found that to be extremely cute. It made her heart swell to know that even after so much time together he still cared so much about her happiness; he always put her first. She always did that too to be honest, until she finally found Finn. Since she fell for him in Elite's gym she had continued the pattern, falling for him more and more with every passing day. He was everything to her, well, him and now their baby.
She rubbed the tiny bump that was her belly with an adoring smile. She had started idly thinking to herself how things might have turned out had Finn accused her stomach of getting larger instead of her boobs that day when she heard him coming in the door.
"Rach? Babe" she heard him call, bouncing on her toes slightly.
"Finn thank goodness you're home! I'm in here" she called back, beckoning him into the kitchen. She had all of the fixings for his favorite non-vegan breakfast for the occasion; most importantly bacon.
"Uh, hey babe" he said when he walked in, his gaze straying towards her growing bosom yet again. She didn't even get angry this time, she was just too happy. He was looking at the road map to the news and probably didn't even realize it. "Happy birthday."
"Thank you" Rachel beamed, leaning up to place a longing kiss on the lips she had missed so much. "But today has even more importance than the day I graced this planet" she said excitedly, grasping his large hands in her own. "I have the best news baby!"
"Oh yeah? Does that mean you don't want the present I got you" he asked. Her eyes widened as he took a step back from her and pulled a small, neatly wrapped package from behind his back. Her already excited smile widened at his childlike excitement over giving her a birthday gift, her heart swelling with affection for this beautiful man.
"What? No!" Rachel reached out for the small gift, pouting when he pulled it from her reach.
"No you don't want it?"
Rachel leveled his playfully arched eyebrows with a slightly impatient glare. "Finn Christopher Hudson, hand over my present right now before I pummel you and take it myself" she said sternly, the pregnancy hormones in her kind of hoping that he wouldn't so she could have another excuse to jump him. "I have a surprise to share too."
"Okay okay okay. Here" he chuckled, holding out the small white package with pretty black bow.
Rachel swiped the package from his hands, picking apart the sheer bow excitedly and quickly opening the box, her eyes going wide when she saw the bright pink iPod laying inside. She smiled at the tiny object that played such a huge part in their history; he knew exactly how important metaphors were to her.
"Do you like it" he asked, she could hear the hope in his voice.
"Like it" she repeated, her wide eyes filling with tears as she looked down at the symbol of their love story; their indirect beginning. Their original iPod had meant so much to her, always had, and she couldn't bring herself to part ways with it even after all of this time. When it stopped working, they had decided to keep it as a keepsake anyway. She flipped the small iPod over to find the engraving that she knew would be there, beaming at the perfect words; Forever Yours. Faithfully. "I love it. This is so perfect Finn" she gushed, stepping forward to wrap her arms around him, beaming when she felt his muscular arms embrace her back. "I love you so much."
"Yeah? I wanted to find you something special. And I couldn't resist getting it engraved. It's kind of our thing." Rachel smiled at his perfect words, wondering what she ever did to deserve such a thoughtful, caring and loving man. He was going to be an amazing father.
"It certainly is. I couldn't be any happier Finn" she assured him with a watery smile. "This is just too much wonderful for one woman."
"Oh yeah, what's your surprise" he asked suddenly, reminding her of the pressing matter. "Did the Tony people call?"
"Not yet, though I'm still expecting their call soon after such an impressive run in Beauty and the Beast" she said matter-of-factually. "But… That's not all I'm expecting."
"Oh yeah? Is Santana coming over?" He was adorable, but he really could be so dense sometimes.
"No, well, not today. Finn, I mean I'm expecting as in 'we're' expecting" she tried again, widening her eyes at him purposefully as she gripped his hands tighter, waiting for the light bulb to go off.
"Expecting what" he asked, his eyebrows scrunching together in what would be adorable confusion if she didn't want him to catch on already. Giving up on being vague because men just never seemed to grasp that, she gripped his hands tighter and laid it all out on the line.
"Finn, Babe, we're expecting a child" she told him in a rushed breath. "I'm pregnant Finn, we're going to have a baby" she squealed, feeling her heart soar as she watched the different emotions pass over his handsome face.
"What? You? I? We? A baby" he stuttered, his eyes widening with every disjointed word.
"Yes, a baby Finn. Our baby" she clarified, placing his hands on her small belly and smiling up at him, at the pure feeling of perfect bliss the movement brought her. There was no one else in the world she would rather share this moment, this experience with.
"Are you sure" he asked again, peering into her eyes like he could see her soul. She nodded excitedly to him, thrilled when his eyes lit up. It finally sank in. "Oh my God! I love you so much" he cried, sweeping her into his arms.
"I love you too babe" she laughed, enjoying the feeling of him in her arms as he buried his face in her neck. "I found out yesterday. Turns out you were right, my boobs were getting too big for my bra. For a reason" she explained, grinning as he pulled back to allow his eyes to freely roam over her breasts.
"I'm liking this already."
Finn brushed his lips all over Rachel's neck before bending down to press gentle kisses to the objects of his affection attached to her chest, and she sighed in bliss as he did so. He bent down to his knees in front of her and started to place gentle kisses to her still taut stomach, the love in the act making her heart do flips as she toyed with his perfect hair.
She loved him more than words could even express, more than she had ever loved anything in her life, it was hard to imagine loving someone else in the world that she could love on a level even close to that. But she knew she could, she would, and he would too. There was a tiny person growing in her that would hopefully have all of the best parts of both of them, and they would own both she and Finn's hearts in no time, they already did. Love was crazy like that, she knew, because she had the best teacher in the world when it came to love; Finn. She never knew what she was missing, or how much more there was to love, until she found him.
