A/N: Almost done with this story…But when it's finished, I'll continue my other finchel fanfic Always Together:) Hope you'll enjoy this chapter!

Rachel sat down on her bed and sighed. She had no idea what to wear tonight. She had already worn all her nice outfits and she didn't want to wear it again. She knew he wouldn't mind, he probably wouldn't even notice. But she still didn't want to.

In this past week, Finn had told her everything. The things she didn't know yet. He had told her about his daughter, Marley, who often was at Finn's mom's place, who appeared to be living in Ohio near Lima. He said he was too busy to take care of her, and that she deserved something better than living at his place.

But tonight she would be at Finn's, where Rachel would go to too and where they would have dinner together. Rachel was pretty nervous. What if Marley didn't like her? And Finn would break up with her because of that? Would Finn do that? She wasn't sure. But she still hoped that Marley would like her. Besides, Marley was just 4 years old, so she probably wouldn't have a real opinion anyway.

Rachel eventually found a dress from a few years ago which she bought for a premiere for one of her shows. It wasn't fancy so it was good for tonight. She took a cab and went to Finn's apartment, where she bumped into the one person she didn't want to see anymore. Jesse.

''Jesse?'' Rachel questioned, noticing him looking anywhere but her eyes.

''Rachel, hi!'' Jesse greeted her.

''Hi..what are you doing here? I didn't know you have an apartment here?''

''I don't..I just have a friend here who I visited.''

''Oh, okay.''

''What are you doing here? I thought you lived somewhere else?'' Jesse frowned.

''Yeah, I do. Finn lives here..so I'm here to visit him.'' Rachel explained.

''Finn, eh. You know, I first didn't like him. It all just seemed so fake between you two. But later, especially at the wedding, I saw this kind of true love.'' Jesse said. ''What you two share, it's special, Rachel. You should be so happy to have that.''

Rachel was stunned. She wanted to ask how Jasmine was doing, but all she really wanted to do was go upstairs and see Finn. She had talked long enough to Jesse now and she just wanted to see her boyfriend.

''I have to go.'' Rachel pointed. ''It was nice to see you again. Bye!'' Rachel quickly walked past him before he could say anything more. She knocked on the door as she arrived there and soon after Finn opened it.

''Rach!'' He greeted her, placing a kiss on her lips. ''You look gorgeous, babe.'' He smiled, gesturing her in.

''Is that her?'' She heard someone yell from the living room.

''Yeah, mom! It's her!'' Finn yelled back. ''My mom's here too.''

''How nice..'' Rachel blushed. ''Uhm..Can I use your bathroom?''

''Sure.'' Finn replied. ''You know where to find it.''

Rachel nodded and went to Finn's small bathroom down the hall. She just needed to breath first before meeting Finn's daughter and mom. She didn't expect this! What should she do!? Would his mom know that she had kind of used him? He did agree, though..

She exhaled deeply before returning to Finn.

''You okay?'' He asked softly, so his mom wouldn't hear it.

Rachel nodded and smiled. ''Just a bit nervous.'' She admitted.

Finn chuckled before wrapping his arms around her. ''She'll love you. They both will. And I love you too, of course.'' He kissed her cheek and took her hand. ''Come on.''

He pulled her into the living room where his mom was sitting on a couch. ''Mom, this is Rachel.''

The woman stood up and immediately hugged Rachel who was a little stunned by the gesture. ''It's so nice to meet you!''

''It's nice to meet you too, Mrs.'' Rachel smiled, feeling welcomed by the woman.

''You can call me Carole!''

''Where's Marley?'' Finn questioned, looking around the room.

''Playing with her toys in her room, where she never is.'' Carole replied coldly.

Rachel could already see that there was something wrong but she didn't want to ask anything.

Finn gave her a cold look back and went to Marley's room. ''Marley? Come on! I want you to meet Rachel.''

''I'm playing, daddy.'' A little girl's voice replied.

''Come!'' Finn snorted annoyed, which made Marley cry.

Carole sighed and went to Marley's room as well, leaving an awkward Rachel behind. ''What the hell did you do now?'' She questioned Finn.

''Nothing!'' Finn protested. ''I just want her to meet Rachel, is that too much to ask!?''

''She's four years old, Finn! Leave her play! She can meet her later!''

''No! I want her to meet Rachel now! She just has to listen to me!''

''Let's talk in the kitchen. Not here where the kid is.'' Carole said. They went to the kitchen where they continued discussing.

''Are you daddy's girlfriend?'' Rachel heard behind her. She turned around and looked straight in the eyes of Marley.

''Yeah..that's right.'' Rachel answered. ''Are you his daughter? Marley?''

Marley nodded. ''He once said I wasn't..so I'm not really sure.''

''Why don't you come and sit next to me on the couch?'' Rachel suggested.

''Okay.'' Marley smiled, making her way over to Rachel and sitting down next to her. ''Granny and daddy are fighting again..''

''Again? Do they do that often?''

Marley nodded. ''Every time they see each other, which isn't often.''

Rachel then remembered Finn telling her he didn't want to know anything about his family anymore.

''Do you see daddy sometimes?''

''Yes. Once in a while daddy comes and he takes me to the zoo or something.''

''Do you like that?''

Marley smiled. ''Yeah..I'm just always sad when he leaved again. I miss him.''

''Then why don't you live here? In New York? You do have your own room here..''

''Daddy can't take care of me because he's a moron, that's what granny said. He's very nice but he screwed up in life.''

''Did your granny tell you that?'' Rachel frowned.

''Not to me. I heard her say it.''

''Do you want to live here? Or rather at granny's place?''

''I love it at granny's. But I want to live with my daddy. Just like it used to be..''

''You did live at your daddy's?''

''Yes.'' Marley replied. ''But two years ago, when mommy died, daddy wasn't allowed to take care of me anymore, so I had to go to granny's.''

Carole and Finn came back and both looked very angry.

''Come on, sweetheart. Grab your coat, we're leaving.'' Carole pointed.

''I don't wanna go! I want to stay and talk with Rachel. She's nice.'' Marley smiled.

''You can better go, Marley. You can talk another time, okay?'' Finn said.

''Do you promise, daddy?''

''Yes, I promise.''

Marley put her coat on and soon after she and Carole left the apartment.

Finn sat down on the couch and sighed frustrated.

''What happened between you and your mom?'' Rachel questioned.

''When she met her husband, Burt. I was so mad, and named her things and stayed away from home for days. She hated me after that. Happily when Marley's mom died, she could take care of her.''

''Were you sad that Marley's mom died?''

''We weren't together. We never were. But I felt sad about the idea that Marley would grow up without a parent..just like I did.''

''She's now growing up with no parents at all, Finn. You should get her back, and you should make thing up with your mom and your family.''

''I can't…I'm not allowed to take care of her-''

''Try!'' Rachel cut him off. ''Finn, she's your daughter! And she loves you so much!''

''I would love to have her living with me again…teaching her stuff, being here for her when she needs me..''

''Then do it!'' Rachel told him.

''But-''

''No buts.'' Rachel cut him off again. ''And I'll help you. We'll get Marley back to you, and I'll help you make things up with your family.''

''Will you do that?''

''Of course. Of course I will.''
