Hey guys! It's a new chapter of talking to the moon! Yay!

I really appreciate your comments and follows and such…

Anyways, here you guys go, enjoy!


Finn waved and watched as Rachel's small pink car disappeared in the distance. As he sighed he turned back towards the front door, but before he could actually start walking, he appeared inside the house in a record of time. As Finn still tried to process over how the hell he teleported inside his home, his mom started walking towards him.

"Oh there you are Finny, I thought you wouldn't come back." She said with a shaky smile. Finn shook his head immediately.

"No- no of course not Ma. I was just talking to Rachel outside." A knowing smirk that he knew all too well spread on her face.

"Oh I know. I saw you guys hugging. It was adorable!" she gushed while beaming.

"Yeah, yeah mom o-… wait a second." The plaid shirted ghost sniffed at the air harshly. "A-Am I smelling what I think I'm smelling?" He asked as he tried his best not to just forget the whole conversation at hand and race towards the kitchen. Carol nodded.

"What you're smelling is right. I made your favorite lunch-" suddenly she was tackled by a hug from her very tall and hungry son.

"You made me a bacon cheeseburger?" He murmured into her shoulder. The taken aback mother laughed.

"Yes and it's a double burger. I don't know if ghosts actually eat so…"

"No we eat." Finn said hurriedly as he raced towards the kitchen; Carol trailing behind. Carol observed her ghostly son as he basically inhaled the sandwich in three minutes. By the time he already pushed his plate back, the cautious mother noticed a smudge of ketchup on the corner of his lip. She picked up his napkin and before Finn could protest, she dabbed a little saliva from her tongue and rubbed the saucy remains off his face. Tears sprang to her eyes when she saw his eyes close in contentment at the simple motherly touch. When she sniffled, the boys eyes opened abruptly and was soon filled with worry.

"Mom you okay? I know this is new to you but-"

"You don't know how much I've missed moments like these." she croaked out, as a few warm tears fell down her cheeks. As if it was automatic, the clumsy ghost pulled her into a hug and smiled when he felt her relax.

"Mom I'm here now, for the both of you. I'm not leaving until the both of you are better." As they pulled apart, Finn wiped her eyes and kissed her cheek. "Okay?" He asked smiling. Nodding, Carole give the exact same smile before saying "okay" in response.


"…So that's it. That's how I got here."

Carol nodded slowly as she tried to process over everything. "Okay I know I shouldn't believe what you just told me… b-but you're here right? So it can't be false."

"Yeah it's not. Go-" suddenly a jingling of what sounded like keys filled the area as Burt appeared from behind the front door.

"Honey I'm home! I always wanted to say that." He said happily. Finn watched as he kissed his mom on cheek and sat down next to her; putting Carole in the middle. Finn then took an opportunity to look at his step-dad, as he made small chatter with the bewildered mother.

Burt's form looked okay from where Finn was looking. He had a few worry lines on his face and bags under his eyes, but other than that, he was basically just as normal as he was before.

"So, how was your morning honey? Did you have someone over?" He asked, a smirk on his face.

"N-No why would you think that Burt?" She stammered.

"Well it sort of smells like hamburger in here, and there's dishes in the kitchen." He exclaimed as he gestured towards the kitchen. Carols eyes widened.

"Oh, um…yeah Kurt stopped by." The tire shop owner straightened up in his seat.

"Oh really? Kurt didn't tell me he was coming to visit." She nodded.

"Me neither. Kurt and R-Rachel stopped by before Kurt had to see Blaine and Rachel went to visit Leroy and Hiram. But don't worry, honey Kurt'll be back for dinner." Finn noticed that his mom was shaking a little in anxiousness at the fact that her son was at one side of her and her husband was at her other side of her. He reached out and rubbed her back which caused her to jump in her seat.

"Hey, are you feeling alright? This isn't about Finn again is i-"

"No, no I'm fine Burt. She shook her head in order to convince Burt and herself that she isn't scared out of her mind right now.

Burt looked at her warily and nodded slowly. "Ok... well I'm gonna go change out of these ink covered clothes, and you know what? I'll make dinner this time." He offered as he rubbed her back comfortingly. After he stood up and left the family room, the uneasy mother let the breath that she was obviously holding.

"Mom, you alright?" Finn asked, looking at her. She nodded.

"Yeah. I'm ok."


"Dad? Daddy?"

"Rachela! Hiram she's here!" Leroy called as he rushed towards the Pettit brunette and pulled her into a bone crushing hug. Rachel dropped her pink luggage and reciprocated the hug in earnest feeling as Hiram joined in. When they broke apart, Leroy spoke first.

"How are you doing honey? How come you're visiting?"

"Leroy, Leroy let her breathe first. I'll take these to your room." He said as he grabbed her bags and made his way upstairs.

Rachel sighed in contentment at the homey atmosphere in the house. She sat down on the couch as both of her parents started badgering her for answers.

"Ok, ok. I'm here because I'm supporting the glee club during their incoming nationals competition. I'm gonna stay an extra week though, because Mr. Shuester is celebrating our one hundredth glee meeting. Apparently, everyone is coming to visit so... i-it'll be like a little reunion." She said as she smiled.

"That's great honey. Wait, how come you're here so late? Did you visit McKinley?" She shook her head no.

"No I um..." She gulped. "I visited the Hudmels house with Kurt." She exclaimed as she watched as their faces dropped from an excited smile to a sympathetic one.

"Oh…how's Carole and Burt doing?" Hiram asked, concerned. Her dad's told her last month that they had still kept contact with Finns parents, even after everything that happened. It was nice to know that their relationship wasn't estranged due to Finns sudden death.

"They're fine. I talked to Carole today but Burt was working so I didn't get a chance to say hi to him." She looked down at her lap as she felt both pairs of their eyes burn a hole in her head.

"So how are you feeling Rachel?" She looked up. "How are you coping?" Rachel took a deep breath before answering.

"T-Things are getting better; I've been feeling better. Y-You should ask Kurt, he's been saying that I've been progressing over time." She lied as her dads both narrowed their eyes on suspicion.

"You sure Berry pie? No breakdowns?... No nightmares?" She shook her head and chuckled nervously.

"Nope. I'm not a hundred percent and I may never be, but I'm good." Hiram and Leroy nodded reluctantly in unison. Rachel smiled softly. Leroy clapped.

"Ok, well your dad here made your favorite vegan lasagna and I made banana bread. Care to spend dinner with us?" With a immediate nod, the family of three got up and headed towards the kitchen.


"Rachel my times up. I-I have to go."

"No! Finn I'm not ready!"

"You are ready Rachel." He said as he started vanishing from his feet. "I love you."

"No, no! Baby please don't go!" She pleaded, tears cascading down her cheeks.

"I have no choice." He choked out. "Goodbye Rachel." He said as he disappeared completely. He was still calling her name...

"Rachel..Rachel..."

"RACHEL!" He yelled. It wasn't until Rachel opened her eyes that she she realized that it was just a nightmare when she saw Finn above her, shaking her.

When she finally noticed her surroundings, she broke out into uncontrollable sobs as Finn instantly laid down next to her, pulled her into his lap and pulled her close to him.

"Shhh. It's okay sweetie, I'm here." He whispered as he rocked her back in forth; like the time when she comforted him back in New York.

After the shaking and sobs subsided, Rachel started to explain.

"I-It was a nightmare. You were leaving for good, even though I wasn't over your death yet. I-It was so real." She whimpered out as more tears cascaded down her face. Finn kissed them away.

"I know." Finn simply said. Rachel pulled slightly out of his embrace and looked at him questioningly.

"W-What do you me-"

"Do you remember at Jean's funeral, Sue said that her sister once called her because "her body told her that she wanted to hear her voice?" When she nodded he continued.

"Well that's how I felt. I saw the dream too. And I heard you calling my name so I sort of…teleported here." She gasped as tears formed in her eyes again.

"Y-You teleported here because you heard me call your name?" He nodded.

"Yeah. I was asleep and it was almost like you were right there. It actually happened earlier today."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Finn exclaimed the sudden transportation from the outside of his house to the inside of his home. The ghost noticed that her eyes were still filled with tears and he gently pulled her closer to his chest.

"How come you're still crying?" He asked softly.

"I-I just feel ambivalent right now. I'm sad about the abrupt nightmare but at the same time, I'm happy that you're here and that our tether is still present." She looked up at him and gave him a small smile. He rubbed her back.

"Do you want me to stay? For the night?" When she nodded, he got up and laid her down on the bed before laying down himself. As if it was automatic, Rachel cuddled into his side as Finn wrapped an arm around her torso. He watched as she instantly drifted off to sleep and kissed her forehead before saying, "I'm not leaving. Not now, not ever."


That's the chapter! This was so emotional for me. :( Anyways, stay tuned!
