Looking for someone like you
AU. Finn has a life in New York as a teacher. He's really happy but somehow something is missing. When one of Blaine's old childhood friends decides to move to back into town, he doesn't come alone. And maybe this girl, Rachel Berry might be his something missing.
A/N: hello peeps! I've been a bit out of touch the last couple days but I'm back! I'm so glad you're still enjoying the story! It's so much fun to write a bit of a different side of Finn and Rachel. I do hope you like this one and I must thank you for all your amazing reviews! We've reached 100! I also wanted to let you know I began witting the sequel to "my best intentions loving you." If you were also reading it!
I own nothing, just my love for fictional characters! Happy birthday Glee!
Chapter 14: looking for that something missing.
"Do I look okay?" Rachel asked Finn as she plastered her dress down once more. They were going over to have dinner at Amber's and coming clean with the baby and whatever they wanted to do in the forthcoming months. She was extremely nervous.
"Babe, you look beautiful as always." Finn said standing behind her, pulling away a strand of hair to kiss the side of her shoulder. "It's not the first time you've met everyone."
"I just... I'm carrying your baby and..."
"Exactly, my family already adores you and now we are making our own.." Rachel closed her eyes as he kissed her shoulder once more. Her hormones had been all over the place these past weeks. So much that she smacked Patrick as soon as she had laid eyes on her for not being present at his wedding. "Finn..."
"What?" He asked huskily. "What's wrong?"
"We're going to be late, that's a horrible first step.."
"So... Don't tell me you want me to stop..."
"I..." She'd lost all coherent thought. "Just don't mess up with my clothes or my hair mister..." She said as he turned her around to kiss her. He moved to his knees so he was almost at her height, she saw him with a playful smile as he touched her belly softly. "I love you Rach." She took a hold of his short set of hair and ran her fingers trough it.
"I..." She gasped. "I do too...but seriously Finn, we are going to be so late.."
Finn's phone buzzed hysterically. Santana was calling him. They were supposed to be picking her up.
"Darn it San.." Finn breathed out. "Fine.. Lets go."
"What did you two do? Have a quickie?" Santana barged into the back seat. She knew Finn better than most. "So she's reached that point where she's horny all the time?" Rachel blushed. "Lets see if you can keep up with the little pixie, Lurch, you might be too old."
"Santana!" Finn pleaded.
"What? She knows how I am, and I am just stating the facts, I do remember Amber and Sam sneaking after football..."
"Can we not talk about my sisters sex life? Or my girlfriend's?"
"If you insist... So have you told your dads this one knocked you up?" Santana asked Rachel. She waved her head. "So they won't be happy about you not going to be a big star, and playing house?"
"I can still be on Broadway's lights someday, but my life with Finn comes first..." Yes, she'd passed on the funny girl role, she'd be too pregnant by opening night, also, telling her director scared her a bit, not that she was easily spoked. Not before getting pregnant anyway, she thought the man would have the wrong impression of her but he had, unlike her expectations he'd offered her a job as a dance teacher, at first Finn was a bit worried of how she'd feel having to teach the girl replacing her but she insisted this was a good experience as well.
"If you say so little lady, you want me there when you tell them?"
"No, thank you. I think I'll be fine, they are coming next Sunday and I would like Finn and me to tell them."
"You sure he won't need a body guard?" She teased which caused Rachel to relax a bit.
"Sweetie, let me look at you!" Carole said hugging Rachel as soon as she walked trough the door. "Even though I am stil not old enough to be a grandma, I am so happy for you and Finn, this will be so good for both of you." Rachel let herself be wrapped in a hug.
"Thank you Carole, I think it will be good as well, specially for Finn, he's so excited and anxious about it but I have no doubt he'll be an amazing father." She looked over at her boyfriend who was siting with Shelby and the kids.
"So are you guys excited about Ryder's wedding?" Carole asked as they all ate In silence.
"Better be, this might be one of the last times Rachel wil be able to fit in a good dress." Kurt said. Someone might have kicked him over the table because he gasped.
"Don't listen to him." Amber smiled. "He just mad because he didn't get married first."
Blaine almost chocked on his drink. "See you made hair gel hair nervous.." Santana mocked.
"Everyone is getting married before Kurt... Poor baby..."
"Both of you, are pure evil..."
"No one is saying you and Blaine won't get married at some point son." Burt said.
"Yes, but Finn has to do it first, he already did everything backwards.." Amber said.
"Gee, I wonder where he got that idea from?" Kurt said.
"Enough of this." Carole said. "You're acting like children, we've all made out peace with whoever or whatever happened..."
"Mom, Why didn't you and dad get married?" Shane asked. It was an honest question. "Are you going to marry Puck?"
She and Noah shared a glance. "Someday sweetie. Not right now, today is about uncle Finn..."
"Are you going to marry Rachel, uncle Finn?"
"Yes, at some point.." Finn said rasping. "If she'll have me." Finn kissed her cheek softly.
"Grownups are too complicated... " Shane sighed. Beth, Danny and Joey mushed. "Why don't you all get married already? What if something happens, like what happened to my dad? And someone dies" Everyone became quiet. Rachel turned to look over at Finn. He had dropped his fork.
"I think we should go." Rachel said quietly. "It was all really lovely but Im a bit too tired..."
"Uncle Finn?" Shane asked worriedly. "Are you okay?"
"Yes Rachel, you're right, the first few months are pretty exhausting." Amber said. "Puck, why don't you take the kids upstairs..."
"Sure, come on kiddos, Lets go.."
Shane wanted to say he was sorry but Amber insisted on calling him later.
"You sure you're okay staying Santana? I really just want to take Finn home."
"No problem, Puck will drive me later." She said as they both turned to see Carole talking to her son. "This is a about what the doctor said, isn't it?" Rachel frowned. "He told me."
"Yes, I think he's just a bit too anxious."
"Death hasn't been an easy topic for him since what happened to Sam, he almost did too, you know died and that scares him. When you have an experience like that, it changes you."
Rachel nodded slowly. "I'll take care of him Santana."
"For some reason, I believe you will."
"Finn?" She rested her head against the bathroom door. "Are you okay in there?" The music coming from the inside didn't allow her to listen to him. She knew what he was listening to, it was a duet he and Sam had recorded back in school.
"I'm coming in, okay?" He was inside the tub, his legs against his chest. He looked at her and clicked the off button. Silence filed the room. "Hey."
"Hi." She sat by the side of the tub.
"Are you okay?" Why was he asking her that. "I'm sorry I scared you."
"It's fine. You didn't do anything.." She scooted closer so she stroke his face.
"I... I just froze. I... I don't know what came over me."
"Finn..."
"You sure you want to have a kid with me? I am kind of a mess."
"You're not a mess." He smiled softly. She moved closer and reached out for his hand under the water. "And if you are, then you are my mess and I love you and this baby. I don't make any promises that what happened to Sam won't happen to me or anyone else you love, but baby you have to open yourself to the chance to let good things come your way. You were my good thing, let me be yours, I want to help you."
"You already are Rach, and I love you for it. But... I just don't think I could lose you or our baby." She broke contact with him and began to undress. Her small bump making itself known for the first time, he noticed.
"I'm not going anywhere Finn." She joined him inside, moving so she was resting her body against his. Finn closed his eyes at the contact, his arms instantly protecting her. She moved her head up so she could look into his amber eyes. "Feel better?"
He nodded. His his lips finding hers. "You need to know something Finn. I Came to New York to pursue a dream, and it doesn't matter if that doesn't happen right away. Life's too short to live yourself in search of something less greater than love, one for me I thought meant to be on Stage." She took his hands and threw them around her body, resting them on her belly. "And it turns out there's a greater love for me than Broadway. And it's you, and whatever comes next. You are capable of great love, one that shines above all the loss." There was a long silence.
"Rach?"
"Hmm..."
"Do you really think I'll be a good dad?"
"What do you think?"
"That I can't wait to meet this little person and love him or her as much as I love you."
