Rachel had not let them take the boys away from her. She spent all night holding them and telling them how much they were loved. She was worried about Finn. She wanted to get out of the hospital and go see him. She knew that was the first place she was going to go. She had no plans to go back to the apartment when Finn needed her.
The doctor came in. Rachel asked, "Can we go home? My husband is in the hospital in Cincinnati. I need to go see him. He needs to meet our boys."
"I was coming in to tell you that you can go home."
"Great. Thank you so much."
Quinn stood up and said, "I'll go get the car. It has the car seats in it and you are ready to go. Call Carol and let them know that we are going to be on our way down there."
Rachel picked up her cell phone. Carol answered the call, "Hey Rach."
"Chris, Houston and I are being released. Quinn and I are going to be on our way down there soon."
"Are you sure that is such a good idea? The babies aren't even 24 hours old."
"I have to see Finn. He needs to meet his sons. I can't be all the way up here while he is in pain down there. How is he doing today?"
"He is staying conscious longer, but he won't talk to us. He just keeps looking at us. I think he is waiting for you to get here."
"Let him know we will be there as soon as we can. The nurse is here to take me and the boys to the car. We will see you all soon." Rachel hung up and got in the wheelchair. She held each of the boys in her arms. Another nurse helped them carry her presents and bags to her car. Rachel was more than ready to get out of the hospital and go to see Finn.
Rachel was sitting in the back seat with the boys while Quinn drove. Rachel looked down at them and said, "You get to meet your daddy today, boys. I bet you are excited. I know he is going to be happy to get to meet the two of you. You are all he would ever talk about."
Christopher looked up her and blinked. Then he fell back asleep. Rachel laughed and said, "They are going to be so much like Finn. They don't show emotion."
Quinn laughed and said, "As long as they don't have his temper and like to kick chairs."
Rachel giggled. "I still picture the times he would kick chairs in the chorus room. Poor Finny."
"You and Finn are truly perfect for each other."
"When we get to the hospital will you watch the boys for me so that I can go talk to Finn alone? Then I am sure I will have to bring them in to see him. I just want to see him for myself first."
"Of course, Rach. I am sure he is going to be fine. You have nothing to worry about. You are a new mother. That is more than enough on your plate."
"I just need to see Finn and know that he okay."
"He will be fine. He is a new dad. He is going to be fine."
The two of them kept driving.
They got to the hospital after what felt like an eternity to Rachel. She took the boys to a waiting room that was mostly empty. She sat in a corner and fed them. She knew they were hungry and fussy. She wanted to make it easy for Quinn to watch them while she went to check on Finn.
Rachel burped the boys and kissed their heads. She said, "Be good for Auntie Quinn. Mommy is going to go check on daddy. Then I'll come and get you so you can meet him. I'm sure he is going to ask all about you."
Quinn took the boys and said, "Tell mommy not to worry. Everything is going to be okay. There is nothing for her to worry about. We are going to be just fine."
Rachel went down the hall to the room that was Finn's. She knocked on the door and walked in.
Finn looked up and smiled despite the pain. He said, "Rachie!"
Kurt, Burt, Carol and Blaine left the two of them alone.
Rachel walked closer to Finn and could see the bruising on his face and arms. She kissed his forehead and said, "Hey baby. You scared me. How are you doing?"
"Rach, I'm sorry. I can't move my legs. The doctor told me it is a pair of lease or something."
Rachel sat next to him and said, "Finny, it's paralysis. It means you can't move anything from the waist down in your case."
"I understand if you don't want to be with me any longer. I wouldn't want to be with me either if I couldn't walk. I won't be able to play with the boys. I'm just going to be a pain for you. It will be like another kid for you to have to take care of. I don't want to do that to you. You deserve so much more. I already took her dreams of Broadway. Now this is happening."
"Finn, stop. I love you. It is me and you against the world remember?"
"Your belly is gone. Where are our boys? How awesome are they? I tried so hard to be there yesterday. I really did."
"It is okay, Finny. Everything is going to be okay. You are going to be here for a while. The boys and I are going to stay with you. I don't want you to be by yourself."
"You aren't going to stay here. I'm not going to let you. You and the boys need to be comfortable. That would not be in a hospital. You need to have a real bed and they need to have their bassinets."
"I don't want you to be here by yourself. I just want to be with you here."
"I can't let you do that. Chris and Houston need you more than I do."
"About them. I gave them each another name. I wanted them to be named after our best friends. I added Lucas to Christopher's name and Noah to Houston's."
"That is good. Will you please go get them? I don't think I can wait any longer to meet my sons."
Rachel smiled. She leaned over and gave him a long, passionate kiss. She was happy to see that though his life would never be the same, Finn was still the same Finn she had fallen in love with sophomore year.
Rachel walked out to the waiting room to find her fathers had arrived and were sitting with everyone else. Kurt was holding Chris and Quinn was holding Houston.
Quinn hurriedly walked over to Rachel and asked, "How is he doing?"
Rachel lost it. She didn't know what she was going to do with two babies and the only guy she ever loved paralyzed. She wanted to take away all his pain. It was her fault that he was this way to begin with. Rachel took Houston from Quinn and started sobbing over him. She said, "He is so sad. I don't know what to do to make him better. He is paralyzed. He is never going to be able to move his legs again. I don't know what to do for him. I don't know how we are going to do this."
Leroy came over and hugged his daughter. He was followed by Hiram. They hugged their daughter without squishing their grandson. Leroy told her, "We got you a hotel room. We already have the bassinets in there for the boys and we brought them clothes. We also brought you some outfits. I know you aren't going to want to leave him, but you have to think about your sons. You and Quinn can stay there. We are going to stay a few nights in case you need us. Finn is family and we are all going to stick together."
Rachel looked up at him and said, "Thank you daddy. It really means a lot to me. Thank you for being so supportive. I know Finn and I are going to need all of you. I need to get back in to see Finn. I just needed to come out and get the boys and cry a little. I didn't want him to see my like that. If you could give us at least a half an hour."
Carol told her, "We'll go get dinner. You and Finn take your time. We'll bring you back something." Kurt helped Rachel get the boys in their carriers.
Rachel took a carrier in each hand and had the diaper bag on her shoulder. She was definitely becoming a mother.
Finn was lying in bed when he heard the door open. Then he heard, "Daddy, I have a couple of handsome boys that want to meet you."
Finn tried his hardest to sit up in the bed on his own. Rachel sat the boys' carriers on the window ceil. She got Christopher out of his carrier and took him over to Finn. Rachel said, "Chris, this is your daddy. Daddy, this is Christopher Lucas Sterling Hudson. He has patiently been waiting to meet you."
Finn look one look at him and tears started falling from his eyes. He held out his arms and Rachel sat him in his arms. Finn looked down at him and said, "Hello handsome. You look like your mommy."
Rachel said, "Don't start crying now. You still have someone else to meet." Rachel walked over and got Houston out of his carrier.
Finn looked up and said, "He is handsome, too.
Rachel said, "Houston, I would like you to meet your daddy. Daddy, I would like you to meet Houston Noah Palmer Hudson." Finn moved his arms so that he could hold both of the boys.
"I finally get to meet my boys. I have been waiting so long to get to meet the two of you. I'm sorry I won't get to play a lot of sports with you in the future, but I want you to know that I will be at every game you ever play."
"Is there enough room for mommy on the bed?"
"Of course. Come snuggle up with us, pretty lady."
Rachel sat down next to Finn. She kissed his cheek and rubbed her hand over the heads of their sons. She felt like she was where she belonged. She was with the three guys that meant so much to her.
Finn told her, "It looks like I won't be leaving you now. I'm sorry this happened. I wish I could be more help. I know it is going to be hard for us. You are going to have three babies to take care of now."
"Finn, stop! You couldn't help that this happened. It is all going to be okay. You are going to be a great dad and you are a wonderful husband. We have so many people willing to help us if we need it. I'll quit school and get a full time job. Everything is going to be fine."
"I don't think so. You are going to finish school. I'm not going to ruin your life any more than I already have. You are going to get a degree."
"Finny, I love you. I am always going to love you. I think I love you more now than I did before. You are alive. That is what matters to me. You are going to be here for Chris and Houston. You are going to be here every day."
"I'll get a job on campus. I want to go to school. I want to help you out in any way that I can."
"You have nothing to worry about. I talked to Quinn about her and Puck living with us when he gets back. That will really help us out. Quinn will be there to help with the boys if you can't. It really isn't going to be easy for us, but we have amazing friends. I know they will help us."
"I think they would be a good idea. Rach, you gave me two of the cutest babies in the world. I love the three of you so much. I want you to know that I tried so hard to get to you yesterday."
"Don't even think about that. The boys are here and we are here with you. That is what matters. We are going to make everything work."
Chris started to fuss in Finn's arms. Rachel lifted him up and asked, "Are you hungry, baby? I think you are going to be just like your daddy. He likes to eat a lot, too."
Finn laughed as Rachel took Chris from his arms. She started to nurse him and soothe his ill temper brought on by his hunger.
Finn kissed her forehead and said, "You are a pro at that."
"It just comes natural. So far they are great babies. We have a doctor's appointment next week to check up on them."
"I'll probably still be here."
"I think they want to keep you for a week, but then you are going to have a lot of therapy. You can do therapy near home."
"That would be great. I would be able to be home with you and help the best that I can."
"I'm going to be home until January. I am going to have to go back to the daycare before that, but I have all my course work for the semester finished."
"That's my girl."
"Do you want to burp Chris? I need to feed Houston."
Finn smiled and said, "You may have to help me, but it would be my pleasure."
Rachel stood up and went to get the burp rage from the diaper bag. She put it on Finn's shoulder and showed him how to burp Chris. She took Houston from him and they did the process over again.
Rachel couldn't take her eyes off Finn as he got used to being a father. She knew he was going to be a great dad despite his disability.
