Here's the last Chapter, sorry for the long wait. I hope you enjoy the chapter and that you've enjoyed this story.
CHAPTER 14 – The End
"That wasn't your fault"
"But it was. He was punishing all of you as a way to punish me and he knew it. So I decided I had to confront him once and for all" Puck continued as he ran his hands through his short hair. "That's why my car was on the street and why my fingerprints are on his clothes"
"Noah are you saying that you attacked your father"
Puck shook his head lightly "I didn't have to. When I got to the house he was already dead"
"What do you mean he was already dead!" Rachel gasped. She jumped up and began pacing the garden. She eventually stopped and then turned back to Puck.
"I stormed into the house ready to let him have it but I walked in and the living room was a mess" Puck started to explain. He put his head in his hands unable to look at Rachel as he continued.
"And there he was in the middle of the room, just lying there. I checked his pulse…. And then I just freaked out I knew how it would look so I just bolted" Puck said chocking up at the end. Rachel sat back down next to him and took his hand.
"Are you sure he was dead when you left?" Rachel asked
"I checked, he was cold …. He was dead" Puck admitted. He hastily wiped away the tears in his eyes then looked over at Rachel who looked very deep in thought.
"I didn't kill him Rachel" Puck pressed, he needed Rachel to believe him even if the police didn't.
"I believe you Noah, it's just…. Who the hell did" Rachel wondered.
"I have no idea; I should have just called the police when I found him but I was worried they wouldn't believe me but now it doesn't even matter because it looks like I'm going down for it anyway" Puck sighed running his hands through his hair again. He felt trapped, like there was no way he was going to explain what he had done without looking guilty.
"I'm not going to let that happen" Rachel argued "Look we just have to figure out who did this, your father must have had more enemies than just my family"
"What makes you think we'll find something that the police haven't" Puck interjected looking at Rachel with doubt, he appreciated that she wanted to help but wasn't sure how she could, he also didn't want Rachel in any more trouble with the police than she already was just for him.
"They are so sure that it's one of us they probably haven't even looked at other options" Rachel argued shrugging. Puck could tell Rachel wasn't truly convinced by her own plan.
"Look tomorrow we'll go to your father's office, maybe they'll be something there" Rachel encouraged hoping to sound more hopeful than she felt.
"Thanks Rachel"
"Let's not mention this to anyone, especially Finn I don't want him implicated if this goes sour" Rachel reasoned quickly looking around to make sure nobody could hear them. It was getting late so Rachel got up from the seat ready to go back to her room before Finn came looking for her.
"Of course Rachel"
"We'll figure this out Noah" Rachel affirmed. She squeezed Puck's shoulder then went back inside to leave Puck to his thoughts.
The Next Day
10 hours later Rachel was getting ready to meet Puck while Finn sat up in their bed with his laptop in his lap. Rachel hadn't really slept at all since her conversation with Puck and she could tell that Finn had noticed something was off with her.
"Have you slept at all?" Finn asked worried as Rachel put on her jacket ready to leave.
"Just a lot on my mind" Rachel answered before giving Finn a sweet smile "But before you say anything I promise I'll have a nap later, I'm taking care of myself and the blub"
"Blub?"
"It's what I'm calling the invader" Rachel laughed. She walked back over to Finn and sat down next to him on the bed. Finns hand instantly went to Rachel's still flat stomach.
"Well I like that better than the invader" Finn said shaking his head before giving Rachel a light kiss "Where are you going anyway"
"I'm helping Noah pack up some stuff today at his parent's house while you're working on chapter 3" Rachel explained. Rachel didn't like lying to Finn but she knew that if she told him then he would want to help and Rachel didn't want anyone else getting in any more trouble than they all already were.
"I really don't want to" Finn whined. Rachel smirked at him as she opened up his laptop, where his latest draft was waiting for him to finish it.
"Yeah well Mercedes wants the first 5 chapters by next week so you have to" Rachel argued with a smile "What else is there to do until the police let us leave"
"Already mothering I see" Finn joked
"It's good practice" Rachel stated as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pushing Finn down onto the bed as she crawled into his lap.
"Besides if you done by the time I get back I just might have a treat for you" Rachel whispered as she kissed slowly down the side of Finn's jaw
"God you are great at motivation" Finn sighed happily as Rachel pulled away from him when they heard someone knocking on their door.
"Guys you decent" Quinn asked as she quietly walked into their bedroom. Rachel and Finn could quickly see that something was wrong. Rachel got off Finn's lap as the both got out of bed.
"What's up Quinn?"
"The police are here again and they want to talk to you Rachel" Quinn replied with a worried expression. Rachel and Finn shared a look before they followed Quinn out of the bedroom.

"What is this about?" Rachel asked as herself, Finn and Quinn walked into her father's office where Detective Martins, Will, Shelby and Rosa were waiting for them.
"Miss Berry can you tell us what this is?" The Detective asked handing Rachel a large photograph. Rachel looked closely at the photo as did Finn over her shoulder. It was a woman leaving the Puckerman house but all they could see was the back of her head.
"The back of someone's head" Rachel quipped throwing the photo on to her father's desk unsure why the police had come all the way to the plantation just for a photo.
"That's you Miss Berry, fleeing from the Puckerman household 10 minutes after the murder" The Detective pressed. He picked up the photo and pointed to the woman, looking at Rachel carefully.
"No it's not, I was here all day" Rachel argued rolling her eyes.
"Which nobody can calcify"
"We have security cameras I'm sure you can watch them then you'll know if our daughter left the premise that day Officer" Shelby snipped shaking her head. Quinn took a closer look at the picture while Finn looked over at Rachel.
"And I'm sure that a woman who grew up in this house can find ways of leaving that isn't picked up by the cameras" Detective Martins interjected giving Shelby a slight smirk.
"This is ridiculous you're turning this whole thing into a witch hunt against my family" Shelby argued pointing her finger at the detective who looked like he was trying his best not to roll his eyes. Will put a comforting arm on his wife who looked ready to smack the detective.
"We cannot ignore it when evidence is presented to us" Detective Martins demanded firmly "Noah Puckerman's DNA was found at the crime scene and your daughter was seen fleeing the scene ten minutes after a murder is committed"
"This isn't even me; it could be anyone. You've seen brown hair and assumed it's me" Rachel said shaking her head. Finn put his arm around Rachel, the last thing he wanted her to do was get even more stressed than she already was.
"She's also your height and build" The detective pressed.
"This could be anyone Detective and you're reaching so unless you are here to arrest my daughter then I would like for you to leave" Will affirmed. He waved his arm to the door then looked back over at the detective with a hard look.
"We'll be touch"
"I'm sure you will" Will retorted before looking over at the Berry Housekeeper "Rosa please can you make sure our guest leaves"
Rosa quickly followed the detective out of the door to make sure that he actually left the property. Shelby walked over to the desk and ripped the photograph in two before throwing it in the trash can.
"It wasn't me" Rachel said, she felt like it had to be said because even she couldn't deny it did look a little like her from the back.
"We don't think that" Shelby said carefully. Rachel took one last look at the trashcan then walked out of the room with Finn following behind her.
"You okay Rachel" Finn wondered
"I'm fine, my dad is right they are just reaching" Rachel shrugged. The two walked to the reception area where they saw Puck waiting for Rachel.
"Hey what were the detective doing here" Puck asked as he looked out of the window at the detective getting into his car with Rosa closely watching him.
"Nothing important, you ready to go?" Rachel rushed out. She picked up her bag and looked back over at Finn who had the same worried expression on his face he'd had all morning.
"Are you sure you guys should be doing this today?" Finn wondered doubtfully before adding "Why aren't the others helping you"
"They are busy and this shouldn't take long" Puck shrugged off, neither of them liked lying to Finn but they also knew they had no other choice. Finn had the most to lose if the press found out about what was happening in their mall town.
Rachel walked over to Finn and wrapped her arms around his and held his close. She looked up at him and softly kissed his lips.
"I'll see you later" Rachel whispered
"Not too much heavy lifting okay" Finn said, he gave Rachel a look so she knew he was serious and still unsure that she should be going out at all. Rachel couldn't tell if Finn knew they were lying or just worried about what had just happened with the detective.
"I promise; I love you" Rachel affirmed as she pulled away from him. Once they knew something she would tell him the truth and hopefully Finn would forgive her.
"Love you"

"It wasn't me; I have no idea who is was but I wasn't me" Rachel concluded as she got out of Puck's car. She had just finished telling him about the visit from the detective as they reached Puck's fathers office. Puck had made a call to his father's assistance who had luckily believed him when he said he wanted to box up some things so he promised to leave them a key to get in.
"But they believe it is, Rachel I don't want them thinking that you are somehow involved in this" Puck argued as they two made their way inside the small office building where Frank rented his office. Frank hadn't had a viable business in over four years so Puck wasn't exactly sure what they were going to find.
"Noah we've talked about this; they have no real evidence if they did one of us would have been arrested by now. I think they are just hoping one of us will confess to protect someone else and their job will be done" Rachel explained
"Well let's hope we find something" Puck sighed. The two walked into the office and saw that most things were already in boxes but there was still papers all over the desk and four filling cabinets to look through. There was also littered scattering the overflowing trashcan and plastic coffee cups all over the fall by the desk and the windows looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months.
"This place is a mess, looks like someone has already been here" Rachel said as she walked over to the desk and took a seat.
"I think it also looks like this" Puck shrugged. He walked over to the filing cabinet and the two silently starting looking through the papers hoping to find anything that would point to someone else having a grudge against his father
"Find anything?" Puck asked after ten minutes of searching when he noticed Rachel's looking intensely at the computer screen.
"I managed to get into your father's email account, looks like he got an email about some life insurance him and your mom took out" Rachel answered as she continued to read through his emails.
"Probably something they have had for years" Puck shrugged off. He continued to look through the filing cabinet, although all he was finding were old bills and memos from the many companies his father had started.
"According to this, it was taken out just a month ago" Rachel further explained. Puck looked over at Rachel and could tell she was thinking up something in her head.
"What is it?" Puck pressed
"Your father also has an email from Mr Booth, he's a divorce lawyer" Rachel stared hard at the screen as Puck looked over at her "Your dad was planning on leaving your mom"
"What going on, what are you thinking?" Puck pressed. He walked over to the desk and he noticed Rachel was looking over at a picture of his mom and dad that was on his father's desk. It was of them hugging at a charity event a few years before. Anyone who knew them could see how fake it was but he wasn't sure why Rachel was staring at it so intensely.
"Your mom looks like me from the back" Rachel said cautiously. Puck grabbed the photo and looked at it for himself, was Rachel applying what he thought she was?
"Rachel…"
"Noah where was your mom at the time of the murder" Rachel asked
"Don't be crazy Rachel!" Puck said shaking his head. He slammed the photo back onto the desk then looked back over at Rachel.
"Think about it Noah, why would your mom take out life insurance on your dad, maybe she found out your dad was planning to leave her once he got the plantation and she wanted revenge" Rachel explained, she knew herself how crazy it might have sounded but it sounded a lot more reasonable than any of her family murdering Frank.
"No way" Puck shook his head, but Rachel could see he was starting to have his doubts.
"Why couldn't you have just left this alone" Debra said as she walked into the room. Rachel quickly noticed the deranged look in her eyes and the small pistol in her hand.
"Mom is she right, did you do this" Puck asked. He then noticed the gun in his mother's hand so he quickly stood in front of Rachel as his mother was staring her down.
"Your father's assistant rung me and said you wanted the key and I knew you were looking for something and I can't have that"
"Mom what is going on?" Puck demanded, he moved over to his mother but her eyes were trained on Rachel.
"He was weak your father, he played a good game but he could never do what really needed to be done to win" Debra rambled waving her arms around
"So you killed him for money"
"For my life back! All he ever did was try and find a way to get that stupid plantation and for what. We were broke; the bank was about to take our house. He pissed away the money you gave him. He was useless, he was no man" Debra shouted. While she was telling Puck, her eyes never left Rachel who was inching closely away from Debra.
"You were about to get the plantation though, everything would have been okay" Puck argued helplessly. Puck moved over to his mother and grabbed her by the arms so she would look away from Rachel and at him.
"Your father would have messed that up like he messes up everything else" Debra ranted looking up at Puck. In her moment of distraction Rachel took her phone from her pocket and dialled 999.
"Mom you're not making any sense" Puck cried. Debra pulled away from Puck and started to pace the office. She started throwing papers around while Rachel and Puck looked on helplessly.
"Nobody was supposed to know it was me, I was going to make it look like a suicide I would have got the money form the life insurance and your father and this place would be a distant memory" Debra explained, with an almost crazed look "I would finally be free"
"I should have known that she would have messed it up, like she messes up everything else" Debra shouted looking back over at Rachel, who had a hand behind her back.
"What is that, are you on the phone to someone" Debra shouted rushing over to Rachel "GIVE ME THAT"
Debra grabbed the phone from Rachel's hand and threw it across the room. Debra threw her arm around Rachel's neck and pointed the gun to her head.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Rachel cried. She struggled against Debra but she just held on to Rachel's neck tighter.
"This is all your fault; why couldn't you have just left well enough alone then none of this would have happened" Debra snapped. She let go on Rachel and threw her onto the fall, while still keeping the gun pointed at the young woman. Puck didn't dare move as she didn't want to spook his mother who held all the power with her hand tightly wrapped around the gun.
"Mom don't do this"
"She knows too much Noah" Debra shook her head unable to look at her son "This is all her fault, she the reason you didn't marry Quinn, she's the reason that this all happened. It's because of her that I had to resort to this just to get anything done"
"Mom Rachel is pregnant; she's having a baby. You don't want to hurt an innocent baby" Puck tried to reason with his mother.
"I'm sorry but this has to be done"
"Oh god" Rachel cried. Rachel held her stomach and closed her eyes tightly. Puck looked on helplessly and quickly noticed a paperweight on his father's desk, before he could think about it Puck picked it up and slammed it against his mother's head. Debra was knocked out instantly and fell to the fall. Puck grabbed the gun and put the safety on before rushing over to Rachel who was still crouched on the fall.
"Are you okay Rachel?" Puck rushed out. Puck put both his arms around Rachel and helped her up off the floor.
"Yeah" Rachel sighed leaning heavily onto Puck before looking over at his mother "Is she..."
"No just knocked out" Puck answered as they both looked over at his mother's body. Neither could believe what had happened. Rachel held on to Puck as he almost fell onto the desk and started to cry.
"My mother killed my father"

"Rachel!" Finn shouted as he rushed around the car park "Rachel you here" Finn ran around the ambulance and police cars when he finally saw Rachel at the back of the ambulance he stopped "Oh god, are you okay?"
"I'm fine" Rachel affirmed as he took her in his arms "This is for the shock"
"I can't believe it, are you sure you're okay" Finn pressed. He wrapped his arms around Rachel then looked over at Puck who sat next to Rachel in the ambulance with the same blanket around him.
"I'm fine" Rachel replied all thought she tightened her hold on Finn's waist as the others made their way to them. They all wanted to hug Rachel and Puck but they could see that Rachel just wanted Finn and Puck looked like he was ready to break down if any of them touched him.
"Well I think we should still go to the hospital to double check"
"You okay Puck?" Sam asked looking over at his friend, who was a million miles away. There were 3 ambulances, 4 police cars, about 15 police office, all his friends and at least 15 nosy people coming to see what was happening but Puck didn't see any of them as she stared off.
"Where's your mom?" Quinn asked.
"Already at the hospital, with the police once she's been given the okay they are going to take her down to the station" Rachel answered once they could see Puck wasn't going to. They all looked over at Puck, unsure what to say next. There were a few minutes of silence as they all thought about what had happened.
"She was going to kill you" Puck whispered finally looking over at Rachel, who lightly shook her head while still holding on to Finn.
"I don't think she wanted to Noah, she was scared and didn't know what else to do" Rachel argued more for Puck's benefit than actual belief it was true.
"Bat shit crazy sounds more accurate" Santana quipped, while she had whispered it Quinn, Will and Shelby had heard as they were closest.
"Santana!" Quinn hissed lightly smacked her friends arm before looking back over at Rachel and Puck.
"What do you need Puck?" Mike asked.
"I need to be alone right now" Puck proclaimed. He threw the blanket of himself then got out of the ambulance.
"Puck let us help you" Quinn pressed, she grabbed Puck's arm to stop him from leaving but he quickly pulled it away.
"I just need some space to think" Puck sighed, he looked over at all his friends then walked away from them.
"I'm gonna follow him" Mike told the others before he followed after Puck. Rachel leaned into Finn and they could all see was tired and everything she' been through they wanted to help at least one person. Will noticed Detective Martins walk past then so he quickly got the Detective's attention.
"Detective is my daughter allowed to leave, we would like her to have a check-up quickly so that she can go home" Will asked shortly. Santana and Quinn gave the Detective dirty looks. They knew that if he had listened to them and done his job properly know of it would have happened.
"Miss Berry has given her statement, she's free to leave" The Detective answered sheepishly "I'm very sorry for all the strain this has put on you all"
"Yeah just think about all the time you could have saved if you had just gone to Frank's office first maybe you would have solved the case in an hour like Puck and Rachel did" Santana taunted giving Martins another dirty look.
"Again we're sorry" The Detective said before quickly walking away.
"Let's get you home" Finn said as he put his arm around Rachel and helped her from the ambulance.

"Puck's back" Finn said as he walked into Rachel's and his room. Once Rachel was deemed perfectly healthy by the family's doctor Finn had made her go to their room to rest and had not let her move since.
"Is he okay?" Rachel asked. Puck and Mike had been gone for three hours and none of them had heard anything from them. Finn sat down next to Rachel on the bed and put a plate of food in between them.
"Sam and Mike are with him, he's still quiet but seems better than he was" Finn explained as he handed Rachel a plate of food "Eat!"
"I still can't quite believe it" Rachel sighed as she started to pick at the food in front of her. While Rachel wasn't really hungry she knew Finn wouldn't let her get away with not at least eating some of it.
"The detective said that Debra knew about the divorce so she took the plan out and planned to make it look like a suicide but when Frank got the email he went to the house and confronted her about it and we know the rest…"
"She's going to be in jail for a long time" Rachel stated. Rachel couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Debra, she couldn't imagine what being married to Frank for so long had done to Debra's wellbeing. The woman had finally snapped and now the person really hurting was Puck.
"Well you're safe that's all I care about" Finn affirmed as he wrapped his arm around Rachel ad pulled her close "Remind me to get mad at you later for going to the office in the first place to look for something… and lying to me"
"I had to help Noah" Rachel pressed as she curled into Finn while still eating the cherry tomatoes on her plate.
"You could have gotten killed" Finn argued, he lightly kissed Rachel's head before picking up one of the sandwiches.
"But I didn't"
"You got lucky but if you had, I would have killed you"
"How romantic" Rachel laughed just as their door opened further and their friends walked in.
"And totally inappropriate to say given what just happened" Santana quipped as she took a seat at the foot of the bed and took some tomatoes from the plate.
"Hello Santana" Finn sighed as the others took a seat on the bed as well. Puck came in last and closed the door behind him before taking a seat at the desk.
"You guys busy?" Santana asked
"Would it matter if we were?" Finn replied giving Santana a knowing look before looking back over at Puck who still seemed lost in his own thoughts.
"You okay man?" Finn asked
"I will be" Puck tried to smile encouragingly but everyone could see he was struggling. Puck didn't have the best relationship with his parents and even after everything that had happened between him, Rachel and Quinn none of them would wish this for them.
"Can we agree to no more parties here, at least for a little while" Mike sighed.
"Agreed" All of them replied in union.
"Well at least until you two get married" Quinn said smiling over at Finn and Rachel, who shared a loving look. Despite everything they were all still here, they had all survived and that was all that mattered.
TWELVE MONTHS LATER
"They are going to kill us, if they find you in here" Rachel laughed as she looked over at Finn who was turned to his side on the bed looking over at Rachel.
"I don't care"
"I know but Quinn will probably cut off part of you that I'm very fond of" Rachel joked.
"Well I'm not surprised they did help make her and him" Finn quipped looking down at the two babies between them.
"Are you excited about mommy and daddy getting married" Rachel cooed as she lightly tickled her daughter's feet. Rachel got the reaction she wanted when Rose starting smiling at her parents.
"If they can make it through the whole thing without crying then I'll be impressed" Finn stated. Rose and Harry were both in the faze of not wanting to be held by anyone but Rachel and Finn and they both hoped the twins would be well behaved through the ceremony sitting with their grandparents.
"We should probably go find the others, I'm having breakfast with all the girls before I have to start getting ready" Rachel reasoned. The two of them got out of bed and each picked up a baby to go find the others. They didn't have to look far because once they left their room they saw Santana, Puck and Mike stood outside Quinn's room all with their ears to the door.
"What are you doing" Finn asked.
"Oh hey guys, happy day blah blah blah" Santana rattled off, she waved her arm over to the pair but didn't take her eyes off the door.
"Wow I feel so special" Rachel laughed
"Sorry but we're pretty sure that Quinn and Sam are in there …. Together" Mike said. He moved away from the door and looked over at the couple with a silly smile.
"What! No way" Rachel gasped. She handed Rose to Mike then leaned down and pressed her ear to the door with Santana while Finn, Mike and Puck stood back.
"We shouldn't be listening to this" Finn stuttered shaking his head as Harry tried to grab his hair. He bounced his daughter up and down to keep her entertained.
"Never lose that innocence Finnesnse" Santana smirked.
"Okay I think they are finished" Puck stated with an amused smile. It was nice for all them to finally see Puck happy again after everything that had happened even if it was because of one of his friends having sex with his ex-finance.
Santana nodded in agreement then quickly opened the door and walked into Quinn's room.
"Santana!" Quinn gasped. She quickly tried to cover herself and Sam with the bed sheets while the others walked into the spacious bedroom.
"What do we have here?" Mike taunted as the group all looked down at the couple with knowing smirks.
"Oh my god" Quinn groaned, she was already blushing and had her head in her hands.
"Finn cover our babies' eyes" Rachel laughed. Finn covered Harry's eyes while Mike covered Rose's while the others got a good look at their friends.
"Don't you guys ever knock!" Sam argued
"Have you just met us" Santana retorted
"So how long has this been going on?" Puck asked looking between the pair. He wasn't at all bothered by what they had walked in on and was genuinely happy that Quinn had found some happiness.
"Kill me now" Sam grunted looking away from his friends.
Santana looked over at Rachel and Finn with a wide teasing smile "Happy Wedding day"

"I don't understand why you didn't tell us" Rachel said as she took a sip of her champagne while a hairdresser was doing her hair and her son slept soundly in her lap.
"It's still new, we didn't want to jinx it and we didn't want to tell you until it was more serious" Quinn explained. She held out her hand for the manicurist while her other was wrapped around Rose who was also asleep on her lap.
"And is it?" Santana pressed. She was having her makeup done and luckily didn't have a baby in her lap drooling on her silk dressing gown like the others did. The girls were in Quinn's room getting ready for the wedding. Despite Shelby's best efforts Rachel had kept her wedding small and Quinn and Santana were her only bridesmaids.
"We shouldn't be talking about this. It's your wedding day Rachel we should be talking about you" Quinn sighed looking over at her sister, who had her eyes closed as she relaxed, she was enjoying having two sleeping babies at the same time. Since their birth 4 months before it had really only happened twice.
"I'm good" Rachel waved off.
"You nervous?" Quinn wondered
"Not at all, I've been waiting for this for two years" Rachel smiled. She looked down at her son who had the cutest look on his face while he slept then over at her daughter who was starting to wake up. she quickly handed Quinn a bottle to settle her daughter.
"And you already have these little cuties, how much more committed to you need" Santana reasoned. She tickled under EN's chin as she drank her bottle. The two new additions had brought them all closer together because now they wanted to make sure they were able to see the little ones grow up.
"I love that dress on her and Harry's suit is the cutest thing I've ever seen" Quinn beamed. Rose had on a pale pink dress that matched the colour of the bridesmaid dresses while Harry was wearing a suit that matched Finn's.
"You mean the dress and suit you picked out" Rachel quipped
"Knock, knock I'm coming in the room" Sam proclaimed loudly as he slowly opened the bedroom door.
"Okay Sam we get it" Rachel said rolling her eyes. Quinn sat up a little straighter as Sam walked in.
"Just showing you how to knock on doors" Sam retorted, he smiled over at Quinn, who smiled back already blushing. Rachel and Santana shared an amused look at the pair.
"What do you want Evans" Santana pressed as she took a drink of her champagne.
"You look very pretty Quinn" Sam smiled sweetly at Quinn, who was trying her best not to blush harder as she smiled sweetly at Sam.
"Thank you, you look very handsome Sam" Quinn returned while Santana rolled her eyes at what she thought was sickening display.
"Hello I'm the bride!" Rachel called which awoke her son. She began to bounce him to settle him down. EN put his head on her shoulder as he began to fall asleep again.
"You look beautiful Rachel" Sam said without taking his eyes off Quinn
"What are you doing here Sam, this is a lady only area" Santana snipped, the assistant finished her make up so Santana got up to grab another bottle of champagne from the bucket on the table.
"I've come for Rose and Harry, people are arriving and your mom wants to show them off and get a few pictures" Sam explained finally looking over at Rachel.
"Does my mother know they are not show ponies" Rachel replied. Rachel didn't want her children to have to be breathed on all day by family members but she knew they would be no way around it.
"Finn said the same thing and her response was stare at him without blinking for at least 3 minutes so he made me come here and get them" Sam explained with an almost frightened look. Rachel nodded her head in understanding.
"Okay but keep them away from Finns uncle Rob – he spits" Rachel said. She handed Harry to Sam then he took Rose from Quinn. They had all become experts at carrying two babies in the last four months. Sam quickly left the room as Santana walked over to the town and handed them both an empty flute glass.
"Well now that the munchkin's have gone we can crack this open" Santana cheered as she held up the champagne bottle before pouring them both a glass.
"To Finn and Rachel" Santana said holding up her glass.
"Finn and Rachel"

"Oh Finn they get cuter every time we see them" Carole beamed as she smiled widely at her two youngest grandchildren who were settled in their father's arms. He had taken them around all the relatives and thankfully none of them had got to close to distress his children.
"They are something" Finn agreed as he bounced them both gently.
"Your Uncle Rob wanted to hold them" Carole said, giving her son a look. They were both stood at the front of the aisle waiting for the ceremony to start.
"Maybe later once they have spit up over themselves first" Finn replied. Carole gave a son a small smile before she went to find her husband. Finn remained stood at the front while Mike and Sam helped everyone find their seats.
"You ready for this" Puck asked as he came to stand next to Finn. He began to take EN from Finn but quickly stopped when the baby began to fuss.
"I've been ready since the first time I kissed her" Finn affirmed as he settled his son. He had a feeling Rachel and he would spend most of the day with their children in their arms.
"How you doing? How's your mom" Finn asked.
"She's doing well, the new prison is a bit more open space for her and she doesn't have to wear the jumpsuit anymore which is all she really cared about" Puck answered. After everything that happened Puck knew his mother needed him despite how he felt about the situation so he'd been visiting her once a week since she had been sent down.
"What about you?"
"I'm doing okay, I enjoy working here and with Will, I think I'm starting to move past what happened. My parents were …." Puck trailed off. Finn knew it was still hard for Puck to talk about his parents so he didn't push it.
Puck shook his head then slapped Finn lightly on the back "Anyway enough about that, let's get you married"

"Ladies and gentlemen we are gathered here today to celebrate … "Puck trailed off when Harry started to cry. Finn and Rachel smiled at each other knowingly before looking over at their son.
"Shush sweetie" Carole encouraged as she bounced Harry on her lap, she tried putting a pacifier in his mouth but he spat it back out. Rachel and Finn looked back at Puck who quickly continued.
"To celebrate Rachel and Finn, two people who – "Puck stopped again when Harry started crying again holding his hands out for his father. He began to fidget in his grandmothers arms who tried her best to settle him before looking over at her son helplessly.
"Give him here" Finn said as he took Harry from Carole. Harry immediately stopped crying once he was in his father's arms.
"Hey baby" Rachel smiled at her son in Finn's arms then looked over at Puck "Keep going"
"Right! Two people who meet in this very building two years ago, they – "Puck was cut off again by Rose who started to cry in Shelby's arms. She held out her arms for her mother. Rachel looked over at Finn amused.
"She doesn't want to be left out" Rachel laughed as she walked over to her mother and held out her arms for her daughter
"Come here Sweetie" Rachel picked up her daughter and walked back over to Finn. Rose cuddled into her mother's embrace "Feel better now Rosie"
"You know I think we should do the quick one" Puck told Rachel and Finn who nodded in agreement.
"Okay ladies and gentlemen we have two fussy babies who just can't wait for their parents to get married, just like the rest of us" Puck told the guests, who were all smiling at the baby's display. "So we're going to make this super quick and you'll get the lovey dovey version in our speeches later"
"Rachel do you take Finn to be your husband?" Puck asked looking over at Rachel.
"Absolutely" Rachel beamed, she took her daughters hand when she tried to pull on her earrings.
"Finn do you take Rachel to be your wife" Puck asked looking at Finn, who was smiling lovingly at Rachel.
"Sure" Finn shrugged playfully. Harry was pulling on his father's tie but neither of them noticed the fussy babies as they looked over at each other happily.
"Okay to the power vested in me by the lovely internet I now pronounce you husband and wife you may now kiss… "Puck stopped again when Rachel and Finn reached each other and kissed before he had a chance to finish.
"We're married" Rachel cheered once they pulled away.
"It's about time" Puck laughed as the all began to walk down the aisle.
XoXo
"You just wanted to be the centre of attention didn't you" Rachel laughed as she cuddled her son tickling his stomach. Rachel and Finn were feeding their twins at the top table an hour later, the rest of the wedding had gone off without a hitch as long as Rose and Harry stayed close to their parents.
"Just like their mother" Finn quipped, Rachel playfully scowled at him "What I mean is, I love you Mrs Hudson"
"Yeah, yeah" Rachel said as she finished giving Harry his bottle. She put it on the table then moved her son to her shoulder to burp him but not before putting a burping cloth over her shoulder, no way would she let her son ruin her dress.
"Hey guys great wedding" Santana proclaimed as she held up a bottle of wine. She took a seat next to Rachel.
"Looks like you're having fun" Rachel quipped. She gently patted her son on the back as Finn did the same with their daughter.
"Nobody got left at the altar or got murdered so I consider that a good day" Santana encouraged as she took another a drink of champagne.
"Give it time we don't leave until tomorrow" Mike quipped as he took a seat next to Finn.
"I think you just jinked us" Puck laughed sitting down next to Mike as Quinn and Sam sat down across from the at the table. Finn and Rachel finished burping the twins then swapped them over to give the other some attention.
"Oh do you want some attention again" Finn cooed as Harry started to fuss as he started to get sleepy.
"Just like his father" Rachel joked looking lovingly at Finn.
"I love you" Finn whispered to Rachel before sweetly kissing her on the lips, despite Rose pushing his hand between her parents Rachel and Finn continued to kiss.
"Ditto" Rachel said once they pulled away.
"BOOOOO" Santana, Mike and Puck chanted to the married couple.
"Leave them alone it's their wedding day" Quinn beamed smiling over at Finn and Rachel who were still looking at each other.
Sam looked over at all his friends "That's one wedding down, who's next?"
