Chapter 12
Setting
The Next morning at the Fabray household.
The next morning Quinn rolled over in her bed with a smiled plastered on her face. She couldn't remember a morning or time that she has been this happy with life. In just a short time she has been home too. Her life flipped on a dime but she wouldn't change it for the world. She had a wonderful baby boy that was a joy in her life. And his father is the love of her life. She was back together with Finn. And still in love with him more than ever. Quinn's attention was adverted when she heard Christopher making cooing noises in his crib. She flipped over the covers and got out of bed and walked over to the crib. She smiled down at her son and Christopher smiled back at her. Quinn reached in and picked him up. She cradled him in her arms.
Quinn- Hi my sweet baby boy. Did you have a good night sleep. I'm sorry I wasn't here when you woke up for your midnight bottle. Mommy went out with some friends. Something she hasn't done in quiet some time. Saw some friends I haven't seen in a while. But they were always on my mind. Guess how else I was with. Christopher gurgled and smiled.
Quinn- Your daddy was there also. And as you can see mommy is really happy this morning. And it has everything to do with your daddy. He told me that he loves me and always has. It's been me that has been in his heart this whole time and not that wench Rachael. Quinn went to sit down in the chair to feed him.
Quinn- I got even better news for you daddy and I are back together. You are going to have a mommy and daddy that are together. I don't know if it will be long term. We just have to take it one day at a time. Just the three of us Christopher. You and your daddy are my life and I can't see that changing any time soon. Quinn's conversation with her son was cut short. When her cell-phone rang.
She picked it up to see it was Finn.
Quinn- Speaking of your daddy. This is him. Quinn smiled.
Quinn-Hello.
Finn- Good morning beautiful.
Quinn- Same to you handsome.
Finn- How did you sleep.
Quinn- Like a baby.
Finn- Speaking of babies. How's mine doing.
Quinn- He is perfect as always. He's having a bottle as we speak. Finn laughed.
Finn- That is good but that is not the baby I am talking about.
Quinn- Finn did you forget to tell me you have another baby. She said with a laugh.
Finn- Ha, ha smartass but the baby I was referring to is you.
Quinn- I am good incredibly happy.
Finn- Is that so and who is this person that made you so happy this morning.
Quinn- Oh you know a handsome caring man. He is tall, good looking. He makes my heart beat faster whenever I am with him. And he happens to be the father of my son. He makes me so incredibly happy.
Finn- I feel the same way about you baby. So what is a good time to come
Quinn- How about noon. It will give me plenty of time to get myself and Christopher ready.
Finn- Noon can't come fast enough for me. I miss you.
Quinn- I miss you too. Quinn took the bottle away from Christopher's mouth and started to burp him.
Quinn- Finn noon will be here before you know it. Before either of them could say anything Christopher let out a big belch. Finn smiled.
Finn- That's my boy.
Quinn- Yeah he sure is. But I better finish feeding him. He has a big day ahead of him.
Finn- Alright I won't keep you long. I will see you both in a couple hours. Give him a kiss for me and tell him daddy will see him soon.
Quinn- I will do that. I love you.
Finn- I love you more. See you in a while.
Quinn- Alright bye.
Finn- Bye baby. And they both hung up their phones.
Quinn finished feeding Christopher and walked over to the changing table to get an outfit for him.
Quinn- You have a big day today. Not only is uncle Kurt coming to see you. So is Grandma Carol and Grandpa Burt are all coming to meet you. Don't worry they are going to fall in love with you the minute they see you. Now lets go take a bath. Then while you hang with Grandma and Grandpa. Mommy will get ready herself. Quinn walked out of the room and into the bathroom to bathe Christopher.
An hour later Quinn walked down the stairs after getting Christopher ready. She found her parents sitting in the dinning room eating breakfast and reading the paper.
Quinn- Good morning mom and dad and how are we all this morning. She said in a happy voice. And she seemed in a lot better mood. It didn't go unnoticed by either of them. That their daughter seemed to be glowing this morning. Which they haven't seen her in quiet some time.
Judy- Someone is a little cheerful this morning.
Quinn- Yeah I feel happy is all.
Russell- We can see that. Want to tell us what has changed that put a bounce in your step.
Quinn- At dinner last night. Finn and I had a long talk. About our feelings and how we feel about each other. He loves me and more importantly I love him. We are going to give us another try.
Judy- We are happy to hear that honey. We know how much you love him and miss him. Now maybe you and Christopher can move back home.
Quinn- I haven't thought about that. Even though I love Paris it's not home. This is where we belong here with our friends and family.
Russell- Well I am happy to see you this happy.
Quinn- Can't remember the last time I was this happy. By the way just so you know. Finn, his mom, Burt and Kurt are all coming over this afternoon to meet Christopher.
Judy- Oh how wonderful.
Quinn- If you two want to join us. You are more than welcome too.
Russell- We will be there.
Quinn- Dad will you watch him while I go and get ready. Russell smiled and walked over to Quinn and gently took Christopher from her.
Russell- Come on slugger let's go do some grandpa/grandson stuff. He turned around and walked out of the room. Quinn smiled and walked back up the stairs to get ready.
Meanwhile at the Hudson/Hummel household. Finn walked into the kitchen and kissed his mother on the cheek.
Finn- Good morning all and how is everyone this fine morning. Both Burt and Carol couldn't believe this was the same Finn they saw yesterday.
Burt- Someone is rather chipper this morning.
Finn- A lot has changed in a day.
Carol- Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us what happened to put that smile on your face again.
Finn- Well for one I broke things off with Rachael. Kurt walked in the kitchen as he said that.
Kurt- It's about time too. Both Carol and Burt were surprised by Kurt's attitude towards Rachael.
Burt- Son I've never known you to be so rude about anyone.
Kurt- Well if you have seen how Rachael treats Quinn you would feel the same way I do.
Finn- It was a mistake to get back together with her. Not one of my best decisions.
Kurt- You have had plenty of bad decisions. One of them was treating Quinn they way you did.
Finn- I know that Kurt. And I'm not going to make that mistake again. The reason I am so happy this morning. Because the woman I love more than life itself. Has agreed to give me another chance. Even though I don't deserve it. But I am going to spend the rest of my days. Loving her and my son. Speaking of my son. How would you like to meet him today. Carol's eyes filled with tears.
Carol- I would like nothing more than to meet my grandson. She said excitedly.
Finn- Well be ready to go by 11:30. And also she wants Burt and Kurt to join us. She said something about. She wanted Christopher to be with all of his family.
Carol- Well I better go get cleaned up then. It's not every day that I get to meet my grandchild. Carol excitedly got up and out of the chair and out of the kitchen.
Burt turned to Finn after Carol left.
Burt- I am happy to see you happy again.
Finn- Thanks that means a lot to me. I know I have been a pain to live with. But now that the love of my life is back. And a son I never knew I had. I've never been this happy. And nothing is going to ruin it. I can see perfectly clear now. I can see a future with Quinn one that includes marriage and even more children. And before you say anything yes this is what I want. But after we have finished high school and college.
Burt- That is good to hear. Well I better go get ready myself. Then he himself walked out of the kitchen.
A few hours later Finn, Carol, Burt, and Kurt all arrived at the Fabray's doorstep. Carol looked at Finn.
Carol- Do I look alright?
Finn-You look fine mom. Don't worry mom he is going to love you. A few seconds later Judy walked up to the door. She opened it with a smile.
Judy- Right on time. Please come in. All four of them walked into the house. Both Carol and Judy hugged.
Carol- It's good to see you again Judy.
Judy- You too please come in.
Judy- How have you been Carol?
Carol- Good excited.
Burt- We heard about what happened with Russell. I hope he is doing alright.
Judy- Oh he is doing much better. Now that Quinn is back. He spent most of the morning bonding with Christopher. He loves that little guy so much.
Finn- Speaking of Christopher where is he and Quinn.
Judy- Quinn went up to get him a few minutes ago. He was taking a little nap. Quinn didn't want him to be cranky when he met his grandma. Please come in and sit. Quinn will be down shortly.
A few seconds later Russell walked down the stairs.
Russell- Quinn will be down shortly. She is just changing Christopher's diaper. Then she will be down. Hello everyone it's nice to see everyone.
Burt- Hello Russell how are you feeling?
Russell- A whole lot better now that my daughter and grandson are home. And where they are going to stay.
Finn- Quinn is going to stay.
Russell- She said it was time to come home. That this is where she belonged. Finn, Carol, Burt, Kurt, Judy and Russell all sat down. While they waited for Quinn and Christopher.
Meanwhile upstairs Quinn has finished feeding Christopher and brought him over to the changing table.
Quinn- Ok buddy it's an exciting day for you. You are going to meet Grandma Carol and Grandpa Burt. They are going to love you the minutes they lay eyes on you. How can they not you are so easy to love. Just like your daddy is. Speaking of your daddy let's go say hi to him. I bet he misses you. Quinn picked him up and walked out of the room.
Quinn made it to the top of the stairs and she slowly made her way down the steps. Finn looked up to see Quinn and Christopher. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. Finn got up from his seat and made his way over to them. They met at the bottom of the stairs. Everyone else looked on as the little family came together. They both smiled at each other. Finn leaned down and kissed her.
Finn- I missed you last night.
Quinn- I missed you too. Quinn looked down at Christopher who was looking up at her.
Quinn- Hey baby guess who is here. Quinn moved Christopher so Finn could see his face.
Quinn- Your daddy is here to see you. Quinn gently put Christopher in his arms.
Finn- Hey buddy how's daddy's little man. I missed you last night. Finn leaned down to kissed his head.
Quinn and Finn had a nice family moment with their son.
Quinn- Baby I think it's time this little one met his grandma.
Finn- You are right. Finn leaned over and kissed her cheek. Then put an arm around her. Quinn put an arm around him. And they walked over to where Carol and Burt were sitting. They both stood up from the couch. The tears came to Carol's eyes once she caught sight of her grandson. Who is the splitting image of her own son. Finn looked down at his son.
Finn- Hey buddy I have a few people who want to meet you. Christopher I like you to meet your Grandma Carol and Grandpa Burt and of course you already know Uncle Kurt. When Finn called him grandpa Burt didn't know what to feel.
Burt- Grandpa.
Quinn- Of course you are going to be his grandpa. He has only known my dad as grandpa. But every kid needs to have two grandpas. But this one is going to have three. When he is older he will know he had another grandpa. Who was a hero to everyone. And he died so he could have a better life. And that he was named after that grandpa.
Finn put Christopher into his mom's arms.
Finn- Mom I would like you to meet your grandson Christopher Kurt Fabray Hudson. As Carol held her grandson the tears came to her eyes. Burt put his hands on her shoulders.
Carol- Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. Wow I can't believe you are real. It's going to take some time to get use to this. But I love you already and what's not to love. You are an easy one to love. If you didn't know who I already am. I am your grandma and the guy behind me is your grandpa. And we are going to spoil you rotten. You are a miracle we weren't expecting. But now that I've laid eyes on you. I can't imagine a life without you. I look at you and I see a mixture between your daddy and your Grandpa. Oh Christopher he would be so thrilled about you. Don't you worry when you are older. I will tell you all about your Grandpa Christopher. He was such a good man and he would have loved you just the as the rest of us. He loved your daddy more than anything. I remember the first time he held your daddy. I saw a look of panic and fear in his eyes. Which was a first and for a strong guy he was. But then I saw love in his eyes. He promised him that he would always protect him. And he did. He died in a war trying to make a better world for him. But he would have loved you just as well. He was a good day. He would always light up every time he saw your daddy. Carol picked up a package and brought it over to Quinn. Who had her arms wrapped around Finn.
Carol- I bought this for him the day I found out about him.
Quinn- Mrs. Hummel you didn't have to do that.
Carol- Quinn call me Carol. After all we are all family now.
Finn- That we are mom that we are. Finn leaned over to kiss the side of Quinn's head. Quinn smiled and opened up the package. Quinn smiled again at what she saw. It was a army fatigue onsie with matching socks.
Quinn- Oh that is too cute.
Carol- Yeah when I first saw it I has to get it.
Carol walked back over to her husband. Burt froze in his spot.
Carol- You want to hold your grandson? She asked smiling at him.
Burt- I would love too. Carol gently put Christopher in his arms.
Burt- Wow can't believe they are this small at one time. Forgive me Christopher this is all new to me. But I kind of like the name grandpa. Didn't think I would be one this young but that it ok. We are going to have so much fun. I can teach you all about fixing up cars.
Finn- That would be great considering his dad doesn't know that stuff.
Quinn I have to apologize to you all.
Carol- For what honey.
Quinn- For keeping him from you all. You all should hate me. Quinn feeling guilty again for keep Christopher away from his family.
Carol walked over to Quinn and pulled her into her arms.
Carol- We don't hate you Quinn. A little disappointed maybe that you never said anything. But you were doing what was best for your child. No one can fault you for that. We are just happy to be apart of his life now.
Quinn- I never should have kept him from you. I can clearly see how much you all love him. And nobody can have too much love in their life. Which is why I have decided I am moving back home. Not only are my parents and family here. But you are as well. Not to mention this is where my heart lays with Christopher's daddy.
Finn- Diddo babe
They all eventually sat down again. Quinn seated next to Kurt and Finn on the couch. While Finn was feeding Christopher a bottle.
Quinn- Now there is another matter I have decided on regarding Christopher.
Judy- What is that baby?
Quinn- That it is time this little guy to be baptized.
Carol- You haven't done that yet.
Quinn- No it's just been so crazy since he's been born. I just haven't had the time. But it was on my next to do list. Now that Christopher's family is complete. I want everyone that loves him to share in his day with him.
Carol- We would love that. When were you planning.
Quinn- I was thinking about next weekend. What do you think Finn. Finn looked up from his son to look at her.
Finn-Sounds like a plan to me.
Quinn- Then I will call the church and make the arrangements.
Judy- Who were you thinking of naming godparents.
Quinn- Mercedes and Kurt of course. No one else I trust more to look after him. If something should ever happen to me.
Finn- Nothing is going to happen to you. Not while I am still breathing that is. Quinn put a hand to his cheek. Overwhelmed by the passion behind his words.
Quinn- I am not saying that anything will. But just to be on the safe side.
Finn- Even so you are going to live to a ripe old age. The rest of the day was filled with nothing but laughs. And for the first time in his short life Christopher was surrounded by his entire family.
