May 20th, 2015

Finn couldn't believe it was really happening. In just a day he had packed up all things important to him and was ready to hit the road. He couldn't wait any longer to be in the big city with his girls. He was just glad that Puck was going with him and was going to share a place with him. It was going to be perfect, at least he hoped to.

Finn was getting ready to get in his car and go to Puck's. He was going to follow behind him to New York so they would both have their vehicles. Burt had bought a storage building and promised to send his things to him when things were settled and he had somewhere to live.

Finn's phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was Rachel. He said, "Hey babe. What is going on?"

Rachel sniffled and said, "I miss you so much. I should have stayed in Lima. I should be with you right now. Forget my job. Forget my dreams. I just want you."

"Whoa. What is going on?"

"It took daddy and I three hours to get her to sleep last night when she woke up. She misses you so much. She bawled when I dropped her off at the daycare this morning. It killed me. She has never done that before."

Finn felt terrible. "I am so sorry."

"It isn't your fault. It is all my fault for leaving."

"Rachel, stop. Baby, we are going to make this work. I promise you that. I love you and that isn't about to change. We are going to make this work no matter what. Rachie, get back to work. I'll talk to you later this afternoon, okay? None of this is your fault. Don't think that it is."

"Finny, I love you. I should have told you that yesterday when I was with you, but I was so scared. I don't know what to do with these feelings. It is the first time I have let myself feel anything since Arabella has been in my life. She needs to be my number one priority. I can't let my feelings get in the way of being her mother."

"Rach, you are a wonderful mother. That isn't going to change if we start a relationship. It would be good for her. She would have her mother and father there. I always wanted to have a life with you and any children that we may have. We are going to find a way to each other. I just know we will."

"Finn, there is no one else I would rather be with than you. Thank you for talking me through this. I hate to call you like this."

"I'm glad you did. I don't want you to keep this all to yourself. That isn't healthy for anyone. I will talk to you later this afternoon. Just remember that I love you so much. We are endgame. You are the one for me. It will always be you."

"Thanks, babe. I'll talk to you later." They said their final goodbyes and hung up.

Finn pulled up in front of Puck's place. Finn said, "Get in your truck. We are leaving for New York now!"

"What's wrong?"

"I just got off the phone with Rach. She is a mess. She is talking about throwing it all away and coming back here. She is blaming herself and wanting to give up all of her dreams just to be here with me. I know this is the right thing to do moving to New York. My girls need me and I need them."

"Calm down, daddy boy. Lets get on the road. We'll get there as soon as we can. They are okay. You are okay. There is nothing for you to worry about. You are going to be that sickening, perfect family soon."

"I just can't let her blame herself for the rest of her life. When it all comes down to it, it is Quinn's fault. If she wouldn't have threatened Rachel then I would have had her in my life all this time. I would have been the father I should have been to my little girl. I wouldn't just now be getting to know her."

"Hey. Hey! This isn't your fault. Lets get going. We'll have you in New York by eight. That way the two of you can put that pretty little girl to bed together."

"That sounds perfect." Finn and Puck fist bumped and got in their trucks and started making their way to New York. New dreams were coming for everyone that day. Finn just couldn't wait to have a family.

Rachel was sitting on the couch and couldn't stop the tears from coming. She didn't realize that after a week with Finn she would miss him that much. Arabella came in the room and looked at Rachel. She said, "Momma sad?"

Rachel sniffled and told her, "Yeah. Momma is a little sad. Can I have some kisses to make me feel better?"

Arabella went to Rachel as quickly as she could. She hopped on her lap and started giving her wet kisses all over her face. She tried to hug Rachel the best she could with her little pink cast on her arm.

Arabella asked, "All betta?"

Rachel chuckled. "Momma feels tons better now. Let's go make a bath. What do you think of that? Momma and Arie bath time!"

Arabella giggled. "Yay!"

Rachel found Leroy in the room that was still decorated for Rachel. Rachel asked, "Daddy, do you need anything? Arie and I are going to take a bath."

Leroy tried his best to smile at the pair. "I'm fine, sweetheart. Have a good bath. I'll make us a dessert."

"You don't need to do that."

"I want to. Thank you for allowing me to stay here with you. I'm just so glad to be with family."

"We couldn't have left you there. There is no way."

"I'm glad you didn't. I wouldn't want to be anywhere but with you and Arie."

Rachel said to Arie, "Sweetheart, go give pop pop some kisses. He needs some kisses and hugs to feel better, too." Arabella eagerly went to Leroy and gave him wet kisses and hugs the best that she could.

Leroy told her, "Thanks, sweetums. I feel much better now."

"Wuv you, pop pop."

"I love you too, cutie."

Rachel held out her hand and said, "Okay, princess. Let's go take a bath. I think the two of us could use it."

"Den call daddy!?'

Rachel tried not to let the tears come again. "Then we'll call daddy to tell him good night."

"Me mess daddy."

"I know, baby. Momma misses daddy, too."

The two of them then went to take a bath. Rachel hoped that that would make her feel better. She had to how she was feeling to the side so that she could be the mother that Arabella needed and deserved. If she couldn't have a father that was there all the time, she was going to have a mother that did all that she possibly could for her.

Finn and Puck literally got to Rachel's apartment building. He couldn't believe this was where the love of his life and their child lived. It wasn't the worst living arrangement, but it wasn't what he thought had pictured for them.

Puck asked, "Are you ready to surprise your girls?"

"Of course. I hate that I have ignored the last three calls that Rach has made, but I really wanted to surprise her."

"She is going to be so happy to see you that she won't care."

"Here it goes."

Rachel was irritated. Arabella wouldn't go to sleep without talking to Finn and he wasn't answering his phone. Finally she called him one last time. She angrily tapped her foot and said, "Finn Hudson."

Finn chuckled and said, "Hey baby."

"Don't hey baby me. Your daughter will not go to bed without talking to you."

"Before you hand the phone over to her I think you should go check your door."

"Why?"

"Please, just do it. For me."

Rachel sighed. "Fine."

Rachel walked over to the door. She said into the phone, "I'm opening the door now."

Finn stood there with a big smile on his face. Rachel gasped and dropped the phone as she threw her arms around his neck. She kissed Finn full on the mouth.

Puck said, "Okay you two. Let's move it inside. You don't need to be giving all of your neighbors a show."

Rachel asked, "What are the two of you doing here?"

Finn put down his bag and told her, "I couldn't be away from the most important people in my life. My truck has the things in it that I am really going to need. We are going to stay in a hotel tonight and then we are going to find an apartment tomorrow. I just know I need to be close to you."

Rachel asked, "What are you doing here, Noah?"

He told her, "Shelby and Beth are here. I wanted to see Beth and be close to her. Huddy and I are going to find a cheap apartment around tomorrow."

"I'm so glad the two of you are here. Arabella is in her room with daddy. We have been trying to get her to sleep, but she won't have it until she talks to her daddy. She definitely isn't going to go to sleep now."

Finn lowered her head. "Oh. I didn't think about that. I can leave. She doesn't have to know I was here. I can see her tomorrow."

"I don't think so. You want to see her and she wants to see you. Why don't you go in there. Just be careful of the air mattress on the floor."

"Air mattress?"

"Yeah. That is where I am sleeping. I let daddy have my room."

"Rach, you need to have a bed of your own."

"No. I'm fine. When Arie is out of the crib I'll get a big bed and we can share."

"You need to have a space of your own."

"When the two of you get your apartment I can send her your way if I need some me time."

Finn chuckled. "That is true. Do you know of any apartments for rent around here?"

Rachel told him, "There is one for rent down the hall. That would be perfect."

"We can look into that tomorrow. I'll go help you get our little one out for the night and then we'll go to get a hotel room."

"I know there isn't a lot of room here, but you can stay here. I'll sleep on the floor in daddy's room. You can sleep on the mattress in Arabella's room and Noah can have the couch. It isn't a big deal. I can make us all breakfast tomorrow before you go out to do the things you need to get done and I have to go to work."

"Rach, you can't do that. We will be fine in a hotel."

"I know you would be fine, but I really want the two of you close."

Finn looked at Puck. Puck said, "I don't have a problem with it if Huddy doesn't. But I want you to have the couch, Rach. I can sleep on the floor somewhere, but I really do think that it would be a good thing for Finn to sleep in Arabella's room."

"We can figure that out."

Then they heard, "Momma!"

Rachel chuckled and said, "Come here, daddy. She is going to be so happy."

Finn took Rachel's hand. Rachel walked in and said, "Princess, I have a surprise for you."

Arabella looked up from where she was standing in her crib and said, "Daddy! Here!"

Finn chuckled and walked over to her. He said, "Hey baby girl."

Arabella held out her arms. He kissed the top of her head said, "You, my dear, need to go to sleep. I'll be here in the morning. Sleep tight, Arie Bellie."

"Sing! Sing!"

Rachel walked over and started singing. Finn joined in. The two of them smiled when they looked down to see that Arabella was sound asleep. They quietly backed out of the room.

Rachel helped the them get settled and all of them went to sleep relatively early. Sometime in the night Rachel came in and cuddled up next to Finn on the mattress. There was just something about being close to Finn that she missed. She wanted to be as close as she could so that is what she did.
