Ch. 21 - Forever

Rachel was sitting beside Finn's hospital bed holding his hand while he was taking a nap, he was looking horrible, so sick, she was really afraid that she would lose him

As the days were passing by his hair started to fall and she asked him if he wanted to shave his hair all at once so it would be less painful, he agreed but as soon as his hair was off Rachel could see that something was bothering him.

"Honey, are you feeling alright?" Finn shook his head and started crying.

"I look terrible, you deserve so much better, you don't deserve to spend your pregnancy in a hospital beside me." Rachel held his hand tight and wiped his tears.

"Babe, listen to me, I love you! It's not matter of what I deserve or not, it's that I love you and I'm here for whatever it takes. I know we're not married yet but I promised you that I would be here on happy and sad moments, and unfortunately this came along while our little boy is on his way. So, I'm not leaving, no matter what you say or do." Finn nodded and pecked her hand.

"I love you too! So, did they find a donor yet?" Rachel just shook her head, she didn't tell him about the possibility of their little son, yeah, they found out it was a boy, to be the one donating to him. She wanted to make sure he was compatible first.

Rachel was 7 months pregnant, Finn was getting worst, she was so afraid that she never left his side. Finn tried to be optimistic but he knew his situation was hard, and they couldn't find a donor anywhere. He needed that marrow bone transplant like as soon as he could. Rachel walked inside his room after going home to shower and saw Finn there writing something, she sat beside him.

"So, what are you doing babe?" Finn smiled big.

"Well, in the group therapy here they make us sing, so I liked it and I wrote a song." he looked down as soon as Rachel picked up the paper from him. "It's not that good Rach, but it's for you!" Rachel smiled big as she read the lyrics, then she looked at him.

"Can you sing it for me?" Finn nodded and started singing "You're Mine" to her. Rachel started crying and as soon as he finished singing she pecked his lips lightly.

"You're the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. And you are good babe! When you get better you should start singing and writing." Finn laughed.

"You are too adorable, so how's our boy doing?"

"He's awesome, I brought some pictures of the exam for you to see." she handed them to Finn and he smiled big. He couldn't wait for his son to be born, he really hoped that he wouldn't die before it happened. He tried to show Rachel he was confident but inside down he didn't believe he would get better and that hurt, a lot. The thought of never seeing Rachel again and his son was painful. Than he had an idea, well, his doctor was single, good looking and around his age, maybe he could make Rachel fall for him so it wouldn't be that bad when he died, yeah, that was what he would do.

Doctor Efron walked inside the room and saw Finn there watching TV. They started to talk, everything was fine 'till Finn looked at him and asked.

"So, what do you think of Rachel?"

"Your girlfriend?" Finn nodded, then Zac kept going. "She loves you very much and she seems to be an awesome girl." Finn smiled.

"She's an awesome woman, but do you think she's pretty?" Zac laughed.

"Hudson, only a blind guy would think she's not pretty. But what's going on with all these questions?" Finn looked down and didn't say anything. "If you think she would look to another guy you are very wrong, she loves you so much, and she's carrying a baby of yours, so don't waste your time trying to push her away." Finn looked at his doctor.

"But she'll be all alone when I'm gone." Zac shook his head.

"Stop being so negative. You will get better and you can't do that to her, she'll be very mad if she realizes what you're doing." Finn just looked down and then Rachel entered the room, she smiled big at him and pecked his lips.

"Hey love! How are you today?" Finn smiled.

"I'm good, and you?" Rachel giggled.

"Very good babe." she then looked at Zac and said: "Can I talk to you doctor?" Zac nodded and they went away.

Rachel looked at him.

"So, I noticed that Finn is very sad nowadays, is there something that I should know? I don't want to be spared of something just because I'm pregnant." Zac chuckled.

"Well, nothing that I know of, but I think he doesn't believe he will get better." Rachel just said "oh" and then her eyes got teary. Zac held her and said: "I can't promise you anything but I promise I'm doing my best."

"I know you are." Rachel wiped her tears and went back inside Finn's room, he looked at her and asked:

"What happened?" Rachel just shook her head and pecked his lips.

"I love you!"

Two months later Rachel was in the first week of her 9th month of pregnancy, she was really tired and her belly was huge. Finn was taking a nap when she walked in and sat beside him. He was sleeping while saying:

"Rach, you need to be with him, I will die soon, he thinks you're awesome and pretty! Please?" he started to shake and Rachel got scared, so she went to him and shook him to wake him up but while trying to wake him up she kept wondering "what the hell did he mean? Who should she be with? And no way he would die soon." Finn woke up and jumped in bed. "Rach?" Rachel nodded and caressed his hair.

"It was just a bad dream babe, relax." Finn pushed her to him.

"Rach, I love you but I want you to promise me that if I die you will move on." Rachel's eyes got wide.

"You won't die Finn! Stop saying that!" Finn made the best puppy dog face you can ever imagine and said:

"Please babe, promise me?" Rachel just nodded.

"I promise, but you won't die, so that won't happen. AHHHHH!" Finn held her hand.

"What is it babe?" Rachel smiled big and rubbed her belly.

"I think it's time!"

Finn called a nurse and told her that Rachel was going to give birth, she told him to stay there but he told her that he wanted to see his baby born. Finn went to the delivery room with Rachel holding her hand the whole time. When a cry filled the room he noticed that he was crying too. They handed Rachel the baby and she held him tight, she couldn't believe that he was finally brought to this world and that now he could also save Finn. Finn pecked her lips and played with the kid's little hands.

"Finn Christopher Hudson II" Rachel said. Finn's eyes got teary and he nodded.

After a while Rachel was still in bed recovering from the birth when the nurse came and took little Finn away to do some tests, she winked at Rachel and at that moment she knew what she was talking about. Finn looked at her confused.

"What was that about?" Rachel smiled big.

"Nothing much babe, I guess they do that to every kid." Finn glared at her.

"Rachel, Rachel... I know you, you are up to something." She just giggled.

"Nah, now go rest!"

Later on Zac came with the results, it was positive, they were compatible. Rachel hugged Finn tight and then he realized what was going on, he looked furious.

"Are you mad Rachel? Our baby is so much more important than this. What if something happens to him?" Rachel looked down but Zac came to her defense.

"The risk is almost 0% Finn."

"But there's still a risk. NO WAY!" Finn yelled. Rachel held him tight but he pushed her away. "He's your son too, and you're willing to do that to him?" Rachel got mad.

"But nothing will happen Finn, besides you having a chance to survive!" Finn shook his head.

"I don't want to if the donor is him." Rachel got infuriated.

"And what? You'll die? NO! You can't be that stupid! That kid needs a father! Nothing bad will happen to him!" Zac looked at Rachel with a sad expression.

"If he doesn't want to I can't do anything." Rachel started to cry hard and walked away mad.

Zac looked at Finn and said:

"I'm being serious, there's almost no risk." Finn still shook his head. "I know you're scared but you gotta do that, it will work. Do you wanna leave Rachel here on her own?"

"No... but I don't want to use my child." he said. Zac sighed.

"You're not, if it was your father would you donate?" Finn nodded. "See? I bet little Finn would do the same. I promise he will be fine. Can we do that?"

"But she's being selfish!" Zac sighed again.

"If in that delivery room I told you that I could only save one of them, who would you choose?" Finn looked down and said in a low tone.

"Rachel."

"Exactly, don't be so hard on her. Try to understand her." Zac said. Finn nodded.

"You can do it, but please be extra careful with my son." Zac smiled and nodded.

"Of course I will be!"

Rachel was in the waiting room with her mom, the surgery had already started. She was so scared, what if something went wrong and she lost both her son and boyfriend? NO, that wouldn't happen! Shelby held her hand and told her to be calm, the doctor would be out soon and everything would be fine with the both Finns.

About an hour later Zac came smiling and told Rachel that the surgery was a success, that little Finn were now resting and that Finn was on the ICU but only because his immune system was weak. Rachel smiled and went to see her son, she looked at him and saw him sleeping, she ran her hand on his small head and smiled big, that boy was the cutest thing ever, well, he was just like his father.

Rachel and little Finn were home already, Finn was still in the hospital recovering, he was doing so well now.

Zac walked inside Finn's room with some papers on his hand, he smiled at his patient.

"I have something to tell you." Finn looked at him.

"Yes?"

"You are cancer free now. Still you have to be checked for the next 5 years to be sure it won't come back." Finn smiled the biggest he could and asked Zac to call Rachel.

After a few minutes Rachel walked in with Finny in her arms.

"So? Anything happened?" she was worried. Finn nodded.

"I'm cured!" Rachel's eyes got teary and she held Finny tighter on her chest, Finn told her to come to him, she did and he kissed her lips passionately.

"So, when can he go home?" Zac laughed.

"In a week!"

ONE WEEK LATER

Finn got to his house and his eyes got teary, he couldn't believe all that had ended, he looked to his son and picked him in his arms.

"Baby boy, I never said it but THANK YOU! If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here today." Rachel hugged them both.

"And if it wasn't for you he wouldn't be here today. See, God always knows what to do." Finn nodded and put Finny in his crib. He went to Rachel and held her tight in his arms.

"You are my guardian angel. I have no idea how you handled the pregnancy with me being sick." Rachel smiled.

"I knew little Finny would save you. That's what gave me strength." Finn kissed her passionately, Rachel kissed him back and then pulled him away telling him that he needed to rest. Finn shook his head and kissed her again!

"Can we make love babe?" he asked while taking her shirt off. Rachel stopped him.

"Babe, you need to rest! We have a whole life to do that." Finn sighed but he knew that Rachel wouldn't give in, so he cuddled with her, after so long, he finally just laid in his bed with his loved one and cuddled.

SIX MONTHS LATER

Rachel was playing with Finny when she saw a note on her bed, she still lived with her mom. She opened the note and it read:

"Hey baby girl! I think we deserve a time to ourselves don't you think? I asked your mom and she will watch Finny for us. So, now go to my driver (that by now is already waiting for you outside your house) and he'll know where to take you! I love you! - Finn"

Rachel changed clothes and ran outside her house and saw Finn's car there, she entered and the driver just smiled at her and started the car.

Rachel noticed that she was in some kind of private airport, she got out of the car and saw an helicopter. Finn was at the door, she ran to him and kept looking at him as if waiting for an answer, he looked into her beautiful mocca eyes and said:

"Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine, so won't you fly with me?" then he picked up her hand waiting for her to do something. Rachel smiled big and just nodded. Finn pulled her inside the helicopter and they started their flight.

"So, why did you bring me here?" Rachel asked puzzled. Finn smirked.

"For you to see the view?"

"And?" Finn laughed.

"So we could have lunch in a very special place."

"Okay" Rachel said still curious, she knew that Finn was up to something. When they got to the place Rachel couldn't believe that, they were in the place where they first went to vacation together, when she was 15. He came to her and hugged her backwards, his hands around her waist.

"So, I remember you told me that you wanted to come to this place again, and with someone special, you remember that?" Rachel just nodded and then said:

"I told you I wanted to... OMG!" Finn smiled big.

"Yes my darling." he kneeled in front of her. "So, I think I have no words to tell you how much I love you, I just hope you can feel my love cause it's really strong and it gets stronger everyday. That's the reason I'm here to ask if you want to be my wife. Rachel Barbra Berry, will you marry me?" Rachel pulled him up and kissed him deeply. "So that's a yes right?" Rachel smirked.

"More than a yes! It's an of course! I can't believe you remembered this. I was just 15." Finn pecked her lips.

"I know that will seem a little bit creepy but I wrote it down when you told me, I wrote like this 'Rachel wants her proposal to be there' and then when we started dating I already knew a lot about you my baby." Rachel laughed.

"Yeah, that was creepy. I was just 15!"

"And? I knew you would be mine someday." he said then pecked her lips again.

When they got back home Rachel told everyone the news, well, they kinda expected it 'cause it was obvious that they would get married soon. Finn was so happy that his smile was almost eating his whole face. He always knew that Rachel would be his someday, but he never thought that she would be there for him no matter what like she was.

Well, it was her and him forever, her and him right now!

The end.
