Chapter 21

Finns POV

At the end of the night after the reception was finally over Rachel and I left straight to the airport right after she changed out of her weeding dress. We snuggled close together as we road on the plane. Happily ever rocked so far.

We've been through hell and it's great to finally be happy. I know now more than ever that my life is complete.

"I still cant believe that we're married." Rachel says happily. I take her left hand and bring it up to my lips. I kiss her hand softly. I look at my own wedding band that now sits on my finger. I belong to someone forever. I'm hers and she's mine till death do us part.

"This is forever baby. For better or for worse." I say as I touch her face softly. "We've hit the sickness and worst part of it. Now its time for the health and for better."

"Yes we have. I'm glad you didn't walk out on me. I don't think I would have made it this far." Rachel says as she runs her fingers through my hair.

"I wanted to, but I know I would have never forgiven myself if I had." I say as I touched her face carefully. "I love you so much Rachel and I would never be able to live with myself if I ever lost you."

"I'm here now. Nothing will ever tear us apart." She assures me. "So where are we going exactly?" Rachel asked innocently.

"You Mrs. Hudson have to wait and see." I say with a smug look on my face.

I didn't tell Rachel where I was taking her for the honeymoon. I rented us a private condo on the furthest corner Honolulu. Somewhere isolated so we could make very loud love.

"Come on babe. Just tell me where your taking us?" Rachel asks as she starts to kiss my neck. I could hear her whispering my name over and over. Her voice became very seductive.

"Nope. No matter how much you do that, you wont get it out of me." I moan.

Rachel's mouth is on my neck. She's making it harder for me to stay concentrated. Rachel continues to kiss me in ways that turn me very quickly.

"Hay newlyweds, can you keep it down. Some of us are trying to sleep here." I hear a man chuckle.

Rachel pulls away from me immediately. Her face turns bright red.

"How did you know we're newlyweds?" Rachel asks, turning to the man behind us. The guy looks like he's in early 30's.

"I know newlyweds when I see them. Congrats." The man says with a big smile on his face.

"Thank you." I say as I turn my attention to my new wife. I pull her close to me. I rub her side up and down.

"So your really not going to tell me where we're going?" Rachel asks softly. Her big brown eyes are looking up at me. I take a deep breath, giving into her. She knows I cant resist her when she gives me those innocent eyes.

"We're going to Honolulu. I got us a private condo." I say in defeat. Damn it I hate myself for being such a push over with her.

"Private condo?" She questions happily.

"I promised you that you and I would lay on the beach. This is me keeping my promise."

"You actually remember that?" She asks in a surprised tone.

"Of course I remembered babe. I hold on to every memory you and I make." I say as I kiss the tip of her nose. My heart feels like its doing these flip flops.

"Finn Hudson you are the most romantic person on this planet." Rachel says in awe. Her throws her arms around me tightly.

"I know I am." I smile.

I hold her close to me.

A few hours later we finally arrived to Hawaii. We take a car up to the condo. Its isolated, and near the beach. I take Rachel's hand and walk her inside. She sets her bag down at the entrance. She looks around slowly. There are mosquito and fish nets through out the condo, there are roses laying all over the floor. I personally think it adds romance. The place is lit up with candles.

"Do you like it?" I ask as I put the suitcases down.

Rachel turn to me with tears in her eyes. "Its perfect Finn." Rachel whispers.

I walk closer to her and pull her in my arms. "We made it Rach, you made it. This is happily ever after." I say softly as I kiss her carefully.

"Happily ever after." Rachel repeats.

I feel her hands on my pants. I take off her dress slowly, and carefully.

I pick her up and take her to the master bedroom. I lay her down as I continue to show her my love. Every kiss, every touch, every movement and every moan is love. As I see her scars I kiss them over and over. These scares are a reminder to me what a gift Rachel is to me. A reminder of everything I am. Everything that made me the person I am now.

Hearing her say my name over and over is the most beautiful sound that I could ever hear.

Rachel's POV

I wake up hours later after so much love making. Its still dark outside. I see that Finn has his arms around me tightly. I smile because I know that no one will ever love me that way Finn has loved me. I untangle myself from him, and find a robe.

I make my way out to the beach. The air is cool enough from me not to need a sweater or a thicker robe. I walk along side the water. I admire the beauty the beach has.

I don't know much time I have left with Finn or those that I love, but I know the 22 years I've been given are more than I could ask for. I haven't told Finn that I've been feeling sick again. The only difference this time around is that I find myself craving food more often. Its weird, but I'll hold off telling Finn until after our honeymoon. I don't want to ruin our time here. If I am dying I want to die knowing that I did have someone to love me. I don't want to lose that just yet.

Against all odds I'm here married, happy and alive.

As I continue to look out to the water I feel arms around me.

"What are you doing out here?" Finn whispers as he rubs my arms.

"I was just thinking. I find myself doing that a lot since Rabbi Greenburg declared us man and wife." I reply as I hold his arms.

"Its a lot to take in." He says as he nuzzles his chin on my shoulder.

"No, more like I'm thinking how grateful I am for my life. Life is so precious and to be here with you. Its all I could ever want in this world." I smile. Finn tightens his grip on me.

"I love you so much." He says as he kisses my cheek.

"I love you too baby." I say as I close my eyes as his lips are on my cheek.

"Come on honey. Lets get back to bed." He says as she starts to lead me back inside.

"Hold on." I say before he pulls me back inside. I walk to the edge of the water and life my face to the sky "Thank you daddy. I love you."

I turn my attention husband who's arms are wide open for me. I run into them and we both make our way inside where we start making love over and over.

Finn's POV

Rachel and I have been in Hawaii for two weeks now. We've gone swimming with the dolphins, we snorkeled together and made A LOT of love. I mean how perfect can this honeymoon get when I have the hottest wife around.

We lie on the beach naked late at night when the moon is at its brightest. We lay there as we enjoy each other's company. I never get tired of making her smile. I told myself along time ago I wouldn't be happy myself unless Rachel was happy too. This is what forever feels like. Complete.

One week later:

"Finn can you tell me where your taking me?" Rachel asks impatiently. She's jumping up and down on the plane like a child.

"Baby you'll know soon enough." I grin. She looks out the window of her fathers jet, trying to figure what part of the map we're on.

"Honey this is like the second time you're not telling me what you have up your sleeve." Rachel pouts crossing her arms in defeat.

"Baby you know I like to be mysterious like that." I grin. I lean in and kissed her long.

"Should I bribe the flight attendant to tell me?" She says lifting her eye brows. I laugh because she wont get anything out of them.

"Nice try. I gave everyone 20 bucks to keep their mouths shut." I grin proudly.

"Don't make me do what I do best." She says in a seductive tone.

"Yeah no, not gunna work this time." I say standing my ground.

She gives me a pout and falls back into my arms.

Hiram allowed Rachel and I to borrow his jet for this trip because it was a long flight and he knows Rach is still recovering from her illness. He didn't want the long flight to be too much on her body.

After 10 hours, we finally land. I blindfold Rachel and lead her out of the plane. I keep the blindfold on until we London Bridge.

I pull off the blindfold from her face.

"Welcome back home my love. We're in London." I says almost in a whisper.

She walks in front me looking around. She turns around to face. She now has tears in her eyes.

"You are the most amazing man any woman could ask for." She says as she jumps in my arms. I hold on to for a few moments.

"I know I am." I say in a cocky tone. We make our way up to her old house.

"Where are we staying?" She asks as she looks out the window. Her eyes look around eagerly.

"Your old home. You dad told me he still comes out here from time to time." I explain to her. "He told me didn't want to get ride of it."

"That is so like daddy. He holds on to things with sentimental value." Rachel smiles sadly.

When we finally reach the house. I find myself at a loss for words for the beauty of this house. The house looks like something from Cinderella.

"How can your dad afford this place?" I question.

"He bought it when the market was well off. Then again all three of my parents paid for this place and whom were all very well off." Rachel explains with a big smile of her face.

She opens the gate and leads me inside. As we walk in Rachel looks at everything slowly. She touches everything as of its made of gold.

"Everything looks just the way it did before we left for Lima the summer daddy died." She says softly. I know her emotions are getting the best of her.

The chairs, tables, curtains, paintings and everything else looks so antique.

"My life was perfect when I lived here. I'm home." She says through her tears.

She touches an old painting just above the mantel.

"Your home baby." I says as I walk up to her taking her hand in mine.

She smiles at before she drags me upstairs. She leads me into her old room. She starts to kisses me everywhere. Before I know it clothes are flying everywhere I'm on top of her.

A few hours later we're on her queen sized bed wrapped in sheets.

"I have to say this honeymoon was more than I could ever ask for." Rachel says happily.

"Me to babe." I smile down at her. I kiss the top of her head softly.

"Come on lets go for a ride on the horse." Rachel says as she jumps out of bed.

"Uh babe, I don't know how to ride a horse." I say in a scared tone. I say lifting my body with my elbows.

"You can hold on to me." Rachel says happily as she puts on her clothes on. I grunt as I get out of bed.

"Fine, but I kinda was enjoying our time in bed." I say with a smug look. She looks at me with a seductive tone, but continues to put her clothes on.

"I know baby, but I really want to show you London before we have to leave."

"Honey we're here for two weeks. We have more than enough time to see the city." I argue.

"Please." She says with an innocent look on her face.

Damn it woman with a face. She gets me every time with the look.

"Fine." I say in defeat as I get out of bed and put on clothes.

She smiles happily and runs out of the room. I run behind her, catching her in my arms. and tickling her sides. She giggles as she tries to get away from me.

"Nope your all mine Mrs. Hudson." I say through the laughter.

"Forever." Rachel laughs happily. "Okay I give." she yells.

I remove her clothes quickly before I pull her back into bed with me.

I smiled as I had Rachel in my arms again and again. I know I could never get tired of loving her. Feeling her body connect with mine as we become one flesh.

We lie there hours later laughing and tickling each other.

"I love you so much." I whisper to Rachel as I remove a stray hair out of her face.

"I love you too." She says as she touches my face. "Come on, no more stalling with sex. I want you to ride a horse."

Rachel says as she gets out of bed and pulling on her clothes. I grunt and reluctantly get out of bed and pull my cloths on. She jumps up and down happily.

"Try not to be too existed." I moan and roll my eyes.

"I cant help it. I want you to see my world before Lima." She says happily as she pulls on a riding top and boots.

"You know I hate it when you give me "My life before you" line." I grunt.

"Finn we aren't going to pretend that I'm just an Ohio girl. You know this was me most of my life and it would be my life if my father hadn't died." She says, her tone sounding upset.

"Hay, I didn't mean to offend you. I just meant to say that sometimes I forget that you come from a life of the rich and famous. You've had opportunities that regular people like me only dream of." I say in defense.

"I know baby, and I'm sorry for snapping on you like that. I've been feeling a little under the weather and my mood is out of control." She says as she gets closer to me and wrapping her arms around me.

"Its okay. How under the weather have you been feeling?" I ask as I press my hand on her forehead. Her head feels normal.

"Just a little nausea that's all. I'm sure it will pass." She says trying to brush it off.

"Rachel I don't want you riding horses if you feel off. I don't want to risk your health."

"My white blood count was normal the day of the weeding. Dr. Klain says my body is readjusting to normal." She explains taking my hands in hers.

"Are you sure your okay?" I ask her looking into her eyes.

"I'm fine honey. Come one lets go for a ride." She says pulling my hand out the bedroom.

I hesitantly follow her out to the stables.

I worry about her, but I can only hope that she does just have a bug, and nothing more. I love her and I don't want to lose her. She's everything for me. All I could ever need in this life is her. Losing her would shake up my life and nothing would be left.
