Hey guys, thank you all for your lovely support whether it's reviewing, favouriting, alerting or just reading, it all means the world to me!

So when I was supposed to be practicing piano and doing my homework, this came out. I was too excited so I had to write this! :)

Also: A side note to any of you lovely readers who are Harry Potter fans; I'd highly recommend reading 'Trying to Fit In' by 'MissHermonieEverdeenCullen' who happens to be one of my best friends and I happen to be her beta-reader for the story so if you guys want any good Harry Potter OC stories to read, I'd highly recommend that :D

But here it is guys, the penultimate chapter of Vocal Exchange *I'm so excited*

Family

Finn slammed the phone down into the receiver, he knew that the twins were inseparable and he wanted to see Mia with all of his might but running away from home. You could never say that the Berry's weren't dramatic.

Grumbling to himself, he sprinted upstairs to his daughter's bedroom, to find unsurprisingly the sound of a Barbra Streisand song being belted by his daughter. But then a thought occurred into his head, if we shouted at Alex, it would make communicating with her about Mia's whereabouts a lot harder. Although coming dangerously close to knocking on his teenager's door, he backed away and instead made his way to his own bedroom where he retrieved his phone from where he found the number that he needed to dial.

Picking up after a couple of rings, the voice was unmistakable.

"Dad, before you shout at me – I have an explanation!" The voice trembled.

"Amelia Hudson – I don't want an explanation, I want you to tell me where you are, right this second!" He firmly said, grabbing his jacket from his closet unknowing that Mia was getting pretty scared of him, he had never really told her off before, and as a six foot man; he was pretty intimidating.

"I'm on a train; I get to Lima In like twenty minutes." She whispered, not wanting to get into any further trouble.

"So, here's what you are going to do; you are going to text Alex and say that your train was delayed and you're not getting to Lima for about fifty minutes; because I'm assuming that you are in cahoots with your sister, and then after you do that, you are going to get off that train and you and I are going to have an honest conversation, okay?"

There was a dead silence on the other end of the line.

"Mia."

"Okay, yes. I'll do it. I'm so sorry Dad." She whispered trying to hold back tears from disappointing her father.

"Okay, I'll see you soon …I love you."

"I love you too Dad."

He hung up. Shoving his phone into his coat pocket; he knocked on Alex's door to let her know that he was 'picking something up from the store' and he could basically hear her thoughts when he told her that he would be gone, and he could also practically hear her thoughts when her phone buzzed and she quickly glanced at it.

After making his way down the stairs and then eventually outside and into his car, he took a moment to gather his thoughts before taking his phone out once more, this time, there was no patience when he rung this number. He knew that she would pick up a millisecond after the first ring. And she did.

"Finn, oh my god – Have you found her?" A manic Rachel managed to splutter from the other end of the line.

"She's on a train; she get's to Lima in about fifteen minutes – I'm gonna talk to her and then I'll put her on a train back to New York." He managed to sigh, he didn't want to do that – in fact that was the last thing he wanted to do, send his daughter away.

"W-Wait? Why would you do that, if she's come to Lima, there must be some reason, it's better if she stays with you for a while, um…would that be okay?"

Finn swore that his heart beat could be heard from Mount Everest.

"Finn?"

"Um, no – that was actually what I wanted to do, what about you? Will you be okay or do you want to come down to Lima, you know for Alex and Mia, I just feel like it would be better if both of us would around…"

"Finn, I don't kn-"

"Rach, I insist."

She could never resist to anything he wanted when he called her that name, the name that nobody else called her, after a sheepish response of 'Yes' and an awkward response followed by Finn hanging up and then banging his head against the head-rest of his car. He took and breath and made his way to his destination. The Lima Train Station.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Amelia couldn't figure out whether she was so nervous that she could cry, or so nervous that she could puke. Maybe it was a mix of both.

Once she got off the train, she would be absolutely doomed. And she meant doomed, would her Dad send her back to New York just to be told off by her Mom? Would she get grounded and wouldn't be able to see her Dad or Alex until only god knew when?

I guess that's what you get for running away from home.

When she got off the train, she was met with her father waiting at the platform, his hands perched awkwardly in his pockets almost glaring at her; trying to take her own sweet time to get to him, and instead of being met with screams and shouts; she was enclosed in a hug. It wasn't an awkward hug, it was a more 'I'm glad you're safe' hug; if that could be displayed in a hug.

The next thing she knew, Finn had grabbed her mini pink suitcase – almost identical to her mother's and he was dragging it into the platform's mini and inevitably mediocre café. There they found an empty booth and sat, Finn at one side and Mia at the other.

After awkwardly ordering a black coffee for Finn and a hot chocolate for his daughter; the silence had to be broken.

"Spill." He simply stated, and to that tiny offer, Amelia told him everything, everything. Even every last detail about Nationals, about how ever Alex hated her for a little while, she explained about how much she hated New York, how the only she loved in the dear city was her Mother and Broadway, how much she missed both her father and her twin and how much she wished that every second she was in Lima.

After showing him horrifying texts from classmates that had bullied her; Finn gently grabbed her hand and squeezed, to show that everything was alright now, everything was going to be alright.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"I assure you Ms. Berry – this opportunity will not come again." The voice rung across the line

"No, Mr. Thomas – I understand that but my family always has to come first. I'll get back to you by the end of the week."

"But, Ms. Ber-"

She hung up, the plane was boarding. She couldn't possibly think about a job offer after all that her family had gone through so far, as she got into her seat on the aircraft, before turning off her phone; she received one last text from her ex-husband.

From Finn

Everything's going to be fine. Trust me.

Everything was going to be fine.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Once Alex had found out about how her Dad had outsmarted her; it didn't really surprise her. He was always smart, but he never showed it, but he realised that something that was really wrong; he realised that the Hudson's couldn't be apart for long.

They were now at home; lounging in the living room chatting like a regular family about regular family issues; if you could regard their family as regular.

"Dad?" Mia piped up as Finn turned his head to look at his daughter. Mia promptly looked at her twin; not knowing how to phrase her next question.

"Are you and Mom gonna get back together?" Mia started and before he could answer Alex was into her casual rambling self, "Because, you guys got so close to coming back together, but you guys are soul mates – can't you guys, like – fall back in love?"

"Girls, I don't think your Mom thinks of me like that anymore…" He could barely finish his sentence before Mia was able to start another argument.

"Of course she does! Are you guys blind? God, it's like Luke and Alex just with more wrinkles and passionate feelings!" She whined, flopping on the sofa.

"Thanks Mia." Alex deadpanned giving her best 'bitch, please' face

After a minute of pondering, he realised – he had been so blind. He had tobe reunited with his soul mate – as Alex would put it.

"Get your coats."

OoOoOoOoOo

Rachel had just realised something.

She actually hated airports.

She hated that it took forever to get a decent cup of coffee.

She hated that the luggage carousel never seemed to be in her favour.

She hated that she was alone and she could see all of the couples around her cuddling and kissing.

However, when she was impatiently waiting for her suitcase to come in the carousel, vibrations came from her red coat pocket, signalling a call from her daughter; the one that at this moment in time surprisingly wasn't in trouble, hopefully.

"Alex?"

"Mom! Are you off you're plane? Oh my god, you're actually in Lima, have you left the airport yet-" Her rambling came bursting down the phone and Rachel felt as though she was getting whiplash just from listening to her daughter.

"Sweetie, calm down. I'm just waiting at the luggage carousel, okay? I'll be out in a minuite."

"Okay, good – cause we're waiting for you, we're gonna give you a lift back to Dad's!" The voice giggled as she could hear shuffling behind Alex and a muffled, "Shut up!"

"Honey, are you okay?" Rachel asked, as she saw her suitcase and went to retrieve it.

"Yeah, swell. See you later Mom, love you!"

"Okay, love you too Alex!" Rachel smiled, clearly amused by Alex's madness.

Rachel left to the arrivals gate, putting away her phone and keeping a keen eye on the horizon trying to look for at least one of her daughters; assuming that Mia was with her, how hard would it be to find two of the same person in a crowd of people, It was like a dumbed down version of Where's Waldo?

But no, she just looked round confused, a blur of couples being reunited and here she was, looking for her manic teenage daughters. Until she caught the sight of him; walking toward her just like he had walked out of her memories of him in the good years. His hands perched awkwardly in his jean pockets but then slowly removing them to gain more confidence, rather confused she looked around Finn to see if her daughters were there but all that she could really see was his amazing smile, his dazzling crooked smile that warmed her heart every time she saw it.

Trying to push her loving emotions away, she managed to splutter.

"Wait, w-where's Mia and Ale-"

However, she was cut off by Finn cupping her cheek, gently pulling her up to her tiptoes and then planting the most electrifying and beautiful kisses that they had both craved for years and years. tongue met tongue and they finally recreated the scents of each other that had been lost to each of them for way too long. Finn smelt like coffee and the slightest tint of grease while all that Finn could smell was Rachel's perfume that he once drove round Lima for five hours just to find it so he could have something, other than his daughter to remind him of his love. They soon came out of the passionate haze and rested against each other, into an embrace. Rachel's tears pitter-pattering against the material of his shirt

"I'm sorry, I can't believe I even left in the first place, I-I'm so stupid. I love you. I love you so much Rach. I'm sorry it took me a while to come home to you."

Rachel slowly came out of the embrace, trying to wipe away her tears, she managed to whisper.

"Better late than never."

She smiled a smile that matched his beam as they held each other. Everything was going to be okay.

They left the airport, hand in hand, laughing at the situation as Finn glided Rachel's suitcase out of the airport filled with couples reuniting, just like them apart from they weren't any other ordinary couple. They were soul mates.

Hand in hand, Rachel realised something.

She loved airports.

OoOoOoOoOo

The ride back was filled with Alex and Mia happily singing every love song on the planet, very loudly from which Rachel had to refrain from telling them to stop belting, like the true vocal coach she was. But she didn't mind; she had never been this happy, not since they were like this the first time.

It continued like that when they got home, again Finn and Rachel remained hand in hand, not wanting to let go of the moment that they wanted to let themselves dream of for so many years and now was finally here.

Sometime during the day, while Mia was helping Alex prepare for the school musical, Thoroughly Modern Mille - Finn pulled Rachel aside, still worried that this was all a dream.

"Rach, how are we going to do this?" He said, as he sat on the bed in his bedroom as Rachel stood up, the two still connected by the holding of hands.

"What do you mean?" She asked confusingly.

"Rach, you live in New York. I know you know now that Mia doesn't like New York, but honey – Broadway has always been your dream, I don't want you to resent us for holding you back, I don't want to hold you back from New York, Broadway, your dreams and not to even mention your job!" He insisted, upsetting himself at the notion of Rachel leaving.

"Actually, you're not."

Finn looked up from the floor, all of a sudden, the glint of hope coming back to his eyes.

"What?"

"My contract as a vocal coach ended last week, I didn't want to mention it and then I got offered Christine in the national tour of Phantom, I know it means leaving for a long while, but it's not New York and I can come back to Lima and then once I come off tour, I'll be here and we'll go from there. One step at a time but I didn't know what to do so I told him that I'd get back to him at the end of the week."

Finn's jaw literally dropped.

"That's amazing, I-I don't know what to say but I'm so proud, you're doing what you love and you're not gonna be gone all the time."

Rachel smiled a watery smile attempting not to cry about how happy she was.

"So, that's a yes to Phantom?"

"As long as it's a yes to my question?"

Rachel looked at him suspiciously.

"Rachel Barbra Berry, will you remarry me?"

Aaaaaannnd, that's where this part of the story ends!

FINCHEL'S BACK TOGETHER!
