Chapter 25-Age 46

"Hey buddy." Finn knocked lightly on the door of his 10 year old son.
"Come in, dad!" He called back.
Finn pushed the creaky door open slowly, "So how's school?"
"Uh, good."
"Cool, cool." Finn sat on the bed awkwardly.
Finn knew, as a father, it was his responsibility to talk to Chris about this...that didn't make it less awkward.
The other day, he and Rachel were lounging on the couch, when Rachel just had to bring up that Chris was 10, and that's the age she gave Sophie 'The talk.'
"Is there something you wanted to talk about?" Chris asked, knowing his dad all to well.
"Um, yes..." Finn nervously fiddled with the quilt on Chris' bed, "This is not a conversation I really want to have...but as a father it's my responsibility to do this..."
"What is it, dad?" Finn almost backed out of the room at the sight of Chris' round, innocent eyes-he was too young to have this talk.
"Maybe your to young..." Finn stood up quickly.
Chris caught his hand, "No, you've got me wondering now..."
"Well...you are at the age, where things are going to start changing...on your body..."
Chris quickly cut him off, "Oh no! Dad, dont worry, I watch TV."
"But I need to tell your mother I did this!" Finn objected.
"Well...there is something I wanted to talk about...it's a bit on the topic..." Chris blushed, looking down.
"What?"
"Well, there is this girl..." Chris started, never letting his eyes meet his fathers, he was to embarrassed.
"Say no more." Finn understood immediately, "You wanna know how to talk to the ladies..."
"Mmhmmm." He mumbled under his breath. "How did you...you know...seduce mum?"
Finn laughed, "Your mum and I had a bit more of a complicated relationship."
"What do you mean?"
"Lots of ups and downs, break up's, love triangles."
"Oh..."
"Anyway, my biggest tip is...I guess, If you REALLY like this girl...play it straight, be yourself."
"Really? Ryan said the chicks dig bad boys..."
Finn chuckled, "No, you'll comes off as a pig, especially when you get older, all girls will want to do is make out with you."
Chris blushed again, this conversation was getting awkward again, "That's a bad thing?"
"Yes, well, when your like fifteen or sixteen it will seem like thats all you wanna do, but as you get older, you'll want something more meaningful."
"Ok, I'll keep that in mind." Chris turned his face away from his dad and back to his book.
"Good." Finn smiled widely and patted his knee, "We don't need another Puck."
"But Puck's awesome!"
"Yeah, not in high school." He mumbled. "Anyway, get dressed, can you believe your sisters graduating in 2 hours."
Chris noticed the look on his fathers face, "Don't get emotional on me!"
"I love you, Chris."
"I love you too, dad. Thanks for helping me."
Graduation,
"Sophie Hudson!"
Sophie strode across the stage gracefully, excepting her diploma.
Finn and Rachel stood up, cheering and hollering.
Chris buried his head in his hands, he had friends here! "Sit down!"
Finn laughed and wrapped an arm around his son, "That'll be you up there someday ".
Chris looked around to see kids his age snickering, "If i survive."
"I can't believe it, Finny!" Rachel sobbed into Finn's shoulder, "Graduations are so emotional!"
"But they rock, remember our college one?" Finn reminded her.
"Of course i do!" Rachel smirked, pressing her lips to his...the kiss built up and built up, eventually, Chris had to pull them off each other.
"Please, no PDA." he begged.
As everyone marched across the stage, on by one, Finn felt himself tear up.
"Congratulations, class of 2040!" (Roughly, I tried to figure it out but I probs made a mistake, soz!)
Everyone cheered and threw their hats in the air.
As they walked to the car after the graduation, as always, Rachel felt eyes on her.
She spun around, seeing a flash in the bushes, it was Jesse, for sure.
She gripped Finn's hand tighter, and snuggled closer to him.
She felt something grip her shoulder.
Finn had obviously noticed It to, because when Rachel span around, Jesse was lying on the floor, blood dripping from his nose.
Finn quickly whipped out his cell and dialed 919. "Hello, can you please come to Mckinley High? Yes, my wife is being stalked and I have him right here."
"We'll send someone over".
"Thank you ." he mumbled, hanging up the phone.
"Baby, why is he doing this?" Rachel whimpered.
"Cause you're to desirable for your own good," Finn told her, forcing a smile and kissing her head.
"Mum, who is this guy?" Sophie asked, shocked at the man her father had just knocked out.
Rachel sighed and explained the whole thing to her children, Sophie understood better then Chris. She wrapped her mother in a tight embrace, "I'm so sorry, mummy."
Rachel began to tear up at the sound of her daughter calling her mummy. "I love you, sweetie."
She squeezed her tighter, "I love you too, mum."
The police arrived, calling an ambulance for Jesse.
They began asking questions, when Rachel and Finn told him it had started several years ago, the officer frowned in disapproval.
Jesse came to as he was being loaded into the ambulance, "I'm so sorry, Rachel. I missed you."
Rachel just nodded and clinged on to Finn.
"He'a gone, Rach. The officer said he wouldn't be going to prison, because he didnt really do anything, but he could be facing years in rehabilitation, they think he's gone insane...he agrees." Finn pressed a kiss to her temple as he loaded the kids in the car.
Rachel continued to shook with terror.
She would never forget this.

Hope you liked it! The end is near...seriously! The story is ending soon :(
One of the kids starts having bad experiences and school/college.
Rachel and Finn struggle to deal with it.
