Chapter 26

Rachel woke up the next day in Finn's arms. She stayed the entire night with him at the hospital since she didn't have a home to go home too anymore. When she woke up she was surprised when she saw Finn looking down at her smiling one of his famous grins. She smiled up at him and said groggily "Hey Finn!"

"Morning Beautiful!" He said brushing off a few hairs from her face and putting them behind her ears.

"What are you doing up this early? Its like 7:30." She asked him sitting up and snuggling in his arms.

"Well today I start my physical therapy and I was nervous about it. So I just decided to get up and hold you for a while since that always calms me down." He stated. "So what are you going to do today while I'm in physical therapy?" He looked at her and noticed her frown at his words.

"I'm going home to pack my things! I already talked to my dad and he said that my daddy wont be home the entire day so I'm going over with Kurt to pack everything up." She said while letting a few tears fall from her eyes. Finn couldn't help but feel responsible for this whole situation.

"Rach, look this is all my fault! If I haven't asked you to marry me this whole situation never would have happened. Maybe I should talk to your dad and…" He was stopped by Rachel's ring finger over his mouth.

"Hey, don't talk like that! We both agreed on this and I couldn't be happier. I now get to graduate with my friends and as Mrs. Rachel Hudson. I wouldn't change one minute of it." She said as she hugged him and kissed his cheek. She was then caught off guard when she heard her phone go off. She got up off the bed and ran to the stand table and took out her phone and checked her message. She frowned when she read it.

"what is it?" Finn asked concerned when he saw the look on her face.

"Its Kurt. He's here! He's coming up now to see you and then were leaving to clean out everything that is Rachel Berry in the Rachel Berry household." Finn couldn't help but wish he could walk and hold her in his arms but thanks to Jesse that was not going to happen. All he did was give her one of those stares that let her know that everything was going to be okay. All of a sudden they heard a knock on the door.

When the door opened a vested figure walked through and said "Hey Guys!" He then looked over at Rachel and said "You ready to become the best sister I have ever had?"

Rachel smiled and nodded. She then walked over to Finn kissed his cheek and said "Good luck today! I know you'll do great!"

He did his half smile and said to her "Ditto! You can do this Rach, and remember the sooner you do this the quicker we can start a new life together. If you need anything call me!" She nodded and walked out the door.

Before Kurt left Finn said to him "watch her Kurt, please! She's really fragile right now and she's hiding her emotions." before Finn could continue Kurt cut him off.

"Don't worry about it Finn! I've got this under control." He said waving to his brother before leaving. Kurt walked into the hallway and made his way near Rachel. When he approached her he immediately linked arms with her and walked with her to the elevators. He immediately pressed the down button and asked Rachel, "So.. How are we doing today?"

She gave him a weak smile and responded "Yeah, I'm fine!"

Kurt shook his head, "Listen Rachel! I'm not Finn, you don't have to put up this act for me! I know your not okay by the way yours eyes are all watery and puffy. I think that your hurting but putting up a good face for everyone." He then went over to where she was and put a hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to hide anymore in front of me! So just let it all out." She then gave him one of the biggest hugs he ever received. He knew that if she didn't let go soon his air supply would surely be cut off.

After the elevator stopped in the lobby, they walked out arm and arm to his car and drove silently to the Berry household. When Kurt pulled up to the house he saw Rachel let out a silent tear. He turned to her and asked giving a comforting smile "Are you okay?"

She looked at him and shook her head no. "Of course I'm not okay Kurt! I'm about to say goodbye to the only home I've known, and now I have to go in there and pack up all the memories ill ever have from here." Kurt couldn't help but let out a little tear himself.

"Rachel, listen like I said at the hospital, everything will be okay! Finn and everybody from New Directions will be there for you too. We love you Diva! Okay maybe Quinn wont be there for you but that's just because she's a Bitch So." Rachel smiled at him and got out of the passenger seat. She walked toward her front door and inhaled a deep breath. She then took out her house key and unlocked the door.

When she walked inside she ran right to her room and started to pack. Kurt Immediately followed her inside and locked the door behind him. He then followed Rachel to her room. He wasn't actually surprised when he saw how much her room looked liked a rainbow threw up. Rachel then went to one of her drawers and took out all her tops. She then held up a red top with a star on it. "Kurt, this is the shirt my dad gave me for Christmas this year when Finn broke up with me. He said that even though I'm not Finn's star anymore I'd always be his." She then started to cry. Kurt Immediately put down what he was holding and ran to Rachel's side.

"Okay, Listen here Rach! Even though your not your dad's star anymore you'll always be Mine! I love you Rachel!" He then gave her one of the biggest hugs she ever received. When they were done with their hug, they continued packing. They finally finished after a few hours and headed down stairs.

They were finally done, and now Rachel knew that she was leaving her house for the last time. She knew that as long as she was engaged to Finn this wasn't her home anymore. It was just a house she'll pass on the street. She smiled at Kurt and got into his car to drive back to the hospital. The entire ride back Rachel was silent and still. If it weren't for her breathing Kurt would have thought she was dead. Kurt finally pulled into the hospital parking lot and waited for Rachel to step out of the car.

"Thanks for everything Kurt! I couldn't have done any of this without you. I'll see you later then?" She said talking to him through the open window.

"Yeah! I'll see you at home! I want to get there before you do, to unpack everything and to decorate your room. I would let you do it but I just don't trust your judgment on good taste." He said smiling and driving off. She waved as her friend drive off and entered the hospital. She took the elevator to Finn's floor and entered his room. He was in his bed and sleeping.

She put down her bag and got into his hospital bed with him. She snuggled up into his arms and put her head on his shoulder. Finn then woke up to see the beauty that lay next to him. "Hey beautiful, how did it go?"

She sat up and looked at him. "I'm not going to lie, it was hard! I hated every moment of it. I couldn't help but think that I was just packing for a sleepover or a vacation." She started to cry on his shoulder.

He didn't say anything at first. He just held her and waited for her breaths to become steady. When he finally did say something he said "Look, I know this is hard right now but everything will get easier I promise. Plus pretty soon your going to be Mrs. Finn Hudson." He smiled and kissed her head.

"She's going to be WHAT?" Said the figure in the doorway that nobody saw.
