Finn and Rachel were sitting in at a table with Burt and Carole. Keely was watching Darcy for the afternoon while they met with the lawyer.

The lawyer said, "Hello. I'm Trevor Aarons. What is it we are here for today?"

Rachel said, "I have a five month old daughter. Her father served me with papers to g et visitation rights."

"Okay."

"Her father is has showed up at my home and at our wedding drunk. I can't trust him to take care of her without some kind of supervision. He told me he would get help, but our wedding just showed that he didn't keep to his word. I don't want my daughter to be subject to harm when she is so young and unable to defend herself if it came down to it."

"Tell me about when he showed up at your home."

"I kept the door closed for the most part because I could tell that something was amiss. Then he started yelling at me. He pushed past me to get in my apartment. Luckily my best friend was there and took my daughter into the nursery before he could touch her. He started banging on the door and demanding to see her, but my friend locked himself in the room with her until Finn could get there. Finn threw him out of the apartment. We only saw him after that when he showed up uninvited to our wedding."

"Okay. You say your friend was there?"

"Yes. Then another friend came in with Finn."

"We are going to need them to testify on your behalf. We are going to need to have people to testify that living with you is best for your daughter."

"Okay."

"We are going to need someone from the wedding to testify to that meeting as well."

"That shouldn't be a problem."

"Good. Now your daughter is five months, correct?"

"Yes."

"Where was the father during the pregnancy? How did you know him?"

"We went to high school with him. He was one of my best friends. The night I conceived was a one night stand. We were at a party and my judgment was clouded. Things got out of hand and I ended up sleeping with him. Nine months later I welcomed the most important person into my life. When I first found out that I was pregnant I went to Sam and told him that I was pregnant. He didn't want anything to do with me or the child. I became very self-sufficient with a little help from my best friend. When I found out the gender I thought I would give him another chance and told him the gender. That was when he flat out told me he wanted nothing to do with me or our daughter. I didn't talk to him again after that because that was what he wanted. Now he has come back thinking that I can just forget everything that he has done or should I say hasn't done in the last year and a half."

"Rachel, we are going to take care of this. There is no one in their right mind that would send your little girl with such a man. I recommend that you serve him with child support. If he wants to be involved, you will let him be involved. The man should be helping you financially."

"That is what I was hoping to do."

Finn squeezed Rachel's hand and asked, "How long do you think this is going to take? The last thing we want to do is put Darcy through more than she should have to go through. She is so tiny and innocent."

Trevor told him, "It is probably going to take a few weeks if not months. We are going to get through this the quickest that we can. I'm going to do everything in my power to help the two of you. It is no secret that the two of you want only the best for the little girl. We are going to make sure that she only gets the best. At most he will get supervised visitation."

Rachel said, "Thank you so much."

"Okay. I think that is enough for today. I will get those papers drawn to serve him for child support. I will call you if I need anything else. I can see that the two of you are itching to get home."

Burt stood up and shook the man's hand. He said, "Thank you so much, Trevor. I really appreciate all you do for us."

"It is not a problem at all. Everything is going to be okay. We will get things taken care of for you. There is no need for you to worry. Just relax and don't think about all of this. That is my job to take care of. I will let you know all the specifics as soon as I talk to someone. I assume you and Mrs. Hummel will be staying in New York?"

Carole spoke up and said, "Yes. We will be staying until all of this is figured out and behind us. Rachel's fathers will be joining us for the preliminaries and those such things when the time comes."

"I have a feeling a lot of people will be joining us. I can just tell that the two of you are much loved and will have many people there to support you."

Rachel said, "Thank you so much. I really need to get home to my daughter."

"Completely understandable. Get back to her."

Finn, Rachel, Burt and Carole left to make their way back to the apartment. All four of the adults were ready to see the little girl that was always on their mind. They just knew that she was worth everything in the world.


Rachel walked in the apartment and went straight to Darcy who was crawling around on the floor. She was definitely one mobile baby since she found the joys of crawling. Rachel had made Finn go out and buy baby gates, cabinet locks and other things that were needed to baby proof their apartment. She wasn't going to risk having her injured in any way.

Rachel picked her up and kissed all over her cheeks. She said, "How is mommy's favorite girl? Were you good for Keely? Mommy missed you so much." Darcy started to giggle and cling to Rachel.

Finn walked over and said, "Hey! Let me at those chubby cheeks. I missed them, too." Finn kissed Darcy's cheek. There was just something about that little girl that melted his heart. He knew she would always be special to him.

Keely told them, "She was a little angel as always. Thank you for letting me watch her. I love all the time I can get with this little girl. She is so cute. She is just so happy all the time. I have never met a baby this happy."

Rachel asked, "So, her teeth did bother her? That has been our only issue for the last couple of days. The poor little thing was in so much pain the other night. It killed me."

"She was a little fussy, but that was it. I gave her a teething ring and she chomped on my finger for a little while, but other than that she was perfect. She is no trouble as always."

"Thank you for taking care of her."

"No need to thank me. What did the lawyer have to say?"

"He doesn't think we have anything to worry about. We put up a petition for child support. He said at most he will get supervised visitation with her. I just can't let him be alone with her."

"I don't blame you there. That was some messed up stuff that he did. Just know that I will be here for you and I'll testify to anything you need me to."

"I really appreciate all your support. It means so much to me."

"Of course. That is what friends are for."

They all sat down and played with Darcy. None of them wanted to think about what was possibly going to happen in the future. They didn't feel like they needed to worry about the outcome, but it was always a terrible feeling in the back of their minds that it was going to go in his favor. They just couldn't let that happen.
