Thank you for reading. This story is wrapping up. I have another two of three chapters to go. Then another story is in the works. Thank you for those of you who have reviewed. It keeps me wanting to write and it is helping me through getting over Cory's death. Thank you everything and reading my stories. I hope you enjoy!
Finn and Rachel were living out the perfect life. Finn was doing great on the police force. Everyone loved him. Rachel was graduating from college. It had only taken her three years and even she didn't know how that happened. Everyone was so proud of her.
Liam had turned four in November. He was thriving. He was the apple of his mother's eye and his dad's little tough guy. His family couldn't have loved him any more than they did, at least they didn't think it was possible.
Puck and Beth had moved into the house next door to Finn, Rachel and Liam. Puck was now engaged to a girl named Coraline. It was a surprise to everyone that Puck was settling down, except for Rachel. She always knew he needed to find the right girl and it would happen. Seven year old Beth loved her soon to be step mother. She was the kind of mom that every little girl wanted. She wasn't as awesome as her Aunt Rachel, but she ran a close second.
Rachel met up with her family by a tree in the back of the yard where she had graduated. She was all smiles as she found her husband and son. Liam jumped from Finn's arms and said, "Mommy!"
Rachel scooped the little boy up in her arms and said, "Hey little man!"
"You were good."
Rachel chuckled. "Thanks, baby. Come on, let's go talk to daddy and everybody else. Thank you for all the hugs."
"You want daddy kisses, right?"
Rachel laughed. "I do. Can I have some Liam kisses first?"
Liam leaned over and gave Rachel a big sloppy kiss on the cheek.
Finn came over and asked, "Can I get in on this love fest?"
Rachel smiled up at him and said, "Of course."
Finn gave Rachel a kiss and told her, "I'm so proud of you. You finished school in three years even with me and Liam at home bugging you."
"You will never bother me. I love my boys more than anything. Let's go see everybody else."
Finn, Rachel and Liam walked over to the rest of their family. Carole wrapped her arms around Rachel and said, "We are so proud of you! You have accomplished so much. Your mom would be so proud of you as well."
Puck walked over and said, "Carole is right. Mom would be on a high right now. Actually having a kid graduate college was her dream. I always knew you would be the one to make her dreams come true. You have an awesome kid and an okay husband."
Finn laughed sarcastically. "So funny, dude."
Rachel smiled. "I'm so glad I have all you. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without you."
Burt said, "You are a bright young lady, you would have still been able to do anything that you set your mind to."
Finn wrapped his arm around Rachel's waist as she held Liam. Rachel said, "Liam has something he wants to tell everyone."
Liam said, "Me do?"
Finn whispered in Liam's ear. Then Liam said, "I gonna be big brother!"
Carole gasped. She hugged the little family.
Puck said, "What is with the two of you and graduations? You got engaged at ours, told us about the squirt at Rachel's and now squirt 2.0 at her college graduation. Are you going to go back to school so you can have more kids?"
Finn laughed. "No. We'll figure something out. It just seems to be our timing."
Carole asked, "When is the baby due?"
Rachel told her, "I'm due the middle of October. I may not be the best maid of honor to have, Cora."
Coraline hugged Rachel and said, "No. You are still going to be my maid of honor. There is no one else I would rather have standing next to me than my sister in law and one of my best friends."
Rachel sniffled. "Thank you."
Puck said, "Would you two stop it? We need to go celebrate all the good things in life. Let's get out of this joint and go party. Well, as much as we can party with two kids and a pregnant chick."
Everyone laughed as they headed out for dinner. Rachel and Finn were so happy to be with their family and have their support in everything that they do.
Finn and Rachel were lying in bed. Finn was holding onto Rachel as if she was going to disappear. He had a hand on her stomach and said, "Hi baby. I'm your daddy. Your mommy, brother and I can't wait to meet you. You will be here before we know it. You are going to love your big brother. He is a pretty awesome little guy. He is going to teach you all kinds of things. Then your Uncle Noah will be teaching you all kinds of things that will probably end up getting you in trouble at some point. You are one loved little baby and you aren't even here yet. There are so many people that care about you, but no one will care about you more than your mommy and I do. I can't wait to hold you and talk to you out here."
Rachel smiled as she placed her hand on Finn's. She told him, "I am so glad that I am married to you. You have made my life worth it. I don't know what I would do without you. You are perfect and amazing. I have never felt so loved and cared for as I do when I'm with you. You gave me my little boy and we're going to have a new baby soon. I don't think life could get better than it is right now."
Finn kissed Rachel full on the lips and said, "We have forever for things to only get better than this. I'm so glad I have you in my life. I would never trade a moment of our life together for anything. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us and our babies."
Rachel curled up against Finn and fell asleep as he sang softly to her and their baby. He fell asleep shortly after with his hand firmly placed on her stomach.
