Here is the 2nd Chapter. Everything in Season's 5 and 6 is canon apart from the fact that Rachel was a surrogate for Klaine who haven't had a surrogate child yet. So yes, Rachel and Jesse are married but you will discover later it isn't a happy marriage. This chapter is when Finn returns after escaping his place of hostage. Enjoy.

Chapter 2: 7 Years Later.

Rachel's POV.

Glee Club: "Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa. (End of the lyrics to I Lived by One Republic.)"

So that is it, the very last song of the New Directions in the state that it is known as. We have all had a great ride throughout this journey and now we are at the end of the road. It has been a real roller-coaster but now we can move onto to different parts of our lives.

I am now married to Jesse. A few years ago, he offered me a role in a Broadway production of Wicked and I won Best Actress on Broadway Musical. We had shortly gotten married after that after he offered me a way back out of Lima. The truth is after Finn's perceived death; I went off the rails for a few months and left NYADA. I needed to get away from it because it had all become too much and I needed an escape. So I came back here and coached the New Directions for a year but then I moved back to New York where my life has taken off ever since.

After we finished the song, we were chatting when we heard a knock on the door of the auditorium. Who could that be?

Sue: "I'll go and open it. (Walks up to the back of the stage.)"

She opens the door and looks horrified about who is standing there. We get a look at the man. He doesn't look very old but looks beaten and looks older than he probably should. His clothes are ripped and bloody. His face is cut and his hair looks like it hasn't been washed in years. He is extremely skinny and looks like he hasn't had a proper meal in a long time. He looks like death itself. Yet he looks oddly familiar.

Sue: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Finn's POV (Taken just prior to that moment.)

I've finally made it back after goodness knows how long. When you have been kidnapped in a dark and damp basement, you lose track of time quickly. It might be years since I was kidnapped but it might only have been days. Yet time just passed by when I was in that cell. It was enforced imprisonment. Jailed without a trial. Trapped as an innocent man.

My time in that basement was torture. I was beaten and bruised every day. I was attacked by the men and then the women would sexually assault me. I would be given very little to eat, not enough for a full meal. It was probably half a meal everyday and just enough for me to live. I kept asking why they were doing this to me but never got an answer. Instead I would continue to be tortured.

Eventually, I managed to escape via discovering a secret staircase out of the back into the garden. I got to the garden and then somehow managed to make a run for it. I kept going in a certain direction and then all of a sudden, I managed to find a sign to Ohio and then found my way to Lima. It didn't take me long to find the school and that's where I went.

I heard people singing in the auditorium so that is where I head. I knock on the door to see what is going on. I wait a minute and then I see of all people, Sue Sylvester who has a look of horror on a face. Okay, now I am worried.

Sue: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Finn: "I'm Finn Hudson. (Frightened.)"

Sue: "(Doesn't know what to do.) I'm sorry what? You can't be Finn Hudson. Unless you've grown out of the grave."

Finn: "What do you mean?"

At that moment, Mr Schue comes running up the stairs.

Mr Schue: "Sue, what is going on and how long is this going to take… (Sees Finn and recognises him immediately and puts his hand to his mouth.) Finn?"

Finn: "(Giving him that famous half-smile.) Hey Mr Schue."

Mr Schue: "What is going on here? You look terrible."

Finn: "It is a long story. But why did she make a comment about growing out of the grave?"

Mr Schue: "(With tears threating to spill.) Finn, it has been 7 years. The police thought that you were killed 7 years ago."

What? I was kidnapped and hidden for 7 years. I've lost 7 years of my life. They didn't even make an attempt to try and hunt me down and recuse me. I've missed out on so much. So I'm apparently 26 and I am in a worse position than I was when I was 19. I'm just a loser.

Mr Schue: "Finn? Are you okay?"

Am I okay? Do you think I'm okay after what you have just told me? I've lost my youth and my future. I'm going to be stuck. I feel weak. My body feels broken. I'm just a wreck and no-one is going to want to be around me.

I can tell Mr Schue senses that I am getting angry because he tries to talk to me into going to the hospital but first I want to go and find my Mom. I need to see her after all these years.

She was sitting chattering with some of the alumni when Mr Schue asked her that he wanted to talk to her. She came up the stairs to speak to me.

When I saw her, I just jumped into her arms. The look of shock on her face is clear to everyone but she just hugs me like I've just come home from war. Well I just might as well have considering the personal hell that I have experienced in that damm bunker.

Carole: "Finn. It's you. It's really you."

Finn: "Yes Mom, it's me."

Carole: "What happened? How are you alive? I got the call that you were dead."

Finn: "I was never dead but can we talk about it later please? I think I need to go to the hospital."

Mr Schue takes both me and Mom to the hospital in order to see what is wrong with me. I just feel like my body is going to shut down any second and that would be the end of me. Sue says that she will go and speak with the rest of the alumni about what just happened.

Rachel's POV.

Okay so eventually Sue decides to come back downstairs after meeting with the strange visitor. We were talking with each other and everyone was very worried because the visitor looked extremely familiar. Yet no-one could understand why.

Puck: "Who was that Vice President Sylvester?"

Sue: "Enough with the formalities Puckerman. That young man is no stranger to us. He was a former student here."

Jesse: "Someone trying to hold on desperately onto the past? Looked like it, the tramp."

Sue: "No. That was Finn Hudson."

What? He was never dead? Well they never found a body but the car that he was driving according to the police if that had been in an accident, he would never have survived it.

Kurt: "(Angry.) You are kidding right? I got the call saying he was dead and yet he never was."

Sue: "I know Mr Hummel-Anderson. It seems as if he was never dead in the first place."

I feel sick. I mean I know that she means well and this is a shock to her as well. But the fact is that he disappeared for 7 years and now when we are having a major reunion he shows up. Where has he been all this time?

I look around and see other people's reactions. Quinn is crying, Puck is looking like he's aging rapidly. Kurt has his hands in front of his face. Others are hugging each other then I look round at Jesse…

Jesse! Oh God. Oh God. Now what is Finn going to think when he realises that I am married to Jesse. I hope that he understands. After all, I thought he was dead but I really love Jesse. Do I? Why am I having these thoughts if I was 100% committed to our relationship? But I don't want to have Finn feel heartbroken. But why was he gone?

Rachel: "(Speaks up.) What happened to him?"

Sue: "Long story Barbra Wannabe. He's been taken to the hospital by good old Will Schuester."

Kurt: "I need to go and see him."

Puck: "I think we all do."

Quinn: "Besides what you have told us, we don't know what state he is in. We might not have a chance of speaking to him again."

I know Quinn. The thing is I don't know if he could survive what I had to say to him.

Reviews are always welcome. In the next chapter, Finn and his family learn the extent of his condition.
