Greetings readers. Here today we continue with darkness in the world of Lima Ohio. As y'all know by now I don't do long intros, so let's dive right in. Enjoy!
Finn couldn't remember the last 15 minutes of his life. The last thing the remembered, he was defying the laws of physics getting to the hospital, right now he was outside talking to his stepbrother and brother-in-law in a waiting room. One could see that he was nervous just by looking at his wardrobe. His usual red tie was loose, his dress shirt had its sleeves sloppily rolled up, his glasses were misted and his face was sweating.
'' Her-her water broke?'' Finn stuttered.
'' Yeah, about an hour ago, doctors sent her to a ward. They sent us out before anything happened'' Blaine explained.
Finn clutched his head. '' This is bad, really bad. My wife's water breaks and I'm not there and I quit my job-
'' Wait? You quit? Why?'' Kurt asked.
'' Because I hate it there, the money's good but its not worth it. Also, my principal stuck her tongue down my throat.''
'' Finn its ok, remember that Rachel loves you for richer or for poorer. Also, she's been out-earning you since 2021'' Kurt grinned.
'' Not cool little brother. But I get your point. Blaine, what do you think of me quitting?''
'' Look, to be honest its not the move I'd make. Rather I'd have stuck it out until my kids were born. Although, its not my call Finn, you chose to leave and there's no shame in that'' Blaine responded, putting his hand on Finn's shoulder.
Just then Doctor Raj came out, his face was blank, no emotion present whatsoever.
'' What's wrong with my wife? How can I help? Does she need any body parts? If so I'll go all around this damn town , find every single person I see and scrap them for parts!''
'' Easy Finn. Rachel is doing fine however I must tell you something.''
Oh Fuck, I knew this would happen, the kids aren't alive anymore, well here we go again. '' How are my children?'' Finn asked.
'' They're…ok. However Rachel appears to be slightly early.''
'' What? But she was supposed to be due today, its October, isn't it?'' Kurt asked.
'' In order: No and Yes. According to her chart, Rachel was supposed to be due on October 6th however today is October the 1st.''
'' So, what's going to happen?'' Finn asked, the panic in his voice not even slightly subtle.
'' Your children have to be delivered today. Your wife is right through that door and in a separate ward.''
'' But isn't that dangerous?'' Kurt asked.
'' Yes, however I've scheduled an emergency c-section however as I'm not a surgeon, I've organized an old friend of mine from med school, he says he knows you. Before he comes in would you like to see your wife?''
Finn didn't let the man finish before he burst into Rachel's ward. He was expecting her to be either terrified or asleep, however she seemed to just be reading a book.
'' Hey Finn-oh ok.''
Finn had embraced Rachel in a bone crushing hug. '' Thank Gd you're ok'' he began to tear up.
'' I'm fine, although after listening to Dr. Raj I am a bit scared.''
'' You'll be fine, if you can play Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors with a head full of mucus you can easily do this'' Kurt said, entering.
'' He's right, you're a badass Rachel, don't ever forget that'' Blaine smiled.
'' Thanks, you guys'' Rachel beamed.
'' Sorry to interrupt you four, I'm afraid its time'' Dr. Raj said walking in.
'' S-seriously, we have to go into surgery?'' Rachel asked.
'' Surgery, what surgery?'' Finn asked.
'' I have to have a c-section. I told Dr. Raj not to tell you because I thought you'd be worried'' Rachel explained.
'' Look I'm not a kid, I can handle this, you need to trust me more'' Finn complained.
'' I do, but in case you haven't noticed I'm about to get cut into and have two children removed from me.''
'' Whatever, lets wheel you in'' Finn scoffed, lifting Rachel up and putting her in a chair.
'' You know she can walk right?'' Kurt asked.
'' Hospital formality, c'mon'' Finn said.

A few hours after Rachel went in, Finn found himself outside a place he hadn't been since the christening of his Godchildren… a chapel. He wasn't a very religious person, not after the grilled Cheesus incident sophomore year. However, he needed some kind of reassurance that things would be ok, and he saw no better way than prayer. He was outside of the hospital chapel, not sure what to do?
'' First time?'' came a black female voice.
'' Huh?'' Finn turned around to see a nurse. '' Oh, yeah.''
The nurse smirked. '' Come on in'' the nurse led him inside. '' So what's your stance whiteboy? You an atheist?''
'' N-no, I'm really not anything, my wife's a reform jew though.''
'' She who you prayin' for?''
'' Yes ma'am.''
The nurse giggled. '' Call me Adele. Follow my lead'' Adele sat down, put her hands together and shut her eyes.
Finn shrugged and did the same. He had never prayed like this before, he prayed that Rachel and his children would be fine, a tear began to form in his right eye.
'' Is he?''
'' I think he is'' Blaine whispered to Kurt. The pair had been strolling by after grabbing two onion bagels at the hospital café when they saw the back of their friend. Intrigued they leant on the doorway and watched.
'' I've never seen him pray to something that wasn't superheated cheese on bread'' Kurt whispered.
'' Grilled Cheesus?''
'' The same.''
'' What do you think he's praying for?''
'' A sports car?''
'' Be serious Blaine.''
'' Ok ok. I think he's praying for Rachel.''
'' Aww, why don't you pray for me?'' Kurt teased playfully.
'' Tell ya what, when you have two children inside you, I'll do it.''
'' You know I can hear you right?'' Finn smirked getting up.
'' Oh, Finn, hi'' Kurt said sheepishly.
'' We know why you were in there'' Blaine answered.
'' Y-you do?'' Finn asked.
'' Yes, look she'll be fine, you have nothing to worry about'' Kurt added.
Finn hugged his younger step-brother. '' I'm so scared. Those last two times, I can't imagine what would happen a third time.''
'' Shush. Worst comes to worst you'll adopt. But don't think negatively. You know in your heart that Rachel can do this. Now come, I'm taking you to a bar'' Kurt grabbed Finn's hand and practically dragged him out the hospital wing. Blaine just followed suit.

By the time Finn and co. returned to the hospital they were met by Docotor Raj himself.
'' Gentlemen I'm afraid I have some bad news.''
'' What is it, I can take it'' Finn said quickly.
'' Your children have been born. Your son is 7 lbs, a little small but he's perfectly healthy. Your daughter however…she's 5 lbs and her lungs are a bit underdeveloped.''
'' What about Rachel? How is the woman I love?!''
'' Easy Finn, she had a bad reaction to the drugs we put her on, she's sedated now but-
Finn usually never got aggressive bu the change in his voice was slightly terrifying. '' Where. Is. She?''
'' Same ward as last t-
Dr. Raj didn't get a chance to speak before Finn took off, running like he was in Naruto.
'' Shouldn't you two go after him?''
'' Nope, nothing works on him when he's on a mission'' Kurt deadpanned.
Finn dashed into the ward and saw Rachel unconscious in bed. We walked over to her bedside, sat on an uncomfortable wooden chair and began to sob.
'' Wake up, Rachel please wake up'' Finn said.
No response.
'' I need to tell you something, I quit my job. Joyce made a pass at me and I quit. I know I should've cleared it with you first, I'm so sorry. Baby, please wake up, the kids need you, I need you.''
Rachel still didn't respond and Finn assumed the worst.
There was only one thing he could do. Finn began to sing.
'' Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. She took the midnight train goin' anywhere.''
Rachel began to stir as Finn continued.
'' Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit, he took the midnight train going anywhere.''
Rachel moved and sat up slowly.
'' A singer in a smokey room, smell of wine and cheap perfume.''
'' For a smile they can share the night it goes on and on and on.''
'' Thank God you're ok. I thought I'd lost you'' Finn said hugging her.
'' Please, I stood up to Carmen Tibideaux. Western medicine can't take me down.''
Finn laughed, the tears still visible and his eyes bloodshot.
'' Yes I knew she'd be ok, see Finn, your prayer worked'' Kurt said, walking in.
'' Wait, you prayed for me? Was it to a grilled cheese sandwich again?''
'' Nope, in the hospital chapel'' Blaine smirked. '' We kinda spied on him, although in our defense, he was going crazy.''
'' How crazy is crazy?''
'' Suzie Pepper meets crazy Carl next to the public library'' Kurt added.
'' Ooh, that's bad.''
'' I don't care if I had prayed to a sandwich, cheeseburger or even a rotting skull, I'm just glad you're ok.''
'' Me too. Hi Adele'' Rachel waved to the nurse, who had two bundles in her arms. Both in a pale grey. The reason Rachel knew her name was because Adele had her nametag on.
'' What happened to pink and blue?'' Finn asked.
'' Ask mayor Sylvester. Apparently ,we ain't allowed to use those colors anymore'' Adele answered.
The nurse handed the two children to Rachel and Finn and left the room.
'' Hey, it's the Rangers game now, let's get going'' Blaine said to Kurt.
'' But, kids'' Kurt whined.
'' But major league baseball.''
'' Blaine….''
'' Alright, how is it that I can never say no to ya?''
'' Because I'm the pretty one'' Kurt winked, kissing his husband.
Finn and Rachel hadn't noticed, they were too enthralled with their children. Rachel held their son and Finn their daughter.
'' We haven't decided on names yet'' Rachel pointed out.
'' Oh yeah, so what're you calling them?'' Kurt asked. Blaine had turned the room's tv onto the game but on mute so as not to disturb anyone.
'' Kurt, his full name is Kurt Hummel Hudson'' Rachel said.
'' Wait, you-you're giving him my name?'' Kurt asked, flattered.
'' Yep, you helped us a ton, we owe you as much'' Finn nodded.
'' And her, what do you dub her?'' Blaine asked.
'' Kate, Kate Emma Hudson'' Finn smiled.
'' Wait, her name is Kate Hudson?'' Blaine asked.
'' No relation. I like the name Kate, Emma to honor Ms. Pillsbury who helped me and Rachel with counseling.''
'' Also, we want to ask you two something?'' Rachel said.
'' You guys are the best friends we could've asked for, and Kurt, little bro, I couldn't ask for a better brother'' Finn smiled.
'' So it would mean the world to us if you and Blaine would be the twins' godfathers.''
'' Oh, my Gd, wow. We-we'd be honored'' Blaine stuttered.
'' Totally, may we?'' Kurt asked reaching out his and Blaine's arms.
'' Of course.'' Rachel smiled as the two were handed over.
'' Hope we're not too late'' Will said as he and Emma popped their heads 'round the door. Behind him were all of Finn and Rachel's friends and family. Puck and Quinn, Artie and Kitty, Britt and Sam, Ryder and Marley, Mercedes and Azimio, David and Sebastian ( same one ) and Tina and Mike.
'' There's no way we were missing the birth of glee babies'' Mike smirked.
'' Also the Rangers lost their match to the Mariners and I can't have another verbal warning from our neighbors about temper management '' Puck scoffed.
'' Ignoring my husband, we're all super happy for you. We're New Directions, we'll always stick together.''
'' Especially when new ones are born or on the way'' Tina smiled.
'' Wait Tina are you pregnant?'' Will asked.
'' Two weeks, and this one's going to be pushed into the arts'' Mike chuckled.
Finn and Rachel laughed a but. They had found their happily ever after.
