Rachel remained standing beside her man, a hand resting on his shoulder as everyone at the table intently listened to Finn speaking. Her hand was shaking but she kept her expression even. Her mind was racing though, she noticed how Santana kept looking over to her every so often. She would just offer a small nod. She wasn't stupid. She wasn't going to say anything in the middle of this meeting. She knew her father was in fact everyone at this table's enemy.
"Who's going to take the lead on this one?" Finn asked as he looked over to Santana, the woman dressed in a tight crop top and jeans standing as she handed out pictures to everyone at the table. "This is Quinn Fabray.. She knows nothing about this organization here but she's willing to get in. She's a deputy with the department Hiram Berry works for. She's going to try and get him hooked first, if that fails we've got this man willing to seduce the older man.." Santana finished as she handed out another photo, this one of a man and Rachel could only peek over the pictures that she was handing out, but of course she wasn't offered one. She wanted to scream and run. She couldn't believe she was just standing there as they spoke about getting her father addicted to drugs and murdering him but she couldn't. All she could do was beg Finn behind closed doors.
"His name is Blaine Anderson and he's also an inside man. He informed me before I left the city that they have no leads on where Finn and Rachel could possibly be, they have a hunch for someone in Russia as far as Blaine knows" The Latina continued, Rachel tuning out after that. How the fuck could Santana be in charge of plotting her father's murder, she KNEW him. Rachel licked her lips as she gave Finn's shoulder a small squeeze just as Blaine and Quinn entered the space, noticing how her boyfriend eyed the blonde's legs. She wanted to smack him upside the head but only offered a smile and shook their hands when they came over to introduce themselves.
"You can take a seat." Finn motioned towards the two chairs the maid had pulled into the room. She listened as they went more into depth with this entire thing, fighting the urge to vomit yet again. She jumped a bit when Finn stood from his seat, slamming his fist against the cool table before he pulled his gun out, the gold of the barrel flashing as he waved it around and everyone was quiet.
"Babe.. This isn't where you want to do this," The girl tried to calm her boyfriend down, Finn just pulling his arm out of her reach. "For fucks sake, I want to go home. I want to go to my home and this man is still a fucking problem? Why?"
"Rachel gulped a bit as she walked around the table, just looking at everyone's faces before she pulled her own gun from her waistband, cocking it before she shot Ryder right in the head. "There, Are you happy? You ruined my beautiful white rug." The woman stated to her boyfriend, Santana seeming to be the only person shocked by Rachel's actions. She put her gun back into her waistband, looking at her boyfriend who was definitely still angry. "I'm going upstairs, this meeting better be over by the time I come back down." She stated coolly as she walked towards the staircase, heels clicking as she went, everyone's eyes on the woman then on Finn to see his reaction.
"Clean that shit up." Finn stated to Puck as the man sprung right into action, Madeleine giving him a look almost silently asking what the fuck was wrong with Rachel as Finn called the meeting to an end, letting everyone know they were having a family dinner that night as Puck and Sam dragged Ryder's lifeless body out of the house. He didn't like how she had spoken to him one bit and he knew they had their own things to discuss but he let her go. Madeleine got up to get him a drink as Santana, Brittany, Finn, Quinn and Blaine fell into a conversation.
Rachel heard the knock at the door, rolling her eyes as she sat on the edge of the bed in just her undergarments as she tried to get the small specks of blood out of her white outfit. "You don't have to knock, Finn." The woman called through the door, not turning her attention towards the door that opened as Carole walked in.
"I know that meeting had to be tough for you, Rachel." The older woman offered as she got closer and Rachel quickly reached for her robe, covering her body as she offered Carole a small smile.
"I made a choice to be with your son.. I understand I can't have my fathers and him. I know it doesn't work like that."
"That doesn't mean you aren't entitled to your feelings." Carole challenged as she picked up the articles of clothing Rachel had been working on. "Are you okay?"
Those three simple words opened up the waterworks Rachel had been holding back, her shoulders shuttering as she broke down. She wasn't okay, she couldn't let Finn kill her father, even if he had ruined their lives. "I don't know how to ask him to stop. I don't think he'll listen, Carole." The brunette fought out as Carole wrapped her up into a tight hug.
"I know you've only ever seen this Finn, but he's always been my baby boy. I remember Christopher used to take him every single Sunday night to this diner not far from our home and Finn always came home with the biggest smile plastered on that sweet face. He isn't all bad. I know my son chose a lifestyle I never ever wanted for him but I didn't stop him either. I didn't beg him. Just talk to him, listen to how he feels and if that fails, I'll talk to him okay?" Carole tried, looking at Rachel as she just gave a weak nod. She knew it was hopeless but Carole knew Finn the best and it didn't hurt to try. She wasn't sure if it was all the crying she was doing or the smell of Carole's perfume but she quickly ran towards the bathroom just as Finn entered the room, throwing up on the floor when she didn't make it.
"Thats the second time she's done that shit today.. Mom can you ask Camilla to come up and clean this please?" Finn asked of his mother as he peeked into the bathroom, stepping over the puddle of puke to lift the girl up from the floor, Carole just casting a knowing look as she exited the room.
"Do you think you need to go see a doctor or something?" Finn asked as he sat on the closed toilet seat, Rachel in a ball in his lap as the man wiped her lips with a wash cloth.
"I'm okay." Rachel whispered, not daring to even look up at her lover as her hands clutched his shirt tight. They sat that way for a good ten minutes with Camilla came up with cleaning supplies and Finn carried the woman over to their bed, tucking her beneath the sheets carefully. Rachel knew what she had to do. She had to take that test but she was terrified of the results. She was terrified of Finn bringing up that phone he had found. She was so scared of talking about her daddy to the man that was currently babying her that when he asked why had she just killed Ryder she pretended to be asleep,
When Rachel finally did wake up she noticed the bed was empty and music blaring from the pool area. She rubbed her eyes as she sat up, lips pouting from noting it was already dark out. She pulled the sheets off of her body as she peeked out of the window to see everyone having drinks and watching Chloe who was twirling around in her new dress. She had to smile at that. She turned her attention to the dress laid on Finn's side of the bed. He had such good taste the woman thought as she ran her fingers along the short Versace dress before she went to shower to join Finn.
Once she was out of the shower she dared to take just one of the tests Santana had brought to her, hiding it beneath a cabinet in the bathroom. She took it but she was not ready to look at it just yet. Rachel made her way downstairs once she was put together, dress barely covering her ass as she walked out, eyes scanning the area for her boyfriend, walking over when she spotted him talking to that blonde Santana had brought in along with Puck.
"Hi sleepyhead." Finn greeted as he extended a hand out for her to take, his eyes looking her up and down before he pressed a kiss to her lips softly, Rachel's arms wrapping around his waist before she took the blunt he was smoking out of his hands, pulling on it a bit as she finally looked to Quinn and introduced herself. She probably should've killed Quinn earlier if she had known this woman would be staring at Finn like this.
"We were talking about schools, apparently Quinn went to the same middle school I was at." Finn told his girlfriend. He had never told her he never went to high school, always embarrassed about that fact.
"Well you must've seen how cute this guy was when he was little then huh, Quinn?" Rachel asked, taking another pull from the blunt before handing it back to Finn as she waited for Quinn to fall for the bait. When the other woman said nothing, Rachel just smiled and pulled Finn away from them. "Why didn't you wake me up?" She asked as they went to sit at the table, Rachel taking her seat right in Finn's lap, the man rubbing circles into her ass almost instantly.
"I thought you were sick.. I didn't know what to do. Plus you always look so cute when you're sleeping." The man defended as he asked Puck to bring Rachel a drink and the woman took it, taking the smallest sip as she watched the space, Santana was in a corner snorting cocaine. When did she start doing that? Carole was now holding Chloe, Madeleine and her in deep conversation. Rachel finally looked back up at Finn.
"Who is Chloe's father?" She asked in a little whisper as everyone started to gather around the table as dinner began to be served. Finn just shrugged his shoulder, he honestly still didn't know.
"Now answer my question?" He whispered back, looking into her eyes as she nodded her head a bit. "Why the fuck have you been calling your fathers? Do you want me to go to jail?" The man questioned, an eyebrow raised as he offered her the flip phone from his pocket. Rchel was positive she was as white as a ghost. She didn't even know what to say to the man who was casually sipping his drink, eyes still trained on her.
"F-Finn I-I" Finn just pressed a finger against her lips, holding his drink up to make a quick toast to family and trust, making sure to emphasize on trust before everyone started to eat expect for Rachel. "Finn, I'm sorry, I just needed them to know I was okay.. I know I broke what you told me to do to protect us but their my fathers, and I only ever spoke to my dad, never daddy. " She tried to defend herself but quieted when she realized Finn wasn't listening to her so she just focused on her phone, downing the rest of her drink before asking for another. She probably shouldn't have been drinking but if that test said positive at least she had this one last night of everything being normal. Finn fed her little bits in between when he noticed she wasn't eating.
"Stop making a big deal out of the little things, because I got big deals and I got little things." Finn whispered into her ear when his mother asked her why she wasn't eating. Rachel made a joke about Finn's food tasting better before she ate for appearences. They finished dinner and had desert before some went off to dance, others got into the pool and Finn of course was on his phone. She wanted so badly to go lay down for the night but knowing Quinn was still out here was fueling her to remain engaged and never too far away from her boyfriend. Finn was going to be up. Rachel saw him doing a line or two with Santana and Madeleine. She was caught off guard when Finn asked for everyone's attention, calling her over. Rachel walked over to him, sitting in the chair he had pulled out for her.
"Everyone knows my girlfriend, Rachel Barbra Berry, daughter of the man that has us hiding out in Mexico. She has shown me so much loyalty, faith and love in the last year. This girl has pull me from the darkest place I didn't even realize I was in. I'm always going to be grateful to her for that. i'm not one with words unless its calling out a hit, or barking orders so I'll keep this short and sweet. Rachel, will you do me the honor of spending the rest of my days by my side?" He asked, pulling a box out of his pocket before he knelt down in front of her. Rachel's eyes widened when she saw the massive five karat diamond shinning in the moon's light. Her hands came up to cover her mouth, Santana's squeal so obvious as Rachel managed a quiet yes as her entire being shook. Finn just always seemed to pull something out of left field. Finn slid the ring on her finger, everyone shouting and clapping as Rachel wrapped herself around her man, Finn kissing her so hard, yet warm and tender at the same time. The men shot their guns in the air as the couple kissed. What the fuck just happened? She was sure he hated her after finding that phone and here he was putting a ring on her finger. What the actual fuck just happened?
"Baby.. I-just wow." Rachel whispered to him as she started to cry and Finn picked her up off of her feet, peppering kisses all over her face and neck. "i love you."
"I love you more. No matter what you do." He replied as he finally placed her on her feet, Santana and Carole coming over to see the ring that Rachel proudly displayed, the guys pulling Finn away, though she could see out the corner of her eye how Madeleine was talking to the taller man.
"Berry you're fucking living the dream right now!" Santana stated as she hugged her tight, Carole welcoming her to the family and thanking her for loving her son. Rachel was on a fucking cloud right then. Finn had proven that they could do this and they would. He wanted to marry her. He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. The rest of the night went like a blur. Everyone left around four in the morning, Finn and Rachel having locked the engagement in with sex on their balcony and then again in bed. She had completely forgotten about the test she had taken before dinner. She snuck out of bed, making sure was sleeping like a rock before she dug the test out. She was just late and it was from stress. Finn wanted to marry her but Rachel knew the man didn't want kids, she always wanted a big family but she'd give that all in for him. His life had already turned around from her just being in it. She looked down at the test and her eyes instantly watered, trying her hardest to keep it together as those two very solid [pinks lines displayed.
