Rachel adjusted the hat on Abby's head before she stood back to take in her little girl's appearance. Abby looked adorable with her head of curly brunette hair and her bright eyes. She was all decked out in some miniature Mets gear in preparation for the Hudson family's excursion that night.

"Momma!" she exclaimed as she pointed to Rachel's matching jersey.

"That's right," Rachel said as she adjusted Abby's ponytail. "We match!"

The sound of little footsteps reach Rachel, and her five year old son came running into the room, wearing a baseball cap and a Mets jersey of his own. "Momma, look at me! Look at my jersey!"

"You look very handsome, little man!" Rachel said. She looked up as her husband walked into the room, and she smiled brightly. Finn looked incredibly attractive in his jersey, and he totally knew that she was checking him out.

"Finn, are you sure about this?" Rachel said. "I mean, they are a little young for a baseball game."

"They'll be fine," Finn said. Scott had already taken his baseball cap off, looking down at the logo on the front in amazement. This would be his first baseball game after all. Finn ruffled his hair and then replaced the hat back on his head. "Besides, we'll be leaving early so we can have them in bed on time."

Rachel lifted Abby up into her arms as Scott ran to go and get his baseball glove. Together, the family made their way to the game and up to their seats. They had pretty decent seats with a great view of the field. Scott could barely contain himself as he bounced in his seat.

"You excited, buddy?" Finn asked with a chuckle as he watched his son.

"Yup!" Scott exclaimed. "Daddy, I want to catch a ball. Can you catch me a ball?"

"We have to be careful," Rachel immediately fretted. "I don't want him to get hit on the head."

Finn took Rachel's hand and stroked his thumb over her knuckles to calm her. He smiled when she relaxed, and he lifted her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. "It'll be fine, Rach," he said. "And I played football in high school and college, remember? I think I can catch a ball if it comes this way."

"Daddy is awesome, Momma," Scott said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. As always, Finn was filled with pride when he heard how much his son looked up to him. It was a feeling that he would never get tired of, no matter what.

Rachel laughed. "Oh, of course. How could I ever doubt that?"

When the game started, Abby squeal and clapped her hands, pointing to Mr. Met when she saw him on the big screen. Finn lifted her into his lap, standing her up on her little legs so that she could see more clearly.

"Da!" she exclaimed, pointing out at the game.

"Only a year old, and baseball is already her favorite. This is awesome," Finn said as he held on to Abby's little hands to keep her balanced.

"She's definitely daddy's little girl," Rachel said. It never failed to warm her heart to see Finn interact with their kids. One moment, he would be outside playing catch with Scott, and the next he would be putting on little plays with stuffed animals for Abby's amusement. It was the sweetest thing.

Several innings passed and the Mets were ahead by two runs. Scott was well on his way to becoming the biggest Mets fan, and he was standing on his chair and dancing in between innings. It made Rachel laugh, since Scott was so much like his father. He had absolutely no rhythm at all, and Finn turned to give her a playful glare. He knew exactly what she was laughing out.

It seemed as though Scott's dancing had attracted the cameras, since Finn and Rachel spotted themselves on the big screen. Even at a year old, Abby loved the attention and let out a happy squeal when she saw herself on the big screen.

"Daddy, that's us!" Scott exclaimed as he pointed and waved. He kept dancing on his chair and waving, and Rachel took her phone out to make sure that she got a picture of Scott and Abby on the big screen.

When the game started up again, there was homerun that the Mets scored which caused everyone in the stadium to cheer loudly. Scott stared at the replay with wide eyes before he turned towards his parents. "I want to be a baseball player!" he declared.

"Baseball?" Rachel asked with a smile. "Really?"

"Baseball," Scott confirmed. "I would be the best baseball player ever!"

The comment caused Finn to laugh. "Well, we definitely know that he's your son," he teased to Rachel.

Rachel gasped and playfully pushed on his shoulder. With a grin, Finn caught her hand and pulled her close so that he could place a tender kiss on her lips. Rachel patted his cheek when they pulled apart.

"You're lucky I love you," Rachel said.

Finn was completely serious when he responded. "I know."

Rachel's heart filled with more love for Finn, if that were even possible. She gazed into his eyes before she pulled him close and kissed him again.

They were so caught up in one another that they didn't hear the crack of the bat. They only broke apart when they heard Scott exclaim, "Momma! Daddy! Look at the ball!"

Finn and Rachel looked up to find the ball sailing directly towards them. Rachel let out a little scream and threw her hands over her head, ducking into Finn's chest. Finn reached a hand up and caught the ball just in time, and the crowd burst into applause around them.

"Daddy!" Scott exclaimed as he threw himself at his father. "You caught the ball!"

Rachel kissed Finn's cheek and pulled Abby onto her lap, since Scott was trying to scramble onto Finn's. "My hero," she said.

"I do what I can." Finn held the ball out to his son. "Here you go, buddy. A baseball from the game, just as you requested."

Taking the ball from his father, Scott stared at it in awe. "This is so awesome! Baseball is the best!"

"We should get a picture to commemorate this," Rachel said. Finn pulled his phone out and opened the camera app as the Hudson family gathered close for a picture. Snapping it, Finn showed the picture to his wife and kids.

"Pretty," Abby cooed.

"Very pretty," Rachel agreed with a bright beam.


Author's Note: I couldn't resist the Finchel kids at a baseball game. And Abby and Scott will be getting some siblings soon! Thanks for all the great reviews!
