Checking to make sure that Rachel was asleep, Finn retrieved his phone from the bedside table. He was glad that Rachel was such a heavy sleeper, because she so wouldn't be happy if she found out that he was playing music to her stomach again.
(It got really bad yesterday, because Finn had been following Rachel around and playing Latin music for an hour. It was partly because Scott and Abby had so much fun dancing to it, and it was partly because Finn wanted to make sure that the new baby wouldn't kick to it.)
Finn was determined to find the song that would make this baby kick, though. He went through classic rock, country, and Latin music. He thought it was hilarious that each of their kids (so far) had songs that triggered their kicking. He also knew for a fact that Rachel had been playing Broadway music nonstop to her stomach, as well, but she hadn't had any luck yet.
So Finn laid his head next to Rachel's stomach and hit shuffle on his phone. He slid one hand over the rounded bump on Rachel's abdomen and waited.
Ten songs later, and Finn was drifting off to sleep without any success. The song on his phone changed again, and Finn vaguely heard the opening beats of "Tricky" by Run DMC. He let his eyes close fully, figuring that he would eventually hit pause on the phone when he woke up once again.
But then he felt a thump on his hand.
Finn immediately woke up, and his head shot up as he stared down at Rachel's stomach. He held the phone closer and grinned when he felt two more little nudges against his hand.
He had found Hudson Baby number three's song.
"Daddy!" Abby beamed with a smile that was all Rachel Berry. "Song!"
Finn pulled his phone from his pocket and held back the grin that was threatening to break through. He was hoping that one of the kids would request that he play music from his phone again, because it would be the perfect opportunity to debut what the new song was.
He inched up behind Rachel, who was busy scrambling eggs for breakfast. Scott was perched on the counter next to her, handing her whatever cooking utensil she needed. Selecting "Tricky," Finn held the phone near Rachel's stomach.
"This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital/To rock (a rhyme), that's right (on time)/ It's tricky is the title/Here we go!"
As soon as the beat began to thump through the small speaker on the phone, Rachel jumped because the baby began kicking so exuberantly. She put her hand on the small of her back to support herself and looked at Finn with an arched eyebrow.
He grinned at her. "So I found the song."
"I can see that," Rachel responded. She looked down at her stomach, speaking more to the baby than anyone else. "Run DMC? Really?"
"I guess so," Finn said, and Rachel finally cracked a smile. She laughed further when Scott began to dance on the counter with the lack of skill he clearly inherited from his father. The poor boy had no rhythm at all.
Abby, on the other hand, was clapping her hands perfectly to the beat of the song. So Finn tried to dance as well, causing the rest of his family to laugh even harder. Finn just hoped that Baby Hudson number three didn't inherit his (lack) of dancing skills.
Any guesses on what Baby Hudson number four's song will be?
