As always, I do not own any characters from Glee, I only own my original characters and plot.

"What do I do?" asked Finn again to Mikey who was standing with his mouth open slightly, stunned at what had just transpired. Mikey then turned around and looked at Finn. 'Mate, if you don't take the chance tonight, what will happen? You may never see her again. If the fates allowed this to happen, maybe you should take the chance and talk to her.' "What did you say Mikey" Finn looked surprised. 'I said..' Finn interupted Mikey. "I heard you first time, but you said something that she said ten years ago." 'What was that then?' Mikey asked. "If the fates allow. I have to take this as a sign Mikey, the fates are giving us another chance for our paths to cross. I'd be foolish not to." Finn said almost excitedly.

'Mate calm down. Have you thought how you are going to get near her with the other girls constantly around her?'. Finn then smiled. "You are my ticket." 'What?' Mikey spat out his beer that he had began to drink. 'Me? Why me?' "You've just sang with her. You can go up and take me with you and chat with them. You're good around women, I'm just a wreck at the best of times, you know that." Mikey looked at Finn then over to Rachel and her friends. 'Fine, come on then.'

As the guys were walking over towards Rachel, a few people stopped and shook Mikeys hand for singing well making Finn a little impatient. When they finally got to the bachelorette party, a blond approached Mikey and started chatting to him. Finn looked sheepishly towards Rachel. Slowly he walked towards her. "You are a good singer Rachel." said Finn. Rachel turned round and smiled. 'Thank you, are you Mikey's friend that wouldn't go up on stage and sing then?' enquired Rachel. "What? I can't believe he actually told you that, truth is, I haven't sang in ten years." Rachel looked sad. 'Why though? I love singing and wouldn't be without it. "Heartbreak." said Finn. 'Oh, I'm sorry to hear that..sorry you never said your name, what is it?' asked Rachel.

Finn gulped and then gestured Rachel to go to the quiet side of the bar. "Truth is Rachel, I haven't sung for ten years. Like i said heartbreak, but it wasn't her fault, I always blamed myself." 'That's a shame, but you still haven't answered my question.' Rachel took a sip of her wine. "The amazing thing is Rachel, I recognised you from across the room, but you don't recognise me from my shitty internet connection all those years ago."

Rachel look bewildered and looked Finn up and down. Taking in all his features. Finn offered a weak dimpled smile to her. 'OMG! No way it can't be.' Rachel gulped another drink of her wine. 'Finn?' Finn then broke out in to a massive grin. "Now Rachel, I believe I owe you a hug, after all, I did promise it all those years ago." Finn opened up his arms and before he knew it, Rachel flung herself in to his arms and he squeezed her gently. "Nice to finally hold you Rach." laughed Finn. Rachel looked up at him as Finn looked down. Their eyes shining from happiness.

Mikey and Quinn then approached them. Mikey slapped Finn gently on the back. 'Mate, you got to meet the bride to be, she knows you too!' Finn turned round and squinted his eyes at the bride to be then smile. "Well isn't it the lovely Quinn, how are you doing?"

Quinn looked at Finn, then Rachel, back to Finn. 'Well I for one, can't believe what I am seeing. Do you live in NYC Finn?' "I do, I teach here too, I love NYC and when I arrived here I was in a bad way" his voice trailed off as the flash back of his heart break and then back to the present "but this city took me in, encouraged me to be me and embrace what I wanted to achieve in life."

'Wow Finn, I am pleased for you. Honestly I am. I also owe you an apology. Rachel had that email typed up all those years ago, I was the bitch that hit send and apparently at an inappropiate time in your life too, so I hope you can forgive me for that.'

Finn looked wide eyed at Quinn. "Of course Quinn, if you hadn't I probably wouldn't have done so much in my life and this night may never have happened. Congratulations on getting married though." Finn quickly drew her in for a hug.

"We will let you ladies enjoy the rest of your evening though, you have a party to have and we have stools to prop up" laughed Finn as he spun to Rachel and whispered in to her ear. "Do you still have my number in your phone?" Rachel nodded. "You ever need me whilst your here in New York, or anytime for that matter, use it okay, please?" Again Rachel nodded and Finn placed a kiss on her cheek and walked away with Mikey.

"Fuck." Rachel exclaimed. Quinn looked at her in bewilderment. 'You just swore Rachel, naughty, it's not like you," laughed Quinn. "What do I do now Quinn. Once I knew it was him, all these feelings came rushing back and lets face it, he's hot as fuck."

"Well Rachel, only you know, but like you said in your email, maybe the fates allowed this to happen, your paths have crossed." Rachel looked at Quinn. "What's on the schedule for tomorrow?" "Nothing apart from breakfast and then we meet up again around 4pm to start partying again, why?" Rachel smiled, "I gotta hang with him, just to see if there is anything there."

Rachel grabbed her phone out and scrolled to Finn's name. She kept his number all these years, not knowing why, but glad she did. Texting Finn, 'Hey, fancy meeting up tomorrow for a spot of lunch? R x' Watching reaching Finn in to his pocket and smiling as he read and responded to her text. 'Sure, I have an idea, drop me a text with the hotel your staying at and I will get you there. F x'

Finn seen Rachel laugh at her phone. 'You won't believe it when you read this, but the Hudson hotel. Maybe I should have realised the connection sooner xx'. Finn looked up and gave Rachel his cheeky half grin. 'Great, pick you up at 12. Dress for the weather outside, whatever we are blessed with. See you tomorrow as we are heading, enjoy the rest of your night. xx ps...I really wanted to kiss you but didn't want to be too presumptious. xx'

Rachel shot her head up quickly but scanning the room, she seen Finn and Mikey leave the club.
