I am Who I am
I do not own Glee, its characters, it's dialogue or musical compositions. I do not own any music that is being used in the fiction, it belongs to the singer and or songwriter.
I own my plot and characters.
As always my fictions are chalked full of Finchel Smut. If you can't handle it this is not for you.
Chris is the main focus of this story along with his parents. The other kids will feature in a small capacity.
The story will follow Glee Canon, but will contain some AU.
Finn and Rachel finished the album and its award season for the Music Industry. Their album consists of all genres of music, Rock, pop, country, and Broadway (come on its Rachel Berry). They are fresh off their CMA win for Song of the Year (Suck it Taylor Swift). You will find the link to the Album artwork on my profile page.
HONOR THE TETHER! REMEMBER THE DRUMMER!
Chapter Sixteen: Award Season
Two weeks ago, that's how long it's been since they brought home the CMA for Song of the Year. They recorded an album with all different genres and never in their wildest dreams did they think that the country world with embrace them with such fierceness and bestow upon them one of Country Music's highest awards. They recorded "It ain't yours to Throw Away" because it reminded Finn of the time in college when they had two kids and another on the way, Rachel wanting to give up and just stay home. Finn had signed with the Giants so money wasn't' the issue. But Finn refused to let her give up on Broadway and she landed her first role not too long after that. The song mirrored the sentiment Finn had told her.
"Rachel you have a gift, and by not sharing it with the world, you are throwing it away. Even if you only ever sing for 10 people a night. They deserve to hear your voice."
She of course went full steam ahead and won her first Tony for that role. He'd never been prouder of her. So now 16 years later they recorded a song to remind them of that time in their lives and the people of country radio took to it like no one could have seen.
When they were nominated against the likes of Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw there was no way they thought they'd actually win; but they did and now they were off in California at the Grammy's.
Rachel already has a Grammy from her first album, but she really wanted this one because it would be with Finn. Finn has been her biggest supporter, her rock, her husband, her everything. He made sure she got to New York, even with a baby he didn't not waiver on them getting to New York. He worked to get his scholarship to Columbia and lead them to a National championship, then with the Giants he worked his butt off winning the Superbowl four times.
Doing this album with him has been a dream come true for her. Finn has always been her muse and she his; it's nice to share that with the world.
Their plane just landed and while Finn and Rachel were gathering their carryon's Chris was getting his. The other kids were in Lima with Burt and Carole. Finn and Rachel thought it'd be nice if Chris came to the Grammy's with them and maybe it would cheer him up a bit. He's been so down ever since Adele broke up with him. She won't even talk to him, so he's been brooding.
They headed to the car waiting for them along with the pap's. One of them yelling Chris's name. they all looked over to the photographer and he shoved a mic in Chris's face.
"Chris word is you cheated on your girlfriend. Twitter has been all ablaze with it for months. Is it true?"
Before Chris could answer Finn pushed him toward the car and closed the door. Once Chris was safely in the car away from the flashes, Finn turned on the pap. "Dude, not cool. My kids are off limits as well as their private lives. They are not famous; you don't get to pry into them." With that Finn gave his famous half smile, shook the hand of the guy holding the other door for him and got in while the driver sped away from LAX.
Once they got checked into their suite at the Beverly Wilshire, the stylist came with racks of dresses for Rachel. Finn and Chris had their Armani suits shipped so they were already pressed and hanging in the suite.
The Grammy's were the next night. So, Finn took Chris out while Rachel worked with the stylist.
Sitting at the In and Out Burger on Sunset, Finn started to talk to his son.
"I know you are having a hard time bud. I'm sorry and I wish there was something I could do to help"
"Mmm" was Christopher's response.
"It's tough being away from the girl you love." Finn countered. Chris regarded his dad with a huff.
"How could you know what I'm going through. You've been with mom since the dyno's roamed the earth."
"Hey now, we are not that old. I'm gonna tell you something Chris, no one knows. Mom and I never told anyone. So keep this to yourself." Finn said and Chris nodded.
"My third year on the Giants, mom left me." Finn told his son watching the confused boy in front of him.
"Dad, I was ten. I would have remembered that." Chris said incredulously.
Finn chuckled at bit then continued. "Summer camp. You and Bella went to summer camp in Ohio. Ana was still a baby…. Finn paused because he was still ashamed he let things get out of hand…I was in summer camp and we had all gone to a bar in Jersey. There were the local girls…Finn looked at his son knowing there was some anger boiling up to the surface…let me finish before you try beating your old man up. The local girls were all over the team. I told them I was married, they seemed to be alright with that. I went to the bathroom and when I came out there was a red head waiting. And before I knew it she had her lips on mine and the pap's were taking pictures. Mom was pissed. She was stressed because Ana was sick and her show 'Hit List' was getting started. I was away at camp. Deep down she knew the pictures weren't telling the truth but she kicked me out for two months. I know its been way longer than that with you and Adele. But it was the worst two months of my life. Coach threaten to take my spot if I didn't make it right with mom. So I swallowed my pride and beg her to forgive me. She did and years later she told me she may have acted rashly. But it was really my fault. A married guy has no business being in a bar without his wife."
Chris listened intently and could not believe what his dad was saying. "So how did you get her to forgive you. I mean our situations are not the same. I actually kissed Madi. Dad I'm so stupid. I don't know why and I can't even explain it to myself."
"No they aren't' the same, but the underlying truth is. That truth is you love Adele. How can you show her that"?
Chris was thoughtful for a minute then spoke "I could buy…" but Finn cut him off. "Buying her things is surface son, you have to show her."
"What do I need to do dad?" Pleaded Chris.
"You've done the biggest and that's tell Madi where you stand. Staying away from her also helps. But you have to be willing to let Adele go and be happy. If she chooses to be with someone else, you have to let her be happy and truly be happy for her. Be her friend. Let her know she can depend on you without the possibility of a romance."
"Could you let mom go" Chris inquired.
"It would kill me to let her go. But if she was truly unhappy with me and our life I'd have to. Her happiness along with you and your brothers and sister's happiness is my number one priority."
Chris gazed at his dad knowing her was right. "Thanks dad. For an old guy you are pretty cool."
Finn belly laughed at his kid "Well, what can I say I am pretty cool" then threw on his sunglasses and the Hudson men walked out to flashes going off and hearing their names.
Later that night Chris laid in his bed at the Beverly Wilshire listen to his IPhone looking through his pictures. He sighed and decided to text Adele
From Chris: Hey, I know you don't want to talk to me and I get that, but I will be at the Grammy's tomorrow and I thought you'd like an autograph from Amy Lee and Chantal Kreviazuk. Mom says they are both gonna be there and she knows them so….
He put his phone down not expecting a response so he closed his eyes. A little while later his phone buzzed he picked it up seeing who it was from and read the message.
From Adele: That would be very kind of you, as you know they are my idols. If you get the chance, I wouldn't say no to an autograph…. ;)
She ended with a winky smile. What did that mean? Oh my god what does that mean, Chris was going insane thinking about what that could possibly mean. He jumped off the bed and went out to the living room of the two-bedroom suite and approached his parent's door before he heard something he wish he could scrub from his memory.
"Finn Yes, right there…baby faster"
"Rach…Oh god…"
Chris wanted to die. God his parents are animals. They are old. How do they have so much sex? He hurriedly push is ear buds back into his ears and raced back to his bedroom. Slamming the door in the process. He text the next best thing to his mom. Her twinsie. Uncle Kurt.
From Chris: Uncle Kurt, two things, first I text Adele and asked if she'd like me to get her Amy and Chantal's autographs. She text back and ended with a winky smile. What does that mean? And two I need ear bleach the rents are at it again.
From Uncle Kurt: You poor child. Keep the earbuds in and the music loud. I lived with them, it is not pretty music to your ears. Well a winky smile could mean nothing. Or it could mean she is happy you'd think about her enough to get her autographs from her idols.
From Chris: Should I text her back? Uncle Kurt, I love her and want to get back with her but I don't want to push her.
From Uncle Kurt: I say and Uncle Blainyday's agrees, text her with "I would be more than happy to do it for you. I look forward to giving it to you when I get back from California." That way you respond but don't look like your pushing a convo, then if she wants to continue the talking the ball is in her court.
Chris thank his uncle making sure to keep his earbuds in as he text Adele what his uncles said. She responded with a short thanks. So Chris knew she wasn't ready to talk with him. So he let it go and finally fell asleep with a little bit of hope in his heart.
The morning of the Grammys Chris was up before his horny parents so he ate breakfast, left a note for his parental unit and went to the gym. He could use a good work out and then a cool down in the pool before the event. He was running on the treadmill when his mom came in and jumped on the elliptical.
Chris looked at her she smiled indicating for him to remove his earbuds. "Good morning son of mine" She said cheerily.
"Mom" Chris responded dryly. She knew that tone. He must have heard them last night. "I'm sorry. Sometimes dad and I forget ourselves."
"Please for the love of Moses stop talking" Chris chuckled at his mom's embarrassment.
"Okay. Are you excited for tonight?" She asked.
"You know, I really am. Don't let me forget to get Amy and Chantal to sign something for Adele." Chris told his mom.
"You talked to Adele?"
"Just a few texts. But that's progress."
"It is. It really nice you remembered who her favorites are."
"I love her of course I remember" Chris looked at his mom like she was nuts. She knows this but then he saw it a little twinkle in her eye.
"Mom what are you up to?"
"Nothing absolutely nothing. I got to get back upstairs, Estee and her team will be here in a few and I got to be showered before they arrive" Rachel jumped off the machine and kiss her son's cheek then with a wink she left the gym with him yelling after her.
"Mom what did you do? MOM…" Chris let out a long breath. He knows his mom and he knows the look she had in her eye. She is up to something, he swears it. He finishes his run and takes a dive into the pool cooling down. After a couple of hours of being lazy poolside he decided he's gonna go take a nap. He's been to awards shows and he know that they can be long and boring so he'll nap so he won't fall asleep at the show.
Finn and Chris were sitting in the living room of their hotel suite waiting for Rachel to be ready. Her glam squad as she dubbed them were running around the suite, throwing things, packing things, unpacking things and finally she was ready.
She was stunning as per usual. She was in a silver embroidered Marchesa dress. Her hair was pulled back into a French twist.
"Babe" Finn was able to say.
"You look great mom." Chris was honestly in awe of his mom. She was beautiful.
"My handsome boys. I always love you in Armani. You almost look like twins." She told them.
They walked the Red Carpet, gave interviews. Joked with Ryan Seacrest, who was always a big fan of Finn. They took pictures together and alone. Finally, they were inside and the show started.
Finchel was up for three awards. Best Collaboration, Album of the Year and Song of the Year.
It was time for the first award that they were up for the nominees were announced and Alicia Keyes read the winner for Best Collaboration "Finchel Finn and Rachel Hudson for Just a Fool"
Finn helped Rachel up out of their seat and after Chris gave his dad a congratulatory hand shake and a kiss to his mom's cheek Finchel made it up to the stage and collected their Grammy.
Rachel was the first to speak. "Wow, this is amazing. Thank you to the association. Thank you radio for playing our song. Thank you to Stephan, Wayne and Claude for writing an amazing song. Thank you LA for producing a wonderful track as well as the entire album. I'd like to that our kids that couldn't be here today, we love you Bella, Aiyana, Cullen, Ranya and Conor now go to bed. To my dads thank you for loving me. Chris, our oldest son who is here with us. Isn't he handsome. And to this guy…she says pulling Finn up to the mic…I couldn't be Rachel without Finn so I love you and now you can talk.
The audience always ate Finchel up whenever they appeared together. Tonight was no different. Finn took to the mic.
"Well after a Heisman, a national championship and four Superbowls I have to say this is my favorite award because I got to do it with this beautiful creature. She is everything. She has stood by me through the injuries, the not so good seasons and with me through the victories. She gave me six wonderful kids. And she's still smoking hot…laughter ensued as Rachel swatted Finn's arm in mock offense…. this is just icing on an already amazing cake. Thanks."
Chris sitting in his seat watching his goofy parents knowing the love they share is what makes them so special. Of course dad would reference cake…. maybe I'm hungry…he thought waiting for his parents to return to their seats so these creepy seat fillers can go away.
The night was a big one for Finchel they ended up winning all three awards and now they are getting ready to leave. Rachel pulled Chris off to the side and seemingly out of nowhere Tank appears.
"Tank" he yells and Rachel laughs pulling out a lanyard and ticket. "Here this is for you. You are sixteen now and dad and I thought you'd like to attend an after party. So we are letting you go to the Billboard Hot 100 20 under 20 party. Hunter Hayes, Shawn Mendez are the host. The girls from 5th Harmony are gonna be there. Tank is here to make sure you stay safe and make it back to the hotel in one piece."
Chris was eyeing his mom trying to hear everything she was saying but he lost his sense of hearing when she said after party. He was attending an after party without his parents. Holy crap that's awesome.
"Thank you thank you thank you." Chris grabbed up his mom in a big hug nodded his dad's way then turned to Tank "lets go" Tank nodded and led Chris to the Hummer. He opened the back door for Chris and when he looked inside he was surprised.
"Holy shit what are you doing here?" He said to the guest in the Hummer.
"Your mom flew us in. you have the best parents ever." Abrams told him.
"I can't believe we got to go to the Grammy's and now we are going to an after party with real musicians that we actually like. This is no tengo palabras*" Lopez recited.
Tank got the boys settled in the car and took off to the after party.
Meanwhile, at the Beverly Wilshire in the Finchel Suite Finn had his wife naked and pinned under him 10 minutes after arriving from the venue.
Rachel was writhing under her still fit and oh so handsome husband while he thrusted into her slowly. She loved having sex Finn. She loved Fucking Finn. But most of all she loved making slow sleepy love to her Finn.
Finn had his arms wrapped under her shoulders keeping their chest together. He snapped his hips to hers slow. Kisses were plentiful as were words of love and devotion. He pulled his long, thick length out to the tip and pushed back inch by inch slowly and sleepily. There was no rush. There was just the two of them in this room only to love and be loved.
Rachel arched her torso into Finn. The slow pace was a delicious torture she could never get enough of. Her husband knew exactly what she needed, how and when. He pulled and pushed. Thrust and thrusted. His tongue matched his thrusts in an even loving pace. The sun came up as they both came. Promising to never let go. Finn pulled his wife to him watching her as she fell asleep in his arms. He then heard his son and his two friends enter the suite and fell asleep as well. Dreams of the perfect life filled his sleep. But him knowing reality was just as good if not better than the dream.
So that was the long awaited chapter. We are getting to an Adele and Chris reunion. But she will not give in easily. She's gonna make him work for it. Finchel is love. Reviews are encouraged. If I was like Sister Agatha, my high school English teacher Reviews would be mandatory, but I'll keep them optional. Till next time.

Chantal KreviazukBirth Name: Chantal Jennifer Thelma-Ramupriya Kreviazuk Born: May 18, 1973 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. A young classically trained pianist from Winnipeg, Chantal Kreviazuk gained a record contract from Sony - as a vocalist - without ever having performed live. Born in Manitoba, Kreviazuk was an infant prodigy at the piano, winning competitions and receiving classical education on piano as well as voice. Similar to many top-flight pop musicians, who turn away from their classical past as part of adolescent rebellion, she began writing her own pop songs, especially after a 1994 motorcycle accident in Italy left her immobile for several months. Despite an obvious lack of performing experience - at least on the popular level - Kreviazuk was signed by Sony Canada at the age of 22 years old. Working with pop producer Peter Asher and the more alternative-minded Matt Wallace for her debut album, she released Under These Rocks and Stones in June 1997. It sold over 100,000 copies on the strength of the single "God Made Me." Her cover of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" was featured on the Armageddon soundtrack, and she also covered Randy Newman's "Feels Like Home" for the Dawson's Creek soundtrack and the Beatles' "In My Life" for the NBC series Providence. Her second album Colour Moving and Still was released in April 2000. A month later, Kreviazuk won two Juno Awards for "Best Female Artist" and "Best Pop/Adult Album" for Colour Moving and Still. Three years later, she reemerged with her most cohesive material to date with What If It All Means Something. Ghost Stories followed in 2006. ~ John Bush
