I am Who I am
I do not own Glee, it's 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.
Chapter Seventeen: Epilogue.
Finchel plus Chris had returned from California and Chris was pulling his Range Rover into a spot in the school parking lot when he spotted Adele. His breath hitched, she was so beautiful. He couldn't believe he hurt her like he did. Sometimes Hudson men are slow. He really was stupid; he doesn't even know why he kissed Madi back. He should have pushed her away. She walked into the school; so he grabbed his backpack and walked into the halls of McKinley.
He let the morning go ahead as scheduled. He and Adele had one class jointly in the afternoon, but they did have study hall and lunch back to back together. So here he was sitting in the study hall room staring at the back of her head. She had her hair braided, he could smell her flowery perfume from where he sat. Mr. Grant left the room, he thought this was his chance. He got up and walked toward her sitting next to her pulling the gift he brought her from his bag. He placed it in front of her.
Adele stared at the box sitting in front of him then looked at the handsome boy sitting next to her, back to the box. She lifted the lid and peered inside finding a mini grand piano with Alicia Keyes, Amy Lee and Chantal Kreviazuk signatures on the small Wooden piano. A small smile materialized across her beautiful mouth.
"Thank you Chris" she whispered so she wouldn't cry.
"You're welcome. But you didn't see the best part. He took the piano and collapsed the lip pin showing her the lid. Her eyes lit up and a tear appeared. She read the inscription.
"To one Adele from another, Give him a chance."
Then under that she had written some song lyrics
"I dare you to let me be your, your one and only. I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms"
She then opened it up once more and inside the piano was a small note so she picked it up and read it.
"I've known little Huddy since he was small, he is worthy of forgiveness. Adele"
Adele looked at Chris with tears in her eyes she placed a chaste kiss to his cheek. "We'll talk" is all she said, but it was enough to give Chris hope. Then the bell rang and she was gone.
Chris had an okay week, he was at his Burt and Carole's with the little ones while his parents were at the studio.
"Hey kiddo, you look down" came from Burt sitting in Grandpa Chris recliner.
"Yeah" He responded.
"Girl problems"
"Mmm hmmj"
"She still won't forgive you?" Burt inquired.
"Nope" Chris popped the p for effect.
"Give me something to work with kid" Burt chuckled.
"It's just, I gave her a gift, you know, it was signed by all her favorite artist. Even Adele wrote her a note. All she said was 'we'll talk' what does that mean. When are we gonna talk. Girls are so confusing. I've said I was sorry. I haven't been with anyone since she broke up with me. I know for a fact she dated some guy. So why…I don't even know any more why I'm mopping around after her when it's clear she's moved on."
"You don't know that for sure Chris. You haven't seen her with this guy have you?" Chris shook his head no. "See, has she updated her status on what is it… tumbletweet." Burt asked.
Chris laughed at his pops "It's Facebook, no she hasn't"
"Alright kid, you need to Lloyd Dobler her" Burt smiled proud of himself.
"I need to what now, huh?"
"When I was younger, there was a movie called Say Anything. The girl broke up with the guy and he tried to win her back. The arch of the movie was Lloyd standing outside her house with a boom box above his head playing a song. She eventually forgave him and they moved to England."
"What's a boom box and why would we move to England" Chris asked while Burt was gapped jawed. Sometimes he forgets Chris is Finn's son. Things tend to get lost when they are overwhelmed with emotion. Not to say either are stupid because they are not, they just tend not to get references.
"Point is you need to show her how much you care for her and be willing to make a fool of yourself to do it." Burt looked at his grandson who still wore a look of confusion. He got up handed him the IPad. "Netflix-Say Anything. Then we will talk" Leaving Chris to watch the movie.
It had been a week since Chris watched the movie his pops was talking about and he got the message. So now he was scouring iTunes to find the perfect song. His mom walked by looked in his room and the extreme concentration on her son's face intrigued her.
"What are you doing?" She cajoled.
Chris jumped at the sound of his mom's voice. "Nothing" he responded.
"Really, because you had on your concentration face" Rachel giggled.
"My concertation face?" Chris looked up from his lap top questioning his mom.
"It's the same face your father gets when he is deep in game film, or song writing."
Chris knew his mom well enough to know she wasn't gonna let up until he caved and told her what he was doing.
"I'm looking for a song for Adele. Pops told me to Lloyd Dobler her"
Rachel let out a robust laugh and wiped the tears seeping from her eyes. "Burt loves that movie. But he has a point. Whenever your dad did something to make me mad he'd find the right song to serenade me with and I was a pile of mush."
"And that's different than any regular day in the Hudson house how?" Chris teased his mom.
"Ok smart ass, I'm not gonna help you if you're gonna make fun of me." Rachel eased away from the bed toward the door hoping he'd stop her.
"Mom, wait. I'm sorry. No more jokes about how you and dad still think you're teenagers in love" Chris smiled.
Rachel rolled her eyes and sat on the bed with her eldest then asked him a question. "How do you feel when you are with Adele?"
Chris was thoughtful for a moment; speaking one word "Home"
Rachel smiled because she knows that feeling. "Who is her favorite artist?"
"Chantal" Chris began to understand what his mom was trying to say. Rachel smiled and said "get your but to the studio, dad's there and he wants something to do."
Chris grabbed his keys and wallet before pausing "Thanks mom" Rachel went on her tip toes and kiss her son's cheek. "Get your girl"
Chris and Finn had worked well into the night changing the arrangement and then laying down the track. Chris was not used to singing in front of others but this wasn't just any other. This was Adele the girl he loved.
After some much needed rest, Chris was up and getting everything together that he'd need for tonight. He already talked to Dr. Foreman making sure Adele was home and not on some date with a douche bag.
Chris made his way to his Range Rover and drove over to Adele's house. He parked in her driveway, opening the windows doors and hatch so the song could be heard. Because despite what pops told him he couldn't find this boom box he was talking about.
He pressed play on his IPhone and his voice came through the speakers while he stood outside the SUV watching for Adele to acknowledge him.
Somethin' in your eyes makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feelin' lasts the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
Chris saw the curtains in her bedroom move. She appeared like an angel. More beautiful than the first time he heard her voice in that calculus class.
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there is light
Adele couldn't believe Chris was outside her window singing her favorite song in the whole world. She was in a dark place after her mom was murdered. Moving to a new town. But when she met Chris she felt home again.
Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much
Adele moved away from the window and rushed down the steps. She threw open the door and ran to Chris. Adele jumped into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. Chris caught her and was hesitant to kiss her, but Adele made up his mind for him by capturing his lips with hers. Chris' voice continued wafting through the night air. As the couple kissed.
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Chris and Adele stayed holding each other for a while until her dad flashed the porch light. "Well, I guess I should go" Chris said.
"Yes, I guess so" Adele stated sadly.
"This does mean you're my girl again. Right?" Chris asked opening the door to the Range Rover.
Adele looked back and said "yes"
The next year passed quickly for the couple. They managed to make it to graduation, Adele on her way to Julliard, Chris on his way to Fordham. They both were staying in a dorm for the first year. Chris is on a part scholarship and Adele had a full ride to Julliard.
Chris stood there in his parents back yard (Still in the big house) watching everyone who had attended their high school graduation. He spotted Adele and she gave him her soft Chris smile, as he called it. He knew that smile and he remembered the first time she gave it to him.
*Flashback*
They had been back together for six months and it was Adele's eighteenth birthday. Chris had the house to himself. His parents were in LA with the little ones and The grandparents. Chris couldn't go he had finals and despite his Uncle Will, being the new principle he couldn't get them changed. But he was 18 and his parent trusted him.
He couldn't cook so he ordered food from their favorite restaurant and made a picnic in the family room. He sent the car service to pick her up from her house so he could get candles and twinkly lights set up and music on the iPod.
He heard her open the front door and went to greet her. "Hi, beautiful" he pulled her for a kiss.
"Hi, the car was nice"
"Happy Birthday" He told her. She smiled shyly at him standing on her tip toes to kiss his lips "Thank you"
"Want to go in?" Chris pointed to the family room.
She nodded her head as Chris headed to the family room. He put his hand on the small of her back and led her into the room where she gasped in surprise at how beautiful the room was and how much thought Chris put into the date. She heard the music as she entered the house and it changed as the entered the family room. Both were some of her favorite ballads. She thought to herself 'smooth Hudson'
"I can't cook so, I ordered from that place on Main. I ordered a few entrees so we have a choice" Chris was explaining.
They sat and Chris opened the containers of a meal consisting of Greek food. They both loved the flavors of the Mediterranean. His mom says it's because they are Jewish and they share some of the same flavor profile as the Greeks north of Israel on the Mediterranean Sea.
It took them a long time to get here. Despite reuniting when Chris serenaded Adele, she was protective of her heart. They had many conversations, apologies, explanations, fights and kisses. But they were stronger for it and the protective shield she kept over her heart had started to break.
The music was playing they were drinking sparkling wine, don't tell their parents, just sitting by the fire enjoying each other's company. Adele was thinking back on the last six months and remembered every little thing Chris did to earn her trust and she knew she could trust him once again with her heart.
Adele pulled apart from Chris to face him. She pulled his face to hers with both hand on either side of his face. This is where he first saw it, that soft smile reserved for him and the one he would associate with this night for the rest of his life. She kissed him, but this kiss was different. He felt that the wall that was between them had crumbled and they were back.
"Chris make love to me" She said, not a demand, not scared. The words were soft but so sure.
When they dated before she wanted to have sex but he put the brakes on it because he wasn't ready, but Adele could feel in the kiss that he was ready. They would be each other's first. Adele had started on the pill two years ago in anticipation. She was prepared in every aspect of her life.
Chris looked into Adele's eyes and gave her a barely perceptible nod and took her into his arms. Strong and masculine but soft and loving. They kissed, taking their time. She was not expected home and his parents or sibs wouldn't be bothering them tonight or tomorrow.
Chris started with her shirt. He pulled it over her head and she was there in a black lacy bra. She pulled his shirt off staring at his muscular chest. Football has been very good to him. She slid her hands down his chest to the top of his jeans and unbutton them, then pulling the zipper. He stood there with his jeans opened mimicking her movements to her jeans.
They removed each other's pants and stood in boxers and lacey bra and lacey thong. "You are so beautiful" he whispered. She gave him that smile and tugged his boxers down releasing his erection. Standing at attention she marveled at how big he was. He felt her stare and a small blush roamed his body.
He pulled her to a kiss and snaked his hand around her back unclasping her bra. She let it fall and he looked at her naked chest. Bending down for a small kiss to each of her mounds, it was her turn to blush. Panties were separating them so Chris took it upon himself to drag them down her tanned legs leaving her bare to him. She was perfectly groomed with a small patch of hair at the triangle of her thighs.
Laying down together, Chris settled between Adele's legs. She opened up to him and he lined up at her entrance. He started caressing her chest kissing her lips and he entered her taking her virginity giving her his.
Chris stilled once he was buried deep within her tight smooth walls, letting her adjust and the pain subsiding. She lifted her head to capture his lips and he knew it was ok to move. He thrusted into her slowly as not to overwhelm her. She finally started to moan and he knew he wouldn't last long. He felt between them to find he sensitive nub and started circling his finger around it. He pumped in and out and his paced picked up. He couldn't hold back any longer and he grunted, releasing into her. He caught his breath and slipped out of her but his hand remained. He worked her clit while fingering her until he felt the contraction of the muscular walls that had been surrounding him. Adele let out a long moan of Chris's name and looked at him like he hung the moon.
"I'm sorry I couldn't last longer and we could you know, together."
"Chris this was perfect and when I'm recovered in a little while we will be doing that again and we will get it. We are Sympatico Christopher Hudson. I fully intend on reaching an orgasm with you inside of me soon.
They moved to Chris's bedroom and repeated their first time until he had her screaming his name while buried deep in her walls.
*End Flashback*
He watched Adele come closer to him and pulled her for a kiss. "I love you" He told her. "I know; I love you too. Why are you over here by yourself? This party is half yours you know."
He smiled at her gave her one more kiss and they joined the party.
Later into the night Finn took to the make shift stage and the mic. "Thanks everyone for coming and celebrating this great day for the Hudsons and the Foremans. We are so proud of both of you, and just like your mom and I, Chris you will be headed to NYC with your girl taking it by storm. I fully expect to come to Carnegie Hall to hear Adele play and to my old field to watch my son break all of my records. We love you both. To Chris and Adele!"
"To Chris and Adele!
Rachel made her way over to her husband who was feeling the effects of drinking pretty much all day. She sat on his lap and kissed the lips she's been kissing since she was fifteen years old. "I love you"
"I Love you too baby. Good day?" He asked
"One of the best. Thank you for the best life I could have never dreamed I always wanted. You taught me and our kids to be who we are and that it is enough"
Finn smiled through his buzz and looked lovingly at his wife "You're my hero you know."
She gave him her Rachel Berry smile "You're mine"
