DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GLEE OR ITS CHARACTERS! THAT'S ALL FOR RYAN MURPHY!

A/N: Sorry for no update yesterday as promised with my 'update schedule'. I didn't have any time to post So today I present to you two updates to appease any hurt feelings (haha :P) ENJOY AND REVIEW!

5. Pet Names

"Baby, I'm so sorry, but I don't think we're going to make it back from Columbus in time to see you," Hiram weeps. "Our damn firm is being so uptight about us just dropping this case."

"Oh dad," Rachel sighed sadly. "I really need to see you guys. It's been too long and I really feel terrible."

"I-I know!" Hiram cries.

Leroy takes the phone from his devastated partner.

"Princess, is there any way you can get to Columbus tomorrow?" Leroy begged.

Rachel bit her lip; that meant she'd have to stay in Lima for another couple of days. She'd be away from Broadway even longer than the three days she's already been gone…

But this is important; this is worth it.

"I'll cancel my flight back and I'll be there. I don't know how I'll get there, but I will," She tells him. "I'm so sorry for not coming sooner, Daddy."

"Sweetie, we know that you meant well," Leroy tells her. "We still love you very much and miss you like crazy."

"I love you so much. Tell that to dad, too," She sniffles. "And I promise to be there tomorrow."

"We can't wait, princess. Bye-Bye now," Leroy hangs up.

Rachel rubs at her eyes and goes into the bathroom, stopping when she realizes Finn is in their brushing his teeth.

"It's fine, I'm just brushing my teeth. Do you gotta shower or pee?" He asks with a toothpaste full mouth, Rachel barely able to decipher any word he's speaking.

She shakes her head, "No, I just came to brush my teeth too."

She takes out her toothbrush and puts on some toothpaste, brushing her teeth next to Finn. She kind of enjoys this. It's like they live together. She means, if you subtract the whole screwed up situation it was, then it was like they live together.

He notices her puffy red eyes and spits, rinsing his mouth out.

"What's up?" He asks her.

The past couple of days had been going pretty well. They hadn't been best friends ever since they went out, but when they ran into each other they were okay with talking for a while and the even watched some TV together this morning while Burt and Carole went to see an adoption agency worker.

Rachel rinses her mouth out before turning to look at him. He looks really adorable in his Superman sleep shirt and plaid pajama pants. She wears a little nightie that is a major turn on, but Finn's glad he's gained some control over his southern member and is able to settle down before he gets a noticeable hard on.

"I'm staying for a few more days," She tells him.

"T-That's cool," He offers.

No, that's fucking great! He can try and become at least a friend of Rachel's again.

"Yeah, but I need to figure out how I can get a rental car. I need to go see my dads' in Columbus and I need to get a hotel room and-."

"I'll take you," He interrupts. "Yeah, I have to get back to work anyways, so I have to go home. And my apartment has two rooms, so if you need a place to stay, you can stay with me."

"Finn, are you sure? I don't want to be bothersome," She shakes her head.

"Of course I'm sure! And I wouldn't have asked you if I thought you'd be bothersome," He smiles. "Come on, that way you don't have to spend your money and sleep in some shitty city hotel. Columbus may be friendly, but that doesn't mean it isn't scum town."

She smiles softly, "Thank you so much!"

She jumps up to hug him and he quickly wraps his arms around her small body, relishing in the feel of Rachel. Her soft skin in brushing against his neck and face and forearms and he just loves it. There's another thing that stayed the same; her soft body. She feels the same in his arms.

She slides away from him and fixes her nightie.

"Well, then, Finn, I'll be ready tomorrow morning."

"Sure thing, Rach," He uses his old pet name, causing her to stop in her tracks.

"Sounds great, Finny," She softly says before returning to her room with a bright smile on her face.

Things were going to be fine.

-glee-

She tries calling Adam in the morning but he doesn't answer. After showering and saying goodbye to Kurt, Blaine, Burt, and Carole, Finn and her pack up into his truck and start their two or three hour drive back to Columbus. They are singing along to the classic rock station when she gets a text from Adam.

"Finally," She mutters, opening the message.

It's a picture of his erection, with a caption saying, 'I wish you were here'.

She rolls her eyes in disgust. Really? He couldn't be sweet and romantic? He's honestly trying to sext with her?

She's not that kind of girl. She deletes the message quickly and turns her phone off.

"So, Finn, any girlfriends I should know about before going into your apartment?" She asks him.

"Nope," He shakes his head. "Haven't had a girlfriend since you."

She gapes at him, "What do you mean? You're so attractive, though, and sweet."

He chuckles, "Thanks. And I do go out with girls. I mean, it's more of the physical factor, never the emotional one, you know?"

She blushes at the thought of Finn rolling around, fucking some ditzy blonde. She shouldn't really be surprised by this. Like she said, Finn was attractive and sweet; everything a one night stand could be looking for.

"I know," She nods, "But none of these girls ever want to start a relationship with you?"

He shakes his head, "No, not really. Well, my neighbor Mindy is into me. Sometimes I think she wants to be a couple, but I'm not really sure. It's not like I'm that into her anyways."

"You should give it a try," She suggests. "It's healthy to date many people."

He just nods. Soon they arrive and he pulls up to the café that Hiram and Leroy were at, waiting for their daughter. Rachel smiles and gives Finn yet another hug, and if he doesn't feel like the luckiest guy in the world by now, he has no sense.

"Thank you so much for the ride Finn. Now are you sure you are willing to let me stay in your apartment?"

"Yeah. But I have to go to work. I'm done by three, so just call me to tell me when you're ready. Or else your dads' can drop you off. Here's the address," He sends her a message with the address.

"The key is under the bear statue. Don't ask why I have that statue there in the first place," He shakes his head, causing Rachel to laugh.

"Thank you," She gushes. "I'll probably be in late, so don't worry about me. I'll see you later, Finny."

"See you, Rach."

He's glad that they're on the pet name level again. He peels out of the parking lot and drives off to the campus, ready to help the Buckeye's shape up and win every future game ahead of them.
