Hey, so here's the second chapter! Sorry this took so long, but I wrote the next chapter like a month after the first one was up because I was just so busy and then I was going to post it the next week or two, but it didn't save right and all of it was just gone! :( But I finally got over my writer's block and here it is!
This story is based off of Comicbookfan's (telm_393) story, which you should go check out! It's called, It's A Bad Way.
I do not own Glee.
1994
Carole Johnson, a twenty six year old nurse is in the emergency room at Lima Memorial Hospital, waiting for someone to come in. It's twelve thirty a.m. on a Wednesday night, and it's not very busy.
She was talking with some of the other younger nurses when a man who looks to be about her age walks in. He is holding his left shoulder with a look of pain on his face. She runs over to him, excited to finally have a patient. "Hello! What seems to be your problem?"
It turns out that the man's name is Christopher Hudson, and he dislocated his left shoulder while training. He was going to join the army as soon as the needed recruits, and he wanted to stay in top shape so he was prepared.
They spent several months dating before he asked the question. They got married four months after he proposed. Two months after they were married Carole got pregnant. They hadn't been using protection because they wanted to have children, but they didn't want to plan everything so much, so they just didn't use a condom.
Fourteen months after they met each other, they had gotten married, gotten pregnant, and gotten sent to the Middle East.
Two months after Finn Christopher Hudson was born, his father died.
2002
Finn was eight years old, and he played football, baseball, basketball, and the drums. He was in third grade, and although it was hard for Carole to raise a growing son on her own, she did a pretty great job.
He was polite, and although he didn't hang out with the best group of boys, she knew that Noah Puckerman had helped Finn because he was sometimes on the shy side.
She did have to take night shifts at the hospital sometimes so he could go to a game, or a cub scout meeting, or a practice, but it was worth it.
2008
Carole was at the grocery store one day when she accidentally ran her cart into someone. The man, Burt Hummel, asked her out on a date the next week.
The two began dating, and Burt was really good with Finn. One night, a few weeks after the two got engaged, they were sitting on the couch watching a movie. Finn had gone out with some friends, and Carole caught the longing look Burt had after Finn left. It looked sad almost. "Burt," she started.
"Yes?"
"Is there something wrong. Do you want to talk about anything?"
"Uh, well," he stammered.
"You know you can tell me, right?"
"Yes, I know," he said, "Okay, so I haven't ever told anyone this before, but, uh, well I kind of have a son."
Carole's eyes widen in shock, and seeing her astounded expression, he continued, "It was a long time ago, he is probably about as old as Finn by now, but I met this girl at a bar, and we had sex, and she called a few weeks later and told me she was pregnant. I was going to stay with her, but she left the day after I found out. I never saw or heard from her again. The hospital called the day he was born because she put my name on the birth certificate, but there was no way to look either of them up. I don't even know his name."
"Oh, Burt," Carole said, "I am so sorry."
"Don't be," he said. "I was thinking about trying to find her some day, but then you and Finn came along, and you saved me. You're all I need."
2010
Carole got the call during work. Burt was in the hospital. She ran up to the floor he was on, but it was too late. He had a heart attack, and due to the lack of oxygen to his brain, he died.
Finn called to the principal's office during Spainish. He thought that he was in trouble, but when the principal said that he needed to drive to the hospital, he thought that it was his mom, since she worked there. He really didn't think anything bad was about to happen.
2011
"Hey, Finn?" Carole called.
"Yeah?" Finn answered, coming down the steps.
"I have some very important news for you."
"Uh, okay."
"Finn," Carole began, "A while back Burt had a son, and he is seventeen years old, the same grade and age as you. His mom died when he was little, and after that he just sort of fell of the radar, but they found him, and the only family that he had was Burt. We're the closest he's got, and he's going to be living with us for a little while."
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
"That's so cool! What's his name?"
"I don't know yet."
"Where is he from?"
"Well," Carole said, "He is from a place in San Fransisco, California. It's not a very good neighborhood."
"Oh. Wait, you said that his mom died. How did he live?"
"It's sort of a miracle he is still alive and healthy," Carole answered, trying to put on hold a very awkward conversation she was about to have to have.
"Are you not telling me something, mom?" Finn asked, "Cause I can totally tell when you're lying."
"Well," Carole began, "You see, he was a teenage prostitute."
Surely if Finn was drinking water he would have spit it out by now.
"What!"
"He was homeless, and he had to make money some how, but he is coming to live with us and you will be nice to this boy, and you will treat him kindly, and you will not bring any of this up unless he says it first, do you understand?"
"Yes, but I mean, that's so sad."
Carole just nodded.
Finn walked into glee club early that day so he could tell them about his new step-brother. Everyone was asking questions about him, but he didn't tell them any of the things his mom told him not to say. Basically, all that New Directions knew about him was that he was the same age as them, and he was from San Fransisco.
Hey! I hope you liked this chapter. It's kind of along with the first one, comparing how different Kurt's and Finn's childhoods were.
