Chapter 3
"Rachel, calm down. We'll deal with that stuff later. Right now, let me take care of you. Please?" he placed a hand on her belly.
"Well,…" Rachel look at her belly and patted it. She had missed Finn so badly. She never loved someone like she loved him. And she wanted her child to have a father. But….
"I don't know, Finn. I don't want us to be together just because of this child. If you don't want me we can work it out somehow. I mean, you can stop by anytime you want to. And one week she'll be with me and the other week with you. And…" Finn interrupted Rachel's nervous rambling.
"Rachel, calm down. I don't want us to be together just because it's easier to raise our child. I want to be with you because I love you. These last few months were hell. I thought I'd never see you again. And now that you're here. I'll never let you go" Rachel looked in his eyes to see complete determination. He was speaking the truth. He really wanted to be with her after she left him. When she drove to Ohio a thousand scenarios played in her head but she didn't think he would take her back so easily.
Finn was waiting for a response but Rachel was lost in her thoughts. He hoped she would take him back. He wanted to be a part of this family. He really do wanted to take care of them.
"Okay" She suddenly said. Finn raised his eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Yes!" She threw herself at him.
He held her in his arms. He missed hugging his petite girl. Rachel has always been someone who loved to cuddle, especially with him. They just fit. After minutes of hugging she pulled back and looked at his face. They looked in each other's eyes before he moved closer and placed a sweet kiss on her lips. When he kisses her it feels right. It feels like all the hurt he ever felt just disappears. He could kiss her for hours but they still needed to talk first. He had no idea how he would tell his mom because she'll be home soon, and so will Burt.
"Wait, when you were talking about that you didn't want me to be with you because of the baby, you said she. Are we having a girl." He asked her. He wanted to know everything about his kid.
"Yes, we're having a little baby girl." She said putting her hand on her belly again. Finn smiled and moved closer to her belly. He gave her belly a kiss and started talking.
"Hi, baby girl. I'm your daddy. I uhm…I don't really know what to say. I don't have a lot of experience talking to babies." He said feeling a little awkward about it.
"It's okay, Finn. Take your time." Rachel thought it was very cute that he tried talking to the baby. She does it all the time. Often she even sings to her little girl. Finn continued talking to his daughter.
"Look, I Know I haven't been there for you during your first months in your mommy's belly, but I promise I'll take care of you from now on. I didn't grow up with a father but I want to be there for you. I'll promise I'll be there for you. I promise I'll scare the monsters under your bed away. I'll keep boys away from you so you'll never get a heartbreak. I'll be there for your first words, your first steps, for everything. I only met you today but I already love you." He kissed his daughter once more before standing up again. He looked at Rachel and saw she was tearing up.
"Hey, don't cry. What's wrong?" he asked concerned.
"I'm not sad. I just love you so much. And what you said to our daughter was really, really cute." He laughed at her silliness.
"Don't laugh at me, Hudson. I'm very hormonal." She told him seriously.
"I'm not laughing at you. I think it's cute you tear up when you see me talking to our baby." He smiled taking her in his arms. She loved that he said 'our baby'.
"So how long until we get to meet our little princess?" he asked kissing her neck.
"Just a few more weeks until she's here. I can't wait to meet her."
"Me neither." They sat down together and talked about how they would tell his family.
