June 14th, 2015

It was the day that had been a long time coming. Finn and Rachel were going to get married and it was the day. Rachel couldn't have been happier if she tried. Arabella was excited that she got to wear a pretty pink dress and throw flowers everywhere without getting into trouble. Finn was just happy that the girls were going to be true Hudsons now. It was going to be a great day. They were all sure of it.

Rachel was sitting in her room. She had just gotten into her dress and she felt like the luckiest and most beautiful girl in the world. She was still nervous to see all the new directions members. She had won over Puck, but she wasn't sure how the others would fell, especially the girls of the group.

Arabella came skipping in the room and said, "Mommy, you look like princess!"

Rachel chuckled. "Thanks, baby. You look so pretty. Are you happy about today?"

"Yeah! Don't want you to go."

"Oh, honey. It is only for a couple of days. Daddy and I will be back before you know it. You get to spend time with nana, pops and pop pop. They will be good to you. I'm sure they will spoil you lots. And you know that daddy and I are going to bring you presents."

"Pwesents?"

Rachel laughed. "If we get a good report from your grandparents you will get presents. If we don't daddy and I will keep them."

Arabella gasped. "No!"

"Then you better be good."

"I be good."

Rachel smiled. "That's my girl."

Leroy came in and said, "How are my two favorite girls doing? I can't believe the Berry line is ending today. You were meant to be a Hudson, though. Both of you were."

Rachel sniffled. "Thanks, daddy. How do I look?"

"You look like a princess."

Arabella asked, "How I look?"

Leroy picked her up and said, "You are the most beautiful little flower girl I have ever seen. You are going steal the show."

"Steewing is bad pop pop. Momma says so."

Leroy chuckled. "That is very true. You are so smart, princess."

"Tanks."

Carole popped her head in and asked, "How are things going in here? Finn is chomping at the bit to see the two of you and finally share his name with you. He is really nervous. I think he is afraid that you are going to change your mind."

Rachel looked up with her eyes wide open. "I would never do that to him again. I would never do that to Arie. Let's go. I want to see him. I want to start our lives together finally. I just can't wait any longer."

Leroy took Rachel's arm in his. Carole to Arabella's hand and led her out of the room. They had a short distance to go to get to the park, but they were ready. They were all ready. It was time for them to become a family.

Finn was standing at the end of the makeshift aisle with Puck next to him and Kurt was waiting for Rachel on the other side. Finn looked up to see Arabella come walking down the aisle. She was tossing her flowers and looking absolutely adorable. She looked up to see him and she waved and exclaimed, "Hi daddy!" He along with the small group of people that had come to share the day with them chuckled at the little girl. He waved at her and held his finger up to his lip as he watched her smile as she made her way towards Carole where she was going to sit during the ceremony.

Finn lost his breath when he saw Rachel. She was beautiful. She was always beautiful, but there was just something about her that day. It had to have been the fact that he knew she was about to become his wife. He felt like he was floating on air as he watched her walk down the aisle in his direction. He even had a few tears falling from his eyes. It was really happening. What he had wanted for as long as he could remember was finally a reality. Finn took Rachel's arm from Leroy and they stepped up in front of the minister.

Finn and Rachel were walking down the aisle as man and wife. They quickly stopped in front of Carole and took Arabella out of her arms. They didn't want to walk down the aisle as just man and wife, but more like a family, so that is what they did.

Rachel kissed the head of sleeping Arabella. Finn smiled at her and said, "We did it. We really did it. We are finally a family."

Rachel smiled and said, "We are. We are the Hudsons."

"We are and always will be. We'll never be apart after this. Rach, I'm the happiest man in the world. All because of you and Arabella."

"You make us happy too, Finn."

"Let's get to the party. We have to celebrate because we are so awesome."

Rachel laughed. She took Arabella out of Finn's arms and said, "Wake up, sunshine. Mommy and daddy are married."

Arabella smiled and hugged Rachel. "Party now?"

Finn laughed and said, "That's my girl. We are going to party and you are going to meet more people. We are going to have a good day."

Finn and Rachel walked into the tent that had been set up in the park. Arabella was holding onto Finn as everyone cheered for them. Arabella whispered in Finn's ear, "I scawed daddy."

Finn asked, "Why baby?"

"Too many stwangers."

"It's okay. They are all people mommy and I know. We won't let anything happen to you. You will always be with me, mommy, nana, pops or pop pop. We won't let anyone hurt you. I daddy promise."

Arabella smiled and kissed his cheek. Rachel looked up and said, "I love the two of you so much. I mommy promise that everything is going to be okay, princess."

Finn said, "Let's go talk to people."

The first people they found were Mr. Shue and Miss. Pillsbury. Finn held Arabella close to his side as they three of them walked over to their former teacher and school counselor.

Rachel said, "I'm so glad the two of you could make it. I always pictured a wedding with the two of you present. I wouldn't want it any other way."

Finn told them, "Rach is right. I'm glad the two of you could make the trip."

Mr. Shue replied, "We wouldn't have missed it for the world. We expect the two of you to be at our wedding if it is all possible. We are finally getting married on Christmas break."

"That is great, guys. I'm so happy for you."

Emma asked, "Who is this little cutie?"

Finn said, "Arabella, can you say hi to Will and Emma? They are very nice people."

Arabella bashfully waved at the two adults. "Hi."

Will said, "You look just like your mommy."

"Tanks."

Emma told Rachel, "She is a doll, Rachel."

Rachel replied, "Thank you. We have had our tough times, but it has always been me and my girl. We are just happy to have Finn with us now and forever."

"Congratulations to the two of you. We will let the two of you go talk to your other guests. They are waiting for you."

Finn and Rachel said goodbye and went off to talk to their other guests.

Next, Finn and Rachel came upon Mercedes and Sam. Sam said, "Congrats guys. This has been a long time coming. I'm glad to see you can be together as a family now."

Rachel smiled and said, "Thank you. I was a little worried about seeing all of you today."

Mercedes stepped up and took the tiny brunette in her arms. "Oh little momma. Why in the world would you be nervous about seeing us?"

"I just left. I didn't know what else to do. I was scared and pregnant. I didn't know what all of you would do and react to it."

"Oh honey. We would have helped you. I would have been right there for you. You shouldn't have had to go through this all alone. You and Finn should have had each other and this little angel all along."

Finn said, "Thanks, guys. We would like you to meet Arabella Faith."

Sam did his best impression of Scooby Doo. Arabella laughed and said, "He funny."

"Yes he is, sweetheart. Can you say hi to Sam and Mercedes."

"Hi Sam and Cedes."

All the adults chuckled.

Artie came over to the group and said, "Hello Hudsons!"

Rachel smiled. "Hello Artie. Thank you for coming."

"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't have missed this if the world was ending. I had to meet the tiniest Hudson."

Finn said, "Here she is. Arabella, this is Artie."

Arabella said, "He has wheels!"

Rachel gasped. "Arabella Faith, that is not something you say."

Artie chuckled and told her, "I have heard a lot worse Rach. She is fine." Artie went on to say to Arabella, "That's just because I am a super hero."

Arabella gasped and smiled. "Cool." All the adults laughed.

Finn said, "I hate to go, but we have some more people to talk to. We will see all of you in a little bit. I hope you are having a good time."

Kurt and Blaine were standing there talking to Puck and Beth. Arabella went running off with Beth. Puck went to keep an eye on the pair. Rachel hugged Kurt and said, "Thank you for planning today. It has been perfect."

Kurt told her, "Only the best for you and my brother. Welcome to the family, Rach."

"Thank you. I really am sorry about the past."

Finn wrapped his arm around his tiny wife and said, "That's the thing, babe. It is the past. This is our now." Rachel got up on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his lips."

Blaine told them, "The two of you are meant for each other. You make the perfect little family that there has ever been."

Rachel smiled. "Thank you, Blaine."

Santana and Brittany came over to the little group. Santana said, "So now you marry him and let him have a part in the life of his daughter?"

Rachel gasped. If she didn't feel bad enough, here was Santana to really make things worse. She sniffled and said, "I know what I did was wrong. I didn't think before I acted. I was scared. I didn't know what else to do."

Finn held Rachel close and said, "Santana, that is inappropriate. You don't know the whole story. This is something that Rachel and I have dealt with. I forgive her. I want to be with her for the rest of my life and I get to know my little girl. I don't need your approval."

"She left you! She didn't tell you that you were a dad until four years later!"

Rachel exclaimed, "I was threatened! I left to protect Arabella. I left so I would have a little girl. I wanted to keep her and take care of her. Someone threatened her life and ruining what Finn and I had. I went ahead and left to protect my daughter that wasn't even born yet. I wasn't going to let anyone hurt her."

Santana was silent. Brittany stepped up and said, "You are a good mommy, Rachel."

Rachel sniffled and said, "Thank you. If you will excuse me I am going to go hug my daughter."

Santana was now furious for another reason. She asked Finn, "Why didn't she tell us that someone wanted to hurt her and the munchkin?"

"She thought none of us would believe her. She just did what she felt she had to do to protect our daughter and I am proud of her for that. I would have believed her but she had that whole pregnancy brain and emotions thing going on. She just wanted to make sure that Arabella was safe."

"Wow. I didn't know that."

"No one did."

"Who did it?"

"Quinn."

"That's why she isn't here."

"Like I would have invited her anyway. But she is the reason Rachel left me in the first place and I didn't get to know Arie from the very beginning."

"I'm going to go apologize to Rachel."

"I think that would be a good thing for you to do."

After Santana apologized to Rachel, the real party began. Finn and Rachel had their first dance as husband and wife. Then they had their first dance as a family. It was everything they had imagined it would be and more. After the little thing between Rachel and Santana everything was perfect and stayed that way. The whole group of old friends and family had time to celebrate the union of Finn and Rachel.

Then Finn and Rachel drove off to the hotel they were spending the night in before leaving the next morning for Florida. Neither of them wanted to leave Arabella, but they knew she was perfectly safe with her grandparents. The two of them needed some time to themselves and to get even more acquainted with each other.
