Yet again I have been submersed in my work for school. This is the only chance I have had to get to write. It was quick, but I hope it still lives up to your expectations. I would love to hear what you think and any ideas if you have them. This story may be coming to an end if I can't come up with more ideas. Thank you for reading!

June 15th, 2015

Finn and Rachel landed in Florida. Rachel looked out the window and the first thing she saw was palm trees. She gasped and said, "It is so beautiful here. I wish Arabella was here to share this with us."

Finn took Rachel's hand and told her, "I'm going to stop you right there. I miss Arie too, but this week is for us. The two of us need to have some adult time together. She is perfectly safe with mom, Burt and your dad. Puck is going to bring Beth over for a while. She is hardly going to miss us. We can call her each night before she goes to bed. I just want a little time to have you to myself."

Rachel kissed his cheek. "Baby, I am yours. I will always be yours, but I will always be hers, too. It has been the two of us for quite some time and it is so hard to be away from my little girl."

"Rach, just because you are a mom doesn't mean that you can't have fun. We are going to have a good time. We will be back to Arabella before you know it. I just want some time with my beautiful wife. I love our little princess, but it will be nice to have some time for the two of us. We'll get her something and as soon as we get home we'll have a family day before we go back to work."

Rachel sniffled. "It's just so hard."

"Oh, babe. Let's get off the plane and get this honeymoon started. I'm going to treat you to the trip of you life. We can see what we like and see what we want to do when we bring Arie back to Florida someday."

Rachel kissed his cheek. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Finn took her hand and they got off the plane. Finn was determined for Rachel to have a good and relaxing trip. He was going to do everything that he possibly could to insure that it happened.


Arabella was running about the apartment. Carole and Burt had forgotten what it was like to deal with a young child, but they were looking forward to the week with their granddaughter. They couldn't wait to get to know her even more.

Arabella came over and tugged on Carole's pant leg. She looked down and said, "What do you need, sweetheart? Pops and I are finishing your breakfast."

"When is mommy and daddy coming back?"

"Honey, they will be back before you know it. Your pops and I are going to make sure that you have all kinds of fun. We are going to spoil you."

Arabella sniffled and said, "I want mommy."

Burt came over and picked her up. He kissed her head and said, "Hey. Princesses aren't supposed to be sad. We are going to have fun. Mommy and daddy will be calling you later. I know you miss them and they miss you, too. They will be back soon."

"I want mommy. Daddy took her."

Carole came over and took her in her arms, "Oh, honey. Your mommy and daddy needed some big people time. That doesn't mean they love you any less. They will be home soon just like you want them to be."

Arabella pouted as the tears started falling. Burt and Carole sat down in the living room with her trying to ease her, but nothing was working. They wanted to do whatever they could before they had to call Finn and Rachel. The two of them deserved a week to themselves to get reacquainted without any worries.

Carole could only think of calling one person.


Puck was out with Beth for the day. He was so glad that he had made the decision to come with Finn. Both of them had the family that they wanted and that was how it was going to stay. He wasn't going to let anything happen to his little girl and we felt the same way about Finn and Rachel's little girl as well.

Puck was pushing Beth on the swings at the park when his phone started to ring. He picked up and answered, "Hello?"

Carole was on the other end. She said, "Oh Noah. I'm so glad that you picked up."

"What's up, Ms. Carole?"

"Burt and I are having some problems with Arabella. She isn't comfortable with us and she misses some certain people."

"Okay. I'll be there in a few. I'll have Beth with me. That should keep her occupied for a while. Don't take it as something against you. Arie is super close to Rach."

"Thank you for the vote of confidence, Noah. We will see you in a little while."

Puck picked up Beth and said, "Hey munchkin. Do you want to go see your friend, Arabella? She's sad. I think she needs some Beth in her life to make her happy."

Beth said, "I don't want Arie sad."

"Then let's go make her happy." Puck took Beth's hand and they made their way back to the apartment building.


Rachel and Finn were relaxing on the beach. Rachel felt wrong for enjoying her childless time as much as she was. She loved her little girl, but it was nice to just have some time alone with Finn.

Finn sat next to her and kissed her on the lips. He said, "I am so glad to see that smile on your face, babe."

"I'm having such a wonderful time, Finn. I couldn't have married anyone more perfect than you are."

"You are crazy, Rach. I'm the lucky one that gets to call you mine. I didn't think it was going to happen."

"I'm sorry that I go into momma mode so much."

"That is not anything to be sorry for. You are a mom. A wonderful one at that. Arie is lucky to have you as her mom. So will any other kids that we may have some day."

"Do you want more kids?"

Finn smiled. "Yeah. I mean if you want more kids. I don't want you to feel like we have to have more kids. I mean our kids are adorable and pretty perfect. Why not have more than one to share with the world."

Rachel chuckled. "You are such a proud daddy. I have always wanted to have at least two kids. I hated being an only child. I want Arie to have someone to play with."

"It isn't always going to be sunshine, Rach."

"I know. I can't help it. I just can't see us with less than two kids. I love Arabella more than life itself, but I would also love another child too."

Finn kissed her head. "Sounds like the Hudsons are going to have a family of at least four."

Rachel smiled up at him and kissed his him full on the lips. She knew she loved Finn Hudson for a reason and he always showed her.


The day went much faster than Burt and Carole had expected. Arabella finally showed that she was getting closer to them. She was snuggled up on Burt's chest.

Carole was getting the things they would need to put Arabella to bed, but she didn't want to put her to bed until Finn and Rachel called.

Carole had pajamas laid out for Arabella. She was getting ready to go get her from Burt so she could take a bath when the phone rang. Carole picked up, "Hello. Hudson residence."

Finn said, "hey mom. How is our little princess?"

"She has missed her mommy and daddy, but she is fine. She had a rough morning, but then Noah and Beth came and saved the day. She is snuggled up with Burt in your chair watching The Little Mermaid. I was getting ready to give her a bath and get her ready for bed. How is Florida?"

"It is beautiful. We already have a few things for Arie. Rach and I are both missing her. The next four days are going to either go really fast or really slow."

"Hey. Just remember it is okay for the two of you to have a break. That is why there are grandparents. I'll go give her the phone."

Carole walked in the living room and said, "Arie, there are some people on the phone for you."

Arabella took the phone and said, "Hi!"

Finn and Rachel both chuckled over the phone. Finn said, "Hey baby girl."

Rachel said, "Hey princess. Are you being good for nana and pops? Remember you don't get presents if you aren't a good girl."

"I be good. I miss you, momma."

Finn said, "Hey! What about daddy? Do you miss daddy because he sure does miss his little princess."

"Miss you!"

Rachel asked, "What did you do today?"

"Beth play with me. Noah is silly."

"He is silly, isn't he? What did you and Beth play?"

"We played Barbies!"

"Oh. Fun!"

Finn said, "Baby, it's time for you to go to bed. Momma and I will call you tomorrow before you go to bed. I'm sure if you ask nice nana or pops will read you a bedtime story."

Arabella sniffled. "I want momma to do it."

Rachel sniffled herself and said, "Oh honey. Mommy isn't home right now. It won't be too much longer. You are going to have so much fun tomorrow. You will still get to talk to us. I love you so much. I don't want you to be sad. I miss you so much."

"Momma, miss you."

Finn said, "Princess, we will be home soon."

"Want you now."

"Oh Arie Bellie."

Arabella was in tears now as she clung to Burt as she held the phone. The older man kissed her head. Rachel said, "Good night, darling. Sleep well. The sooner you sleep and the better you are the sooner daddy and I will get home."

"I go to bed now. I want you home!"

"We love you, Arabella."

"Love you!" Finn and Rachel hung up. Arabella ran to Carole and held onto the woman as she cried for her mom and dad to come home to her.

Finn and Rachel were glad to be in their honeymoon, but to hear just how sad Arabella was broke their hearts. They just wanted her to be as happy as they were. They would do anything for their little girl.
