Thank you for reading those of you still reading. Sorry for the wait. I'm losing motivation for this story and the semester is coming to an end making it hard to find time to write. Thank you for the support. I hope you will leave ideas and your thoughts on the chapter. Enjoy!

June 20th, 2015

Rachel was practically bouncing in her seat as they announced over the intercom on the plane that they were making their desent onto the New York airport runway. She had loved having time for just her and Finn, but she had missed her little girl more than anything in the world. Going from not spending a night away from her, to spending five nights from her was no easy task.

Finn chuckled as he put his hand on her knee. He said, "Baby, if I didn't miss her so much I would be a little hurt by how ready you are to get rid of me."

Rachel looked up at him with a hurt expression. "I'm not getting rid of you. We are going to be a family. It is going to be the three of us like it should have been from the start. I had never spent a night away from her. Going from no nights to five was hard. I love you so much, but I have missed my baby girl."

Finn kissed her head. "Honey, I know. I missed her, too. I love you so much and I don't know what I would do without you or Arabella. I can't wait to see her."

"Neither can I. I'm glad that the last couple of days she didn't cry on the phone to us. Those first couple of nights hurt so bad because I was the one causing her to cry and I couldn't make it better."

"Well, we will see her in a matter of minutes. We're going to push everyone else out of the way to be the first ones off the plane so that we can get to our little girl." Rachel chuckled and kissed him. She knew why she loved him so much.

Arabella was spinning in circles and laughing with Beth as they waited for Finn and Rachel's flight. Carole and Burt were chuckling as they watched the two. Puck stood off to the side smiling. Carole said, "Noah, your little girl is precious. Arie loves her. They are the perfect little friends."

"Beth loves her. She doesn't even care that she is two years older than her. I mean it isn't a lot, but it's a difference. Arie isn't such a bad kid. I thought she would be as crazy as Berry, but she's pretty chill for the most part."

Burt laughed. Carole exclaimed, "Noah! That's my daughter in law that you are talking about."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Carole, but you know it's true. Rachel is her own kind of crazy, but that is what makes her who she is."

They looked over when Arabella exclaimed, "Momma!" Arabella went running as soon as she saw her parents. The adults just laughed at the picture that played out in front of them. Beth jumped her in father's arms.

Rachel and Finn were walking around the corner from their gate when they heard, "Momma!" Rachel smiled. She knew that tiny, but perfect voice. She squatted where she was and waited for the little body that would be coming her way.

Rachel wrapped her arms around Arabella as soon as she was in her arms. She kissed her face more times than she could count and said, "Hey baby girl. I missed you so much. I missed you so very much."

Arabella stuck out her bottom lip and said, "Don't leave me."

"Oh honey. We aren't going to leave you for a long time. If we go anywhere again you are going to be with us. We missed you way too much. But you got to have a lot of fun with Noah, Beth, nana, pops and pop pop."

"I wanted you."

Finn asked, "What about me?"

"You took momma away. You're not my favorite anymore."

Rachel said, "Arabella Faith! Don't talk to daddy like that. He missed you just as much as mommy did. We had big people things to talk about and do. We couldn't take you with us."

Finn didn't know what to do. He knew Rachel and Arabella had a bond, but he didn't think it would be this hard to get to part of things. Finn rubbed the back of his neck. He really wanted to crawl in a hole and cry. He said, "Umm… I'm going to go get our bags. I'll see you over by everyone else."

Rachel tried to stop him, "Finn…"

"No, it's okay. I'll meet you over by mom and Burt." Finn didn't even kiss her cheek or anything. Rachel knew he was upset.

Rachel took Arabella over to a bench. She sat her down on her lap and said, "We are going to have a big girl talk."

Arabella just nodded. She only got big girl talks when she was in trouble.

Rachel said, "What you said to daddy hurt his feelings. You know that we don't say mean things to people."

"He took mommy."

"He didn't take me."

"You won't love me."

"Oh, baby. You are mommy's little girl. I will ALWAYS love you. That isn't going to change. You are going to have even more love now that daddy is with us. He was the one that picked out all the presents that we got for you. I don't know if you should get presents now. Hurting people's feelings is mean and we don't want to be mean, do we?"

Arabella lowered her head and shook it no.

Rachel asked, "So, what do you need to do?"

"Tell daddy sorry and hug him big."

Rachel smiled and said, "That's mommy's smart and nice little girl. Lets go see daddy you owe him big hugs and some kisses."

Rachel and Arabella stood up. Rachel took Arabella's hand and they walked over to Burt, Carole, Puck and Beth.

Finn hugged his mom and Burt. He was talking to Puck and they could tell that something was off. He wasn't as happy as they had expected him to be after a week with his new bride. They were about to ask him what was wrong when Rachel walked over to the group holding Arabella's hand. Rachel said, "Finn, someone has something to say to you."

Arabella held her arms up for him to pick her up. He picked her up. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. She said, "Sorry, daddy. I was mean. Mean people aren't good people. You didn't take mommy. I missed you. I sorry. I hope you still love me."

Finn kissed her face and said, "Princess, I will always love you. You are my little girl. I'm sorry we made you sad, but you wouldn't have had fun while we were doing big people things. Mommy and I will take you on a trip where we do fun stuff that you will like. We got you presents that I think you will like."

Arabella said, "I was a bad girl. Mommy said no presents if I was a bad girl."

Finn hugged her tight and told her, "But you apologized and I forgive you. That is what a good girl does so I think it's okay for you to have your presents we got you. Mommy and I will give them to you when we get home."

"I love you, daddy."

"I love you too, Arie Bellie."

Rachel said, "Lets go get something to eat. I'm starving."

Everyone else agreed and they were off to eat.

Finn, Rachel and Arabella got home after going to see Hiram. It was the first time they were entering their apartment as the true family that they were. They sat down in the living room. Arabella had been cringing to Finn as if he was going to leave her.

Finn said, "I think it is time for the little princess to get her presents."

Arabella snuggled into his side as Rachel got the things they got for her from their bag.

Rachel came back and asked, "Who is your favorite princess?"

Arabella smiled and said, "Cindyella!"

Finn and Rachel chuckled. Finn said, "I thought so. Look what mommy has." Rachel handed her a stuffed doll that looked like Cinderella.

Arabella took it and squeezed her to her chest. She said, "Thank you, mommy. Thank you, daddy."

Finn reached in the bag and said, "There is something else in here for you." Finn got a small tiara out of the bag.

Arabella gasped and said, "Now I'm really a princess."

Finn and Rachel smiled as they watched her play. It was just what they wanted to see. She was happy.

Rachel said, "It's time for all princesses to go to bed."

Arabella looked up at her and asked, "Can I wear my tiara to bed?"

Finn laughed and said, "I don't know. We don't want it to break."

"Please. Pretty please with lots of sugar and lollipops on top."

Finn and Rachel looked at each other. Finn told Rachel, "I don't think we can fight that, Rach."

"Okay. You can wear it to bed. We need to get you in your pajamas." Arabella followed Rachel to her bedroom so she could help her change into her pajamas and get everything else ready for bed.

Finn and Rachel read Cinderella to Arabella and tucked her in bed before going to bed themselves.
