Thank you for the reviews of the last chapter. An idea similar to this was given in a review. I changed it up. Let me know what you think. Thank you so much for the positive reviews that were left. I'm glad that most of you are enjoying the story. I can't believe I managed another chapter. I don't know when the next one will be coming. Enjoy!

June 24th, 2015

Rachel was jealous. Finn had the day off while she was going to work. She wanted nothing more than to spend the day with Finn and Arabella.

Finn came up behind her as she as getting ready. He kissed her head as he wrapped his arms around her and said, "Good morning beautiful."

"Good morning. I want to stay home with you and Arie." Rachel couldn't help but pout.

"I'm sorry, baby. I'm going to take her to the toy store. I can't help it. I just want to spoil her. I still can't believe that she is still wearing that tiara."

"I'm surprised that you didn't see that coming. You call her princess. Now she feels like she really is the princess that you call her."

"I guess so. I wish you could stay home with us, but you are needed at work."

"I guess you are right. I'll be home at four. Be home by then. I want to have a family night in."

"That sounds perfect. I love you, Rach."

"I love you too, Finny."

Arabella came in the room and said, "Hi momma."

Rachel picked her up and said, "Good morning, baby. Have a good day with daddy today. I can't wait to see you later today. I wish I got to stay home with the two of you today."

"It's okay. I still love you."

Rachel and Finn both laughed at her.

Finn asked, "Are you ready to go, princess?"

"Yeah! Cindy is ready too, daddy."

Finn laughed and said, "Then let's get going. We have some things we are going to do today and I think you are going to enjoy it. We are going to have so much fun today."

Rachel called after them, "Don't have too much fun. Tell Noah I said hello. Give Beth a hug for me."

Finn and Arabella were at the toy store. The first thing that Arabella wanted to see was the stuffed animals. Finn was looking at one of the animals on the top shelf. He got it and said, "Arie, look at this one." He didn't get a reply. He looked around him and Arabella was gone!

All Finn could think about was someone had taken his little girl or she had taken the escalator and tumbled to her doom. To say that he was freaking out was an understatement. He started calling for her, "Arie! Arie! Arabella! Arabella!" He wasn't hearing anything that sounded like her over all the other children in the store.

Finn was stopping anyone he came in contact. He asked, "Have you seen a little girl with brown hair and brown eyes wearing a tiara?" Everyone shook their heads. He didn't know what he was going to do without his little girl. He knew Rachel was going to kill him when she found out.

Finn turned down the Disney aisle. He found Arabella on her tiptoes trying to reach the Cinderella dress up set. Finn went running to her. She looked up and said, "Daddy! Look what I found! Isn't it cool?"

He picked her up and kissed her cheek. He said, "Arabella Faith, don't ever leave daddy again. We are in a big place. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. You are my little princess. You scared me."

"Sorry, daddy."

"It's okay. I thought I lost you."

"I'm here."

Finn chuckled. "Yes you are. The next time you want to see something let me know and I'll come with you."

"Okay."

"Let's look at some things and then we have to meet Uncle Noah and Beth for lunch."

"Yay!"

"What do you say we get this dress up kit? Maybe I can be your prince."

"Silly. You are daddy."

"Daddies can be princes, can't they?"

"I guess." Finn laughed as he picked up the dress up kit and took Arabella's hand. He wasn't about to lose her again. Though she was only gone for five minutes it was the longest five minutes of his life.

Finn and Puck had taken the kids to an arcade for lunch and to have a little fun before they had to head back to the apartment. Finn was keeping a close eye on Arabella. He wasn't about to have what happened earlier happen again.

Puck laughed after he heard the story. "You have to be kidding me. You lost your kid. You would be the guy to misplace his kid."

"She was there and then she was gone. I was terrified."

"Rachel would have killed you. Heck, she is still going to kill you when she finds out about this."

"That is why the two of us are not going to tell her. We are going to forget that this happened."

"Good luck with that. I won't tell her, but eventually it's going to come out."

"I just hope not any time soon."

"Here's hoping that that works out for you. Do you realize that Beth and Arie are like we were as kids? Beth is causing the trouble and Arie is just going along with it."

Finn chuckled. "That is just like we were."

Finn and Puck sat there watching their kids play together and thinking back to all the time they spent together as kids.

Finn walked into the apartment with Arabella in his arms. She was singing and laughing. It was the little things that Rachel and Finn loved the most about their little girl.

Rachel said, "There are my favorites. I was hoping you would get home soon. I missed the two of you so much today."

Arabella told her, "Daddy got me a princess dress to go with my tiara!"

Rachel smiled. "Go put it on. I want to see it!"

Arabella jumped out of Finn's arms and went running to her room. Rachel walked over and said, "Hello babe. I guess you had an interesting day."

"When do we not have an interesting day? Arie keeps everything interesting. Then when you toss in Beth and Puck it is sure to be that way. Beth is just like Puck and Arabella is just like me. I can see the two of them getting into some trouble."

Rachel chuckled. "Oh help us all."

Arabella came in the living room. She spun around and said, "Look! I'm a real princess!"

Finn smiled and said, "You are the prettiest princess of them all."

Arabella went over to Rachel and told her, "I love Cindyella."

Rachel smiled. "I know. She's your favorite."

"I saw a girl with a Cindyella doll like mine. I went to find it. Daddy couldn't find me and I made him sad, but he found me so it's okay now."

Finn wanted to face palm so bad. Rachel didn't seem phased until she said, "Why don't you go to your room and play with Cindy. I need to talk to your daddy."

Finn knew something was coming.

Arabella went to play in her room. Rachel looked at Finn and harshly whispered, "You lost our daughter in the toy store?"

"Aww… Rach, come on. It was for a couple of minutes. I found her and she is fine. She is happy. She didn't even realize that she was missing."

"Finn Hudson! That doesn't matter. She is a little girl. She is only three and a half. Something terrible could have happened to her. She is so tiny and she doesn't know a stranger. She is so open-minded. She would have walked off with anyone that offered her something Disney or princess related."

"Rachel! She is in her room playing with her doll. She is fine."

"She may be fine, but something could have happened to her. You could have lost my baby."

"Hold it right there. She isn't just your baby. She is my baby, too. I know you are upset, but no one is perfect. I made a mistake. If I think clearly you made a mistake about four years ago by not telling me that you were pregnant."

Rachel burst into tears. "I have apologized up and down for that."

"Like I have been apologizing for letting Arabella out of my sight for such a short time. You know that she is always on the move and does what she wants to do. You can't stop her most of the time for running off to do what she wants to do most. I'm trying here. I'm sorry that I lost her for a couple of minutes, but I found her."

"This isn't something that you can just get over."

"Not knowing about your daughter for the first three years of her life isn't something that you can get over either. I have tried."

Rachel had tears streaming down her face. Finn was just getting more and more upset. He said, "I'm going over to Puck's. I don't know when I'll be back."

"You can't leave us! We are married! You can't just run away."

"I'm not leaving. I just can't deal with this right now. I don't want anything else upsetting to be said between the two of us, so I'm doing us both a favor by leaving the situation before it gets worse."

Finn didn't know why he did next. He walked over and kissed her head in hopes of letting her know that things would be okay eventually. Then he walked out the door to go to Puck's. He didn't know when he would come back, but there was no doubt that he would.

Rachel walked into Arabella's room and tried to put on a happy face. She said, "Hey sweetheart. It's time to get you ready for bed. What do you think about sleeping in mommy's big bed with her tonight?"

"Where daddy?"

"Daddy went to Uncle Noah's."

"Gonna come back?"

"He'll be back. I just don't know when."

"Was I bad girl and make him leave?"

"No, baby. It wasn't you at all. Mommy and daddy said some mean things to each other and we just need some time to cool off."

"Daddy in time out?"

Rachel chuckled. "No. He went to cool off. Everything is going to be okay, sweetheart. Let's get ready for bed."

Rachel and Arabella took a bath and climbed into Rachel and Finn's bed. Rachel held Arabella and silently cried herself to sleep.

After spending a couple of hours talking to Puck, Finn fell asleep on his couch thinking of no one else but Rachel and Arabella in the next apartment over.
