Thank you for still reading those of you who are still waiting out this story. This chapter took me forever to write. I am running out of ideas. Some of the ideas came from past reviews. Thank you whoever left them. :) This story will probably be coming to an end soon and hopefully I'll be able to come up with something. I'm lost when I'm not writing. Thank you for taking the time to read the chapter. Leave your thoughts and let me know what you think. I would love to make it to 30 chapters if possible. Enjoy!

September 14th, 2015

It was a big day for the Hudson's. Arabella's name change had finally gone into effect. They didn't know why it had taken so long, but Rachel and Finn were just happy to have her name be the rightful name it should have been all along.

When Finn woke up, he automatically went to Arabella's room. He swept her up in his arms and said, "Good morning, princess! It's official! You have the same name as mommy and daddy!"

Arabella rubbed her eyes and said, "I tired. Go to sleep."

Finn chuckled. She was his daughter alright. He kissed her cheek and said, "Come to bed with me and the three of us will sleep until you are ready to wake up. It's going to be Arabella Hudson's day."

Arabella smiled and snuggled into the crook of Finn's neck. Finn carried her back to the bedroom and climbed in bed with his two favorite girls after laying Arabella down next to Rachel.

Then he fell asleep again without any problems just knowing he was in bed with his girls.

Finn woke up to Rachel laughing. He looked at her and asked, "What is so funny?"

She smiled and said, "I should have known you would go into her room this morning to wake her up."

Finn asked, "What would make you think that I did that, Mrs. Hudson?"

"Because our daughter doesn't come into our bedroom in the middle of the night."

"How do you know she didn't have a nightmare? She could have been seeking the help from her loving parents to make her feel safe after something terrifying and you are here trying to blame me for going to get her early in the morning to come in with us."

Rachel laughed. "Just stop. I know you did it. I heard you talking to her. I know you are just so happy about the name change that you couldn't go without seeing her practically the moment it went into effect."

Finn lowered his head. "I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. She is finally a Hudson. Babe, that is huge!"

Rachel chuckled. "Just don't make this an all the time thing. Then she will never stay in her bedroom and we will never get any time to ourselves."

"You have a point. I just had to do it this one time."

Arabella started to squirm and said, "Daddy! Momma! I a Hudson!"

Finn and Rachel chuckled. Rachel said, "Yes you are. Now are three of us are! Just the way it should be. So, what are we going to do for Arabella Hudson day?"

Arabella looked like she was thinking. Then she said, "Party!"

Finn laughed. "A party? Who do you want at your party?"

"Nana. Pops. Pop Pop. Uncle Noah. Bethy. Uncle Kwurt. Uncle Baine."

Rachel acted hurt, "What about momma and daddy?"

"Momma and daddy, too! I fogot!"

Finn hugged her to his chest and said, "Princess, I don't think nana and pops can come. They live in Ohio, remember? That is a long way away to get here for a party. I don't know if Uncle Kurt and Uncle Blaine will be able to come either. They live where nana and pops do. They want to meet you, but I don't know if they can get off work."

Arabella hung her head. "We will still have a big day of all your favorite things. We'll play princess, watch movies, eat pizza and all kinds of fun things. Uncle Noah and Beth are going to come over. You love time with Beth."

Arabella just nodded and hugged her parents. Rachel said, "Let's go get you dressed for our special day."

Arabella asked, "I wear a dress?"

"Do you want to wear a dress?"

Arabella nodded. "Ink one!"

"A pink one! You have a lot of them to choose from. Let's see what we can find. Your daddy can get dressed and mommy will get dressed while daddy gets you some breakfast."

Finn and Rachel were sitting on the couch. They had both taken the day off to spend with Arabella for "her" day. They had done anything and everything that Arabella had wanted to do. They were waiting on Puck, Beth and Leroy to show up for their party.

Arabella was napping on Finn's chest. He looked at Rachel and asked, "When are we going to have another one?"

Rachel looked at him with questioning eyes, "Another one of what?"

"A baby. We make pretty amazing babies, Rach. I mean look at this little snuggler on my chest. I don't think you can get much cuter than that."

"Finn, we have our hands full with her and getting settled as a married couple. We have been married for only three months. We already had a built in family when we got married. I think the way things are going at the office and the way that things are going at station it isn't the right time to be adding another Hudson to the group. I want to have more babies with you. That isn't even a question. I'm just not ready yet. I kind of want to wait until Arie is at least four. We will have been married for a year and she will be in preschool. That will help me try to keep my sanity when it comes to raising two kids."

"Rach, I'm not leaving you. I will be here. That will never happen. You aren't alone in this. I will be there a hundred percent."

"I know that. I just don't think I could handle being pregnant right now. I was just so scared the last time. Some things went wrong and I just don't think I want to go through that right now. I want Arabella to be a little older and she will be able to help more with the baby. Then she will be happier with the new baby hopefully. She has been the only one for so long and I know she is used to having all attention on her all the time."

"She will be an amazing big sister."

"I know that. She would love the baby eventually, but I think she would understand more if she was older. Finn, it's just a year. I don't want this to upset you. I really don't want this to cause problems between us either."

Finn could see that she had really thought through everything. He kissed her head and said, "As long as you are saying that we will be having kids in the future I'm happy. I can see that you have really thought about this. I don't want to upset Arie. I know I'm going to be excited to have another baby with you no matter when that happens. We are going to be a big, happy family."

Rachel smiled up at him and kissed him on the lips. The doorbell rang. Rachel got up to go answer the door. Finn gently woke Arabella from her nap.

Rachel opened the door to see Burt and Carole. She smiled and hugged them each. She said, "It is such a surprise to see the two of you. We didn't know that the two of you were coming into town. We are having a little party for Arie because she is a Hudson. This morning we asked her who she wanted to see today and she said her nana and pops. When we told her that you lived far from here she was so sad."

Carole told her, "We remembered Finn saying that today it was official and we wanted to come see her. We wanted to see the two of you as well, of course. It has been so long since the wedding and we miss her. She is our only grandbaby."

Finn walked over with Arabella in his arms. Arabella exclaimed, "Nana! Pops!" She jumped out of Finn's arms to her grandparents.

Finn said, "We didn't know the two of you were coming to town."

Burt said, "We missed this little munchkin. We needed to see her. It doesn't hurt to see the two of you either."

Finn chuckled and said, "Gee… I see where we stand."

There was another knock on the door. Finn opened it to see Puck and Leroy. Rachel asked, "Hello Noah. Hello daddy."

Puck said, "Hey guys. I had to come see the newest Hudson. Shelby is supposed to bring Beth over later. They had an appointment. She is going to text me when they get here and I'll go get her. You don't have to see Shelby. I'll meet her in the hallway."

"Noah, its fine. She can drop her off here. I'm a big girl. I'll be okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay. We will all be here if you need someone."

"Thank you for that."

Leroy stepped up and hugged Rachel, "I'm so happy to see the woman you have grown to be. You are beautiful, intelligent and a wonderful mother."

"Thank you, daddy. I learned to be a parent from you. Everything I know came from you and dad. I always hoped you would be proud of me."

"We were always proud of you. I'm even more proud of you seeing the hardships you went through for your little girl to make sure that she had the best that you could give her. You are finally getting everything you deserve."

Carole asked, "When are the two of you going to give me more grandbabies? I'm addicted."

Finn smiled and said, "Not for a couple of years. We have some things to work out and figure out before adding to the family." Rachel was so glad that Finn spoke up so she didn't have to. She knew it would be taken better from him than her when it came to Carole.

The party was going. Arabella loved having all the attention on her. There was a soft knock on the door. Puck opened the door to see Shelby with Beth in her arms. He said, "Hey babe. Arie has been waiting on you to get here."

Shelby said, "Beth, be a good girl. Mommy needs to go. Daddy will bring you home later."

Rachel walked by the door and said, "Hello Shelby. You can come in if you would like."

"I don't want to impose. I heard today is a special day for all of you."

"It is. We have cake. Why don't you come in and have a piece. It isn't going to harm anyone."

"Are you sure? I don't want to upset anyone."

"Don't worry about that. We would like you to come in for a few minutes to at least have some cake."

Shelby came in the apartment. Rachel actually managed a smile as everyone watched them walk in the door. Arabella came over and tugged on Rachel's pant leg. She asked, "Momma, who dat? She look like you."

Rachel took a deep breath and picked the little girl up. She held her to her chest. She didn't lie to her. That was just something she didn't do. Rachel said, "She is someone that I used to know. This is Beth's mommy."

Arabella seemed satisfied with the answer. She went over to Shelby and said, "Hi! I Arabella Faith Berry."

Rachel said, "Silly girl. Remember what today is?"

"Arabella day?"

"But why?"

"I a Hudson!"

The adults laughed. Finn came over and swept her up in his arms and said, "Don't you forget it. So what is your name?"

"Arabella Faith Hudson!"

Rachel and Finn both hugged their little girl and kissed her head.

Shelby didn't stay much longer. She knew the way the adults felt about her and what she had done to Rachel. She knew better than to stay too long. She wanted all of them to have a good day and she didn't want to be the reason for that not to happen.

Everyone had a great day celebrating. They wished that Kurt and Blaine could have been with them, but they knew they couldn't give up their lives to be there. They were just happy to spend the day with as many loved ones as they had the chance to be with.
