Thank you so much for sticking with this story. This is the last chapter before the epilogue. I hope you enjoy it. I may come back at some point and make a sequel. Also, I have the first chapter written for a Monchele story. If anyone has any ideas of what they would like to see in a story let me know and I'll see where it can be added into a story. I really miss writing. Thank you so much for all your support for all of my stories. You all are amazing!

Finn and Rachel were waiting in the waiting room to be called back to see the doctor. Rachel was still sick and Finn was worried about her.
Rachel was laying her head on Finn's shoulder as he ran his fingers through her hair to calm her down. Finn was ready to take care of her no matter what they found was going on with her. She was his world, along with Arabella. He wanted to do anything and everything that he could for the two of them to make them happy.
Finn and Rachel came out of the doctor's office. Finn said, "You know, I was beginning to think you were pregnant."
"I was kind of as well."
"It's only the flu. I'm a little disappointed."
"You can't say it's only the flu. I have never been this sick in my life. I wasn't even this sick when I had morning sickness with Arabella."
"I didn't mean it like that. I'm kind of sad that you aren't pregnant."
"I was at first, but I really don't think that it's time to be having another baby. I really want to wait until Arabella starts school. Then she will be older and be able to understand it. She will also be able to help more. I think she will be happier with everything when she is older. Right now she is still getting to know you. I don't want her to believe that you are replacing her."
"I would never do that."
"I know that. She doesn't. She is so young."
"I guess you are right."
"Finn, we are going to have more kids, I promise you. I just want some time for the three of us before we got and add onto our family even more. We need some time for the three of us. Arabella needs to have some time with you since I messed everything up earlier in her life."
"We are together now and that is what matters. I'll wait as long as you want to. Just knowing that we are going to have a bigger family makes me happy. Let's go to the pharmacy and get your medicine, then we will get you home to rest. Arie has been so worried about you the last couple of days."
"I'm sorry I have put everything off on you. I don't mean to do that. I just can't help it."
"You are sick. We are a team now. I'm here to help in any way that I can."
"That's why I love you and I am so lucky to have you in my life. I don't know what I would do without you."
"Then it's a good thing you don't have to find out, huh?"
Rachel leaned over and kissed Finn on the cheek. She really was glad to have him in her life.
Rachel and Finn walked back in their apartment. Arabella came running over and asked, "Momma okay now?"
Rachel smiled at her caring little girl. She told her, "Momma is fine. Mommy has the flu. I'm going to be home the next couple of days, but then I'll be all better. Thank you for checking on me, sweetheart. I love you."
"Love you, momma!"
Finn said, "Hey! What about daddy? Can he get some love from his two favorite girls?"
Arabella giggled and held out her arms to Finn. He picked her up and held her. He said, "It's time for mommy to go lay down for a while. Why don't we all take a family nap? Then when we wake up we can watch a movie and relax."
Rachel smiled and told him, "I love that idea. Are you up for Arie?" She smiled and nodded at her parents.
Leroy came over and kissed Rachel on the head. He said, "I'm glad you are okay, little star. I was worried about you."
"I'm fine, daddy. Thank you for taking care of Arabella for us. I really appreciate all you have done for us in the last couple of days."
"That is what family is for. You took care of me after my accident. It was my turn to return the favor. Not to mention you are my little girl and I would do anything to make you feel better. I'm going to head over to my place. Call me if you need anything. I'll be here in a heartbeat."
They said goodbye and Leroy left to go back to his apartment.
Rachel woke up to find that Finn and Arabella were still asleep next to her. She smiled and kissed each of their heads. Finn woke up. Rachel quieted him. She said, "We are pretty lucky. We have the most beautiful daughter in the world and we have each other. I'm sorry I just left all those years ago. I didn't know what else to do. I'm so glad you forgave me."
"Rach, I love you. That isn't a secret and it never has been. You are all things perfect and wonderful in my life. I can't picture my life without you."
Rachel leaned over and kissed him, "You are wonderful. I don't deserve you."
"I can't lie. It hurt when you left. I mean you were just gone. I didn't know what to do with myself."
"I'm never leaving again unless you are with me." The two of them smiled down at their little girl and stayed there. They may have been apart for quite some time, but it was like they were never apart. They were the family they were always meant to be now. They were never going to allow anything to get in their way no matter what it was.
Their life was officially perfect and just the way that they had planned for it to be all those years ago. They were determined to take care of their little angel and add to their family in the foreseeable future. It was just the way it was meant to be.
