Hey guys! So, I decided to give you the epilogue early because today I got an idea for my next Finchel story(: I'll give you more info on that in the author's note after this. I would like to thank all of you for sticking with this story and lasting through the horrible chapter 7 (which I was reading earlier and I realized how horrible it was). I love you all(: Anyways, here is the epilogue of It All Started With A Promise!

Rachel walked around the big hall, greeting people and thanking them for coming. A very pregnant Quinn walked with her. Rachel was happy. No, more than that. There wasn't even a word that could describe how she felt. Yesterday she had been Rachel Berry, but today, today she had become Rachel Hudson. Rachel Hudson. That had a nice ring to it.

"I'm gonna go find Puck," Quinn said. Rachel nodded and watched as her best friend waddled away to find her husband.

Sitting down at a table, she looked around the room. All her friends were there. Tina and Mike sat at a table with Santana and Brittany. Maia gushed over Tina and Mike's 5 month old twin boys, Daniel and Joseph. Across the room, Sam and Mercedes were catching up with Kurt and Blaine, who had a firm hold on their 5 year old, Orion. Artie was introducing his fiancée, Erin, to Will and Emma. Chloe and Ryan, who had admitted their love a month after the wedding fiasco last year, were sitting with a couple of Rachel's friends from when she lived in New York.

Rachel sighed and scanned the room once more, looking for her new husband.

"What's up, Diva?"

Rachel looked up to see Kurt standing there and wondered how he had crossed the room so quickly.

"Nothing, Kurt," she said, scanning the room again.

Kurt pulled out a chair and sat down next to her.

"I don't know where he went," Kurt said.

"He said we would right back, but it's been fifteen minutes," Rachel told him.

"He's probably just saying hi to everyone, like you were just doing," he suggested.

Rachel was about to reply when they heard the sound of somebody tapping on a microphone.

"Can I get everybody's attention, please?"

Rachel looked up at the stage to see Finn standing there, microphone in hand. Everybody went silent. Rachel sat up a little straighter, wondering what her husband was doing.

"Thanks," Finn said. "Uh, I'm Finn. Well, obviously, you know who I am if you're here," he laughed nervously. "I just have something I'd like to say before the first dance.

"Let me tell you the story of Rachel and I. We met in kindergarten, when we were just five years old," he laughed. "Rachel actually thought I was talking to her on Puck's orders," he motioned to Puck and everyone laughed. "Anyways, we were best friends. Did everything together. I don't remember anything that happened to me where she wasn't there," he paused, cleared his throat. "I've actually been in love with her since high school. Since our senior year." Rachel's eyes widened and some people started muttering.

"But I never told her. I mean, she was my best friend. You're not supposed to be in love with your best friend, I thought. That's why when I met Chloe, I felt relieved." Rachel glanced over at Chloe, who was smiling. She was glad there were no hard feelings between the two of them. "I was settling. And when I finally felt myself getting over Rachel, I was glad. Last year, when Rach told me she would be moving to New York, I was devastated. I didn't show it, but I was really sad to see her go. I didn't want her to go.

"That's when I realized I still loved her. I had never stopped." Kurt looked at Rachel, who had tears in her eyes. "When Rachel stopped the wedding and said she loved me, I was so happy. So excited. There's not a word that could describe how I felt.

"So," he looked at Rachel and smiled his signature smile. "I'd just like to say. I love you, baby doll. And I'm glad I get to call you my wife."

Everybody clapped and cheered as Finn handed the microphone to Puck, who announced that it was time for the first dance. Rachel stood up and met Finn half way across the dance floor. As the opening notes to Faithfully started, the pair started dancing.

"I love you too, Finn," Rachel said, smiling up at him.

About a minute passed, when Finn spoke.

"I'm sorry."

"What?" Rachel asked. "What for?"

"For breaking my promise," he replied.

Rachel's mind flashed back to when they were eight. "When we're 25, if neither of us are married yet, we'll marry each other." "It's a promise." They were twenty-seven now.

"You-you remember that?" she asked.

"Of course I do," he said, smiling. "Really though, I'm sorry I didn't keep that promise."

"You and I are dancing at our wedding, and you're apologizing for not keeping a promise we made when we were eight?"

He nodded and she laughed.

"You know, I don't think we would be here if we hadn't made that promise."

Rachel nodded in agreement. "It all started with a promise," she said as Finn spun her around.

So, there it is! I'm sorry to see this story end, but I'm happy too, since now I get to start a new story.

Speaking of which…

Earlier today, I saw Beauty and the Beast in 3D (which was released yesterday in the U.S. and it looked really cool in 3D) and I found myself comparing the Glee characters to the movie. So I thought "OMG! Since It All Started With A Promise is almost over, I could write Beauty and the Beast: Finchel version!" What do you think of that? Should I? Should I not? Should I just ditch this idea and write some one-shots like I was planning on doing? Leave your thoughts in the reviews. (BTW, if I do write this, it will be based on the Disney version of the story, because I love Disney)

I'd also like to thank you again for reading this story! Every time I get a new review, I get a huge smile on my face that kinda looks like this- :D So, thank you all for being WONDERFUL PEOPLE and I LOVE YOU!

So, with that all said, S'il vous plaît examiner! (That means "Please review!" in French)
