Hello everyone! Sorry it took a lot longer for me to update! I have been really busy and it has also been really hard to write because of Finn's tribute episode. I promise to make up for my lack of updates. Also, please remember you have until a couple days after this chapter is posted to go get your votes in. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

It's a nice afternoon in mid-October, Rachel is at an all-day rehearsal, so basically it's the perfect opportunity for Finn and Liam to have a nice father-son bonding day together. Liam's gotten so big and learned so much over the past seven months and Finn is really, really proud of him. It's nice that Liam gotten to the point that you can play with him for a really long time and still be actively engaged and everything and he'll always look up and give you a big smile. Finn loves that, he loves playing with Liam when he's all smiley and curious.

"Hey Buddy, good morning. Are you ready to hang out with me all day, huh? I bet you are." Finn says, lifting Liam out of his crib and ruffling the curls on his little head.

"Goodness your hair is so curly, just like your mommy's."
At the mention of Mommy Liam turns his little head and his eyes light up.

Finn giggles and smiles at Liam's instant reaction to hearing his mother's name. "No Buddy, Momma's not home, she'll be at work all day today. So, you and I are going to hang out and play together all day long. Does that sound good?"

Liam smiles at his daddy. "I'll take that as a yes then little guy, so what do think about me taking you to the zoo?"

Finn never thought there would be someone who could be a messier eater than he is, but then they introduced Liam to baby food and that all changed.

"Liam, the bananas are supposed to go in your mouth not out of it." Finn says laughing as cleans up Liam's messy chin.

He makes sure that Liam has a hoodie on because it's pretty chilly outside.
"Hey,there's no need to be fussy, I'm just trying to make sure you don't too cold, or get sick. You have to wear a jacket, Bud, Daddy doesn't want you to get to cold, okay?" Finn says slowly working Liam's tiny arms through the sleeves of his bright red jacket.

Finn's pushing Liam around the zoo in his stroller when his mom calls.

"Mom?" he says, very surprised that she called.

"Hi Sweetheart, what are you and Liam up to?" Carole asks him.

"Nothing really, were just at the zoo, Rachel's at work all day. So I figured Liam and I could just go out by ourselves today?"
"You two, are always taking him to the zoo ,you know."
"Yes Mom, I know, but I'm pretty sure it's his favorite place."

"I'm not surprised, you used to beg me to take you to the zoo when you were a little. Do you remember that?"
"A little bit."
"Well, I got off topic of course, but, I was thinking of coming out to see you sonn. What would think of that?"
"That would be nice, I really like your visits but have you noticed you come out to visit all the time."
"I just miss you too much, you are a father now, you should understand that."
"I do Mom, trust me, I do."
"Plus, that adorable little boy of yours needs a good visit from his grandma."
Finn smiles. "You spoil him too much Mom."
"But Finn, he's just the cutest little thing, he looks just like you did when were a baby."
"I know Mom, you've told me that a thousand times since he was born."
"Well, I guess I should let you get back to doing father son things with Liam give him lots of sugars from me, alright."
"will Mom, I love you."

Finn hangs up the phone and gives Liam a smile.

"Guess what Liam? Grandma is going to come and visit us. You like it when she comes don't you?"

Finn takes Liam to sit in the sunny area to eat his lunch. It's strawberry banana and spinach baby, food Liam has never been the biggest spinach fan, so needless to say it's quite the laugh.

"I know, I know, you really don't like to eat spinach but you have to eat your veggies if you want to grow up to be big and strong like a superhero." Finn tells Liam, as he watches the little boy slighty crinkle his nose and frown at him. Which is pretty much the cutest thing Finn has ever seen.
A woman holding her little girl's hand approaches Finn and Liam and smiles at them.

"Your son is really cute. How old is he?" She asks.

"7 months, and thank you." Finn replies

"What's his name?"
"Liam."
A few minutes Finn's phone rings and he realizes it's Rachel calling.

"Hey Babe, I wasn't expecting you to call this early." He tells her.

"I didn't think that I would have the time either, but I'm on break for a little bit." Rachel replies
"Well good, I bet you're going to be totally exhausted by the time you get home. I'll make sure everything is taken care of so you can go home and sleep."
"Aww, really? You don't have to do that, you really don't."

"Yes I do. You aren't going to be home till like ten and you've been gone since seven in the morning, just let me spoil you, please?"

"Alright, I guess it wouldn't do any harm. So anyway, what are you and Liam up to, anything special?"
"Not really, just at the zoo."
"I should have known you would take him to the zoo today. Is he being good for you."
"Of course he is, he is always a really good boy for us, he an absolute angel."

"I know, well I have to go, tell Liam that I love him and give him a kiss for me, okay?"
"I will, I promise. Break a leg at your show tonight, I love you."
No sooner than Finn hangs up the phone, and little Liam starts crying his head off."
"Aww, what's the matter Liam?" Finn asks and then he notices that Liam's hands are freezing.

"Oh my god, your freezing, let's get you home and all warmed up, okay?"

"There, now you are all warm." Finn says, covering Liam in blankets when they get home.

Liam's asleep within minutes. Finn carries him down the hall to his room and places him in his crib for a nap, placing Lionel next to him, as that is his favorite stuffed animal that he never, ever sleeps without. Finally, Finn kisses the top of Liam's tiny wrinkled forehead, he always does that when he sets him in his crib for a nap or to to go to bed. Finn's already dreading the day, years from now, when his adorable son won't let him do that anymore, won't let him kiss his forehead.

"Sweet dreams, Little Man, don't grow up too fast, okay? I know I always tease your mother when she says you are growing up too fast and that she doesn't want you to do that, but the truth is, I really don't want you to grow up either, I love you so much, and I don't want you to grow up and get hurt, I don't ever want to see you hurt ever, so, you know what when you get older and you fall off your bike, some kid tries to pick on you, you're sad, anything ,you just come and find me and I will always, always, be there to help you alright." He tells Liam, quietly stepping out of his room/ Then, tears flow out of his eyes, he can't help it,, Liam just growing up so fast that sometimes it breaks Finn's heart in two just seeing how big the little boy has gotten. Fin's sitting on the couch entering grades into the system on his laptop when Liam finally wakes up."

"Well, somebody's up from their nap. You really do have your mother's lungs you know. I swear someone could here you crying from miles away, Buddy." He teases smiling at Liam.

Liam starts babbling with a giant grin spread all over his face and his eyes twinkling.

"What is that giant grin on you face for, huh Kiddo?"
Liam giggles. That kid is such a goofball, Finn swears he has never met a kid who giggles and smiles as much as Liam does

"What's so funny? You care to share with your daddy?"
A while a later, Kurt stops by the house for a little while for a quick little visit."
"Hey Kurt, I wasn't expecting you to come by today." Finn says.

"I know, Rachel told me that you and Liam would be home by yourselves today so I figured it was the perfect time to come see my favorite brother and my favorite little nephew." Kurt says smiling.

"Kurt, I'm your only brother and you only nephew is Liam."

"So, I love you guys."
"We love you too, now come on hold him, I know you want to Kurt I can tell by the look on yor your face."
Finn is in the middle of handing Liam over to Kurt when he starts fussing.

"Hey Buddy, don't be so fussy Uncle Kurt's here. don't you want to see him?" Finn says and then Liam quits his soft fusses.

"There you go, see? I told you he wasn't going to hurt you."

"My goodness, he's gotten so big." Kurt comments.

"Yeah, and you were just over last week, he really does grow fast."
"Takes after his daddy."
"Not really, he's still tiny, just like Rachel."
"Other than that he looks so much like you."
"You think so?"
"Come on Finn, how could he not with those dimples of his. They are nearly identical to yours."
"You, Mom, and Rachel are literally obcessed with the fact that he got my dimples."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, it's just embarrassing."
Suddenly Liam starts crying. Kurt smiles a little, because he knows exactly what his little nephew wants, he wants Finn, he wants his daddy.

"Oh, oh goodness, hang on just a second, I'll give you back to your daddy, that what you want, isn't it?" Kurt says.

"I'm sorry, he's fussy, he just got up from his nap before you came over." Finn apologizes

"It's fine, I'll just let you to get back to bonding. You're a really good dad by the way."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
After Kurt leaves Finn sets Liam down next to him now that he can sit himself up.

"Well Liam, it's just you and me now, just the way we like it."
