Hey everybody, I'm very excited for this chapter because it is the Halloween one and absolutely love Halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays. Also, I adore babies in Halloween costumes... cutest thing ever. There's a lot of all fall stuff in here too. I hope you guys all enjoy it.

It's a Saturday evening just a few days before Halloween and Finn and Liam are waiting for Rachel to get back from the grocery store. Right now Finn's helping Liam drink the last few sips of milk from his bottle. He's pretty good at it actually, Finn just watches him to make sure that he doesn't spill puddles of milk all over the couch. Liam is already proving to be a very independent little kid. He totally gets that from his mother, so naturally Rachel is really proud of him. Careful not to let Liam drip apple milk off his tiny chin and onto the couch, Finn cleans up Liam's face.

"You know, I would have thought your mommy would be home by now. She's probably got some surprise she hasn't told us about yet up her sleeve. She's fantastic at surprises so I'm sure it will be awesome. She needs to get home so she and I can snuggle up with you, because I know you are sleepy, but in the meantime I guess you and I can just sit here and watch It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown together." Finn says placing Liam's tiny head on his chest because he knows that Liam likes to sleep that way.
Liam's eyes flutter and Finn smiles at him.

"Or you could just fall asleep, and let me stay up and watch you, I'm cool with Daddy-Liam snuggles.

Rachel gets home to see Finn and Liam all cuddled up together asleep and she smiles. It's freaking adorable.

"Finn, Honey, I'm back, wake up. I bought Liam's Halloween costume and I want to show you it. I think you'll love it, it's so cute." She says gently trying to wake Finn up.

"What? Oh sorry Rach, Liam was sleepy, so we cuddled and I just fell asleep and I totally spaced staying up and waiting…" Finn starts half-yawning but Rachel cuts him off

"It's fine really, you fall asleep when you snuggle, have you forgotten that I always notice the little things about you?"

"No, I haven't forgotten, so what is Liam's cotume."
"A lion."
Finn smiles. "I knew it."
"You like it?" Rachel asks, holding up a tiny lion costume with a big fuzzy mane and giant floppy ears
"Of course I do. It's adorable."

Liam wakes up looking at his surroundings looking slightly confused.

"Well hi there sleepy boy, I'm home. Did you miss me?" Rachel asks.

"Of course he missed you, he is a huge Mommy's boy." Finn comments.

"Oh I forgot, I finally remembered to buy you candy corn, Finny. I'm sorry it took me so long, I know it's your favorite."
"Don't worry about it baby, I know how busy you are. I've had to wait since the end of last fall anyway what was the harm in just a few more days of waiting. Thank you so much for getting it for me."
"No problem, you love it and I noticed you've been really, really stressed about work, so I thought you could use a little something to cheer you up. We haven't really gotten the chance to talk about it. What's going on, you're not as excited as you usually are when you come home from work. I'm worried about you, Finn."
"It's just, lately I feel like I'm not doing a very good job of teaching, the kids they just, I can't get them to want to do anything. And I'm pretty sure I'm the most boring and uncreative choir teacher ever." Finn replies, a few tears falling down his face until finally nothing ceases them and they just keep falling.

"Finn, look at me. You need to remember that your students are in high school and sometimes they don't give a single care in the world about school, and that's got nothing to do with you, that's just their age, it not got a single thing to do with you. Also, you're very creative. SopranYES is a brilliant name for a show choir and Disney songs, also brilliant."

"I love you, thank you for saying all of that."
"You're welcome, now what do you say we put Liam to bed, I heat up the apple cider and we snuggle?"

"I would love that."
Sunday afternoon Finn takes Liam out to the yard to play in the leaves.

"Liam, Buddy, don't put the leaf in your mouth, you can't eat it, you silly goose." He teases. He bounces Liam up and down into the leaves and the kid doesn't stop giggling.
"You like this game, huh?"

"Where's Liam… oh there he is." Finn says uncovering Liam from being buried in leaves.

Liam giggles uncontrollably for a few minutes and Finn gives him a big smile. He loves to hea his perfect little boy laughing so cutely. It makes him melt inside.

"Alright Mr. Giggle Box, let's get you inside it's getting chilly out here and I think it's time for you to eat lunch."
Finn tells Liam, picking him up and carrying him into the house.

"So did the two of you have fun playing in the leaves?" Rachel asks smiling.

"Yeah, we sure did I buried Liam in the leaves." Finn says grinning.

"You did? Finn, he's tiny that could have been very, very, dangerous. Were you being careful with him?"
"Of course I was careful with him, he wasn't even completely covered. Plus he laughed the whole entire time we were playing . I promise you, he was just fine, not a single scratch or anything on him I promise."
"Alright, I trust you, you're a really, really, good father to him."
"Thank you I try my best. He's my little man."

Finn and Rachel are really excited to get Liam ready in his Halloween costume so they can take him up to Kurt's for his family costume party since it's kind of tradition. Finn and Rachel are dressed up as salt and pepper shakers because, for some reason, neither one of them know exactly why, they decided to go as something really cliché this year. Liam is super fussy when Rachel gets his changed into his costume but he looks adorable in it. Rachel picks him up and kisses him on the cheek over and over before taking him out to the living room to Finn. She tends to do things like that when she finds her sweet little boy so adorable.
"Oh Liam my sweet baby boy, you look so darn precious. Mommy could just stare at you all day. Now come on, let's go show Daddy how cute you look in your costume." Rachel coos scooping Liam up in her arms and taking him to the living room.

"Oh my goodness, he looks so freaking adorable, Rach! Let me have him." Finn says grinning.

"Hang on just a minute Finn, I have to fix his little hood." Rachel says.

"Okay."
When Rachel finally hands Finn Liam, Finn's trying to teach him how to say roar, of course he's only teasing, but it's still fun.

"Can you make the lion noise buddy? Huh, can you show daddy it?" Finn says playfully. Liam just looks up him and starts to giggle.

"Close enough." Finn praises and then he lifts Liam up and kisses his forehead.

"Daddy's being silly, isn't he Liam? You can't even talk yet, but I'm sure that when you finally do learn to talk your very first word is going to be Momma, isn't that right my little pumpkin pie?" Rachel teases.

"No his very first word is going to be Dada, and we better get going. You know how much Kurt hates it when we show up late."
"Alright, we're coming." Rachel says.

When they arrive at Kurt's Liam is immediately taken out of his Daddy's arms and nearly hugged to death by his Uncle Kurt."
"Oh my God, you are absolutely precious, Little Liam . Your mommy and Daddy did a very, very good job on your costume." Kurt says with a smile.

"Jesus Kurt, you are going to suffocate my son from hugging him so much." Finn teases.

"Calm down Finn. I can't help it, he is absolutely freaking adorable, and if I recall you did the exact same thing on Elizabeth's first Halloween."
"Yeah, I guess I did didn't I?"

"I think your son wants you back Finn, he's fussy."
"Of course he does. He loves me, Kurt."
Kurt laughs. "Oh Finn, you are an absolutely ridiculous parent, but the good kind of course."
"I know, Rachel's told me like a thousand times."
Then, Liam starts to cry.

"Aww, what's the matter Buddy, are you hungry or something? I'll get you your dinner in just a second, Okay?" Finn tells Liam.

When Liam eats, Rachel insists on completely in napkins, covering his costume in napkins. She is refusing to let him get even the slightest bit of anything on his perfectly adorable costume."

"Liam, you know you're making a huge mess, right Buddy?" Finn teases as he takes a napkin to Liam's small chin.

"I love the way he looks when he eats it's so adorable." Rachel says smiling.

"I know, he's just the cutest thing in the whole wide world. He's a hungry little lion tonight though,"

"Finn, he takes after you the boy is always hungry."
"Liam, Momma's teasing you isn't she, that's not very nice. She's very silly."

"Hey, Liam loves me, Finn, he's my baby boy and I like to tease him"
"He looks a lot like you today."

"Yeah, he really, really does."
"It's those big, gorgeous brown eyes of his, I'm telling you."
"I think he's getting a little sleepy, we probably should get him home in a little while."
"Yeah, don't want him getting too fussy, we won't be able to get him to sleep and he will be crying his little head off all night and he won't sleep."
They leave Kurt and Blaine's a half an hour later.

"Bye Kurt, thank you for having us." Rachel says.

"You're welcome you two, have a good night, and bye Liam, Uncle Kurt loves you."
"Can you wave bye-bye to Uncle Kurt, Liam" Finn says helping Liam waveto his uncle

By the time they get home Liam is sound asleep, Rachel went to get his pajamas so Finn's changing Liam out of his pajamas. The tiny boy fusses a little but doesn't wake up.

"Hey Bud, you are a tired little lion aren't you? Mwah, Daddy loves you so much." Finn tells Liam kissing his little, tiny, dimpled cheek.

"Did he wake up?" Rachel asks.

"No, he did fuss a little bit though, but other than that, he's out like a light."
"He's so worn out, look at him, do you think he had a good first Halloween?" Rachel says, a smile on her face.

"Yeah, he totally did. He'll sleep good tonight, that's for sure."
"You were so adorable with him tonight, you know that."

"You always say that."
"That's only because it's true, Finny. You are such an

adorable daddy.

"This was the best Halloween ever." Finn says.

Rachel smiles. "I totally agree."
