Christmas in Lima Part 2

AN: And here we go with the second part of their Christmas in Lima. Once again thank you for all of the wonderful reviews. I am enjoying writing these stories. As I promised when I started this story our Finn will always get his happy endings. I think it's safe to say that all of our favorite characters will get theirs too. Once again, thank you to my twitter posse. Love ya ladies. One day we'll get our Vegas trip. Reminder: any flashbacks that appear will be in italics and that any songs that I may choose to use throughout this story sadly aren't mine. Also I don't own any of the characters except a few that will pop up every now and then and a couple that are in the process of being created. Much love to you all!

December 20th

Rachel wakes up at three o'clock having a strong urge to vomit. She quickly but quietly unwraps herself out of Finn's arms and runs to the bathroom. She is thinking about everything that she had eaten the day before and nothing she ate should have upset her stomach; she didn't drink any alcohol either. Nothing hurts and she doesn't feel like she's running a fever, she isn't getting sick. As she's brushing her teeth, a thought strikes her hard. 'It can't be, wait today is the twentieth.' She thinks to herself. Quietly she walks out of the bathroom and retrieves her planner out of her purse. Ruffling through the pages she whispers to herself "Oh my God, this can't be right." As she sneaks a peek at her gorgeous sleeping man. "Well there's nothing you can do about it now." She tells herself, she puts her planner back into her purse before crawling back into bed with Finn.

Obviously, she's not able to sleep; she just keeps replaying the dates in her head as she places her hand on her still taunt belly. She finds herself excited, should she be excited? What if Finn doesn't want children now; oh no what if he thinks that she's trying to trap him just like Lucy did? She's working herself up and she knows that she needs to calm down before she wakes him up. She plans on visiting Santana and Brittney's room in the morning to ask Tana to go buy a test to confirm what she is almost certain is true.

Rachel finally must have fallen asleep because she is woken up by Finn placing small kisses on her face and lips. "Good morning babe." He whispers when he notices that she has her eyes open. Before she's able to reply to him, she jumps out of bed and runs to the bathroom with Finn hot on her heels. She practically slams the door in his face because she really doesn't need him watching her vomit. Just as a couple of hours earlier, when she finishes she brushes her teeth before opening the door. She knows that Finn is standing on the other side waiting for an explanation, one that she isn't able to give just yet, but she decides to tell him about what she thinks may be causing the sudden sickness.

She's right, Finn's standing outside of the bathroom door leaning against the wall, when she emerges from the room she reaches for his hand and leads him to the bed. After making him promise to listen to what she has to say, and not to freak out on her, "Finn, I'm like fifteen days late." She tells him as she tries to read his facial expression, which is utter confusion. She knows that he doesn't understand so she just comes out with the news that could change everything between them, "Finn, I think that I may be pregnant."

That got his attention, his reaction is one that she is hoping for but isn't the one that she is expecting, with his half smirk he asks her, "We're having a baby?"

"I haven't taken a test yet, and from what Kitty and everyone else that I know that has been pregnant; I haven't had all of the unpleasant symptoms. Kitty said that her boobs hurt to look at and she has been so tired. Aside from the nausea and vomiting, I feel fine." She tells her still smiling boyfriend.

"Well I think that we need to run to the drugstore and buy a couple of test and find out if we're going to be parents." He tells her, he is literally beaming down at her.

"You're not upset? I was afraid that you'd be upset because of how Lucy did you." She whispers while gazing into his auburn eyes.

"No baby, I'm definitely not upset. As far as Lucy goes, I always had doubts about her pregnancy and believe me; even though it hurt like hell when I found out that the baby wasn't mine, I'm so happy that she isn't. Rachel, being the daddy of your child would make me the happiest man on this earth." He tells her before placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Well I guess we need to get dressed and go get the tests so we can find out if we're going to be parents." She beams up at him as she speaks.

"First, let me give you your Hanukah gift then we will go." He tells her as he hands her a tiny box for her to unwrap. As soon as she opens it he tells her once again that he felt like they were the perfect gift for his little star. In the black velvet box set a pair of diamond earrings that matches the necklace that he had given her on the second day of Hanukah.

"Oh Finn they are beautiful; now let's get dressed so we can go get a test to find out if we're going to have a little Hudson for you to spoil." She says softly before placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

Finn feels like he has just heard the most beautiful words that he's ever heard. He stands up off the bed and reaches his hand out to her to help her up. "I like the sound of that, but it won't stop me from spoiling you." He says as he fights the urge to drop down on his knee and ask her to marry her right then. This time is so different. When he found out that Lucy was pregnant, the thought of marriage never crossed his mind. Like he had told Rachel he felt doubt as soon as she had told him. He didn't feel any of that this time; he only feels joy and happiness as he prays that the tests tell him the answer that he is currently wishing for so much.

Finn texts Puck and tells him that he and Rachel has an errand to run before meeting them at the Hudmel's house but promises that they would be there shortly. Then he shoots another text to his mom saying the same thing.

Rachel bought five pregnancy test, you have to be sure right? She and Finn are currently sitting in the bathroom floor waiting for the longest five minutes that either one of them have ever experienced. Once the time is up, Rachel looks at Finn and tells him that she isn't able to look. Finn tells her that he will look, because he is excited to find out the truth; does Rachel not want to have a baby? He wonders. He picks up the first test, careful to not show any facial expressions, then he looks at the other four before turning toward Rachel with the biggest smile on his face.

"Are we having a baby?" Rachel asks her smiling boyfriend.

"All five of them have the same sign on them, and that is a plus sign." He smiles.

"We're having a baby!" Rachel beams up at Finn before she stands up. As soon as she is standing upright, Finn sweeps her up into a hug and just keeps repeating thank you and I love you.

"Finn baby I didn't plan for this to happen, I need you to know that this is just as much as a surprise to me as it is to you. I just don't want you to think that I'm trying to trap you." She tells him, it will kill her, but she has to give him the opportunity to walk away if he wishes.

"Rach that hasn't even crossed my mind, I don't feel like you are trapping me. Yes this is a little bit earlier than I planned, but I already knew that I wanted to have children with you. When I look into my future, you are always standing beside me." He tells her, never taking his eyes off of hers.

"Are you happy? I am happy, like you said a little sooner than I expected but I'm so happy." She replies to her dashing boyfriend with tears in her eyes.

"Absolutely, we're having a baby. How could anyone not be happy about becoming a father? Come on baby, we need to head to mom's before she sends someone out looking for us." He smirks as he places her delicately on her feet.

On the way over to Carole's house they decide to wait to tell their family and friends on Christmas day, Rachel has already called the OB in Lima to schedule an appointment for Monday to confirm what her five tests told them and so she could get started on her prenatal care. Pulling into the driveway Finn looks over at Rachel and asks her if she is going to keep their secret for five whole days. Rachel sticks her tongue out of him before telling him that she is an excellent secret keeper.

"Sure you are babe." He chuckles as he gets out of Burt's SUV and walks around the vehicle to open the mother of his child's door.

She stands on her tiptoes and whispers in his ear, "The true question is, are you going to be able to keep it a secret that you're going to be a daddy?"

"Yep." He replies as he grabs her hand and walks inside the house. He's going to be daddy. He never thought that he would ever feel this happy again.

Carole has breakfast waiting on the couple, telling them that she had to fight Puck and Burt off to save them some of it. After thanking her for saving them some breakfast Rachel starts making her and Finn's plates as he pours them both a glass of orange juice.

"Would you two like for me to brew a fresh pot of coffee for you?" Carole asks the couple as they sit down at the bar to eat their breakfast.

"No thanks mom, not in the mood for coffee this morning." He tells his mom before flashing a quick smile at Rachel. That was another topic that they had discussed on their way over to the house. It was a question that Rachel was going to have to ask the doctor. Finn has pledged that if she couldn't have coffee then he won't drink any either.

"O…Okay, are you feeling alright Finn? All I ever hear is how you aren't able to start your day without drinking at least a pot of coffee." She chuckles.

"We grabbed a cup before we came." He lied to his mom because if he didn't she would just continue questioning them about their reasoning for not drinking coffee. He figures that once they announce their happy news of Christmas day that it will be worth lying to her.

Today is planned as a 'lazy day' with the girls and Kurt upstairs wrapping their gifts and the guys downstairs watching the Browns game on TV. Since some of the gifts that the girls had bought were for the other girls, they each found themselves in different rooms. Rachel is currently sitting on Finn's childhood bed; she notices his trophies in his trophy case with a couple of pictures from their Glee competitions. As she looks around his childhood room she becomes even more excited about the life that is currently growing inside of her. She sings as she wraps and she thinks of the perfect way to tell their family and friends about their special gift. She and Finn are going have to sneak out and go shopping again.

As each of the ladies finishes wrapping their presents, they retreat downstairs to spend time with the guys. Santana is currently driving them all crazy asking about each of the plays. Finn and Puck, who are going crazy since they aren't able to watch the game with Santana's hundred questions, finally Puck speaks up, "Hey Tana, can you find something else to do so we can actually watch the game?"

"Damn Puck, I was just trying to have a conversation. Oh I know what's wrong with you, Quinn has cut you off; hasn't she?" she smirks at the look on Puck's face.

"No she hasn't cut me off, it's that time of the month and I'm sure that you already knew that considering y'all talk about everything." He growls at her.

"We don't tell each other everything, thank you very much; because I feel like Rachel is keeping a secret now." She states honestly.

Finn, who has just taken a drink of soda; gets choked and spews it all over himself and Santana, after he gathers his composer he apologizes to her as he gets up to get her a towel to clean herself off.

Santana decides to follow Finn into the kitchen because judging by his reaction, she knows that Rachel is indeed hiding something and he knows what it is. After the kitchen door closes behind them, Santana decides to cut to the chase, "Are you going to tell me what Rachel is hiding?"

"Oh shit, Tana you scared the hell out of me. Rachel isn't hiding anything from you; I don't know why you think that she is." He tells her as he hands her a towel for her to clean the soda off of her shirt.

"I call bullshit. Remember this giant, I know everything about Rachel and I do know that I haven't had to make a certain run to the store for her since October." She smirks before taking a drink of her own drink.

"You do know that I go to the store for her too, she is living with me at my house. It's just easier for me to run to the store on my way home than asking you to come across town just to bring her tampons." He says matter of factly, he isn't totally lying he did pick her up a box in September and he does stop by the store for things that she needs since it is almost impossible for her to walk into the store without being harassed in Canyon Creek.

"I'm watching you Lurch, I think that something is up between you two." she tells him just as Rachel walks into the kitchen.

"Quit harassing my man, Tana. Why are you giving him your crazy eyes, have you been drinking already?" she laughs.

"No I haven't started drinking yet; tell me what you're hiding from me Rachel and I'll leave your man alone. I know you and I know that you are hiding something. Don't try to deny it." She tells Rachel with her arms crossed.

"Santana I'm not hiding anything from you, you are crazy. We haven't even been in the same room all day so why do you think that I am?" Rachel questions her.

"I can just tell, I could read it on your face when we were in Carole's room grabbing our bags. So help me Frankenteen if you did something to hurt her, I'll go all Brooklyn Heights on you." Santana tells the couple with a flip of her hair.

"Finn would never hurt me Tana, you know that. Now stop harassing him; I believe Brittney is looking for you." She tells the Latina who promptly turns on her heels and walks out of the kitchen.

"Damn baby, they really do know everything about you, don't they?" He chuckles as she buries her head into his chest.

"She means well, I just can't believe that she notices that something is different about me. But her physic vibe must need to be calibrated because there isn't anything wrong with me." She says with a smile looking up at her handsome man.

"As far as I'm concerned everything is perfect." He tells her as he leads her back out to the living room but before he's able to get her out of the door she tells him that everything is better than perfect.

Everyone is sitting in the living room while Carole and Quinn finishes up with dinner; Rachel had tried to help but the smell of the feta cheese turned her stomach so she excused herself telling them that she wasn't feeling well.

Of course, Santana notices that Rachel is pale and not helping with dinner, which is odd considering that Rachel enjoys cooking, "Are you okay diva?" she asks her pint size friend.

"Yeah, I'm good Tana, just tired." She tells her; avoiding eye contact with her because of the fear that somehow Tana would figure out her secret just by looking in her eyes.

After dinner, the guys goes upstairs and carries down all of the presents that the ladies had wrapped and placed them under the tree, when they are finally hauling all of the gifts from upstairs, Puck speaks up, "Dang ladies, do you think that you bought enough gifts?"

"Seriously, I swear that I counted over a hundred presents here." Blaine says as he places the last gift under the tree.

"What's wrong with wanted to buy things for the people we love?" Rachel unintentionally growls.

"Whoa there princess, we were just joking. Y'all ready to get our gifts and put them under the tree?" Puck replies before turning toward the rest of the guys.

"Sure, Mom where are the presents that we gave you the other day to wrap for us?" Finn asks Carole when she walks back into the living room.

"They are all wrapped and upstairs in Burt's office." She tells her son before sitting down beside her husband on the loveseat. "As you all know, Burt and I have to go to Columbus on Monday so he can attend the budget meeting at nine on Tuesday. I'm terribly sorry that we have to leave while you are here, but we will be back on Wednesday. Y'all are welcome to stay here if you want to." She says as she looks straight at Finn.

Santana pipes up, "Why don't you and Rachel stay here Finn? The rest of us will stay at the Lima Inn, since you have paid for our rooms for the whole visit."

"That is part of all of your Christmas. We just wanted to let y'all know how much we appreciate each one of you, but you won't hear me complain about us staying here." Finn tells the Latina; her attitude has totally changed from earlier. "But I don't think Rach and I can fit in my old bed." He adds with a shrug.

"Oh Finn honey, Burt and I bought both of you King size beds to put in your bedrooms so when you come visit you won't have to stay at one of the hotels. They will be here on Monday morning." Carole tells Finn.

"We could have bought our own beds mom." Kurt tells her as he gives her a hug, "but thank you."

"We just decided that if you two came home neither one of you would be coming alone anymore so we bought you two big boy beds." Burt adds with a chuckle as he accepts a hug from Finn.

"Dang straight I won't be coming home alone." Finn says with a smile to Rachel, little does his family know that he wouldn't just be bringing one person with him next time he comes home but two.

December 22nd

After a relaxing Sunday with Carole and Burt while Puck and Quinn went to visit Puck's family and Brittney and Santana were still over at Mitzy's house. So the family had enjoyed a wonderful day catching up after Finn had given Rachel her Hanukah gift, a Black Louboutin Bastille PM bag, joking that hopefully he'd be buying her a designer diaper bag to go with it. They both are currently getting ready to go to the doctor to confirm whether Rachel is pregnant or not. Finn walks into the bathroom where she's applying her makeup with her sixth Hanukah gift behind his back. "Hey baby, I want you to open this before we go. I hope you like it."

She reaches for the box and gently pulls the bow off of it before lifting the lid. "Finn is this from his spring collection?" she asks as she pulls the mango colored Kurt Hummel Original baby doll dress out of the box.

"It is; it's a perk being the brother of the designer; this design won't be in stores until April. And look at the name of this design." He tells her as he bends down so she can kiss him.

"Barbra Berry, I can't believe he named this after me." She gushes as she holds the beautiful dress up to her before she frowns, "but I probably won't be able to wear it much."

"If you outgrow it, I'll just buy you another one. As you are aware, this is the second one that he has named after you; his Rachel dress was named after his favorite Broadway diva. He had designed that collection before you moved out to LA. He also named one of this collection Quinn and another one is named Santana." He shrugs.

"Oh my, the perks of dating the brother of Kurt Hummel." She giggles.

With a smile he asks her if she's ready to go and find out if there is going to be another person who can influence a name for one of Kurt's designs. She smiles up at him and just nods her head in agreement.

They are in the waiting area of the OB/GYN office, Rachel is filling out all of the paperwork and for some reason when Finn sees her name, his stomach turns because he doesn't want her last name to be Berry when their child is born. Reminding himself that in just two days he would be asking her to be his wife, he finds himself excited to find out if they are going to be parents once again. Right after Rachel turns her paperwork in the nurse comes out and calls her name. After the nurse weighs Rachel's and asks her a few questions they find themselves in a small room. Rachel dressed in a paper gown and sitting on the table while Finn sits on the chair beside the bed. Dr. Allman, the doctor that had delivered Finn; walks into the room and introduces himself to the young couple.

"Congratulations, your urine sample confirms that you are indeed pregnant now I'd like to take a look and see if I'm able to see how the baby's doing and how far along that you are." He says as he asks her to lie back on the table.

Finn can't quit smiling; he's going to be a daddy. After the doctor does a quick exam, he tells her that everything seems good. He asks her to pull her gown up over her stomach so he can get an ultrasound as he hands her a paper blanket to cover herself up with. The doctor calls the ultrasound tech into the room. She introduces herself and tells Rachel that the gel will be a little cold before she puts it on her stomach. As she moves the probe around and measures the size of the baby, with a smile she turns the monitor so Rachel and Finn can see their precious miracle. "See this little dot right here?" she asks the couple, "That's your baby and by the size of him or her you are about ten weeks along. Looks like you're going to have a June baby. We should be able to hear the heartbeat." She tells the couple before turning the volume up as loud as it can go before putting the probe back on Rachel's stomach.

Thump, thump, thump. There it is; the rapid sound of their child's heartbeat. Rachel's and Finn's eyes both fill with tears as they both listen to the amazing sound. The ultrasound tech tells the couple congratulations once again before telling them that they would get everything together for her to take to her doctor in LA and a prescription of prenatal vitamins. Rachel has just gotten dressed when the nurse brings in her prescription and a manila envelope full of pictures and vital signs from her visit. The nurse explains to Rachel to take the vitamins everyday and that she is free to go. Rachel literally feels like she's floating out of the doctor's office. This is the greatest news she's ever received in her life. This is better news then winning her first Tony or when her album went gold. Hand in hand the new expecting parents walk down the street, passing a small children's store. Rachel had told Finn her idea about how they would tell their family that they are expecting, he thinks it's a great idea so he escorts her inside the small store in pursuit of finding the perfect gifts for their family.

After they exited the toy store with an armful of bags, they head to the next jewelry store to buy the perfect gift to give the new grandma. The couple waits while the charms and spacers are added to the charm bracelet; they had chosen several charms representing Carole's family with the last charm added being a tiny shoe with an alexandrite birthstone deciding to add a boy spacer on one side of it and a girl spacer on the other.

December 23rd

Finn is woken up by Rachel gently running her fingernails down his chest and abdomen as she places tender kisses down the burning trail that her touch is causing.

Finn gives her an appreciative moan as he starts to wake from his slumber, "Good morning, sweetheart." He huskily tells her as he gentle rubs her back.

"How did you sleep last night baby?" Rachel asks him before placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

"I wonder if we can sneak this mattress on the airplane?" he jokes as he pulls her up so he is face to face with his beautiful woman.

"I don't think that I want a king size bed at home; it's too big, you would be too far away from me." She pouts, "But maybe we could get this brand of mattress in a queen."

"Yeah but we need to find the perfect house for us to raise our baby in first. Sam seems to think that the couple that toured your house over the weekend is really considering putting in an offer." He tells her as he unconsciously starts rubbing her still flat stomach.

"Good, I will accept the exact amount that I paid for it; I just want to get out of that subdivision. It is bad enough that they hide in bushes to snap pictures of us but I don't want to worry about them stalking our child." Rachel tells Finn before rolling off of him attempting to get out of bed.

Finn gently grabs her arm and playfully asks her, "Where do you think you're going?"

"Well I expect the others to be here soon to eat and I want to get their special gifts wrapped and under the tree before they get here." She tells him as she reaches for her bathrobe.

"Wait, I have to give you your Hanukah gift for today first, then I'll help you wrap their gifts." He tells her while he retrieves her seventh gift out of the bedside table drawer and hands it to her with a kiss.

She opens the envelope with a gasp; inside she finds two first class tickets to the Hawaiian Islands. "Oh, Finn I've never been to Hawaii before, this is such a thoughtful gift." She appears to be deep in thought, tapping her finger to her chin; "but who would I take with me?" she giggles at the pout of Finn's face.

"You can take whoever you want, and look there isn't an expiration date; so you can go whenever you want." He tells her; seriously who else would she want to take with her on a romantic getaway but him.

Seeing the hurt and misery on his face, Rachel finally tells Finn that this would be a wonderful vacation for them after the baby is born. Just as any other time the baby is mentioned Finn can't help but to smile, he leans into the beautiful brunette before thanking her for giving him the gift that only she could give him.

"Our baby is our gift to each other; I couldn't have conceived him or her without you. I am honored to say that I am carrying your baby." She tells him with another kiss before standing up and telling him to come on so they can get the gifts under the tree before the rest of the crew arrives.

Rachel is in the kitchen (unsuccessfully) attempting to fix breakfast before their friends arrive. Finn catches her running toward the guest bathroom out of the corner of his eye, knowing that the scent of the food is making her nauseous, walks into the kitchen to finish their breakfast.

Rachel, pale a ghost walks back into the kitchen and tells Finn that she would finish it up. "No babe, just sit down and relax before the mania starts. I know how to cook, ya know?" He smirks while he flips the pancakes in the pan before sliding them onto the plate.

Before she has a chance to answer, the kitchen door busts open by Kurt, who is standing there with his hands over his eyes, "Are you too decent?" he snickers.

"Yes Kurt, I haven't cooked in the nude since college." Finn deadpans in the direction of Kurt.

"Great…Okay guys the coast is clear." Kurt hollers over his shoulder to the others.

Santana is the first to burst through the door, she notices how pale Rachel is immediately; she walks over to her and places her arm on Rachel's forehead. "Berry, are you okay? You look like shit, but you're not running a fever."

"Yes Tana, I'm fine; I'm just a little tired." Rachel tells her as she brushes Santana's arm away from her head.

"Do you still want to go shopping today; you said that you still needed to buy a couple more things." Santana asks as she hands Quinn a plate.

"Sure do, I just need to take a quick shower after breakfast, and then we can go." Rachel answers the Latina, "I promise you Tana that I am fine."

After breakfast, the guys tells the girls to go ahead and get ready to go, they will clean the kitchen up. Kurt walks out with the girls and turns to Rachel, "Rachel can I pick out your outfit today?"

"Kurt I just want to wear something comfortable and no heels. I'm just going shopping not to a red carpet event." Rachel tells the designer.

"Rachel Barbra Berry, you are a star and should always dress like one, I don't care if you are just taking the trash out, you must always look your best." He sasses.

Finn hears the commotion and walks out of the kitchen door at the end of Kurt's rant, "Whoa dude, she always looks like a star. Let her wear whatever she wants. She hasn't been feeling that great for the last couple of days." Finn growls at his brother.

With his hands held up in surrender, he tells them fine and apologizes to Rachel before she heads up the stairs to grab a shower. Kurt walks into the living room and sits down next to Santana to wait on Rachel to get ready. "Something is totally up with those two." He whispers to Santana.

"I know, I have told you guys that for the last couple of days. Where have you been porcelain?" Santana sneers at the petite man.

Once Rachel is ready to go, they all kiss their men goodbye with the promise that they wouldn't be gone too long. All of the girls piles into Burt's SUV with Kurt behind the wheel. Quinn thinks this is the best time to confront Rachel since she wouldn't dare jump out of a moving vehicle. "Rachel, what's going on with you? You have been unusually tired and you never get sick. We are all worried about you."

"I wish you guys would quit worrying about me, I promise that I am not sick! Why won't you guys believe me?" she huffs.

"Because your words and your actions tell two different stories." Kurt answers.

"I'm fine, can we please drop this; I wanna get my shop on!" she answers with a beaming smile hoping to convince her friends that she's okay.

After three hours of shopping, the shopping crew finds themselves back in the driveway of the Hudmel home and greeted by the guys, who came out to offer with carrying in their purchases. "Did you all have a good time?" Puck asks as he grabs a bunch of the bags out of the back of the SUV.

"We had a lovely girls' day, and finally all of the Christmas shopping is done." Kurt tells Puck as he grabs some of the purchases.

"Good thing since Christmas Eve is tomorrow." Puck tells Kurt as he starts walking up the sidewalk toward the house.

"We're going have to hire a private plane just to get all of this back to LA." Finn adds while he helps Rachel out of the backseat.

Once all of the bags are brought into the house, Finn suggests that they just order take out so the kitchen can stay clean for the next day. After about thirty minutes, they all decide to order pizza and salad for dinner.

After their meal, everyone decides to head back to the hotel room after telling Finn and Rachel that they would all return in the morning. Finn locks the door behind their friends and turns to walk back into the living room, only to find it empty. Then he calls for Rachel and he hears a small "up here" from their bedroom. He walks up the stairs and his senses are attacked by vanilla. "Babe, are you in her…"he is stopped midsentence by the sight standing in front of him. Standing in front of him is his goddess dressed in a red Santa inspired teddy complete with a Santa hat on top of her flowing hair. "Well hello there little boy, have you been a good boy this year?" Rachel sexily asks him as she slowly makes her way to him.

"Yes ma'am, I've been a real good boy this year. I think that I deserve an awesome present this year." He whispers as he takes her into his arms.

"I plan on giving you a Christmas present that you will never forget." She tells him as she grabs a hold of his shirt and pulls him toward the bed.

Feeling so much love for his beautiful woman, he moves slowly as he gently starts removing her clothes. "God Rachel, you are so beautiful. I love you so much." He tells her between peppering her body with tender kisses. He reaches her stomach and leans in and whispers to his unborn child, "And you, I can't wait to meet you. Daddy loves you so much."

With tears in her eyes, Rachel reaches down and pulls Finn's lips to hers. "I want to make love to you, I need to feel you inside of me." She whispers as she reaches for his tee shirt and pulls it over his head.

"I want you so bad baby, but are you sure? I don't want to hurt you." He whispers as he slides his pants off.

"You aren't going to hurt me or the baby. I want you more than anything right now. I've thought about making love to you since I bought this earlier today." She tells him as she reaches for his stiff erection and guides him into her. He gently pushes in and pulls out slowly as he whispers his love to her.

She feels that oh so strong urge building up in her core, she needs him to go faster; she wraps her legs around his torso and pulls him into her as she arches her back. "I'm almost there baby, go faster." She demands. With this statement, Finn speeds up his thrust as he continues to kiss and nip at her neck. He feels her tightening up around him and he knows that she's so close, he reaches down between their bodies and finds her bundle and starts rubbing her nub as he continues to pump into her body until he feels her release around him, as always as soon as she is satisfied he too releases his pleasure into her. Without words they cuddle into each others body and drifts off to sleep.

December 24th-Christmas Eve and the Last day of Hanukah

Finn rolls over to take Rachel into his arms; he whispers in her ear that he has a surprise for her today. He tells her that he clothes are laid out in the bathroom for her to wear after they have breakfast.

He shoots a quick text to Puck telling him that he is going to take Rachel out for a while but they are more than welcome to come over to eat breakfast. After a crude "Get you some" from Puck; Finn places his phone on the bedside table and heads downstairs to fix their breakfast.

"Finn, this dress is beautiful, where are we going?" she questions, "I feel like I should be walking a runway right now."

"It's a surprise, and for the record no matter what you are wearing you could walk the runway." He tells her before kissing her and placing her plate on the table for her.

"You are just full of surprises aren't you?" she giggles before she gets serious, "When will your parents be back tonight?"

"Mom just text me and said that dad has another meeting this morning but regardless of when it was over they are coming home to be with us for Christmas." He tells her as he sits down beside her at the table.

After they cleaned the kitchen back up; Finn showers and gets dressed while Rachel waits in the living room. Finn comes downstairs and Rachel has to remind herself to breathe, standing in front of her in a black suit with a red silk shirt on under the jacket that matches the color of her dress. "WOW babe, you look amazing, are you sure that we can't just go back up the stairs." She smirks before placing a scorching kiss on his lips.

"Nope, we can do that later; now come on time's a ticking." He tells her as he links his arm through hers. He opens her car door and helps her up into the SUV before walking around the front to get in the driver's seat. "Trust me?" he questions her.

"Of course, why wouldn't I trust you?" she asks, wondering what he has up his sleeve.

"Good, than put this on." He tells her as he hands her a white blindfold.

"Are you crazy? I have no idea where anything is around here, silly." She tells him before grabbing the blindfold out of his hand and placing it on her lap.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. You don't need to wear it." He tells her as he pulls out of the driveway and heads to the undisclosed location. Finn can't remember a time in his life when he's ever been this nervous; he had decided that he wanted it to be only him and Rachel there when he asks her to marry him. He hears a tiny gasp from Rachel as he parks the car at the edge of the only lake in town.

"Finn, this place is beautiful." She tells him when he opens her door and gives her hand to help her get out of the vehicle.

"This used to be my favorite summer hangout when I was a kid and teenager." He tells her as he escorts her to the gazebo in the middle of the park. "I wish it was warmer here today, because ever since I was a little boy I always dreamed of doing this here." He tells her when he stops in the middle of the gazebo.

"Do what?" she questions.

"Rachel you know how much I love you, right? I have been carrying this around for two months; I was going to wait until Christmas to do this, but then I decided that this would be the perfect Hanukah gift." He tells her as he wipes the tears off Rachel's face. He pulls the tiny black box out of his pocket before dropping down to one of his knees. "Rachel, you are the love of my life and I can't ever imagine my life without you. I know that this may seem soon to some; but will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Rachel is left speechless; she really hadn't expected him to propose to her. (Wait, did he say that he had bought the ring months ago? That means that it has nothing to do with the baby. He really wants to marry me.) She looks down at him with the sad look on his face; she realizes that she still needs to answer him. Flashing him her brightest smile, she nods her head and tells him yes. "I would be honored to become your wife." She tells him as he slides the gorgeous three carat emerald cut diamonds with stars engraved in the band.

"I love you more than my own life, I can't wait to make you my wife." He whispers as he stands back up and kisses her.

Rachel decides that she wants to get married before the baby is born, but also before she looks like a blimp floating down the aisle, "How quick do you think that Kurt could design my wedding dress?" she beams at her fiancé.

"Well, I'm sure that he could fit it in. He would be the talk of the designer world because he gets to design the Rachel Berry's wedding dress." Finn chuckles as he takes her by the arm to escort her back to the vehicle. (We don't need for her to get sick now do we?)

They discuss in the car on the way back to Carole's house that they did want to get married before the baby is born, and Rachel made it very clear to Finn that she would not walk down the aisle when she's seven or eight months pregnant; the duo decides to try and set a date for Valentine's Day. Rachel has only one request, that they get married in Lima. Secretly Finn is ecstatic that she wants to get married in his hometown, promises her that he would marry her on the moon if that was what she wanted. When they pull into the driveway, they notice that Burt and Carole are back home and that all of their friends were there also. They decide not to tell anyone that they were engaged, they want to see how long it takes anyone to notice her ring.

"Hey guys!" Rachel chirps as Finn helps her take off her coat. "How was your trip Burt and Carole?"

"Oh honey, you look beautiful; where have you two been?" Carole asks as she hugs Rachel. It doesn't take Puck long to notice the sparkle on Rachel's left hand. "Whoa, does anyone have a pair of shades I can borrow. It just got way brighter in here." Puck laughs as he pretends to cover his eyes from the shine off of Rachel's ring.

"What are you talking about Puck?" Carole asks as she releases Rachel from her embrace but still holding her by her shoulders.

"Look at that rock on Rachel's hand, momma Carole." Puck smirks up at Finn who is currently smiling from ear to ear.

Carole reaches for Rachel's left hand and the others gather around. "Oh my God, Rachel that is one beautiful ring." She then looks over at Finn and says, "You did well son, I guess you didn't need my help after all."

"Wait, what, you knew that he was going to propose to her and didn't tell me?" Kurt huffs.

"Well yeah, we didn't want Rachel to find out, so we elected not to tell you." Carole tells her pouting son.

"Look on the bright side Kurt, guess who she wants to design her gown and her bridesmaids' dresses." Finn smirks.

"That sentence better end up with Kurt Hummel." Kurt huffs.

"Of course Kurt, there is absolutely no one else who I want to design my gown. I mean you are going to be my brother in law." Rachel tells the calming designer.

"Why do I sense a 'but' coming my way?" Kurt asks as he looks between Rachel and Finn.

"We want to get married on Valentine's Day here at mom and dad's house. Do you think that you can pull that off or do I need to find another designer?" Finn smirks because he knows that there is no way in hell Kurt will allow anyone else to design Rachel's gown.

"I can get it done, don't you worry about that my dear brother. A Kurt Hummel planned wedding will be the wedding of the century, even if it is happening in Lima Ohio." He smirks.

"Okay, we will start discussing wedding details after Christmas. Carole we didn't even ask you if it will be okay to have our wedding here." Rachel tells her future mother in law.

"You don't need to ask us if you can get married here, this is Finn's home and since you are marrying our son; this is your home too." Burt tells the petite actress with a hug.

"Thanks, dad; Rachel really wants to get married here." Finn tells Burt before heading to the kitchen to fix him and Rachel some hot chocolate.

The group sits around the fireplace telling stories of their favorite Christmas memories way up into the morning. Around two in the morning; Puck, Quinn, Santana and Brittney heads to the hotel as Finn, Rachel, Blaine and Kurt gets ready for bed at their parents house as promised.

December 25th—Christmas Day

As promised, the group from the Inn is back at the house at seven o'clock in the morning so they all could enjoy a Christmas morning feast before they started opening gifts. They decided that they would all meet at the Hudmel house early than Brittney and Santana can go to Mitzy's house and Puck and Quinn could go spend the day with Puck's mom and Sarah. (Yeah, they are Jewish and Hanukah is over but he decided that it would be a good day for Quinn to spend time with his family.)

They find themselves sitting in front of the Christmas tree as Carole hands out the gifts to each of the 'children'. After about two hours of exchanging gifts, the only gifts left are the special gifts that Finn and Rachel had bought for everyone. Finn stands up and tells his mom to have a seat as he starts handing out their gifts telling them all to wait until everyone has theirs before opening them. After everyone has their present in their hands Rachel stands up next to Finn and tells them all to open their gifts. The room becomes full of "ooooos and ahhhhs". It's Santana who stands up first as holds out the silver picture from that is engraved 'Auntie Tana" that holds a copy of Rachel's ultrasound, "You're having a baby?" she asks as happy tears streams down her face. With a nod from Rachel the couple finds themselves surrounded by all of their friends. "So that's why you asked her to marry you and why you want to get married so soon." Puck smirks at Finn.

Finn looks at Rachel and can tell that she wonders the same thing. "No Puck, we didn't find out until Monday that we were having a baby. Ask mom when I bought Rachel's ring. As far as wanting to get married so soon, yes it is because of the baby. Rachel wants to get married before she gets too big and I want her to have my last name when she gives birth to my child." Finn growls.

"I'm so happy for both of you, not only am I gaining a daughter but a grandbaby also!" Carole squeals as she inspects the charms on her bracelet. "This is such a precious gift, so I guess by the birthstone on this charm, our bundle of joy will be here in June."

"My due date is around Mother's day, we will know more once I get to the OB in LA and they run all of the needed test. But, Dr. Allman assures us that the baby is doing great." Rachel tells the still beaming grandma to be.

"I want you to let me know when you have your appointments, please." Carole insists.

"Why mom, it's not like you can fly out to LA just to go to the doctor with us." Finn tells his overjoyed mom.

"Watch me, and I plan on coming out to help move you once you find another home for your little family." She sternly tells her stubborn son.

"Okay, Fine." Finn grumbles before adding, "I got a call from Sam this morning and an offer has been placed on Rachel's house. He will draw up the paperwork tomorrow and they should be ready for Rachel to sign when we get back to LA; then we will start looking for another home to move into after the wedding." Finn tells the room before kissing Rachel on the forehead.

Okay, I finally got Christmas done just in time for New Year's Day. Next chapter will be the moving process and planning of their wedding. I hope it doesn't take me another two weeks to update. Anyway please read and review. Here's to an awesome 2015
