It has been a week since Lisa came into the Hudsons lives. Stella had quickly grown close to Lisa. Today, Stella was taking a trip with her Aunt Lisa to meet more of her other family.
"Stella, Lisa is here!" Rachel shouted to her daughter who was in the other room still getting ready,"Sorry, she still isn't ready."
"It's no problem," Lisa said flashing a smile,"I'm in no rush."
"I'm ready," Stella announced walking into the living room with her suitcase.
"Stella, your only staying for the night," Rachel retorted,"Do you really need your big suitcase?"
"Yeah," Stella said.
"Fine, Lisa, she is all yours," Rachel laughed and gave her daughter a hug,"I love you, Stella."
"Love you, Mom," Stella said,"Tell Daddy I said Bye?"
"Of course," Rachel stated,"Bye." and Stella and Lisa were out the door.
After they were gone, Rachel went to the kitchen to get coffee. While getting her coffee, she heard the door open and close.
"Rachel?" Finn shouted.
"In the kitchen, Finn," Rachel yelled and then Finn entered the kitchen.
"Hey, babe," Finn said wrapping his arms around Rachel and giving her a kiss,"Stella's gone?"
"Yes, she and Lisa left not long ago," Rachel answered,"Did the kids get to Shelby's safe and sound?"
"Yeah, safe but not very soundly," Finn remarked,"There now with your mom, Stell is with Lisa, and we have the whole house to ourselves."
"We do for a couple of hours," Rachel recalled while kissing Finn," The gang are not coming over until around five."
"Why don't we take ourselves to our bedroom," Finn fantasized.
"I'm right behind you."
It didn't take long to get to Lisa's home in New Jersey from Stella's in New York.
"Here we are," Lisa said once they got the house.
"Wow, your house is beautiful," Stella reminisced while getting out of the car.
"Oh, Thank you," Lisa smiled,"Let's go inside."
Lisa took Stella's bag, then lead her inside the house.
"Mommy!" Ian exclaimed seeing Lisa.
"Hey, little man," Lisa said while picking up the toddler and putting down Stella's suitcase,"Where's your daddy?"
"Daddy!" Ian yelled with a smile.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," Arthur said entering the room,"Hello, I'm Arthur, you must be Stella."
"That's me," Stella said
"It's nice to meet you," Arthur said
"Likewise," Stella said with a grin.
"Mama, who she?" Ian asked looking at Stella.
"Ian, this is Stella," Lisa said looking at her son ,"She is your cousin."
"Oh," Ian murmured," Hi, Stellwa"
"Hello, Ian," Stella said and gave him a smile
"Will you play with me?" Ian asked looking at Stella.
"Ian, I don't think Stella wants to play, she just had a long car ride," Lisa said giving her son a look.
"No, it's fine," Stella answered,"I would love to play with you, Ian."
It was four thirty, when the gang arrived at the Hudson household.
"Hey, guys," Rachel said greeting her friends with hugs, "Where are the kids?"
"Babysitter!" the gang all answered in unison
"Okay, then dinner is ready," Finn said leading everyone to the dinning room.
The gang was half way through day when the conversation started.
"So, Stella is in New Jersey with her biological mother's family?" Quinn asked
"Yeah," Finn said.
"She is staying with them until tomorrow," Rachel said.
"How do you guys feel about it? Her relationship with them?" Artie asked looking at his friends
"I think it's good for Stella to get to learn more about her other family," Rachel replied.
"Do you think she would want to live with them?" Santana said
"Santana!" Kurt said shooting her with a look
"I think that Stella loves us a lot and would want to to stay with us until she moves out," Finn said.
"I agree," Blaine said.
"Like me and Quinn with Beth, we see her a lot now we are here, but she is always going to want to stay with Shelby because that's who raised her, it's her mom," Puck said.
"Why don't we talk about something else?" Brittany muttered.
"Yeah," Betty said.
"Okay, while everyone is here, me and Puck have some news," Quinn said smiling.
"What is it?" Finn asked
"We are having another baby," Quinn said with a big smile," I'm pregnant!"
"Omg, that's amazing," Kurt said getting up to hug Quinn
"Yeah, another Quick baby," Santana said hugging Puck then Quinn
The gang finished up desert, then talked some more, then we're off home.
It was eight pm, Stella, Ian, Lisa, and Arthur had finished dinner, and now Lisa and Stella were doing dishes while Arthur was putting Ian to bed.
"So, Stella, how have things been?" Lisa asked trying to make conversation
"Good," Stella said with a smile,"Nothing big big ha happened. Oh, but my Aunt Quinn is pregnant."
"That's awesome, are you excited?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah, it's going to be awesome having a new addition to the family," Stella smiled.
"About your family, telling more about your parents and them," Lisa said looking at her.
"Oh, my parents are amazing," Stella stated," They are just some of the best people you will ever meet. My mom is very protected and my dad is ten times more. They are amazing singers. My mom has won multiple Tonys for her work on Broadway. My dad is a awesome teacher was a even better principle, he is the leader of the whole pack. I've not talked much about my bus load of aunts and uncles, but I have a Aunt Santana and Brittany are amazing dancers and singers and have their dance studio, I told you about. They also have son Lucas who is great. My Uncle Kurt and Blaine have both done some Broadway, my uncle Kurt has his own fashion line with , and have a daughter Lucy. They there is Uncle Puck, Aunt Quinn, Uncle Artie, Aunt Betty, Mike, Tina, Mercedes, Sam, Kitty, Ryder, Unique, Marley and Jake."
"That's a lot," Lisa stated.
"Yes it is," Stella laughed.
All of a sudden, they heard a knock at the door,"I'll get it," Lisa said drying her hands before heading to the door.
Right after Lisa exited the kitchen, Stella's phone stated going off.
Life's candy and the sun's a bowl a butter
don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
"Hey, Mom," Stella said answering her phone
"Hey, Stell," Rachel said,"Just wanted to call and say good night from your family back here."
"Ah, Good Night, mom. I love you," Stell said
"Love you, too. Bye," Rachel said
"Bye," Stella said and hung up
Right after Stella was done on the phone, her Aunt Lisa rentered the room with a man beside her
"Who was that?" Lisa asked seeing Stell put her phone away.
"It was just my mom saying good night," Stella said
"Oh, okay," Lisa smiled then looked at the man," Stella this is Uncle Derek."
"Hello, it's nice to meet you," Stella said shaking his hand
"It's nice to meet you," Derek with a smile,"Lisa has told me a lot about you."
"Likewise," Stella said with a smile the her phone went off again.
Funny, how it ain't so funny
Funny girl...
"Excuse me," Stella said picking up her phone,"Hey, Nannie Shelby, what's up?"
"Nothing much, but I have your brothers and sister with me and they won't go to bed until you talk to them and sing a song," Shelby said.
"On, okay," Stella said,"Put them on speaker."
"Ok," Shelby said and did what Stella asked.
"Hey, troublemakers," Stella said
"Stella, we miss you," Stella heard Maria say.
"I miss you, too, but you have to go to sleep," Stella said,"Are you in bed and in pjs?"
"Yes," Matthew answered
"Okay," Stella said,"the I'll sing you guys a song then you bab to go to sleep for Nannie Shelby, okay?"
"Okay," the twins answered in unison
Stella smiled then started to sing
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody's been there,
Everybody's been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, just stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
And since your history of silence
Won't do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don't you tell them the truth?
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
Once she finished, she heard little snores going from the phone
"Maria? Matthew?" Stella asked and got no replies back
"Their asleep," Shelby whispered,"Thanks, Stell."
"No problem," Stella said with a smile,"Give them a kiss for me, Good Night."
"Good Night," Shelby said then hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Stella headed back to the living room.
"Was that your mom again?" Lisa asked when Stella entered the room.
"No, it was my mom's mom, my grandmother Shelby," Stella said,"She has my siblings, but they wouldn't go to sleep until I talked the them and sang."
"We heard some of the signing, your very good," Derek said.
"Thanks," Stella said.
"Did they go to sleep?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah, they were out cold," Stella said,"It doesn't take much, after I start singing to them."
"Does your mom ever sing them?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah, but she has been busy with the show lately, that because I'm with all the time, I put them to bed and sing, so right now their just use to me doing it. My mom used to sing to me about every night, when I was younger it was the only way I wanted to go to sleep," Stella stated.
"So you just have a pretty musical house?" Derek asked.
"Yeah," Stella replied.
"That's pretty awesome, it sounds like you have a amazing family," Derek said.
"I do, but I have a pretty awesome one here now too."
It was ten pm in New York, Rachel and Finn had cleaned up dinner, called Shelby to check on the kids, and called Stella.
The couple was now in their bed laying in each other's arms.
"Finn, do you think Stella would want to live with her other family?" Rachel asked her husband.
"I worry sometimes, " Finn replied,"But, I know right now Stella wants to learn more about them, her other family."
"We are her family," Rachel protested.
"I know, but their her family as while. We are her family always be her family."
It was now noon of the next day, Stella enjoyed a nice breakfast with everyone and right after packed her stuff then hopped in Derek's car and headed on their journey.
"So, I hope you enjoyed yourself," Derek said
"I did," Stella said with a smile
"Good, but me and Lisa talked and want you to know that we want to be part your life but not try to take you away from the amazing family you have," Derek protested
"Okay, thanks for telling me," Stella said and they continued their ride.
It took about fifteen more minutes until they arrived at their destination.
As soon as Stella entered the house she was attacked in hugs from her siblings.
"Stella!" Maria said. "Your home!" Matthew added.
"Hey, guys," Stella said to her siblings with a smile
"Who are you?" Matthew said looking at Derek.
"Matty, this is my Uncle Derek," Stella said.
"Hello," Derek said,"it's nice to meet you."
"Same," Maria said cutting her brother off.
"Hello, we are Rachel and Finn Hudson," Finn said entering the room "And this is Landon Hudson," Rachel added holding the baby.
"It's nice to meet you as well, but I have to head out I have a plane to check. Stella call me if you need anything. Bye," Derek said and left.
"He seems very nice," Rachel said
"He is," Stella said.
"Maria and Matthew, why don't you go plan in your room for a bit they we could maybe go to the park," Finn said
"Okay," the twins said in unison then headed out the leaving room.
"How was everything?" Rachel asked.
"It was good, but thank you," Stella said
"For what?" Finn asked.
"For being my mom and dad, you guys have done so much for me. I don't how my life would be without you guys. I lobe you so much," Stella said.
"We love too, our gold star," Rachel said.
"I love you, Mama Star."
