The women started carding through the stack. She did it again. "I'm sorry; it seems she wasn't on the flight."Finn was shocked, "What?" "She's not on our registered fliers list." Finn: "This was her flight. I know it was her flight!" His voice intertwined with anger and desperation. "Sir, I'm sorry but she wasn't registered on the flight. I don't know what else to say."
Finn turned to Puck, a mixture of happiness and fear was on his face. Where was she? He grabbed Puck and stepped out of the line. His world was spinning; he didn't know where to go or what to do. She wasn't on the flight? "Puck, did you stop by my apartment this morning to pick up that sheet music I asked about?" "No, I forgot to pick it up this morning because I woke up late I was going to get it on our lunch break. Why?" "Take me home." He started yelling at Puck. Puck and Finn ran to the car, Puck drove Finn to his apartment .They pulled up to the apartment in record time, Finn got out and ran up the stairs to the sixth floor. He made it to the door and slammed it open. He ran to the stairwell where he saw her standing at the top, eyes wide and mouth slightly open still in her pajamas. He ran up the stairs towards her. She spread her arms wide and let him pick her up. Finn's tears soaked the sleeve of her deer printed sweatshirt as he held on tight. "Oh babe, what's happened?" She whispered into his ear. He slid to the floor with her still in his arms. She cradled his head in her arms as his body shook. He could hear Puck coming into his apartment and reaching the stairs. Puck looked at Finn, crying. Puck shook his head and let the tears that had been threatening his eyes all day fall and said "Thank god."
Rachel looked down at him with a scared look on her face, "Finn?" "Don't ever let go." He said. Puck made it to the top of the stairs and joined them on the floor; he sat down and started rubbing her back. Rachel turned and gave Puck a weak smile, still unsure of what happened.
Rachel: "Puck?" Puck said: "Didn't you have a flight?" Rachel: Uh, yeah," She said quizzically, "the taxi never showed up and I missed my alarm. I got a flight tomorrow night though." Puck looked down at Finn and sighed, "I think you're going to miss that one too." Finn tightened his arms around Rachel's waist and shook his head, "She's not going anywhere."
Later that day after Puck left and Rachel called Will telling him she was fine and Finn calmed down he told Rachel everything that had happened she finally understood why he was so upset. The next day when Finn and Rachel went for lunch at Sardi's and a walk around Central park he proposed to her when they were standing in the middle of Bow Bridge and she accepted the proposal.
