Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, nor do I own Fools Rush In. This is just for fun.
AN: I wanted to clear this up to bar confusion. Finn lives in Chicago, however, the headquarters for his company is based in Manhattan, that is why he had to visit Schuester in New York.
Thanks for all the reviews, subscriptions, etc. You are all awesome. Here's Chapter 5, enjoy!
July 30, 2013
Finn is at home on the phone with Kurt. "Hello? What happened?"
Finn listened to Kurt speaking and immediately starts to panic when he learns that Rachel is in the hospital. He hops in his car and races to the hospital where Rachel is staying.
Finn, running inside in the hospital asks the nurse where maternity is.
"Third floor" the receptionist tells him.
He finds Rachel's room and walks in.
"Rach, are you okay?" Finn asks her.
"I'm okay"
"Is the baby okay?"
"There's no baby"
"What?" Finn asked startled.
"Listen, I've been thinking, if I hadn't been pregnant, I wouldn't have gone to your house and we wouldn't have gotten married. This baby was the reason for us to be together."
"That's not true!" Finn began to tear up.
"It was just a dream. There are no signs, Finn. We're too different and we'll always be."
"So what are you saying exactly?" Finn wondered.
"I am saying that we are not meant to be together."
"No, don't do this" Finn told her.
"Get out, Finn!" Rachel bellowed at him.
And with that, Finn left her room sad while Rachel cried into her pillow.

"Come on, Hudson! I can't believe you're turning down box seats to the Cubs!" Sam urged Finn.
"I have a lot of work to do, sorry, Sam. I am not up for it."
"Well, then, get up for then, okay?"
Suddenly, a woman walked onto the premises and walked closer and closer to Sam and Finn.
"Finn Hudson?" she asked.
"That's me" he replied.
"Then these are for you. Sign here" she told him and handed him a manila envelope and a pad.
"What is this?" he wondered.
"Divorce papers. You have seven days to contest. Have a nice day!" and with that, the process server was off, leaving Finn startled.
"There you go, life sucks" Sam reassured him.
Jerusalem, Israel
Rachel is visiting her grandmother who lives there. She is telling her about her failed marriage.
"Savta, I had to do to it. It was the right thing to do."
"It's fear that betrayed you, Rachel, not your religion." Savta told her.
"I was just scared, that's all. But now I make my own life decisions." Rachel replied.
"You are selfish, my dear Rachel. You assume that you know better than love."
"Savta, I don't think that he would have left me if he had known that I was still pregnant."
"Rachie, you let yourself go. You let your heart get denied and you lied to the man that you truly love."

Finn is sitting in his office glaring at the divorce papers that he was just given and playing with his wedding ring. Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Finn Hudson" he said into the phone.
"Hi, Finn, it's Quinn! Is this a bad time"?
"Quinn Fabray, your timing is impeccable."
"Finn, I just found out what happened between you and Rachel and I just wanted to give you my condolences."
"Thanks, so what's up?" Finn asked.
"Listen, our families are going boating this weekend. Would you like to join us?"
Finn just sat there absent-mindedly for a second, but Quinn snapped him back into reality.
"Hello, Finn, are you still there?"
"You know what? You've got a date. See you on Saturday." And with that, he hung up his phone.

An older rabbi is standing in the sidewalk as Finn is making his way to the boating trip.
"You look lost" the rabbi told him.
"Excuse me?" Finn asked as he turned around to see the rabbi standing there.
"You look lost. There are signs to help you find your way."
Finn just walked away dumbfounded and made his way into the dock where Quinn, Burt and Carole were waiting.
"There you are!" Carole said as she saw her son walk closer to them.
Just then, a little girl got out of the boat she was riding in and walked off on top of the dock. The little girl's mother began calling her name.
"Rachel? Rachel? Come back here!" the mother instructed her daughter.
Suddenly, Finn got emotional as he realized that the rabbi was right. There were signs everywhere. He had to get his wife back and fast!
He walked up to Quinn, Burt and Carole and told them his mission. He was given their blessing and rushed off the dock.

"Rach? Rach?" he called her name as he entered their house. He looked everywhere for you and noticed her wedding ring on the coffee table. He picked up her ring and ran out of the house again.
He got in his car and drove all around Las Vegas until he realized the one place that Rachel could be. Her favorite place in the world was the Hoover Dam. He parked his car and walked around the dam until he spotted Rachel's long, brunette waving in the wind. She was sitting on the ledge like she was when she had told him that she was pregnant. She turned around when she saw Finn's car pull up.
"Finn Hudson? What the hell are you doing here?" she barked at him.
"I'm not giving you a divorce"
"You're too late!" she barked back.
"No, I still have till 12!"
"Finn, it's over. You can leave now." And she turned back around facing the dam.
He then walked over to where she was sitting and began to comfort her.
"I said its over" she reminded him.
"Rachel, there's something different about you. You're still pregnant! "
"I know!" Rachel barked again.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Finn asked her.
"Because I was afraid and besides, you lied to me about moving to Chicago, so I lied to you!"
"I know and I am so, so sorry. I love you, Rachel Berry. Don't you know what this means?"
"What?" Rachel asked him.
"We're going to have a baby!"
And he picked Rachel in his arms and they drove home together.

"Oh, no!" Finn glanced at his clock noticing that he didn't contest to the divorce.
"What is it?" Rachel asked.
"We're divorced" Finn replied
The next day, Finn and Rachel were married with their friends and family present.
"I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" and Finn grabbed his still pregnant wife and kissed her passionately.
"This wedding was so beautiful. I am glad that we got to see our little girl get married." Hiram told the newlyweds.
"Thanks, Mr. Berry. I promise to take real good care of your daughter and our baby."
"I know you will, son and its Hiram. Mr. Berry is my father."
Finn just chuckled at his father-in-law's comment and went on kissing his wife.

November 30, 2013 (Three months later) (AN: November 30 is my birthday, so I wanted Rachel to have her baby on that day .)
After their wedding, Rachel and Finn moved to Chicago, where Rachel decided on a new profession: teaching Glee club at an alternative high school there and Finn was hard at work on his new project: a new baby furniture store. He and Sam had quit their jobs with Schuester and opened up an architect business themselves.
Rachel was now a week overdue. She had become so moody that Finn could barely stand it. She was no longer working, which only added stress to Finn and Rachel's relationship.
"Babe, I have to work today, but I'll have my pager if you go into labor. Remember I love you and I'll be here faster than Superman can fly." And he kissed her on the cheek and headed to work.
"Hey Hudson, still no baby yet?" Sam asked Finn when he arrived at work.
"No, Sam, no baby yet. I am getting worried about her. She's a tiny person and I can only imagine what it's like for her right now."
"Relax, Finn, Rachel's brave. I am sure she'll do just fine."
"Thanks, Sam. Now let's get to work, shall we?" Finn asked Sam. Sam just shook his head and they went on putting the finishing touches to the countertops of the furniture store.
Finn walked outside and took a look of the name of the store: "Rachel's". He had the biggest smile on his face when he walked back into the store.

"Hudson, I think your pager's going off" Sam was trying to wake Finn up from a day's nap.
"What?"
"Your pager just went off. It's baby time!" Sam told him enthusiastically.
And with that, Finn grabbed his jacket and ran to his car.
"Can you tell me where Rachel Hudson is?" Finn asked the receptionist.
"Are you family of hers?" the receptionist asked.
"I'm her husband" he told her.
"Oh, she's in room 317. If you take the elevator upstairs and hang a right, it'll be the second door on the left."
"Thanks" and Finn was off to his wife's room.

"Alright, Mrs. Hudson, you're seven centimeters dilated. It'll just be a little longer." Her doctor told her.
Just then, Finn walked in.
"Can't start without me" Finn told his wife and he walked in and sat down. "How are you doing?"
"I'm at seven centimeters and I need to get to ten."
"Wow, I'm glad that I got here just in time." And he kissed her again.

"Mrs. Hudson, you're completely dilated. Are you ready to push?" Dr. Brooks asked her.
Rachel shook her head in agreement.
"Alright, on the count of three, I want you to push, ok?"
Rachel pushed and Finn looked down and saw the head.
"Oh my goodness, Rachel, I can see the head"
"That's it, Rachel, just a little more and you'll be a mother."
Rachel pushed a little more and Finn saw the doctor pull the baby out of Rachel.
"It's a girl!" Dr. Brooks exclaimed. "Congratulations, she's beautiful."
Finn looked over at his daughter and tears began to form in his eyes.
"Would you like to cut the cord, Dad?" Dr. Brooks asked.
"I would be honored"
Finn cut the cord and the baby was taken away to be wrapped up.
"Say hello to Mommy and Daddy" Dr. Brooks spoke gently to the baby and handed her to Rachel.
"What do you want to call her, Finn?"
"Katie" Finn replied.
"I like that name. Katherine Grace Hudson. It's perfect."
Finn grabbed the clipboard and wrote down his daughter's name and other information. Katherine Grace Hudson. November 30, 2013. 3:12pm.
"Katie, you're my little Katie bug." And he kissed Katie's head and fell asleep in the chair next to Rachel.

"Finn, what are you doing? Why are my eyes closed?" Rachel hated surprises. Today, Finn was showing Rachel his latest project.
"It's a surprise. You'll have to wait and see."
Finally, they arrived at Rachel's and he untied the blindfold from Rachel's eyes. Her eyes lit up when she saw her name on the furniture store.
"Did you name this for me?"
"Of course. You're my wife and I love you. This is my thanks for being a wonderful person and for giving me a beautiful baby girl." Rachel leaned in closer to Finn and kissed him. Then they walked hand-in-hand back home while pushing the stroller and they lived happily ever after.
The End
AN: I know the film didn't end like that, but I hate that they never tell the baby's name and besides, it's my story, so I can do what I choose with it. The last part was all me. Sorry if it seemed too fluffy, but I just love Finn and Rachel so much.
Thanks for all of your reviews. You are all awesome. I am working on another story "Second Chance" which I hope to post momentarily. Reviews are welcome! Much love, Stephanie
