A/N: Hey all, a good amount of drama but I'm saving the shit-storm for the next chapter.

Enjoy the Hummel/Hudson/Berry Thanksgiving.

Chapter Seventeen

Rachel grabbed Finn's hand and rushed him up the stairs, "Sweetie," Carole called after her, "Are you okay?"

"Uh y-yeah, I just want to get cleaned up." Rachel stuttered out and quickly shut Finn's door where he stood a little dumbfounded.

"Are you okay, Rachel? You look super crazy right now." Finn said with a vacant and confused stare plastered on his face.

"Finn, my Dads are here. The first time they met you, you were macking on me in a crowded restaurant," Rachel spit at him in a whispered shout. "And now you are standing there shirtless with sex hair and they almost saw you, looking like that."

Rachel heard both her fathers greeting Carole and she sighed out and leaned against the door, letting her chest heave up and down as she attempted to calm herself. "Listen, this is good." Finn started, "I told you that you and I needed to see them before you left."

"But, I wanted to do it on my terms. You know, our usual thanksgiving. Chinese food and old movies." Rachel pouted and sat on Finn's bed, feeling around for her brush. She knew it was somewhere around here.

Finn grabbed the brush off the night stand and handed it to her before leaning down between her legs, "Rachel, I don't get why you're so upset. This will be great. We'll have more support here with Kurt and Burt and my Mom…"

Rachel ran the brush through her hair lightly, letting Finn's words calm her, "Okay, you're right. I know you're right." She sighed and handed Finn the brush, "But you look ridiculous. Please clean yourself up."

Finn laughed and rolled his eyes a little, "You're a little demanding."

"You're going to have to get used to it, unfortunately." She frowned a little.

Finn shook his head and took Rachel's face in his hands, "I'm not complaining." He promised her with a grin before kissing her nose and then either cheek and standing up. "Now get ready, Munchkin."

Rachel tried her best to get ready quickly but Finn beat her by at least a half an hour, instead of locking himself in his room like the awkward guy he desperately wanted to be, he decided to make his way downstairs to face the music. And his girlfriends fathers. Two Dads? That just evil.

"Hi guys." Finn said awkwardly, licking his lips quickly. It was a nervous habit that he really couldn't break. Kurt grinned and Carole waved and Leroy and Hiram nodded at him. Burt was the first one to speak.

"Where's our little diva?" He said still keeping one eye on the football game.

"Still getting ready." Finn shrugged awkwardly, "She's claiming that it's Kurts fault she's taking so long because he took all the hot water." Finn attempted a joke.

Kurt pursed his lips, "I did not, we can blame her 45 minute showers on her tardiness."

Leroy laughed, "I agree, Kurty." Kurty? "Her showers have always been a bit too long. I mean we almost broke the bank with the water bill when she was little. We used to have two water heaters."

Hiram nodded, "It's true, she needs more water heaters than a 40 room hotel."

All three men were staring at the football game and Finn desperately wanted to watch but didn't want to be sitting between the two Berry's so he made his way to the kitchen, "Do you need help, Mom?"

"Don't be ridiculous, sweetie. Kurt and I have it. I know you want to watch the game. It's the Colts." Carole grinned.

"That's the Chargers." Finn corrected her, confused.

"Oh well, both have blue uniforms." Carole giggled and Kurt smiled at his step mom.

Blaine made his way into the kitchen and nodded at Finn and Kurt brightened up at the sight of him.

"It's okay, Carrie. I don't know any of the teams name." Kurt comforted her and Finn looked between the two with his eyes bugged out.

"Uh, did I miss something?" Finn choked, "Carrie?"

"Well Finn, that is a perfectly acceptable nickname for Carole." Kurt explains in his know-it-all tone.

Carole grins at Kurt, "And I love it. It makes me feel like I'm in Sex and the City."

Finn's eyes grew wider, "Who are you and what have you done with my mother?"

Carole laughed and shrugged, "I know I was never the girly-est of girls but Kurt brings it out in me. He's like the daughter I never had."

Kurt couldn't help but laugh, "Oh Carole, you are the perfect step-mother."

Suddenly Leroy shouted from the living room, "Rachel! Sweetie!" He came running up to her and wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace, "It's been too long, baby. I hope you don't mind us being here. Carole insisted."

Carole nodded, "It's true. I did."

Finn felt a little sick to his stomach, two Dads, Hiram made his way to hug Rachel as well, "How is everything, baby?" It became extremely apparent to Finn that she had not yet discussed the move with them.

"You guys are acting like I haven't seen you in a decade." Rachel laughed, "I've just been at Santana's." Rachel lied through her teeth and Finn didn't like how easily it came. "Besides last night, I stayed here." Rachel stuttered out.

Leroy and Hiram exchanged a glance, and Leroy looked Rachel up and down. She was in a white sweater dress that accented her curves very well. Finn made his way to Rachel's side to awkwardly put his arm around her, "We're so glad you came." Finn stammered out and gulped as soon as he finished.

Hiram barely looked at Finn, "Well anything to spend the holidays with our baby girl."

Finn breathed out a sigh, "Well," he looked down at Rachel, "Why don't you go to the living room with your Dads. Dinner will be done soon."

Rachel nodded and pulled him into a hug after Leroy and Hiram started to make their way back to their seats, "Breath, baby." She whispered.

Finn nodded and pulled away, running his hand through her hair, "You look amazing."

"Go help your mother cook since you're kicking me out of the kitchen because you're too much of a scaredy cat to go watch football with my Dads." Rachel demanded.

Finn shook his head furiously, "I'm not scared."

Rachel lifted on eyebrow, obviously not buying it, "Fine, I'm terrified." He looked back at his Mom, "But you're right. I should get over it. Go help her, you're better at this stuff then me."

Rachel laughed, "That coming from the man that makes me dinner every night."

"PB&J isn't exactly the same and Thanksgiving dinner." Finn reminded her and he braved his way into the living room.

Finn took a breath before sitting down, "Who's winning?" He said as nonchalantly as he could muster.

"Chargers." Burt growled.

Finn nodded and sat down a comfortable distance away from the couple, "Who do you guys root for?"

Leroy turned and attempted to smile at Finn, "Hiram roots for the Browns, I don't really pay attention." The four men stared at the TV for what seemed like an eternity and Finn just couldn't get into the game. They couldn't blame him for Rachel and Jesse's divorce forever could they.

"So, Finn." Hiram started, "Jesse told us he ran into you. How was that?"

Finn coughed in surprised and Burt turned his attention to the trio of men with a concerned look, "You saw Jesse?"

"On Halloween." Finn admitted. "He came to the door with some kids."

"His nephews." Leroy informed Finn.

"You guys still talk?" Finn asked in confusion.

Leroy and Hiram nodded, "We see him more than we see Rachel. He comes over for Friday dinners."

Finn's mouth dropped, "I've been t-telling Rach we need to go see you guys."

"But, you've been busy in LA and New York from what I hear." Leroy grinned, he seemed like her wanted to learn more about Finn but Hiram cut him off.

"Well why don't you tell us why you screamed at our son-in-law on the phone the other day, first?" Hiram questioned and Finn's mouth went dry.

"I think I need a drink…" Finn stood up, "Of water." He tried to clear up any confusion and began to head out of the room.

Burt cleared his throat, "You know, Mr. and Mr. Berry I know this is a rough time for you two but you're being a little hard on my boy Finn." His boy? Burt was calling him 'his boy'? "It takes two to tango and Rachel obviously wasn't happy. And from what I understand it's Jesse who is holding up the divorce."

"Well, he doesn't want to give up on her." Leroy explains, "Which I think is really romantic."

Finn turned, "It's not romantic if it's not what she wants." Finn said in a tone barely above a whisper.

"Gentlemen" Finn heard Kurt from behind them, "This isn't an appropriate conversation. Rachel is in here slaving away at your dinner and you're speaking about her as if she's not there."

"Of course they know I'm here." Rachel shouts, "They just don't care."

Rachel stomps into the room and past Finn to look at her fathers, "Dad, Daddy." She addresses Leroy and Hiram separately, "I'm not a little girl anymore." She states firmly, "I know you're disappointed. I know Jesse was all you ever wanted and more in a son-in-law. He would watch musicals with Daddy and teach Dad how to dance. Not to mention he knew how to cook and always offered to pay. Perfect gentleman. I know." Rachel was scolding them, her finger pointing and flailing every which way. "But, he didn't make me happy. Not like Finn makes me. Truth is, I screwed up. I shouldn't have married him in the first place. I knew something was missing. Jesse was another one of my mistakes, along with staying here instead of leaving the state to go college and not following my dreams..." Finn grabbed Rachel's hand in support and she looked at him with sad eyes, "I know I screwed up, but don't take it out on Finn. Because he is not a mistake"

Leroy and Hiram sat with blank faces for a moment until Leroy broke the silence, "You're right, baby girl." He nodded before looking at Burt and then up to Carole, "We shouldn't have intruded on your Thanksgiving."

Carole shook her head, "Don't be silly. We're glad to have you. It wouldn't be a real Thanksgiving without someone shouting, right? Whether it be over football plays or divorces."

Rachel and Finn both laughed awkwardly and Hiram stood and extended a hand to Finn, "I'm sorry, son. I don't even know you. I shouldn't have been so rude."

"It's fine, Mr. Berry." Finn said to the man Rachel called 'Dad' and then turned to Rachel's 'Daddy' who was now standing up, "Thank you for coming. I'm so glad to get the chance to get to know you better."

Leroy pulled him into an unexpected hug and he breathed out what almost seemed like a sigh of relief. Rachel turned to her Dad and mouthed a silent 'Thank you' to him and he just nodded.

The rest of the day seemed to pass with ease, Finn told the Berry's all the intimate details of his life including his income which he hadn't yet shared with Rachel. Kurt's mouth just about dropped off it's hinges.

"Why do you live in that tiny apartment?" Rachel asked suddenly, forgetting her company.

"It's not tiny." Finn laughed taking a bite of his turkey. "It's medium."

"Well, that is a good question, Finn." Carole poked Finn with the end of his fork playfully.

Finn looked around the table awkwardly, "Well, when we all got a good amount of money Blaine, Puck and Sam got a house and I didn't want that. I wanted cheaper rent so I could continue to send money back home. And I guess I've just stayed there. I like it there."

Blaine nodded, "Finn was pretty die-hard about making sure his Mama was doing okay."

Rachel grinned widely, "That's really sweet."

Finn smiled at her and felt her hand caress his thigh and looked over at Carole who was wiping her eyes and Kurt sniffling as well. "What did I say?"

"Finn," Carole uttered, "You didn't have to do that."

Finn shook his head, "Mom, that's why I did it. To give you a different life, a better life."

Carole gave Finn a proud smile, "Well, now you go get your better life."

Finn bit the inside of his lip and put his arm around Rachel, "I'm working on it."

Leroy and Hiram exchanged a look and a smile and Rachel scrunched her nose in utter excitement, "You're such a cheese ball." Rachel nudged into him.

Finn kissed her forehead lightly and returned to eating as did everyone else. After dinner and a accidental group nap in the living room Hiram and Leroy made their way home, shaking Finn's hand formally and giving Rachel a great big hug. She promised them she would come see them next week and they promised her they would try to stop talking to Jesse.

Afterwards Finn made himself a sandwich with the leftover meat and Rachel cringed as she watch him eat it. Blaine and Kurt flirted throughout the day and that evening was no exception.

"Kurt, you should come to the movie." Blaine insisted with a smile.

"Oh I couldn't intrude." Kurt said with a grin that said he very well could intrude.

Rachel rolled her eyes, "It's not intrusion and you know it. Just come."

Kurt jumped and clapped his hands, "I'll go get ready."

Everyone watched him walk out and Blaine chuckled a little, "Dude," Finn pushed Blaine a little, "Now I know why you never date. You're into dudes."

Blaine's eyes shot up to Finn, "Don't tell the guys."

"Why?" Rachel laughed.

Blaine sat down in frustration, "I don't want them to be weird about it."

Finn shook his head, "They aren't going to be weird, dude. They love you. I can't imagine them not supporting you."

Blaine looked down, obviously contemplating, "It's just weird because I live with them, and I don't want to think anything of it. Plus, I don't want to bring down the band's rep."

Rachel grabbed Blaine's hand, "Listen Blaine, no one is forcing you to come out. Do it in your own time." She gave him an encouraging grin and he nodded softly.

"Just don't tell anyone." Blaine asked, "At least not yet."

Finn and Rachel agreed and Kurt made his way down the stairs.

"I'm ready for the movie." Kurt grinned from ear to ear.

Finn pursed his lips, "Well, first we have to meet Puck and Sam for coffee at the Lima Bean." He frowned, "To discuss this whole Quinn bullshit."

Rachel had almost forgotten and her faced showed it, "Do Kurt and I really have to be there?"

Blaine nodded, "You're a part of this Rachel, you're in Finn's life and you were there for the reveal. Like it or not, you're a part of the Four Play family."

"And we need Kurt as an outside viewpoint." Finn added.

Kurt shrugged, "Hey, you won't see me complaining. I love drama as long as it's not mine."

The group laughed and made their way into the cold to meet Sam and Puck. Everyone having knots in their bellies.

"This is going to suck." Finn grumbled.

"It's going to be the absolute worst." Blaine agreed.

"I can't believe I'm letting you guys drag me to this shit-storm." Rachel pouted.

Kurt grinned, "Not only did Rachel Berry just say shit, but I'm about to go watch four grown men duke it out. I'm stoked!"

Everyone shook their head and laughed at Kurt and continued on their way.

Here we go…

What did we think? Review! :)
