Another chapter, I hope this past week hasn't been too rough for you all. My thoughts are with his family and those who knew him best, this story is my way of keeping Cory and his wonderful portrayal of Finn Hudson with us. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 5- Protecting my one

After Rach and I got back to Lima after our fantastic and romantic weekend away, life went on as normal. I was still working at the tire shop, Mom and Burt had become close and things between them were going well. Both Kurt and myself were very happy our parents had got together, they both deserved someone special after being alone for so long, Kurt told me his Mom died from cancer when he was only 8 years old.

Rach had been back at dance class a couple of times but was still only doing light stuff; we had numerous movie and karaoke nights with our glee mates, a couple of cookouts at the lake, and apart from Rach being hurt and the resulting court case that saw Quinn Fabray arrested, it had turned out to be a great summer.

But school was starting next week and as it was senior year I had to get serious, I was determined to get myself in top physical form. It was all happening for Rach and I, we have each other are very much in love, have an excellent group of friends, and our future is ahead just waiting to fulfil our dreams, life can't get much better than this.

Now Rach was fully recovered I reluctantly moved back to my house, it was going to be tough leaving her every night but after we talked about it we knew it was for the best, because the next year and the future meant we would hopefully be together every night. We texted and called for hours most nights, even skyped a couple of times a week so I guess it seemed like we were still together in the same house.

The first day of senior year arrived, I picked Rach up from home, and as soon as she jumped into my truck, she greeted me with a deep kiss that set my heart racing, and other things on the move ever since we made love I wanted her all the time, it was the same for Rach and it was difficult to find private time, but we managed a couple of times a week.

"Morning beautiful" I said and returned the kiss,

"Morning to you too handsome" she says, "are you ready for our last first day of high school?"

"As long as I get to spend it with you I'm happy" I said with another kiss to her soft pink lips.

We met our friends at school and walked to our lockers together Rachel's hand firmly clasped in mine. I had a couple of classes with Rach this year which I was very happy about, plus we had glee and lunch. Most of us had lockers close together as well which was great. The bell rang for first period so we all scattered to various parts of the school, with a quick kiss I left Rach to go to gym.

I told Coach Beiste about my intention to apply to N.Y.U and hopeful plans for the F.D.N.Y and wondered if she would help me with a fitness program, to get me on the right track for college. She said she would be more than happy to help me, and congratulated me on making such a decision. We worked out a plan that I could fit comfortably around my daily schedule. I still worked at the tire shop three afternoons a week and every second Saturday so it should be easy. I met Rach for lunch and we talked about our morning, I told her about Coach helping me and she was so proud of me planning for my future. I told her it was because of her I wanted to be a better man so I could support her in New York.

"Remember we have a wedding to plan." I whispered in her ear and she blushed a sexy pink.

"I can't wait" she whispered back and gave me a soft kiss on the lips. My face broke into the biggest smile making my dimples show up, I wrapped my arm around her just a little bit tighter.

Time went on as normal we were all busy with school, work and getting ready for sectionals in glee, Mr Schue was so happy, as this year another 5 kids joined some were freshmen, and sophomores which meant there would be enough members to carry on even when us seniors graduated.

I got home from work before mom one day a couple of weeks later and after checking the mail box I found a letter for me from the juvenile correction centre. I knew straight away who sent it but didn't want to open it without telling Rachel, I didn't want to have any secrets from her.

I called her on the phone, "Hi Rach, I need to talk with you about something important can I please come over now?

"Of course, baby my Dad's aren't home yet so we won't be disturbed."

"Ok I'll see you in 5 minutes, I love you." Rachel was waiting for me on the porch swing with a worried look on her pretty face. I gave her a deep kiss and we went upstairs to her room.

"Finn whatever is the matter." she says quietly and rubs the back of my hand, "You are scaring me."

"I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to, I just wanted to talk to you, I received this in the post today."

I pulled out the crumpled envelope and gave it to her with a shaky hand, when she saw the return address she let out a gasp and gripped my hand tightly.

"What does it say?'

"I don't know, I didn't want to open it without you, I wasn't going there again and if she did anything to you at all, even a phone call or text message she was going to be in trouble." With apprehensive looks on our faces I tore it open and held it between us.

15th September 2011

My Darling Finn,

When I get back in a week or so; we can pick things up again. I understand your confusion thinking you are attracted to that ugly gnome Manhands. But she will be gone from your life forever very soon. You know I will wait for you, because I know that you truly love me, and when I win prom queen this year, we will back on top where we belong. It will be the start of our perfect future. We will get married straight after graduation and start a family right away. I can already see you with a baby, and I can't wait. You will get a job in town and I will become a real estate agent after our first baby comes and while I am pregnant with our second. I will work part time; I want our children to be very close in age so they will always have company. I want 5 babies and I know you want that too. I have it all planned.

I will go now but just remember you and I belong together forever and nothing will ever get in the way to change that.

Mrs Quinn (Hudson)

"WHAT IS THIS FUCKING SHIT?" I jumped up off the bed, dragging my hands through my hair and shaking with rage, nearly knocking Rachel off onto the floor. "She has lost her freaking mind, there is no way in hell I am ever having sex with her to make one kid, let alone fucking five I am never getting back with her and what does she mean you will be gone for ever?"

"Finn, baby, calm down we have to take this to the police, she is obviously in denial about everything that has happened regarding you breaking up with her, but what is more worrying is the fact she seems to have no remorse about hurting me and it sounds like a threat to finish what was started with the accident."

"Ok Rach, yeah you're right of course, let's take this this to the Police and let them deal with it. But babe please promise me to keep away from her and try to have someone with you so you're never alone when I can't be with you, if anything happens to you again I don't know what I would do, I can't be without you."

I tried to express the depth my feelings, but I couldn't do much more than grab her in a tight hold as though she was going to disappear then and there.

"Oh, baby I can't be without you either." She sniffled through her own tears, trying to be strong for me, "I promise I won't go anywhere alone and will tell you straight away if I feel unsafe."

"Thankyou." I sobbed out and our lips met in a deep needy kiss, which preceded the union of our bodies, tightening the tether deep in our souls even more that promised to always be there for each other.

We arrived at the station and waited a few minutes until Detective Jackson was free.

"Hi kids, glad to see you all recovered Rachel, what can I do for you?" He asks with a smile, which dropped as soon as he opened the paper I handed to him "When did you get this?" his voice quiet.

"It came in today's mail, what can you do about it? Is Rachel in danger? How we can keep this crazy bitch away?"

I was getting very agitated; Rachel was trying to calm me down by rubbing my back.

"Baby it will be ok."

"But Rach, what if she hurts you again…" I murmured clutching her to my chest extra tightly.

"We have to let the police handle things now Finn."

I sighed and nodded my acceptance of her words and after Detective Jackson said the police would keep a close eye on HER. But to let him know immediately if we received any more letters or anything happened no matter what it was.

We thanked him, walking out hand in hand. By the time we got to Rachel's house her Dads were home and we explained what had happened.

"Mr. Berrys', I know you are her parents and love Rachel, I also know you would do anything possible to make sure she is safe, and I don't want to tell you what to do, but can I just say I'm not comfortable at all with the idea of Rach being alone at times especially as you are away a lot on business."

"Thank you, Finn, for that, and yes we are very concerned of course about our daughter's safety and in light of this new threat we would like you to move back in when we are away. Providing your Mother is ok with it, and you both promise to not take advantage of our absences and get lax with your school work, you both have a very important year coming up, and you will assure us and your Mother, that you will not spend the time engaging in unrestrained sex parties. However, all that aside you are adults now after all and have our trust, and we are so very grateful our baby girl has found someone who loves and cares for her as much as you do."

Their talk about sex parties and the idea that they were OK with us having a sexual relationship, made us both blush a little but at the same time happy they knew Rach and I are mature enough to handle being together in that way. I rang Mom straight away and explained the situation; she gave her consent and wanted to speak to Mr Berrys'.

While the adults were talking, Rach and I disappeared upstairs to make up my bed and stuff. I couldn't believe what had happened, how one person could create so much trouble. Quinn has completely lost her mind and needed some serious help, but nothing is going to stop me loving Rachel and from now on, I will be there with her all the time. When we returned down stairs we told Dads we were going to go over to my house to grab my stuff and on the way, we would call in at Mr Schue's place to tell him what was going on.

Things settled down as much as possible over the next few days, all the glee kids had been told what was going on and made sincere promises to not leave Rach alone at school. Detective Jackson rang to let us know that considering the new threats against Rachel. Quinn will be monitored closely, and he would be contacting Mr. Figgins to tell him that when she came back to school she was not allowed to be within 20 feet of Rachel, and her class schedule would need to be changed as well.

Everyone, especially Rachel, was extremely nervous about school on the Monday, SHE was due back. So, I tried to take Rach's mind off things a bit by organising a get together on Sunday night with all our friends at the bowling alley, we had a fun time with Rach bowling a couple of strikes, which naturally deserved a make out session as a reward. We took over the karaoke machine, ate greasy pizza and cheese fries. Some of the kids even had battles on the old pac-man and space invaders game consoles. Rachel seemed to forget her troubles and totally enjoyed just hanging out. By the time we got home we were falling asleep on our feet, so after a quick shower we tumbled into bed, Dads were away overnight on business, but instead of taking advantage of that to spend the night sexing my girl up, we just cuddled in each other's arms, and as soon as our heads touched our pillows we were asleep.

Monday morning, everyone assembled in the choir room to discuss the roster for Rachel watch. I was with her for the first two periods, Kurt, Mercedes and Tina the next two, all of us for lunch, Kurt, Blaine and Tina, the one after lunch and finally me for the last period. I know Rach was feeling a bit smothered but was thankful so many people cared about her so much, and fully understood the reason we were all doing this. The teachers had all been informed by Principal Figgins and the Police, about what had been going on and had all given the ok for us to do what was planned. We got through the day with no problems and relaxed a little. I didn't even get a glimpse of the bitch all day.

After we got home and did our homework Rachel mentioned it was nearly Halloween and we should have a party I told her thought it was a great idea and we should send out invites. We thought it would be fun if those of us who were a couple picked the costume for their partner.

She grabbed her phone and sent a mass text to everyone outlining our idea. Within 30 minutes everyone had answered in the affirmative and that they couldn't wait, we all decided to meet down town to find them, so to spend the next few days thinking of ideas. My mind was working overtime trying to think of an idea for Rach's costume, a loud "YES!" Left my mouth as I thought of it.

Rach jumped in shock and looked at me in a confused way.

I shook my head and smirked, "I just thought of what I want you to dress up as and before you ask no I'm not going to tell you."

The pout on her face and puppy dog eyes tempted me to give in, but I stood firm. "What are you going to make me wear babe?"

She just cheekily grinned back at me, "You will just have wait and see."

The rest of the week went ok, Rach and I found some time to be alone and made love. It was much more comfortable for her now; she didn't have any more pain so we could be a bit more adventurous and experiment with various positions. Our feelings for each other had intensified so deeply, the connection between us an unbreakable tether that nothing would ever separate.

A few of our friends met at the Lima Costume Palace on Friday, everyone was excited and jumping around, all talking at once about their choice of costumes, little did Rachel know I'd already been when she was at dance class with Tina to pick hers out and couldn't wait to see it on her, I told the assistant my name and he brought a black plastic garment bag over, I gave it to Rach, with a kiss on her cheek and gently pushed her towards the change rooms, smirking at the look on her face. A few minutes she came to stand behind me with an enormous beaming smile on her face.

"Hey, you" she says in a breathy voice.

I spun around to see the sexiest version of cat woman I had ever seen, she was covered in a skin tight black vinyl body suit with a pair of black satin ears and a long tail teamed with thigh high black stiletto boots, a mask that covered her face from forehead to just under her nose, and her hair flowing loose down her back. I mean, I know she is super sexy but I my mouth fell open and I couldn't speak I just stared at her. I had no idea when I chose that costume that it would look so damn good on her. I just grabbed her and carried her away to a corner of the shop and very nearly kissed the life out of her.

"You look amazing" I murmured against her neck, while kissing and nipping her pulse point, my body was clearly liking her new look as I tried to hide my excitement, do we really have to go to the party?" I mumbled.

She giggled at me in her magical voice and just wiggled out of my arms to dash over to the assistant's desk near the stand of costume orders, after a few minutes I'd calmed down and went to find her. The assistant was sorting through some garment bags and handed one to Rachel, a perverted leer on his face as he watched her, he was lucky I didn't punch him in the face, she grabbed it with a smile not noticing his attentions and thrust it into my arms; with a smack on the butt she pushed me towards the change rooms. I laughed out loud when I opened my bag she had picked a Batman costume complete with padded chest plate, tight lycra pants, the utility belt, mask and cape, it was another reason we were meant to be, our minds thought alike.

There was a week until our Halloween party, we had been extra busy after school organising food and decorations, everyone was so excited, they had all had a blast finding their costumes. We haven't had contact with Quinn either, only a few glimpses across the school yard, which was a great relief maybe she had got the message I wanted nothing to do with her. I hoped so anyway but I wasn't taking any chances and leaving Rach alone.

The program coach and I had worked out was really aiding me to increase my fitness level, it included weights, cardio and some distance running, which was laps around the football field. I had noticed a substantial change in my body, my abs were firmer, my arms and chest were more defined, and I just felt stronger and fitter.

I had arranged to do my fitness work when Rach was at dance with Tina or voice and piano lessons with Kurt, which meant I could focus more, because I knew she wasn't alone.

Rach was extremely happy with my new body shape, not that she wasn't before, but she had started to rub her little hands over my chest and biceps even more when we were cuddling. She kept telling me how sexy I was and how she couldn't keep her hands off me, all the time giving me little kisses all over my face and chest.

Saturday night arrived and the house looked amazing, we had a supply of candy for the neighbourhood kids that were sure to come around trick or treating, enough food and drinks to keep about 20 starving teenagers happy, and pumping music. It was going to be a fantastic night, about 7.30 people started to arrive, some of the costumes were so totally unexpected, there were robots, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Muppet's, TV characters, video game characters, Transformers, Star Wars characters, a couple of kids even made their own and said they were one off masterpieces. Everyone looked fantastic, as the night went on it was obvious that the party was a brilliant idea.

About 11o'clock I was just sitting in a corner happily watching Rachel, Mercedes and Tina dancing away to some silly duet that Kurt and Blaine were singing, trying to be heard over the loud music blasting from the karaoke machine. My eyes connected with Rach's the whole time…, when suddenly my lap is filled with a girl dressed in a skanky playboy bunny costume and mask, her hand immediately moving towards my groin caressing me.

"Hi Finn baby..." she says in a husky voice, her face close to mine whispering in my ear "I've missed you."

I instantly jumped up pushing her off my lap and on to the floor, yelling.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. OR ANYWHERE NEAR RACHEL HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE FABRAY?"

"I came for you Finn, you know you belong with me not that cheap ugly troll who is no good for you, you love me we can put all this silly Berry nonsense behind us and get on with our lives, you know she isn't worth your time and the sooner she is out of your mind and life the better it will be."

The music was turned off and people were just standing in shock watching what was happening, I rushed over to envelop Rachel in the safety of my arms and yelled out for Dads to call the police, they came rushing down stairs to find out what was going on. Rachel was sobbing into my chest and shaking so hard I thought she was going to fall to pieces.

When they saw Quinn being held down on the floor by Lauren, who was on the school wrestling team, Hiram immediately called Detective Jackson, he arrived within 10 minutes with a female officer, he apologised to Rachel and Mr. Berry's and steered a struggling and screaming Quinn out the door.

Everyone could hear her screaming out for me to help her, "I haven't done anything wrong all I was doing was spending time with my boyfriend who loves me, it's that ugly boyfriend stealing, bitch that should be arrested."

Poor Rachel was hysterical; she was sobbing and shaking so hard still, she could hardly breathe. I didn't know what to do I was crying myself though more with anger at how upset and scared Quinn had made Rach feel. Leroy took hold of Rachel and very, very gently slapped her face to stop her from passing out, she slowly calmed down enough to take a breath.

I wrapped her back into my arms and just held her tight murmuring, "I only love you Rach and am staying with you forever, please believe that everything will be okay." I kept moving my lips over her face trying to kiss away the fear.

The party folded soon after that as no one was in the mood now. The rest of the weekend went by with homework, cleaning up the basement and just hanging around the house.
