Finally, the day we were leaving Lima and the only home we had ever known had arrived. Our parents all gathered at Mom and Burt's house about 5: am. Rach and I were to travel in my truck, leaving Kurt and Blaine to drive Kurt's navigator. After many hugs and a few more tears we were on our way, it was about a ten-hour drive from Lima to New York. We had decided to swap drivers about 4 hours into the drive, then I would take over for the last leg, we kept in touch with each other via text, the drive was uneventful Rach and I sang along to the radio and talked about all sorts of things. The scenery changed slowly from farm lands to bigger towns and by about 3pm we were somewhere near New Jersey.

We remembered from when our glee club came for regionals, where the takeout places who delivered near our loft were. We knew no one would be interested in unpacking and cooking anything after the long drive. All we wanted to do was be make up a bed on the blow-up camping mattresses and sleeping bags and collapse into them.

We made it to our loft about 4.30pm and were lucky enough to be able to park right near the lift from the parking garage to our floor, we decided to unpack the trailers tonight as they had to be returned to the hire yard depot by 8am the next morning, and after introducing himself as Paul, the doorman lent us a couple of movers trolleys which meant we could take about 8 boxes each trip, before long we had the trailers empty and left attached to our trucks for delivery in the morning, while Blaine and I shifted the boxes Kurt and Rach unloaded the stuff from the cars, 2 hours later all our stuff is stacked in piles on each side of the smaller spare room.

Before Rach and I walked in for the last time, I told her to wait "What's the matter Finn?"

"I have to carry you over the threshold" I picked her up bridal style and carried her giggling and smiling widely, through the doorway and as I put her back on her feet, I kissed her deeply and whispered into her lips. "Welcome home baby I love you"

She returned my kiss with one of her own and declared, "I love you too always and forever, faithfully."

Blaine tried to do the same as me and lift Kurt, but Kurt is pretty much the same size as him and was squirming that much due to Blaine touching his ticklish ribs he gave up and just threw him over his shoulder instead and said. "Welcome to our new home babe."

"B-Blaine Anderson … you goof, put me down before the neighbors think we are strange, and decide not to help us out if we need a cup of sugar or milk any time Rachel bakes her famous sugar cookies."

The four of us started laughing and then took each other's hands and in one automatic show circle action called out, "1…2…3… Welcome to New York Finchel and Klaine Yay!"

We had a ball the next few days organising the loft and deciding what furniture we wanted, Blaine and I just went along with it all my only stipulation was both the bed and couch were long enough for me to stretch out on fully. Kurt and Rach had made a list of the important things for the lounge/dining room, the loft came with a double door fridge/freezer combo and there was a big laundry room down stairs, so we didn't have to worry about buying those items. We decided to go furniture shopping on Thursday, Rach was very excited saying she felt like a real grownup now buying stuff for our first home. I had to admit I was happy about it too, her happiness rubbed off. We finally found the bed we liked after the third store we went to, it was a king size with nicely carved head and foot ends, and it came with matching side tables and dresser. I had to laugh out loud when Rach and I lay down to try it out, because poor Rach being so tiny looked lost, next to me. She was looking at me weirdly until I explained why I was laughing, she let loose a giggle and slapped my arm saying it's not her fault I am a giant. The next stop was the couch department; luckily, we all agreed pretty much straight away on two extra-long, dark brown suede ones. We also got matching ottomans, coffee and lamp tables and a couple of sets of book shelves. The dinning setting was a 6-seat wooden one with nice carving on the chair backs and table legs, we also picked up an extra half dozen folding chairs. All our new furniture was to be delivered that afternoon, so we finished our shopping with sheets and stuff and went home to wait. After arranging our new furniture and organising things, everyone was happy with the division of space in the living area.

We were also busy getting things for college in order, we had made plans to have a tour of our schools, Rach and I went to Columbia and checked out the sports centre, I had been reading the course catalogue and was trying to work out what other subjects to pick, I wanted to give myself the best chance for admittance to F.D.N.Y. Rach and I had discussed the options at length and I finally decided on health and fitness and sociology. As well as football, I managed to fit in a part time music course. I wanted to keep music in my life; after all it has given me the most special thing in my life, my beautiful Rachel. I was confident in being able to manage my new timetable comfortably and still have Rachel time. I was very happy I didn't have to live in on campus as many freshmen did. Rachel was happy with her classes too; she had met a couple of her new professors at the recent open day. I was amazed by the size of the auditorium and dance practice rooms, she was lucky as well to live off campus.

The first day of college was filled with nerves and excitement, Rachel made sure us guys were up in plenty of time so we could all have a decent breakfast together, we didn't all have the same timetable but a couple of days a week we could all have breakfast together. We made our way to the subway my arm wrapped around Rach's waist; the sidewalk was so busy I didn't want her to get trampled, I felt very protective of her as she was so tiny I needed to know she was safe when I wasn't around. The days my classes started at a different time, Kurt and Blaine would be there to walk with Rach. The 10-minute walk to the subway was filled with excited chatter about we could expect. Kurt and Rachel's stop was first so with a deep kiss and a pout we said goodbye, wishing each other a good day and see you at home. Blaine's stop was next so we just spent the couple of minutes chatting about random stuff; I wished him a good day and would catch him later.

My first impression of the Columbia campus was 'WOW!', I know I'd seen the outside when we came for glee and Rach and I had had a quick tour of the sports centre, but to actually be inside was fantastic, I made my way to the sports centre and was amazed by the size. It was huge, as I was here on a football scholarship I wanted to take full advantage of all the gym and fitness facilities. I met my new coach, in the first class and had to try and hold back a chuckle as he introduced himself as Coach McKinley. I thought Rach and the guys would find it amusing that we come all the way to New York for school and are able to find little reminders of Lima. He seemed cool, a little tough like coach Beiste back home but helpful. He was pleased to hear about my fitness schedule that Beiste and I had been working on, and was happy to guide me further to gain peak physical condition.

My other classes went ok, the introduction to music class was heaps of fun the teacher, introduced himself as Will Perry and looked like a rock star, he was dressed in tight fitting jeans, a KISS, band t-shirt, and leather vest. His slightly greying hair was in a long ponytail, it was hard to believe he was a teacher at all. We spent the first half of class introducing ourselves and giving a 5- minute demo of our musical talent. I offered to go first and was really surprised the way his face lit up when I mentioned I had been in glee club in high school and been part of the winning national show choir team that preformed in Los Angeles last year, and that I also played the drums. I jumped up and asked the piano dude to play Don't Stop Believing. I turned back to the class and explained that this was the first song I'd ever played and sang along with at my very first glee club meeting, how glee had changed my life and that journey was one of my all-time favourite bands. I pulled my autographed sticks from my back pack, made my way to the kit and lost myself in the music.

Will joined in on the last verse, and was clapping wildly with such an awestruck look on his face, he came over and clapped me on the shoulder and put his hand up for a high 5.

"Man! That was freakin awesome dude, Finn are you really sure you want to play sports?"

I laughed "Well yeah I am here for football but wanted to keep the music in my life somehow, cause without it I would have stayed the typical sports jock, and missed out on meeting the love of my life and now fiancée."

''Oh, did she come here too."

"No, she goes to NYADA."

"Wow she must be good!"

"She is the best." I returned to my seat and listened as a few other kids got up and did their thing.

One guy Sam Evans, was kick ass on Bass guitar and another Mike Chang, was a boss on the keyboards, they both seemed like cool guys and reminded me of Puck a little the way they got right into the music, I hoped maybe we could be buddies. The rest of the day was ok we went over the course outline in Sociology and it all sounded very interesting, Health and fitness was spent divided between the class room and the gym. I was looking forward to those classes as we got to try out different machines.

We all finished class at different times so the house rule was, the first one home made a start on dinner, today it was my turn, so with the stereo blasting some classic 80s rock. I made a start on the sauce for the meatballs, I even made some of the special vegetarian ones for Rach.

It was about 5:30 when the others started to arrive home. Rach found me in the kitchen at the sink washing the salad vegies, and greeted me by jumping into my arms, wrapping her legs around my waist, her boobs pressed against my chest. I was taken by surprise and automatically grabbed her butt with my wet hands squeezing it, as her lips crushed against mine and her little hands tangled in my hair.

"Hi" I said breathlessly when we broke for air.

"Hi to you too I missed you, how was your day?"

"Well I missed you too but feel free to greet me like this every time you come home" I said with a smirk and kissed her again a bit softer this time while running one wet hand up her back and under her shirt, I found a ticklish spot and it made her squirm against the bulge forming in my jeans.

"Finny what are you doing mister? The others will be home soon so there's no time for that" she says as she slides down my body making me groan.

"You started it, you little tease just you wait missy."

"I'm going to shower" she says flipping her hair over her shoulder and walking away with a teasing smile. I laughed and chased after her making her squeal when I grabbed her around the waist, spun her around and pressed her back against the hallway wall, to plant a kiss on her laughing mouth, she melted into the kiss and was just about to rip my shirt off, pulling a moan from me as her hands slid up my chest, when we were interrupted.

Kurt and Blaine had just arrived home and walked into the kitchen to see what was for dinner and what all the squealing was about.

"OH MY GOD, MY EYES" Kurt shrieks and slaps a hand over his eyes.

"Kurt, stop it, calm down babe" Blaine laughs grabbing his hand and pulling him away towards the living room.

"Um... yes well I'd better let you get on with dinner, I need to shower she says blushing"

I pouted and said, "I was missing all the fun, being stuck in the kitchen slaving away."

She giggled at me again and kissed me softly while rubbing my groin and with a cheeky look and whispered, "Later baby I promise."

I took a deep breath to calm down and watched her skip away to the bathroom shaking my head. I turned back towards the kitchen just as Kurt and Blaine wandered back in, they set the table and we made small talk while waiting for Rach. Over dinner everyone gushed about their day, they all laughed when I told them about Coach McKinley and Will my music teacher, it was great being with my beautiful fiancée and 2 best friends sharing our day, my life could not get much better.

Time moved on, we had all settled into the college routine and found our rhythm, it was hard work but mostly very enjoyable just the same. Rachel was exhausted on dance class days; she said her teacher Miss July, was a horrible bitch because nothing Rach did was ever good enough, Rach said she picked on her more than any other student but was determined to not let the woman, get her down. All her other teachers liked her and said that Rach showed a lot of promise and she was very talented.

Thanksgiving was in about a month and Rach and I wanted to have our parents out to visit for the holiday and spend it with us in our new home, as well as run some wedding ideas past them. We had decided on June in Central Park for our wedding, we both agreed to call our parents and organise them to come to New York. I had a free half day so I thought I'd call Mom.

"Hello Honey, how are you and my lovely daughter to be?"

"We are both fine Mom" Rach is as beautiful as ever, really busy but happy." I said chuckling, "Kurt and Blaine are good too, listen Mom we wanted to have you guys out here for Thanksgiving, do you think you can make it? We also have ideas for a June wedding we want to run by you guys."

"Oh, Honey that sounds great, tell Rachel I'll bring the dress designs and other stuff I've been collecting. I can't wait to see her and discuss things, it's all so exciting, a summer wedding oh my, it sounds just perfect."

I could just see her putting her hand over her heart and the excited look on her face. ''Ok cool mom, talk to you soon, love you."

"Bye sweetheart, love to the boys, and give Rachel a big kiss and a hug from me."

I laugh and promise her I will "Bye mom."

Dads were very excited to come out for the holiday and organised with Mom and Burt to catch the same flight the day before Thanksgiving and had booked rooms in a hotel just down the block, everything was going to plan. Kurt and Rach had organised the food, and were busy working out the cooking timetable for the day. Two days before Thanksgiving, Rachel was running around our loft cleaning everything and panicking in case our parents thought we were not coping, I told her they won't think that at all but she was determined to have the loft sparkling. She didn't ask for help but I pitched in anyway earning a hot make out session afterwards.

When we all sat down to dinner it was just like being back home it had only been a couple of months since we'd seen them, but time fell away and it felt just like last year's dinner perfect, surrounded by the people we love, Blaine's parents were unable to make it, which disappointed him a bit, instead he was looking forward to going home for Christmas and catching up with them then, but as he is like another brother now anyway it all worked out. Kurt and Rach did a wonderful job with the food, they even had a very small tofu turkey, Mom was very impressed and the beam on their faces was bright enough to light the city. I was so proud of Rach and gave her a look across the table that showed just how I was going to thank her later, she blushed and smiled that smile that lets me know she understands what I mean.

The rest of the evening was great we all caught our parents up on what was going on at school; they also had a chuckle at my teacher's names. They in turn told us all the Lima gossip, there was a bit of news from our friend's parents, who said everyone was well and settled happily in their respective colleges. I nodded and continued to eat happily thinking of the party we could have when we were all home over the Christmas break, until Mom quietly mentioned she had received another three letters, Dads also mentioned about the four letters that had been delivered to their home, but both sets of parents had taken them straight to Det. Jackson, without even looking at them. I just swallowed my mouthful and with an annoyed look on my face, and continued to eat I reached my foot under the table to rub Rach's leg, letting her know it will all be ok, and changed the subject to ask what everyone was planning on for Christmas this year.

Mom caught me, in the kitchen later while we were doing the dishes and apologised for bringing the letters up when everyone was so happy but it was troubling her that the letter sending nonsense was still going on. I hugged her and said "not to worry about it as Rach and I were not letting the crazy get to us anymore, we were just too happy with our life and future plans to spend any more time worrying about HER, we are very comfortable with our relationship and trust each other to always be here for one another, Rach knows I am in love with her and her only and will never leave her and I know she feels exactly the same way about me, we wouldn't be planning to get married in 7 months at our age, if either of us were unsure of our feelings."

"I know honey and I am so proud and happy for you both, I just worry about Rachel if that horrible Quinn girl decides to come after her again, she will be out of jail before your wedding and if she hears anything about it and does something to hurt either one of you or tries to spoil your day, she will have to deal with me."

"Mom," I say with a chuckle "Please don't worry, anyway Det. Jackson is invited and if there is any problem I'm sure he will help deal with it, now enough of that sort of talk." I push on her back gently, "go and talk colours and flowers and stuff with my gorgeous girl and Kurt, while I make some coffee."

When Mom left the kitchen, I was thinking about everything I had said to her, it was true Rach and I were through letting that crazy blonde bitch hurt us and try to get me back, there was no way in hell I was ever leaving Rachel she made me complete. I carried the tray of coffee and tea, and added some of Rach's special star shaped sugar cookies, into the living room and made contact with a pair of beautiful deep brown eyes and knew that's where my heart was; I winked at her and sent her my dimpled half smile. The evening continued with everyone, all happy and contented being with the ones they loved, as well as filled to overflowing with a fantastic dinner. By about 9:30 our parents decided it was time for bed and started to gather their things, I watched as Rach walked into the spare room to get all the coats and scarves and noticed Mom with a worried look on her face follow her.

"Rachel dear I want to apologise for bringing up the letters bu.." but is cut off by Rachel, placing her tiny hand with her ring sparkling, on her shoulder.

"Mom please don't worry about it, it is not your fault, there's nothing she or anyone else can do ever to stop me from loving Finn, we are very secure in our love for each other, and anyway even if she does somehow hear about our wedding, and tries to object there is no place in the Jewish service where the Rabbi asks for objections. Just because she is unhappy with her life and has the insane idea it is somehow my fault, does not give her the right to try and spoil our special day. Finn and I are each other's one!"

"Now enough of those negative thoughts. Tomorrow, us and Dads are going to look at booking our favourite spot in Central Park, will you come? I'm so very excited and happy to be able to share this special time with you, I have considered you my mother for a while now, I hope you don't mind."

"Oh, darling thank you, of course I would love to come, I'm honoured you think of me that way. You know as soon as Finn introduced us I knew you were the one for him and have felt that you've been the daughter I never had and I am more than proud for you to call me Mom."

Rachel was wiping her cheeks to catch her own slowly falling tears, and as firmly as possible wrapped her arms around Mom's waist and placed a kiss on her cheek, with a whispered thank you. I came in to see my two favourite women hugging and Mom with tears in her eyes.

I asked softly "If everything was ok?"

"Yes baby, everything is just perfect we were just having a girl moment." Rach says pulling away from Mom to wrap her arms around my arm and stretch up on her tippy toes to kiss my cheek.

After we had seen our parents to a cab and wished the boys a good night Rach and I made our way to our room to get ready for a shower and bed, before I could get the bathroom door opened, I was hit by a tiny brunette torpedo and toppled against the door frame, where she firmly attached her lips to mine and pushed her warm tongue against my bottom lip asking for entrance, I didn't resist and parted my lips to twist our tongues in a passionate tangle, my hands gripped her waist as she jumped slightly to wrap her legs around my hips and lock her ankles together, her hands reaching around my neck to tangle in my hair, fingers brushing over the chain under my collar.

"Oh, baby girl" I puffed out, "what has got into you? Not that I am complaini…" my words are cut off as she plants another deep kiss on my mouth and starts to rub her core against my growing hardness.

"I want you Finn Hudson right now please!"

"Ok then, who am I to refuse a request from the most beautiful woman in the world, who luckily for me happens to also be the one and only love of my life."

"Instead of telling me, why don't you show me how much you love me then."

I kissed her again and turned around to open the bathroom door and stumbled through to turn on the shower, while the water was heating, I sat Rach on the counter top and unwrapped her arms from my neck, lifting her sweat top and t-shirt off in one go, I placed soft butterfly kisses along her neck rubbing against the chain and twin hearts that sat between the base of her throat and the swell of her perfect breasts, down her soft shoulder placing a lingering kiss over the scar and muttered a soft "beautiful" until my lips found her breast hidden from me by its satin cage. I suckled her through the material while making eye contact, her moans and soft noises making my heart skip and my pants feel three sizes too small.

"Oh baby, so good I love you Finny so, so much."

My hands slowly made their way around to unclasp her bra and pull it away from one of my favourite parts of Rach. She was trying to pull my top off and was making cute frustrated noises until I stood up to help her. As she exposed my stomach and chest, she placed her own little kisses in a hot trail until her puffy lips made contact with my nipple and sucked, moving off momentarily to place a small kiss on the silver pendant hanging off the chain around my neck. Her soft lips moving slowly upwards, leaving a moist trail of soft kisses, over my chest and up to my right bicep, lingering on the shiny pink scar, the tiny fingers on her righthand combing through the hair covering my chest, rubbing my other nipple, and her left hand finding its way to the buckle on my jeans, and trying to undo it one handed.

By this time the bathroom was full of steam and was not the only thing heating up, I reluctantly pulled away and finished undressing both myself and my love, then picked her up, adjusted the water temperature and stepped in closing the shower door. I turned Rach around so her back was pressed against my front, my throbbing rock-hard dick pressed into her back, as soon as we were under the spray, I reached for the sponge and her favourite vanilla body wash and started to move the soapy sponge in slow circles over her tummy and up to her breasts, my mouth finding the magic spot on her neck, sucking until I had left a mark then running my tongue over to soothe it. Rach had reached her hands behind and gripped my hard member, running her soapy hand up and down my length and over the tip, my breathing was becoming ragged, and I was nearly ready to explode.

"Oh, baby girl I need you so bad."

"Yes, Finny now please, I lifted her arms to press her palms flat against the tiles, her back arching forward a little making her perfect butt rub against me, and slammed into her tight slick channel making her scream my name, "FINN, OH GOD BABY."

I thrust my hips into her, while trying to keep hold of her perfect, slippery body, she was matching me thrust for thrust, our bodies moving in perfect rhythm, we were both panting, and the moans leaving our throats echoed off the tiled walls, until we reached our peak screaming each other's names, we fell over the edge and came as one, gasping for breath whispering our love while our lips found the others and kissed deeply, we held on, still connected until our breathing and heart rate returned to normal.

The water had gone cold, so we got out and I wrapped her fluffy pink robe around her soft warm body grabbing a towel to wrap her hair in, leaving a kiss on her damp flushed cheek, found my own towel draping it around my hips, picked her up bridal style and carried her to our bed, where we snuggled together as close as possible and losing ourselves in a contented sleep.
