"Gather round..." He began
"7 years ago, Finn had just finished college in LA, opened Hudson Records, he had just signed Beyonce and his life was was going amazingly.
Rachel had just graduated from Julliard and had been offered a role in Wicked. Obviously she took it, other wise she wouldn't be the phenomenon she is now. Finn was moving to New York and they had put the deposit down on their dream apartment. But what most of you don't know is that one night Finn took Rachel on a date that he made sure mirrored their date in New York at Nationals perfectly. They were in Central Park and he proposed, you know like a proper gentleman, down on one knee, a GORGEOUS, VERY expensive ring in hand and of course she said yes; they were in love, why wouldn't she? But after she said yes, she told Finn she was pregnant, not very far gone, but there was a baby growing inside her and Finn was ecstatic! Rachel, not so much. She wanted to have an abortion because she didn't want to give up her chances on broadway and Finn was heartbroken. He'd always wanted kids and to have them with Rachel made the scenario 100% better... After many arguments, tearful phone calls and make ups we convinced her that keeping the baby would be for the best but 2 weeks before her due date she came home crying that she couldn't be a mother and whether he liked it or not she was given their baby up for adoption... They named her Daisy and she was given to a couple in their late 30's who were unable to have kids... And slowly but surely, they fell apart. They started arguing about it non-stop and it was horrible... They didn't tell anyone, other than their bosses, parents and us... Finn carried on, pretending nothing had happened and keeping the worst years of his life a secret, Rachel doing the same. Finn adored Rachel and he felt like she had just thrown their future and his heart away... But Rachel didn't mean to, she was just scared and today is Daisy's 6th birthday, and I know they're both hurting..."
XxX
"Finn?" a small voice echoed through the boys toilets as Rachel poked her head through the door
"Finn, I'm so-so sorry... I was just scared, I was young and immature..."
"That doesn't make up for what you did Rachel" Finn muttered as he brushed his face with his hands
"Do you think I don't regret my actions? Regret ruining our family? Destroying our future? I loved you Finn... Well no, I still love you... And the thought of our little girl out there calling another man "dad" and another woman "mum" kills me. I've always wanted a family with you Finn... I should never have let that opportunity slip through my fingers... If I could turn back time my name would be Mrs Rachel Hudson and Daisy would be bugging us to go home right now... I'm so sorry Finn..."
Silence.
Finn's large hands ran through her soft, brunette hair as he pulled her close and her lips towards his, planting a kiss on her lips, before it turned into something a lot more passionate.
"Rach" he moaned. Her legs crumbled at one simple word.
"I-I gotta go, tell 'em errr that you know, you haven't died or something..." Rachel stuttered
"But I have died. I've died and gone to heaven... How else could i have met someone as beautiful as you?" He whispered sweetly into her ear. Her legs literally turning to jelly at his cheesy chat up line before lightly kissing his cheek and skipping off down the hall way towards the choir room.
"Rach? Why didn't you tell me?" Merchades voice sighed
"Tell you what?"
"About Daisy... I thought I was one of your best friends and you kept something that big from me..."
"Well, I didn't tell anyone..." Rachel stuttered again as tears filled her eyes...
"Rachel, don't cry" soothed Mike as he rocked her back and fourth in his now very muscly arms...
"Oh Rachel I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry..." hushed Merchades taking Rachel from Mike arms copying his earlier motions.
She couldn't help it. Why was she crying? The greatest thing just happened, she and Finn had kissed. But she couldn't stop crying.
"Rach?" came a very familiar voice from the hall way
"FINN!" she called running from Merchades and flinging herself into his arms.
She felt like Goldilocks. The first arms being way to hard, the second being way too soft and the third being just right. Perfect to soothe her and she instantly stoped crying as the proud owner of the arms kissed her tears away...
