He couldn't believe what had just happened. She had his rings on. What was that supposed to mean?

He sat down in the chair that she had been in. It still felt warm. It felt so strange to be so near to her after all this time.

He took a sip of his beer and realised they were all staring. He turned to face Quinn who was staring at him intently. "What? What Quinn?"

She shook her head in disbelief...Was he really going to let her go again? Seriously what was wrong with him? "Finn, I cannot believe i even need to say this, but what is actually wrong with you? She is clearly still in love with you, and you are letting her go again? It's been her since you were 16, Finn? Are you even listening to me?"

He was, and he knew she was right. It was always Rachel. It always would be. Wasn't that what she tried to show him, I mean she still has those rings on? That meant something. It had to. Maybe thats why she came back. He had to find out.

Without another word, he got up and ran out of the bar. He knew his friends would understand that he needed to do this.

He scanned the carpark and saw a tiny figure in a car. The figure was shaking, sobbing uncontrollably. He started to run over when the car started to pull away. He stopped. He has lost her again. He pushed the door open and walked back into his parents house. He had to read those papers. Then, maybe this would all make sense.

"Finn, honey is that you?" His mother came out into the hallway. Concern was written all over her face. "I'm so glad your ok, we were all really worried about you. Look sit down, we have something you really need to know."

He gave his mother a weak smile and followed her." I saw her mom, in the bar. She, she had my rings on..."

"Oh well, erm I'm not sure what to make of this Finn. Maybe you should hear this before you make any decisions."

"Mom – wait- wait, what do you mean? Did you hear me? I think she wants to make this work."

He walked through to see Burt, Kurt and Blaine all waiting for him. None of them could look him in the eye.

"Guys , seriously your scaring me. What is going on, can someone please tell me? Please?" He looked pleadingly into his mothers eyes. "MOM...are you not listening, tell me?"

Ok well this was going to be hard. He needed to know but was so emotional right now. She started to speak but she couldn't find the words. She began to cry and started to sob in Burt's arms. She looked over at Kurt. If anyone could tell Finn and get him to remain calm, it was him.

"Finn. Before I tell you what I need to tell you, please remember a few things. Firstly, not one of us knew about this. I certainly didn't and...well if I did I would have told you. Secondly, I am sure that Rachel had her reasons for doing this the way she has. He looked at his brother's desperate face. He really didn't know how to do this. He hands him the papers.

Finn glances down. No this wasn't right, divorce? He didn't understand...why did she have her rings if she wanted this? Not them. How did it get to this? He went to slam the papers down but before he could Kurt stopped him. "NO Finn! You need to read them. The first part, please just read the first part." Finn brought the papers back to read what Kurt was referring to. He could not have prepared himself for what it said:

The Court Orders on Consent that; the mother and the Respondent Father shall share equal joint custody of the child, Amelia Maria Hudson.

WHAT? He kept reading that paragraph. This meant...he had a daughter? This is what Rachel couldn't tell him. That meant he walked out on her, she was pregnant? This couldn't be happening. His mind went back to that time when it all fell apart, everything clicked in his mind. She had been off with him for weeks, her hormones maybe? Oh it hit him. Why she had never told him. The last line he said to her, he played it over and over, but he never knew its importance before this...

"Save it Rachel. I don't wanna hear it."

He knew he would always regret those words. God he deserved this. He was the worst husband and probably the world's worst father to a daughter he didn't even know. He buried his head in his hands. What was he going to do about this? He had to see her. He had to get to Rachel.

"Kurt, I've got to get to Rachel's dads. Can you drive me? I've had a few drinks and I don't think I'm up to driving anyway?" Kurt eyed him. Was this really such a good idea? When Finn got mad, it wasn't pretty and he was damn sure an overly emotional angry Finn and Rachel was a good idea at the moment. Especially if there was a child involved. He seemed calm enough. Just anxious.

"Fine, i will take you but god help you Finn, start anything or lose it, I'm dragging you out of there. Blaine is coming to. Carole – don't worry, we will make sure everything is fine."

The journey seemed to take forever to get to the house. Finn was taking his legs, growing impatient. Finally the car pulled to stop and Finn practically jumped out of the car and ran to the Berry's front door. Knocking loudly he waited until someone answered.

Leroy Berry came to the door and his son in law burst through the door. Following Leroy's gaze he walked through to see Rachel sat in the armchair. She looked up and it was clear to him that she had been crying. He walked over to her and gently stroked her face.

"Rach ", she gasped, the way he spoke made her melt, he was speaking so fast, trying to get everything out without messing up. "I know about Amelia...Kurt kind of made me listen and, oh god I have daughter Rachel, this is a lot to take in and I know your mad at me and I am kinda mad at you, yeah we both have our reasons and I know we need to talk, but i needed to see you Rachel. Its gonna be ok, we can work this out" He lent in closer. She looked so fragile and he just wanted to hold her.

"Erm Rachel. What's going on here?"

They both looked up and stared at Jake who had come downstairs after checking on Ameila. Finn sure did not like the look of him one bit.

"Rachel. Answer me please. What is going on here?"

She sobbed quietly, pulling away from Finn. " Well Jake, this is Finn. And Finn," she looked at him before she said the one thing he didn't want to hear.

As she spoke, she raised her left hand to Finn, showing a large diamond on her finger that had replaced his.

"This is my fiancé, Jake."
