Enjoy...and i still don't own glee...Please review, I really do want to know what everyone thinks!
Rachel grinned at the scene before her. It was everything she hoped for. Finn was amazing with Amelia, even more than she had imagined. She always knew he would make an amazing father. He was currently trying to feed her some mushed up "icky food" as he called it, but more was ending up on her face than anywhere else, but he had this goofy look on his face that she knew so well. It was the look that Finn Hudson wore when he was blissfully happy.
"Rach...Rach are you ok? You look kinda lost over there..."
She smiled at him and walked over to her changing bag and pulled out wipes and handed them to Finn.
"Are you sure this is ok Finn? I mean Carole and Burt must hate me. I can't exactly blame them but I'm sure they don't want me here. I'll go. You can bring Amelia over later on" She started to move towards the doorway when Finn blocked her path.
Smiling down at her, he spoke so gently, almost a whisper "Nope. You aren't going anywhere" He used the back of his hand to lift her face up and bent down to lightly brush his lips over hers. She shuddered slightly at the touch. Suddenly the ring on her left hand felt like a dead weight.
"Well. I see you two had a interesting time today."...Rachel's face burst bright red... Kurt turned to shut the door, well at least it wasn't Carole, she thought, THAT would have been awful . Damn him, he really could creep up on anyone. Glaring at Finn, he walked into the kitchen and put his bag on the counter. "I don't know what's going on here but is this really a good idea guy-" He stopped when he saw Finn glaring down at him, slightly gesturing to Rachel. The look on her face told him to stop talking. "Anyways" he continued, " I am NOT getting involved in this. You two are big enough to sort this out between yourselves. And no I won't say anything to anyone before you ask" He shot a look towards Finn that said everything he needed to know. It stunk of you had better not mess this up again.
Rachel could feel Kurt's eyes rest on her. She began to speak but Kurt held his hand up to stop her. Finn held in a breath. He had forgiven Rachel, so it didn't seem fair for his family to hate her. She had her reasons. "Before you go onto your typical Rachel Berry speech, I wanted to tell you, well if my brother here can get over it, so can I. And don't worry about the parents, I've spoken to them and well they agree with me. They understand this cant have been easy for you Rachel, and well, I think I speak for everyone here when I say, we are here for you both." She was speechless. She had been ready for the full force of Kurt.
"Thank you Kurt, that means, well a lot."
"Its ok. Just don't mess up. That goes for you as well Finn. Now I am just about done waiting to see my gorgeous niece." He walked round Finn and shrieked loudly."Oh my. she is just too cute. Who would have thought any child of Finns would be so adorable! Can I hold her?" Rachel nodded and Amelia squealed in happiness. "Oh MY god, Rachel I just love her outfit, tell me who put that together." He flashed them a wicked grin and continued to make baby noises at Amelia.
Rachel looked at Finn and smiled. They knew it would be a good idea to change her into one of what seemed like hundreds of outfits Kurt had brought her. Well that was one down, just two more of the Hudson-Hummel household to face. Finn gave her hand a small squeeze. It was like he could read her mind.
She hadn't of worried. Carole and Burt were amazing. They agreed with what Kurt had told her hours earlier and although, yes they were angry at first, they talked it through with Finn and as long as he was ok, then so were they. They were grateful now that they knew and could finally meet their granddaughter. They all listened to her tell her the tiniest details of Amelia. How she was always banging on things, she must have known she belonged to a drummer. How she always fell asleep if you played her faithfully. And how she could have the most epic of tantrums, Rachel Berry style. They laughed along and smiled all the time. She clearly had Burt wrapped round her finger already. She hadn't left his lap in hours and kept pulling at his shirt whenever he hadn't played her enough attention.
Finn was the most attentive of all. Drinking in every fact about his daughter. Making up for the years he had accidently missed. She really did sound every bit like the both of them and he couldn't wait to get to know her more.
She noticed the time and gasped. She had told Jake that they would be home ages ago. She hadn't heard her phone. Either he was giving her time or he was extremely angry. "I am so sorry everyone, but I think I really need to get going. Amelia looks so tired and well, my dads are probably a little worried, I told them we would be back ages ago. I can come back tomorrow if you like? So you can spend more time with her?"
"That would be lovely Rachel. Tell you what, bring your dads and Jake. We'll have a big family get together? About 12? That sound good?" Carole looked over to her, willing her to say yes.
"Of course, that sounds lovely. I'll have to check with my dad's but I'm sure that will be fine. Ill text Finn and let him know? If not I'll come over with Amelia anyway. Well Ill see everyone tomorrow. And again thank you, for everything. It means more to me and her than you'll ever know."
With that, she followed Finn out to his car, waiting in the passenger seat whilst he placed a sleeping Amelia in her carseat. He got in the driver side and started to pull away. "Well I had fun today Rachel, and I meant what I said, no pressure from me, or my family, we promise."
They sat in comfortable silence for the rest of the journey until the car pulled to stop. Finn got out first to gather Amelia from the back and followed Rachel to the front door. Before they even reached the step, the door was pulled open. It was her dads." Rachel! Thank god, we were going to call...its Jake."
"What...Daddy, What it is? Will you tell me" Panic rose in her throat. She had been out all day, happy in this pretend fluffy Finn world and all the time, something terrible had happened to Jake. She was such a bad person.
"Calm down honey, we think you just need to call him." She saw them glance at each other.
"Why would I call him? He's here. I can just speak to him?"
Leroy spoke "He's gone Rachel"
"What do you mean? How can he just leave me here? How am I supposed to get back without him? He has all the tickets. He can't just go!" Tears began streaming down her face. Hiram reached over to Finn and took Amelia out of his arms and disappeared into the house with Leroy. Rachel was glad. She didn't want Amelia or her dads to see her like this.
Finn went to put his arms around her and she collapsed into her arms, sobbing, broken. She didn't understand. Suddenly anger rose inside her. Who the fuck did he think he was? She didn't want Finn to see this though, she was so angry and didn't know what she would do right now. "Finn, can you leave please?" He looked down at her, confused. " I will be fine. I need to sort this and well, I can't do it with you here. Please don't take this the wrong way." He looked hurt and torn about leaving her. He wiped away her tears and bent down to kiss her, but she pulled back. "Please Finn, just go. I'll talk to you tomorrow, ok?" Without another word, he nodded and pulled her in for one last embrace. She could feel his breath on her head. She wanted him to stay but she needed to do this. Letting her go he walked away from her and got back into his car. She waited till his car drove out of sight before she rummaged through her bag, grabbing her phone and dialling from her favourite list.
After a few rings, Jake answered. "Yes"
"What the fuck Jake. Is that all you can say to your fiancée? You better start explaining"
"I don't need to. I got called back to New York on a case. I told your dads to tell you." He sounded so distant.
"Why are you being so cold? I need you Jake."
"I'm sure you'll be fine, with your lover boy to take care of you. I saw how you look at each other. Not once have I ever seen you look at me like that. You should be happy, it's what you've always wanted. It's just a shame I had to go all the way to that hole to see it."
"Don't say things like that, Its ,my family's home and anyway that is not true, I love you Jake you're the one I want, we're getting married. That's the whole point to me being here remember? Look I'll be back in a day. We can sort this out." She couldn't believe she was fighting for this? He was right.
"Really? It seems more like a Finn and Rachel reunion if you ask me" He voiced turned to steel, "I saw you kiss him Rachel, last night, in the yard. Look the weddings off. I don't want to talk about this. There's nothing to discuss. I couldn't be any more humiliated by all of this. I hope you're happy together. Goodbye Rachel."
Beeeppp.
