Chapter 14: Resemblance
Finn and Rachel ignored their dozen phone calls and texts from their families. They stayed inside Finn's car since Rachel didn't drive her's.
Rachel looks at Finn. "I still have Lauren's picture when she was born. It's in my room. She has her eyes closed and I'm holding her. I was so happy to welcome a beautiful girl into the world."
"Were you?" Finn asked, staring at the rain.
"Finn.."
"That kiss, I don't even know what that was."
"Finn.."
"Was it forgiveness? Was it love?"
"What do you think?"
"If I say what I feel, you'll be upset. You kissed me first."
"But you didn't stop me from kissing you."
It was true. They stayed kissing in the rain for as long as they could. "This is making my head hurt. I don't want to talk about it anymore." Finn suggested, turning on the radio.
"You bought it up."
"I don't want to talk about ti."
"Okay..." Rachel says rolling her eyes. They were both silent. They continue to stare at the rain, thinking of what is slowly becoming of them.
The car remained silent until Finn heard Rachel snore which made him laugh so he started to drive.
As soon as they got close to home, Rachel woke up mumbling. "Don't take me back to my dad's."
"What?" Finn asked, not hearing properly.
"I don't want to go home." Rachel says. "Take me to your house." Finn stares at her. He shakes his head and does what he's told. He looks at the passenger seat and only sees Rachel falling back asleep.
When Finn arrived home, he didn't know rather or not to wake up Rachel or carry her inside. It was getting really late so Finn knew he was okay with Lauren not running into Rachel. He gets out of his seat, walks over to Rachel, and takes her seat-belt off.
He carefully carries her inside the house. He puts her on the couch and tucks her in with a blanket. He then walks upstairs to his room, calling it a long night.
Sunday morning arrived. No one was awake but Lauren at eight o'clock. She went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. For some reason, she felt like she didn't want to wake up her dads. She wanted to be a big girl and make her own cereal. So, she did.
She stopped walking into the kitchen when she saw a young woman sleeping on her couch. A young woman she doesn't know.
She bends down and just stares at her. She noticed that she had her nose. She wondered how long she could stare at the look a-like strange woman sleeping.
She thought about her daddy. She thought about how he was out all night without answering back. She's been a bit upset with him but he doesn't know. She continued to stare until thirty minutes later when she saw the young woman open her eyes. "Hi, who are you?" Lauren asked concerned.
Rachel rubs her eyes. She looks at her surroundings. This isn't her home. She yawns and stretches, trying to wake herself up. She suddenly looks at the little girl. It's her. It's her daughter. She's stunningly beautiful. Finn's right. She's a spitting image of her. There are so many resemblances.
She saw the girl rolling her eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm Lauren. Who are you?"
Is anyone awake? Is Finn awake? Does he know his daughter is now meeting her mother? Rachel was terrified, hoping someone would wake up.
Thankfully someone did. It was Finn. He was half asleep. Lauren came running to him to grab his attention. "Daddy! A stranger in our living room!" She said. That was Finn immediately woke up.
Oh, crap. Rachel. He said to himself. "Who is she, daddy?!" Lauren asked seriously.
"This is-" Finn paused. Now or never, Hudson. "Rachel Berry. You're mommy." He says taking a deep breath, not sure if he felt relieved.
What they both knew is that none of them were prepared.
Lauren meets her mom for the first time! What do you think happens next?! Please keep reading and reviewing thank you so much!:)
