End of junior year: At McKinley High's senior graduation 2013.

"Thankyou Finn"

"What for babe?"

"For wanting to be my friend, protecting me, and for choosing me…"

"Baby girl you don't have to thank me for anything, I should really be thanking you for letting me love you, and I figure if I can just continue to do that, then everything will be okay."

Through her tears she whisper sobs, "I love you too so very much Finn Hudson"

Her lips find his and as she tries to put all her feelings into the kiss, her mind is awash with dreams of the future, and she decides then and there, that as long as she has the tall dimpled cinnamon eyed man by her side, she knows everything will definitely be ok. One last lop sided smile and soft kiss on her sweet mouth, Finn whispers against Rachel's lips.

"Just a boy who loves you"

Just a Girl who Loves a Boy

First day of senior year at McKinley high 2014:

"Rachie, which goes better? the rainbow or the tiger stripes?"

Rachel is shaken from her own closet contemplations, at the sound of a high-pitched anxious questioning. She turns around to see her younger cousin standing at the foot of her bed dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and purple tank top, holding a black, long sleeved sweat top with white diagonal tiger like stripes on it, up against her chest, and without really giving Rachel much time to give an opinion she quickly flips the items around so she is now presenting a soft pink one with a rainbow on it. Looking at her (Rachel would like to say up but the fact that Melanie is only 14 and a freshman and taller than herself is scary) with big wide blue eyes and a questioning, impatient look on her fair skinned face, and her long blond hair a tangle over one shoulder.

"Well Mellie, I think they both look great with those jeans and either would be perfect for your fist day at high school, but why don't you just close your eyes and pick one?"

A whiney "Rachieeee, that's why I asked you 'cause I couldn't make up my mind and if I don't pick one that looks cool, I'm likely to get a slushy thrown at me, for looking like a loser dork." Melanie huffs and slumps down on the end of Rachel's bed. Feeling her eyes water with understanding Rachel sits down next to Melanie and wraps an arm around the other girl's shoulders, before taking a deep breath.

"Oh honey don't let what anyone says ever make you do or be something you aren't comfortable with, no one in this world has the right to tell you what to do. You are an individual and as such have the right to dress how you like 'kay?"

Rachel feels a nodding motion against her shoulder, and taking a quick glance at her bedside clock decides that she has enough time to tell Melanie what her daddy once said to her.

"Mellie I'm going to tell you something your Uncle Hiram told me, when I came home from school one day covered in eggs."

Melanie snaps her head up and openly cringes at the thought of her beautiful cousin covered in muck.

Rachel smiles and just pats Mel on the arm.

"It's ok that seems like a long time ago. But he told me to never ever apologize to anyone for being your self, because even if the other kids at school haven't yet got the memo, it isn't wrong to be an individual, and that every person is special in their own way. So that means if you want to wear a rainbow or even a carousel horse on your sweater or even knitted leg warmers on your arms, then you do just that, and even if some idiot throws one of those disgusting things in your face, know that you can rise above the humiliation and hurt, and make something of your self, because ultimately the only person you have to answer to is yourself and as long as you are happy inside, then that's what is important. Those people that follow a leader and pick on others because they think it is 'cool' are nothing but scared little kids who are too weak to make their own decisions or try too hard to fit in to the box, school and society want them to fit into. But the thing they don't realise sometimes until it's too late is that they are missing out on being part of something special, and whether that is a friendship, caring relationship, a glee, drama, stamp collecting club or even a sports team. As long as you are happy, giving it your full attention and doing your best you will never be a loser. I know it hurts to be teased and treated like you don't matter but if I can manage to overcome it …, well… anyway, you are a beautiful, smart girl Mellie, so promise me you won't give in but just be you, because that is enough. But you know Finn and I will look out for you don't you? Though if you have too much bother you could always ask Santana to bring 'Auntie Snix' for a visit. She is enough to scare anyone"

A small giggle from beside her makes Rachel smile "I know you will but that's only for this year, but thanks Rachie I'll remember what you said…,"

Rachel smiles and presses a quick kiss on Mel's cheek, before standing up and returning to her closet, making a mental note to make sure she picked her daily outfits for school the night before. Then she is remembering with a big bright smile plastered on her face, the 6"3', cinnamon eyed, dimple cheeked messy haired, reason she was late home last night. So she just grabs the closest top and pair of jeans she can find she starts to dress.

"Rachie?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think our school will have a glee club this year?"

Poking her head around the closet door Rachel looks at Melanie. An excited light shinning in her big brown eyes, "I 'don't know, I 'spose if enough kids want to try out and the school has a teacher willing… I'd love it if we could get a glee club off the ground…, I didn't even know you like to sing, that much… I mean I've heard you sometimes singing along with the TV or in the car, and you sound great by the way, but I thought you wanted to try out for the cheer squad like Britt?"

"Yeah I was going to but after what you said about doing stuff because you want to not just 'cause it's expected made me realise that cheerleading was Britt's thing and even though I'm good at it … well I really like singing and dancing, and a few of my girl and guy friends, are like really into that sort of stuff too…"

"Oh Mellie, that is wonderful." Rachel says and does a little hop skip type dance clapping her hands together excitedly. "Tell you what I'll have a word with Mr Schuester from history class, I heard he used to run glee to see if he is interested okay? And I've seen the trophies, plus I'm pretty sure I heard or read somewhere the minimum number of members for competitions is 12, and I'm sure Finn would be in to joining, he has such a wonderful voice."

A dreamy sigh leaves Rachel's lips before Melanie rolls her eyes at her love stuck cousin and clears her throat bringing Rachel back to earth. Rachel noticing the look on Melanie's faces blushes deeply and sends an apologetic look.

"Ah, sorry yeah where was I … Um… oh that's right glee club, maybe we could make it happen."

Melanie nods her head smiling brightly as she leaves to finish getting ready for school, and catching up with her friends, Luke, Emmy, Mitch and Roni on the bus and letting them know about the possibility of having a glee club, noting in her head that if the 5 of them join and Rachie and Finn, that would only leave 5 others to make the competition minimum.

When Rachel climbs into Finn's truck later that morning her face is alight with happiness and before he has much chance to say anything she has taken his lips hostage and is proceeding to remove every ounce of breath from his body, (and taking in the size of said body that is a hell of a lot of air). Finn's visceral reaction is to pull Rachel even closer and moan into her mouth as his tongue tangles with his hers, and while one hand is busy rubbing her back his other one has slid up her belly under her jacket and clamped over her right boob and is gently squeezing the firm globe. Finn groans at the way his pants shrink at the lustful moans leaving his girls throat.

"Well good morning to you to babe" Finn puffs out taking in a much needed breath of air, and pulling away slightly, thinking he should turn down the heater as the small apace is suddenly much too hot. He is slightly surprised at his girlfriend's spontaneous burst of affectionate behaviour, not that she isn't normally happy to indulge in some…, it's just she is usually a bit more shy about it and seems to let Finn take charge.

Not that he pushes her to move 'bases' too fast because he is more than happy with the groping and making out, and the times over the summer he saw Rachel in her tiny bikini when they went swimming at the lake or public pool. Had him hard most of the time, but a few cold showers and thinking of running over mailmen, worked most of the time but when he was really 'excited' he just thought of his world without his tiny princess in it and that always calmed him down.

He knows she wants to take it slow, he just hopes that one day soon they can reach home base, as afterall he is only a teenaged guy and they have needs…, but the thing about Rachel is, she doesn't purposely act all sexy and tease him, like some of the other girls at their school. She is just herself but what ever she does, has his heart pounding and his dick twitching.

"Morning Finn, isn't it a wonderful day? I'm so excited about school it is our senior year and as such I am on a mission to get the glee club at McKinley reinstated, I can't believe this time next year we will be getting ready to start college, and then the future is wide open to us."

When she finally takes a breath after her fast paced excited and breathless ramble, Finn's brain has finally caught up with her words.

He chuckles at Rachel's little face aglow with life and happiness, knowing that if there is a chance the glee club could get off the ground again it would be fantastic. With Rachel's determination and love of music and singing, it is a foregone conclusion that it will happen. He starts the car after Rachel moves to her seat and clicks her seatbelt into place; he then reverses down the driveway.

Finn reaches his arm across the seat to take hold of Rachel's hand stoking his thumb across her palm, "Babe what has brought on this sudden excitement for glee club?"

"Mmm…? Oh, well Mellie asked me this morning if I thought McKinley would have a glee club this year, and of course I couldn't give her a definite answer but I suggested that if we could find a minimum of 12 kids and a teacher willing then there shouldn't be a problem, She said she and 4 of her friends were very keen and if you and I joined that would only leave 5 people to find…"

Finn nearly swerves the car off the road at Rachel's words.

"W-what do you mean when we join? Babe I-I can't sing good enough to stand up infront of others …"

Just as they arrive in the school parking lot and Finn turns off the ignition, Rachel sidles closer to him along the bench seat and taking his large hand in her two tiny ones looks him dead in the eyes and says softly.

"Finn, baby I love you, you know that don't you?"

Finn's eyes go soft and he gives her one of his patented side smile and nods his head bending his neck to touch his nose against Rachel's and press a little kiss on her mouth.

"Well then please believe me when I say you are very talented, and as you know I am very talented too, so if I say you would do wonderfully up on a stage singing then well you would be doing both yourself and the world a great disservice by not allowing your voice to be heard. And you know you could even play the drums and all extra curricular subjects taken in high school, help your applications for college and I know you are intelligent enough to gain admittance to any of the best ones anywhere in the country even the ones in New York … "

"B-but Rach…"

"Bye baby I love you I have to just go find Mr Schue before class, see you in science," and with that his tiny brunette fire cracker jumps out of the car, blowing him a kiss and waving.

Finn's head was in a spin he watched her race up the school steps, his inner monologue saying, "that sure he enjoys singing and pounding on his skins, but singing on stage…? Man that's a different story… but if Rach believes in me and thinks I am talented enough, and New York good, then maybe… plus he muses to himself as he makes his way across the parking lot to the building, it would open up a few more possibilities for colleges, and perhaps give him a better chance of getting into one closer to where Rach wants to go which is New York."

He remembers with a fond smile the first time he sang to Rach after the time Santana said those awful, hateful and in Finn's opinion completely untrue things to her, at the championship game last January. How she calmed down and he felt really good inside that the words of the song could help make others feel good. He knows that was the exact moment he fell in love with Rach and would do what ever he could to make her feel safe and happy, but somewhere along the way it gave him the idea that he could do or be anything he wanted and that Rach would stand by him and help him achieve his dreams.

Without even stopping at her locker first Rachel speed walked through the hallways until she arrived at the History department, thankful that Mr Schuester was in his office, she knocked a couple of times on the open glass door and waited to be invited in. Mr Schue looked up from the pile of papers already on his desk and waved her in to sit in one of the chairs facing his desk.

"Rachel, hi how was your summer? What can I do for you, is everything ok?" he asked a hint of concern in his voice.

Her head shaking in the negative and waving a hand in front of her, Rachel starts to speak, but unfortunately for Mr Schue, the speed at which she was talking had him shaking his head and holding a hand up to stop the tiny girl across from him.

He chuckles "Rachel, Rachel slow down and tell me what the matter is, is it Finn?"

"I'm sorry Mr Schue, no everyone is ok, and Finn is just perfect, it's just that I wanted to talk to you about the glee club and if it were possible to get the club reinstated." At the mention of glee club Rachel noticed the teacher's eyes light up and a fond look cross his face.

"Glee club? Are you telling me you are interested in joining… but Rachel we need at least 12 kids and nobody has shown any interest in glee for years, but…" bobbing her brunette head like a puppet Rachel beams at him.

"Mr Schue, I know of at least 7 people who are interested in starting it up again. One of them can play the drums exceptionally well, the other 5 are freshmen, and I know you have had great success with glee club and winning competitions in the past. Now maybe it is time to give another generation of kids the chance to shine and be part of something special and show this school that it is cool to sing and dance, and give anyone a chance to shine no matter what 'crowd' they are in."

Rachel stands up and grabs her bag off the floor hoisting it onto her shoulder as she turns towards the door.

"Please think about it Mr Schue, it would mean a lot to all of us and with luck it might help close the gap between cliques at this school a bit more."

Taking a deep breath and feeling good about her talk with Mr Schue Rachel makes her way to her locker, smiling widely when she sees Finn standing there leaning against the wall looking both ways along the hallway, a worried frown on his handsome face. He is looking the other way and Rachel giggles into his back when she feels him jump slightly at the way she wraps her arms around his waist.

"Hey baby."

Spinning her around and into his firm embrace, Finn sighs and presses a kiss onto the crown of her head. "Can you tell me what the sudden need to see Mr Schue was all about babe is this about the glee club? Cause I've been thinking it over and if you think I …"

"Finny, baby calm down, come on we have to get to class and I'll tell you on the way. Thankyou for considering it, it means a lot to me but Finn if it makes you uncomfortable then, mmphff…"

"Be quiet woman, and let me kiss you!"

Before she can finish her sentence Finn has her pressed into a corner, his large body pinning her much smaller one, so she is unable to move. Not that she could even find the will to. Finn is kissing her like it is the last time ever; her breath is escaping in soft moans and pants, and when she opens her mouth at the urging of his tongue which then tangles with hers she feels like her legs are made of jelly. She grips hold of his shirt, her hands formed into tight fists against the blue plaid material, never wanting to let go.

Breaking the intense kiss for the annoying need of fresh air in his lungs, Finn raises a hand and tenderly rubs a thumb over his girl's swollen, red lips, chuckling at the dazed look in her wide brown eyes; he presses another soft kiss on her lips. Making full eye contact he whispers softly.

"Baby girl I would do anything thing for you because I want to be a better man, not just for me but you too, and I know with everything inside of me that you will help me, without expecting anything in return all I ask is that you continue to let me love you."

Rachel has buried her face into his chest while he is talking, and he doesn't even care that the hordes of kids on their way to class can probably overhear every word of his emotional outburst.

Finn feels his t- shirt getting wet and pulls away ready to apologise to his girl thinking he'd hurt her with his forceful approach; cursing to himself, he was always forgetting she was so tiny especially when his passion took over. But when he sees the fierce determined look in her eyes he stops.

"F-Finn Hudson, don't you ever let me hear you say stuff like that again. There is no way in hell that you will ever get rid of me and as for helping you it is because I love you and know that you can achieve your dreams and if showing you different avenues to help you find your way makes it easier for you, then the only payment I need is for you to be happy, oh and FYI you make me a better person too. But thankyou baby for thinking about glee club Mr Schue will hopefully be able to get it off the ground and for one year at least we can all be part of something special. In our case though, I see that for many years to come, now kiss me again so I can get through till I see you in science and hurry to class, or you will be late."

When Rachel and Finn walked into history that afternoon for their last class of the day, Mr Schue was sitting at his desk grinning from ear to ear. He called them over and proudly presented Rachel with a sheet of A4 paper with the heading

New Directions sign up sheet: auditions to be held in the auditorium this Friday 4: pm.

A loud squeal from Rachel has her reaching over the desk and wrapping her arms around her Teacher's neck, smiling so widely she couldn't contain her happiness.

"Thankyou, thankyou Mr Schue, oh my, this is wonderful news, Finny isn't it great baby, oh I can't wait to tell Mellie."

She immediately picks up a pen off the desk and happily writes her name and then Finn's on the sheet, then pauses for a minute before racing over to her desk and digging through her bag for something, not noticing Mr Schue and Finn look at each other with matching looks of puzzlement on their faces. She returns and presses a little gold star sticker at the end of her name. Looking up at her boyfriend and teacher she shrugs and shyly says what? "Stars are a metaphor and they inspire me to always aim high."

Any further conversation is halted as the other kids pile into the class, and the sounds of scraping chairs and chattering have overtaken the room, until Mr Schue stands up and brings the class to order so he can begin his lesson. Rachel secretly digs her cell phone from her bag and while Mr Schue is taking attendance, and sends a text message to Melanie, who she knows has computer class.

Good news, glee club is a go, sign up sheet with Mr Schuester in history class, spread the word :-D

The rest of the lesson speeds by and by the time the bell rings and the class is dismissed, Mr Schue is on his way to pin the sign up sheet on the student notice board, when he is pretty much pushed back through the classroom door by Melanie and her group of friends, all wanting to sign up. By the time the 5 of them have written their names and disappeared there are only a few spots left, for the 12 member minimum. He is amazed and so happy; he leaves his room smiling so widely he bursts into song thinking he will surprise Emma with a take out dinner. As he walks down the hallway towards his wife's office the magic sounds flow from his throat, he doesn't even react to the cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester's taunts and rude comments about wild creatures living his hair, and something about her calling the zoo and rabies shots, he just waves goodbye and pats her on the back as he walks past.

"Just a small town girl
livin' in a lonely world
she took the midnight train
goin' anywhere
just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
goin' anywhere

Don't stop believin..."

By 3:45pm on Friday afternoon, the auditorium is teeming with kids from all year groups, and by the looks on quite a few of their faces they were only there to have a laugh and try to stir up trouble. Mr Schue stands up and once the noise level has dropped to muted murmurs he starts to speak.

"It is really great to see so many interested people wanting to try out for the glee club, but let me just warn you if anyone has turned up to make trouble or be stupid and not take this serious you will be sorry, so there is the door" he points to the exit. "I only want kids here who are serious about wanting to join, and will work hard to become part of a team so I will give you guys a few minutes to think about it."

A loud grumble from a group of sports jocks and their cheerio flunkies, as they raced out the door, purposely bumping into others on their way out and commenting loudly saying things like "losers", "watch out for the slushie facials", "can't wait to see you pussy's fail" and other nasty things all followed by loud snickering, high fives, fist bumps and raucous laughter.

By the time the twenty kids left had all sung their audition song, it left Mr Schue with a dilemma, as how to let down the ones who just had no talent without hurting their feelings, especially one girl Sugar Motta, whose rendition of 'Hey big Spender' from the musical Sweet Charity, was so bad everyone had covered their ears and shook their heads.

Now Will Schuester, has always been of the belief that if you have the guts to get up in front of a bunch of other people and sing then you deserve a chance, but… this girl…, he makes eye contact with Rachel and notices the way her face is scrunched up and her hands pressed over her ears, trying not to hear the wailing coming from the stage and cringes at the motion Rachel is making, of drawing a line across her throat and the incessant side to side head shakes.

Mr Schue cringes as the last note leaves the girl's mouth and offers a couple of lacklustre claps "That was… just wow! …Sugar we'll um, let you know ok? Thanks for coming."

"Yeah ok well. Here's the deal. I'm awesome, and I want to be a big, big star. I know I'm so much better than the rest of you. So text me, RE: the rehearsal sched"

Sugar totters out of the room on her ridiculously high designer wedges, grabbing the handles of her hefty over large handbag with one hand and wiggling her fingers in a sort of wave at the teacher and other kids who are sat in various stages of speechlessness and shock, from the awful noise they had just been subjected to. Rachel had her head buried in Finn's shoulder and he had one arm wrapped around her shoulders, as though he was trying to protect her.

Thankfully, Sugar was the last and Mr Schuester, had narrowed his choices down to the 13 kids with actual talent he stands up and addresses them.

"Wow I am totally blown away by the talent you kids have, and have narrowed down my list" a chorus of cheers and clapping overtook him "I will post the list on Monday morning." So thanks very much for coming out today and for wanting to be part of the New Directions. Have a great weekend.

Groans and "Oh man" and "I can't wait 2 more days to find out" and a chorus of "bye Mr Schue" echoed around the auditorium as the kids left en-masse, Will Schuester made his way out locking the doors after him and walked happily to his office to collect his stuff.

If anyone had been expecting a quiet start to the second week of school, at McKinley High they would have been sadly disappointed, because the crowd hanging about the notice board that Monday were jumping up and down high fiving each other, some squealing with excitement and others letting out annoyed disappointed sighs and grumbles, as they read from the sheet of paper headed by the words

2014 New Directions- Glee club members, the 1st meeting is this Wednesday 3:30pm in choir room.

Thanks to everyone who tried out –keep trying and don't stop believing in yourself.

A couple of obviously unsuccessful applicants, just shrugged and walked off, talking amongst themselves that there is always next time and maybe they should try out for the Drama club.

Late Wednesday afternoon, Rachel and Finn were in Rachel's room sprawled across her bed doing their homework when she looks up at Finn and smiles at the look of concentration on his handsome face, and even after being together for months now she is still finds it hard to believe he is hers. She voices her thoughts on a question, one that she has been thinking about for ages.

"Finn?" she says a little nervously.

"Yeah baby," He pulls his warm cinnamon eyes up from his notebook, locks them onto her face and gives her a soft smile.

"My house is going to be empty all next weekend as everyone is going to see Britt, do you think your Mom would let you have a sleep over, to you know … and make sure I'm safe…?"

"W-what are you saying Rach, won't your Aunt and Uncle mind that I stay?"

"No I've already asked them and they both said as long as we take the proper precautions and promise to call them if there is any problem, they are fine with you staying over… but if you don't want to that's fine, I – I just thought we could … you know move our physical relationship along a bit further…," She drops her eyes and nervously plays with the hem of her shirt.

Realising what Rachel was suggesting, Finn suddenly spins around on the bed knocking the books to the floor, and gathers Rachel to his chest in a tight hug, causing his girlfriend to emit a tiny squeak of surprise.

"Baby you know how much I am in love you, and I want to do that as well, but I won't push you. I know you wouldn't be asking if you hadn't given it a lot of thought, but are you really sure?"

"Yes, I love you so very much and I want to take this next step with you Finn, we are going away to college in a few months … and I can't ever see myself wanting to have any other boy see me… well like that… and as we are both virgins' I thought we could learn together, I have been on birth control for months now, and I have been reading up on the topic so I understand there is pain and discomfort involved, I know am ready, but if you aren't then … well I can wait."

"Oh Rach, if that is what you want baby, then I'm sure we can work it out, as long as my fumbling giant body doesn't turn you off. Because I am in no doubt that you are the only girl for me and the only one I ever want to be that intimate with. "

Rachel gives Finn a soft look and presses a gentle kiss on his lips, then running a little hand down his cheek and cupping his chin, she tells him softly,

"Finn Hudson there is nothing about you that could ever turn me off, but thankyou baby I love you." Rachel moves to press a soft kiss on Finn's mouth, nearly getting lost in the feelings he always evokes in her when they kiss. Reluctantly pulling away and clearing her throat she says "ok… well… now that we have made an informed, mature and mutual decision to share our first times, why don't we return to our homework hmm? Plus we also have to find a duet for glee club, what do you think about 'I can't stop loving you' or 'No air' or maybe even something from your favoured rock genre, there are a couple of Bon-Jovi or Journey songs that could work."

After another series of small kisses on his face, Rachel climbs off Finn's lap to collect their books and papers that were knocked off the bed in Finn's hurried attempt to comfort her. Finn meanwhile is trying to get his head around the conversation and how his girl, loves and trusts him so much, that she wants to give him her most special and personal gift. He knows that losing your virginity is a big step to take, and he has never wanted to just give it away without it having deep feelings attached, he thanks the stars above that he has finally found the right person, and with luck she will be his only, he just worries about hurting her… he makes a mental note to do some research too.

When the glee club met last period that Friday, every one is either standing in groups or sitting on chairs, waiting for Mr Schue. Excitedly, albeit nervously chatting about their song choices and as they now have other two members, seniors Mercedes Jones and one of Finn's football buddies Sam Evans. They have more than enough for competition and such a vast array of talent.

"Oh Rachie isn't it great I can't wait to sing with Luke…"

Rachel notices her cousin's dreamy inflection when she said her duet partner's name, so with a big knowing smile on her face she asks playfully "Melanie Jane Pierce is there something you want to tell me hmm?"

A deep blush coloring her fair skin Melanie, turns in her seat towards Rachel and takes hold of her hand and lowering her head, blonde meeting brunette, she says dreamily,

"He is so cute and funny we have been friends since like the 4th grade, and you know hanging out with Roni and Emmy and the other guys, but since the summer things have moved from best friends to more and… well I um…, think we could be great together, I'm pretty sure he likes me more than just a 'friend' too."

Rachel smiles at Melanie's use of air quotes, and reaches her free arm up to wrap it around her shoulders, whispering in her ear that by the way Luke is watching her and the smile on his face, she thinks the attraction is pretty much mutual and more than wanting to be just friends, and by having something as wonderful as glee club in common, it is a wonderful way to express ones feelings."

Mr Schue comes in then and all conversations stop as he starts to talk.

"Good afternoon guys, what do you say we get right to today's business" He writes in big letters the word DUETS and underlines it with a fancy squiggle, on the whiteboard, then turns to face the class. "A duet can enhance and bring out more in a song and can sometimes change the way it is received by the audience. Meaning 2 girls or guys singing a love song for example sounds great but if a boy and girl who might already have a 'connection' take it then magic often happens and everyone can feel it. Now who wants to go first?"

"Melanie, jumps up and walks over to where Luke is sitting with Finn, Sam and Mitch, taking his hand and saying happily "we'll give it a go"

With a clap of his hands Mr Schue nods and says "Ok then from the top."

While Melanie and Luke were getting ready Rachel has joined Finn in the back row and as he reaches out to take her hand she leans into rest her head against his shoulder. She sighs with happiness at the tender way his thumb rubs over the top of her hand and every now and then he presses a kiss on the crown of her head.

Loud cheering erupts at the conclusion of Melanie and Luke's perfect rendition of 'I've had the time of my life' from the movie dirty dancing and by the time it gets to Finn and Rachel, there is only a short time till class ends.

Handing the sheet music to Brad on the piano Finn and Rachel stand on opposite sides of the piano their eyes locked onto each others and begin.

"My love,
There's only you in my life
the only thing that's bright

my first love,
you're every breath that I take
you're every step I make

And I
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...

And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun

Forever
ohhhh
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

And love
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind

'cause you,
You mean the world to me
Oh
I know
I know
I've found in you
My endless love

Oooh, and love
Oh, love
I'll be that fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh you know
I don't mind

And, yes
You'll be the only one
'cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love"

The second the last note has been sung, their lips connected in a passionate kiss that had Rachel's legs shaking from the emotions behind it. Finn and Rachel are shaken from their trance by the loud clapping and wolf whistles from the other kids that quite honestly had been forgotten about.

With a giant beaming smile plastered across his face, Mr Schue slaps Finn on the shoulder and as he and Rachel separate, he wraps one arm around her slim shoulders. Schue addresses the others, noticing the way some are fanning their faces with their hands, others are sat like statues, just breathing in the emotion swirling around the room.

"That's what I was talking about, fantastic guys, I don't think we will have any trouble claiming that sectionals trophy, you two are my go to guys for powerhouse, emotional duets."

Finn and Rachel just smile and move out of his reach taking hold of each others hands, lacing their fingers together, as they make their way back to their seats.

Just as Mr Schue is about to say something else the school bell rings signalling the end of the day and therefore the weekend. A quick round of "have a good weekend" and "bye Mr Schue" the room is empty in a flash.

At 4:30 that Friday afternoon, when Finn pulls into the driveway at Rachel's house. He turns off the ignition and turns to his girl, reaching across the bench seat to undo her seatbelt so he can slide into the middle and pull her onto his lap. The minute she is situated his lips smash onto hers gaining a loud moan of pleasure.

Pulling away and taking a heaving breath Finn puffs out…, "Oh babe I love you so much, what time did you say your family are leaving again?"

Rachel giggles, "Impatient are we Mr Hudson?"

"Aw babe after that song we just sang in glee, I can't think of wanting to do anything else but show you how much I love you, 'cause every single word that came from your throat went straight to my heart and I felt it."

"I know just what you mean Finn, but I'm sorry baby they aren't leaving till about 6:00 or so when Uncle Bob gets home from work, Aunt Sally said they were staying in a motel tonight then in Britt and Santana's apartment the rest of the time. I will text you when they leave ok?"

A loud groan from Finn has Rachel in a fit of giggles, trying to calm down at her boyfriends impatience , but secretly overjoyed that he is looking forward to their 'sleepover weekend' as much as she is.

"Never mind baby it will give you time to go home and have a big feed and maybe a little nap, pack a bag and see Kurt for a little while, I'm pretty sure he has some very significant news to impart about him and Blaine, and will probably want to talk to you rather than his Dad."

At the mention of his brother, Finn gives Rachel an inquiring look. But huffs when she only kisses him again then cheekily rubs a tiny hand over his crotch, before sliding off his lap and grabbing her bag as she climbs out of the truck. As Rachel skips up the driveway, Finn watches, rubbing a hand over the bulge in his jeans and groaning again at the way her little skirt hugs her bottom and her light colored tights show off her gorgeous, endless legs. She turns at the front door and sends him a beaming smile blowing him a kiss. He like a goofball reaches his hand out the window to catch it and makes to put it in his pocket before she disappears behind the front door. Quickly bringing himself under control enough to drive, Finn reverses his truck on to the road and heads in the direction of home.

Finn's thoughts move from a tiny brunette, to his brother when he sees only Kurt's car in the driveway. Thankful their parents aren't home yet he grabs his backpack and bounds up the front steps, and then as soon as he steps over the threshold, starts yelling for Kurt.

"Kurt, Kurt… Yo, where are you dude? Are you ok?" he dumps his bag at the bottom of the stairs yelling again. Racing through the house and leaping up the stairs two at a time to his brother's room. Finn barges in, without even knocking, the door swinging open, with the force of Finn's shoving causing it to bang against the wall, and alerting Kurt to his brother's entrance with a sudden shock. Kurt jumps up from where he had been reclining on his bed and tugs his head phones off, gripping hold of Finn's firm forearms in an attempt to calm his brother down and find out what has him so … well, excited isn't really the word, more like well just Finn like. And everyone always said Kurt was the dramatic one, huh go figure.

"Oh my Gaga! Finn what ever is the matter, is the house on fire? Did you and Rachel elope? Or worse did my Alexander McQueen one off design, matching scarf and waistcoat get damaged?"

All of a sudden Kurt feels himself pressed against Finn's solid chest and all the air in his body nearly squeezed out in a tight bear hug. Struggling to escape Kurt finally pushes away and stands back a bit looking at Finn with a puzzled look, and taking deep gasping breaths, manages to speak.

"Finn what the hell is wrong with you?"

"Huh, oh sorry man, I was worried about you, Rach said something about you and Blaine and I just wanted to make sure you were ok, and not feeling too bad about breaking up I know it sucks but I'm here if you want to talk, I love you man."

Kurt drops his chin onto his chest, and makes his way back to sit on the edge of his bed. Finn is nervously watching cursing under his breath for upsetting Kurt, but waits till Kurt seems ready to talk.

"Finn Hudson…" Finn continues to watch as Kurt's shoulders start to shake and he brings his hands up to cover his face. When he finally looks up at Finn he can't help but feel bad at the worried look on his face and takes a deep breath wiping the moisture from his eyes and schooling his features into one of seriousness.

"Finn, where ever made you think that Blaine and I had broken up?

"Huh? Oh it just Rach said this afternoon that you had some important news, to tell about Blaine 'n would probably rather talk to me than Burt. So I just assumed …"Finn looks sheepishly at Kurt and offers him a side smile that shows his dimples off and shrugs his shoulders before saying "My bad?, sorry Bro"

"Oh Finn, Blaine and I didn't break up, I'm sorry dear brother but that is the farthest thing from the truth," Kurt stops for a minute as he thinks of what to say "But yes I must admit I would rather talk to you than Dad , at least I know you won't give me a bunch of pamphlets." At Finn's puzzled look Kurt giggles shyly and proceeds, after walking over to his door and closing it. Smiling fondly at his dad's attempt to help him out Kurt begins.

"A couple of years ago Dad gave me a selection of gay-specific pamphlets that he got from the free clinic, but Dad being Dad tried really hard to be helpful, it seemed he was more getting more flustered, as our talk went on, and ended up offering to make me some toast after our 'chat' but one thing he said got to me

Kurt's mind goes back to that afternoon when he and his dad were sitting at the kitchen table and he verbalises his memories "You gotta know that it means something. It's doing something to you, to your heart, to your self-esteem — even though it feels like you're just havin' fun."

"I thought this was his way of telling me to not have sex. It wasn't." Kurt says softly and continues,

"Kurt, he said, when you're ready; I want you to be able to … do everything. But when you're ready, I want you to use it as a way to connect to another person. Don't throw yourself around like you don't matter. 'Cause you matter, Kurt."

"I have never forgotten that. But now Blaine and I have decided that we are ready for sex…, and as we are obviously both virgins and want to be safe … I was um wondering … if um… you know what the best brands of condoms we can use are"

"Oh man, well I… um…" Finn is pacing Kurt's room rubbing a hand nervously across his neck, his face colored a deep pink. "Um well that great man, just be careful ok? But …um as for condoms I'm not sure I was going to ask you if you knew … 'cause Rach and I are having our own 'sleepover' weekend…, but um I guess… Trojans are good, at least that what I've heard the guys in the locker room say about them, and the pharmacy had a whole display of them in all different sizes and colors, they're the ones I got if that helps." Finn shrugs and sends a nervous side smirk Kurt's way, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation and sort of wishing he hadn't started this. But sex was an important subject and he knew how close Blaine and his brother had become and how much thought both guys would have put into their decision.

"All I can say is I'm happy for you dude and as long as you are both careful and talk about any problems or fears you have … I know you love each other and figure that is the most important thing yeah? So um enjoy your weekend and I'll see you later. But seriously, Kurt please call me if you need to ok! I'm here for you man. Sorry but I've gotta go 'n get ready to go to Rach's now. Love you man."

Kurt stands up from his bed and gives Finn a hug then with tears in his eyes and whispers into Finn's shirt. "Thanks Finn the same goes for you, and I know you will be gentle and take good care of Rachel. I love you too."

Finn pats his brother on the back and smiles before heading out the door to his own room and gathering a couple of changes of clothes, his bathroom bag and ' pharmacy supplies'. Making sure he had his wallet and phone as well. Before he jumped into the shower he stopped in the kitchen to grab a bite to eat, and while he was waiting for his mac-n- cheese to cook. He was thinking, he was nervous not about the sex part but … well maybe a little he didn't want to look like a fumbling idiot, but he knows his Rach won't expect him to be perfect and like she said they can learn together. Because if he has his way she will be the only girl he will ever want to be with so they will have plenty of time to perfect their moves. He was more scared of hurting her 'cause well, afterall he is a big guy and Rach is well tiny. If he hurt or scared her he'd never forgive himself… He shakes that thought out of his head and thinks about the stuff he found on the internet about sex, and knows he and Rach will figure it out together.

By the time he has eaten and showered, taking extra care to shave close, Finn is lounging on the sofa watching a football game closely watching the QB and making mental notes of his moves and the way he leads his team around the field. He still enjoys playing football but doesn't really see himself doing that as a career. He was thinking back to when the careers expo was on a couple of weeks ago at the local youth centre and the people from the Police and fire departments were there, he took a pile of brochures and has looked up more stuff on the internet and feels he could be good at either but he has 4 years at college to get through first, therefore he has thought really hard about what college courses will give him a better chance of gaining admittance. his thoughts then move to his and Rachel's college applications and how she and a lot of his teachers as well as Mrs Schuester in the student guidance office, have told him he is more than capable of getting into any one of the New York ones, Rach had been in touch with NAYADA and been told to apply as Madam Tibideaux apparently remembered the video's her Dads' had sent a few years ago, so they were working on their portfolio's and trying to make sure their applications were as good as possible.

At the sound of his mom's voice calling for some help to carry the groceries Finn jumps up from the couch to take a couple of bags from her earning a kiss on the cheek for his help.

"Thanks honey," Carole watches him as he puts the bags on the counter. "I thought you were going to Rachel's?" she says as she starts to unpack the groceries.

"Yeah I am later just wanted to see Kurt for a bit and see how he's doin'. Plus I was hopin' you have something yummy for dinner, 'cause you know I'm a growin boy and need to eat an' all. "

Carole just laughs and shakes her head at her son's ability to always be hungry, reaches up to kiss his cheek then ruffles his hair before turning to her groceries and deciding what to cook.

Finn was trying to watch some TV with Burt and his mom, impatiently waiting for Rach to call, hoping her family haven't had a change of plan, he was so looking forward to a couple of days playing house with his beautiful girlfriend, when about 7pm, his cell beeps with a new message, knowing it is from Rach he gets up and moves into the hall flips open his cell and smiles widely.

Sorry baby, everyone is gone finally; hope to see all of you soon stud, love you ;*)

He quickly walks back into the living room, says goodbye to his parents, gives his mom a kiss on the cheek and grabs his McKinley duffle bag from the bottom of the stairs yelling up to Kurt "Kurt, see you man, have fun" not hearing his brothers response he makes his way to his truck and climbs in, just before he puts it in gear he sends off a quick answer to Rach's text.

About time, can't wait, on my way beautiful, love you more; D

After a few intense minutes saying hello in the foyer, and making sure the front door is locked. Finn turns to move farther into the house but nearly trips over his duffle bag, dropped when his tiny vanilla scented, honey skinned, brunette ninja jumped on him. Don't get him wrong he wasn't complaining one bit but trying to walk through the house without dropping her was a bit tricky and Finn wasn't known to be overly sure footed. But he gently gripped Rachel's perfect bottom, as she wrapped her legs around his waist and locked her ankles over his butt, and her arms around his neck. Plump pink lips, pressing little kisses all over his face and neck, sexy little moans of pleasure leaving her throat every time he squeezed her bottom. Rach kept moving up and down in his arms and rubbing her centre against the now prominent bulge in his sweat pants.

"Oh babe if you keep doing things like that our fun will be over too quickly."

A soft, cute but at the same time seductive giggle bursts forth as Rachel unlocks her ankles and slides down Finn's hard body, making him groan deeply when she rubs his dick, before taking his large hand in her tiny one, tugging him towards the stairs and her bedroom, he grabs the handle of his duffle bag on the way. Once in her room Rachel without letting go of his hand sits on the edge of her bed and when Finn is sat next to her she leans up to press another couple of warm kisses against his soft lips.

"Hi"

"Hi"

"I'm sorry baby but Uncle Bob was caught up at work, and then Aunt Sally thought it would be a good idea to have dinner before they left, rather than when they got to the motel in Columbus."

Finn presses a deep kiss on his girl's mouth and rubs his free hand along her arm and down her side, gripping her hip gently and whispering against her neck.

"Baby don't worry about we still have plenty of time to spend together. Now what was that text about seeing all of me meant to mean huh?" he gives her a dimpled smile as he nuzzles his face into her neck again, nipping at the soft skin and running his tongue over the obvious red mark. At her sexy moan Finn feels his pants shrink again.

Rachel just leans up, as Finn reaches down and presses her lips against his and sliding one hand down his toned stomach to sneak under the waist band of his sweat pants. Finding what she was looking for and nervously stroking her boyfriend's firm shaft, smiling into their passion filled kiss at the deep grunt from his throat. Their intimate kiss interrupted by a low growl from Finn as he pulls away, his broad chest heaving with the need for air. He drops his face into Rachel's neck nuzzling, his nose into her sweet smelling hair.

"Oh Rach… please baby don't stop", he removes one hand from Rachel's waist and brings it down to push his sweats away from his now very aroused member, engulfing his girl's tiny hand with his own, gently guiding her actions to where he needs it, encouraging her to squeeze a bit harder and mumbling into her warm neck to go a bit faster and that he likes pressure on the tip.

"Baby?"

"Y-yeah Rach…" Finn mumbles through his panting breaths, his eyes closed in obvious enjoyment from Rachel's actions, which makes her heart swell, knowing she can give him such pleasure.

"Why don't we lay down Finny it will be much more comfortable."

As she slides off his lap, and wiggles against her mound of pillows waiting a moment till Finn has organised himself, her little skirt rides up her thighs and has Finn groaning when he catches a glimpse of her little pink and black satin panties.

"Oh man Rach you are killing me, you are so god damn sexy and you don't even know it."

"Well why you don't show me Mr Hudson."

"As you wish Miss Berry" so Finn sans sweat pants jumps on the bed trapping Rachel underneath his body and while one arm is holding his heavy body up so he doesn't squish her, his other is busy with his explorations under Rachel's little tank top and when his fingers come in contact with her warm breast, an unrestrained groan is released and he can do nothing but kiss her again, the electrical current swirling around his body is like nothing he has ever felt before. Finn clamps his lips over Rachel's again this time pressing his tongue against her mouth asking, well more like demanding to be let in. Another burst of electrical current passes between them as their tongues dance and their teeth nip each others lips.

When air becomes a desperate necessity Finn pulls away, his chest heaving and his head fuzzy with the depth of emotions swirling around his body.

"Oh Rach I love you so much … I c-can't hold it inside, you touch my heart every time and I'm so glad you are mine, because you make me want to be a better man, not just for me, but you as well. But the most important thing is you love me unconditionally but also let me be … well me and I am going to get to New York with you 'cause my heart will be there and I know without it I will only be a shadow of the man I could be."

Even though tears are streaming down her face Rachel says nothing she just gently presses her hands against Finn's chest indicating she wants to sit up smiling at the worried look on Finn's face, she takes hold of the bottom of her tank top and pulls it over her head and dropping it over the side of the bed, then moving her hand to the zip on her skirt, stopping her actions when she feels Finn's hand nudge hers out the way as he finishes the job. A few minutes and more kisses later Finn and Rachel are both naked and spending some time taking in the beauty of each others bodies.

Rachel licks her suddenly dry lips and offers Finn a bright smile before opening her arms and in more breath than speech utters "Please love me baby"

With tears in his own eyes Finn leans down and presses a soft kiss on Rachel's already swollen lips and as he reaches into his bag for the box little foil packets, a few minutes is spent organising the contents and sheathing himself, his eyes never leave his girl's. Then as he presses into her tight body a sharp cry bursts from Rachel, which automatically halts his movements, making him shed more tears because he has hurt her, damn his giant genes. Predicting his reaction Rachel cups his face in her hands and stretches her neck to kiss him making sure to maintain eye contact murmurs,

"I'll be ok in a minute baby; I want this please don't worry. I love you."

Rachel begins to move underneath and rubs her hands over his back and into his hair. Finn then starts to thrust gently at first then when he is sure his love is ok his actions become stronger, the in out movements forcing a series sexy moans and sighs from Rachel's still puffy red lips, her big beautiful brown eyes glazed with her passion.

"Oh R-Rach, baby I love you so much, but I don't think I can last much longer…"

Underneath him Rachel is lifting her hips to meet every one of his thrusts, her head rolling from side to side on the pillow and her breath coming in gasping fast breaths. "B-baby, please touch me I want to cum, with you…"

Finn nods into her neck nipping at her collarbone marking her with his passion, his hand caressing her breast on its way down her sweaty body till he reaches the spot they are joined and he presses on the little bud with his thumb.

A loud moan and he feels Rachel's juices gush over his member which in turn forces his own release, he thrusts a couple more times, his mouth finding Rachel's right breast and gently sucking on it, earning more moans and sighs from the stunning woman still moving with him until he stills his hips and rolls over never losing the wonderful connection with Rachel.

Chests heaving and fighting for air Finn kisses Rachel again.

"B-baby that was fantastic … I'm so sorry I hurt you, I love you."

Finny please don't be sad you didn't hurt me, and after we've had a little nap we will be doing that again, afterall we don't want that box of condoms to go past their use by date now do we, oh and FYI, Mr. Hudson I love you too forever and faithfully." She sends him a cheeky wink and snuggles against his chest pressing her lips on the warm salty skin just above his heart. Finn pulls the bedding up around their cooling bodies, wraps his arms around his world and nods into her hair.

"I love you more than you will never know baby, sleep tight."

Time moves on and before long it was nearly March, prom and graduation were only months away, so one Saturday, Rachel along with Kurt and Carole were in Columbus having a lunch and shopping day. Finn and Burt were working at the tire shop, as Finn was working as many hours as Burt would give him, and trying to save as much money as possible for New York, even though Rachel's parents had left her a very nice furnished apartment in their will, he still wanted to have his own money to support her. He had been extremely lucky in gaining a part scholarship through having a parent in the armed forces to N.Y.U; and had decided he wanted to join the police force after college. Rachel had heard back from N.Y.A.D.A with a positive result as well,

"I found a couple of dresses the last time I was here that I think will suit you perfectly darling" Carole said as the three walked into the mall.

"Thankyou for helping me Carole, I really appreciate it."

"Oh it is my pleasure dear, I hope you still like pink."

"Yes I do." Rachel giggles and loops her arm through Carole's as they walk through the busy mall.

"Ok then lets go the shop is called 'Society Girl'

Lunch time finds the three in the food hall before they continue with their shoes and accessories search, Rachel's prom gown, that Carole was happy to see, fitted her like a glove and looks so perfect on her tiny frame, is draped over the back of the empty chair next to her. As they had all wanted something different to eat, Rachel opted to stay at the table whilst the others went to get their lunch.

While Rachel was waiting in line at the busy 'Golden Geisha' Japanese takeaway, for her favorite bento box, her cell rang.

"Mom that dress you picked out for Rachel is absolutely stunning, I think a fancy up do , though maybe not as much as last year, I'm thinking maybe something more classic like a French roll…"

Smiling widely Carol nods and looks at the clear garment bag housing the soft pink gown "Thanks Kurt, the minute I saw it hanging in the window I knew it was the one for Rachel…, speaking of which where she is?

Kurt shrugs his shoulders and stands up to look around the large and very busy food hall, smiling when he sees his friend waiting in line at the Japanese take out, he could see she was on the phone and said to Carole.

"She is in line, and talking on the phone and going by the dreamy look on her face she is talking to Finn." His voice suddenly gets a scared quality to it, making Carole concerned. "The hell is going on…? Mom … some crazy woman has just knocked Rach over with her freaking cart…" Kurt takes off and runs over to Rachel

"Hello"

"Hi baby how's your day going? Did you find your dress?"

"Yes Finny I did it is beautiful… and yes it's pink, your Mom has excellent taste, I just hope I can get a date, hmm I wonder who I can go with I wonder if Jacob Ben Israel is free again this year…?" Rachel giggles at Finn's pretend offence, on the other end of the line before starting to speak again. "Baby you know there is only one man for me I love you, anyway baby my lunch order is ready I'll see you later on, bye Finn I love yo…. What the… OUCH…" a loud grunt of pain escapes Rachel's lips, as she lands on her side trapping her left arm underneath her body.

"RACH, Rachel… Baby what happened?" Finn's panicked voice echoing from the tiny device still clutched in her right hand.

But before she can say anything Kurt is at her side, he helps Rachel up off the floor and takes her cell from her hand telling Finn that some crazy person just barged straight into Rachel with a shopping cart, he spends a few minutes trying to calm Finn down enough to get his brother to listen to him

Once she is steady on her feet Rachel sees a familiar face, although now the blond hair is cut in a chin length bob, and dyed bright pink. A gold ring adorning one nostril and green eyes glaring with hate fully focused on Rachel. Kurt is standing protectively next to Rachel with an arm wrapped around her shoulders.

"Why are you still around hobbit? You'd better not still be sniffing around MY Finn, I thought I told you to crawl back to whatever fucking hole you came from last year …" Quinn doesn't even try to disguise the malice in her tone and practically spits the words at Rachel.

Standing up to her full height and in a voice like thunder Rachel faces the other girl. Even though she is only 5'2" tall she can sure project enough power with her voice, to make her seem 7 foot tall

"How dare you knock me over, what is the matter with you, did you not learn from last year that your atrocious behaviour and attitude gets you nothing and if you are still of the opinion that Finn Hudson is going to be yours you are sadly misguided?"

Carole has turned up with their bags and Rachel's dress over her shoulder; dragging a mall security guard with her, worriedly asking if she is ok and taking Kurt's place next to the tiny brunette.

"Oh my, darling are you hurt?" she turns to the guard which causes the clear dress bag to attract Quinn's attention, "Can you please do something about this uncalled attack on my daughter."

"DAUGHTER! What the fuck?" Quinn spits out, she turns to Rachel who is holding her sore wrist against her chest, leaning her head on Kurt's shoulder, who unbeknownst to the blonde, is still holding Rachel's connected cell meaning Finn is hearing every word back in Lima.

"What? You're a capital G fucking GAY! Don't tell me that you thought marrying this ugly freak would make people believe you were straight, HA, HA what a joke."

At this Carole steps in front of Rachel staring down Quinn Fabray and in her most authoritive voice speaks,

"How dare you, who do you think you are huh? To speak and act like you do to people who have done nothing to you, whatsoever, and if it is any of your business, which I'm very pleased to say it isn't. Rachel is with my Finn and extremely happy." Carole then turns back to the guard and says "can you please make a citizens arrest as there were plenty of witnesses to say that this girl attacked Rachel first with a cart."

Kurt was guiding Rachel away so they could get some ice on her now swollen wrist, but just as they moved a few steps away Quinn lands an open hand across Rachel's cheek, making her stumble with the force, then hissing in a cold voice dripping venom, "I told you before bitch to stay away from Finn Hudson, HE IS MINE!"

Poor Rachel was beside her self with pain and anger at the other girl's words and did something so way out of her normal sphere of placid behaviour it left both Carole and Kurt speechless with disbelief.

Without saying a word she balled her little fist up and pulled her right arm back harnessing all her internal strength and channelling the hurt and anger from years of abuse dished out by people like Quinn Fabray, and let her fist fly, and land with a loud cracking sound on Fabray's nose. Then nodded at the guard, and walked away Kurt and Carole following her in shock, though inside they were cheering Rachel on as it was about time that blonde witch was put in her place. The cries of pain and a tirade of F-bombs followed by vicious threats, drowned out by the guard telling Quinn that he was making a citizens arrest until the police arrived , and that she deserved what the tiny brunette had done to her, trailed off into the distance as the three made their way out of the mall.

Carole had called Finn to say they were stopping off at the hospital in Lima to get Rachel checked out and would then come straight home, she said she had also called Rachel's Aunt Sally and explained what had happened and if it was ok could Rachel stay with them for a while as Rachel was extremely upset wanted to be with Finn.

After his mom called Finn decided to go over to the Pierce house and pack a bag for Rach; thankfully Aunt Sally was home and allowed him to grab some things. She was obviously very concerned about her niece and thanked Finn for everything, they had always got on well and Sally appreciated what he had done for her Brittany a few years ago. 20 minutes later Finn is back in his truck on his way home. Rach's rolling pink case next to him on the seat, his mind is trying to think of some way to get this crazy person to leave him and Rach alone, it's been over a year since the last time she hurt Rach. Ugh why can't she just go away, they had nothing, not even a casual friendship between them so why is she still hanging on? Finn smacks an open hand on the steering wheel in frustration

Finn was waiting on the front porch, (well more pacing like a caged lion) for his family to return home from Columbus, Finn's temper was about ready to explode, every time he thought about that fucking crazy, insane blonde bitch. But 20 minutes later when Kurt's black navigator pulled into the driveway Finn was down the steps in a flash. He hardly waits for the car to stop fully, before he is trying to open the door and wrap Rachel in a strong hug, and when he sees the solid brace on her left wrist and an ice pack wrapped around her tiny right hand. A strangled moan forces its way up his throat along with what feels like his lunch. He is fuming with anger at the pain he can see in Rachel's beautiful brown eyes. So he picks her up bridal style and carries her to the house, disregarding her attempts to tell him she is perfectly ok to walk. Finn lays Rachel gently on the sofa, and with his eyes moist with unshed tears, taking hold of her hands mindful of the bandages asks what happened, his soft eyes turning hard as he listens.

He doesn't hear Kurt or his mom and Burt come in until his mom offers Rachel a couple of tablets and a glass of water, which she quickly swallows. Then mom runs a hand over Rach's forehead and asks

"Would you like something to eat?" at Rach's head shake mom just nods then leans down and presses a kiss where her hand was only moments before, and says "ok well try and get some rest darling the doctor said those pain tablets will probably make you a bit drowsy," she turns to leave the room motioning for the others to go with her but turns at the doorway and says, "I am so very proud of you darling for standing up for your self and I am more than proud to call you my daughter."

Three weeks after the trip to Columbus, Rachel receives a letter from the Columbus Police department and Court house, to say that due to the large number of witness's to the incident between herself, and a Ms Quinn Fabray in the Westend Mall, and Judge Beckett has decided to charge Ms Fabray with assault. All they required Rachel to do is send in a written statement and receipts or accounts due of any medical bills resulting from injuries received. There was also going to be no charges laid against Rachel for punching Ms Fabray in the face as it was deemed self defence. An advertising company who had been taping a TV advert at the mall that day had apparently caught the whole confrontation on tape and sent it to the police. Rachel was happy that finally the whole nasty business was behind her and she could get on with the rest of senior year, she didn't even want to know what the court had ordered as punishment for Quinn Fabray she just wanted to forget.

Aunt Sally and Carole went with Rachel and Finn to New York one weekend in mid April, for Rachel's interview at NYADA and Finn's at NYU on the Saturday. Which went extremely well for both kids, then on the Sunday the four went over to the Berry apartment to check it out speak to the building super to make sure the apartment would be cleaned and ready for the young couple to move into after the summer. As much as Rachel was excited about moving back to New York with Finn for college she was still hurting even after all this time that her Dads' wouldn't be there, for the next stage in her life.

The New Directions were all keyed up and ready for the National show choir competition in Chicago the weekend before prom and at the last meeting before they left Mr Schue was making the final adjustments to their set list, travel plans and costumes.

"Guys I am so, so very proud of you all for a group that has only been together for a year to win every competition to get you to Nationals is absolutely fantastic and I can't thank you enough, plus the exposure you have all given glee club has encouraged lots of other kids to have a go." He chuckles as he holds up a bundle of A4 papers. "These papers are full of kid's names who have begged me to let them audition for next year's club and I have to say some are brilliantly talented. So thankyou now to this year's club why don't we get into position and run through our full set list just like we will be doing on Saturday, minus costumes. Ready from the top." Everyone laughs and claps their hands along with their teachers signature hand clap.

The atmosphere in the bus on the trip home from Chicago was electric not one voice could be distinguished from another as the kids from New Directions in Lima Ohio sang on repeat their set list that had won them the coveted national show choir trophy, over a 100 other glee clubs in the entire United States of America. The 6' trophy had pride of place on the floor of the front seat held in securely by a seatbelt. And had four pillows packed around it to protect it from bumping against the window. Even though it was close to midnight when Mr Schue and the new directions kids arrived at the parking lot of McKinley high school the 14 kids were showing no signs of tiredness and after unpacking their gear and bidding each other a goodnight, they all dispersed to their lifts and made their way home.

After Rachel made sure Mr Schue had locked their new shiny trophy away in the choir room she, Melanie and Finn made their way to Finn's truck for the short ride home. Melanie got out and went inside first leaving her cousin and boyfriend to say their goodnights.

Moving along the seat and scooping Rachel onto his lap Finn presses a series of small kisses all over her little face that was glowing with happiness looking her straight in the eyes said tenderly

"We did so good babe I can't believe our little club was the best of the best in the whole country, thankyou for helping me see that it was the right choice to join, I felt so alive and like nothing could bring me down when I was up on that stage singing with you, I felt when we were halfway through our last song that we had won."

Another series of kisses that involved lots of tongue action and the touching of bare skin under clothing soon had Finn's jeans undone and as Rachel pulled her panties to the side and lowered herself onto Finn's stiff member, the sounds escaping from their throats mingled in the confined space of the truck cab and sounded like music, their own lovers symphony. When they finally came down from their highs Rachel was slumped against Finn's heaving chest as he pressed a multitude of little kisses atop her head.

Still connected as one Rachel mumbles into Finn's neck "Oh baby I love you so much and I can't wait to go to New York with you and make some new happy memories in the city."

"I love you too for ever Rach and I promise I will do everything can to make the bad memories disappear and do everything in my power to keep you safe from those sort of awful hateful people. That's why I'm focusing my college courses on subjects that will make sure I can join the police force and maybe after a few years the FBI. But for now I will just love you." He lifts her teary face from his neck and presses another deep kiss on her swollen lips, before lifting her off his lap and straightening her clothes. "Now off you go to bed baby girl, sweet dreams I'll call you tomorrow or later today I guess, I love you Rachel Berry"

"I love you more Finn Hudson and thankyou for everything goodnight baby."

Finn gets out and rushes around to the passenger door and as he lifts Rachel out he whispers in her ear, "If you say so, but just remember baby we are Finchel which means endgame."

Finn takes hold of Rachel's hand and duffle bag and walks her to the front door leans down to kiss her again and when he knows she has locked the door he walks back to his truck. Just as he is pulling into his driveway his cell beeps with a text from Rach he opens it with a smile to read his smile growing wider when all that is on the tiny screen is 3 U 4 eva :-* he immediately replies with a 3 u more :-D

The smile never leaves his face as Finn grabs his own bag and makes his way as quietly as possible into the house and up stairs to bed, after changing into his PJ's he falls asleep dreaming of his future with his tiny brunette princess by his side.

Rachel had found the rest of her outfit for prom in the local Lima mall and was happily showing Melanie everything before Kurt arrived at lunch time, to as he said "dispense my magic" and when Rachel walked down the stairs to meet Finn at 6: pm no truer words had ever been uttered, because the goddess that descended, encased in a pale pink strapless floor length sheath dress, with her waist length brunette tresses contained in a simple but elegant French roll surrounded by sparkling pins in the shape of stars, and subtle make up that enhanced her already beautiful features, every one in the house was speechless. Poor Finn felt like he had walked in on a dream and for a few minutes saw Rachel in another dress this time a white one with a lace veil hiding her beautiful face from him. He is shaken from his thoughts by a soft kiss on his open mouth as Rachel is suddenly standing infront of him giggling at his stunned face.

"Hi Finny, are you going to tell me how pretty I look?"

He shakes his head to clear the fog and looks at his girl, takes a deep swallow making his Adam's apple bob and forgetting all about the other people in the room, says tenderly. "You look amazing Rach, I love you." Then with a shaky hand presents her with the pink carnation corsage with a dark brown ribbon.

"Oh! Finn it's beautiful and the ribbon matches my eyes, thankyou baby."

"I know that's why I chose that color…"

A loud throat clearing behind them makes the love struck couple turn towards the sound and realizing both their families were standing in a group, cameras in hand Finn and Rachel sheepishly moved apart though only slightly and prepared themselves for the barrage of camera flashes and the numerous perfect photo positions. After what seemed like 2000 shots later, Finn was guiding his girl down the driveway and into the white Mercedes Benz stretch limousine waiting there, the uniformed driver standing by the open passenger door.

A happy surprised squeal from Rachel and the extra tight squeeze of his arm had Finn smiling extra wide, "Oh Baby … but are you sure? … I mean it is expensive"

Finn just leans down to press a kiss on Rachel's pink lips, and as he pulls away he whispers in her ear "Don't worry baby, I wanted the best for my princess do you like it"

"Yes Finny I love it thankyou" Rachel hugs him around the middle and places a tiny hand over his heart before lifting it to her lips then pressing it over her own heart.

Finn is overwhelmed with love for his woman and as he thanks the driver guides Rachel into the cavernous leather clad interior of the limo, where they sit snuggled together enjoying the posh car and the sounds of Journey's faithfully playing softly over the speakers. The ride was over much too quickly and before they knew it they were pulling into the carpark at McKinley and waiting in line as the other fancy cars stopped at the beginning of the red carpet that was the entrance to the gym. The decorating committee had gone for a Hollywood awards theme this year, so there were giant golden statues and ushers in top hats and white gloves, the place looked amazing.

Thanking their driver when it was their turn to exit onto the red carpet Finn and Rachel stopped for their photos, Finn bent his neck slightly to whisper in Rachel's ear "This is your future baby when you get to Broadway, you were born to be a star."

Rachel beamed up at his smiling face and kissed him again not realizing the photographer had taken the shot. They made their way up the carpet waving at their friends as they went. Finn guided Rachel to a table at the side of the room happy to see Mercedes and Sam sitting there.

"Hi guys, wow you both look great, it's hard to believe this is our smelly old gym." Finn says as he pulls out a chair for Rachel next to Mercedes who immediately start chatting about how exciting it is and complementing each other on their dresses and hair do's.

"Hey Finn, yeah man, that's what I said to Cedes when we walked in , but the red carpet was something else did you guys get stopped by that creepy Jacob kid shoving his damn microphone in your face asking for the 'inside goss' on the king and queen candidates?"

Finn chuckles at Sam's use of air quotes and says "No man, thank goodness, we must have been the lucky ones, although that guys is always sending me weird looks like he want to get rid of me or something, he thinks I've stolen his girl, I know last year he was always following Rach around and proposing they get together and work through his creepy hand drawn book of sex positions."

Sam shivers with the thought and changes the subject to talk of college and how both he and Mercedes had got into colleges in California so they wouldn't have to try and deal with the long distance thing, as he knew she was the one for him." Finn just nods his head in agreement looking sideways at his girl, her little face glowing with happiness as she is now explaining something to her friend using expressive hand gestures

After 15 minutes or so Rachel decides she wants to dance and grabs Finns hand, dragging him out of his chair. "Come on baby dance with me?" Finn groans but lets his girl haul his giant butt to the dance floor. They find a spot on the outside of the crowd and as Rachel loops her arms around his neck, and presses her soft cheek against his chest. Finn circles his arms around her waist and pulls her body closer to his, the music changes from the thumping dance beat, to a slow romantic song which suited Finn just fine, and as the lights dim, he smiles into Rach's hair at the soft sigh leaving her mouth as they just sway in one spot.

After a while and a few more dances with Rachel, he and Sam sat and watched their girls dance together, it was time for the prom court announcements, He clapped Sam on the back and wished him and Mercedes good luck as Sam took Mercedes, hand and led her up to the stage to stand with the other candidates Rachel had tears in her eyes hoping her friends was crowned king queen as they deserved it, Finn is standing with his arms wrapped around her, her back resting against his front, watching the proceedings on the makeshift stage, when he feels her shiver and leans down to speak softly in her ear.

"Are you alright baby?"

"Hmm, yes honey I'm ok I was just remembering junior prom and what went down, but I'm so happy we got through all of that crap and now that senior year is nearly done we have our new lives in New York to think about, and I for one can't wait to start a new journey with the man I love."

"The man you love huh? Well I doubt there is another man out there who could love you more than me… unless you count Jacob and his weird creepy book, but that fro certainly is a selling point not to mention his groovy dance moves and stylish 1970's powder blue tux he's rockin over there, do you know he hasn't taken his eyes off your beautiful sexy body all night, and I'm worried that if I leave to go to the bathroom, which FYI, I really need to, you might forget about me by the time I get back, and I really don't want to get into a fight at prom, he looks freakin' scary, can you feel my knees knocking?" he wiggles his hips causing his crotch to grind into Rachel's bottom.

A loud unlady snort leaves Rachel's nose, and as she spins around in Finn's arms, she reaches up to pull his face down to her level and slams her mouth over his swallowing his sexy groan, and demanding entry to his mouth with her tongue before they tangle for an intense make out session, his hands have slipped down to cup her butt, squeezing every few minutes and loving the sounds escaping her throat, his legs feel like jelly at the intensity of his girls actions. Thankful they are on the edge of the crowd and partially hidden by the potted palm trees. Finn presses his tiny fire cracker of a girlfriend harder against his body moaning when he feels her rubbing her pelvis up and down his now hard erection, which is straining against his suit pants.

Panting heavily Rachel pulls away after a few minutes, she looks up at her man with her big brown eyes hooded with desire and want, "F-Finn Hudson, that is one thing you will never have to worry about my love, because you are mine just as I am yours and nobody, do you hear me nobody is ever going to change that, and furthermore Rachel Hudson will look better on autographed playbills than Rachel Ben-Israel. Plus I'm only turned on by very tall lopsided dimpled smiles, messy brown hair, warm cinnamon eyes and huge dicks. And from where I'm standing your man Jacob over there has none of that, so I think I will keep you, but just to put your mind at rest maybe I could come with you to the bathroom … to help you, that zipper does look a bit tricky… or you know just to protect you?"

"You Miss Berry are a wicked girl for suggesting such wanton behaviour…, but if you can sneak out without raising anyone's suspicions and meet by the limo later on, maybe we can come to some sort of decision about suitable punishment."

Another burst of loud giggles escape her now puffy red lips as she turns to once again face the stage just as Principal Figgins starts to announce the king and queen .

Principal Figgins, starts to speak his monotone accented drawl making the whole proceedings take a lot longer than was really necessary.

"Welcome students to the 2014 McKinley High School prom, now it is my very great pleasure to announce this years king and queen as voted by you, and what a terrific group of candidates we have had this year, but with out further ado Please put your hands together for your King Sam Evans and his queen Mercedes Jones."

A loud cheer went up as Sam and Mercedes walked forward to receive their crowns, then the music started to play as they made their way through the crowd of kids who cleared the dance floor like the parting of the red sea for their royal dance, once the song finished another loud cheer and round of applause followed Sam and Mercedes off the floor. Everyone else then got back to the business of slow dancing with their dates, for the last 30 minutes or so that was left of the night.

Once the limo dropped Finchel off at the Hudmel house, Finn helped Rachel into his truck and after he had backed onto the street and was driving towards the lake he took hold of Rachel's hand and pressed it to his mouth reiterating how much he loves her, Rachel had moved into the middle of the seat and reattached her seat belt so could lean her head on his shoulder and after kissing him on the cheek started to softly sing.

"Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

But how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air"

Just as Rachel finishes the last bit of the song Finn has pulled the truck into their spot at the lake and turned off the ignition and lights and with just the moon light casting shadows over them, he turns to his girl and says tenderly

"Oh Rach that's exactly how I feel baby, I know I've probably said this before but I'm so very glad you came to live in Lima, but not the reason you did and I wish with everything that I could bring back your Dad's, but out of that awful sadness and tragedy it gave us the chance to find each other, and be happy and look forward to an ever better and brighter future, that is one reason I want to be a police officer to help bring those sort of asshole bastards who go around hurting decent innocent people and tearing their families apart to justice. But also I think I'd be good at it and really feel I have a lot of good qualities that would make a good caring policeman… I have you to thank for helping me see I was more than Lima Ohio, and could do or be whatever I choose to be. And I know with everything I have, that I will always do my best to make you feel safe and loved and won't let anybody hurt you again in any way."

Through her sobs all Rachel could do was nod her head and press her lips against her boyfriends, and think to herself that she was the luckiest girl in the entire universe. Eventually she calmed down enough to speak, and climbs onto Finn's lap

"You Finn Hudson are the most perfect man in the world and I promise to always be there for you in anyway I can, but it is me who should thank you… because when I arrived in Lima I was a shell of the girl I had been, I didn't go out of my way to try and make friends, probably in part due to the years of trying and failing and believing all the horrid things the other kids said, but you were the first boy to boy who made me feel loved, and sexy, and visible. You are my first love. And I want more than anything for you to be my last. I promise you I will always have your back, so you'd better tell all those skanky trollops at NYU to keep their grubby hands off."

"Oh man Rach; I love you so freakin' much, maybe I should get a tattoo on my forehead that reads 'property of Rachel Berry' I would you know… "

"I know you would baby but it might clash with your police cap … but you know speaking of tattoos… I happen to think it is a very sexy idea I can just see you with a tribal design around your upper right arm, and I could get a butterfly or something on my hip or the words believe on my wrist and your name over my heart, but enough talking. I do believe you said something about punishment for wicked girls and I have to say Mr Hudson I'm feeling very naughty." Rachel looks at Finn through hooded eyes that are twinkling with mischief and slowly licks her lips before pressing another deep kiss on Finn's mouth as she starts to rub her little hand over the now hard bulge in his pants."

At the growl that leaves his swollen lips Finn starts to tickle her knowing exactly where her most ticklish spots are, and somehow manages to release the lever that reclines the trucks bench seat. Through some amazing gymnastics, within seconds he has managed to remove her dress and his pants whilst she was busy with the buttons on his shirt, not bothering with the logistics of removing said shirt as the passion shared between them was too great. Within seconds Rachel has lowered herself onto Finn's rock hard member and their simultaneous cries echo around the tiny space. When they are spent and still connected Finns kisses his love on the cheek whispering his thanks and love.

Finn smiles at the mumbled "I love you too Finny" before cute little snores tell him Rachel is asleep. He manages with a little wiggling to one handed to reach the blanket he keeps under the seat and drapes it over Rachel's body. Pressing another kiss on her forehead he wraps his arms around her petite body and loses himself in slumber, his dreams filled with his future and the woman sleeping peacefully on his chest.

"Please put your hands together and congratulate McKinley high school's senior graduating class of 2014"

As the shower of red mortarboards' fall to the stage floor, Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry, make their way down the stairs to join their families who are bursting with pride at the awards and commendations the pair received.

"I'm so proud of you Rachie; NAYADA won't know what hit them." Brittany hugs her cousin and kisses her on the cheek then turns to Finn, just as Rachel is pulled into a hug by Carole she lowers her voice not that it really mattered with the amount of noise in the auditorium. "I'm so very proud of you too Finn, not only for your academic awards but for how you have helped Rachie I knew the first time you laid eyes on her that you would be good for her, so thankyou." Brittany swipes a hand underneath her eyes and sniffs.

"Aw Britt thankyou but I have to tell you she's helped me just as much, I never had much confidence that I was good enough to get out of this town but since meeting Rach I have grown and now know that nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself, and knowing she is not only there to help me and back me up but love me for who I am is the best feeling in the world and I feel so very blessed to have been the guy to be loved by her, she is my everything Britt."

"Well done Berry, you've come a long way, and now you're going too take the big apple by storm, I'm proud of you."

"Thanks Santana, you know in a way I have to thank you," Santana sends the brunette a quizzical look before Rachel smiles and continues nodding her head. "Yeah, well ever since that very first football game when you insulted me and said those awful things and I answered back, do you remember?"

The taller girl nods and looks shamefaced opening her mouth to say something but is cut off by Rachel's palm over her mouth.

"That night when I said I'd never apologise to anyone for being exactly who I am, gave me the strength to stand up for myself then of course there was the first of the psycho blonde barbie altercations the next day , well I decided I was tired of being everyone's punching bag, then when Britt told me Finn was interested in me I thought that maybe I was worthy of being loved and appreciated , I mean I can't ever forget my Dads and the reason I came to be in Lima but I'm thankful that I finally found my place, and now Finn and I are going to New York. A new chapter in the Rachel Berry book of life is about to begin."

Santana just nods and hugs Rachel close, tears streaming from her dark eyes whispers in Rachel's ear, that she is sorry for ever saying those things and she is so glad everything has turned out for the better, and to enjoy her college time, but not to forget to let her know when she and Finn get married as she looks super hot in a bridesmaid's dress. And she wants to boast that Broadway's newest star is her cousin in law,"

Rachel understands what her friend is meaning and giddily claps her hands and simply asks "When?"

Looking around to make sure Britt isn't listening, Santana says quietly "well it's Britt's birthday in August and as we will still be home for the summer, I thought I'd do it at her birthday party." Rachel squeals and hugs her friend, garnering a strange look from Finn who has extricated himself from his mother's tight grip and made his way over to his girlfriend. He wraps his long arms around Rachel's waist from behind and leans down to press a kiss on her cheek.

"Hey Baby, Hi Santana,"

"Hey Finnocence, well done up there and I hear NYU had better look out, those girls will be wetting their panties and burying you with slips of paper with their phone numbers, every time you walk down a hallway, I've got to say you are one good looking piece of manhood. I hope Rachel is prepared to carry a big stick around with her to beat the slavering mutts off with."

"Um thanks I guess, but don't worry I'm a one woman man so those other girls will be wasting their time, post it notes and pen ink."

Santana burst into gales of loud laughter that caught the attention of a few other people in the vicinity. "I hope you never change Hudson, Berry make sure you keep a tight hold of his dick, though I don't reckon you'd have to hold too tightly he is yours." with that parting shot she walks away still laughing to join Britt and her family.

"Ya know some of our friends are pretty strange, but you know you have nothing to worry about, with other girls I mean?"

Rachel pulls away from Finn's grasp and reaches up to cup his face in her tiny hands, before pulling his face gently towards hers. She kisses him on the lips tenderly and whispers just for his ears,

"I know I don't baby" another deeper kiss, "do you know why?"

Finn nods and Rachel smiles brightly and says

"I'm just a girl who loves you"
