The last day of school is finally here and Stella and Fyero can't wait for summer vacation. Rachel on the other hand was not so excited about it. She'd have all four kids home and Finn's work schedule would be changing, so everything was going to be completely chaotic. Even worse was the fact that she would be doing a lot of consulting for shows out of state for work.
But in some ways she was glad it was the last day of school. She was glad because Fyero's freshman year had practically been like living hell for him. Rachel was also glad because it meant she'd have more time with Fyero and Stella because they'd be home before four o'clock, which was when the twins start to get really fussy. She made coffee for Fyero and herself that morning so they could chat.
"Any big plans for after school today?" she asks him.
"No just doing one last killer duet in the court yard with Elizabeth and then Eric and I are going to the Lima Bean. Ethan and Elizabeth are going with us. It's kind of a group date."
"Sounds nice, show me that duet later."
"I will, bye mom I have to go. I love you."
"Love you too, kick some ass with Elizabeth today!"
"Mom!" Fyero whines smiling and shutting the door behind him.
At nine, Rachel drops Stella of at preschool, and brings the twins in to show everyone.
The twins are starting to smile some now, and it was the cutest thing. Rachel takes them on a walk and they smile at her. "You guys like summer time, don't you?" she coos.
Meanwhile, at McKinley Fyero is super excited about his last report card for this year.
"Guess who has straight A's?" he cheerfully asks Elizabeth
"Oh, I don't know , you?" she asks.
"Yes!"
"Me too!"
"We keep it going this way and-"
"Hello NYADA." Elizabeth finishes almost automatically.
"Ohmygod! I'll die if I get into that school!
"Ditto."
"Can you imagine? Us. Performing arts college, In New York. Totally freaking awesome!"
"I know!... But right now we should totally be doing our impromptu number."
"Right. Let's do this!"
They decided on "Good Time" by Owl City Featuring Carly Rae Jepsen and it turned out to be absolutely amazing…. And the best part...no slushie facials.
"So what now?" Elizabeth asks.
"To The Lima Bean?" Fyero asks back
"To The Lima Bean."
They got to The Lima Bean and Eric was already there waiting. "Hey gorgeous." He said smiling at Fyero.
"Why, hello there Handsome" Fyero said smiling back at his boyfriend very lovingly.
"Um Eric, where's my greeting, like hello, I've hung out with you and my cousin like about a hundred times." Elizabeth says jokingly.
"Well hello to you too Elizabeth. " Eric replies joking back.
Five minutes later, Ethan arrives kissing Elizabeth on the cheek. She finds him very cute. With Quinn's blonde hair, and Puck's eyes, it's hard not to.
While sipping their coffees, Eric grabs Fyero's hand and squeezes it lovingly. Fyero's hands still tingle every time Eric does that. They talk for a while, the couples flirt, soaking in the first few moments of their summer loves.
Walking out of the parking lot, when nobody is watching them (Eric respects the fact that Fyero doesn't want to do anything more then hold hands and hug in front of people because of how much the bullying has scarred him),Eric kisses Fyero on the lips, it's a very soft and very gentle kiss, and it leaves Fyero with a milllon butterflies floating around in his stomach.
After leaving, Fyero and Elizabeth go to house for their end of school celebration, Elizabeth always sleeps over on the last day of school. After about ten minutes celebrity gossip, Fyero decides he can't keep his secret from Elizabeth anymore , so he just blurts out "ERIC KISSED ME!"
"OH MY GOD AWWWWWW! Is he a good kisser?!" Elizabeth asks curiously.
"Yes!" Fyero says blushing
"Come on, we are going to living room, you have to tell your parents"
"But but but but Lizzie! I don't want to tell them! They'll embarrass me!"
"No buts Fyero, now come on! They'll be so happy for you! " reluctantly Fyero lets his cousin drag him to the living room.
"Mom, Dad, guess what?" Fyero says nervously.
"What?" his parents answer in unison
"Eric kissed me!"
"Awwwwwwwww, My son is in looove!" Rachel teases.
"Mom! Stop!" Fyero squeals
"But, Buddy you know it's true!" Finn teases
Fyero goes back to his room still feeling majorly embarrassed.
"I'm really glad that Fyero found Eric he's so much happier now." Finn says to Rachel after Fyero leaves the living room.
"Me too. He's such an amazing kid it was so hard to see him feeling so down all the time." Rahel replies, the memories of her son's horrible time flooding through her head."
"I think he has really gotten better, he's more confident now and he's not afraid to be himself anymore."
"I always knew he was going to be a brave kid."
A few minutes later, Rachel takes the twins into Fyero's room so he can see them. He's barely seen them all day and he loves them to death.
"They want to see you." She says placing Christopher in Fyero's arms.
"Hey little bro, I've missed you. God you're growing so fast." Fyero says letting his little brother's tiny precious fingers wrap around his big ones.
Rachel then takes Christopher from Fyero and gives him Alexis.
"You are such a pretty little girl." Fyero tells his sister kissing her tiny cheek.
"It amazes me how much you love them." Rachel tells Fyero.
She then takes the babies to Stella's room because Stella absolutely adores her little brothers and sister.
"Look who I brought to see you." Rachel tells Stella lying the babies down on the bed next to her.
"Mommy! They're getting so big now." Stella says smiling.
"They are, aren't they?" Rachel replies smiling back her daughter.
"Was I as tiny as they are?"
"You were actually smaller. You were a very tiny baby."
"I was?"
"Yes Honey, you were very small. But you'll always be tiny, you're like me."
"Am I going to be a star like you Mommy? I want to be a star."
"You are, you and your big brother, and maybe even the twins are all going to be stars someday!"
"You really think so, Mommy?"
"I know so."
That night Rachel absolutely not stop smiling. She knew this summer was going absolutely positively perfect. She just knew.
I really enjoyed writing this chapter, so I'd love to know what you guys think of it! Please review!
