Rachel sighs, she doesn't want to leave for her work trip tomorrow, not at all. She will be gone for three full days. Goodness, she doesn't want to leave her kids. She was going to be so worried about them while she was gone. Especially the twins, she hadn't left them once since they were born. They'd be in good hands though, Fyero and Elizabeth were going to watch them so Finn could still go to work. She also knew that Finn would be fine taking care of the kids after work without her there. He was practically perfect at being a dad. Rachel sighs again, but this time Finn hears her.
"What's wrong?" he asks
"Oh, I just don't want to leave the kids tomorrow." Rachel replies frowning.
"I know, but it's only for three days, and they'll be fine, I promise."
The next morning came quicker than Rachel wanted it to.
"You four be good for your father." She said before heading out the door for the airport.
She kisses all four children on the cheek and spends a little more time than she expected saying goodbye, because then Finn called out "Honey, we need to go if you wanna make your flight."
"Bye guys love you!" Rachel says shutting the door behind her.
Finn gets home from dropping Rachel off at the airport and the first thing he hears is the sound of Christopher's cries. He discovers Christopher doesn't need fed or changed, so he figures he just misses his mommy, Christopher's kind of a momma's boy.
"I know Buddy, you miss Mommy, don't you? She'll be back soon enough, I promise." Finn says gently stroking Christopher's tiny head.
When the twins fell asleep, Finn deiced that he would ask Stella and Fyero if they wanted to watch a movie. They decided to watch The Lion King. It's an old family favorite, Finn used to watch it all the time when he was little, and he probably watched it with Fyero at least twice a week when he was about four years old. When the movie is about half way over, Stella falls asleep, so Finn carries to her room and lays her down on her bed.
"Goodnight Stell Bell, I'll see you in the morning. Sweet dreams, Princess" he says pulling the covers over her and kissing her on the cheek.
In the morning, Finn is greeted by one of his daughter's famous giant bear hugs. "Morning Daddy." Stella says.
"Why, good morning Stell." Replies Finn tickling Stella's side.
"Daddy! Stop it!"
"Nope, not until you say please."
"Pleeeaaaase?"
"Oh, alright"
"Daddy? Do you have to go to work today?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Why?
"Just because, I have to, Sweetheart."
"But I don't want you to go."
"I know you don't, but I have to. We'll do something when I get home from work, I promise."
"Okay."
"Be good, alright?"
"I will, bye Daddy! I love you!"
"Good. I love you too, Sweetheart. I'll see you later okay? Bye."
Babysitting was fairly easy for Fyero and Elizabeth. Stella just played with Juliet, and the twins were easy all they had to was change and feed them. He liked babysitting, but at the same time Fyero couldn't wait till he was done because he was going to dinner with Eric.
"Lizzie, I don't know what to wear!" Fyero whined
"Wear army green, it makes your eyes pop, and you told me Eric always says you have pretty eyes, so he'll like that."
"Thanks you are a lifesaver!"
"No problem! Tell me how it goes!"
"I will I promise!"
When Finn gets home from work he barely even sees Fyero because Eric comes to pick him up a few minutes later.
At the restaurant Fyero and Eric are having a nice time talking and laughing and flirting, when Fyero takes Eric's hand a boy walks by and whispers "Fags" Fyero hears him and tears start dripping down his cheek.
"You want to go away from here? Let's get you home." Eric says wrapping his arms around Fyero.
"Eric. I'm so sorry. It's just that I am still fragile"
"Babe, it's okay I don't care if you cry in front of me. You're hurting, and I'll stay here because I love you."
When Fyero gets home he's balling his eyes out. Finn immediately goes over to him. "Oh my goodness, Buddy, what happened?" He asks Fyero.
"This jerk at the restaurant… he … he… he called me and Eric fags!"
"Buddy, that's horrible! But it's going to be alright because I'm here. I'm here for you. Always, whenever you need me I'll be here always. If this ever happens again let me know, and I'll go kick some ass Okay? I love you so much!"
"Thanks Dad. I love you too." Fyero says letting his father hug him.
Fyero goes to his room and refuses to come out. So Finn goes in there to talk to him.
"Still upset?" he asks.
"Yeah, I just thought I was getting better." Fyero says sighing.
"You are. The population of douche bags in Lima, Ohio is just increasing that's all."
a small smile appears on Fyero's face. "You're right" he says.
"If anyone has a problem with you and Eric being in love you just tell them to fuck of, Alright?
"I can do that."
"Good, now cheer up because you deserve to be happy."
The next morning when Finn is on his way to work, Rachel calls him.
"Morning, Honey." he says into the phone.
"You miss me?" Rachel asks him.
"Of course I do."
"How are the kids."
"They're fine. Fyero had a bit of a rough night, but he's okay now."
"Oh dear, what happened?"
"This complete ass hole called him and Eric fags while they were at dinner.
"Poor thing, I bet it hurt him pretty bad."
"It did, the poor kid was balling his eyes out, I felt so bad for him"
"I'm glad he's alright now. Do the kids miss me?"
"OH yeah. They miss you a whole lot."
"I miss them too, are the twins doing alright?"
"They're doing fine, but Christopher seems to miss you an awful lot. I swear, he's such a little momma's boy."
"He really is isn't he? Has he been too fussy?"
"Not really, but I can tell he misses you. he'll cry out of nowhere and I think that's why, ya know, because he misses you"
"Aww, he's just precious"
"He is, all the kids have been really good, no trouble.
"That's good. I have to go. Tell the kids I love them I love you, bye"
"I will, I love you too bye."
At work, Finn can hardy even focus. He feels so bad that he has to be at work instead of at home with his kids. God, he missed them, they were just the absolute most precious thing in the world to him.
After work he drove home smiling, thinking about the kids about, ho w glad they'd be that he was home.
"Daddy!" Stella said smiling when Finn walked in the door.
"Hey Princess." He said to Stella smiling then he said hi to Fyero and kissed both of the twins foreheads, telling them how much he'd missed them. As much as he missed Rachel, Finn sure was glad to have his just Daddy time.
Please review, I really adore Finn in this chapter and would like to know your thoughts on it!
