5x11 - Glee and The New Adventures
Quinn and Puck's House – Rochester – Wednesday Morning
"I'm telling you right now Lopez that if I don't hear from you in two hours I will reign down on you like you wouldn't believe it. I mean it! You think the time in college when I was angry at you for ruining my top was bad. That will be child's play next to what I'll do if you don't call me back… bye love you" Rachel ranted, loudly as Finn pulled up outside Quinn and Puck's house. The Hudson were in Rochester for the weekend, so they could find a new home.
"So, your plan is to threaten her now" Finn laughed as he got their luggage out of the car while Rachel helped Rose and Henry before taking a sleeping Mason out of his car seat.
"Well being nice wasn't working" Rachel snipped.
"She'll come to you when she's ready. We have more important things to do while we're here" Finn sighed.
Rachel nodded "I know, I know"
"Come on Mommy, I wanna see NJ" Henry beamed as he ran up to the front door with his family trailing behind. Quinn, who had clearly been waiting by the window for them, swung the door open just before Henry was about to knock.
"Hey guys!" Quinn cheered, leaning to give Rose and Henry a tight hug before giving one to Rachel and Finn.
"Quinn look at this cute bump" Rachel said, stroking Quinn's bump softly. Quinn was now five months pregnant and had a slight swell to her stomach.
"I know I just popped overnight" Quinn laughed just as Puck and NJ came to the door. NJ immediately ran over to Rose and hugged, but unlike normally Rose didn't reciprocate.
"Hey Rosie!" NJ said, loudly, not noticing Rose's tense mood.
"NJ I'm not talking to boys right now. Did you know that boys make more money than girls even when girls are better?" Rose explained, firmly. NJ just gaped at Rose as the adults looked on.
"What does that have to do with me" NJ asked.
"You're a boy NJ!" Rose snapped, glaring at NJ, who looked at Henry. Henry, who's had the same lectures off Rose for the last few days just gave an annoyed shrug in response.
"So!" NJ argued.
"Uhhh boys!" Rose groaned, shaking her head before walking away from Henry and NJ and into the house.
"What was that about" Puck asked as the others walked into the house. While Henry and NJ followed after Rose despite her mood, the adults walked into the kitchen, Quinn began to make them all a drink while Finn explained Rose's strange mood.
"Rachel and Rose watched a documentary about the wage gap the other day and it is the best thing that's ever happened. Rose has sworn off ever talking to boys" Finn explained, with a wide smile. He took a seat at the table and took Mason out of his car seat.
"That is the dream" Puck joked as Quinn passed him a drink, with a slight glare. The adults enjoyed a drink for a few minutes before Rose marched into the kitchen and over to Quinn.
"Auntie Quinn, do you know what baby your having yet" Rose asked, with her hands on her hips. Quinn was almost afraid to answer because she knew Rose wouldn't like the answer.
"It's a boy" Quinn smiled. Puck and Quinn had found out the week before and had only started telling their friends recently, who they knew didn't like buying gender-neutral gifts.
"God! Isn't there enough of those!" Rose groaned, throwing her hands in the air before storming out of the room.
"Sorry Sweetie" Quinn called to Rose, holding in a smile at Rose's dramatics. She was becoming more and more like Rachel every day.
"So, you guys excited to go house-hunting?" Puck asked looking over at Finn.
"Has Santana called you back yet" Rachel asked Quinn before Finn cold answer Puck's question. Finn rolled his eyes before leaning back in his chair while Mason tried to climb up his chest.
"Nope, I haven't heard anything and its not like she can be mad at me for moving I did it months ago" Quinn replied, shaking her head.
"Rachel, I thought we weren't going to worry about Santana while we're here" Finn interjected as he lifted Mason over his head to the delight of the 10 month old.
"Its just so unlike her. When Santana's mad she lets you know it" Rachel reasoned.
"Maybe she's not mad" Puck noted. Quinn and Rachel shared a look, if Santana wasn't mad that meant she was sad and that was much worse to deal with.
"Mommy, Henry was annoying me, so I put tape over his mouth to shut him up" Rose explained walking into the room proudly. Rachel laughed before she noticed the look on Rose's face.
"…Wait are you serious" Rachel gasped before running after Rose. Finn, Quinn, and Puck continued enjoying their drinks for a few moments before they heard a strained cry from the living room.
"Finn! I think she used glue!" Rachel called. Finn passed Mason to Quinn before walking into the Living room with a heavy sigh.
"Our next one needs to be a girl" Puck laughed as they heard Rachel reprimanding Rose while Finn struggled to get the tape off Henry.
Quinn shook her head, playfully "Let me push this one out first"
First House - Rochester – Wednesday Afternoon
"I mean this is just getting ridiculous! Even Brittany isn't answering. Who does she think she is?" Rachel complained as she stormed out of their rental car with her phone to her ear. Rachel was now trying to call Brittany, but her calls were also going straight to voicemail.
"Santana's wife!" Finn quipped as he helped their children out of the rental car while Rachel tried ringing Brittany again. She threw her phone back into her bag when she got her voicemail again.
"Whatever" Rachel snipped, rolling her eyes.
"Rachel! Do you think that maybe you could concentrate on us finding a house and worry about Santana later?" Finn said, firmly as he tried to stop Rose and Henry from fighting while putting Mason in his pram.
"Okay I'm sorry I know, this is important to me as well I promise… I love you" Rachel affirmed, leaning across to give Finn a quick kiss, ignoring the groans from Rose and Henry.
"You better" Finn quipped. The family moved towards the front door and just as they reached it, the door opened to reveal Helen. The middle-aged Relator Quinn had set them up with. Rachel had been emailing with her all week about what kind of house they were looking for.
"Hi, you must be Mr and Mrs Hudson, I'm Helen the relator" Helen introduced herself, shaking Finn's and Rachel's hand before smiling down at Rose and Henry.
"Its nice to meet you Helen, you can call us Finn and Rachel" Finn replied.
"Great! Well I have the keys so let's get started" Helen beamed, she led the family inside and Rose immediately skipped over to her, while everyone else looked around the reception area.
"Miss Helen, how many men do you work with?" Rose asked. Helen gave Rachel and Finn a confused look but when Finn shrugged helplessly, Helen decide to just answer.
"Uhh there's four men in my office" Helen replied, still slightly confused as to where the young girl was going with her questioning, but seen as neither of her parents seemed concerned, Helen reasoned it was probably typical behaviour.
"You should check because I bet they make more money than you do, even if there not as good as you" Rose replied, firmly, crossing her arms stubbornly. Henry rolled his eyes at his sister, something he'd recently learnt to do, and walked away.
"I'll make sure to check" Helen answered.
"Did you know Women couldn't vote until 1920" Rose noted.
Helen nodded "I did know that"
"Rose, save the lectures for the men they're the ones who need to be educated" Rachel chimed in, not bothering to look at her daughter as she closely examined the lounge chair in the reception.
"Okay Mommy!" Rose cheered before skipping away, leaving a slightly baffled Helen. Finn smiled at her apologetically before asking if she could show them around.
Helen walked them into the living room and waved her hands out in front of her "So, this is the reception area, as you can see…"
"Nope this isn't the one" Rachel cut in, shaking her head. Helen looked at Rachel baffled while Finn let out a loud sigh but smiling at his wife.
"Rachel do you maybe want to see the rest of the house before we decide that" Finn reasoned, calmly.
"Daddy are you trying to supress Mommy!" Rose gasped, covering her mouth with her small hands.
"Of course, not Sweetie, go find your brother" Finn rushed out.
"He's always getting lost, such a typical boy" Rose sighed, shaking her head before walking out of the room. Husband and wife turned so they were facing each other.
"Finn, trust me this isn't the house" Rachel said.
"You're sure" Finn sighed. While he saw absolutely know logic to what he was saying, he could see Rachel believed what she was saying, and he knew better than to try and change her mind.
Rachel nodded "I'm sure"
"Sorry this isn't the house for us" Finn said, looking over at Helen with another apologetic smile.
"Oh okay, well onto the next one then" Helen replied, with a wide smile as she steered the Hudson's out of the house.
Second House – Rochester – Wednesday Afternoon
Half an hour later, the Hudson's were looking round an old American colonial house that Helen had found just five minutes away from Puck's and Quinn's house. While Finn was eagerly looking out at the huge back garden, Rachel followed on lamely.
"The kitchen's huge and look at that garden! What do you think?" Finn exclaimed after they had looked through the second house. He walked over to Rachel who was leaning against the front door with her phone in her hand.
"Ehhh!" Rachel replied.
"Rachel, are you serious? What's wrong with this one?" Finn asked, frustrated as he ran his hands through his hair.
"Its just not the one" Rachel sighed, with a slight shrug. Finn glared at Rachel and she gave him a pout in reply.
"Rachel, you need to be more specific" Finn replied as he rocked Mason's pram back and forth, trying not to get too aggravated with Rachel, mainly because he also didn't want another lecture from Rose.
"I just don't get the feeling I got when we bought the house in New York" Rachel shrugged. Finn stopped the pram to turn and face his wife.
"A feeling, really Rachel, a feeling" Finn sighed, throwing his head back just as Rose and Henry came running into the room, obviously bored with exploring the house.
"Yeah, a feeling, I got it when we bought our first house and I want it with the new house too and I don't get it with this one" Rachel argued.
"Mommy that doesn't make sense! We need a house to live in" Rose interjected, with a groan. Finn nodded in agreement with their daughter at Rachel rolled her eyes at the pair.
"And I will find us one" Rachel replied, smiling at her daughter before turning to Helen "Helen this isn't the one"
"Okay, I'll keep looking" Helen replied, with a tight smile. She'd been in the corner on her phone ignoring the family's conversation until they needed her.
"Daddy, how do you put up with Mommy" Rose wondered, looking up at her father. Finn leaned down, so he was facing his daughter.
"I don't put up with Mommy Rose, we both have stuff that people may find annoying, but we love each other and that's what most important" Finn explained.
"That's smart, Daddy, I thought boys were stupid" Rose replied.
"Not all of them" Finn laughed, before taking his daughter's hand and ushering his family out of the house and towards their car.
"Okay, I have another house in mind, hopefully this one with have that feeling for you" Helen said, as she typed something on her phone while following the family out of the house.
"Let's hope so Helen, because you're not getting paid without it" Rachel quipped before she got into their rental car. Fin glared at his wife before turning to Helen.
Finn shook his head, in disbelief "She's joking… Let's go"
Third House – Rochester – Wednesday Afternoon
"So, what do you think?" Helen asked, trying to hide her annoyance as the Hudson family looked around the kitchen of the third home. Really, Rachel was looking round the kitchen while Finn sat at the table with Rose and Henry, playing a game on his phone while Mason slept in his pram.
"I'm reserving judgement until I've seen the whole thing" Rachel replied as she critically looked at the stove despite the face Rachel never even used the one they had at the Townhouse.
"I'm going to make a few calls while you have a look around" Helen said, shortly not waiting for a response before she walked back out the front door.
"Daddy does Mommy make more money than you?" Rose asked as she came to sit next to her father at the kitchen table.
"God yeah" Finn laughed. Rachel owed a very successful magazine and while Finn was a vice-principal at a very prestigious school he made no where near as much as Rachel did, he was pretty sure his wage just went right into their savings.
"And it doesn't bother you?" Rose wondered.
"Of course not, your mommy worked hard for her money and we can afford nice houses like this because of it" Finn explained.
"We're married Honey, it's our money" Rachel called from where she was looking inside the fridge. Finn sent her an affectionate smile before looking back at Rose.
"So, I can be a strong, successful lady even though men make more money" Rose continued, with a thoughtful look. Finn was started to get the feeling Rose was under the impression that no matter what job she had it wouldn't be more than a man would make.
"Not all men make more money and you sweetie can be anything you want to be, and it doesn't have to involve a boy" Finn lectured, kindly.
"Not even NJ!" Rose gasped, appalled at the thought she didn't need NJ in her life when most of the time that's all she wanted.
"Not even NJ" Finn agreed. Rose just nodded back at her father lost in thought. Henry gave his sister a look that said 'my sister is crazy' before back to his game on Finn's iPad. Finn turned to look over at his wife who was now on top of one the counters checking the celling.
"Rachel, how's its looking, is this house giving you the feeling" Finn asked, just as Rachel's phone started to ring.
"Well… hold on its Quinn" Rachel replied, quickly leaving the room with her phone to her ear.
"I don't think this our new house Daddy" Henry complained.
"I don't think so either Henry" Finn sighed, throwing his head back before straightening up when he realised there was only one reason Quinn was calling Rachel.
"Finn! You'll never guess who's just showed up at Quinn's house" Rachel quipped, with a large smile as she walked back into the kitchen.
"I don't need to guess" Finn sighed, shaking his head.
"Come on we have to get to Quinn and Puck's" Rachel rushed out. She grabbed Mason's pram, without even checking if Mason was even inside.
"Let's go kids" Finn said. They all followed Rachel outside where Helen was still outside talking on her phone.
"Bye Helen… this one didn't give me a feeling either" Rachel rushed out, without a second glance as she walked to their car.
Quinn and Puck's House - Rochester – Wednesday Afternoon
"Its about time you showed up, who ignores their friends calls for three days, who does that!" Rachel ranted as she walked into the garden where all her friends were sat having a drink. A slightly annoyed Finn, and the children followed behind her.
"I'm not here by choice, Brittany dragged me here" Santana argued, pointing at her wife, who had her arms crossed with a glare on her face.
"Why?" Quinn asked.
"She wouldn't tell me, she made me come too, she's stronger than she looks" Mercedes snapped, shaking her head from her seat at the patio table. Sam nodded his head earnestly in agreement.
"Hey Rachel, how's the house hunting going?" Brittany asked, cheerfully, ignoring the glares she was getting from Santana and Mercedes.
"Okay, we're all here, so can you please tell me why we are all here Brittany" Rachel snipped, ignoring Brittany's question as Pucka and Finn walked out into the garden and handed everyone a drink.
"Santana did something, and I need you to find out if its real or if she only did it because she thinks you are all abandoning her" Brittany explained.
"Abandoning you, you're so dramatic" Rachel snapped, sending a glare to Santana, who rolled her eyes in return.
"I didn't even say anything" Santana groaned, loudly.
"What did you do?" Quinn asked, taking a seat next to Santana at the table.
"Nothing drastic, besides they didn't consult me when they decided to leave New York" Santana argued, looking over at Brittany waving her hands at Quinn, Mercedes, and Rachel. The women all rolled their eyes and shook their head at Santana.
"Consult you, we're not married Santana!" Mercedes laughed, darkly.
"I mean you guys are a little married" Puck quipped, before taking a drink of his beer, Finn nodded his head in agreement and Rachel looked at them both amused. She was happy Finn could joke about it after a tense few months with her friends.
"Okay, everyone calm down… Santana why don't you tell us what you did and then we can decide if it's something you want to do or something you did impulsively" Quinn reasoned, calmly.
Rachel gave Santana a pressing look "Well…"
"I quit my job and bought Brittany and I a trip around the world" Santana declared. Everyone whipped their heads to Santana and gaped at her. She quickly looked away from their surprised eyes.
Rachel shared an alarmed look with Quinn and Mercedes "I'm sorry WHAT!"
The Kitchen – Quinn and Puck's house -Wednesday Afternoon
"So, what, we're just going to watch them through the window, that's what we've become" Puck muttered as he crouched down behind the sink, so he could look out of the window that looked out at the garden, where the girls were having an intense conversation.
"I need to know if Santana is being serous and they are going to get it out of her…. And you are my people and you need to be here for me" Brittany reasoned, giving the guys a pointed look before turning back to the window.
"We are here for you" Sam promised, clapping Brittany on the shoulder encouragingly.
"Finn's on his phone" Puck quipped, smirking at Finn, who was trying to balance in his crouching position while typing on his phone.
"I can do two things at once, I am here to find a house" Finn snipped, not looking up from his phone.
"Sorry I interrupted that Finn, I know it was important" Brittany apologised.
"Its okay, Santana quitting her job is huge" Finn reasoned, finally looking up from his phone to give Brittany an encouraging smile.
"You think it's real" Puck asked, carefully.
"We'll find out soon enough" Brittany replied before looking back at the girls still talking.
The Garden – Quinn and Puck's House – Wednesday Afternoon
"Rachel stop looking at my pupils I'm not high" Santana snapped as she swotted Rachel away from her.
"Really because only a person on drugs wouldn't just quit their job to go travelling around the world…. Santana you were in a car accident and you still wanted to go to work, I had to strap you to the bed once. Do you really think you're just gonna go off travelling for a year?" Rachel ranted as she took a seat next to Santana at the garden table, across from Quinn and Mercedes.
"Why don't you tell us your reasoning behind it" Quinn said, calmly.
"Look I was really angry at you guys, first Quinn leaves, then you two as well. Do you realise without you guys in New York I'd have no one else? So yeah, I was angry but then I realised that all you guys were doing was going after what you wanted, making your family happy, just living your lives and I can't be dependant on you guys anymore. I need to really think about what I want and what would make Brittany happy" Santana explained.
"And what is that exactly" Mercedes asked, crossing her arms as she give Santana a pointed look.
"I need a break from work, I need to enjoy my life, see the world like I always planned and continue to make my wife happy and I'm sure being away from you guys for a while would make her happy" Santana continued.
"I still love you guys" Brittany called through the open window.
"We get it Brittany, we're a hand full" Rachel sighed, waving her hand dismissively, without looking over at the others, who were clearly listening through the window.
"So, I walked into Balme's office to talk about taking a break, but he wasn't going for it and I just got angry because after everything I've done for that firm they couldn't give me a break… so I quit! And I just left the office and took a walk and that when I passed a travel's agency, I didn't even know they still had them, and I saw this sign in the window and I just went in and bought two tickets. We leave in 2 months" Santana concluded, before taking a long drink of her beer.
"Wow!" Quinn sighed, leaning back in her chair.
Rachel shook her head "Okay, you're peeing in a cup because there is no way that I believe you're not on drugs"
Spare Room – Quinn and Puck's House – Wednesday Evening
"Okay I think we have five minutes before we need to leave for the restaurant and you start obsessing about Santana again" Finn noted as he walked into the spare room to see Rachel furiously typing away on her phone.
"She's definitely on drugs" Rachel snipped, before tossing her phone on the bed as Finn sat down next to her on the bed.
"Rachel, focus! So, when we bought the first house and you got that feeling, what exactly was the feeling?" Finn asked, as he took Rachel's hand in her own.
"What do you mean?" Rachel wondered.
"How did you feel when you saw the house?"
"I just saw the open space and pictured where we'd put everything and what each room would have in – like where our king size bed that was too big for our old apartment would go, or where I could hide that ugly French poster, it's when I knew this would be the house we would start our family in because of all the spare rooms and that garden where I saw a swing set. I know it sounds stupid, but I think maybe I haven't liked any of the other houses because they can't live up to how I felt in our home now, we've had some great memories in that old house" Rachel explained, wistfully.
"Some amazing memories" Finn cut in, with a smile.
"I still want this Finn more than anything, so I know I need to lower my expectations. We'll find a great house, and I'm sorry I've been going crazy about Santana" Rachel apologised.
"It's okay, it's what I love about you, your passion… its very sexy" Finn shrugged with a playful smile.
"You say all the right things Mr Hudson" Rachel chuckled before reaching across and pulling Finn in for a searing kiss.
Frank's Steak House – Rochester – Wednesday Evening
An hour later, the group were having a slightly awkward meal together. Mainly because of Santana's revelation but also because of Rose's new-found knowledge on Feminism and NJ's confusion as to why it meant that Rose couldn't play with them anymore.
"What if I just gave you my money would that make it better" NJ argued, looking straight at Rose, and ignoring or not realising that all the adults at the table were looking at them with rapt attention.
"I can make my own money NJ; my mommy makes more than my daddy" Rose snapped, crossing her arms firmly.
"And I would be okay with that!" NJ nodded.
"I don't care what you're okay with, a woman can do things for herself and doesn't need the praise of a man" Rose argued. Santana let out a loud cheer in agreement, but Rose and NJ didn't look away from each other.
"But I'm not a man" NJ whined, throwing his head back.
"Maybe I will travel the world like Auntie Sans" Rose added, waving her hand at Santana. When Santana smiled triumphantly at Brittany, her wife just replied by rolling her eyes.
"But we were gonna live in a big house next to your mom and dad and Henry was gonna live in our garage, so we could start our band together" NJ complained. Henry finally looked up from where he was colouring to look up at his sister and friends, he was finally interested in their conversation now that it involved him.
"Well maybe I don't want to do that anymore NJ!" Rose concluded, crossing her arms stubbornly. NJ and Henry both gaped at each other. They'd had that plan for 6 months which was practically years for the young children.
"You're killing me woman!" NJ grumbled, before jumping off his seat across from Rose to sit on Brittany's lap. she had always been in favourite and truthfully, he wanted to make Rose jealous but all Rose did was roll her eyes and turn to her brother to help him colour his picture.
"This is the most entertaining thing I've ever seen" Santana laughed once the adults realised the children were done arguing, at least for the time being.
"Why doesn't NJ want to live near us" Quinn said, astonished, looking over at Puck who just shrugged in reply. NJ finally looked away from glaring at Rose to glance at his parents.
"Auntie Rach told Rose to never live too close to your in-laws" NJ answered. Quinn turned to Rachel with a clipped expression, but Rachel just ignored it as she took a sip of her drink.
"What I stand by that" Rachel quipped.
"It's nice we can all have dinner together" Sam interjected.
"Yeah it might be the last time" Puck smirked, which earnt him a light smack on the chest from Quinn "What I was kidding!"
"So, have you guys decided if Santana is crazy or not!" Brittany asked, looking over at Rachel, Mercedes and Quinn ignoring Santana's pointed look.
"I'm right here Brittany!" Santana grumbled.
Brittany turned to smile at Santana, with a side-eye at the others "Well…"
"Honestly no clue, its very impulsive thing to do but Santana married you impulsively and that worked out okay" Mercedes reasoned with a slight shrug.
"More than okay" Santana beamed at Brittany, who rolled her eyes.
"I don't need flattering right now, I need to know if I should be packing for a year of travelling or getting ready to deal with an erratic Santana when she realised what mistake she made" Brittany ranted.
"Why isn't my word enough, that this is what I want" Santana argued.
"Santana, I love you, and I trust you, but I need this" Brittany pressed.
"I don't think we are very objective, but I know someone who could be" Rachel reasoned before turning to her husband.
Finn shook his head "No!"
"Finn please" Brittany pleaded, holding her hands in a pray towards Finn.
"I told you I wasn't getting involved like this anymore" Finn sighed.
"And if Santana and I are travelling for a year you won't need to" Brittany reasoned, smirking at Finn as he gave it a moments thought.
"Fine but I'm having my dessert first" Finn grumbled, ignoring the beaming smile Brittany and Rachel were giving him.
The Garden – Quinn and Puck's House – Wednesday Evening
"Okay so why don't you start with the real reason you came to this declaration about your life… you expect me to believe you came to this realisation on your own" Finn reasoned, with a knowing look. After the restaurant, the group had gone straight back to Quinn and Puck's house and while everyone else was enjoying one last drink in the family room, Finn and Santana had stepped outside to talk.
"You see everything don't you" Santana laughed, shaking her head slightly before taking a drink of her beer.
"That's not an answer" Finn pressed, giving Santana a look.
"Ever since Brittany and I got back together I've been seeing a therapist" Santana admitted, shyly.
"That's great Santana, someone like you could use an objective ear to talk to"
"Especially when I lost my best one… anyway when they told me they were leaving I had a double session with her to sort through everything and she helped me see that I cant be dependant on you all for my happiness, I fall because you guys are always there and it terrified me that you wouldn't be but I see now it might be a good thing as well" Santana explained, running her hands through her hair.
"Yeah quitting my job might not work out and after a month Brittany and I might hate living out of cases and want to come home but at least we would have tried, I would have tried to do something without Mercedes, Quinn, Rachel and you there to help me. I need to know I can be a good wife without your help"
"You can be Santana, you need to believe in yourself a bit more" Finn reasoned.
"I'm truly sorry for everything that happened Finn, all of it. I was in a bad place, a place I never want to be again" Santana said, softly.
"And you won't be, I believe in you" Finn affirmed before reaching across and giving Santana a hug. Santana let out a relieved sigh, it felt like her and Finn were getting back to normal.
"Okay so what's the verdict" Brittany asked, nervously as herself and the others came out into the garden. Finn gave Santana one last look before smiling over at the others.
"Santana and Brittany are leaving New York!" Finn announced. Everyone cheered as Santana and Brittany shared a kiss. While the others hugged Brittany and Santana, Puck walked over to Finn and rolled his eyes at them all.
"I give it three months" Puck quipped.
The Garden – Quinn and Puck's House – Thursday Morning
The next morning, Finn walked in to the garden to see Rose playing by herself on the swing set. NJ and Henry had been giving Rose a wide berth after the way she had been behaving and Finn could see that watching the document was now starting to have a negative effect on Rose's mood.
"Morning Sweetie, have you had some breakfast" Finn asked as he came to sit next on the swing set.
"I had some pancakes Daddy" Rose replied, sadly.
"Rosie, I want to talk to you about that documentary you watched with Mommy" Finn started, before Finn could continue Rose jumped off the swing and came to stand in front of her father.
"Will things always be bad because I'm a girl and because I'm black" Rose asked, worried. Finn picked up Rose and sat her on his lap before pushing the swing softly.
"Rosie, I'm not gonna lie somethings will be more difficult because you're a girl or because of the colour of your skin but I promise you, you will find people to help you fight back or rise above it. Your mommy and I are gonna make sure that we raise you well enough that you and your brothers will be able to challenge anything that comes your way and do whatever you want to do in life even if people tell you that you can't, that's how people change the world" Finn explained, carefully. Rose took a moment to think about what Finn said before hugging her father tightly.
"You're really smart Daddy" Rose beamed.
"I try to be" Finn shrugged.
"I hope I marry someone just like you Daddy" Rose said, as Finn sat up form the swing with Rose still in his arms. He set her down and the pair started walking back to the house.
"So, do I, but promise me that won't happen for at least another 20 years" Finn quipped
"I promise Daddy, I have to change the world first" Rose declared, throwing her arms up excited.
Finn pulled Rose's to him in a tight hug "That's my girl"
Fourth House – Rochester – Thursday Morning
That same morning, after saying goodbye to Santana, Brittany, Sam, and Mercedes who had an early flight back to New York, The Hudson's made their way over to what Finn hoped would be the last house they see in Lima. Finn had listened to what Rachel had told him the day before and he hoped he'd come up with a creative solution.
"So, where's Helen" Rachel asked, once Finn pulled up on the side of the road.
"I picked up the keys from her, I thought we should do this on our own" Finn reasoned. He helped the kids out of the car then they followed her up the short garden path.
"Let's see it then" Rachel smiled. Finn opened the door and ushered his family inside, he was closing the door behind him when Rachel let out a loud gasp.
"WOW!"
Rachel and her family were stood outside something can could only be describes as a colonial mac-mansion. It had been painted a soft white colour with a large columns by the large front door. It had black shutters on each of the large windows with a large front garden with stone steps that led to the door.
Finn led the family inside the large entrance and positioned Rachel in front of him and pointed to the patch of wall by the stairs.
"Now I think this is where we should put the French poster, but only when my mom comes to visit" Finn said, smiling down at Rachel "We can have some lounge chairs there with a little table"
Finn took Rachel hand and led her to the huge modern kitchen that had wooden beams that also gave it a rustic feel.
"The kitchen doesn't need much work, but we can have our family photo on that wall" Finn explained nodding to the far wall of the kitchen that had the large white table and bench chair against it.
While Rose and Henry helped Mason crawl around the kitchen floor, Finn took Rachel to the living room that was at the opposite side of the reception area. It was a huge room with no furniture but a large floor to ceiling window that looked out to the large back garden.
"We'll put the big TV up here and I've already found the biggest sofa to put here so we can all cuddle together while watching a Disney movie" Finn continued. The smile on Rachel's face as Finn then lead them all upstairs and into the first room off the balcony stairs.
Finn lead the family into the room "I figured this could be Rose's room because…."
"It's Pink!" Rose beamed, jumping into the empty room, Rachel could see she was already imagining where all her toys would go.
"And over here is Henry's room" Finn said walking into another spare room "And next to it is Mason's room"
After looking into each room and the bathrooms next to it as well as what could be an office for Finn and Rachel, the family walked into the last room "And this is our room, with our huge bed that is too far too big"
After looking through all the rooms the family went out into the back yard where there was a large lawn and patio area as well as a pool and a hot tub. It was like every garden in Rachel's Pinterest wish list.
"And this is our garden, where we will watch our children play while we sit and drink cheap wine and Twinkies" Rachel smiled at Finn, lost in just how thoughtful her husband truly was.
"So, what do you think?" Finn asked, cautiously. Rachel jumped up, wrapped her arms around Finn and pulled him in for a searing kiss. Rachel eventually pulled away when her children started complaining.
"Finn how did you find our house" Rachel beamed.
"I realised you didn't need to see other people's furniture you needed to see ours, you needed to see it as our home" Finn reasoned.
"I have the feeling" Rachel replied, softly, with a few stray tears in her eyes.
"So, this is our new home" Finn asked.
"This is our new home" Rachel cheered before wrapping her arms around Finn again while their children ran around the garden. "I love you" Rachel gushed.
"I love you" Finn returned, leaning down to give Rachel a quick kiss "Here's to our next adventure"
