Ok! Well I have to say I'm going to try my best to get all these ideas I have based what you guys want and what I think will flow in this story. I found this chapter to be a bit tricky to put together because I want this to go as smooth as possible. I hope you guys like it! This chapter title is from the song "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera. I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

Finn had the next three days off of work, so he decided to take some time and clean the apartment. Rachel was at another all night rehearsal, so he was home by himself.

Just as he was finishing up the last chore that needed to be done, Finn heard the buzzer go off and the landlord Mr. Figgins, voice was heard.

"Mr. Hudson, you have a visitor."

Finn stepped closer to the buzzer before responding. "I wasn't expecting any visitors today? Who is it?"

"She said her name is Mercedes Evans. She says she knows your wife, but she needs to talk to you about something very important."

"Ok. Send her up." Finn said quickly. He then quickly went into the bedroom and changed his shirt as it was covered in sweat and ran a towel through his hair. Just as he finished cleaning up a bit, a gentle knock was heard.

When Finn opened the door, he saw a rather beautiful African American woman standing right there. He her was styled neatly straight and she looked like she just got out of work given that she was in fancy dress clothes.

"Are you Mercedes Evans?" Finn asked.

The woman smiled at him gently. "Yes I am. And you're Finn Hudson right?"

Fin nodded. "Yes I am. Would you like to come inside?"

"Sure."

Finn led Mercedes to kitchen table in the dining room.

"Would you like some coffee or anything to drink?"

"No thanks." Mercedes got quiet for a moment before speaking again "I'd much rather talk to you about something."

Finn looked at her nervously. She had a face that had a full look of concern. It made him feel uneasy. "Sure. What's going on?"

Mercedes then took a deep breath and looked at him dead in the eyes. "It's about your wife Rachel. I'm very concerned about her."

Finn eyes went huge at the last part. He felt a slight panic as he spoke again, "Go on."

"You see, Rachel has been seeing this guy she's known for a while. They apparently work together in the theater that your wife is the lead role in the musical."

Finn felt his heart rate go up little. He then asked another question. "Umm, she didn't…uh…do anything right?"

Mercedes put her hand up. "Oh no! From the time I've known her, she hasn't done anything physical with him besides a hug or hold his hand for a couple of seconds. He hasn't done anything either as far as I concerned. But…Mr. Hudson."

"Call me Finn."

"Okay, Finn. I sometimes have to go the theater to work with clients. I'm a counselor and some of the clients are there for rehearsals and can't make it to my office. I've been watching Rachel and Jessie for a while and…. It's Jessie. There's just something off about him by the way he talks to her. I don't trust that white boy."

"Have you talked to Rachel about any of this?"

"Yes I have. You got yourself quite the diva wife Finn. She said she feels that Jessie pays more attention to her and she feels that she's wanted. I asked her to think about how you would feel hanging around with a man who may be trying to woo her while she was still married."

Finn asked the next question really quietly. "What did she tell you?"

"She thinks she still loves you but she doesn't want to feel that she's a bother to you. She also said that if she was going to forgive you, she wants you to go to her."

Finn felt better about knowing Rachel still loved him...or at least a part of her did. What he didn't like was this Jessie Saint Jackass guy.

Mercedes the interrupted his train of thought. "I think she's just confused about what she wants out of this. But from what I've learned about your wife is that she just wants to be loved."

Finn nodded. "Well, I promise you that I will be talking to Rachel soon and this Jessie Saint Jackass soon."

Mercedes gave him a small smile but his eyes still had a look of concern in them as she spoke the next few words slowly. "Look I know you love her and I agree you should talk to her. But you might just want to be prepared, Rachel may not be ready to trust you so soon. But you seem pretty determined for a white boy. Just be patient."

Finn couldn't help the chuckle in his voice as Mercedes call him a white boy. He could tell Mercedes is a bit of a diva herself.

Mercedes phone rang and she checked on it. She then stood up and grabbed her coat. "Well Finn, it's been nice hanging out with you but I have an appointment I need to go to."

Finn then escorted her to the door and shook her hand. "Thanks Mercedes. Oh! I had a question."

"Yes?"

"Your last name is Evans right?"

"Yes."

"Who is your husband?"

"Oh! I wanted to let you know that Sam Evans says hi! He's my husband. He's a bartender in a fancy hotel now. He loves it." Mercedes said with a chuckle.

"No Kidding. Well tell him I said hi and I'll would love to grab a bit with him sometime."

Mercedes chuckled and then pulled Finn into a hug. Finn stood there shocked for a second but then hugged her back.

"Will do white boy. Now go get your wife back soon." And with that said, Mercedes Evans left.

When Finn closed to door, he went into the guest bedroom where Rachel was sleeping. Some of her stuff was already moved in there, so Finn looked around to see if he could find anything that suggested how deep this friends with her and Jessie was. He knew Rachel would kill him if she found him in there but he needed to know.

Not even a minute of searching, Finn found a card written to Rachel that was on top of the dresser but her makeup. When Finn opened it, he read it out loud the words:

"Dear Rachel,

I hope you know that it has been a pleasure getting to know you more this past couple of weeks. You are one of the most inspiring women I have ever meet and I look forward to growing a deeper friendship with you during the days to come.

Yours truly,

Jessie"

Finn immediately wanted to rip the card in half. But he knew Rachel would find out and would be furious. So instead he slammed the card down and went into the kitchen.

He rubbed his face in his hands. He felt like his skin was on fire. Then then kicked the kitchen chair right next to him and it landed with a thud.

Finn then sat down in another chair. How dare this guy try to steal his wife. Does he have any sense at all?

After a couple of seconds of thinking about what to do about this situation, he quickly sprinted up, grabbed his jacket and keys and left the apartment slamming the door shut.

Finn was going to fight for Rachel. And he knew where to start.

It was time to talk to Jessie and put him in his place.

Oh my. What do you guys think about this chapter? Next chapter is going to deal with a confrontation with Jessie (Pretty obvious) Also Rachel auditions for Funny Girl. What do you think is going to happen? To Finn? To Rachel? Also Finchel is coming up soon! I don't know when but it's probably going to happen after Rachel auditions for Funny Girl.
