Okay! So here's the epilogue! I hope you guys enjoy it! Also, at the end of this, I have a question for all of my viewers! This chapter title from "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" by Michael Jackson. I DO OWN ANYTHING!
When Finn and Rachel got home, both of them weren't ready to go to sleep. So, they decided they would sit in the living room of their apartment and just talk.
Rachel got both Finn and herself some drinks and made her way back over to the couch and tucked herself into his side, pressing a kiss on Finn's lips and just stared at him for a few long moments with an unreadable expression on her face.
Finn, however knew something was up and started talking. "What are you thinking about?" he asked quietly as he rubbed his arm on her on shoulders.
Rachel sighed and slung an arm around his middle and buried her face in his chest, inhaling his scent. She found it weird that she missed his scent.
After a second, Rachel looked up at him. "Finn, I just want you to know that nothing happened with Jessie and me." Finn eyes darkened a little at the mention of Jessie but Rachel quickly soothed him. "Physically I mean. We're not even friends anymore."
Finn's eyes soften a little at the last part. "Rachel, you didn't…umm …"
Rachel shook her head vigorously. "No. Because whenever I talked to him, as much as I thought I hated you, I just couldn't stop thinking about you. Actually, now that I think of it, I don't think I ever hated you."
Finn grinned at her and kissed her softly. Rachel made a humming noise in appreciation and snuggled against him.
After a few moments, Finn started to speak. He figured if they were going to be honest with each other, he might as well say this.
"Rach, baby?"
Rachel grinned at term of endearment and looked up at Finn. However, worry went into her eyes when Finn's eyes were shining. She reached up and put both of her hand on each side of his face and stroked his cheeks.
"Finn, what's wrong?"
Finn relaxed a little at her touch and starred at her for a second. Then he started speaking. "Rachel, I want you to know something. I never told anybody besides my counselor, and Burt and mom. You deserve to know."
Rachel nodded her head at him to continue and prepared herself to what Finn had to say.
Finn put both of his hands on tops of Rachel's hands that were still on his face and then continued. "Rachel, a few months ago, there was a very bad fire," Finn took a deep breath before talking again. "One of my guy's…never made it out. You remember Matt right?"
Rachel nodded at him. She then presses her forehead to Finn's still showing her silent support, while Finn took a few shaky breaths. It never got easy telling this story.
"He…He was the one that never made it out. My team and I…we all took it hard." Tears started to roll down Finn's face as he tried to calm himself down.
Rachel's eyes softened at the look at her husband's crushed face. It was obviously he had been keeping this from her for a while.
"Finn..," Rachel said quietly. When Finn looked back up at her, she scooted closer to hi and gently press her lips to his. Finn immediately responded by hauling her to towards by her waist and tilted her head back to deepen the kiss.
When they broke apart, Rachel asked, "Why didn't you ever tell me? I would have been there for you."
Finn hands tightened around her waist and he pressed his forehead to hers. "I didn't want you to see me weak. I didn't want to worry you."
Rachel gave Finn another kiss. "Finn, I always worry about you when you're on call at your job. I know being firefighter can be rough based on the stories I've heard. But we could have gone through your loss together."
Finn gave her a small smile. "I know. And I'm so sorry."
Rachel gave him the same smile and traced his jawline with her fingers. "And for the record, you are not weak. Not at all. Just please tell me when you feel like this again or if anything happens like this again. I want to be there for you. Don't ever feel like you're putting anything burden on me. Cause you are not."
Finn grinned at her and gave her another kiss. "That's a deal."
Rachel then said quietly, "I'm sorry if you felt like I wouldn't be there for you. I-"
"Rach, baby stop," Finn interrupted her with a kiss. "It's okay. I'm the one who was selfish and didn't come to you when I needed you."
Rachel starred at him for a moment and nodded her head. She then started talking again. It was time to tell Finn some bad news that she hasn't told anyone at all.
"Finn, I got something to tell you." Rachel said quietly.
Finn looked at her and could see her eyes held some sadness. He tightened his hold on her and showed her the same support she gave him and pressed his forehead to hers and closed his eyes.
Rachel then continued. "Well, I auditioned for Funny Girl and I thought I did great. Jessie had told me that he knew one of the producers and he would put in a good word from me."
Rachel took at a deep breath. "However, when I auditioned and mentioned him, none of the producers knew about him. I was such an idiot, Finn." Rachel felt tears burning in her eyes, but she continued. "That night that you heard me crying, I had gotten a call back from the producers of Funny Girl."
Finn just responded by tightening his hold on her more, giving her the sign to continue. (He also made a quick mental note to kick Jessie's ass more later if he ever saw him again.)
Rachel put her arms around his neck and then continued. "They told me they liked my audition, but unfortunately, they said they couldn't give me the part."
Rachel felt tears burning in her eyes. She could only imagine how Finn felt when he opened up to her. She took out a shaky breath, "There was someone better," she said quietly.
Finn opened his eyes to see his wife with tears streaming down her face. He knew that Fanny Brice was her dream role. And now it was crushed.
Finn lifted his hands from her waist and wiped her eyes gently. "Oh, baby," He said quietly. "I'm so sorry."
With those words, Rachel broke down more and buried her head in his chest. Finn hugged her tightly and dropped kisses to her hair and forehead. Both Finn and Rachel knew that sometimes just crying it out with someone they loved was needed.
After a while, Rachel's tears dried and she looked up at Finn. "Thank you Finn." She said quietly.
Finn dropped another kiss to her forehead. "Anytime, baby."
Rachel leaned up and kiss him. "I love you so much." She murmured against his lips.
Finn grinned and gave her another kiss before saying, "I love you." He said quietly.
Rachel gave him a beaming smile. "I believe a wedding renewal is in order." She said matter-of-fact.
Finn chuckled. "Oh yeah?"
"Yes. I'll call Kurt in the morning. With him planning it, it'll be over quickly."
Finn chuckled and kissed Rachel again. "It's a deal then."
He knew that Kurt definitely could probably get a wedding renewal plan done in a week. But he certainly was not looking forward having Kurt make him dress up.
"It's a deal."
Finn was right. Kurt did manage to pull off getting all the plans done for a wedding renewal in a week. A few weeks later, Finn found himself at the end of an aisle, waiting for a wife. They were keeping it small, with just close family and friends. Puck and Quinn were there, along with Tina and Mike, Sam and Mercedes and Santana and Brittany, and Rachel's dads and his step-dad and mom.
He had Puck, Mike, Sam and Kurt (who was his best man) in his wedding party. While Rachel had Santana, Brittany, Tina and Quinn as bridesmaids.
After all of the bridesmaids came down, the wedding march started. When Finn turned around, his mouth dropped. There was the most beautiful woman he ever saw, his wife Rachel.
She was wearing simple yet elegant white dress with a sweet heart neckline and her hair was up. As her papa walked her down, both of them couldn't keep their eyes off of each other.
When they reached each other and Rachel's papa gave Finn her hand, he mouthed the words to her "You look beautiful."
Rachel mouthed the words, "Thank you," and rubbed his hands with her thumbs.
When it was time for their vows, Finn and Rachel wrote their out (despite Kurt trying to help them write them).
Finn started first. "Rachel, I love you. When I first met you, I felt something. Something big. Like I was attached to you…like an invisible tether. That no matter how far away you were from me. I could always feel you. Every time I reached for it, I couldn't be happier knowing you were there. I know we had our struggles. But I promise to love you with everything I have and to not keep anything from you because I know now that we both need to be honest with each other and trust each other."
Finn then turned to Kurt, who gave him the ring and Finn slid it on Rachel's hand.
Rachel looked down at it and then back up at Finn. Her eyes were shinning and she had a beaming smile on her face. She then took Finn's hands and started her vows.
"Finn, I want you to know that I love you so much. I also know that we had our struggles, but those always brought us back to each other. I never stopped loving you and I don't plan on stopping because I don't know what I would do without you. You are my best friend, my soul mate. I never could my life without you by my side. I promise to have be more open for you to come to me and be supportive just as much as you are to me. Because we both need it. Finn Hudson, my heart rests in your hands."
Rachel then turned to Tina, who gave her the ring and she slid it on Finn's finger. Finn then laced their fingers together.
When the preacher told Finn he could kiss the bride. Finn hauled Rachel towards him and fused his lips to hers in a sealing kiss and dipped her backwards, making the audience's applause louder.
Their reception was in a small ballroom at a hotel just a couple blocks by the church. Finn and Rachel were cutting a cake and Rachel managed to smash some of it on Finn's face.
"Oh, Rachel Hudson, you're going to get it."
Kurt however did not like that idea. "Finn I swear, you get Rachel messy, I will-"
Before Kurt could say anything, Finn smashed cake on Kurt's face. Kurt let out an outraged gasp.
"FINN HUDSON! YOU JUST RUINED MY SKIN! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SKIN SOAP I HAVE TO PUT ON TO GET THIS STUFF OFF!?"
Puck, who was dancing with Quinn at time, started laughing. "Give it a rest petunia. Your baby doll face isn't changing anytime soon." He sniggered.
Kurt then thrust a finger at him with cake still on his face. "There is nothing wrong with having clean healthy skin, Puckerman." With that Kurt stomped to the bathroom (To try and find soap most likely).
Finn and Rachel laughed with the exchange that just happened.
"Your brother certainly has a way about him doesn't he?" Rachel laughed.
Finn chuckled. "He certainly does."
Then it was announced that it was time for Finn and Rachel to have a dance as husband and wife. Finn then took Rachel's hand and led her to the dance floor. "Faithfully" started to play, making Finn and Rachel grin at each other and they started to dance. Even though Finn had two left feet, he managed to keep his beat while holding his wife in his arms who had her arms around his neck and her head on his chest.
After their reception, Finn and Rachel went for their second honeymoon down in Hawaii. They managed to get their late that night.
When they got in, Rachel went to go shower while Finn stripped out of his clothes and into a t-shirt and boxers.
When Rachel came out, Finn's eyes dropped. She was barely wearing a barely there black nightgown.
With a smugly smile, she walked over to Finn and straddled his lap on the bed and she pressed her lips to him in a searing kiss.
"You know…" She said quietly against his lips, "You can touch me if you want to."
Finn's eyes went dark and he lifted one of his hands and cupped one of her breasts. "I want to." He said deeply. Then he pulled his wife towards him and kissed her deeply.
They shredded their clothes off until it was just skin against skin. Rachel's and Finn lips moved everywhere on their bodies, making each of them feel loved, wanted, safe, nourished and protected.
When Finn pushed into to her, he peppered kisses all over her face and neck and held her hand. Rachel held Finn's hand tightly and moved with him.
Afterwards, Rachel was laying on his chest listening to his heartbeat, while Finn hands rubbing all over her back.
"I love you," She whispered into his chest.
Finn smiled and kiss her forehead. "I love too." He tightened his hold on her. "So much."
It wasn't long before Finn and Rachel fell into a deep peaceful sleep.
"Christopher and Austin Hudson! Get back here right now!"
Rachel was trying to get both of her 5 year old twin boys to calm down and go to bed. Of course, being five years old that they were, they had a lot of energy.
"But momma!" Chris exclaimed.
"No buts." Rachel said firmly. "Both of you. To bed now."
Just then Finn came into the door from his long shift at work.
"Dad!" Austin and Chris yelled at the same time. They then ran to their dad and hugged him.
Finn chuckled and hug both of his boys in returned. "I see you guys are in your pajamas. I think it's time to go to bed now."
Austin and Chris huffed. "Ok." They said.
With that said they both went into their room with Rachel and Finn following them.
After saying good night, Rachel went back into the living room and sat down. Finn quickly joined her and sat down next to her, pulling her into his arm and pressing a kiss to her lips.
"Hey," he said quietly.
Rachel smiled at him. "Hey, handsome."
"How was your day?"
Rachel smiled and put her hands on her stomach that had a growing bump. "It was good. But we missed you though."
Finn smiled and bent down and kissed her stomach. "Well, you'll be happy that I arranged a getaway weekend for us this weekend. I figured it was time for some one on one time with just the two of us and our little unborn daughter."
Rachel smiled and kissed Finn deeply. "I'd love that."
Finn pressed his forehead. "I love you Mrs. Hudson."
"I love you Mr. Hudson."
