October 2013

Rachel rushed up to Finn when she found him sitting on a bench in Central Park. "I'm sorry that I'm late. Rehearsal ran a little over time and the Subway was delayed, but I—"

"Rachel, baby." Finn chuckled and pulled her down so that she was sitting next to him. "It's okay." Slipping his hand behind her neck, Finn pulled Rachel close and kissed her. She smiled against his lips and gripped the collar of his shirt so that she could deepen the kiss.

When they broke apart, Finn pulled a small white paper bag out from behind his back and held it out to her. "I got you something," he said with that adorable half smile.

Rachel eagerly took the bag from him and quickly opened it. She beamed at him when she saw the brownie inside and kissed his cheek in thanks. Finn watched with an amused look on his face as she ate the brownie with childlike excitement.

"It's from your favorite bakery," Finn said. Rachel nodded her head and offered a bite to Finn, which he gladly accepted. The little café he had first taken her to the September before (where they had their first not-really but it actually was a date) had become her favorite. As she sat there happily munching on her snack, Rachel realized that they were sitting in a very familiar place.

Rachel finished the brownie and gave Finn a sweet smile. "This is the place where we first kissed," she said. She observed the area around them, getting lost in her memories from that day.

"I remember." Finn reached into his pocket again, but he kept his fist closed around whatever he pulled out. He took Rachel's hand and she turned to look at him. "I actually have a question for you."

"Of course, Finn," Rachel said. "Anything."

Finn grinned and opened his palm, revealing a beautiful vintage diamond ring. "You can marry me if you want to."

Rachel stared down at the ring in Finn's hand before she looked up at him. Tears gathered in her eyes, but she was wearing a bright smile on her face. Rachel's fingers tightened around his and she nodded her head.

"Yes," she said. Then she repeated her answer, but louder this time. "Yes!"

Finn let out a laugh of pure joy and wrapped Rachel in his arms, pulling her close and placing kisses all over her face and neck. They both couldn't keep the huge smiles off their faces as Finn pulled back and slid the ring onto Rachel's finger. They both looked down at her hand and marveled over how perfect that ring looked there.

"Finn, it's beautiful," Rachel whispered.

Finn looked very proud of himself. "Believe it or not, I picked that ring out all by myself."

Rachel tilted her head in thought. "Did you tell anyone that you were doing this?" she asked curiously.

Finn smirked and took Rachel's left hand, running his fingers over the band that now rested proudly on her third finger. "I may have decided to keep this to myself. You know, just in case. In fact, the only people that know are your fathers, and that's because I asked them for their permission."

Rachel smiled when she heard that Finn had asked her fathers. She wouldn't have expected anything less from him. It was definitely something that he would do, and he also knew that she would appreciate the romantic gesture. Finn lifted Rachel's left hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles.

"Kurt is going to kill you when he finds out that you did this without consulting him first, you know. He's had a binder prepared since he found out that we started dating."

Finn rolled his eyes. "Why do you think I didn't tell him?"

Rachel wrapped her arms around Finn's neck and kissed him again. "I love how you proposed to me. It was perfect."

Finn grinned and wondered how it was possible to be happier. "I love you so much, Rachel Berry."

Rachel held up her hand so that she could see her ring once again before she looked at Finn—her fiancé. "I love you too, Finn Hudson."

November 2016

Finn remembered three years ago when he thought that he couldn't be happier. He found that he had been wrong when he saw Rachel walking down the aisle towards him. She had looked radiant in her beautiful white dress, and he couldn't imagine a more perfect moment. But once again, he was proved wrong.

Now he was watching Rachel hold their newborn son. Her hair was sweaty and pushed back from her forehead, and her cheeks were flushed from the effort of the labor. She looked bone-tired but completely and utterly blissful. Finn didn't think that she had ever looked more beautiful. He leaned over and kissed Rachel gently before he looked down at their son.

"He's perfect, Rach. He's absolutely perfect."

Rachel adjusted the blue blanket that was covering his little body. "I think he looks like you."

"You think so?" Finn tilted his head. It was too early to tell, but it didn't really matter to Finn either way. His newborn son was the best parts of both him and Rachel.

Rachel nodded her head. "I know that he's going to grow up to be just as amazing as you, Finn."

Finn smiled and held a finger out. The baby wrapped his tiny fist around Finn's finger and gripped it tightly. He grinned and wasn't embarrassed when he felt tears burning in his eyes. "We have to name him, you know."

"I was thinking about that," Rachel said. "I know we've been talking about names, but nothing felt right, you know? But I heard another name yesterday, and I thought that it sounded perfect." When Finn nodded his head, Rachel revealed the name. "Thomas."

Finn looked down at their son and tried the name out. "Thomas Hudson."

"Thomas Christopher Hudson," Rachel added.

"Thomas Christopher Hudson," Finn repeated. He grinned and leaned down to kiss the baby's—Thomas's—little forehead. "It's perfect." He bent to kiss Rachel again, his lips lingering tenderly on hers.

"I love you so much," Rachel breathed out when he pulled away. She lifted baby Thomas a bit more and then said, "We both love you."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Before either Finn or Rachel could respond, the door was pushed open and Kurt and Quinn struggled past each other into the room. Finn and Rachel watched with amused looks as both of their significant others followed them in.

"Kurt, you are being such a pain right now!" Quinn exclaimed.

Kurt let out a dramatic gasp. "Me? You're the one that's being a pain! You insisted that you had to be in here first!"

"Um, of course I get to be the first one in here," Quinn snapped. "I'm the aunt of this child. And I demand to know if it's a boy or a girl and what his or her name is."

"Well, I'm this child's godfather," Kurt retorted. "I'm also Finn's brother. I get to be in here first!"

"I'm Rachel's sister! If you get to be in here because you're Finn's brother, then I get to be in here because I'm Rachel's sister!"

Puck and Blaine just watched the exchange between the two of them and shook their heads. They had each spent the better part of the last two hours trying to referee the argument between Quinn and Kurt. Obviously, they haven't been very successful.

Finally, Finn put a stop to their disagreement. "Would you two cut it out?" he demanded. "My son is trying to sleep and my wife is exhausted." Rachel looked up at Finn and gave him a grateful smile, and he kissed her temple.

Both Kurt and Quinn immediately stopped arguing and turned to look at the family gathered on the bed. Their eyes fell to the baby that Rachel was cradling, and their eyes went wide at the same time.

"It's a boy?" Kurt finally asked.

Rachel nodded her head. "And his name is Thomas." She tilted the baby so that the other four occupants of the room could see him.

"Oh my God, Rachel." Quinn, along with everyone else, moved closer to the bed. "He's so cute!"

"And so little," Kurt added. "And dear God, he looks like Finn. But I think he'll have your hair, Rachel."

"Finally," Puck muttered as he rolled his eyes. "They agree on something. It only took two hours and a new life being brought into the world."

Both Quinn and Kurt ignored him as they fussed over the new baby. They pretty much crowded onto the bed until they pushed Finn off. With an amused look, Finn joined Puck and Blaine by the door. All three watched Kurt, Quinn, and Rachel interact with the new baby.

"Congratulations, Finn," Blaine said. "He's beautiful."

Finn couldn't help the pride that surged through him as he watched his wife and newborn son. It was mixed in with the love that grew every single day. "It's just so… amazing," Finn mused to himself more than anyone else. "We waited nine months to meet him and now he's finally here and he's… perfect. They both are."

Rachel looked up then and caught Finn's eye. She beamed at him, her eyes bright with love and happiness. Finn knew that he would do everything he could to make sure that it stayed like that every day and beyond.

The cries of her son immediately woke Rachel from her deep sleep. It had only been two weeks since they brought Tommy home, and Rachel couldn't stop herself from constantly checking on him. Every time he made the slightest noise, Rachel was instantly by his side.

She made to get out of bed, but Finn's warm hand pressed to her back. Rachel felt him lean over and kiss her temple. "I've got him," he said. Then he kissed her lips softly, and Rachel's eyes fluttered open to see him smiling down at her. "Go back to sleep, baby."

A sleepy smile lifted Rachel's lips and she rolled over onto his side to watch him get out of bed. "Love you," she murmured.

"I love you, too," Finn said. He pulled a t-shirt on and then went down the hall to the nursery. Tommy was crying, but at this point Finn knew that it wasn't his hungry cry or the needing a diaper change cry. Tommy just wanted to be held. Finn leaned over and pulled his son out of the crib. As soon as he was settled against his chest, Tommy's cries quieted.

"There you go, buddy," Finn muttered as he gently shifted his weight back and forth. Tommy blinked up at him with big brown eyes that were identical to Rachel's, and it only made Finn smile. It was too early to tell who he would look like more, but Tommy definitely had Rachel's coloring.

As Finn slowly rocked back and forth, he began to sing a lullaby that he remembered from his childhood. It wasn't long before he could feel someone else's eyes on him, and he turned to find Rachel standing in the doorway. She was wrapped up in one of his sweatshirts, and her hair was a tangled mess around her head. But she looked so completely and utterly happy, and Finn smiled at her.

Leaning against the door, Rachel let out a little sigh before she said, "I'm so lucky to have you."

Finn's brow arched. "What?"

Rachel's heart swelled with love for the man standing in front of her. She watched as he protectively cradled their child against his chest, using one hand to soothingly rub the baby's back. Tommy's little head turned and his eyes found his mother. Once he caught sight of Rachel, his eyes drooped.

Rachel stepped forward and gently kissed Tommy's little forehead. Then she looked up at Finn and smiled. "I was just thinking about everything that we've been through. All of the things that we've had to overcome, and now look where we are."

With his free hand, Finn reached forward and cupped Rachel's face, his thumb stroking across her cheek. "You know that I love you even more because of it," Finn murmured.

Rachel looked up at him with wide eyes. Finn looked down and found that their son was once again fast asleep. He settled the infant back in the crib before he took Rachel's hand and led her out of the nursery.

Finn slid his fingers into Rachel's hair and tilted her head back a little. "Your strength and your grace during that time… it amazed me. And it still does. You find some new way to inspire me every day."

Rachel felt tears unexpectedly come to her eyes at Finn's beautiful words. She slid her hands over Finn's, squeezing tightly. "You're so good and honest and I just love you so much, Finn. Thank you for being there for me and giving me this amazing life and helping me have our beautiful baby boy."

Finn gently pressed Rachel against the wall. He bent until his lips were hovering right over hers. "Thank you," he said in return before he kissed her.

May 2017

"Who's my perfect little nephew? You are! Yes you are, Thomas Hudson!"

Finn shook his head as he watched his brother interact with six-month old Tommy. "I really don't know what to think of this," he finally said.

Blaine shook his head. "Kurt has been on a baby kick ever since you and Rachel had Tommy."

That caused Finn to smirk. "Maybe you and Kurt should start thinking about babies now."

"No way." Blaine held his hands up and shook his head. "We still have to get through planning this wedding. Could you imagine Kurt planning a baby shower? No, we're going to get married first. And then we're going to wait a year or two. But until then…" Blaine smiled. "I'm more than happy being Uncle Blaine."

"I did see Kurt planning a baby shower, remember? He organized Rachel's. I went crazy during the planning, and I wasn't even involved," Finn said with a snort.

"I heard that!" Kurt exclaimed. "I know that the two of you are talking about me. If you don't stop it, I won't watch Tommy for the night."

"Yes you will," Blaine said with a sigh. "You want to spend time with him. And if you refuse to watch Tommy, I will. Finn and Rachel deserve to go out for the night."

As if on cue, Rachel walked into the living room. She had spent the past couple of hours getting ready for her and Finn's first night out since Tommy was born. They were going on a date and spending the night at a hotel. Finn had planned it all, and while Rachel was looking forward to a romantic night out with him, she was still anxious about leaving Tommy.

"Wow, Rachel," Finn breathed as he took in her appearance. She was wearing a strapless purple dress with her hair curled into a low knot at the nape of her neck. Finn crossed the room and pulled Rachel into his arms. "You look amazing." With that, his lips came down over hers. Rachel smiled against his lips before she returned the kiss, stretching up to wrap her arms around his neck.

"Could you please stop?" Kurt exclaimed. "Number one, you are my brother and one of my closest friends. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't need to say any of that. And number two, you have very young eyes in the room!"

Finn rolled his eyes. "Give it a rest, Kurt. Or we'll call Santana and she and Brittany can come over and babysit with the two of you."

Kurt let out a dramatic gasp. "No way! I already had to fight Quinn for the first overnight babysitting event. I called it first. There is no way that I'm going to let Santana come and ruin it."

"Event?" Finn gave his brother an incredulous look. "What do you mean, babysitting event? What do you plan on doing with my son?"

Rachel knew that it was time to step in. She ran her hands up his chest and turned his face towards hers. "Remember the night you have planned for us?"

Finn tightened his grip on his wife's waist as a smile appeared on his lips. "You're right." He kissed her gently before he pulled away and gave Kurt a pointed look. "Don't overdo it tonight, Kurt."

"Don't worry, Finn," Blaine said. "I won't let him."

And now the moment had officially come. Rachel and Finn had to say goodbye to their son and go off on their night. Rachel took Tommy from Kurt and cradled him as she pressed a kiss to his forehead. She adjusted his shirt a little bit and smiled when he made some baby noises at her.

"I put a list of everything that Tommy needs on the fridge. And if you have any other questions, you have both my and Finn's cell phone numbers. Actually, if you have any questions at all, just call me. And everything that he needs has been set aside in the nursery, and—"

"Come on, Rach," Finn said. He lifted Tommy out of her arms and kissed his tiny forehead as well as he said goodbye to him. "Say goodbye to the boy and let's get going."

"Aren't you worried about leaving him here?" Rachel demanded.

"Of course I am," Finn said. He allowed Rachel to say goodbye one more time before he handed Tommy off to Blaine. "But I trust Blaine and Kurt… well, mostly Blaine. Everything will be just fine."

"Alright, fine." Rachel kissed the top of Tommy's head again and said, "Mommy and Daddy love you, Tommy! We'll see you tomorrow morning!" Tommy gave his parents a smile and gurgled a little bit. And with that, Finn and Rachel said their goodbyes to Kurt and Blaine and left.

Rachel climbed back into bed and settled on Finn's chest. He groaned and tugged on the t-shirt she was wearing (which was actually his). "Who said you were allowed to wear clothes?" he mumbled.

Rachel grinned and pulled the shirt off. As she settled into Finn's side again, she was once again reminded of how much she loved the feel of his skin against hers. He ran his hands up and down her naked back, tickling her skin lightly.

"How did your call with Kurt and Blaine go?" Finn asked.

Rachel didn't look at him as she spoke. "What makes you think that I called them? I only went to the bathroom."

Finn chuckled, and Rachel could feel it deep in his chest. "Rach, baby. I know that you called them."

She sighed. "Fine. I did call them. But I just wanted to check up on Tommy." Turing her face up towards his, she gave him a pointed look and said, "Don't pretend like you haven't called them, either."

Finn gave her a wide-eyed look. He knew that he had been caught. "I might have called… once or twice."

"See! You wanted to check up on him just as much as I did!"

"How about we make a deal then." Finn rolled Rachel underneath him. "We won't call again until tomorrow morning."

Rachel moaned as Finn's hand disappeared under the blankets and slipped between their bodies. "Mmmm, okay. I love you, Finn."

"I love you too, Rachel Hudson," Finn murmured as his lips came down over her neck.

As she let Finn love her, Rachel couldn't believe how amazing her life was. She and Finn had created a wonderful life together, and now they had a fantastic family and a beautiful son. They loved each other for everything that they were, and she knew that things could only get better from here. Finn smiled at her, and Rachel knew that this was what the rest of her life was going to be like: filled with love and happiness and everything that she ever wanted.
