I would like to take the time to give a huge Thank You to my amazing beta-reader CertifiedGleek who did a lot of work to beef up this chapter for me. I'm so sorry this took so long to post, it took me forever to settle on an idea. Another shout out goes to of my lovely reviewers, I was so happy to see how many reviews were left for me while I was gone. One last thing, I have ideas for the next chapter, which will be Wemma, but once again I need you guys to pick another song. I made a playlist on my Zune with over 30 songs, I will post the list on my profile and then you guys can let me know which songs you like best.
When Rachel and Finn reached the parking lot, they were laughing hysterically at the sight they just witnessed. Ms. Pillsbury looked like a red tomato!
"Looks like Mr. Schue was having a really good time" Finn said, catching his breath as they stumbled to Finn's car, wiping away the few tears they got from laughing so hard at their teacher's predicament.
"Yeah, it sure did" Rachel agreed as Finn opened the door for her and helped her get inside, like the chivalrous boy she had grown to love. They got into Finn's car in silence, just starring at each other deeply.
"Tonight was amazing Finn, thank you" Rachel said sincerely, smiling softly at Finn. Finn's heart melted as he threw her his signature half smile.
"Anything for you Rach" he told her truthfully, reaching over to press a kiss to her cheek softly. Rachel blushed and turned to her phone, scrolling down her phone book to search for Kurt's number. He started the car, and put their song on repeat as they drove to his house. Rachel began texing Kurt the details of what they witnessed in the choir room.
Rachel: Looks like the dress advice we gave Miss. Pillsbury seemed to do the trick.
Kurt:Yay! But what exactly do u mean by that?
Rachel: Well, Finn and I walked by the choir room and saw her making out with Mr. Schue and if you ask me it looked like it was headed somewhere else.
Kurt: Wait...What?
Rachel: Kurt, think about it
Kurt: Ohhh... Damn, go Miss. P! Lol
Rachel: Ikr? Btw, thanks for ruining my moment with Finn earlier.
Kurt: Haha, no problem Princess!
Rachel and Finn pulled to his house a few minutes later, as they got out of Finn's car Rachel's phone went off.
Kurt: Don't say anything 2 Finn about what I told u earlier. He has no idea, but he'll find out soon cuz my Dad's proposing tonite :)
"Who the hell where you texting?" Finn asked, wrapping an arm around her waist as they walked towards the front door of the Hummel-Hudson residence.
"Kurt, Rachel said, "I was just giving him hell for ruining our moment earlier"
"Yeah that really did suck" Finn whispered taking her face in his hands, they were now only inches apart, their lips almost touching...
Just then, the front door opened, and Kurt cleared his throat, immediately causing the two to spring apart as if they'd been burned.
Rachel turned and gave him the death look." Seriously Kurt! You have the WORST timing ever." she thought, as she so had the urge to just flip him off right then.
"Dinner's ready" Kurt announced, stalking off quickly. He knew he would get it from either Finn or Rachel later based on the death glares they gave him. If looks could kill, he'd never make it to his dad's proposal tonight. The couple walked inside, both wishing that Kurt would just leave them alone for at least 5 seconds. As they sat down, Burt stood up at the head of the table, clearing his throat. He looked really nervous. His eyes were twitching and he looked like he was sweating.
"I have an announcement I'd like to make" he said, moving over to Carole's side to take her hand in his. Carole stared at him, jaw dropped as Rachel and Kurt smiled at each other, as Burt dropped to one knee and revealed a small blue velvet box.
"Carol, these last few months have been amazing, and I know it may seem too soon, but I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Carol, will you marry me?" Burt asked, opening the small package to reveal a gorgeous engagement ring. It was a beautiful 3 carat gold plated diamond ring and Carole's eyes filled up with tears.
"Yes" Carol squeaked as tears fell down her face. Burt smiled and slipped the diamond ring on her finger, hugging Carole tightly. Finn felt a hundred emotions running through him. Burt and his mom were getting married? Does that mean that his step-brother was going to be Kurt? Was Carole finally replacing his dad...? Rachel felt Finn's hand slip away from hers and heard the front door slam shut, Rachel looked over to see that Finn was no longer sitting next to her. Rachel looked over to Carole and Burt, who looked very upset at the fact that Finn was not happy for them. Carole made a move to get up but Rachel shook her head and stood up from the table.
"I'll go talk to him" Rachel said quietly, opening the front door. She stepped outside to see Finn sitting under a huge oak tree. She walked over and sat down next to him, leaning over to wrap her arms around him. Finn just wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her to his lap, burying his face into her hair and smelling her sweet scent, effectively calming down.
"Finn? Are you okay? What's wrong?" Rachel asked in concern, turning to face him.
"He's not my Dad." Finn muttered, "I don't want him to be. I feel like finally after all these years my Mom's replacing him." Rachel used her finger to tilt his chin upward so that Finn was looking directly into her eyes.
Rachel cut him off, "Finn, he's not going to be your Dad, he's going to be your Step-Dad, there's a huge difference."
"And besides, when was the last time you saw your Mom this happy?"
"It's been a really long time" Finn admitted, smiling a little. Rachel smiled and leaned in to kiss him, but Finn jerked away a little and looked up.
"Look behind you." he whispered, his gaze turning to the front door.
Rachel turned to see Kurt standing at the front door watching them, this was the third time in a row that night that Kurt had interrupted them and now, Rachel was pissed
"DAMN IT KURT! CAN YOU PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE?" Rachel yelled. With that, Kurt bolted away from the door, making sure to never interrupt them again.
Rachel turned to Finn and pushed him back so that he was lying under her, her face hovering over his before kissing him deeply.
"Finally" she thought, smiling against Finn's lips as she deepened the kiss.
