"Shhhh…." he soothed picking her up and taking her into the bathroom. Shutting the door behind them, Finn set Rachel on the bathroom counter and went to turn on the bath tub. Setting the water to hot, Finn returned to Rachel. Hooking his fingers under the hem of his shirt she was wearing Finn pulled it off and let it drop to the floor. She was bare underneath. 'Goodness she was gorgeous.' He thought taking her in. He smiled at the little blush he saw color her cheeks.
Stripping his own clothing, Finn guided Rachel to the tub and turned the water off before the tub got to full; shutting the lights off along the way . Getting in first, Finn helped Rachel into the tub once he is settled and she settles against him in the dark. This was one of her favorite things to do when she was upset…and he would always do it with her. He held her as her head rested on his chest and the hot water in the tub cloaked them with warmth. He felt her tracing lazy patterns into his chest as he stroked her in the dark.
"Thank you." He heard her murmur so quietly that he almost missed it.
He chose not say anything. Instead he just held her. A few hours later he moved them to the bed so that he was able to cuddle her. Both bare and slightly damp, Finn wrapped himself around his little star only to have her turn in his arms so she was able to face him. Lacing her front into his, their bodies became one.
Comfortable and sedated, they cuddled each other into the dark. Before falling into sleep that night, Finn heard her murmur,
"I love you." Into his neck. As if it was the most natural thing in the world, Finn instinctively whispered back,
"I love you more."
And then they were gone. Into their own dream land wrapped around each other blanketed together.
Rupert never received anything from Finn that night, but he was okay with that. Because he found more comfort in knowing he was with her then what any phone call could ever bring.
