The squeaking had become seemingly endless by the time Will screamed. "Your turn to get him hon" Finn muttered and flipped onto his side. "Then you better get Chris to stop jumping before-" "CHRIS STOP JUMPING YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!" "That happens" Rachel finished and climbed out of bed. She trudged over to the bassinet where William Anthony Hudson was wailing. "Hey Will. It's alright baby, mommy's here." She picked him up and rocked him until he was silent.
Finn rolled off the mattress and left to get Chris. He saw his little son jumping on his bed and smiled at how much he was like him at that age. "Chris buddy, you gotta stop jumping no one can sleep." "No." Or maybe not. "Yes." Finn walked to his bed. He picked Chris up and pulled his baseball quilt off his bed. Then, he laid Chris on the bed and tucked the covers up tight to him. "It's nearly one in the morning. You have to get to bed or you will hate yourself in the morning." "No I won't" Chris said stubbornly and yawned. "Okay buddy. Goodnight." Finn turned off Chris' light and tip toed out of the room.
He walked into the girls' room and looked around. "I can't sleep" Danielle complained "Barbara won't shut up." "Be nice to your sister." Finn reprimanded but smiled. "I'll be nice when she is" Danielle replied and turned to the wall. "And Barbara, you be quiet. You both have to get to bed before Chris' game tomorrow." "Yes Dad" the said in unison and he left their room.
Just as he got into his room, Rachel rushed past him and into the bathroom. He could hear her throwing up. "Are you okay baby?" he asked her. She tilted her head up towards him. "I've been sick all this week. I think I caught the flu from Puck." Finn shrugged "we can go to the doctor's after Chris' game." "Okay." Rachel washed her mouth in the sink and followed Finn back to their room. For whatever reason, Finn was very happy. Even long nights couldn't change that feeling that something good was going to happen in time. And he kissed Rachel like he hadn't since high school.
