You'll probably won't like me for this one. :/
Chapter 18: This Happens
The Holidays were amazing. The break was great for the soon to be married couple. They kept in touch with their friends and met the Schuester twins Sofia and Bryan who are four-years old. Rachel got the vocal training teacher job at William Georgia and started after the Holidays were over. Hanukah was wonderful for the Berry family. Finn bought the family gifts for eight nights and spoiled his two favorite girls in the world.
He even bought Ashley a little puppy on Christmas. Rachel slapped him playfully. Ashley would come visit the puppy whenever she gets a chance. Finn promised to keep it at his house but realized the puppy would have to go. He got a little tiny golden retriever and Ashley did the honors of naming him Star. He had an idea that the puppy could stay with Burt and Carole when his girls move in with him.
As for the wedding, Rachel couldn't stop talking about it. Her dads have bought her the most beautiful wedding dress ever. They talked about who would be what and sent invites to their friends and family. Mostly everyone RSVP'd Finn understood that they would be married in a synagogue and the Berry's Rabbi would marry them. She didn't want to get married in Lima though. Neither did Finn. She remembered that her father's went to Hawaii and attended a synagogue there. It was beautiful, very peaceful. So they booked everything. They couldn't wait for the date. June 29th, 2022 will be the day that they become Mr. and Mrs. Hudson.
Rachel's bridesmaids were Tina, Mercedes, Brittany, and Santana. Sam was the head usher while Kurt is the best man. Rachel's dads would walk her down the aisle while Finn's mom would do the same. The flower girls were of course Sofia and Ashley while Bryan is the ring bearer.
Finn made breakfast for his family. It was a cold winter Saturday. He prepared hot chocolate. "This is great, Finn." Hiram compliments after taking a bite of the omelet.
"Thank you, sir." Finn says.
"It's a vegan omelet. Aaww! Finny, you shouldn't have." Rachel says.
"Hey, if I'm going marry a girl who's a vegan, I should at least know how to cook vegan." He tickles Rachel and she giggles.
"It tastes good, Daddy." Ashley smiles.
"Although, our daughter wasn't raised to be a vegan. She can eat anything she wants." Rachel smiles at her daughter.
Ashley smiles back. "You're dresses should be here soon. The tuxes and everything. Oh, Rachel...you're going to look so beautiful in your dress." Leroy tells his daughter.
Rachel smiles. "I can't wait, daddy. Finny and I are meant to be married. We're meant to stay together."
"Always." Finn says.
They ate breakfast happily. Everyone was all smiles and for Finn that's all he wants.
For his family to be happy.
They've spend the whole afternoon Ice Skating. They've also watched a movie and ate dinner at Breadsticks. They spent all day laughing together as a family and even joking.
The fun has died down when a familiar blonde came towards them. "Hello, Finn. Hello, Rachel." She greets them. "Aaw! Who's this, she's precious." Rachel looks away and just stares at Finn's chest. He wraps his gigantic arms around her.
"Hello, Quinn." Finn greets her. He knows he can't be rude in front of his daughter. "This is our daughter Ashley."
"I didn't know you guys had a daughter together. She's beautiful."
Ashley smiles.
"What's up, Quinn?" Finn asked. This whole time Rachel will be staring at his chest. "Just having dinner. A good friend of mine from Yale just stepped out."
"Oh." Finn responds.
"So, Rachel? I heard you saw Puck."
Rachel didn't move nor did she respond. "Puck told me some crazy stories about you. I'm sorry for your miscarriage. Face it, it just means that you and Finn aren't meant to be together." Quinn says harshly. "What man would still want to be with a woman after losing their child?" Rachel stares at Finn with fear written all over her face. Finn kisses Rachel.
"Daddy and Mommy are getting married! They are together, you meanie!" Ashley yells at the older girl.
Finn held onto Rachel tightly. He sees she's on the verge of crying but he does his best to relax her. "Stay here with Ashley, baby. Don't move. Ashley? Protect your mother." Finn says. Rachel nods and listens to Finn. She moves next to Ashley while Finn gets up.
He takes Quinn out of the restaurant.
This whole Quinn thing needs to stop.
"I know you and Puck had a rough relationship. Puck's dealing with it too but not like this. He isn't going from one woman to another. He isn't going after his ex-girlfriends either." Finn began what he wanted to say. "Quinn? What you said in there was way, way, way out of line."
Quinn shrugs her shoulders. 'She doesn't deserve happiness. No one seen her for years and she comes back. She comes back to be with you ...it's just not fair. I gave her buddy passes to come see me."
"And why haven't you seen her?" Finn asked.
"Because she made it sound that way that she wanted no one to see her." Quinn says.
"You have to stop whatever it is your doing. I'm in love, madly in love. I am engaged to the most beautiful girl in the world. I'm a father!" Finn says. "Rachel can be fragile here and there so please just leave us the hell alone."
"Can I just tell her that I'm sorry?" Quinn asked.
"Do you really mean it?" Finn asked. "Because I know after tonight, she'll cry again."
Quinn nods. "I mean it." She says.
They go back inside the restaurant. Finn stands behind Quinn to watch her apologize. Surprisingly, Rachel stayed calm.
"Well?" Finn breaks the awkward silence. Quinn turns around, wraps her arms around Finn's neck, and kisses him.. She gives Rachel a smirk and walks away. Rachel stands up and stares at Finn with anger in her brown eyes. She slaps Finn across the face
What kind of freaking apology was that? How did I let that happen? I'm in shocked...my ex-girlfriend kissing me in front of my fiancé and our daughter. I have to fix this. I have to make things right.
I have to convince her that the kiss means nothing to me.
Please review and tell me what you think.
