Chapter 6

"Hey, you guys made it!" Rachel had the biggest smile on her face when she saw Finn standing with Christopher and Alyssa after the show. She nearly ran over grabbing her daughter in a big hug!

"Mommy you were awesome. Can I come to all of your shows?"

Rachel laughed as she put her down, "Hey Chris, Finn!" She looked up as she grabbed him in a tight hug, and kissed his cheek. "Thanks so much for bringing her and coming!"

"Yea, I can't believe I hadn't seen it before, you were amazing. And you look, beautiful. These are for you. The kids helped pick them out." He laughed a bit as her cheeks turned bright pink and he handed her the flowers.

"Thank you Finn, they're beautiful."

The four of them stood there, like a family.

"Rachel?" They all turned around to see a tall thin man making there way towards them.

"Oh hey, Josh."

"You were amazing tonight! The best of the best. And you've never looked better, so beautiful" The tall thin man grabbed her hand in his, kissing it weirdly. Finn, Chris and Alyssa all looked confused as Rachel looked a bit awkward and embarrassed. "Thank you. Guys, this is my co star Josh.."

They all waved at the tall thin man wearing a big scarf. He was handsome but something about him screamed creepy and stuck up.

"Josh this is my daughter Alyssa, I don't think you've met her." She pointed down as Alyssa waved and made a face.

"She looks just like you. Hi!"

Rachel nodded as she pointed towards Finn, "This is my, my…"

Finn looked over at Rachel as she clenched her eyes tightly trying to come up with a good word, "Hi, I'm Finn. And this is my son Christopher."

"Nice to meet you man." They shook hands as Finn looked him up and down. Finn was not liking Josh.

"Yes, this is my Finn. I mean… this is Finn! Um… I'm gonna go grab my stuff so we can get going. " Rachel turned around burying her face into her hands as she walked back to her dressing room.

Finn stood there and laughed a little with the kids at how nervous Rachel had been. Josh excused himself as the three of them stood and waited.

….

The four of them sat the Pizza Parlor enjoying some dinner.

"Mom can we go play with the game over there?"

Rachel looked over at the game set before nodding, "Alright, but stay close."

Alyssa and Chris jumped up as the ran over to the game leaving Finn and Rachel alone at the table.

"Thanks again so much for taking her tonight. You really are the greatest!"

Finn laughed, "Well how could I not, I mean, I am your 'Finn' that would have been rude of me not to."

Rachel eye's grew large as she playfully punched him in the side, "Not funny. I panicked okay. Josh always makes me act crazy. He's a great guy, but really intimidating and not always in a good way."

Finn smiled, "Yea, he seems to have a thing for you."

Rachel rolled her eyes, "Since the beginning of time actually." She laughed.."More like since the beginning of the show. He's a great guy. Really, and so amazingly talented. At one point I even considered saying yes to one of his many date offers."

"What happened?"

Rachel looked up at Finn and his perfect smile, "I met you." Finn was sure his cheeks were pink. "I mean, I don't know what we are right now, hence my struggle earlier with introducing you, but I really like you. I love what an amazing father you are to Chris, and how careful and sweet you are with Alyssa. She's my everything and it means a lot that I can trust you with her. Plus you're really hot!" She winked as she smiled over at Finn.

He laughed as he scooted his chair closer to her. "I really like you too."

Before either of them could say another word, Rachel grabbed his face pulling him close as their lips met.

Chris looked over at his dad, "Ew, they're kissing."

Alyssa quickly turned to see her mom kissing his dad as she laughed, "That's funny. I like your dad, so its okay if they kiss."

He smiled as he looked at his best friend, "Yea, I like your mom to, she's really cool."

Finn smiled as their lips parted and he brushed her hair out of her face, "You ready to go?"

"Yea." With that she grabbed her bag and called out for the kids to come back to the table. "You guys ready, grab your stuff?"

They made their way to the door as Finn shouted back to the cook, "Thank you!"

When they walked outside Finn looked over at Rachel as he grabbed her hand holding it in his.

It was everything he'd hoped.
