A/N: Next chapter hopefully in a few days!

Finn walked hand in hand with Rachel up to her house. She rang the doorbell before reaching for the door handle, attempting to twist it.

"Hmm." She said to herself, letting go of Finn's hand, walking over to her right on the porch where a plant lie.

"Never fails." She said, reaching her hand down, grabbing a spare key, flashing it up in front of her face to show Finn before putting it inside the lock.

"Daddy?" Rachel yelled out when she opened the door.

When nobody answered, she looked up at Finn. "This can't be good." She said, a look of worry in her eyes.

"Don't jump to that kind of conclusion." Finn said reassuringly as they let themselves in.

"Anybody?" Rachel then yelled.

Nobody said anything back, so Rachel began to show Finn around. It was exactly the type of house that Finn had pictured her growing up in. It was quaint, and he knew that he wouldn't have any trouble making himself feel at home here for the next few days. After, with the aid of Finn, they carried their bags up the stairs to the room that was once hers. "Welcome to my old room." She said throwing her bags quickly on the ground.

Finn looked around, both surprised and not over the décor of the room. It definitely had a theme, and that theme was Broadway.

"I guess it's wonderful to know that absolutely nothing has changed in this room since I left." She said pleasantly. They both collapsed next to one another on the bed, both exhausted from the flight and the time zone difference.

"It's not much, but it's home." Rachel was saying.

Finn smiled. "I like it."

"I'm glad." She said quietly, her face turning towards him as he kissed her lightly on the lips.

"So, you really think they'll like me?" Finn asked when he pulled away.

Rachel laughed. "My dads? Finn why are you so nervous?"

"I'm not." Finn lied.

"You are, aren't you?" Rachel exclaimed, rolling over so that she was on her stomach, her hands held together in front of her as her elbows and forearms rested on the bed.

"I said no." Finn repeated sternly, only causing Rachel to laugh.

"That's so cute though!" Rachel said through her giggles.

"It's so funny." He joked as he sat up, reaching for her sides as he began to tickle her, causing her to turn back over on her back.

"No, no no." Finn okay. Okay. I'm done. Finn no!" Rachel yelled as he began to tickle her more causing the tiny girl to both laugh and yell.

"Okay, truce. Truce! Stop!" Rachel screamed, Finn now on top of her, stopping.

"Wait a second." Rachel said as Finn leaned down for a kiss. "What a ploy just so you could climb on top of me." She said with a tone of disbelief.

"It worked, didn't it?" Finn said huskily between pecks.

"I hate you." Rachel said jokingly, her arms wrapping around his neck as they began to kiss more passionately, their tongues intertwining fiercely.

As they made out, Finn could feel the tightening in his pants, despite how hard he refrained. There was something about her that just turned him on so easily all the time.

Rachel smiled against his lips as she felt his bulge through his jeans pushing against her inner thigh, feeling her own arousal in between her legs start to build up.

As Finn began to kiss her neck, she let out a soft moan, running her hands through his hair as her body instinctively began grinding up into him roughly. She then turned her head towards her still open bedroom door. Her eyes widened. She heard the commotion downstairs obviously before Finn did. After all, she did live there for eighteen years of her life.

"F-Finn…" Rachel said, trying her hardest not to let out another moan as he kissed the same spot on her neck. "F…"

"Rachel, darling?" Her dad yelled up the stairs.

"Yes?" Rachel screamed. Finn stopped instantly, paralyzed with fear as he looked down at her, climbing quickly off of her.

"It's me dad. I'm just settling in. Hold on, let me come down!" She yelled, standing up, quickly fixing her messy hair.

Finn sat on the bed, unsure of what to do. He wanted her dads to like him, not think he was just another pig of a guy trying to get in their daughter's pants at every opportunity.

"Come on." Rachel said quietly, walking up to him, running her hands through his hair to settle the strands that were every which way.

"Rach…" He sighed, still feeling how aroused he was.

She smiled sweetly. "Your zip-up hoodie is huge, they won't even know." She said, pecking his cheek forcing him to stand. "Stop worrying. They're going to love you. Just like I do, okay?" Rachel said as she grabbed his hand giving it a reassuring squeeze.

He smiled, his arousal already depleting as nervousness overcame his body instead. Holding her small hand in his, they headed downstairs.

"Dad!" Rachel yelled, letting go of Finn's hand as she ran away from the bottom of the steps, into her dad's arms.

Her dad, Leroy Berry, hugged her tightly as he laughed, obviously happy that she was home. "My baby!" He said, looking down at her, his hands on both of her shoulders.

Finn approached them silently, until Rachel turned, giving Finn a fond smile. "Dad, this is Finn Hudson. He's the boy I was telling you about."

"Oh!" Leroy said, holding out his hand which Finn took as they shook hands generously. "So wonderful to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, sir." Finn said, instantly feeling like he was back in high school all over again.

"Please, call me Leroy." He replied. "So I hear you're the one who is taking such good care of my baby out there in Los Angeles." He added.

Finn shrugged but nodded. "Y-yes, I am." He said looking down at Rachel, who smiled. She had never seen anything like this. He was so obviously nervous.

"Where's daddy?" Rachel chimed in, changing the subject to give Finn the opportunity to relax.

Leroy looked down at her. "Now before you freak out…" He said, throwing his hands up in front of him.

"No. Are you serious? Why didn't you tell me? We have to go!" Rachel said, grabbing both of their hands.

"He's perfectly fine, Rachel. Relax. He told me to come back here, knowing you would be home around now." Leroy explained.

"If he's perfectly fine, why is he back in the hospital?" Rachel demanded.

"Tests. That's all. He's visiting with the physician," Leroy said, seeing the anger in her eyes. "I promise."

Rachel eyed him suspiciously before dropping it. "When are you going back to get him?"

"In a little bit. I was going to bring you two with me so that after we could all go grab dinner or something. I know you two must be exhausted after a flight like that, but you two do need to eat am I right?" He said, before looking at Finn. "My goodness you are quite the tall man." He added randomly.

Finn nodded, not saying anything.

"Then let's go." Rachel said. "Now."

"Rach…" Finn said quietly, catching on to the harshness in her tone as she spoke.

Rachel looked up at Finn before looking at her dad. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I've just been so worried since your first phone call."

Leroy nodded. "Of course. Even after I told you not to be. Only you, am I right?" He asked now looking at Finn.

Finn smiled and nodded. "Only her."

"Well, she certainly doesn't get that from me." Leroy said as Finn laughed lightly.

Rachel looked up at the both of them. "I'll go alone if you two want to sit here and have a little powwow over my faults."

"Darling, relax." Leroy said, grabbing the light coat he must've had on when he got home. "We can go now."

Rachel sighed in relief as she looked at Finn. "I know you're exhausted, but do you mind? You don't have to go." She said.

Finn shrugged. "No, no. It's cool. I could always go for food." He said simply as the three headed out the door.

They got to the hospital across the small town about ten minutes later. "I swear it's just some tests." Her dad had told her. Rachel nodded, looking in the back seat at Finn who had been looking out the window, looking at the small city where she grew up. It was the complete opposite of Los Angeles, and part of him wished he would have grown up in a small town. They always intrigued him. Unlike her, he wouldn't mind living in one. "You're quiet." She said with a smile, her large brown eyes looking at him fondly. There it was again, that look she always gave him.

Finn shrugged before giving her a smile. "I'm just tired." He said quietly. Truth was, he was still a bit nervous around her father and the thought of having to meet her other father in just a few mere minutes felt like he was doing this for the first time all over again. His nerves built up once more.

When they stepped out of the car, he followed a few steps back as they approached the hospital door. Her father wrapped his arm around Rachel as she walked closely to him. Rachel was talking his ear off about wanting to take Finn to some place in Lima for dinner. He couldn't quite make it out, but he wasn't too worried about it.

As they entered the hospital, Rachel stopped and turned towards Finn. When he caught up to them, she quickly reached for his hand, giving it a squeeze.

Rachel's dad led the way down the hall towards the room her daddy was in, passing a couple of nurses on the way. When they reached the door, her dad went to open the door just as a nurse was exiting.

"Daddy, oh my goodness!" Rachel said, rushing over to his side. This time, she didn't let go of Finn's hand, only dragged him with her. The physician, who was filling out paperwork, smiled as Hiram Berry embraced Rachel, this time Rachel let go.

"How is he?" Leroy asked the physician, who nodded encouragingly.

"He's just fine." He replied.

"Daddy. Oh it's so nice to finally see you!" She said.

Hiram agreed before looking over towards Finn. "Ah, Finn is it? Wonderful to finally meet you. I've heard nothing but good things about you from this one." He said, as Finn went to shake his hand. His heart was pounding just like his first encounter with Leroy, but he acted somewhat calmer.

They spoke briefly for a few moments before Finn excused himself out of the way so the physician could tell both Leroy and Rachel what was going on. He said that Hiram was fine, and everything was running smoothly, however, he had to take it easy the next few weeks and he would be on a very strict diet. He would also have to continuously make visits so that they could monitor the recovery.

Finn glanced over at Rachel while they all spoke, looking her up and down in the most nonchalant way he could, if that was even possible. She looked both worried and exhausted and Finn felt terrible. Somehow though, despite everything and anything going on around her, she still managed to look as beautiful as ever. When Rachel looked over at him, catching his eyes, she smiled warmly before looking back. His heart filled with joy.

They left the hospital momentarily after, Rachel walking in between her two fathers happily, Finn once more straying a few steps behind. He didn't mind, he knew internally she was happy to be home, even if she did dislike Lima.

Rachel climbed into the back seat next to Finn. "I hope you don't mind, but I suggested we go to Breadstix. It's like one of the few nice restaurants in my town, but it's always been my favorite." She was explaining.

Finn smiled looking at her. "That sounds fine. I'm not picky."

"I know." Rachel said contently before leaned up towards the center console. "Daddy, later can we watch Funny Girl together?"

"You know it, darling." Hiram said back, before looking back at the two. "Has she forced you to watch it yet?" he then asked Finn.

Finn looked at him and nodded. "Oh yeah, more than once."

When they arrived at Breadstix and were seated, Rachel sat closely to Finn as he scanned over the menu. "You'll love…everything." Rachel said with a laugh as Finn looked at her.

"What do you usually get?" Finn then asked her.

Rachel shrugged. "Pasta of course!" she said looking over at her fathers.

The meal went well, and Rachel enjoyed that her fathers and Finn got along so well. They didn't show any signs of disapproval, but then again, she wouldn't know the true answer until she left probably. They seemed to like him, however, and she didn't see why not. He was an absolute gentleman towards them just like he always is towards her. Only one other boyfriend had been serious enough for her to introduce to her fathers and that was Jesse back in high school. They liked him just fine too, but after the way it ended they despised him just as much as her. She shook the thought off, bringing her attention back towards Finn who was talking to them about Bonne Dune.

Her fathers' were smiling and talking with interest. Rachel smiled contently as she joined the conversation, grabbing Finn's hand slowly under the table, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Later that evening, Hiram and Leroy had shown Finn the guest bedroom, telling him he was more than welcome to stay there. Rachel rolled her eyes when they weren't looking, wanting to laugh at the fact that they weren't allowed to be in the same room.

After watching movies with her fathers and Finn that evening, Rachel changed into pajamas in the bathroom off of her room. She threw on Finn's button up shirt. It had become one of her favorite things to wear to bed and she loved that no matter how many times she wore it or washed it, she could still smell the faint scent of him. Maybe she was just imagining it.

When she turned out the light, she listened briefly to the hall, not hearing any sign of commotion. Opening her door quietly, she poked her head out, seeing her fathers' door was closed. She took a deep breath and tiptoed her way down the hall towards where Finn was staying.

She didn't bother knocking when she reached Finn's room. Opening the door, she glanced over to the bed only to find Finn lying there, facing the opposite direction of the doorway. His head turned towards the door quickly, sitting up at the sight of Rachel's tiny body standing there. His breath shortened at the sight of her in his shirt. God did that make her look so sexy. She closed the door behind her, darkness ensuing the two as she made her way towards his bed, climbing into it and up towards him. She stopped when her face met his, sitting on the back of her legs as she leaned in, kissing him softly. He returned the kiss, already wanting more.

"I couldn't sleep knowing you were just down the hall." She whispered, as he planted another kiss on her lips.

"You had to wear my shirt?" He asked huskily.

Rachel bit her bottom lip and smiled. "It's comfortable."

"Uh-huh." Finn said. "And you know it's the sexiest thing ever on you right?"

Rachel giggled. "No."

"You liar." He said, kissing her with more passion.

When Rachel finally managed to pull away, she lied down next to him, waiting for him to do the same. When he did, Rachel snuggled up close to him, immediately closing her eyes. "I didn't come here to seduce you." She mumbled.

Finn laughed. "Oh you didn't?" He asked as he wrapped both of his arms around her, a hand caressing her arm slowly. "Could've fooled me."

Rachel looked up at him smiling. "Well okay, maybe I did. But then it dawned on me how my dads' are right down the hall and well…I'm not so quiet."

Finn laughed. "Good point, babe."

Rachel bit her bottom lip, still looking at him before changing the subject. "I told you meeting them wasn't going to be so bad. I think they like you very much."

Finn shrugged. "Yeah. I think so too."

Rachel rested her head back down, adjusting herself. She was as close as she could get to him without actually being on top of him. "Good." She said quietly, her eyes closing once more.

Finn leaned his head down, kissing the top of her head. "I don't want them to get mad at you for being in here though." He whispered. He didn't want her to leave.

Rachel's eyes opened once more and with a sigh she sat up. Looking down sadly into his eyes, she shrugged. "I don't want to sleep alone."

Finn smiled. She was the cutest girl ever, even when she wasn't trying to be. "How do you do it in Los Angeles then?" He asked curiously.

"That's different." She sighed. "You're not always in the same house as me."

"So pretend I'm not here."

She raised her eyebrows. "That's not possible."

"Okay, okay. Come here." He said, his arms reaching out for her as she cuddled back into him. "If you want to take the risk, it's fine with me. You know I don't want you to go anywhere babe." He said sweetly.

Rachel smiled before closing her eyes once more. "I'll be gone before they wake up." She finalized.

They were both asleep within minutes.
