The first month of Rachel and Finn's relationship came faster than they expected. They were just falling more and more in love with each other. They were seeing each other every day and happier with each visit. The kids were getting closer to each other and the other adult in their life.

It was the last night before Finn would be going on the road for the first time in the season. Rachel and the kids weren't looking forward to seeing him go. Dayton would be staying the couple of days with Rachel and Briella. He was pretty excited about that part of the deal if he did have to see his dad go for the first time in five years without going with him.

Quinn and Puck had decided to give the two a night with their kids since Finn would be leaving the next day for three days. Puck also wanted to spend some time with Quinn and Elle before he left also.

They were sitting on the couch watching a movie. Both of the kids were cuddled up to Finn. Rachel loved to see the way he was with them. She knew she had a wonderful man on her hands. She didn't plan on letting him go anytime soon.

There was a knock on the door and then the doorbell sounded. Finn said, "Cuddle with Rach for a bit. I'll be right back. Don't do anything without me." The kids then curled up next to Rachel.

Finn got to the door to see Blaine and Kurt. Finn asked angrily, "What do you want? I haven't seen you in about a month. What would make you want to show up now? Did you hear that Rachel was going to be here? I leave tomorrow and I would really like some time with Rachel, Brie and my son."

Kurt said, "I'm sorry. I am really sorry. I can't believe it took me so long to apologize. I should have been here the day after this started to tell you how sorry I was. Finn, you are my brother. Dayton is my nephew. He is a great kid. It took not having him in my life the last month for me to realize how much I take advantage of him. He doesn't deserve that. You don't either."

Finn sighed. Kurt had a way to make you want to forgive him for anything. Finn said, "Come in. Just know that this isn't the end of this. I'm not going to forgive you that easily. When it comes to my son I will do anything I have to. That is even if I have to kick your butt."

"I know and that makes you a great dad. I really am sorry. Blaine has been telling me how wrong I have been for the last month, but it took a while for me to see it for myself."

"I'm glad you did. Dayton asks about you and I wasn't about to break his heart by telling him that you didn't like him. He looks up to you."

"I'm sorry. I really am."

"Whatever you say. Good luck winning Rach over. She is pretty protective. It is like messing with momma bear and a baby cub."

Kurt then got nervous. He didn't want his favorite Broadway diva to hate him for a mistake. He said, "I hope she won't hate me. I really enjoy her work."

"Bro, you are going to have some butt kissing to do."

"I'm ready for it. I'll do what I have to."

"You have to realize that she is straight and my girlfriend. You can't have her."

Kurt laughed. "Dually noted."

Finn ushered them in the house. They walked into the living room. Rachel looked up and said, "Hello."

Finn said, "Guys, why don't you go play with Dayton's room."

Dayton said, "But daddy! I want to be with you and Rachel. You leave tomorrow."

"We have some big people talking to do. It take long and then I am all yours again."

"Okay. Come on Brie!" The two of them went running off to the bedroom.

Rachel looked up and said, "Hello Kurt. You must be Blaine. It is nice to meet you." She stuck her hand out to Blaine who took it.

Finn kissed Rachel's cheek and said, "Babe, play nice. No need to go momma bear here."

She looked up at him and said, "But the two of you are so important to me. I don't want you to hurt for any reason. Especially not by family."

Kurt said, "I'm sorry for what I said and did. I didn't realize what I was missing out on until now. I am so sorry for the things that I said. Dayton and Finn didn't deserve that. The two of them are great together and I should have seen that sooner than I did. I just hope that you can eventually get to know me."

Rachel managed a smile, "I would like to know you. I just hope you know that I care about your brother and Dayton a great deal. I hate when people I care about are hurt."

"That is what Finn needs. He deserves someone that cares about him and Dayton other than just to get to his fame. He has turned down every other woman before you. You must be special to get the seal of approval from both Hudson guys."

Rachel smiled. She looked up at Finn and said, "I have never felt more special than when I am with him, Dayton and my Briella."

"I know this is probably a terrible question to ask at this time, but can I get an autograph while you still like me?"

Rachel wrapped her arms around Finn's waist and said, "I'll make you a deal. You show me that I am not making a mistake giving you a chance then I will give you that autograph. I'm a mother. We don't just forgive and forget that quick."

Kurt smiled. "That sounds like a deal. I hope I can show you that I am not all bad, Miss. Berry."

"Please call me Rachel."

Finn stepped in and said, "You guys probably don't want to stick around while we are watching Peter Pan. I promised the kids that we would have a good night before I leave for my first game of the season."

Blaine finally spoke up after watching the whole situation in front of him, "Kurt, we should go home. Finn is going to be out of town a few days and I think the couple needs some time with their kids. We don't need to intrude on their evening."

Kurt asked, "Can we go back to having weekly dinners next week? I really want to have the relationship with you and Dayton that I should have had all along."

Finn told him, "I don't think that would be such a bad thing. We will see you next week."

Kurt and Blaine left. Finn kissed Rachel full on the mouth and said, "You are amazing. You handled that so well. I love the way you care for Dayton and I. I am very lucky to have you in my life."

"No. I'm the lucky one. You are so good to me."

"Let's go get our children and continue our movie night. Is it bad that I'm so into Peter Pan?"

Rachel laughed. "Not at all, honey. It is very cute. The kids love that you get so into the movie along with them."

"Then let's get back to the movie. I don't want to miss any more time with them. I hate that I have to leave tomorrow. I'm just so glad I get to see you before I leave. I can't believe you are taking off the day for me."

"I'm doing it for you and the kids. I know Day and Brie aren't going to be very happy that you are gone. I'll have to come up with something to get them happy, but I can't blame them. I'm going to miss you."

"Aww… Babe, I'm going to miss you too. I'll be back on Monday. I'm glad you are going to be able to watch Day. I didn't feel right asking Quinn to keep him when she is going to be busy with Elle."

"Don't have a second thought about it. I'm glad to have him over. I know that Brie is going to enjoy it as much as I will." Finn kissed Rachel and they went to get the kids to watch the movie.


Rachel and Finn each had a child asleep on their lap. Rachel stood up and said, "I guess the two of us should be getting home. I'll see you in the morning when I drop you off at the airport."

Finn told her, "You don't have to do. Brie is already asleep. The two of you could spend the night here."

"I think it would be best for us to go home. I don't want to rush things and ruin what we have going now."

"I guess you are right. Rach, I'm glad we had tonight. I haven't been this happy in a long time."

Rachel smiled. "I feel the same way. I'm so glad I have you in my life. I hope I'm not upsetting you by not spending the night."

"Of course not. I'm sorry for asking. I just thought it would be easier than going all the way across town with her."

"That is so sweet. You are so nice to me. I really don't know how I got so lucky."

"It is our kids' fault. They were the ones that got us to where we are now. Thank you for saving me."

"You were the one that saved me. You saved us. Brie and I are so much happier than we have been in a long time. She thinks the world of you. I think the world of you, too."

Finn smiled. "You are the best. I thank my lucky stars for you all the time."

"I do the same. I really do need to get home, babe. I'll see you in the morning." Finn leaned over and kissed Rachel one last time. Then he walked her to the car with Briella.

Finn was thinking about it. He really didn't want to leave her and the kids, but his job was calling for it. He knew one thing for sure and that was that he would be coming back to them every time he had to leave and it made it all worthwhile. He fell asleep a happy man and couldn't wait to see what was coming their way in the days if not months or years hopefully. He was thinking about going through the long run with her.
