This is amazing. I love that you are still reading this story. I really like where it is going. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think. I love your thoughts. :)

To say Rachel was sad would be an understatement. She missed Finn much more than she ever thought she would. She just knew there was something special about him that would always put butterflies in her stomach and a smile on her face. Finn was just what she and Briella needed in their lives.

Rachel was going to go pick the kids up from school. She was ready to try to make them happy even if she wasn't her happiest. She knew neither of them would be happy without Finn. There was just something about him that brought happiness to all involved.

Briella and Dayton came running over to Rachel. Dayton asked, "Is daddy gone?"

"He is. He will be back late Sunday night. We are going to have some fun while he is gone. I think your daddy talked Quinn into bringing Elle over tonight to see us. I know you miss him, but he will be back before you know it."

Dayton lowered his head. "I know. I just miss him."

"That's okay, little man. I miss him, too. He said he would call later tonight when he was out of practice and at the hotel. He isn't going to forget about you, I promise."

"Thanks Rachel."

"Okay guys. Let's go do something. What do you want to do?"

Briella exclaimed, "Central Park!"

Rachel laughed and said, "I think we could manage a walk in the park before Quinn and Elle come over." The two kids took one of Rachel's hands and they were off to an afternoon in the park.

Rachel was sitting with Quinn in the living room while the kids were playing in Briella's room. There was an awkward silence as they sat there. Quinn was rocking Elle. Rachel finally broke the silence and said, "I know you don't like me very much. I just want you to know that Finn and Dayton mean so much to me. I will do everything in my power to make them happy. I just hope the two of us can be friends since Finn and Noah are such good friends. I don't want to do anything to make you like me any less than you already seem to."

Quinn cleared her throat and said, "Finn, Puck and I have grown up together. When Macie broke his heart it broke all of our hearts. An upset Finn Hudson is something you never want to see. You have made him happier than I have seen him in years. He loves Dayton and his job, but you seem to bring something out in him that all of us have been trying to find again for years. It isn't that I don't like you. It is just that I don't want to see Finn or Dayton get too attached. I don't want the same thing that happened with Macie to happen here. Dayton is old enough to know what is going on now and he is such a trusting little boy."

"That is what makes his special. He is such a sweet little boy and I am more than lucky to have the chance to be in his life. I don't plan on going anywhere any time soon. The two of them are very important to me. I have never felt the way that I feel with the two of them with anyone else. I just hope that I didn't make a bad impression the first time around. I get really nervous around some people."

"Why? You are famous? You are around people all the time."

"To me they don't matter as much. You and Noah are important to Finn and Dayton. I didn't want to say something foolish and have you dislike me right away. I wanted you to like me. I don't see myself as having a chance with the two of them if you and Noah don't like me. I hope I haven't upset you in any way. If I have I hope I can right it. I would really like to have you as a friend. I only have one true friend because of the life I live. Briella is my number one priority and everyone only wants to know me because of my fame. I don't want that for me or my daughter. Finn is a breath of fresh air in my life."

"I'm glad he found you. I'm sorry if I made you think that you aren't enough. They love you. I can tell. I have been the only girl in this group of guys for as long as I can remember and it is nice to have another girl around for once. I think we could really be friends. If Finn likes you, I can't see why I wouldn't. It is going to be nice to have someone else while the guys are away. It gets pretty lonely sometimes."

"I bet it does. I'm not looking forward to that part of the job, but I really care about Finn."

"That is good."

Elle was cooing in Quinn's arms. Rachel smiled and said, "She is beautiful. She is such a little sweetheart. I miss having a baby. It wasn't an easy job, but I miss the baby days. They are so much fun. They grow up way too fast."

"Would you like to hold her?"

"Are you sure?"

Quinn laughed. "Yes. My arms are starting to fall asleep. I could use a break and I can see that you are dying to hold her."

Rachel took the little girl and held her. She was happy to find a new friend that understood her.

Rachel was sitting on the couch in between the two kids after Quinn left. Finn had called to talk to all three of them. He told them how much he missed them and couldn't wait for Sunday into Monday to get there so he could see them again. Rachel didn't realize that she could miss someone so much. In the month that she had known Finn her life had changed more than she ever expected it to. She then knew that she was falling in love with this man, but didn't know how or when to tell him this discovery.

Rachel's phone rang. She got up quietly when she noticed both kids were asleep next to her. She quietly said, "Hello?"

Then she heard, "Berry, where have you been all my life? I miss my little Berry, too. Why have you been avoiding me?"

Rachel said, "Santana, I have not been avoiding you. I have been busy with the show and Briella."

"And your man and his boy. Why have I not met the man that has stolen the heart of my Berry? Are you ashamed of me?"

Rachel laughed. "I am not ashamed of you. I love you. You are my best friend. You know that. Your sense of humor is hard to take sometimes and I didn't know how they would take to you. Actually you are a lot like his best friend. He is out of town this weekend, but I really would like you to meet him. I know Brie misses you and I kind of miss you, too."

"Kind of? Girl, don't lie to yourself. Your life is nothing without me."

Rachel chuckled. "If you say so. I will try to get him to come to the show next week and you can meet him then. I mean you are the one that makes me look fantastic every night. I'm surprised it has taken you this long to call me and complain about not meeting him yet."

"Seriously Rach, I miss seeing you outside the events and your show. I may be your stylist, but I am also your friend. You are my best friend and I miss you. I don't know if I like that man of yours already just because he has been taking you from me."

"Oh Sanny. I will always be your best friend. I'm sorry I have put you on the backburner. We will do something next week I promise. I would really like for you to meet him. I really do believe you will like him."

"If you say so. I will let you go. I just wanted to let you know that I miss you a lot."

"I miss you, too. I'll talk to you soon."

"Okay. Bye Berry."

"Bye Sanny."

Rachel went back to the living room to wake the kids to get ready for bed. She felt like she was where she needed to be, but she couldn't stop herself from imagining a life in the future with Finn beside her helping and maybe another baby or two. She knew she was getting ahead of herself, but there were just those people that come into your life for a real purpose and Finn Hudson was one of those people. To Rachel Berry, his purpose was to make up for all of the years that she had gone through so much alone. He just showed that all men were not the same. He was special and she had no plan of letting him go anytime soon if she could do anything about it.

After Rachel had put the kids to bed and she thought they were asleep they sat up in bed. Briella told Dayton, "My mommy really likes your daddy."

Dayton replied, "My daddy really likes your mommy."

"I hope they get married. I really want a daddy. Will you share with me?"

Dayton smiled. "You are my best friend. I'll always share with you. I really want a mommy. Will you share yours with me?"

"Yeah! I can't wait for your daddy to get back."

"I know. I miss him. He used to always take me with him when he went places for his job. I'm glad I didn't have to leave you though."

"I'm glad you didn't leave either."

"Do you ever think you will be my sister?"

"I hope so. I want my best friend to be my brother."

"That would be so cool. Then we could be a real family. I always wanted a sister. Maybe we could have a little brother someday."

"I want a little sister though."

"One of each!"

Briella hugged Dayton and said, "Night Day Day!"

Dayton smiled. "Night Brie." The two of them then went to sleep thinking about the same thing. How much they wanted the parent that they had never had in life. Both of them wanted nothing more than to have Finn and Rachel get married.
