I couldn't wait any longer. Thank you for the amazing reviews and getting me to 95. You all are the best. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well. The next chapter is when I will need your help deciding what is going to happen. I'll add it sometime tomorrow. :) Thank you for all the support and love.

It was Halloween. Rachel had been baking all day to ease her worries of meeting Finn's mother. She wanted to make a good impression. She had been dating Finn for two and a half months now and didn't want to mess things up with his mother. Finn would be bringing Dayton and his parents over so that the kids could go trick or treating together.

Briella came in the kitchen in her princess dress. She looked just like a miniature Belle. She spun around and said, "Mommy, am I pretty?"

Rachel gasped and said, "Are you kidding me? You are the most beautiful princess ever. Belle isn't even as pretty as you are. You are going to get all kinds of candy tonight."

Briella smiled. "Is Dayton's grandma and grandpa going to like us?"

"I hope so, baby. I really hope they do. I want them to like us."

"They will like you, mommy. You are the best mommy ever."

"Thanks, baby. Do you want a cookie before everybody gets here?"

Briella nodded and said, "Yes, please."

Rachel gave her a cookie and helped her braid her hair while they waited for Finn, Dayton and his parents.


Finn was standing at the door with everyone. Dayton was bouncing off the walls in his New York Giants football costume. He was being his father for Halloween. Finn thought that was awesome.

Carole said, "I can't wait to meet Rachel. She sounds like a wonderful woman for you. It is about time you found someone that would keep you in check."

Finn sighed, "Mom, try not to embarrass me. I would still like to have a girlfriend by the end of the night."

"Oh stop it. I'm not going to embarrass you. I just want to make sure she is good for you and my grandson. I just wish you guys would let Kurt in. He is freaking out."

Finn told her, "He comes over once a week. It is getting better. I'm not letting him in that quickly."

Burt told him, "He really does feel bad about what he did."

"I know. I'll let him off the hook by Christmas."

Burt laughed. "You are too much, kid."

Rachel finally opened the door. Briella jumped in Finn's arms. He said, "Look at you! You make the most awesome princess ever. You and Day are going to load up tonight."

Briella giggled. The four of them walked in the house. Rachel bit her bottom lip and said, "Hi. I'm Rachel. It is nice to meet the two of you. Dayton and Finn have told us so much about you." She stuck her hand out to shake their hands.

Carole bypassed her hand and took her into a hug. She said, "Honey, it is so wonderful to meet you as well. Dayton and Finn have not been able to stop talking about the two of you. My boys seem to be taken by the two of you girls."

Rachel smiled. "We are taken by your boys as well."

Dayton asked, "Can we go get candy now?"

Finn laughed and told him, "I think we can manage that little man. We are going to go to Uncle Puck and Aunt Q's apartment building. Then we will make our way over to Uncle Kurt and Blaine's apartment. You are going to hit the jackpot tonight. Who wouldn't want to give candy to a pretty princess and my favorite footballer."

Briella and Dayton both laughed.

Burt and Carole walked out with the kids. Finn walked over to Rachel and gave her a hug. Then he kissed her and told her, "You can stop being nervous now. Your little lip nibble that you are so good at gave you away. I love you and that means that mom and Burt will love you, too. We better get out there before they get restless. They really want their candy."

Rachel took Finn's hand and said, "You are amazing. You know what to say in any case. You are just too much."

Finn kissed her head and said, "Baby, I would do anything for you to make you happy. I don't want you to stress out about the little things. You are Rachel Freakin' Berry and you are awesome."

Rachel giggled. "Thank you so much. Let's go." The two of them walked out of the apartment holding hands.


Back at Rachel's house, Briella was asleep in Burt's arms while Dayton was asleep in Finn's. Rachel smiled and said, "She took a very quick liking to the two of you. She normally isn't so easily to make a bond."

Burt told her, "She is absolutely adorable. She is such a tiny little thing. She must get that from you."

"Luckily she didn't get much from her father. The poor thing has never met her father. Finn is more of a dad to her than her dad has ever been. She loves him just about as much as I do."

Finn smiled up at his girl. "You are the only mom Dayton has ever known, too. I'm so glad he has you, Rach."

Rachel leaned down and kissed Finn's head.

Carole put her hand over her heart and said, "Oh dear. The two of you are absolutely adorable. The two of you are meant for each other."

Rachel smiled and said, "Thank you, Carole. I think we are as well."

Finn told them, "I am so glad the two of you have met. I knew you would like each other."

Carole told her son, "You picked a winner here. She is sweet as pie and she knows how to bake a good one. You better keep a hold on this one. You would be stupid to let her go."

"Gee… thanks mom. I don't plan on letting her out of my sight any time soon. I know I got something wonderful here."

"Good. I'm glad to hear it. I am so proud of the man you have become. You deserve happiness. I'm glad to see that you are finally getting what you deserve. I have hoped and prayed for this for years."

"Thanks, ma. We should be going. I need to get my little runt into bed. Begging people for candy all night is a tough job."

Rachel went over to Burt and said, "I can take her. Again, it has been so wonderful to meet the two of you. I hope I can see more of you."

Burt told her, "I don't think we have to worry about that. I see you being around for a long time to come."

"I hope you are right. I look forward to seeing all of you again."

Rachel situated a sleeping Briella on her hip. Finn stood next to her with Dayton in his arms. He leaned down and kissed her full on the mouth. "I love you, babe. I'll see you tomorrow."

"I love you, Finny." Rachel closed the door behind them and went to take Briella to bed.


Finn had gotten Dayton to bed. He went out into his living room to see Burt and Carole smiling back to him. He asked, "Okay. What is the matter with the two of you?"

Carole told him, "Finny, she is perfect. I really hope you keep a hold of her. She is good for you and Dayton. She is just what you need. When can I start planning a wedding?"

"Mom! I have only been dating her for a little over two and a half months. I know I love her and I can see myself marrying her, but not any time soon. I don't want to mess up what we have going on. I want to do everything I can to be there for her and Brie. They are so important to me. I don't think I could handle disappointing or hurting them. They mean the world to me and Dayton."

Burt said, "Son, the two of you are good together. I really like her. She is nice and she cares more for you than even you can see. You have a winner there. I don't think we could ever forgive you if you didn't keep her around for the long haul."

Finn laughed. "It is nice to know that you guys love her more than you love me."

"No. We just like seeing you happy and she does that for you."

"You are right. She really does make me happy. I don't know what I would do without her in my life. I really don't have any intentions of going back to that life. She is special and I'm a lucky man to have her in my life."

Carole said, "Please don't do anything stupid. I don't want you to mess this up. She needs someone just as much as you do. The two of you are just perfect for each other. Your kids are adorable together and it is just perfect."

"Thanks mom. I'm going to go to bed. I'll see the two of you in the morning. Sleep well."

Finn went to bed. He couldn't stop thinking about what his parents had said. It was all true. He couldn't see himself with anyone other than Rachel. She was his best friend and the only person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He could see them having a couple more adorable babies that looked just like them.
