Thank you so much for the reviews that I have been receiving. I love them all. Thank you for taking the time to keep up with this story. I would love to hear your thoughts though. I'll update the next chapter with ten reviews. :) I hope you enjoy this chapter and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Finn went in to wake Rachel. She was looking forward to showing her around the little town he had called home for close to the first 18 years of his life. He would have the day with two things that were important to him. He knew it was going to be a good day.

Rachel woke up and smiled when she saw Finn. She said, "Hey babe."

"Hey you. Get out of bed. I have a big day planned of showing you around Lima."

Rachel laughed. "You are so excited. I love it. I can't wait to see where you grew up."

"I'm going to try to make it as interesting as I possibly can. It is a small town, especially when you are used to New York."

"I'm sure it is wonderful."

"It is even better now that you are here. Lets go have breakfast and then we will see what we can find in tiny Lima."

Rachel leaned up to kiss him. She couldn't wait to see what the day had in store for them.

Rachel and Finn were in Finn's old truck that Burt kept working just for visits. He knew how much it meant to Finn and it was always there when he got home.

Rachel reached over and took his hand. She told him, "This is nice. Lima is so cute. I can see why you love it so much. It will be nice to bring the kids back here for a break from the city. It is so relaxing."

Finn smiled. "I'm glad you are enjoying yourself."

Rachel looked up, "Where are we now?"

"This is McKinley. This is my high school. I want to show you what started the whole career of Finn Hudson."

Rachel smiled. "There are so many people would die for a tour like this."

"Well, you are the only one that is going to get it. Actually, this was where I was going to ask you to marry me. It isn't anything grand, but it is a place that is important to me. I thought it could be important to both of us."

Rachel wiped a tear from her eye. "That would have been perfect. I love you and it doesn't matter how you asked me. I get to marry you and that is what matters."

Finn told her, "I want to get Brie something special when I marry you. I thought it would be a good thing."

"Honey, you don't have to do that. She loves you. She doesn't need a present to prove it."

"I know. I just want her to have something special on the day I marry you."

"I want to do something special for Dayton, too. I just don't know what to do for him."

"He has been dying to get a watch since they have been teaching them how to tell time."

"Oh! That would be perfect."

"I see how it is. I help you with a gift for Day, but I can't get anything out of you for Brie. Nice."

"How about a little bracelet? She loves to wear my jewelry. I won't let her have anything of her own just yet, but I think it would be perfect for her to get her first real piece of jewelry from you."

"That would be so special. We will have to look for something for the two of them. I am so glad I have you in my life."

"I'm really glad I have all of you in my life."

"I have so many other things to show you. Let's keep going with our tour."

"I would like that." Finn took Rachel's hand and showed her around the rest of the high school before heading to their next destination.

Finn took Rachel's hand once they got out of his old truck. They were in a cemetery. Rachel looked up at him and said, "A cemetery? Is this supposed to be romantic, because I find it to be pretty morbid, honey?"

Finn told her, "I told you I was going to show you all the places important to me. This is where my dad is buried."

"Oh Finn. I'm sorry."

"Don't be, babe. I still have to tell you about it."

"I'm all ears."

The two of them sat down in front of a headstone. He said, "This is my father, Christopher Hudson. He was in the military. He died when I was just a baby. I didn't get to know him at all. I didn't have a father figure until I was a sophomore in high school when my mom married Burt."

"Oh baby."

"He died in Cincinnati. Come to find out he didn't die overseas like I had believed for so long. He had a drug problem that took over his life. He was kicked out of the military. He would go missing for days at a time. No one knew where he went. When I was just a few months old he went missing. They found that he had overdosed in Cincinnati."

"Oh Finny. I'm so sorry."

"I would have liked to know my dad, but you can't really miss someone you didn't know. He wasn't the hero that I always thought he was. He was just a man with some serious problems. I may not have met him, but I learned from him. I learned that the actions you take effect all of the ones around you, even when you don't realize it. I have never smoked or drank because I didn't want what happened to him to happen to me. I wanted to be a good father to my son. I didn't want to miss out on anything when it came to his life. I wanted him to always have me to go to when he needed someone most."

Rachel leaned over and kissed his cheek. "I'm so sorry you went through all of that, but I'm glad it helped you become the amazing man you are today. I don't know what I would do without you in my life now. I love you so much. I'm so glad my children are going to have you as a father. I can't think of a better man for the job."

"I couldn't find a better mother for my children. Macie may have broken my heart at the time, but she was just a stepping stone to finding you. I wouldn't change or trade Dayton for anything."

Rachel smiled. "I feel the same way about Jesse. I wouldn't change a hair on Briella's head. Her father may have been the world's biggest jerk, but she is still my perfect little angel."

"Rach, I can't wait for February. I want you to be my wife more than anything in the world. I just want to know that you are all mine and have our family be a completely functional family."

"I feel the same way."

"Okay. Enough of this sad stuff I want to take you to my favorite restaurant. No matter when I go in life, Breadstix will always be my favorite. You have to experience it."

Rachel laughed. "It would be my honor to accompany you there."

Finn smiled as the two of you got to their feet. They walked back to his truck holding hands and experiencing so much happiness. It was so much more than they ever thought would come their way.

Finn and Rachel were sitting at Breadstix. The two of them were lost in themselves. They couldn't have been happier.

A man came over and said, "Finn Hudson! Why haven't I heard from you recently? You told me you were going to keep in touch."

Finn stood up and hugged the man. He said, "I'm sorry. Things have been pretty busy this season and Dayton always has me on my toes. It's hard to find any me time and most of my me time is spent with my lovely lady."

Rachel just smiled at the two. The man stuck out his hand and said, "Hello. I'm Will Shuester."

Finn said, "Oh! I'm sorry. Rachel, this is Mr. Shue. He was my Spanish teacher and Glee coach in high school."

Rachel shook his hand and said, "I'm Rachel Berry. It's very nice to meet you."

Finn told Mr. Shuester, "Mr. Shue, this is my fiancée. She is a big Broadway superstar."

Rachel rolled her eyes, "That is not true. I'm not that special. I have had a couple of roles, but I'm not well known or anything. Finn just thinks I am. It is very nice to meet you, Mr. Shuester."

Will said, "Call me Will or Mr. Shue. Everyone does. Congratulations on the engagement. When is the wedding? I'm so happy Finn has found someone finally."

Finn told him, "We are getting married Valentine's Day. I would love for you and Emma to come. Are there any baby Shues that I don't know about?"

Will smiled. "Actually we had a little girl about three months ago. Her name is Abby."

"Congratulations. I'm so happy for the two of you. It's amazing, isn't it?"

"It really is. Finn, I'm so proud of the man you have become. I always knew you would make it. Dayton is a very lucky little boy to have a dad that loves him so much."

"Thank you. I really appreciate it. I know it would probably be a hard trip to make with the little girl, but I would really like for you and Mrs. Shue to be at the wedding. Other than Burt, you are the only other guy that I have had as a role model in my life."

"I don't know about Emma and Abby, but I will be at your wedding. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I actually have to get home. I'm so glad I ran into you. Just so you know I don't miss a game. I always cheer on my favorite Giant."

Finn laughed. "I'll make sure to tell Puck that I am your favorite."

Will chuckled. "Oh dear. If you could keep that between the two of us that would be wonderful."

"Your secret is safe with me."

"Good. Don't be such a stranger. I would love to see the little guy."

"I promise it won't happen again. I'll keep in touch more."

"Good. Have a good evening. It was nice to meet you, Rachel."

Rachel smiled. "It was nice to meet you, Mr. Shuester." They all said goodbye.

Rachel told Finn, "He is very nice."

"Oh yeah. Mr. Shue is the best. He tricked me into getting in the Glee club, but then it turned out to be one of the best things to happen to me. I really think being part of it helped me become who I am. I don't know what I would be doing if it hadn't been for him believing in me. It was low down that he tricked me into joining, but I got really close to him and it all worked out."

"How did he trick you into joining?"

Finn chuckled. "He planted drugs in my locker and said he was going to turn me in. I thought they were Puck's so I took the blame."

Rachel couldn't contain her laughter. "That is awful."

"I know, but it ended up working out for me in the end. Puck and Quinn joined after that. Puck was a trouble maker in high school, much like he is now. I really do think that Mr. Shue kept him from going into jail. He is a really great guy."

"It seems he is. I'm glad you had someone like him in your life."

"I am, too. I think you have seen all the important things. Are you ready to go back home to the kids?"

"I am. I really missed them today."

Finn smiled. "I know what you mean. Let's get the bill and we can get back to them."

"That sounds lovely." Finn and Rachel paid their bill and they were on their way back to the Hummel house.

Finn and Rachel walked in the house. They heard the sound of running feet and they knew to prepare themselves. They just smiled as they were tackled by their children. Rachel said, "Finn, I think they missed us a little bit today."

Briella hugged Rachel and said, "I missed you so much."

"Did you not have a good time today?"

"It was really fun. I like Burt and Carole. I just really missed you."

"Oh honey. I'm here now."

Finn asked, "Did you have a good time, Day?"

"Yeah! Nana and pops took us for ice cream. We watched movies. It was fun. I still missed you and Rachel though."

"Well, we are here now. The two of you need to go to bed now, but we are yours tomorrow before we have to go back to the city the next day."

Briella and Dayton continued to hug them. Finn and Rachel didn't know what had gotten into their children, but they weren't about to complain. They took their children to bed after getting them settled. Then they found themselves watching a movie while cuddling on the couch. They didn't know that Burt and Carole had come to the door and couldn't take their eyes off the couple. They knew that they were perfect for each other. The two older adults knew they were in it for the long haul.
