Rachel had to be pulled away from Finn when they got to the hospital. She fell into Puck's arms in complete sobs. She said, "Nothing can happen to him! We are getting married in ten days. We are going on our honeymoon. My show premieres the week after that. There is too much going on in our lives for this to be happening right now. We have the kids to worry about."

Puck held her. He told her, "Hudson isn't going to let anything stop him from marrying you. He is in love with you more than you know. That is all me and the rest of the guys hear about all day. He loves those kids, too. He is going to get through this. It's probably just a concussion. He'll be good as new in a couple of days and be more than ready to marry you. He is already feeling that way now."

"I just don't know if I can handle this."

"It comes with the territory. It doesn't happen all the time. Finn was just trying to make you and the kids proud of him. He went for it and there was no one behind him to back him up. I should have been there with him. He just took off running and I couldn't catch up. I really tried to get to him to have his back."

"It isn't your fault. It is the fault of that barbarian that clobbered him."

"Sometimes it is just part of the game, princess. He is going to be okay. I know Finn and he is going to pull through."

Puck had tears in his own eyes as he held Rachel. He had seen the guy tackle Finn and it wasn't going to be an easy recovery for him. That was the hardest tackle he had ever seen on the field and he had been playing football for a long time.

A doctor came out and said, "Excuse me? Are you here for Mr. Hudson?"

Rachel straightened up and said, "Yes. I'm his fiancée."

The doctor told her, "He has a bad concussion and a broken arm. He is going to be okay. As soon as he came to he asked for Rachel. I'm assuming that is you."

Rachel nodded. "Yes, that's me. Can I go see him?"

"Of course. He is going to have a headache for a while. We are going to keep him overnight for observation. He will be in the cast for a couple of weeks. He is going to be very sore for a couple of days and may need some help around the house. Nothing too big. There is no need to worry. He will make a full recovery. I can assure you of that."

"Thank you so much doctor." The doctor left them.

Puck told her, "Go see Finn. I'll wait for Q and the kids to get here. Then we'll bring them in to see him. I'm sure Day is about to have a breakdown not knowing about his dad."

Rachel hugged him again. "Thank you Noah. I really appreciate all you have done for me."

"I got your back Berry. You are one of us now. We don't let each other down. Now, go see your man. I'll bring the kids in when they get here and you have had some time with him."

Rachel went off down the hall.

Rachel knocked on the door.

Finn groggily said, "Come in."

Finn's head was pounding. He forgot how much a concussion hurt. He had gotten one in high school after a car accident. They were not his favorite. He had his eyes closed when he felt someone take his hand.

He opened his eyes and said, "Hey baby."

Rachel sniffled and said, "You scared me to death. The way you were just laying there I thought you were dead. We aren't even married yet. I didn't know how I was going to make it through life without you. Don't ever do that to me again." She burst into full blown tears again.

Finn squeezed her hand and told her, "I'm sorry, baby. I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere. You aren't going to get rid of me that easy. I am going to be here the rest of our lives."

"I'm sorry. I was just so scared. I didn't know what to do. I rode with you to the hospital in the ambulance and you were still out of it. I was afraid you weren't going to wake up. I don't think I could handle that. Noah really helped me though."

"I'll have to thank him for being there for my girl."

"The kids are with Quinn. They are worried about you. None of us knew what was going on and there was nothing I could tell them. Dayton looked like someone had stolen his favorite toy when he saw you go down."

"That was the hardest hit I have ever taken. I just wanted to win and make you guys proud of me more than anything."

"Finn Hudson, we are always proud of you. Whether you win or lose, we will always love and be proud of you."

"Good. So, I'm stuck here overnight."

"Yes you are. I am going to take off this week to stay home with you. I want to make sure that you are okay. I'll just take the next two weeks off."

"You don't have to do that."

"I know. I want to. Now I want to be with you every chance I can get."

"I'm not going to fight you. I love all the time I can get with you and the kids. We are going to be married next week!"

Rachel smiled. "We are. I'm going to be off work for two weeks. I'm taking off a day before the wedding to get things set up. Then we are off for the honeymoon. So next week I'll be working three days."

"I'm sorry I'm making you miss so much work."

"You aren't making me do anything. I just want to help where I can. We are going to be together the rest of our lives and I want us to be able to count on each other."

"I know I can always count on you, baby. You are one of the best things to ever happen to me."

"I feel the same way about you, Finny."

The door flew open and the two of them looked over to see Dayton and Briella come running in with tears in their eyes. Briella automatically came over to Rachel for her to hold her. Dayton jumped on the bed and wrapped his arms around Finn. He had tears rolling down his cheeks.

Dayton said, "Daddy, I thought you were going to leave me like mom did. You fell really hard and I was scared."

Finn cringed. Not just because of the pain from the intense hug from his son, but also from the fact that he had scared him so badly. Finn told him, "Careful buddy. I'm really sore. I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere. I'll never leave you. I love you too much for that. I'm sorry I scared you. That guy was pretty big, huh?"

Dayton let go of him and moved to where he wasn't hurting him. He said, "The biggest! He was bigger than you and you are the biggest guy I know!"

Finn laughed. "See, I'm okay. I'm just going to be sore for a while. You are going to have to help me and Rachel around the house for a while. I'm going to be in a cast for six weeks."

"Can I sign it?"

Finn smiled. "Of course little dude. When the nurse comes in I'll ask her for a Sharpie."

Briella was still clinging to Rachel. She couldn't take her eyes off of Finn. It was like she thought he was going to disappear. Rachel asked, "Do you want to go see Finn, honey?"

Briella just shook her head and held Rachel tighter. Finn looked up and asked, "What's the matter, Brie? Come see me."

Briella shook her head. Then she said, "I thought you were going to die, daddy. You are the only daddy I ever had and I don't want you to die."

Finn said, "Come here, munchkin."

Reluctantly she walked towards his bed not wanting to get too close. He told her, "Come up here with me and Day." She carefully sat on the bed. He cringed as he sat up in the bed. He had each of the kids sit on a side of him. He kissed each of their heads as he wrapped his arms around them. He said, "I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere. I would never leave you guys. I'm so glad you see me as your dad. I just hope I am a good one. I'm going to be just fine. Okay?"

Briella looked up at him and managed a smile. She said, "I like your lime green cast."

Finn laughed. "I thought you might. I know how much you and Day like the color green. It may not go well with the tux though."

Rachel chuckled and said, "I think we can manage. All that matters is that you are okay."

Puck and Quinn stuck their heads in the room. Puck asked, "Is it safe to come in?"

Finn said, "Come in."

Quinn was holding Elle to her chest. She smiled when she saw that Finn was sitting up with both of the kids in his arms. She said, "It is good to see you with your eyes open. You gave us all quite the scare. I called your mom and Burt. They were watching the game and were freaking out. I called Kurt, too. I know how he can get."

Finn told her, "Thank you so much. I really appreciate it."

Puck asked, "How are you holding up, man?"

"I'm okay. It hurt like heck though. I feel like I was run over by a train."

"That dude was huge. You were lucky a concussion and a broken arm. He could have done more damage than that if he had hit you in the right place."

"But he didn't. I'm lucky. I just can't wait to get out of here. I hate hospitals. I just want to be at home lying on my couch if I have to be lying anywhere."

Rachel said, "You and the couch are going to become very acquainted this week."

"Okay, wifey. Anything you say."

Rachel rolled her eyes while everyone else laughed. She couldn't help but then laugh with everyone else because she liked the title that she would be getting in a little over a week.

The group spent time talking and ignoring the fact that they were in a hospital. They were just happy that Finn was okay. Kurt and Blaine showed up to check on Finn, as did most of the football team. It wasn't a secret that so many people cared about Finn. Rachel was glad that she was going to be marrying a man that was cared for by so many. It just showed her that he was a good man and would treat her well. That was all she wanted.
