Here you go. I just wanted to upload another. I would love to hear your thoughts. I have up to chapter 41 written and now I'm stuck. I hope you enjoy this and let me know what you think. I love ideas and I would be more than happy to use them where and if I can. So here is the next chapter. I know this isn't when their birthdays would be, but this is where they fit in the story. Enjoy!

It was two in the morning. It was Rachel's birthday and the day that Finn was getting back. She had just gotten to sleep. Then she heard footsteps and her mother's intuition jumped into action. Her eyes opened and she saw Dayton and Briella standing at her door. She asked, "What is the matter, guys?"

Dayton told her, "I had a bad dream. Now I can't sleep."

Briella said, "He woke me up coming to see you. I didn't want to be left out."

Rachel chuckled. She loved that the two of them were so close. She said, "Come on in and climb in bed with me. There is room for both of you." The two of them ran in the room and jumped into bed. Each of them kissed her stomach and then her cheek before curling up to her sides. Truth be told she loved having the two of them close. She had been so lonely with Finn gone and she was happy that he would be home when they woke up in the morning.

Finn tried to walk in quietly to his bedroom when he got home. He planned to crawl in bed with Rachel for another hour before they got the kids up and ready for school. He couldn't wait to have his wife in his arms again and see his daughter growing within her.

Finn walked in the room and was surprised when he saw Rachel sleeping with both kids on her side. She looked as if she was holding them like they were going to disappear.

He walked over to her side of the bed and kissed her head. She woke up and said, "Hey you."

He chuckled. "Hey to you. What are the kids doing in our bed?"

Rachel smiled. "Day had a nightmare. Brie heard him coming in here and didn't want to be left out. They crawled in with me about two."

"Do you think there is enough room for daddy to join? I would love to be involved in this little family moment."

Rachel laughed. "I think we can manage. Get your butt in bed with us. We missed you. Then you have a birthday surprise for me and I have one for you since I missed your birthday yesterday."

Finn patted her stomach. "My surprise is coming in two and a half months. I don't need anything else. I just want the four of you to be happy and healthy."

"Well, too bad. You are getting something else and you are going to like it."

Finn smiled. "I'm sure I will." He kissed her head and got in bed with them. He couldn't think of much more of a perfect moment than having Drew with them in person.

Finn and Rachel had dropped the kids off at school. They were driving around. Finn looked over at Rachel and said, "You are beautiful."

"You are just saying that because I'm getting fat because of you."

"No I'm not. I will always think you are beautiful. I love you so much. I'm so glad to be home to you and the kids."

"We are glad to have you back."

Rachel rubbed her stomach. "This one has missed her daddy talking to her every night. She would kick me about the same time you normally tell her good night like she was waiting for it."

"Aww… I'm here for the week and she will get her fill of me again. Did I leave you enough of the things you normally crave?"

Rachel laughed. "Yes. You took such good care of me. I'm glad you are home though. I think we need to stock back up though."

"Dang momma."

"Don't blame me. It's all your daughter. She has your appetite."

Finn laughed. "I'm sorry, babe."

"I didn't mean it. I love you and our little miracle."

"That's how I feel, too. Happy birthday, babe."

"Thanks, Finny. I hate that we couldn't be together for your birthday yesterday."

"We are together now and that is what matters. I'm going to give you a special day."

"What is the plan?"

"I'm going to take you to your favorite vegan restaurant. Then I'm going to take you shopping for new clothes because you have been hinting around for a while that you need some more."

Rachel smiled. "That sounds lovely. Then tonight I'll give you what I have planned."

Finn took her hand and said, "I can't wait. I love that I am going to have a wonderful day with my beautiful wife. I can't think of many more things I would rather be doing with my day."

Rachel squeezed his hand as they continued driving.

Rachel and Finn got home. She told Finn, "Go take a shower. I'll get your present ready."

"Don't we have to go pick up the kids?"

Rachel smiled. "Nope. That is part one of your present. The kids are staying with Kurt and Blaine at least for the evening, if not the night."

Finn smiled his trademark smile. "Oh."

Rachel rolled her eyes. "Stop that. Go take your shower." Finn kissed her head and went to take a shower.

Rachel got in the refrigerator got out the things she had premade for the evening. She was making Finn a romantic dinner. She couldn't wait to share a nice evening with the man that she loves.

Finn walks out of the bathroom to see a candle lit dinner. Rachel was standing by the table and said, "Happy birthday, Finny."

Finn smiled and told her, "It looks and smells awesome babe."

"Thank you. Come eat. Your daughter is hungry and so is your wife."

Finn chuckled and came over to kiss her. The two of them sat down to eat dinner. They started eating and Rachel said, "I'm so proud of you. You guys did awesome yesterday. The kids were bouncing off the walls all night after seeing you win your game."

"It was pure luck that we won. I just wish you and the kids could go with me. It is going to be even harder to leave once Drew gets here. I'm never going to want to leave."

"Oh, honey. We won't want you to leave either."

"You look stunning tonight. You always do. You have a beautiful glow."

"It is all your fault."

"I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you the other day when your dads popped up."

"The kids took care of me. You would have been so proud. They stood up for me like it was their job."

"I told them to keep an eye on you while I was gone. It seems they did their job."

Rachel rolled her eyes. "Finn Hudson! I am 24 years old. They are five. They shouldn't feel like they need to protect me. It is my job to protect them."

"You have enough on your plate right now with the pregnancy."

"No, don't go there. I always have to worry about them. They are my children. It doesn't matter if I am pregnant or not."

"You need to relax, sweetheart."

"I don't have time to relax."

"Don't make me make you relax. You know I will. I don't want anything to happen to you and Drew because of the stress that you are under. I would blame myself for not being here."

"You are doing all that you can. I know that and the kids know that, too."

Finn took her hand. "You are amazing. Let's finish this awesome dinner."

Finn and Rachel spent the rest of the evening having some much needed alone time. They got to talk about adult things that they tried to stay away from when the kids were there. They got to just be close without having some kind of interruption. It was refreshing for the two of them, but they still couldn't stop missing their children. They really were their lives and they wouldn't change it.
