Originally i had forgotten to write this chapter so I finished it in a hurry last night. I hope it isn't too awful. Thank you for sticking with me and giving me feedback. I love it all. Enjoy! Review and let me know what you think.

Finn and Tanner were standing outside the locker room. Finn was fuming. He couldn't believe that one of his own teammates would do this to him. His wife was devastated and worried that he was going to leave her. Anyone with eyes could see that that wouldn't happen in a million years. He loved the woman more than any amount of words could describe. She was it for him.

Tanner stood in front of Finn and asked, "What do you want?"

Finn huffed. "What do I want? I want you to drop that nasty girlfriend of yours. You along with all the other guys on the team have heard about how terrible she was to Day and me. Now you just bring her back into all of this."

"Dude, come on. You know better than anyone that I can't find a girl. I finally find one that likes me and then you tell me that I can't see her. You are not my father or my brother. You can't tell me who to date."

"Tanner, come on! My kid is involved. His mother left him on my doorstep with a note and a ring of the doorbell. By the time I got to the door she was speeding away. How messed up is this whole situation of her wanting to come back now? Do you really think that she came across you by accident? She probably saw that you were the only guy on the team that would date her and decided to make her move in hopes of trying to get to me and Dayton."

"Gee thanks for the vote of confidence. It means the world to me that you feel that way about me."

"It isn't you. It's her! I'm watching out for my kid like I have for the last six years! He is my number one priority. I am not going to let anyone hurt him. He thinks the world of you and the rest of the guys on the team. You are his unrelated uncles. I trusted all of you to look after him and to care for him with me. Then you bring his deadbeat mother into the mix. I can't even look at you right now. I thought all of you guys were my best friends, but I guess I was wrong. My best friend wouldn't hurt me this much."

"Finn, come on. I need a lady in my life. I can't spend all my time being the third, fifth, seventh, or so on wheel in everyone's relationships. Macie is amazing. She loves me."

"How long have you known her? Two minutes?"

Tanner mumbled, "Two weeks."

"Two weeks! You have got to be kidding me. She is evil. She is out to ruin the best relationship I have ever had. Rachel and I are doing really good. I'm not about to stand back and let her ruin it. She threatened my pregnant wife. Do you think that sounds like an amazing woman? That is not what I would find to be amazing. She could have hurt Rachel or our baby, possibly both."

"I don't see why you are so worked up. They are just hormonal women. They fight over the littlest things anyway. Rachel is probably just over emotional and feels threatened by Macie. I doubt there was really anything said."

"My wife and Quinn are not liars. I can't believe you would believe someone that has been in your life for two weeks over someone you have known for years. This is ridiculous. I didn't think you were this stupid. Get her to stay away from the girlfriends/wives lunches."

"She just called and told me how good of a time she had other than Quinn punching her in the face. She felt included for once in her life. I'm not about to take that away from her."

"Fine. Don't expect to ever see me, Dayton, Brie, Rachel or the new baby. I'm not going to subject them to Macie and her crazy. Rachel is going to be nowhere near you and your crazy girlfriend. Let me know when you drop that because then we can have a talk again. I would love to hear what she says when she realizes that she is never going to get an eye on me or my family while dating you."

Finn walked away in a fury. He couldn't believe that five years went to waste in that friendship just because of Macie. Rachel, Dayton, Brie and Drew were his top priorities now and that is how it was going to stay.


Puck and Finn were sitting in one of their hotel rooms playing Xbox and eating ordered out pizza. This was when they missed their wives and kids the most.

Puck asked Finn, "How did the chat go with Tanner earlier?"

"I wanted to beat the crap out of him. He thinks that Macie hung the moon and isn't only with him to get to me and Dayton. He wouldn't believe that she threatened Rachel. Rach wouldn't lie about something about that."

"Of course she wouldn't. My girl has changed a lot since high school. She wouldn't punch someone in the face just for no reason. She had to have thought that someone she cared about was in danger. That is one thing about Q. She is a protector."

"That is why I feel at ease when I'm gone because I know Quinn will look out for Rachel, Day and Brie."

"Q loves Rachel. The two of them have really worked things out and I'm glad to see it. It makes it so much easier for us. I was worried I'd never get to see you because of all the girls' drama."

"I'm glad they figured things out. They are happy and we are happy. Now just to wait for the newest munchkin to join our messed up family."

Puck snorted. "You got that right. We have a legit little group. You guys are the family that I always wanted. Growing up I didn't have much of this. I had my little sis, but that was it. My dad was a deadbeat and my mom worked her butt off to provide for us. You are my bro. I don't know what I would do without you."

"Now you are just getting sappy on me. You don't have to find out. It is always going to be the two of us no matter what happens. You better not ever go away. My kids have to have their Uncle Puck to get them in trouble every once in a while. Just don't tell Rachel that I told you that."

"Just let it go. I do have a heart, man."

Finn laughed. "I know that. I have seen you with your daughter and my kids for that matter."

"Yeah. Yeah. Just let it go."

"I'm so glad we are doing this together man. It makes it better."

"I know what you mean. It's awesome to be able to work with my best friend. I wouldn't have any different."

"Glad to hear it."

"Okay, enough of the girly emotions stuff. Let's get back to the game. We'll be back to our girls soon enough to have to deal with the emotions stuff."

Finn rolled his eyes and didn't argue with him. It was amazing that the two of them had talked about their feelings for as long as they did. They deserved the Xbox break from reality. So that was what the pair did the rest of the evening.
