Thank you for the reviews. Next chapter is the last chapter. After that I have a new story and we will see where that goes. I'm pretty sure I'll come back and do a sequel at some point if people are interested in reading it. Thank you for reviews. They really help a lot. Next story will have more drama in it. :)
Finn and Rachel were on stage with the kids waiting for the cue. The kids were nervous and anyone could tell. They were six and were going to be on TV for the first time. You couldn't blame them. Drew was sound asleep in her mother's arms.
The applause came and they prayed that Drew wouldn't wake up and start fussing. Kelly said, "Welcome back. Everyone we are lucky enough to be here with Broadway star, Rachel Hudson, her football star husband, Finn Hudson and their three children, Dayton, Briella and Drew. Thank you for being here today."
Finn said, "It is a pleasure to be here. Thank you for having us."
Rachel said, "I love your show."
Kelly smiled and told them, "You are the most sought after couple in New York. I'm glad that I am the first to get to speak to you. I'm glad you brought your children as well. This is the first time all three of your children have been seen together."
"Yes, Finn and I try to keep Dayton, Briella and Drew out of the limelight. We both had childhoods of normal children and we wish that for our own children."
"I'm sure that is difficult when you are a Tony award winning actress and Finn is a Super Bowl winning quarterback."
"That does make it a little more difficult, but we are making due."
"So, the two of you have a whirlwind romance that the whole world is curious about. Will you share with us?"
Finn said, "I was running late as I am most of the time. Dayton and Briella had become friends so Rachel was awesome enough to watch out for him until I could get there. They just seemed to know that we liked each other. The two of them love each other so it made Rachel and I becoming an item even easier."
Rachel added, "I wouldn't change anything about the last year of my life. I met the man of my dreams and married him. I got to spend a lot of time with my daughter and son. I recently had another daughter. It has been a big year for us Hudsons."
Kelly laughed, "I would say it has been. You also won a Tony. That is a big accomplishment for someone newer to the stage."
"Don't get me wrong. I love my Tony, but my family will always come first."
"That is refreshing to hear. When can we expect to see you back on the Broadway stage?"
Rachel sighed. "Sadly, I won't be going back to the stage any time soon. It isn't in the cards for us right now. I'm going to be taking time off to be a mommy for a while. I feel like this is where my real calling is right now. I don't want to miss out on too much of Day, Brie and Drew's lives while they are still little."
"That is amazing. Congratulations."
"Thank you."
"The two of you are the perfect couple. Are there ever any fights the two of you have like the rest of us?"
Finn chuckled and said, "Oh yeah. We are just your normal couple. We fight over stupid things, but we always find a way back to the way things should be and forgive each other."
"That is wonderful."
Kelly asked Dayton and Briella, "What is your favorite part of your mommy and daddy's jobs?"
Dayton said, "I like that I get to go to a lot of football games. I got to go to more before I had to start school and get smart." Everyone started chuckling.
Briella told the world, "My mommy is the best actress ever. She was a princess. She is better than the real Belle."
Kelly smiled and said, "You were great. My kids and I loved the show."
Rachel smiled, "I really appreciate it. It was hard to leave the stage when I got far enough in my pregnancy, but it was what was best for the family."
Finn said, "I have one amazing woman for a wife that will put up with me and sacrifice so much for our family. I don't know what I would do without her."
Kelly said, "If only more marriages were like yours. I haven't seen a marriage like yours in a long time."
"Thank you. It is taking us a while, but we are doing everything we can to take care of each other."
Rachel said, "My husband is pretty awesome most of the time." Everyone laughed.
Kelly said, "Okay. I heard a little rumor that you won't be returning to the Giants next season. Please tell me that this is not true. New York needs someone like you."
Finn lowered his head and said, "Sadly, it is true. I have been traded to Los Angeles. I am no longer part of the Giants' team. It saddens me because this has been my home since I came here for college. I became part of the team a year after I graduated from high school. Dayton has grown up with all of these guys as his uncles. They are like my brothers. It is going to be difficult to leave them, but it is something that has to be done. I'm just lucky to have my family with me."
"We are really going to miss you. I'll definitely be watching you win for LA. We are losing a great quarterback."
"Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I'm going to miss New York. It is the only home that my children have ever known, it is where I met my wife and it is where I came to get out of a difficult time in my life. Now I am going to be starting a new phase my life."
"I'm sure it is going to be a real adventure."
"I'm sure it will be."
"It looks like our time is up. Thank you to the Hudsons for being on the show with me today. It has been a pleasure to meet you all. Good luck in the future. We can't wait to see what comes from the two of you and your family."
Finn said, "Thank you for having us."
Rachel added, "We really enjoyed ourselves." They cut to a commercial break. Finn and Rachel told Kelly goodbye and got the kids ready to go.
Finn and Rachel were on their way to lunch. Finn said, "I'm so proud of the two of you. You did a great job with your first TV appearance."
Briella told him, "I was nervous."
Dayton added, "So was I."
Rachel turned around and said, "That is okay. I still get nervous with interviews and my shows. It happens sometimes, but the two of you did great."
Briella said, "Thanks mommy."
Finn asked, "Who wants to go to Chuck E Cheese?"
Dayton and Briella both exclaimed, "I do!"
Finn and Rachel laughed. They loved that the two of them were on such a page that they could finish each other's sentences, talk at the same time and got along with almost everything. It made their life so much easier for the parents. They got along so well and Finn and Rachel could only hope that that would last forever.
The family went to Chuck E Cheese and enjoyed the time they got to spend together. They were glad to have each other. If they were going to have to uproot their lives at least they were going together.
