7 hours. 7 deadly hours as Rachel and Finn were nearly on their knees at midnight. The only thing soaked into their ears. Dylan's crying. Her chest rose rapidly as her attempts to put the infant to sleep, failed.
Rachel-I hate saying this, especially to my son, but SHUT UP!
Both their bodies, exhausted on the floor together.
Finn-Couldn't agree more. You have the nonstop talking and he got the non stop crying. Lucky me, I get the best of both worlds.
She sat up in curiosity as Finn hummed the famous tune.
Rachel-Exactly how many episodes of Hannah Montana did you see yesterday?
Finn-I don't know.
His phone buzzed and he took it out of his pockets.
Finn-Dangnabbit. 5 missed calls, all from Puck.
Rachel-Question answered.
She stood up and ran to his crib, sticking her head inside.
Rachel-Hey little baby. You wanna take a little nap.
The baby threw a rattle at her face.
Rachel-Ok no nap…I get it.
Finn crawled up the side of the
crib.
Finn-Hey Dylan.
Dylan cried even louder, making a frown morph onto Finn's face.
Finn-Ok you don't want daddy, you want mommy. Good choice.
He fell to the floor, immediately shutting his eyes.
Rachel-Hell no. You are not staying out of this.
She tugged on his sleeve, pulling him up.
Finn-But Rachel….
The baby threw his toy at Finns cheek.
Finn-He hates me.
Rachel-Hes a baby!
Finn-A baby that wont shut up!
Rachel-Lets calm down and think of how to make him tired.
The slightest touch made him relaxed as she caressed his cheek.
Finn-Well when im upset I think of you.
She smiled and he grinned back.
Rachel-Aww Finn,i love you.
He leaned in for a kiss but then she realized something.
Rachel-That's it.
Finn-What?
Rachel-We'll sing to him.
Finn-What exactly?
Rachel-A lullaby. But not one that has to do with diseases and babies in trees.
Finn-What about that mocking bird stole my diamond thing?
She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Yes, Finn may not be the smartest guy in the world. But thank god she understood what he was hinting to.
Rachel-You mean Hush little baby?
Finn-…sure.
A childish smile appeared on his face as she giggled to herself.
Rachel-We can try that one.
She got up and sang the first verse and Dylan calmed down a bit. Finn loved hearing her voice. It reminded him why he fell in love with her in the first place. After a couple of verses, Dylan was completley passed out and got some shut eye.
Rachel-I think hes asleep.
Finn-Finally! Thank god my wife is a Broadway star.
Rachel-Not technically.
Finn-What about that audition you had?
Rachel-I wasn't the right fit. But i'll tell you that it wasn't because, they thought my audition was too harsh. And it also wasn't because I sneezed every time they put green makeup on me.
He tilted her head and gazed at her.
Finn-Their loss.
He put a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead. She smiled and he brought her on the bed with him.
Finn-Wait, then who got it?
Rachel but her lip with a smile.
Finn-No.
Rachel-Yep. Chloe didn't get Elpheba, but she got Glenda's role. But it doesn't matter. I have everything i need. Right here. And in the crib.
They laughed into each others shoulder, ending up just laying there thinking about each other and the love they shared….oh and Dylan too.
I'm not sure if i wanna add a couple of playful and comedic chapters after this one. Or go straight to the dialogue...HELP! Please Comment.
