The Epilogue! I wish there was more. But sadly, every story has an ending. Takes place probably a year after the recent chapter. Hope you enjoy the last chapter!
Rachel sat in front of the mirror looking at herself. Remembering what had happened in the last 5 years. She moved to New York with the only guy she loved. She had her first legal drink at midnight on her 21st birthday. Importantly, she had Dylan Ryan Hudson on November 26, 2012. Lastly, she got her first lead role in Les Miserables.
And now she was about to put on her first show with her idol Barbra Streisand. This had been a dream come true. A grin appeared on her face and the stage manger called her onto the stage. She took in deep breathes and stood to the side eying Finn holding 3 year old Dylan's hand waving to her from the audience. She gave a little wave and saw Finn mouth "I love you". She mouthed it back and her part came on. Her heels clicked against the wooden boards of the stage and walked to center stage with Barbra. They did a Canon/Duet of her song My Man as they grabbed each others hand.
Barbra-Oh my man I love him so. He'll never know.
Rachel-My life is just despair, but I don't care.
B/R- When he takes me in his arms.
Barbra-The world.
Rachel-Is bright.
B/R-All right.
As Rachel took steps closer to the audience she saw Patti Lapone in the audience giving her 2 thumbs up.
Rachel's heart lit up and noticed it was Kurt that was in the row behind Patti trying to get a picture of her and sweating. The big part was about to come up and Rachel spread her arms out.
Rachel-Oh my man I love him so. He'll never know!
Blaine-Oh my life is just despair but I don't care!
Rachel-Oh when he takes me in his arm, the world is bright.
B/R- All right!
Both of them looked intense as if it was an argument in singing.
Rachel-What's the difference if I say I'll go away.
Barbra-When I know I'll come back on my knees someday.
Rachel-For what ever my man is. I am his.
She winked at Finn, who gave a side grin. Gripping Dylan's hand tighter.
Barbra-Forever.
B/R-More!
As they held that note out both of their hands slowly lifted into the air.
Applause started and Rachel could hear whistles and howls. Her eyes kept close until the last not was done being sung. They stopped and both observed the audience below. It was a standing ovation of millions. Each of her teeth shined bright as excitement and accomplishment streamed through her blood. Barbra Gave her a grand hug and tears of joy escaped her eyes as they both walked offstage. She went to her dresser and made sure she didn't smear mascara. Finn soon arrived backstage with Dylan and he ran towards her then spun her in the air.
Finn-I have never been more proud of you in my life.
He planted his lips on hers and Dylan ran up to her and pulled the bottom of her dress.
Dylan-Mommy's I'm glad for you.
She smiled and knelled to the ground picking him up into a hug.
Rachel-Momma really loves you to Dylan.
Finn grabbed Dylan as soon as Barbra walked towards them.
Barbra-I just wanted to say you were fabulous tonight.
Rachel-Thank you. You were grand tonight as well.
Barbra-Listen Rachel I want you to know something. Never give up on something you love when you hear something negative from someone who isn't positive. Advice that helped me reach my goals.
Rachel quickly nodded. And Barbra patted her shoulder.
Barbra-You're a star...and you need to shine.
As she walked away she felt like fainting. Finn set Dylan down and caught her when she fell.
Rachel-Is this real life?
He laughed and Kurt and Blaine ran up to her all cheery with a camera in Kurt's hand.
Kurt-I got a picture with Patti. With Patti Lapone!
Blaine-I did too.
Kurt-You did?
Blaine-Yes I was on the other side of her.
Kurt took out his camera and looked through the pictures.
Blaine-Kurt! When you took the picture you forgot to include me!
Kurt-Oops….You know, i was never good at angling anyways.
He looked to the corner of his eye. And Blaine folded his arms.
Kurt-Rachel you made me tear up tonight. That was beautiful!
Rachel-Thank you so much guys, this was the best day of my life and i was so ecstatic that each of you were here.
Dylan-I love you mommy.
They all smiled at him and wrapped his arms around her leg.
Rachel-Come here.
They all leaned in for a hug and held each other tight.
(The camera zoomed out, while they released from the hug. People walked in front of the screen as they all walked towards the door hand in hand and the last thing you see is each of their steps towards their future).
