Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy this chapter. I'm sorry for the lack of Caylie, but she'll be a big part of the next chapter. I've been asked how long this story will go, and I've decided that it will end with the last Glee wedding. I'm planning on posting the first chapter of my story that's a crossover between Emma's world and Allie's world soon, and I have another story idea, too, though I may not start that one until I finish this one or the crossover (whichever I finish first).
Nominations in the Glee fanfic awards are open until the 30th, so I'd appreciate any! Hope you enjoy this chapter and review if you want me to continue :)
Chapter 39: Can't Get Away
November had been going well for the Hudson family. Finn and Rachel had been adjusting pretty well to having two children. Allie was trying to help out when she could.
Today Finn was going back to work. He didn't want to leave Rachel and Caylie at home, but having a baby did mean more bills, and their savings and the help they got from their parents couldn't keep them going forever. Luckily, today and tomorrow were the only days he'd be working this week since they'd had the rest of the week off for Thanksgiving. Allie said goodbye to her dad and then went into her classroom to find a big disappointment.
She was upset because the teacher had just changed their desks and Allie was now sitting next to one girl in her class who she hated, Paige Collins. Paige's father was a US Congressman, and Paige was always talking about how much money her family had, all the cool events they got to go to and all the toys her dad got her. She also thought she was really cool because she was the only girl in their class with red hair. Paige had recently begun picking on Allie.
"Hi Allie," Paige said as Allie sat down.
"Hi Paige," Allie groaned.
"Guess what!" Paige said.
"What?" Allie asked.
"I got to meet my favorite actress," Paige bragged.
Allie groaned.
Paige's best friend, Josie, came in. Allie didn't like Josie either. Unfortunately, Josie was sitting on Allie's other side.
"You met her?" Josie asked.
"Yeah!" Paige said. "She said she liked my skirt."
"You think you're so great just because your dad works in DC," Allie said to Paige. She couldn't help herself.
"Well, you don't have anyone special in your family," Paige said.
"My mom's on Broadway!" Allie said. She didn't mention that her mom was taking a break from Broadway to be with Caylie.
"I thought your mom had a baby," Josie said.
Allie didn't say anything. She just took out her books and pretended to read. She wished she sat with one of her friends.

At lunch that day, Allie sat down with Mia, Gracie, Abby and Savannah. It was nice to get to sit with her friends after sitting with the girls she didn't like in class.
"Ew, you have to sit with Paige and Josie in class," said Abby.
"I know," Allie said.
"My parents said New York's better than DC anyway," Gracie said.
"New York's the best city ever!" Allie said.
"Look at my new doll!" a loud voice said. The girls groaned when they saw Paige. Paige was showing Josie and a girl named Cecilia a doll she had.
"We can't bring toys from home to school," Allie said as Paige and her friends passed the table.
"You just wish you had a doll like this," Paige said. "See, this doll looks just like me. She even has my birthmark."
"I like my American Girl dolls," Allie said.
"Those are stupid!" Paige said.
"That doll is weird looking," Gracie retorted.
"Shut up," Paige said.
"Don't be mean to my friend!" Allie said.
"My parents said that your parents shouldn't be parents," Paige said.
"Allie's parents are nice," Abby said.
"My mom said they're too young," Paige said. "Your mom's a bad singer and your dad was a bad teacher."
Paige had been mean to Allie a lot lately and Allie did her best to ignore it, but saying mean things about her parents did it. She grabbed Paige's doll and threw it on the ground.
"You can't do that!" Paige shouted as she shoved Allie's lunch tray in her face. "That doll cost three hundred dollars."
"Don't say mean things about your parents!" Allie shouted back as she slapped Paige. Paige slapped Allie back when the lunch monitor came over.
"I hate you Allie!" Paige shouted.
"I hate you too!" Allie said.
"You two come with me to the principal's office!" the lunch monitor said.
"She was being mean to me," Allie said, trying to defend herself.
"Well, my dad can get the president to tell you to leave my school!" Paige said.
"Allie's a good kid," the lunch monitor said as he led the two girls into the principal's office.
"Allie threw my doll on the floor!" Paige said to the principal.
"You called my parents mean things!" Allie said back.
"What happened?" the principal asked.
"I was showing my doll to Josie and Cecilia, and Allie and her friends were being stupid," Paige said.
"I just told Paige I like my dolls and then she started saying mean things to me," Allie said.
"Allie, did you throw Paige's doll on the floor?" the principal asked.
"Yes," Allie admitted. "But then she threw my food at me."
"Girls, what you did wasn't right," the principal said.
Allie looked at Paige. "I'm sorry."
Paige made a face at Allie. "I'm not."
Just then, Finn came into the office. "Here's my attendance records - " Then he noticed who was there. "Allie, what are you doing here?"
"Mr. Hudson, Allie threw my doll on the floor!" Paige said.
Finn looked at Allie. "She was being mean to me!"
Paige slapped Allie again. Allie slapped her back. Finn pulled his daughter off the other girl. "Hey!"
"Girls, I think I need to send you both home for the day," the principal said. "I'm calling your moms."
"Allie, want to wait for Mommy in my room?" Finn asked.
Allie looked at Finn. "Yes Daddy."
"You're too tall," Paige laughed.
"Paige, enough!" the principal said.
As Finn and Allie left the office, Finn turned to his daughter. "I didn't like Paige when I had her in her class, but you can't hit other kids."
"I don't like it when people say mean things about you and Mommy!" Allie said.
"Allie, you know that Mommy and I love you, but please don't get in trouble for us," Finn sighed.
"Paige thinks she's better than all of us because her dad's famous and they're rich and she has red hair!" Allie pouted.
"Allie, it's like I said, I don't like Paige either, but you can't let her know that," Finn said.
"You told me you don't like Paige!" Allie said.
"But she can't know that," Finn said. "Now please be quiet when we get to my classroom. The kids are doing a project."
"I'm sorry, Daddy," Allie said. "I didn't want to upset you."
"I love you, Allie," Finn said.
"I love you too," Allie said, hugging her dad.
Rachel arrived shortly after, with Caylie in a stroller. Rachel looked pretty upset when she arrived and turned to Allie as soon as they left. "Allie, what happened?"
"Paige was so mean!" Allie said. "She's been mean to me and she said you're a bad singer and Daddy's a bad teacher!"
"I'm sorry, Allie," Rachel said, trying to hold in her anger. "But really Allie, you need to keep your hands to yourself."
"Daddy told me he doesn't like Paige!" Allie said.
Rachel gave Allie a surprised look. "Daddy shouldn't have said that."
"Caylie wouldn't like Paige either," Allie said.
Caylie smiled at Allie. "See!" Allie declared.
Rachel sighed. "That may be true, but I'm not happy with you for getting sent home from school and fighting with another girl, young lady."
"It won't happen again," Allie said.

"So, what do you think of what happened with Allie and that girl at school?" Finn asked when they were home that night.
"I'm glad she stood up for us, but I'm not happy with how she did it," Rachel said. "I think you and I both learned in high school that hitting is never the answer."
"I couldn't stand that girl when she was in my class last year!" Finn said. "I couldn't stand her mom either. She looked down on me because I was so young."
"I bet her mom said something about us to Allie and that's why she picks on Allie!" Rachel snapped.
"You know, I bet you're right," Rachel said to her husband.
"I am glad Allie loves us though," Finn laughed.
Rachel gave her husband a kiss. "So am I."

A few days later, it was Thanksgiving, and Finn, Rachel, Allie and Caylie went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade with Burt, Carole, Hiram, LeRoy, Shelby and Beth. Kurt, Blaine, Santana and Brittany were at home with their kids, but the whole family would be having dinner together tonight.
"Mommy," Allie whispered after they'd been at the parade for a little while.
"What is it?" Rachel asked.
"That's her," Allie whispered, pointing to a girl with red hair a little while down.
"The girl who said mean things about me and Daddy the other day?" Rachel asked.
Allie nodded.
Rachel groaned. She was tempted to go say something to this girl's parents, but she held it in.
Finn looked at Rachel. "Are you okay?"
Rachel forced a smile. "Yeah."
"Look at that!" Allie said, pointing to a big balloon that went by. Rachel felt relieved that Allie was distracted. Allie was pretty easily distracted, that was one of the good things about being so little.
"Your mom liked that balloon too when she was little," Hiram told Allie.
"Really?" Allie asked.
"I did," Rachel said.
"That's cool," Allie said. "I think Caylie likes it too."
"It's so exciting to have our first Thanksgiving with two kids," Finn said.
"I know!" Allie said.
"Thanks for coming in here," Rachel said to her dads and in laws. "It is harder for me to cook now that I have a baby."
"Oh, I remember that it was hard to cook when Beth was a baby," Shelby said.
"Caylie's so cute!" Beth said.
"She is," Allie agreed.
Caylie pointed up at the balloons. "Aren't those big?" Rachel asked her daughter.
Caylie giggled.
"Mommy, we're making pumpkin pie like I like, right?" Allie asked.
"Of course I am!" Rachel said.
A few more balloons went by, and then a Broadway float came by. "Mommy, you should be on that!" Allie said.
"Yeah, you should be on the Broadway float, Rach," Finn added.
"I'd rather be watching with my family," Rachel said, really meaning it.
"That's her, dad!" a voice said. Rachel turned and saw the red haired girl walking over with her parents.
"Hello, Congressman Collins," Burt said.
"Hello, Congressman Hummel," the girl's dad said. "Are you related to this girl?" He pointed at Allie.
"Yes, that's my granddaughter," Burt said. "May I help you?"
"It appears that your granddaughter threw my daughter's 300 dollar doll on the floor," the man said.
Rachel rolled her eyes. The father was clearly just as bad as the girl.
"Well, from what I heard from my son, your daughter has been picking on my granddaughter lately," Burt said.
"That's because Allie's stupid and ugly!" Paige said.
"You're not nice," Allie said to Paige. She turned to her parents. "Can we go home?"
"I think that would be a good idea," Finn said. He made a face at Paige's dad before they began to leave.
"I can't get away from her!" Allie pouted.
"I'm sorry, sweetheart," Carole said. "She doesn't seem nice."
"She isn't!" Allie said.
"We know," Rachel said. "But you won't have to worry about her when you're home with your family."
"Yay!" Allie said. Rachel smiled at her daughter. She really did have the best family ever.
