Hi everyone! So here's the promised chapter with a tribute to Cory. I tried to make it as happy as I could, because Cory was such a happy person and I'm sure he'd want a happy chapter in his honor. As I'm sure you can guess, Finn's friend from NYU is named after him, though I did change the spelling. And as much as Cory loved the Canucks, I knew I had to fit them in somehow! Finn's friend named after him will appear more in upcoming chapters.

As always, thanks to all of you for helping me through this very, very difficult time. Simple things, like getting reviews that you enjoyed a chapter I wrote, can really make a difference. Hope you like this chapter and review if you want me to continue!

Chapter 46: Canucks game

"What's a Canuck, anyway?" Allie asked as Rachel helped her into the jersey Finn had gotten her. Finn's friend Corey from NYU had gotten a spot on the Vancouver Canucks, and Finn was going to their game against the New York Islanders with a few friends from NYU. They'd gotten enough tickets for Allie to come as well. The jersey they'd gotten Allie was huge on her, but it was the smallest size the Canucks offered.

"I don't even know," Rachel said. She looked at Finn. "What is a Canuck?"

"It's a slang term for Canadian," Finn said to his wife.

"I see," Rachel said. "Now, Allie, you and your dad and his friends are probably going to be some of the few Canucks fans there, so it is possible that people will be rude..."

Finn sighed. Rachel worried so much. "Rach, she'll be fine."

"So, he's #82?" Rachel asked Finn.

Finn nodded. "Yup. Hence why Allie and I got jerseys with #82. You should have come with us, too."

"I think Caylie's a little young to come to a game," Rachel said. "Besides, I'm having Katie and Anna over."

"We're both hanging out with college friends today," Finn said with a smile. It wasn't uncommon for him and Rachel to do similar things at similar times.

"That's true," Rachel said. "And hey, you told me blue and green were their colors, and I'm wearing blue and green today."

"Good job Mommy," Allie giggled.

"Allie, remember, don't get TOO much junk food at the game," Rachel said.

Allie groaned. "Okay, Mommy."

Before anyone had a chance to say anything else, Finn, Rachel and Allie heard a cry from Caylie's rooom. "Our little angel is awake!" Finn said.

Allie gave Finn a disappointed look. "I thought I was your little angel!"

"You both are!" Finn said as he hugged Allie.

Rachel went to Caylie's room and got her daughter. "Mommy's here," she said softly. "So are Daddy and Allie."

"But we're going to a hockey game soon!" Allie said. "My first hockey game!"

Caylie giggled. "Maybe you can practice walking with Mommy and Aunt Katie and Aunt Anna," Allie added.

"She is getting better at walking, isn't she?" Rachel said.

"Emily can walk by herself now though," Allie said.

"Well, Emily was an early starter," Finn said. "Julia's still barely learning, and from what I've heard from Uncle Puck and Aunt Quinn, they haven't even gotten Bailey to start yet."

"We should go visit them and help them with her!" Allie said.

Rachel smiled. "I bet they'd like that. You two have fun at the game, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy!" Allie said.

As Finn and Allie began to leave, Finn knew that he'd tell Allie something he didn't want to say in front of Rachel. "Allie, when we're at the game, you can have as much junk food as you want."

"Good," Allie giggled. "Mommy's such a health nut."

Finn laughed at his daughter's word choice. "Yes she is."

"I like junk food better," Allie said. "Once when I slept over at Mia's, her dad let us have ice cream for breakfast."

"That's not a good idea," Finn said.

"But I thought you liked junk food!" Allie giggled.

"I do, but is important to have healthy food, too," Finn said.

"I can still have junk food at the game today, right?" Allie asked.

"Yes, you can," Finn said.

"Good!" Allie giggled. They got on the bus and went to the Islanders stadium. Finn noticed that Rachel was right - most of the people there were wearing Islanders jerseys. Had Corey not gotten a spot on the Canucks, Finn and Allie would probably be wearing Islanders jerseys as well.

"We'll get to see him after the game, right?" Allie asked Finn. "Maybe he'll sign my jersey?"

"I'm sure he will!" Finn told his daughter.

Allie giggled. "My daddy's friends with a famous hockey player.

Finn smiled at his daughter's innocence. He sent Corey a text wishing him luck in the game and letting him know that he and Allie were there, and then he texted Blake to ask if any of the other guys from NYU were there yet.

"I want a chocolate sundae!" Allie announced when they got in.

"Let's find our seats first, okay?" Finn asked.

Allie sighed. "Okay."

Finn and Allie walked to their seats, where a bunch of Finn's friends from NYU who still lived in New York were waiting. "Hey Finn! Hey Allie!" Blake said.

"Hey man," Finn said to his friend. "Can't believe one of our friends is on a major team!"

"I know, it's crazy," Blake agreed.

"Is that Allie?" Henry asked. "I haven't seen her since graduation."

"Yeah, this is Allie," Finn said proudly.

"Wow, she's gotten so big!" Tyler said.

"I'm in second grade now!" Allie said.

"Yeah, you're a big girl," Nathan said.

"Allie?" a voice said.

Allie and Finn turned and saw a boy about Allie's age in an Islanders jersey.

Allie smiled. "Hi John!"

"You like the Canucks?" the boy asked.

"My daddy's friend plays for them," Allie said.

"That's cool, but I like the Islanders," the boy said.

"I like them too," Allie told the boy. "If they were playing anyone else, I'd want the Islanders to win."

"We'd better get to our seats," a man with the boy said.

"Okay, bye Allie," John said.

"Bye John," Allie said.

"Who's he?" Finn asked. This was the first time he'd seen Allie talking to a boy.

"That's John, he's in my class," Allie said.

"So it begins," Peter said to Finn.

Allie laughed. "I'm only in second grade!"

"That's true," Finn said, wondering what the boys Allie dated ten years in the future would be like.

"So, how's Rachel?" Blake asked Finn.

"She's great," Finn said. "Caylie's great too, she's starting to walk. How's Chloe?"

"She's doing well," Blake said. "We're starting to talk about wedding plans." Blake and Chloe had gotten engaged a few weeks ago.

"Let us know when you set a date," Finn said.

"Of course, you'll be a groomsman!" Blake said.

"I like weddings," Allie said. "I haven't been to one in a while."

"Well, there's only three weddings left in the Glee family," Finn said.

The screen popped up with a message, and Allie read it out loud. "Please rise for the National anthem."

Finn felt a sense of pride that his daughter could read. They rose for the National anthem, and then five Islanders and five Canucks took their places on the ice. "Why are there only five?" Allie whispered to Finn.

"Only five go on the ice at a time," Finn explained.

"Where's Corey?" Allie asked.

"He's not there right now," Finn said.

"I hope he goes on the ice soon," Allie said.

"Oh, so do I!" Finn said.

By the end of the first period, the game was still unscored. Corey was one of the five players on the ice when the second period began. "Daddy!" Allie said, jabbing Finn. "There he is!"

Finn smiled, feeling happy for his friend. "I see him!"

"GO COREY!" Allie shouted.

"She's a great little cheerleader!" Blake said to Finn.

One of the Islanders pushed one of the Canucks over and was sent to the penalty box. "He can't do that!" Allie shouted.

"That's why he's in the penalty box," Finn said to Allie.

"What's the penalty box?" Allie asked.

Finn admitted that he liked explaining these things to Allie. "When a guy on one team does something he shouldn't do, he gets sent to the penalty box and his team only has four people on the ice, and the other team has five."

"So the Canucks have more people now?" Allie asked.

"Yeah, for two minutes," Finn said.

Allie went back to watching the game. While the Islander was in the penalty box, Corey scored a goal for the Canucks. Most of the arena didn't cheer, but Allie jumped up out of her seat and cheered, as did Finn and the NYU guys.

"I think that's his first goal on the Canucks!" Blake said.

"It was!" Nathan confirmed.

The group sat back down to watch the rest of the game. The Canucks ended up winning, 3-1. At the end of the game, Finn and his friends took out their tickets to get in the locker room and headed back stage.

"I can't wait to meet him!" Allie said.

"You have met him," Finn reminded his daughter. "He came over a few times when we were in college, but then he moved back to Canada."

"Then I can't wait to meet him again!" Allie said.

The group was let into the Canucks locker room, where they found Corey right away. "Great game, man!" Finn said.

"Thanks, Finn!" Corey said. "And thanks so much for coming, all of you."

"So, it was your first goal!" Blake said.

"Yeah, maybe being back in New York did the trick!" Corey said. "I always wanted to play for the Canucks when I was little."

"Well, now you get to!" Finn said. "You remember my daughter, Allie, right?"

"She's gotten so big!" Corey said.

"Everyone says that!" Allie giggled. She gave Corey a hug. "Nice to see you again!"

"Allie was hoping you could sign her jersey," Finn said to Corey.

Corey took a sharpie. "Of course I can!"

Allie smiled wide as Finn's friend signed her jersey.

"Caylie, you should be asleep," Rachel said. She was standing in Caylie's room after she'd heard some baby talk coming from there. Caylie was standing in her crib, holding on to the rails.

"Are you waiting for Daddy and Allie to get home?" Rachel asked as she lifted Caylie out of the crib. "Okay, we can go wait for them, but you need to get back to bed when they get home, little missy."

Rachel and Caylie went to the living room, where Rachel took her daughter's hands and did a little practice on walking when they heard the door of the apartment open.

"Hey!" Finn said as he kissed his wife and younger daughter.

"Did you two have fun?" Rachel asked.

"The Canucks won!" Allie said. "And Corey signed my jersey!"

"He did?" Rachel asked. "Wow, Allie, I bet you can't wait to show that to your friends."

"He scored a goal, too," Finn added.

"YES!" Allie said. "My daddy's friend is famous."

"You'd better get to bed, Allie, it's late," Finn said.

Allie pouted. "Okay."

"So she had fun?" Rachel asked Finn.

Finn nodded. "So did I. I love spending time with Allie."
