Hi everyone! Thank you for all the reviews, favs, and alerts! I hope everyone had a good Christmas, mine was chapter consists of day 1 of the Columbus trip.

Btw, keep in mind that I've only done research for two year olds, I've never really been around young children, so everything comes from research.

I don't own Glee. I only own the character Cory and the people who work at the hotel who are nameless xD.

Enjoy!


"Little Cor, are you ready to go away for a couple days?" Rachel asked Sunday morning, getting her pink suitcase ready for their two day trip. Her, Finn, and Cory were going to stay in Columbus until Tuesday while Quinn and Noah were going to stay there until Wednesday.

"Yes!" her son squealed. "Take Puckasawus with us?"

"Of course you can take Puckasaurus with us," that was Cory's favorite stuffed animal, which was also what Noah had gotten for him when he was born.

"Whewe we go?" he asked while watching his mom pack her suitcase.

"We're going to Co-lum-bus," Rachel said slowly so he could try to say it himself. The last time he travelled somewhere was when the New Directions went to New York for Nationals. He was a baby back then, so he probably didn't even remember that.

"Co-wum-bus," he repeated at the same speed she did. He had trouble pronouncing his ls and rs, so he replaced them with ws.

"Yes, we're going to Columbus. It's a long way away from here," Rachel explained once she finished packing. Finn was currently in their room packing for himself. It amazed her that it took him longer to decide which clothes to take instead of being the opposite.

"Just us?" he was always full of questions. She then started to walk towards his room to help him pick out his clothes.

"No," she opened up a drawer in Cory's dresser and started to take out some summer clothes they had gotten him recently. "Uncle Puck and Auntie Quinn are coming with us."

"Ooooo," he said in awe.

"And we're going to have loads of fun too!" Since it was seven in the morning right now, they'd probably get there at about 9:30ish with traffic. Today was Saturday, so today just going to be a "get settled in" day at the hotel the group was staying at. Then tomorrow they were going to go look at the sites of Columbus, which would include a stop at the aquarium just for Cory. Then Monday was the day they were going to go meet Beth, and Tuesday was going to be another relaxation day for Finn and Rachel.

"Wike what?"

"We have a surprise for you, and you'll find out tomorrow," she grinned. "Finn! Are you ready?"

"Yeah, almost!"

"Finn, you're worse than me!" she exclaimed with a giggle. Almost moments later he came out of their bedroom with a smirk on his face.

"Well, all I can say is some of the stuff you're taking will look excellent on you," he was about to kiss her when Cory erupted for his room.

"Wet's go!"

"Hold on Cory," Finn instructed his son. "Are you sure you have everything you need Rach? Like the pre-natal vitamins and such?"

"Yep, I'm fine. Now let's get out of this house and have some fun!"

-more-than-words-

"Cowumbus yet?" Cory asked in his car seat. They had only been on the road for about thirty minutes just behind Puck and Quinn's car.

"Not yet Cory. We've still have over an hour before we get there," Finn explained. "Try and get some sleep."

"So, when are you going to go tour the campus for Ohio State in Columbus?" Rachel asked quietly.

"Well...there's something that I need to tell you," he probably should have told her before they left the house. The one benefit though was that she couldn't chase after him with any knives or something. "Once we get there and register at the hotel I decided to go today to get it out of the way."

"What? Why?"

"As I said, to get it out of the way so we could have more time together," he repeated.

"Oh..," she sounded disappointed.

"I'll only be gone for a couple hours. Three at the most," he sincerely said. "And then I'll come straight from there to the hotel in time for dinner, ok?"

"Alrighty," and then continued on their trip.


"This looks like a very nice place," Rachel and Finn heard Quinn say once the couple walked into the hotel. Even though they were before Noah and Puck, they were able to get in there faster with a stroller and extra baggage. The hotel was very nice, actually. It easily topped all the hotels in Lima combined. The carpet was an elegant maroon and gold color. The walls were painted a nice white color that looked yellow because of the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

"It is," the receptionist commented from behind the desk. "Can I help you?"

"Yes," the blonde said as she made her way to the desk. The other couple followed behind them, silently waiting for their turn. "We were wondering if the five of us could get separate rooms on the same floor."

"Let's see if I can pull something up," he went to his computer and searched for a few seconds. "Yes, I have two rooms available, however they both only have one bed. Do you mind?"

Before Quinn could say anything Noah intervened. "Nope, not at all."

"Names?"

"Noah Puckerman and Quinn Fabray."

"Alright then. You two are room 36B," he handed each of them a key card for their room.

Finn walked up to get them their card. "Could we also get a crib for our room please?"

"Certainly. Names?"

"Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry."

"...And your room is 37B. We'll deliver it to your room shortly," the receptionist tapped the bell on his desk and a bellhop came nearby. He took their bags and lead them up the elevator and towards their respective rooms. They unlocked their doors and entered their rooms to admire them. Once the bellhop delivered Noah and Quinn's things, he gave the other couple there's. When he placed his hand out, Rachel gave him a crisp five dollar bill.

"I shouldn't be talking bad about your friends, Miss, but the other male just gave me a high five when I placed my hand out to him."

"That's typical of him," she commented.

"Thank you, and enjoy your stay," he said as he shut the door behind him.

"This bed is so comfortable..." Finn tiredly said with a sigh at the end. "What time is it?"

"Right now it's 9:01," Rachel answered, collapsing on the bed next to him. "When's your campus visit?"

"11:00. You know what we could do in an hour and a half?"

"No...please Finn. I'm too tired," she groaned. "Besides, Cory's in here." A moment later, there was a knock on the door, which indicated that their crib was here. He got it in the room quickly and placed Cory in it shortly after. Thankfully he was still sleeping from when they got here.

"There, now it's just you-" Finn saw that she was now asleep, already snoring. He chuckled as he watched her for a minute; curled up in a ball and so peaceful. He decided to watch a little bit of TV before he left.

-more-than-words-

"Rachel? Rachel are you in there?" her eyes burst open when she heard a knock on the door. Her eyes were only half-open, and man was she tired. All she wanted to do was sleep today since she was going to be on her feet all day tomorrow.

"Who is it?" she yelled.

"It's Nick Cage. Who the hell do you think it is?" the brunette wasn't in the mood for sarcasm now. She quickly fixed her hair with her hands before opening the door.

"Yes?"

"We were going to go get some lunch. Would you like to come?" Quinn asked pleasantly.

"Sure. Let me get Cory," Rachel got Cory up from his nap, which is wasn't pleased about but he dealt with it. They went done to the dining hall of the hotel, and got as much food as they could. Recently she had started developing a craving for BLT sandwiches and strawberry cheesecake, which they both had. Once she was finished eating she was more tired than ever.

"So, have you two been thinking of baby names?" Noah asked while gobbling his large variety of foods.

"Dear me, I hope Beth doesn't have your eating habits," the blonde whispered under her breath.

"Kind of. We want to avoid anything for the top ten most common because, well, they're common. Finn was thinking of Julie for a girl, but I'm still not sure about that one."

"And for a boy?"

"Not really. Christopher is still on the table, but we agreed he'd have to look like a Christopher for him to have that name." Rachel explained. The right name would come, she just knew it.

-more-than-words-

"Rach, I'm back!" Finn said while quickly opening the door to their hotel room

"Hey," she replied with a grin, holding Cory beside her. "We're watching a cartoon."

"Daddy!" Cory shouted with happiness, shooting up from his beside his mom.

"Hey there buddy!" he replied with the same amount of enthusiasm. "Do you mind if I watch TV with the two of you?"

"No," he crawled back to his spot next to Rachel, and Finn sat next to her.

"How'd it go?" the brunette whispered.

"I'll tell you tomorrow," he really didn't want to talk about what happened on the campus today. Tomorrow was another day.


So, what do you think happened to Finn on campus? Who knows, but you'll find out!

Coming up in chapter 15: Finn, Rachel, Puck, Quinn, and Cory all head out to explore Columbus. And when the gang has dinner, what will Finn reveal about his visit to Ohio State's campus?
