Hey everyone! Thank you for all the reviews, favs, and alerts! And I'd also like to thank user Cazred11 for being the 150 reviewer! In this chapter, Finn and Rachel start college. I don't know anything about college involving how the classes work and stuff, so forgive me if something is wrong.

In this chapter, you will find out who's returning from the past. And all I have to say is you might have to return to Complicated to find out who this character is.

I don't own Glee. The only characters I own are Cory, Olivia, and the mystery character.

Enjoy!


"Finn...come on, it's time to get up," Rachel whispered to her fiancee as she started to shake his wide shoulder vigorously. Today was their first day of school, the only difference was Finn had to drive almost two hours down to Columbus while Rachel stayed at home to take her online classes. His first class, English, was at nine and lasted until ten thirty, and right now it was six in the morning.

"Why...let me sleep," he groaned, turning the other way in bed.

"No Finn, you need to get ready for school," she shook him again. She was about ready to splash cold water on his face if he didn't get up soon.

"Fine...what's my first class for today? It's Monday right?" he asked half asleep.

"Yes, today is Monday and your first class is English. You better take your shower quickly if you want to get there on time..." Rachel said falling back on her pillow. Her classes didn't start until later, so she was able to get a few more hours of sleep. She was anxious starting today, but it couldn't be that hard, right?

-more-than-words-

If it wasn't for Rachel waking me up, I'd probably be late today, Finn thought as he pulled into a parking space on campus. He was lucky to have found it so close to the building he was supposed to go to. He finished drinking his orange juice that he got from this breakfast place on the way, since coffee was absolutely revolting for his taste buds. He eventually made his way into the building and found his English class very quickly, and it looked different then what he was used too. There were more people in there too, and who knows how many of them were from different states or schools. He didn't recognize anyone from McKinley, which was a good thing on his part.

Finn took a seat in the middle of the class, even though most of the people were socializing. The class didn't start for another ten minutes, so it made sense that people would do this.

"Hey, you up?" he texted Rachel.

A minute or so later he got a reply. "Yep. I just gave Cory breakfast and now we're going to watch some cartoons. Have a good day"

"You too," he smiled when he read her text and when he hit send. When Finn placed his phone beside his notebook, he could feel someone's presence next to him.

"Hey there Finn," when he looked up, he saw the face of the girl he met at orientation: Olivia. "I was wondering if you were ok, you didn't text me or anything like that."

"Yeah, I was kinda busy. Sorry. Plus, I really can't have a girlfriend right now because I'm actually engaged to my girlfriend. I also have a two year old son and another son on the way."

"Oh," she replied looking around the room. "That's fine with me, but I wouldn't go blabbering that around if I were you. I can guarantee you that if or when people find out there will be mixed emotions."

"You have a kid dude?" both Finn and Olivia turned their heads to the other guy sitting next to Finn, his head resting on his arms. His hair was a dirty blonde color, and his eyes were a bright blue. He felt like he had seen those eyes before, but he didn't know from where. "That's cool, I guess. What's it like?"

"Jack, why are you always butting in on people's conversations?" Olivia asked scowling.

"I don't mine, it's ok. And Jack, It's nice," was all he said. He didn't want to go into too much detail with a guy he had just met.

"Sorry 'bout that. Quite honestly I'm half asleep right now..." Jack yawned while talking.

"Is that why this is your second time repeating Freshmen English?" Olivia retorted with a devilish grin.

"Shut up," he spat, looking at her. He then flickered his eyes back over to Finn. "I'm a Junior and yes, I'm in Freshmen English. I really slacked off during the first two years so...yep."

The tallest of the group looked at both of them for a second before asking. "So, where are you guys from?"

"I'm actually from Minnesota. It's too cold up there," Olivia answered.

"The weather in Ohio isn't that great either," Finn commented.

"I'm from Cleveland, but I was born and raised in Lima. I moved to Cleveland during my junior year for certain reasons," Jack said.

"That's cool. Did you go to McKinley?" The dark haired man asked.

"Yep. Did you?"

"Yep. I started my freshmen year in 2008, you were obviously a junior then like you are now."

"Alright, stop reminiscing about the glory days. We're in college now, you two. High school sucks, and college is a lot better than that horrid place. So let's try to forget about the past and start college with a clean slate," Olivia stated. She seemed different now that she knew about him and Rachel, but at least she wasn't smitten over him anymore. Than again, that's what he thought. Who knew what she was actually thinking.


"This is hard, Santana. This is too hard," Rachel was on the phone with her friend while she was scrolling through a document her teacher e-mailed her for a class. "I'm only on the second paragraph of this and I'm still confused."

"Are you experiencing pregnancy brain again? I swear you've had pregnancy brain since you were pregnant with Cory, and you've had it ever since," Santana said on the other line.

"Maybe I should have tried to take this semester on campus instead of online," she probably should have, but it was too late to change her mind.

"Sorry Berry, but I gotta go. My roommate wants to go out to help decorate our dorm room...If she suggests anything involving pink I swear," that made her laugh, but while she was laughing the line went dead. Rachel sighed as she continued to read through the syllabus. All she had to do was print it out, sign it, and scan it back on the computer to e-mail it to the teacher.

"It's only eleven..." she whispered. The day had already flown by, but that was probably because she slept in until 9:00.

"Mama!" she heard Cory call from his bedroom. The brunette slowly lifted herself from her desk chair and waddled into his room. "I am hungry."

"You just had breakfast not even two hours ago," Rachel told him.

"I am hungry," he repeated, looking up from his toys into her eyes.

"Let's go get you a healthy snack, not something filled with sugar," she watched as he darted out of his room and into the kitchen. She grabbed him some blueberries, put them in a bowl, and made her way to the dining room table. She decided to do the rest of her work out there with him just in case he'd almost choke or something along the lines of that.

"Alright, so it looks like I'll need a notebook for this, and then maybe clothing..." Rachel wrote down what she needed on a scrap sheet of paper.

"Done!" Cory exclaimed. "I want to go to my room now."

"Hold on Cor, just one second," she continued to write down the supplies she needed.

"Now..." he pouted. He sounded angry when he crossed his arms. When she didn't respond, he grabbed the plastic bowl and threw it back on the table. As soon as he did that, she grabbed him from his high chair and directly took him to his room.

"Cory Sean Hudson, we do not smash things on tables when we don't get our way, do you understand?" he nodded rigth before she walked out of the room and made her way back to the table. Handling college and a two year old was going to be hard.

-more-than-words-

"Rach, I'm home! And I brought Chinese food!" Finn exclaimed as he walked though the door at about three in the afternoon.

"Welcome home!" she shouted from the living room, checking over her list again. Rachel was about to get up when Finn came in to plant a kiss on her lips.

"How was your day?" he asked sitting beside her on the couch.

"It was alright, I have a feeling school is going to be rough though," she sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder. "How about you?"

"It was good. Nothing exciting."

"Was that Olivia girl in any of your classes?" her voice was tense when she asked that question. Should Finn really answer that question? Olivia seemed like a really nice girl, and if he said anything to Rachel that might make her mad.

"Yeah, she's in my English class. We're cool now, so there's nothing to worry about."


Should you be worried about Olivia, or does she seem harmless? And did you figure out who Jack is?

Coming up in chapter 19: Finchel decorate/paint the nursery, and there's already a group project in English class, and Finn, Jack, Olivia, and someone else are paired up together. How will that go?
