Chapter 12
Finn's POV
My heart was beating as fast as possible without dying as I walked down the hall. "Hey, Finn," I heard that familiar happy voice from behind me.
"I thought you chose her side," I rolled my eyes.
"I'm Switzerland," Quinn said.
"Great," I sighed. "What do you want?"
"I want you to apologize," She told me.
"What did I do wrong? It was all you, Q. Why can't you see that?" I turned around and cornered her against the lockers. "This is all your fault!" I yelled.
"I already told her I take full responsibility but she won't listen! She'll take you back as soon as you apologize! And you didn't stop me! Just try to earn her trust again. She still loves you. You're her daughter's father and that baby's gonna be born in less than five months." She tried to move but she couldn't get anywhere with me blocking her. "Let me go to class!"
"I have a plan." I said.
1 Day Later
It wasn't much of a plan, just a couple of ideas combined to make the perfect night. I knew it was a long shot. Nobody knew where I was coming from on this because they knew that it wouldn't end well. They knew I'd leave her heartbroken and she'd end up depressed in New York City; but I knew I needed to be there for my baby girl, even if Rachel didn't need me to be. Santana decided to help me, even though she was mad at Rachel. Quinn was sucked in the minute I told her. And Rachel, we didn't have to worry about her; Kurt and her dads would handle her. I hoped for something good to come of this; at least getting her back. But Quinn was right. I needed to apologize first.
Rachel's POV
I bawled into the pink, heart shaped pillow on my bed. I was almost screaming, actually. My iPod doc sat next to me playing a mix of Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Taylor Swift songs. All By Myself is kind of a downer. He didn't cheat on Quinn while she was pregnant! Well…actually he did but that's not the point!
"Hey, Rach, I'm leaving," Allie walked in and sat on my bed.
"Go away. I want to be alone."
"You're crying for help," She said. "You're listening to depressing love songs."
"What if I want to listen to sad music and cry? I've been doing this a lot lately. I'm sad. This is what I do when I'm sad. Pregnant people are moody, remember?" I didn't look up from my pillow because I didn't want to see her, looking all blonde and perfect, just like Quinn. I know I shouldn't be jealous anymore; I have Sophia with him now so of course he loves me, but Quinn's pretty. And I'm me. People probably think I'm insane for saying the things I said to them at the funeral. "I like Celine Dion. Do you have a problem with that?"
"All By Myself, Rachel, really?" She asked me.
"Can you please leave now?" I cried. "Go away."
I could tell she walked away because the door shut after a few seconds, just as the song changed to Enchanted by Taylor Swift. Without thinking, I picked up my phone and called Finn. Voicemail.
"Hey Finn, it's Rachel. We really need to talk. I'm sorry I freaked out so much at the funeral. Please call me. We can even meet somewhere. I want to talk. Goodbye," I hung up and threw my phone at the wall. It made a small dent but I didn't care. I ran down the stairs and out the front door. When I got in my dads' car I drove to WMHS. I got out and ran to the door. Sitting down against the door, I screamed. I just started bawling again and sat there like that for over 25 minutes. I couldn't breathe. What's so great about Quinn that he just needed to kiss her? I let him get me pregnant for Pete's sake! PREGNANT! And I knew he loved me but it was just too much. He risked too much. Then I noticed a car park on the street and two people ran up to me.
"Rachel, what's wrong?" Burt sounded concerned. It was nice to know he cared. "Did Finn do something to you?"
"I…no…I just…UGH, I can't believe we still haven't told you!" I tried to say through my tears.
"Did he hurt you?"
"Yes, but…not physically, I just…he cheated on me with Quinn even after she told everyone that I was pregnant and I was pissed at her and all of my friends and so I made a huge scene at the funeral and everybody was watching and Finn was super hurt and Santana hates me and now my worst enemy is best friend!" I cried.
"Rachel, it's fine, Finn will forgive you but I'm sure he's concerned about…wait, back up…you're pregnant?" Carole said, shocked.
"Um…yeah…"
"It's okay; we'll talk about it later. All I care about right now is you and Finn, okay?" Carole comforted me.
"Okay," I said, still crying. I don't know how but somehow I ended up in the backseat of Burt's truck on our way to the Hudson-Hummel house. I couldn't stop crying. "I can't do this. I can't talk to him. I love him but I don't know what to do! I'm so mad at him for what he did! But I want to forgive him, too!"
Carole rubbed my back to comfort me. "He loves you so much. We can never have a family conversation without you being brought up by Finn. Just go talk to him. I'm sure he'll feel horrible. And I'm going to be having a very serious conversation with that boy."
"You are the best mom ever. Finn is really lucky to have you. I'm really lucky to have such a great boyfriend with such a great family. I mean, you are the only 'mom' type person I actually feel comfortable talking to and Burt and Kurt are amazing people, too. I love you all so much!" I smiled.
"You're very sweet, but now you should go be sweet to Finn!" Carole grinned back hugging me.
"Okay, I'm ready." I walked to the front door, stepped inside and raced to Finn's room. "Finn, can we talk?"
"Rachel?" Finn jumped off his bed and ran to hug me. I was so tight in his arms I couldn't breathe but I didn't care, as long as I was in Finn's arms. "I love you so much and I'm so sorry."
"It's fine. I forgive you. I need to apologize, too. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that in front of everyone." I told him.
"No need to apologize. I was a jerk to you. You're having my baby and I love you. I don't care about Quinn. All I need is you. I'm sorry." Finn sighed.
I kissed him very passionately and he kissed back. "I love you so much!" He smiled.
"I love you, too, Finn. So can we hang out today? Your mom was acting like you had something special planned for us to do…"
"Are you sure you want to find out? It might put you under a lot of pressure…" He trailed off.
"Absolutely," I interrupted him.
About ten minutes later, we were in his car. I had no idea where we were going. "Finn, where are we going?"
"Somewhere, you'll see." Finn smirked as we suddenly pulled into my great-grandma's old house.
"Why are we here? I told you I never wanted to come here again.
"I'm sorry but you'll love this." Finn stopped the car and got out. "Are you coming?"
"Finn Hudson, are you crazy?" I rolled my eyes.
"Nope, just get out and I'll show you something really cool." He reached for my hand and I took it.
I stepped out of Burt's old, red truck and followed Finn down the huge hill. He led me to the pavilion and the beautiful river with flowers floating and swans swimming in it. There was a canoe sitting on the side with a big backpack in it. I realized Finn was pulling the canoe onto the river. He waved for me to come in and I did. He paddled while I just sat and stared at him. "Finn Christopher Hudson, you are by far the most…exciting boyfriend ever."
We got to a bright spot of the river where we could just sit and float. Finn opened the backpack and pulled out a blanket when he saw me shiver. He gave me a mug with hot chocolate in it and I drank the entire mug since I was so cold. (It's December!)
Finn leaned in to kiss me but I jokingly shoved him away. Accidently, I pushed him into the river. "Oh my God, Finn, are you okay?"
I couldn't see Finn so I got scared. Suddenly, I felt the boat rocking and I screamed as I fell out.
Finn popped up, above the water and grabbed my hand. "I'm here," He smiled. I was freezing cold and so was he, I was sure.
Rachel grinned and pulled Finn into a kiss. He gradually kissed back, getting more intense each moment. I couldn't stop kissing him; I loved him so much.
"Mm, baby, aren't you cold?" He asked.
"Not as long as I have you!" I wrapped my legs around his waist and we continued to kiss, him holding me above the water.
We continued kissing for about 10 minutes until I let go of Finn and swam back to the canoe. "Let's go back to the shore. We can lay down there. Plus, I'm freezing!"
Finn laid out a picnic blanket on the hard ground and took out a cozy red and black quilt. Followed by me, he sat under the quilt and over the picnic blanket.
"Why am I so in love with you right now? Most girls are turned-on by stuff like abs and popularity but I like guys who do romantic things like this. It's sexy and sweet at the same time!" I kissed Finn's cheek and then lied down to look up at the stars. It was only 8:00 so we had a lot of time to just have some Finchel time. He reached his arm around my waist.
"I love you so much its scary!" He pulled me closer to him so we were snuggled up so close that if we turned our heads toward each other, our noses would touch. "I wish we could stay here forever."
"I do, too. Why do you have to be so sexy?!" I leaned her head on his shoulder. After a few minutes we fell asleep. It was perfect. Everything was better. I loved him more than I ever imagined I would.
