Where Dreams Take You
Chapter 7
Rachel POV
Rachel lay on her side, Finn pressed up behind her as his fingers tangled lightly in her hair. Every few breathes he would press his lips against the top of her head, kissing her softly and causing a satisfied sigh to leave her mouth. Seeing Finn again made the whole trip worth it. "Mmm keep doing that and we may never leave the bed."
She heard him chuckle and pull her closer against his chest, his large hand wrapping around her waist. "Promise?" He said huskily into her ear, causing small bumps to trickle across her arms.
Rachel rolled backwards, looking up at him and reaching her hand back behind his head, pulling him toward her. "I love you." She pressed her lips to his; the ever present spark still there after all these years as they kissed each other deeply. There would never be anyone that compared to Finn for her. He was her life, near or far, it didn't matter to her. He would always be her home. He mumbled his declaration of love, his body pressing into hers as he claimed her once more as his that night. They continued the dance until they both lay there, covered in sweat, the sheets tangled around their legs, and their eyelids getting heavier as they listened to the other breathing in the dark. She was exactly where she had needed to be, she didn't even realize how much she needed Finn before leaving for the trip, but now, having him holding her again, she was at peace.
It was the banging on the door that jarred her awake, the room still covered in darkness through the thick curtains. Finn groaned beside her, his large hand gripping her hip as she tried to lift her head. "What time is it?" Her voice thick and gravely as she tried to speak.
"Who cares, they'll go away." He pulled tighter on her, pulling the sheets over them both before the banging at the door started again.
"Finn, they aren't going away." She looked over at the clock, squinting her eyes until the numbers came into view. "It's already noon, Finn." She said surprised.
Finn nodded wearily. "Noon's too early to get out of bed."
Rachel smacked him on the chest and pushed away from him. "I'm going to get the door." She felt his hands grabbing for her, trying to pull her back to bed but she ignored his protests as she wrapped the sheet tightly around her and stumbled toward the door. She felt hungover even though she hadn't had a drop to drink. More like sexed-over. She thought to herself with a laugh. It had been a while since she'd had sex, her legs felt like jello and she could feel the soreness between her thighs from the hours of lovemaking she and Finn had done throughout the night. She yanked on the door and stared into the hallway.
"Well, well, well Princess. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?"
Rachel peered through tired slits as she focused her vision on Noah and Kyle standing in front of her. "Can I help you?"
Puck pushed past her as she tried to object to him entering the room. "Hey!" She said loudly as she turned toward the room, Kyle shrugging and walking in beside her.
"Don't bother putting on clothes Hudson; it's nothing I haven't seen before." She heard Noah as he entered the bedroom.
"What the fuck man, decency, privacy! What part aren't you getting?" Finn complained.
"Sorry Rachel." Kyle said quietly beside her and Rachel pulled the sheet up even higher on her body, not wanting to repeat the time that he had gotten the full view of her naked. "I told him we'd come back but he has this crazy idea to take everyone out to lunch to celebrate babygate."
Rachel nodded and walked into the bedroom. "Dude, seriously, get out of bed so we can go eat. I'm gonna be a dad. I want to celebrate with my friends." Noah was standing next to the bed looking down at Finn who had a pillow over his head. Suddenly he tossed the pillow, smacking Noah in the chest.
"Ok, just get the fuck out of our room first." Finn said frustrated. Noah smirked, gave Rachel a quick wink and then left the room with Kyle.
"Hurry the fuck up though; I don't want the baby to be a year old before we have lunch." Noah yelled back as he slammed the door shut behind him.
Finn's bottom lip was protruding as he sat up in the bed. "Why can't he see that I just want to be with my wife?" He pouted. "It's not my fault he knocked Quinn up again."
Rachel got on her knees on the bed and scooted her way toward Finn. "I know baby, but he's excited." He met her at the center of the bed, his arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her toward him.
"Last night he wanted to tear the hotel down, now he wants to feed everyone and celebrate?" His lips grazed her neck and she murmured into his hair incoherently. "I'd rather have breakfast in bed." He growled in her ear, his tongue slipping against her skin.
"Baby…." Rachel purred against him. "We gotta get dressed." She knew they needed to go, that Noah was waiting just outside their hotel door, yet she allowed him to pull her against his chest, she didn't fight him when his mouth pressed against her taut nipples, and nothing stopped her from sinking down onto his cock as his hands pressed against her back. Their tongues clashed in a heated exchange as she bounced against him, the sounds of their moans filling the room.
"I can hear you two and that doesn't sound like you're getting dressed." Noah's voice reverberated through the door.
"Oh God." Rachel cried out as Finn's hand moved between them, ignoring the chaos going on outside their room. "Yes Finn, oh God, I'm so close."
Finn let out a loud growl as he furiously worked his hand between them, his fingers of his other hand gripping tightly against her back as he balanced her weight each time she lifted herself off his cock before slamming back against his hips. The taut band inside of her snapped and her fingernails dug into his shoulder as she released a scream, her orgasm hitting her suddenly. His teeth were against her neck as he grunted out his own release until they both sat there holding each other, their labored breathing slowly coming back down. "God I sure did miss that." He said with a smirk as he pulled back and smiled at her.
The pounding at the door started again and Rachel buried her face in his shoulder. "Ugh….we need to get dressed or he's going to make me crazy." She pulled back and looked at him, sweat dripping down his forehead. She placed a small kiss on his nose. "I love you." She pushed up on her knees, his limp member sliding out of her as he groaned in protest. "Come on, might as well eat to regain your strength." She said with a wink.
They took their time getting ready, laughing about how angry Noah would be when they finally got outside the room. When they opened the door Noah was standing with his arms crossed leaning against the wall opposite the door. "It's about fucking time, Casanova."
"Pervert." Finn shot back as he took Rachel's hand and they all walked toward the elevator.
When they got to the hotel café everyone was waiting for them. "Sorry." Noah said as he leaned over and kissed Quinn's forehead. "We would have been back sooner but there was a porno going on in their room." Rachel rolled her eyes and took a seat in the chair next to Finn, smiling over at Sam as she took her napkin and put it in her lap.
"It's called privacy, learn it dude." Finn glared toward his friend.
The group settled in, toasting the couple on the new addition to their family that they would be welcoming and enjoyed a quiet dinner. Rachel watched as Noah fussed over Quinn, making sure she had enough water, checking to make sure that the smells weren't too much for her, touching her stomach. It made Rachel's heart warm seeing them like that. She hoped one day that would be Finn and her.
"Poor guy." Finn said leaning over and whispering into her ear. Rachel looked over at him confused. "I don't envy him. They haven't been married that long, he's always on the road, and now they're gonna be saddled with a kid. Tough break."
Rachel frowned. "I'm sure they don't consider it being saddled, Finn. Babies are sweet."
Finn chuckled. "Yeah when you don't have to change them, feed them, listen to them cry all night when all you wanna do is make love to your wife." He nuzzled against her ear and kissed her gently.
Rachel smacked his arm. "You learn to incorporate a baby into all of that."
"Yeah but I'm sure he hasn't even thought about the fact he's gonna have to quit the band. Give it all up to start a family. I'm just saying that I'm glad I'm not in his place right now." Rachel shivered against his breath, leaning back to look at him. He was right. It was a lot to take in suddenly. Surely Noah wouldn't quit the band though. It wouldn't be easy but he could still travel. Though Rachel knew that if she was Quinn she would want Finn with her. Quinn was lucky that she had a job that would allow her to be a mom. For Rachel it would mean quitting the show or taking a long absence, and God forbid her understudy would take her role. Rachel pushed the thought quickly out of her mind. She definitely wasn't ready to deal with all of that, no matter what stirred in her watching Noah and Quinn fuss over the impending birth of their child.
She leaned back against Finn's chest, watching all of her friends. She really was lucky. She had the man of her dreams, the best friends she could ever ask for, and the perfect job. There was nothing more she could ask for in her life right now.
"Well I'm planning the shower. It's going to be amazing." Kurt was flailing his arms all around the table as he talked about his ideas for the shower. Quinn's face was bright and cheerful as she listened. Rachel could tell she was happy and at peace about the baby. "And then we can have a stork flown in."
Noah put his hand over Kurt's mouth. "Please, someone tell me he did not just say he was going to fly in a stork?" Everyone at the table laughed as he pulled his hand away.
"I'll have you know that stork's can be flown in to New York and it's quite a sight." Kurt said offended. Blaine put his hand over Kurt's.
"I'm sure whatever you plan will be beautiful." He said adoringly. Kurt stopped talking and smiled over at his boyfriend before leaning over and kissing him gently to sounds of Ooh's and Aah's all around the table.
"When are you two going to have kids?" Noah asked and Kurt laughed. "Oh please, that poor little thing couldn't deal with me right now. I'm still in my meddling phase." Rachel giggled loudly. Kurt called this stage of his life his meddling phase because he was always meddling in everyone else's lives, making sure people were happy, planning weddings and births, and keeping himself busy. He told her that the day that he found the perfect theme and color scheme was the day he would settle down himself. Blaine had asked him to marry him a year previously but Kurt stopped him mid sentence, asking him to hold his thoughts until he could comprehend the words. Everyone was still waiting for that day to come, and Blaine seemed content to wait.
"Besides, I figured the next stork would belong to our love birds anyway." Kurt said and Rachel laughed before she realized that everyone was looking at her and Finn with bemused smiles on their faces.
"Who? Us?" Rachel exclaimed.
Finn let out a loud booming laugh. "I'm pretty sure our stork has Hudson genes and got lost trying to find us." Finn joked.
Everyone laughed as Finn squeezed Rachel's hand. "Don't look at me." She said to all of the prying eyes. "There's no way I'm letting someone take my spot on the stage." Rachel shook her head and smiled up at Finn. "Besides what would your screaming throngs of fans be without this hot and sexy drummer?" She reached up and pinched Finn's cheeks as he pulled away from her pretending to be annoyed.
"The ladies come for me, Rachel." Sam said with a snort.
"You wish." Finn teased as he tossed his napkin toward the blonde.
"You're not going to quit are you?" Kyle asked from the other side of the table as he looked at Noah and the table got silent.
"Yes." "Of course not." Quinn and Noah both answered simultaneously and then turned toward the other. "Of course you're going to quit." Quinn said louder than she seemed to intend.
"Why would I quit just because you're having our baby? I still have a job to do and this is it." Noah announced, looking around the table for support.
"You don't just expect me to sit at home and wait for you to show up and be a father, do you? I'm not doing this on my own!" She said loudly.
Rachel felt Finn lean toward her. "I told you I didn't envy them."
Noah stood up and grabbed Quinn by the arm. "If you'll excuse us, we apparently still have some things to talk about." They stepped away from the table and Noah looked back. "No one is quitting the band." He said firmly before Quinn dragged him toward the exit and everyone at the table stared down at their plates.
