Don't Miss Your Life

"Don't let such precious moments pass. We all know time goes way too fast. Hold on tight 'cause it don't happen twice

Don't miss your life." Finn Hudson has a successful life as as business man to his father's company a somewhat exhausting demanding job which requires him to be away a lot. One day he gets the chance to realize his job isn't as important as missing on his own life.

Happy Father's Day to everyone celebrating! In honor of this day I've decided to update this fic! I do hope you like this chapter! I'll include some Finn and kids bonding time ;)

I own nothing.

Chapter 5:

Finn searched for his fathers eyes. "You should have played football." He said. "You. My only son should have been one of those kids drafted to the NLF."

"Dad..."

"I remember us playing catch all afternoon until your mom would come get us because it had become dark. Do you remember that kid?"

"I do." Finn said with a slight smile. "It is one of my favorite childhood memories." They exchanged a sad smile.

"I'll call my friend Joan and put on a good word for you at your aunts old school. She might be able to get you something before the beginning of the next school year." Finn had to nod slowly as the words left Chris. Had he been calm about this whole thing? How was that possible?

"I... Sure, that'd be great dad, I appreciate it,"

"Why don't I hear my china or anything else breaking?" Carole said entering with Rachel in tow.

"Are you guys okay?" Rachel moved behind Finn.

"We are." He took her hand, kissing the palm. "Dad might be able to help me get a job before the school year begins" Rachel's eyes focus on Chris's. "it'd be great to see some of my old friends, won't it babe?"

"Yes."

"Chris..." Carole said slowly. "Honey, are you okay with this? I mean... It's really sudden..."

"I'd already made too many decisions for Finn growing up. He's a man, with a family. If it will be this way, then that's the way it has to be." Carole moved to kiss her husband on the cheek and then glanced over at Finn and Rachel.

"Thanks dad." Finn said falling back on the chair as his body relaxed.

Chris smiled. That crooked half smile.

"Dad?" Finn had come to the office for the past week to help out in order to be able to step out. Finn's cousin who had actually played football for a while would be taking over. He had grown up in New York and Finn had come more than once growing up.

"Son, come in I was just giving Tim a few tips, I know he knows the drill but, it's different to be on the other side, isn't it?"

"Hey man, I can't believe I get to do this as my day job!" His cousin beamed. Finn smirked. "Uncle Chris is a genius!"

"You kiss ass." Chris mused. "It's fine, now you better get out of before I keep you overnight." Tim nodded, hugging and after Finn promised to have him over for dinner soon, his younger cousin left. "So what's up kid?" Finn sat across his dad at the main office.

"I just wanted to let you know I got the job at Cedar's cove."

Chris smiled. "I knew you would Finn." They exchanged silent understanding.

"Yeah well, I couldn't have done it without you, I can even walk to work."

"That's good, at least one of us will keep in shape," Finn smiled but didn't answer back, Chris knew something was up, as they were so alike. "Something on your mind Finn?"

The younger Hudson shook his head, he didn't want to admit l his dad that he had not, in a million years be okay with him quitting.

"I... Are you sure you're okay with this?" Chris frowned. "I just... I was really freaked out about telling you because I knew you wouldn't be okay with it" Chris smiled.

"That's true, I wouldn't have."

"I just..I was tired of screwing up, like I did with the army or when we had Cory barely out of high school. I didn't want to see you be disappointed in me dad and me quitting seemed exactly that, But it's not..."

"First of all." Chris cut him off. "I love Cory and yes, I was mad because you weren't near ready for a child when Rachel became pregnant, I didn't want you to make the same mistakes I did. But don't you ever regret becoming a parent Finn, I have watched you and you were born to make sure those kids are loved and love just the same." Finn was really confused, although he felt tears nearing his eyes. Chris wasn't the one to bare his feelings like Finn was. "I am so proud of the man you're turning out to be, I just wish I had something more to do with it." His words were full of regret.

"You had everything to do with it." Finn said sincerely. "You're worth looking up to, Dad."

"Sometimes that's not enough Chris admitted sadly. "There's something I have to tell you Finn." Before the former quarterback could process his words Chris continued. "On the same day you told me about you wanting to leave the company I had received a call from the hospital cleaning me from a brain tumor."

Finn went pale. "It's benign so they don't really need to take it out but... They might have found something else..."

"Dad..."

"I haven't told your mom yet, it's probably from my days in the army when I... Lost my way."

Finn felt numb. Yes, he was terrified of his dad, mostly because Finn had turned out to be so different from him and the last thing he wanted was to mess it all up. By being so different.

"What are you saying... You might or not be sick?" Finn chocked out. Chris nodded.

"You want me to come with you. I know you won't tell mom until you're sure because she worries too much but... I could go.."

Chris moved his chair aside to stand, he reached for Finn who was steel hard on the chair. He moved up as Chris offered him his arms. "It will be okay Finn, it's going to be fine." Finn buried his face against Chris as small sobs began to escape him. "I'm not going anywhere..."

"I'm sorry..." Finn chocked out. "You should be the one..."

"Finn, it's fine, I love how you're not afraid to be scared, unlike me..." Finn lifted his head as Chris cleaned his eyes softly. "I just want you to be happy Finn, because I love you."

"I love you too dad."

"Daddy's home!" Jack roared as soon as Finn walked trough. He caught him swiftly.

"Hey buddy... You smell good. Did you take a bath?"

"Mommy made me." Jack pouted as he wrapped his arms around his dad's neck.

"I didn't make you mister!" Rachel mused. "You shouldn't be all dirty before dinner, it smells bad!" Jack smirked as he shared a glance with Finn.

"Hey babe." Finn leaned to kiss his wife softly on the lips. "How was your day?"

"It was good, I actually have something to tell you."

Finn frowned as soon as she mouthed later . "Now lets get ready for dinner."

"Grilled chessus!" Jack said excitedly. Finn rolled his eyes at the term.

"Right, it's my turn to make dinner..."

"It is.." Rachel said.

"So... We'll make something special then." Finn placed Jack on the counter. "Sandwiches anyone?"

"Finn?" Rachel had come from checking on the boys as she held Hannah in her arms. Finn was on the bed, his eyes focused on the computer. "Hey. What are you doing?"

"Nothing right now since the most beautiful girls just came to see me." He said looking up. Hannah began to reach for her dad as Finn set her safely between his legs. She'd began to play with his hand, pulling on his fingers."hey there baby girl, what are you doing?"

"She likes drooling all over daddy because he's so handsome." Rachel said playfully as Hannah had now began to put Finn's hand in her mouth. He lifted her up so she could be staring directly at him. Rachel watched as Finn laid back putting the baby on his chest and talking to her. "It looks like you guys are all set. Give me a second."

"Sure babe." Finn smiled as she moved to the bathroom to being her night ritual. When she came out, Finn had fallen asleep, Hannah on his chest. Rachel took Finn's glasses off gently and lifted a sleeping Hannah into her arms waking Finn up.

"I'll be right back, okay?" She placed the baby on the crib in he next room and the baby monitor near by and joined Finn on the bed.

"So about my news." She said softly cuddled on his chest. "I've given it a lot of thought and... I've decided I don't want to go back to work just yet." Finn looked down. "I just, you said it yourself. Life's too short and if it is then we don't have enough time too really enjoy having the kids for long... That's why I've decided to join Shelby in business." Finn looked utterly confused. "I'd borrow the small studio down the daycare to give singing and dancing classes... The kids have siblings so... I could make my own hours and have Hannah close in case something happens..."

"That's... A great idea Rach!" Finn said softly. "I'm sure your mom will love to have you around more."

"And I don't pay rent so that's great as well!" She agreed. Finn watched her share her excitement and decided that whatever he had to tell her, would have to wait.

Okay so I don't know what came over me! The characters took. Life of their own! My fanfic might just became longer! What do you think? What's going to happen with Chris? And Finchel have another hard decision to make as Cory's birthday approaches.

I do hope you liked the way I sort of honored Finn and Chris as dads! Thanks for reading and please review if you can :)
