Matt's Apartment – Upper East Side – Wednesday Morning

Mercedes looked over at Matt as they ate their breakfast togehtr. Mercedes had stayed over at Matt's again. They were always spending the night at his, but Mercedes didn't mind because his apartment was a lot nicer than her's was. Mercedes and Matt had been together a month and that night he was finally meeting her friends. Mercedes was excited for her friends to meet Mattt but nervous at the same time because she knew how her friends could be.

"So, we're meeting at about 8 at the Coco's Bar on 7th street" Mercedes explained to Matt. Matt briefly looked up from the papers he was looking over.

"Yes, that should be fine, I have to have dinner with my folks first but I'll be there after" Matt replied before going back to his work. There wasn't a moment in the last week that Matt wasn't working so Mercedes craved anytime they could spend together when he wasn't, that's why she was so excited for them to be going out with her friends.

"Good, I'm excited for you to meet everyone" Mercedes grinned widely.

"I'm excited to meet them too" Matt replied, with a more subdued smile. Mercedes had already meet Matt's friends because he worked with most of them and he didn't see it as a big of a deal as Mercedes and her friends did.

"I have to get going, I've got someone in the office for a meeting at 9" Matt said once he had finished off his breakfast. He got up from the table as his housekeeper started cleaning things away even though Mercedes was still eating.

"I'll see you tonight"

Matt kissed Mercedes on the cheek "See you tonight"

Santana's Apartment – East Village – Wednesday Morning

At the same time that morning Brittany and Santana were also having brekasfast together before Santana left for work. It had also been a month since Brittnay and Santana had been seeing each other again but they will still trying to keep things causal. They both knew they only had problems when there was labels and comminemt involved. So, for the time meaning they both just decided to have fun together and worry about what it all meant later.

"So, do you wanna meet my friends for a drink tonight, we're meeting Mercedes new boyfriend" Santana asked as she finished off her bowl of cereal and put the bowl in the sink to clean up later. Brittany looked up from where she was reading the newspaper and looked at Santana in surprise. Since they had been seeing each other again Brittnay had yet to be in Santana's friends company.

"Really? Do they know about us?" Brittany wondered, before letting out a small laugh "Of course they do"

"It doesn't have to been anything Brittany, just a fun night" Santana reasoned with a shrug.

Brittany nodded "I'll be there"

"Good, see you later"

The Diner – Park Avenue – Wednesday Afternoon

A few hours later, the four women were at their table at the Diner. Mercedes was once again going over the night plans. She was starting to annoy their friends because it felt like that's all they had talked about fot the last week and usually meeting the partners for the first time wasn't as intense as Mercedes was making it out to be.

"So, you guys will be there for 7 won't you "Mercedes asked, worried.

"For the ninth-time Mercedes, we will be there" Santana sighed, rolling her eyes. Quinn sent Santana a look that Santana knew meant 'be more senstive'. For some reason, unknown to Santana, Mercedes was very worried about the first meeting between her friends and Matt.

"Okay good, Matt will be a bit late he has to have dinner with his parents" Mercedes added just as the waitress came over and handed them all their meals.

"You aren't having dinner with his parents as well?" Rachel asked, then smiled in thanks at the waitress when she put a salad and a fruit plate in front of her.

"He didn't ask, he said they are just going to discuss his new job and I would just be bored" Mercedes shrugged off, although the others could see she was more bothered by it than she wanted to let on.

"How nice of him" Santana quipped, rolling her eyes.

"But other than that, it's going well" Quinn wondered, after sending Santana anoter pressing look and kicking her under the table. Mercedes was eithering ignoring Santana's digs or was too busy worrying about the night that she didn't't notice them.

"Yeah, he's lovely. We go to great restaurants and to shows with his friends. He's different to the guy I knew before but still great" Mercedes explained, cautionsly.

"Different how?" Santana pressed, before taking a bite of her burger while Rachel stole some of her fries.

"He was a lot more of a free spirt before but he's parents are putting pressure on him to take over the business a lot more. It's good for him though he's becoming more responsible and being more committed" Mercedes replied, firmly but happily "He's already talking about the future we can share"

"It's only been a month" Santana said, as she slapped Rachel's hand away form taking more fries.

"Exactly and he already knows what he wants. It took months for me to get that kind of talk out of Sam" Mercedes argued. While Quinn nodded in agreement, Rachel and Santana shared a confused look.

"What is the rush though" Santana pressed.

"Well I'm not getting any younger and I need to think a lot more serious about my future"

"That doesn't sound like you" Rachel noted, Mercedes had always had big dreams and while they didn't always come to fuction for her, Mercedes never stopped believing that they would happen.

"It is" Mercedes nodded firmly, before looking at her watch. She wiped her mouth with the napkin on her lap then started to get up from the table. "Oh, I have to go, I told Matt I'd pick him up a new shirt from Bloomingdales"

The others al shared a confused look as Mercedes hadn't even finished her lunch yet, but before any of them could say anything Mercedes was throwing on her coat and grabbing her bag.

"I'll see you all tonight" Mercedes said, before rushing out of the door, without a second glance.

Santana looked at the other two, confused "What the hell was that?"

Finn's Office – Dalton Private School – Wednesday Afternoon

Finn was typing up his monthly report of the school news and activities that was sent to all the parents each month, when he heard a knock on his door. His secatary, Claire, had the day off so Finn didn't know who it could be as he wasn't expecting anyone.

"Mr Hudson, do you have a minute?" Mrs Johnson, the head of the school board, asked as she slowly walked into Finn's office.

"Sure Mrs Johnson, what can I do for you"

"It's about Bobby Carter" Mrs Johnson started as she took a seat at the other side of Finn's desk "He's been caught cheating on another English paper"

"Again, but he was doing so well after my extra tutoring" Finn sighed. Bobby Carter had been in Finn's English class since he was a freshman, he was a good kid but he always thought football was more important than his school work and for that reason he was always behind. Before Finn had become Vice-Princpal he'd helped Bobby Carter by doing extra turtoring with him so his grades would stay at C – averages and he could reamin on the team, he loved so much.

"I know but Miss Coulson who took over your classes doesn't have the time so he's been slipping again" Mrs Johnson explained. Finn felt guilty that nobody had been there to help Bobby but also annoyed that nobdy had come to him sooner, Finn knew this was how children could fall through the cracks at school when they felt teacher didn't have any time to really help them.

"What do you need from me, I can try to fit in some extra time for him" Finn suggested.

"I'm afraid because this is his third strike the school board are asking that you suspend him" Mrs Johnson replied. Finn rubbed his eyes, frustrated. That was the last thing Finn wanted to do.

"Suspend him? Are we really at that point, Bobby is a good kid" Finn argued.

"We both know that but the school has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to cheating, you were able to get him out of it last time but I don't think you can do that again" Mrs Johnson reasoned, he could see she didn't like it any more than he did "You of course have the final word but it doesn't bode well to go against the school board"

"I understand that Mrs Johnson" Finn relented with a sigh "When do I need to give my final word"

"As soon as possible, Bobby can remain in lessons until then but you really need to decide by tomorrow" Mrs Johnson answered, she got up from the desk, knowing their covnersationw as over as Finn had some thinking to do.

Finn nodded, sadly "Okay thank you Mrs Johnson"

Finn and Rachel's House – West Village – Wednesday Evening

That same night, Finn and Rachel were in their bedroom getting ready to meet their friends and Finn was telling Rachel about the conversation he'd had with Mrs Johsnon. Finn had been thinking about nothing else all day and if it wasn't such an important night to Mercedses then Finn would have asked if they could just cancel because he really wasn't in the mood for a night out.

"So, what are you going to do?" Rachel asked as she finished off her make up at her vanity while Finn sat on their bed putting on his shoes.

"I have no idea, Bobby is a good kid, he just need some extra help but I've been so busy with my extra work I haven't been there to help him" Finn admitted, sadly. While he'd thought about nothing else all day he was no closer to making up his mind on what to do. Finn knew what ever he decided, was going to annoy someone.

"This isn't your fault Finn, plenty of students who fall behind don't cheat"

"I know but I checked the policy and cheating results in a 4 week suspension, after that long Bobby will just give up. He'll feel like we've just given up on him, like so many other people have" Finn explained. Rachel finished off her make up then walked over and sat next to Finn on their bed.

"You're not responsible for just one kid Finn, you're responsible for 500" Rachel enthused as she came to sit next to Finn on the bed.

Finn sighed heavily "I know"

"I know you'll figure this out Finn, you always do. You'll find the right way to help Bobby while still doing the right thing" Rachel reassured him, she stroked his back in a comforting gesture then leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.

"I hope so" Finn replied, leaning into Rachel's touch "My job sucks"

"But you do it so well Finn"

"You ready to meet the others" Finn asked. He moved off the bed and grabbed his jacket while Rachel finished putting on her shoes and grabbed everything to put in her bag.

"Uhh I'm not sure I'm ready to meet Sir Douche" Rachel quipped

"What?" Finn laughed, he shut off the light in their bedroom then the two walked down the stairs ready to leave. They decided to order an Uber instead of trying to hail a taxi on a busy Wednesday evening.

"It's what Santana named him"

"And why does Santana have this opinion about someone she hasn't meet yet" Finn asked. Rachel explained to Finn the strange conversation they'd had with Mercedes that morning, including her rushing off to then buy Matt a shirt before she'd even finished lunch.

"That doesn't seem too bad, maybe Mercedes needs a more mature guy" Finn reasoned, the two reached the reception area and Finn cheked outside to see their Uber car waiting for them. He grabbed Rachel's coat and helped her into it.

"I know but it's just the way she was behaving, something about her is changing" Rachel sighed. She gave Finn a chaste kiss after he'd helped her with her coat then grabbed their door keys ready to leave.

"Mercedes has always changed a little when with a new guy, give it a few weeks and I'm sure she'll go back to normal" Finn replied, rationally.

"Yeah maybe you're right"

"Wow did saying that hurt" Finn joked as the two walked out of the front door.

Coco's Bar – 7th Street – Wednesday Evening

Two hours later, the group were all sat around a large table at Coco's bar, waiting for Matt to arrive. Mercedes was bouncing in her seat, looking over at the door every time it opened, hoping it was Matt while everyone else had their own conversations.

"So how much longer do we have to wait for this guy. Kitty is babysitting tonight and I feel like the weird 9th wheel" Puck complained. Puck and Quinn weren't comfortbale leaving NJ with just any babysitter and because they didn't have any family in New York and all their friends were with them Kitty had offered to babysit. Something Puck was now regretting as he was the only one at the table with out their partner there, something that had never happened before in all the times they'd all hung out.

"I'm sure it won't be much longer, he's already an hour late" Finn reasoned, glancing down at his watch. He put his hand on Rachel's leg in relaxing gesture and could hear Santana complaining to her as well about how long they were waiting for Matt. Luckily, Mercedes couldn't hear either conversation as she was too busy telling Brittnay about a fancy restaurant Matt had taken her to the week before.

"So I heard about Bobby Carter?"

"And I'm sure you've got an opinion" Finn noted looking back over at Puck. Puck was the vairty football coach so Finn knew he would have an opinion when it came to a player on his team.

"Bobby's a good kid… great kicker, we're going to need that come football season" Puck replied, reluctantly. Finn shook his head before taking a big gulp of his beer.

"Are you kidding Puck, you don't want me to suspend him so that you can keep your kicker" Finn snapped once he had finished drinking. While Finn knew Puck would have an opinion he'd hoped his friend would also know what a diffuculy decdion Finn had to make.

"You wanted my opinion" Puck threw his hand at Finn, before grabbing his drink "I wouldn't want to be you right now, either way you're going to annoy someone"

"Thanks for help Puck" Finn sighed rolling his eyes before taking another drink. He knew it wasn't a good idea but suddenly Finn wanted to get to drunk.

"Not to mention when Carter's father finds out you've suspended his son he will rain down on you like a mad man"

Finn groaned loudly "I need another drink"

"Is Finn okay?" Quinn asked when she noticed the tense conversation Finn and Puck were having as they got another round at the bar. They all noticed Finn had been tense since him and Rachel had arrived at the bar.

Rachel nodded "Just a bad day at wok"

"Ahh there he is!" Mercedes beamed, waving her hand at Matt who had just walked through the door "Matt!"

"Guys this is Matt" Mercedes introduced once Matt had reached them "Matt this is Rachel, Quinn, Santana and Brittany" Mercedes pointed out her friends then noticed the guys had walked back over to their table "Oh and this is Rachel's husband Finn, Quinn's boyfriends Joe and Puck"

"Quinn's baby daddy" Santana quipped quietly as Matt shook Finn's, Puck's and Joe's hand. They all took their seats at the table while Matt remained standing. He took off his coat then handed it to Mercedes who draped it over her chair, ignoring the shocked look Santana was giving her.

"It's nice to meet you Matt, Mercedes has told us a lot about you" Quinn said, smiling at Matt and Mercedes. Everyone else was unsure what to say, as the two newset ones of the group Joe and Brittnay just watched everything play out without saying a a word.

"It's nice to meet you all too. I'm sorry for being so late the dinner with my parents ran long. Why don't I buy you all a drink as an apology?" Matt replied, Mercedes beamed at him while everyone nodded and smiled in thanks.

"I'll help you" Mercedes jumped from her seat and joined Matt at the bar.

"He seems nice" Joe noted as wrapped his arm around Quinn and pulled her close. Brittnay nodded in agreement but nobody elsed looked convinced.

"Ready to mess with him" Santana smirked, rubbing her hands together. The girls had a tradition with every new partner that was brought into the group to fire uncomfrable questions at them and watch them sqirm. They girls had done it to Joe just two weeks before and to Brittnay when she had started dating Santana the first time.

"Mercedes begged us not to you know that" Quinn replied, giving Santana a pointed look.

"I thought it was a tradition I remember when you did it to me, I nearly teared up" Brittany joked.

"I had to rethink all my life style choices" Joe added with a slight smirk.

"I know but Mercedes begged us not too she said that Matt wouldn't like it. Apparently, he doesn't have that kind of sense of humour" Rachel explained, remembering the ten minute lecture they'd received from Mercedes about how Matt was a grown man who didn't deserve to be bullyed by them, the girls had agreed not to do just so Mercedes would stop lecturing them.

Santana groaned loudly "Boring!"

"Shut up, here they come" Quinn rushed out as Mercedes and Matt walked back over to the table each with a tray of drinks.

"Here you guys are?" Mercedes said as her and Matt passed everyone their drink.

"So Matt" Santana drawled, once she had got her drink. Mercedes held her breath, worried about what she was about to say "What is it you do for a living"

XoXo

Finn, Puck, Joe and Matt were all sat at the table, while the girls were in the bathroom. Finn, Puck and Joe all looked at each other while Matt scrolled through his phone unaware with how tense the others were as they all thought of something to talk to him about.

"Wanna a game of pool Matt" Finn asked. Puck and Joe both nodded, enthusicatlly, happy they would have something to distract the from the awakward ness fo the tbale.

"I'm not much of a player" Matt answered, finally looking up from his phone "So I hear you're a Vice Principal at Dalton. My entire family went there, it's very impressive"

"It can have its moments though" Finn admitted. Joe and Puck slumped back in their seats as finn explained the situation he was in to Matt without gaiving away any names. Finn didn't really want to tell Matt about his problem but he would talk about anything at that point so they no longer had to sit in silence.

"In my opinion Finn, you need to suspend that kid. He broke the rules and children need to learn that things like that are not okay" Matt lectured. Finn had spoken to Rachel, Miss Couslon and Puck about Bobby and not one of them had had such a harsh opinion about what he should do.

"He's a good kid" Finn argued. Joe and Puck glanced at each other, they could see how annoyed Finn was with what Matt had said.

"If he was such a good kid then he wouldn't have broken the rules in the first place. Kids need to learn this lesson early on" Matt reasoned before pulling his phone from his jacket pocket "Excuse me I have to take this"

Matt walked away from the table, he motioned his phone to Mercedes who was walking back over to the table with the others. She smiled at him and didn't notice the others roll their eyes.

"Santana was right he is a douche" Finn said, annoyed just as the girls walked back to the table by the look on Rachel's face she's heard him but none of the other girls had.

Puck and Joe both nodded "Agreed"

XoXo

While the guys played pool and Matt went outside to answer his call the girls remained at ther table and Mercedes saw it as a good opportunity to ask her friends about Matt, she was eager to get their opinions about him.

"So, what do you guys think?" Mercedes asked, smiling at her friends who all shared an unsure look. Brittnay leaned back in her chair wathcing it all unfold and wondering what the girls were going to say.

"He seems okay, it hard to get a read on him. He hasn't said much" Rachel replied. The group had been at the bar for almost three hours and so far the only conversation Matt had had was to tell Finn to suspend his student, something Rachel knew Finn was still annoyed about.

"He's spent most of the night on his phone" Santana added. Waving her hand at the window where they could see Matt pacing outside, his phone glued to his ear.

"He's really busy at work. He's trying to sign someone new to the label and its taking longer than he thought" Mercedes explained, worried. They others just nodded and each took a drink of their cocktails not sure what else to say. They got the impression Mercedes was going to defend what ever Matt did.

"He'll really is great, he's just what I need" Mercedes smiled, looking over lovingly at Matt who had finally finished his phone call and was walking back over to the table.

"What does that mean?" Santana asked, but before Mercedes could answer Matt had reached their table and put his hand on Mercedes's shoulder.

"Mercedes, are you ready to go, I have to do some work and I need my laptop" Matt said, already tyoing something on his phone with one hand.

"Yeah sure" Mercedes agreed, she got up and grabbed her bag while Matt helped her into her coat "I'll see you guys on Friday"

The girls were going out of Friday to celebreate fourteen years of being friends. They did it every year and called it their 'friendversary'. They had never missed one year and always did something big to celebrate. On Friday, thanks to Rachel's connections they had manged to get a table at the most exclusive restuarnt in New York and then a VIP table at the Rise Bar a new bar that had just opened in Gramercy Park, they girls had been looking forward to it for weeks.

"We have that dinner with the board members on Friday" Matt reminded her. Mercedes nodded at him then glanced over at her friends, who were looking at her expectedly. They had never cancelled before and they felt like Mercedes was going to be the first.

"Oh yeah, I'll have to miss Friday" Mercedes said. Santana almost jumped out of her seat to argue with Mercedes but Rachel's hand on her arm stopped her.

"Its fine we'll rearrange it" Rachel cut in, before Santana could say anything "Have a nice night guys"

"Nice to meet you Matt" Quinn added as Santana galred at Rachel for stopping her saying something to Mercedes about their Friday night plans.

"You as well" Matt replied. He took Mercedes arm and walked them out of the door. Brittnay watched them leave then glanced over at Santana.

"One… two… three" Brittany counted off with a grin, then pointed at Santana, who was still looking at the door Matt and Mercedes had left through.

"He's a Douche" Santana declared, loudly. Rachel and Quinn nodded in agreement then Quinn gestured to Brittany.

"Well at least we have Brittany back"

XoXo

Once Matt and Mercedes had left Santana and Brittnay decided to call it a night as well because Santana had court early in the morning. They were in a cab on the way back to Santana's apartment when Birttany glanced over at Santana who was staring out of the window, lost in thought.

"So, despite Matt being a … what did you call him?" Brittany asked waving her hand at Santana to cut in, Santana smirked slightly.

"Sir douche of the land of pretensece"

"Yeah that's it. Despite that it was a good night" Brittany laughed. She took Santana's hand and pulled it slightly so that Santana would turn and face her. Santana did so and smiled at Brittnay.

"It was yeah, my friends missed you" Santana smiled at her. Santana had hoped that meeting Matt would take the tension off them seeing Birtttnay for the first time as well but Santana's hopes were not needed as the group had welcomed Brittnay back like no time had passed and unlike with Matt there was no awkward or tense conversations between her friends and Brittany.

"And you"

"Why would they miss me?" Santana joked.

"You know what I mean?" Brittany pressed, playfully pushing Santana. Santana grabbed her hand and took it in her own and put it in her lap.

"I've missed you as well" Santana admitted, with a small smile "Happy now"

Brittany nodded, triumphantly "Yes I am"

XoXo

"So, that was interesting" Finn quipped as he sat back down next to Rachel and handed her another drink. While the others had all gone home, Rachel and Finn had decided to stay for one more drink. Finn wasn't drunk but he was close.

"Do you see what I mean though, its not him. It what she's like when she around him. Friday night is our sacred night. I almost missed Marley going in to labour because I was out on our anniversary night" Rachel argued. She was just as angry as Santana was about Mercedes missing their special night but she could tell from the look on Mercedes face tht she wasn't gong to cancel with Matt and there would be no point them trying to change her mind.

"I know I remember, I think that anniversary is more important than ours" Finn joked. Rachel leaned over and gave him a chaste kiss.

"I'd say it's equal" Rachel smiled before turning serious "You still worried about Bobby"

"I think no matter what I do, I'll be doing something wrong in someone's eyes"

"As long as one of those pair of eyes is not your own. You have to live with the decision you make Finn" Rachel said, she finished off of her cocktail then grabbed her bag and pulled Finn up from the table.

"Come on, I'll treat you to some ice cream" Rachel added. She grabbed Finn's coat and passed it to him before picking up her bag.

"I don't think that will work"

"How about ice cream and sex" Rachel offered, giving Finn a seductively smile as they walked out of the bar.

Finn nodded, happily "That might work"

Finn's Office – Dalton Private School – Friday Morning

Two days later Finn and Puck were in Finn's office wiaitng for Bobby Carter to arrive. After a lot of thought Finn came up with a solution that he thought benefited everyone.

"Mr Hudson, Bobby Carter is here" Claire said through the intercom in Finn's office

"Send him in"

"Hi sir" Bobby grouched as he walked into the office "You gonna suspend me"

"Sit down Bobby" Finn said firmly, he nodded his head towards the chair in front of him and Bobby quickly sat down, sensing his teacher's mood "I don't have to tell you that what you did was stupid you already know that"

Bobby nodded "I do"

"I looked over the English test" Finn continued, gently throwing the test paper onto his desk "You know this stuff Bobby, I know you do, which means you were just being lazy. Something I thought you'd got past"

"I have sir but Miss Coulson can't help me like you did" Bobby argued. Finn tried his best not to roll his eyes, Finn had spoken to Miss Coulson and she had told him that after Bobby had failed a test she'd offered to help him but they'd been an important game and Bobby said he didn't have time. Finn had had a meeting with Puck that morning and made it clear to his friend that he needed to keep a better eye on his players that were failing classes and not doing anything about it.

"That's not a good enough excuse Bobby, you could have come to me" Finn replied, shaking his head "I'm going to have to suspend you Bobby, starting today for four weeks"

"However, you are going to come here every day at 4 and stay with me for an hour and catch up on all the work you're going to miss as well as extra assignments I'll be giving to you" Finn explained, Bobby looked back up at his teacher and coach "Once the suspension has been lifted you'll do an exam, pass that and you can stay on the football team"

"Are you serious?" Bobby asked, looking between them both, even though Puck had yet to say anything. He was there no more to show Bobby that Finn had the coach's support on any decision he made about Bobby being on the team.

"I am but I have to see you putting the effort in, miss one day and the deal is off"

"And I'll make sure you keep up with your workouts, no falling behind anyone. You can't be lazy with the school work anymore. It's just as important as football" Puck added, determinedly. "If you miss one day of your meetings with Mr Hudson or your workouts, then you're off the team"

"I promise coach I won't let you down. I won't let either of you down"

"Okay, well you're suspension starts now, so you have to leave school now but make sure you are back for 4'o clock and don't think you can just mess around until then I've already spoken to your father and he wants you to go straight to his office" Finn said. He nodded towards his door and Bobby knew it was a sign for him to leave.

"Thank you Sir"

Bobby rushed out of the office and shut the door behind him. Finn let out a sigh of relief, the meeting had gone better than he thought it would.

"You're good at this Vice Principal Hudson" Puck said, slapping his friend affectionately on the shoulder.

The Living Room – Finn and Rachel's House – Friday Evening

Later that night Finn and Rachel were relaxing in their living room with a bottle of wine, some snacks and some relaity TV while Finn told Rachel about what he had done with Bobby Carter. Finn was pleased with how things had turned out and even more pleased that everyone else was happy with the decision he had made, including Bobby Carter and his father.

"I knew you'd make the right decision. You kept the school board happy, as well as Bobby and his parents. You are a genius my husband" Rachel praised with a large smile.

"I just hope it works out. And it means more work for me" Finn sighed, he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes briefly.

"You love it"

"I hope I made the right decision taking on this job" Finn said, worried. He grabbed the bowl of popcorn then handed some to Rachel before eating some himself.

"You did Finn" Rachel affirmed, she moved her legs underneath her and moved closer to Finn "If this had been someone else's decision they would have either not punished Bobby because of his father and he would have done it again or he would have suspended Bobby without any thought to his future. You made the right call and you can do that because you took this job"

"You're right. You are a genius my wife" Finn replied, happily. Rachel leaned her head on Finn's shoulder and the two watched a new episode of Cake Boss for a few minutes while they enjoyed their wine and popcorn.

"So, no anniversary night out" Finn noted. Rachel hadn't said anything about the dinner since that night but Finn knew that the plans probably hadn't changed.

"We're going to do it tomorrow instead" Rachel answered as continued to watch Cake Boss. They'd had to cancel on the restaurant and had decided to go for drinks the next day instead. Rachel and Santna weren't happy that they had lost the table at the restaurant but were glad they were doing something at least.

"You okay" Finn asked, he pulled Rachel closer to him.

"Mercedes seems happy and maybe you're right. Mercedes might need a more mature man, who knows what he wants and goes for it"

"Do you really believe that?" Finn wondered, suspiciously.

Rachel shook her head "Not at all"
