( 2 weeks later )
Rachels pov :
I sat in my room and got ready for my dads funeral. How could this be real? I thought. It can't be I'm going to wake up and this is going to be just some kind of terrible nightmare . I am going to wake up and go downstairs and my dads will be there . They'll be in the kitchen my daddy will be making breakfast and my dad will be reading the news paper and complaining about politics. I thought. This has to be some type of dream it just has to but I know it's not. I was in my room when there was a knock on my door. "Come in." I said. The door opened and it was Finn in a black suit and tie . "Hey are you ready? " He asked me. "I'll never be ready for this ." I said. He gave me a sympathetic look and gave me a hug , "Listen I'll be right next to you holding your hand being there for you okay. " He said and I nodded . "Now come here." He said and I took his hand and we went down stairs. 20 minutes later we arrived at the funeral home. Finn opened the door and helped me out I held his hand the entire time . We walked in and I had to greet people who knew my dads. People who I never met but we're friends of them and family. I had all the glee members there too and Mr.Shuester and Ms.Pilsbury. I was with Finn the entire time and then Carol and Burt , Finns mom and step dad came up to me and Carol looked at me and just gave me a hug and whispered , "I am so sorry honey." I smiled and said , "Thank you for being here. " I said . "I wouldn't miss it. " She told me. "I'm here if you need me ." She told me. "Thank you." I said and they walked in. I then looked and saw her and by her I meant Shelby. "What is she doing here ?" I asked Finn . "I have no idea ." Finn said . I was angry at her , after everything she put me through I didn't want her here. I walked up to her and said , "Get out !" I said angrily. "Rachel," she said calmly. "I want you out of here now you have no right to be here no one invited you." I said. "Rachel honey." "No get out now before I call the cops. You are nothing to me and I want you gone . " I said and then starred her down and without a word she left. We walked into the church and the priest started . He started to talk about my dads and their lives and he said something about birds or some kind of stupid metophor. Then he said , "Now we have Rachel Berry Hiram and Leroys daughter singing Make You Feel My Love which was Hiram and Leroys favorite song. " Everyone clapped and I got up and started :
( Rachel )
When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
(Tears came down Rachels cheek)
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I will never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
And I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
(Took a deep breath )
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love
(End song )
Everyone clapped for me and I was doing my best to stay strong I took a peice of paper out of my pocket went to the podium and started my ulagy . I wiped my tears and smiled, "I would like to thank everyone for coming I'm sure my dads would of love to see all of you here . Um my dads were two of the kindest men I have ever met they loved me and all of you . They loved eachother and they were best friends . I was so lucky to have them as parents..."
Finns pov :
"I was so lucky...to ...have them as parents...." I watched as Rachel struggled to talk through her tears so I decided to get up and talk for her , "I was so lucky to have them as parents they were always so kind to me and loving and funny . Their the ones who taught me how to sing and dance they always encouraged me follow my dreams and I love them for it. My dad Hiram was so funny he always made me laugh when I was sad , he used to dress up like a clown for my partys as a kid. He would always through a pie in his face. He always knew how to make the situation better . My other dad Leroy was the one who always knew what to say . He was kind and protective of me and he would always tell me to never give up on what I wanted. He love to sing and watch movies with me. He taught how to ride a bike and braid hair he always wanted the best for me. My dads were the best people I knew . They were kind , and loving, and thoughtful. They only wanted the best for me . " Rachel wiped her tears and took a breath as I continued. "I loved my dads and I know they loved me and I can't help but know that their up their in heaven watching over me , probably watching Yentle or something with Barbra Striestand in it . " Everyone chuckled and then I took Rachels hand and we sat down as the priest said a prayer . Rachel held my hand and put her head on my should and cried.
