Remember When I Loved You?

Chapter Three

Rachel

"Finn, hi." I smiled. He smiled and then looked at Julia, and you could tell he was thinking hard.

"Well hi there, little Rachel Berry. " he laughed, noticing she looked a little like me.

"Julia." I told him.

"That's a pretty name." he said, examining her.

"Well thank you." I said. "Now excuse me, I have to get back to Santana." I said getting up. "Thanks for the talk Mr. Schue." I smiled at him and walked out.

Finn's POV

Julia looks a lot like I did when I was her age, it's obvious. Rachel seemed nervous around me, it wasn't that hard to connect the dots. I was sitting there thinking when my girlfriend Spencer smiled at me as she walked in the room.

"Was that the mother of your child who just walked out?" she asked.

"What?" I asked.

"I said, who was that woman who just walked out? She seemed nice, the little girl she had with her was adorable too." she said. My mind must be playing tricks on me.

"Uh, that's Rachel." I told her.

"Rachel Berry? The one you were telling me about?" she asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"You didn't tell me she had a kid." Spencer smiled.

"Well I didn't know either." I said in a whisper, so that she didn't hear me.

"I'm gonna go home and take a nap." she kissed my cheek and walked out, right as Mr. Schue walked out of his office.

"Is Julia mine?" I asked.

"Finn, I can't tell you that." he said. I got up and sighed. I walked to Santana's office. They were having a conversation and Rachel looked upset as she wiped blood off Julia's face.

"Julia, there's a reason why I say no running." Rachel said.

"I'll listen more, mommy." Julia said and hugged her. Rachel smiled and hugged her tight.

"Well if it isn't little Rachel Berry." I said as I walked in. Rachel smiled at me as Julia looked at me.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Finn Hudson, I'm your mommy's friend." I said.

"Oh." she said.

"Rach, can I talk to you?" I asked.

"Julia, stay here. I'll be right back." she said.

"Okay, I love you mommy." the little girl who looked like me smiled.

"I love you too." Rachel smiled back down and came out into the hallway with me. We walked to the auditorium in silence. I followed Rachel up on stage and she crossed her arms and looked at me.

"Go ahead, scream at me." she said to me.

"I'm not gonna yell. I'm just confused, and upset." I said. "Why didn't you tell me? Did you try?" I asked.

"I did try to tell you at that train station, Finn." she said loudly. "But you were so determined to send me off on a train to New York that you wouldn't listen to me." she said and rolled her eyes.

Flashback

"You don't understand, I'm preg-" I cut Rachel off.

"No, I do understand.."

Flashback Over

I put my head on my forehead and sighed, because she was right, she did try to tell me and I was stupid enough to not listen.

"When you sent me off I realized that you did it because you loved me, and that you were trying to do the right thing, and I decided to just let it be, and be happy that you loved me that much." she said. "But then you never spoke to me again." she said with tears pooling in her eyes.

"Do you want to know why I never called?" I screamed. She looked taken back but nodded. "Because I was in Fort Benning, Georgia." I yelled.

"You joined the army?" she asked in disbelief.

"I had to redeem my father somehow." I said and watched as she covered her mouth and tears rolled down her face. "She's mine, right?" I asked.

She nodded her head. "Mhmm."

"I'm sorry I yelled." I told her, she laughed.

"You don't have to be sorry, you have to right to yell all you want." she said and wiped her tears. I walked over to her and hugged her.

"Once I get a house and get settled down here, you can get to know her, if you'd like." she said.

"Of course." I said and let go of the hug. "You're moving back?" I asked.

"New York was more my speed when I didn't have a kid." she laughed, and I smiled.

"Cool." I smiled.

"Rachel?" Santana said walking into the auditorium.

"Yeah?" she answered.

"Julia said she's not feeling good, she feels warm too. I was gonna drive you guys back to your dad's house." she said. "Is that okay?"

"Yeah! I'll go grab my purse out of your office." Rachel said and left.

"You did the right thing, telling her about the army." Santana said to me.

"She was gonna find out one way or another." I sighed.

"I'm sorry, that you had to find out about Julia like this." she said.

"Nah. I guess I deserved it." I said.

"I'm ready!" Rachel said, walking in and holding Julia.

"Alright! Bye Finn." Santana said.

"Bye guys!" I sort of yelled, and watched them walk out.
