I Am Who I Am

Chapter Five: Telling the Truth

                   

Last time we visited Lima, Chris told Puck his true identity. Finn and Puck rekindled their bro-mance. Finn put Quinn in her place when she confronted him in front of the Finchel daughters. Rachel wanted to rip Quinn apart. Then general Finchel fluff ensued.

Chapter 5: Telling the Truth

"Great Practice guys. I've got a treat for you all. Wednesday instead of game film we are going to have a special guest."

"Probably some lame ex wanna be like Krofsky's dad" Abrams

'No one good ever comes here" Lopez agrees

The rest of the team starts talking all at the same time and Puck yells "Enough! I would never bring in someone as lame as Dave Krofsky in when we got a legend from this town and school"

"No effen way" a linebacker named Johnson says

"It couldn't be" Smith replies.

"That would be like out of this world coach" Lopez contributes

"Alright settle down. As you know he just retired after winning his 4th super bowl last year and he went to this school. He was a good friend of mine and this Wednesday he has agreed to come talk to you Nancy's. Finn Hudson is going to be here. So practice Monday and Tuesday will be extra hard and extra long." Groans can be heard throughout the locker room.

"McMann you got anything" Chris freezes and looks at Puck. He wasn't sure about telling the whole team today. "Coach would it be alright if I saved it for after practice on Tuesday?" "Sure but Tuesday it is" Puck tells him. Chris understands that keeping this from his team any longer may jeopardize what he was trying to accomplish. "Tuesday" Chris confirms.

Finn returned home from dropping off Chris and talking with Puck. He was feeling good about it. He found Rachel in the kitchen making the kids lunch.

"Hey baby how did it go with Noah?" she asks without turning around.

I think he already knew, but he let Chris continue with the charade. He really likes him and they joke together. Talking shit. You know Puck always claiming I'm whipped like butter and Chris egging him on. Pretty much like old times" Finn chuckles thinking about the exchange.

"Well that's nice. He say anything else? His petite wife inquires. Finn knowing full well what she was asking decides to have fun with his wife.

"Nah, just football and stuff" Finn says trying not to chuckle when he sees Rachel straighten up.

"You know damn well Finn Hudson what I'm asking. Stop being so high school Finn and tell me what I want to know.

"You are so cute when I aggravate you" he says. "Fiin" Rachel whines "Rach" Finn retorts. Rachel huffs and calls the girls and Cullen for lunch. Finn chuckles then moves to hold his wife. He drops a kiss on her head "Puck moved out because she's psychotic. He gets his kids every other week. He is Noah again. He also said he'd talk to little Puck about pulling Bella's hair."

"See that wasn't so hard now was it? We should have him and the kids over. Check out Madison without the evil witches influence" just as she finished the sentence Isabella, Aiyana and Cullen walk into the kitchen.

"Who da wiches momma?" Cullen question. "Oh baby don't worry Momma was just pretending with daddy. There are no witches" Rachel recovers.

The Hudson's minus Chris finish up their lunch when Rachel gives Finn the look and he subtly nods in agreement.
