Rachel runs over to Jesse and gives him a hug, big enough to make Finn jealous, but not big enough that Finn wants to punch Jesse in the face. Yet. Then, Rachel runs into Santana's room, because she remembered she had to tell her something.
" Jesse St. James." Finn starts slowly, " I haven't seen you since we beat your lousy glee club at Nationals last year."
"Oh wait." Jesse replies snarkily. "Oh yeah! I remember! Then right after that you were about to marry the most beautiful and talented girl in the world, and you just kind of ended it. Didn't you?"
"Hey back off man, I did it for her. It was the best for her. We were kids! Anyway, it will happen again. She's my person."
"Were kids? Hudson, you still are but a child. You go to Lima Community College.You're a kid. You're a loser. Ha. Face it. You're not only a loser, but you're more than that. You. Are. A. Lima. Loser. And you will always just be a Lima Loser." Jesse half smiles. "Right now, you're a Lima Loser. But soon, you'll be a Lima Loser with out a girlfriend. Rachel is mine."
"That's not true. You're sleeping on the floor here right?" Finn pauses and points to Rachel's room. "Well guess what 'bud', Rachel's room? Yea, that's where I'll be if you need me," Finn turns and starts to walk towards Rachel's room.
"Well, Finn, if you wake up in the middle of the night, and Rachel's not there, this is where she will be." Jesse smiles and looks very pleased with himself.
"You better watch yourself St. James."
"Yeah, or what?"
Finn turns around to face Jesse, and grabs his shirt.
"Listen. I don't want Rachel to be bothered by our fighting." Finn lowers his voice. "Her opening night is soon, and as her boyfriend, I have to be there to support her." He pauses. "Wait, don't you live in the city? What are you doing here? Just stay at your own apartment."
"You want to know why I'm here? I don't live in New York. I am the coach of Vocal Adrenaline while I wait until I get accepted into NYADA, and once I do, I'll get her back. She. Is. Mine."

The next morning
-------------------------------------
Finn wakes up and turns to kiss Rachel and tell her good morning, but she's not in their room. Worried, he gets up to see if Jesse was right and Rachel actually just wanted to sleep with Jesse to make Finn jealous.
"Finn? What are you.....Are you watching Jesse sleep?"
Finn turns to see Rachel, standing in the kitchen, making eggs and bacon, and realizes that he is standing over Jesse, and Sam rolled up onto the floor. He must have fallen off of the couch, while he was sleeping. Finn kicks Jesse lightly in the side.
"Hey, St. James," Finn bends down and whispers to Jesse, "I guess you were right. You did sleep with someone." Finn laughs and Jesse sits up, realizing that he had his arm around Sam.
"Uhh...I thought" Jesse searches frantically for words. "Sam isn't Rachel."
"Finn, Jesse, I made you guys breakfast!" Rachel calls from the kitchen.
Jesse and Finn walk into the kitchen as if nothing happened this morning or last night. Finn sees Jesse looking right at Rachel and decides he needs to prove she is his.
"Good morning, baby. I'm so glad I'm here with you." He wraps his arms around her waist from behind and kisses the top of her forehead, and then he turns her around and kisses her passionately on the mouth, and of course she kisses him back.
"Finn, we have guests!" She says giggling, and lightly hits Finn on the hip with the napkin in her hand.
"I can't help it Rach, you're just so amazing. I love you." He says and she pulls him in and wraps her arms around him in a big hug that lasts for about two minutes.
"Oh, Finn. I love you too. So, boys, how many eggs do you want?"
"Two, please." Jesse says.
"I'll take four, beautiful." Says Finn, and when Rachel turns around smirks at Jesse.
"Finn Hudson." She says laughing. "You may not be able to dance, but I know for sure that there are four things you are great, no, amazing at."
"Oh, I want to hear this." Jesse says scoffing at Finn. "The guy goes to Community College!"
"Jesse!" Rachel says looking at him in disbelief.
"Just kidding!" He says fake laughing at his "joke".
"Anyway, those things are one: making girls want to melt when you sing, two: being a STAR quarterback..."
"Yeah in highschool! He couldn't get into college on any football scholarship did he?" Rachel gives Jesse a disapproving look. "Kidding!!" Jesse says and fake laughs again.
"Continuing- three: eating all you can eat and still managing to stay so sexy...." Jesse scoffs, but Rachel ignores him. "And four-"
"Failing out of the army! Congrats!" Jesse says.
"No. I meant four: through all of our ups and downs," Rachel wraps her arms around sitting down-Finn's shoulders and kissing him on the cheek, "making me love you forever and always."
"I love you too Rach. More than you know."
"Oh, that's not possible. I love you more! Alright boys, I made you breakfast, but tomorrow is opening night, and a girl needs her beauty sleep. Wake me up before lunch, Finny." Rachel kisses Finn on the cheek again and walks towards her room.
"I'll come with, Rach!" Rachel turns around and giggles. Finn stands up and pushes in his chair. Jesse gets up as well and stops Finn just as Rachel is shutting her bedroom door.
"Alright Hudson," he starts. " I'll admit. You won that battle, but there will be many more. This," he pauses, "Is war."

What Could Have Been
FanfictionSo, I think everybody knows about the tragic death of Cory Monteith, aka Finn Hudson. This is what could have happened (what I wanted to happen) if Finn/Cory had never passed, and he was in seasons 5&6 of Glee.
