Author's Note: I didn't think I was going to expand this, but you all convinced me. Enjoy! I don't own Glee! If I did, I would discontinue it and put all my efforts in a Klainetastic spin-off series.
WARNING!!! Features noncanon couple that may be disturbing and awkward to some viewers.
"They named their kid after me."
Finn Hudson observed in awe at the couple, fighting back tears.
"Are you crying?" Elizabeth asked him.
"No." he squeaked. "It's just having someone name their kid after you is...well...huge."
"I know, bunny." she responded. "I landed the middle spot."
"Yes you did, Liz. Yes you did."
Finn gave his fiancée a loving peck on the cheek and wrapped his fingers in her long blonde locks. Elizabeth stroked his cheek delicately before kissing him deeply.
"Quit making out! I'm eating!" Danielle protested. "I'm trying to watch your step-niece and your granddaughter come out of a woman's crap hole!"
"I wanna see!" Croatoan screeched. "I wanna see!"
"No, you really don't." Finn protested.
"What am I missing?" Christopher asked.
"Dad!" Finn and Elizabeth exclaimed in unison.
There on the soft velvet couch sat Danielle, Elizabeth's right hand; Croatoan, the curious, powerful, surprisingly ancient Spirit; and Christopher, the father Finn had now just gotten to know over the one year in the Afterlife, one decade in the eyes of the living. They were all watching the graphic birth of Kurt and Blaine's first child over a bucket of popcorn. Finn still didn't quite understand their logic, but he soon will get used to it with help from Elizabeth, the only thing that truly makes sense to him in this world, the one thing that keeps him sane amoung the fantastical world of prophecies, witchcraft, fake memories of cheating on someone you physically can't cheat on, personifications of human relationships, fallen gods ripped in half and all that confusing crap.
And whoever this Rachel was that they whispered about when they think he isn't listening, she didn't matter anymore. Finn had Elizabeth.
"I need some air." Elizabeth whispered.
"Lizzie, I know what that means." Finn accused, grabbing her wrist. "I thought you were on the patches!"
"The patches aren't good enough, Finn." She argued, ripping her wrist out of his grasp. "Besides, I'm already dead! The worst of it has passed by already."
"But you promised!"
"You should know by now that I don't always keep my promises."
Finn took Elizabeth's left hand in his and stroked the diamond ring on her finger.
"You've kept this one." Finn told her intensely. "How is any other promise we make to each other any different than this one?"
His statement was met with a long pause, her glasz eyes piercing into his own, the feeling of home making his chest widen.
"Look at it this way." Elizabeth resolved, holding the pack of cigarettes on display. "These cigarettes are the reason I died."
"How is that supposed to make up for smoking now?" Finn protested.
"Let me finish, bunny. These cigarettes are the reason I'm here. They're the reason we're together. Is it so wrong to continue doing something that put you where you are now? Because here is pretty good."
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Croatoan cheered.
Reality came crashing in on Elizabeth and her intended. It was easy for them to forget that they weren't alone.
"I thought you were watching a woman giving birth." Elizabeth stated.
"She gave birth already." Danielle informed them. "Finn's so cute!"
"She's not as cute as me, right Dani?" Croatoan asked.
Dani didn't answer for ten seconds. She must have had a death wish.
"Right?!?!" Croatoan growled as her mismatched eyes, one of glasz and one of hazel, glowed in her fury, shaking the entire study as if an earthquake occurred.
"Of course, hon!" Danielle stammered frantically, trembling. "Um, no one dead or alive could ever compare to your cuteness. You are truly Kurt and Blaine's after all."
All was still as Croatoan's temper extinguished.
"Thank you, Dani!" She trilled, once again sweet as sugar cane with a small lisp, giving her a hug. "I'm sorry that I lost my temper. It was most inappropriate."
"It's all good, kid." Danielle replied, patting her on the back. "You're still getting your sea legs. Pretty soon, you'll be strong enough to make an entire colony disappear off the map like it never existed, just like you did in the 1500s when your daddies were murdered."
If Finn had heard this exchange before his death, he would have either laughed or ran away as fast as he could. He has changed a lot since then.
"Liz?" Finn asked. "Can you be honest with me when you answer this question?"
"Anything." She answered.
The pained look on his beloved's face made him regret the very next words out of his mouth.
"Who's Rachel?"
