Finns pov:
Today is Thanksgiving and the day I announce my engagement to Jill. Everyone is coming including Rachel and Sam. Ever since Rachel and I kissed things have been awkward it's like I can't even talk to her.  I made a huge mistake , but I just , I don't know what the hell got into me. Anyway I was in the kitchen getting the plates for dinner when Rachel walked in.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey." I said.

"Your mom said you might need some help so here I am." She said smiling slightly.

"Okay , you wanna peel the potatoes?" I asked her .

"Sure."She said and walked over and started.

"So." I said.

"So." She said.

"Rachel look about the other day..."

"Finn don't,  as far as I'm concerned it never happened , it was just an accident. " I said.

"Oh right never happened." I said kinda disappointed.

"Plus it helped me realize that I love Sam and we set a date to get married, next month. " She told me.

I looked at her shocked,

"Wow Rach thats, thats great. You two have been engaged for awhile." I said.

"Yeah I know but I have you to thank so , thank you Finn, for everything. " She said.

"Yeah of course and if you and Sam ever need anything just let me know." I said.

"Finn, come on we're practically family I mean we have a daughter you're always going to be in my life." She said.

"I know but, come here." I said and gave her a hug.

I stood there for a moment just holding her in my arms felt right and then it was over.

"Mommy , daddy, is dinner ready?" Annie asked us.

"Almost sweetie , hey you wanna help mommy peel potatoes? " Rachel asked her.

"Sure." She said and she skipped over to help her.

(Dinner)
We were all at dinner when I looked at Jill and smiled and then said,

"Okay everyone , I have an announcement,  well Jill and I have an announcement." I said.

"What is it Finn?" My mom asked.

"Well Jill and I have decided to get married ." I said.

They all looked at us suprised and then my mother smiled and said,

"Congratulations you two!" And she hugged us.

I smiled and we all hugged and then Rachel said,

"Speaking of announcements Sam and I have one as well, we finally set a date for our wedding and we will be getting married next month on Christmas." Rachel said.

Everyone smiled,

"Wow, Rachel thats amazing." Jill said and went over and hugged her followed by my mom and Rachels dad.

"Wow two wedding announcements in one day. I don't know what to say but congratulations!" Mr.Shue said.

(Later on)
I was outside drinking hot chocolate when Rachel came out with Annie. 

"Hey daddy." Annie said.

"Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" I said smirking.

"We were just going to visit Quinns grave before we left tomorrow. You wanna come?" Rachel asked me.

"Sure." I said smiling.

"I'll drive." She said and we got into her car with Annie and left.
(10 minutes later)
We arrived at Quinn grave and I could feel my heart pounding I haven't been here in years.

"Come on daddy. " Annie said getting out.

"I'm coming baby." I said and we walked over .

"Do you like the flowers mommy said they were Aunt Quinnies favorite. " Anna said.

"Well they were. Mommy and Aunt Quinn were very close." I said.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah we were best friends, all of us." Rachel said.

"Daddy how did Aunt Quinn die?" Anna asked us.

I looked at Rachel and she spoke,

"Well there was an accident and a very bad man hurt Aunt Quinn and Mommy but because daddy rescued me I lived but god decided to take Aunt Quinn and save her. " Rachel said.

"Wow, daddy you're like super man."Annie said.

"Yeah he is." Rachel said and smiled at me.

"Do you miss Aunt Quinn daddy?" Annie asked me.

"Everyday , but then I look at you and I her spirit in you." I said.

"Me too." Rachel said.

"I love you guys." Annie said. "You too Aunt Quinny." She asked.

I smiled and looked at Rachel and she took my hand and smiled.

"Come on sweetheart , let give your dad a moment alone." She told Annie and they left.

"Hey little sis, god it's been so long I'm sorry. I've been busy with a lot. I miss you Quinn, I miss seeing you every day. A lot has changed since you died, you have niece Annie, god she's beautiful just like Rachel so sweet. I'm engaged you know , to Jill , she's great and all but she's no Rachel. You probably know that though. I miss you Quinn , but I know you're here and I love you for it. Keep watching over me sis. " I said and left.

(Home)
We pulled up to the drive way and I had Annie in my arms asleep.

"Finn." Rachel said.

"Yeah?" I asked her.

"That kiss, it wasn't nothing was it?" She asked.

"No, it wasn't. " I said.

"I meant what I said tonight about you being my hero. If it wasn't for you I don't know what I do." She said.

I came closer and I was about to kiss her when the door opened and it was my mom.

"Oh sorry." She said smiling.

"Yeah whats up mom?" I asked her.

"Nothing, you two stay her I'll take Annie up." She said and took Annie in.

"We should get in its freezing out." I said.

"Yeah." Rachel said.

"Rachel." I said before going in.

"Yeah?" She asked me.

"You're my hero too." I said smiling and we went in.
