No Strings

chapter 9

Rachel woke up the next morning and immediately groaned. "I can't believe I got drunk off of wine." Rachel mumbled to herself.

When she opened her eyes she immediately regretted it since as soon as she opened her eyes she got nauseous. She groaned and rolled over and that's when she noticed Finn wasn't laying next to her.

She lifted her head and frowned, "Finn?" She turned her head and that's when she saw the sticky note on his pillow. Rachel sat up in bed and read the note:

Rachel,

Good morning sleeping beauty! I hope you aren't feeling too bad this morning. Anyways, I didn't want to wake you because you looked so peaceful and I knew if I woke you up you would probably curse me out so I wrote you a note instead. I made you some coffee, it should still be heating on the coffee maker and I put a bottle of ibuprofen next to it. If you want breakfast you can help yourself to anything in the kitchen, I should be back from picking up Michele at about eleven o'clock, maybe earlier.

-Finn

Rachel smiled at the note despite her enormous head ache and looked at the time. Rachel rolled her eyes seeing it was ten thirty and Finn would be back soon.

She sighed and got of bed and decided to go to the kitchen to make herself some coffee and could have melted when she started drinking her coffee, "This is so good." She whispered before taking out two pill and downing them with her coffee.

"Rach?"

Momentarily startled by the voice Rachel closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead, "In here." She said groggily.

Finn laughed at her appearance, "You look horrible."

"Thanks." She replied with sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"Anytime," Finn said with a smile and walked over to her to feel her forehead, "Do you feel any better?"

"Yeah, thanks to the pills and coffee. Thank you for that."

"No problem. I know how you feel...though I've never gotten drunk off of wine before."

Rachel nudged him in the stomach, "Where's Michele?" She asked just as the two year old came running into the room.

"Hey Wachy!" She yelled brightly.

Rachel winced at how loud she was, but could help but smile at the girl because she was so cute and only two years old, of course she will be loud, "Hey Michele. How are you this morning?"

"Goood!" She said and motioned for Finn to pick her up.

Finn picked her up, "Can you tell Rachy what we are doing to day?"

"We jabiru ncfjdkj zoo!"

Rachel laughed at the slight baby talk Michele had, "Oh really?"

Michele nodded enthusiastically before turning to Finn, "I hungy."

"Do you want me to make breakfast?" Rachel asked Finn.

"No, you go lay down. Me and my girl got this, right?" Finn asked and held his fist up for Michele to give him a fist bump.

Rachel smiled at them, "Well, I'm going to go lie down for a little bit."

"Okay, I'll come get you when breakfast is done." Finn said as he started taking things out of the fridge. Rachel nodded and walked into his room.

"Rach, breakfast is ready." Finn whispered as he caresses her face, "Babe get up."

"Hmmm?"

"Breakfast is ready."
