No Strings

chapter 32

"Finny! Kurt!" Carole said excitedly when she saw both of her son's.

"Hey guys." Finn and Kurt said as they hugged both of their parents.

"Where is my beautiful granddaughter?"

"She's at home with Blaine. They both couldn't wake up."

"Where's Rachel?"

"She's at rehearsal. Besides, I was hoping just us four could have breakfast together. My treat."

"Finny, I couldn't possibly-"

"Mom."

Carole rolled her eyes before smiling, "Well, if you insist."

"Great, let's go waffle house is only ten minutes away."

As Finn said, they pulled up to Waffle House ten minutes later.

"So, have you guys thought about retiring and moving out here? Kurt and I decided that we'd share the profit of the house and we looked at some house in the Hampton's close to the beach that we think you two would love."

Carole sighed, "Burt and I talked and we think it would be a great idea for us to finally retire and be close to you both."

"Really?" Kurt and Finn said excitedly.

"It took a lot to convince her it's time, but she eventually agreed after one long night at work. I'd have to make occasional trips to the shop, but I found someone very trustworthy to manage the shop for me."

"Yay! I'm so excited, I can't wait to tell Blaine."

"Speaking of your little family, I know you said there was a mix up with some paperwork so you couldn't fly out to get him Wednesday, but I'm getting impatient."

Kurt smirked, "Soon, mom, soon."

Carole sighed and looked at Finn, "And you, when are you going to give us some grandbabies?"

Finn sighed, "Must you bring up me having kids all the time?"

"Yes, Kurt is about to have his second and you don't even have one, I'm not getting any younger."

"Rachel and I aren't even married, yet. Aren't you the one always saying I shouldn't have a child out of wedlock?"

"Yes, and I still stand by that, which bring me to my next question, why aren't you and Rachel married, better yet engaged yet?"

"I don't have a ring yet."

The table went quiet as they all stared at Finn. None of them were expecting him to say that, obviously.

Starting to feel a little uncomfortable Finn started to look around for their waitress, "Excuse me, ma'am, can we order now?"

The waitress nodded and took out her notepad to take all of their orders before going to the back.

Finn rubbed the back of his neck and cleared his throat, "Can you guys stop staring at me? It's making me highly uncomfortable."( this doesn't sound like Finn)

"Finn, have you been think about proposing to Rachel?"

"Yeah, not now, of course, but I know I want to eventuallypropose to her. I love her and….I just really love her," Finn said nervously and ran his fingers through his hair.

Carole smiled and looked at Burt who smiled back at her and shrugged. Carole looked back at Finn, "I'm happy for you, baby. I won't ask you about this again for the next two months or so."

Finn laughed, "It's better than nothing," Finn looked over at Kurt who was still looking at him critically.

"We'll talk later," Kurt mumbled before listening to whatever Carole and Burt were talking about.
