This week was the week that we'd all been waiting for, our chance to prove ourselves and win Nationals. All of our hard work had led to this moment and we were all nervous but excited about what was to come. We were heading to LA for the competition, my Dad was one of the chaperones and Emma was supposed to help him but couldn't travel because of the big news that they had found out, telling me as soon as I got home from school.
She was pregnant. At first, I had been worried about them having a baby, but I took Sam's advice and talked to them about my doubts. It was stupid, I had thought that they were having a baby to replace me, to start their own family when I moved away for college. Dad reminded me that a baby wouldn't be there to replace me, it was an addition to our family and he told me how excited he was for me to become a big sister. That changed my opinions of the new arrival because now all I could think about was being the best big sister to my little brother or sister.
We dragged our suitcases into the choir room because we were going to have a quick meeting and then head to the airport. Sam was being really quiet, and it made me wonder if he was overthinking everything, he wanted us to win this competition more than anyone and maybe the stress was getting to him. I was about to sit down, when my Dad appeared, calling Sam into his office. Tina raised an eyebrow at me, probably thinking that I knew what was going on but I didn't; so, I just took a seat next to Kitty and started talking about what Nationals was like.
It was weird to think that so much had changed since last year, we were a completely different team and even though it hadn't been easy for us to get to where we are now, we were still heading to Nationals. Kitty had so many questions about what the competition would be like and how big the stage would be but I couldn't answer her, last year we went to Chicago and this year we were going to LA; completely different places and I didn't know what to tell her. We were all nervous but we were all desperate to win, we didn't want all this hard work to be for nothing.
"We just wanted to come in and say that Finn really cared about you guys." Burt explained, walking to the middle of the choir room as Dad and Sam came out of the office. "More than you know."
Carole nodded. "Finn always said that winning Nationals was the greatest accomplishment of is life. But I honestly believe that coaching you guys to winning would have meant even more to him."
"Now, we're not saying go out there and win it for Finn. That wasn't his style."
Sam sat besides me on the front row, he was still solemn looking and I wondered what my Dad had said to him but I also knew that bringing up Finn was one way to make him emotional. He sniffled, trying to hold back tears as we all thought about Finn, so I leaned over and took his hand in mine. Squeezing it gently, to let him know that I was there for him and that we would do this together, we would make him proud together.
Burt cleared his throat. "What Finn would have said was this is the time of your lives right now. You're never going to forget it and, in a moment, it's all going to be over."
