**Hello everyone! So I thought that I was done with this story, but apparently I wanted to see where they ended up. Here is a little look into the future. Enjoy**

Rachel

Rachel stood in front of the mirror starring at the counter. It has been a crazy couple of years. After Ethan's birth, she finally accepted her entrance into NYADA. It was difficult at first, trying to balance motherhood with her schooling, but Finn was amazing with Ethan. At first, she was afraid that going to school would cause her to miss out on Ethan's childhood, but she didn't need to worry about that. Finn would bring him to the campus during her lunch periods and would sometimes surprise her in between classes as well. She had to work hard to keep up with classes and the performances that she was awarded, but it was all worth it.

It was her performance in the winter showcase her junior year that caught the attention of Alec McCarty, a very in demand Broadway director. He offered her a small role in his production of Rent which eventually led to her taking over the role of Maureen Johnson. It wasn't her ideal role, but she was happy to be on Broadway at all, especially since she was still in school. Her graduation had led to her landing the role she had been dreaming of for years, Fanny Brice in Funny Girl.

Finn had been really supportive of her over the years, but it wasn't always easy. When Ethan was nearly a year old, Finn became restless. He loved being a stay at home dad, but it became apparent that he wanted something more to do. It put a strain on their relationship until Kurt talked him into taking online courses. It ended up being what he needed. Rachel would take care of Ethan at night while Finn worked on school and they finally found a good balance. He even began giving drum lessons to some of the local kids which gave him a small income. Teaching seemed to come naturally to Finn and it made Rachel happy to know that he was doing something that he loved.

She still kept in touch with some of her glee club friends, but other than Kurt, Santana, Quinn, and Puck, it was mostly through facebook or watching their careers in print. Mercedes was touring a lot since her record went platinum. Artie ended up at UCLA after he graduated and last she heard he was working as an assistant to some small time director. Tina was working toward her doctorate in psychology at Berkeley. Brittney and Santana ended up breaking up when Brittney moved to L.A. The others were scattered across the country and it was hard to keep track of them all.

Quinn has been working hard on her law degree, and got engaged to her longtime boyfriend a few months ago. Puck moved to New York two years ago to try his hand at play writing, but ended up starting a band instead. They play at a local bar where he works part-time as a bartender. Blaine, Kurt, and Santana are all living together on the Upper East Side. Kurt's internship at Vogue has led to a wonderful career in fashion. He is a fashion reporter, but is currently working on launching his own line with Blaine. Santana is starring in an off Broadway production of West Side Story that is earning rave reviews.

Her reverie was broken by the sound of little feet rushing past her door followed by her husbands louder steps. The sound drew her from the room she shared with Finn and pulled her in the direction of their son's room. Laughter could be heard coming from the door that was left slightly ajar and she peeked inside at her boys.

Ethan was squirming on his twin bed with Finn looming over him, tickling his sides. It was a common sight and it always made her giggle to see them at play. "Daddy! Stop!" Finn's hands stilled and the laughter turned to light giggles.

Rachel could see Finn trying to put on a firm face, "Maybe next time you'll listen when I tell you to do something."

Ethan crawled onto Finn's lap, "I will daddy." Rachel was about to push the door open and announce her presence when Ethan's voice quieted, "Daddy? Bobby said that you're part robot because you have a metal leg. Is that true?" Rachel stilled. Ethan had never questioned them about Finn's prosthetic before and she was worried that it might make Finn uncomfortable. She didn't have anything to worry about.

His laughter was strong as he answered their son, "No buddy, I'm not part robot. I was in the Army while mommy was pregnant with you and I ended up getting hurt. The metal part of my leg helps me to walk."

Ethan's voice was timid as he asked another question, "Does it still hurt?"

Finn cuddled him closer as he answered, "Sometimes, but it doesn't hurt much."

She must have made a sound because Finn's eyes flew to hers and he gave her a bright smile. Pushing the door in she joined them, "Is this a private party, or can I join?"

"Hi, mommy. We were having a man talk, right daddy?"

Finn pressed his knuckled lightly into their son's hair and gently rubbed, "Right buddy."

"Well, it's time to get ready for bed, buddy. Did you want me or your daddy to read your bedtime story tonight?" she questioned.

He seemed to contemplate his answer for a moment, "Can daddy read to me tonight? I want him to read the three billy goats gruff and he does the voices the best."

"Alright sweetheart. Why don't you brush your teeth and get your pajamas on and daddy can read your story?"

Ethan nodded his little head and moved to hug her on his way to the bathroom, "I love you mommy. Good night."

She squeezed him gently, "I love you too. Good night, buddy."

Finn lightly pecked her lips when he moved to follow Ethan. She decided to wait for him in their room while he put their son to bed. She was a little nervous about her news, but she knew that everything would be okay. It didn't take long before her husband entered their room with a content smile on his face. She really hoped that she wouldn't ruin it.

He collapsed on the bed next to her causing her to giggle. "Finally got him to sleep. Just think, in a few weeks he'll be starting kindergarten. Does it seem like time is flying by a little too fast to you?"

She sighed, "Yes, it does."

His hands covered her own which she had been nervously wringing. He stared up at her questioningly, "Is everything alright, Rach?"

She couldn't sit still anymore so she got up and began pacing, "Everything is fine, well, I think it's fine. I know that Ethan is finally starting school, and it's probably really bad timing, but..."

He sat up and stopped her pacing by gently grabbing her hips and pulling her to him, "Can you please tell me what is going on?"

She closed her eyes for a moment to gather her strength, "Finn, I'm pregnant."

It seemed to take a moment for her words to register, but when they did a smile broke out on his face and before she knew what was happening, she was being twirled around in the air. Her answering smile was so wide it was almost painful, but she didn't care. "We're going to have another baby!?" He pulled her in, kissing her hard for just a moment before breaking away again, "I love you so much."

Happy tears were falling and her voice was a little watery when she replied, "I love you too." She stared deep into his eyes and asked a question that she was sure she knew the answer to, but wanted to hear him say it anyway, "So you're happy?"

He sat back down on the bed, once again pulling her toward him so that he could kiss her flat stomach, "I'm so happy." He gently kissed her belly before whispering, "Hi, baby."

Her life really hadn't turned out the way she always dreamed, but she had to admit that it was so much better than she could have ever hoped for. She had a loving husband, a wonderful son, amazing friends, a career on Broadway (which had always been a part of the plan), and soon she would have another baby to love. If there was one thing that her life had taught her, it was that dreams were selfish desires. They are good to have because they give you something to reach for, but you need to be open to life's little detours.
