Chapter 38: Future Plans & Tissues

Disclaimer: Don't own glee,

Rachel's POV

I woke up with the worst headache, and stomach ache possible. It was Monday and my dads came home late last night but I still wasn't feeling good. I decided I wasn't going to school because I didn't want to risk getting anyone else sick.

I felt Horrible and didn't even feel like getting out of bed. So I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and quickly composed a message to Finn.

"Finn, I'm really sick and I'm not coming to school today :( , I really hope you don't get sick too. I mean we were involved all weekend, so be on the lookout and drink a lot of fluids. Love you xoxo"-R

"Awe babe, I hope you feel better! I'm feeling okay, I do feel a little off but I just figured it was normal. Ill go to all your classes and get your work and bring it over after school. I hope you feel better baby"-F

I close my phone and slowly got out of bed to tell my dad's that I'm not going to school.

"Dad, daddy" I said quietly walking into the kitchen

"What is it Pumpkin?" My daddy asked rubbing my back

"I'm not going to school today I'm not feeling good, Finn will get my homework" I said

"Oh, well what did you do this weekend to make you feel sick?" My dad asked making me think of exactly what I did, which I wasn't going to actually say.

"Um, I hung out with the glee club, and went outside for a run. Yes that's it I went for a run in the cold, I must just have a cold or something!" I said making an excuse.

"Oh, Okay! Well did you see Finn, how is he feeling?" My dad said touching an uncomfortable subject.

"Um, he said he's fine, and yeah I saw him with the glee club on Saturday" I said rubbing my head.

"Okay sweetie I won't ask anymore" he said blushing "Just text him and tell him to take some medicine because he could be getting something soon, you know how flu's spread" My dad said making it awfully uncomfortable

"Got it" I said turning and leaving fast. I don't think my dads could make it any more awkward or weird. They have both told me on different occasions that they still don't approve of what Finn and I do, but that's not stopping me. The only thing that is, is this stupid cold.

Finns POV

I really hope I didn't get sick, I mean the chances were very low that I wouldn't get sick but I don't really want to explain to my mom that Rachel and I were both sick. And I couldn't fall behind in school if im truly serious about my grades which I am. I have been trying since the beginning of the year to really pull up my grades so I might have a chance at New York. I know that's what I want to do and I know that's what Rachel secretly wants me too do even though she wont say so. I think she doesn't want me to be pressured into going with her.

But truth is I don't think I'd be able to break-up with her, and I don't think both of us could handle long distance seeing as both of us are the jealous type. But I'm curious to see how it works out for me, I know Rachel has her life set up but I don't. I have her and that's all. I don't really want to make Football my career and I'm not good at much else but I do really like Teaching. Mr. Shue has been a great role model and has inspired me in many ways which I think was pretty cool, I want to inspire someone.

Maybe I could look into that, I could always talk to Miss. Pillsbury I mean she does have brochures on everything and I mean everything.

"Finn" I heard bringing me back to reality to see Quinn coming to my locker

"Where's Rach?" She asked alone, which was weird she was normally with Puck.

"Um, She's sick. Puck?" I asked curious to where my best friend was.

"He's sick too....hmm. that's weird, you don't think?" Quinn asked rolling her eyes.

"No, that's a stupid question Quinn. I'm trying not to be the "jealous-type" anymore and Rachel loves me and Puck loves you, theve been down that road 1 to many times. Not going to happen again." I said shutting my locker.

"Yeah, you were always the jealous type" She said laughing and walking to glee with me.

"What does that mean?" I asked jokingly

"You know, you would always stare at me when I was with Puck or Sam-" She started

"Yeah, lets not bring up our history..." I said quietly "We don't need to go down that road for a third time" I laughed awkwardly

"Oh, Finn. I don't like you like that, silly" She said playfully punching my arm witch was awkward also.

"" I said as he entered the room

"yeah Finn?" He asked

"Rachel isn't here today shes sick and I was wondering if it was cool if I went to talk to Miss. Pillsbury"

"That's Mrs. Shuester to you!" He said excited

".God!" Santana said

"You Proposed finally?" Mercedes asked

"Yes, And she said Yes!" Mr. Shue Said

"If you need a wedding planner, ill do it for free! That and makeovers is like crack!" Kurt said clapping his hands together.

"I Think I want the Glee-Club to preform at the wedding" Mr. Shue said

"Were In" Taylor said

"Congrats, " I said patting his back and leaving to go see her.

I walked down the hall and it felt like almost slow motion my head was starting to hurt which I knew wasn't a good sign, and my cheeks felt warm. I had to power through and at least make it threw a little bit of school.

I knocked on her door and she waved me in.

"Hello Finn, what brings you in?" She asked very happy and excited.

"Congrats to you and !" I said sitting down

"Thank you" She said smiling brightly

"Well I do have some serious questions about jobs in the future" I said

"Alright what were you thinking about Football?" She asked cleaning a pencil.

"Um Actually no, I want to keep playing but I want an actual profession when I'm older like an actual job. I was thinking about teaching." I said slowly

"That's an excellent idea Finn, I think you would be very good at that. What subject?" She asked looking up at me.

"Music, that's what im best at and its what I love the most. And I think I could be really good at it" I said

"It seems like you don't need my help and you know what you want!"

"Well I just thought of it and wasn't sure if it was even a good idea." I said

"Finn, any idea is a good idea. Keep thinking and doing research" She said and on that note I thanked her and left.

I felt better after talking to her but I still was feeling really sick. I didn't want to text Rachel and tell her I was going home early because I figured she would be asleep but I was going to stop and get some soup for both of us.

I went to the office and got a note to leave and went to Rachel & Mine's favorite deli that sold Vegan & Non-Vegan soup. I grabbed 2 cups and was on my over to Rachel's House. By the time I got there I had sneezed about 30 times. Which was never fun. I pulled up to Rachel's House and rang the doorbell.

"Hello Finn" Rachel's Daddy said "Sick too?"

"Yes, I think your Daughter gave me something I came home early and stopped to get some soup for her, is she here?" I asked

"Yeah, she might be asleep though" Leory said.

"That's fine, I might join her if that's okay I'm really tired and sadly locked out of my house" I said knowing that both Burt and Mom were at work.

"Of Course that's fine Finn, your both sick anyways, go on up and ill put your soups in the fridge for later" He said taking the package from my hand

"Thank you" I said walking up the stairs to see Rachel Curled up on her bed her nose red and her eyes puffy with tissues everywhere and the Credits to "Hello Dolly" playing. I should have known she'd be watching Barbra.

I curled up right next to her and rested my head on the fluffy pillow available next to her, I don't think she heard me come in because she didn't stir at all.

Rachel's POV

Im so tired, I have been watching "Funny girl" & "The way we were" all morning. I wasn't feeling better at all and just wanted to sleep but with my nose so nasally I could barley breathe which made sleeping almost impossible. When I finally fell asleep on my bed it felt like I was sleeping forever.

I slowly opened my eyes to see the clock on my nightstand reading 12:15 p.m. I was so hungry. Then I felt something, it was a lite pressure weighing my bed down, I turned quickly out of fear and saw a red faced Finn laying asleep with my favorite bear that he had won be at a carnival the summer before.

He must have noticed me starring because he slowly opened his eye and pulled me by the waist closer to him.

"Hey" I squeaked out before sneezing "When did you get here?"

"Around 10, thanks for getting me sick" He said holding my hand close to his cheek.

"Your Welcome" I said quietly resting my head on his chest.

"I got you something" he said into my ear

"What?, I got you sick" I laughed a little

"Yes, but I brought you your favorite Vegan soup" Finn said and i kissed my cheek in return

"thank you, Ill go eat it now" I said crawling out of bed slowing showing her bunny pajamas.

"Sexy P.J.s babe" Finn said quietly rubbing my head

"Do you want food or not Hudson?" I asked leaving the room and he followed behind of course.

I heated up my yummy soup and sipped it slowly, it was my favorite and Finn knew I would pay him back later for his surprise.

"Sorry for getting you sick" I said throwing away my trash

"Its cool, I get to spend a couple days in bed with my girl and watch some sort of great musical right?" He chuckled

"True" I said pulling him onto the couch to rest in the blankets

We were laying on the couch and just talking until I said.

"Rachel, there are a couple of things I need to talk to you abou-" Until I looked down to realize that Rachel was no longer listening and to busy dreaming. We had a couple of days to talk though right?

Review, and I know it was short sorry! Better than nothing though!
