COUNT ON ME.

Rachel picked up Diana and they went straight to Finn car which is a gray SUV. They were going straight to Lima. Blaine decided to go with them. There were in the road when suddenly Finn stop for gasoline. The gasoline was little full so they got in the line. They were waiting while Blaine looked at Diana who was awake playing with her toes. She looked back and saw Diana who was awake playing with Blaine then she look out the window and saw Finn dispatching the gasoline. Minutes later, Finn got in the car and drove straight to Lima which is like 3 hours drive. When they reached Lima, Rachel told him the directions, going through Lima Blaine was looking outside the window to see what it feels like to grow up in such a small town, as how Kurt, Rachel and Santana did. Rachel was telling them stories on where she would hang out with her friends when they was in school also showed them her high school the William McKinley in which she was bullied until it stop in high school, she also told them that she belonged to a Glee club in which they enjoyed their self singing, dancing even went to Sectionals which they won the 2 place, Regional in which they won the first place and Nationals which they won also in first place. They were so popular even the local news talked about them. She told them about the coach Sue Sylvester that always wanted to destroy the Glee club cause she didn't like the music that they were singing except for Christmas that they sang another song instead of Jingle Bells. She told them also about the Glee club teacher Mr. Schuester everybody loved him not only cause of the Glee club but because he was like a father that the students never had before. Arriving at Rachel parents house they saw a white car parked outside the garage.

"We are here," Rachel said when they reached her parents house.

They got out of the car and went to the door in which Rachel rang the bell. Minutes later, someone open the door it was Rachel dad.

"Hi, Rachel happy new year. Who are they? Come in." Rachel dad said.

"Hi dad happy new year too. This is Finn who I met at Time Square Garden he is the one on NBA. This is Blaine Finn's roommate. Diana is with Finn as you see." Rachel said going the house with them.

In NY, Kurt an Santana stayed home while they watch TV. They were watching Small Wonder marathon then they were going to watch Law and Order.

"Tell me, that they are going to stay together or not?" Santana ask Kurt.

"I think so. Tell me who did you met last night?" Kurt said.

"I met a girl who was dancing on the stage. Her name is Brittany, she is a professional dancer we totally hit it off. What about you? Kurt I saw you talking to the guy that carried Rachel and Diana to his apartment which he shared with another person." Santana said.

"Oh, that's Blaine. He is gay but he don't want nobody to know cause he is going to be playing Danny on the revival of Grease on Broadway. He is cute, his roommate is Finn, he plays professional basketball. He is the one with Rachel now" Kurt said.

"Broadway? You got a good man there. Kurt who could believe that last night we met the loves of our life in Time Square Garden." Santana said.

"Yeah, who could believe it." Kurt said.

In Lima, Rachel got in the kitchen with her mom who was getting the plates out from the cup board. While she was doing it she said, "Rachel, I´m sorry to talk to you like that. You didn't deserve it. You got a good guy out there talking to your dad. How did you met him?" Shelby said.

"Its OK, I thought you was drunk and waste after New Year event. Who? Finn he plays professional basketball he plays with New York Knicks although he will be traded soon between Chicago Bulls or Los Angeles Clippers. He is single, not gay like Blaine who is the guy with curly hair, he doesn't have a girlfriend, a wife, neither children. I met him last night at Time Square Garden before the ball drop." Rachel said.

"Yeah, I was drunk and wasted. New year party was amazing, oh! A professional basketball player, you know your dad loves that sport no matter who is playing especially when Chicago or Clippers play. That's good that he is going to be trade to play with those teams. Chicago needs to win another champion, while Clippers who had never won a championship needs to win. The harder team to beat is Miami. " Shelby said.

While in the living room they were sitting on the coach talking about everything especially sports, Hiram liked Finn a lot cause he is down to earth, nice, smart, not a womanizer, neither a stalker like the ex of Rachel who was a headache for Rachel and her parents. Hiram was impressed on the words he said then suddenly Rachel and Shelby came out of the kitchen and walked to join them.

"What you were talking about?" Shelby asked when she sat beside her husband.

"About everything, especially sports. Rachel you got a good guy here we talk about everything and about basketball which is my favorite sport. He told me that you both met at Time Square Garden last night, obviously I told him that your ex boyfriend treat you so bad, he is the worst person ever on Earth. I hope I don't see nothing from him, the worst that I don't like about him is that he was always beside or behind you in every activity and drunk. I hate him cause he wanted you to abort your own baby which I´m glad you didn't." Hiram said.

"Well, that's good you was talking to him. Yeah, we met at Time Square Garden, I think it was mine or Santana's idea to go to Time Square Garden to celebrate New Years Eve, which by the way we didn't had plans cause we 3 were single. By the way, dad Finn knows also that I want to be a columnist or a blogger someday cause I enjoy writing a lot. I want to write my story so people will identify with it, there is a lot of stories, as you know in one box I have a lot of magazines such as People, Teen People (don't even ask me why I read it) Cosmopolitan and others. Did you knew that Cosmopolitan apart from sex tips it appears real life stuff. Dad, I hope you support it cause Finn will support me. He has a friend who works in those magazines." Rachel said.

"Wao, I´m impressed that you wanna do that. But what about Broadway? don't you wanna be the next Barbra Streisand? Or even act on plays such as Funny Girl, Evita, Grease or even Hairspray. I didn't knew you wanted to be a columnist or blogger what inspired you?" Hiram said.

"Well, I change my mind I wanna be a columnist and blogger cause I enjoy writing a lot. I have been taken creative writing lately and I really enjoy it. About the money for the apartment I can get an internship and get paid. Well, lets see what inspired me. There is a lot of things that inspire me to be a columnist or a blogger, what is called bullying and teenage pregnancy which happens every year. Did you know that MTV has a reality show called 16 and pregnant and also Teen Mom. Did you knew that one of Teen Mom is in jail cause she beat the father of her child? Some of the fathers don't want to be responsible of their own kids so they leave them with their mother or their grandparent. That show always has drama. Well, if you don't support me, I will do it on my own way. Finn support me already" Rachel said.

"Well, you should have told me that you want to be a columnist and blogger. I will support you with one condition which is every article that you wrote on the magazine, can you send me the copy of the magazine cause I would like to read a lot" Hiram said.

"Thanks dad, I would dedicate myself writing a lot " Rachel said.

Minutes later they passed to the dinning table and have New Year lunch. While in New York, Santana got a text message from Brittany.

"Hey, Kurt Brittany sent me a message. Do you want to hear it?" Santana said.

"OMG What did she said?" Kurt said excited.

"She is inviting me over to a sleep over so we can know each other. I was gonna wait till Rachel come home. Who knows if she will sleep by Finn after what happened?" Santana said.

"A sleep over? That's amazing. Yeah, probably Rachel will come over or spend the night by Finn. Which by the way I need to call Blaine?" Kurt said picking up his phone.

"Wao, somebody is in love. Does he know about the photos that I found under your pillow?" Santana said.

"I like him. No, I didn't say nothing about the photos. I don't know what he will think about that. Maybe he will think that I´m obsessed about that." Kurt said calling Blaine.

Back in Lima, Blaine phone ring and he see is Kurt. He got up from the table and walks to the living room.

"Excuse me, my phone is ringing" Blaine said.

"Sure, you can answer in the living room" Hiram said.

Blaine walk out to the living room and said, "Hello?"

"Hi, Blaine this is Kurt. I was calling to see if we could hang out for a while" Kurt said.

"Oh hi, Kurt. I´m actually not home I´m in Lima with Rachel. By the way, nice town where you grew up." Blaine said.

"You are in my hometown? Did you like it? Did you saw my high school?" Kurt said when Santana appeared in the living room.

"Yes, Rachel told us everything, in fact we are at her parents house. Her parents seem nice, right now they are talking to Finn in the dinning room while we were eating lunch" Blaine said.

"OMG. Did you met her parents? What does Shelby think about Finn? What does Finn think about Shelby and Hiram?" Kurt said.

"Be quiet Kurt. Yeah, I met them. Shelby likes Finn for Rachel. Well Finn think that Hiram is amazing we were talking about everything especially basketball, in fact they are going to support Rachel in her writing thing. In the beginning Finn hated Shelby cause she said some bad stuff to Rachel but at the end they get along so good. You want me to tell something to Rachel?" Blaine said.

"Oh, that's great. Yeah, ask her if she would like to sleep by you all just in case the ex comes over there again. If its OK, I will send her the rest of her clothes by you all." Kurt said.

"Well, I will ask them right now. I think I will tell her cause she right now just ended the food I think they still talking. I will ask her" Blaine said.

Blaine got in the dining room and saw them talking as nothing, Hiram noticed that Blaine got in the dining room with his phone near his ear.

"Rachel, Kurt is on the phone. He wants to ask you something" Blaine said lending the phone to Rachel.

"Hey Kurt. What's up?" Rachel said.

"Hey diva. Blaine told me that you are by your parents with Finn and him. How are your parents, wish them happy new year by me. I got a question for you. Are you going to stay over by Finn apartment just in case the idiot decided to come back and do bad things to you and your daughter. Who knows if he kidnap and kill her which is the worst nightmare of every parent?" Kurt said.

"Well, I will ask Finn. Sure, I would like to stay in his pent house. Yeah, he lives in a pent house you should check it out." Rachel said looking at her parents who were in shock when they heard that Finn lived in a pent house.

"Pent house? Oh my god I need to visit it. He should live in a mansion or house. There is a lot of houses even in The Hampton. If he lives in Upper West or Upper East I gotta say he is so lucky that's where they filmed Gossip Girl." Kurt said.

"I know. His pent house is amazing has a private elevator, yeah he needs to have a house at the Hampton. I will go and pick up my clothes and even my laptop so I continue writing my articles or maybe stories. Can you have ready my magazines, laptop and my daughter stuff. Did the hater appeared there? Cause if he did tell him a message." Rachel said.

"For sure, I will have everything ready for you to come and pick it up. No, he didn't appeared if he appear what message you want to tell me" Kurt said.

"Tell him that he will never found me cause I move on with my life, I have a better boyfriend that knows how to treat a woman the right way. And if he don't like it. Then he is out of everywhere I go cause this time he will lost everything." Rachel said when Finn got near her.

Rachel passed the phone to Blaine while she turn around and saw Finn behind her. He had his arms around her.

"How much did you heard?" Rachel asked.

"Almost everything. Your parents were in shock when they heard you said that I live in a penthouse they even asked me how I afford it and I said that playing basketball, at the beginning my parents wanted to pay it but I told them that I can pay it with the basketball money that they give to us. I have a house at the Hampton but I only go over there for the weekend or sometimes for the holidays. That's where I went on Christmas day, instead of spending with my mom and dad I spend it in the Hampton I gotta say that I practically live there. That's my place where I want to be alone so nobody can bother me when they need money for something. I get along with my parents and my siblings. But once one of my uncles come over I go to the Hampton house with my little sister. You will like her, she practically comes over by me when she has problems. By the way you and Diana can stay by me" Finn said.

2 hours later they left to New York. When they reached Rachel went up to her apartment and pick up her stuff, Kurt was there waiting for her, she pick up her stuff and her laptop and put in a bag. When she turn around she saw the worst enemy ever, her ex boyfriend was there smiling at her.

"What the heck do you want Jesse? Leave me alone" Rachel said trying to run from him.

"I came here to see my daughter and you of course. Where are you going? Where is my daughter?" Jesse said getting closer to her.

"You don't have a daughter. I have a daughter, you are not the father cause the father is much better person that you ever been in this life. Get out, leave me alone. I´m leaving. From now I live with the father of my child. And don't even follow me cause I will call the police and tell him the reason that you want the custody which I will never give it to you." Rachel said running to the exit.

As soon as she came out of the building she walk to Finn car. He saw that she was agitated.

"What happen that you are agitated?" Finn asked.

"My ex boyfriend appeared as nothing saying that he wants to see his daughter. I told him he doesn't have a daughter cause he lost the rights to be a father. Why doesn't he stayed with the wife and with the kids. I told him that she has a father that is much better than him. If he carry me to court I will have my testimonies, prove even my dad will go over there and tell him a lot of stuff that he did." Rachel said.
