***********************************

Rachel woke up to find herself in Sam's arms. They were still on the sofa which had to be uncomfortable for Sam. She looked over to see him soundly asleep. He was quite adorable. His bangs slightly over his eyes, and his cute lips..Santana always made fun of his mouth, but she found them quite kissable. Well, not that she would actually know and again why are these thoughts about Sam surfacing again.

Rachel tried to get up, but she felt two arms wrap around her tighter and pulled her close.

Sam: No don't go Rach.

Rachel: I'm not going anywhere. I just thought I'd move to give you more room.You must be uncomfortable, Sammy.

Sam: Oops sorry, Rach. What time is it?

Rachel: 8 am.

Sam: Wow we missed most of the movie!

Rachel: It's okay we can watch later.

Sam: Actually I was planning to take a short road trip to visit my parents in Tennessee. They moved back when Dad's job transferred from Kentucky back to Tennessee. They are finally getting back on their feet.

Rachel: Sam that's so amazing. I miss your parents, as well as, Stacey and Stevie.

Sam: They've missed you too, and I think Stevie still has a slight crush on you.

Rachel: Well...I'll miss you while you're gone.

Sam: Why don't you come with me? I'd love the company and I know you would love to get out into the country. It's a beautiful drive in the fall through Tennessee. Especially the changing colors of the leaves.

Rachel: I've seen the photos especially of the Smokey Mountans in the fall.

Sam: So is that a yes?

Rachel: I'd love to join you, Sam. It's not like I have anywhere else to be at the moment.

Sam: Let's get ready, pack some food, and bring a change of clothes for a couple days. We're driving home to Nashville, Tennessee.

Rachel: Let's do this. I'm excited. *kissing Sam's cheek * oops sorry Sam got carried away.

Sam: It's fine, Rachel. It's going to be fun. I've never brought another girl to my hometown before. So much to do there. Also may even take you to see Johnny and June's home in Hendersonville, TN. (A/N: I actually used to live in Nashville and Hendersonville TN. I lived on other side of Old Hickory Lake from where most stars lived in Hendersonville. I actually been in front and back of Johnny and June's home which burned in a fire in 2007. Its now owned by Barry Gibb from Bee Gees)

Rachel: Ooh I loved Walk the Line the movie.

Sam: Taylor Swift lived in the area too.

Rachel: I am excited to go anywhere with you, Samuel.

Sam: You know I hate that name.

Rachel: I love your name. Everything.

Sam: Everything?

Rachel: *cough* I think we should head out. I left a note for my dad.

Sam took her hand and led her to his truck. "Are you ready?"

Rachel smiled and nodded. Soon they were on the way to Tennessee. It was a beautiful day and not much traffic on the roads. Every now and then they stopped to rest. Rachel slept most of the way, while Sam drove. Sam would glance over at Rachel and smiled.

Sam had finally reached Tennessee borderlines, and he smiled. Home Sweet Home. This is where he was born and raised. (A/N: Chord is from Nashville, TN. His dad is a country singer, Paul Overstreet) Sam turned on the radio to WSIX FM (A/N: Real Station) and listened to country music. Rachel had woken up and surprisingly sang along to some country songs.

Sam: We should be in Nashville in a couple hours. I love having you with me. Blaine would've been fun to have with him, but Kurt would've nagged.

Rachel: Finn used to say I nagged.

Sam: Well I'd rather look over at a beautify face.

Rachel: You think I'm beautiful?

Sam: Damn straight!

Rachel: Sam, language.

Sam: Oh please I've heard you curse plus when you're in a bad mood you cut my guitar strings.

Rachel: I'm sorry, I promise to pay for that.

Sam chuckled. " Don't worry about it. Hey we are near Old Hickory Lake want to stop to rest? We can eat our picnic. "

Rachel: I'd love that.

Sam parked by the lake and grabbed his guitar. Soon they were eating, looking at the water.

Rachel: It's so beautiful and relaxing here. I see why you love coming home.

Sam: I've never brought anyone else here. Not Mercedes, not Brittany, not Santana and certainly not Quinn.

Rachel: Why me?

Sam: I don't know you're special. And I thought I'd let you know that I called my family to join us here.

Rachel: What?

Stacey & Stevie: SAMMY! RACHEL!

Rachel smiled and ran to hug the twins.

Mary: Rachel Berry it has been too long.

Dwight: Hello Rachel. Sammy good to have you home. We brought more food, don't worry Rachel we have vegan for you. Sam, put a jacket on that girl. Its getting colder.

Sam: Yes dad.

Rachel: It is lovely seeing all of you.

Mary: We heard what happened, Rachel, and it is Hollywood's loss. You are so talented. You made mistakes but you're young and learn from them. We won't count you out yet.

Rachel: Thank you, Mrs. Evans.

Mary: Rachel, it's Mary. And what is going on with you and my Sammy?

Rachel: Um, we're just friends.

Mary: Mmm hmmm . I already agreed with Kurt to help plan the wedding.

Sam: *cough* wedding?

Dwight: Don't deny it. See what is right in front of you, son. Now how about we play some music.

Mary, Rachel, and the twins sat on the blankets while Sam and his dad strummed their guitars.

Sweet Southern Comfort (A/N: Buddy Jewell)

 (Dwight)

Misty sunrise
 In my hometown
 Rows of cotton, 'bout knee high
 Mrs. Baker down the dirt road
 Still got clothes out on the line
 Erwin Nichols, there with Judge Lee
 Playin' checkers at the gin
 When I dream about the southland
 This is where it all begins

(Sam)

 From Carolina down to Georgia
 Smell the jasmine and magnolia
 Sleepy sweet home
 Alabama
 Roll tide, roll
 Muddy water, Mississippi
 Blessed graceland whispers to me
 Carry on, carry on, sweet southern comfort, carry on

(Dwight)

 Catchin' catfish on the river
 Chasin fireflies by the creek
 Kissin Gary Williams' sister
 On the porch homecoming week

(Sam)
 With rusty cars and weeping willows
 Keeping watch out in the yard
 Just a snapshot of downhome dixie, could be anywhere you are

(Both)

 In Carolina, or in Georgia
[]
Open arms are waitin' for ya
 Louisiana, Yellow rose of San Antonio
 Arkansas, Mississippi
 Old man river whispers to me
 Carry on, carry on, sweet southern comfort, carry on

(Sam)

 As I sit here, I'm surrounded
 By these priceless memories
 I don't have to think about it
 There's no place I'd rather be

(Dwight)

 Than Carolina or in Georgia
 Smell the jasmine and magnolia
 Sleepy sweet home
 Alabama
 Roll tide, roll

(Sam)
 Muddy water Mississippi
 Blessed graceland whispers to me
 Carry on, carry on, sweet southern comfort
 Carry on, carry on, sweet southern comfort, carry on
 mmm..mmm

Rachel smiled and felt like a part of the family. She suddenly imagined what it would be like if things worked out with Sam.

 Stacey: Sing Rachel, please.

Sam: Yes sing, Rach.

Rachel: Okay. How about Miranda Lambert?

Sam played while Rachel hummed the beginning of "Greyhound bound for nowhere"

(Rachel)

"Greyhound Bound For Nowhere"

Rain on the window makes me lonely
 Time keeps on passing so slowly
 The old man sittin' next to me is fallin' asleep
 On a Greyhound Bound For Nowhere

 The sun's going down on my misery
 Another day gone by with broken dreams
 That cell phone I hear ringing, I keep wishing it was you
 On a Greyhound Bound For Nowhere

 That ring that you were wearing don't mean everything
 The way that you stood starin' as you watched me roll away
 She loves you and you need me and there some things we can't share
 I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere

 Bright lights of a city shining up ahead
 My hearts analyzing every word you said
 Did you take me for a fool or did you really care
 I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere

 That ring that you were wearing don't mean everything
 The way that you stood starin' as you watched me roll away
 She loves you and you need me and there some things we can't share
 I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere

 I'm gonna find someplace I can ease my mind
 And try to heal my wounded pride

 Rain on the window and I'm still lonely
 And time keeps on passing so slowly
 You're with her and I'm alone and you're wishing I was there
 I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
 We' re all on a Greyhound bound for nowhere

Rachel felt tears fall, and hugs from the Evans family.

Dwight: Lets start heading home. You two follow us home. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Everyone gathered their belongings and got into their cars heading back to the Evans home.

Rachel: Sam?

Sam: Yeah?

Rachel: Thank you for inviting me along. I needed this.

Sam: You're welcome. *leaning in and crushed his lips with Rachel's.*

Rachel found herself kissing back.

Sam pulled away and wanted to kick himself for going too fast.

Sam: Oh my gosh Rachel I am so sorry.

Rachel: Sam?

Sam: Yes?

Rachel: Please do it again.

Sam smiled, and who was he to refuse a beautiful woman's request.

After making out for 10 minutes, Sam pulled away for oxygen and to drive home.

Sam: Let's head home beautiful. I don't know what this us yet, but so far I'm loving it. You don't know how long I waited to do that.

Rachel: Let's head home, Evans and you may continue to show me.

Sam: Yes ma'am.

Rachel and Sam headed to his house in Nashville. Sam held her hand. He doesn't know where this will lead but for not he wont question it.
