"Burt or Carole go to wake Finn for school(because he always, always sleeps through his alarm) only to find their son sleeping on the floor and Tina sleeping in his bed with an obvious black eye and fat lip. All Finn will say when they ask him is 'she couldn't stay at her house.'
Yeah, I didn't follow the request word for word.
Enjoy!
*****
Any other Saturday, Burt would've waited for an answer before he came into Finn's room at 8 am. But today the Hudson-Hummels are surprising Carole with a special birthday breakfast at home. But Kurt's been been working on breakfast for an hour and says his quiche is about to burn, and Sam's got the table set, but Finn's still not up. Burt's been trying to distract Carole with every move he's got because he promised he wouldn't let Carole get downstairs and see her surprise until all her boys were ready, and happy blended family though they might've been, this breakfast wasn't going to mean anything to her if Finn wasn't there with it. So after three solid minutes of pounding on Finn's door and yelling with no response, he barges in.
"Finn, get up! I'm pretty sure your mom's already on to us and-" Burt stops short as he takes notice of two things. 1) There's a girl in his seventeen year-old stepson's bed. 2) That girl is not Rachel Berry. The girl's still sleeping and her face is buried in Finn's pillow, and Burt's not sure who it is, but it's definitely not Rachel.
He's ready to read Finn the riot act, because bringing strange people home to bed is definitely against against the family rules and because cheating is wrong. Did Finn learn nothing from the whole Quinn fiasco? But that's when Burt realizes Finn's not in bed with this girl. Nope, Finn's asleep on a chair next to the bed with no blanket, as though he's been keeping watch over her. The girl rolls over, and Burt finally gets a look at his newest houseguest. His heart drops when he realizes it's Tina Cohen-Chang with an ugly bruise over her left eye and a split lip. Every fatherly instinct flares within him as readies himself to hunt down whatever bastard did this to that sweet, innocent girl.
It's at this moment that Finn seems to realize they're being stared at and he awakens. "Burt, what're you-? Oh right, Mom's birthday. Crap, I'll be down in a minute, I just..." And Finn sees that Burt's staring at Tina, and even if Finn were a good liar, there's no way he could come up with something believable at this moment, so he just goes quiet.
"What happened?" Burt asks. Finn doesn't answer so he goes one further. "That boyfriend of hers do that to her?"
Finn looks horrified at the idea that Mike could've hurt Tina. "Mike? Are you kidding? He's, like, the nicest guy in the world. He's not even in town this weekend. That's why she called me. She didn't have anywhere else to go."
"What happened?" Burt repeats, trying to keep his voice even. He's starting to put the pieces together, and he doesn't think it's best for Tina to wake up to yelling.
Finn's eyes meet his and his voice is steady as he answers, "Please don't send her home."
