Hey, I have had this idea floating around my head for awhile so I thought I would give it a try so we will see how it goes, most likely will just be a two shot.. This is set 17 Yrs in the future with a little back story... Mostly from Pucks Perspective..

Also just so there is no confusion, there is no Puck/Quinn or Rachel/Finn in this story...

Disclaimer: I own nothing.. None of these Characters are mine.

Puck pulled into his driveway, it had been another long day at the shop and he was exhausted. All he wanted to do was go in and see Rachel and crash on the couch for the rest of the night....

During his senior year of high school, Puck had decided that it was time for him to get a real job because lets face it his pool cleaning business was 10% work and 90% getting to 'cough, cough' know his clients.

However, the summer before his senior year he started hanging out Rachel the freak Berry more and he didn't think he could stand to hear one more lecture about how disgusting and wrong it was for him to be socializing with all the moms of Lima.

At least that was the reason he told himself rather than admit that since he started spending all that extra time with Rachel hardly any other woman interested him any more.

During that summer they became best friends much to the surprise of everyone around them but really Rachel was not intimidated of Puck and simply would not let him try that "bad ass" attitude around her. She just would laugh when he tried and tell him to stop being so ridiculous and sit down .

Rachel of course could still have her diva fits and throw a tantrum that would make a two year old look sweet. However, Puck could just look at her and tell her to chill with one glance.

So by the time school started that fall it was no surprise to anyone to see Puck and Rachel riding into school together and the threats that were made clear the first day that anyone who looked at Rachel and thought the word slushy would be answering to Puck directly.

Rachel since hanging out with Puck had chilled oh her divatude and had really made progress on making friends with the rest of the glee club and within a week was spending all her free time with Mercedes and Kurt.

Plus she had already won over Mike and Matt when she beat them into the ground while they played video games at Pucks over the summer.

As for the Cheerios well at least the insults had stopped but she had a sneaky suspicion that had more to do with the glares that Puck would send whenever they opened their mouths to her more than anything she had done. As the school year progressed one day Mr. Shue walked in and saw his kids huddle around Kurt talking excitedly back and forth while he was writing something down.

"Whats going on guys?" he asked smiling confusingly.

Finn looked up with a crooked grin, "we are making bets on how much longer it takes for Rachel and Puck start dating."

"Also" said Kurt never looking up from his paper "on who makes the first move."

Mr. Shue let out a laugh anyone one could see that Puck and Rachel were crazy about each other but for some reason neither one was willing to make the first move to get past the friend zone.

"I'm betting by Thanksgiving Puck makes the first move" piped up Matt.

"Now way"! Shouted back Mike, "it will be Rachel, she will probably just declare that their going out or something".

"No", Artie spoke up from his chair "it will be Puck" he said so seriously that they all paused to look at him.

"What makes you so sure?" asked Kurt.

"Because for all of her confidence he is the one area Rachel has no security in. Why else do you think she just hasn't walked up to him and told him that they were going out."

After a pause with everyone looking at Artie as though he just imparted some great ancient wisdom to solving world peace.

Mr. Shue piped up "I'm placing my money on Artie" as he reached for his wallet.

Two weeks later... Puck was getting changed after football practice and he was trying to hurry because he promised Rachel he would take her to her dance lesson so she wouldn't have to to take the bus when David from the team came up and and asked,

"Hey Puck, you got a minute?"

"Uh yeah man I guess but I'm kinda in a hurry. Whats up?"

"Oh well, your really good friends with Berry right."

"Yeah, Why?" Puck narrowed his eyes suspiciously wondering where he was going with this.

"Well um", he shifted awkwardly "do you know if she's seeing anyone?"

Puck was full on glaring at the kid now, he wanted to scream 'Hell Yes she's seeing someone! She's my girl!'

Except he couldn't because he had no claim on Rachel other than friend. He grabbed his shoes and started slamming them on his feet his whole body tense from fighting the urge to slam this kid into the lockers.

"Nah man she not seeing anyone."

"Oh cool!" said David "because I was thinking of asking her to the homecoming dance this Friday."

"Yeah, knock yourself out!" Puck snapped as he headed to the hallway where Rachel was waiting.

Seeing her standing against his locker with her hair pulled back and her red lips pulled into a smile as she saw him, all thought flew from his head and he all he could think was of her smiling like that at David and the idea of seeing them together felt like a punch in the chest and before he could talk himself out of it he stalked up to her and kissed her full on the lips.

The second their lips touched it was like a million fireworks exploded and he could feel the heat all over his body (yeah he knew this was a total chick flick movie moment but he decided that for once he didn't care). After a few minutes he pulled back and looked down and saw Rachel smiling breathlessly up at him. "I love you" he whispered pushing her hair back. She touched his cheek and whispered "I love you too."

Around the corner all the glee kids groaned as they forked over their money to Artie. Who was just grinning smugly. At that moment David came around the corner and stood expectantly in front of Artie who without missing a beat handed him a twenty.

"Artie!" All the glee kids shouted.

"What" he said without shame "I said Puck would make the first move, I never said I wouldn't help him along."

From that moment on it was Noah and Rachel and they quickly replaced Quinn and Finn as the sweethearts of the school.

Noah graduated not with honors but with a better GPA than anyone had expected him to leave with and was even accepted into a University which he declined due to the fact that the owner of Joe's Garage had decided to take Puck under his wing seeing a lot of himself in the young man and under his supervision he quickly became one of the top mechanics at the shop.

Rachel finished her last year at McKinley High and two weeks after graduation she and Noah married in a small Jewish Ceremony.

No one could believe Rachel Berry was giving up Broadway and settling down in Lima married at 18. Whenever anyone asked why she was settling for this life she would just grin at them and say, if she went to Broadway then she would be settling because that was the consolation prize to having no friends and no true love but Noah, her Noah was the dream.

They moved into a small two story home and quickly settled into their new lives and less than one year later they welcomed their baby girl Evie Rose Puckerman..

Now 17 years and three kids later, they were still as much in love as that day in the hallway of McKinley High, and after a hard day all Puck could think about was seeing Rachel, she was like an instant pain reliever for his headache. As he walked into the house he could hear the sounds of music playing in the kitchen which must mean that Rachel was getting dinner ready.

"Hey Baby," he said wrapping his arms around her, half turning Rachel quickly gave him a quick kiss on the lips before turning back to the stove.

"Hi, Noah. How was your day hon?"

"It Sucked!!"

Rachel chuckled some things never changed, no matter how much Noah had grown as a man, husband, and father somewhere in him he was still Puck.

"Things at the shop are still crazy since Jerry just up and quit last week and I'm having the damnedest time finding someone to replace him," he added as he got a drink from the refrigerater. He sighed "until I do, I'm going crazy trying to figure everything out." He looked around, "where are the kids?"

"Evie is upstairs doing her homework which is code for talking on line to Megan."

Noah chuckled softly, his daughter may look just like her mother but sometimes it was so clear that she was a Puckerman.

She had turned sixteen a week ago and was blossoming into a beautiful young woman with her mothers hair and small frame but you can bet that if anyone tried to slushie her she would make them regret it by making them walk funny for a week.

"Oh, by the way Josiah has soccer try outs tomorrow at five do you think you can take him? I have an extra glee rehearsal because sectionals are coming up."

Rachel had taken over for Mr. Shue when he and Emma had moved to Philadelphia to help take care of her mother who had fallen ill.

Puck nodded, "yeah tomorrow is Friday I can just take off early." Suddenly they could hear thunderous rumbling of feet as their ten year old son Aaron came running in.

"Mom! Oh hey dad I didn't know you were home."

Puck reached over and ruffled his youngest child hair affectingly. Aaron was the spitting image of his father. While all his children had his green eyes, Aaron was the one who had his build and face. Rachel was just waiting for the Mohawk and the phone call from the school saying he had thrown a slushy at some innocent girl.

"Ma, can I go shoot hoops outside with Kevin until dinners done?"

Kevin was Matt and Mercedes son who lived about a block away while Kevin was their oldest he was the same age as Aaron and being born only a week apart, they pretty much hung out with each other all the time.

"Sure kiddo, but don't stay out to long because it should only be another half hour." Aaron was already gone heading out before he even got an answer knowing she would say yes.

"So what are we having?" Puck asked.

Rachel paused for just a second then said "Lasagna" calmly. Puck narrowed his eyes.
"Whats wrong?"

"Nothing, what makes you think something wrong?" Rachel turned with a little bit to innocent look in her eyes.

"You only make your Lasagna when something wrong or you have something really important to tell me, so whats up." Puck folded his arms and leaned back against the counter staring her down.

Rachel sighed knowing she been busted, she had been hoping to tell him a little later, like tonight in the privacy of their bedroom where she could distract him a little to soften the blow. "OK" she told him walking up to him and putting her arms around his neck, his own automatically coming around her waist.

"But really babe nothings wrong." He raised his eyebrow at her. "I just wanted to let you know that Evie won't be able to go with us to your moms for dinner tomorrow night."

He shrugged, "OK how come?"

"She has a date...."
