here it is people the sequel, sorry it's taken me so long, I've been writing the second and third chapters too. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 1
Rachel was on Broadway, she'd made it. The crowd was on their feet applauding and tossing flowers onto the stage, they adored her. She could see Noah in the front row holding a small child no older than three, a little girl and on her wrist was a familiar bracelet, the one Rachel had once thought she'd lost and Noah had found, the one her fathers was willing to replace but she didn't want a new one, it was one of the last things her grandmother had given her. This little girl was her daughter, she looked down to her left hand and saw a modest engagement ring and a wedding band on her ring finger, then she looked at Noah's left hand, a matching wedding band on his finger, they were married. She had made it to Broadway, married Noah and had a daughter, her life was complete.
Then everything changed; she felt a surge of electricity course through her chest and air being forced into her lungs, the faces blurred, Noah and her daughter disappeared almost instantly and she heard a man's voice yell "Clear" before the electricity would return. She was thrown back onto the stage and she felt pain, her eyes closed for a second but when she tried to open them she couldn't, underneath her the hard stage floor was replaced by a mattress and it was moving around. The theatre disappeared completely when she was able to open her eyes and replaced with the roof of an ambulance.
"We got her back, step on it." She heard the man's voice again. In the background there were sirens. 'What happened? Why am I in an ambulance?' She couldn't move and all she wanted to do was close her eyes and go back to the theatre, back to where her husband and her daughter was waiting for her. "Don't go back to sleep Rachel, stay with us honey."
"Da-daddy? Dad?" She croaked. "Mom?"
"The police are calling your parents right now, they're going to meet us at the hospital." The paramedic explained.
"Here we go." The driver, a woman, pulled into the hospital emergency access.
"Sixteen year old Rachel Berry, hit and run, crashed on the way in, possible internal bleeding, fractured ankle and head wound." The paramedic explained as they and the doctors wheeled her into a bright room. "Pulse is weak and blood pressure is low."
"Let's get her to x-ray and then prep for surgery," the doctor ordered. "parents notified?"
"On their way."
"Ok, I want full blood work done and complete x-rays before we get her to surgery. Rachel can you hear me honey, my name's Dr Stein I'm going to take good care of you, you'll be ok sweetie." The motherly doctor assured her.
"Noah, I want Noah."
"We'll call whoever you want, stay with me honey." She was pushed through double doors and into another bright room.

"Of course, if there's anything I can do Hiram." Rebecca said over the phone. "Yes I'll tell Noah, don't worry about it, we'll be there as soon as we can. Take care." She hung up. "Oh dear. Noah can you come in here for a moment please?" 'Thank heavens Sarah's at a friend's for dinner.'
"What is it ma? I'm trying to get a hold of Rach but she's not answering."
Rebecca bit her lip nervously. 'Poor lamb, he's going to be devastated.' "Honey, you might want to sit down."
'This can't be good.' "Ma what is it? Is Sarah ok?"
"Yes Sarah's fine. Oh sweetie I just spoke with Hiram Berry, he Leroy and Shelby are at the hospital, Noah, Rachel's been hurt."
Noah froze. 'Hurt? No, not Rachel, not my Rach.' "What happened?"
"She was hit by a car on her way home from school."
'I should've stayed and waited for her, this would never have happened if I had just stayed to take her home.' "How bad?"
"Honey-"
"Ma how bad? I need to know."
'He blames himself.' "I don't know right now sweetie, Hiram said that she was being taken to surgery when they got there but the paramedics had to resuscitate her in the ambulance." Rebecca watched with heartache as her only son threw his head into his hands and sobbed. "Come on, I told Hiram I'd take you to her, she was asking for you before she went to surgery."
"What about Sarah?"
"I'll call Mrs Johnson from the car, get your coat honey." She watched as her son grabbed his jacket, shoved on his shoes and was out the door before she could grab her car keys.

"Guys, I'm afraid I have some bad news." Mr Schue announced the next day, the Glee club had been pulled from their classes and gathered in the choir room.
"Where's Puck?" Mike asked. "He never showed this morning."
"I'll get to that too. Guys, I'm afraid Rachel's been in an accident; she was hit by a car yesterday outside the school's parking lot."
"No, no mi niña." Santana cried and held onto Brittany.
"What does this have to do with Puck?" Finn asked stupidly, he still hadn't forgiven him for getting Quinn pregnant.
"My God how thick can you be?" Mercedes glared. "Puck's with Rachel because Rachel is his girlfriend."
"How bad Mr Schue?" Matt asked.
"I won't lie to you guys, it's bad, her father said she had a cracked skull, internal bleeding and a fractured ankle, she hasn't woken up from surgery yet and they had to resuscitate her in the ambulance and in surgery."
The girls sobbed while the boys tried to hold their emotions in.
"Any idea who yet?" Kurt asked.
"Witnesses are talking to the police and they're waiting on getting the security footage."
"Why are they waiting?" asked Tina tearfully.
"The cameras aren't school property, they're city property, the police have to go to town hall and get permission to have the tapes."
"No me importa quien lo hizo, cuanda le ponga las manos sobre ellos, ellos van a pagar." Santana rambled in Spanish.
"Easy Santana, I know you're upset, we all are but we have to remember that Rachel's family is hurting too, and so is Noah, they need us."
"Mr Schue is right." Artie agreed. "We need to be strong for Rachel when she comes out of the hospital and we need to keep Puck from getting into trouble while she's not her."
The group nodded.
"As of now your punishments from the bullying have been lifted, mine and Ms Pillsbury's doors are open for you anytime."
"When can we see her?" Brittany asked.
"Her fathers and Shelby have said that you can go see her once she's woken up, after that you're free to see her on weekends and after school but you're not to overwhelm her or let your school work drop."
"I bet it was Quinn, she hated Rach, it's exactly the kind of thing she'd do." Santana said viciously. 'How dare that bitch hurt my girl.'
"Now come on Santana, we can't accuse people without proof." Mr Schue defended although he had his own suspicions.
"Of course it was her, who else could it be?" Mercedes argued.
"She wouldn't do something like that." Finn defended. "She can be mean but she'd never hurt someone on purpose."
"You're kidding right?" Mike looked at him in disbelief. "She purposely killed her baby because Puck was the father, her apology was fake and anyone with half a brain cell could see that she was planning something."
"Even her own mother was watching her." Tina added.
"Guys enough, all we can do is trust that the police will catch whoever did this and that they will be punished appropriately." Mr Schue intervened. "Finn I know you still have feelings for Quinn but you have to look at it from a logical point of view, she blamed Rachel for everything bad happening to her, it is a possibility that she could've done something. No you should all get back to your classes, I'm sure Puck will text you with updates."
They all sighed and one by one left the choir room, Kurt touched his face and winced a little, the slap he'd received from Rachel had bruised over night and was tender. 'Santana and Mike have a point, so does Mr Schue; Quinn hates Rachel and since the truth came out about the miscarriage he hatred rose. Oh sweet Gucci, did I cause this?'

Noah sat beside Rachel's bed holding her hand gently, every now and again her eyelids would move but she wouldn't open her eyes. It had been 24 hours since she came in and she had yet to wake from the surgery, it was explained to her fathers, Shelby and him that because she had to be resuscitated twice it might be a while before she woke up.
"Come on Rach, you can't leave me, I only just got you." He whispered and was met with silence. "You can beat this babe, you can fight this and I'm going to help you." He kissed her hand and rested his forehead on it. "I need you Rach, I miss you so much." Suddenly he felt her hand move, as though it was trying to get out of his grasp. "Rach? Babe can you hear me?"
"Noah?" She croaked.
He sighed in relief and pressed the nurse call button. 'Thank you' he kissed her hand and together they waited.
"No, no mi niña."- No not my girl
"No me importa quien lo hizo, cuanda le ponga las manos sobre ellos, ellos van a pagar."- I don't care who did it, when I find out who did this they're going to pay
