Chapter One
My alarm beeped at it usual time of 5:45am, I sighed and opened my eyes, looking into the eyes of my wonderful fiancé. "Good morning," he said.
"Good morning," I said.
"How are you this morning," he said.
"I'm good," I said, but as soon as I said that I knew I had jinxed it, I rushed into the bathroom and emptied the contents of my stomach. Noah, held my hair back for me and gave me a glass of water when I was done.
As much as I hate this, I really cannot complain. I am pregnant and it is the most amazing feeling, I decided to get a shower since I was in the bathroom now, today was our first day back after the summer break, and our last year of high school. I got out of the shower and walked into the bedroom greeted by one of my favourite sights, my daughter and her dad playing roughly. "Okay, Noah, get washed, I'll get Darcy ready," I said.
"Okay babe," he said. "You look gorgeous as always," I was wearing just a towel, but I was happy with his comment.
I got dressed, well put underwear on and then went into Darcy's room and selected an outfit for her, A pair of jeans and a white T-shirt, complete with a lilac cardigan. I tied her gorgeous hair into pigtails and smiled, she was stunning. "Okay, mommy is going to get dressed and then we can get breakfast okay," I said.
"Yes mommy," she said. I walked back into my bedroom and found a pair of jeans that were usually too big, but since my bump was starting to show, they would do the job, there was really no point in getting maternity clothes, yet, I wasn't big enough. I put on a pale pink T-shirt and then put on some pink flats. I settled on a black jacket to go with it. I looked good.
After breakfast, I had some toast with a little jam, we got into the truck and set off for playgroup, I walked with Darcy into the centre, and walked with her since she was in a new class as she was a year older. "Hello, you must be Rachel," said a auburn haired thirty something lady. "I'm Helen, it's nice to finally meet you,"
"Hello Helen," I said. "My name is Rachel Berry and this is Darcy Puckerman,"
"Puckerman," she said, confused.
"Yes she's taken her father's name," I said. "He's my fiancé,"
"So you're still together," she said.
"Yes," I said.
"That's really good to hear," she said. "Okay then Rachel, I can see you're in a hurry, you may go, she finishes at 2:45,"
"Okay, thank you Helen, I'll see you then," I said. "See you later Darcy," I hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek, and then walked out of the room.
I got back into the truck and myself and Noah made our way to our own school. "So what's the new leader like," he said.
"She seems nice," I said. "Her name is Helen, Oh I need to speak with Figgins, about leaving fifteen minutes early,"
"Why," he said.
"Playgroup finishes at 2:45, instead of 3:00," I said. "So I'll leave then and then come and pick you up,"
"That's fine," he said.
We'd arrived at school now and Noah helped me out of the truck, we walked hand in hand to the reception area, Noah was picking up our schedules and I was going to talk with Figgins. I knocked on the door, "Come in," he said. I walked in and smiled Will, Emma, and Sue Sylvester were in there.
"Hello, Rachel," they all said at once.
"Hi everyone," I said. "I can see you're busy Mr Figgins, I'll come back later,"
"It's fine Rachel," he said. "What is this about,"
"Well, I need to leave fifteen minutes early later today," I said. "Darcy's playgroup finishes at 2:45,"
"That's fine Rachel, you're attendance is second to none," he said. "Even if you've been ill,"
"Thank you sir," I said.
"Oh Rachel, we have a glee meeting later today, I know it's early but I have some very important news," said Will.
"Okay I'll spread the word," I said. "See you all later,"
"Bye Rachel," they all said. I walked out and was greeted with Noah's lips, and then the sound of clearing throats.
"Hey guys," I said. All my friends were smiling at us. "Quinn and Finn, you look tanned where did you go,"
"Just to Miami," they said.
"Sounds nice," I said. "Oh, we have a glee meeting later, I've been asked to pass that on,"
"I can't wait," said San. "I've missed our meetings,"
"I know," I said. "Me too,"
"So, when is your next appointment," said Quinn, she hadn't said scan because we didn't want anyone else to know yet. Although before we broke up for summer we had gained some respect, I didn't want that to go out the window anytime soon.
"It's on Friday," I said. "We get to see the baby properly this time,"
"We want pictures," said the girls.
"Of course," I said. "I really can't wait, okay so what do we have first period,"
"Spanish," said Noah. "Then, English, ironic two languages together," I smiled, but then caught the whiff of egg, someone was cleaning out their locker, but of course the smell was vile. "I have to go," I said, running off quickly. I heard footsteps behind me but didn't care as I threw up again.
"You okay Rach," said Quinn. I walked out of the stall and nodded.
"I'm fine," I said. "Certain smells will just set me off,"
"I know, even we were a little nauseous," she said. "You want some water," I nodded, but pointed to my bag, I'd packed a bottle in my bag. I took a few sips and my mouth tasted better. We walked back out and made our way to Spanish, "Sorry I'm late Will, I mean Mr Schue," I said.
"It's fine Rachel," he said. "Just don't make a habit of it,"
"I'll try not to," I said.
Spanish passed and then English followed, it was okay if you liked Macbeth, but I really didn't. The rest of the day went by without any problems, it was when I went to pick up Darcy that the problems began.
