A/N: Mistakes are mine. This is my new story. If you haven't read She Will Be Loved, I would love for you to check that one out. Until then, I hope you enjoy reading this~
Rachel Berry looked at the view of window of her penthouse in Manhattan. Caroline was finally asleep so she went there. She liked to read books there and look at the mesmerizing view. Manhattan seemed to calm her. But most of all, she spent her time thinking about Noah Puckerman.
It has been seven years since she last the face of the man she loves. She left after graduation, leaving with nothing but a letter. She couldn't tell him that she was pregnant with his child. She didn't want to ruin his life, especially when he finally figured out what he wanted to do. Though, she hadn't told him that she's in love with him and that was one of her biggest regrets.
The things she wrote on the letter lingered in her mind. She's still in love with him. There wasn't a day that the thought of him wasn't constantly running through her mind. She wondered if he thinks about her too. Maybe he's back to being his old self. Back to being Puck. He was Noah for a while, and she loved that side of him. He was so caring and loving that she couldn't let him go. She pondered if he only sings Sweet Caroline for her. Ever since he sung it for her in Glee Club, it became their song.
She was about to cry when she heard a loud knock on her door. That's odd, maybe it's Santana, but she's out with Brittany today. She wiped the tears on her face before opening the door. She gasped at who she saw.
"Noah?" she muttered, her brain, unable to function.
"Hey, Rach," he said casually.
Rachel couldn't open her mouth. It was like her throat suddenly became dry. Her voice was nowhere to be found. She gazed at him and analyzed his face. His mohawk was now gone and he seemed so mature. Then she looked at his eyes. That's what she missed most about him, and every time she looks at Caroline's eyes, she misses him more. When she finally found her voice, she cleared her throat and asked him, "Noah, wh-what are doing here?"
"I came here to get you back," was all he said.
"I think we should talk first. It's been, what, seven years?" she babbled. "Would you like to come in?" Then she heard it. A scream coming from Caroline's bedroom.
Before he could answer her, she already bolted back to the penthouse, saying "Noah, you can come inside and sit on the couch for a while. This won't take long."
Did she already have a child? A husband? These questions ran through Puck's mind and he couldn't wait to hear her answers.
Rachel went to Caroline's bedroom only to find her precious daughter, crying. "Princess, did you have a bad dream again?"
Caroline nodded. "Tell me all about it."
"You left me, and when I woke up, I couldn't find you. I was so scared, that I screamed. I'm so sorry, Mommy. I know that wasn't the right thing to do," she said softly.
"I would never abandon you, Caroline. You are a very important part of life. You're the greatest gift I have ever received, and I couldn't afford to lose you," she said, blinking back the tears that were about to fall. Caroline does not need to see her in a state like this. She has to be strong for her, for them.
"Really?" Caroline said, her eyes gleaming with delight.
"Yeah," she answered, kissing Caroline on the forehead and engulfing her with a hug.
"Mommy, I have to tell you something. The kids at school are calling me a freak because I don't have a daddy, and they're saying that he left because he doesn't love me." Rachel couldn't believe what she just heard.
"Honey, that's not true! You have me and my dads. We love you very much," she half-yelled, leaving Noah's part. Caroline did not need to know about him yet.
"Mommy, who is my daddy? I want to meet him! You never talk about him and I'm just really curious. Please, Mommy?" she uttered, doing that puppy dog eyes that are so impossible to resist.
"Okay, I'll tell you who your father is. But I won't be telling you all about him. You might fall in love with him and just forget about me," Rachel joked, pouting slightly. "I only have one condition, please be in your best behavior today. We have a visitor." Caroline only nodded.
"Are you thirsty?" Rachel asked and Caroline nodded. "Okay, let's go to the kitchen. I'll race you downstairs!"
The two was panting when they got to the kitchen. Rachel won their little race just like she always did before with Noah. It wasn't long before Caroline noticed the man that was sitting on the couch. "Mom who is he?"
He's your father.
Rachel bit her lip. "He's one of my friends from high school," she said, glancing at Puck.
