From the Moment On
Chapter One
The End of Two Family's
"Knock knock!" the sound of a light tapping against the front door echos through the big house. Rachel hurry's down the stairs with a step, knowing who it is from the first knock.
"Hello Aunt Virginia!" Rachel squeals when she sees the two little babys in her arms. "Hello Melody and Jonathan!" She says to each baby.
"Rachel you've gotten so beautiful! I hope Melody looks like you when she grows up!" Her aunt Virginia says. Rachel smiles at the compliment and opens the door wider.
"Here let me help you." Rachel takes Melody out of her arms and into her own.
"Thank you so much!" Virginia says sighing with relief. She shakes her arms that held Melody. "They've gotten much heavier." She drags her bag into the house with her now free hand. Rachel closes the door behind her and walks over to the living room with Melody in arm.
"You've guys have gotten much cuter than before," Rachel says distracted by Melody who try's to laugh but just drools.
"I know and a lot more naughty! They have kept me up every night crying!" Her aunt sits Jonathan on her lap bouncing him up and down slowly. His hair flies up and down.
"Well you are in luck I have a week off from school, due to rat infestation so I can take care of them while you relax for awhile." Rachel says keeping her focus on the baby in front of her.
"No no Rach. This is your break from school."
"Come on you'll get to catch up with my dad's and maybe go out with some of your old friends from high school." she whispers little things to the baby in her arm.
"You're right I need a break even if it's a tiny one." Virginia nods telling Rachel she will have a good time while she is here. "So where's your father's?" Virginia asks.
"They had a businessmen trip." Rachel continues to try and get Melody to laugh but no progress. "Well Dad had a businessmen trip. Daddy just went because they were going to Hawaii. But they'll be back this evening."
"Okay." Virginia says.
"We're home!" The berry dad's yell once they enter the house. Rachel smiles, hearing her fathers voices. She walks down the hallway, down the stairs.
"Shh!" Rachel puts her finger to her lips. "Melody and Jonathan are finally asleep."
"Virginia's here?" Hiram asks, placing his jacket on the hanger and into the closet.
"Yep! Arrived a couple hours ago," Virginia's high voice rings from the kitchen. She walks through the kitchen door and into the living room.
"Virginia!" Hiram runs over to her, hugging once they get close enough. "How have you been?" he drops his suitcase and walks with his sister.
"It's good to see you Hiram," she first says. "I've been good, sleepy but good," Virginia, pulls away from the embrace and takes a seat on the couch, Mr. Berry follows.
They talk about Mr. and Mr. Berry's trip to Hawaii. Virginia's trip to Lima, The twins. After an hour of talking Virginia asks
"Have you ate yet? I was just going to whip something up?"
"We haven't but, we thought we all could go out for dinner, Sarah too." Hiram says smiling, taking Leroy's hand.
"Yes! That would be lovely!" Virginia get's up. "No, Melody and Jonathan are sleeping." she says thinking about her two baby's.
"I'll watch them." Rachel suggests, standing up and walking to her. "They're just sleeping now, so it won't be too hard," Rachel beams at her small family.
"Are you sure? Don't you have homework or something?" she asks. She wants to go out, but she doesn't want to leave the baby's with Rachel, only because they can be a handful.
"Yes I'm sure. Remember what we said earlier I'll take care of them while you take a break for a while."
"Well okay." Virginia hugs Rachel before heading up stairs. "Just let me freshen up and we can go." Virginia smiles at the three of them before heading up stairs.
"Okay!" Virginia says after she has got done getting ready. "Just call me if anything goes wrong. Okay?"
"I will, I will. Just go. Say hi to Sarah will you?" She hurries the three of them out the door.
"Okay okay. And yes we will say hi to Sarah for you." Leroy says smiling, walking to the car.
"Be careful!" Rachel yells after them, at the front porch. They honk their horn before disappearing down the road. Rachel looks around, before deciding to go inside. The door closes with a soft tap, Rachel locks the door and walks to the kitchen. They told her they would bring something back for her, but knowing them they'll forget.
After eating and cleaning up her dinner, Rachel takes a seat in the living room. She flips through the channels, before settling on a movie on lifetime.
"Lifetime movies are so dramatic and sad," Rachel thinks. She gets that fact that the teenage girl is sad that her father dies. But there's no reason to go and get pregnant.
"Too sad." Rachel mumbles, she pushes the red button turning off the flat screen. She checks the doors and drags herself up the stairs. She pops in the baby's room before stumbling off to bed. The comfort of her bed is the best thing in the world to Rachel. She fluffs the pillows and her eyes begin to get heavier and heavier, until they give up and fall.
"Ring, Ring." the sound of a ringing phone interrupts the Jewish girls dreams. First she thinks it's her mind-
"Ring Ring" the sound is much louder this time. She get's up and hurry's down the stairs, making sure she doesn't fall down. After almost falling down the steps, Rachel reaches the phone. She picks up the black phone.
"Hello?" Rachel says, voice cracking. She clears her throat with a cough and waits for the other person to talk.
"Yes, is this Rachel Berry?" A woman voice responds.
" This is she." Rachel brings her hands up to her mouth covering up her yawn.
"Ms. I'm going to have to ask you if you could come out to-
"I'm sorry but who may I ask is calling?"
"Rachel, I'm sorry but your parents have been involved in a car crash."
"What no." Rachel can't think right she feels dizzy, light headed. She drops the phone on the carpet and runs to the window peeking out to the driveway. Empty, except her Aunt Virginia's Kia.
"I'm sorry. This will be better If I can talk to you in person. Could you please come to the Lima Hospital?" Rachel hears the woman talking but she doesn't bother to pick up the phone. Finally she answers the woman.
"Yes, of course." Rachel then hangs up and hurry's upstairs. She grabs the diaper bag, and dashes to where the twin's are sleeping. She gently puts them in each of her arms, her legs run down the stairs fast but carefully. Her aunts keys are hanging on the key holder, she uses her mouth to grab it. Out the door she goes, leaving the door wide open. The twins wine's and cry's are heard from Rachel, but there's nothing she can do until she get's to the hospital.
"Come here." Rachel carefully unbuckles the baby's from their car seats and places them in the 2 in 1 stroller. She tucks a furry pink blanket under Melody and a blue one for Jonathan. Rachel then runs to the hospital's entrance, pushing the stroller in front of her.
The sound of screeching tires, pulls Rachel from the hospital, she look's to her right and see's a black truck a couple feet from hitting her and the children.
"SORRY!" is all Rachel manages before running into the building.
When she reaches the ER she's breathing heavily, and the twins are whimpering in their sleep. The waiting room is empty except for a couple nurses drinking coffee. She spots a officer by the desk, and a couple doctors surrounding her. She breathes through her nose loud, she fixes her hair quickly and walks towards the group. Halfway the cop turns around, her eyes are sympathetic. Not Good.
"Ms. Berry, I'm Officer Nina," she extends her arms for a handshake. Rachel stares down at it before shaking it.
"How are my father's and aunt?" she asks playing with her hand, afraid of the answer.
"Your father Leroy is in critical condition."
"And my Daddy and Aunt?"
"I'm sorry," she places her hand on her shoulder. "Your father and aunt has died." Rachel's eyes begin to fill with tears, fast. She feels dizzy, sick. Her legs feel wobbly. The white room soon begins to spin and all she can see is black. The small girl stays in that same place, taking her hand to her face, letting the tears fall freely. All the sounds in the ER is bothering Rachel her mind is getting frustrated with everything and everyone.
"YO!" A male's voice brings Rachel out of her thoughts. "I'm here see my mother." he speaks.
Rachel knows that voice all to well. Noah. Sarah Puckerman.
"Mr. Puckerman." Officer Nina calls Puck.
"Puck," he says.
"Puck, where's your father?"
"Deadbeat." is all he says, clearly not wanting to say more."What happened?" his voice turns to concern.
"I'm Officer Nina." she introduces.
Rachel, still in the same position feels her eyes fill up with more tears.
"Look officer I didn't come here to get to know people! So what happened to my MA?" his voice boils with anger now.
"I'm sorry."She pauses and waits for Puck to digest the information. "Your mother has died, due to a car accident." with that said Rachel turns around seeing Puck frozen with sadness. She's never seen him like this. His eyes find Rachel's, They lock their eyes for a moment. Eventually Rachel starts crying a gain as she can't control herself. Puck walks over to her and takes her in a embrace.
"I-I d didn't even say b-bye." Rachel speaks into Puck's shirt, letting her tears wet his shirt.
"Me too." he whispers to her. "Me too." Puck keeps his voice calm, looking at the white blank walls. His eyes begin to hurt, closing them, tears escape sliding down his cheek.
Then a cry breaks the two up from the hug. They both look down seeing the baby's crying too.
