Hello, was totally not expecting the response I got and for that I am grateful. I'll try and update as soon as I can, hopefully more so as I finish Uni on Wednesday and I'll have loads of time to write before I have to go back at the end of January. So just saying thanks to all that reviewed and alerted :)

Chapter 2

Standing there in the middle of his day care centre was Rachel Berry; the last he had heard was her and Finn jet-setting off to California to start their life together. She was just as beautiful now, even better truthfully, than she had been all those years ago. The way her body curved, her hair shone and eyes sparkled as she turned toward him. It wasn't until he saw the slight sadness in her eyes that he realised that she wasn't like her old self, but he knew there was still some of that Rachel Berry left.

"Noah, hi" She said in a quiet, slightly sensual voice. It was then that all hell broke loose, breaking out of reverie he noticed Rachel reaching for a screaming child in the pram and Lailie crying over Jackson and the spider.

"Guys, come on" He said whilst walking towards his gruesome twosome "No need to cry darlin' you'll be alright, but you son, are in time-out" He said with a stern face, pointing toward the corner before lifting Lailie into his arms.

Watching the little boy walk into his corner with a sulking face, made Rachel giggle, he was so much like Noah it was unbelievable. With that she turned to face him watching him interact with the girl in his arms made her heart flutter, a funny feeling awakening inside her.

"Rach, it's so good to see you" He said with a genuine smile turning to look her in the eyes.

"You too, Noah" She replied smiling,

"So who's this little munchkin?" Looking at Analise settled in her arms. The little girl exploring the place with her eyes, every so often snuggling further into Rachel's side.

"This is my daughter Analise" She said with a tight smile. By the way she said it Puck had guessed that Finn was her father and that the little girl's parents were obviously not on speaking terms. Looking closer at the child, he could tell that she was Finn's despite the child being an almost clone of Rachel, she had the same dull hazel eyes.

"Well hello Miss Lise" Noah said as he reached forward to tickle my little girl.

"Ewwo" She giggled lightly.

"And who may these two be then?" Asked Rachel, catching the little girls eye and grinning at her.

"Well, this little darlin' is Lailie and that little bug is Jackson" Looking over to where is son was grumbling to himself over in the corner.

"Jack," He called over to his son, "Come say hello to these pretty little" "Petite Noah" "ladies" Watching the little boy saunter over to where they were standing, he stuck his hand out in a confident gesture saying 'ladies'. Totally Noah's son.

They settled in the playroom after Noah let his staff out early, saying that he would lock up tonight. With the children playing with toys on the mats, they sat down, leaning against the ball pit for a catch-up of sorts.

"So you finally made it to New York" He turned to Rachel, with a smile.

"So you're finally showing all that you're not a Lima Loser" She retorted. "Sorry, that was un-called for" She said, once she say the taken aback look that crossed his face.

"No, its fine" He smiled slightly, "So how's Finn" He asked cutting to the chase.

"Whoa! Like to get to the point do we" She laughed bitterly. "He's as fine as I left him six months ago"

"You left him" He repeated, shocked.

"You have no idea the monster that he had turned in to, I couldn't let him be the way he was, drinking around Ana all the time, I mean seeing her father like that, it's just heart-breaking that he couldn't even try to stop for the sake of his own daughter" She said breaking down. Noah shuffled over taking her in his arms rubbing his hand over her back trying to calm her down.

"Mommy, no cry peease" She whined as she walked over to where they were landing in Noah's lap with a "Oomph!"

"It's okay Rachey" The twins chimed in from behind him, "Daddy always makes things better".

Composing herself and wiping the tears from her eyes, she looked towards Noah, silently thanking him for being there for her as she reached further around him to give him a hug.

"Its okay guys, it was silly, I was upset for nothing there, no need to be worried" She said, faking a smile to the children.

"Right guys who wants to go on the slides!" Noah exclaimed, trying to take our minds of the mini-melt-down I just had.

"Yeeey" They all exclaimed. "I wanna go with Miss Rachel, daddy, cause she very pretty" Said Jackson. Noah looked over at her giving her a look of approval, before smiling and lifting the two girls in his arms.

"Well, I think I can handle another Puckerman, Jackson" She replied, sending a wink to Noah.

And quick Fanfiction question to all, how do you split the paragraph's more clearly, I tried using the line but that wasn't very helpful! Reviewing is lovely, thanks ;)
