Hey Guys so here's the next chapter, I hope you enjoy it! xoxoxo

"Oh, of course Mr. Franker. I totally understand, just tell Rachel to rest and get better soon" Cindy, a member of Iced Up replied, sounding concerned.

"Well, yes I am sure she should be fine for next rehearsal. Goodbye" he paced quickly hanging up the phone. "Okay, now that's delt with, ready for another swim?". With a devilish grin, he ran towards her, realizing what he was about to do. Rachel ran in the opposite direction.

"Noah! No!" she screamed, running away from him to the other side of the pool.

Sprinting after her, he soon caught up and grabbed her by the waist, and swiveling her to face him. When her saw her eyes staring back at him, he gazed at her for a while.

"So what do you wanna do now eh?" he asked leaning closer to her, dropping his eyes to her lips.

"I'm pretty sure you know" she giggled catching her lips with his.

Knock, Knock, Knock. Both of them ripped there gazes to the door reluctantly.

"Rachel" Finn shouted. Quickly returning her gaze to Noah's she covered her mouth with her hand. "Rach, I just want to talk to you about the other day".

"Leave it" Noah whispered.

"I can't I already blew him off at the party. Plus I haven't spoke to him really since the whole baby drama" she pleaded in a hushed tone. Rolling his eyes he dropped his arms.

"Well where am I meant to go he ain't exactly gonna be buzzing to see me is he" he asked her.

"Just hide" she said running towards the door. "I'm Coming! I'm Coming" she shouted at the door.

Turning her head, Noah was not in sight and figured it was safe to open the door. Turning the knob of the door, she found Finn standing there with a lop sided grin.

"Hey Finn". She smiled at him. I'm a great actress she thought silently praising herself.

"Hey Rach" he smiled "I was wondering if we could talk" walking through the door before she could protest. Closing the door she followed him through into the kitchen.

"So what's up" she asked innocently, darting her eyes around her environment trying to spot the mohawk haired boy.

"Well there's a few things. First, I was wondering how you are" he asked politely sitting in the stool behind the counter.

"I'm good Finn, thanks" she said grateful he asked.

"And the other thing, I just wanted to talk about the baby thing" he sighed and Rachel could she the pain in his eyes. Rachel felt a sorry for Finn, having to think one moment you are to be a father. Then have it taken all away at once, maybe one of the most horrible feeling, having a child taken from you. Figuratively or actually. She felt very sorry for him.

"Listen, Finn. You know I'll always be friends with you, you know that. An am sure in time, the pain which I know your hiding from everyone", he looked at the wall when she said the last bit of the sentence then down to his feet. "It'll gradually begin to fade. And maybe even one day, it will be just a distant memory, and you and Quinn and Noah could all be on civil terms again. I know that Quinn still loves you, you know". Expecting some rage of outburst from him, but carried on when he stayed silent. "She's grown up a lot, and she misses you. I can tell. I know it must be hard for you Finn. Really hard, I must give you credit. You have a lot more courage than I do. I couldn't handle things the way you have" she said leaning across the counter and placing her hand over his. "Your really brave Finn. I hope you know that". Looking up at her he laughed, with no amusement.

"No, Rachel. Am not brave. If I was brave, I wouldn't be crying myself to sleep at night" he muttered, starring into the air. "If I was brave, I wouldn't still be in love with Quinn. And I definitely wouldn't missing Puck, like a dogs lost its bone. I'm not brave, just a coward". He sighed, beginning to feel to tears dwell in his eyes.

"Finn, having emotions don't make you a coward. They just make you human. It's totally normal you feel that way. You love Quinn and you have been best friends with Noah since Kinder Garden. It's okay". She told him walking around to him sitting on the stool on his left side. Opening out her arms, she offered him a hug, which he thankfully accepted.

"Thanks Rachel" he said into shoulder. Rachel just nodded in response. Pulling away she smiled as she saw his eyes.

"Are you thirsty" she asked in a more preppy tone trying to enlighten the mood. "I'm just about to make another fruit cocktail, none alcoholic of course. Bit early" she grinned.

"No thank you. My mom said I could only be out for a short while. She wants me home to help her paint her bedroom. I just wanted to talk to you about some things first" he replied, standing up with that lop-sided grin that used to make her tremble. But now she never felt it. No butterflies. No weak knees. Just felt like she was looking at one of her good friends or her cousin.

"No problems Finn. I'm always here you know. Well, I'm not always in the house, but my phones always on, so if you need me at all. I'm just a phone call away" she said walking to the door.

"I'll catch you later Rachel" pulling her into a hug then left the house. Closing the door, Rachel quickly ran into the kitchen.

"Noah!...Noah!" she began to shout. After looking around downstairs she just couldn't find him. Placing her hands on her hip she huffed from annoyance. Figuring he must have slipped out , she walked through the hallway and into the kitchen. Only to feel two strong arms wrap around her waist. Jumping slightly from shock she turned her body around to make sure it was Noah. And to her delight (what?) it was.

"Jesus, Noah you scared the life out of me" she said placing a hand on her chest, and catching her breath. "And where was you hiding?"

"The airing cupboard under the stairs" he grinned.

"So you hungry" she asked him.

"You have no idea" he said listening to his stomach talk to him.

Giggling at him, she pulled him by his hand to the kitchen.

"So, what do you want. Papa only went to the store yesterday morning so we gotta full refrigerator"

"I don't mind, or do you want take out" he asked her and she grinned.

"You totally just read my mind" she told him grabbing the phone. "Oh and pick a film, the film collection in the movie room to the right". Puck went into the 'movie room' Rachel was pointing to expecting to find a sof and a television with a DVD player next to it. What he didn't expect to find miniature cinema in her living room. With Bed/Sofa's that match the room, and a popcorn machine in the corner. The biggest projector and screen he had ever seen in a space like this.

Looking to right of the room, he found his favorite part. A glass case covering the whole right back wall, full of movies. Above, where smaller version of stage lights spotlighting the entire case. Every movies, every genre you could think of. He hadn't seen so many classics in his life. Thriller, Comedy, Action, Romance, Tragedy, chick flicks and even horror. And of course there where musicals, but there where around 300 other movies to choose from.

Walking into the room, she couldn't help but laugh at his expression. "You like" she joked.

"Like? Like! Are you serious, whose are all of these?" he asked still mesmerized at what was before him.

"Well most of the tragedy's are my dads and a couple of the Spanish one's but, the rest are mine really"

"You bought Double Impact, The Die hards and All of the James Bond collection?" He asked her in disbelief. When she nodded he grabbed her by her waist an roughly kissed her.

"Berry I think your turning out to be the coolest chick I've ever known" he grinned pulling her int a tight hug. Laughing at him she playfully pushed him away.

"Just pick a film Puckerman, I can't let you be going soft of me, thats no fun" she told him. He smirked at her and shook his head.

4 Hours later

"Thanks for the lift Brittany" Quinn smiled at her friend as she slowly got out of the car.

"No worries Q, and if Rachel wonders why your like forty five minutes later than you said you would be just blame in on my cat, I do it all the time" Brittany told her seriously.

Quinn looked at her friend for a minute wondering if she was being serious. Okay, she was. Gotta love Brittany. Grinning and waving Quinn, made her way to the first door of the Berry household. Using the Key Rachel gave her, she walked into hallway. Looking around the scenery all the lights where off, yet she could here the television coming from the movie room.

"Rachel! Rachel am bac-" turning into the movie room she stopped speaking quickly and she saw Rachel asleep, next to a bulky figure. Her heart stoped for a second as at first she thought it was Finn. Taking a closer look her frown turned upside down, realizing the true figure. Puckerman. The two of the where both asleep, Rachel leaning her head and upper torso leaning on puck laying between his legs. And Pucks arms protectively around Rachel's waist. Grinning like a giddy child, Quinn got out her phone and took several photos of the two.

Tip toeing around the room she picked up the empty trays of food and put them in the bin. Placed all the left over Chinese in the fridge. Then finally turned the Television of by the wall. Turning off the lights, she closed the door as quietly as she could, turned off the downstairs lights, checked all doors and windows where locked then made her way upstairs.

Taking a quick shower, she changed into her Pajamas and got into bed picking up her phone. And sent the picture to the rest of Glee club(except finn), with a message.

Luk wat I found in the berry movie room...Puckleberry commence 3 how cute please! xxxx Q!

Hitting the send button she turned of her phone before it was bombarded with messages, and she fell into a peaceful sleep.

Opening his eyes, Noah began to gaze at his current surroundings. It's wasn't his bedroom. It wasn't his house even. Flinching a little as he could feel something squirm underneath him. Seeing the small brunette beneath him, he smirked and remembered the following night. Before he could think anything else the petite girl beneath him started to stretch. Looking up, with one eye open she saw him looking down at her, and half smiled.

"Good morning" she said placing her head back on his chest.

"Good morning" he slightly laughed at her expression. "Sleep well?"

"Hmmm" she replied out of tiredness.

"Rachel come on we best get up, it's like 7:30" he told her. As soon as the last word left his lips, she jumped off the sofa and ran toward the stair. Laughing furiously at her as she was cursing under her breathe the whole time.

A few minutes later she came back downstairs, with several items of clothing in her hand. She walked into the kitchen from what he could see from the sofa he was on. As she entered the room she told him to go into her room and be quite as Quinn was home, and get a shower. He did exactly as he was told and when he came back down he noticed she was showered and changed, and she was brushing her hair.

"Listen I'm gonna have to run home and change and tell my mom where I was" he told her. She nodded and said she would see him in school later on. Walking up to him she gave him a quick peck on the lips and continued with her hair.

Once she heard the door close, she stopped what she was doing, and wondered what the hell she was doing with this boy. She didn't want to get hurt. But thinking about it, her and Puck where just good friends and she hoped it would stay like that. She preferred it more than, him throwing slushies in her face and her throwing punches at his. A lot less messy and painful. For both cases.

So maybe a relationship like this sort could work. She liked how they spent time together and she loved there version of fun. He was a great kisser and they could stay friends without having to become overly involved. That way nobody gets hurt. Plus over the last few weeks, and whats happened she doesn't really think having a boyfriend would work right now, she needs to be free for a while and figure out who she is first before, she into a relationship with anyone.

"Rachel!" Quinn shouted from downstairs interupting her thoughts, "Sweetie you need to get up. We got school!".

"Oh crap!" Running upstairs into her room and telling Quinn she up be twenty minutes tops, Rachel began to get ready.

Quinn and Rachel walked into school arm in arm, going over what happened last night.

"Ha! I knew you too had a thing for each other, so does this mean your dating now?".

"No!" Rachel said a bit too quickly. "Where just friends thats all".

"Oh really, well if all 'friends' where to have make-out sessions like you just described, I'm pretty sure Kurt would want to be Puckerman's best friend" She laughed causing me to giggle at the thought.

"Quinn please don't tell the other what I just told you, I mean you can say he came around for sure, but not the whole make-out situation, please?" she pleaded.

"No problem, but I may have told them...well shown them when you and Puck where asleep at the house" she innocently grinned. Rachel just looked at her then shook my head. Walking to there lockers Rachel and Quinn kept talking as there lockers where basically next to each other. Closing her the little metal door Rachel jumped a little to find Santana and Brittney chatting behind it. When they saw Rachel they both stopped and smiled at her.

"Hello girls" she smiled at them.

"Hey Rach" Santana smiled. "So how are thing with you and Puck?"

"We can talk about after glee club, you girls doing anything later?" Rachel asked.

"No... well I mean I did have a date, but he just some lame guy who wants to get laid, I guess he can wait or find a different cheerio" Santana replied totally unbothered.

"And I can just cancel my date with snubbles, we can just re-book" Britney smiled innocently.

"Britney, snubbles is your cat" Santana said raising her eyebrow starring at her like she has three heads, matching the look Quinn and Rachel.

"Okay" Rachel said in a bit of a high pitched voice, still in total awe of Brittany's recent comeback, "well you may as well come round to mine later, invite the rest of the girls" Grabbing Quinn's arm the to two girls said there goodbye then where both off to there fist period.

Last Period, Noah was sitting at his desk in chem waiting for the clock to hit its target. As the bell finally went, Puck and his fellow students lept out there chairs, knocking a few over. Near enough running out the room. When the choir room was insight he began to slow down. Even though he wouldn't admit it out loud, Puck knew Glee club was his favourite part of school. Even better than throwing Jewfro and the rest of that stupid Glee news team or whatever he calls it into the dumpster. He is such a douche that kid. Jew or not, Puck really wouldn't mind if he got ran over by train or something.

Entering the choir room everyone was already there, including Mr. S. Giving everyone music papers. Looking around the room I saw Rachel sitting there studying the music in her hand. She looks cute when she concentrates. Walking up to the empty chair next to her, I sat down.

"So what song we singing today then?" He asked. Without breaking her concentration she passed him several sheets.

Sway By Dean Martin.

"Classic" Puck spoke, surprised by Mr. Shuester's choice in song. Clapping his hands, Will grabs the attention of the kids.

"Right, I guess your old wondering why where singing this as its different from New Directions orginal material" looking around all the faces of the kids Will carries on "well I was thinking maybe we could try some new stuff and experiment. You guys have so much potential and we need to find your strong points and weaker points and use that to our advantage. Whilst we where winning our sectionals, Vocal Adrenaline where winning theirs. And when we go to Regionals I wants is to be at our best. So if you guys have any ideas or songs or music genre's you wanna try, feel free to share them at the end of class".

Forty-five minutes later the guys where all scattered across the room shattered. And they had only started working out the first two versus choreography. They thought it would be best to try the technique on the types of dance they would choose, even though it would be obvious. Brittany was determined to make sure they did the correct movements properly. She would have made them carry on until Mr. Shue said it best be wise to think about the vocals before the choreography, which made sense to everyone else, just not her.

"So guys what do you want to do about the vocals" Will asked. Everyone turned to Rachel expecting her to tell them where they stand. Rachel just looked at them and nodded her head stood up walking to the front of the class.

"I think we should split it. The lead I mean, but if I had to choose the leads for this particular song, Santana and Artie. There voices would be perfect" She grinned.

The room was silent. They looked at her like she had just announced she was a male or something.

" What?" she asked in utter confusion why they where starring at her in such a manner. Mr. Shuester included.

"Please correct me I'm wrong but did Miss 'I love to hog and own the spotlight any chance I get' just advice a lead to someone that isn't her?" Kurt asked the group I'm all seriousness.

"I... I think she did" Quinn replied quietly still in shock.

" Do you think she's sick" Santana said still confused.

" Did she walk into a door or something" Tina soke.

"Maybe she fell down the stairs" Finn added.

"Maybe aliens have swapped her brain and she has the ability to share... I'll have to remember to thank them" Brittany said totally serious. All eyes where now refereed to Brittany.

Breaking the silence Rachel huffed at all this nonsense.

"Guys your all being ridiculous, I am not sick, haven't recently walked into any door, haven't fell down any stairs since I was 11, and Brit, aliens really?" The last part caused everyone to laugh except Brittney who was still considering the alien theory. "I just thought Santana and Artie's voice suited the sound better. Jeesh I can't win with any of you lot. You moan and roll your eyes when I get the spotlight have a nervous breakdown when I want to share it. I cant win" she huffed in frustration, which Puck found totally cute.

"Rach I not that where complaining or anything, but you never usually volunteer anyone for the lead other than yourself" Matt told her, "It's just a shock thats all".

"Why the sudden change of heart?" Mercedes asked.

"I dunno, maybe I've learned selfishness get you nowhere I guess" she said trying to avoid both Finn and Quinn's gaze. Well come on, they are the reason she had changed.

"Well Rachel, I am one to say that is a good lesson to have learned and I am proad of you for doing so" Mr. Shue told her honestly and smiled at her.

"Thank you Mr. Shue" Rachel replied before taking her seat again.

"Now guy back to the song. I think Rachel has a bit of a idea going on. Santana's voice is really good for this particular song, and Artie's voice would fit just as well. Does everyone agree" With the response of nods around the room, it was settled. "Right, well with that lets get started.

By the end of glee club they had devised the first half of the song and the girls where making there way back to Rachel's and Quinn's.

The two girls got home first walking to the front door as walked arms linked together. As they entered the front door Rachel's Dad's where in the kitchen.

"Hello Ladies"Karl and Harry in shouted unison .

After saying the quick hello the girls told them bout there friends coming around and they where totally fine with it. Besides Karl and Harry had to go to work at five and way. Meeting with a client or something like that.

So there you have it. Fun chapter and I shall try and get the next one up a bit sooner then it took me to update this one I promise.
