Thank you for the reviews! Sorry this has taken a while, I had a death in the family. I hope you enjoy this chapter, Please also review! :) LayX


When they drove passed the sign that said Welcome to Lima Rachel felt the knots in her stomach double "Stop the car, I can't do this!"

Santana stopped as she asked, but she made sure the doors were still locked from her side of the car, she wasn't going to let her run, not when she was four months pregnant and had nowhere to go "You can do it, I'll be with you the whole way, you've come this far you can't back out now!"

"I can back out whenever I want, San only you know about this please just take me back there, please don't make me do this" her eyes were pleading burning into Santana's, but there was no way the Latina was going to let her just go back to another life where she had no one.

"No" it was firm and it made Rachel snap out of whatever she was thinking "I'm taking you home whether you are willing to go or whether I have to drag you there by the hair, I will do it Rachel and you know I will" she was speaking the truth Santana was fierce and never backed out of her word "It's better for both of us if you just do it, your strong, everyone will be happy to see you Rachel, they won't care where you've been or anything else, just as long as they have you back now"

"Do you really believe that? Do you think that Puck won't ask question, won't yell at me for everything? My dad's may just hold me in their arms and thank whoever from bringing me back safe, but not Puck he'll hate me, he'll want to kill me with his own bare hands"

"Now do you really believe that? I know Puck, Noah and I know that he'll feel relief when he sees you, he may ask you where you where and why you did it, but he won't want to kill you, if anything he won't want to do anything to you because he'll be terrified of you leaving again, he has no hope that your ever coming back, he's basically lost the will to live, when he sees you again his life will get better"

"How can he have lost everything? I was one girl, it was two weeks" Rachel had been telling herself that for a long time, that he would move on and find some other girls to have sex with, because that's what Puck was like, he had one girl one night and another the next, he may have been faithful to Rachel for the two weeks they were together and the month or so after that when she broke up with him, but she never really thought she had made an impact on his life

"You were different and you know that, he fell in love with you. You weren't like any other girl he had before; he had been after you since he joined the glee club. He never thought you would go for him so he settled for less and when you finally went out with him he felt like his life was good for a change and that he didn't need any other girl, and when you broke up with him no one could do anything to help him. This sounds like some over dramatic love story or something, but Rachel it's not this is real life as hard as it is to believe it happened"

"I never thought I could turn someone, besides my own life around"

"You've turned a lot of people's upside down. Now can we go and change that back?"

Rachel nodded not trusting her voice; she was scared she would say no again.


When they got the end of Rachel's street and she could finally see her house, she felt a sense of relief. It was short lived though when panic set in and washed over her entire body. She could feel her stomach turn inside and she felt like she was about to throw up. This couldn't be happening, never in Rachel's life would she have expected to be nervous to see her dads, she never expected any of this really. She always had her life planned out, she would make it to Broadway and be a huge star and then once her career was over she would settle down with her husband and start a family, she never thought that she would be pregnant at sixteen with no husband. She never thought she would run away, Rachel was always so close to her dad's but she felt this was too much and she couldn't turn to them, she couldn't turn to anyone so she did the cowardly thing and ran.

Santana held out her hand when they pulled into the driveway, Rachel took it graciously and she felt Santana squeeze it a little. She looked at her nervously and stepped out of the car, there was no sense in waiting she would only put herself off more.

Once she was out of the car Santana joined the hands together again and they walked slowly towards the door.

She didn't know what to do now, whether to knock, ring the door bell or to walk on in. The door would be open because her father's always left it like that and she could tell from the small crack that it was already open. She chose the doorbell because if she did just walk on in she didn't know what welcome she would get.

It took them a minute to answer the door and when they did it was both of them, just like usually and both of their jaws dropped and tears formed in their eyes. Neither said a word instead embracing their daughter in a hug. She thought they would never let go, sinking her head into Damien's shoulder her arms wrapping round both of them as she cried softly.

The pulled away after a few minutes and looked at her

"Why did you leave us?" Hiram said sadly still looking at her like she wasn't real, his eyes were lit up like all his Christmas's had come at once and Damien looked the same he hadn't said anything yet though.

She shrugged her shoulders "I'm so sorry I couldn't handle everything and I didn't know what to do, I didn't want you to be ashamed of me"

"Ashamed?" Damien said, it was as if Rachel had just insulted him in the worst way possible "We could never be ashamed of you, I'm almost ashamed that you would even think that, you can come to us anytime for anything, you never have to feel alone or like no one will understand and you will fall into blame, Rachel darling we love you"

"I love you too" sobs were escaping her now as she fell back into her father's arms

"I'll leave you guys to it, call me if you need anything Rach" Santana said excusing herself from the situation, she didn't feel right being there it was a family thing.

"Thank you San, and I'm sorry for whatever I made you feel. You're a great friend and I will call you, I promise"

"Thank you for bringing our baby home to us" Hiram gushed at Santana "Do you need a ride home?" he asked noticing only Rachel's car in the drive

She shook her head "No, Britt is going to come and get me, thank you. You guys need time"

They all smiled at her before going into the house.

"I want you to tell me everything, we won't judge you or interrupt until your finished, let everything out because I never want you to do anything like that again" Hiram said once they were all in the living room.

Rachel took a deep breath and began "Noah took me on a car ride, we skipped school and just drove off, I don't know why he chose me to go along but it was a nice day. He told me that it was Beth his daughter's birthday and he got pretty upset so I consoled him and talked to him and stuff and then we went to glee club and after that I went home. He called me that night and was upset again, Quinn had gotten to him and stuff so I invited him over so we ended up sleeping together that night. After that as you know I began dating him. But my period was due a few days later and it never came so I waited a while until it was a full week late and I'm never late so I did a test and it was positive so I panicked, I didn't tell anyone." She sighed "I was so ashamed and scared and I didn't know what to do, abortion crossed my mind but I couldn't do it, it didn't take long to figure that out, I wanted to tell Noah but I couldn't do it to him after what Quinn did so I started to avoid him and Santana and Brittany too, pretty much the whole glee club, my head was everywhere and people were getting annoyed at me so I quit and I couldn't take thing anymore so I took off, I drove up North and I couldn't come home" tears were spilling from her eyes now, she thought she was being so selfish and she hated herself right now

"I wish you would have come to us, but were not blaming you Rachie, we love you very much and we are going to be here for you throughout this, and you can come to us at anytime and we'll help you with whatever you need, please just don't run away again"

"I promise I won't, I'll need you"

"And we need you" Damien smiled

"Now what Noah, does he know yet?" Hiram was afraid to ask, not wanting to trigger anything to fast in Rachel, but it wasn't fair on the boy

Rachel shook her head, he eyes looking to the ground "I can't tell him daddy, I don't know what he'll think"

"We can call him round and we can be here for you, we'll stay out of your way. You need to talk to him and let him in, he needs to know about this the sooner the better there's no way you can keep this from him and it would be cruel to even try."

She nodded her head "I know, can I have something to eat first? I promise I won't back out"

Her dad's smiled and put their arms around there daughter one more time before heading off to the kitchen.

They were mad at her yes, but they had never been so happy in their lives to have her back, living for those few months without her was like living without a heart, it hurt them so badly when she left and they couldn't go a day without thinking about her or worrying. It was nice to have her back in there house safe and well.
