When Will got home that night, he was exhausted.
Rachel was sitting on the couch sewing a sampler and she smiled when he came in.
"Hi, honey. How was your day?"
He set down his briefcase and kissed her on the cheek. "Great, sweetheart. How were yours and Anna-Mae's?"
"Quite well. She had a great day at school."
He nodded and sat down. "Um, honey, I have to tell you something."
"Hmm?" She asked not looking up.
He rubbed his neck nervously. "Um, the Glee Club wants to meet you."
"Sure, I'd be glad to. Why are you so nervous?" She replied.
He hesitated. "Well…they want to meet you and…they want us to perform a duet."
She looked up. "Really?"
He nodded. "I told them I wasn't sure if you'd want to because we haven't sung together since our wedding…"
"Will, I'd be happy to perform a duet for the class! When did this happen?" She said with a smile.
"Well, their assignment this week was duets and two students came up and said that they were going to sing Endless Love. I told them that we sang it at our wedding and then the whole class suggested that you come in and we do a duet for them."
Her eyes brightened up. "Aw, that was sweet of them. What duet would you like to do?"
He shrugged. "I don't know, it's up to you."
She thought for a second. "Ooh, I think I have the perfect song!"
At the end of the week, Rachel came to visit the Glee Club. Everyone welcomed her warmly and expressed how they admired her.
Jason and Angie spoke up. "Mrs. Schuester, if it pleases you, we'd like to perform our duet for you."
Rachel smiled. "That would be nice, I'd love to see!"
She took her seat and they got into position.
"This is for you." They added.
My love, My first love, And I And your eyes Two hearts, Forever And love I'm sure 'Cause you, Bum, bum
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
(I-I-I-I-I)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you,
You know I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind
You mean the world to me
Oh
I know
I know
I've found in you
My endless love
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum Oooh, and love And, yes
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Oh, love
I'll be that fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh you know-
I don't mind
You'll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love
By the end of the song, Rachel was so touched; she was on the verge of tears. Will held her hand the whole time and gave it a heartfelt squeeze.
She wiped away her tears. "That was quite beautiful."
Suddenly Jennifer spoke up. "Mr. Schuester, have you and Mrs. Schuester worked on a duet?"
He chuckled. "You sound just like me, Jenny. But to answer your question, yes we have."
Rachel took his hand and led him to the front of the room. "We will be singing At the Beginning by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis."
Everyone nodded. Rachel nodded to the pianist and he began playing.
We were strangers starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start
And life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers on a crazy adventure And life a road and I wanna keep going Knew there was somebody somewhere And life is a road and I wanna keep going Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
When they finished the song, everyone clapped and cheered.
"You are a really good singer, Mrs. Schuester!" Angie cried.
Rachel blushed. "Well I was a Broadway Actress sometime back."
Everyone's mouth fell open.
After he dismissed them, Will gave her a big kiss. "You should come back sometime. They love you!"
She snuggled up to him. "Not as much as they love you. And we should also do duets for them."
He nodded. "I think that song has brought us a lot closer than you think."
"I believe so, too." She whispered.
I promise this isn't the end of it! Review, please!
