"Mom?" Puck called when they walked into the house twenty minutes later. He found her sat at the table nursing a cup of coffee. "The police been?"
"They said there isn't much they can do but they took a report. Hello Rachel."
"Hi Mrs Puckerman." Rachel greeted her. "This is for you." Rachel handed her a business card.
"What is it?"
"He's Daddy's best friend. He's a lawyer he'll help you with everything free of charge. He has an investigator that can find anyone even if they don't want to be found."
"Thank you." Mrs Puckerman gave her a weak smile.
"If you need anything give my dads a call." Rachel told. Puck tugged her out into the hallway.
"You didn't have to do that." He pointed out.
"I wanted to. I need to change into something more appropriate. May I use your room?"
"Sure."
"You can't be in it at the time." Rachel stated.
"Just as my day was looking up." He smirked before giving her a quick kiss. "Go change."
A few hours later Rachel was taking a break from her boxing lesson as Puck had gone to the bathroom.
"Rachel, Mom wants to know if you're staying for dinner." Sarah, Puck's little sister came down into the room.
"I wouldn't want to impose."
"She's already cooking some vegetable something. She likes being busy."
"Then that would be lovely." Rachel smiled. "How are you doing?"
"I don't remember him. He left when I was a baby." She shrugged.
"That doesn't mean you don't have to not have right to be upset or have an opinion or hit a punch bag."
"What's going on?" Puck asked when he returned a few minutes later.
"Rachel's staying for dinner." Sarah said as she hit the punch bag.
"And Sarah is working through some emotional issues with controlled violence." Rachel added.
"You should spread your feet further apart." Puck recommended moving in to help his sister.
Rachel was surprised when the doorbell rang at 9am on Sunday morning her parents had left twenty minutes earlier to spend the day with friends.
"Noah?" She smiled when she opened the door. "What are you doing here?"
"I brought dinner and a movie." He held up the bag that was in his hand.
"It's nine am. There is a little early for dinner."
"Then you'll just have to make me lunch." He kissed her before walking inside; rolling her eyes Rachel closed the door.
"What movie did you bring?" She inquired.
"I brought four. It's time you were introduced to John McClane and all four Die Hard movies."
"That will probably take us until dinner." She smiled. "I'll grab us some drinks and put that in the refrigerator."
She returned a few minutes later, when Puck had set up the big screen tv and had settled on the couch.
"So your mom doesn't mind you being out all day?"
"She wanted to spend some time alone with Sarah."
"So you thought you would come and keep me company. That's sweet Noah." She kissed him, before curling up next to him, Puck wrapped an arm around him holding her close and pressed play on the remote.
When Rachel's parents arrived home at just after eight that night, Puck was sat with his feet on the coffee table watching the end of Die Hard 4, Rachel was asleep her head resting on a cushion in Puck's lap.
"Noah." One of her father's greeted him.
"She fell asleep about five minutes ago, there is pizza in the kitchen." The sound of the plane exploding woke Rachel up with a start.
"Hey pumpkin." Her father smiled. "Have you had a good day?"
"We've been watching all the Die Hard movies." Rachel rubbed her eyes and then tried to flatten her hair. "We also made pizza."
"Finish watching your movie and then it's time for Noah to go home, it is a school night." Her father instructed.
When the movie was over Rachel walked Puck to the door.
"I'll see you at school tomorrow." Puck said as he tugged her outside so he could kiss her without her parents being in the same room. Puck didn't usually do parents but Rachel's dads were cool and weren't overly concerned that their only daughter was dating the town bad boy who had spent time in juvie. "Goodnight. He kissed her forehead.
"Night."
