Puck leaned back in his restaurant chair and crossed his arms surveying the rest of the glee clubbers gathered around him. Everyone was there except for Finn, who from his last postcard was working on a ranch in Bolivia; Santana, Brittany, and Quinn who had small children and couldn't get a sitter; and Mercedes and Kurt who were doing clothes buying in Europe for an upcoming had told Rachel that he'd wanted her to come out, but he'd known she was gonna say no, the slap wasn't expected, the no definitely was. He'd called the meeting because like her dads he was really worried about Rachel. He'd been the only one from the club to come to their wedding, he'd met Dawn a few times and she was great. He wouldn't have been able to make anyone better for their diva. Maybe it was selfish of him, but he didn't want this drained, defeated version of his Jewish princess, he wanted the Rachel that had slapped the hell out of him this afternoon.
"So, Puckerman what's the plan?" Lauren Zizes asked her ex-boyfriend taking a swig of her beer.
"I don't know..."
"Great going Puck, how are we suppose to help with no plan." Artie asked leaning over and laying a kiss on Tina's cheek. They'd been married for five years now and Tina was currently pregnant with the first children, fraternal twins.
"Hey, lay off, I just I want Rach to know we care about her, we're still a family..."
"I agree with Puck," Mike quietly added from his seat between Lauren and Sam.
"Me too, maybe we could I dunno...we could like ambush her house. You know like show up to see her, force her out...?" Sam brushed blonde tresses out of his eyes, even in his early thirties he refused to cut his hair.
"Yeah, we could do that and she could push us so far away that we can rename her Pluto." Lauren scoffed rolling her eyes.
" I don't see you coming up with any bright ideas, Zizes." Sam retorted.
"Hey! We're not here to argue, ok? We're brainstorming..."
"We need more brains for that..." Zizes mumbled.
"Maybe we need everyone's input. I mean we can't bombard Rachel that's already proven to only anger her. Maybe there's some different ways that each of us, and by each I mean all of us, can show her that we care." Tina piped in ignoring Lauren's grumbling.
"That's a pretty good idea, baby."
"Yeah, like I could get Finn to maybe write her or send something and Puck you can talk to Quinn maybe she can put her degree to some adult-sized use." Sam agreed.
"Yea, yea..." Puck smiled widely "...Operation: JewBerry Cares is a go."
So, yeah this chap is just short filler, but some chaps are, and I don't see the chapters for this fic ever getting to the point where they're epically long.
Next chap...some Max/Quinn/Dean Bonding and the introduction of Leia...
