I'm sorry for not updating in so long. I was cramming for two weeks worth of finals and after that I just got in my car and I road tripped all the way to Tahoe with friends. I came back a few days ago to spend holidays with my family and now I am back to updating. Hopefully I can finish this story soon so I can finish all of my other stories before winter break ends but thank you guys for waiting. I hope you all have a fun and safe holiday vacation.

Puck quickly helped Rachel back into the bed as nurses came rushing in quickly. They checked her vitals and felt around Rachel's abdomen for any tense spots. After a few minutes, one of the nurses imputed medication through Rachel's IV.

"This should calm you down for now but I want you to relax. I know that this may be hard for you," the nurse said to Rachel reassuringly. Rachel nodded taking in deep breaths to try to relax. The nurse gave Rachel a small smile before focusing her attention to Puck. "May I speak to you outside?" Puck nodded his head and followed the young nurse out the door.

"I'm assuming you're the father," she said. Puck folded his arms in front of him not liking her tone of voice.

"Well you know what they say when you assume you make an ass out of you and me," he said. The nurse scowled at him before rolling her eyes and replying.

"Are you?" Puck nodded. "Okay then, Rachel's in critical condition and she does not need to be stressed more than usual. We're trying to keep those babies in her as much as possible and by you going around yelling, it's not going to happen. If something like this happens again, I'm going to have to ask security to escort you out."

"Are we done here?" he asked annoyed. She nodded. He turned around and went back into Rachel's room closing the door behind him to shut the nosy nurse out.

"Look, I'm going to drop this just because I don't want anything to happen to the babies but don't think this is settled. We still need to talk about this."

"Thank you for understanding Noah."

"This is not for you. This is for my children," he said turning around and sitting at the far end of the room. He pulled out his iPod from his jean pocket and put on his earphones. Rachel looked at him sadly as she caressed her swollen stomach. Minutes later, Quinn walked into the room.

"Get out of here," Quinn whispered to Puck. Puck nodded and got out of his chair letting the two girls talk. Once the door was closed, Quinn immediately ran over to Rachel and captured her in her arms. On contact, Rachel started to break down. She tried to be strong but even with all of her training, she did not know how long she was going to be able to pull it off.

"I was so worried," Quinn said. She too had tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Quinn let go of Rachel and sat beside her.

"Why didn't you tell me Rach? You know I would've been there for you. I know more than anyone how it feels."

"I know, that's why I had to get away."

"I don't understand." Rachel let out a deep sigh as she wiped the tears furiously away from her face.

"You were pregnant with Noah's baby and you just gave her up. I know it still hurts you thinking about her. I didn't want to tell you about my pregnancy because I didn't want to remind you of everything that you've been through. You've gone through enough already." Quinn replied back by hitting Rachel gently in the arm.

"First of all, I wasn't pregnant with Noah's baby. I was pregnant with Puck's baby. There's a big difference between the guy that impregnated you and the one who impregnated me. He loves you Rachel."

"That's not what he said," Rachel said softly fiddling with the corner of the blanket provided for her. Quinn rose up her hand to signal Rachel to stop.

"Secondly, you're my best friend. I would be right there beside you even if you decided to jump out of an airplane. I love my daughter and yes it took Puck and I awhile to get over our loss but I know that she's in a better place, getting the best opportunities out there for her. I couldn't give her everything she wanted but I know that I not only gave her the best life I could, I also gave two people the life they never could have by themselves." Rachel nodded taking everything her friend said into consideration.

"Do you think I'm stupid for keeping the babies? I mean there are two. How can a 16 year old girl take care of two infants?" Quinn shook her head lightly before giving Rachel a reassuring smile.

"I don't think you're stupid. You're brave, much braver than I ever was. I know that you can be a good mom. You're Rachel Berry and Rachel Berry puts her all into everything," Quinn said with a smile, "and with me, your parents, Puck, his family and all of your friends, there's nothing these babies will do without." Rachel hugged Quinn tightly as she whispered thanks in her ear.

"I really needed to hear that Quinn."

"And give Puck some time, he'll eventually come around. He's been beating himself up since you left. Then when he got the phone call, he was in a state of panic. He's taking a lot in right now so don't take anything he says to heart."

"What would I do without you," Rachel said giggling. It was the first time she had laughed throughout the duration of her hospital stay.

"You probably wouldn't be able to survive," Quinn retorted back. Rachel rolled her eyes before laying back into the pillows.

"And to think, a year ago we were enemies."

"A year and three babies ago."

"Oh god," Rachel said laughing. Quinn joined in and the two friends sat and talked in comfort. While Quinn and Rachel were in the room talking, most of the glee kids were getting ready to leave. None of them knew how to process the fact that Rachel was pregnant.

"Wait, how will Quinn get back to the inn?" Finn asked.

"I can call a friend to come pick her up," Jo said. Finn nodded his head.

"Okay, so let's all say goodbye to Rachel before we leave," Mr. Schue said. The glee kids began to make their way to Rachel's room with the exception of Santana.

"Go ahead. I'll say goodbye to her later; I need to do something first." Mr. Schue and the rest of the glee kids nodded their heads knowing exactly what Santana was going to do. She turned on her heel and made her way out the door to the bench that Puck had been sitting on since Quinn told him to leave.

"How are you doing?" Santana asked taking the seat next to him.

"How do you think I feel San? She lied to me. It's just like baby gate all over again but at least I knew when Quinn was pregnant and I was there to help her." Santana shrugged.

"She was coming back. She was going to let you be a part of the pregnancy. I'm not saying that what she did wasn't messed up but she did have her reasons."

"Do you think those reasons matter to me?" he said furiously. Santana folded her arms and scowled at him.

"Do you think that by not being there while she was pregnant makes you like your precious daddy?" she retorted.

"Fuck off Lopez. Whatever happened to loyalty," Puck said avoiding her gaze. Santana's gaze softened.

"Look, I'm not telling you to go in there and tell her you love her. I'm not telling you to start a life with her but the both of you made a family together. You have to get along with her and forgive her because if you don't you'll end up losing her. Just because you weren't there doesn't make you your father, what you do from now on is what decides your fate." Santana sighed when Puck did nothing to respond.

"Do whatever you want. Sit here and sulk all day. I'm going to say bye to my friend Rachel. You might be one of my best friends Puck, but you're also in the wrong here." Santana got off the bench and made her way over o Rachel's room to say goodbye along with the others. They all stood around Rachel's bedside and tried to keep her mind at ease. After they left, Quinn and Rachel sat in comfortable silence watching RENT on the TV.

"As much as I don't want to, I have to go," Quinn said checking her watch, "visiting hours are almost over and I know someone doesn't like waiting outside." Rachel sat up in her bed trying to peak out the door.

"He's still here?" she asked. Quinn nodded.

"He's been waiting outside ever since I came in. He doesn't want to leave."

"Thank you for keeping me company."

"Anytime," Quinn said giving Rachel a tight squeeze.

Review please! :)
