Rachel transferred back to McKinley. She joined Glee again. Faked a smile all day. Dave was sitting next to her in most of her classes. Finn talked to her a lot, too. At night she would watch Annette, feed her, bathe her, love her. All by herself. When Annette turned 1 Puck just looked at Rachel all day.
But now, here she was. 5 years later and a crazy 5 year old at her said. Long wavy brown hair flowing down both of their backs. Hazel eyes looked up at Rachel's brown eyes.
"Who lives her, mommy?" Annette asked. Rachel had taking up calling her Annie though.
"Your daddy." Rachel choked out. She walked up the sidewalk to the front porch of the Puckerman house. She knew Puck was in town, she had seen him at the supermarket. Never letting him see her though. She knocked on the door. A 16 year old Sally opened the door.
"Rachel Karofsky. What a surprise." Sally said with a smirk. "You haven't changed at all." Rachel smiled.
"Is Puck here?" Rachel asked. Sally nodded and called Puck's name. Puck came to the front door, shirtless. He took one look at Rachel and sighed.
"Rachel." He said quietly.
"Noah." Rachel said back at him. Annie looked up at the man.
"Mommy, is this daddy?" She asked. Puck didn't even notice the little girl until just now. She had most of Rachel's features, except for her nose, eyes, and sometimes even her smile. Puck smiled a bit.
"Is this Annette?" Puck asked, looking at Rachel. Rachel nodded.
"I thought you might actually like to see your daughter. As a birthday present. Happy birthday, Puck." Rachel said. Puck smiled.
"You remembered after all these years?" He asked surprised, Rachel smiled and nodded.
"I could never forget." Rachel said, she picked Annette up into her arms and smiled. Puck looked at the two.
"If I didn't know better, I would think this little girl was your sister. Not your daughter." Rachel rolled her eyes. "Can I hold her?" He asked castiously. Annette nodded for Rachel. Rachel handed Annette over to Puck. "She's beautiful." He commented.
Rachel nodded. "Been that way since day 1."
Puck grinned and looked at Rachel. "You didn't let me finish. She's beautiful, just like her mother." Rachel blushed a bit and bit her bottom lip. Puck took the moment to kiss her. Rachel closed her eyes, and so did Puck. Rachel covered Annette's eyes while they kissed. As Puck broke the kiss, Rachel lowered her hand from Annette.
"That was nice." Rachel said.
"Very nice." Puck said. He grinned. "Are you doing anything tomorrow night?" He askd. Rachel shook her head. "Want to go out with me?" He asked. Rachel grinned.
"I'd love to." She said with a bigger grin.

Two years later Rachel was walking down the aisle. Annette waited at the end of it holding a white basket, still filled with some flower petals. Rachel looked at Puck through her veil. Finn stood beside him. Rachel grinned at her Maid of Honor, Quinn. She saw Jesse was on the bride's side. She smiled at him. They had come to good terms finally. She was happy. Jesse was a great friend.
As Rachel finished her way down the aisle and her dad gave her away and lifted her veil, she was stil grinning. Of course they were adding Jewish culture into the wedding. So at the end, Puck stomped on the glass after they both drank from the cup. Then Puck got to kiss her, which was his favorite part. He bent her down.
At the reception Puck leaned over to whisper in her ear. "Finn's going to watch Annette for us while we have our honeymoon. More baby making?" He asked hopeful. They had been so careful when they were dating, not wanting to become pregnant unplanned. Rachel giggled and nodded.
"Of course." She said, kissing Puck's cheek. Jesse walked up with a smile.
"Congratulations, you two." He said, with a real smile.
"Thanks." Puck said. Jesse smiled.
"You won." Jesse said, making Puck laugh, Jesse laughed with her.
"I know." Puck said, taking Racel's hand. "And I got a great prize."

The end... I have no other story ideas... unless I do one with Rachel and Jesse. I need some St. Berry. Or maybe I should write another Finchel. Who knows. Oh! I could bring Beth into one where when Beth is older she looks for her real parents. Which Shelby knows why. Any ideas?
