Chapter 9

So it was pretty damn terrible when it was Monday morning because Rachel just awoke with that sick feeling in her stomach again. She vomited again and Puck held her hair. (It had become a bit of a routine for them now.) After that, she showered for school before moving back into Puck's (their) bedroom to do her hair and make-up so he could grab a shower. After, it was breakfast. Puck kept on insisting his baby was starved. After, they dropped Hannah off to school seeing as Dana worked early and then they went off to school. Rachel dreaded school today.

As soon as she stepped in the doors of WMHS, she was pretty sure that the entire student body was staring at her. They all knew her secret, or perhaps it was the fact the Puck had his arm slung around her shoulder. She felt hot breath on her ear before hearing her boyfriend's comforting words.

"S'alright Rach, they're all just stunned that you managed to get a fucking stud like me."

Ok, so they were comforting in their own little way.

Puck walked her to her locker, seeing disgusted looks from various Cheerios; he smashed his lips with hers in the middle of the hallway, just to give them a show.

Puck walked her to her locker, never taking his eyes off her. He was going to do all he could to ensure that Rachel was good and nobody bothered her.

School passed in a blur, Brittany was constantly with Rachel as was Puck. Some of the Glee clubbers would ask her if she was alright (minus Santana and Quinn.) She'd been sick a couple of times so everyone was a bit freaked when she sprinted out during Mr Schuster's Spanish class.

It was Glee that day so Rachel walked in but she was a bit late. She plonked herself between Puck and Brittany who had been saving a seat for her. Most the people in this room knew she was pregnant, except the boys (minus Kurt and Puck) and Mr Schue. She could easily pass off her tiredness as just lack of sleep due to late-night dance rehearsals or something.

Glee practice was really tiring, more than it had been in a long time. She'd have to learn to deal with that over the next seven and a half months. That was a really long time, she decided. She didn't bother to try and get any solos or make any suggestions. She really just sat there and watched.

Finn approached her after practice. Not now, she thought.

"Hey Rach, are you okay? You just seem a bit disconnected that's all. Usually you're all in there but you aren't really today; sorry if I offended you but it's just kind of true you know?" But he was cut off, "Honestly Finn, I'm fine. I'm just a bit tired. You should go to Quinn, she's waiting. Noah's taking me home anyways."

Rachel started to walk towards Puck who was holding her bag. "Do you want me to take that Noah?" she asked indicating to her bag.

Puck shook his head, "Nope, you're not carrying anything."

Rachel just rolled her eyes and exited the room with Puck behind, muttering a few goodbyes to the Gleeks who remained.

The last thing she heard before she left the room was Mercedes saying "Hot damn mess."

As soon as they stepped into the Puckerman residence, Rachel just huffed and stepped upstairs. Puck ran after her only to find she'd flung herself down on his bed and was crying; he acted quickly and scooped her up in his arms.

"What's wrong babe?" he asked soothingly, only for her to flip completely.

"What's wrong? WHAT'S FUCKING WRONG? I'm sixteen, I'm pregnant, I have no parents and everyone at school makes a fool of me. So what's wrong Noah? Everything is absolutely wrong. This is not how my ten year plan was meant to work out like!"

Puck hated crying girls, he fucking hated it. It made him really uncomfortable to see them let out all their emotions and whatever so when his starts to sob even more than she already was, he was a bit lost on what to do. Rachel didn't have a mom he could call and he couldn't call his for advice because she was working and she was a bit of a nutcase anyways. So, he just held her. He held her until she fell asleep in his arms and then allowed himself to fall asleep too.

Dana got home later and went up to check on her son and Rachel. She knocked softy on the door but when there was no answer, she got a bit worried. So she opened the door slightly and saw her son holding his girlfriend in his arms, one of them draped over her belly. She smiled at the young couple. Even though she was upset about her son getting a girl pregnant in high school, she couldn't help but feel that what she saw was right. So, she grabbed her camera from the other room and took a picture of the sleeping teenagers before leaving them in peace.

When Puck woke up and went down, he was totally disturbed to find a picture of him holding his girlfriend on the fridge. When was that taken?

A/N: Sorry it's been so long guys! But I'm half way through the next chapter so hopefully that will be up sooner! And please review, it makes me smile ;)

Much Love,
