"You know you don't have to cook, Babe. You're the guest," Puck said hugging Rachel from behind as she stirred two different pans whilst checking on the rice at the same time.

"Yes I do because as we both know, you cannot cook," Rachel replied and snuggled into his embrace.

He chuckled slightly and his hands started wandering over her body but just as they were about to kiss, Sarah, Puck's twelve year old sister, burst into the room screaming, "Rachel!" The two teens pulled back from each other and Rachel rushed over to Sarah.

"Hello gorgeous," she greeted pulling her into a hug.

"Hey!" Sarah replied and smiled at Rachel. "I've really missed you."

Rachel was like a big sister to Sarah, she was the first one she turned to when she needed help. There were times when it was a shock to see them apart from each other. All of this changed when Rachel started high school and Puck became a jock and she got bullied. Sarah had yelled at her brother for being mean but he just shrugged her off. The truth was he hated what he was doing but couldn't stop because he didn't want to be in her position. When they started dating in sophomore year, he was happy. He enjoyed being with her but the slushie to the face was just too much so he ended it; he regretted it as soon as it happened but that's life. All he can do now is prove that he'll stay with her and the babies, which is what he wanted, no, needed to do. Rachel was his life and he'd never go back to what he was.

"I'm not going anywhere," Rachel promised.

"Yeah, because you're going to give birth to my nieces/nephews," Sarah said happily.

"Exactly."

Rachel had to turn her attention back to the food now. The rice was almost done and she had a couple of things to add to the chilli. For Puck, Sarah and Edith, she'd prepared a beef chilli; she made Puck chop and start cooking the meat so she didn't have nightmares of the cows coming after her like she'd had the chickens after being egged. She had cooked a tofu version for herself.

Once the meal was cooked, Puck carried a dish to his mother, who was lying on the sofa cover in many blankets to keep her warm and Rachel dished up for her, Sarah and Puck. The meal was quiet, all were enjoying the food. After the meal, Rachel stood and began to clear the pots.

"I'll do that, Rach," Sarah insisted and took the plates out of her hands, "You're pregnant after all."

"I'm not incapable though," Rachel replied.

"You did all the cooking, it's only fair," Sarah shrugged.

"Just let her, Baby," Puck said to Rachel laughing at the two. "Just remember S, your dad will be here in an hour and you're staying there for the night. He'll take you to school in the morning too so take your books."

Sarah nodded and finished the dishes. She and Puck had different fathers; Puck's had walked out on them years ago and Edith and Nigel, Sarah's dad, just didn't work out. It was hard for Puck; he grew up without a man in the house. It was Hiram and Leroy who were the role models for him, which made it worse when he teased Rachel, knowing they would hate him too. They were angry but when he apologised and the two became friends, they forgave him. They were shockingly not angry when Rachel announced he was the father to the babies, they were disappointed, which was much worse. Puck still shivers when he thinks about the conversation that had gone on. Hiram and Leroy wanted to speak to Puck personally before he told his mother about the situation.

Rachel had text him earlier saying that her fathers wanted to see him regarding the pregnancy. Before he left, he hugged his sister and told her and his mother that he had very important news to tell them when he got home. Sarah insisted that he should tell them now but he told her that he needed to know some details before he could tell her. He knew she was annoyed but she let it drop and he drove to the Berrys' house.

He took a deep breath and then turned the ignition off and walked up to the door. He raised his fist to knock but the door flew open before he could and there stood Rachel. As soon as she saw him, her face broke out into a bright smile, a smile she does every time she sees him.

"Hello, Noah," she greeted, "Come in."

She stepped back and he stepped over the threshold. Rachel then turned and walked into the kitchen where the two Mr Berrys were sat and they looked like they meant business. The normal cheery Puck was replaced by a very guilty, self-conscious Noah.

"Sit down, Noah," Leroy commanded and he sat straight away.

"You're not the only one in trouble but seeing as it was you who was topping up Rachel's alcohol, you're getting most of the blame," Hiram began. Puck nodded in agreement and to show he understood.

"You know how fond we are of you, Noah; you're a good boy, even if you have had a couple of bad moments." Puck was reminded of the slushies and being in prison for a while and gulped. "But we are highly disappointed in what has happened," Leroy continued.

Puck nodded his head again and glanced at Rachel. She was biting her bottom lip and had a similar guilty expression he was holding.

"Now, we have enough money to help Rachel with the pregnancy and we are going to support her the whole way through, but that doesn't mean you don't have to," Hiram said seriously. "You are the one who got her pregnant, Noah, you cannot abandon her. We are aware that she is currently with Finn, which will have to end," he looked at Rachel and she nodded slightly, "we are not saying you have to be romantic, though we would love that if it happened, you just need to be there."

"I promise," Puck said, speaking for the first time. "I want to be with Rachel, I love her and I already love the baby. I'm here whenever she needs me."

"Thank you," All three muttered and he looked over to Rachel, she had tears in her eyes but she was smiling, meaning they were happy tears.

"Can I tell my mom?" Puck asked.

"That would be wise," Hiram replied.

So far, Puck had kept his promise and was planning on continuing it. He always tried to comfort Rachel when she was upset and helped her when she had to throw up. He promised that he'd be at every hospital appointment and that he would be there for her when it was time to push. He hadn't skipped a lesson since the day she told him she was pregnant and his grades had shot up. He then thought back to the night he told his mom that she was going to be a grandmother properly and her reaction shocked him.

"Mom?" Puck called as he walked back into his house. He threw his keys onto the counter and slipped off his shoes.

"In the lounge," Edith replied. Puck walked in and saw her sitting by the fire knitting, it was her favourite pastime, it kept her concentrating and moving and she was making something. Sarah was sat on the sofa watching the television.

"So what is it you need to tell us?" Sarah asked when she saw him.

Puck turned off the TV and asked his mom to put the knitting needles down so she had her full attention on him. He also asked her to put them down so she wouldn't spear him when she found out, he didn't voice this though.

"I'm going to be a father again," he blurted hoping saying it fast would make the reaction better.

"Does that mean I'm going to be an auntie or are you giving this one away too?" Sarah asked, her eyes lighting up with joy and then it faded when she mentioned the last part.

"Yes, you will this time," he replied and she jumped off the sofa and hugged him tightly. He looked at his mother expecting the worst.

"Who's the girl?" His mother asked.

"Rachel," he muttered and then his mother smiled as brightly as Sarah had.

"I'm disappointed in the fact you're only just 18 but I'm so happy you are together and are giving me a grandchild. I love you, Noah!" She said and stood up and hugged him.

"I love you, too," he replied and pulled his mother close, kissing her temple. Not to be left out, Sarah stood and joined the hug.

Puck smiled at the fond memory and Rachel raised her eyebrow at him, "What are you smiling at?"

"When I told Mom about you being pregnant," Puck replied.

They were currently in Puck's room and Rachel was lying in his bed as he was meant to be completing his Biology homework.

"She took it better than I thought. Remember when we told her that they were twins?" She asked, remembering how happy Edith was that she jumped up and down and started hugging Rachel and Puck very tightly that breathing became a problem.

"Yeah, she's already started making cardigans and jumpers and stuff for the little ones," he replied. "When do we find out the sex of them?"

"In a couple of months," Rachel said sadly, she wanted to know if she had girls or boys or one of each.

"I want their middle names to be after our friends, so hopefully they'll be girls. Their middle names can be Santana and Mercedes," Puck told her and Rachel smiled at the idea. Mercedes and Santana would love it. She too hoped they were going to be girls. She enjoyed spending time with Beth the other day and made a mental note to go visit her mother sometime soon. However, if they were boys they could have the middle names as Kurt and Blaine, but then again that would be a little bit awkward if they broke up, but she knew that they were as solid as she and Puck were.

"I don't want to start thinking about names yet," Rachel said honestly, "I'd rather concentrate on school and hoping the morning sickness will stop."

"It's less consistent though," he commented as he shut his biology book. He didn't know why he'd attempted to do his work when Rachel was in his room. He then sat on the bed next to her and stroked her hair. "That's a good thing right?"

"Yes."

Rachel pulled on his arm to get him to lie next to her. She then laced their fingers together and kissed him.

"I love you," she whispered. It was the first time she'd said it out loud. Puck smiled and kissed her deeply before replying: "I love you, too." It wasn't also the first time he'd said it to her but with her saying it first, it felt so much better. They continued to kiss until Rachel's phone went off.

"I hate you right now," she growled down the phone. Puck started laughing hysterically at her so she hit him with a pillow.

"That's not a very nice thing to say to your mother," Shelby replied down the phone. "You're with Puck aren't you? Sorry!"

"You will be," Rachel joked. "What's up, Mom?"

"Can you babysit again on Friday?" She asked. After Glee club today, the one Rachel and Puck didn't attend, Will had asked Shelby on another date.

"Sure, we'll be there," Rachel replied. "You and Mr Schuester seem to be getting close."

"I know and I like where it's going," Shelby admitted.

"You're so cute," Rachel laughed down the phone.

"I'm going to go so Noah doesn't kill me for interrupting you," Shelby said awkwardly.

"No, Mom, we weren't doing that!"

"I don't want to know. Goodnight darling, I'd say be safe but you're already pregnant so…"

"Goodbye Mother!" Rachel cried and hung up. Her face was beet red in embarrassment. It didn't help that Puck was still laughing at her. "I've got a pretty good way to shut you up right now," she whispered seductively. What? Her mom pretty much said it was okay. Puck stopped laughing immediately and their night got hotter.
