A/N: This chapter is a little more adult, but nothing you wouldn't see on TV. If you're younger you may want to skip it.

"Rach?" Puck woke up it was three am; the other side of the hotel room bed was empty. He flicked on the light.

"Sorry did I wake you?" Rachel whispered.

Puck looked around to see her sitting in a chair by the window.

"What are you doing up?"

"I'm hot." Rachel replied.

"You're always hot babe." Puck rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

"You need to work on being less cheesy in the middle of the night." Rachel couldn't help but smile. "I'm basically a human incubator for the next seven months and my thermostat is on the blink."

"Nice analogy. Why didn't you wake me up?" He yawned.

"You need your sleep."

"Babe, it's our wedding night you're not supposed to get much sleep." He moved off the bed towards her.

"Noah I love you but right now you're like a human hot water bottle."

"You know you could strip." He suggested Rachel was just wearing her bra and his boxer shorts.

"You're the exhibitionist in this relationship." Rachel reminded him.

"So that's no to Naked Wednesdays? Damn I should have had it written in the vows." He crouched in front of her.

"You should go back to bed."

"Not a chance." He smiled.

"So what is this I hear about a honeymoon? I thought we were just going to stay in Lima until we went back to school?"

"I knew Kurt couldn't keep his mouth shut." Puck shook his head. "You know that place on the lake that Blaine and Becky inherited from their grandparents last year? Blaine called and asked if we wanted to borrow it for the rest of the week. We'll drive up tomorrow and then come back on Sunday morning. Caitlin's taking the jet to visit her parents who are vacationing in Napa, so she's going to stop by and pick us up on the way back to New York."

"I'm surprised you managed to keep it a secret."

"Kurt hasn't let me talk to you in days." Puck reminded her with a quick kiss. "I have an idea I'll be back." He grabbed his discarded pants and dragged them on before disappearing out of the room. He returned a few minutes later with an ice bucket. "Come and lie on the bed.

Rachel conceded and lay as requested. Puck grabbed one of the ice cubes and sat next to Rachel on the bed. He ran it slowly up her arm. Rachel shivered.

"How does that feel?" He asked.

"Great, but you still feel like a hot water bottle."

"Ok so no touching." He placed an ice-cube in his mouth and kissed her stomach just over where the baby was growing.

"What happened to not touching?"

"No hands." He mumbled the ice-cube still in his mouth as he held up his hands. Rachel couldn't help but laugh.

"You're incorrigible and I think you need a cold shower."

"Sounds good want to join me?" He offered.

Rachel giggled.

"Noah shut up and kiss me."

"Yes ma'am."

"Wow, look at this place. It's huge." Rachel stood admiring the Anderson lake house. "It's beautiful."

"Babe, you should probably turn around." Puck suggested.

"Wow." Rachel said as she saw the midday sun reflecting off the water.

"Yeah." Puck wrapped an arm around her from behind and kissed the side of her neck. "Nice view and the lake ain't bad either."

"Charmer." Rachel smiled. "But I need to eat."

"You just ate an entire packet of Oreos." Puck pointed out.

"I'm eating while I can before the morning sickness kicks back in. Trust me it's not pretty."

"Don't worry I'll hold your hair back."

"I'd rather you didn't. How about we eat and then we can paddle in the water?"

"We may be on spring break, but spring definitely hasn't kicked in in Ohio. If you want water Blaine said the place has a hot tub."

"No hot tubs."

"You can go skinny dipping if you didn't bring you bikini?" He suggested.

"I'm not allowed in a hot tub. It was on the pamphlet the doctor gave me unless you want a boiled baby."

"So no hot tub."

"Kurt did mention that this place has a huge double shower." Rachel turned and wrapped her arms around Puck's neck.

"I like how you think Mrs Puckerman."

"And he requested we didn't do it in his bed. Their room is the second door at the top of the stairs."

"That leaves plenty of other rooms and I still need to carry you over the threshold." Puck scooped her up.

"Be careful I'm getting heavier."

"Babe I bench press more than you weigh."

Rachel was sat on her laptop a few days later typing.

"What are you up to?" Puck came and sat down in one of the empty chairs next to her.

"Homework. I have an assignment due on Tuesday." She replied.

"I guess that's what we get for getting married in college, homework on our honeymoon."

"I'll only be another hour I promise and then we can go for a walk." She suggested.

"Sounds good. Can you take a quick break?" He requested.

"Of course."

"I have something for you." He held up a brown envelope.

"You didn't decide you want a divorce already did you?" Rachel was concerned.

"You're not getting rid of me that easily." He assured her.

"Good. What's in the envelope?"

"Something I should have shown you a long time ago." He handed it to her.

Rachel opened the envelope intrigued and pulled out the paperwork inside.

"What's this?"

"My college admissions essay." He paused while she gave him a curious look. "I had to write about the biggest influence in my life. I picked you."

"Me?"

"Rach, I was a douche. I used to throw slushees at you and dump people in trash cans. I knocked my best friend's girlfriend up and thought nothing of getting drunk and sleeping with half the Cheerios on a Saturday night."

"I don't think I needed to know that."

"Rach my point is if it wasn't for you believing in me and making me want to be better I'd probably be in jail right now. I wanted to live up to your expectations."

"All I ever wanted was for you to be yourself not who you thought your friends wanted you to be."

"Exactly." He took her hand. "I stopped having to prove myself because you already thought I was good enough. I think you should read it because I love you and I want you to see how I see you. It hasn't changed since we were seventeen."

"Ok." She leant over and kissed him.

He watched as she read it and tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"You know I'm going to show this to everyone we know right?" She asked when she was done.

"I'd rather you didn't but I won't stop you. Finish your assignment and I'll make us some drinks."

"No." Rachel said making sure she'd wiped away the last of the tears."

"No?"

"No, we're going upstairs and I'm going to show you how much I love you."

"Damn if I knew this would have gotten me laid I would have given it to you sooner."

"Upstairs now." Rachel got up.

"Yes ma'am."
