Glancing down at her blackberry as it chimed in her hands Rachel opened up the message half listening to Mike and Puck talk as they walked in to school later that morning, finding a text from Quinn begging her to come and meet her Rachel said goodbye to her friend and boyfriend with a quick hug and kiss respectively and hurried away.

Entering the bathroom on the second floor where Quinn was sitting down on one of the seats covered in orange slushie.

"Oh Quinn" Rachel wailed hurrying to her side and hugging her tightly as the tears which had welled in Quinn's eyes fell down her cheeks.

"I really didn't need this today" Quinn sobbed.

"I know sweetie, I know" Rachel said rocking her slightly as she continued to cry "come on let's get you cleaned up" helping Quinn to her feet she manoeuvred the chair in front of the sink before helping her to wash the orange corn syrup and ice out of her delicate blonde hair before helping her dry it out in light curls under the hand dryer.

"Thankfully your clothes seem to have escaped most of the onslaught, but we can drive home to get you new clothes if you prefer"

"I can't miss any classes; I'm trying to keep my GPA up before I have to take some time off because of giving birth in a few months"

"Here take my jacket" Rachel said leading Quinn to her locker and pulling out her Cheerio jacket handing it to her.

"Oh no I can't wear this" Quinn protested

"Why not? I never wear the damn thing; I prefer to wear Mike's hoodie and you need a jacket that is not covered in corn syrup and ice"

"But I'm not a cheerleader anymore; Coach Sylvester will kill me if she sees me wearing it"

"No she won't" Rachel promised "just going to have to stick by me all day again" she smiled "I'll protect you"

"I thought we were fighting?" Quinn asked in shock "I mean I know you came and helped me but..."

"People fight Quinn, I said my part you said yours, but it doesn't mean that I suddenly hate you, Quinn your living in my house as far as I am concerned you are practically a sister to me right now, and well sisters fight"

"Really?"

"Of course, I still think that I'm right but hey that's another sister aspect of our relationship"

Quinn laughed a little and slipped her arm through Rachel's "that is sort of sister like" she agreed "I'm still annoyed at you, you made my boyfriend break up with me"

"I know, I'm annoyed at you" Rachel admitted "you tried to use my best friend as a rebound"

Laughing at the absurdity of the both of them still being annoyed with each other, but still being close.

After protecting Quinn all day from the wrath of Coach Sylvester the four met up next to Rachel's locker, Mike's arm wrapped tightly around Rachel as they walked towards the cars, Quinn driving home in her own car, Rachel, Puck and Mike planning to go to Puck's house to pick up some of his clothes and belongings.

Waiting as he sneaked into his bedroom Mike turned to Rachel with a smile "Tonight we are staying at mine" he declared.

"We are?"

"Yep, no drama at mine, seeing as both my parents are away for the night" he added inching closer and lightly biting down on the cord of muscle in her neck, making her melt against him and moan.

"Really no parents" she murmured as he continued to kiss and nip against her neck, moving up to her lips and kissing her passionately, his tongue slipping into her mouth to massage her tongue.

"No parents" he promised moving up to her ear along her jaw line, before they sprang apart quickly as Puck opened the back door lugging a big duffel bag in with him.

"Sorry my mom was in there" he grunted "saying loads of stuff about what a disappointment I am"

"Sucks man" Mike said as Rachel started the car and pulled out of Puck's drive.

"Deserve it, not that it matters anyway, my dad was passed out on the couch so she has obviously taken the dick back again"

Glancing at each other Rachel and Mike worried about how to approach that situation, Puck's father was a no go zone in his life, you didn't mention him and he didn't bring it up. Angry Puck punched his duffel bag as Rachel pulled into her driveway, not waiting for his friends he grabbed the duffel and burst into the house up to the room he had slept in the night before.

Following behind him Mike and Rachel glanced at each other as the bedroom door slammed shut and the stereo was turned up.

"Is he ok?" Quinn asked popping her head out the kitchen

"No he isn't" Rachel said "Mike could you collect me some things to sleep in tonight? And obviously some underwear for tomorrow" she added missing the grin that crossed Mike's face as he thought about going through his girlfriends underwear drawer.

Leaving her happy boyfriend Rachel went upstairs and entered Puck's room without knocking, finding him on his bed staring at the ceiling.

"How could she take him back?" he asked the room

"I don't know Noah" Rachel admitted sitting down next to him on the bed, and letting him take her hand, squeezing it tightly as he struggled to keep his anger reigned in.

"I'm going to go for a run, work off this frustration" he said getting up.

"Here" Rachel said taking out her keys and taking off her house key "me and Mike are staying at his tonight so let yourself in and feel free to order in"

"Wow" Puck said accepting the key "you really are leaving me alone with a key to your house, and Quinn" he added pulling a face.

"Just try not to kill her" Rachel laughed "it's probably best to avoid being honest, or you know you could perhaps act like an adult and address your problem with that fact that the two of you are having a baby together"

"Making a point much?" Puck growled laughingly.

"Of course, I am always making a point, even if I have to beat you around the head with it" Rachel said leaning over to give him a hug "I'll swing by and pick you up in the morning however I won't push it and require you to catch a ride with Quinn"

"Well done" he added hugging her back "I'll see you in the morning, enjoy your night without the parents" he added waggling his eyebrows suggestively, earning him a slap from his best friend.

Mike stared down at the perfectly organised underwear drawer with complete and utter glee, this was the Mecca of all things Rachel, he had found out quickly that underneath her short skirts, both Cheerio and not, as well as her sweats that she wore at home, that delectable and sexy underwear could be found.

Staring at the mounds of lace, satin, silk and cotton he was spoiled for choice between the black lace and the deep red.

"How long exactly have you been staring at my underwear?" Rachel asked leaning against the door frame.

"A while" he admitted finally picking out his favourite and placing them in the holdall that was waiting on her bed.

"It's just underwear" Rachel said coming up behind him and wrapping his arms around him, hugging him from behind.

"Yeah but you wear it, makes it ten times sexier than anything else" Mike said turning around to press a kiss to her lips.

"Let's get out of here" he said snagging the bag of her bed and taking her hand to lead her back outside to her car, popping their heads in to say goodbye to Quinn who was doing homework and Puck who was stretching before his run.

"You know it's odd" Rachel said belting herself in to the passenger seat.

"What's that gorgeous?" Mike said starting the car.

"Two months ago I would have been alone in my house, now I have a sister and my best friend living with me, and you of course" she added squeezing his thigh.

"Your dad's miss out on so much" Mike fretted.

"But I have you and Noah and Matt, and even Quinn now" Rachel said "that's all I need, plus I know my father's love me"

"You'll always have me" Mike promised lifting her hand to press a kiss to her knuckles "did you do any thinking on your glee assignment today?" he asked curiously as they pulled into his driveway.

"A little" Rachel admitted glancing out of the window as the car came to a stop.
