Hi guys! Wow, it feels like it has been ages since I wrote…actually that is because it has been ages. I am soooooooo sorry about that but there have been different things going on for me. I wish I could say that I'm going to start posing regularly again but I cannot as on Tuesday I am flying to Crete with my family and I'm so excited. However, before I go, I thought I'd write another chapter as I know it's what you all want so here is another chapter. I'm not sure how long this story is going to be but I think I'm going to try and come to an end soon so that you don't have to wait forever as when September comes, I'm going to even busier with my second year of A-Levels.

Also, I would just like to say that I was so sorry when I heard the news of Cory's passing. I cried and it put me off writing a little bit. However, I'm going to still feature Finn in my story because I like him. My thoughts go to Cory's family and Lea over this time. With this said, I'll let you get onto reading my story.

Saturday was a new experience for Rachel and Puck. Beth woke up just after seven in the morning and cried until Rachel picked her up and rocked her gently to get her to stop and when she did the little one demanded, "Food!" Puck faked sleeping meaning Rachel was the one who had to walk downstairs with the toddler and make her some breakfast. Rachel had to pause after she'd placed Beth in the high seat by the table to think what Beth would want for breakfast.

"Do you like toast?" Rachel asked and the girl nodded. "Do you like honey?" Beth nodded again and Rachel's problem was solved. She crossed over to the toaster and put in a slice of bread and got the butter and honey out of the fridge along with a bottle of milk. She poured the milk into Beth's cup and put it in front of the little girl. Beth picked up her drink immediately and drank it while Rachel finished off her toast.

When Beth was tucking into her breakfast, Rachel realised she was also in the mood for honey and toast. Honey was a touchy subject for her and for other vegans. Some don't eat it because it is made by an animal but if you think about it, the bees aren't getting hurt by making it. Rachel sighed and shrugged before standing back up and making herself a plate of honey on toast.

Once she'd finished her breakfast, Rachel turned and saw that Beth was moving her fingers to see if honey would drip off her hands and Rachel also noticed that her sister had honey all around her mouth. Quickly grabbing a cloth, Rachel wiped the sticky substance off her sister's face.

"What are we going to do with you?" Rachel asked rhetorically. Beth said nothing but only giggle and reached for her sister. Rachel picked up the toddler before turning to head into the living room only to see her daddy stood by the kitchen door. "Have you been spying on me?" Rachel asked raising her eyebrow.

"Not spying," Hiram replied quickly, "simply watching."

"There's no difference," Rachel said but she had to laugh slightly at her daddy's guilty expression.

"I heard you come downstairs and wanted to make sure everything was okay."

"Everything is fine, Daddy," Rachel promised. "I was just about to put the television on so she could watch some cartoons while I did some revision for some mock exams that are coming up."

Hiram nodded and then walked out of the room to head back upstairs. Rachel carried on walking into the living room and placed Beth down on the sofa so she could reach the TV remote to turn it on. Once Beth was settled, Rachel started her work and the morning seemed to go in a flash but she was grateful as she got so much work done and Beth was entertained by a run of Sesame Street episodes.

When Puck woke up later in the day, the three of them headed outside and went for a walk to the nearby park. Puck was pushing Beth in the stroller with one hand linked with Rachel. They'd been out for almost half an hour and decided to sit down on a bench to watch some families feed the ducks in the pond when a tall older woman walked over to them.

"She's just precious," she said smiling down at Beth. "How old is she?"

"She's almost two," Rachel replied. "She's my sister."

"It's adorable that you're looking after your sister. Are you gaining experience for when yours comes along?" She asked. Rachel was used to getting so many dirty looks from people in the street when they saw her obvious bump but this lady looked genuinely excited to talk about it.

"Yeah, they're due in May," Puck answered.

"Twins?"

"Yeah, a boy and a girl."

"That's so exciting. I had twins when I was your age, it was a nightmare at first trying to balance everything but once everything settled down it got easier. Unlike you, the father didn't stay around. I'm Iris Barnaby by the way," she said holding her hand out to shake Rachel's and then Puck's. "If you ever need to talk about how to deal feel free to contact me."

"That's so nice of you," Rachel replied.

"I got so many funny looks when it all happened to me but I'm so glad it did. I had twin girls, Ella and Phoebe. Ella is in California studying film and Phoebe is in Washington studying politics. I couldn't be prouder of them."

Beth then started to get fussy and Rachel pulled her sister out of the pram and sat her on her knee and bounced her slightly. "Shush, Beth."

"That's a beautiful name," Iris murmured. "She doesn't really look like you though, does she?"

"No," Rachel replied but smiled. "My mom adopted her when she was born." Rachel then looked down at her watch and decided it was time to get home so she couple prepare some lunch. "We'd better be getting off."

"It was lovely talking to you both…"

"I'm Rachel and this is Noah," Rachel said when Iris trailed off.

"Rachel and Noah, got it. Hopefully I'll see you around."

Rachel nodded before putting Beth back into the stroller and taking Puck's hand to walk away. Once they were a safe distance away from Iris, Puck whispered, "Well that was odd."

"She was just being friendly," Rachel said quickly, "but you're right."

oOoOo

The rest of the day went perfectly well for the two teens. They both made sandwiches for their lunch: ham for Beth, cheese for Puck and lettuce and cucumber for Rachel. Part way through the afternoon, they put Beth down for a nap, Puck was reading on Rachel's bed and Rachel was sat at her desk doing some homework.

"I'm a little annoyed that that woman was called Iris, if I'm honest," Puck sighed out of the blue.

"What do you mean?" Rachel asked turning round to face her fiancé.

"I really love that name and I wanted to name our daughter Iris but I'm just going to be reminded of that woman," Puck replied and put his book down to sit up and look at Rachel.

"We'll just have to come up with a different idea." She shrugged before returning to her work and nothing else was said on the matter.

Rachel then looked up at the memory board in front of her and saw the corner that was dedicated to her and Puck. There were many photos of them, from their first date to random pictures taken by their friends. There were also the two ultrasound pictures and the list of names that Puck wrote when he was five. The more Rachel looked at them, the more that two of the names jumped out at her: Levi and Ava.

"What about Ava for the girl instead?" Rachel asked later on.

"What about it?" Puck put his guitar down. He'd started playing absentmindedly when his book started to bore him.

"You wrote it down on this list."

Puck stood up and crossed the room to where Rachel was pointing.

"So I did," he said nodding. "I think it's a beautiful name."

"I do too. I quite like the sound of Levi Puckerman too, for our little boy."

"You know what, Rach? I could imagine our little ones being called Ava and Levi."

oOoOo

The rest of the weekend seemed to pass in a blur. Quinn and Joe came over later on Saturday afternoon. Joe and Puck talked music and the ideas that Rachel and Puck had come up with for their week of running the glee club and Rachel and Quinn were upstairs with Beth and talking about baby things.

Rachel was sat on her bed surrounded by different books and was taking turns reading for a while and asking Quinn questions for the blonde's revision. Or if Rachel was stuck, she'd ask Quinn for help. Quinn was sat on the edge of the bed with Beth sat in front of her playing with the younger girl's hair.

"Have you had any weird cravings?" Quinn asked as she brushed Beth's hair.

"No, that's the odd thing. I just eat whatever I want," Rachel replied. "Did you?"

"I had the weirdest craving," Quinn said laughing slightly as she remembered being pregnant with the little girl sat in front of her. "I wanted whipped cream with everything."

"Really?" Rachel asked. She had never seen Quinn with it, even with being in glee together.

"Yeah, but we weren't really friends then so you wouldn't have noticed," Quinn replied with a slightly guilty look echoed on her features. She regretted all the times she, Santana and on the odd occasion Brittany, had been mean to Rachel. If she'd just accepted her friendship, they would be even closer now and the whole mess with Finn wouldn't have happened. Quinn snapped out of her thoughts and carried on with what she was saying to Rachel. "Puck's mom was so frustrated when I covered everything she cooked for me in whipped cream. Edith is an amazing cook and I'd eat spaghetti with the cream and pizza with it on top. The only time I didn't eat it was with deserts. Funny isn't it?"

"That is a little odd," Rachel mused, "But it is you after all."

Quinn turned round in an instant and glared at Rachel who simply laughed and went back to her work.

"What is the reason of photosynthesis?" She asked.

Quinn stopped glaring at her best friend and answered the question before going back to Beth's hair and braiding it how the little girl had asked.

oOoOo

Sunday was a little different to Saturday as Rachel made Puck get up with Beth in the morning because she was 'simply too tired from getting up with her yesterday'. Puck grumbled but when Rachel glared at him, he jumped out of bed and took Beth downstairs.

"So what do you want kiddo?" Puck asked after he'd sat her down in her high chair.

"Food!" She replied and giggled.

"I know that, but what food?"

Beth paused to think about it before replying, "Banana!"

Puck nodded and headed over to the fruit bowl and got Beth her banana. He unpeeled it before handing it to the little girl who started eating it with a content smile on her face. Puck then got onto making his own breakfast as well as something for Rachel.

Not long into this process, Leroy headed into the kitchen.

"Morning, Noah," he greeted on his way to the kettle.

"Hello, Leroy," Puck replied, "Actually, I'm glad you're here, I want to take this," he nodded towards the plate of food in the middle of the table, "up to Rachel but couldn't leave her on her own in the kitchen…."

"I'll look after her while you take it to Rachel," Leroy promised and walked straight up to the girl and commenced playing peek-a-boo with her.

Puck smiled at his future father-in-law before heading upstairs with the tray. He left it on the table next to Rachel's bed for when she woke up before going back downstairs again to see Beth crying and Leroy looking confused and terrified.

"What happened?" Puck asked as he quickly crossed the room and picked Beth up out of Leroy's arms.

"I don't know!" Leroy replied honestly. "She just started crying when you left the room."

Puck rocked the girl in his arms and she quickly stopped crying and started at Puck.

"Noah's back!" She cried happily before looking downhearted. "You left me. Mommy and Dada left me and then you did!"

"No, sweetie, your momma and dada haven't left you!" Puck quickly said to reassure the girl. "They went on holiday but they'll be back before you know it!"

"I miss them," she said sadly and a tear slipped down her face.

"We'll call them tonight," Puck promised and held the little girl slightly tighter in his arms as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Do you want to do some colouring?"

"Yeah!" She cried and Puck then carried her into the lounge and set her down on the floor by the table and got the crayons Shelby had brought for Beth to use before finding some paper.

oOoOo

When Rachel woke up about an hour later, she saw the breakfast tray at the side of her bed and smiled brightly at Puck's idea. She knew it was him as her fathers had never done this for her but on one or two occasions, Puck had. She quickly picked her toast up, though cold, and ate it contently. She didn't mind that it was cold; she hadn't eaten warm toast for about two months. She found that she preferred it when it was cold. It must be the hormones, she mused to herself. Once her breakfast was consumed, she jumped into the shower to properly start her day.

When everything was completed for her morning ritual, she headed downstairs to see Puck and Beth sitting on the sofa with the table covered in pictures. She quietly waddle across the room and placed her hands on Puck's shoulders and he jumped at the sudden presence of someone. Beth looked up at the sudden noise and saw her sister stood there.

"RACHIE!" She yelled and reached up to be hugged. Rachel quickly picked her sister up who quickly nuzzled her head into Rachel's neck. When she pulled away she said, "Lookie, I drew pictures!"

Rachel walked around the table and looked closely at the pictures. There was some of Beth, Will and Shelby and another of Beth with Quinn, Rachel and Santana. There was also one with Beth and Brittany as they had a close bond too. Puck was frequent in the pictures too but there was one that caught her eye the most and it was obviously not drawn by Beth as the lines were too perfect. It had a fair few faces on too. There was the entire Glee club with Will and Shelby, who had Beth in her arms, stood in front of them and to the side there were Leroy, Hiram, Carly, Edith and Sarah. Then in the centre of the picture there was Rachel and Puck but Rachel wasn't pregnant. In Puck's arms there was a little girl and in Rachel's, there was a little boy.

Puck had noticed which picture Rachel was looking at and picked it up. "It's our family," he murmured.

Rachel looked up at Puck and kissed him, "It's perfect," she whispered against his lips. "Just like you."

oOoOo

During the afternoon, Finn came over and he, Rachel, Puck and Carly all sat on the sofa watching films. Beth was also sat with them on Rachel's knee so they had to make sure that the films were age appropriate, which they weren't but Beth wasn't old enough to know that but she spent most of the films asleep instead of watching.

In between films, when Puck was changing the disk, Finn looked over to Rachel and asked, "What's the theme for glee club this week then?"

Instead of replying, she asked something else instead, "When do you usually find out what the theme is?"

"On Monday afternoon?" Finn said with a knowing smiling as to what Rachel was going to say.

"Then that's when you'll find out this week's," She replied smiling at her friend.

"However, she's told me already," Carly said.

"What is it then?" Finn asked his girlfriend.

Carly shared a smile with Rachel before turning to look at her boyfriend. "You'll find out tomorrow," she replied and smiled at his pout. Instead of telling him, like she would have usually, she just laughed and kissed the pout off his lips.

"Guys, do you want me to press play or do you want to talk?" Puck asked. The other three hadn't noticed that the new film had already been set up and Puck was back on the sofa next to Rachel.

"Play it!" Beth cried as she recognised the screen for the Lion King.

"You heard the princess," Rachel said smiling, "play the film!"

I just thought I'd add another message at the bottom too, aren't you guys lucky? I just want to quickly say thanks for the follows, favourites and reviews that I've been getting despite not posting. Thank you to everyone; it really does mean a lot!
