5 years is a long time.
The first year he looked for them every day. Tried to find her. Went to her fathers' house everyday but she was never there, they never knew where she was. But still everyday he tried to find them both. He never did.
# FLASHBACK #
It had been 142 days. Not one word from either of them.
He shuffled to the Berry's front door and knocked.
"Hello Noah," Mr Berry sighed as he answered the door. He looked tired and older. Grey.
"Good evening Sir. Is Rachel home?"
"Noah, we do this every day. You know no one knows where she is,"
"Sorry Sir, I just...I miss her y'know? All this time it looked like she needed me but truth is...I need her just as much," Puck looked down at the ground.
Mr Berry groaned and rubbed his hand over his face. "We're watching the game, care to join?"
"Thank you Sir but do you think I could sit in her room for a little while?"
"Of course."
Puck lay on her bed and sobbed. Clutching the pillow that hardly smelt like her anymore and listening to the same song she had paused from that night. 'Don't Stop Believing'. He thought it was ironic. He stayed that way until his mother came to fetch him. Like she did every night.
# END FLASH BACK #
The second year he stopped thinking about them every day. He was 20 years old and got a degree in mechanics. He'd just started helping out at Burt Hummels garage. And he met Isabella, she was a tall gorgeous blond. Who was a water-sport instructor.
By the third year he hardly thought about them at all. He'd moved into a little apartment in Lima with Isabella and they were getting on really well Isabella bought him a dog for his 21 birthday. A yellow Labrador he named Juliet because he remembered talking about it once with a certain brunette. 3 months later Isabella cheated on him and left him and Jules behind.
Noah Puckerman moved to New York when he was 23 and opened a garage 10 minutes away from his new apartment near central park. He made some great friends including a couple of guys he hired to work for him and Juliet was at his side all the time.
It was a slow Friday evening and Puck was doing paper work when an SUV rolled into the garage.
"Trent! Customer!" Puck yelled as Jules rushed out barking.
"Okay boss," Trent mocked, coming in from the back to go and talk to the owner of the SUV.
"Shut up Douche," Puck grinned going back to his paper work.
20 minutes later Trent came back in with a missive grin on his face.
"What's the damage?" Puck looked up, "Where's Jules?"
"With the customers. And fuck man," Trent let out a low whistle, "Absolutely smokin' there's two of 'em."
"C'mon dude, don't shit me, I haven't got any decent pussy in months!" Puck said shooting his friend a glare.
"Well these two are worth it, ones a mom but it sorta makes her hotter and the other ones a fuckable little piece," Trent sighed, "Anyway they wanna talk to you, their cars fan belt is gone but they don't have a lot of cash on them."
"Alright, I'll go take a look at it." Puck sighed standing up and running his hand over his buzz cut hair.
When he walked outside he saw three girls standing with their backs to him. One short brunette with a baby in a pink dress balanced on her hip, he could swear he knew that ass. A taller girl with light brown hair and a child standing between the two with hair the same colour as the shorter brunettes. Jules was standing by the child.
"Ladies," Puck said to alert them to his presents. When all three girls turned round he couldn't believe his eyes. There was Beth and Rachel. Who faces of pure shock mirrored his own. The child standing between Beth and Rachel looked just like Rachel did when she was a little girl.
Rachel-forever being an amazing actress- quickly checked herself into a neutral expression.
Rachel looked away as she began to jiggle the baby on her hip.
"Rach," Puck whispered scanning her down cast eyes then turning to his sister. Beth had tears in her eyes and she folded herself into her brothers waiting arms.
"Mummy, who's he?" The little girl asked, looping her arm around her mother's thigh.
Pucks eyes snapped to Rachel.
"That's Noah, Auntie Beth's brother." Rachel said quietly.
"Hello, I'm Adah." She smiled at Puck.
"Nice to meet you Princess," Puck smirked looking into a pair of eyes identical to Rachel's, "And how old are you?"
"Fouw," Adah beamed. Pucks eyes snapped to Rachel, who looked away quickly.
"Puck can I talk to you for a minute please?" Beth asked pulling at his arm. He let himself be pulled back into his office where Trent was making coffees.
"I've missed you," Beth said.
"I missed you too Squirt but you got a shit load of explaining to do!" Puck said.
"Wait you know her?" Trent asked from the other side of the room.
"Dude, this 'fuckable little piece' is my sister!" Puck growled.
"Can it Puck, I'm 18 now and he's cute," She shot a sexy smile at Trent.
"Whatever," Puck huffed, peering back out the door to see Rachel laughing about something with Adah.
"Puck listen to me. I'll babysit and you and Rach can go out to dinner and talk okay?" Beth said.
"She's got two fucking kids! Has Wifey got a guy?" he let the term of endearment slip before he realized himself.
"No she isn't dating, she isn't married, she only has one night stands since Eliza was born and her dad left although Eliza's dad is not worth the air he breathes." Beth said.
"So she's single, got two kids and she hates me? Great!" Puck through his arms in the air and turned around to see Rachel standing in the door way with Eliza on one hip and holding Adah's hand on her other side, Puck looked her over and couldn't help thinking that she looked amazing.
"Can you fix my car or not?" Rachel asked him coldly.
"Another sister?" Trent asked.
"No, my Wifey," Puck said without thinking.
"Don't Puck! I am not your Wifey anymore! Can you fix the damn car or not?" Rachel yelled.
"Don't fucking shout at me! Not my fault you're so tightly fucking wound!" Puck yelled back, "Trent go fix her fucking car." Earning a glare from Rachel.
"Dude calm down! I'll go fix it," Trent said pulling up his overalls.
"Mommy doesn't like that language!" Adah huffed, "An Liza might stawt talking soon!"
"I'll uh..give you two some privacy," Beth said taking Eliza who instantly made a grab for Beth's hair and walking outside.
Puck sighed and slumped down in a chair. Scrubbing his hand down his face.
"Sowwy I shouted but Mommy doesn't like it and youw old so you should know bettew," Adah said standing next to him. Puck smiled at her and looked deep into her chocolate eyes.
"S'okay Princess, I'm sorry I shoulda known better," Puck apologized.
Adah beamed at him.
"Definitely your kid Berry," Puck braved a glance at her. Rachel was staring at Adah and him with an amused look.
"Ade, Baby, can you go make sure Auntie Beth isn't teaching Eliza bad habits please?" Rachel asked.
"Yep," Adah smiled, "But if she is she has to sit on the chaiw like I do when I'm a bad giwl."
Rachel giggled as Adah skipped out of the room.
"She sure is something Rach," Puck grinned.
"That she is." Rachel smiled fondly.
"You never came back to me." Puck said quietly.
"What did you expect?" Rachel said harshly.
"Truthfully? For you to walk through that door and give me a second chance. And I woulda never let you go again," Puck sighed. Juliet chose that moment to bound in and start licking Rachel's hand, causing her to giggle.
"You're such a nice dog," She smiled, "What's her name?"
"Ju-Juliet." Puck said, meeting Rachel's gaze.
# FLASH BACK #
"I've been thinking," Rachel said coming out of the bathroom and settling on the bed next to Puck.
"Mm," Puck encouraged her to continue while rubbing his hand up her side.
"When we get married and have kids we should get a dog," Rachel stated matter of factly.
"Okay," Puck smiled, "But it's gotta be a cool one that likes kids."
"Oh my god! Let's call her Juliet!"
"No way Wifey! That's a pussy name for a dog!"
"Please?" She turned to him a pouted.
"Fine," He grinned against her lips, "Juliet it is."
# END FLASH BACK #
"Y-you named your dog Juliet?" Rachel asked with wide eyes. Jules started barking.
"Jules, bed!" Puck said. Jules rushed off to the rug in the corner and lay down, "Beth said she'd watch your kids so we could have a catch up some time do you think we could?" He asked, running his hand over the back of his neck.
Rachel bit her lip and put her hands on her hips, "I'll think about it."
"Rachel just come here," Puck pleaded, opening his arms. Rachel hesitated for about half a second before folding herself into his arms and hugging him tightly. Taking in his sent and pleading with herself not to cry. "Cuddle!" They heard shrieked from the door way before Adah launched herself into her mother's lap. Puck and Rachel both laughed.
"Wow, two pretty lady's sitting on my lap, I am lucky!" Puck grinned.
Rachel and Adah both giggled and slapped his arm at the same time.
Later that night.
Rachel and Beth were sitting on Rachel's bed doing their nails.
"So Puck's here," Beth stated casually.
"I missed him so much Beth," Rachel confessed.
"Me too and Adah seemed to really like him," Beth said.
"She would," Rachel rolled her eyes, "She is a Puckerman after all."
"You gunna tell him?" Beth asked.
"I don't know." Rachel said truthfully.
"Mommy." Adah said from the doorway, rubbing sleep out of her eyes.
"What are you doing awake?" Rachel asked, opening her arms for her daughter to enter. Adah sat in her Moms lap and gave her a sloppy kiss on the cheek.
"Noah's my Daddy isn't he?" Adah asked.
"What?" Rachel asked startled that her four year old daughter had worked that out after only meeting Noah once.
"Well when we wewe sitting on his lap it felt like we wewe a family and he looks at you with that look," Adah said looking up at her mother expectantly.
"Yes he is your Dad," Rachel said. Adah frowned for a minute.
"But he doesn't know I'm his daughtew?" Rachel shook her head no. Adah nodded slowly.
"So what do you think about it?" Beth asked.
"He's nice and calls me Pwincess. But I want him to be Liza's Daddy too," Adah smiled up at Beth.
"Go back to bed sweetie," Rachel said.
"Kay but I'm gunna go say night to Liza first," She gave Rachel and Beth a sloppy kiss each and skipped out of the room.
"Oh my God!" Beth laughed.
"It's not funny! My kids too smart for her own good!" Rachel hit Beth with a pillow.
They heard a loud scream come from the nursery followed by a loud thump. Rachel jumped up and sprinted into the nursery to find her four year old crying hysterically on the floor with blood seeping from her forehead.
She picked her up quickly, tucking her into the oversize old Mickenly hoodie she was wearing. She got her phone out her pocket and dialled the only person's number she knew had a car at this moment in time.
"Lo?"
"Puck! Wake the fuck up. I need you to drive me to the hospital NOW!" She screamed.
"The fuck?" It was evident that he was asleep.
"There's no time Ade's really hurt Puck! Get your ass over her now! For fuck sake!" Rachel shouted.
"M'on my way." He hung up.
"What happened?" Beth asked, coming into the room and picking up Eliza who was crying in her crib.
"She must have hit her head," Rachel said going down stairs and slipping on her shoes, "Puck's coming to take us to the hospital, can you watch Liza?"
"Mommy," Adah said softly as her little face went into a peaceful sleep.
Rachel saw Puck's car pull up and kissed Adah's cheek.
She hopped into Puck's car and he started speeding towards the hospital. They didn't say one word the whole way.
The doctor saw them straight away.
"How old is she?"
"Four."
"Allergy's?"
"None."
"Recent illnesses?"
"Just a cold."
"If you could go and fill out the forms and wait in the waiting room and we'll see what we can do," The doctor said.
"Thank you," Puck said steering Rachel away.
Puck collected the form from the reception desk and sat Rachel in the waiting room. He watched as Rachel filled the form in.
Name: Adah Puckerman
Father's name: Noah Puckerman
Mother's name: Rachel Puckerman
"The fuck?" Puck turned to her.
"Do we really need to have this conversation right now when our daughters head is split open and she's unconscious?" Rachel snapped, "Just take the damn form." Puck returned it to the front desk. When he returned Rachel was crying hysterically so he pulled her into his lap and hugged her tightly.
"She's gunna be fine Rachel." He whispered.
2 hours later the doctor came out and called Rachel's name.
"Is she okay?" Rachel asked rushing up with Puck hot on her heals.
"She's fine, in room 208. But she's still drowsy and it will leave a scar on her forehead."
They rushed into the room where Adah was asleep in the bed. Her brunette locks tousled over the pillow. Rachel let silent tears stream down her face and snuggled close to her daughter on the bed.
"Mommy," Adah cried out.
"I'm here baby," Rachel whispered. Adah wrapped her arms around her mother's neck, climbing into her lap, crying as well.
"My head huwts and you wewn't thewe and the doctow said you wewn't allowed in yet," She cried laying kisses all over Rachel's face.
"I'm so sorry baby, I wasn't allowed in. But I'm here now." Rachel whispered into her hair.
After a little while they stopped crying and Adah turned her head and noticed Puck staring at her.
"Come on, you can come on the othew side, I know you like cuddling too," Adah smiled, patting the bed on the other side. Puck smiled and climbed in next to her.
"I'm glad you're okay Princess," He whispered.
Rachel laid her head on the pillow and looking over her daughters head to Puck. Adah looked up at her Mom and then her Dad with a huge smile.
Adah was released from the hospital and hour later and Puck helped carry her in and tuck her into her bed. Beth was asleep in Rachel's room with Eliza in her arms so Rachel gently took Eliza and walked into the nursery with Puck following.
"She's beautiful Rach," Puck cooed at the sleeping baby as Rachel put her in her crib.
"Yeah well she looks like her father," Rachel mumbled, pressing a kiss to Eliza's forehead.
"Do you make it a habit? Getting pregnant then fucking off before the father finds out or does hers know about her?" Puck asked bitterly.
"I think you should go," Rachel said in a small voice.
"I didn't mean it, look I'm sorry...I just need answers," Puck said. Rachel nodded her head and they made their way down stairs.
"So what do you need to know?" Rachel asked flipping the kettle on and getting two mugs out.
"Well to start with where did you go?"
"Well, originally we were going to come back. But Pete-he's not a good guy, Y'know?" Rachel said.
# FLASH BACK 1 month after leaving #
Rachel was dry heaving into the toilet after 30 minutes of puking when Pete pushed the door open.
"Fuck sake Rachel, come the fuck on, we need to get moving!" He shouted, dragging her up by the arm.
"Get off me," She struggled to get out of his grip, "Me and Beth need to go home."
"No, we're going to Vegas," Pete snarled.
"We can't!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah you can and you fucking will," He began pulling her out the door.
"At least let me have my cell phone so I can call my Dad."
"So you can tell your Dad what? That you're pregnant?" Pete asked. It hit her like a ton of bricks. The mood swings, the sickness, the missed period. It had never occurred to her. But all the evidence was pointing to it. He didn't wait for a reply and dragged her out of the hotel room and into his car-smacking her ass as he pushed her in.
# Flashback ends #
"How did you end up in New York?"
"In Vegas when I was 7 months pregnant Pete tried to rape me and this guy-Ben-heard me screaming. He worked at the hotel and beat Pete up. Although he was 24 and I was 16 I fell for him instantly. When me and Beth explained our situation he offered to take us back to Lima-"
"But you didn't come!" Puck interrupted her.
"-or for us to come with him to California. Me and Beth talked about it and decided to see if we liked it out there." She handed Puck his coffee and sipped her tea, "We lived by the beach, Beth started working at his Surf shop and I gave birth to Adah Bethany Puckerman. Me and Ben started dating very quickly. By the time Adah turned two I had started getting letters. Saying you're mine and one day I had walked to get Beth from the beach and Pete was there. Ben said Pete had explained that I was his girl friend and was mentally ill. That we were going to get married when I found out I was pregnant and that I needed to come with him. He claimed that Adah was his daughter. Before Pete made us leave Ben apologized to Beth, saying that he never meant to hurt my family and he never would have told me he loved me if he had known. I don't think he ever truly cared for me or Adah-she called him Dada and we were together for 2 years-you don't just throw that away!" She started sniffling.
Puck led her to the couch and sat her down.
"Anyway...At the first motel stop me and Beth took his car and drove as far as we could before we ended up breaking the car. We hitch hiked and a guy picked us up and took us to New York. He ended up being my best friend until he got me pregnant."
"What are you doing now? Job wise?" Puck asked, noticing she didn't want to go into the thing with Eliza's Dad anymore.
"I'm playing 'Fanny Brice' in an off off Broadway production of 'Fame' and teaching Ballet at Brittney Peirce's dance studio part time and Beth's at college part time doing a beauty course and working part time in a clothes store," Rachel explained.
"So Brittney knew where you were?" She nodded, "I saw her last month! She never said anything!"
"She wouldn't, I told her not to mention me to anyone," Rachel confessed.
"Okay and whys your name Puckerman?"
"When we moved here I figured I'd change my name so Pete wouldn't find us and Adah was already Adah Puckerman," Rachel blushed looking at the floor.
"What was Adah's first word?"
"Mama,"
"Second?"
"No." Rachel laughed.
"Does she know I'm her Dad?" Rachel nodded, "Are you gunna let me be her Dad?"
"Depends how serious you are about this...I can't let you in her life if-if you're just gunna leave," Rachel said seriously.
"Rachel! I wanna know her, like everything about her. And I don't care what I have to do I just want her...and you in my life," Puck pleaded, taking her hands in his. Rachel smiled shyly.
"She's me, with your attitude," Rachel said, "Both of our stubbornness. She's got a birthmark on her bum-"
"Like you," He grinned cheekily, thinking of all the times he's kissed and even bitten it.
"Yes," She smiled, "She's way too smart for her own good. She remembers absolutely anything. She's got my pout and puppy eyes-by the way now I know why you always gave in. She's got your love of trouble. She reminds me of you every day."
"C'mere," Puck pulled her into his arms.
"Am I gunna get another chance with you?" He whispered into his hair.
"We'll have to see," Rachel said letting a little smile grace her face. They heard scampering footsteps on the stairs and quickly separated before Adah entered the room and plonked herself between her parents.
"'Mowning." she said sleepily then looked up at Puck.
"Adah, this is your Dad. Noah, this is your daughter," Rachel said getting up to fix her daughter some warm milk. When she stepped back into the room Adah was sitting in his lap talking animatedly about how she liked Jerry better than Tom and pointing at the TV that was now switched on to cartoons.
"Mommy! Daddy likes Tom bestest! Adah" exclaimed. Rachel didn't miss the proud smile from Noah when Adah referred to him as Daddy.
"Does he?" Rachel tutted with a smiled on her face. Beth came downstairs with Eliza on her hip, handing her to Rachel when Eliza squealed.
"Puck," Beth smiled. He nodded back with a grin, "So Rach, I need to get going I won't be back until late because I'm going out with Naomi." Beth said grabbing her bag. Rachel nodded kissing Beth on the cheek and sitting back on the couch. "Puck, it's good to have you back."
"You too," Puck grinned at his sister.
They stayed that way for another half an hour as they ate a breakfast Rachel made and watched cartoons.
"I need to get ready, I've got to be at work in an hour and I still need to drop Eliza off at day-care," Rachel informed Puck.
"I-I can take care of her," Puck offered.
"Daddy can come with us Mommy! And see my dance! Please?" Adah asked excitedly.
Rachel looked over to Noah.
"You're welcome to join us if you want," Rachel told him. Puck smiled and it was agreed that he would come and take care of Eliza while watching.
Rachel left Eliza with Puck as she and Adah rushed upstairs and got ready. When they returned Puck's jaw nearly dropped, Rachel was in white tights and a tight black leotard thing with a pink wrap-y skirt thing, her hair up in a bun and black flats on, she was holding her purse and her phone. Adah was dressed the same but a white leotard instead of black.
He couldn't take his eyes away from Rachel, the years had been good to her and she'd filled out a little, her curves were phenomenal and her breasts had defiantly got a little bigger. When his eyes raked up to her face and she was staring back with one eyebrow kinked up.
1 month later Puck and Juliet were practically living in their spare bedroom. Him and Rachel were friends. Not really anything more except maybe a few stolen touches or kisses here and there. Him and Beth had a few fights and a few heart to hearts but were on the right track. And he was getting to know Adah well and spent a lot of time with her. Also Eliza was starting to think about Puck as her father. She squealed when he picked her up, giggled whenever she saw him and when she was crying she'd started holding her arms out to him rather than Rachel. Puck could tell Rachel was a little upset about this but she'd brushed it off.
He woke up to loud banging. Sitting up in bed he rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch. 11am. The banging started up again along with a loud scream. Puck got up and followed the noise to Rachel's open bedroom door. There she was. The mother of his child. The love of his life. Laying on her back naked with her knees up to her ears, moaning loudly as a blond, tanned guy pounded into her with his head nestled into her neck.
"Harder!" She almost growled.
"Stop trying to take charge!" The un-named guy pinched Rachel's ass, making her squeal, "You get pissy if I let you be in charge." He let her legs rest back around his hips and sat back on his heels. Pulling Rachel with him so she was on-top.
"MMMM MAXI!" She screamed grinding her hips at a furious pace. She pushed her fingers into his hair and pulled him into a passion filled kiss. His arms wrapped around her so their chests were pressed together tightly. He kissed onto her neck and she threw her head back pulling his face closer to her neck while his fingers gripped at her hips, leaving bruises.
Juliet ran into the room whining at Rachel.
"Not now Jules!" Rachel snapped.
"You got a dog Babe?" The guy asked laughing into her breasts.
"N-no, she's-Juliet out!" Rachel said watching as the dog scampered to Puck. Rachel's face went blank and her lips formed a little O when she locked eyes with him.
"Forget the dog, Rach." The guy smacked her ass and squeezed it with both hands, "I'll fuck your ass again if you want?"
"Maxi, this is Noah. Noah this is Maxi," Rachel gestured to Noah. Maxi turned his head slowly, his cheek still resting against her boobs.
"Is this your boyfriend?" Puck growled.
"Um...he's gay," Rachel said. Puck's eyes glanced back to their joined bodies with a raised eyebrow.
"Look we'll explain but...co-could you give us a minute?" Rachel asked. Puck nodded and left the room, shutting the door behind him. He heard giggling as he made his way down stairs.
10 minutes later he was sitting across the table from them scowling at the hand Maxi had on Rachel's bare thigh.
"So basically he's gay, we're just friends, we met at Brittney's dance studio where we both teach. But we...we.."
"Fuck?" Puck cut her off, "When the kids aren't here you bring him back and just fuck?"
"He...he takes care of my needs," Rachel said.
"Bu-but you're gay?" He turned to Maxi.
"Yeah, 100% poof, love the cock me," Maxi smiled all the while inching his hand up higher on Rachel's thigh, so his fingers were dipped under the leg of her shorts.
"Then how does...that," He gestured between them, "Work?"
"Well, I dunno. She's the only girl I've ever-you know." he smiled, "She's just...fuck," Maxi looked at her chest, "Just can't resist." He pecked her lips as she giggled.
"So you're gay but your fuckbuddie is a girl?" Puck asked.
"Yes." Maxi laughed. Puck glanced down at the hand that was clearly rubbing Rachel through her panties-if she had any on. Rachel bit her lip and glanced at Maxi, "I'm her dildo."
"It's great because I use him and I never have to be embarrassed because he'd rather I have a dick anyway," Rachel giggled.
"Could you..you know stop doing that?" Puck gestured to Maxi's hand, "The girls eat at this table."
"RACHEL WE'RE BACK! YOU BETTER BE DECENT!" they heard Beth shout through the door. Rachel quickly pushed Maxi's hand away and ran her hands through her hair just in time for Adah to launch herself into Rachel's lap. She curled her short arms round Rachel's neck and buried her face into her neck.
"Mommy," She smiled then looked up to see maxi, "MAXI!" She jumped into his waiting arms, "Maxi Auntie Beth took us to the pawk and I went on the swings and-oh! Have you met my Daddy?"
"Yes I did Squirt," Maxi smiled, guessing Puck was Adah's father.
"DADA!" A loud squeal interrupted. They all looked up to see a stunned looking Beth with a wriggling Eliza in her arms, who was reaching for Puck.
Rachel's eyes were wide as Puck chuckled and took Eliza, kissing her face and tickling her belly.
"Um, excuse me," Rachel said getting up, "See you tomorrow Maxi," She kissed his cheek and waited until she was in her room to let the tears fall.
"Is she okay?" Maxi asked.
"Eliza's first word, I guess she wanted it to be Mommy," Beth said sitting down in Rachel's vacated chair.
"Sh-Sugar," Puck corrected himself.
"Is Mommy sad?" Adah asked with teary eyes.
"She's fine Baby Girl," Beth said kissing her cheek.
"I'll go talk to her," Puck said handing Eliza back to Beth and making his way upstairs.
Rachel was sitting on her bad with her head in her hands. Puck sat down behind her and wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on her shoulder.
"What do you want Noah?" She asked in a quiet voice.
"I'm sorry Baby. If you want me to take a step back then I will. But I love that little girl the same as I love Adah," Puck said pressing his lips to her neck. Rachel reached her hand up to scratch her nails over the back of his neck. He let out a low growl.
"I know." She whispered, leaning his head to the side to give him more access to her neck, "I want her to have a father Noah. But it just hurts a little, that she likes you better when I've raised her this far."
"She doesn't like me better than you," He nipped at her shoulder, making her gasp, "Baby, she's just happy with me coz I never tell her off. With a Mom as amazing as you who else would be the favourite?"
Rachel turned around in his arms and claimed his lips with hers. She kissed him harder and pushed him down on the bed so she was straddling him.
"Fuck," He groaned running his hands over her ass and squeezing gently.
"Noah," She moaned biting her lip, "You don't have to be gentle with me anymore."
He growled and rolled them over so he could be in control. He sucked her tongue into his mouth before moving his lips across her cheek and down her throat. Nudging the strap of her tank top down with his nose he stopped in his tracks. Rachel moaned and bucked her hips up.
"Noah!" She whined, "Why'd you stop?"
"Fuck," He sounded annoyed at himself, "I can't do this! H-he's..." He sighed, "Maxi's marked you...all over." He stared at the trail of love bites from her collar bone down to her cleavage.
"But-but. Noah I love you," She whispered.
"Fuck," He whispered again, resting his forehead against hers.
"Well, that was the idea," She whispered.
"I-I can't do this with his marks on you Rachel, I'm sorry," he got up and went downstairs.
Rachel took a long, hot shower and washed her day away, scrubbing at herself and letting her tears mix with the water. When she emerged from the shower and went downstairs in her towel to get a glass of water she found Puck, Adah and Eliza on the couch asleep and a note from Beth on the kitchen counter saying she had gone out. As she was fixing her drink Adah came into the room rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"You alright sweetie?" She asked picking her daughter up and popping her on the counter top.
"I heawd Daddy tell Auntie Beth that you'we mad at him," She said playing with the hem of Rachel towel.
"No Baby I'm not mad," She ran her fingers through her daughters wavy hair.
Adah's face lit up, "And I was upset about my scaw," Adah touched the scar on her forehead, "And he says you've got the same and it means wewe special." Adah ran her little fingers down the scar on Rachel's forehead.
"It's true Baby, we're very alike," Rachel smiled, "Even scars." She kissed her daughters forehead.
"But I've got Daddy's badassness," The little girl grinned. Rachel nodded, smiling with her. Adah was just so tiny! Rachel knew she was small for her age and she assumed she'd stay that way since she herself had.
"Yeah and your Mama's everything else," Puck grinned coming into the room and kissing Adah's temple.
"Mommy wants a kiss too!" She squealed.
Puck grinned and lent over, placing a soft kiss on the corner of Rachel's mouth.
"There you go, two kisses for two beautiful ladies," Puck grinned wrapping one arm around Rachel and the other around Adah. Adah gave a million watt smile that lighted up the room like one he was use to seeing on Rachel. And Rachel just smiled sourly.
"Mommy you awe mad coz youw doing the thing with youw eyebwows," Adah pointed out while looking up at her mother.
"What thing with my eyebrows?" Rachel asked, making her eyebrows pinch further.
"It's true, you get this little crease between your eyebrows when your mad," Puck said smoothing said crease out with his thumb.
Rachel sighed and rested her head in her daughters lap. Adah pushed Rachel's hair away from the back of her neck and started fiddling with the hair at the back of her mothers neck.
"I think you should get mawwied," Adah says.
"Hmm?" Rachel asked.
"You and Daddy. If you got mawwied then we'd be a weal family and me and Liza could have a baby bwother ow sistew," Adah explained. Puck placed his hand on the small of Rachel's back and let out a nervous chuckle.
"Baby, we can't get married, Daddy doesn't love me like that," Rachel said standing straight again and placing a sloppy kiss on Adah's cheek. Making her giggle but she frowned quickly after.
Puck scowled at Rachel, not believing she'd just said that.
"The fuck?" Puck growled angrily.
"Daddy, no sweawing!" Adah pouted.
"Sorry Princess," Puck kissed her cheek quickly before turning his gaze back to Rachel.
"Why are you so angry? You don't love me Noah," Rachel said sourly.
"You...You think I?...FUCK...RACHEL!" He started to clench his jaw and fists, a sign Rachel knew that he was going to lose it.
"Baby, go check on your sister please?" Rachel said helping Adah down from the counter and watching her scamper out of the room. Then she turned to Puck.
"You selfish little bitch! You really think I don't fucking love you? The fuck you on?" Puck shouted.
"Well you turned me down Noah. And I told you I loved you but you didn't say it back," Rachel said. Puck noticed the sharpness in her tone and eyes. Along with the tears threatening to spill. He stared at her for a minute in complete silence before storming out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
