Chapter two:
Rachel woke with someone shouting her name, "RACHEL AREIL BERRY!", she soon realized that it was her father, Hiram.
"DAD!" Rachel jumped up from the bed, its then she realizes that Noah's still in her bed.
"WHAT ON EARTH HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU?" Hiram shouts, "YOU GOT PREGNANT SO YOUNG AND WE HELP YOU THROUGH IT AND LET YOU KEEP THE BABY AND YOU REPAY US BY BEING CARLESS AGAIN AND SO SOON AFTER! DO YOU WANT TO BE A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 AT 16?"
Rachel saw Noah stir and then sit up rubbing his eyes .
"Dad please calm down, we didn't have sex. We didn't even kiss," Rachel argued.
"Okay, I'm sorry. I do trust you Rachel, I just couldn't bare you making another mistake,"
"Gem was not a mistake, unplanned yes. But not a mistake." Rachel was getting so angry. Just then Rachel's other father Charles entered the room.
"What ever is going on in here? Oh my god, Noah!" Charles said looking from his daughter back to Noah, with an astonished look on his face.
"Hi sir," Noah said.
"We haven't seen you in a long time Noah." Charles said. Rachel took a deep breath. "Dad, daddy, Noah is Gemma's father,"
"Oh, my dear, we already knew that!" Charles said. Noah was now out of bed staring from Rachel to her fathers. "Wh- What?" Rachel asked. They knew? They fucking knew? All this time I've felt so alone! AND THEY FUCKING KNEW!
"Of course, for one she's got his eyes," Charles starts. "And two Charles reads your diary so we know you've only had sex with Noah," Hiram finishes.
"Y-you read my diary?" Rachel says trying so hard to keep her cool. Charles snickers then says, "Why do you think we got the hot tub replaced. After I read what you kids got up to in there we couldn't even look at it, let alone go in it!"
"Oh god!" Rachel blushes bright red, images of Noah making her come apart so many times in the old hot tub. She slumped back in the bed. "Yep and we're also very, very, very happy that you have your own shower." OH MY FUCKING GOD!
"Come down when you're ready for breakfast, Charles has made waffles." Hiram says putting his arm round his partner and guiding him out of the room.
Once they'd left the room Noah starts shaking with laughter, clutching his stomach.
"It's not funny!" Rachel says finding the shower page in her pink diary and showing him. Noah's face goes from turned on to fear as hear reads it.
Dear Diary,
Noah spent the night last night, we said to my dad's it was a 'sleepover' however not much actual sleeping went on. I'm so very pleased my dad's agreed to soundproof my bedroom because of my 'singing'. This morning Noah followed me into the shower. Whilst I cannot condone his behaviours (after I pacifically told him not to because my dad's were right downstairs), I have to admit it was an amazing experience. First of all he kisses me starting off soft, ending up passionately. When he got onto his knee's to kiss my most intimate place (he call's this 'easting me out') it was amazing and erotic! My legs shook so much I thought I was going to fall over. Then we made love in the shower (I'm still not sure how he fits in me, I'm petite-Noah calls me a midget but I am most certainly NOT- and he is very, VERY well endowed. Brittney says he's a lot bigger than anyone she's been with when I told her how big he was! And she's been with 5 boys now!) so when he had me against the shower wall, whispering very crude things in my ear, I had an orgasm and after about two seconds I had another one! Noah says having two in a row is called a multiple orgasm. All I can say is we are defiantly having steamy shower sex again. I think Noah liked it to because he came inside me and had to turn around and slide us down the wall to get our breathing back to normal. He stayed inside me the whole time and after a little while I started rocking against him and he instantly became hard again! So we made love again, this time with me bent over in front of him with my hands braced against the wall. Even though I knocked my head against the wall so much I still have a headache it was still amazing. But the worst thing of all was after we both came I tried to stand straight but Noah was still inside me so it felt so good my legs went to jelly and I slipped over! I now have a nasty cut on my forehead, I had to tell my dad's that I fell out of bed last night and hit it on the dresser because I doubt 'Noah was making love to me so hard I slipped over in the shower' would help very much! Noah was so worried but as soon as he knew I was fine he started laughing at me! I made a note that he won't be getting the advantages of my lack of a gag reflex for at least a week! Anyway all in all it was a very amazing day.
Rachel *
"And you're dad's read this!" Noah gulped, "Oh god, how are we going to look at them now!" I tugged on the draw string of my Pyjama pants, "Exactly, oh god why did I have to put so much detail!"
"I think I might need a very cold shower after remembering that," Noah says grinning lewdly.
"You're incorrigible!" I said throwing a pillow at him. Noah grinned at me, then pushed my hair behind my ear in order to rub his thumb along the scar on me forehead. "Was worth it though, right?" he says his eyes turning darker, which I knew to be his bedroom eyes. I smiled his smile, "Of course."
After a sigh Noah began on a more serious note, "I only acted that way because of Finn y'know."
"What?" I asked.
"When we were younger, I pushed you away because I saw you kissing him and then I was angry so I took it out on you without asking any questions. Then you broke up with me and I kinda lost it and thought getting balls deep in alcohol, fights and any girl I could get my hands on was a better option that talking about my feelings,"
"Oh…I did…Finn told me that I must be a bad kisser since I'd only ever kissed you and since I was 14 I thought I'd show him otherwise." Rachel explained.
"Sorry," they whispered him unison. Noah pulled Rachel into his arms, nuzzling his nose into the affix between her shoulder and her neck, the way he use to.
"I love you, Rachel Ariel Berry," he whispers. Rachel pulls him closer.
"I love you, Noah Eli Puckerman," She whispers in his ear, before pecking her lips to his cheek and they pull away from each other.
When the two teens make it downstairs Gemma squeals in delight when she sees her mum. Rachel rushes over to the highchair and picks up her baby. "Good morning baby girl." Rachel swings Gemma round making her giggle, "This is your daddy," she says pointing to Noah. "DADA!" Gemma squeals loudly, Noah grins so wide an takes his daughter in his arms, kissing her forehead.
"Want some waffles?" Rachel asks scurrying round the kitchen making two cups of coffee. "Yeah, thanks." "Rachel, darling! Did I mention why we had to buy a new fridge and disinfect the kitchen worktops?" Charles laughs from his spot at the kitchen table. Rachel blushed deep red, "Daddy! Its so embarrassing that you read all of that!" Rachel wined.
"Well darling maybe you two shouldn't have been so adventurous and maybe stuck to the bed.." Charles started but was interrupted by Hiram, "Or not at all, then you wouldn't be in this mess now."
"As I've said before, I wouldn't give my daughter up for the world, dad," Rachel said, kissing Gemma's cheek and then getting two plates out, "Besides its not like we planned on defiling the house hold items we just.. Got carried away."
Rachel finished fixing there food and sat a plate down in front of Noah and herself, Noah got tucked in straight away and didn't complain when Gemma (who was now perched on his knee) stole a strawberry off his plate.
"Hmm remember the time we bought two punnets of strawberries and two cans of whipped cream, then we went out for date night and when we got back none of it was left? When Hiram went to ask you where it had all gone you were asleep on your bed with whipped cream in extravagant places?" Charles asked. This made Rachel blush again, "Do you know where it all went Noah?" Charles chuckled when Noah nearly chocked on his waffles. "Come on son there's no need to be embarrassed, bit late for that now," Charles gestured towards Gemma.
"Uh.. Well … I just thought she was so darn cute when I fed her the strawberries sir," Noah said., Rachel sent him a cute smile.
"It's Charles," Charles laughed, "Remember the time you two broke the kitchen table and told us it was like that when you got home?"
"Oh my god! In our defence it looked very sturdy and is this really sensible talk around the table, let alone with Gemma here?" Rachel asked.
"I second that," Hiram grumbles looking up from his paper.
"Fine, I was only making conversation." Charles huffed, kinda like Rachel did when someone proved her wrong, "So, Noah have you told your mother about Gemma?"
"Uh… no actually I was thinking I'd tell her today, if Rach wouldn't mind coming with me?" Rachel smiled, "Of course I will. I'm glad you're taking this seriously."
"Baby, I wanna do right by her and you," Noah smiled.
"Oh gosh isn't this just like old times? Oh Hiram, did you hear him call her baby like he use to?" Charles gushed.
"We'll see," Hiram grumbled. Rachel's face fell.
"What do you mean dad?" She asked, Noah squeezed her knee under the table.
"Rachel as much as I love you, you can't honestly.." Hiram was interrupted but Charles, "Hiram!" he scolded. Hiram sighed and put his newspaper down, "Fine, all I'm going to say and I don't mean any disrespect Noah but Rachel don't get your hopes up just yet, he's bailed on you once before."
Noah saw that Rachel had stiffened in her chair and her eyes were shinny with unshed tears. "I know I have sir. And all I'm asking for is a chance to do the right thing,"
Hiram seemed reluctant but he nodded and picked his newspaper back up.
"Moma, juicey," Gemma wined in Noah's lap. Rachel brushed the lone tear that had escaped onto her cheek and got up to fix Gemma her drink.
When Rachel came back with a pink sippy cup and handed it to Gemma more questions started.
"So are you two back together?" Charles asked. Noah and Rachel looked at each other not sure what to say.
"Um… we haven't really talked about it yet," Rachel said looking down and blushing.
"Listen," Hiram said drowning the last of his coffee, "Do you think your mother will be angry when you tell her?"
"I'm not sure sir," Noah said hugging Gemma into his chest.
"Well if you think she'll shout at Rachel for not telling you then I don't want her going over there," Hiram says getting up to start clearing the table.
" Whatever she does we'll deal with it together, besides, Miriam has always loved me," Rachel says taking Gemma off Noah's lap. "Come on," she pulled him upstairs with her. Rachel laid out a white onezy, white long sleeved top, pink dress and white socks, "Dress her in these so she looks extra cute for your mother," Rachel grins leaving Noah to dress Gemma.
Rachel dresses herself in a short black skirt and a white blouse. Then she tops it off with a pink cardigan and Black pumps. She brushed through her hair and put it into soft waves and the put on a couple of coats of mascara and a coat of cherry lip gloss.
When she walks back into Gemma's room she stop abruptly when she hears Noah talking to the little girl.
"So here's the thing, I love you with all of my heart baby girl, I really do. And I know I haven't been around but that's all going to change because your mum, she was my whole life and to this day she's the only person in the world who knows the real me. And then there's you. You're amazing. I love you and your mum so much, your both so special. From now on I'm going to be here for both of you and I'm never gunna leave. And I'm in love with your mum. So listen up, if you give me the heads up weather or not your mum will take me back then maybe I'll let you date before your 25, deal?"
Rachel couldn't help but grinning, she walked all the way into the room and put her hand on Noah's shoulder, "How do I look?" Noah's eyes raked down her body, she looked so hot. He was sure he was about to have some very inappropriate thoughts if Gemma hadn't been in the room.
"You look absolutely beautiful baby," Noah said reaching for her hand. Rachel went onto her tiptoes and placed a soft kiss on his lips. When she pulled back all three of them were smiling.
"Ready?" Rachel asked him as they sat in the car outside Noah's house. Noah let out a big sigh, "Bring it!" he grinned. Rachel got Gemma out of her car seat and balanced her on her hip before taking Noah's hand as they walked into the house.
"MUM I'M HOME," he shouts and they sit down on the couch, Gemma on Rachel's lap. Rachel smoothes out Gemma's skirt nervously. Miriam entered the room and just about and an excitement heart attack. "OH GOOD LORD! RACHEL! I'm so happy to see you! How have you been? Are you and Noah back together? Would you like a drink? Its so good to see you! Oh and who's this?" Miriam said at 100 miles an hour.
"Geez Ma, look we need to talk to you and you better sit down," Noah said trying to hush the woman. Miriam plonked into the comfy chair opposite them with a shocked look on her face.
"Rachel, tell me your not pregnant," Miriam said bringing her hand to her mouth. Rachel bit her lip nervously.
"Well, not anymore," she said smoothing down Gemma's curls. Miriam's face mirrored the faces her fathers made when they had found the positive pregnancy test in her trash.
"Yo-you had a baby?" Miriam asks to conform.
"Yes, this is my daughter Gemma," Rachel smiled passing Gemma to Miriam.
Gemma cooed in Miriam's arm. Miriam smiled at the baby and tears came to her eyes.
"She's Noah's isn't she?" It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yes she is. Are you okay Miriam?" Rachel asked, glancing at Noah, who was biting his nails worriedly.
"Of course I am, I have my first grandbaby and she's beautiful and Jewish and I'm so happy that you're the mother," Miriam said hugging Gemma and kissing her cheek.
"Thank you, that means a lot to me," Rachel said, now both her and Miriam were crying. Noah tucked Rachel into his arms.
"Are you two together now?" Miriam asked taking a 2 second glance away from her granddaughter to gage their reactions.
"W-we haven't t-t-talked about I-it yet-t," Rachel said through sobs, into Noah's chest.
"We'll you two shoo upstairs so I can spoil my grandbaby," Miriam waved them upstairs.
Noah took Rachel's hand and let her walk upstairs first, very much appreciating the awesome view of that gorgeous ass of hers. When they were in his room they collapse onto his bed, Rachel still sniffling in his arms.
"Thank you for doing all the talking baby," Noah whispers in her ear. Rachel takes a deep breath to calm herself down, then another.
"I think she took that rather well," Noah laughed as he sniffed her familiar sent of a mixture of fruity perfume, strawberry crème shampoo and just Rachel.
"Better than my Dad," Rachel sniffled.
"RACHEL ARIEL BERRY, GET YOUR ASS UP HERE RIGHT NOW!" Rachel hears her father, Hiram, shout. She runs up the stairs to see what's going on. When she sees her father walking out of her bedroom with the pregnancy test she had taken the day before, she wants to bolt back down the stairs. Her face pails and she can feel the tears pouring out of her eyes, onto her cheeks. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GIRL!"
"I… I- it's…dad I'm sorry!" Rachel wails, falling to her knees.
"YOU UNGRATFULL CHILD! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE FUCK YOU'VE DONE?" Hiram scream, his face turning a deep shade of purple.
"Dad! I don't know what to say," Rachel cry's putting her head in her hands. Hiram drags her hands away and grabs her chin roughly, pulling her face up until her eyes meets his. "GOD DAMN IT LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M SPEAKING TO YOU. YOU ARE 14 YEARS OLD! AND YOU'RE FUCKING PREGNANT! HOW COULD YOU? YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU ARE FUCKING USLESS!" Hiram slapped her round the face hard. Rachel cry's out in pain clutching her hand to her face. "I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE. WHEN I GET BACK YOU BETTER HAVE GONE OR ELSE!" Hiram screamed grabbing Rachel's hair roughly and smashing her head to the wall. Rachel could do nothing but cry in pain and sorrow as she felt blood gush out of her nose and from a cut above her eye. Hiram kicked her legs until she curled them up against her chest. "YOU CAN COME BACK HOME WHEN THAT STUPID MISTAKE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF! I MEAN IT GIRL! GO TO THE FUCKING CLINIC AS SOON AS YOU GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE." With all that said Hiram spat on his daughter and chucked the positive pregnancy test at her. Then he ran down the stairs and out the front door. "I'm keeping my baby," Rachel whispered to an empty room.
It wasn't the only time he had hit her, but it was the first. Rachel felt a fresh wave of tears coming over her but held them in. She was not going to cry over that anymore. Noah stroked her hair and kissed her temple.
"Are you okay baby?"
"I love you Noah," Rachel said tilting her chin to look at him.
"I love you too Rachel," Noah said locking his gazed with hers, her lips looked so soft, as Noah leaned in he saw her eyes fluttered closed. He gently brushed his lips against her. Their lips moved in unison gently, slowly, sweetly. Noah slides his tongue against her bottom lip, Rachel immediately grants him access. She tastes just like he remembers, like candyfloss and he tastes just like she remembers, cola and mints.
"Do you want to be with me Noah?" Rachel asked pulling away. Her eyes were full of uncertainty and unshed tears. Noah pecked her lips to reassure her.
"In every way possible," he grinned, but the uncertainty didn't leave her eyes. She looked down and picked at a loose strand on the bed spread.
"But if you hadn't found out about Gem?" Rachel looked back up at him, "Would you still want to be here with me, instead of some pretty, slutty cheerleader or something?"
"Rach, you know I hate talking about my feelings and shit. But you are more beautiful than all them cheerio's put together. And yeah, I've wanted to be with you and only you since I was, like, 5 years old and you told me you would never leave me." Noah said, Rachel face softened. "I believe you," She whispered. Noah smiled.
"Will you be my girl again Rachel Berry?" He asked, tightening his arms around her.
"Yes," she grinned, Noah grinned, sweeping his head down and claiming her full lips with his.
After a good 15 minutes of making out they were interrupted by Miriam shouting upstairs for them to come down. Noah laughed when he saw Rachel's mused hair, bruised lips and lust filled eyes.
"What?" Rachel asked defensively. Noah smoothed out her hair.
"S'nothing Rach, you just look so cute," He smiled. Rachel smiled Noah's smile and sat up, pulling him with her.
"Come on, time to face the music,"
"So do you want to set a schedule of times when you can see her?" Rachel asks. All four of them are sitting around the kitchen table having tea, Gemma who is on Rachel's lap is having juice and a biscuit.
"Who looks after her when you're at school?" Miriam asks sipping her tea and smiling adoringly at Gemma.
"She goes to a teen parent day care centre, the one on Angel road," Rachel explains.
"Oh no we can't have that, she'll come here from now on, I work evenings anyway," Rachel smiles, "As long as you're sure. I can bring over her travel crib, I have a spare one in the garage."
"Wonderful. What are your plans for when you finish school?" Miriam said. For this question Rachel really had no idea whatsoever, she had thought about it a little, maybe she would get an apartment in Lima? Or maybe New York? But it was hard for her to do anything as a single mother. Now she was thinking she could count Noah into her plan she was a little more at ease. Luckily she wasn't able to answer the question because Danica Puckerman swang the door open and gasped. Danica was pucks younger sister. She was 14 years old and absolutely stunning. She had clear olive skin, piercing hazel eyes fringed with long dark lashes. A slim figure and dark hair that fell messily round her shoulders. Basically, she was a younger, female version of Puck.
"Holy shit!" Danni said gaping at Rachel.
"Danica language!" Miriam scolded her youngest child.
"Sorry Ma, it's just… I mean fuck its Rachel Berry," Danni said sitting down next to her mother and opposite Noah, just staring at Rachel.
"I swear Danni sometimes you're as bad as Noah," Miriam muttered.
"Hey, Dan. Good to see you," Rachel smiled genuinely, when her and Noah had been together before, Rachel and Danni were very close, like sisters.
"Good to see ya too Rachy," Danni said, she took a long look at Gemma then at her older brother, "Puck, you owe me 50 bucks,"
"The fuck? Why?" Noah said, frowning. Danica grinned.
"After the fifth time I walked in on your stupid ass and Rachy screwing, I bet you 50 bucks she'd have your baby before you two finished high school." Rachel's mouth fell open.
"How did you know, she could be Rachel's little sister or summit," Noah said.
"She looks like Rachel with your eyes," Danica shrugs, "What's her name anyway?"
Later that night they were back in Rachel's house, Noah and Rachel were both smiling, cuddled up on the sofa and Gemma was fast asleep upstairs.
"Noah, would you like to sleep here tonight?" Rachel asks, glancing up at him.
"Yes, I'd love to baby," He replies kissing his girl.
"I-I didn't mean that," Rachel said quickly. Noah looks into her eyes, she starts panicking, "I-I, Noah… I'm not ready and I haven't had sex since I was 14 and I don't even know if I can still do it… and my body isn't the same as it was and Noah I'm just not ready and we've only been back together for less than 24 hours and w-what if I'm not enough for you anymore and I defiantly do not look like Santana o-or Quinn and is that why you want to be here? Just to have sex with me? Oh god I really didn't mean 'would you like to sleep here tonight' as in like 'would you like to sleep here tonight and we can have sex' Noah I'm sorry, I know you have needs but I'm not ready and… why are you laughing?" Rachel babbled all in one breath. Noah was still laughing and when he calmed down he had a very amused expression on his face, "You 'bout done baby?" Rachel took a quick breath in and opened her mouth as if to speak, then decided just to shut up and nod. "Alright, listen up. I love you and I'm here because I want to be with you. Not for sex. And I'll wait for however long you need. And by the way Rach, you will always be enough for me and baby you're fucking hot and obviously better in bed than Santana and Quinn put together… trust me."
"Ugh! I don't want to know about you sleeping with cheerio's. But thank you for not pressuring me into this," Rachel pecked him on the lips.
The front door opened and Charles and Hiram bumbled through the door, both noticeably tipsy. They had gone out for dinner.
"Darling," Charles gushed as he came into the living room.
"Hello Daddy," Rachel smiled jumping up to kiss her father hello, "How was your night?"
"It was wonderful, that new French restaurant is to die for! You two should go sometime," Charles said. Hiram came into the room with 2 glass's of scotch in his hands, he handed one to Charles.
"Daddy, Noah's going to stay tonight." Rachel stated. Hiram looked as if he was about to kill his daughter.
"HE WHAT?" Hiram shouted. Rachel quickly took a couple of steps back from her fathers.
"Dad, please stop shouting! Gemma's asleep," Rachel said trying to calm her raging father down.
"GIRL ARE YOU TRYING TO GET PREGNANT AGAIN?" Hiram shouted, throwing his glass of scotch at the wall and lunging for Rachel's arm. Rachel stepped back again hearing the glass smash, her knees hit the coffee table. Charles stepped in front of Hiram before he got to Rachel, "Hiram calm down. We trust Rachel."
"NO WE USE TO TRUST HER WHEN SHE WAS 14! BEFORE SHE BECAME A SLUT!" Hiram shouted. The sound of high pitch screams came from upstairs.
"Rachel, Noah, go upstairs. He can stay it's absolutely fine," Charles said still in between Hiram and Rachel. Noah (having been in this situation on countless actions) took Rachel by the hand and let her up to Gemma's room. Rachel had silent tears running down her face as she picks the crying baby up and heads to her room. Noah follows her and sits next to her on the bed. Putting his arms round his girls he began to rock them gently.
"I didn't realize you're dad was still like that to you." Noah states once Gemma had fallen to sleep.
"Yes. B-but its harmless," Rachel sniffles.
"Rachel does your dad hit you?"
"Rachel does your dad hit you?" Noah asked. They were curled up in bed, naked. Noah was tracing patterns into her back whilst she read a book. He saw the big black bruise on her shoulder, in the middle of it was a nasty, swollen cut. Rachel tenses under his fingers. She turns her head back towards him. "W-what?" She whispers.
"Does Hiram hit you?" Noah asked again. Rachel shot up from bed and slipped on her robe, her eyes darting everywhere and settling on the floor. "Of course not! Why would you ask me that?" Rachel lies, tying her robe closed.
"Well, I know he goes, like, nuts at you sometimes and me and Charles are there to… you know, defuse the boom and shit. But… when you're alone with him, does he? I mean… shit Rach… I've seen bruise after bruise on that gorgeous body of yours, over the past couple of months. So I guess I'm asking coz I'm worried 'bout you."
"Get out," Rachel said pointing at her door. Noah started scowling.
"Oh for fuck sake, you always fuckin' do this. You say I can't talk 'bout my feelings and shit, but as soon I say anything personal 'bout you, you kick me out!" Noah said getting out of bed. Not caring he was naked, he walked over to Rachel and takes her by the shoulders. Ducking down so he was eye level, "Baby, I'm not letting you kick me out this time!" Rachel cleaned the tears off her cheeks with the back of her hand.
"Then don't ask me about stuff Noah. I've already told you its not true, just leave it alone," Rachel wept. Noah let out and exasperated sigh. He pulled on his boxers and pants. "W-where are you going? I promise I won't kick you out?" Rachel put her head in her hands.
"No because this time I'm leaving. I'm sorry Rach but I can't do this right now! Its clear you don't trust me, which makes me feel like crap." Noah pulled his shirt on, "I just need to get out of here for a bit, clear my head."
Rachel looked at his stony expression. Have I just lost what I have with Noah through protecting my fathers reputation? She thought. "Noah.." she whispered as he got to her bedroom door, he turned around, "I love you."
Noah's expression softened, he walked back up to her wrapping one hand round her waist and kissing her forehead, "I know. I love you too." Then he left.
That was their agreement. If they were fighting before one of them left they had to say I love you.
"Noah.. I-I… I should put Gem back to bed," Rachel said getting up gently and leaving the room.
"Fuck," Noah let out an exasperated curse, "I guess she's never gunna talk."
