Chapter four.
Puck swung the door open on the first knock. He could tell Rachel had been crying-and tried to cover it up with make-up.
"C'min," Puck said leaving the door open and making his way back to the kitchen.
Rachel followed with Gemma in her arms.
"Sh-she's changed and fed, she will need a nap soon," Rachel said quietly, not meeting his eye.
"MA," Puck shouted. Miriam made her way into the kitchen, her face lit up when she saw Rachel and her granddaughter.
"Could you take Gemma for a little while? I gotta talk to Rach." Miriam nodded, taking Gemma and squeezing Rachel's arm before exiting the room. Puck watched Rachel for a minute. She fidgeted under his gaze, crossing and uncrossing her arms self-consciously.
"Baby?" Puck said softly, "S'matter?" Rachel took her quivering bottom lip into her mouth and squeezed her eyes shut in an effort to not cry. Puck scooped her into his arms, laying his head on top of hers and rubbing slow circles into her love handle.
"Rachel, what's the matter?" He asks again.
"N-nothing," Rachel stuttered out. Puck runs his hand up and down her sides, brushing one thumb onto her ribs, she winces. He does this again and she winces harder. Puck pulls back and looked at her pained face. He pulls her white cotton top out of her skirt and up over her ribs.
"Oh my god," He whispers. She had a huge bruise over her ribs-a bad one, deep purple and red around one edge- and 3 bruises that look like fists on her stomach. Without saying a word Noah-not Puck-placed her top back in its right full position and grabbed his keys. When he stormed towards the door Rachel followed him quickly, "Noah, where are you going," nothing, "NOAH!" still nothing. She jumped into the passenger side of his truck and held onto her seat as Noah sped towards her house.
The whole ride his face was stony. When he slammed his truck in park in front of her house and jumped out Rachel was quick to follow.
"HIRAM!" Noah shouted banging on the door. After three attempts and Rachel failing on her try to pull him back to his truck the door opened, Charles stood there, looking very sad and worried.
"Rachel!" he hissed, "You shouldn't be here right now, he's in a state."
Rachel fell into her fathers arms. While Noah pushed past the two to get to Hiram.
"Daddy, Noah's so mad! What if he does something stupid?" Rachel wept. They followed the sounds of load shouting in to the living room.
"YOU'RE A FUCKING PRICK HIRAM! THAT IS YOUR DAUGHTER, YOUR FUCKING DAUGHTER AND YOU HURT HER? HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT? SHE'S DONE NOTHING WORNG."
"DON'T YOU DARE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES SHE CRYED HERSELF TO SLEEP BECAUSE YOU KNOCKED HER UP THEN LEFT HER TO IT, NOT TO MENSHION THE SLUSHIES OR THE NAME CALLING. YOU'VE HURT HER MORE THAN ME. AND SHE IS NOT MY DAUGHTER."
"NOT YOUR DAUGHT? WHAT THE FUCK EVER! YOU HAVE PUT BRUISES AND SCARS ON MY PERFECT GIRLS SKIN. I'LL TELL YOU THIS RIGHT NOW AND NEVER AGAIN. YOU. WILL. NEVER. LAY. A. FINGER. ON. HER. AGAIN."
Hiram glared at Noah and raised himself from the sofa.
"If you want that useless little cunt then you can have her. She's worthless and she knows it. Perfect? Who are you trying to kid? She's a big nosed, ugly, fat, slutty, know it all, freak. She is nothing." Noah couldn't hold back any longer. He punched Hiram square in the nose, knocking him to the floor and punching him three more times to be sure he got the message. "You're wrong," Noah muttered to Hiram. He turned around, ready to head upstairs, before he did so he slid his arm around Rachel's waist and whispered in her ear, "You're everything. And I love you noise." He dropped a kiss to the tip of her noise before running upstairs and packing all the clothes in Rachel and Gemma's rooms.
As soon as Noah got to the bottom f the stairs he dropped the bags and launched himself across the room. Hiram had Rachel by the throat, tipping a hot cup of tea down her front and banging her head against the wall. Rachel had a trail of tears down her face as she fought for her breath. Noah tackled Hiram to the ground, punching him again and again and again, the only thing he could see was red. "Noah," he heard the tiny, venerable voice. He turned his head and saw Rachel lying on the floor, barley conscious. Noah scooped her up and ran out of the door. He ran all the way down the street to what he knew was the house owned by . He banged loudly on the door.
" OPEN THE DOOR," he yelled banging again. The door swung open to find a startled Mr. shue.
"What's going on?" Will asked glancing down at Rachel and gasping, "Puck what did you do?"
"Bathroom?" Noah asked. Tears of his own streaming down him face.
"Upstairs, second door on the right. But Puck-" Noah pushed passed him and ran up the stairs. He turned the shower on as cold as it would go and put the fully clothed Rachel into it. Will turned up in the doorway.
"Puck you need to tell me what's going on, what happened to her?" Will asked.
"I-I just need her to be okay. I'll explain later j-just please help her?" Noah asked in tears. Will took one look at Puck and knew how worried this boy was about his love.
"What do you need?"
"Uh-she'll be cold when she wakes up…I-I need you to go get her bags from her house sir…but her dad, he's going psycho at the moment a-and-"
"Don't worry, I'm on it." Will left.
"Baby?" Puck asked. Rachel tried to open her eyes but she felt heavy. He clothes felt heavy. As if Noah sensed this he took of each item of her clothing un till she was bare. Noah scanned the bright pink path down her stomach. Along with a busted lip, black eye and the old bruises on her ribs and stomach. The burn didn't look to bad-it wasn't likely to scar. Rachel's hands that were on the wall steadying her came round his neck.
"Noah…" she swallowed deeply, "I hurt."
It broke Noah's heart.
"Baby, I've got you." He wrapped her in a towel and carried her bridal style down stairs.
He laid her on the couch and found his way to the kitchen, flipping on the kettle and getting two ice packs. When he went back into the living room Rachel was standing looking down at her stomach, the towel was abandoned by her feet. When she sensed his presents she slowly lifted her head to meet his gaze.
"He was right Noah. I'm ugly…I'm fat-" Noah rushed over and caught her before she fell, he lowered them both to the ground and began rocking her naked, beaten body in his arms.
That's how Will found them 10 minutes later as he quietly put Rachel and Gemma's bags down on the couch. Will gasped when her was the bruises covering Rachel. Noah just shook his head at his teacher, picking the towel back up and placing it round her sobbing body.
"I'll make you two a cup of tea," Will said quietly. Noah smiled gratefully as he lifted Rachel into a standing position.
"Baby. We're going to get you dressed okay?" Rachel nodded. Noah got out her favourite pair of comfy tracksuit bottoms, helping her step into each leg and pulling them up, then he took out the hoodie-of his-he'd found in one of her draws, pulling it over her head and settling it under her butt.
When he sat on the couch and held a hand out to her, Rachel climbed into his lap. She wasn't sobbing anymore, but she still wasn't right.
Will came back into the room, placing two mugs on the coffee table for each of his students and sitting at the other end of the couch.
"What happened?"
"Her dad-she-I-we-uh," Noah couldn't get the words out, he didn't know how to explain this. Rachel looked up at him with her big doe eyes.
"Noah is Gem's father." She started in a shaky voice, "I didn't tell home that I was pregnant at all, but when he found out and he came back into my life and into Gem's, m-my dad didn't like it, he said…it doesn't matter but he wasn't very nice and Noah got angry. But my dad got angrier. And I slipped over and banged my head on the stairs-"
"Rachel." Noah's voice interrupted her. His eyes said it was time to tell the truth and her eyes said you do it, please.
"Hiram-Rachel's so called dad- has been hitting her since she was twelve. But it got worse when she had the baby. And even worse when I came back into her life. Today was the last straw for me when I saw the bruises on her stomach and I kicked the shit out of him and packed Rachel's bags. But when I was upstairs he punched her and got her by the throat, he even poured boiling water over her, she was only just conscious so I ran her to the nearest persons house I knew." Noah explained. Rachel buried her head into Noah's neck to try and hide her embarrassment.
"Rachel, you need to go to the police," Will said running a hand through his curls.
"No. I won't." Rachel said. Noah winced slightly at the death grip she had his thigh in.
Will sighed, there was no point arguing with her.
"I'm taking her home with me, I've got all her and Gemma's clothes in those bags," Noah said nodding towards the bags.
"That's a good idea," Will nodded, "Will your mother be okay with that?"
"Yeah. Rachel practically lived at mine for 2 years anyway," Noah said nodding his head and pecking Rachel's lips.
"So, I take it you two are together?" Will asked. Noah looked down at Rachel.
"That's up to Noah," Rachel said climbing off of his lap. She started pacing, "Noah can we go home, I'm tired."
Noah nodded, standing up and downing his cup of tea.
"Just know that I'm here for both of you if you need anything," Will said, "I'll see you guys tomorrow."
The whole way home Rachel cried silently with her head on Noah's lap. And when they walked through his front door she went straight upstairs. He followed her and got into the bed beside her, enveloping her in his arms before they both drifted off to sleep.
"Noah," Miriam whispered, "Noah."
Noah slowly opened his eyes. Miriam gestured for him to follow her downstairs. Noah kissed Rachel's forehead and slowly eased out of bed so as not to wake her.
They were sitting at the kitchen table, neither of them knew what to say.
"So…" Miriam started reluctantly, "Rachel?"
"Her and Gemma need to stay here for a while," Noah said, rubbing his hand over his face.
"Noah. What happened?"
"Her dad's been hitting her and today it got worse. I'm not letting it happen again."
"Have you been to the police?"
"No, she doesn't want to,"
"Well she should," Miriam's head shot up by the sound of her youngest child entering the room.
"Mom, Rachel's in Noah's bed, crying. Can I go sleep in there for a while?" Danni asked. Miriam nodded.
"Rachy?" Danni said unsurely as she slipped into the bed beside Rachel.
"I-I'm okay Dan, just been an emotional day." Rachel said leaning into the younger girls hug.
"Are you sure?" Rachel nodded. Danni's face lit up.
"Guess what!"
"What?" Rachel asked, smiling as well.
"I kissed a boy for the first time today," Danni grinned.
"Really! What's his name?"
"Toby Carter, please don't tell Noah, he'll probably chase the boy away."
Rachel grinned that was probably true.
"I won't. So is he your boyfriend now?"
"Yes, he asked me out before he kissed me," She grinned, touching her lips again.
"Was he good?"
"I-it was a bit…wet," Danni grimaced. Rachel smiled.
"It'll get better,"
"When was your first kiss?" Danni asked after a few minutes.
"Um, proper one?" Danni nodded, "Twelve."
"Oh…what were you doing when you were fourteen like me?"
"Uh…I was pregnant," Rachel grimaced. Danni shot her an offending look.
"Sh-should I be doing…more with boys then?"
"No!" Rachel quickly corrected her, "Me and Noah shouldn't have done any of that stuff un till we were older. I should have waited un till I was at least sixteen."
"Then why didn't you?"
"Because we were so in love." It was a simple statement. They both knew it to be true. Rachel and Noah's love was the only true love Danni had ever seen, having not been born when her father was around.
"Damn it Ma," Noah said, "She's crying…again. I don't know what to do."
"Just be there for her baby boy. Be there for her in the way only you know she needs." Miriam said. Noah nodded in understanding. He pointed towards the stairs and slapped one hand on the table softly, "I better get up there."
Miriam nodded, "Noah. They can stay as long as they like."
Noah smiled in return. Making his way upstairs. He paused just inside his door, hearing the love of his life and his little sister talking.
"What were you doing when you were fourteen?" Danni asked.
"Uh…" He heard Rachel breath catch, "I was pregnant."
"Sh-should I be doing…more with boys then?"
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! OH MY GOD NO! Please tell her no! she shouldn't be doing anything at all, like not even holding hands or-
"No! Me and Noah shouldn't have done any of that stuff un till we were older. I should have waited un till I was at least sixteen."
Waited? How come I've never heard any of this?
"Then why didn't you?"
"Because we were so in love."
Still are.
He slipped into the room, climbing into bed between the two brunette beauty's. He put an arm around each of them. Danni turned onto her back and Rachel buried her face into his chest and huddled against his side.
"God I'm the man now, two stunning girls in my bed!" Noah joked. Rachel thwacked him on the chest and Danni scoffed, "I'm your sister!"
Noah chuckled, drawing them both closer and kissing the top of Rachel's head.
"Love you Rachel, Love you Danni."
"Love you Rachy, love you puck," Danni said drifting off slightly.
"Love you Dann." Rachel said, she couldn't hide the smile on her face and Noah scoffed, "Fine. I love you too Noah, but it's not like you didn't know hat already."
There was a soft knock at the door. Miriam entered with Gemma in her arms.
"Wan mommy," Gemma was mumbling sleepily.
"One more for the bed," Miriam said. Rachel sat up immediately, taking Gemma into her arms.
"Hey baby girl. You miss me huh?" Rachel whispered. Gemma cooed happily in her arms, hugging her tightly around the neck. Miriam smiled as they settled back down. Gemma hand her arm round Rachel and her face buried into Rachel's neck, Miriam had walked in so many times to this sleeping position, but her son replacing her granddaughter.
Rachel watched as Noah and Santana talked, scratch that flirted. She saw Noah's little grin as Santana twirled her hair onto her finger.
Noah had no interest in what Santana was saying. She was talking about having a good time, or good sex or…something. Noah grinned to himself when he thought about how stupid Santana looked twirling her hair around her little finger. When he looked up and met Rachel's angry eyes the grin vanished, he chased after her as she ran through the corridor. Catching her by the wrist before she could disappear.
"Baby?"
"Don't! You're full of bull. You say you want me ad only me then you flirt with her. Just quit it already. I'll be moving into the spare bedroom tonight." and she was gone.
FUCK. He needed to fix this.
Rachel was sitting in her math class when suddenly Noah's voice came over the speakers.
"Baby. I love you. I hope this clears everything up.

Mu-" Noah was cut off by principle Figgens.
"PUCK! What on earth are you doing?"
"Uh- singing to ma girl?" Noah said.
As Puck finished the song and told the world-well the school- that her was her baby daddy Rachel blushed brightly and grinned, everyone was staring at her but she just packed up and ran for the principles office.
Noah saw Rachel push passed Principle Figgens and suddenly he had his arms full of apologetic midget.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I doubted you." She crashed her lips to his un till they were both out of breath.
"Baby," Noah said pulling back and breathing heavily, "I would of doubted me too. I love you."
"I love you too." Rachel grinned nipping at his bottom lip and kissing him full on again.
