4 weeks later…
Noah and I were waiting nervously in the plastic chairs sitting in silence with a firm grip on each others hands while my dads paced around the tiny room with anxious looks on their faces. Today was my second scan and the first scan that Noah and my dads had been to seeing as when the first one happened I hadn't told any one about the baby. The baby. It makes it all seem so real now. Not that it wasn't real before but being able to see it and hear its tiny heartbeat makes you realise that there is somebody growing inside your body. Something that is mine and Noah's that nobody can take away. I loved it already.
"Berry family" the nurse called and my dads who had sat down eventually jumped up along with Noah who consequently pulled me up with him as our hands were so tight.
"Here" my daddy shouted. I shushed him and flattened my shirt down before starting the walk into the doctors room and Noah and my dads rushed to follow me.
"Will you all just calm down for a minute and take a deep breath, you are stressing me out and that's not good for the baby!" I shouted at them and they closed their mouths and continued to follow me but this time more calmly.
Once we reached the small room we all squeezed inside and I took my place on the examination table.
"So I understand that you are around 8 weeks pregnant and have decided to keep the baby?" The nurse asked me.
"Yes, after a long talk with my family and boyfriend I decided that I couldn't go through with an abortion, and that even though I am only young I will try and be the best mother I can be." I replied confidently.
"Great, that's good to hear that for a change, I get so many teenage pregnancies in here but most of them just want the abortion or aren't really bothered about their child's future"
"Yes well our Rachel isn't just anyone, she is going to be a star even with this baby." My daddy said with a touch of annoyance in his voice.
"I don't doubt that Mr Berry, ok then lets see this baby"
The nurse squirted the gel over my stomach and I flinched because it was really cold. Then she go the probe and started poking at my stomach with it before securing a heartbeat and a fuzzy image appeared on the screen.
"Oh Noah" I said unable to contain the tears that seemed to be in my throat and I held onto his hand.
"I know babe, I know"
Suddenly there was a loud sob in the room and I turned round and saw Debbie Puckerman, Noah's mum in the room. She was a nurse at this hospital but we didn't realise that she would be at this place now. We hadn't told her about the pregnancy as there hadn't really been a right time to do it, but now we realised that it was too late.
"Noah Aaron Puckerman what in the Moses' name is this and would any one care to explain why I am clearly the only one in this room to not know about this pregnancy!"
"Oh shit Ma, I meant to tell you but you always seemed busy and there was never a right time to do it, we haven't known that long"
"And that is why this is her 8 week scan, there wasn't enough time to tell me! I am always there for you and I always make time for things that are important for you so don't you dare give me that bullshit."
"Mrs Puckerman, I am so sorry that we didn't tell you but to be honest we didn't really know what to do ourselves so we thought that the less people involved the better. I am truly sorry but we have only just decided that we were keeping the baby ourselves."
"Your keeping the baby?" Debbie Puckerman choked up and barely got the words out.
"Yes, we decided that we couldn't give the baby up because we love it already with all our hearts and if we gave it up it would be like giving up a part of us too."
"Yeah Ma we really wanted to tell you but only a few people knew and we wanted to have this scan done first before telling anyone else."
"Wait when you say a few people how many people knew because the only ones that I would deem important would be me Rachel's fathers and you, so enlighten me on who the other people are and why they knew about this before I did!"
"Mrs Puckerman I had told Quinn, Santana and Kurt the other week because they are my best friends and I wasn't acting the way I normally act and I didn't want to worry them."
"Wait you let Rachel tell her friends and you couldn't be bothered to come and tell me, you knew that I would understand Noah, I always understand when it comes to you. I cant believe that you didn't trust me enough to come and tell me."
"Daddies, why don't you step outside for a minute with the nurse and we can talk to Mrs Puckerman and explain all of this." I said calmly to my dads.
"Sure come on Hiram lets leave them to talk to Debbie."
The nurse followed them as they walked out of the room and Debbie Puckerman turned to us with tears swimming in her eyes.
"I can't believe that you hadn't told me. I thought that we had that kind of relationship Noah, I thought that you felt that you come to me with anything…." She trailed off, with a hurt look on her face.
"Mrs Puckerman, Debbie, we wanted to tell you but we hadn't really had the time, I mean I haven't know for all that long and Noah and I thought that it would be best if we told as few people as possible so that we could make up our minds on what to do." I tried to explain.
"Ma it's what Rach said really, we haven't known that long and then I acted like a complete dick, so I didn't want to put more stress on you what with work being what it is at the moment."
"Noah, honey, I would have always been there for you no matter what work was like, I would have understood, I meant I had you at 18 so who am I to judge? And what do you mean by you acting like a complete dick?"
"It was silly really, Noah and I just had a slight argument when I told him about the baby and that I was considering having an abortion or giving it up for adoption."
Debbie Puckerman just sat there staring at both me and her son and then she reached over to Noah and smacked him round the back of the head.
"Jees Ma what was that for" Noah said rubbing the back of his head when the blow had hit him. Debbie just smiled and then pulled us both into an embrace.
"You are both so stupid, I still can't believe that you didn't come to me with this but seeing as your giving me a 100% Jewish grandbaby I don't care."
There was a timid knocking on the door, it was the nurse.
"I am sorry to interrupt this Debbie but we need to use this room so if you could step outside to continue this conversation."
"Oh right of course, we've finished now anyway, thank you Sandra"
Debbie started towards the door and we followed shortly behind. My dads were sitting outside in the waiting room. We walked over to them.
"Debbie…" My dad Hiram started to explain before he got cut off.
"Hiram, Leroy, Rachel and Noah have already explained to me about why they didn't tell me and I understand that you had no part to do with this, I still can't believe that we are both getting our Jewish grandbaby even if they are young."
"I know I thought that Rachel would end up having a child with a Christian co-star or something like that, we never imagined that something like this would happen." Leroy said.
"Ok well now that this is over can we go and get some food because this baby has decided that it is hungry" I said.
Everyone nodded in agreement and after scheduling another appointment and paying for the last one we made our way out, chatting and talking about where to go to get something to eat.
