Make Me Forget

Chapter 9 - It All Came Crashing Down

Puck chickened out telling her after that showdown in Glee. Rachel never brought it up and he didn't bring it up either. Kurt was right to question his badassness; Puck was turning into a complete pansy. They were at Glee again the next week and Puck was watching Rachel from where he sat beside Finn. Quinn had skipped Glee because she was tired and Finn had wanted someone to talk to so Puck had sat with him, being his best friend mad+e it a pre-requisite. Being his best friend also meant not knocking up his girlfriend but Puck failed that best friend requirement.

"Rachel looks happier than she's been in a long time," Finn commented also watching Rachel who was practicing some dance moves with Tina. Every so often she spun and her short skirt lifted a little. Puck was dying to see what panties she was wearing today.

She looks happier because of me, Puck thought to himself smugly, though he didn't like where this conversation was going and he did not like the look on Finn's face when he looked at Rachel. Rachel was his.

"I keep thinking I should get over her because of Quinn but there is something about her I just can't shake, like in another time or another place, we could have been together, we could have been perfect for each other," Finn said softly and Puck nudged him, definitely not liking to hear Finn talk about Rachel like he was in love with her.

"Dude, you're having a baby and you have Quinn, forget Berry," Puck advised gruffly and Finn shook his head and gave a sheepish grin.

"You're right," he agreed giving a goofy laugh and scratching the back of his head, "I love Quinn I do, she's my girl. I'm actually hoping she changes her mind about the adoption."

"You are?" Puck asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, I mean I was shocked at first but that's our Drizzle she's carrying. A part of her and a part of me, our daughter means something special to us," Finn said warmly thinking of the child in Quinn's belly. A smile of complete and utter happiness came to his face.

Puck felt like an asshole for letting Finn continue to believe that Drizzle was his baby but he said nothing, he just patted Finn on the back. This was Quinn's choice, either way, Puck didn't want to get in the way of his daughter's happiness. The best thing he could do was let it be, no matter how much it hurt him. Mr. Shue called the boys up for the all guy performance and the conversation ended.

The girls all sat down to watch the men perform their number. Rachel couldn't keep her eyes off Puck. His brow was furrowed with concentration as he sang and danced, he looked; really cute. She knew if she told him that he would be offended and go on about how he was a sexy man, and men were not cute. It was funny how well she knew him.

"Rachel have you got any tampons?" Mercedes whispered urgently to Rachel and Rachel nodded grabbing her purse. She pulled out the item in question and discreetly handed them to Mercedes who muttered her thanks and retreated to the bathroom.

Rachel frowned looking into her purse when she realized she hadn't replaced those tampons in a long time. A long, long time. Rachel felt her hands start to quiver as she considered the possibility of what this could mean. Rachel felt a wave of nausea rush over her and she bolted for the bathroom to empty the contents of her stomach. She heard Mercedes asking her if she was okay but Rachel ignored her. She remained kneeling there at the toilet for a moment to gather her thoughts. There was no way. She hadn't felt any different, she couldn't recall any symptoms. Rachel returned to Glee and moved through the rest of the rehearsal like a zombie. Finn had to ask her five times if she was okay and she was flat for every high note. Puck was giving her weird looks which she purposely ignored.

After rehearsal Rachel bundled Kurt into her car while sending Puck a text telling him she was busy tonight.

"Can I ask why you are kidnapping me? I do have my own car you know," Kurt reminded her dusting off his clothes and Rachel slid into the driver's seat and gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"I need you to buy me pregnancy test," Rachel said through gritted teeth and Kurt did a double take at her in shock.

"Come again?"

"Don't make me say it again Kurt," Rachel growled and Kurt let out a whistle of air but sat back in the passenger seat putting on his seat belt obediently. Rachel did the same and then drove out of the school car park. Once they had picked up the pregnancy tests, all three of them, Rachel dropped Kurt back off at school. Kurt got out of the car but stopped before he closed the door.

"Call me during the wait," he told her sternly and Rachel nodded.

She barely recalled how she made it home. Her dad's were at a work dinner and had left her dinner in the fridge but she bypassed the food and headed straight to the bathroom. She carefully read and then reread the instructions before taking the three tests into the toilet and following the instructions to the tee. Once they were peed on Rachel lined them up on the bathroom counter and bit her nail. She grabbed her phone and set the alarm then she called Kurt.

"How long does it take?" Kurt exclaimed excitedly from the other end of the phone ignoring any form of greeting and Rachel felt her heart pounding.

"Three minutes," she informed him, her voice shaking nervously, "Please talk to me about something, anything."

Kurt went into a rendition of the first time he ever went to see 'Wicked' in great detail. Three minutes later Rachel's phone beeped and she gasped. Kurt stopped telling her about 'Wicked' and gave a very feminine squeal of excitement.

"I'm going to pee myself with excitement," Kurt declared and when Rachel was silent he prompted her, "Well are you up the duff or not?"

Rachel stared down at the two pink lines that were showing on each test, and then she checked the box then stared down at the two pink lines again. Two pink lines. She was pregnant.

"It's negative Kurt, thanks for your help," Rachel said tightly then she clicked her phone shut ending the conversation.

Rachel stared at the positive tests then buried her face in her hands and cried.

The first thing Puck noticed when he got to school Friday morning was that Rachel wasn't there. He waited by her locker but she didn't show so he sent her a text asking her why she wasn't at school. Puck couldn't think of any reason why she would skip, Rachel Berry did not skip school. He received a text back and he read it frowning.

Sick. Come see me tonight?

Puck wrote back to her quickly, asking if she was okay. Again it didn't take long for a text back.

I'm fine, tonight?

It was short and to the point, very unlike her texts. Usually they were full of smiley faces and LOL's. Puck was worried, and he wasn't going to spend his whole day worrying. Puck made a beeline for the car park while sending a text back to Rachel telling her he would be at her house soon.

Rachel was pacing the foyer of her house waiting for Puck. She was just glad her dad's were at work. If they took one look at her they would know something was wrong and Rachel would end up blurting out the reason to them and that would cause even more drama. Rachel didn't know how she was going to tell Puck this; she wasn't sure what his reaction would be. They weren't even dating. This was a nightmare. He would be angry she was sure of it. God, how did this happen? Well she knew how it happened but that was beside the point. Rachel felt herself starting to cry and she tried to brush them away but they kept coming.

What is wrong with me? She cursed herself furiously and there was an urgent knock on the door. Without pausing to wipe her face Rachel opened the door and Puck walked in and shut it quickly behind him taking in her face and the tears.

"Rach, you're crying, what's wrong?"

Rachel had been practicing her speech all night but now that he was actually standing there in front of her gazing down at her with those intense eyes she couldn't form the words. All she could do was just say it.

"I'm pregnant Noah."

"I'm the father of Quinn's baby," Puck blurted the words out before he could help himself, so stunned by Rachel's announcement that it was the only thing he could say. Rachel took a step back from him in shock.

"Wow...congratulations, you've impregnated two girls before you even finished high school. There should be some sort of award for that," she said dryly sitting down on the couch and burying her face in her hands.

This was a nightmare. She was supposed to be a Broadway star, not some teenage mother. Not another statistic or a high school horror story. Rachel's shoulders started heaving with sobs. She was a sophomore; she was sixteen for God's sake. She wasn't properly equipped to deal with something as serious as this. She was going to be one of those girls that people pittied and shook thier heads at. They would say things like 'Oh poor thing' and 'Isn't that a waste'. Rachel Berry was not one of those girls. Well at least she wasn't before. That thought just made her sob harder.

"What am I going to do?" she sobbed brokenly and Noah sprung into action sitting next to her while wrapping a well muscled arm around her shoulders. Rachel considered pulling away. After all, he had just told her he impregnated his best friend's girlfriend, but Rachel also loved him and wanted him to hold her. Needed him to hold her. She shifted so she could cry on his shoulder.

"Rach, I'll take care of you," Noah promised her and Rachel pulled away from him abruptly.

"You don't even like me," she retorted angrily and Noah shook his head at her wondering how after all this time she still couldn't see. Everyone else could see. Everyone but her.

"Quinn won't let me help with her baby, let me help you with ours," he begged and then almost as an afterthought, he figured he may as well tell her the truth, finally tell her how he felt about her. She was stuck with him now anyway, "And I do like you."

"You're just saying that because I told you I'm pregnant," Rachel muttered at him, a look of annoyance coming to her face and Noah pulled away from her indignantly.

"I do like you; I have liked you since we dated the first time. You were the one who broke up with me remember?" Noah didn't even realized his voice was becoming angrier and louder as he continued, "This whole arrangement was your idea. I would have said yes to getting back together but I did what you wanted because I care about you and I want whatever you want. I was hoping that eventually you would realize how much I liked you."

"Really?" Rachel squeaked, shocked by his words and she asked him hesitantly, "You like me?"

Noah sighed and took her into his arms, pulling her close to his chest so he could look into her eyes with his face inches from hers. For someone who was supposed to be smart, Rachel Berry was kind of dense when it came to love.

"Berry, I may just love you," he told her simply. He actually did love her, but he didn't want to scare her away so soon. Plus he didn't know how she felt and he wasn't just going to throw something like that out there unless he was 99% sure he was going to get a positive response. Rachel peered up at him and smiled, sniffing back some tears.

"I may just love you too," she admitted a little sheepishly and Noah bent his head down and kissed her lips lingeringly. In spite of the whole situation Rachel couldn't help but feel happy, though the gravity of the situation was weighing heavily down on her. She had life in her belly and Noah had two kids on the way with two different girls. Noah didn't say anything, he just held her protectively.

"What are we going to do?" Rachel finally spoke up using a small voice and Noah pursed his lips.

"I guess we decide if you want to keep the baby," he informed her trying not to let his emotions get a hold of him. Noah wanted to keep the baby, but he didn't want to force her. She was the one who would have to carry the baby, deal with the whispers and stares; he would be beside her every step of the way but it was still a big decision.

"Do you?" Rachel asked staring up at him trying to see whether he wanted to keep the baby or not but Noah's face was expressionless.

"It's not my choice, it's yours," he told her calmly, and then he smiled and kissed her again, "I'm with you either way."

"I think we need to talk to an adult," Rachel put forward decidedly and there was only one person they knew that they could go to.

"Mr. Shue."

"First thing Monday," Rachel agreed then rested her head onto his shoulder yawning, "Give us the weekend to think."

Rachel fell asleep on his shoulder. Once he was sure she was sleeping, Noah let himself really feel. He was shocked about the news but he was also happy in a way. He was having a baby, one that Rachel wasn't denying him. He was having a baby with a woman that he loved. Noah looked down at her fondly his eyes drifting to her stomach. He imagined her lying with him with a pregnant belly and it made him smile. He rested his eyes for a little while, letting sleep overcome him with dreams of Rachel and their baby.

Noah awoke to something poking him in the side and he mumbled something incoherent and opened his eyes to see Rachel sitting across from him on the coffee table. She reached over and poked him again. Noah sat up realizing he had fallen asleep on the couch and raised his eyebrows at her questioningly.

"Why didn't you tell me about Quinn and the baby?" Rachel asked bluntly and Noah should have known that this was coming.

"Quinn asked me not to tell anyone," Noah explained and Rachel's expression didn't change so he elaborated, "She's giving the baby up for adoption anyway, I figured the best thing I could do for all of us, you and Finn included, was to let go. Quinn and I don't even like each other,
what happened was a stupid mistake, that's why Quinn is giving the baby up for adoption and if I stay out of the way the baby has a chance for a great life, with parents who love her."

He knew that his excuses were lame and little cliché but they were also the truth. Rachel bit her lip thoughtfully before she moved to settle beside him on the couch and wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders. Noah knew he was at least partially forgiven since she wasn't screaming for him to get out of her house and he was thankful, though he knew he didn't deserve the forgiveness or her. Rachel wanted to hate him, she wanted to hurt him like his news had hurt her, but she couldn't. She could see the pain behind his eyes when he spoke of the baby he wasn't allowed to care about, he was being punished enough as it was. Rachel thought about Finn and his innocence in this whole scenario. Rachel couldn't change the past, but she could make things right.

"You need to tell Finn, you can't let him go on believing the lie. You are supposed to be his best friend Noah and while your actions towards Quinn may have proven you are not exactly the greatest best friend out there you owe it to him to tell him the truth," Rachel stated firmly and Noah was horrified. Tell Finn the truth? Didn't she realize that Finn would never forgive him for this? He and Finn had been best friends since they were kids, this would ruin them. Although, it was his own stupid fault for letting alcohol get the better of him. Rachel looked up at him earnestly.

"I'll lose my best friend Rach," Noah told her shaking his head. He didn't know how he was going to tell Finn but if Rachel wanted him to he would do anything for her. He owed her this for keeping the secret from her.

"I will stand by you Noah but you said it yourself, he is your best friend, he deserves to hear the truth from you," Rachel's words made sense and tugged on his moral compass. Noah nodded; he would have to tell Finn. He owed Finn more than he owed Quinn.

"I'll tell him Monday," he promised and Rachel leaned over to kiss him.

"You're a good man Noah, I believe in you," she whispered and Noah rested his chin on her head.

They had a silent agreement to not speak of the baby all weekend, but both couldn't stop thinking about the life growing inside of Rachel. They spent some time apart, but when they were together Puck couldn't stop looking at her belly and running his fingers along it. Rachel noticed his actions but didn't say anything, realizing what it was Puck wanted. Wondering if she had the strength to go along with what he wanted.

When Monday came around Puck pulled up outside of the Berry house. Rachel came walking down the steps and hopped into the truck. Puck leaned over and captured her in a kiss.

"Just so we're clear, you are officially my girlfriend," he informed her in a voice that held no room for argument. Not that Rachel wanted to argue.

As they pulled into the school lot Rachel felt more nervous than she had felt in her whole entire life which was silly considering she had already dated Puck and been with him in front of the whole student body. This time just felt different, more serious; well it was more serious, her being pregnant and all, not that anyone knew that. Puck carefully helped her out of the cab before planting a kiss on her lips.

"There is a God, tell me you two are finally out of the closet," Kurt exclaimed from behind them and Puck and Rachel turned to see Kurt standing with Mercedes looking at them proudly. Santana and Matt were behind them grinning.

"Yeah we're out and proud," Puck confirmed throwing an arm around Rachel's shoulders and kissing her temple. A couple of people stopped and stared but none of the Glee members paid them any mind.

"It is about damn time," Mercedes added in her two cents rolling her eyes and Matt agreed wholeheartedly.

"Yeah!"

"Matt you owe me twenty bucks!" Santana squealed holding out her hand for payment and Rachel gaped at her in shock.

"You bet on us getting together?" Rachel asked incredulously as Matt grudgingly handed over the twenty to his girlfriend grumbling about how we couldn't have waited until after Sectionals.

"I bet on you getting together before Sectionals and you guys did it just in time," Santana told them gleefully pocketing the money.

Sectionals was in four weeks. Mr. Shue had called extra rehearsals on Monday afternoons for all their last minute preparations. Kurt tossed his head back.

"Well if you will all excuse me, I need to go spread this lovely piece of gossip," with that said Kurt turned and waltzed into school with Mercedes in tow.

Puck rubbed Rachel's back gently.

"You ready?" he asked her softly and Rachel bit her lip and nodded firmly.

"Yes."

Ok, you know those movies where a new couple walk in the room and everyone stops and stares? Well thankfully that didn't happen. Rachel and Puck managed to maneuvre into school without any real stares; no one noticed their clasped hands. Rachel felt like people would be able to read she was pregnant just by looking at her but of course that wasn't the case. Still, she felt extremely paranoid. Rachel led the way to her locker with Puck following attached to her hand when she was accosted by Jacob Ben-Israel who blocked her way.

"Rachel Berry I just wanted to check if you changed your mind about dating me?" Jacob Ben-Israel asked her, his eyes raking up and down her form appreciatively and Rachel instinctively covered her chest with her hands. Puck moved to stand beside Rachel and placed an arm around her shoulder possessively.

"She's already dating someone, so scram Chia pet," Puck growled warningly and Jacob looked from Rachel to Puck in shock before backing away. Behind him Finn was frozen in place, Quinn standing beside him. Rachel glanced at Quinn quickly, her eyes drifting to Quinn's stomach. Quinn was carrying Puck's baby and Rachel was carrying Noah's baby. This was like something from a soap opera.

"You and Puck?" Finn asked in disbelief half waiting for someone to run out and yell 'Got you!' but no one did. Quinn didn't seem at all surprised.

"Yes we decided to get back together," Rachel confirmed and Puck grinned.

Quinn looked up at Finn and nudged him to stop staring. Finn mumbled something that sounded like 'that's great' then opened up his locker to get his books. Rachel poked Puck in the ribs and nodded at Finn. Puck wiggled his eyebrows to mentally tell her to 'stop being pushy' and Rachel glared and poked him again. Puck bent down to kiss her nose.

"Go to class," he told her and Rachel huffed with annoyance going into her locker and grabbing her books before striding away without a second glance.

Puck shook his head. Pregnant women and their mood swings. It wasn't like Puck was going to blurt out his paternity in the middle of the hallway with Quinn standing right there. Speaking of Quinn, Puck looked over at her and she gave him a small smile of approval. Puck couldn't help but think she wouldn't be looking at him like that if she knew what he was going to tell Finn. Puck noticed Finn kept glancing at him and opening his mouth then changing his mind so Puck decided to head into the bathroom knowing Finn was sure to follow him. Finn was predictable like that. He would come in waving his good guy flag and go on about how Rachel was 'special' and that Puck 'better be good to her'. Which would be the perfect scenario because Puck needed to talk to him without Quinn there.

"I'm going to the can," Puck said to make it clear then he made a beeline for the boys bathroom. Behind him he heard Finn tell Quinn he would meet her at class, and that he had to go to the toilet as well. Puck was only in there for a couple of seconds when Finn burst in.

"You better not hurt her Puck, Rachel deserves everything," Finn started straight away with the threatening and Puck was prepared.

"I know that, I love her," Puck retorted and Finn blinked at him unable to process that Puck was in love with Rachel Berry of all people. He was having trouble getting past the part where Puck was in love with anyone. Given his sketchy past Puck could forgive the look on Finn's face.

"You do?" Finn managed to ask and Puck nodded seriously.

"Yeah, I do."

Finn eyed him closely, as though trying to make sure it definitely wasn't some big joke. Finn recalled speaking to Puck that day at the lockers about the girl he liked and realized that this must have been going on for quite some time. Finn hated to think that he had lost Rachel, but in reality he hadn't had her to begin with, she had never been his. Finn didn't have a chance with her now she was with his best friend, but he could make sure Puck treated her the way she deserved.

"Okay, just take care of her," Finn said carefully, his face revealing a little of the pain he was feeling. Puck figured it was now or never. As soon as he asked Finn to meet him after school there was no going back, he would tell Finn about Quinn's baby being his. This was the day that everything would change. Puck readied himself and then asked the question that would seal their friendship and Finn's relationship with Quinn.

"Finn, can I talk to you today after school?"

"Sure," Finn said slapping him on the shoulder a little harder than necessary adding seriously, "Puck, Rachel is a special girl, you're lucky to have her."

Finn exited the bathroom and Puck stared after him. Finn didn't need to tell him he was lucky to have Rachel, he already knew.

Rachel met up with him at lunch. Well not really 'met up' so much as pushed him against a locker and raised her eyebrows, clearly asking if he had talked to Finn yet. Puck vaguely wondered if being pregnant gave women super human strength because she had pushed him pretty hard. Not that he would ever admit that because he was taking back his badass title and was determined to no longer be a pansy.

"This afternoon, Finn is meeting me after school; can you catch a ride home with Kurt?" Puck asked her and Rachel relaxed and placed her head against his chest, changing her emotions in an instant.

"Okay."

"Did you want to talk to Shue now?" Puck asked her and Rachel stiffened then pulled away from him nodding. Taking her hand, they slowly walked to Mr Shue's office.

Rachel straightened her clothes like it mattered then knocked on the door waiting impatiently for Mr Shue to answer. Her right foot starting tapping up and down. Puck found the whole stance adorable.

"Mr. Shue, we need to talk to you," she called out and Mr. Shue opened up his door greeting them both and inviting them into his cramped office. Luckily there were two chairs and Rachel and Puck took their seats facing the desk while Mr Shue sat down and looked across the desk at them, grabbing the sandwich he had been trying to eat before they interrupted him.

"So what's up?" Mr. Shue asked his face friendly and kind. Mr. Shue thought they were there to talk about their duet, which was definitely something he could handle. What came out of Puck's mouth was the last thing Mr. Shue was expecting.

"Rachel's pregnant," Puck blurted out and Mr. Shue did a double take at Rachel then ran a hand through his short curls in bafflement as his sandwich fell to the table remaining uneaten.

"Why do you kids all come to me when you get someone pregnant?" he asked helplessly and Rachel nervously crossed her legs and bit her lip in a way Puck found incredibly sexy. He mentally slapped himself, now was not the time to be getting turned on by his pregnant girlfriend.

"You're our friend Mr. Shue, we trust you," Rachel pointed out and her words warmed Mr. Shue's heart. He felt honored that the kids felt so comfortable around him, although he really did wish they would stop getting the girls of Glee pregnant. If this continued all the girls would be in labor by the time Nationals was on.

"Puck getting you pregnant I did not see coming," Mr. Shue said with a sort of bemused expression on his face and Rachel fixed him with a stare. She opened her mouth ready to begin a tirade on how wonderful Puck was when Puck placed his hand on top of hers. They only had half an hour for lunch, he couldn't let her go off on a tangent when there were important things to discuss.

"It happened and we need advice," Puck interrupted and Mr. Shue bit his lip thoughtfully.

"I'm not qualified for this, but Miss Pillsbury is the school counselor. Do you mind if I ask her to help?" Mr. Shue asked a little desperately and Puck and Rachel looked at each other and shrugged. Mr. Shue raced out of his office nearly tripping on the way out. Puck stroked Rachel's hand as they waited and Mr. Shue returned a couple of minutes later pulling Miss Pillsbury behind him. He carefully shut the door behind him then let Miss Pillsbury sit in his chair. She had a hesitant smile on her face as she glanced at all present curiously placing her briefcase on the floor beside the desk.

"So what's the big secret?" Miss Pillsbury asked innocently and Puck sighed hating to have to repeat himself but knowing it was necessary. At least it was getting easier to say.

"Rachel's pregnant and we need help."

"You and Noah?" Miss Pillsbury choked out then she turned to Mr. Shue with an amazed look on her face, "Wow, did not see that coming."

"That's what I said," Mr. Shue gave a nervous laugh and Miss Pillsbury joined him, hers a little more high pitched. Rachel and Puck looked at their teachers who looked more freaked out that they were.

"For adults who are supposed to be helping us you aren't doing much to alleviate our fears and help us with our problems," Rachel reprimanded them and Mr. Shue and Miss Pillsbury got a hold of themselves feeling justly chastened by her words. Miss Pillsbury clasped her hands together and leaned onto the desk in a professional stance, placing her soft briefcase on the table.

"Sorry Rachel, ok, well let's start. I guess the first thing is to decide whether you wish to keep the baby or not," Miss Pillsbury began seriously and Puck looked over at Rachel feeling his palms begin to sweat nervously. Everything depended on what Rachel wanted. Rachel's hand tightened on Puck's as she spoke.

"I've been thinking about it and I don't think that I could get rid of it."

"Okay, so you're having the baby, here's a pamphlet," Miss Pillsbury rummaged through her bag and handed them the pamphlet that said 'So you're keeping the baby, good luck to you' and Puck and Rachel read it and then looked up at each other. That sounded rather ominous. Miss Pillsbury nervously fumbled her hands, "Do you and Noah want to raise the baby together?"

"Yes," Noah answered for her and Rachel looked over at him smiling. This was really the first time they had talked seriously about the future with the baby. It was daunting and he was scared shittless but Puck was going to do right by his kid and Rachel.

"Ok, well first thing would be to tell your parents," Miss Pillsbury informed them and their faces of joy quickly went to faces of dread.

"My dad's are going to kill me," Rachel moaned covering her face with her hands and Puck scoffed that her two gay dads' could be worse than his single mother.

"Your dad's? My mom is going to murder me. Although you are Jewish so she probably won't mind that much," Puck commented trying to lighten the mood but he was a little afraid. His mother may actually try and murder him; he'd have to make sure Rachel was there when he told her. His mother wouldn't risk scarring her future grandchild.

Rachel's mind was focusing on the fact she was about to be a mother in high school. It was a big deal; she would be looking after a tiny little person who would take up all her time, all her energy. Suddenly a thought crossed her mind and selfish as it was she voiced it anyway.

"What about my future? Noah if I keep the baby I'll never be a star."

Mr Shue jumped into action at her words and came to kneel beside her chair. He firmly believed that just because she was having baby she didn't have to give up her bright future. Rachel Berry had a talent not often seen and he would not let her sit around and let it go to waste.

"It's not impossible to be a mother and a star Rachel, I'm not saying it won't be difficult, it will be the hardest thing you will ever do, and you will have to work your butt off, but it's possible to be both especially with a supportive partner," Mr Shue assured her looking over at Puck and Puck took over.

"Rach, I graduate this year, I'll get us a place to live and look after the baby while you are at school, by the time you graduate she or he will be two years old, and you can go to college, baby and I will follow you," Puck told her simply, like it was the easiest plan in the world. Puck had actually been going through scenarios all weekend and this was the one he liked the most. Rachel could follow her dream and Puck could have her and his baby and they would be all together. It would be hard, and a struggle but Puck knew they could do it.

"What about college for you?" Rachel asked frowning and Puck shrugged. College hadn't really been an option for him before the baby, so it wasn't as big a deal to him as it was to her.

"I'd rather be a dad, watch the baby and support our family."

"That is a very sensible plan Rachel," Mr Shue added patting her shoulder and Rachel felt tears pricking at her eyes as she flung her arms around Puck's neck wondering what she did to deserve a man so wonderful and supportive. Puck held her tenderly stroking her hair.

"So did you not think to use contraceptive?" Miss Pillsbury interrupted them and Puck and Rachel looked at each other blankly.

"I assumed Rach was on them, I saw the pill container in her purse," Puck pointed out and Rachel groaned rolling her eyes at their stupidity.

"Noah, those hold my iron tablets. I'm not on the pill, you were supposed to be the more experienced one, I just assumed you knew what you were doing to not get a girl pregnant or that you would tell me if I needed to be on the pill," Rachel retorted and Puck shrugged. It was all water under the bridge, there was nothing they could do about it now.

"Well that's one thing you have to learn about me, never assume I know what I'm doing," Puck replied smoothly wiggling his eyebrows at her and Rachel shook her head at him.

"That's really comforting," Rachel deadpanned. This was the man who was the father of her baby.

Puck just placed an arm around her shoulders and kissed her temple. Miss Pillsbury went through the finer details, but mainly she impressed upon them how important it was that they tell their parents first and that Rachel go to the doctor for a check up soon to confirm the pregnancy was going smoothly. Once it was agreed upon they all got to their feet ready to head to Glee when Brittany burst into Mr. Shue's office.

"Mr. Shue, help, something's wrong with Quinn!" she all but shrieked turning and running and they all bolted after her. Brittany led them to the auditorium where Finn, Kurt, Santana and Mercedes knelt by Quinn who was moaning in pain. There was blood and Quinn's wrist was bent at a weird angle.

"What happened?" Mr. Shue demanded running over and Finn moved out of the way, his face pale.

"She fell down the stairs," Finn said keeping a hold of Quinn's good hand as Mr. Shue surveyed the damage. Puck and Rachel followed, and Puck grabbed Rachel's hand holding onto it tightly as he looked down at Quinn who was holding her belly.

"My stomach, it hurts so bad," Quinn moaned in pain and Mr. Shue looked panicked when he realized the blood was coming from between her legs.

"Call an ambulance!"

AN: Yeah I went there with Rachel being pregnant lol And I know; who leaves cliffhangers? Well apparently I do.

NEXT CHAPTER: A really sad and emotional time and many secrets will be revealed. Bring your tissues.

Just finished watching Ballads swooning over all the Puck and Rachel moments (well the one puck and rachel moment), even if he is being sarcastic to her. When the show starts he is sitting next to her in Glee :) So maybe subconsciously he still likes her...yeah thats it.

I know it was inappropriate but when Finn started singing to the ultrasound DVD i cracked myself laughing. And baaaaaaahahahahahah Oh Kurt you little horn dog hitting on Finn left right and centre. Seriously Finn and Kurt are becoming my new favourite couple. At least Finn can't get Kurt pregnnat. OMFG how funny was Finn's face in the song when Kurt was like 'call me' hahahahaha.
