I do not own Glee :P

A/N#1:Italics=flashback.

This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
[You'll be in my Heart, Phil Collins]

"Please let me go, I am not your Rachel. This is not my home. My name is Jennifer my real home is back in California with my real dad."

Those words just kept echoing in my head as I drove down the highway back home. I glanced quickly to the passenger seat and saw that Shelby just seemed to be staring vacantly out into space but I knew that she was just putting up a mask trying to convince not only others but herself as well that Rachel's words didn't hurt her. I grabbed Shelby's hand and just started to rub circles on the back of her palm to let her know everything was going to work out. She finally turned to look at me and just gave me a small smile letting me know that she appreciated the comfort. I then proceeded to look at the back seat through the rear view mirror I could see that Holly had fallen asleep with her head leaning on the car window, Rachel had a look of confusion, sadness, anger and just plain exhaustion written all over her face as she stared out the window. I don't know how to feel about finally getting my daughter back when she insist that she is anything but that, I feel elated and over joyed that my little girl is safe and unharmed at least physically but mentally and emotionally she's been changed, altered and that other part of me is hurt by the fact that Rachel has no recollection of who me or Shelby are.

"Shelbs will you wake up Holly we're almost home and she wanted to be woken up before we got there." I tell Shelby as we pass by the park that was five minutes away from our house. As I drive by the park I notice a little girl on the swing set being pushed by her dad, it reminded me of when I would bring Rachel to the park and do the same thing with her.

"Higher daddy push me higher!" A six year old Rachel shrieked to me as I pushed her on the swings. "Ahhhh! Too high that's too high! Stop I want to get off."

"Alright hold on Rae let me slow it down first." I said as I grabbed hold of the swing and pulled back to slow it down, "there you can get off now." As soon as she got off she ran around the swing set and wrapped her arms around my legs.

"Did you see dad? Did you see my feet touched the tree! They touched it they did! I can't wait to tell Quinn! And then when you pushed me really high I thought I was about to flip over!"

"I did see your feet touch the tree. Now you ready to walk home?" I asked taking her hand and leading her out of the park.

"Awww do we really have to go? I wanted to try the monkey bars; Noah said he knew how to do the monkey bars when he was 5! And I'm already 6 he said should know how to do them with my eyes closed by now."

"We'll come back next weekend ok? It's getting dark and you still need to eat dinner. And besides Noah still had me hold onto him when he did the monkey bars he couldn't do it by himself until he was 7."

"Really?"

"yes really now come on we're almost home. How about I give you a piggyback ride?"

"Yay!" Rachel shouted as I bent down to let her climb on top of my shoulders "Daddy, you're the best you know that right?"

"Hmmm the best really?"

"Yes the bestest daddy in the whole wide world!"

"Alright everyone we're home" I said as I pulled the car into the driveway.

"Here Will let me help you with our bags." Holly said as everyone got off the car.

While Holly and I got the bags Shelby went to unlock the front door and Rachel just stood next Holly. Since there were only four bags, three of which were Rachel's, Holly and I grabbed two each and we made our way to the house with Rachel trailing behind us.

"Why don't you just set the bags down in the living room for now while I warm up our lunch. After we finish eating Will can take the bags up to the guest room and then you and Rachel can rest before Noah and Santana get here." Shelby told Holly as we put the bags down.

"Sounds good to me." I replied.

"Yeah I'm starving! What did you make Shelby?" Holly asked as we all walked towards the kitchen/dining room.

"I made some of my famous chicken parmesan with some salad on the side, Rachel's favorite." Shelby replied as she put the chicken in the oven and I grabbed the salad bowl.

"Would you like a soda or some water Rachel?" I asked looking over to her standing in the kitchen door way "We also have cranberry juice if you'd like that instead. You can go sit down at the table if you want."

"I'm not hungry. Can I just go take a nap? I'm really tired"

"Oh ummm sure you can Rae. I'll set aside some chicken for you and you can have it later when you wake up." Shelby told her as she pulled the breaded chicken out of the oven.

"Don't bother with the saving me any chicken, I'm vegan. Now can someone please show me where I'll be sleeping." Rachel responded through gritted teeth.

"oh! Well I'll just make sure to set aside some salad for you, we also have plenty of fruit or if you'd like I can make you some vegetable stir fry when you wake up." Shelby told her, I wonder when she became vegan I remember she loved animals when she was younger I wonder if that had anything to do with her choice to become vegan.

"Whatever, I don't care I just want to go to sleep."

"Yea ok, follow me Rachel I'll show you where you can lie down." I told her as I started to walk towards the stairs "Do you want to grab some more comfortable clothes from your suitcase before we head up?" I asked.

"No I'm fine. I just want to lie down."

"Alright then let's go upstairs" I say as I start to climb the stairs with her following few steps behind me. "you'll be sharing the guest room with Holly this weekend; during the week we'll clear out your old room and you can redecorate it whatever way you like. And here's your temporary room for now." I tell her as we come up to the first door on the left and I let her in the room. "The bathroom is the first door on the right, the master bedroom is the last door on the left side and your old room is directly across from it. You can check out your room if you'd like we left everything exactly the same so maybe it'll jog some memories."

I start to walk out of the room but at the door way I turn around and tell her "if you need anything at all just call for one of us. And I just want you to know that your mother and I never gave up on you we always knew you'd be with us again someday. We've missed you so much Rachel but you're home safe and sound and that's all that matters right now."

While I had been telling her she had been looking down at her feet but the minute I finished talking she looked up at me with or more like glared but the glare wasn't as threating as it might have been due to her unshed tears, she looked ready to break down at any moment.

"I already told you before my name is Jennifer! And don't bother redecorating that room it'll only be a waste of time and money. My dad is friends with some of the best lawyers in L.A. and he'll come and get me out of this middle of nowhere hick town. And don't expect me to go into that room and to try and jog some memories because there are no memories to jog! This is not my home and I am not your daughter and you are most definitely not my father!" She yells at me as she slams the door in my face. I stand there for a minute letting everything she said soak in and as I turn to walk back down the stairs I hear a muffled "I just want to go home." from behind the door that was just slammed.

I head back down stairs and finish lunch with Shelby and Holly, there was no need to tell them what went on upstairs they had heard everything. Holly assured us that this was our Rachel the fingerprints had matched and the police back in California had run a DNA test and everything was a match. Around five o'clock Puck and Santana arrived. After saying our hellos Puck asked "So where is she?"

"Puck there's something we have to tell you and Santana about her first." I started to say, as they both sat down on the love seat in the living room where everyone was currently talking, they could tell it was something serious from the tone of my voice.

"Is she hurt? Did that son of a b…." one glare from Shelby made puck change his wording slightly he knew how she felt about foul language "Did that son of a jackal hurt her if he did I'm going…."

"Oh no I'm already going to go all Lima Heights on that…." Santana interrupted.

"Guys! Please let your dad finish." Shelby told them before they got completely off topic. After gaining their attention Holly explained how she found Rachel and I went on to explain how she had no memory of her life in Ohio and what had happened in the airport along with what happened upstairs when she went to go lie down.

"She doesn't remember anything?" Puck asked

"How's that possible? She was eight when it happened shouldn't she remember something?" Santana questioned.

No one had an answer for her because we'd all been wondering the same thing, what had that evil man done to my daughter that cause her to loose all her memories of us.

"So she's been up there all afternoon? Maybe I could take her some food? Try and talk with her?" Puck asked.

"Yea sure sweetie there's a tray with some vegetable stir fry and a water on the counter by the stove." Shelby told him as he walked to the kitchen.

"She's staying in the guest room!" I yelled as he walked up the stairs. Not even five minutes later we hear Puck curse as he comes running back down to the living room.

"She's gone she wasn't there!" he exclaims.

"What? Are you sure did you check the other rooms?" Shelby yells at him.

"Yea I checked the window was open the room and there's that huge tree right by the window I think she climbed down the tree and ran."

"Where would she even be going Noah?" Santana asked

"She's trying to go home." I answered

"But this is her home." Holly said.

"Not to her. This place probably feels like a prison, she's been telling us this whole time this is not her home that's it's back in California." Shelby said with tears trickling down her face.

"Well what are we doing standing around here for? She's obviously on foot and she doesn't have any cash on her so she's going try and hitch hike to California." Santana said to the room effectively putting us in motion.

"All right we'll split up Noah you go with Holly in your car and search east." I tell them as they head out the front door. "Santana you take Shelby's car and head west." I tell her as I throw her Shelby's keys. "Shelby you and I will head North and call the Fabray's and see if they'll join us."

"Already on it lets go I can talk to them in the car." She told me as she hit speed the speed dial on her phone. "Judy and Richard said they're going to look South and Quinn's going to drive down the main highway." Shelby told me as I drove down the street.

"We'll find her this time right Will?" Shelby asked

"Yes. We just got her back and we are not going to lose her ever again!" I replied not only reassuring Shelby but my self as well. I hope we find her soon it's starting to get dark I thought to myself. Please be safe I prayed to whoever was listening to me up there.

A/N#2: Thank you again to all who added this to their faves/alerts. And thank you especially to those of you who reviewed :) 2nd what did you guys think of this chapter? Honestly I'm not that happy with it this chapter was really hard to write because I kept wanting to skip to Rachel's POV which we will see in the next chapter! Please just stay with me I know this chapter was not the best but the next one will be better because I find it easier to write from Rachel's POV. So next question who's going to find Rachel first? Who do you guys want to find Rachel? Now I have a question for everyone totally unrelated to this fan fic I'm looking for a book and I don't know the name or author of the book and I don't know any of the characters names but I'll give you guys a summary of what I remember So the setting is this futuristic world where girls are captured to become "baby makers" and just basically used to repopulate the world. And some how one of the main characters is able to escape the facility where they're being kept with the help of one of her best guy friends then I think they're on the run from the government who's trying to take the girl back. But they end up living free I think in like a cabin in the woods. And I know there was something special about the boy's eyes like either they were golden or one was green and the other blue I can't really remember I just know his eyes were very distinguishing. And that's all I got, so does this sound familiar to any one? Please let me know if you know anything and oh I believe this was published around 2002-2003 I might be wrong but that's when I read it. So review please! It really does make my day when you do! :) Any song suggestions? Questions? Let me know! Ummm not too sure when you'll see the next chapter hopefully by next weekend though! Happy New Year! How were everyone's holidays? Did you get what you wanted what was your favorite gift? Mines were Glee season 2 on blu ray and glee karaoke vol 3 and my kindle touch (any book suggestions?).
