A/N: So I was all worried that the premiere was going to make me really mad at Puck, making it difficult to write Noah. And it didn't, yay! But was I the only one who had such issues with Rachel? That seemed way OOC for her, she's not THAT self-centered. Grrr, so I had to go reread a couple of chapters to get back in my "Rachel zone." I'm still worried about it though. Oh and note, kinda crushed me that Puck "got a vasectomy," let's just pretend that didn't happen okay? End of rant, I hope you like this chapter : ) a lot's going to happen pretty quickly.

RPOV:

After we all changed out of our costumes and put back on our dress clothes, we all met in the hallway.

"All right, Matt, Mike, Santana, Britt, Mercedes, Tina and Artie are going to go get everything set up. The rest of us have 'important family things' we have to do first but we will be there as soon as possible." Kurt repeated our plan. We all nodded and murmured agreement before heading into the auditorium to meet our families.

I ran up to Dad and hugged him tightly.

"Your Daddy would have been so proud of you princess." He told me through tears. I smiled and hugged him as Noah and Finn walked up behind me.

"Congratulations boys." He said softly. Noah moved closer to talk to him while Finn pulled me away to go talk to his mom.

"Rachel, your speech was beautiful! And all of the music was perfect. Congratulations!" His mother told me, pulling me into a tight hug.

"Thanks Mrs. Hummel." Kurt suddenly grabbed me from behind, I squealed, startled.

"Sorry!" He said quickly.

"It's okay Kurt, you just startled me. I see someone I've got to go talk to, see you guys in a little bit." I slowly made my way over to where my biological mother stood. I knew that she'd likely been through the camp too.

"Hi Shelby." I said shyly.

"Hey Rachel, You did a wonderful job." I nodded, giving her an inquisitive look. "Going through those horrors have helped me realize how precious life is. I'd like to be part of your life, for real this time, if you'd let me."

"I'd like that." I knelt to look at the small girl hiding behind Shelby's legs. "Hi Beth, I'm your sister Rachel." Beth smiled at me, suddenly moving forward and giving me a tight hug. I looked up at Shelby an unspoken question in my eyes.

"She was luckily at a friend of mine's house. My friend took care of her for me."

"Good." I stood up slowly. "Could I go get them? They would really love to see her."

"Yes, of course. I'd like them to be able to see her." I ran off to find Quinn and Noah quickly, dragging them back to where Shelby stood. Beth had retreated behind her legs again. I bent back down as they awkwardly smiled at Shelby.

"Hey Beth, I want you to meet some very special friends of mine." She peeked out and I heard them both gasp at the sight of their daughter. Quinn knelt to talk to her while Noah helped me back to my feet before doing the same.

I smiled at the similarities between child and parents. Beth had Quinn's blonde hair and pale skin, coupled with Noah's eyes. She was a beautiful mix of the two.

"Are you going to give it up?" Shelby asked me suddenly, gesturing to my baby bump.

"No. I couldn't." I responded, glad that she hadn't asked the big question, of the baby's paternity.

I turned looking toward the back of the auditorium and saw two very familiar faces smiling at me. I tapped Noah's shoulder,

"Come with me, quick." I handed Shelby one of the invitations to my graduation party, scribbling my cell phone number on the back before pulling Noah towards the back.

When we reached them, I let go of Noah's hand and ran to hug my friend.

"Sarah! How are you?"

"I'm wonderful Rach." She held out her hand, on which a diamond ring sparkled.

"OHH! That's so exciting." I hugged her again and then turned to hug Alex too. Noah clapped Alex on the back.

"And how are you?" Sarah asked with a knowing smile towards my stomach.

"I'm good; everything's getting back to normal. My dad, my friends, Finn."

"Ahh yes, can I meet the infamous Finn?" She asked. I nodded, turning to search for my boyfriend, he wasn't hard to spot. I waved him over. He ambled over slowly, looking interestedly at Sarah and Alex.

"Guys this is Finn. Finn this is Sarah and Alex."

"What about me?" Noah asked in a mock-offended tone.

"They all know you, goof." I slapped his head lightly.

"I've heard so much about you Finn; it's great to finally meet you." Sarah said. He looked at me, obviously puzzled. I stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear.

"We met them at the camp."

"Oh"

He smiled back at Sarah and started talking to her animatedly about the graduation. I turned slightly and caught sight of a police officer standing by the door. He looked familiar, wait he was one of the ones in charge of the investigation into the camp. He was looking around as if he was looking for someone. I excused myself from the group quickly, wandering toward him. As I got closer I saw a girl standing next to him. A very familiar girl.

"Hannah Puckerman?" I asked incredulously.

"Rachel!" She cried, throwing herself at me for a hug, obviously glad to see a somewhat familiar face. "Do you know where my brother is?" She asked nervously.

"I sure do. I can go get him right now." She nodded eagerly and when I saw the officer nod, I turned and quickly headed back to where I had left my friends. I found Noah and Alex deeply engrossed in a discussion about the impact of Super Mario Brothers on civilization. I rolled my eyes, some things never change.

"Hey Noah, can you come with me, there's someone who wants to see you." He nodded confused, following me across the room. As we got within her sight range, a voice yelled,

"NOAH!" His sister crashed against him, hugging him tightly. He looked down at her, speechless.

"Hannah?" He said tentatively. "Oh gosh it's good to see you! I thought…" She reached a finger up to his lips to shush him and he hugged her so tight it seemed like he would break her.

The officer walked up.

"You are able to take care of her then?" Noah looked at me.

"Don't you even ask that question! The answer is yes definitely!"

"Yes." He told to officer firmly, clutching Hannah tightly.

The rest of the required 'mingling' passed quickly. I also gave Alex and Sarah an invitation for my graduation party along with my cell phone number.

Soon it was time to head to the glee club "party." We had all decided to meet in the field that we had launched fireworks from on our last Friday night together for a picnic and some more fireworks. Noah looked uncertainly at his sister.

"I'm sure she can come Noah, or my dad would be perfectly willing to take her home with him."

"Seeing as she's half-asleep here, I think I'll choose the second option. I nodded and we found my dad quickly and arranged for him to tale Hannah home. Noah hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek, and then the two of us went to get in Kurt's car with him and Finn to drive to the party.

Finn and I climbed into the backseat and I cuddled close against him as Kurt began blasting the Wicked soundtrack.

The party was just like good old times. Many of the parents had contributed delicious food and as soon as it got dark we launched our fireworks. I sat between Finn's legs, leaning back against him as we watched Noah, Mike and Matt try to not get burned as they lit fireworks.

At some point Noah had of course brought out the alcohol, who knows where he got it. I of course was in the minority that was not drinking; Quinn had also turned down the alcohol. Finn had taken one look around and focused on Kurt who was fully participating in some drinking game and sighed.

"I guess I've just been made designated driver."

"I can drive if you want me too." I offered, secretly hoping he wouldn't take me up on it.

"Nah, I don't want you to have to drive that thing, I don't think you could see over the wheel. You shouldn't be driving anyway."

"I'm pregnant, not incapable." I said rather sharply. He sighed as Quinn gave him a death glare too.

"Fine! But I seriously don't want you having to drive the three of us drunk. If we load up Kurt's car and Quinn's we'll be able to get everyone home, right?"

"Yes." Quinn answered him.

"Ok, the rest of them can get their cars tomorrow." So the three of us sat and watched as the rest got more and more drunk. It really was quite amusing when they started playing truth or dare. Noah ended up singing Katy Perry at the top of his lungs, Kurt had to kiss Mercedes, Mike and Matt did the tango and that was only the beginning. When Santana dared Artie to roll off a ramp and jump over our campfire, Finn, Quinn, and I decided it was definitely time to get everyone home. We pushed and prodded them all toward the cars. Finn and I took Kurt and Noah(obviously) as well as Mercedes who was sleeping over with Kurt, and Artie and Tina, because there was no way that Quinn was going to get Artie out of her car and into his wheelchair. Quinn led Mike, Matt Santana and Brittany to her car.

"Bye Quinn, see you tomorrow!" I called as I hopped into the passenger seat.

"Where are you seeing her tomorrow?" Finn asked, puzzled.

"We're going to the mall. All the girls are."

"Oh."

It was a pretty uneventful drive home if you don't count Kurt and Noah singing 'California Girls' off-key in the backseat. We dumped Tina and Artie at their respective houses, and then turned to head to my house.

When we got there, I hopped out then reached back and grabbed Noah's arm to pull him out of the car. He refused to move and Finn sighed, coming over to yank him out.

"Come on asshole, get your butt out here." He managed to drag him out of the backseat and onto the driveway. Noah stood there swaying slowly and singing under his breath, "daisy dukes, bikinis on top." Finn sighed and turned toward me.

"See you tomorrow night?"

"Of course, Dad invited you for dinner. He's burning pasta."

"I love burnt pasta. It's my favorite."

"Every type of food is your favorite."

"True. I'll see you then. Text me." He leaned down and kissed me slowly. "I love you."

"I love you too. Dream of me." He smiled slowly.

"Always."

A/N: Finchel fluff at the end….I couldn't resist it : )

So what'd you think? I couldn't possibly kill Noah's lil sis. I didn't know her name so I just went with Hannah.

For the record, I was aware when I started this story that Matt was gone this season, I'm protesting it by keeping him firmly in my story. He's JUST AS IMPORTANT as Mike!
