A/N: So here we are Chapter 8. Enjoy.

Chapter 8

"Thank you so much daddy...Debbie. I know the twins will be very safe with you both tonight Rachel thanked her mother in law and father gratefully.

Debbie smiled and squeezed Rachel's hand "It's a pleasure dear...I love spending time with my grand babies as know your father does too...so no thanks are needed my sweetheart"

Rachel's father nodded happily in agreement "you enjoy yourself tonight darling. We have every here under control" he promised his daughter.

"I'm a little nervous actually" Rachel murmured into her tea cup.

Gazing over at her twins asleep in their shared push chair she let out a sigh.

"I'm not very good at making grand gestures. Normally I'm the on receiving them" she chuckled very nervously.

The oldest women sat around the table wrapped her arm around Rachel's shoulder "Oh my dear dear child. It completely normal to feel nervous. But you mark my words sweetheart. My Noah loves you so much and he love his daughters. No matter your surprise maybe he will love it"

Rachel blushed and sipped more coffee from her cup " than you Debbie that means a lot" she smiled.

Putting the cup down " daddy I know you've been stay here with Debbie while you have the house down..but I was wondering could I borrow your keys...there's something I need to pick up from my room"

"of course honey" Michael answered as he pulled his keys from his pocket "here you go..you can return when you pick up the girls tommorow"

"Thank you daddy" Rachel smiled taking keys from him and popping them into her bag. Getting her feet she hugged her mother then father in low guide bye before kissing her daughters cheeks.

Michael and Debbie watched her drive of with matching smiles . Knowing that after this evening their children would find an even stronger closeness.

…...

Her room was just like she remember a sea of yellow walls and white furniture. Running her fingers across her old white dressing table Rachel smiled into the mirror and picked up the brush on it.

"what a girl wants...what a girls needs..." she sang.

Stopping as quick as she started she let her eyes fall onto the bed through the mirror and she remember the moment she and Noah once shared in there.

Flashback

Puck suddenly stopped strumming on his guitar . His nose a little scrunched up. "um can we take a break...my ears are hurting"

Rachel walked over to him with small smile "OK "she replied

She saw the nervous look wash over Puck's face as he rubbed his neck and looked away. Turning back Noah found her gazing at him and decided it was now or never.

"Wanna make out" he with a nervous edge

he watched as Rachel's face broke out into a huge grin "Sure"

and that was how they shared their first of many kisses.

End of Flashback

Coming back to the present Rachel moved over to her wardrobe. Pulling it open she spotted exactly what she was looking for. The black skirt Noah had pegged as his favourite when they had dated for that brief period in hight school.

Smiling she slipped it from her hanger and folded into neatly into he bag she had brought with her. Her goal in mind was to share a moment with the man she loved in place that should shared them a long time ago she wanted to make up for the past...for being blind to what had been in front of her when she saw was so busy looking far into the distance at Finn.

…...

"Just put the damn thing on white boy" Mercedes sighed as she held out the black eyeless mask for him to put on.

"the fuck for?" Puck asked running a hand over his shaved head.

Mercedes held the mask further out to him "because Rachel wants where your meeting her to be a surprise.

At the mentioned of his wife's name Puck's face softened and Mercedes and Santana shared a knowing look.

Puck took the mask and put on simply saying "Happy now"

Santana grind along with Mercedes " yeah now get you ass in the car Puckerman" she joked.

Her and Mercedes helped into the on account that he couldn't because of the mask. Both of them feeling nervous and excited for Rachel.

…...

Lighting the last candle Rachel stood up and straightened her black skirt that she had pair with a purple ruffled strappy top and black stiletto heels.

She was still feel nervous but she couldn't wait to see Noah's face. Wrapping her fingers around the silver Noah chain around her neck she chuckled when she heard the apple her eyes voice in the echo out the room she was waiting for him in.

"how far we gotta go now" he asked his two friends as they guided along the corridor into the room Rachel was in. As he walked in Rachel's mind flew back to the day he chose her and Glee over football.

Flashback

The clock was nearing 3 and so far only Mike and Matt had turned up. Rachel along with everyone Finn would show up. A Part hoped that Puck would though she didn't quite believe what he said in the bathroom.

Just as the clock struck the boy with the silly but rather sexy Mohawk walked in to the Choir room hands buried in his pockets.

Not be able to hold in her smile Rachel ran over to meet him half way

" are you sure" she began as she studied his face "you'll be sluhied every day"

Puck just smiled and pulled his hands from his Pockets "Bring it" he grinned pulling her into a hug.

End of Flashback

"Your here now white bread" Mercedes joked. Her Santana hurried out the room shooting

winks and thumbs up quietly at Rachel.

The room was quiet ...to quiet for him.

"hello...anyone there?" he called out.

The sound of heels clicking on the floor drew his attention and his head flew up . A reached up and cupped his cheeky softly in the lightest touch. He recognised that touch.

"Rachel...baby" he rasped a little nervously

Rachel smiled at the way he he'd recognised her just by her touch and gentle brushed her lips over his in a soft feather light kiss.

"Yes Noah...It's me" she whispered into his ear

Reaching up she slowly slide the mark up from his face and over his head letting her fall to floor by her feet.

Noah had to adjust to light of the room at first. Every was blurry. Then Rachel's beautiful face finally came into his now clear vision.

"Hi" he smiled at her as he pressed a little chased kiss to her lips and stroked his fingers through her long wavy brown hair.

"Hi" Rachel smiled back falling into his touch.

The Jewish boy clicked and realised were he was looking up he recognised the choir room they spend so much of their school days. Only right now the room was light with just candles up the steps that let to the seats over piano top ...rose petal were also sprawled across the floor and a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket with to glasses sat in the middle of the Piano.

Looking back down at his wife Puck while pulling lightly on her dark brown hair he smiled at her

"all this is for me?" he asked her softly his voice a little raspy.

Rachel nodded her head and cupped his face in both her hands "I love you with all my heart Noah and wanted to do something to show just deeply my love for you is and-"

Puck cut her off with his finger but Rachel pulled it away gently "No Noah I need to say this. There was a time when I told you needed to prove you were worthy of being my leading man by singing a solo...well I got thinking about that and I realised how wrong I was to say. Because Noah" she let before taking a short breath

"you were always worthy of me I just didn't know it . Then I realised every moment we've shared here in choir room was either you singing to me or us singing together. I was always sang to Finn when the boy I should sang every love song for was you. It was always you"

Gentle she pushed him down in the piano seat and sat next to him"so this song is for you Noah"

Noah watched with a look of awe love and devotion as her fingers gently move over keys allowing her voice to cut through the air.

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

Puck couldn't take his eyes of her she beautiful... just so radiant when she sang...put her whole heart into.

She smiled up at him as she sang and he couldn't help but smile back and stroked her cheek with his thumb.

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

The Broadway star let go as the music washed over her and she felt every motion in the song. Noah had done and still does all those things she singing to him. She needed him to know how much he meant to her and that of it wasn't for her love and protection she wouldn't be the women she is today.

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

As the last note flowed from her mouth Noah tugged his wife's lips to his in a long deep heated passionate kiss. He could believe how much he loved this women she was his life his day and night his whole world.

"I'll always be all those to you ...always" he told her in powerful strong tone full of love.

Rachel nuzzled his nose with her own "I know my love" she whispered

Looking up into his eyes she quoted her most favourite line from the one song that meant a lot to both of them

"Where it began I can't begin to Know when...but then I know It's going strong"

Puck grinned and pulled her back into another kiss. The Champagne long forgotten

He told himself in that moment that they'd be forever going strong
