Chapter 3.
Artie groaned which caused Rachel groaned, and causing a chain reaction. They all spent the night at Artie's house, after they took him to get tatted. Rachel sat up from the couch and rubbed her neck.
"What time is it?" Artie grunted out half asleep.
Rachel looked at her phone and did a double take, making her fall off the couch and on top of Puck.
"Holy shit." Puck yelled out. Rachel groaned and whined.
"Fuck, Rachel what happened?" Puck groaned out.
"It's Saturday, I woke up late for dance classes." Rachel whined. She looked up and Matt was still fast asleep and Mike was the same on the floor. Artie fell back to sleep and she looked at Puckerman half asleep grinning. She wiggled a little trying to get up and he let out a small growl.
"Rach, stop wiggling." Puck said, as he gripped her waist hard. Rachel let out a giggle and wiggled once more making Puckerman grounded on her, Rachel let out a small moan.
Puck flipped them over and Rachel looked up at him. If she were honest with herself, she liked where it's heading. "Hi." she whispered.
Puck smirked and kissed her forehead before giving her one final thrust up and Rachel moaned out loud. That made Matt wake up and he smirked. "Sharing is caring Puckerman." he joked. Puck flipped him off and got up.
Rachel got up and make her way to the kitchen, while Puck left to the restroom.
"So Rach, you got something to tell us?" Puck asked as he and Matt walked into Artie's kitchen referring to yesterday's conversation.
"I don't know much. I was looking over some things yesterday and I hacked into Brian's work place, and I found something interesting. Braga doesn't show much his info. It could be possible that it can be another man." Rachel asked them.
Matt nodded. "I see where you're getting. Possibly?" he asked.
Rachel nodded. Before they can say anything Artie came rolling in. "Dude the tattoo feels sore." he whined.
Rachel laughed and left to get her things, and when she got back she applied the ointment on Artie's arms, Mike stumbled in and turned his back on her and whined about it being a little scratchy. Rachel smiled and he applied the ointment on him too. Mike said something about shower and Artie told him there was a guest bathroom, he left wheeling to his room claiming he was going to shower to.
Matt, Puck, and Rachel were left alone. "So are we going to figure out about the whole Braga stuff?" Rachel asked.
Puck shook his head and Matt just shrugged. "I don't know Berry." he said.
Before anything can be said, Rachel's phone rang. She rushed to pick it up. "Mia"
"Carolina, how are you? How's Artie taking everything?"Mia asked.
Rachel smiled, she turned and saw Artie wheeling in, and Mike sitting already. "He's taking it good, went to take him to get his first tattoos last night ." she teased.
The guys laughed and Mia just snorted. "You're already corrupting him. Anyways, I'm just calling to check up on things."
"Heard anything yet?" Rachel asked her sister, a little worried.
She heard Mia sigh and say no. Rachel closed her eyes and just nodded. They both hung up and Rachel faced the guys.
"Nothing yet?" Matt asked. Rachel shook her head. Matt just nodded and took off to shower, Puck walked up to her and kissed her forehead saying everything was going to be okay.
Rachel just smiled sadly at him, and nodded. Puck leaned in a gave her a peck on the lips and left to go shower. She turned to the Matt and Artie and sighed.
"I'll make breakfast." She said.
Artie just sat there and was falling back to sleep, they spend the day at Artie's house just goofing off and them just playing COD, while Rachel watched. After the morning spent wasted in video games and Rachel sitting in between Puck's legs.
They all decided to take a trip down to Columbus and shopped there, they bought small things to add to their rooms, and they helped Artie choose stuff so he can add to his room in Rachel's place, when it was finally time to head home it was already getting dark out.
"So are you very good at street racing?" Artie asked as Rachel sat on his lap, tired of all the walking.
Rachel nodded and beamed. "Yes, my older brother taught me."
Artie just laughed and nodded, they all went inside and Puck ordered them food. They all sat down to relax when the phone began to ring.
"Mia?" Rachel answered. She set her phone on the counter and put it on speaker.
"Hey Carolina, just calling to check up on you again."Mia's voice said.
"Mia it's a Saturday." Rachel snorted. Before Mia can say anything she heard a guy laughing and a cell phone ringing. "What's going on? Who's that? That sounds like Brian's laugh." she said.
"I'm with-"was all Mia got out before Rachel heard punches being thrown and her brother screaming she gasped.
"What's going on? Dom STOP!" Rachel yelled out hoping Mia put her on speaker phone. Mia was yelling out for Dom to stop to and Rachel stood up to pace. "Noah give me your phone, I'm booking flights to L.A" she told him as Puckerman threw her phone at her, before she can type out the numbers on the phone she heard Brian's voice say something that made her freeze.
"She did it for you Dom! Letty just wanted you to come home! I'm sorry man! I'm sorry!"Brian yelled.
Rachel dropped the phone, and placed the puzzles. Letty went to Brian and worked for him but things went south. Rachel's eyes watered and the guys just stared at the phone taking in the news. The phone was silent and they can hear footsteps leave and Mia yelling for Dom before the line went dead.
Puck looked up to where Rachel was, with her back to the them and the phone on floor. He stood up and the guys stared at her worriedly. "Rach?" he called out but nothing. "Carolina?" he tried again but nothing. He walked to face her and he saw the tears running down her face.
"She worked for Brian so she can clear Dom's name so he can come home." Rachel whispered. "But instead she got murdered." she whimpered. And just like that she broke down crying muttering the words of just wanting Dom to come back home.
Puck held and Matt and Mike just sat there in pained looks while Artie looked a little confused but looked concerned for Rachel. They all sat there wishing they can do something but decided it was best for Rachel to let it all out. They all sat there watching her as she cried herself to sleep. Puck picked her up and went to go take her to her room and came back down.
"That was hard to watch." Mike admitted. Puck nodded and Matt just sat there silenced.
"Who's Brian?" Artie asked.
Puck answered. "Rachel said they met five years ago, he was working as an undercover cop, he fell in love with Mia, Rachel's sister, one day he got discovered, everything went to hell, apparently he's back as cop downtown L.A. Rachel said that Letty probably went to him to work so she can clear Dom's name to come back home since he was out of the states, I believe he was in the Dominican Republic. The same drivers that they are working for are the same ones that killed Letty" he explained.
Artie just nodded. "Let's head to bed, tomorrow we can figure out how to cheer up Rachel, after that call and some revelations it's bound to affect her." he said Puck just nodded and helped him into his room that Rachel had already separated. He said goodnight to him and the wonder twins and sneaked into Rachel's room.
Puck silently closed the door and he took his clothes off and got in bed with Rachel. She turned to face him and snuggled closer him, relaxing now. He sighed and joined her into slumber.
"Mommy! Daddy! Time to wake up!" Mike yelled excitedly. He was bouncing on bed making sure he didn't he step on them, Artie just laughed at the over excited teen, while Matt just rolled his eyes at his best friend.
"Dude get the hell off man!" Puck growled. Rachel whined and growled at Mike. Mike didn't listen and was tackled down by Rachel.
"Oomf, oh my God." Mike whined. The guys laughed at Mike as Rachel sat on his back. "Rach, you're being mean."
Rachel just sat on his back and laughed. "What was that Mike? I couldn't hear you." Rachel joked. Mike whined and just went limp, Rachel giggled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you Mike, I needed that."
Rachel stood up and walked into her bathroom, to take a morning shower.
"Alright you guys go downstairs and get breakfast ready, I'm go shower." Puck grunted out. The guys just smiled at him and left. Puck walked to Rachel's door and thanked his lucky stars that it was open. He went inside and shed off his boxers and joined Rachel in the shower.
"You alright Rach?" Puck asked. Rachel turned to him and sighed. She shook her head no.
"This is new information, I should've picked that up before." She told him. Puck just grabbed chin and turned it up so she can face him. Although he got a little hard when Rachel peaked at his junk. She looked up at him and Puck sighed. He wrapped hims arms around her waist and pulled her close.
"It's okay baby, you had a lot in your mind." He told her. Rachel smiled and leaned it.
"You know we never went to that date you told me about." Rachel told him. Puck smirked.
"As long as I'm with you wherever we go, I'm good." He told her. He leaned in and before he can kiss her he whispered out the question he's had on his mind. "Be my girlfriend?"
Rachel looked at him and kissed him. Puck smirked and took that as a yes. He pulled away and started scrub her down. She giggled and she did the same back. Puck was about to put shampoo to her head, when Mike interrupted
"If you guys don't get out of there, you're gong to become teen parents and Rachel, Dom won't be happy, and is going to go after your boyfriend and leave you as a single mother." Mike's voice said.
Puck groan and they heard Dom's laugh. Rachel gasped and opened the door not caring if Mike saw her in the nude. He choked on his cookie when he noticed her naked and she took away the phone.
"Dom?" Rachel asked excitedly. Mike choked even more, when he saw Puck naked.
"My eyes! My poor innocent eyes!" Mike wailed.
"Are you naked with a guy? Carolina you're lucky I love you." was all Dom said.
Rachel giggled and put on her robe and threw a towel to Puck and helped Mike to breathe again. "No Dom, Mike is being over dramatic. Geez and they say I'm the drama queen."
Dom laughed, Rachel heard him go serious. "Carolina. I know you heard what went down between Brian and I just wanted to make sure you're okay."
Rachel sighed and sat down on the toilet. "It's hard, I didn't know why I didn't pick up on that."
"Hey don't be so hard on yourself." Puck said. Rachel looked at him and smiled.
"Carolina, I'm go finish the job. We barley made it out last night, and we need to get these guys once and for all." Dom told her.
Rachel began to sniff. "You promise me Dominic that I'm see you safe. I don't want to loose you." she told him seriously. She heard her brother sigh, and promised her.
"I got to get going." Dom told her.
Rachel eyes watered. "Come back to us safely. Brian too." she begged. Dom promised once more and hung up. Rachel just took a deep breathe in. "Well, now it's not the time to get all emotional, so Mike, sorry about our birthday suits deal, but can you leave, we were actually showering. In fact Noah was about to shampoo my hair."
Mike just snorted and rolled his eyes, Puck just smirked and dropped his towel and caused Mike to choke again. "Geez Chang, if you want a piece of the Puckerone just ask." he teased.
Mike just choked even harder and Rachel glared at him "Noah!" she patted Mike's back and made sure he was okay. "We'll be down in a few minutes, just let us finish showering."
Mike nodded and left, munching on his cookie, muttering about getting lucky to see Rachel naked, Rachel just laughed. The pair finished off their showering and Rachel put on short shorts, and a tight tank top. The couple joined the rest while Rachel made plans to fly to L.A.
"What's going on in your head Rach?" Artie asked her. She smiled at him.
"Plans, I'm taking you to L.A. I need to head to L.A, I have this feeling that we do. " Rachel said.
"What about school?" Mike asked.
"Well shit." Rachel muttered. The guys laughed.
"Family emergency?" Artie told her.
"Fuck it man, we're almost going to summer vacation in about a week. I say we pack all our shit, miss Monday and come back finish, before we go and spend the summer at Rachel's place." Puck said.
They all nodded and Puck went to go drop off everyone to pack their clothes, while Rachel worked on getting their flight tickets
Rachel had gotten the tickets and left to go pack her stuff, knowing that she'd had to be back soon. She carried all her stuff and opened her garage so the guys can park in there, she called the cabs and told them she needed a van for a handicap friend.
Rachel went around cooking up food when she heard the guys come in
"Cars parked in the garaged, it safe and well locked. At what time we leaving?" Puck asked.
"Soon, eat so we can just wait for the cab." Rachel told them.
They all sat by the table and started to eat. They talked about regionals and how they didn't make it but Sylvester gave them all another year.
"Cab is here Rach." Matt said as they heard the honking.
"No way, I didn't hear" Rachel answered sarcastically. Everyone laughed and grabbed their stuff and headed out.
The flight to LA was boring, hey all either slept threw it all or argued about song choices. Finally when they landed, they stretched a bit.
They made their way out, and Rachel called in for a rental car. They waited until they got the rental car, and Rachel drove all the way to her house.
"Hey Rachel?" Artie called out.
"Yeah?"
"Do they call you Rachel or Carolina?" Artie asked.
"Carolina, they can't get used to Rachel. But it's okay, because I like that you guys can call me Rachel." she explained.
The rest of the car drive involved them singing Journey and Queen's songs. They stopped to be quiet when Artie got a call from Tina.
"Tina! Hey." Artie answered nervously. "I know, I forgot. I'm sorry, something came up and I had to leave town. Family emergency in Florida."
Rachel sighed in relieve. Artie hung up rather quickly and sighed. "Sorry Artie, it must be hard to lie to your girlfriend." she told him.
Artie just shrugged. "It's alright, lately, she's been giving Finn puppy eyes, it's making me really uncomfortable. So if she breaks up with me, it's all good."
"Damn dude, that's cold. Finn told Rachel he loved her in regionals. But babe just flipped him off." Puck answered.
Rachel laughed. "It's alright Artie, I have old friends I can hook you up with." she told him.
"Hey and what about us" Mike whined.
Rachel looked at him from the rear window and winked at Mike, she motioned for him to look at Matt and he blushed. "I can try" she said smugly.
Rachel finally drove up to the house and Mia was out in the garage.
"Carolina?" Mia yelled out.
"Mia!" Squealed. The sisters ran to each other and hugged. Mike and Matt helped Artie out, while Puck set up the wheelchair for him.
"How are you? Matt, Mike and Puck it's so good to see you." Mia squealed. "That must be Artie."
Artie smiled shyly and waved. "Yes, that's Artie and we're going to be here for the summer." Rachel responded.
Mia smiled and motioned for them to come to the house. Puck smirked and wrapped his arm around her waist. Mia noticed and smirked at Puckerman.
"I so can't wait to see Dom go all papa bear, about you dating Caro." Mia told Puck.
"Now that's something I'd like to see." Matt said as Mike nodded. Puck just laughed nervously and scratched his shaved head. Artie just bursted out laughing.
"We're leaving Monday, we have to go back to school on Tuesday and enjoy the last few days of school and then come back by Friday or Saturday, depending on the plane flights." Rachel explained.
Mia smiled and they all walked in the house. Artie just looked around, and he feel the big difference between the house in Lima and her home in L.A.
"Feels like home." Artie said to no one.
Mia smiled, and Matt nodded. "Yeah, we know the feeling bud." he told him.
They all went to put their stuff in their rooms. And later all of them just went out to enjoy the day, it was late Friday night when she got a call from Kurt, demanding where she was. She just told him that she had a family emergency to attend and hung up.
By the time they arrived home it was dark out, Rachel and Mia were in the kitchen cooking up food while the guys sat around the table talking about school and glee. Once they all sat down, Mia said it was time to say grace. Rachel smiled and said grace after a long time.
