Chapter Two
I arrived at the play group about ten minutes before it ended. I walked into the hallway, only a couple of parents were here at this point. "Are you waiting for your sister," said a lady next to me.
"No my daughter," I said.
"But you aren't out of school yet," she said.
"No but I am engaged and fully committed to being a parent," I said. I still got hurt when people criticised us.
"Don't worry about her Linda, she always was rude to her elders," said a voice I hadn't heard for three years.
"Deborah," I said. "How are you,"
"It's Mrs Puckerman," she said. "You don't get to call me Deborah, what are you doing here,"
"I'm picking up Darcy, you know your granddaughter," I said.
"So you kept the thing," she said.
"That thing is your granddaughter whether you like it or not," I said. "Anyway why are you here,"
"I'm picking up my step daughter," she said. "Puck's dad and me decided to give it another go,"
"Mommy," said a voice, Darcy came running at me tears running from her eyes her knees were in a right state.
"Did you fall over sweetie," I said hugging her close.
"A girl pushed me over in the mud," she said. "She called me a freak,"
"Oh sweetie it's okay," I said.
"Hi Rachel," said Helen. "I need to speak to you,"
"Helen," I said. "I need to get back to school for glee,"
"Is that more important than your daughter," she said.
"No," I said. "Of course not," I followed Helen into her office and sat down.
"I observed today that Darcy swore quite a few times," she said. "She was also abusive towards the girl who pushed her into the mud,"
"Darcy is not abusive," I said. "The child must have said something to her, she'll never just lash out,"
"She called me a bad word," said Darcy.
"What did she call you," I said.
"It starts with B," she said.
"Is this true Darcy," said Helen she spoke as if speaking to an adult. Darcy nodded, "Well I will have words with the child's parents, just a moment, Mr and Mrs Puckerman can you come inside please,"
My heart sank, of course it had to be them. "This is Rachel Berry," said Helen.
"They know that Helen, they are Darcy's grandparents," I said. "Look, I really have to go, Noah will be wondering where I am,"
"That's fine Rachel, I'll sort this out for you," she said. I walked out of the room and sighed in frustration.
"Are we going to glee," said Darcy.
"Of course," I said.
"Yey," she said. "I haven't seen everyone for ages,"
We drove carefully back to school and I walked with her through the hallways to the choir room. I had bought a bag of wipes to school and got them out of my locker.
"Hello everyone," said Darcy, as we came in. They all smiled upon seeing her.
"Sorry I'm late," I said, but as it turned out Will wasn't here yet. "There was a bit of drama at playgroup," I sat down next to Noah and he whispered...
"What's wrong," said Noah.
"Darcy got pushed over," I said.
"Don't tell me, it has something to do with my ma," he said.
"How did you know," I said.
"I saw her, my sister and my dad in the supermarket the other day," said Noah. "Who is the kid they have,"
"I heard your mom say that she was her step daughter," I said. "Helen, that's the new leader, was going to speak with them just as I left, Darcy come over here sweetie, I'm going to clean your knees," Darcy walked over and sat down, and I wiped the mud off her knees. There were a few grazes, but they didn't need plasters or anything.
I kissed each of them and then sat her on my lap as Will came in, with some other adults, they looked scared. "Hey guys welcome back," he said.
"Hello Will," said Darcy, she ran over and gave him a hug.
"Hey Darcy," said Will.
"I'm presuming this is not one of your students," said the lady.
"No but she's part of this family," said Will.
"So who are these people Mr Schue," said Brit. "The lady looks constipated," we all snickered.
"They are the new school governors," said Will, also looking amused, "They are here to see our extra-curricular activities, they've never heard of a glee club,"
"Are they from the Dark Ages," said Darcy. I began giggling as Noah chuckled.
"What are you two laughing at," said Quinn.
"Darcy was wondering if they were from the Dark Ages," I whispered.
"Okay," said Will. "Why don't we show them what we're all about, you are in for a real treat,"
"So what is a glee club," said the man.
"It's a show choir," Will said. "And we are the best in the country,"
"Who says," said the lady, god she was really bitchy.
"Well we won the National competition," said Will.
"I want to hear mommy and daddy and everyone sing," said Darcy.
"Okay," I said. "Let us choose a song," We decided on Darcy's favourite song from the summer, Empire State of Mind,
Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes
Noise was always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broadway
(Imagine the one in the first episode of season 2 sorry I didn't get the rapping bit in)
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York!
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These street will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York!
One hand in the air for the big city,
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Now you're in New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These street will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York!
Darcy surprised us as when Mike, Matt, San and Brit began to dance, she joined in and she was really good. "Wow," said Will.
"That was really good," said the man.
"It was okay I suppose," said the lady.
"You were awesome Darcy," said San, "Where did you learn that,"
"Mike, Matt and Daddy showed me over the summer," she said, "When I hung out with them,"
"Really," I said.
"Oh yeah," said Noah, "When you went out with the girls we hung out with the guys,"
"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself Darcy," I said. It was then that my phone rang, I got up and answered it.
"Rachel, it's Helen from playgroup," said the person as I picked up.
"Is there a problem," I said.
"Well," she said. "I'm really sorry to have to do this to you, but Darcy can't come here anymore,"
"Excuse me," I said suddenly angry.
"We have had complaints about her from a number of people," she said. "I've tried to be reasonable but I can't do anything more, I'll need you to come and fill out some forms in the morning, I'm sorry again," she hung up.
"What's going on Rach," said Noah.
"Darcy's been kicked out of playgroup," I said.
"What," everyone other than the governors said.
"Apparently people have been complaining about her, but what are we going to do now, who's going to look after her," I said.
"Don't you have parents," said the lady governor. "I mean isn't that what most teenage parents do,"
"Rachel and Noah are the best parents in the world," said Will. "They are not like that at all, now if you don't mind I'd like you to leave, you've made it clear how you feel about us,"
"I don't think Principal Figgins would like the way you've just spoken to me," she said.
"Principal Figgins thinks you are the one being rude," said the man himself. "Hello Students,"
"Hello sir," we all said.
"Governors come with me," he said. "I want to speak with you about how not to speak to my staff and students,"
As soon as they left we all laughed, we could always count on him. "So what are you going to do about Darcy," said Will.
"I don't know, I guess I'll have to ask Mr Figgins if she can come here for the next few days until we can get her in another playgroup," I said.
"I don't mind anyway mommy," said Darcy. "That Helen lady was a bitch,"
"Well said Darcy," said Noah. "Anyway Will what was this big news that you wanted to announce,"
"I'm engaged," said Will.
"What!" we all said.
"Congratulations," I said. "I can't believe she never told me,"
"I also have some other news," said Emma walking in. She was hugged by the girls. "I have just heard about your predicament, Rachel, and well the school are building a crèche on site, for people who are studying childcare,"
"Darcy could go there," I said. "Oh my gosh that would be so cool,"
"Yeah it would, we could stay in bed later too," said Noah smirking.
"Hmmm," I said. "This seems like a win, win situation,"
"You mean you're still sleeping together," said Kurt.
"Well we sleep in the same bed every night," I said.
"You know what I mean," he said.
"Yes we are," I said. "Pregnancy can do that to you,"
"Speaking of which, how are you on that side of things," said Santana.
"I'm good," I said. "There is the hints of a bump now, and my morning sickness is almost coming to a stop, although certain smells still set me off,"
"Like egg," said Quinn.
"Yes like egg," I said. "I really can't wait,"
"When's the baby due," said Tina.
"March 10th," I said. "We have our first ultrasound tomorrow,"
"I thought you'd had one," said Brit.
"That was a scan to double check everything sounded normal, we get to actually see the baby tomorrow," I said.
"Bring some pictures," said Kurt.
"I will do," I said. "Well we have to go, it's almost time for..."
"Dinner," said Darcy. "What are we having tonight,"
"Well I thought, Chile Con Carne for me and daddy, and you could have chicken and mash," I said. "Would you like that,"
"I love chicken," she said.
"Okay, well we'll see you tomorrow," I said. "Bye everyone,"
"Bye," they all said.
We spoke with Mr Figgins, before we left and he agreed that Darcy could come to school tomorrow Thursday and Friday, the new crèche was opening on Monday. Things were starting to look a little bit brighter now, I was happy we were seeing our baby tomorrow, I couldn't wait.
