Puck took Quinn to her final doctors appointment before the baby arrived. "So did you tell Rachel you're in love with her yet?" Quinn asked once the appointment was over and Puck sighed. "No I didn't but I want to, it's just that she's still really upset about the whole Jesse thing. Plus what if she doesn't feel the same way? Then things would be awkward between us and I don't want to ruin our friendship." Quinn rolled her eyes and smacked his shoulder. "What the hell Quinn!" Puck winced when she smacked him again. "I can't believe you Puck, since when are you so afraid? I know Rachel would love to have you for a boyfriend so you need to man up and ask her out already!" Puck eyes grew wide and he nodded quickly. "Ok ok chill out."
The next day Puck walked into McKinley with the intention of telling Rachel how he felt. He was going to do it after talking to Quinn, but Mr. Schue wanted them all to meet at his place for pizza which just led to everyone feeling depressed. He put his bag in his locker and went to find Rachel, he turned the corner and saw her on the stairs. She was talking to Finn and Puck couldn't hear what they were saying, but he figured it wasn't good because Rachel looked upset. Puck assumed he was going to have to kick Finn's ass so he moved closer only to be greeted by the sight of Rachel pulling Finn into a kiss. "Oh..." He mumbled catching Rachel's attention and they stared at each other briefly before Puck quickly turned and walked away. Finn turned around to see what Rachel was looking at, but Puck was already gone.
After their regionals performance Rachel wanted to talk to Puck, but Quinn's water broke. Everyone including Finn went with her to the hospital leaving Rachel behind to watch Vocal Adrenaline preform. At the hospital Quinn gave birth to a healthy baby girl after hours of labor. "You sure you want to go through wit the adoption?" Quinn nodded while she held the tiny baby. "I love her so much already Puck...and that's why I have to give her up. I'm only sixteen years old and there's only so much I, or we for that matter can handle. She needs the best possible care, and this is the best thing for her." Puck nodded in agreement and had his time with the baby before the nurses took her to the nursery. Her new parents thanked them for everything, Puck really liked them. They kind of reminded him of Monica and Chandler from friends. After everything was settled Puck hung around the hospital with Quinn, he didn't really want to go back to the auditorium and watch Finn and Rachel hang all over each other.
"Thinking about Rachel?" Quinn asked him without even having to look up from her magazine. Puck pouted and let out a grunt in response, Quinn raised an eyebrow at him. "Pick know you don't want to hurt Finn again but in this situation you're only hurting yourself." Puck hung his head and sighed sadly. "She wouldn't want me anyway, she likes guys like Finn...I'm going to get us some food ok? You gotta be hungry after pushing a living being out of you." He chuckled and walked out before Quinn could say anything.
They lost regionals but thanks to Sue they got to keep the club, over the summer Finn and Rachel started dating officially. Quite often Puck was dragged along on their dates, both Finn and Rachel thought he should get out because he seemed depressed. They didn't realize that making him tag along only mad him agitated and sad. Seeing them together all the time made him feel like he was constantly being punched in the gut. He realized he'd have to get over it or he'd never be happy. A few weeks after school started Puck saw an opportunity to make Finn look bad. Finn and Rachel got into a fight which resulted in Rachel coming to school dress like Britney Spears. "Damn Rachel you look sexy as hell." He smirked and Rachel giggled. "Thanks Noah, Finn doesn't seem to think so..." She frowned and Puck sighed. "It's not that he doesn't think so Rach, he just doesn't like other guys drooling over you." He hated making Finn look good to her but he also hated seeing her upset. "Really? I guess I can understand that..I'll go talk to him." She walked off and Puck stared at her ass the entire time.
After months of dating Rachel finally found out that Finn slept with Santana, because Santana had to be a birch and tell her. It didn't help matters when Finn let Santana flirt with him in the hallway. Puck saw the whole thing and decided he needed to make Rachel feel better. "He should've told you when you told him about Jesse it's ok to be upset." She nodded and cried against his shoulder while they ate ice cream and watched funny girl. "You're a really food friend Noah thanks for this. I just don't know what to do, it's not like he cheated on me but he lied to me..." Puck frowned and rubbed her back. "Do what you feel is best."
Rachel brought it up again in the green room while they waited to preform and Finn yelled at her, Santana had to throw in her two cents too. "No one tells you anything because you're a blabber mouth and we all just pretend to like you!" Puck stood up. "Ok shut the fuck up Santana because I'm sick and tired of your bullshit. Talk to Rachel like that again I fucking dare you!" He glared at her before turning his attention to the rest of the room. "I'm sick and tired of the way you fucking idiots treat Rachel, who the fuck cares if she talks a lot or wants a lot of solos! That's who she is you stupid idiots, she works hard at what she does and all you idiots do is complain. And Finn stop wining like a little bitch, fact is when Rachel told you she didn't really sleep with Jesse you should've told her about Santana end of story. Be a fucking man and stop acting like a baby, she's not upset because you're not a virgin! She's upset because you slept with the girl that's been treating her like crap since freshman year, and you never defend her when she does. She's upset because you're a damn liar as well!" Everyone just stared in shock except Lauren Zizes who watched in amazement as if it were a movie. Rachel was in awe of Puck, she had this look in her eye like she wanted to rip off his clothes and take him right there. Quinn was trying not to laugh while Puck told Finn and Santana off, it was amazing.
As soon as their performance was over Finn apologized to Rachel. "Thank you Finn but after everything I need time to think." Finn was confused. "But Rachel.." She sighed and walked away not really knowing what to do, but breaking up with him is the thought that kept crossing her mind. Puck felt awesome after getting all that off his chest, he walked to his truck and got in. He looked to his right and nearly screamed in surprise when he saw Rachel sitting there. "Whoa Rach hey, what are you doing here?" She giggled. "You need to learn to lock your doors Noah...you know I really wanted to thank you for earlier." He smiled and shrugged. "It needed to be said Rach." She nodded and looked at him with pure adoration in her eyes. "You know...my dad's aren't home..they'll be gone all weekend.."
