She decided it was time to tell him. She had her plan which had taken her five days to plan and 1 day to set in motion. All through the school day she had watched him flirt with Cheerios. Did it hurt watching this? No and that surprised her.
Seeing Quinn and Finn no longer hurt and she was starting to wonder why. She shook her and went to her last class. She pushed her way through the crowd to the parking lot. the plan was for her to go home and get ready for work and then head to Puck's house.
She drove home with no music and biting her lip. She was worried how he would react but she had already made her decision so really it didn't matter. She parked. As she headed up the steps to her room she noticed that her fathers weren't home.
She changed in tight black Dickie pants and the red Sonic work shirt. She kept taking deep breaths and blowing them out; it was from the stress. She pulled her hair back and put on the visor. She looked in the mirror cocking her head to the side. "You can do this Rachel."
She nodded and headed out to her car after locking up. She drove over to the Puckerman's and suddenly the butterflies in her stomach disappeared. She got out of her car feeling brave and strong. She walked up the path.
She knocked on the green door. She heard 'I got it' from behind the door. The door open and there stood Adina. "Rachel. Hi. Are you here to babysit me?" Adina was smiling and looking hopeful.
"Not tonight. Is Puck here?" She watched as Adina's face fell.
Adina sighed. "Yeah. "PUCK. SOMEONE'S HERE TO SEE YOU." Adina looked her up and down. "Are you going to work?"
"Yeah. If your brother don't hurry up I'm going to be late." Rachel looked down at her phone frowning.
"Who's here? Oh hey Berry. If this about glee you can leave now." He moved Adina away from the door so he could lean against it. Rachel made a face at the fact he was only in his jeans which were hanging open.
"No this isn't about Glee. I need to talk to you about something else." She was frowning and not looking happy about him smirking at her.
"Oh yeah?" His eyes raked over her body. "Come on." Rachel rolled her eyes as he followed him closing the door behind her.
"Do I have to watch out for mom?" Adina asked.
"What? No. This won't take long and I have to go to work." Rachel said as she head down the hall behind Puck. He opened a door and walked in. She almost gagged at the smell of weed.
He laughed as he sat on the bed. "S'wrong Berry? Can't take it?" She rolled her eyes and didn't answer him as she closed his door.
"Look I wouldn't be here if it was important and the only way I figure I can get through this, is by just saying it." She took a deep breath which was the wrong thing to do because her head started spinning. "Here it goes. I'm pregnant. It's yours and I'm late for work."
He sat blinking at her on the edge of his bed. She stomped her foot and left his room. Adina must have heard her coming, "Hey Rachel do you want a cookie?"
"Sure. I'll see you later 'dina." She waved at Adina and saw Puck standing at the entrace to the hall staring at her. "Bye Puck."

"Rachel order up." Brody the cook said.
"Thanks." She headed out to the car that had put in the order. "Hi. I have an extra long Coney with large tatertots and a grape Slushie."
"How much?" Her head whipped at the voice.
"What are you doing here? Whose car did you steal?" He had the nerve to laugh at her.
"Look Berry. I didn't steal anyone's car this is Chang's he let me borrow it and I'm here cuz this girl told me she was having my baby but didn't even let me have ask questions or say when did it happen?" She was starting to feel bad.
"Puck. Look I know but I had to get to work." She was making excuses.
"You couldn't tell me on a day you didn't have to work? How far along are you anyway?" He was looking at her stomach.
"Three months. Can we do this later?" She asked through clenched teeth.
"What does later mean to you?" He asked with a look of suspicion on his face.
"After I get off work which is like in two hours." She tried to look like someone you should trust.
"Fine. I'll be here."

She got off an hour early because she really didn't want to hear what Noah Puckerman had to say about her being pregnant. She drove home on autopilot. She got out looking for her house keys so when a voice came out of nowhere she jumped and screamed.
"That's not a nice thing to do Berry. Good thing I'm not as dumb as I look." She turned holding her hand to her chest to watch Puck saunter up to her plucking her keys from her hand before walking to her door.
She sighed and followed him with her shoulders slouched and her head thrown back, dragging her feet. Until she made a decision she was a woman about to have a child she could handle this like an adult. She stood up straight and brushed past the boy holding open the door.
"Don't get all pissy with me. Shit. I know I'm an asshole and you probably think you know what I'm going to say but give a chance to say it before you make a decision. Unless you've already have. Have you?" He had been pacing in front of her as she stood in the doorway to the kitchen but now he was standing still and looking at her.
"Yes I've already made a decision." She pulled off her visor and headed into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and started looking for the fixings for a sandwich.
"And? What was it Rachel?" It sounded like he was begging but rachel just shook her head. "Rachel I need you to tell me. Please." He pulled her away from the fridge and took her hands in his.
"I'm keeping it." She said looking down at the floor not wanting to see his reaction. So she was shocked as his arms wrapped around her.
He held her close. "Thank you Rachel. i know I had no say but I'm glad you're going to keep the baby." She started crying into his chest.
"I thought you were going to tell me to get rid of it." She balled up her fist into his shirt.
"Shhh. It's okay Rachel. It's going to be okay." He held her and choose to ignore her last words to him. "Are you hungry? I'll make you something."
"Yeah. Please." He motioned for her to sit at the counter. "Mayo, Roast Beef, and pickles. Please." She was still sniffling.
"Okay." He did it and neither one of them said anything. The silence wasn't broken until after her third bit of the sandwich. "Did you consider have an um you know?"
"Abortion?" Puck nodded. "Yeah. I did but it's not right for me. It might be right for another girl but I don't know, sitting in the office I started freaking myself out. I didn't go through with it. So now it's either raise it or adoption."
He nodded and watched as she stuffed her mouth full. He laughed as she finished eating. "You got something right there." He pointed to the side of his mouth. "No, here let me." He used his thumb to wipe away the mayo.
"Thanks." She whispered. He nodded and leaned in to kiss her.
