I DO Not Own Glee
Thanks so Much for the reviews, I really love them.
Puck felt a pain in his heart when he heard those words "I want Noah to be a part of his daughters life." His heart seemed to swell and he could barely stand to look at the tiny brunette. At that moment he wanted nothing more than to tell Rachel how much he wanted her...forever.
"Rach, Shelby and I have already discussed that and she wants me to be Beth's Dad." The boy smiled, unable to hide the happiness he felt inside of being father to the beautiful little girl.
Rachel's face lit up and her eyes filled with tears "I'm so happy for you Noah." She turned to Shelby "Thank you Mom."
Shelby teared up herself she hadn't been expecting her daughter to welcome her back into her life. She hadn't been expecting Leroy and Hiram Berry to allow her in her daughters life, and she most certainly was not expecting her baby's father to come waltzing into the scene. This felt right.
"We're like one of those weird sitcom TV families." Rachel laughed a little and Puck chuckled along with her.
"We always have been unique angel." Leroy chuckled along with his daughter and grabbed Hiram's hand.
As soon as that thought was done, and dismissed Rachel brought up a new topic of discussion "Shelby how often will Noah see Beth. Will you do every other weekend? What about one day during the week?" Then to Noah "Have you talked to your mother?Do you even now how to change a diaper?"
Puck stopped her, gently putting a hand over her mouth "Relax babe."
She sighed and rolled her eyes before nodding her head "I'm sorry. I will try to go a little bit slower, but these are serious questions that need to be discussed."
"We'll need more chairs then won't we angel?" Hiram engaged her and made her nod enthusiastically "We'll be right back." He told the others as he and his life partner went to round up two more chairs.
"Rachel, I was thinking with your fathers having to be at work, and you needing someone with you, I could stay and help you out..." Puck told the girl he loved awkwardly scratching his neck and biting his lower lip.
Shelby put a hand over her mouth to stifle the tiny giggle that escaped her mouth. This boy loved her daughter.
"I'd like that, but you'd have to talk to your mother first, because it would be highly inappropriate for you to stay at girls house..." She broke off and took in a gulp of air "without maternal permission."
Puck rolled his eyes at the girl "Alright Berry, if you want me to ask for permission, then I will."
Shelby found the interaction between the teens highly intriguing. The two really shouldn't have worked out; Puck was laid back and didn't have a care in the world, and Rachel was uptight constantly worrying about something. The two balanced out each other, Puck urged the girl to relax and take a breather once in a while, and Rachel made Puck want to try harder. Shelby knew that the couple would last for a long time.
"Earth to Shelby." Puck snapped Shelby out of her thoughts and she shook her head to clear her mind of them.
"What's the problem?"
"Beth's awake, can I?" He asked hopefully, his brown eyes looking directly into her ocean blue ones.
Shelby agreed, Rachel's fathers came back and they all started discussing the plans for the future.
Santana just needed too grow some balls and go in and apologize to Rachel. She knows the girl will accept her apology, she isn't one for grudges. Santana thinks maybe that's why she doesn't want to apologize to the girl, because she doesn't want to be hate her. People hate Santana because she's cruel to the highest degree, she shows no mercy, and kicks you when you're down. She knows this, and she's tried to change, but she doesn't want to be a loser. She's had a taste of power and she likes it. The power makes her chin a little higher, her heart a little colder, and most importantly those who respect increase. She thought that she wouldn't always have to be such a mean girl, climb over bodies to get to where she wanted and then she could be a normal person, but once she had tortured so many she couldn't go back.
She walked into the hospital room, Rachel was alone, and just stood there she didn't know what to do.
"Santana, if you're here to torture me I am going to have to ask for a raincheck. I am in pain and exhausted so..." The diva spoke her eyes narrowed and suspicious as to why her greatest tormentor was in her hospital room.
The latina squirmed in discomfort "I just wanted to apologize for you know Finn and the names."
Rachel gave her a strange look and quirked head "I know it's your quilt that brought you her Santana, and that's fine."
The other girl wanted to say something, anything, but absolutely nothing would come to mind.
"Rest assured Santana I don't blame you for anything."
"Um thanks Berry."
The girl stared at her and Santana felt incredibly uncomfortable. It was like this girl was reading her mind.
"I won't call you manhands or Rupaul again."
The small girl scoffed "Stick and stones, those nicknames used to bother me..."
"Used to?" The latina asked in shock.
Rachel nodded "When I was younger I used to cry about them, and then I realized that they could only hurt me if I allowed them too."
The girl nodded dumbly "This was just...we're not friends Berry and we never will be."
"That's fine. In all honesty I don't think I have the strength to embark on a friendship with you."
And for the first time in the Latina's life she turned and ran. She was shocked everyone wanted to be her friend, no one.
Fredrick Greyson was a lucky kid. No charges were being pressed against him for running over the girl, and he was immensely grateful. The girl's family could have buried him, but the girl was alive and apparently that was enough for them.
He thinks he might be crazy, but he needs to find redemption, and that's how he sums up walking into Memorial hospital with a bouquet of is probably a bad idea, but he just needs to apologize, he might be an angst filled teenager but he would never hurt anybody.
He walks into the girl's room "Hey I'm Fredrick."
To his amazement the girl smiles back "My names Rachel Berry and I think I have to thank you."
The boys eyes go wide and he needs to sit immediately "Wait please don't tell me you were trying to...to...to kill yourself."
"Of course not suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." She recited, and the boy thinks she might be the voice for one of the suicide prevention videos the schools show.
"Then why are you thanking me." He asks extremely confused, but also enthralled by this tiny brunette.
"I've had a life changing experience, I mean it was incredible."
The boy smiles at the girl "I like you, you are like a really cool girl."
She giggles "Thanks."
"So," Fredrick plays with his hands "this is awkward."
"Extremely." The girl admits "So what happened to you on December fourteenth?" She's asks. The boy isn't sure wether she is curious or she just wants to break the whole silence thing.
"My mom made me go and pick up a christmas tree and I was pissed off. I had my ipod plugged in I dropped it, went to grab it and then... Bam."
The girl just giggles again and he wonders what kind of pain medication she's on "Thanks for not apologizing."
"I was getting to it." He admits, feeling good for the first time in a long time. This girl's spirit is infectious and makes him feel hope.
"Don't, please don't. Everyone has been coming her and apologizing for everything they have ever done to me and I am sick of it."
He gives her his best half smile and hands her the bouquet he bought for her "Instead of apologizing I bear gifts."
She reaches for them and smells them "And we haven't even went on our first date yet." She winks letting him no that she's kidding.
He plays along with her "You know what they say first step flowers, second step ring."
"What the fuck is going on in here?" A tall muscular boy shouts walking into the room looking extremely pissed off.
'Oh fuck' Fredrick thinks to himself 'What have I done?'
