Chapter Three

Noah came out of Darcy's room as I came out of ours, "What did you read to her?"
"A Disney Princess Book," he said. We made our way downstairs and sat down on the love seat. "You are such great parents," said Mr Schue. "It's hard to imagine you're only seventeen,"
"Well my parents have been a great help, they babysit for us when she's not at playgroup or when we go out, and allow us to partake in normal teenage activities,"
"So how did you hide the pregnancy," said Brittany.
"I wore hoodies and jackets but once I got towards my seventh month I stayed at home," I said. "I'd not been popular at school, so I was scared about people finding out, plus I know how some people frown upon teenage pregnancy so I didn't want to cause further problems,"

"Was it painful," said Quinn. "The birth,"
"Oh god yeah," I said. "I honestly can't describe how much, but everyone's pain barrier is different, so I guess other mom's would perhaps feel differently to me. But once she was born, the pain just disappeared, and when she was placed in my arms, I tell you it's the most wonderful feeling. You feel an almost overwhelming feeling of love and protection,"
"You also broke two of my fingers if I remember," said Noah smiling.

"You were there," said Finn.
"Of course," he said. "It was the most gross yet amazing moment of my life,"
"He cried," I said.
"So sweet," said Santana.
"It's one of those times when you can't control your emotions," he said. "It's almost magical,"
"Well because she's so cute, and you're such good parents we forgive you for not telling us," said Tina. "Although I guess Mercedes and Kurt also stood in your way,"
"Yeah a little," I said. "They've never liked me ever since I was given the solo for Don't Stop Believin," I said.

"Yeah but everyone knows you own that song," said Quinn.
"Yeah I guess," I said.
"Come on Rach you're an amazing singer," said Noah.
"Thank you Noah," I said kissing him gently.
"Why aren't you this cute together at school," said Quinn.
"I'd get beat up for it," said Noah. "I would love to be able to be myself, but I'm sure you all understand how difficult that is, particularly at our school,"

"Did you guys know each other before high school," said Artie.
"We've known each other since we were Darcy's age actually. We met at playgroup, and stayed friends then as we got older our bond I suppose you could call it became stronger and we fell in love. We'd been dating for a year before we slept together," I said.
"Did you plan to," said Santana.
"Honestly no," I said. "But we trusted each other and used protection, but the condom split, and after throwing up constantly I realized I was possibly pregnant,"

"How did your parents take it," said Mr Schue.
"My mom kicked me out," said Noah.
"My dad's were shocked but once we told them that we planned to keep the baby and how we were going to support ourselves, they agreed to help us," I said. "Noah moved in the next day and he's been here since,"
"Do you have the same room," said Quinn.
"We didn't at first, but we needed a room for Darcy, so that's what the guest bedroom became, so I bought us a king size bed and managed to fit it in my room," I said.
It was then that I heard the key in the door, "Hey kids," said my dad as he came in.
"Hey dad, and daddy," I said as my daddy also came into the room. "This is the glee club and our director Mr Schue, and of course you know Emma, guys these are my dad's Alan and David Berry,"
"Nice to meet you and guys you can call me Will," said Mr Schue. "All of you, but only out of school and in glee, since Emma's allowing it,"
"There's some casserole left over if you'd like it just needs heating up," I said.
"Thank you Rach," said dad, "Darcy's in bed?"
"Yes she went up at just past seven," I said.

"Okay, well I think it's time we headed off," said Emma. "Well me and Will, you guys can stay if you want,"
"Yeah we'll stay for a bit," said Quinn. It was eight so it wasn't too late for them to be staying and we didn't mind at all.
"So guys you wanna play X-box," said Noah.
"Hell Yeah," they all said.
"Okay I think that's our cue to go and chill in my room upstairs," I said.

I checked on Darcy before I went into my room, and saw her fast asleep cuddling her little rag doll. "She is so pretty," said Brittany.
"Yeah she is," I said. "Okay this is our room,"
"It's so normal," said Brittany.
"Well I do plan to decorate soon, make it a little more masculine for Noah, but for now it's fine," I said. "He doesn't complain anyway,"
"It's strange seeing him so relaxed and not badass," said Santana.

"Oh he's still like that when he's at home, he's always been like that," I laughed. "But he goes all soft when he's with Darcy. I tell you both of us were always getting into trouble when we were younger,"
"What Rachel Berry misbehaved," said Quinn laughing.
"OH yeah, we smashed windows on more than one occasion, not entirely on purpose it has to be said, I remember at Sports Day once, we were paired together to do and egg and spoon race, but you also had to tie your legs together too, well we stuck gum to the spoon to keep the egg in place, thing is we fell onto the egg anyway, the bad thing was that it was a rotten egg so we stank for days,"

That caused us all to laugh loudly and I felt so happy that it now seemed that I had true friends, ones that I could rely on and confide in about my problems. A little after nine, they all began to leave,
"Guys don't worry about Jewfro finding out, we've got your backs," said Mike and Matt.
"Thank you that means a lot," I said.

Once they had left myself and Noah stayed up for a while and then at eleven we went upstairs to get ready for bed. Whilst Noah took a shower, I got into my own Disney princess outfit; it was based on Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and was gold and white lingerie. Noah came in with just a towel, "I was thinking," I said. "How about we do our own princess story, I'll be beauty, and you can be the beast, I have to tame,"
"I like this story," he said.

He walked over to me and kissed me passionately, just minutes later his towel was flung to the corner of the room and my lingerie was in also in various locations, we fell onto the bed and had very passionate sex. "I love you so much," he whispered as we lay in each other's arms sometime later,
"I love you too," I said. "And that was amazing,"
"Well what else can you expect from the beast," he said and I couldn't help but giggle. "Goodnight babe,"
"Goodnight Noah," I said.
