Chapter Seventeen

I woke up the next day with the biggest grin on my face. I still couldn't believe the events from the day before. I sighed happily, and then heard a groan as Noah woke up beside me. "Good morning fiancé," he said kissing me on the lips.
"Good morning," I said returning the kiss. "Come on let's get a shower," We took a shower, and then walked out and got dressed, today since it was a very warm day I decided on a summer dress. It was white one with yellow polka dots on it.

I put brown eye shadow on and was satisfied with my appearance. "Wow you look nice," said Noah.
"You don't look to bad yourself," I said, he'd got a T-shirt and Shirt on with a pair of jeans. "Okay let's go and get Darcy ready," I walked into her room and began finding out a pair of white denim shorts and a hot pink T-shirt. She looked very cute as always. We walked downstairs and as she ate her breakfast of toast and jam, I began making myself and Noah's lunch, a chicken salad. "That looks good," he said into my ear.

"Mommy why do you have a new ring," said Darcy.
"Well it means that me and daddy are going to get married," I said. "Do you know what that means,"
"Like the mommies and daddies at playgroup," she said.
"Yes," I said. "And you my dear are going to be our flower girl would you like that,"
"Do I get to wear a dress," I said.
"Of course," I said.
"Then I will like it," she said.

We dropped her off at playgroup and then made our way into school. "Hey guys," I said.
"Hey," they all said.
"You look really nice today Rach," said Quinn.
"Thank you Quinn," I said. I didn't say anything then, I decided to wait for our lunchtime glee practice. We walked in hand in hand the last to arrive, "Finally," said Kurt dramatically.
"Shut up Beyonce," said Noah. "We're not late,"
"Actually we have some news," I said.

"What kind of news," they said. I held up my left hand to explain and braced myself as everyone (well the girls and Kurt), broke out into screams and began running towards me. They pulled me away from Noah and sat me down demanding all the details. They awed in all the right moments, I felt like a little girl who'd gotten everything she'd ever wanted. "Okay guys," said Will walking into the room. "Wait why are we all so happy,"
"Rachel and Noah are engaged," said Brit.

"Really," he said. "Well congratulations, have we decided on the emotional number yet,"
"Rach said she was going to do something but we haven't heard it yet," said Mercedes.
"Do you feel comfortable performing it for us Rach," said Will.
"A couple of months ago I would have said no, but now I think I'll be okay," I said. "Okay so it's a song that my dad's used to sing to me when I was a little girl, it's called When You Wish Upon A Star,"

When You Wish Upon A Star,
Makes No Difference Who You Are,
Anything Your Heart Desires Will Come To You

If Your Heart is In Your Dream,
No Request is Too Extreme,
When You Wish Upon A Star As Dreamers Do,

Fate is Kind,
She brings to those who love,
The Sweet Fulfillment of,
Their Secret Longing,

Like A Bolt of the Blue
Fate Steps in and Sees You Through,

When You Wish Upon A Star,
Your Dreams Come True

I wiped at my eyes furiously and was swept into Noah's arms instantly. "Well if that wasn't emotional I don't know what is," said Will.
"Hopefully I won't cry when I perform it on the stage," I said.
"It doesn't matter Rach," Will said. "If you do get emotional it will show the audience that you care about what you're singing, now then how are the costumes coming along,"
Kurt and Mercedes showed us what they had been doing and I really was surprised.

They had made me a dress very similar to the one Deborah Kerr wears in the King and I movie. It was white and had blue stripes running through it. "Wow," I said. "This is amazing,"
"Well what else can you expect," said Kurt. They'd also made outfits like what the children wore, we tried them on and I must say we looked really good. I had told everyone that I would like to choose the outfit for the grease number. I think they thought I would wear something squeaky clean, but I'm a badass at heart and I'm going to wear the sexy outfit at the end of the movie.

"Girls, how about we simply go shopping tomorrow for our pyjama outfits," I said.
"How can we fit into one car though," said Quinn.
"You can take the truck," said Noah. "But only Rach can drive it,"
"You drive manual Rach," said Kurt.
"Yes," I said. "Noah taught me before I began actual lessons, so I feel comfortable,"
"Okay shall we meet at ten," I said. "And do you mind if I bring Darcy, Noah has football training in the morning,"
"Don't worry about it," said Quinn. "She's gorgeous, you should show her off more often,"

After picking up Darcy from playgroup we decided to stop off at the local diner as a treat. Darcy hadn't been here before, but we had many times. I had a burger with all the trimmings, and a strawberry milkshake, Noah had ribs and a cola, and we got Darcy some chicken breast pieces with fries, and a little chocolate milkshake. "Did you enjoy that Darcy," I said.
"Yes can we go there every Friday," she said.
"Maybe not every Friday," I said. "But we will come more often,"

"So what shall we do tonight," I said, as we got in.
"Can we watch a movie," said Darcy.
"What movie would you like to watch," I said.
"Lion King," she said.
"Okay, then let's go and get ready for bed, and then we can watch it," I took her upstairs and she had a quick bath and then got her into her pink pj's. Noah was dressed in pyjama bottoms his chest bare, I could never get over how gorgeous he was.

We watched the Lion King, and of course I cried, not just because I do at most films, but because of recent events, Noah did too, although he claimed to have something in his eye, but as I pointed out, "How come you're sniffling if there's something wrong with your eye," he didn't have anything to say to that. The movie finished just past eight, so I took Darcy to bed as she'd fallen asleep. I walked back downstairs and cuddled up to Noah.

"Did you want to watch something," I said.
"Sure how about, The Hangover," he said.
"I haven't seen that in a while," I said. "But just to warn you, you're bachelor party won't be anything like that,"
"I should hope not," he said. "Although it would be funny," We watched the movie, and then decided to go to sleep ourselves.

I sighed happily as we got into bed. Things were starting look up, all we had to do now was win Nationals, that would show everyone at school that we really area something to be proud of.
