Rachel pulled the covers of her bed up tighter to her chin and closed her eyes. She started to fall asleep when she suddenly heard something. She sat up and listened. It must have been the wind, she decided and relaxed. She looked at her cork board with a sign that said, my husband is in the army. She wished he had come home tonight but there was one more week. One more week until he was hers forever.
The door to her bedroom opened and she sat up again. "Who's there? I have a bat!" "Calm yourself Berry" the familiar voice made her sigh with relief. She got out of bed and padded across her white plush carpet. "Hi Puck" she hugged him and smiled. Then she stepped back to look at him. His chief's hat was on his head slightly lopsided and his army jacket was slung casually over his arm.
"How's Quinn and Beth?" she asked sitting on her bed. "Fine since you had coffee with her this afternoon" Puck winked at her. Rachel blushed "anything could have happened in the few hours since our parting." "And what about you Berry? How have you been doing?" "I've been doing good Puck. I really have." Puck smiled "how much longer till the baby is born?" "Babies" Rachel corrected "and I have two more months." "Babies? I wasn't told..." "He doesn't know either" she replied "I was going to tell him when he came back." "That's great." Puck smiled at her "I gotta go now." He hugged Rachel again. "And sorry for not coming at the most opportune time." Then he turned and left her room closing the door behind him.
"At night" Rachel muttered climbing back into bed and closing her dark brown eyes again. About an hour later the bedroom door opened again. "Dammit Puck" she mumbled and sat up. But Puck wasn't there. Finn was. He looked at her with one of his goofy smiles. "Hey" was all he could say. "Hey" she said back. Then she got out of bed and ran to him and kissed him. He grabbed her and held her tightly. Then he put his hand on Rachel's stomach. "Hey baby" he smiled and rubbed it softly. "It's your daddy home from the war."
Rachel looked up at Finn and smiled. "Babies Finn. Twins. Girls." Finn's mouth opened and closed like a fish. Then he kissed her and hugged her." "Hey Girls. I just came back today and I'm never going to leave you or mommy ever again." He looked into Rachel's eyes. "I promise."
