Hey guys, here's the very last chapter. I just wanted to thank everyone who's read and reviewed this story. It made my day getting constant notifications about people adding this to their favourites/alerts. Enjoy!

I own nothing.

Rachel stood in the bathroom nervously tugging at the hem of the royal blue dress she had bought on Friday. Quinn was just finishing the last touches on her hair with a curling iron as Santana leaned against the wall in supervision.

"I'm really nervous." Rachel said quietly.

"B, you've sung a million songs in front of us, and you've serenaded Finn a bunch of times." Santana rolled her eyes.

"Yes I know. But this feels bigger, more important somehow. What if Noah doesn't appreciate the message that I'm trying to send?"

"Rach, he was the first boy to serenade anyone in our little club. And he did it for you. He'll love it, I promise," Quinn said as she stepped back to admire Rachel. "You look really nice."

"Thanks." Rachel said as the two girls left her alone in the restroom. She needed a moment to compose herself before she walked into that choir room and laid it all on the line.

She had been able to tell by the way that he looked at her this morning that he was irritated with her for not calling him that weekend. The two of them had spent so much time together lately that it had seemed strange to not see him for a couple of days, but it had felt very necessary. She had spent hours searching for the right song for the situation. She had practiced it endlessly and then Sunday night decided on a different song all together. Quinn had pointed out that it should be from her heart and not over-rehearsed so Rachel had only practiced once in the shower this morning. She had done her very best to avoid him during the day but it had been hard when she realised it was upsetting him. She just needed to sing the song before she talked to him. She had always found it easier to sing her feelings and she knew that Noah was the same way. Sam had been very helpful by offering to distract Noah with sports talk during lunch while she relaxed in the choir room with the girls.

"You can do this." She said confidently as she looked at herself in the mirror. She thought back to the girl that had stared back at her through this mirror a few weeks before. She had stood there picking herself apart, feeling all alone. She smiled when she realised that everything had changed since then. She was friends with almost everyone in Glee and Mr. Schuester had begun to treat her with respect. 'Just the way you are' had become something of a mantra for her since then. Noah managed to tell her daily that she was perfect just the way she was. And to make sure she remembered it, he had changed the ringtones on her phone to 'Just the way you are' by Bruno Mars the week prior. Her friendship with Santana and Quinn had flourished and she valued their friendships greatly. She was happy. She was ready for this.

Rachel grabbed her jacket and threw it on over her dress as she smiled one last time at the mirror before leaving the washroom. She headed to the choir room in excitement. She walked in just a moment before Mr. Schuester and took the empty seat at the front next to Artie. She heard Noah sigh heavily behind her and smiled at his impatience.

"Hey guys! Does anyone have anything prepared today?" He laughed when Rachel's hand shot up in the air and waved for her to come up.

Rachel stood at the front and looked out at the crowd in front of her. Everyone was smiling except Finn. She felt a twinge of sadness over his immaturity but refused to let it ruin her mood. She figured that he and Mercedes would come around eventually. She carefully removed her coat before turning back to face the club.

"The last few weeks have been so incredible for me. We've really come together as a club and I am so honoured to be able to call you all my friends. I look forward to performing our group numbers with you all tomorrow. But for now, I have prepared a song for someone who has been there for me no matter what. Someone who makes my life better just by being a part of it." She finished with a smile before turning to the band and nodding.

Rachel took a step forward and started to sway to the music with a smile on her face. She felt her nervousness disappear as the music took over. She knew that the rawness of the performance was better than a choreographed routine. Santana and Quinn joined her at the front and stood behind her swaying as they provided the backup vocals.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

People are talkin', talkin' about people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it

(Ah ha)
They think we're lovers kept under covers
(Ooh hoo)
I just ignore it, they keep sayin'

Rachel kept it simple by dancing at the front with a grin on her face, as Santana and Quinn pretended to whisper behind her.

Laugh just a little too loud

(A little too loud)
Stand just a little too close
(Too close)
Stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'

Rachel locked eyes with Noah and sang out the chorus. She grinned when she saw the welcome surprise on his face.

Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
I want a little somethin' to talk about
I want your love
(Love love love love)

Rachel blew a kiss in his direction and smiled when he grinned.

Well I feel so foolish, I've never noticed that
(Ah ha)
Baby you're actin' so nervous like you're fallin'
(Ah ha)
It took a rumor to make me wonder
(Ooh hoo)
Now I'm convinced that they're goin' under

Rachel pointed towards Noah and pretended to fan herself.

And I think 'bout you everyday
(Everyday)
Dreamin' 'bout you every night
(Every night)
Hopin' that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it baby
(Darlin')

Rachel walked towards Noah and grabbed his hand. Pulling him to the front she placed one hand on his shoulder and the other in his hand and they started to dance.

When you come there'll be somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Somethin' to talk about)
I want you somethin' to talk about
I want your love
(Love love love love)

She smiled when he pulled her closer. She looked up into his eyes as she continued to sing.

Give 'em something to talk about, babe
I got some mystery, Why don't you just figure out?
Let's give them somethin' to talk about
How about love?
(Love love love love)

Rachel grinned when Noah joined her for the chorus as he continued to spin her around the room.

Ooh hoo let's give 'em somethin'
(Somethin' to talk about)
Hey a mystery won't hurt
(Somethin' to talk about)
There is somethin' to talk about
How about love? Alright
(Love love love love)

Rachel placed a hand on his cheek as she finished the chorus softly.

Somethin' to talk about
Somethin' to talk about
Love love love love

The whole club started clapping including Finn who joined in with a flinch as Artie shot him a dirty look. They all watched the couple as they stared at each other, waiting to hear what they would say.

"Interesting song." Puck said with a smirk.

"I thought it summed up my feelings perfectly." Rachel answered as he pulled her closer.

"Did you mean it?" He asked quietly.

"Well, I don't think that we should do it for the sake of giving people something to talk abou-"She was cut off as Puck crashed his lips against hers. She smiled into the kiss as the club erupted into a renewed round of cheering.

Rachel pulled back for a moment and looked into his eyes.

"So I guess that's a yes?" Rachel questioned with a smile.

"Baby I've been yours for too long to ever say no." He answered before she threw herself at him. Her fingers tugged on his Mohawk as she kissed him fervently.

The two stood there wrapped around each other as the class continued to cheer. They had just separated when Quinn surprised everyone as she grabbed Sam and laid one on him as well. Blushing furiously, the two separated to the sound of wolf-whistles and the knowing look of a very happy Rachel Berry.

"Puckleberry is back on bitches!" Puck yelled with a fistbump to Santana.

"Noah!" Rachel tried (and failed) for stern as she giggled.

He leaned down to kiss her gently. Breaking the kiss he smiled the smile that only Rachel ever saw as he tugged her even closer.

"Baby, we're two good looking Jews. It's only natural."

There it is. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Let me know what you think. I may be persuaded to write an epilogue.
