AU: I'm really getting into this story. It just makes me want to write! I've always loved Puckleberry and hoping we could see more of them for season 4. Well as always, I don't own Lucky. It's owned by Jason Mraz. I've seen an interview on youtube that Lea Michele said she would love to sing Lucky with Mark Salling. So I thought that was the perfect song.
Chapter 6: Duet
They stayed longer at the Ice Cream shop since the girls were enjoying themselves. The adults stood up when everyone finished with their ice creams. It was soon time to go.
Emily knew their fun was up. "Do we have to go? I just made a new friend! Please, mommy!" She cried. Rachel sighs. "We need to go. Baby? Carole is making lunch." Rachel says.
"But I'm not hungry! I had ice-cream!" Emily yelled. Rachel sighs again but this time heavily. She knew her daughter was close to throwing temper tantrums. Beth sat up and walks towards her daddy and Puck holds Beth's hand.
"I don't want to go. I like Beth. We're friends!" Emily cries.
"Baby, we have to go. I'm sorry. May be next time we could see Beth." Rachel calmly says.
Puck clears his throat to interrupt. "You know, I don't mind if you two come over for lunch. I was just going to order Pizza. It's Beth's request." He suggests. He saw Emily's face light up.
"I love pizza! Oh, please, mommy? This will be the best lunch ever." Emily begs.
"Oh, okay. Fine, why not?" Rachel finally agreed.
She didn't want too but it was for her daughter.
Rachel called her fathers, Kurt, and Carole what happened and they've understood. They ordered a box of pizza, half pepperoni, and a cheese-pizza. Rachel didn't make her daughter grow up as a vegan. Emily was allowed to eat pepperoni.
The girls went up to Beth's room. Puck was amazed. Beth doesn't open up to a lot of kids near her age. She really likes Emily. Puck looks directly at Rachel who this time didn't look away. "You okay?" Puck asked.
"Beth is a cutie-pie." Rachel compliments.
"She definitely doesn't have her mother's personality or mine."
"Where is Quinn?" Rachel asked concerned.
"She married some Lawyer. They live in Hawaii. She wants nothing to do with Beth." Puck responds.
"I'm so sorry." Rachel apologizes.
"It's fine. I'm just glad I'm still able to be part of Beth's life." Puck said. Rachel nods. "Beth is so shy. It's hard for her to make friends sometimes."
"Is Shelby still around?" Rachel asked.
Puck nods. "She's still around. She's a professor at University of Ohio. I spend the whole summer with Beth, the whole weekend, and when school starts; I spend the hours three-seven with her. Beth is my life."
Rachel smiles. "I can see why. She's adorable."
"I really hope I can feel the same way about Emily...you know, if you let me?" Puck asked.
Rachel was speechless. She still thinks about Finn. She still thinks of him every night about where he would go and stay. She still cared for Finn. "Puck-"
"It's Noah. Rachel? It's Noah. It's always been Noah for you."
"That's really sweet. I'm just so confused with Finn. He wanted me to tell Emily the truth. We sort of did, I just never mentioned your name. After that, Finn never has spoken to me, and he's gone out at night since then." Puck listens to Rachel. Oh, how much he's missed her voice. Rather if she was rambling or venting...he's always loved hearing the voice of Rachel Berry.
"You got to give him some time. You might not be the reason for him doing that. He could be grieving over Burt."
"That would be Kurt, not Finn." Rachel reminds him.
"Yeah, I know. Berry? I'm sorry for what I said to you. I'm sorry I said that you screwed up. You screwed up more than anyone I know. I understand why you forced Finn to be Emily's father. It happened once, you know? It happened with Beth. I didn't think it would happen again but it did. Finn is what every girl wants in a boy. Quinn felt that way and you felt that way. You have to give me a chance. You have to let me be part of Emily's life. She knows some parts but she doesn't know who I really am-not yet, but one day she will. I'll take it one step at a time. When you're ready and you want her to know about me, then we'll tell her. We'll tell her together. Beth and Emily will be each other's best friends. There will always be a place in my heart for us." Puck .meant every word he said.
I'm not going to cry. I've cried way too much. Noah's words have touched my heart.
Puck suddenly pulls out his guitar. "This is for you." He says. Rachel watches as he begins to play.
Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Puck smiled the whole time he sang. Rachel smiles sweetly as well but couldn't control the tears. They were happy tears. She loves this song. Even if it's an oldie, it's always a goodie. She knew the words. She knew the lyrics to the song so she began to sing the next verse.
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel you whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard.
She surprised Puck. Puck wasn't expecting to her to sing along. They continued as their voice blended well together. They haven't sung together in so long.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh..ooh ooh
Puck loved every moment of this. He was hoping Rachel was too.
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
Rachel wasn't sure how to describe what she was feeling .For the first time she's felt happy. She hasn't sung in so long and it just felt good.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
This song was meant to be sung to Rachel. Rachel has always been his best friend, well secretly. It doesn't have to be that way anymore.
He was in love with Rachel Berry.
He slowly has to find a way for Rachel to admit how she feels about him.
Cause the Duet they just sang together felt like Chemistry.
