A/N: I know this took way longer than most of you would have liked but with starting a new job it's been an adjustment. This is short but it's setting me up for the chapter that I have in mind as coming next which is likely going to be fairly long even if I'm not 100% sure of what exactly it's going to include. Either way, I want to thank you all for sticking with me. Also, this chapter is a little sad but I swear it's not going to stay like that for long.
I'm going to address both comments on this as well as the mature version here because I'm not 100% sure when their story is going to take me to the add-on again. Anyway here goes:
koreym1987 - Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment, it means a lot.
Guests - You're completely entitled to your own opinion as far as the level of romance shown goes. However, I don't think Noah has actually fucked anyone else in the bed of his truck before so setting it up like that was something special for Rachel's first time. It's also far more logical because obtaining a hotel room as a teenager certainly isn't easy. Also, I'm so glad that you don't think it feels rushed, that means I'm doing something right. I thought the testing was a nice touch, Rachel didn't even think about it but she was certainly impressed by the gesture and how much it shows that he cares about her wellbeing. Thank you so much for the beautiful comments on the mature chapter as well. I don't plan on it taking too long for their to be a baby in the mix, but that doesn't mean that things will be perfect either.
Alexa - I think it's going to take awhile longer before Rachel and Noah consciously realize that what they have is so much more than the baby and that they could actually be more than just parents together. But yes, they both had their concerns about the night and were doing everything they could to make it perfect. It certainly was a special night, actions definitely speak volumes.
SammiLoves2Write - Thank you!
Gwennie49 - Noah's tenderness and protectiveness are only going to increase once Rachel is actually pregnant. I'm still not 100% sure how her dads are going to react but we should see something with them in the next chapter or so. He definitely spent less on all of the supplies than he would have on a hotel room and it was certainly more sanitary as well. Plus who wouldn't want to make love under the stars with the only artificial light around being fairy lights.
RachelStBerry - I'm glad that it was everything you needed to take it to another level. I'm sure there will be more chapters that do the same in both versions as things progress.
Ms,Allea- He really is isn't he?
While both Noah and Rachel hoped that their first time had been enough to conceive, neither was foolish enough to wait and see. Instead, they were intimate whenever they could. Starting out it happened mostly in Rachel's bed, but as Rachel became more comfortable with making love to Noah they added the shower and kitchen counter to the mix. Since the last days of July had just passed and August was moving along quickly both Rachel and Noah knew that they were running out of time. Not only did Rachel have a doctor's appointment coming up in which she could possibly be told that surgery was happening whether she liked it or not, but Noah was going to be heading home for football camp and his return to his own school, too far away for Rachel's liking.
The night before Noah was scheduled to return to Lima, he packed the last of his bags and snuck over to Rachel's house, specifically her bedroom window. Though she wasn't expecting him, Rachel's reaction was certainly not one that Noah was going to turn down. Within seconds his shirt was on the floor with the rest of their clothes following as Rachel insisted that they put in as many final attempts to make a baby as they possibly could. After all, this was the last chance she had.
Exhausted, the two fell asleep curled together, Rachel's head pressed against Noah's chest. When she awoke a few hours later, Noah was already up and simply staring down at her, a lazy smirk on his face. Even after only knowing Rachel for a few weeks Noah knew that she was going to be beyond emotional today and so he was better off not saying anything. Instead, he pressed a soft kiss to the corner of her mouth and tugged her tightly against his body. He didn't have to make her promise that she would call when she found out one way or another, nor did he bring up seeing each other again. If he had the choice, no matter what he would come down here every weekend just to be with her.
By the time the clock struck 11, Noah knew he needed to leave and though he wanted to kiss away all of Rachel's tears he was sure that wouldn't be possible. Rather, he just hugged her tightly and murmured a promise that he would text her as soon as he got back to his house. Though she nodded, Rachel could barely hold back the tears that were certain to fall as soon as he was out of her sight. When they started this, it hadn't even dawned on her that eventually, he would have to leave.
As his truck pulled out from its spot down the block, Rachel's sobs broke loose and she slumped to the floor inside her front door. At the same time, Noah's fist slammed against the steering wheel and he sent up a prayer to the big man above that things would work out.
