Okay so I just want to thank everyone for the reviews! I didn't expect anything so the fact I've got 6 so far is pretty awesome. This chapter is going to switch between Puck and Rachel's points of view on some of the same events. There will be some repeating but it won't be too bad. Also I am SOOO SORRY it took me so long to update, but its crunch time at school plus I've been working almost 40 hours a week between the two jobs I have… gotta love college! Anyway I will be out of town this weekend, but I wanted to get this up before I left. I'm literally proof reading, and posting it minutes before my mom shows up at my place to leave…. Procrastination what is that lol. Hopefully I'll have a chapter for you guys typed up by next week.
The Next Day
Puck's POV
I received a text from Quinn asking if we could talk yet. I returned one saying yes. I might as well get it over with; because this was something we really needed to talk about. About thirty minutes later there was a knock on the door. I opened it to reveal a crying Quinn.
"I fucking hate you! You ruined my life," were the first words out of her mouth once I had the door closed.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, it takes two to tango ice queen." I answered defending myself.
"You took advantage of me! I was intoxicated!" Quinn continued to yell.
"OKAY! Lets get a few things straight. One keep it down my kid sister is asleep upstairs, and two you had two wine coolers that's not drunk." I explained.
"Well my life is still over. I'm not keeping this baby. There is no way I'll do it!" Quinn continued now quieter, but still playing the victim.
"Wait adoption or abortion?" I questioned.
"God Puckerman! Adoption! I don't believe in the other word! I'm Catholic!" Quinn stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"You're not giving my kid up for adoption!" I said.
"Well I'm not raising it with you. You are a Lima loser. You are probably going to be a dead beat like your father. I mean the apple doesn't far all that far from the tree." Quinn said with venom in her voice. I started to lose it, but someone beat me to the punch. Rachel came out of nowhere, well from the stairs anyway.
"Stop your little rampage right there Quinn!" I've known Noah forever and he is nothing like his father. In fact he is the polar opposite. Don't you dare pin that on him!" Rachel stated staring Quinn down.
"God what are you doing here man hands?" Quinn asked being her usual bitchy self. She was bad without pregnancy hormones. I could only imagine what they would do to her. I was surprised by Rachel's answer.
"Oh shut the hell up Prego."
"Rachel why are you here? Actually when did you get here?" I asked confused, but proud of Rachel for standing up to Quinn.
"I'm watching your sister Noah your mom asked me to. By the way she heard everything so I'd tell your mom ASAP. Now if you'll excuse me." She turned on her heels and walked back up the stairs. I turned to Quinn.
"I don't care if you don't want to raise the kid. I will. I don't want my kid out there at the risk of whatever could happen to it. Not when I can take care of it myself." I said keeping my tone calm despite the amount of effort it took.
"We will see. I've still got five and a half months left. We've got time to think about it." Quinn started finally seeing some reason. "Are you going to tell your mom tonight?" She asked.
"Yeah I plan to, I love Hanna but the kids got a big mouth." I stated.
"Okay I only ask because I will be telling my parents, and they will more then likely is giving your mother a call. I apologize now on their behalf for whatever they say to your mother. I am sure it won't be nice." She explained. It kind of pissed me off thinking they might say something bad about my mom, but that much wasn't Quinn's fault. It gave me a glimpse into what her parents might be like, and it might just explain why she is the way she is. Quinn left my house and my focus immediately returned to Rachel. I darted up the stairs to Hanna's room to find the two of them and Britt playing tea party with stuffed animals. When I walked in Hanna's eyes immediately lit up. That kid was my world (besides Rachel).
"Noahie! Come join the tea party! Rae Rae is Miss Applebottom, heir to the Applebottom apple tree fortune. She's worth millions! Brittie is Miss Bananatop the famous singer and dancer." Hanna exclaimed jumping up and down while she explained. God that kid had an imagination.
"Wow Han did you come up with that all by yourself?" I asked.
"No Brittie did." Hanna stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I just laughed.
"I'll join you guys later. I need to talk to Rachel for..." I started but was interrupted by Hanna.
"There is no one here by that name Noah." Hanna deadpanned.
"Okay…." Kid was serious, "then Miss. Applebottom?" I tried.
"Fine, but if you rob her guard Lord Tubbington will have your head." She warned while I looked at her confused until I heard a meow and turned to see Britt's cat was here dressed in a police officer outfit. They make those for cats…..weird….
"Well if I rob her then sir Lord Tubbington is…." I started.
"GUARD!" Britt and Hanna interrupted.
"Guard! Sorry, "I corrected, "is welcome to have my head" I finished. Rachel stood and followed me out. "Rae please don't end this. I'm sorry I lied to you about Quinn. I really am, but I never cheated on you I swear. I really do lo…." I explained.
"NO! Do not say it! I will not have that word associated with this situation Noah. I don't want to end it, I really don't, but I have to." Rachel interrupted.
"But why Rae? Why do you have to end it?" I asked.
"Your focus needs to be on Quinn and that baby not a girlfriend. I'm sorry Noah it is how I feel please respect it." Rachel answered tears running down her face. My heart broke more and more with every tear.
"Of course I will respect it," I nodded. She turned and headed back towards Hanna's room. I thought that was it for now, but before she reached the top of the stairs she turned around running back to me. She threw herself in my arms, her lips crashing to mine. The kiss lasted a while, but she pulled away sooner then I would have liked.
"Goodbye Noah," She whispered walking away.
"I love you," I whispered finally able to get the statement out even if she couldn't hear me.
RPOV
When we got home, after assuring them I was ok, Blaine and Britt disappeared into his room. Nick and Jeff however had made it their personal mission to cheer me up.
"Alrighty-o movie marathon, first stop Funny Girl!" Nick said grabbing me, pulling me into the den.
"Thanks guys you don't have to do this though," I smiled.
"Au contraire mademoiselle Rachel. We do!" Jeff laughed faking a French accent, badly.
"Oui Oui madam," Nick added. We watched movies the rest of the night, and ordered Chinese food. Much later a very happy looking Blaine and Britt joined us. I assume you can fill in the blanks. It was then I remembered I had promised Noah's mother I would watch his sister. Well so much for avoiding Noah outside of school.
"Oh crud." I sighed.
"What's wrong Rae?" Brittany questioned.
"I promised Noah's mom I'd watch Hanna tomorrow. I thought I would be able to avoid him for a while." I explained.
"I can come with you Rae," Jeff offered.
"No you can't. We have to be at the mall for a Warbler performance." Blaine said.
"Oh right," Jeff sighed.
"What time?" I asked.
"It starts at 11 but we have to be there at nine." Blaine answered.
"Then I will just take Hanna to go see you guys. So that only leaves me three hours alone there if I leave by ten. Noah probably won't even be awake by then." I said solving my problem.
"I'll go with you Rae! We can bring Lord Tubbington! Hanna loves him." Britt volunteered. So it was set. The next day I picked Britt up at her house, Lord Tubbington in tow. His mom just laughed when she saw the cat. She told us the low down, and what time she would be back. It was obvious she had no idea what had happened between Noah and me. Not to much later Hanna woke up. She was more then thrilled to see the three of us. Hanna immediately decided we were having a tea party. A few hours later we heard shouting coming from downstairs. I recognized the voices of Puck and Quinn.
"Wait did she just say it's Noah's fault she's pregnant? Noah's gonna have a kid. OHHH mom is gonna be mad!" Hanna said wide-eyed.
"Nah I'm sure you misheard. But I will see what's going on." I tried to get her to forget the first part.
"Yah I misheard and Noah is a math genius. Ma is gonna have his hide. God the girl was too good for her own good. I went out into the hallway and stood at the top of the stairs just listening. I interjected when Quinn started comparing Noah to his father. I gave my two cents returning to Hanna's room after.
"Hey Hannie can you promise me something?" I asked.
"Of course Rachie," she answered.
"Let's not tell your mom about Noah. It's something he's got to tell her on his own okay?" I questioned.
"Okay Rachie," Hanna promised. She must have immediately forgotten because Noah opened the door she asked him to join. However, he wanted to talk to me. After our talk I just felt worse. I really did love him, but now whenever he would say I love you I would always associate the words with this point in time, and that hurt. After running back to kiss him I walked back up the stairs.
"I love you I whispered," knowing Noah couldn't hear me. I returned to the room.
"Miss Applebottom you alright?" Britt questioned.
"Yah Miss Applebottom do I have to send officer Tubbington after Noah because I will. He'll kick his butt." Hanna stated hands on her hips.
"Nope I'm okay but let's get ready to go!" I said distracting myself and Hanna in the process.
"Where are we going?" Hanna asked excited.
"To see Blaine and his friends sing at the mall!" I answered.
"Really like what you, Noah, and Brittie do?" Hanna asked in return.
"Yes!" I laughed.
"SOOOO COOOL! I've never seen Blaine sing just you Noah and Brittie!" Hanna said wide eyed. "And Blaine is really cute…" Hanna continued mumbling the last part.
"Oh really now Princess Hanna, watch out Miss Bananatop, you've got some competition for my brother's heart.
"Well if I have to lose Blaine to anyone I'd want it to be a princess, especially as one as awesome as Hanna!" Brittany laughed.
