Please don't hate me for taking so long! Had loads of stuff going on, but i promise now i'm back and their is still loads to come from me. Make sure you tell me what you think of this chapter! And thank you for all of the reviews, juts to answer some peoples questions of course Finn is the father.


Rachel wasn't sleeping and knew it would stay like that for a long time. She had just been on a flight that seemed like forever! Jessie of course came back with her, it felt so strange to be back in her home, and it made things worse because she knew what was inside of her.

Rachel couldn't help but to worry and started to think that maybe Jessie was right, maybe she should come clean about the baby, but apart of her couldn't. Not just yet. She still needed time to think.

Jessie of course thought she was ridicules for not telling him. He even told her if she didn't come clean about it then he would.

"How can someone so smart be so stupid at the same time!" Jessie said with anger once he knew Rachel wasn't going to tell him.

"I'm going home, i really can't be dealing with this now." She said walking home.

She couldn't ruin all of this. Not yet. Her mother was so proud of all the things she had done and she didn't want to ruin it all telling her she was pregnant, she knew she would be disappointed. And as for Noah, he was just acting civil with her and she didn't want to ruin anything else with him. Rachel had agreed to come clean before the first day of school, but to be honest she still had a problem accepting the pregnancy herself. She didn't even tell Brooke or anyone else yet.

Rachel stood up from her bed and decided to go for a walk. Maybe the cool air of the night would help her find some sleep. Rachel out put on a jumper and sneaked out of the house. She left the house quietly trying not to make a noise.

She started to walk to the court area. After a while she stopped in her tracks and smiled at her surroundings. She missed this place. This was on of her special places and also her brothers. She missed their relationship so much. She sat on one of the picnic tables and looked out to the river.

She heard some steps behind her and smiled. She knew Noah would join her. She turned around with a smile on her face, which faded right away. It wasn't Noah standing in front of her, no. It was Finn.

Rachel stood up looking down. She wasn't ready to let him see through her. She quietly nodded a sort of hello walking past him to leave.

"Is it always going to be like that now?" Finn asked not bothering to turn around.

Rachel turned around, she was surprised to hear that much pain in his voice.

"What are you talking about Finn." She asked confused. She sighed, upset.

"You avoiding me. Acting like i don't exist in your world." He added with pain in his voice. His back still on her.

Rachel kept her eyes looking at his back. She finally closed her eyes and shook her head. She didn't want to hurt him.

."No Finn, it won't always be like this." She said keeping her eyes closed. "I just need some time to heal and avoiding this, you well it's the best for me." She added honestly even if it did hurt her finally saying that to him. "I need to keep what i got left of sanity and being far away from you is the best i can do." She slowly opened her eyes. Finn was now facing her, she looked into his eyes. She saw he stepping towards her but she raised her hand to stop him. "Stay their please." She asked in a begging tone, she knew the state she was in she would just fall into his arms and she didn't want too.

Finn froze on the spot. "We really need to talk." He said nicely. He had never heard Rachel beg before. All he wanted to do was protect her.

"I know we do." She said honestly. "But not now, not yet." She said shaking her head.

"It's really important Rach, i-" Finn started.

"But their is one thing i want to tell you now. It's thank you." She said cutting him off.

"You thank me?" He asked confused.

"You gave me what i always dreamed of and i didn't know i could do it before you." She said smiling.

"Your music." He whispered.

"Yeah, well that's part of it." She said looking down. She was thinking more of the baby she was carrying. "Thank you Finn." She said again. "And we will talk again." She said walking away not looking back.

"I still love you Rach." He whispered. Looking at her walking away he knew he couldn't give up on her he loved her too much and there was too much she need to know.


Rachel returned back to school for graduation and was overwhelmed when her principle asked her to be valedictorian. She knew it was because of her success and how she still kept her grades up. She sat and waited for her name to be called.

"Please everyone make a warm welcome to this years valedictorian Rachel Puckerman."

Rachel stood up and looked at all the faces full of hope and pride. Rachel took time to study all of her friends and her brothers face, once she found Finn's face she brought her hand to her belly.

"Well it looks like we all finally made it didn't we?" Rachel said laughing with others laughing with her. "Today is the end and you should all be so proud."Rachel said keeping the tears back. "But today is the beginning of the rest of our lives and it can be scary for some of us knowing we are going to face big things, but never be scared of the unexpected because sometimes they are the best things." Rachel said this thinking of the baby. "I hope everyone gets what they deserve and i will miss you all so much."

Once Rachel was done she walked down to Santana and Noah with a smile. She was going away once again after arriving home just yesterday.

"Hey." Rachel said nicely, folding her arms across her chest.

"Hey." Puck said. He was still angry at Rachel knowing she wasn't going to be spending the summer with her friends and he was still pissed about the whole her and Finn situation.

Santana slapped Puck's arm, while glaring at him.

Rachel sighed. "Com on Noah, Lets smile today, we won't see each over for quite some time and-"

"And whose fault is that." Puck said angrily. "Not mine thats for sure."

Finn walked over towards them, he needed to see her.

"If this is the way you want things to end between us fine." She said sadly. "I guess i will spend my last day at home with people who really want me here." She said looking at her mother, Jessie, Quinn and Sam. "I am so proud of you guys, all of you." She added looking at Finn.

Finn felt like something had gave him a shock. She was proud of him. He smiled at her and watched her walk away.

"Well you should be pleased someone is proud of you."Santana said harshly to Puck. "Because i am certainly not." She added shaking her head. She looked nastily to Finn then turned back to Puck. "Maybe you don't know the real story! Open your eyes Puck."

"Maybe your the one that needs to open your eyes." Puck said looking at Santana.

"You know what? Whatever." She added with annoyance. "I hope you both have fun." She said walking over to Rachel and the others.

"Don't worry man, i have your back." He said patting Finn on the back.

"Thats the problem, maybe you should't." Finn said nicely. "We need to talk soon." He added he needed to tell the truth to Puck.

"Yeah, later. I need some air." Puck said leaving the room.


The next morning came and Rachel was leaving with Jessie again.

Quinn promised she would come out to visit and so would Sam.

Rachels mam hugged Jessie. "Take care of my baby." She said sadly.

"I will protect her with my life." He said smiling.

"I know you will." She said nodding. She turned her attention back on Rachel. "Take care of yourself baby." She said stroking her daughters cheek. "I am so proud of you and i know your dad would be too. You were destined for greatness Rachel Puckerman." She said smiling.

"So iv'e been told." Rachel said joking. She looked around to see if her brother was anywhere but he wasn't. She couldn't believe him.

Her mother noticed her straight away. "Sorry baby." She said seeing the sadness in Rachels eyes. "I really thought he would come, i am sure he will come see you during summer."

Santana hugged Rachel tightly not knowing what to say. She drove Quinn and Sam to the airport and she couldn't believe Puck would bail on his own sister. He was going to regret it was he knew the truth.

As soon as Rachel and Jessie's plane left, Santana said bye to the others. Rachel's mam offered to take Quinn and Sam home.

Santana drove to Finn's beach house. She knew he would be their.

Santana saw his car parked out front and sighed. "You are going to regret this." She said walking in.

Santana walked up the stairs and found Puck in one of the bedrooms she looked around the room and saw a ball on the floor.

"Hey Puckerman." She shouted throwing the ball at him.

Puck shouted with pain and jumped up. "Are you insane!" He shouted.

"No but you sure are!" Santana said with anger, her hands on her hips. "You are so stupid and blind Puck." She groaned. "Enough is enough."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Puck asked.

"You sister that's who! We both know she is not the one who ended things with Finn."

"She-" Puck started.

"She what?" Santana said cutting him off. "I don't know why she told you what she did, but your so stupid for believing her! Maybe you need to open your eyes and see the facts! You should of known she was lying Noah."

"Don't talk to me about facts Santana! You don't know all of them." Puck said angrily. He hated how Santana did't trust him. "Don't get involved in things that you don't know and maybe your the one that needs to open your eyes!"

"Oh yeah." Santana screamed. "Well think about this for a second." She said pacing around the room. "Rachel left on such short notice because she wanted too? I don't think so! For gods sake Noah she got a tattoo the day before the broke up!" Santana shouted again. She knew she would win this argument.

"Yeah? Well he bought her an engagement ring the day before too! So suck on that." Puck said, he knew Finn said to keep it as a secret but he just couldn't.

Santana looked at him in confusion and sat on the bed. "He was,,, none of this makes sense."

Puck sighed and sat next to her. "I know tell me about it, but you see why i believed Finn right?" He asked nicely he knew she was only trying to help but still. "Finn wouldn't have broken up with her if he wanted to propose to her."

"Yeah, but Rachel broke down at Quinn's saying that Finn dumped her! It was meant to be so heartbreaking for her to see." She said putting a hand through her hair. "That is why Quinn hates him."

"Yeah, its messed up." Puck said thinking when something hit him. "Wait! My sister got a tattoo?"

Santana smirked. "Yeah. You weren't supposed to find out."

"But Rachel wouldn't do that if she was planning on leaving him." He said. He picked up his phone and dialed Finn's number.

As soon as Finn picked up Puck spoke. "We need to talk man." Puck said acting cool.

"What about?" Finn asked.

"She never broke up with you did she?" Puck said taking a deep breath.

"No she didn't." Finn admitted in a sad tone.

"I'll be right over." Puck said hanging up. He would find out the truth by tonight. He quickly gave Santana a kiss.

"Please stay calm." Santana said worried.

He looked at her and smiled. "I love you, you know that?"

"Well i had a feeling you did." She said smirking watching him race out of the room.
