Thank you so much for all the amazing reviews! My next update will be either Sunday or Monday but i promise no later.
It was not two weeks that Rachel had been back in California and she had actually started to get used to it. It felt like a new home to her. Her mom and brother were coming to visit in two weeks and she promised herself she would come clean about the baby.
Rachel kept her eyes on the calendar grimacing. She could already imagine her brother reaction when she tells him. He called her 3 days after her return to California to apologize about his behavior over the last few months and told her that she should of always been her priority.
Her thoughts were taking away when she heard the door open, a smile spread across her face. Brody found her an amazing job! She was now a songwriter and it was all because of him. He didn't understand why she didn't want a singing carer but he still didn't know about the baby.
So now four days after signing her contract, Rachel was now an official songwriter and it was all because of Brody. She was so thankful.
"Come on girl! Time to rock the show." Brody said smiling, as they decided to go to the cinema today.
Rachel turned around and gave him a hug while he kissed the top of her head. Jesse cancelled the tour so he could stay with Rachel. She felt so bad about it but he kept assuring her that it was fine and it would all turn out good in the end. However, there were some dates that Jesse couldn't cancel and during them days Brody took the best friend spot and always filled in.
"Come on then." Rachel said taking her bag. "What are you taking me to see?" She asked.
Brody sighed. "Damn you just had to ask." He twitched his mouth. "Well i was thinking, loads of blood, monsters and all of that." He said seriously.
"Cool." Rachel said smiling. "You have yourself a deal sir." She added stepping infront of him. "Monsters are my soft spot." She added as a joke.
"And that my muchkin is why i love you." He laughed.
This remark made Rachel shiver but she chose to ignore it. She would talk to him tonight, tell him about the baby, it was time to tell him the truth and face reality, she would be a mother soon after all.
Jessie had told her to set things straight with Brody this week. Even though Rachel said they were only friends, Jessie knew that Bordy had fallen deep in love with her.
After the movie Brody invited Rachel for ice cream.
"You know, i'm really impressed." He said with a smile.
"Why is that?" Rachel asked curious, taking a spoon of chocolate ice cream and eating it.
"Well every other girl was putting their hands over their mouths and covering their eyes." He laughed. "But you, you kept your eyes on the screen all the time laughing when people got killed."
"Well come on." Rachel said laughing. "Did you want me to be all scared and bury my face on your broody chest." She asked in a sarcastic tone sticking her tongue out at him.
Brody looked at her for a few seconds before shrugging. "Maybe." He whispered.
Rachel took a deep breath. "I think we need to talk."
"Okay, shoot." Brody said putting ice cream in his mouth. He knew by her tone it was serious and was worried with what she was going to say.
"Not here." Rachel said nicely. "Let's drive back." She added walking to the car. She was now 10 weeks pregnant and her bell was still flat. But she knew she would soon start to show.
When they made it back to the flat, Bordy could see Rachel get more uncomfortable which made he feel that way. What was she about to say?
"Please take a seat." She said pointing to the couch.
Brody just nodded and sat down.
Rachel sat on the coffee table so she was facing him. She started playing with her hands until they became in a fist.
Brody saw how stressed she was and took her hands in his. "Come on Rach, whatever you have to say i can take it." He said nicely. "Just tell me, remember anything but lies between us."
"Okay." Rachel said looking at her hands wrapped in his. "Well, i know it can sound a bit silly." She said her voice shivering. "But,,,welll,its just." She was blushing so hard.
Brody laughed nervously. "That bad huh?" He asked. "Your normally so straight forward." He added squeezing her hands.
She looked up and sighed. "Jessie said you might have a little crush and well. I just need to know."
"I don't have a little crush on you." He simply stated.
Rachel sighed in relief.
"I'm in love with you." He added looking away. "I am so deeply in love with you Rachel Puckerman. I know i have only known you for 6 weeks, and i know that you still love this other guy but i just-"
"I'm pregnant." Rachel said cutting him off. "I'm pregnant with his child."
Brody looked at her with disbelief. "Oh." He waited a couple of minutes. "But." He frowned. "I dont know much about babies, but you said you guys broke up like 5 month ago and." He pointed to her belly.
"Oh right." Rachel said blushing. We did but well, we did it again about 11 weeks ago." She added uncomfortably.
"Oh." Brody repeated. "Well what can i say? No much." He added trying to smile.
"But i like you Brody, you are such a great friend and i know were connecting on so many levels." She said her eyes filling up with tears. "I'm so sorry." She said her voice shivering.
"What?" Brody asked confused. "No don't cry please." He begged closing the distance between them pulling her into a hug. "I don't know what your apologizing for."
"I'm hurting you, i should of seen what was happening." She said between her sobs.
Brody broke their embrace and bent down so their face was at the same level. "Look at me Rachel." He said serious. "You never gave me any kind of hope." He said stroking her face. "I knew you didn't like me, so you shouldn't feel bad about anything."
Rachel was still crying, but much quieter.
"Come here." He said pulling her into a another hug. "Everything will be okay."
Finn was in his bedroom looking at the engagement ring he bought Rachel. He brushed over it and sighed.
"I will always love you, and that will never change." He said looking at the ring, picturing it on Rachel's finger.
Puck had somehow forgive him for the whole mess. Maybe it was because he could see all the pain he already had and he didn't need anymore.
Finn heard the doorbell ring and rolled his eyes. Puck has ended up coming over every day to get him out of the house.
"I'm coming Puckerman." Finn shouted coming down the stairs. "What lame excuse have you got today?" He added opening the door.
"Hello Finn." Said a cold voice.
"Jessie?" Finn asked confused. "What?" He frowned. "Is Rachel okay?" He asked worried. "Is she here too?" He continued.
"Can i come in?" Jessie asked.
Finn let Jessie in.
Jessie took a deep breath. "Yeah Rachel is fine, well as fine as she can be." He shrugged. "And no she is not here, she dosen't know i'm here." He added with a sarcastic laugh. "I'm meant to be on tour." He said putting his bag down and taking out a envelope. "I came to give this to you." He said handing Finn the envelope.
"What is it?" Finn asked.
"It's a house moron." He said sarcastically. Then he shook his head. "Sorry i think Rachel's bitterness is imprinting on me. But you know i feel bad to betray her like that it's just-"
He saw Finn taking the CD out the envelope and looked at him confused.
"I could of just sent it to you, but i thought me showing up would of meant more." He said smiling. "It's my CD well a demo of most of my songs, well Rachel wrote 7 songs of the album but you need to listen to track 5 and 11, if you still have feelings for her-
"I love her." Finn said in a defensive tone.
"Well if you love her you better hurry up."
"I don't get you." Finn said frowning. "Why are you helping me?"
"Why?" Jessie said with a sarcastic laugh. "Song 11 will tell you all of it i think." He pointed at the CD. "It's the last song she wrote, just a few days before coming back here for graduation. I better go." Jessie said looking at his watch. "Bye." He said walking out the door.
Finn looked at the CD for a few seconds before putting it on and listen to track 11.
It's like, he doesn't hear a word I say
His mind is somewhere far away
And I don't know how to get there
It's like all he wants is to chill out
(She's serious)
He makes me wanna pull all my hair out
(She's always in a rush and interrupted)
Like he doesn't even care
(Like she doesn't even care)
[Demi + Joe:]
You, me
We're face to face
But we don't see eye to eye
Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
You're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
Finn looked at the CD case. He hated what he done to her.
Why does he try to read my mind?
(I try to read her mind)
It's not good to psychoanalyze
(She tries to pick a fight to get attention)
That's what all of my friends say
(That's what all of my friends say)
Finn threw the CD case across the room.
Like fire and rain (Like fire and rain)
You can drive me insane (You can drive me insane)
But I can't stay mad at you for anything
We're Venus and Mars (Venus and Mars)
We're like different stars (like different stars)
but you're the harmony to every song I sing
And I wouldn't change a thing
Finn sat down and felt numb. He couldn't believe his Rachel wrote this. He looked up and saw a picture of them. She looked so beautiful.
When I'm yes, she's no
When I hold on, he just lets go
We're perfectly imperfect
But I wouldn't change a thing,
"That's it!" Finn shouted turning off the CD. "I know what i have to do." He added.
An hour later Finn went looking for Puck and found him.
"Hey bro." Puck said.
"I'm going to California." Finn said holding up the plane ticket. "I'm going to see Rachel."
Puck stopped and looked at Finn with a big smile and nodded. "When are you coming back?"
"I'm not." Finn said seriously.
"No way." Puck said.
"I'll stand in front of her with everything to lose, i will stay their and wait for her to forgive me, i am going to do anything to get her back."
Pucks mouth dropped open.
"Think about this Finn." Puck said realising what his friend was going to do. "Your just giving up on everything, not knowing whats going to happen when your there." Puck said slightly panicking. "Go there first, see how things turn out."
"I love your sister Puck, my dreams don't matter aslong as i have her." He said smiling. "I'll let you know what happens." He said walking away.
"Hey Finn." Puck shouted. Causing Finn to turn around. "Look after her."
Finn smiled. "Oh i will."
