A/N: Again thank you so much for the reviews, faves and follows on this story.
The support for this story is just astounding me!
I have at the moment, planned out about 30 chapters for this - so that I can know where I am heading with this story, and hopefully will be able to avoid any continuity errors (that Glee seems to be so famous for!)
Thanks as well for the suggestion for baby names. The poll is now up and running, so please go to my profile in order to cast your votes.
This story is quickly becoming one of my faves to write - and since the songs are out for the 101st ep - I thought I would give you all a new chapter!
In regards to the reviews that I got.
There were quite a few interesting suggestions made in the reviews, like possibly having it that Brittany has a twin - paralleling the show. And this is an idea I was already toying with already, and I think I have got the perfect way to make this happen, and like the reviewer said, have her somewhat friends with the others, but not a main part - is what I was thinking. And the idea that I am having, plays into a major ark for the characters a little down the track as well!
And I certainly don't plan on dragging out the end games as long as they were on the show - I think there were eps after a certain point that just really seemed kind of pointless in the show and there were a lot of plot lines that I found weird as well, so they will be things that I will not be using in anyway at all in my story.
And to answer one of the main questions asked will this be Puckleberry? Well it won't play out for 10 years - that's for sure!
However it won't be smooth for them that's for sure. So given that, I say it will probably be half the time that this story takes to complete in time span.
And mainly because the age where I have the characters at this moment in time;
Puck and Blaine : 26
Mikki and Rachel : 25
Brittany: 27
Sam : 24
I'm trying not to have the show influence my story too much, because as I said it is just a premise for the idea. And you will see this as more plays out.
Also as well - there will be other Glee characters popping up, in minor roles.
Mainly because I think it's kind of fun, to see them written in a different way and also it means I have to spend less time developing new characters as such - the visual in my head is already there basically!
(One is already actually in the story - hint it's the person I refer to at the moment as the waiter of the coffee shop. Any guesses as to who people think this could be!? It's kind of paralleling the show, but then again it's me, so there is a slight twist on the plot there!)
There is also going to be some time jumps, mainly so the story doesn't drag along.
This is also important, because I need to do this in order for the story line to move along at the pace required.
However they will always be mentioned in the story when there is a jump.
But that is quite enough in the rambles from me! Enjoy the chapter and please review - and if you haven't already definitely fave or follow! And remember as always keep the reviews nice!
Love to you all, KJ xoxoxo
Chapter 3.
Monday afternoon, Puck went running down the corridor of the hospital where Santana was having her ultrasound done, after having found out from the girl on reception where the room was.
He opened the door and saw Santana lying on the bed with a gown already on and Dani pacing up and down.
"Sorry, I'm late. The subway was running late" said Puck.
"That's fine, where still waiting for the doctor to get here" said Santana. Puck nodded.
"Okay, well hopefully he shouldn't be too much longer" said Puck.
"She" said Dani. Puck looked at her.
"She, of course" he replied, with a laugh.
Dani glared at him. "Why are you here?" asked Puck.
"Because the woman I love is having a baby" replied Dani.
Puck looked at her. "You know I don't really care about that right now, but this is kind of something special which should just be between me and Santana" said Puck.
"What you think just because you gave up the sperm for this kid, that it makes you more important than me" said Dani.
"Well you weren't there during the baby making process, so I say that makes you not as" said Puck.
"Oh sweetie, I'm sure I was on Santana's mind when you were doing your stuff. How do you she reached her climax" said Dani.
Puck glared at her.
"Guys enough, you're both going to be an important part in this baby's life" said Santana.
Dani walked over to Santana and kissed her on the forehead.
"You're right, we shouldn't be arguing" she replied and looked at Puck.
"Fine, I guess we can all love baby Puckerman equally" said Puck.
"It's going to be Lopez Sanchez" said Santana.
"Excuse me?" asked Puck, looking at her.
"Lopez Sanchez" said Santana, pointing to herself and then Dani.
"What. No. She doesn't get to have her surname attached to my kid" said Puck.
"And why not, I'm going to be one of their moms" said Dani.
Puck looked at her.
"Look I'm fine with whatever it is you want to call yourself, but there is no way my child is not going to have my surname" said Puck.
"Oh and what you want the kid to have the name Puckerman, and yet grow up with people with different surnames" said Dani.
"Ideally no, but if you have to have your name there, it should be Puckerman Lopez Sanchez" said Puck.
"That sounds wanky, Puck. No" said Santana, looking at her ex.
Dani looked at him and scoffed. "Sanny, you see what he's trying to do there right" said Dani.
Santana looked at her.
"No" she replied.
"If his surname is first, then what name are they likely to call the baby. Puckerman" said Dani.
"Nice try" she said, looking at him.
"Yeah well when you have your own baby, you can name it whatever the hell you want" said Puck.
"Noah" said Santana, getting now rather annoyed with her ex.
"You know what, forget it. Obviously you don't want me here, her especially" said Puck, pointing to Dani, who just smirked at him.
"So I'll go" said Puck as the door opened and the doctor walked in.
"Hi all, how we all doing today?" she asked.
"We're doing okay" replied Santana as Puck went to walk out of the room.
The doctor nodded and went over to the ultrasound machine and turned it on, picking up the probe.
"Okay, so just pull up the gown and lie back, and we'll take a look here" said the doctor, squirting the gel on to Santana's abdomen and then placing the probe on to it.
The sound of a heartbeat filled the room.
"Oh wow" said Dani. Puck turned from the door that he was just about to exit and looked at the monitor.
"Is that" said Puck.
The doctor nodded. "Uh huh, that's your baby's heartbeat" said the doctor.
Puck walked over to the bed and stood next to Dani and kissed Santana on the forehead.
"We made that" said Santana, looking at Puck with a smile.
"Yeah" replied Puck, just looking at the screen in awe.
"Is everything okay?" asked Dani.
The doctor looked at her and nodded.
"Everything looks and appears to be healthy and on track. Yes" she replied.
"I can't believe that's my baby" said Puck, with a smile, and the doctor carried on with the ultrasound.

That same night, Puck headed around to Mikki's apartment, having called up her and all his friends to come over to there to watch the video of the ultrasound, and they were still waiting for him to arrive.
Blaine was sitting in one of the chairs with his guitar and was trying to work out some music on it.
"Do you write music?" asked Rachel, sitting on the sofa.
Blaine looked at her.
"Yeah, it's nothing great but" he replied.
"Oh I'm sure that's not true" said Rachel. Blaine looked at her and smiled.
"No it is, I've heard some of the stuff he's come up with and he's right it's not great" replied Mikki, sitting on the sofa as well.
Blaine glared at her and then looked at Rachel. "Do you play any instruments?" asked Blaine.
Rachel shook her head. "Only sing" she replied.
"You really should do open mic night on Friday then" said Blaine.
"I'd like to but there is no point if I can't play an instrument" said Rachel.
"Well I could play for you. I also play piano and that's stored out the back of the coffee shop in the storage room, and they bring it out on open mic night" said Blaine.
"And they also have the song bank as well, with an amazing amount of songs on there in instrumental form" said Mikki.
"Yeah it's called karaoke and it's all you know how to do" said Blaine.
Mikki glared at him. "I can play the piano, you know that you dick" she replied.
"Chopsticks is not playing the piano, a kid can play that" replied Blaine.
"Okay. Well I think open mic night and the whole having the song bank there as well sounds great" said Rachel, stepping in to stop the bickering between Mikki and Blaine.
Mikki looked at her now roommate. "Yeah, we should do a song together, it will be like old times in the Glee club" said Mikki with a laugh.
Rachel nodded. "Is your mom still running it?" she asked.
"Uh huh, and still winning too; she will be running it to the day they move her out in a wheelchair kicking and screaming" said Mikki. Rachel laughed.
"Do you still talk to anyone from those days?" asked Rachel.
"Artie occasionally and also Puck, of course; as well as the girls from high school and also Brian and Joey" replied Mikki.
"I lost contact with practically everyone; I only knew you were here in New York, because of the few times that we'd talked on Facebook, when I found you on there and you said where you were living here" said Rachel.
"Hmm" said Mikki, with a nod, as the door to the apartment opened and Puck walked in along with Sam and also Brittany.
"I come bearing Chinese food and also a first look at my kid" said Puck going over to the sofa and placing the bags of take out on the coffee table.
"I umm, don't eat Chinese food. I'm a vegan" said Rachel.
"You eat tofu right" said Puck.
"Yeah" replied Rachel, looking at him.
Puck nodded. "Mik mentioned something when I told her what I was getting for dinner and also I remember last night you had that vegan pizza" said Puck.
"Thank you" said Rachel, as Sam came over to them with a bottle of water for them each.
"So dig in guys" he said, going over to Mikki's DVD player.
"Are the boxes marked what is what?" asked Mikki.
"Yes, I think they know us well enough down there now to know to mark the boxes" said Puck with a laugh as he put the disc into the player.
"Yeah, once a week is bad. I think we have an addiction" said Brittany, as she got the boxes out and gave each of them the orders that they liked.
"You get Chinese once a week" said Rachel.
"Yeah it's like a thing we've had going for a while now" said Sam.
"I thought last night was a like a thing, the pizza" said Rachel.
"Nope, that's an only an occasional thing. Chinese however, every week no matter what" said Blaine, as he grabbed an egg roll.
Puck sat down on the sofa next to Mikki and grabbed the remote control and pressed play for the DVD player and the ultrasound came up.
"Wow is that your kid?" asked Sam.
"Yep, that's them" replied Puck, picking up the box of Chinese food that was his.
"What exactly are we looking at?" asked Blaine, looking at the screen.
"Okay you see that white part that is kind of moving. That's the baby" said Puck.
"It doesn't really look much like a baby" said Brittany.
"Well no, but that's because Santana is what like eight weeks" said Mikki.
"Nine" replied Puck, with a nod.
"You know it kind of looks like it could be from one of those alien movies" said Blaine, tilting his head slightly.
"My kid is not an alien" said Puck.
"Hey it's mother is Santana, it could come out being the devil for all we know" said Blaine, with a laugh. Puck laughed as did Mikki, Sam and Brittany, but Rachel wasn't sure of the joke since she hadn't met Santana.
"Well here's hoping that is not the case" said Puck.
"With you there, it would be like a mini Chucky baby. Creepy" said Mikki, with a shudder.
Puck looked at his cousin and laughed.
"You'd totally bond then" said Puck and Mikki poked her tongue out at him.
"It is pretty amazing Puck" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her. "Thanks Rachel" he replied and the six of them sat watching the ultrasound DVDsome more and eating the Chinese food.

Later that night, Rachel had gone to her bedroom that she was using in the apartment to some more organizing of her stuff.
Puck was sitting at the table in the kitchen area, staring at the photo from the ultrasound, still finding it hard to believe that he was going to be a father; and Mikki, Blaine Sam and Brittany were sitting around the coffee table playing Scrabble, which was one of the many board games that Mikki had in her collection.
"Okay so that is twenty and also double word score, so that makes it forty all up" said Mikki, writing on her score card.
"That is not a word" said Blaine, looking at the one that Mikki had played.
"Yeah it is" replied Mikki.
Oxymoron is not a word" said Blaine.
Mikki looked at him. "Well I could have just played the M,O and R on the 'ON' and got moron which would be fitting for you, since you are one" said Mikki.
Blaine glared at her and Sam and Brittany laughed slightly as Rachel walked out of her room.
"But I also had O X and Y, so oxymoron" said Mikki.
"Guys help me out here" said Blaine, looking at his friends. Rachel walked over to them and looked at the board.
"No, Mikki's right that is a word" said Rachel.
"I don't believe that" said Blaine, grabbing his phone and going to the dictionary app on it that he had on there to check.
Rachel laughed and walked over to where Puck was and Mikki shook her head at Blaine.
"How come you're not playing?" asked Rachel, looking at Puck.
Puck looked at her. "Well game for four, and also my cousin is kind of competitive".
"Damn it" yelled Blaine, having found out that Mikki's word was indeed a word.
"Told you Anderson" said Mikki.
Oh shut up" replied Blaine.
Puck shook his head at his cousin and best friends carry on and Rachel laughed.
"Hmm, well maybe one day I will have to challenge Mikki" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her.
"I use to play Scrabble with my dad's all the time when in high school. They said it was good way to expand my vocabulary" said Rachel.
"Well maybe I can play also and we can hopefully beat my cocky cousin" said Puck, louder enough for Mikki to hear.
"I heard that Puckerman" said Mikki, from where she was and Rachel and he both laughed.
"Yeah that be good" said Rachel, looking at Puck.
Puck nodded as Rachel sat down at the table with him and gave a chuckle.
"You know I actually suggested to Jesse once, when we weren't doing much that we play scrabble, and he told me to go to my phone and he told me that we could play that one connected to Facebook" said Rachel.
"Yeah, know the one you mean. It's okay but kind of takes the fun out of it, as you have to wait sometimes for days for a person to play back a word" said Puck.
Rachel nodded. "I would hate to think what he would suggest if I said play Monopoly".
Puck laughed and stood up from the table. "You have to check this out then" he said, walking over to the closet located near the bathroom and window to the outside balcony.
Rachel stood a followed him, as Puck opened the closet.
"Board games galore" he said.
"Wow" said Rachel, looking at the vast amount of board games in there; ranging from Twister to Operation and to various versions of Monopoly.
Mikki from over where she was, looked at them.
"Keep away from my games Puck, I know exactly every game in there" said Mikki.
"Yeah, yeah alright" said Puck, closing the door with a laugh.
"Rach, feel free to play any though" said Mikki.
"Thanks" she replied and Blaine groaned frustratedly from over where the others were.
"I do not have any tiles to make a word" he said.
"You can forfeit then" said Mikki.
"Oh you'd like that, wouldn't you" replied Blaine.
Mikki didn't reply, instead she just smiled at him.
"I will come up with something" said Blaine, looking at his tiles again.
"Oy vey" said Mikki as Sam and Brittany laughed.
"Did you want to go outside to talk, so we don't have to listen to these knuckleheads?" asked Puck, pulling up the window to the balcony.
"Umm sure okay" replied Rachel.
Puck nodded and climbed through and then helped Rachel out, pulling down the window after her. Rachel looked at him.
"Don't worry we can get back in. Just Mik will kill me if I let a draft in" said Puck.
Rachel nodded. "It's really beautiful out here" she said, going over to the edge of the balcony and looking over the skyline of New York.
"Yep and from here, you can see right into my empty lonely apartment" said Puck.
Rachel looked at him and smiled sadly. "How you doing with everything?" she asked.
"Doing okay" replied Puck, looking at her.
"Really?" asked Rachel.
Puck didn't say anything.
"I mean you're about to become a father, with your ex-wife who is a lesbian" said Rachel.
"Yeah" replied Puck, with a laugh.
"What did you mom say about that?" asked Rachel.
"Well she was never fond of Santana, found her kind of mouthy" said Puck.
"I wouldn't know, as I don't actually know her" said Rachel.
"Yeah, well Ma was always telling me that I should have found a nice sweet Jewish girl" said Puck.
Rachel looked at him.
"She would have loved it if I bought someone like you home" said Puck, with a laugh.
Rachel blushed and looked over the skyline to hide her slightly reddening cheeks.
"What about you, you doing okay?" asked Puck.
"Yeah, I'm doing okay" replied Rachel.
Puck nodded. "So how you meet that Jesse dude?".
"Umm at my first year of NYADA" replied Rachel, looking at him.
"Was he always a player or did that come later?" asked Puck.
"I don't know maybe he was and I just never saw it. Maybe I was just so focused on my career and wanting to be out there on the stage, that I didn't see him for who he was" said Rachel.
Puck nodded. "How long were you and him together?".
"Well we met when I was eighteen, and we were friends for a bit and then started dating our second year of NYADA. So, all up I was with him for six years, we lived together for three and were engaged for two" said Rachel.
"Hmm I was with Santana about the same amount of time. Met in college eight years ago, got together five years ago and married three years ago when we came to New York together" said Puck.
Rachel nodded and looked into the apartment at the other four still playing Scrabble, and from the looks of the way they were sitting around, still waiting on Blaine to play a word.
Rachel laughed. "And you and Blaine met at college, he said something yesterday about that" said Rachel.
Puck nodded. "Yeah U of M, Ann Arbor. We were roommates our freshman year and we became good buds. He's a great guy" said Puck.
"Your cousin seems to beg to differ there though" said Rachel, with a laugh.
Puck laughed also. "Yeah, they've sort of always been like that since they met, teasing one another and all".
Rachel nodded.
"When Mik first moved to New York. Blaine was actually living here, in what's now your room" said Puck.
"Really?" asked Rachel.
"Yeah and when the apartment across the hall became available and Mikki was thinking of applying for it. Blaine said she could stay here instead and he'd move in there, and it could become his bachelor pad" said Puck.
Rachel laughed. "And has it?"
"Nah, he's not a player. He's had a few girlfriends, nothing serious though. And he's not into one nighters" said Puck.
"So how come you and Santana moved out then?" asked Rachel.
Puck looked at her. "Well I'd rather if we moved then Mikki. Because at least here, I knew she'd be safe having Blaine and Sam across the hall from her".
"It's sweet how you still look out for her" said Rachel.
"Well she's family and I promised Aunt Midge and Uncle Eric, that I'd keep an eye on her and I'm not about to break that promise" said Puck.
Rachel smiled and rubbed her hands up her arms.
"Are you cold? Did you want to head back inside?" asked Puck.
"Sure" replied Rachel.
Puck went over to the window and pulled it back open.
"If you ever want to talk Puck, I'm here as well" said Rachel, going over to the window.
Puck looked at her and gave her a smile. "Thanks Rach, that means a lot".
Rachel nodded and Puck climbed back inside and then helped her back in.
"Thanks" said Rachel as Puck closed the window and Blaine let out a resounding "Aha" and started to place tile on to the Scrabble board, using the Y from Mikki's word.
"Finally" said Brittany as Mikki came up from her lying position on the ground.
The three of them looked at the word, that Blaine had played.
"Is that even a word?" asked Sam.
"Yeah what is 's' 'yota'" said Mikki, sounding it out.
"Syota, and that's eight points" said Blaine, going to write on his score card.
"Whoa hold it" said Brittany.
Blaine looked at her. "What?"
"None of us have ever heard that word before" said Brittany.
"Challenge" said Sam.
Blaine groaned as Mikki grabbed her phone and typed the word into the dictionary on there.
"It's not in here" said Mikki, shaking her head.
"Okay, so take off the tiles Blainey" said Brittany.
"Guys, come on. It is a word" said Blaine.
"Oh don't lie, you're just making up words and hoping not to get caught out on it" said Mikki.
"It's Tagalog" said Blaine.
"A what a log?" asked Brittany.
"Tagalog, Filipino. It means sweetheart" replied Blaine.
"Dude, you can't use words from there" said Sam.
"Yeah, they have to be English" said Brittany.
"Fine, I forfeit then" said Blaine, removing the tiles he had placed.
"Haha, the half Filipino hobbit is out" said Mikki.
Blaine glared at her. "Can you not call me that?".
"What?" asked Mikki. "Half Filipino or hobbit?"
"Both, it's really insulting" said Blaine.
"Well you are half Filipino and you're short like a hobbit, so it kind of fits" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"Don't see me calling you should be Jew, but is Catholic because mom married a Catholic, mouse" said Blaine.
Mikki just glared at him.
"You know what I'm just going to go" said Blaine standing from his spot on the floor.
"See you tomorrow Britts" he said.
"Yeah" she replied.
Blaine walked over to the apartment door, opening it and looked at Puck and Rachel. "Bye guys" he said.
"Yeah bye" replied Rachel.
"See you man" said Puck.
Blaine nodded and left the apartment, closing it behind him.
"You know I should get going too" said Brittany.
"Same" said Sam, as the two of them stood up.
"So I win by forfeit, awesome" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"You win because you pissed off Blaine and he left and now it's boring" said Sam.
"Yeah, go a bit easier on the guy huh Mik" said Puck.
Mikki looked at him. "When he stops being mean to me, I'll stop being mean to him".
Puck shook his head and went over to her. "I mean it".
Mikki looked at him and sighed. "Fine".
Puck nodded and kissed her on the top of the head. "'kay, I'll call you tomorrow".
"Yeah" she replied.
"Night" said Puck.
"Yeah night" replied Mikki.
"See you girls later" said Sam.
"Yeah bye Sam" said Rachel.
Mikki just gave him a wave and Brittany also.
"Bye Rachey" said Brittany.
Rachel laughed. "Yeah night Brittany" she replied.
Puck, Sam and Brittany went to leave the apartment.
"See you Rach, and thanks for listening" said Puck.
"Sure, and same with you. Bye" she replied.
"Bye" replied Puck, the three of the leaving the apartment.
Rachel went over to where Mikki was packing up the Scrabble game.
"So, what were you and my cousin talking about out there?" asked Mikki, looking at her as Rachel started to help putting the tiles back in the box.
"Just stuff" replied Rachel.
"Stuff?" asked Mikki.
Rachel nodded.
"Come on Rach, you can tell me" said Mikki.
"Really, it was just stuff" she replied.
Mikki looked at her as she put the lid on the Scrabble box.
"You know, I know you use to have a crush on him in high school" said Mikki.
Rachel looked at her and blushed.
"Didn't all the girls, though?" asked Rachel.
"Uh no hello, he's my cousin" said Mikki.
"Well of course not you. But all the other girls did" said Rachel.
Mikki just looked at her.
"I mean he was on the football team, and he had a really nice singing voice. What wasn't to like" said Rachel.
"Hmm, well to me he's just Puck, who use to threaten to cut the head off my dolls, when I asked him to play with me" said Mikki.
Rachel laughed. "I guess that's family for you".
"Yeah" replied Mikki, as she went over to the closet and put the game back in it.
"Anyway I'm going to turn in. So, umm night" said Rachel.
"Yeah night" replied Mikki as Rachel went to her room.
Mikki laughed to herself as she headed to her own room to sleep, wondering if Rachel's high school crush might be returning.
"Stranger things have happened" she said and the headed off to bed herself.
End Note: For those who are curious - I have put to my Tumblr - the floor plans of the apartments from FRIENDS; which is how I see the apartments in my head as I write (as said I am a very visual person) and also so you can see the layout as well also and know how the apartments look.
And if you never watched FRIENDS, then it's probably a good idea!
Also if you head over to Tumblr I have a post on there, and that is a more detailed back line to this story, it will give you more insight as to how Puck and Mikki are related, what I said about the religion of the two of them in this story and also a lot of other things.
This is going to save long notes and the start and end of the chapters as well.
And also as well, I might post some tidbits & teasers of my other Glee stories that I have on my computer as well - the ones listed in the profile!
Drop me a review or PM on here, and let me know if you do. (Or even on Tumblr if you have an account)
Would love to know if people are using this other way of finding out more about my stories.
Anyway, once again thanks for all the love on this story, and hopefully will be back up soon with more!
Enjoy the next ep of Glee - and I will be watching it too, shortly after it airs in the US (it will be Wednesday night here!)
Until the next time, KJ xxx
