A/N: Thanks once again for all the reviews - and it's lovely to see also so many guests reviewing as well also!
I was planning on keep this chapter under wraps for another few days - but honestly the shitiness that was the ep of Glee that watched, has made me want to get it up earlier.
So therefore my plan to get the 50th chapter posted on the one year of this story - might now go out the window, because I don't think I can hold off the next couple of chapters either in order to achieve that goal. But not to matter, because I have pretty much now got up to that point written, so expect the next couple of updates to be quick!
So here is the chapter that I am sure you have all been waiting for - the reveal of who the baby daddy is!
You all know what to do at the end - review, review, review!
Love, KJ.
Chapter 45 –
Friday afternoon, Rachel and Mikki had met up for a coffee after work, and they were now both heading back to the apartment.
"So you think you will be wanting to find out the sex of the baby when you go for your ultrasound next week?" asked Mikki, as they neared the apartment block.
"I don't know, in a way I would like to maybe know. But there is also something about being surprised as well" replied Rachel.
"I think if I was to become pregnant, I'd want to know" said Mikki.
"So any children on the agenda yet for you and Blaine?" asked Rachel.
"No, but we certainly are trying" replied Mikki with a laugh, as they got to the apartment building and Rachel opened the door to go inside.
"Well hopefully maybe soon, because that way our children can grow up together" said Rachel, as they went over to their mailboxes and opened their apartment ones to get out their mail.
"Yes that would be awesome, and you can find out now if when that happens they will be cousins" said Mikki, seeing that the results from the DNA test were in amongst hers.
Rachel looked at her. "It's here"
"Uh huh" replied Mikki, holding the envelope out to Rachel who took it.
"Okay, wow. Moment of truth" said Rachel.
"Indeed" replied Mikki, as the two of them started up the stairs of the apartment block.
Rachel sighed as the two of them walked up to their apartments.
"Did you want me there with you when you open it?" asked Mikki, as they got to their floor.
Rachel shook her head. "No, I think this is something I need to do on my own"
"Sure, well you know where I am if you need me. And don't forget pizza tonight across the hall" said Mikki.
"Thanks, and I'll be there" said Rachel, as she got her keys out and opened the door of the apartment.
"See you then" replied Mikki, also opening her apartment door and walked inside, closing the door behind herself.
Rachel walked into her apartment, and closed the door. She put all the other mail down on the counter and looked at the envelope with the DNA results in it.
"Here goes nothing" she said and opened it, pulling out the piece of paper in inside it.
Rachel closed her eyes and unfolded the sheet of paper, and took a deep breath before opening them. She read over the results and some tears formed in her eyes, the father of her unborn child now known.

That evening, they were all over at Mikki and Blaine's apartment, minus Rachel who Sam had said was having a rest and would be over later; eating pizza and hearing about the new guy that Brittany had started to see, who she had met when she had gone to talk with Shannon about auditioning for some dance roles, and he too being a hopeful actor/singer/dancer had also been there.
"So when will get to meet him?" asked Puck.
"Yes and give him the third degree to make sure that he is good enough for you" said Blaine.
Brittany looked at them and laughed. "I can see if he is maybe free to meet up tomorrow sometime for a coffee"
"Okay, yeah well let us know" said Sam.
"I will, and I promise you will like Wes he's a really sweet guy" replied Brittany.
The apartment door opened and Rachel, walked into Mikki and Blaine's apartment, she had had a quick sleep since she was feeling a little on the tired side, but now she was feeling refreshed enough to tell the others what the results of the test had said.
"Hi guys" said Rachel, as she closed the door and walked over to the others.
"Oh hey Rach, Sam said you weren't feeling the best" said Mikki.
"Just a little tired that's all" replied Rachel.
"You okay now?" asked Brittany.
"Uh huh" replied Rachel, and looked over to Puck, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Don't let them work you too hard at rehearsals okay, Rach" said Puck, with a laugh.
"I won't" she replied.
Puck nodded. "Well there is a vegie pizza in the oven for you keeping warm" he said, as he and the others ate the pizzas that they had gotten for themselves.
"Can we talk outside for a second?" asked Rachel, as she looked at him.
"What, us?" asked Puck, looking at her.
Rachel nodded.
"Yeah, sure of course" replied Puck, standing from the sofa.
"Balcony" said Rachel.
"Okay" replied Puck and the two of them walked over to the window that lead out to the balcony; with Puck opening the window and the two of them heading outside.
"Is everything okay Rach?" asked Puck, as he closed down the window so that the cold air would not get inside the apartment.
Rachel looked at him and nodded. "Yeah" she replied.
"Actually, everything is great, really great" she added.
"Okay" replied Puck.
"Do you love me Noah?" asked Rachel.
Puck looked at her. "Rach, of course I do you know that. You're one of my best friends".
Rachel nodded. "Okay, well I might as well just tell you this"
"Rach, you're kind of scaring me here" said Puck.
Rachel smiled and took Puck's hand.
"I'm pregnant, Noah" she said.
Puck looked at her, his expression changing to one of complete shock.
"Oh wow, congratulations" he said.
"Noah" said Rachel.
"Look Rach I get it, you're telling me as I am guessing, because you know that the baby is that guy Brody's and you're probably going to be getting back together with him, or at least have him in your life to some degree since it's his kid and I know what it's like to grow up with an absent dad so I would never wish that on anyone" said Puck.
"Noah" said Rachel again with a laugh.
"I hope he knows how lucky of a guy he is, and no matter what I will always be here for you, because even if we can't be together, I will always love you and always be here for you no matter what" said Puck.
"Noah" said Rachel, and then kissed him to stop talking.
"Rach, please don't, this it's already hard enough to hear" replied Puck, breaking away from her.
Rachel looked at him and laughed.
"Can I maybe get a word in here?" she asked.
"Umm sure" replied Puck, looking at her.
Rachel laughed and looked at Puck. "You and your cousin, honestly. You both are just crazy when it comes to being able to go on and on".
Puck looked at her and smiled and gave a laugh as well. "Yeah, I think we got it from our moms" he replied.
Rachel nodded. "Yes I think so"
"So go on then, I will not interrupt anymore" replied Puck.
"Thank you and well if you were to have let me finish before you started your kind of cute ranting, what I didn't get to say the baby isn't Brody's" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her. "Then who's is it?"
"Well there has only been one other guy that I have slept with recently, and that was you" replied Rachel.
Puck looked at her again, still in complete shock but a smile spread over his face.
"You mean, that you're, that it's mine" said Puck.
Rachel nodded.
"But we used condoms" said Puck.
"We did, but we ran out of them after two, and I do remember at least one more time after that" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her. "But can you be sure that it's mine, after all you were with Brody just how long before we did what we did".
"DNA test confirms it is yours" said Rachel.
"Wait, DNA. How the hell did you get my DNA?" asked Puck.
Rachel smiled and pointed inside to where the others were, who were all looking out there way with interest .
Puck glanced in as well, and the four inside turned away from the window.
"You know how Mik and I cleaned up for you that day you and the guys went for a run" said Rachel.
"Yeah, you babysat Jay and cleaned my apartment" said Puck.
Rachel nodded. "Well when Mik said she threw out your toothbrush because it was old, she actually kept it so I could use it as my reference for your DNA"
"And it came back a match" said Puck.
Rachel nodded. "I did a at home DNA paternity test, drew some of my blood and sent that way a long with your DNA".
"And it's mine 100%, mine" said Puck.
"Well the matches are like 99% guaranteed to be accurate, but yeah it's definitely yours and I'm so glad that it is" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her and smiled.
"Are you okay with this? Us having a baby together, even though we're not really a couple?" asked Rachel.
"Rach, I am so okay with this" replied Puck, pulling her in for a hug.
Rachel smiled as he did this.
"And it's going to be the most amazing baby ever, because it has the most amazing mom" said Puck, as he kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"With the best dad ever as well" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her and smiled. "I love you Rach".
"I love you too Noah" replied Rachel and Puck kissed her.
They broke away from one another and looked at the others inside, who were all again looking to the outside again.
"Do they not have a television in there they can be watching instead of us" said Puck, with a laugh.
Rachel laughed also.
"Come on let's go tell them" said Rachel, taking his hand and going to head back inside.
"Do we need to be telling them though, I mean I'm guessing they know already" said Puck.
"Mikki, yes" replied Rachel, with a small smile.
"And Mik would have told Blaine" said Puck.
Rachel nodded. "And Britts also knows as well, she was out for lunch with me and Mikki, when Mikki realised that I was pregnant".
"And Sam" said Puck, with a laugh.
"Doesn't know, but he might suspect something since I have thrown up a few times over the last couple of weeks" said Rachel.
"So I'm one of the last to know" said Puck.
"Yes, but I needed to be sure that it was your baby. You understand that, right" said Rachel.
"Of course I do my sweet princess" said Puck, and quickly kissed her again.
Rachel smiled at the term of endearment that Puck had always called her when they were together.
"Yeah, let's get back inside. Because I know that if we don't soon, our friends are probably going to be at the window trying to hear what we are saying" said Rachel with a laugh.
Puck laughed and opened the window and the two of them climbed back through, Puck going first and then helping Rachel back through and then closing the window behind them, the two of them proceeding to tell the others the good news that they now had.

Back inside the apartment, the other four looked out to the balcony where Puck and Rachel now were.
"You think that is about the thing" said Blaine, knowing from what Mikki had told him that Rachel had gotten the results today.
Mikki nodded as they looked out the window and saw Rachel kiss Puck.
"Okay what the.." said Sam, as he looked outside and then to his friends inside.
"I think it's good news" said Brittany, with a smile.
"Here's hoping" said Mikki with a nod.
"What is going on?" asked Sam, looking at his friends, none of them saying anything.
Sam sighed and they all looked out to the balcony, and saw Puck kiss Rachel on the top of the head, and then the two of them proceeding to actually kiss properly after that.
"I am going with it's definitely good news" said Blaine, with a laugh, as outside Rachel and Puck pulled away from one another and looked inside to see the others looking out.
"Busted" said Mikki, with a laugh, as the four of them turned away.
"Okay can someone please tell me what in the world is going on here" said Sam, as they heard the window open again and Rachel and Puck make their way back into the apartment.
Puck closed down the window and Rachel made her way over to the others.
"Well tell us. Don't keep us hanging here" said Brittany, looking at Rachel as she sat down and Puck went over to the oven and got the small vegetarian pizza out.
Rachel looked at Puck as he walked over and sat down on the sofa next to her, placing her pizza on the table as he did and then taking her hand, giving her a smile.
Rachel smiled back at him and then grabbed a slice of pepperoni pizza, taking a bite out of it.
"Rach that's got meat on it" said Sam.
"I know that" replied Rachel, as she chewed.
"Pepperoni huh?" asked Puck, with a laugh.
Rachel looked at him and laughed. "Yes, I blame you for making me want to eat this stuff"
"Are you pregnant?" asked Sam, looking at Rachel.
Rachel looked at her other friends, who smiled knowingly and then looked at Sam. "Yes Sam, I am pregnant"
"What?" asked Sam, with a laugh.
"Test confirmed it and now also a DNA test has confirmed that Puck is the father" said Rachel.
"Okay wow" replied Sam, in shock trying to fathom the news that he was in the process of hearing.
"Yeah it's definitely that" said Puck.
"Okay, you three don't seem that shocked" said Sam, looking to Mikki, Blaine and Brittany.
"That's cause we kind of knew already" said Blaine.
"Although we were not knowing on the part that it was Puck's, however we were certainly hopefully that it was" said Mikki.
"I can't believe you guys didn't tell me" said Sam.
"I asked them not too. And it's only because I forgot that I left my pregnancy test here in Mikki and Blaine's apartment that it was found out" said Rachel.
"And have Blaine think that I was the one who was pregnant" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"I'm sorry for that" said Rachel, with a smile at her friend.
"No problem, I'm sure one day we will be" said Blaine.
"Hmm and for now, we will let you two enjoy the fact that soon you are going to be parents together" said Mikki.
"I really can't believe this is happening" said Puck.
Rachel turned and looked at him. "But you're in it with me aren't you?"
"Forever" replied Puck, kissing her and then the six of them sat around talking about now how all their lives were going to considerably change in the not too distant future.
End Note: So there you have it - the baby is definitely a Puckerman! As if I would have it be Brody's! LOL! Couldn't stand Dean Geyer before he was on Glee and was on tv in Australia, so there was no way in any way, shape or form that he would be the baby daddy.
So what does this mean now for Rachel and Puck - and what will come of their relationship. For that you will have to keep on reading! :)
And as for adding in Wes, to be Brittany's beau of the moment - considering know that Telly is a good stage actor, thought it was an interesting twist to take for Brittany to date someone not at all like her.
I do have to say now that, I am only following a very small part of the FRIENDS storyline, and that I am now going off the path a little as I found the later seasons to be more filler then anything.
So keep reading to see how that works out!
I don't know if everyone has heard this - and me being a superhero geek most certainly has mixed feelings about it. But Melissa Benoist has been cast as Supergirl/Kara Zor-El for the new tv series based on the superhero.
I am a stickler for them keeping it kind of real and not going to much off the known path for superheros - and they better not make the Supergirl costume any form of pink like I have seen now around for young girls, because that will annoy me more than anything. (Just like how in the last Superman movie, them getting rid of the red underpants - seriously that is what makes Supes just Supes, the red undies over the tights! And the movie just also sucked on so many other levels as well, that I couldn't even sit through more than half of it!)
So it will be interesting to see at the very least how this is done - I do admire that Melissa has got the hell away from Murphy and wish her nothing but luck with this. And it's interesting when you think that Grant also to was on Glee and is also playing a DC superhero as well. Maybe we will see a cross ep - and a musical one at that, LOL! Stranger things have happened in the superhero world! :)
Anyway next chapter will be up soon, until then.
Love KJ xoxoxoxoxo
