A/N:
Thank you so much for all the reviews on the last chapter - glad that people enjoyed it so much.
In regards to what someone said about Sam, there will be a storyline for him coming up soon. I just at the time didn't want to have too many things going on in the story.

Been feeling in a down mood again lately (hence my updating earlier than planned too), and once again it has to do with certain people in my life who decided to use me until they found I was no longer useful or needed. One of whom who still has some of my old textbooks that I lent them to use, but has told me that I am not allowed to contact them again, because I dared to call them out of their atrocious behaviour towards me and actually stand up for myself because I have just got to a point in life where I am sick and fed up with people thinking that they can say whatever they want and do whatever they want, without thinking about how it could possibly affect someone else. (and she the nerve to tell me I need therapy apparently because heaven forbid standing up to those who have continuially put you down means I have a problem! When they are the ones who need to be taking a hard long look at their lives and seeing what is to make them act this way and think it's okay to use another human being!)

I try and not let my angst and hurt not seep into my writing, and thankfully these next few chapters have been written, so they won't be that. But having to distance myself from writing at least a few days, because otherwise it will turn into something I don't want any of my stories to be, and that is depressing and also mean and hurtful and that is just not the type of writer I like to be.

Anyway enough about my depressing life - posting new chapters of stuff will make me feel better.
You all know what to do at the end, review please! Because it will make me smile! And smiles mean happy, and happy means I can write more!
Love,
KJ xxx

Chapter 46 –

Rachel walked into rehearsals for My Fair Lady, a little later than she was meant to get there because she had had another extremely bad bout of morning sickness. Although this time she didn't have to go running across the hall to Blaine and Mikki's apartment and risk seeing anyone in the shower, and could instead use the bathroom in her and Sam's apartment.

Sam had been extremely sweet and caring since he found out that his roommate was expecting a baby, and had willingly sat with her making sure she was okay until she finished being sick.

Rachel walked into the spacious rehearsal studio and could see that the cast was already in the middle of a run through with her understudy in the lead role for the time being.

"You're late, and I don't like people who are late" said Dakota Stanley, storming over to her.

"I'm sorry, I was a little sick this morning" said Rachel.

"Sick, no. You cannot be sick. You will not be sick" said Dakota.

Rachel looked at him.

"Now hurry up and put your bag down and get into position for Cassie" said Dakota.

"Umm, well actually I needed to talk with you about something" said Rachel.

"It can wait. Hurry, hurry" said Dakota, clapping his hands.

"No" said Rachel.

"Did you just tell me no, little girl?" asked Dakota, as the rest of the cast looked over to them having all stopped to see what was happening.

"Yes, and that's because I needed to tell you that I can no longer be a part of this show" said Rachel.

"You want out" said Dakota, with a laugh.

"I do" replied Rachel.

Dakota laughed. "Oh no, you have a contract, and you are going to be doing this lead role"

"I can't though, not anymore" said Rachel.

"Are you sick or dying, because to me you look fine. And you would need to be on your death bed in order to get out of this musical" said Dakota.

"I'm pregnant" replied Rachel.

"Pregnant. You went and got yourself knocked up" said Dakota.

"It wasn't planned, but I am in fact pregnant. And therefore I can't be continuing with the show as I will soon be showing" said Rachel.

"Get out" said Dakota, pointing towards the studio doors.

"Excuse me?" asked Rachel.

"Are you hard of hearing as well, as being knocked up?" asked Dakota.

Rachel shook her head.

"Good. I said get out" said Dakota.

"I'm sorry, really I am, sorry" said Rachel, and went to leave.

"Your agent will be hearing about this and everyone in town will know just what kind of person Rachel Berry is. You may be a Tony winner, but that doesn't mean that you can just flake on a show with only a month left before opening night" said Dakota.

Rachel turned back to Dakota and looked at him. "I already spoke with my agent and she said I should be the one to tell you myself that I could no longer continue. And I thought I was doing the right thing by being honest with you as to why, and since I am being that I will also say this; you are an evil little man, with a really mean personality and I hope this show fails, because with you at the helm of it, it most certainly will" replied Rachel, and then turned and walked out of the rehearsal studio for My Fair Lady for the last time.

That afternoon, Rachel was sitting in the coffee shop with the others; the brunette having just told him that she was now no longer working in the musical.

"So you're as of now not working on My Fair Lady" said Brittany.

Rachel looked at her friend and shook her head. "No, and until this baby is at least two years old. I don't see myself going back on stage anytime soon"

"Really?" asked Mikki, looking at her friend.

"Yes, I want my child to know it's mother and not be handed off to some nanny or even have it see Noah more than it does me" said Rachel.

"Are you sure this is what you want though. You're going to be giving up on your dreams" said Puck.

Rachel looked at him. "And who says that this isn't my dream, being with you, having a child with you"

Puck looked at her and smiled and then kissed her.

"Okay if this is going to become a common thing among you two, then I have to say keep the PDA's to a minimum. It's bad enough we have to be putting up with Blaine and Mikki being all cute, so we definitely don't need if with you two as well" said Sam.

"If I want to kiss the mother of my baby I damn well will Evans" said Puck, looking over to him.

"And you're still able to come with me to the ultrasound appointment tomorrow?" asked Rachel, looking at Puck.

"Just try and stop me" he replied, with a smile.

"So you finally get to see them, huh?" asked Blaine.

Rachel looked at him and nodded. "We do, and I can't wait" she replied, giving Puck a smile; and the six friends continued to talk with one another.

That same night Mikki and Blaine were sitting at home, watching something on television. Mikki grabbed the remote control when advertisements came on and muted the television.

"Something the matter?" asked Blaine, looking at her.

Mikki looked at him and kissed him. "No" she replied, shaking her head.

"Okay then" replied Blaine with a laugh.

"Just something Rachel said the other week to me" said Mikki.

"And that was?" asked Blaine.

"How'd it be nice if we had children kind of close in age, that could maybe grow up together" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her. "So you're suggesting that we seriously start trying to have a baby then"

"Yeah, I mean we've obviously been trying, but I think maybe we should really start trying" said Mikki, kissing him.

"Well you don't have to convince me" replied Blaine.

"So you think you're ready to become a dad and all that?" asked Mikki.

"Yeah of course, and as long as you're sure you're ready to be a mom" said Blaine.

"I am" replied Mikki, with a nod.

Blaine grabbed the remote control and turned off the television. "Well what are we waiting for"

Mikki laughed as Blaine stood up, taking her hand and the two of them went to their bedroom to at least try and maybe hopefully also become parents as well.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

The next day Puck had like he promised, took the day off from work to go to the ultrasound with Rachel.

They had gotten print outs of their baby for both of their parents, and also friends as well; and they were now sitting in TGIF's, after Rachel had declared that she was hungry and really needed a burger.

Rachel was in the midst of eating an All American Stacked Burger, obviously very much enjoying it from the look on her face and Puck couldn't help but laugh.

"What?" asked Rachel, looking up at him, speaking with her mouth half full.

"I just never thought I would see the day I would witness Rachel Berry eat a meat burger" replied Puck.

"Yes, well you are partially to blame for this you know. I can't believe I am eating it also, but it's so good" replied Rachel, as she took another bite.

Puck laughed. "You have a little" said Puck, pointing to his face to indicate to Rachel where she had on hers a bit of sauce.

"Huh?" asked Rachel.

"Sauce right here" said Puck, leaning over and wiping it from the corner of her mouth.

"Oh" replied Rachel, with a laugh and Puck went to grab a napkin to wipe his finger on, but Rachel put down her burger, grabbed Puck's hand and licked the sauce off it.

Puck looked at it and with a wide expression. "Give a guy a little warning when you're going to do that"

"What didn't you approve?" asked Rachel, as she picked up her burger again.

"No, I definitely approve, but damn, a little warning so I don't end up in a bad situation wouldn't go astray" said Puck.

Rachel laughed as she took a bite of her burger. "I will remember that for next time"

"So there will be a next time" said Puck, as he picked up his own burger a Classic Cheeseburger and took a bite.

"If you're lucky" replied Rachel, with a smile.

"So there was actually something I wanted to ask you" said Puck, as Rachel grabbed some of the loaded potato skins and ate those.

"What?" asked Rachel, as she put the potato in her mouth and chewed.

"I was maybe thinking you would like to move in with me?" asked Puck.

"Move in to your apartment?" asked Rachel.

Puck nodded. "I know we aren't together or anything and I get that you might not be wanting to sleep together. But if that's the case, I can totally take the couch and you can have my bed, so you will be more comfortable. It's just that I kind of want to be around you and our baby as much as I can, I didn't get to experience that with Santana and the whole pregnancy thing, and I felt like I missed out on so much" said Puck.

Rachel laughed.

"What's so funny?" asked Puck.

"Nothing, it's just like I said the other night. You and Mikki sure are the masters of the long sentences" replied Rachel.

Puck laughed. "Yeah"

"And to answer your question, I think that it's a good idea" said Rachel.

"Really?" asked Puck.

"Yes, really" replied Rachel.

"Okay umm so we can start moving your stuff over on the weekend then" said Puck.

"Okay" replied Rachel.

"Yeah" said Puck.

"And Noah, you don't have to sleep on the couch. You can have the bed as well" said Rachel.

Puck looked at her. "You'd be okay with that?"

"Yes, I don't know what we are yet, but what I do know is that I do love you and I am having your baby. Whatever we are we can just work it out as we go along" said Rachel.

"I think I like that idea" replied Puck, and the two of them continued with their lunch and discuss the more finer points of how living together would go.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Sunday afternoon, all of Rachel's stuff, with help by the others, had been moved over the road to Puck's apartment; and after the others had left they were now just trying to find a place for everything in the small two bedroom place.

For the time being though most of her stuff was going to have to be staying in boxes, until they were able to get some more space organized for it all.

Jayden who wasn't really sure as to what was happening, had found enjoyment in helping going through some of the boxes and went over to Puck and tapped his dad on the leg.

"Toys" said Jayden, pointing to one of the boxes.

Puck looked at his son and laughed. "No buddy, not toys. That's Aunty Rae's stuff"

"Toys" he said, going over to Rachel, and tugging on her hand.

"Maybe we should tell him why I'm moving in Noah" said Rachel, looking over to him.

Puck nodded and sat down on the sofa. "Buddy, come over here for me"

Jayden looked at his father and went over to the sofa and climbed up on it.

"Okay buddy, now let me ask you. You like Aunty Rae, don't you?" asked Puck.

Jayden nodded his head.

"Okay" replied Puck, as Rachel also sat on the sofa.

"Well Aunty Rae is moving in here with daddy" said Puck.

Jayden looked over to Rachel, and she nodded. "Is that okay, that I live here Jay?"

"Yeah, you play" said Jayden, with a nod.

"I can do that when you're here, yes" replied Rachel.

"Okay" said Jayden, giving her a hug.

Puck looked at his son, hug her and smiled. "Also something else as well, buddy" said Puck, tapping his son on the shoulder.

Jayden turned to look at his dad.

"How would you like to be a big brother?" asked Puck.

"Brutha?" asked Jayden.

"Yeah, because see Aunty Rae and daddy, we're going to have a baby. So that means that you get to be their big brother" said Puck.

"Baby" said Jayden.

"That's right" said Rachel.

"Where it?" asked Jayden, looking to Puck and Rachel, and then climbing off the sofa and going over to one of the boxes that had been bought over for Rachel.

"Baby" said Jayden, tapping on the box.

"No, it's not here yet buddy" said Puck, holding his hand out to Jayden. "Come here"

Jayden looked at him and went over to Puck and took his hand and then Puck pulled his son back on to the sofa.

"The baby won't be here for another few months" said Puck.

"Why?" asked Jayden, looking at him.

"Well because they're not exactly ready to be born yet" said Puck.

"And until then, it's going to be in here" said Rachel, pointing to her stomach.

Jayden looked at her and then at her stomach. "It in you" he said.

Rachel nodded. "It is, here" she said, taking one of Jayden's hand and placing it on to her stomach.

"Baby, baby, baby" said Jayden, tapping Rachel's stomach.

"Yeah buddy, but careful 'kay. Don't want to be hurting your little brother or sister in there" said Puck.

Jayden looked at him and nodded.

"So you think you're going to like being a big brother?" asked Rachel.

"Yeah" replied Jayden, not taking his hand off Rachel's stomach.

"I think you're going to make an awesome big brother, buddy" said Puck, giving his son a smile, and the three of them talked some more, before Santana came to pick up Jayden to take him home to hers and Dani's apartment.

End Note:
So Rachel and Puck are now living together, and at least trying to work on what their relationship is. As someone mentioned in a review, they shouldn't be together just because they are having a baby together. And I don't want that either, to be honest.
I think deep down even when they were split up, they still cared for one another in a way, and I think that was always rather obvious to most people reading this story.
And now that they are having a baby together, it's sort of cemented that they really do love one another, but how do they get to that point without it feeling like to everyone else they are just doing it because they are going to be parents.
So they have that to work out with another - but rest assured there will be positive outcomes from this in the end.

And hopefully people caught onto the little sly cameo roles there for Dakota Stanley and Cassie July. The only ones I probably won't work into the story will be the new newbies, and that is because there really is nowhere to stick them and have a proper place in the scheme of things for them.

And also as promised there will be a storyline coming up for Sam in the next few chapters.
Also whilst you're all on here, if you haven't seen already my mouse just can't stop running around my brain, and thus I have started up another story that has been in my mind for a while, called "Everywhere You Look"; which is sort of a modern take on the premise of Full House, with Puck being a recently widowed dad and gets help when his brother in law and best friend move into help with raising his 3 daughters. It will in the end be a Puckleberry fic, however it's going to take a while for that to come about, because I know where I have to introduce Rachel into it and that will probably be about 20 chapters in, but it will certainly be worth the read into how all that comes about! So please go and check that out if you can and let me know what you think!

Anyway I have said more than enough, so thank you again for your continued support here and also on other stories, be back soon with more.
Love to you all,
KJ xoxoxo.
