"Bethany, please slow down," Rachel said to her daughter.

Yes, that's right, Rachel Berry is a mom. "But Mommy, I wanna go to the toys," Bethany said, as stomped her foot. "Bethie, we will, I promise. I just need to get a few more things," Rachel said as she turned around looking at the different types of pop tarts. "What kind of pop tarts does auntie San like?" Rachel asked her daughter, but when she turned around she wasn't there. "Bethie?" No reply. "Bethany?" Once again no reply. "Oh my gosh. Bethany stop playing games." When she didn't get a reply again Rachel started freaking out. She started looking all around the store for her 7-year-old daughter.

Noah Puckerman was walking towards the cereal isle when he bumped into something, or someone. "Oh, sorry-" He started saying but stopped when he realized that the someone be bumped into, was only about 6. "Hey, what your name?" He asked the little girl. She eyed him curiously, and then finally said, "My mommy told me not to talk to strangers." He smiled at her. "Well then your mommy is correct, but you can trust me, I'm a cop…Where is your mommy?" Puck asked her. "Where's your uniform?" The little girl asked. "I'm a detective, I don't have to wear a uniform, and do you want to see my badge?" The little girl nodded, and Puck pulled out his badge. She looked at it, and smiled up at him, "This is cool," she spoke. When Puck looked into her eyes it was like, he had seen those somewhere else. "So, what's your name? And where's your mommy?" The little girl started crying, and said, "My names Bethany, and I don't know where my mommy is." "Shh, its okay, will find your mommy." Puck pulled the little girl into his arms, and started rubbing her back. When he pulled back, he stood up, and said, "So where was the last place you seen your mommy?" As Bethany was getting ready to reply, Puck could hear somebody yelling, "Bethany Eve, Where have you gone off to this time?" He turned around and saw the little girl run up to her mother, he assumed. "Momma? I'm sooooo sorry I'll never leave your side again. He saw the little girl, in her mothers arms, and he couldn't help smile, but also be really confused, that hair, and body, looked so familiar. But her tried to keep her off his mind. He couldn't see her face, her back was facing him, and he could also see the little girl pointing in his direction. He saw the mom, grab her daughter's hand and started walking his direction. The nose, it also looked so familiar. "Thank you so much-" Rachel started to say, but stopped when she finally saw who made sure her daughter was okay. Puck was in shock, Rachel Berry was standing in front of him, with a daughter.

"Noah?"

Puck gulped, and said, "Hey Rach."

She smiled up at him, and before he could react, she wrapped her free arm around his neck. "God, I missed you," She whispered into his ear. Rachel could tell he was ginning, and he whispered, "I missed you too."

They finally let go when Bethany interrupted them, "Gosh mom, he just helped me find you." Rachel chuckled, and said to her daughter, "Bethany, this is a good friend of mine from high school." Bethany squinted her eyes at him and then finally said, "Now that you mention it, he does kinda look familiar," Then Bethany snapped her fingers and said, "Your Noah, my mom, and auntie San talk about you alllll the time." Rachel blushed, ad Puck noticed. "Bethany." Rachel snapped. ''Sorry," Bethany, smiled at Puck, and he winked at her. Bethany giggled, and Rachel signed. "You wanna go talk somewhere?" Puck asked Rachel. Rachel grinned, and said, "Sure."

Puck thought Rachel looked great.

She still had the dancers body, and her hairs a little longer, and oh yeah, she has a kid. Rachel, Puck, and Bethany Where walking to Rachel's house, so Bethany could play with her toys while they talked. Puck was anxious to know who Bethany's dad was. Or if he was in her and Rachel's life, because if he wasn't he would probably punch the prick who left Rachel to deal with Bethany. And if he was still in her life, Puck would still probably punch him, because, well Rachel belongs with him. Pucks loved her since senior year of high school, but he didn't realize it until a couple of weeks before graduation, when she would leave for New York, and he would leave for California. But here they were 7 years later.

"Go play in your room, Bethie, while me and Noah talk."

Rachel told her daughter, Bethany ran off to her room. "She's cute, looks like you," Puck said, not realizing that he pretty much called Rachel cute. Rachel blushed and said, "Did Noah Puckerman, just call me cute?" she said while she placed a hand on her heart. Puck glared at her, and said "No." Rachel laughed and offered Puck a drink, witch he said yes to. Rachel sat down at the kitchen counter and Puck sat next to her. "So what are you doing in New York?" Rachel asked. ''Cali, wasn't doing it for me," Puck answered, Rachel nodded her head in understanding. "So what are you doing? I mean, I haven't seen your picture up on the bill boards." Puck said. Rachel sighed, ''After Bethany was born, it just didn't interest me anymore I guess." Rachel looked over at Puck, and said, ''you're probably wondering how Bethie was created?'' Puck looked over at Rachel, and nodded his head. "You don't have to tell me," Puck spoke, even though he was dying to know. Rachel shook her head and said, "I met a guy, a few months after I got here. He was nice, charming, good looking, but not hot. I was sad, I missed home, Glee, my friends, my dad's, you… I was drunk." When Rachel looked over at Puck, He looked shock. "I know, Rachel Berry drunk, so surprising! Anyway, I was drunk, and he took advantage of me." Puck was pissed. "And then I found out I was pregnant, and when I told him, he said he was going to be there for me, no matter what. He was…until I was 6 months pregnant, and I fell down the stairs at work." Rachel wasn't crying, but Puck could see her eyes watering. "Rach.." Rachel shook he head and continued. "He came to the hospital, he made sure we were alright. We where, he said he would come back, he didn't. But I was, somehow, alright. I had Santana, Kurt, and Quinn." Rachel looked at Puck's face when she mentioned her best friends. Puck looked shocked, "You know Noah, Santana, Quinn, and I, grew pretty close at the end of senior year, me and Santana more." Puck pursed his lips and nodded, "Anyway, I went into labor a week early. Bethany was alright though, 5lbs. 5oz. and she was 18 inches long." "She was small, just like you," Puck said. Rachel hit his arm playfully and said, "Petite." Puck chuckled, and Rachel finished speaking. "Santana, has helped me so much, I don't know what I would have done without her. I haven't seen Brody- Bethany's Father since I was 6 months pregnant. Bastard. I mean, how can you create something so special, and not want anything to do with it." Puck nodded his head in agreement, "He's stupid Rach. He's missing out on a special little girl, and a good, beautiful woman." Rachel blushed when Puck called her beautiful, and for some odd reason, she was feeling tingly. 'No, Rachel, snap out of it! You have a daughter to think about.' And with that thought, she let it go. Rachel smiled at Noah, and said, "Thank you, it means a lot for you to say that." Noah smirked and then said, "I would have been there for you Rach, if you would've just called, and I would have been in the first flight back here." Rachel signed, nodding her head, "I know Noah, but it would have felt like I was tying you down. We were 18. I didn't want that for you." And there was that tingly feeling again. "Rach, I loved you, I still love you. And I want to be with you, I want to be Bethy's dad." Rachel smiled at the nickname he gave her child. She wanted to be with him, and he wanted to be with her, but there was one thing keeping her from doing that, and it was her child. She needed to focus on her. "Noah, I do still love you, but I have a child, and it's not just me looking out for me, I have to look out for her. And I would feel like I'm tying you down, and I don't know if your ready for that," Rachel finished. Puck shook his head, "No, Rachel, I love you. And I already love Bethany, and I barely know her. I'm ready to be with you. And I would never leave you or Bethany." Rachel shook her head, "I know that, I do. But… just give you and me a few days to think this over. Ok?" Puck looked like he was going to argue more about it, but then dropped it. "Ok." Rachel signed, "thank you."

They talked some more, like about what there doing now, Rachel as a RN, and Puck as a detective. They laughed, and laughed, until Bethany came out saying she was hungry. When Rachel looked over at the clock, she was shocked to see it was almost 5. That meant Santana was gonna be home soon, say 5 to 10 minutes. Rachel invited Puck to stay for dinner, and he was gonna say no until Bethany gave him the puppy dog eyes, and Rachel laughed at him.

Rachel made breakfast for dinner, and while they were in the middle of it, Santana walked through the door. "Okay, I'm ready to see my godchild-" Santana said, but stopped when noticed Puck.

"Puckerman?"

"Lopez."

Puck could hear the faint whisper when Bethany asked her mom, "Why are they calling each other by their last names?" Rachel could only giggle. "Uh, Rach, why is Puck sitting at our kitchen table?" Rachel bit her lip, and said "Well we kinda ran into each other at the store and I invited him over… and I'm sure you can figure out the rest." Santana nodded, and then smiled, as she sat down at the table, "Good to see you Puckerman." Puck nodded his head, "You too, Lopez."

The 4 finished their dinner and laughed some. Puck then said he should go, and Rachel walked him towards the door. "Well I hope to see you around?" Rachel said. Puck smirked and then said, "Oh, babe, you will see me around." And right before she could answer, he kissed her, lightly, and opened the door and then shut it. She could tell he was smiling, and it warmed her heart.

She went to bed that night, thinking about Noah Puckerman.
