Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, I just own the soundtracks, DVD and the plot.

Summary: After a one night stand with Puck, Rachel found herself pregnant. Instead of telling everyone she packed her bags and left. Now 5 years later she returns to Ohio, with a surprise. How will Puck react when he finds out he has a son? Puckleberry. Please read and review.

Pairings: Puck/Rachel, with Finn/Quinn, Tina/Artie, Matt/Mercedes, Mike/Kurt and Santana/Brittany.

Authors Note 1: Okay, so Puck/Rachel aren't my favourite couple in Glee, I'm more of a Rachel/Finn, Puck/Quinn shipper. But I did like them in the episode 'Mash Up' and again in 'Bad Reputation'. Quinn also had a daughter, but Puck isn't the father, it's Finn. Also seen as it's my second Glee story, the characters may be a bit OOC, but I'll try and work on that. Also my chapters are named after songs that I listen. This chapter is named after the song 'The Scientist' by Coldplay. Also this chapter will be short then the others but that's only because it's introducing the story. Now enough of my blabbering and enjoy the fic.

Chapter One

"Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start."

Welcome To Ohio. Rachel's breath got caught in her throat when she saw the sign. It had been way too long since she had been in this town. "Mommy." A sleepy voice said from the back. "Yes, sweetie?" Rachel asked gently.

"Are we there yet?" the soft voice asked. "Yes, sweetie just another couple of minutes and we'll be there." Rachel told him. She watched her son through the mirror as he fell asleep again. A couple of minutes. In a couple of minutes Rachel would be back in the town she grew up in. The town in which she abandoned, so she could go and look after her five year old son.

The town in which she found her true desire of drama. The town in which she found the greatest of all friends. Her friends, Rachel suddenly thought. What would they think of her now? Knowing that she never made it big? Knowing that she was only sixteen, and she had gotten pregnant. How would they deal with it?

When she found out she hadn't told anyone, instead she just packed her bags and moved as far away from Lima as possibly she could. She didn't even tell her dads. Rachel couldn't dare think of how they would have reacted. They probably would have thrown her out of the house, leaving her homeless.

Rachel's fingers clenched tightly on the steering wheel, as she shook her head to clear away the thoughts. She couldn't let them distract her. She stopped at the traffic lights, and turned her head to look out the window. She saw that she was parked outside of McKinley High. Her old high school.

Just looking at the building, brought back memories. Some were happy, some were sad. Some were dramatic. But most of them evolved around Glee. Glee was one of the best things in Rachel's life, it was one step closer to her dream. But that ship sailed when she had gotten pregnant.

A car horn beeped behind her. She snapped out of her thoughts and realized that the lights had turned green. She quickly put her foot on the gear and the car started to move. A few minutes later she pulled into her drive way.

Rachel sat in the car, staring at the house. She had come all this way. There was no way she could go back now, it would be pointless. She took a deep breath, before getting out of the car. She went to the backseat, and opened the door.

She smiled when she saw her son curled up on the seat fast asleep. She hated that she had to wake him up. "Tyler, honey." Rachel said, shaking her son gently. He moaned and shifted a bit before opening his eyes.

"Mommy?" He said quietly, before sitting up. "Where are we?" He asked, looking out the window at his surroundings. "Are we here?" Rachel nodded. "Yes, sweetie we're here. I need you to get out of the car, so you can go and see your grandads okay?" Tyler nodded his head, before he unbuckled his seat belt and hopped out of the car.

"Wow." Tyler said in awe as he looked at the house. "You like it?" Rachel asked, standing beside him, with a suitcase in her left hand. Tyler nodded his head, his mouth agape unable to express any words.

"Come on." Rachel said, grabbing her sons hand with her right. "You ready to meet your grandads?" She asked, he nodded. Rachel took a deep breath before walking towards her house. When she got onto her doorstep, she stared at it for a moment.

"Mommy, aren't you going to ring the doorbell?" Tyler's voice broke through her thoughts. Rachel blinked and shook her head. "What, oh right. That would be handy." Rachel said, saying the last bit to herself.

Rachel braced herself before pressing her finger against the white button. They waited for a moment before a tall man with glasses, and a bit of hair opened the door. His face went into shock when he saw who was standing on his doorstep.

"Rachel?" The man asked, quietly starting at the girl. Rachel nodded, "Hi, daddy." She whispered quietly. She could feel tears forming in her eyes. She couldn't believe she was standing in front of her dad, well one of them anyway. She hadn't seen him in five years and now that she has all her emotions were getting the best of her.

"Greg, honey who's at the door?" Another man's voice called out. Rachel looked behind her dad – Greg, and saw her other dad Larry in the hallway. Larry stopped dead in his tracks when he saw his daughter.

"Rachel?" He breathed, Rachel nodded. "Hi pappy." She greeted, sniffling. "Oh my." Larry said. Without warning, Larry ran straight towards her and pulling her into a giant hug. Greg joined in also, squashing Rachel so hard she was finding it hard to breathe.

"Daddy, PappyI can't breathe." She told them, laughing a little. They pulled away instantly.

"Sweetie, what are you doing here?" Greg asked her.

"How come you never called?" Larry asked.

"We were so worried."

"You just disappeared."

"Without a trace."

"We thought you were gone forever."

"Daddy, Pappy. Calm down." Rachel told her dads, the two of them stopped talking and took a breath each.

"I will tell you everything, but first there is someone I would like you to meet." Rachel said. It was only then did, Greg and Larry realize there was a small child standing beside their daughter, holding onto her legs.

Rachel took a deep breath before saying.

"Daddy, Pappy I would like you to meet my son Tyler. Your nephew."
