Puck!! No!! Man stay with us. You have your Berry and little Puck Jr. Counting on you. Don't you dare die on us! said one of his buddies.

Rachel. Our baby. Puck thought as he felt himself drifting. He can't leave them. Shit, this bullet hurts.

"Dude if I die..." Puck said.

"Nope you're going to tell her yourself. You're not dying asswipe." Noel said.

"Fuck you. " Puck tried to laugh.

"Sorry not my type dude. I like a womanly parts. Even though have to admit Puckerman you look good in a dress." Noel laughed.

Puck felt himself being transported to somewhere and knew he would get help. Medical staff hovering over him.

He slipped in and out of consciousness. Remembering Rachel. The choir room. His Rachel..

"Need You Now"

[Rachel:]
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.

[Both]
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.

[Puck]
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.

[Rachel]
And I don't know how I can do without.

[Both]
I just need you now.

[Puck]
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?

[Rachel]
For me it happens all the time.

[Both]
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.

[Rachel]
And I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now.

[Puck]
Oh whoa

[Rachel]
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.

[Rachel]
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.

[Puck]
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Well I don't know how I can do without.

[Both]
I just need you now
I just need you now.

[Rachel]
Oh baby I need you now.

[**Flashback ends**]

Puck didn't know how long he was out for. All he knew was that he wanted to be in Rachel's arms. He wanted to hold her. Hold their child.

Meanwhile....

Rachel was in her dressing room, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

Ouch!! Rachel yelled.

"Rachie what's going on?!" Blaine called. Kurt was out once again. Working late she guessed. She and Blaine spent a lot of time together.

"I don't know. I just felt sick to my stomach. It's probably nothing. " Rachel said with uncertainty.

"Rach, we've known each other how long now?" Blaine replied.

True...Blaine knew her so well.

"I don't know. I keep feeling like something isn't right. I haven't heard from Noah at all since we got disconnected. He has to be okay. " Rachel said. She touched her stomach. "It's okay baby. Daddy will be home." She assured her unborn child.

Blaine smiled. Sometimes he wondered what could've been. What if he hadn't told her he was 100% gay. That baby could've been theirs. Deep down he had a feeling he was into both men and women. He wanted to make Kurt happy. And Rachel belonged to Noah Puckerman. He thought to himself.

"You're going to be an amazing mother, Rachel. Nothing like Shelby. And no offense, but a better parent than your dads. Who doesn't visit their own child at her Opening Night on Broadway. Her dream role. And not show up, especially after so many years of pushing you to be a star?" Blaine asked.

Rachel blinked. Blaine was right. She loved her fathers, but was so hurt that they chose a cruise over their daughter.

"Sorry that was out of line." Blaine apologized.

"No it wasn't. You are right, Blaine. I shouldn't have to compete for their attention or approval except I still do." Rachel admitted.

"I will always be there for my child. I'm NOT Shelby. And I know Noah will be here. Somehow and Someway. He is my Noah. He hasn't ever let me down. We had come a long way. Yes he was a sex shark, but he was always loyal to me." Rachel admitted again.

She wasted too many years pining for the wrong men, when her Mr. Right was in front of her the entire time.

"I need you Noah...we Both do." Rachel whispered as she looked at their photo in a frame.

"I need you now..." Rachel said. Feeling more pain in her stomach.

At the same time, Noah was being operated on. His thoughts solely on Rach and his child.

"I need you Rachel...." Puck said to self.

"I love you. I'm not ready to leave this world yet..." Puck fought....

AN: I'll end this chapter right here. Let me know your thoughts. More on the way. Happy Friday!
