Hey guys don't worry I will be updating What does it take soon hopefully in the next couple of days so keep a look out, this was requested by one of my recent friends TrustInFaith and so here it is, this is the first chapter and yes it is short, but it's just so I can get into it.

I do NOT own anything, except for Brooke the baby is my character... Oh and the mistakes those are mine to and I apologise for them now :D

Have a good read.

Just to let you know, Rachel isn't vegan in this on sorry.

Rachel sighed as she got up out of bed, she sat on the edge after swinging her legs down and rubbed the back of her neck, she rolled her shoulders, enjoying the delicious cracking it made as it stretched. She stood up and walked down stairs and into the kitchen, flicking on the coffee machine, she let out a puff of air as she leant against the counter.

She watched as the pot filled with coffee and took a deep breath in, enjoying the smell, she listened to the quiet, the only noise was the coffee machine, she was enjoying it, it was rare she ever got a time to have some quiet. She was lonely most of the time but there was always noise. She leant forward getting a mug and pulling the pot from its position she poured her coffee and let it warm her hands as it cooled. She looked around the kitchen she had only recently been able to tidy.

She rubbed her tired eyes and took her first sip of coffee, internally groaning as the warm liquid slid down her throat, enjoying the taste the feeling. She went to her fridge and opened it, she wishes she hadn't when she sees how empty it is.

'Crap looks like shopping today.' She lets a breath out before closing the fridge with a yoghurt in hand. She grabs a spoon off of the drainer and dries it off with a towel before starting to eat her yoghurt. She sat at the table as the quiet continued, she looked at the time and raised an eyebrow. Must be my lucky day, she thinks to herself. She manages to finish her coffee and yoghurt before she hears it.

She lets a sigh out, well it was fine while it lasted, she trudges up the stairs as the cries get louder, she opens the door with a gold star on, she lets her head slide through the gap and see two brown tearful eyes that match her own looking back. Rachel smiles when she sees them ad walks forward towards the cot.

'Hello little angel, are you ready to get up now?' In response the little girl sticks her arms out to Rachel. The little hands open and close like pincers and Rachel chuckles a little before bending down and scooping the child into her arms. She walked through the house and back into the kitchen. She sat the tiny infant in her seat as she walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle to start warming up.

'We're going shopping for food today sweetie' She pauses to let the little girl have her input, 'Yeah I know baby that's boring, but we need food' She pauses again and gets the bottle out of the pan 'yes we do, we need food' she coos as she hands the little girl the bottle. She holds it on the end to help. Once the tiny girl finishes her milk she gets her a winnie the pooh yoghurt. As she tries to get the spoon from the little girl she squeals and moves her hand. Rachel chuckles and grabs another spoon 'Fine I'll just use this one shall I?' Rachel laughs as the little girl bangs out her agreement with a squeal.

Rachel watched with a gentle smile on her face as the tiny infant tries to feed herself only to get yoghurt on her nose, cheeks and her hair. Rachel laughs and grabs her camera to take a photo as the tiny girl tips the now empty yoghurt carton on her head.

'What am I going to do to you? Messy moo' she says and picks the tiny girl up walking up to the nursery's bathroom.

She lies the tiny girl down and starts to clean her up, the little girl giggles up at Rachel, her matching eyes watching everything the older girl does.

'Am I fascinating Brooke?' Rachel questions the little angel when she notices the girl's eyes following her. The tiny girl smiles and kicks her legs in response. Rachel laughs and blows a raspberry on Brooke's stomach the baby laughs and squeals. Rachel dresses her in a light yellow and white striped top with a yellow dress over the top that had a duck on the bottom of it. She slid on some tights and picked the little girl up once she had finished.

Rachel looked into her parent's old room as she walked past holding the tiny angle to her shoulder as Brooke played with her hair. She stopped when she saw something in there; she walked in and to the dresser, on it was a note and some pictures. She lifted an eyebrow and picked the note up before walking out of the room and shutting the door. Brooke was giggling down her ear as she played with Rachel's brown locks.

'Come on then Brooke, I'll go get ready, do you want to watch a movie?' Rachel chuckled at the tiny squeal she received and the kick of the legs. She put the note on her bedside table and placed Brooke in her playpen with all her Disney characters and toys. Rachel set up the TV so Beauty and the Beast was playing. She ran a hand through her hair and looked at Brooke once before going into the bathroom to get ready, she left the door open so that she could get to Brooke if needed.

Rachel got dressed in a pair of sweats and a black t-shirt with ACDC on the front, she went out to see Brooke gurgling and what looked to be a soaking wet beast in her hand.

'Well I'm glad you knew which one it was' Rachel chuckled to herself as she walked to the play pen. She picked Brooke up and held her to her shoulder with one arm she glanced at the note on her bedside table quickly before shaking her head and walking down the stairs and into the hall, she put Brooke in her carrier and set it on the table as she write out her list. She looked around the kitchen making sure she had remembered everything then picked the list and the carrier up. Placing the list in her pocket she went out her front, locking it, and then went to her car. She clipped the carrier into the backseat and slid in the driver's seat, looking in to the backseat to see a smiling Brooke looking out of the window and kicking her legs, without even realising it Rachel smiled at the site.

She started driving and heard the squeals coming from Brooke as she drove past, trees, houses, cars and animal's, Rachel chuckled at the little girl every now and then. They reach the supermarket and Rachel parks up. She unclips the carrier and walks to the trolley stop getting one she could clip the carrier into and started her walk to the store.

Brooke was happily gurgling away as Rachel shopped. She was watching Rachel pick up every item and if something caught her eye her hand would shoot out for it.

Rachel chuckled when Brooke had her hand out, doing the pincer motion, as she held a carton of eggs in her hands.

'I'm afraid you aren't allowed to hold the BB, how about you hold this instead' and gave Brooke a teddy she had put in for her. Brooke squealed and shoved the bears ear straight into her mouth, Rachel laughed at that and shook her head, placing the eggs into trolley and carrying on looking around the store.

It was weird really, shopping for herself, looking after an infant, living by herself, it was so strange, she always thought she would have the love and support she need, but it turned out her parents dumped at the first sign of trouble, it was amazing really, how quick they left her behind, to fight for herself.

She didn't really have friends either, not good ones that she could talk to about her situation. No she never has had anyone to open up to, it was hard really once she thought about it, probably why she never liked thinking about it, she was lonely, she knew that, it's probably why when she is around someone her own age she walk talk like it was the end of the world.

She couldn't help the way she was in glee, bossy, obnoxious, annoying, it's because she's always on her own so when she gets out and gets to people she gets well... like that.

She was a sociable person, loved having people around her, had been that way since she was a baby, but when all the people you care about leave you as quick as a flash, and the people that are meant to be your teammates and friends pick on you, you don't have anyone to go to, it changes you, you feel unloved, unwelcome, in a place that's meant to be comfortable and welcoming to everyone, to all misfits, and your home, it's meant to be filled with love and support, her home is filled with love and support, but it isn't for her, no, it's from her, for Brooke, she will always love her little angle, always and nothing and no one is ever going to stop that, Brooke to her will always come first.

She smiled as the little girl looked up to her with doe brown eyes, she smiled around the ear that was in her mouth and the thrust the teddy to her mom.

'Oh why that you baby, but why don't you look after Ted for a little longer' Rachel said and soon enough the ear was back in the little girls mouth. Rachel chuckled and went down another isle, picking up cakes and stuff as she went, every now and then Brooke would kick her legs for Rachel's attention, Rachel would chuckle at the tiny girl and speak to her before going back to the stuff she needed.

It was funny really, thinking about how this girl adored her, how she was there all the time, Rachel spoke to her about her problems, even if she didn't understand, Rachel would do that to for her one day, she adored the little gem in her life just as much as the little girl adored her, she has been watching her grow from day one, and to be honest with everyone, it's been was amazing experience.

When Rachel was alone and it was quiet she would always think about how different things could be, how those differences would effect her, but when she truly thinks about it, she would never in a million years change a thing.

Rachel smiled as Brooke held a hand out to her, Rachel slid a finger into the tiny and it gripped on tight, Rachel knew it had probably been a bad idea but she didn't care she was happy to let her little angel feel the comfort and security she needed.

Brooke started to drift off to sleep slowly, the bear not in her mouth any more but tucked down by her side, Rachel smiled at the sleepy eyed girl and carried on her way around the shop. She got her last few items and made her way to the check out.

Just as Rachel was going round the corner to the check out a lady stopped, to look at the sleeping beauty in the carrier, Rachel smiled at the women awkwardly, she never really liked to stop and talk just in case someone she knows turns up.

'Aww she looks so cute' the lady said, Rachel smiled at her and nodded.

'How old is she?' the lady asked managing to tear her eyes from the baby.

'A little over ten months' Rachel replied proudly, She had been lucky really, she had been able to start school late so no one knew, however that also prompted her knighting as school loser, because she didn't know anyone.

'Wow she is tiny' The lady exclaimed with wide eyes.

'Yeah it runs in the family' Rachel replied biting her lip but with a smile tugging at her corners.

'Well she is definitely a cutie, I have to tell you' the lady said. 'And the way she is holding on to your finger so tightly, it's the most precious thing I have ever seen.'

'I agree she is definitely amazing' Rachel said with a full blown grin now, listening to the lady talk so fondly of Brooke it just felt amazing.

'You must have a very strong bond with her, she must adore you' the lady smiled at her as she scanned Rachel's face, seeing the love and adoration in the brunette's eyes.

'Yeah we adore each other really, I couldn't imagine my life without her any more' Rachel replied proudly and the woman smiled at her as they locked eyes.

'Well iI better be off, got to finish of my shopping before my husband thinks I'm lost... again'

Rachel chuckled and nodded 'nice talking to you' and then they went their separate ways after the lady had cooed her goodbye to a peacefully and blissfully unaware Brooke.

Rachel couldn't tug her hand out of Brooke's grasp, every time she tried to pull her finger free the girl would tighten it just to make it harder. Rachel had to place item at a time using her one free hand. She was almost finished when she dropped something, it happened to be a can, which teasingly decided to roll away. Rachel rolled her eyes and started struggling with Brooke to try and get her hand back so that she could get to the can.

She watched as it rolled away and then stopped at someone's feet. The person bent down and picked the tin up and started to walk to Rachel still with their head down, actually it looked like the person was reading the tin. Rachel turned to Brooke still trying to get her hand back, she gave up the fight in the end realising it was useless.

Rachel turned back to the person and smiled.

'Thank you for bringing it back' she said, she was going to say more, but the person looked up at her voice, her eyes grew wide Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!, was screaming through her head.

'Rachel, is that you?' the voice said.

Sooooo I hope you liked the chapter, again it was short, but it was just so that I could get into the storyline and get a clear plan in my head, hopefully you all liked it.
