My Hidden Mistake

Chapter 13

I don't own In My Daughter's Eyes by Faith Hill.

"Even though more than half of you already know who she is, but for the rest of you this is Angela my daughter." I said with a weak smile. Everyone in glee looked at me with a shocked face that she was here.

"Rachel. Who is the father?" Mr. Shuester asked me.

"Yeah Rach. Who is the father? I forgot to ask last night when you were over after your house was broken into." Kurt said.

"Well he kind of knows." I told them.

"What do you mean?" Tina asked me confused.

"Hey Rach. Can I hold Angel?" Brittany asked.

"Sure Brit." Brittany came over and took Angela from my hands and went back to the seat she was at. Then I finally put my stuff down the bags I had. "What I mean by he kind of knows is I did tell him when I first found out. But he thought I was lying and told me to leave him alone. So he really doesn't know but at the same time does know." I told them.

"What a jackass." Artie said.

"Yeah Artie is right. He must be a big dick." Sam said.

"No. He just thought I was lying. He was not a dick or jackass." I told them.

"Rachel he told you to leave him alone." Sugar said.

"I know but he is still a sweet guy when he wants to. It is still my fault too. I didn't tell him when she was born or let him meet her." I told them.

"Why did you not tell us about your pregnancy?" Mike asked me.

"I was scared and back then everyone thought I was a freak. I didn't want to be called a slut too. I was going to tell you guys a different way today any ways. I had this song planned to sing. If you don't mind Mr.Shuester can I still sing it for the assignment?" I asked him.

"Go right ahead Rachel." Mr.Shuester said taking a seat by Puck. Then I told the band the song and I took the front of the room. I started to sing when the music started to play.

In my daughter's eyes,

I am a hero,

I am strong and wise,

And I know no fear,

But the truth is plain to see,

She was sent to rescue me,

I see who I want to be,

In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,

Everyone is equal,

Darkness turns to light,

And the world is at peace,

This miracle God gave to me,

Gives me strength when I am weak,

I find reason to believe,

In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger,

How it puts a smile in my heart,

Everything becomes a little clearer,

I realize what life is all about,

It's hanging on when your heart is had enough,

It's giving more when you feel like giving up,

I've seen the light,

It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,

I can see the future,

A reflection of who I am and what will be,

And though she'll grow and someday leave,

Maybe raise a family,

When i'm gone I hope you see,

How happy she made me,

For i'll be there,

In my daughter's eyes

Everyone got up and gave me a standing ovation. I took a bow and took a seat next to Santana and I took my angel from Brittany.

"That was amazing Rachel." Mr.Shuester said.

"Thanks. And you guys already know what I want to tell you guys." I said smiling at Angela.

"So I think that is enough for this after school practice. But I would like you guys to hang out more as a team on your own time." Mr. Shuester said.

"Bye." Everyone said grabbing their things and walking out. I stayed behind to get my things together. But I was not the only one in the room with me and Angela. Noah Puckerman was still here sitting in the seat.

"Noah, are you okay?" I asked putting Angela into her carrier.

"I don't know. I have to ask you something." He said.

"What is it Noah?" I asked him scared.

"Is she my?" He asked sitting there looking at the ground.

"Noah. I can't lie to you. Do you want to know her full name?" I asked him.

"Yes. What is it?" He asked finally looking up at me.

"Angela Mara Puckerman." I told him. He looked right at me and smiled.

"She is my daughter." He said coming up to me.
