Okay, so basically this is the main point of the story: What will happen to Puck and Quinn once a familiar face is brought back into their lives 10 years after the Season 1 finale- in the most brutal of ways?

It's quite a long first chapter, but i wanted to get straight to the point of the story. As it goes on, I'll go into more depth on what has happened over the years (Btw, this is set in 2020).

Note: No, I'm not a doctor, so a lot of things in this fanfiction are probably 100% NOT medically accurate! But try to ignore any flaws, just focus on the story :) Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: It's simple really. I don't own glee, but i wish i did. Its one of the only things eBay doesn't sell.


It was the same old morning routine, but Quinn Fabray liked it that way. At 6am, she would get out of bed, take a shower with her favourite coconut wash, quickly run straighteners over her long blonde hair, and grab some mascara and lip gloss to apply in her break. She would give a sound asleep Puck a quick peck on the forehead, grab a cereal bar and head out the door.

On Tuesday 4th March 2020, Quinn noticed the difference in the air. In later months, she would look back and wonder if it had a hidden meaning, but at 6:30am, she only noticed that it was sunnier, more spring like. She smiled as she sang along to an old song, a band she recognised as the Black Eyed Peas. The combination of sun and music (preferably including Puck) always put her in a good mood.


Pulling up to Harper Grace Hospital, Quinn sat in her car for a few minutes, noticing she was about 15 minutes earlier than usual. She thought about all that happened over the past 10 years.

Beth was born, and Quinn began to move on with her life. She regained her figure gradually and moved back in with her mom. A lot of people told her it was the wrong decision, but as much as she had hurt her, her mom was her mom, and she missed her. It was simple as that. Despite a few arguments that ended in Quinn staying at Mercedes for a night or two every now and then, it went fine. Speaking of Mercedes, Quinn, in the years of high school that remained after Beth, became part of the Kurt-Mercedes-Quinn friendship circle. They were her best friends.

And then there was Noah 'Puck' Puckerman. Quinn sighed as she thought about all they had gone through together. Their relationship, after the hospital confession, was tentative, but gradually grew into a proper romance.

And so she went to medical school to train to be a nurse, and she begun to work here at Harper Grace after moving with Puck to Columbus. It was weird, despite always dreaming of being one of those housewives looking after the kids while their husband worked, Quinn realised as she grew older that she wanted to be someone, and do something honourable, respected. So she became a nurse.

Quinn was knocked out of her reverie when there was a sharp tap on the window. She turned to see Andy, her good friend who was a surgeon here at Harper Grace waving and smiling brightly at her in his special Andy-way. She couldn't help but smile back, and she got out of her car and locked it.

'I bought doughnuts!' He said enthusiastically, linking arms with her. Quinn couldn't help but be reminded of Kurt, which caused a pang of sadness- she hadn't seen him in over a month, he had been away working in Paris. She was so proud of him, and not at all surprised at his job working for Vogue.

'Knowing you, your enthusiasm means you had a good time on your date last night?' She smiled knowingly at him and laughed when Andy blushed and ducked his head a bit.

'I knew it! Tell me all about him, and please tell me it's an improvement from Prissy Paul.' They both shuddered, remembering Andy's last fail at a relationship.

'Well-'

'Fabray! Lee!' Quit your yapping and get in here! You've got rounds to do!'

They both squinted to look up at the first floor window, where the chief resident, Allie Simms was slamming the window shut, giving them a stern glance before disappearing. They both hurried into the hospital, Andy shoving the doughnuts in his satchel. Allie, while being kind and a generally nice person, was NOT someone to be messed with when it came to medical duties.


'Come on Nurse Quinn, i won't tell-'

'No Nick, you know what your mom said. Just because she's not coming back for another hour, doesn't mean you can sucker me into giving you a second helping of ice-cream.' Quinn smiled and ruffled the 9 year olds hair. Nick was her favourite patient at the minute, despite Andy warning her that it was best for her not to get too attached to a boy in desperate need of a kidney transplant.

Quinn jumped as her pager went off, and she looked down to see it was Allie, requesting her at the helicopter pad immediately. Quinn felt adrenaline immediately pump through her. It was obviously serious enough to have been brought to the hospital by helicopter.

'Okay, Nick, your okay? I need to respond to this emergency call.'

'Yeah, that's cool Q.'

Quinn rolled her eyes at the use of the nickname he had picked up, probably from when Puck kept him company and told old stories about them to him. As she made her way out the door, Nick piped up again. 'Hey Q- you're looking good today.' She turned to see Nick give her cheeky dimpled grin and a wink. She was instantly reminded of Puck whenever the little charmer tried flirting with her.

Nevertheless, under her white lab coat she was wearing her favourite navy wrap dress and her hair was wavy and curled, so it was still a welcome compliment.


'Excuse me, nurse coming through, please!' Quinn ran through the corridors, trying not to run into people that were darting all over. Judging that it was now 8:30am, it was busy as overnight and semi permanent patients began to wake up.

She burst out onto the rooftop, and was instantly hit by the chaos of the scene. Doctors and nurses were fleeing all over, and the helicopter was beginning to descend, causing everyone to be hit by a massive sweep of wind.

'Fabray! Over here!' Allie shouted above the noise, beckoning to her to join her and another doctor, Simon Bray. Bray was a bit too robotic for Quinn's liking, in the sense he didn't really connect with patients, but he was brilliant and respected surgeon none the less.

She hurried over as the medics opened the helicopter and began to pull a stretcher out.

'What have we got?' She shouted out, studying the girl. Looked about Nick's age, blonde hair and unconscious.

'10 year old female, car accident, ruptured spleen, internal bleeding, possible concussion, broken arm, severe whiplash by the look of it, her mother is in the next helicopter.'

'Okay, I'm gonna page Dr Lee and get this girl into the OR, Fabray, stay here and wait for the mother, if there is only minimal damage I want you to come straight to me.'

Quinn nodded and looked up to see the other helicopter being opened.

'46 year old female, also in car accident, wasn't hit by the impact so only a bit of head trauma but will need to be checked over.'

'Okay, Becky I need you to-' Quinn began addressing the other nurses, just as the woman turned her head to look at her. She stopped, the breath being knocked out of her in shock.

She first registered the long dark hair, and the big hazel eyes. The unusual face shape, so alike her first daughter's.

'My daughter? Where's my daughter?'

Shelby Corcoran's eyes were wide with panic, tears pouring down her cheeks as she shook in terror. Quinn just stood there as the chaos grew, comprehension and understanding beginning to sink in. The voices around her were now nothing but blurs.

Shelby was at the hospital.

'Quinn? You heard allie, we need to get her to-'

Her and her 10 year old, blonde haired daughter had been in a car accident.

'Please, tell me where my daughter is!'

It could only mean the unthinkable, the nightmare that was now reality.

'Quinn! We need to get Mrs Corcoran-'

The girl who was now facing emergency, possibly fatal surgery was Quinn's daughter. Beth.

'Where's my daughter? BETH!'

Beth.
