Puck and Quinn stared through the nursery window in complete silence, so many thoughts crossing through both their minds.

"She looks like you," Puck said finally breaking the silence between them. Quinn continued looking straight at their daughter."Do you want to keep her?" he finally asked trying to look into her green eyes.

"No," she replies as quickly as he asked her. Her gaze not leaving their baby girl, "Do you?"

Puck tilted his head and sighed creating another silence between them. Quinn took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Did you love me?"

Puck stared directly at their daughter, "Yes" he paused "especially now." They both laughed lightly before Shelby Corcoran showed up and started asking questions about their baby girl.

"Does she have a name?" asked Shelby.

As Quinn replied with a no Puck replied by saying "Beth". At that moment Puck and Quinn knew who they could entrust their baby girl, Beth, with.

15 years later

"Bethany Ann Corcoran time to get up," Shelby yelled from the bottom of the stairs of their two story town-house. Beth groggily made her way out of her bed into her bathroom and turned on the shower. She slapped off her new pink silky knee length nightgown and get into the shower feeling the water fall upon her. After about fifteen minutes she turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around her body and her hair. She brushed her teeth and changed into her purple Carmel High Cheer uniform. She made her way back into the bathroom and blow dried her blonde hair then curled it. Then she added her cheer bow to finish her signature look she quickly did her makeup. She ran her tube of lip gloss across her lips and opened and closed them several times to distribute the gloss evenly. Beth took one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs where her mother was singing some song from a Broadway show Beth could really care less about. Shelby smiled at her daughter "Happy Fifteenth birthday sweetheart", as Beth reached the ground floor where her mother hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"Thanks mom," Beth smiled slightly. Beth never really liked to celebrate her birthday. Don't get her wrong she loved her mother, but they were nothing alike. While her mother was into show tunes and glee club, Beth however was into cheerleading and playing the guitar. Beth also didn't like to celebrate her birthday because her dad wasn't around. Beth never met her father and when she would ask her mother about him she changed the subject.

"Well we better get going don't want to be late for school," Shelby said looking at her watch bringing Beth back to reality. Beth grabbed her bag as they exited the house. When Beth was about five Shelby got a job offer she couldn't refuse to return back as the glee club coach. She wanted Beth to join glee, but Beth had no interest spending extra time with her mother which Shelby understood a teenage girl wouldn't want to spend a whole lot of time with her mother.

"Well I have to stay late for a meeting tonight and then Vocal Adrenaline has a practice right after so you'll have to take the bus or find a ride home so we'll have to celebrate your birthday tomorrow night," Shelby said as they pulled into their usual parking spot.

"Fine by me anyways some teacher from William McKinley invited some students to come after school I hear she's like the best cheerleading coach in the world," Beth said as she grabbed her bag.

"Alright just be home at a decent hour," Shelby said a bit cautious about what her daughter was getting into by going over to McKinley.

"I promise," Beth gave her mom a kiss on the cheek. "Love you," Beth got out of the car and headed toward the building catching up with her friends who wore the same uniform as her.

Beth walked into McKinley it was so much different then Carmel. From the colors to the way the students treated one another. Glee kids were at the bottom jocks at the top. At Carmel either you were rich or part of Vocal Adrenaline made you popular.

Beth waited in the front office for someone by the name of Sue Sylvester. She walked around the room for a bit looking at rewards that McKinley had won when Sue Sylvester walked in.

"I'm looking for a Bethany Corcoran," Sue said looking down at her clipboard.

"That's me," Beth smiled. Sue looked up from her clipboard doing a double take for a minute because she thought Quinn Fabray was standing in front of her.

"Well don't just stand there follow me and wipe that smile from your face this isn't extreme makeover home edition," Sue said as she headed out the office Beth dropped her smile for a confused look and followed Sue down the hall.

In Sue's office Beth quickly noticed multiple trophies surrounding the room.

"Sit down Bethany," Sue said sitting at her desk her hands folded on her lap.

Beth quickly sat down "You can call me Beth it's what everyone calls me."

"Alright Beth I've heard from multiple people that you're one of the best cheerleaders in the county you are almost as great a former cheerio of mine, bunch of wasted potential," Sue said mumbling the last part.

"Thanks I guess," Beth replied a bit confused.

"That's why I want you here at McKinley as a cheerio."

Beth didn't know what to say she had heard that the cheerios were one of the best squads in the world, well at least in the state of Ohio.

"I don't know Miss. Sylvester I would have to talk to my mom about it," Beth knew her mother would not approve of her switching schools, especially since she knew how tough being a cheerio was.

"Well if your mother knows what's good for you she would make sure you became a cheerio now get out I have a cannon routine to finish." Beth quickly got up and exited Sue's office not paying attention bumping into someone and falling on her butt.

"What the hell," said Beth still on the ground.

"Sorry," said the kid she had bumped into as he stood up. "Maybe you should watch where you're going next time."

"Me you're the one who bumped into me," Beth scowled standing up and dusting herself off. She looked up at the guy. He looked about Beth's age maybe a year older. He obviously was a stereotypical bad boy with his leather jacket and cocky attitude. He kind of had the Justin Bieber teenage years look when he dated Selena Gomez.

"I believe you're the one who walked into me princess," he spatted back before walking away.

"Ugh," Beth said fixing her hair.

"Quinn?" Beth turned around to see an older man in a sweater vest walking towards her. When he saw her he shook his head."I'm sorry you look like one of my former students I'm Mr. Schuester," he put his hand out to shake.

Beth looked at him confused his name sound awfully familiar. "I'm Beth Corcoran I think you know my mom Shelby," Beth said remember her mother telling her about a Mr. Schuester who was the glee coach at McKinley.

"Oh yes Shelby, how is she," Mr. Schuester asked.

"She's good, coaching Vocal Adrenaline."

"Good for her. I haven't seen her, wow, since you were born." Mr. Schuester smiled, "It was during Regionals."

"Wait you were there when I was born," Beth said confused.

"Yeah I was at the hospital," Mr. Schuester said thinking Beth would have known that.

Beth was getting a weird vibe from this school. This Mr. Schuester was there when she was born, maybe just maybe he was her father, but why would he call her Quinn? She had to get to the bottom of this.

"Well it was nice to meet you Mr. Schuester, but I gotta go before my bus leaves without me," she smiled her famous smile.

"Nice seeing you again Beth if you ever need anything I'm in the choir room after school," Mr. Schuester smiled.

Beth nodded before leaving she needed to find out the truth. Was this Mr. Schuester her father? Beth got on the bus back to Carmel.
