Hope You'll Be Alright

Can you hear that baby?
That's your daddy singing, hear him? Cherish this moment, protect it with your life. He's has never ever sang this way, in fact you watched on with jealously as he sang to Berry so sweetly it made your heart hurt. No you correct yourself, Rachel, after all she isn't that bad. You can contect with her; both of you have had your heart shattered, you with Finn, and she with Jesse. If it weren't for your pregnancy and the complete slowness caused by it, you would have followed Puck out of that door and helped them slash Vocal Adrenaline's tires. No girl deserved to be treated like that, even if it was Rachel Berry and your pregnancy hormones wanted nothing more than to smack her once and a while where her preppyness and annoyance got a bit too much for you to handle.
You place a hand on your stomach, pushing the wire out of the way and wait for the soft kick. Your baby responds with a soft thump, and you smile tearfully, wiping the wetness away. Puck looks right at you, and you just want to run and bawl your eyes out in the girl's bathrooms. Stupid pregnancy hormones, making you an emotional wreck basically all the time.
You know it in your heart that if this whole situation had been different, if you had just been a little bit older and tied down with a job and all that, your baby would be able to be with you forever. The whole 'Baby-gate' thing is still up in the air, and as your due-date looms closer you find yourself sitting up in the cold guest room of Puck's house and wondering what exactly you are going to do. Terri's adoption has fallen out, obviously, and on the weekends you often search the newspapers hoping that contain in it's pages there will be the ad that will save your life. Not that you don't want this baby, you do, you would do anything to be able to keep her, but that simply is not possible.
But if by chance that condom had worked, and you and Puck hadn't become part of the 0.01 percent that did fall pregnant, you know that nothing would have changed- you still would have been with Finn, Puck would have been shooting you glances then and again, you would have never found happiness through Glee club, and you never would have discovered how amazing Puck was underneath all of that tough exterior.
Plain and simple, despite everything that is happening to you- the weight-gain, the stretch marks, the emotional pain of knowing that you will have to give up your baby despite everything- you are glad that you became another statisic. Because if you hadn't, then you never would have found out that Puck is actually a nice guy, and not a badass, sex-obsessed jerk like he proclaimed.
Though he still is sex-obsessed, but that is to be expected, he is a teenage guy after all.
And when he tells you he wants to be there at the birth, you discover that there is so much more to Noah Puckerman than you had ever discovered, and a part of you is pleased at that fact. A part of you knows that even if you do have to give your baby up, if she comes out a girl, you will have no choice but to name her Beth. You wipe away the tears and smile softly, nodding slowly at Puck.
Your baby kicks once more, its tiny foot thumping against your belly.
It'll be alright.
Title comes from the Kiss song 'Beth', which I've kinnnnnda labelled as the Quinn/Puck theme song, it's too cute! XD Reviews are very much appreciatedddddd!
