Quinn Fabray had just gotten out of work, she had gotten in at around 5 in the morning to work on her defense for a petty drug charge against one of her clients, Linda Diaz. Quinn loved her job, everyone thinks that public defense lawyers all suck and get no money. However in the short 3 years she's been a lawyer, she has really made a name for herself she's definitely the most feared public defense lawyer in the tristate area.

"Ms Fabray thank you so much for all your help, I swear it won't happen again- this is the last time you'll be seeing me for something like this." Linda said following her out of the law firm.

Quinn continued walking forward, she put on a pair of sunglasses, "It's my job Linda. We'll meet tomorrow around 9 to go over your testimony." Quinn unlocked the door to her car

Linda nodded, "I'll be here at 8, thank you so much."

"No need, get your rest, just be here by 9. Do you need a ride home?" She opened the door to her car and Linda shook her head, "You sure? I'm heading to my son's school and I gotta pass through your area."

Linda shook her head again, "No it's fine, I'm gonna go meet with Roger," Roger was a former client of Quinn's, also Linda's brother. He was the most infamous crack distributor in Cleveland, Quinn sympathized with these drug dealers. Now he's made a decent living for himself after receiving a very light sentence, all thanks to Quinn.

"Tell him I said Hi, so 9 o'clock tomorrow."

"Yes of course thank you"

Quinn smiled at her, almost apologetically and got into her car.


Quinn ran. She had never ran that quick in heels before in her life. Her son had a baseball game, she never missed any of his games but she was always late. Quinn spotted her daughter Riley and her husband sitting in the crowd and ran over, sitting in an open seat next to her husband. She knew he would be pissed, she had already missed half of the game.

"Hi mommy!" Riley jumped out of her seat and walked over her dad and hugged Quinn,

Quinn laughed and kissed her daughters head and looked at her disappointed husband.

"You're late."

"I know Puck I got caught up in something at the firm." She pulled her hair out of her bun, "please tell me you brought me flats." Her daughter was sitting on her lap and playing with her hair

He sighed and handed her a plastic bag, "Aaron batted first and hit a home run"

Quinn smiled, "Oh my god really?"

"Yeah, would've been nice if you saw it."

"Mommy! It went allllllll the way up and disappeared in the sky!" She said pointing up and grinning.

Quinn bit her lip, "Please Puck, I feel bad enough for missing half the game." She began to take off her heels.

He took the shoes from her hand and put them back in the plastic bag, "You're lucky I love you I swear." Puck put his hand on the back of her head and kissed her. "He looked pretty upset when he looked in the crowd and didn't see you."

She threw her head back, "I'm sorry Puck-"

"Just apologize to him, but he's exactly like you he'll hold a grudge over this until we're old and grey."

Riley looked up at Quinn, her light brown hair looking almost blonde in the sun and her hazel eyes big, "It's okay if you miss one of my games mommy! I'll still love you."

"You're not gonna be in games you're gonna be in shows, like mommy was when she was your age." She said moving her hair out of her face

Riley shook her head, "No daddy signed me up for softball!"

Quinn squinted her eyes at Puck, "She's three Puck are you serious"

Puck laughed, "She wants to be just like her big brother right!" He smiled at her and tickled her stomach.

Quinn shook her head and looked on the field, Aaron was looking around and he spit on the floor. He had such a tough guy thing going on when he was on the field. He was so smug, just like his father.

Aaron is 13, going to be 14 in a month. He's at that point where he cares about how he looks, dresses, he was always a ladies man- also like his dad, but now he was really getting into them. He did well in school and sports, he tutors little kids and he's a great big brother. He told Quinn about everything up until 5 months ago, when she really started to become busy and Puck had not. Quinn wasn't able to work too much considering Puck was in the Air Force. One day he was guarding base and got shot, he retired early after deciding that it was not worth it when he had his wife and kids back home. He retired early and is finishing up his masters so he could be a professor. Quinn was working so much that Puck had to be the mom and dad to both her kids, but it's only fair right. It's what she had been doing for all those years.

Puck put his arm around Quinn's waist and pulled her and Riley closer, Riley stood up on the step in front of them and was jumping and cheering.

"Go Aawin!"

"Baby be careful" she ran her hand down Riley's back. Quinn leaned her elbow on her knee and her chin on her hand. She was staring at Aaron- both of them had the same pursed lips expression on their faces, it made Puck chuckle.

Puck tucked her hair behind her ear, "I think Sarah wants to take the kids out tonight." He ran his finger up and down her spine through the thin fabric of the black and white blouse she was wearing.

Quinn bit her lip, "I don't think Aaron is gonna forgive me for missing his home run and then sending him with his aunt." He continued running his finger up and down, smirking at her, "Puck stop it." She bit the inside of her cheek, "It's annoying." she lied.

"Mhm." His fingers ran down and then slid to her small waist, gripping on, "it's just been a while, since we had the house to ourselves."

She didn't say anything, she was just looking at Aaron. Of course she wanted a night alone with her husband, but she wasn't just a wife she was a mother. Being a mother always came first.

One of the kids hit the ball, hard and high, Riley jumped, "Get it, get it, get it!" She cheered. They watched as Aaron ran to the furthest wall. He looked up and jumped up high catching the ball in his glove.

Puck and Quinn jumped up and cheered as did the rest of the crowd. Puck was whistling and Quinn was screaming and they heard the bullhorn.

"Mercy Rule the Blue Dolphins win the game!"

Quinn's jaw dropped, "Wha...?"

She turned around and Puck picked her up, "Mommy they were ahead 10 runs and this is the end of the foth inning!"

"That's right Wiley." He mocked, his daughter was around his mom too much, she couldn't properly pronounce her R's

"That's not funny daddy my name is Wiley"

"That's what I said Wiley!"

"No daddy" she squished his cheeks, "Wwwiiilllleyyy"

"Wwiilleeeyyyyy" he kissed her over and over, "My Wiley"

"It's Willey!"

Quinn laughed a little and then walked down the stairs, Puck following behind. Quinn smiled at Aaron who was getting patted on the back by all his teammates. Puck put Riley down and she ran to Aaron and grinned, "Aawin that was so fwicken good!"

"Riley, watch your mouth in front of your mom" Puck smiled a little as he watched Aaron pick up Riley. She took of his cap and put it on her head.

"You want my winning ball?" He asked fixing his hat on her head. She grinned and nodded and he handed it to her.

"I think you're the best one on the team." Puck smiled at him and took Riley, "You can train Riley here, she's gonna do softball"

"Seriously dad?" He looked at Puck with his brow furrowed, Puck shook his head and laughed, then high fived Aaron.

Riley leaned her head on Puck's shoulder she had like an energy rush and was probably gonna knock out in the next thirty seconds. Puck probably let her have some cotton candy.

Quinn took the ball from Riley. "Think you could sign this for me?" She asked giving an unsure smile to her son.

"Sure, probably gonna be the only memory you have from my games."

"Aaron, chill." Puck looked at him with an eyebrow raised and Aaron rolled his eyes, "Hey." He said sternly.

Quinn sighed, "Baby, this is the last case I'm doing for a few months I promise, I won't miss another second of any of your games." She moved his blonde hair that was now soaked in sweat out of his eyes.

"Whatever."

Puck's eyes widened at Aaron, "Buddy watch your mouth with your mom okay."

He sighed and was about to open his mouth before his friend Daniel ran up to him putting a hand on his shoulder, "Yo, my dad is wondering if you wanna come with us for dinner, we're going to Olive Garden, it's hella good bro."

Aaron looked up at Puck, "Can I go dad please?"

"Nope, sorry. You got a family."

Daniel shook his head, "Y'all can come too, my parents love you."

Puck laughed, "it's okay, his mom has work to do so I'll probably just make something at ho-"

Quinn shook her head, "No it's fine, you can go if you want."

Aaron's eyes lit up, "Really?"

She nodded, "Yeah just call me when you want me to pick you up."

Aaron grinned, "Thanks! See you guys later." He walked away with Daniel and Quinn frowned.

"Baby... Don't."

Quinn closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose, "He fucking hates me." she ran her hands through her hair and then put the baseball in her purse.

Puck shook his head, "Please Quinn he doesn't hate you."

She felt herself start to cry but she held back the tears and took her keys out of her bag. She began walking to the car and Puck walked alongside her, "It's like he forgot I was fully present the first 12 years. I'm not a bad mother I just want to help people out since every public defense lawyer is shit. How come you waltz in and you're present for a few months and now you guys are best fucking friends." She opened her car door, got in and before she could slam the door shut Puck stopped her.

"Nuh-uh. You're too emotional to drive." He stuck his hand out, "Put your daughter in her car-seat. I'll drive."

Quinn bit her lip and handed him the keys, "Whatever." She stood up, took Riley and put her in her car seat. She moved her long brown hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. Quinn stroked her cheek and Puck honked the horn which made her jump. Puck smiled and look for her in the rear view mirror, her lips were pursed and her brow furrowed.

Quinn got in the front and closed the door, "You know you're a fucking idiot." She said angrily and leaned her head against the window.

"Take a nap please you've been up since 3." He put his hand slightly up her skirt and squeezed her thigh.

She sucked her teeth and pushed his hand away, knocked out 30 seconds later.


*******PLEASE READ AUTHORS NOTE********

Puck carried Riley in and tucked her in her bed. He went back to the car and shook Quinn, "Baby, baby get up."

"Hmmm?"

"Baby, come on we're home."

Quinn barely opened hers eyes and got out of the car. Puck closed the door for her and she stretched, "Take me inside daddy" She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.

Puck locked the car, put the keys in his pocket and wrapped his arms around her waist, deepening the kiss.

Quinn moaned against his mouth and bit his lip softly, then pulled out, "I'm serious my feet are killing me" she whispered against his lips and kissed them softly again.

He sighed, "Fine." Puck picked her up bridal style and brought her into the house, kicking the door behind him. He brought her into the bedroom and threw her down on the bed, like she was a book bag.

"Puck!" she laughed a little while he crawled on top of her and peppered kisses on her neck. He undid the button on her blouse and pulled it off of her shoulders. She wrapped her arms around his neck when he kissed her lips, her jaw, neck and then her shoulder he bit into it lightly and she moaned softly, "Puck..."

"Mmmm" he moaned against her shoulder and kissed her collarbone, then her chest, he got close to one breast while he was cupping another.

"Puck." She said plainly

He pulled away and looked up at her, "what?"

"Nothing."

Puck smiled and kissed her, tucking her hair behind her ear and cupping her jaw. He ran his tongue across her bottom lip and she opened her mouth, welcoming his tongue in.

He moved down to her neck, leaving hot and wet kisses, sucking in her skin gently. They may have been in their thirties but they still fucked like horny teenagers. Well they haven't for a while, but they both really wanted too. Quinn is just always working or tired or Puck is always with the kids or doing school work. It was hard.

Quinn bit her lip, she felt Puck hand slide behind her back. She arched her back and he unclasped her bra quickly "Why does your son hate me?" She sighed out.

Puck gave her a look, "You don't wanna have sex do you."

Quinn sighed, "No I do it's just- like I can't."

He rolled off of her and laid on his side, staring at her while she was staring at the ceiling, "Baby, you're over reacting."

"No I'm not Puck, he's at that age that he's growing like really growing. Entering the teenage years and me being an absent mother he's gonna fucking hate me forever. He's gonna remember my absence not yours."

It was cute how upset she got, "Quinn, remember when I came back, like right before Riley was born." Quinn looked at him and nodded, "Aaron fucking hated me. Ages 11 until recently Aaron couldn't stand me."

"Yeah but he was a kid"

Puck laughed, "He's still a kid Quinn, look- my dad wasn't there and my mom wasn't around because she was working so much. We can't both be fully present at the same time if we want them to have everything they want and need. We're both there as much as we can and we love our kids. We work hard for them not for us." He ran his fingers across her collarbone, "And don't worry Aaron isn't going to fucking hate you forever. You're not gonna be this busy forever, take a month off or two, when I start doing my summer session don't take any cases. We're fucking loaded babe"

She turned to him and smiled, "We are aren't we."

He nodded and smirked, "90% of it is my money though, don't forget."

"We don't have a prenup, so..." Puck leaned down and pressed her lips to hers, Quinn kissed back then pulled out, "it's all ours."

"But you're all mine, so whatever is yours is mine." He kissed her again, he slid his tongue into her mouth and brushed it against hers. Quinn stroke the hair on the back of his neck and sighed into his mouth, he responded with a low moan.

"That's so disgusting"

Puck pulled away quickly and looked over his shoulder to see a tired Riley rubbing her eyes and holding her stuffed yellow bunny by the ears. Puck was blocking Quinn but she stilled covered herself with her blouse.

"You should at least close the dooa" she grabbed the door knob and closed it. Puck smile and Quinn and got up, chasing after Riley.


Quinn picked up Aaron around 10, They had invited Daniel to sleep over but he couldn't sleep over because he had a lot of people sleeping over and Aaron was the only one that wasn't.

She could tell he was pissed when he sat in the back and not the seat next to her, "Hey honey." Quinn turned around and smiled at him.

"Hi." He said looking out the window, avoiding all eye contact, "Didn't you have work to do."

Quinn shook her head and began to drive, "not really, they violated the 'fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine' so it's a really easy case to win."

He didn't answer.

"That's like when they-"

"When they get evidence from illegally obtained information" he said annoyed, "extension of the exclusionary rule, I know." Aaron rolled his eyes and looked out the window.

Quinn was proud and hurt at the same time, "Look I know I've been busy lately but I'm still your mom, watch the attitude." He didn't say anything, just stared out the window, "Okay?"

"Okay."

"Like I said this is the last case I'm taking. Then you're gonna spend every waking moment with me." She saw his eyes widen through the rear view mirror

"Are you serious?" He asked with a furrowed brow

Quinn's brow furrowed as well, "No, but if I was that shouldn't be an issue. You know I carried you in my stomach right, for like 9 months. Then I pushed you out of my body for 17 hours."

"I didn't ask you to."

Quinn was pissed but still laughed a little because he was so much like her, she straightened out her face quickly, "Nice way to talk to me, the woman who gave you life." She took out her phone and began texting Puck.

Please talk to your son.

"Didn't you get in a car accident when you were like 16 because you were driving and texting." He asked with his arms crossed over his chest. Quinn turned around and shit a glare at him, "Just saying, I'm thinking about both of our safeties."

She smiled, "You're the worst."

"Learned from the worst." He said spitefully and Quinn drove into the garage, he go out quickly, but so did she.

Quinn stepped in front of him, blocking him from going upstairs, "You know you don't always have to have an answer to everything."

"How come you do?" He tried to step on the other side to walk past but she stepped in front of him, putting her hands on each side of the doorway

"I'm a lawyer."

"I'm a lawyer's son" he ducked under her arm and ran upstairs.

Not for long. Her ass was gonna be done soon- hopefully.
