Somewhere in the sunny continent of California, Noah "Puck" Puckerman was blissfully lying down, half-asleep. He felt the bed dip and opened an eye to look. It was Quinn Fabray, his absolutely gorgeous girlfriend for ten years (which was on and off, seeing as they're both stubborn and ambitious people). She had her Macbook on her lap and a cup of steaming tea on her left hand.
"Good morning." he greeted, his voice thick with sleep. She turned to him and kissed him on the cheek. He tried to kiss her on the lips but she backed away and pointed to the bathroom. He rolled his eyes, stumbled off her bed and dragged himself to the bathroom. Grabbing the toothbrush Quinn always saved for him, he began starting his morning routine of brushing his teeth and washing his face. Suddenly, he heard a loud gasp outside. Ignoring the rigid military part of him screaming to stick to his routine, he finished brushing his teeth immediately and joined his girlfriend on her bed.
Quinn was staring at her screen, her eyebrows scrunched up and her hand covering her mouth. Seeing his girlfriend looked so distressed, he wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed her gently on the shoulders. "What's wrong, babe?" he mumbled as he buried his face in golden tresses.
"She said yes." came Quinn's whisper. He lifted an eyebrow in confusion and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Who said yes?"
"Shelby."
That made Puck sit up straighter, as if a higher-ranking officer just appeared. "What did she say yes to?"
Quinn looked at him, her hazel eyes shining with tears. "We can go see Beth."
He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. Quinn wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face against his broad chest, sobbing.
We can go see Beth.
We can go see Beth.
The words kept repeating in his head, making some kind of symphony with Quinn's cries. His heart clenched at the words and he could do nothing but pull her closer to him.
"It's going to be fine, babe. We'll get through this." he cooed out as he rubbed her back and placed a few kisses on her hair. It took him an hour to settle Quinn down and it finally dawned on him:
After all these years, we're going to see our baby.
A/N: Tried my hand in writing fanfiction again. Damn, after all these years /3 I'm a Faberry shipper but I'm glad Puck and Quinn are officially together!
