In the morning, a little girl with blonde locks and hazel eyes opened the door to her parents' room to find them still sleeping. The creak woke her mom up. As her mom opened her eyes slowly, the girl ran away and giggled.
"Drizzle!" Quinn called, laughing. The little girl sneaked into her parents' room. She climbed onto the bed giggling. Quinn laughed. Finn buried his face on Quinn's back and pulled the covers, but his daughter won't allow this to happen.
"Finn, wake up." Quinn said, unable to move because Finn's face was buried on her back.
"Mommy, are we going to grandma's today?" Drizzle asked.
"Yes." Finn said rather unclear. He pulled his daughter's hands. She fell and her head hit his ribcage. They both whined. Quinn laughed.
"Daddy that hurts!" Quinn closed her mouth, hiding her laugh. "Mommy!" She whined, "don't laugh." Quinn pursed her lips together.
"Yes, mommy, don't laugh." Finn said, laughing. "Go get ready, we'll leave soon, ok?" Drizzle went out of their room and got ready. Finn and Quinn laughed and got themselves ready as well.
Finn put on a white shirt and Quinn put on a white dress.
"Finn, can you zip this up for me?" She asked him. Finn smiled and zipped it up. He kissed her neck and smiled. "You know the door is not locked." She smiled.
"So?" He asked. "I have the license to do that." He laughed. She hit him playfully.
"Daddy!" Drizzle called from outside. Quinn raised an eyebrow with a grin on her face.
"Be there soon!" He replied.
And so, they left for Carol's house. Drizzle spent the day with Carol, hiding from Quinn and Finn. Quinn and Finn didn't seem to mind though. They enjoyed being alone fore a while. A break from their daily routine.
"Hey, tomorrow's your birthday, maybe that's why she's so secretive." Finn said, remembering that their daughter was with his mom.
"Or maybe she just wants to get away from us." She laughed. When they were talking about their daughter and Finn's mom, they heard the door opened.
"I have to go make dinner first, honey. We'll finish that after dinner, ok?" Carol said. Quinn and Finn turned to see her and their daughter.
"Fine!" Drizzle shouted. She looked at Quinn and Quinn gave her a questioning look. Drizzle sighed. "Ok." She said apologizing.
"I'll help you with dinner." Quinn volunteered.
"Ok, then, looks like it's just you and me, Driz." Finn said. With Burt out of town, Carol was alone. "What do you want to do?" He asked, but Drizzle just shook her head. "You're not talking to me?" He laughed, reminded of how Quinn used to give him a silent treatment when he did something she didn't like. "Ok, then I'll just watch the TV alone." He looked at her, knowing that she would follow him. And she did. She followed him and sat on his lap. Finn smiled.
Quinn approached the two after she had finished cooking. She took her daughter's hand and led her daughter to the dining room. Finn followed behind them.
"Looks good." Finn said as he saw what was on the table. Dinner was pretty fast. Drizzle rushed so that she could continue with whatever she was doing. She dragged Carol into the room where they hid, leaving Quinn to clean the dishes.
"Need help?" Finn stood over the counter. Quinn smiled. Finn was not the best person to ask help with the dishes. Finn smiled back at her.
Once Quinn was finished with the dishes, Drizzle was already waiting in the living room.
"Mommy, can we go home now?" She pouted. Quinn was rather confused. Drizzle wasn't usually whiny.
Quinn held out her hand for Drizzle to grab. Drizzle grabbed her mom's hand and dragged her mom to their car. Quinn opened the door for Drizzle and helped her daughter to get in the car.
"What's wrong?" She asked her daughter as she stood by the door of their car. Drizzle crossed her arms.
"I just want to go home, mommy." Quinn smiled and hugged her daughter.
"We'll be home soon. I'll make you hot chocolate?" She brushed Drizzle's hair out of her face. Drizzle's mood seemed to be boosted. "Now don't be upset?" She kissed Drizzle's cheek.
"But daddy's taking too long." Finn rushed to the car.
"Ok, let's go home." He smiled at his daughter. "Bye, mom. Thanks for tonight." He said from inside the car. Quinn was already sitting in the passenger seat.
"Thank you. I'm so sorry we have to leave you alone tonight." Quinn added. Carol checked on Drizzle and smiled.
"It's ok. Sleep tight tonight, honey." She said to Quinn. "Have fun tomorrow." Quinn smiled and mouthed 'Thank you'.
Finn started the engine and drove back to their house. Drizzle was talking about random things throughout the ride and Finn and Quinn couldn't stop laughing. The street was pretty busy, but Drizzle's voice seemed to prevent the sounds from the other cars to enter their car.
When they finally arrived, Quinn made Drizzle a cup of hot chocolate as she had promised. Drizzle drank it quickly and got ready for bed.
