This is my newest story and it tells a story of what could have happened had Quinn kept Beth. In this story, Quinn and Puck were together for seven months after Beth's birth before he left her and the baby for a different life. Follows glee canon except for the fact that in this story Finn and Quinn did not date again in their junior year, Quinn kept Beth and both Puck and Santana left McKinley after the summer of their sophomore year.

Also just wanted to say that some of my chapters are long and some are short. I write based on what I think are scenes and each scene gets a long chapter so don't get turned off if this story ends up being 40 chapters or so.

Disclaimer: I don't own glee. Wish I did because then it would be even more awesome than it is now.

This is part one of the prequel.

"Puck, my uh, my water broke," Quinn said as she looked at Puck. He was just as shocked as she was.

"What should we do?" he asked, terrified. It was clear from his reactions he was clueless on how to deal with this.

"We need to get Quinn to the hospital, now," Mr. Schue said as he stepped in front of the terrified Puck.

"What about Sectionals?" Rachel piped up.

Leave it to Rachel to think only of herself, Quinn thought. "I'm having a baby Rachel, I think that is a little more important than your stupid Sectionals."

"Fine," Rachel responded as she headed back to where the rest of the glee club was standing. "Come on Finn, let's go." She dragged him into another room as Quinn looked on. She hated that Finn was with Rachel. She hated every minute she had to see the two of them together but now all she was focused on was her baby and in making sure she was going to be born healthy.

"Puck, can we go please?" Quinn said now pleading with him.

"Uh sure, yeah let's go," he said still trying to let the fact that his daughter was about to be born, sink in.

"Mr. Schue, I'll go to the hospital with Puck, you guys stay here and win Sectionals," Quinn said to her teacher.

"Are you sure Quinn? You're going to be okay?" Mr. Schue asked as he noticed Puck shaking. He gave Quinn a look. "Are you sure?"

"Positive Mr. Schue," Quinn said giving her teacher a weak smile.

"We will be there as soon as our performance is over," Mercedes said as she hugged her friend. "Take care."

"I swear Puckerman if you screw this one up, I'll have to kill you myself," Santana said as her and Brittany gave Quinn hugs before heading to the performance room. Who knew Santana cared about, Quinn thought. She did after all according to San, steal her man.

Quinn smiled at her friends. "Break a leg!" she shouted before she winced in pain. "Puck we have to go, NOW!"

"Uh yeah okay, let's go," he said as he grabbed her hand and helped her to his car.

"It's going to be okay Puck," she said as he helped her into the seat. He stood leaning over her door as he helped her put on her seatbelt.

"I should be the one telling you it's going to be okay," Puck said as he hung his head disappointed with himself.

"I know," Quinn said softly.

"I'm just so scared. I don't know if I can do this anymore," he responded as he pulled his head up, the fact that he was crying evident in his face and his voice.

The look in his eyes was a combination of guilt and fear but Quinn wasn't in the mood to sympathize. She was the one having the baby after all.

"I don't care what you're going through because we're doing this, we have no choice," Quinn began. "We got into this mess together and now we have to finish it. I'm scared too Puck, but it helps knowing I have someone here with me. Even if after all that someone is you."

Puck had gotten used to hearing Quinn talk like this in the past few months. Ever since Finn found out the truth and in Puck's mind totally bailed on her, Puck stepped up to help Quinn. At first she had turned him away but it got a point that she needed him as much as he needed to help her. He wouldn't quite say they got along but for the sake of Beth, he was what Quinn needed. Even though her words sounded harsh he knew that was her way of saying thank you.

He smiled at her before he closed the door, "I'm not going anywhere."

It was a few minutes before Puck actually started the car. "Why haven't you started the car yet?" Quinn asked concerned.

Puck had no reason. He put the keys into the ignition and began to drive away. After a few minutes of a silent ride he told her why he had waited and what was on his mind. It was simple but sweet at the same time.

"You're going to have our little girl," Puck smiled as he looked back at her.

Quinn smiled back at him and reached out to grab his hand. "We're having a little girl," she corrected.

It was definitely more than Beth, there was something real there. They both knew it but wouldn't admit it. It was just easier to say it was Beth. She was the reason why it all happened in the first place. She was the reason why Puck fell in love with Quinn.
