Chapter One

I was happy in New Haven with just Beth and me. I had her. I was trusted with her after Shelby died. Beth would ask about her father. I would tell her he didn't know I had her. I would see the look in her eyes that said I want to know my father. There was finally a chance for Puck to meet her. Rachel arranged a Glee reunion in New York at Finn and her house.

"Hey Beth." I called her from her room. "Yes mommy?" she said, she was 5. "Do you want to meet your daddy?" I asked her. Her eyes widened. "YES!" she screamed. "Shh," I said. "Go pack a bag. We're going to New York to visit Auntie Rachel and Uncle Finn." She nodded and ran to her room. I looked at my phone and tried to find the last picture of Puck I had. It was the one from when Beth was born. I wondered if Puck was still the same. Was he even coming? If he didn't, this would still be a good opportunity to get to know Santana and Brittany, Kurt and Blaine, Mike and Tina. Beth was really close to Rachel. Rachel taught Beth to sing a little. It was cute. They would put on little shows. "MOMMY!" I heard Beth scream. I walked to her room. "Yes honey?" I asked. "I finished packing." She said. I opened her suitcase and saw just toys in there. "You need clothes honey. I'll help you pack." I said. "Sorry mommy, I'm just so excited to see my daddy. I never met him. What's he like?" she asked me. I got my phone and showed the picture of Puck, Mercedes, Beth, and I. "Is the baby me?" she asked. I nodded. "Is that you and Auntie Mercedes?" she asked. I nodded. "Is that my daddy?" she asked. I hesitated to nod. But I did anyway.

"He looks funny." She said. I laughed. "We better get you packing. We'll be there for a week." I said. I helped her pack her pajamas, her swimsuit, her toothbrush and shampoos, and her going out clothes. Then I got to her bunny that Puck gave me to give to Beth. I put that in and zipped it. "Are you okay mommy?" Beth asked. "Yes honey, it's just been a while since I saw your dad." I said. "How long?" she asked. I replied, "3 years." "Wow." She said. "I need to help you pack mommy." I nodded. I picked her up and carried her to my room. She wasn't the best at packing for herself. But she was amazing, somehow, at picking my clothes.

…

We finished packing and we had the flight two days later. Rachel insisted she pay for everyone's flight. When you think about it, a Broadway star could pay for anything. Santana and Brittany are coming with their adopted daughter from France. Mike and Tina have their twins. Kurt and Blaine are bringing their son from Cuba. Sam and Mercedes have no kids. I have Beth to bring. Sugar and Rory are childless. Mr. Schuester and Ms. Pillsbury (now Schuester) are coming with their daughter. Rachel and Finn have their son. Artie has a son and daughter, which he raises by himself. So a lot of people are there. Artie took the same plane as us since he lives in Stratford.

"Hi Uncle Artie!" said Beth greeting Artie. He wheeled in with his 3-year-old daughter, Arianne, and his 7-year-old son, Jonathan. "Hey Beth. Hey Quinn" he replied. "Hey Artie. Hey Arianne and Johnny." I said greeting them. Beth and Arianne were close in age (3 and 5) so they like to play together. We sat down in the waiting area. "So you're going to see Puck. And Beth is too." Said Artie. "Yeah, she's been wanting to meet Puck for a while. She was so excited when I mention him." I said. "But this might be a one time thing." Said Artie. "I know it's not because it's Beth we're talking about, Puck's daughter that he hasn't seen in a while. He would want to stay in her life as her permanent father." I said. Artie nodded. "Now boarding flight #378; Group C." said the flight attendant. "That's us." I said. "Come on Beth and Arianne." We got on the plane. Arianne, Beth and I sat in the middle row that seated three people. Artie and Jonathan sat in the back of us. The girls were watching a movie together and eating cookies they got on the plane. I thought about what I would say to Puck. If he even wanted to be in Beth's life. That was huge. Would he want to be in my life? The last time we had a real conversation was in senior year when we said goodbye to each other. What would Beth say to him? What would he say to Beth? It's all to confusing.
